dog shit human shit would they pick it up for us i doubt it but you might find out and i don't know about that you have the answer uh they can't they don't have opposable thumbs. They might eat it, though. I saw a video recently of a dog picking up his own shit. How? Oh, yeah. He dropped the shovel over there. Yeah, they had like a pan.

He didn't pick it up. He just licked it in there. That's like if your dog brought your tongs. You go, I saw a video of a dog cooking. Like, it helped out. I'm not saying it's not remarkable. He put it into the little dustbin. He put the dustbin right next to it.

He didn't get the other bin. No, he shoveled it in. He flipped it in the dustbin. And then picked up the dustbin and carried it away. I stopped watching after the first bit. I want to know how this movie ends. That's pretty good. Yeah.

Well. I was going to tell Kelly a story. So many, many years ago, I want to say 25 years ago, and I was living in Perth with my friend Andrew. I had a girl that I was hooking up with, you know, and she was quite vocal in bed, right? She orgasmed quite loudly. Not knocking her.

Happy to hear it. Happy to hear it. Compliments of the show. Yeah, no no no i uh thank you you're welcome so anyway so so we're in bed and and uh and she was dirty talking screaming this you know big orgasm and then she laid down afterwards and and uh two in the morning and she was like oh i'm sorry i was so loud i'm sorry so she goes she goes do you think andrew heard i said no he's a sleepy heavy sleeper he hasn't heard anything don't worry about it don't worry about it she goes oh i hope he hasn't heard anything i said he didn't hear anything all right and i went good night and she went good night then goodnight.

Not only did he hear it, he can hear every conversation. We were talking very loudly. Goodnight. The way he said goodnight. Brilliant. Oh, fuck it. It's one of those things that when I'm down,

I think about it. Just have a little smile. Did she laugh? Oh yeah. Everyone laughed. Yeah. Everyone laughed. No one was upset.

But everyone, good night. That was such a nice way to say, yeah, I heard everything. It's just perfect. The comedic timing, the choice of words, everything. Good work, Andrew. What's he up to now? He's a professional opera singer. Oh.

Oh. Wasted talent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a professional opera singer. He's one of the best, Andrew Moran. he's one of the best Andrew Moran he's one of the best where does he sing he sings for the

You are going to be this week in Victoria, Canada. Victoria. Save on Foods. Oh, I didn't know. Is she still going to be there?

Oh, it's a different place. We're going to be inside a girl called Victoria. You're going to be inside the Save on Foods memorial site. Oh, she's a big girl. The Save on Foods. The diet's not great. She doesn't buy the high quality food. She's always saving on foods.

And then you're going to be in Seattle the next day. We added a show in Seattle. One show sold out. The other one still got tickets. September 24th, Portland, Oregon. Late show. Keller Auditorium. And then October 7th and 8th

you'll be in St. Louis and Nashville. St. Louis and Nashville. And what's happening in Nashville, Jack? I'll be opening with my band, the Doohickeys. Woohoo! Our single has dropped. When does this come out? It's out already. Go to Spotify, Doohickeys. It's called I Wish My Truck Was Bigger.ember 20th i wish my truck was bigger that's not his own version of

the song yeah he had to sing on the drop it was a good song but i like i said what song are you gonna sing jackie guys i'm gonna sing a song called i wish my truck was bigger and i was like couldn't get it up the hill. I wish my truck was bigger. And I was like, I wasn't far off. Not really, yeah. Pretty close. You're a country star. I've set Jack a mission to write a song called

Please Tell Me You're Sleeping. And it's the same melody. Yeah. Please tell me you're sleeping. The premise is he goes to visit an elderly relative. They're dead on the couch. But he romantically in a country way says, please tell me you're sleeping. The premise is he goes to visit an elderly relative. They're dead on the couch. But he romantically in a country way says, please tell me you're sleeping.

I hope you're not dead. I can't bear to leave. Please tell me you're sleeping. Before I rob and start the thief. But boom, country radio. Yeah. Water on the headlights. It's another one. Water on the headlights it's another one water on the headlights is a good water and headlights was a bruce springsteen song i wrote for

mercy but it could also be a country song bruce is like country adjacent for crying you know just water on the headlight i don't know what else you're at the rest yeah it doesn't have those little wipers remember those headlights that had wipers yeah what cars had those they did nothing no that's where I came up with it we were

it was when it was when I was on an episode of Legit and we had to walk a couple blocks to where we ate lunch from the house and I was

I was walking with Brad Williams I think Lachlan was just a bunch of and there was we saw one of those cars that had windshield wipers on the headlights and I was like

what the fuck is that it's like when you got water in the headlights and then my head I was like it's like? It's like when you got water in the headlights. And then my head was like, it's like, that's what you describe. You got water in the headlights. Even the wipers on the rear window, they're pointless. Not if you have a flat rear window, like you have an SUV.

I've had SUVs with them. I never put that wiper on. What about if you're in a chase and you have to go backwards really fast? Yeah. Wow. No, no. I actually never thought of that. It's funny you should ask because I've been in that exact situation. Whoa.

And I outdid myself in every way. Just say Beastie Boys. When I say outdid myself, I'd only done it the once. So that was my personal best. I like that Kelly's doing a callback. That's not going to make sense. Yeah. They're going to have to get on the Patreon if they want to know what

just say Beastie Boys means. Yeah, Beastie they're going to have to get on the Patreon if they want to know what Just Say Beastie Boys means. Yeah, Beastie Boys, man. Okay, I guess you're right. This is our soft plug for Patreon. It's an argument under for me, apparently. Jim just said Beastie Boys. Good point.

It came from Jack Stiles, a parody country music band. Yeah, they're going to be in Nashville. And I said, if I did a guy, we're going to be in Nashville. They're going to if I did a... We're going to be in Nashville. They're going to be in Nashville dressed as country people

in front of country people. Wait, wait, wait. We can't tell what the joke was. We're plugging the Patreon. They have to go to Patreon to figure out what the story was. Don't tell them here. The answer's Beastie Boys.

Five across. New York Times puzzle. So you can find out at patreon.com slash idcat and follow us on Instagram at idcatpodcast. We talk about other things. We got merch. We got merch. We on Instagram at idcatpodcast. We talk about other things. We got merch.

We got merch. I don't know about that. A very funny story about a dog in the Patreon. Oh, my God. Most depressing Patreon ever. You're going to cry. You're going to cry. You're going to cry.

Please tell me you're sleeping. And listen to my new podcast, The Merman Podcast with Dave Williamson. Woo. Yeah. Luis said it to that one too. Yep. And you shoot it at his house.

Yeah, we shoot it at his house. Yeah. And he shits at his house. I haven't shit there yet. It'll be coming. Don't worry. There'll be a time when I shit there. I haven't shit there yet.

It's brewing. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's welcome our guests to the show after these ad breaks. Now, before these ad breaks happen, just get your wallets out, get your credit cards ready. Because this is going to be shit you want.

Get the wallets out now. Hey. Okay. Please welcome our guests, Alanis King, Elizabeth Blackstock, and Nolan Sykes. Hello, everyone. Now it's time to play. Yes, though. Yes, though. Now it's time to play. Yes, though.

Yes, though. I want to play this game. Going to guess some questions. Wasn't quite at all. Yeah. That's how I do it. All right. So it's hard because I know Elizabeth is very clearly into samurai culture.

She's all about samurai swords. And you know what? I wouldn't trust Elizabeth because about eight of those swords aren't on the rack. So where are they right now? Where are the swords, Elizabeth? She's got them behind her back like bloody Donatello or whoever had the swords. Yeah. I know Donatello had a stick.

Wait, are we allowed to talk now? No. I have 11 machetes. up i know don't tell her how to stick wait are we are we allowed to talk now because i i have i have 11 machetes and actually before we logged on to this she told me to get the machetes so that i would have the machetes in the background because she didn't want to be the only one with swords um i don't have the machetes in the background but i do have 11 machetes that were once used by ch Angel. Oh, wow. Okay, because I was going to guess that you guys were from the Middle East justice system and you're cutting off hands and shit.

Okay, all right. What was Chris Angel using the machetes for? He's a magic trick. I know, but what magic? He's doing magic with the machetes. He's doing a lot of stuff on stage. He has fights on stage during the show. He swallows razor blades and shoves a camera down his mouth.

I've seen it all. So multi-talented. That's exactly how the show starts. Wow, that's amazing. He's got this down. Chris Angel's as dumb as me, right? I'll tell you why. Because what he does is he puts the promo pictures in the lobby

are all of him looking at his best they're all like him with abs and all that type of stuff and then you see him live and it's not as abby right and if you come and see my show there's more jowls on stage than in the poster in the foyer and i'm like why don't i just get really fat for a picture and then when they come out they'll be happy and they'll go hey he's looking all right yeah you always starve yourself before those. I always look excellent in the foyer and disappointing on stage. Not saying Chris,

I feel like you're a big Chris Angel fan. Is the topic, is it magic? Are we about to talk about magic? No. No, we're not. Are you like magician's assistants? Have you been cut in half? No. I would let Chris Angel cut me in half, but he has not asked me to do that yet so

i'll tell you i don't know if he's doing that well because i once saw him on a southwest flight going to vegas with me and i was like like i didn't want people seeing me on the southwest flight and i was like fucking hell chris step it up he was with his lovely family they were all there but they were on southwest with the rest of us. The samurais and machetes are misdirect. You're meant to be fucking magic, mate. You shouldn't be on a Southwest flight. You should be able to just get there. Just transport.

You should be able to get to Vegas like that. Or at least turn it into a private jet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, like wave something and we've all got champagne or something. Make it nice. Okay, so, all right. So are you all friends? Yes.

I was going to help you guess what they're here to talk about. Because they might be separate people that you've booked separately that I'm going to see if they're a unit. I would never do that. Have you all known each other for over six years? Elizabeth and I have. Nolan and Elizabeth and I have known each other for a couple of years. Yeah.

So Nolan was the last piece in for a couple of years. Yeah. So Nolan was the last piece in the puzzle. He is. Yeah. He's the last one. Was Nolan the type of bloke you just started hanging out with you two until you couldn't get rid of him? Yeah, actually that's exactly what happened.

Oh, no, no. That's it. Yeah. Look, I'm going to sit on many roofs. If I choose to sit on this one,

what big deal is it? All right. So I. Yeah, look, I'm going to sit on many roofs. If I choose to sit on this one, what big deal is it? All right, so I'm like, okay, is it got to do with the entertainment world? No, not really, no. Has it got to do with true crime? I know when these three people get together, a podcast, true crime is always going to be brought up. No, contrary to the machetes, no.

You want a hint? Not really. I reckon I'll get it. We got no clock on this baby. Okay, keep going. Give me one. It is something that is only now becoming more popular in the United States, I would say.

It's very popular in the rest of the world. But it's only now starting to... Soccer! No. Soccer's getting more popular. That is correct. Yeah, but that's not what we're talking about. You can ask more questions based on that. Is it sport related?

Yes. All right. And it's a sport that is more popular now in America and it was more popular overseas than it was. We've already done cricket. And I'm more of a specialist than you three. not already done cricket. And I wouldn't like, I'm more of a specialist than you three. I already know that.

It's not as traditional as it is. I've already done cricket. Is it, is it, is it, is it gaming? Is it like Call of Duty or something like that? Cause that's like a thing. No.

They are actually, I believe they're all based where we were doing a show and an event for this was going on. Does that help you at all? Elizabeth and Alanis are in Texas. We are in Texas. What do you mean? I was never doing a show in Texas.

They're in Texas and you've never done a comedy show in Texas. I've done a stand-up show, not a TV show. We were doing a comedy show in Texas, an opening for you, and we were there, and while we were there, this event was going on there, and yeah. Oh, you're pro-life folk.

I got it. I got COVID when we were there. I didn't keep up with all your ailments. If I didn't keep up with all your ailments. I wouldn't have any memory left in my own life. We went to a party.

We went to a party. We told a whole lot of strangers about food poisoning you had yesterday. We went to a party for this event that was there in Texas. Oh, Formula One. There you go. Yeah, I know Formula One. I haven't followed Formula One for a very long time, but when I lived in Australia as a kid and when I lived

in Britain, I used to follow it. Yeah, okay. All right. Alanis King, Elizabeth Blackstock, and Nolan Sykes are the co-hosts of Donut Media's new F1 podcast, Donut Racing Show. You may know Alanis or Elizabeth from their work as motor journalists across many different publications or Nolan from

Donut Media's YouTube channel or automotive history podcast, Past Gas. So please welcome to the podcast. Thanks for being here. I don't know if there's any other background you want to give us. How did y'all get into this? I got into motorsports because I got free tickets to a NASCAR race when I was 12 and I ended up going. I thought it was the dumbest thing in the world. And then they ran the race and I was like, that's not the dumbest thing in the world. I want to do that with my life. So here I am. What?

NASCAR's not the dumbest thing in the world? No, it's actually, surprisingly, it is somehow not. Like it's close, but. It's the weakest of all the car racing though, surely. Well, sure. We'll go with that. We'll go with that. We'll go with that. I like it.

Just a circle round and round and round. That's it. I've always had problems with that it's taken Americans so long to get into Formula 1 because you have your Indy, your Apples and all that type of stuff. You have cars that are so close. It always feels like Americans push against. And we love car racing.

You love car racing. Why wouldn't you want to be in the most elite international competition there is and race yourself against the world but it's always like Dale Hart Jr. sponsored by 76 this is like a personal attack

we don't have to get personal this fast. Like we can wait. All right. All right. I know what the categories are going to be. One of them is going to be, I want you to Michael Schumacher. It's going to be the bottom.

I don't even have me. I have categories, but they're not even written in here. No one knows. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Anyone else you would, do you want to talk about how you got into a, to formula one? I grew up in Michigan. So my whole family was in the auto industry and we watched NASCAR. But I stopped liking it because it's not cool to like what your family likes. But I got obsessed with Chris Hemsworth when I was in high school. And a 2013 Rush came out and Chris Hemsworth was in it.

And I went to see a car movie with Chris Hemsworth because it was the only thing my dad and I could agree on. And I've been obsessed ever since. I used to call him Rat all the time. You know Chris. No, you know Liam. I've met Chris. I've met Liam.

Look, there's only about five Australians. We all know each other. Yeah, Australian men, they are top notch. You are right to have these feelings. The elite we are. And Nolan, you're into the Hemsworth style? Oh, yeah. Big time Liam fan for sure.

Work as a lookalike? Yeah. A lot of kinship there. Yeah. Growing up super into just cars and motorsport and everything. A lot of kinship there. Yeah, growing up, super into just cars and motorsport and everything. And then, you know, Formula One was, you know, that was the European sport. It's kind of on the boundary of my awareness until, I don't know, about 10 years ago or so I started getting into it. And it just really fell into it.

It's the only sport I care about. I haven't watched, I used to watch it back, since i've moved to america i have not watched it and i've only watched a couple episodes of the netflix thing um but i was the whole etin center type of era um michael schumacher uh nigel manson was it was a great driver anyway but let's see i don't know anything about i'm just asking you a question, so I'm going to learn. But I'm going to ask Jim a series of questions about Formula 1, and after he's done answering them, you guys are going to grade him on his accuracy,

zero through 10, 10 being the best. Kelly's going to grade him on confidence. I'm going to grade him on et cetera. Yeah, I'm not going to do well. Yeah, okay. We'll add all the scores together. So confidence is a two. Yeah, okay.

Pre-grade him. We'll add all the scores together. So confidence is a two. Pregrade him. We'll add all the scores together. If you score 21 through 30, it's going to be the like that. And then like 11 through 20. That's the noise that Forrest has when he's making a piss. I thought he was just having a stroke. Okay, okay. And then 11 through 20 is going to be like

11 through 20 is going to be noise that's just your grunting yeah is that going into the pits 10 through 20 is going to be Luis's car however that sounds oh shit it's a clown car noise it's terrible his car did not start this morning what is formula one car noise. It's terrible. His car did not start this morning.

What is Formula One? F1 racing. Formula One is the fastest cars that can go around a track. It's cars that are engineered. Each team will be a brand of car, except for things like Red Bull, which is an anomaly. You'll have Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari,

and they will all try to make the fastest vehicle they can make, and then they will race them. So it comes down to design. It comes down to driver. It comes down. It's a real team sport as well. The team is the pit crew and the people and the engineers. But do you think you can make any car?

I don't know anything about it. You can make any car you want. You can just make a fucking sign-off car. I believe it's, yeah, I believe it's like you have to make the fastest car possible and then just see what you can do. There's no rules? You can just do whatever you want? I'm going to say yes.

I know that there was problems in those front, the front fins where they were putting different ripples in recently and then people were saying, oh, that ripped off my one. That's the same as my one. There's been a big debate with that. But for the longest time, like Ferrari were the best, and now Red Bull seemed to have a thing, and Mercedes seemed to have a thing.

So, yeah, it's different manufacturers wanting to say that they have the best engineers and the best car. Okay. When was the first F1 race? Oh, okay. So let's say when the car was invented versus the thing, it would have been something slow. I went to the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart and I saw their first F1 car.

I'm trying to picture what year that would be. And I would say 1931 okay before the second world war when they were still making cars and not building parts what does grand prix mean in english uh grand pricks it's what uh it's a big penis yep yep how many how many grand Prixs are in a season? Everyone gets one. Well, the boys. Yeah. How many in a season? Okay, well, here's something you don't know. The first one's always in Australia.

I don't know anything. Yeah, I know, but here you go. First one's always in Australia. Used to be in Adelaide. Now it's in Melbourne, which I feel sad for Adelaide because that town literally has nothing else going on, and that was the one thing they had. Then Melbourne, which has lots of shit going on, just nicked it.

So, to an America. He's counting, everybody. I appreciate the counting. Like, I don't even know if there are actual races in his head. No, no, no. It looks really convincing. So, I don't even know if there are actual races in his head. Like, he's just – No, no, no, I really am. It looks really convincing. So, I think it's great.

I can think of 19. You usually go – I can think of 19. How many hours does a typical race last? Oh, long. I want to say a typical race is six hours. How many drivers on a team? Each team.

Oh, okay. So two or three. I'm going to say two. How many cars drive at one time? You'd have to go out and look out the window and count forever, man. In the race specifically. Oh, in the race. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the race, specifically. Oh, in the race. In the race.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the race. Not in LA. Let's say two. The thing would be an even number. 22. Okay. My computer's about to die.

I don't know why. How does an F... Because you didn't charge it. I know I did. For some reason, battery's done. How does an F1 team work in comparison to other team sports? What do you mean in comparison to other team sports? Okay, well, let's start with soccer.

It's vastly different. It's a team sport. Don't kick a ball. Explain how it works as a team sport. How about that? It works as a team sport because you have the pit crew and you have all the people who are inside who are speaking to the driver. No, but I mean like there's other drivers on your team.

How does that work? Oh, well, you can win and the other driver can't win. So you're on the same team as another bloke, but quintessentially you want to beat that bloke as well. But then like the actual team as such gets points for second, third, right down to I think about seventh position. They all get given some points. Okay.

Pit stops. All right. Just talk about this. What happens during a pit stop how many are allowed and how long does it usually last and are they mandatory like just oh there's a lot of questions well i'll keep going i don't think they're mandatory but you wouldn't have enough fuel to get through the race without having a pit stop okay um the pit stops can be mostly for The pit stops can be mostly for repairs,

but a most common pit stop is to fuel up and to change the tires. I've seen them, fucking 12 seconds. You know what I mean? Is there a limit to how many are allowed? I don't believe. Probably there has to be because otherwise, why would you ask? I'm going to say. Again, I don't know anything about F1. I'm going to say there's maybe four or something like that.

I don't believe you can, like, if you can wheel in a car on fire, you can repair it over whole things. And if it loses, like, the spoiler or something like that, I don't think that's a repair but little tiny repairs they can they can they can do how fast do f1 cars go on the like i know they can go faster than this but they regularly get over 300 miles an hour you know in a race okay um f1 introduced on the straight F1 introduced a flip-flop-shaped safety bar on top of its cars a few years ago to protect drivers' heads in crashes.

Yes, they did. How much weight can this bar hold? Oh, tons. Like loads of weight. Loads? Yeah, this is- Give me a number. 20 pounds?

No, more than that. I'm going to say 10 tons. What country is the best at racing in this sport? F1. What, who's won the most races? Sure. See, that's a bit of a dodgy. Schumacher, and he

was the best. He was German. So there's an argument for the germans the brits have won a bit now lewis hamilton i'm gonna say oh christ uh i'm gonna say the italians fuck it the italians why are drivers weighed after the race the Italians, fuck it. The Italians.

Why are drivers weighed after the race? Um, uh, probably to see how many body fluids they lost, like how much sweat they lost. Why would they do that? Um, because every, like a horse race,

they probably have to be weighed in, but I've heard that that's a load of bullshit about, see, whenever you see a driver and they're always little fellas, right. And it's, it's because, oh,

it's because they keep the car light. I've heard it's because if you're bigger, you give up at go-karting at a younger age because you can't win the races because that's when the weight actually does come into play. I always say that when I go-kart. If you're a fat fuck go-karting, even if you've got the skills, even if you've got the skills, you'll go, fuck this, I'm always coming third.

Yeah, that's what I say. Where the little kids keep winning the races, so they're encouraged to keep going back. But, like, these cars are so powerful, it wouldn't give a fuck whether you're 120 or 170 pounds. That wouldn't be the end of the day for them. What is overtaking? It's the same as when you do it on the freeway, man.

There's a car here, right? You overtake it like that. So when is it forbidden? Ah, there would be certain turns you could it's it's it's forbidden if if you're deemed to be doing something dangerous that's going to put the other driver's life in peril i guess they would have some rules on it i i don't know what is drs uh derrick rose sex what is that he's a basketball player how does that have to do with F1 they watch it while they're driving

yeah yeah he fucks good and it's gotten through the F1 community the basketball player the point guard yeah oh okay

he fucks good what is dirty air it's the stuff that's left after that what is how hot is the cockpit to that. What is how hot is the cockpit? Depends whether I'm wearing jeans or not.

I think the cockpit, if we're going to talk in stupid American temperatures, I would say It's F1, so maybe, I don't know. Yeah, I would say 42 degrees Celsius. Okay.

What is the speed trap? The speed trap. The speed trap. Is that like an off ramp? I think I meant to get rid of this question. Or is it all the pebbles and stuff on the side? I don't know. I've played the video.

Is that what cops do on the highway? Yes. What do F1 drivers wear under their suits? and stuff on the side. I don't know. I've played the video. Is that what cops do on the highway? Yes. What do F1 drivers wear under their suits? Lingerie. What do you mean under this? Oh, they're fire repellent. Fire repellent gel.

Do they pee in their suits or their cars? I believe they do, yeah. Like this? Yeah, long race. Fuck it. Why do the F1 drivers take their steering wheels after a crash? So they can get in and out of the vehicle. They have to pull the wheel out so it's easier to get out. Like after a crash, though, I'm saying.

You want to get out. Okay. How much? Also, I bet you there'd be a bit of black box going on with the wheel. Here's the last question. How much do F1 teams spend to win the title each year? Oh, fuck. Lots of money. I would

say it's as expensive as earning a major league football team or something like that. There's big money in this sport. I'd say a billion dollars a year. A billion. Yeah. Okay. All right. Alanis, Elizabeth, Elizabeth Nolan how did Jim do on his

knowledge of f1 0 through 10 10 is the best honestly like I don't know if we're getting together the minds over here and deciding but I'm gonna give him like an eight or a nine considering that it's been a while like I think he did I think he did pretty well for not watching in a long time I'm going up there but Elizabeth says six. I think six specifically for the there's not that many rules

there's not that many rules the car at the beginning yeah that one yeah okay have you seen Herbie the fucking love bug he raced anybody. And nobody ever went, that's a fucking Volkswagen Beetle. I agree. They just let him race.

And he put in a bloody good show. Didn't need people like you mocking him. Nolan, you agree? We got an eight and a six. I'm going to go. Yeah, Jim, I'm very impressed with your knowledge. It seems to be based on some dated information, however. So I'm going to say

seven. That's an average of seven. I'll take dated information. What does he get, Kelly? I pre-graded him on confidence, so I gave him a two. But I stepped up a bit. I got better. A nine. Okay. It's a moving grade, man. It's a nine, yeah. I'll give you a 25 and et cetera.

All right. There you go. Okay. All right. What is Formula One? What is Formula One, guys? Anyone, three of you want to take that field? I personally don't know.

I'm just here. Elizabeth, Nolan, what's up? As Jim said, Formula One is a competition between the fat some of the biggest manufacturers and otherwise uh teams like red bull who are not necessarily manufacturers but um they build the fastest car they can like jim said but it is according to a extremely stringent rule book the quote formula of formula one these are the yeah these are the rules that they are building these cars to like it has to have four wheels like this is just as if that four wheels can't be a motorbike but what's tying them back of this car like it looks like they've gone fucking balls

to the wall to make it fast yeah that makes sense though there's a formula what could they put on there to make it even faster that are rules stopping it from doing it would probably be taking stuff off actually like aerodynamics i would say to uh you know free up drag make them even more aerodynamic uh and probably wait for uh safety measures as well I would probably imagine take that pesky material out and the car would probably go a little faster. So since in Jim's world, we have no rules in Formula One, I actually looked up the actual rules of Formula One and sporting regulations and technical regulations

combined are 300 pages. And that's just sporting and technical. We know there's rules like you have to stay on the track if you go off the track. You have to stay on the track, yeah. If you go off the track, you get a time penalty. Good sportsmanship. You get a time penalty if you slip off the track for too much, right?

I know about that. I played the video game. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That was impressive. Is that rule? Yeah, I mean, you're looking at me. One person per car, another rule.

I would think there'd be weight rules and stuff like that. Have to have a seatbelt. Rule. Yeah. This is good. Did you write the book? Why does everybody, like you said it, Jim said it, the Red Bull, like is Red Bull like the pariah of the formula?

Are the people down on them? Red Bull's just a drink. It gives you wings. No, I know what it is. And they're kicking ass, Red Bull. They're one of the top teams. Are you drinking a Red Bull? You're drinking a Red Bull's just a drink. It gives you wings. No, I know what it is. And they're kicking ass, Red Bull. They're one of the top teams. Are you drinking at Red Bull? You're drinking at Red Bull.

Yeah, we're sponsored by Red Bull. I am. I couldn't drink my Ferrari in the driveway. Yeah, you can't do that. Oh, my goodness. Are they looked down upon in Formula One? Like they're like the new money kind of thing? No.

They came in with a lot of money, and they won pretty quickly after they came in in the early 2000s. It was 2005, I believe. So 2004, 2005, Red Bull bought a team and a track. And they basically brought this track back onto the Formula One calendar. It's called Red Bull Ring. And they also bought this team. And then they bought a junior team to bring drivers up through a junior team

to their main team. And they, like, swap drivers back and forth between the teams. And it's, like, it's really petty. And there's a lot of drama there. I love it personally. It's great. Okay. Yeah.

Isn't Red Bull Ring what you call your asshole, Jim? Yeah, Red Bull Ring. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. And there's other teams. Dr. Pepper. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. And there's other teams. Dr. Pepper. Yeah. The Pepper Boys, they call them.

Yeah, that's it. And number 23. The Michelada. That's, yeah. Dr. Pepper number 23 is actually a NASCAR thing. Yeah, that's a real thing. Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's ridiculous.

Good job. That's awesome. Does Jimmy Buffett have a team? Mar saying. It's ridiculous. Good job. That's awesome. Does Jimmy Buffett have a team? Margarita? Not yet. I wish. In the works. Next.

So when did it start? When was the first race? How did this come about? Formula One? There are two answers to this question. Two answers to this. Yay, Elizabeth. How do you know?

You guys get one each thing. You seem to be in all in double notes. Elizabeth, you get the first one, and I'll pick up the second one. All right. So the first one was 1946. After the war. I went before the war. After the war.

Bloody hell. It was the post-World War II, and they had designed Formula One, and that was the first time they actually implemented the rule set, but it wasn't actually – it didn't count toward a world championship. So it's technically not a Formula One race, but it also is a Formula One race. Yeah. So Formula One, we wrote a book about Formula One. We wrote a book about this weird sponsor with the Haas Formula One team. And right at the beginning of the book, we kind of say how Formula One started. And it was born from pre-war Grand Prix racing. But the first official race in the books was a British Grand Prix in 1950.

It was May of 1950. And 120,000 people were there. Whoa. Whoa. Wow. That had that fan figure right off the top of the head. Yeah. Because it's literally, I've read our book.

Was that at Silverstone? Yeah, it was. Yeah, and so I've read our book so many times that I have that line literally memorized. I can say it from memory. Forrest wouldn't even give me a wink when I went Silverstone. You would have never known Silverstone in all your life. My computer's dying.

I'm just trying to work. I've got my phone. I got another thing here. Jim, to your point about pre-war racing, there was a lot of motorsport activity before the war. Guys like Enzo Ferrari raced cars on the road. It would shut down public roads. There was a major race called the millimiglia guys would just go as fast as possible mostly on unpaved roads in their cars a lot of guys died that was

a huge trend even through formula one history as well so basically as soon as cars were invented people were racing them do you guys know that i always love the the lamborghini uh spite story how lamborghinis came about you know that one yeah oh yeah you know that one tell us okay so enzo ferrari who invented the ferrari it was it was in italy the greatest maker of sports cars going right wonderful and uh lamborghini made the top tractors and they still do to this day the best track tractors yep the lamborghini tractor is still your number one. That's the Rolls Royce of tractors is your Lamborghini tractor. Ferrari's a tractor. Farmers have too much money.

Yeah. So this guy, he made the best tractors. And he made all his money with tractors. And he thought, oh, I'll treat myself to a sports car. And he went off. And I'll do the voice and the hands and everything because it's, Italians is not racist. And, and he went up

and he went, I would like a Dubai. This is what he said. He goes, I would like a Dubai. I've made so much money for my tractors. You know me.

That's Italian? I do tractor money. Oh, that's gotta go. No, that's the thing. What accent is that? It's,

it's, it's, I've lived in Europe. Have you? This is what Lambo says. This is what Lambo sounds like. No, no, no. He goes like this. And then Enzo Ferrari is like,

oh, here comes the tractor man. Wow. You want to buy a Ferrari, my friend? And then he's like this. Yes, I would like to buy. I would like to buy a Ferrari with my tractor money. And he's like, oh, okay. If you think you can, you make your shitty tractors.

And then like Lamborghini tractor, which is his full name. He went, hey, Enzo, why don't you go fuck yourself? Right. He turned real Australian at that moment. Real Australian. He went, Enzo, go fuck yourself. And then he went off to make a car that was more special and more expensive and more luxurious.

I heard it was a safety thing. He wanted the cars to be safer. The Lamborghini is a spite vehicle. Really? Ah. Completely agree. Ferruccio Lamborghini had a sport vehicle. Really? Huh. It was because he, Ferruccio Lamborghini had a specific complaint

about the clutch and transmission in the Ferrari. And he sent his complaint to Enzo Ferrari and Enzo kind of blew him off, said, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Do the voice. I don't do accents. You don't know. Yeah, you don't know. Clatchy, clatchy, clatchy. And yeah, Lamborghini went on his merry way, made his own sports car. That's awesome. And the rivalry.

They still make the tractors. They still make the tractors. Yeah, because he wouldn't know about clutches. I mean, tractors have clutches, so he didn't listen to them. Awesome. Yeah. What does Grand Prix mean in English? I'm assuming not big penis.

Elizabeth. Grand Prize. Grand Prize. Grand Prize. It was specifically given to events sanctioned by the Automobile Club of France that were run on closed course circuits and not on open roads. So when they transferred from just like the balls out, go as fast as you can down country roads in the middle of nowhere to you can only go in this loop that was kind of when they started to do grand prize that was for you know international drivers and there was usually a lot of money involved and then how many grand sorry go ahead i was gonna say i'm glad liz knew what that meant because i took Spanish in high school, not French.

Incredible. How many Grand Prix's are in a season? Jim said 19. There's always one in Australia. You were very close. There's typically about 19 to 20. This year there was supposed to be 23. A little close. That's the answer.

You were pretty close. There's typically 19 to 20. This year there was supposed to be 23. Little close. That's the answer. You were pretty close. There's typically 19 to 20. This year, there was supposed to be 23, and they actually took the Russian Grand Prix off of the calendar after the invasion of Ukraine. So now there's 23. Oh, is that why? I was wondering why. Yeah, that's why.

In case we didn't know. In case we didn't know. Are there any races, are all the races just called Grand Prix's or do they have other races that are just like this is a regular race? All Grand Prix. No, it's all part of the same thing. It's just like everything's like top of the line. Okay.

Everything's the Grand Prize. Yeah. And how many hours does a typical race last? Jim said six hours. You were really off on this one. Two. Two. Not the way I drive.

Yeah, in that race I was in a Lamborghini tractor oh yeah that happens that happens yeah they have a two hour window to get the race in so like

if something happens that slows it down and you hit two hours they're stopping you they're like alright we're done we're sick of you get off the track oh no one's in the lead wins

after two hours yeah that's pretty much it and there are like different timing rules if the race like stops before it starts all of this in the in the in the australian one and i got asked to do this once but i couldn't because i was i was tied up doing a sitcom at the time and i had this in the australian one i don't know if they do this rest of the world but they have a race before the race and it's all like you'll be in like, you know, Honda Accords or something, like some mid-level cars, and it's a celebrity race. And they deck your car and they train you up as a driver

for like a week. Like Elle Macpherson went in one and all that sort of stuff. There's all Australian celebrities. There's no one big there, you know. And I got asked to do that and I wanted to do that so bad but i couldn't i was tied up and they have not asked me since so if the good people at the australian grand prix would like me to be in the celebrity race i would love it okay i've done that i've done that on a non-formula one weekend before it was formula three or four you know because i'm way down here

in terms of importance uh i did that one time i I did the, like, pre-race race. Elmig Ferson would do them now. Yeah. Formula 4. Was that, like, rollerblades or something? It's like one, two, three, four. They do that. The players from Wrexham are driving it.

But two hours, I'm into that then, because that's something that Kalina had with some of the races. Yeah, I got his way out on that the whole day takes about six I remember watching it from a thing when they talk and all that crap it's like you know watching any sport there's a lot of preamble when you get the answer wrong

you just kind of like blend it into your answer like the whole day takes about six so yeah I didn't come this far in life but I'm not bullshitting my way out of this yeah that's jim that's gk how many drivers are on f1 team he said two that's correct that is correct they mandated that each team has to have two a couple years ago there used to be you could just like show up with one driver or you could show up with six.

It didn't really matter. But Formula One got really invested in the whole we need to make a lot of money thing. So they make sure that you have two drivers for every team to guarantee that those teams also show up to every race and score points all season. And also because with certain drivers, some people support the team, Ferrari or Mercedes or whatever, and some people support drivers.

And then often like so Australia's got a bloke, Weber, who drives for us and another young bloke who's doing well. Who's the young bloke who's? Who's the bloke? Mark Weber's gone. No, Mark Weber's gone. Mark Weber's been gone for a while, yeah. Daniel Ricciardo's no longer young.

Ricciardo, Daniel Ricciardo, he's the big one. Daniel Grotto hasn't been young in a few years. Daniel Ricciardo might not also be racing anymore. Oh, okay. The Australians will support him when he comes out, not the other team, because there's no Australian car manufacturers anymore. No Holdens out there.

I love a Holden. Me too. Do you ever watch the touring cars? The super cars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Holden special vehicles. And now they've got Mustangs racing in those, but it used to be the Ford Sierra and the Holden Commodores,

and they'd be all beefed up. And they would get to 300 kilometers an hour, and that's why I said Formula One is an hour and that's why i said formula one is vastly and that's why i said 300 miles i might be off by that okay we'll see how we go how many cars how many cars drive at one time he said 22 yeah 22 yeah almost right currently there are 20 teams with two drivers each 20 cars yeah yep Yeah. And so who are all the teams? You said- I was including the pace car. Yeah. And the safety, the medical car at the back.

Yeah, the ambulance. There you go. 22 right there. 22 on the track at one time, baby. So there's 10 teams. So you said it's Ferrari, Mercedes. All right, here we go. Let's see if I can get through them.

Let's see if I'm missing anything. Yeah, I don't know. All right. So 10 teams? Yes. Red Bull? Yes So 10 teams? Yes. Red Bull? Yes. McLaren?

Yes. Mercedes? Yes. Ferrari? Yes. Jaguar? No. Jaguar's no longer in it?

Or they were never in it? They were in it. Red Bull bought Jaguar. Oh, then I'm out then. You already had four? I'm right on that, Elizabeth, right? That was Red Bull bought Jaguar. You didn't say Ferrari, right?

I said Ferrari. Does BMW have one? I don't know. BMW does not have one. Aston Martin has one. Aston Martin has a team. What about Ford? Hyundai. Ford does not have a team. Hyundai doesn't have a team. Kia? The hamster is race.

It would be great, though. Tesla. No. You didn't hear that one coming up behind you? I don't know. I said that. Aston Martin. Aston Martin's got one.

Maserati. How about Aston Martin? Maserati doesn't have one. Maserati's owned by Ferrari. Oh, yeah. Same place. And Fiat owned all of them. Smart car.

It's all Chrysler. Cadillac. No no I don't know what are so what are the teams seven okay so we have Red Bull Mercedes

Ferrari we have McLaren Aston Martin Alfa Tauri Haas Alpine Haas give me the last two

Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo Peugeot Alfa Alfa Romeo Williams of course Williamsiams yes well yeah that's all yeah williams is around and it was just like it was just people it's not even cars i'm just guessing cars that williams documentary that's ford yeah okay um how does that f1 team

work like how yeah so there's two like how does it i1 team work? Like, yeah, so there's two. Like, how does it? What a big question. So how did the world start? How did the world begin? You did pretty well with this one. You did pretty well. Nolan, Elizabeth. Yeah, you said one guy can win and one guy can't.

And that's usually how it goes. Sometimes, though, the team tells the drivers which guy is going to win. That is a phenomenon known as team orders. Not the coolest thing that happens on the track. I saw that movie. Ford vs Ferrari.

Yeah. Why isn't Ford in it anymore then? That was Le Mans. Oh that was Le Mans. I got it understood let's go in deeper on this okay yeah

but like you said all the teams are pretty stacked with people in the pit crew wasn't like 20 people in the pit crew I think it's 18 but don't quote me on that yeah everyone's has a very specialized job, and if one guy messes up,

that usually costs a lot of time during a pit stop, and with the cars that go this fast, every tenth of a second truly counts. Because that fraction of a second can mean coming out of the pits right next to the car, or ahead of your opponent, or right

behind them. So everyone's got to be on point. If you're like the bloke and you forgot to put one bolt on the tires for the rest, for the next couple of days, it's like when you fuck up at any job. You're like, I got donuts and you want a drink? I'll get you a drink. You want one? Yeah.

And so it's 12 seconds. That's what Jim said for a pit stop. That's what Jim said. a pit stop. That's what Jim said. What are you shooting for? So that's wrong. Yeah, that's wrong. There's no refueling anymore. No refueling.

Get the fuck out of here. I don't need you coming on here with your bloody kangaroo. Refueling is actually interesting because it was banned a while back for safety reasons. People were catching on fire. That's because back in the day, we were all smoking while we did it. And then it came back and then it got banned again. But this time it was mainly for financial reasons. It costs less money to transport all the refueling technology to the racetrack to like go and refuel it during the race. So now you start the race with a certain amount of fuel and you

can get through the entire race with that fuel formula one pit stops actually last about two to 2.4 seconds like 2.4 is a good pit stop two point reason yeah the reason for this is because refueling takes a long time yeah but you have to think the pit stop time is how long it takes to replace all the tires. Pretty much the pit crews line up on the sides of the pit box. The car comes in in between the people. The people pull off the wheel and put on a new wheel. So it's very, very fast. They're already there. That 12 second range that you're talking about is more of a NASCAR range.

With fuel, it would have been 12 seconds. Yeah, yeah. I haven't watched for a long time. No, no, no, but that 12 second range is more NASCAR so I actually learned how to do a NASCAR pit stop a few months ago. Because you've got to stop, fuck your sister. Yeah, that's

exactly right. You come pretty quick, it's your sister. Two seconds for tires? My brain does not operate. The world record currently was set by Red Bull in 2019. They changed tires in 1.82 seconds. Yeah, but that's because Red Bull

cracks you out. That's what caffeine will do to you, baby. How many bolts are on the tire? Is there a guy for bolts? No, it's one big bolt. It's one big bolt. It's still like, damn.

Yeah. So NASCAR now has one big ball. But the reason NASCAR takes 10 to 12 seconds is because people, the pit crew starts on pit wall. There are only five of them versus like, you know, 18 or whatever in formula one, they jump off pit road pit wall in front of the moving car,

change the tires, then run to the other side and change the tires on the other side there are only five of them whereas you have people on each side of a formula one car and they just kind of stay in place and change the tire and any nice guy the guy comes out and goes oh those tires are gonna cost you yeah that's exactly it i don't have them in stock right now i can order them in maybe two weeks. That's actually accurate because teams with less money

will buy fewer sets than are allowed. You'll get a maximum of nine sets. Teams with less money will buy seven and if it turns out they need an extra set, they'll go buy one during the race. That's a thing that happens. That's a thing that happens. You go to Ferrari and you're like,

hey, you guys got any extra tires? What do you want the tires for? What do you want the tires for? Hey, hey, tractor boy. Okay, but they'll also do that in NASCAR. Like they'll go to other teams and they'll buy tires that have barely been used. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just for cotton and cigarettes. Yeah, that's what they'll do. Are there any Formula One reality competition shows for pit crews? I feel like that's... You need to space the show out. You can't have a TV show where the highlight is two

seconds. It's an hour build until one second. It's not the best reality show. I mean where they go through competitions to see who's the fastest. It just feels like a reality competition setup. NASCAR used to have an annual competition. It wasn't like a reality show,

but they had an annual competition where the pit crews were the only ones competing. Other sports typically don't do that, but... IndyCar still does it at the 500. IndyCar does it at the 500. You're right. So IndyCar does it at the 500. NASCAR used to do it as a standalone event, but they stopped doing that in 2012.

So it's been a while. Jim, we could pitch that show. You could be the host. You could be the host. You would have to work five seconds a week. Do you know how many shows I turn down that I like that every day? Don't get offered to me. None?

I had one that was offered to me called Bicycle Tire, which was similar to what you're saying. Wait, what does that show? You got to get the chain back on. It's like a kid. Oh, yeah. You got to get the chain back on. And your hands afterwards.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you got to come home. And then that front tire is wobbly. Then you got to explain to your mom why you were late. Yeah. Yeah, you got to roll up your pants too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And are they mandatory pit stops?

You have to make at least one. I'm sorry. Okay, yeah. You have to use two different tire compounds during the race, which is why you have to stop. And you use slicks on dry and tread on wet or whatever.

Correct. You got it. Nolan, tell us about tire compounds. Yeah, so if it rains, like if you use a wet weather tire at any point in the race, you don't really have to abide by the two compound rule anymore, which is cool. There's currently Formula One uses five different tire compounds or Pirelli has five different tire compounds that they send out to the tracks. During a race weekend, Pirelli, the tire supplier, will select three of those compounds, and those are designated as soft, medium, and hard. The softs are super grippy.

The car really hooks up to the track with those, but they don't last very long. You can't drive super hard on them. The surface just tears up pretty easily. Then, to contrast that like a hard tire lasts a long time but they take a little while to heat up or get up to temperature and and be grippy for the driver so there's a lot of strategy in choosing your tires um and you know some time some drivers are very good at saving their tires and making them last all race. They're usually more veteran drivers that are very good at that.

Yeah. I have a Pirelli story. Forrest knows my Pirelli story. I'll tell you my Pirelli story, right? So we all know about the Pirelli calendar. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was like, I didn't know. Yeah, I know you're talking about that.

The Pirelli calendar. Now, the Pirelli calendar is a thing that you'll have. We don't know about in the United States. No, but I'm going to tell you all what it is. The Pirelli, the tire company, would bring out a calendar every year of some tasteful nude pictures of the most beautiful women on earth, and they would give it to mechanics and stuff, and they would hang it up in their dodgy thing.

This is before the internet, when porn was hard to get to. But it would be like- A tire company had to give it to you. Yeah. But even those supermodels would be in this. This would be the only naked shot they'd do their whole career would be the Pirelli calendar. It was very prestigious to be in the Pirelli calendar.

Every year for the last 40, 50 years, my father has received a Pirelli calendar for Christmas and my father's a carpenter and he put it up there in his shed and that's where he did his work, you know, and he'd have the tasteful naked pictures of women on the thing. Anyway, a few years back they brought out a calendar with real women in it is how I would say it, women who weren't supermodels, right?

I'm not a supermodel myself. I'm not judging. But this was a shock to my father. He didn't get a notification about it. No one told him. My father doesn't know how to use the internet, therefore he doesn't know that this was about to happen, and he also can't access porn.

His porn for the year was always the Pirelli calendar. And my father rang me up and the sentence was, who the fuck is Amy Schumer? And I was like, because he said it was a comic. And I said, oh, she's a very funny comic. I know her dad. She's a very nice girl. I like Amy a lot.

Like, what's she doing in the Pirelli calendar? His entire year would be dictated by Oh, he got angrier every month Every month He never looked through the calendar He just waited for the surprise Yeah, because that's how you meant to do the calendars What's next month? Normally you get something

And then like February is a dog covered with chocolates on a calendar or something like that, something fun. My dad would be like, whose tits am I going to look at this month? Right? And then he'd turn over and then it was like a newsreader from the 1960s. And then Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And he's swimming.

I thought Jessica Tandy was dead. But he still came just the same. Oh, no, he used it. He had one calendar he loved, and October through to December was stuck together. Oh, my God. How fast do F1 cars go? Jim said over 300 miles per hour on the straight.

No. That's where you get confused. No, it's 230. About 230 is way up there. Do you fucking Americans drive it? I don't have time to try and come on over. It's still pretty fast.

Let it fucking rip. I thought we took kilometers. You got mixed up with the kilometers. Yeah, you said miles. The supercars hit. They do hit about 180, so 300 kilometers per hour. Yeah, the supercars get 300. I just thought they were faster.

I said 300 miles. That was an educated guess that was wrong. And I'm sure there's some name for the flip-flop safety bar. That's called the Halo. Well, they had to put that on after in center died wasn't it was after center died that was in 2017 i think no 2018 2018 is after joe b yankee died oh joe b yankee yeah you're a hell of a driver is he a driver no i don't but uh uh the and and it holds 10 tons or how much can it hold so it can hold 26 000 pounds um as much as a london double-decker bus so according to the mercedes a thousand pounds is a ton right

so 20 000 yeah two thousand pounds so i fucking crushed it yeah yeah yeah 26 000 pounds i crushed it it's impossible to crush well that's that's an estimate from a few years ago from the Mercedes team. But, you know, all the same. And what country is the best at racing? Is it Italy? Elizabeth would know. It is the United Kingdom. I was flip-flopped.

I was right in there. I was right in the United Kingdom. The UK has 307 wins as of today between 19 different drivers. Italy only has 43 wins. Losers. Ouch. Yeah. Has Australia got two?

How many Australians? Two. Australia, I think, is like 10. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. They're the world champion. Respectable number. Yeah, we got a few.

Does the US have any good drivers? The United States has only had two American, like there have only been two American drivers since the turn of the century. That is Scott Speed. Lance Donovan. And Alexander Rossi. Scott Speed. His real name is Scott Speed.

It is. His real name is Scott Speed. He was born for this. And his brother's called Scott Milk. Oh my God, that's called Scott Milk. Oh, my God. That's actually really funny. Elizabeth knows why. Scott Speed actually did this lip sync video in, I don't know,

2010 to Milk and Cereal. So that was just really funny that you said that. Scott Speed, he has to do something to raise his fucking profile. He's not raising money. Get on the Tic Tac, Scott. Yeah. I call it the Tic Tac. Tic Tac.

The Tic Tac Tone. American drivers are very rare. There have only been two since the turn of the century. Before that, I think the last American driver was 1993. I think you've got a lot coming ever since the Netflix documentaries and it's got so popular over here. Because now I know that it's getting popular in America because being foreign and a lot of Americans think I'm British

or whatever and they meet me or whatever. If I get into an Uber, hey, I've been watching this Formula One thing, man. Oh, my God. Fucking hell, those guys are crazy, man. And I go, yep, yep. I told you the story the other day where I told a bloke I played for Manchester United. Yeah.

I just fucking lied. He said, I know you from somewhere, man. You're like an athlete, right? And I went, sure. He goes, you're retired. And I looked at my stomach like I guess I would be I'd be a heavily retired athlete

what soccer team did you play for I went Manchester United he went Manchester United knew it wow amazing

why are drivers incredible why are drivers wait after the race you were pretty correct on this they lose fluids. Also, there is a minimum weight for drivers and cars.

So they typically take their weight a lot during the weekend. What? There's a minimum weight? There's a minimum weight. So are you telling me that Formula One is anti-dwarf? Yeah. So, yeah, it seems like it actually. They anti they're not pro dwarf they have to they have to exactly where they reach the pedals how they reach the pedals in regular cars you think

you can't engineer bigger pedals for your dwarf driver you think you wouldn't set the car up for the dwarf to drive at his maximum speed if you actually had a legitimate like a person who was legitimately way shorter than the other drivers you can offset their weight with a thing called ballast. You can put it in near the cockpit pretty much to make the cockpit heavier. So it's not enough that this guy's grown up with a problem. Now you're putting rocks in his pockets. They put rocks in his car. Yeah, pretty much.

They have to put rocks in his car. Poor dwarf with rocks in his pockets. Yeah, that's exactly it. You bloody put him in the car. Poor dwarf with rocks in his pockets. Yeah, that's exactly it. You bloody put him in the drawer. Nickname him Rocky. The reason you can only put it around the cockpit is so that teams cannot get like a weight advantage by putting it in different places

and changing the balance of their car for an advantage. So you have to put it where the driver sits. So they still have to weigh a certain amount after the race or it's a penalty? And that's because, is it's a penalty? That's because... Is it by a driver-by-driver basis? Because they don't want the drivers to lose too much weight or cut weight before a race,

which used to be a big problem. Guys would get out of their car after... This was as recent as five years ago, I want to say. Had you heard my go-kart theory? Not mine. I've heard that theory from other people. I had never heard that. It's very intriguing.

There are a couple drivers who are over six feet. Yeah, like Nico Hulkenberg was famously like 6'3". Current driver, George Russell, I believe he's 6'2". Nico Hulkenberg is 6'3". He's a tall dude. He gives me like not 6'3 energy.

He gives off Napoleon vibes. Yeah, he gives off Napoleon vibes. he gives off Napoleon vibe they're all rich kids though like I know one of them is the son of one of the owners of one of the teams right yeah Lance Stroll yeah he's like his dad's like a billionaire and he's like I drive for my father

yeah that's basically it yeah in auto racing if your daddy buys the team you can race on the car this is what I'm trying to make happen. Well, you can't. It's not a working class kid sport because you do start in go-karting, and then you have to travel around to find the other kids who are good at go-karting.

So it all can't be in your neighborhood. They're expensive cars. You can't just, like, pick it up. Yeah, yeah. So they've got to start like that, and they go through all the things. So you've got to have go-kart money. Like, you don't have to be a billionaire, but you have to definitely have a couple of mil to have go-kart money.

And spare time. Like, fuck that. If my son said to me, Dad, I'm getting real good at go-karting, I'd put rocks in his pocket. So he'd lose the next race. I'd have to travel around the countryside all day with a fucking go-kart strapped to the back of my car. Oh, my God.

He wouldn't know the rocks were there? He wouldn't know the rocks were in there? No, smart kid. If you're listening, mate, if it's 10 years down the track and you've tried to listen to your old man's podcast, I've always been very proud of you. But I did put rocks in your pocket. What is overtaking forbidden?

Yeah. Well, we got what is overtaking first. Yeah. What is it? Which he did what he normally does, which is using the word in the definition. He said, what am I? He said, what am I, an idiot or something? I don't know.

Something like that. Yeah. That's the correct answer. Yeah. Yeah. Passing. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah, that was the correct answer. Yeah, yeah. Just passing. Yeah. Okay, but overtaking actually has more specific rules than just passing by someone.

I know, no dwarfs. All right, well, explain the whole thing to us. The rules are always the same. Like the front cover of Formula One is just a picture of a dwarf with a nose on it. So overtaking isn't just passing people. And the most strict version of overtaking rules is in this, like basically battle for who does the most overtakes per race.

The most strict version, like definition of overtaking is from that. And the definition of overtaking is you have to pass someone who's on the same lap as you. You can't, they can't be a lap down. Can't pass someone who's on the same lap as you. They can't be a lap down. You can't pass someone who's on pit lane. You cannot pass someone who is wrecked and stop. It has to be an actual gain in position on a car

that is still driving at full speed like you are. Right, but if you're lapping a person, you can't pass them. It doesn't count as an overtake. It doesn't count as one. You're allowed to overtake them. It doesn't count. Within Formula One's most overtakes championship.

Are they meant to let you by as well? I'm shit at this. Sorry. When you're getting lapped, you get a blue flag. Yeah, you get a blue flag and the blue flag says, move over, you suck. And you move over because everybody else does.

There's a blue flag with checkered whites in it. It means stop texting. Stop texting. Exactly. Stop watching Derrick Rose's sex tape. That's coming up next. That's our next question. What is DRS

we know it's not Derrick Rose sex it's not the sex tape but he does fuck good that's a fact shout out to Derrick Rose he is no heart required he was going to be a great basketball player until the injury he was a great basketball player but what is DRS

no rocks in his pockets Nolan what is DRS DRS is the drag reduction system so this is the donut puts on his dick i wasn't in plug mode sorry yeah yeah uh also your podcast yes yes but it's also the drag reduction system it's a a kind of actuated uh slot the wing. The top part of the rear wing flips downwards. Or now I guess it's upwards. It's all so confusing. Anyway, it reduces the drag

on the rear wing. Just pick one and hope for the best, mate. Yeah. It opens up, lets a lot more air through, reduces parasitic drag behind the car and the car on the straight can gain about 10 miles an hour with that system open. If you're following someone for position and you get within one second of

them and you are in a DRS zone, you can open up that rear wing. It makes it easier to pass because you have more speed. And Formula One kind of implemented this to increase the number of overtakes because for a while, the cars were so aerodynamic that cars could not follow behind. So it was very hard to make legitimate overtakes. So they implemented this DRS. So it's like getting a star in Mario Kart. Correct. Yes.

A little bit. Okay. So the 230 miles, right? I think my car can get up to over 200 miles. Okay. I think it can too. Yeah, my car can definitely get over 200. They don't know what kind of car you have.

I have a red eye Hellcat, which is 980 something horsepower. All right, Jim. That's close. That's not exactly right, but that's close. No, no, no. On a drag race, it corners like a sled this thing. You can't handle

the shit. I just turn out of a driveway and it fishtails. Oh no, it actually does. It will fishtail in the neighborhood. I like when you put it in valet mode and it's like 500 horsepower. Yeah, it's the fastest muscle car ever. I like when you put it in valet mode and like 500 horsepower. Yeah, it's the fastest muscle car ever built.

Now, someone else is going to go, actually, you're a demon. Dislike. Go fuck yourself and listen to another podcast, cunt. Anyway, but I reckon it can go. Yeah, but it can't handle. That's the thing. Look, I've never taken up to 200. When it's sitting at like 90, 100, my foot is resting on the accelerator.

I've never pedaled to the metal. It can get to zero to 60 in like 2.3, but that's not the max. That's just acceleration. But, yeah, I reckon it can definitely do well over 200 miles an hour. Well, the interesting thing about the Hellcat Redeye is you get the red key and the black key. And the red key is full horsepower and the black key is 500. And if you're a woman who writes a review about a Hellcat, all of the comments are, did you just use the black key the whole time? And you're like, thank you.

Thank you so much. They call that the lady key. I use the black key every now and again when I've lost my red key. For some reason, the black key I can find all the time. The red key I lose in the car. You can also just change it in the infotainment screen, which a lot of people like when they make that joke, they don't realize you can change the horsepower once you're in the car.

I don't know that. You know it now. It's in the infotainment screen, yeah. They're very fast. I don't think Jim's ever used the infotainment screen. Nah, I haven't changed anything. Sometimes I use the paddle shifts if I want to have a bit of fun.

There you go. What is dirty air? We know the answer was wrong. It's the stuff behind Derek Groves fucking. Yeah. Dirty. Dirty air is basically the car in front, the car in front.

If there's like a line of cars or there's more than one car, the car in front punches a hole in the air. So it's like you're diving into a pool, basically like slip streaming. That's it. Yeah. So slip streaming is what happens is a maneuver you can make in dirty air. So basically dirty air disrupts the air behind the car. You can use this to your

advantage because you're no longer the one who has to punch the hole, right? You're kind of in this little tunnel created by the car in front of you. That's good. That can be good on straight aways. And you can slip stream, which means using that advantage you get from that hole to pass the person because you're going faster. When you get into a corner, that disruption of air just kind of creates like this huge wake and it makes your car handle worse. So dirty air can be good and bad. Thanks for bringing up slipstreaming. I forgot to ask that question.

And I'm glad you did that. We skipped that one. I would have got that right. I would have gotten the wrong buddy voice. I'm like flip getting my phone up. But thank you for bringing that up. My computer was dying. I'm like, flip, getting my phone up. Thank you. Bring that up. How hot is the cockpit? 42 Celsius?

I don't even know what that would be. That's about 110. How hot does it get there? Like 110, 120. Sometimes it can get up to like 140. Like in Singapore, it'll get up to like 140. in Singapore It'll get up to like 140 And do they have like water in there?

They have a little tube Like a camelback They also have like On their helmets On their screen On wet days they have layers and they just peel them off That's how they get the water off Tear-offs

Or like a big bug hits them in the face, they can just like, whoop, peel that thing off. And it's just like a little thin layer. It's like the stuff you take off the top of remote controls when you first go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really? Basically.

Yeah, yeah. Key. And then what are they wearing underneath there? Not lingerie, or is it fire repellent gel? Is that what they got? They're basically long johns, but they're made out of something called nomex uh which gives you like 10 seconds more time to get out of a cockpit if the car is on fire before you start to burn so

yeah they used to line the suits with asbestos as it uses a firepower and many believe that's how Steve McQueen died, was the asbestos that he wore in his suit. Oh, interesting. Oh, from all the... Does asbestos not catch fire? No, it's fire. That's why it's used as insulin in your house and everything. That's why it was everywhere.

It was a fire. I grew up in a time when they said, hey, this shouldn't be around people anymore. Yeah, well, they found that out later. The fact that Jack's going to live forever means we haven't done well. And do they pee in their suits in the cars?

Yes. Everyone wants to know this. Formula One does it less because their races are usually 90 minutes, but when you get into an IndyCar race or a NASCAR race where it'll go for four hours, yes. And the worst is like endurance

racing. So at the 24 hours of Le Mans, drivers will just pee in the suit in the car, but then another driver has to get in afterward. Smells. I don't know if I could do that. I kind of have a nervous kind of complex about it. I have a hard time even doing

it in the ocean with people around. I don't know if I could perform under pressure. Don't do it when people are around. When they weigh them afterwards. Try to get your own bit of the ocean, man. You're swimming up to people and pissing going, I'm nervous about this. Okay.

I was at the beach last week and I got up and I said, I'm going to go to the bathroom and my husband said, why don't you just go to the ocean? And I was like, are you encouraging me to go pee in the ocean when I'm saying I'm going to go to the bathroom. And my husband said, why don't you just go to the ocean? And I was like, are you encouraging me to go pee in the ocean when I'm saying I'm going to the bathroom? No, March 9th, I pee in the ocean. I encourage my wife to piss in the ocean.

We're an ocean pissing family. You don't shit out there as a group. I actually got shamed for going to the bathroom. I got shamed by my husband I think this is just like you're meant to be more free with your body there are so many ocean pissers in this chat right now

it's not a pool I don't pool piss man I don't pool piss why do you have so many bees in your pool I'm not getting near any of you I am not getting near any of you I am not getting near any of you We are not going to the beach, no We were so close to going to the beach

We were so close Jack kicked off the schedule You ruined it Your Wednesday's open Almost like 80% of our guests I've gone to the beach with The next day It's our treat to say thank you Alright, well next week is clear Why do F1 drivers I've gone to the beach with the next day. It's our treat to say thank you.

All right. Well, next week is clear. Why do F1 drivers take... Me and Richard Dawkins made a castle. Oh, Richard. That would be hilarious. Why do F1 drivers take their steering wheel after a crash? You're right. It's easier to get out.

So it's easier to get in and out of the car. And also the steering wheel is removable so that if like a safety crew needs to get an unconscious driver out of the car, they can move it and get it out of the way really fast and pull the driver out. But it's also nice just to keep the cars all smashed up. Like if you've ever been in a car wreck, you take your sunglasses out of the center console.

Yeah. And how much do F1 teams spend to win the title each year? Jim said a billion. Not quite. Not quite. If they want to win. It's usually about $500 million for Mercedes and Ferrari. Yeah.

How much is the winning prize? Why spend that much? How much do you get for winning 20 grand it's not mowry you get that champagne you spray around everywhere that would make you want to piss even more i don't do champagne anymore sparkling wine sparkling wine back when i was a day when i was a kid, the race would be won, and then they'd smoke cigarettes on the podium, and they'd flick them out into the crowd.

And we were happy to be burnt by them. I got a fucking hand and sent a burn on me neck. All right. Now's the time for our show called Dinner Party Facts. We ask our guests to give us some sort of fact or something interesting

obscure that our our guests I mean our listeners can use to impress people like at a dinner party or a bar or something what do you guys got for us on formula one

sorry I just peed in my suit it's been a long podcast this is why we're not going to the beach I did it at home I would go in the ocean if I was in the beach. Okay.

So this isn't super impressive, but it's weird. Like, I don't know, four decades ago, I lose track of time. There was this sponsor in Formula One called Moneytron. And Elizabeth is just reacting because she knows what I'm saying. It was called Moneytron. And basically the whole point of MoneyTron was that it was a supercomputer that could predict the stock market. And it was created by this man named Jean-Pierre Van Rosem. So it's a supercomputer that can predict the stock market and got a bunch of rich people to invest in it.

But no one's ever seen the supercomputer. And apparently, it's in this office that only Jean-Pierre Van Rosem has the key to. This thing didn't exist. Like it wasn't a thing. It, he was lying. It's in that office. I am money. I want to live.

Let me out of this office. So this thing, so they sponsor a Formula One team, Moneytron does. And everything blows up because Jean-Pierre Van Rossum lost his fortune. He loses his fortune and he's like, the good news is that there's one less capitalist in the world. The bad news is that he is me. And he just lets this Formula One team kind of implode. And then his wife died and he hinted at like

weird money and murder, but he never like said anything for sure. And he actually kept her body in a cryogenic chamber, hoping that he could one day revive her when technology got far enough. And the spark went out on the idea. This is an exact quote from a story from his death. The spark went out on the idea when someone cut power to the tomb. So she didn't get revived. Also, I like that the cryogenics, because then if she's in like a coma, if like, you know, does she stay at like the age she was when she died? That's a great question.

Because that would make it all the worthwhile. Because then you'd be like, oh, they'd be like, my wife is 30 years younger than me. That's the only time it's appropriate to date somebody that young. But I married her 50 years ago. Yeah, so Formula One has a history of really scammy sponsors. This man had a supercomputer that could predict the stock market and he managed to

acquire a Formula 1 team with his supercomputer and then implode the Formula 1 team. Bring back Moneytron, man. Bring back Moneytron, exactly. Hashtag free Moneytron. He'd have a lot of things to say about the stock market right now. He'd be like, Moneytron,

he'd let him out of his cage and he'd go, I am Moneytron. And we'd be like, Moneytron, he'd let him out of his cage and he'd go, I am Moneytron. And he'd be like, Moneytron, what's happened to the world? Bitcoin, you idiot. Well, the name of the podcast is The Donut Racing Show. You can get it anywhere you listen to the podcast.

Please download it and subscribe. Do you guys have any social media? I thought Elizabeth and Nolan got to do fun facts. I just stole the fun facts. Oh sorry, if you got more, yeah. We want all of them. Do y'all have a dinner party fact y'all want to do?

Then we'll rate the fun facts who did the best one. Money Train coming number one. Money Bot. what's his name manitron manitron manitron manitron what else you got for us can't beat manitron pressure um the bugatti chiron uh famously extravagant and immensely engineered ultra car of today is named after one Louis Chiron, a driver had a long career.

He was also the oldest person to ever enter a Formula One race at 58 years old in 277 days. He did not qualify for the 1958

Monaco Grand Prix, but he still holds the record. Good for him. Good for him. I'm still going Monatron. Well, no, we'll do it at the end. We'll see him holds the record. Good for him. I'm still going Monatron. Well, no, we'll do it at the end. We'll see him at the end. There have only been

three Formula One drivers out of over a thousand with the last name Hill, but all three of them have won a world championship. Okay. All right. So here we go. We've got three racers named Hill. They've all won a championship. We've got the oldest.

I can't pronounce his name. No, he's 58. Sharon. Yeah, Sharon. Sharon. I want to say Nolan also did the voice. But if I was younger, I would have found that one more interesting. I know, but he did the voice.

He did the voice, though. You've wanted him to do the voice. But I still think at my age that I've got some sport to play in an international level. We've got Moneytron. It's Moneytron, man. Yeah, it's got to be Moneytron. They're all winners in our eyes.

Moneytron. I just want to know what he's up to. And then if we free Moneytron, then we just see videos of him twirling around. Just twerking on TikTok. And just a lot of naked pictures of him abusing smaller computers. The Pirelli calendar. Oh, yeah. The Pirelli calendar. Oh, yeah. The Pirelli calendar.

The Pirelli calendar. Get him naked. Well, y'all, you are all very entertaining. And obviously, it was great. Just the way you guys work together, you were like throwing it to each other. What you could do is some of that. The podcast is The Donut Racing Show. So please go find that podcast and listen to it.

And thank you for being on here. Alanis King, Elizabeth Blackstock, Nolan Sykes. And what were you saying? Do you guys have any social media that you want to plug? I know you guys wrote a book, too. So if you want to promote that.

Oh, how exciting. So my social media is Alanis in the middle initial in and then King, K-I-N-G. I'm online. And, you know, if you spell it wrong, it's fine. If you just do Atlantis K, it'll probably show up. It happens. Elizabeth and I wrote a book that comes

out in about a month. It's called Racing with Rich Energy. It's about another scammy sponsor like MoneyTron, and it has the whole MoneyTron story in it. So Racing with Rich Energy, if you Google Rich Energy book, it'll come up. I just wanted to know how to love. Elizabeth Nolan, social media? I am at eliz underscore blackstock on Twitter and at elizablackstock on Instagram. But Instagram, I mostly just post my cats. So, go to Twitter. Follow me on all social media at

NolanJSykes and check out the Donut Media YouTube channel. We make car videos for every level of car knowledge, even if you know nothing about cars or you're a big hardcore car person. Jim, check it out. It sounds like you with your Hellcat would enjoy

it. Yeah, I'll get onto that. I like to look at that. I use the internet. person uh jim check it out it sounds like you with your hellcat would uh enjoy it yeah i'll get onto that i like to look at yeah i use the i use the internet yep you do i'm down with what the kids are up to and your tic tacs yeah with your tic tacs and your and your twatters there you go all right ladies and, if you're ever at a party and a slide board comes up to you and goes, I am money trying. You go, I don't know about that, but come to this room with me.

I want to talk to you. Good night, Australia.
