This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Thank you for listening to the Late Breaking F1 podcast. Make sure to tune in for new episodes every Wednesday and Grand Prix Sunday. Well, welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Ead, Sam Sage, and me, Ben Hocking. And rather than shout at you via the power of modern technology, I can just shout at you as you're right next to me. Give you a punch, mate. You could. I can't believe you.

We're in the same place. Yeah, we're in the same place. This is ridiculous. It's going to be the silliest thing we've ever done. And that is saying a lot because two episodes ago we literally laugh for two minutes about Gubui. So this could be intense. We've got a roast thing. Other things coming up.

It's going to be mental. Yeah. So this is a very special episode in that it's our 200th episode special. Oops. We're recording this direct. after the 208th episode. Yes. Yes.

And we don't even know when it's going to go out. So we might be well into the two tens by the time it's out. Directly. Directly. That's a very cool thing. Yeah, at some point.

If you're going to listen to a podcast called late breaking, don't be surprised when things are late. Correct. That's all I would say on that one. Correct. Three parts to this special episode. First part is going to be a Q&A.

So we've got loads loaded up. they're going to do a roast so people have roasted us in the Discord and full disclosure on this usually for submissions we listen to them and we vet them beforehand we have not done this we are listening to everything

roast-wise for the first time so it could be utter carnage and then I've got a quiz for both of you that covers all of our first 200 episodes that worries be more than the roast yeah it should do because we make terrible content. So I only feel like you can roast us so badly

when we're about to listen to the first 20 episodes back again because they were so bad, so very bad. Oh, I mean episode one. I've never gone back to listen to it because I'm afraid. I know what it's called. It's called What Next for McLaren? But I don't remember what was next for McLaren. Lots of things had happened.

Yeah. I think it's probably about Fernando Alonzo. Magic! It's usually about Fernando Alonzo, head of the fan club, of course. Thank you. Should we get into some questions? Yes.

QMA! So we'll go from the form, first of all. Thank you to everyone that submitted a question. Obviously, we're not going to be able to get around to absolutely all of them. And there are some instances where there are similar questions where we'll probably just double up a little bit. The first question, obviously, we've got no idea. It's anonymous, so we've got no idea who this is from. Why is Harry so awesome?

Oh, I recommend that from Harry. Every time we do any kind of public survey, Harry submits his own answer about why he's so great in some variation. Well, anonymous Asker. I don't know. I can't reveal the answer to that, but it's a great question. Such a suss. You deserve that.

You deserve it. Great. Great. All right. We'll get that one out of the way. The next question, and this is one that we've had in a few different guys in other questions as well, what is the two? tree story.

We briefly mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and said it was probably best saved for something like this. So essentially this will be a question of how did you guys meet? Yeah. Sam, I'll let you tell us one. This is a how we met question. Minus me.

Well, no, I'll stop. Okay, yeah. Because Ben technically covers it later on into the story. So late, the late part of the late breaking. So if you know how we met, it's a really like, it's a long as, Actually, we've been properly friends for, what, a decade, just over a decade now? Cricky.

Yeah, come up to 11 years. But we all knew each other individually. Well, I knew both of you individually before we became a trio, which was in history class, in our A levels, in college as when we became a trio. But how did we meet? So, Harry used to play water polo, which, if you've ever seen, go on Google it, it's a rather brutal sport. And I met Harry playing water polo when we were, what, 11, 12? Yeah. We were children, properly children.

And we used to play in the pool together and hurt each other and fighting the water. That was fun. And then I never really spoke to Harry again because we went to different schools until we went to college. And then during the same secondary school, we got I got to my final year. You need to bear in mind that I'm a year old and both Harry and then. Ancient. That's why the story comes up. I'm just so old in comparison to these.

I'm literally 12 months old in the mayor. I was the deputy headboy of the whole school. The tree story comes in a bit earlier than this, though. Oh, it does it? I thought it was the school council that I ran, though. It was the school council, but it was a, I did know you when you were deputy head for year 11. But I think the tree story goes back to when you were year eight or nine and I was year seven. Was it that long ago? Yeah, yeah. Cric, anyway, okay, so we're in the school council meeting and me and Ben who are both freaking nerds,

which is a very old school late breaking joke that we're in freaking nerds. We were both representing the school council for our respective years. Imagine what our school was like. We both voted on. This is a vote, and both me and Ben, Ben and I, had been voting into the school council. Now, I didn't take it as seriously as others. Or Ben.

Well, hang on. No, you had to laugh, to be fair. But you were very young as well at the time. If you didn't take it seriously... I was on it every year for five years. The tree story wouldn't exist if you didn't take it seriously, because he would have wrapped. Go on, go on. The true story comes from when an teacher came into the meeting, I believe I remember this right,

and discussed how we should renovate a certain area of the school. And the students were given a say, which is lovely that the staff wanted to give the students of the school as saying how the school was developed and changed and whatnot. Now, part of our school had a little lovely. the open glass corridor. And either side you could see some grass, some trees, some nature area, and it was all being planted. And now, Ben said that I was taking it seriously,

and I must have cared passionately. No, no, no, no, no. I was arguing the story simply because I didn't want to leave any earlier. And I had no interest in going back to my classes, and I thought it was funny. And they asked at one point, what trees should we have in this? Two options. Two options.

They looked the same. They looked the same. I tracked this tree debate on for an hour. Yep. An hour I went on. To be clear, there were about, I'd say a dozen of us on this council. Yeah, that everyone, except from Sam, was unanimous that we should go with tree A. Like I said, there wasn't really much of a difference.

But Sam would not give up that tree B was the tree for us. Did you win? I think I don't really care I don't really know it wasn't the point the point was I was wanting to talk about it for a bit because it was fun so that's how me and Ben met

we met from debating what tree should go in the school area I just remember being like I'm not going to speak to this guy much and now look we're best friends and we've done something together

for over a decade and then we all met in college where we were going to have lunch together and play Formula One games together and can I just say I mean this is where I come back into the story yeah

what are the so we all went to the same college and I think I met Ben again before I met you Sam you did and we were sat next to each other in history we did all did history together as Sam God already mentioned and me and Ben were sat next to each other as the lesson was starting and then Sam walked in maybe a couple of minutes late

okay and he came in and then he whipped out his buzzed lightly at lunchbox I was like And then we had like a really lengthy discussion about lunchboxes and then there was an innuendo joke about lunchboxes. From the teaching, not from us. Yeah. And then that was it.

It went from there. And then we, and then, and now 10 years later, we're here. The stupid jokes, the weird moments, you know, we had to do a quiz together at one point that we all formed together. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. And I was right. Of course, I was running late and I texted guys saying, I was treking through grassy peatown, which is a really weird.

Which is a park. It's a park where I used to live. It was called Paltor Park. It was called Peltor Park if you want to look it up. And I nicknamed it at grassy Peatown. It goes on to this day. Don't look up Poltet Park, though. It's an horrible.

It's horrible. Jesus. We grew up in Toronto is a gorgeous place. We managed to grow up in one of the not nice places. Well, not in Polteret. I wouldn't grow up in Poulter Park. Anyway. So I think that probably covers it.

That's how we met. How we met. a long time ago. A question here. Can I take Sam out on a date for dinner? Bloody hell. Is this one of you two? No.

Not messing with... Yes, you can. You have to pay for everything. I love chicken nuggets. And as long as I haven't got to put my hand in my pocket because we don't earn any money from this podcast. Yeah, you can buy me whatever you want. Feel free.

Let's go crazy. Let's have a lot of fun. All right, we'll stick on food for the next one. Good. Potentially. you go to your local ASDA. I do regularly. But you're only allowed five things.

What do you buy to hold you over for a week? A week? A week? And I want to have five things. Five. But I haven't got a budget. Five pizzas. Apparently not. Right? I could get five. Chicken and bacon, barbecue pizzas with stuff crusting up.

Sorry, you would actually do that. I mean, they are delicious. They are wonderful. So you know, I think by pizza five, you might be a bit sick of it. No, okay. So I get my recording day pizza, which I have a lot. every single week. Asgo, if you'd like to give us a sponsor,

that'll be delightful. But I mean, that's going to make an abundance of lovely objects. I'm not sure necessarily what I would do to survive for five days. They've got that lovely, fuzzy, sparkling water. It's very good.

You know, the flavour stuff. It's very cheap. Very cheap. I'm a cheap man, quite frankly. But you could probably get, you're probably fine for water. Yeah, true. 72 chicken nuggets.

I'm thinking pasta. I'm thinking, like, pasta. or Brett. I'm going more sustain yourself. Yeah. Have you not, you're both

been students at university, me included. I like that you've gone for 72 chicken nuggets. I know. I know.

Why is just 100? Yeah, because they're only coming back from 72. I know for a fact that you can only buy them as 72 chicken dippers,

breaded or battered, always the battered. I'm sorry. You can't remember so many stats about F1. And you know that there are

72 chicken nuggets specifically. I do. I would honestly have to live off those. And I think for a long time at university, regularly would buy those. I can't give you five answers, but I hope that's an insight into mine. I don't shop at Azda. I shop at Morris. It's big up Mazars. That's not a global thing.

Obviously, Asda is Walmart in America. Morrison doesn't exist abroad, I don't think. Yeah, I don't know if it does. I mean, tell us, people, if there's a morrison. In the US. Where do you shop? Astor mate. Come on,

two to one. I used to be an Asda boy. Yeah. But then... Asda delivery. Asa delivery is amazing. I do like myself. I didn't say they didn't.

No, we all have to... Don't get defensive about Morrisons. This is the worst episode already. We're all frenzy. Aren't we? Big Moes. Come on. Big Moes.

Top most is like. It's a supermarket. I don't think that answers the question. Anyway. Which is a recurring theme, it seems. If you could be any animal, what would you be in why? Harry? I would be...

This is going great. Good question. Great questions. I'd have to be a bird of some sort because I would like to fly. So that's a fair answer. I have a love for all things sharks. Sharks? I have loved sharks. And spiders, actually, since I was very, very little.

But if I was to be an animal to exist, I'd rather be a shark for a spider. I'd be either a bull shark or a white or a shark I can swim everywhere, I can eat everything People leave me alone because I'm scary In there like, or a grizzly bear A big brown there, I think they look cuddly Because I was like, oh my God, the door is just closing at some A ghost. A ghost, because I'm not recording

I'll go for a bear as well because they look fun Yeah I like your own, so actually Bird. Yeah, some sort What kind of birds? I don't know an eagle, you know, not a pigeon remember. Sparrow. Yeah, I'd be a seagull.

You just said that. You can say the second word. Unbelievable. Oh, good. Back to F1. Which is or was your favourite F1 team and why? Oh, you're looking at me for a face? Yeah, go on then.

I don't know who yours is. Deep down, I'm still. a Ferrari fan, which is why their current form, and when I say current, the last 10 years has been, has been, it hurts me inside still. Stem from a, stem from a Schumacher love as a child.

Understandable. But there's something about Ferrari, even when they are being monumentally useless, you know, they're still a big draw to the scarlet car. I do stand down. don't they? They are red.

They are red. The red car. Can confirm. Yeah. Red. That's going as a quote. I, I, my favourite team in Formula One was Jordan. EJ.

EJ was a menace. I feel like I weirdly relate a lot to EJ in who I am as a person. He's a bit of a terrorizer, a bit of a numpy. And also that wasp livery, the banks of the head is yellow liver with the wasp on the nose. I think it's the best delivery of all time in Formula One. It's not much about the drivers or what they achieved. It was the mentality of the team. They're a bit of an underdog.

And I love the car. And when I started watching Formula One, they were obviously in it. I was maybe three, four years old. When I started to notice who they were in yellow is my favourite colour. So it's a bit of a weird reason to have a favourite team. But that's what I noticed as a kid. So yeah, Jordan as a kid, I don't have a favourite team now.

I've kind of moved on. When you make a podcast, I'm sure, the same. You kind of see the whole. sport rather than just one team. But yeah, as a kid, that was who I supported. And I always had a bit of a thing for DC and Mr Chunky from Pablo Montoya. Mr Chunky. I'm going to copy and paste.

Your answer, Jordan for me, was my favorite team, sort of plucky underdogs. And the liveries, of course, were absolutely gorgeous. I agree with you about E.J. There's something special about that guy. He's a special man. To give it at least something. different to what you've said, I would also put

a Renault in there just for the mid-Norties Renault. Yeah, the blue one. Yeah, you know, classic drivers like Fizzichella and Trilly. You know, Alonzo over there is a second driver as well. Hey, phicola. Come on, Fizzy. Heikko-O-Lyman. Yeah, but they moved away from the, I mean, core like 0405-06 Renault.

Babyface. So yeah, it's our answers. Tea or coffee. We obviously know each other's answer on this, but might as well set it around. Tea or coffee, Sam? When I'm at home, tea, when I'm out about coffee. Coffee, it can't stand tea. Tea, can't stand coffee. Look at that. We've ticked all three boxes there.

Boom, next question. We're flying through these. I mean, just... Do you want to expand on tea or coffee? We have to also discuss sugar and milk situation. I think people would probably want to know that. Oh, God. Never sugar for me. Used to have a sugar, never now,

and I'm lactose intolerant, but with tea, I'll take more milk because it just tastes better. With coffee, I'll have a little bit of almond or I milk. Interesting. One sugar, splash of milk every time. Splash of milk for me as well, and

I'm going to split the difference, half a sugar. You bloody legend. Filthy pervert. I'm not quite sure that was necessary. To Phil Schofel... You know, you only came along about where. where they're making pasties on good morning in Britain, right?

And someone puts... On this morning. Yeah, this morning, which is a British TV show, folks. This is great. He had the Campo, I think, who's the Italian chef, makes a Cornish pasty.

And he recommends to Phil Schofield. He goes, and maybe if you want to make it healthy and you can have salad in your pasty. And Philip Schofelphold turns around and goes, salad and a pasty! You, filthy pervert! That is a sincerity.

It is a brilliant clip. My are my favourites. Right. We've got some more questions that we're going to get to right after this, but I'm going to watch that video. Watch it now. All right. Second half of the Q&A section.

I have now watched that video, folks, by the way. It's utterly hilarious. This one's right guy. He put it on the fore, but he said to do it as by. Get it right, bro. Yeah, figure it out, bro. If you could organise a race, anywhere in the world, where would you host them why?

What'd you say, Larry? Cornwall. Really? Is that a serious answer? Where would I host a race? Snuffle. Man, Ross with Pete Town? That's a very good question.

Where would I want to host a race? Are we going like any place ever? Are we going for tracks that technically do exist, history or future? I think we can go with whatever. Shut up. Public. Sorry, folks. There's a bike here.

I'm not going. Where would I like to host a race? Let's say, I don't know. India. I know everybody had one in India. Would you go back to the lovely Bud? I wasn't mad at the Bud International. Some nasty metals backyard.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So maybe not go there again because you just win. But, yeah, I feel like it never got a real fair shot as a country to, I don't know, India's got various problems but you know it seemed to have a lot of a lot of colour behind it when we went to budge

so yeah I'll go India So a pretty exporting nation It's considering obviously the population size It's on to the country itself It is pretty surprising that we haven't been there more

in Formula One Yeah I'm supposed We haven't tried to go back But anyway I would replace The Australian Grand Prix Currently with Mount Panorama Bathurst

I would love to see Formula 1 cars go around there I think it would do the thrill and the scares that Monaco promises, but actually provide them. Even managed to get Monaco slumber into this podcast. You think we're getting a silly, rude Q&A episode. I'm not slacking off Monaco. Baby some Monaco slang down. Oh, dear.

Yeah, so Mount Pangaramah, I think we've got, we've been to most of the best places worldwide, maybe not all the best tracks, but for me, we saw that Gengsen Button, that we broke the record, right? That was amazing on its own. So Mount Pangorama, full 20 cars. Let's go, baby. I'm going to say somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, rural Scotland. I'll try them here. We've re-jackie skit.

Sorry to any Scottish. Cheers. Well, we're never going there anymore, but yeah, I think that'd be an incredible backdrop. If I want to invite us a knockyll, by the way, I'd be very up for going for any race. Only knockil, though. Don't get in touch if you have. If you want to send us out to Las Vegas for next year's group. free, don't bother.

If you're only interested in Notkill, is what I mean. If you're Scottish, you're saying this to Scotland, knock kill is a bangor. Fair point. You can swap two drivers on the grid just to see what they can do in another car.

Who are you swapping, son? Fernando Alonkso and Max Verstappan. Oh, huge. I want to see if Fernando's still got it to beat both the Ferraris in a car that can theoretically win a championship and his teammate, but I also want to see Max Verstappen now

in a car that is a bit of an up-and-comer. Can he maybe nick a few podiums where the current LP drivers can't do so? For the banter, Lewis Hamilton and Nicholas Satifi. That is banter. That is good for the banter. Because I'd love to see what happened to.

And this is not saying, me saying, he's never driven a bad car in his life, etc. I'm not saying that. But I would just be so interested to see what Hamilton could do in the worst car on the grid. And I'd love to see what the TV could do it in one of the best. Not to say, obviously Mercedes isn't quite the best. year but maybe circa 2021 we're talking um i just think i feel that would be ridiculous what was it last

year was it was it the w12 that they drove is it w 13 this year sure i would argue that the w12 is the best race car either either last year or 2020 yeah imagine putting lettifi in that for a full season yeah i'd be up for that i would love to watch it happen yeah um what will i go for i would swap Perez and Lecler. To see if they can achieve. I want to see LeCleur versus Vestappen at the same team. Ooh. That would be, and that means we've got to get Perez elsewhere.

Sorry, Perez. Yeah, sorry Perez. I'm keeping him in a pretty good car. So, you know. Pretty good. I mean, it's a race winner. Exactly. So I want to see LeClaire Vastappen quite well.

I like that. That's a fun right. Oh, I think actually quite a sense of a decent ounces from the three. Yeah. Well done. That's enough of us. That's the first one. Oh no

there isn't actually much to answer here I don't think but here we go we all know Ben loves the Dallas Cowboy You'll be delighted to know in brackets this person has put Yeha What other American sports

Do you guys follow and what are your favorite teams The Dallas Cowboys What about some other teams that are definitely not going to be made up? Well... Miami Dolphins. Miami Dolphins. The Chicago Bulls.

The Raiders. Look at me going. I might be... I don't want sports. This is great. I'm just like... Famous teams. I'm just choosing.

Space Jam. Space Jam. is a team, sure. I can do the themes on the Space Cam, but I don't know anything about the sport. Okay.

I'll go, well, I watch Indycar. I think we all do. Yeah. Yeah. Do I have a tickler team in Indycar that I like? The Red Sox.

Oh, that's what Indiccar. Don't know. The New York Giants. Yeah, and the Mets. That's from Madagascar. No, New York Giants. We are going cross-sport. I love this.

And what about the Lakers? They're baseball. Yeah, their basketball, yeah Oh, God, look at me! I'm flying high! Yeah, there's something New England Patriots. That's American Football.

Just New England Patriots is fine, yeah. Well done. We are not making an embarrassment of ourselves. I did feel like this question would turn into you two trying to name sports teams from America and jumping between basketball, baseball, and American football almost instantly.

I don't watch any American sport other than Indica. Yeah, I like a bit of index. the cut. We're going to watch it together this weekend. I think I would happily go and see hockey live. Yeah. I know it's not strictly American sport but it's very much played. It's one of the big four. I would love to see a hockey match

so I'm going to L.A., Vegas in Chicago. What about the soccer? I don't, I mean I watch football, so it's normal football with your feet in England. I think, yeah, so I love American football, love basketball, like some college

basketball as well sometimes. March Madness. That's my birthday. Yeah, it's great. That's March Magnus. Yeah. I don't really have a favourite team, though. I just love it for the sport.

Do we have a team? Don't they come over here? Doesn't NFL come to London for something? Yeah, so they do, usually about three games here. It's the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Jaguars. The Jaguars? The Jaguars! They are, I guess, the de facto home team in London

because they'll always play one game every year in London. So we don't have a team at all. No, no. And the Jagu was, sorry to anyone from Jacksonville. Apologies to anyone from Jacksonville. Jaguas are awful. They are terrible. We suck.

Okay. Eihar. But there are talks about, potentially. We would like to learn more about the sports. So take us down on the speakeasy and show us your ways. We're moving on. I actually said this one I read out to Sam earlier but for the benefit of everyone else I feel like I need to read it out again and there isn't even a question to this hey guys love the podcast I've been listening since day one by far the best F1 podcast out there thank you very much so not so much a question more an observation Sam Sammy boy you have the voice of a 60 year old man what when I found out your actual age, I was so shocked.

Your podcast voice just sound old as hell. Love you and the voice, though. Good luck for the next 200. Old as hell. That is the worst. That could be worse than the roast. That is worse than anything the roast could say. I'm 27 for crying out loud. Only just 27.

Real old. Do I sound old? I think I sound the most useful. Yee-ha. Look at me hit that Yee-ha. So I'll look at a couple from the from the Discord. Well, this is, Vig and Spiker came up with a few questions,

but I wanted to pick out one of them specifically. Who came up with the logo and why green? Do I get to claim that one? I think the original LB marking itself, yes. Yeah, well, we didn't know how to do anything when we first started. Absolutely not. Elby, as it was on Drive Tribe.

So I don't know why, but I just picked a picture of a brawn and then I wrote late breaking over the top of it in the same colours. But I did it on Microsoft PowerPoint and then just screenshot it and that was the logo. How long, many years ago was that now? 2016. So that was six years ago. Yeah. But I mean, to be fair, we all loved Braun. We all love Rubberts Varrikele against a button.

Yeah. Right. And it was a team, I think, as well, that we love the simple design of and we never truly all supported a team. so we could get behind it at the same time and whenever you're set out of business you've got to look at the rival companies which of course we do we've had it on the podcast no one who claimed green

as the main colour we've got a podcast then but even though Formula One no one had claimed green so it makes sense I think yeah and then since then we've no green it's us significantly evolved it's yeah we actually paid someone to make the logo which

was probably an improvement than and we get copyrighted You can't use late breaking Not what you'll ever want to No Without our permission in any form of podcast They're breaking podcast, yeah Copyright

Oh yeah You can use late breaking if you want They put the word podcast So we'll sue you familiar Have to pay double if you want to do Two lots of phrases So I didn't want to do that That's true

Should we get into more IPO regulation We've been in the sand taxes So yeah Another one from the Discord I like this one This is from Grizzly Black FIA comes to you and says you can change one rule

that's been implemented. What do you change? Ooh. What would you change, Ben? I need to have to think about this because, I mean, I'd change everything. There are a lot of rules I have to change. There's a lot, but one is hard to choose from.

Maybe what we can do is decide if we agree on each other's rule and collectively they will change all three of them. I would, to be honest, there are lots of things, as you say, I would make sure that we have one race, the same set of stewards for every race. Fair? Because currently we don't, and it's bad.

Oh, one I would definitely change, free tire change at red flags. Yeah, yeah, fair doce. One that I would change is remove blue flags from the sport. Blue flags. Blue flags. Blue flags. you got a car that quick make your way through that traffic yeah indi car start unless you're a lap down already you don't get a blue flag no interesting interesting um so yeah call us up fia we'll get it done

for you cool uh let's have one more uh again from the discord this one's from chili facts if you could have any of the f1 reporters or commentators any country as a regular sidekick on the show Who would you choose and why? A regular sidekick? Oof. From any what, Pundit, TV Pungity. Yeah, I get F1 personality.

Yeah, it's probably going to be one of the Channel 4 crew. I think me and Steve. You and Steve, veto. You and Steve, that would be unimaginable. I would be very, very happy.

The man is incredibly lovely to look at, which I mean, you're a podcast, folks, so you won't know, but I get to sit opposite him. And I just feel like we would. vibe all day long. Or David Coulter, because he has held me

as a baby. So it's a real circle, there's a real circle. But Steve Jones would be the number one. I'd mark whether it would be another one for me because I just love the amount of good phrases he has to say. The goat scream that he did. And he did a mini one as well

at Silverstone this year when Hamilton Drive through it on. He was just like, whoo! I would probably go for Shaquille O'Neal. Big Jack. Not seeing him commentate or something before, but... No, I'm sure he'd do a great job.

Would you commentate on his shoulders? Yes. Who would... And then Shaquille O'Neer would be on Yuki Sanoda's shoulders. Uki... Shoulders? Showno... Shonoh.

Oh, God. I don't actually... I mean, Jack Nichols would be fantastic. We love Jack Nichols, friend of the podcast. Friend of the podcast. Loser of quizzes, friend of the podcast. Come on. No, you can't keep reminding him.

He's never going to come back on. I don't care. I won. Don't care. We'll leave the Q&A at that. Thank you. Thank you very much for all the questions. Apologies for those of you that we didn't get around to. But yeah, we did our best.

So thank you very much. We'll move on now to the roast portion of this podcast. That I've got absolutely no idea how this is going to go. We're going to play all the audio clip. Shush. Vehicle's going to go by. And we'll be right back after this. Okay, so we've given you the opportunity to roast us.

We've got absolutely no idea what you've produced. We've not vetted these beforehand, so our reactions will be as live as live can be. I'm quite scared. Yeah, I'm pretty terrified. How many have we got? A few. One, two.

I'm not counting. Okay, so we've got a few. This is going to be a very long segment. We appreciate that it's not for everyone, but we want to hear what you guys have to bring. And this is your chance now to mock us in time. And as Ben said, we have not heard a single word of these recordings. I'm going to tell us.

Usually we've got it. We've not heard anything. So this will be very genuine. Okay. Let's say, let's have it. It's Skyler first. No, this, Skyler. Sam and Harry are smart.

I mean, that... Suck it, Ben. Suck it. Is that like an indirect roast? Because I'm not. A roast, a roast via a couple of... I laugh at it. That's my favourite roast.

Let's end the roast section. Thank you for coming, Skylie. You are a contender for Hall of Fame at that point. I appreciate you focusing on the positive of them being smart rather than the negative of me being dumb. So I'm fine with that. All right. We'll click three seconds is a good start.

Yeah. Next up is roast beef. Which is Brexit beef. I'm so confused. Harry on the late breaking podcast is a lot like Ockon's contract with Al P. He's not entirely sure how he got here, but he's pleased about it. And then there's many things.

certain in life. The sunrising each day, Ferrari messing up their strategies, and F-1 sprint races living rent-free in Ben's head. And then finally, there's only one thing bigger than the controversies which

followed the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and that is Sam's ego when Rating makes the door in 50-50. I thought that might be heading in that direction, and I'm well done well done beef

very good very good beef well done beef um norm from Texas yeah yeah I'm gonna do a little one

because I don't know what it's gonna be like oh yeah me coming to you from God's own open air oven where it's currently 102 degrees it's me Norm from Texas and I'm going to roast

the late breaking F1 podcast here we go yeah my lord we're ready Pretty much, the universe just had to answer the question of what would happen if someone looked like a thumb, talked like a Guy Ritchie movie, played at two-time speed, and that answer is Sam Sage. The other two guys sound like they openly work at a Tesco in management and, by taking the drugs, they confiscate from their lower employees. Anyway, guys, y'all are seriously the gilded, glorious Muppets of the F-1 podcast now, and keep on going. Keep breaking late.

Love y'all. Thanks, Gaw. And hold on, wait a minute. Is it? Jaboie! Jaboo-i! That's probably sent me that. That is good.

I was good. I don't know. It's worse. I'm not sure. I think you've won that. I bet. Yeah. Please, I'll take a thumb.

This one is Prince McCleary. I've just realised, I've just realised. Rye guy did two, but I've only uploaded one. No, they're both fair, one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Soundboards trumps us again. Sorry, anyway, Prince McLeary, thank you. This is, I think, the first time.

Yeah, I think so. Thank you for this being your first time. Maybe that's a bad thing, I don't know. Whatever you're ready? It was good while it lasted, soundboard. I'll have to compete with this. It's a sound more roasting us now. Yeah, it's just having a right pop.

I'm sick of how much you guys use me. I never get the appreciation. Well, we'll go on to Ryga, see if that works. Hey guys, it's Rajai. Thanks for having me on the roast. I'm going to go with nicknames this time around, just to keep it short and sweet. Sam, first of all, y'all is an expression for three or more people.

It's really easy. It's not hard to figure out. Just wanted to let you know. Yeah. Speaking of Sam, Sam 50-50 Sage, if you flip the coin heads or tails, it would come up rib cage. Ben, aka Ben, Mr. Sprint Hawking, I apologize to your cardiologist for raising your blood pressure. But hey, you've been such a good fan of F1 sprints that F1 decided to reward you with six. So have fun with that.

Cheers. And Harry. Oh, Harry, Harry, Harry. If you had the world's shortest fence, you'd be exactly like Carlos signs in. Silverstone, a pole sitter. All right, I'm the Discord, if you're still listening. Say it with me now.

You're an F1 podcast, bro. Figure it out. Thanks, Rai Guy. Rai guy's done two. We don't know what this second one really is, but it was titled Crofty roast late breaking. So,

anyway. But in order to help get this roast along, I brought along Crofty. Oh, no. crafty what do you get to say oh you don't mean that do you crafty oh crofty

oh crofty mate no need absolutely no need he's not a friend of the podcast he's not he's not coming on no come on um bobo's nuts come on good day gentlemen

good day this is nice seeing you from across the pond now when you guys first put out the idea of a roast I thought to myself, why would our generous hosts want to have a roast of themselves? Good question. They've done their hardest to bring us all together in a safe space. Doing a roast of them just abandons that thought, right?

Sure. But they did ask for it. So I think I'll get off of Harry's fence, drop an opinion or two. Now, when I first listened to this podcast, I wanted to reach across the pond and muzzle Sam, the ridiculous takes. And the laugh, I mean, the laugh. Seriously, I thought I hated Gilbert Goughreed's laugh until I heard yours. and Harry, regularly the latest of the late breakers.

Does the Merk you drive not have a clock? Seriously, it's called being on time, bro. Try it. And the only reason the fire alarm is in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion, is because of the Merck. If you couldn't afford the battery, just let the Discord know. I'm sure you'd have a lifetime supply show up. And Ben, I don't think you're getting off scot-free out of here as well.

Oh no, my well-organized friend. Now, have the rest of you guys ever met somebody that has their whole life organized down to the minute. I envision this is what Ben is. These folks, not much fun, not very interesting to be around, right? And when I hear you talking, you talk about people being

friends of the podcast without their knowledge. Sounds scarily like you have imaginary friends, Ben. And I'll share us just no gents. Love the pod. Love the community you guys have created. And cheers, fellas. Thanks, both. Cheers, bags, mate.

Oh, good. So I'd be called a thumb and told me I should be muzzle. It's going well and I'm over 60 It's going well It can afford batteries Again Oh

I'm exhausted Thanks for my friend Katrina May Yeah Good evening Evening fellas Thank you so much For giving us

The right I should say To roast you For celebrating your 200th podcast Not even on number 200 If we can even Call it a podcast

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to swear in this Godforsaken podcast. Thank you. But let's give it a go in the clean version. Now, I want to start off with your ridiculous, blasphemous, Daniel Ricardo slander. He is a god to Australians.

He is a god to Formula One fans. He is a magnificent human being. I would know I have met him. He is fantastic. And you guys come out here on your stupid little podcast. He's watched and he's never going to win a world championship and he's never going to win a race again. I can't wait until he wins 20 of them and you guys have to crawl up in your little balls, Sam with all of his little pillows around him so that his audio is okay and crawl into your little ball and say sorry Katrina.

You were correct. Daniel Ricardo is the goat. Now, I am a journalist. I talk about things and say people's names for a living and I listen to your podcast. And it's like grating on my ears. You don't even look up people's names before you decide to record a podcast. You want an example? Let's give you the last podcast we did. Alex Palo, now moving to Arrow McLaren SP in IndyCar.

And you can't even be bothered, Samuel Wade, to look up his name. Alex Palo. I am a journalist. I would not be caught dead pronouncing a name wrong on a number. national broadcast, let alone a podcast that regrettably goes around the world. You guys need to get your minds in order, and I can't say the word that I want to say, because I'm not allowed to swear. Get it together.

Thank you, Katrina. I like how she ignored Jabooie in that. Yeah, right. Maybe it's because her journalism doesn't go around the world, and Daniel Ricardo won't think anything ever from that. Oh, I'm sad. Give it a rest, son. you're not allowed to roast them back

if Ricardo does win a championship we will do a full written response to you Katrina I promise I'm glad that I'll have to write anything ever again then that's good right two well three if we can get Prince McCleary

oh yeah yeah card jam hey y'all one of them dare cowboys from across the pond here coming to put you all in your place of the old roast session but in all seriously seriousness, there's so much British bias coming off y'all's podcast. I am shocked that y'all haven't even started stumping for the queen to take over Latipi's spot with me. And granted, she's probably a better driver, if we're being honest. And I mean, it's seriously, though, the British bias is real. I mean, every single time I finish y'all's podcast, my entire house just starts reeking a fish and chips. I mean, seriously.

It's no surprise that y'all's bold predictions are wrong every week. You can't trust people that think that beans are a breakfast food, okay? And let's be real here. Sam, if you were over here doing the lottery in America, you don't even need a bunch of numbers. They could just tell you, hey, pick a number between one and two, and you still wouldn't win a million dollars because you can't get a 50-50 to save that. Seriously, though. Love you guys. Congratulations.

I have a great one. Oh, it's funny because it's true. Oh, God. Also, beans are a breakfast. Beans on toast is a wonderful delicacy. You have a fright with some beans? Right, yeah? It's just eating egg beans.

God damn. Thank you for all these. They've all been wonderful and generally not actually harsh or just really fun. Buggers. Buggers? Buggers. Buggers. Buggers.

Where are you? It's plain, but you're not there. Oh, fungus. Is that us or him? Maybe that's just his roast. Silence. It doesn't deserve words. It makes us listen to a silence.

We're going to listen to a minute of dead audio. But just in case something happens at the end. That is a great roast. Have you ever watched your film and then thought, I'll watch the credits in case something comes up at the end. In the cinema, you've got to literally the bit where the life is doing the French version, German version. There is it going to be anything

after this piece. No. I've sat here for a minute anymore. We've got 10 seconds left. I'm not hopeful. Pining Fresh is coming with a new one. Play it. Ben, you are so long-winded

that you're meandering, rambling, held the Spanish Armada at bay. Nice. Honestly, your hot takes are so much worse than the Ferrari strategy team. Sam, you laugh like a squirrel. also you pretty much are

the Danny Ricardo of your podcast so please stop the self-hate and Harry Harry Harry you're my favorite so what could I possibly say about you that hasn't already been said about Nikita Mazepin's racecraft Oh

you go to go to good work and break even later Oh Pete fresh Oh rude I'm not sure they're coming up from that No rude I may be a fan

But you're King's a Mazpin Hey guys, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about the British accent, but you can't tell me that Ben doesn't sound exactly like Christian Horner if you went to public school. Thanks. Thanks. Ben, it was the same school. How funny are you that? Are we done for that then?

Yeah. Thank you very much for everyone who put in something for this roast. We didn't know how it was going to go whatsoever, but quite honestly, some of that is. utterly hilarious. Yeah, genuinely brilliant. I thought it'd be rubbish. I said to the guys before we started this, I said, I'm really worried that we're going to have to just completely cut the roast.

He thought you were going to suck. Legitimately. Thought you would suck. And every single one of them was funny, was on a good line, well done. You did us proud. You did us proud. And we still have one more segment to go in this very special podcast. We'll be back after this short break for the quiz that celebrates two

of 100 episodes. Does this get some sort of intro theme, something or other? It's cool, it's a midnight, mate. No, I can, we can find a theme. Okay. Let's make it really grand. It's, um, like almost like the, um, if they're too hungry, a fair episode quiz.

That's that not gonna do? Is that all you've got on the same? We're not plentiful in terms of what. You got to be back. Oh, no, I got it. I've got it, got it. Here we go. Hello, I'm Clive's yours work.

And this is the 200 episodes of special quick. And back to the history of the podcast. Have ourselves it with your host, Clives and Bang. We have to remember that Clive's Pickles Work. Only makes one appearance for a year. Loads of people listening will have no idea who Clives Pickles Work is. Clive is like shy something out. and Pittle's Earth.

And nothing more needs to be set. No. He makes like a two-minute appearance for the LB Awards that we do at the end of the year. Who's the four host of this podcast? All right.

There are 12 questions that I have here and they're all multiple choice which will be, I'm sure, glad to know. Yeah, 50. 50. Even, I mean...

25, 25, 25, 25. In most instances, yes. You'll take it in turns. See how... Oh, I don't know right. Here we go. Okay. What number do you want, Harry? Start us off.

One, please. Number one. This one, that's good because this is actually about you. Oh, nice. Oh. Harry's first words on the podcast. Oh, no. In this sense.

Episode one? Episode one. What next one? It was a mini rant. Was it? A very short rant. Straight up. Did we not even say hello?

Straight up. Harry's first words were a mini rant. But who or what were you ranting about? Okay. Was it? A. Sergio Perez. B. Track limits.

C. F1 teams not understanding that it's the summer break. Or D. Grojean ruining a good weekend. What were you miffed about? You could be miffed about all of them. Yeah. Any of the above.

Still to say, I'll go for the summer break one. C. You're right. Oh, it was. I'm so sick of you guessing. wrapped answer on this podcast. Well done. Yeah, we were recording our first episode

during the summer break and things were happening. And you were like, why are things happening to the summer break? I mean, it's a fair point. Yeah. So what on? Well done. Point on the board. Thank you. What number would you like?

Oh, please, Harry, and I'll go for number two. Okay. This one's a bit more recent than that. Oh. But it's about me. Oh, good. How did I react? to the first sprint race.

Which are these quotes that I come out with? Oh God, he's made three of those up, remember. My expectations were not very high, and I've come out of it, and not a lot has changed.

Okay. It was better than I thought it would be. No, it's not that one. This is going to kill Formula One. Ooh, that's strong. Or why? Oh, it's definitely why. It's definitely number four.

Oh, it was one. Oh, that was like 50-50. There were the two hundred eight episodes. Nothing changes in 208 episodes. But also, that was very believable. What? All right. One note to Harry.

Of course it is. Where is it? Number three. Number three. Okay. We're going back to episode 47. I don't remember what that is. In episode 47, during the intro,

we put in an application to have our podcasts available where, Wilkinson's. Oh. Asda We did this Pascal Verlite's Caravan or Blockbusters

Oh what Oh wow Asra really got Asra and Wilkinson Have been home Like homesale The podcast A long caravan

Um Oh Wilkinson's It's not Wilkinson It was Blockbusters It was blockbusters Why for what reason I don't know

There were a few A few episodes Where we just had this thing like our podcasts are available wherever you can listen to them and we were working on blockbusters is because all of the formats, right? And VHS, obviously blockbusters

is a bit of VHS place. I think that's where we got it from. That's a shame that that niche in joke hasn't carried on. Yeah. Get us back to blockbusters. We are a blockbuster. We are a blockbuster.

What number do you want, son? I'll carry on, let's go forth. Okay. This one is about me and about sprint racing. Oh, for Christ. You're going to laugh. I have a day off. Why?

What did Ben's set? would replace champagne for sprint races. Is it A, urine? No. B, Stella Artois. C, J2O. Oh, we love a J2O. Or D, as the sparkling water.

I'm going to J2O. It was a J2O. I said it should be stellar artis. Of course it was. I hate quizzes so much. See, Jeter. This is that idea. All right.

Do you want to keep going in the order? Yeah, go on number five. Number five, all right. In the 2019 Elbeys, where Clives would have made an appearance. So no, conferring with Clives. His first appearance, no? I guess so, yeah.

Who won Most Underwhelming Driver of the Season? Is it A, Valtrey Bottas? B, Sam Sage. Well, that's possible. C, the FIA race director. Or D, Winnie Harlow. Why? Because all of these are legitimate answers.

That's how stupid our podcast is. Who won most underwhelming driver? Was it Sam Sage? It wasn't Sam Sage. Come on! We gave it to the race director. Nothing changed you. Oh, dear.

Good. Good. Do you want to keep going to mess it up? Let's go 12. All right. Let's go down to number 12. This one's about Harry. This was about being with sprint races.

No, that's the last sprint race. Good. Good. What phrase does Harry use when assessing whether Fernando Alonzo would return to F1 in 2021? Please, gods, please make it happen, please. Is it A, pretty damn unlikely? Probably that. B, I hope he takes Hamilton seat.

Oh, that's a hard. C, Ferrari just isn't the same. Alonzo back to the schooneria. Or D, that would be good for the F1. I'm going option A. Correct. Yes, everyone's point on the board! When Harry was asked what he thought about Fernando Lonser returning to F1 in 2021,

he said, that's pretty damn unlikely. He promptly returned. It's the damn. You're such a damn user. Really damn unlikely. Well, is it one all? It's now one all. Number six.

You're now going back to number six. This one is about seven. Oh, yes. And we're going back to episodes. 68 for this one. Oh, not 69. That's a letdown. Sorry, Bella. On episode 68, what did Sam refer to Jackie Ixas? Was it A, a serial loser? B, my favourite Belgian.

C, my arch nemesis. or B Jackie Twix They're all so plausible I was there Jackie Twix I'm not He wouldn't have said

Jackie Twix I'm going to go for Arch Nemesis It wasn't Arch Nemesis Is it my favourite Belgian It was Come on It was my favourite Belgian

Jackie Twix is brilliant then well done I'm sorry I try to make a believable I hate that that's believable Any number from 7 to 11 I'll go 11 All right

In episode In episode 86 What did Sam Call Harry in his intro Is it A Barry chuckle Brits my finger out B Gary Linnaker

possible C Charlie Chaplin Oh the silent man Or D Donald Trump Oh I'm going Barry Cattle I really wish it was It isn't

It was Donald Trump Why? Why? What did I say? I think we were around election time possibly And you basically said That you two were

The Joe Biden And Donald Trump Of the F1 Podcasting world to which you thought you were the Biden. I mean, we're both rubbish, so... For a bonus point, what was Harry's response to being called Donald Trump? I don't know.

He just said, fake news. Fake news. I don't think Trump would get a shout out on the special one. There you go. Fake news. All right, we're... That would be in a 500-10 episode special. Oh, man.

Still. one all where are we two we're at um we're at harry number seven do you want number seven yeah okay

I oh no we went 11 months without doing an episode between episode five and six how did we address this in episode six

is it A we were at a Lady Gaga concert oh falls a one guys this month. Is it B,

we bowed down to the demands of fans? Oh, is it C, we broke so late

we were 11 months late. Or is it D, we didn't address it. Oh, could be the signora.

I feel like we didn't address it. We didn't touch it. Not one mention. No, 11 years. A year,

a year, a bit of a year. Yeah, we're back. Hello. That's a day. Hang out. We're here twice a week every week for two years.

Bloody hell. So that's correct. I was convinced it was a lady younger, I think. We have used that a couple of times. So, yeah. Oh, man. I hate you got that right. Number 10, please, then.

Number 10. What episode did we first use our current intro music? Oh, I don't know. Is it A, episode 6? No. B, episode 44. No. C, episode 100.

or D episode 125 No there is one of them opposed to all of them What was it Was it 44

Did you say as one of the options Yeah that was the second And 100 and 100 120 125 years Oh no 100 I'm gonna go

A hundred A bit earlier than that Shock 44 Shock Lewis Hamilton Hashto blessed It's longer than I thought

It was Yeah I've really thought What were we doing What are we doing? That's that the year That's our old one I have to go back and listen. But yeah, that was the first time.

I love our UK music. I rock out to that every single time. No, that's the old one. Yeah, no. Bam-bang! It's great. Okay, we've got two more, and it's two-one. So, Harry, if you get this one right, you win.

Well, it's no shot for Harry will win the special episode quiz. What are the numbers left? So you've got number eight or number nine. Now, one of these two, you actually only. get three options rather than four. Why? Thank you. It's what I want.

My quiz. So, you know, pick wisely. D-W-I-W. Eight. That's the one way you've got four options. Sorry, I'll still get it around. Okay. On episode five.

Oh, God. We discussed, do you remember, Perez's crash with Sorokkin at Singapore? Which was it, ram him off the road? Yeah. Oh, remember that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What did we think regarding a race ban? What did we? Did Sam say yes, it should be a race ban, but the two of us said no. Was it me who said yes, it should be a race ban, but both of you said no? Did we all say no? Or did me and Sam say no and Harry sat on the fence? Oh, that last one's real careful. I mean, I do sit on the fence quite a lot.

You're a poll sister, as makes you get in the roast. Me and Carlos. I had to be honest, I forgot on the other three. D? No, you didn't sit on the fence on this one. It's definitely me. It's definitely me. It said banning.

Yeah. Sam said Ray's ban. The two of us said no. Why do we never get to choose the questions? You have actually... Harry's right. I know. Ridiculous.

But you still have a chance to draw if you get this last one right. I don't have to choose out of three, so I would definitely get it wrong. All right. Which of us used to pronounce Ocon, Ocon. Oh no. Is it Harry, Ben or Sam? It's Harry. It's me, isn't it? You used to say O'Con?

Sma O'Con. Yeah. Oh, well, I know I really did pronounce a lot of things right now. I'm going to hesitantly call Harry the winner. But in reality, we've just said 12. questions regarding our own podcast and 75% of them were wrong. Good. Good. You collectively got nine out of 12 wrong. I don't, I don't really like to go back and listen. Well, they were all pretty obscure things. No, they were. That was great. I always

really enjoy your made-up answers because I often feel like they're very real and that says to me that our podcast is atrocious and ridiculous. Should we leave it there? I think we should. I mean, It's midnight. Two minutes to midnight here in the UK. So you can't say we're not committed. We're here producing content into the late hours of the day. Thank you very much for joining us on this very special and weird episode. I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and the roast and the quiz that we just did.

Any feedback is of course always very welcome. Would you like to get us out of this, some? Oh, I forgot. I have to do that. You don't have to if you don't want to. You don't want to. I mean, thank you again. All your roasts as well were brilliant.

they were funny. Sorry if it didn't get played or it didn't work. Sometimes this happened. I think into the Q&A part as well. The questions were really, really good, really fun, really interesting. And Ben, thank you for it to you for it to get a lot of effort going back through our stupid history. If you
