Choosing Violence Is Organizationally Encouraged

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 15:47:17 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse are back to take in a new world in F1 where McLaren leads the constructors standings after Oscar Piastri's victory in Baku over Charles Leclerc. With rookies Oliver Bearman and Franco Colapinto scoring points, it feels all the more like everything is changing, but one thing is the same: Sergio Perez's season from hell continues. When Kevin Magnussen returns to the track in Singapore, is anyone safe with the Dane having nothing to lose? And is the WDC really in play with Max Verstappen's lead shrinking, or is the three-time reigning champion simply on defense with Lando Norris having the better car?

Papaya Rules

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 12:38:53 GMT

Addy, Britt, Jesse, and Katie all are here after a wild two weeks in F1 saw Lando Norris win a race to really put pressure on Max Verstappen in the race for the world driver's championship, then Norris getting passed from another pole start, slipping behind Oscar Piastri and eventual winner Charles Leclerc, and having to wonder if his window is smaller than it first appeared. Leclerc's win excites us most as Ferrari fans, of course, but are we gearing up for a championship chase with eight races left in the season? Meanwhile, NASCAR heads to the playoffs after wrapping up the regular season, the Mets are flying, the Yankees are pulling a Red Bull, and one of us is already in "season over" territory on a sport that only just began its season, leading to a search for new fandom in another league. Kevin Magnussen also will have time to watch football thanks to his one-race ban.

F1/CFB Draft with Jay Arnold

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 13:41:00 GMT

Jay Arnold from The Get Back Coach and Apollo Media joins Britt, Jesse, and Katie to get ready for the resumption of F1 season and the start of college football by selecting teams from the two sports that match each other's vibes heading into fall. We're also talking about the NASCAR race at Michigan and an 1850s land dispute between the United States and then-British Canada. Find Jay on Twitter!

Martha Stewart Will Match Your Freak

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 12:04:47 GMT

F1 isn't back from its summer break yet, but Britt, Jesse, and Katie are, and we're excited that when racing returns, it'll be alongside college football (more on that next week, subscribe!) ... We're talking about NASCAR's MarioKart finish from Richmond, fun sports to see in person, baseball heading to Bristol Motor Speedway, debunking a Syracuse urban legend, a dream gridwalk guest for Martin Brundle, an Olympic tiebreaker on the racetrack, protecting Ollie Bearman at all costs, Oscar Piastri's casual broken rib, and the Tom Cruise of it all.

The Best That's Ever Held A Gun

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 12:00:00 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse go over another wild week in F1, with crack shot Lewis Hamilton picking up Mercedes' third win in the last four races thanks to teammate George Russell being disqualified, while silly season gets into full swing with Carlos Sainz agreeing to join Williams and Esteban Ocon's move to Haas for next season confirmed. Sergio Perez? He's sticking around at Red Bull somehow. To fix that, we're playing a trade deadline-inspired game to figure out the best setups if F1's top teams could add a third seat for the second half of the season. We also love the Olympics!

Astrology Is Real

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 12:28:01 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse find that Sunday's events were written in the stars, as late developments saw Oscar Piastri pass Lance Stroll for his maiden win in F1, Brad Keselowski surrendering the lead in NASCAR overtime, and even Fernando Alonso ceding a position to Lance Stroll, all on the day when a much bigger transition from second-in-line to top-of-the-charts took place with Joe Biden announcing his departure from the presidential race and endorsement of Kamala Harris. We're also looking forward to the Olympics as F1 has just one more race left before summer break, and NASCAR gets out of the way of NBC's Paris coverage.

Happy Headband Toto

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 14:59:44 GMT

Addy, Jesse, and Katie arrive at the end of F1’s tripleheader with more joy than we could’ve expected amid Ferrari’s continued struggles. We’re mostly thrilled for Lewis Hamilton’s record ninth win at a single track, but also for a truly exciting race weekend at the British Grand Prix. We’re also excited for the Lando Norris-Max Verstappen battle simmering, the new depths being explored weekly by Sergio Perez, and the funniest places Lance Stroll could win a race. We also saw the trailer for Brad Pitt’s F1 movie, VROOM VROOM MONEYBALL, and know how we’ll find out if the Expensify APX-GP social media account is real.

The Dutch Urge To SPF Strangers

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 04:29:12 GMT

Katie is back from Spain, where she got some unexpected help to fight the sun's rays and also saw Max Verstappen's final win before his current slump (finished fifth in one race, still 17 seconds ahead of his teammate despite a crash and penalty), and brings all the details to share with Addy, Britt, and Jesse. Thanks to Verstappen wrecking himself and Lando Norris, we've got a fifth F1 race winner of the season in potential future England soccer manager (or maybe USMNT manager???) George Russell. The Baguettes are still fighting, even though the French Civil War is over, and Ferrari remains adrift for another week. Plus, NASCAR sponsorship news has us Hootin' and maybe even hollerin' as much as during a five-overtime race after a rain delay, and everyone's faves giving way one by one before Joey Logano clinched his playoff spot. And for the record, the Mets scored six runs in the 10th inning of their game in Washington after we finished recording... then gave up four, but four is less than six so they still won. LET'S GO METS BABY!!!

Gay Grimace Mets

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 22:11:22 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse find out who the headliner was when Max Verstappen raced in a one-season Florida circuit in 2014, proving that sports works in mysterious and comical ways. Nothing is more mysterious and comical than a baseball team being inspired to join the playoff hunt by a fast food character, and of course it's the Gay Grimace Mets who are running rampant and setting a new vibe. Aston Martin could certainly use a vibe shift -- perhaps a first Fernando Alonso win since before Max Verstappen was in the Florida Winter Series? Spiritually closer to Florida, but actually in Iowa, NASCAR shifted to NBC for the second half of the season and we always appreciate a good broadcast -- especially in baseball, where Mets and Giants voices were perfectly equipped to deal with the death of Willie Mays. It's quite a lot of baseball for a racing podcast, but don't worry, football season starts soon enough (and we're saving all the Iowa jokes from Sunday's race until Katie gets back).

Canada Wet

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 13:02:11 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse are back together after F1's race in Montreal (and a wild NASCAR weekend in Sonoma) to chat about a Ferrari disasterclass, the silliness of Red Bull extending Sergio Perez, the rise of McLaren, the continuing Lance Stroll of it all, Max Verstappen vs. Kyle Larson for the title of best driver in the world, the dwindling options for Carlos Sainz, and the need for Kevin Magnussen to join the Indiana Fever. Meanwhile, in NASCAR, Martin Truex Jr. uses a slur and Ross Chastain gets his groove back dumping Kyle Busch.

Zack from The Gay Racing Podcast

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 12:51:51 GMT

Britt and Jesse are joined, as the episode title suggests, by Zack from The Gay Racing Podcast, for a chat about all kinds of motorsports happenings, from death threats over an IndyCar crash in Detroit, to the somehow still ongoing Kyle Larson waiver saga in NASCAR, to the percolating F1 silly season after the news of Esteban Ocon and Alpine parting ways. We're also doing a little draft to build race teams with a Pride theme.

CHARLES MARC HERVÉ PERCEVAL LECLERC

Wed, 29 May 2024 12:39:56 GMT

Charles Leclerc (finally) won the Monaco Grand Prix, and Addy, Britt, Jesse, and Katie all are here to celebrate after the most nervewracking incredibly boring race in history, a 77-lap parade of very expensive cars through the streets of Monaco. The key difference between Monaco and a parade being that parades don't generally start with multiple car crashes, we also have a lot of drama to talk about that helped set up Leclerc's victory, from Carlos Sainz's mulligan of a lifetime, to the latest blowup of the Battling Baguettes, to a Red Bull crushed like a can, to, eventually and naturally, the Lance Stroll of it all. Dig in like it's a burger from the Steak-n-Shake in Sector 1 on auto racing's most famous street circuit!

Amber Balcaen

Amber Balcaen, driver of the No. 22 Toyota, joins Addy, Britt, and Jesse to talk all kinds of racing, starting with this Friday's General Tire 150 in Charlotte, where Amber enters third in the ARCA Menards Series standings while racing with a broken foot. We're also talking about fight night at North Wilkesboro after the NASCAR All-Star race, the incredible Kyle Larson going for the Indy 500/Coke 600 double, the Lance Stroll of it all (natch), and the experience of being a woman in the male-dominated world of American stock car racing.

Outside the Native Habitat of the Grit

Thu, 16 May 2024 23:06:38 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse are here to continue dreaming about Adrian Newey coming to Ferrari, while Imola is coming up with updates on deck for the Scuderia. We're also enjoying the antics of last week's winner Lando Norris, as well as the food reviews that Denver Broncos part owner Sir Lewis Hamilton MBE did for the NFL team's schedule release video, only for his own team to get cooked by the Chargers. Nothing new in a Hamilton team struggling in 2024, but what about Sergio Perez losing a boat race to Marc Anthony, Rafael Nadal, and Tom Brady? Also in America, Michael McDowell is voluntarily affiliating himself with the Chicago White Sox, which is not a choice any of us would make (the car is super cool), and a reminder that Logan Sargeant still has all of his NCAA eligibility. Plus, the play-in matchups for the F1 In-Season Tournament that doesn't really exist.

$300 For Some Chicken Wings

Thu, 09 May 2024 12:57:18 GMT

Britt, Jesse, and Katie are back for a midweek F1 episode, since last episode we had a guest and had a lot of leftover discussion topics from the Miami Grand Prix. In addition to Lando Norris notching his first F1 win, we've got Kevin Magnussen racking up penalties, sorrow for Logan Sargeant, Alpine finally getting points this season and immediately having a driver announce he's leaving, and Yuki Tsunoda up to 10th in the standings at the expense of sometimes main character and sometimes NPC Lance Stroll. Plus, Lewis Hamilton at the Met Gala, upgrades on the way for Ferrari, and which drivers could give us the best Keon Coleman/Joe Burrow-style content.

Addy, Jesse, and Katie welcome Taylor Hagler, the driver of the No. 77 Hyundai in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and the No. 19 Lamborghini in ADAC GT Masters, to talk about the differences racing in Europe and America, the similarities between auto racing and show jumping, and the challenge of making your way as a racer without generational wealth. Plus, we hear from NASCAR and ARCA drivers Ryan Ellis, Parker Retzlaff, Zachary Tinkle, Lavar Scott, and Connor Zilisch about the experience of driving a regular car, away from the track. Oh, yeah, and Max Verstappen hit a bollard and lost an F1 race. LOLando.

The Gray Banks Of Dover

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 14:09:14 GMT

Addy and Jesse went to Dover for Casual Diehard’s first live race coverage, and return to discuss it with Britt and Katie. You’ll hear from drivers Ryan Ellis and Parker Retzlaff from the NASCAR Xfinity Series, as well as ARCA drivers Toni Breidinger, Lavar Scott, Zachary Tinkle, and Connor Zilisch. We’re also looking forward to the F1 race at Miami, and not looking past Denny Hamlin’s third win of the NASCAR Cup Series season, and the continued development of the heel persona for one of the greats who still has a big hole in his resume.

Lance Stroll Takes Out The Steel Chair

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 05:51:09 GMT

Formula 1 returned to China for the first time in five years, and despite absolutely no drama in Max Verstappen winning, he's running a different race than everyone else, and everyone else has plenty of drama -- to the delight of Addy, Jesse, and Katie in this episode. Charles Leclerc is driving his ass off for P4s, Daniel Ricciardo is driving for his job, and Lando Norris is driving everyone wild with his champagne popping skills. We're all still not quite at bingo on our preseason cards, if only someone would finish 10th. Maybe Lance Stroll? No, he's gone full heel. Meanwhile, in NASCAR, the Toyota teams find power in a union? Addy and Jesse get ready to stir the pot on their trip to Dover, and maybe an old NASCAR rule could benefit F1?

The Win-Or-Binners

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 15:23:22 GMT

The "win or bin" concept is not our own, but Addy, Jesse, and Katie do find some similarity between their faves here, whether it's at Ferrari, in NASCAR, or on the baseball diamond. On a between-races episode in the F1 season, there's plenty of room to speculate about silly season ahead, and lots of fun scenarios to imagine as we get ready for the first Chinese Grand Prix since 2019 -- a rare race on the calendar that's never been won by Max Verstappen.

It's Like A Different Category

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 13:00:55 GMT

After a snooze of a racing weekend between F1 at Suzuka and NASCAR at Martinsville, Addy, Britt, and Jesse are tackling big questions, like whether Max Verstappen or Mike Trout is a more interesting person, what's going on with Lance Stroll's hair, and whether Charles Leclerc would get designer glasses made for viewing a solar eclipse. Oh, and does Williams have enough cars to actually make it through the season?

Sometimes You're The Windshield

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 14:41:53 GMT

Addy, Britt, and Jesse spent the week between F1 races diving into the start of baseball season, which has gone for the Mets about the way we usually expect things to go for Ferrari. But remember how the last F1 race was won by... Ferrari? Wild. Ferrari won the last F1 race. That is a thing that happened. This is a mixed racing/baseball episode, as we've got NASCAR highlights from Richmond to discuss. Addy also wrote about the Mets to go with this episode, you can find that on our website.

You Brought The Social Team To Australia, But Not A Chassis

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 13:00:00 GMT

Addy, Britt, Jesse, and Katie are over the moon after the Australian Grand Prix and the rare occasion of not only a race not dominated by Max Verstappen, but won by Carlos Sainz in his Ferrari, two weeks after his appendectomy and a few months before he cedes the Scuderia seat to Lewis Hamilton… who was one spot ahead of Verstappen in the running order as Mercedes’ disaster start to the season reached a nadir. We’re glad George Russell is okay after his crash, amused by Lando Norris flipping off a fan, and wondering what Charles Leclerc has to do to get a win for the first time in almost two years. Some stuff does stay the same even when there’s a Max DNF, after all. There's also plenty of drama through F1's midfield (we'll use that term generously) and not so much this week in NASCAR from Circuit of the Americas, which is fine because the European boys delivered so much for us in Australia, and the stock cars are going back home to short tracks fort he next couple of weeks.

If you're the kind of person who would like to ponder a world where Logan Sargeant never drove a racecar, and instead was in spring training with the defending American League East champions, you're not alone. That's not a thing that specifically happens on this episode with Addy, Britt, Jesse, and Lily, but it's kind of the vibe. It's a baseball episode. It's a racing episode. It's an astrology episode. It's a little bit of everything and that's why we love to do this.

Addy, Britt, Jesse, and Katie pick their F1 drivers for a season-long game, and there's a lot to talk about on the grid, mostly away from the track as things are blowing up in the Red Bull front office. Could Max Verstappen really leave? Do we dare to dream of Adrian Newey designing red racecars? In NASCAR, Rajah Caruth gets a historic truck win, Kyle Larson does his best Max Verstappen, and Ross Chastain once again wages battle against his old enemy, the pit road speed limit.

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 14:42:46 GMT

On this Vroom Vroom episode, Elizabeth Blackstock, host of Deadly Passions, Terrible Joys, joins Addy, Britt, and Jesse for an episode that would be titled "Dale Earnhardt Daddy Issues" if we wanted to be a little more obtuse. Other possibilities that would have been fun out of context include "The Things That He Says, His Entire Behavior, And His Face," "I'm Not A Semipro Sim Racer, I'm Just A Girl," and "No, Our Car Is Red." But this being Addy's entrance to NASCAR fandom, it felt like a time to go a little more straightforward with an episode title. Do people really read the show notes? If you do, get in touch.
