How to Get Sponsors with W Series Driver Sabré Cook Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

This week, we've got brawn and brains on the pod with W Series driver, U.S. Karting champion, and engineer Sabré Cook. She teaches the guys what NOT to do in karting and how to master turn 1 at COTA, explains how racing is like acting, commiserates with Matt about back pain, and helps us strategize how to get more sponsors and develop our brand values (spoiler alert: we don't have any). Plus, we explore why Jamie Chadwick is basically Tom Cruise and the how Netflix should have a W Series "Drive to Survive."

The only thing more egregious than the FIA's corruption is Matt's deathbed voice (get well soon, bubbeleh!). The boys cover all the headlines from this week's Japanese GP including Pierre Gasly's warranted anger, why the FIA should hire us if they want to become really good at cheating, the cinematic story arc of Seb vs. Alonso, how Christian's whooping Toto in 3D chess, why we should invade Switzerland, Sir Lewis and Max being eerily similar, why Danny Ric has too much to live for, and 2 simple words that will solve Red Bull's cost cap issue: DEBIT CARD.

There Are No Ties in America feat. Spanners from Missed Apex Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

They say never meet your heroes, but they weren't talking about the F1 machine and host of the iconic podcast Missed Apex -- Spanners Ready. If your kink is hearing a motorsport "generalist" get as feisty as Matt and tell him he's WRONG, then this is the episode for you. The guys talk about races ending under safety cars, Fernando Alonso the guilty pleasure, why our podcast is like a mistress, how the F1 greats of the 70s were basically "hobbyists," and why we all dedicate so much time, energy, and love to something that has the lowest stakes.

Coming soon -- Patreon and merch!!!

BELGIAN GP RECAP: Size (Usually) Doesn't Matter Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

Brian's on the Greek Isles getting tzatziki massages poolside while Matt and Producer Jeni carry the weight of their incredibly successful podcast. The race may have been a snooze, but there was no sleep for us (bc Riverside SUX) and we had a LOT to discuss. We talk Daniel Ricciardo's really not at all tragic layoff, Fernando Alonso being the reincarnation of Cthulhu, Ferrari's talk to text radio strategy, how F1 continues to prove it's the best reality show in the game, throw in a French lesson and some commonly misused phrases for all you dummies, AND give the definitive answer to that age-old debate "Does size really matter?"

Note to Jeni's dad who listens religiously -- you can skip from 27:15 to 32:01.

WE MISS U, BRIAN!

Matt and Brian go over the basics of F1 in a way that's as clear and straightforward as the Paul Ricard track. Learn about the structure of a race weekend, the histories of the teams on the grid, the cast of this incredible reality show -- AKA the drivers, and why F1 has parallels to life's wheel of fate. Plus N*zi sex scandals, billionaires, and hot boys.

And if you have any questions after this, there's always f*cking Google. K? xoxo
