SPEAKER_01
But if this is a bad distraction, I can turn it off.
0
SPEAKER_01
Because it s probably going to be a distraction.
0
SPEAKER_00
Let me ask you, how good do you think you re going to be in an interview where you re also watching TV?
0
SPEAKER_00
Let alone serve across.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh my God, too, and you re shirtless.
0
SPEAKER_00
What could be more perfect?
0
SPEAKER_00
Hello, ladies.
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, by the way, I m only doing this interview with you because there s a little bit of a commitment to you as a friend.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t ever ask you about F1 in our real life.
0
SPEAKER_00
All right.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m trying to minimally, how am I dealing?
0
SPEAKER_00
No, no, you re good.
0
SPEAKER_00
But because I, I have a little bit of a code, uh, oh my God, by the way, the thing I put you through, I remember one race, I hit you up.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t even know if you did good or bad.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just remember sending you a message on a race weekend and then
0
SPEAKER_00
After sending in, I had this whole spiral about how annoying it must be like to be at a race weekend, focus so hard on this thing, whatever other shit you re battling.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then you get your fucking old man, buddy in LA popping in with some two cents.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then I sent you the longest apology.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then your response was just, it relieved everything because you were laughing so hard at the whole tailspin I had done over it.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
It was, it was, uh, it cracked me up, but like, it s that sort of stuff s refreshing.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I think we ve, we touched on it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
An armchair.
0
SPEAKER_01
I think, yeah, it was on there.
0
SPEAKER_01
I was not sure if it was over that or in person, but yeah, we did.
0
SPEAKER_01
And, uh, when you re having a weather, I mean, a good weekend, of course, it s nice to get messages, but also like a more of a difficult weekend competitive wise.
0
SPEAKER_01
Like it s nice just to have someone who s still.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
I just showing their love or checking in or cracking a joke.
0
SPEAKER_01
Like it s, I can t totally fine.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s what I couldn t settle on whether, I mean, I just went personally, like when I do, when I m not doing good at something, my dream is that nobody witnessed it.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I was like, I m going to pretend I haven t seen the races that you didn t perform top-notch in.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then I just caught the ones that you were great in.
0
SPEAKER_00
But anyways, I say all that to say, like, this is now I get to ask you a bunch of questions that I wouldn t in real life.
0
SPEAKER_00
So this whole thing is just a ploy for me to get you to talk about Formula One, which I try to avoid.
0
SPEAKER_01
You re very respectful.
0
SPEAKER_00
When we re riding dirt bikes, it s just dirt bikes.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh, we have some fun on those dirt bikes, don t we?
0
SPEAKER_00
We got to give a shout out to Clay because he s got the, just the dream playground for us and so generous and has bikes waiting and.
0
SPEAKER_01
It s everything I m trying to build out in Australia on my farm and just have like, you know, as you get to Clay s and the bikes are lined up and it s just.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yep, jump on whatever one and let s just go.
0
SPEAKER_01
And I just, I love that.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m trying to still like hold in laughter because I, I m thinking about when Blake went up one of the hills, like Blake had fallen probably 14 times already.
0
SPEAKER_01
He made it not even halfway up.
0
SPEAKER_01
And you, you said something which cracked me up, like you got off one exit too soon or something.
0
SPEAKER_00
And just the way you said it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
Like we re supposed to be supporting him and we re just riffing the absolute piss out of him.
0
SPEAKER_00
So in general from the outside I m seeing like you did that really cool video when you guys were down in Melbourne for the team for Red Bull I was caught between watching I think also cool He s driving across a bit and then another part of me is like I bet it s bumpy as a motherfucker Driving through dirt in it and all that stuff.
0
SPEAKER_00
What was the driving experience like and
0
SPEAKER_01
I m going to break something too.
0
SPEAKER_01
Um, so it wasn t you, not, not all of it.
0
SPEAKER_01
It was, it was a professional, don t get me wrong.
0
SPEAKER_01
I mean, that was a proper extended trip and I just couldn t with schedule and even like simulator and stuff like that.
0
SPEAKER_01
So yeah, for parts of it, it was like other Red Bull drivers and athletes who were, who were taking part.
0
SPEAKER_01
But, um, I have to kind of say that because like people like, Oh, you re in Australia or here and you didn t even hit us up.
0
SPEAKER_01
I m like, Oh.
0
SPEAKER_01
I wasn t always there.
0
SPEAKER_00
Right, right.
0
SPEAKER_00
But it was cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
Imagine that shoe was weeks and weeks.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Right?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s not like you could have possibly have done all of it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
Okay, so that I will say, like, as you mentioned, just briefly, like, the way they mean, obviously, it was it did happen.
0
SPEAKER_01
And the way it was kind of all then put together, it was pretty cool.
0
SPEAKER_01
So going back to Red Bull now, and being back in that family, I m reminded of
0
SPEAKER_01
how much cool shit they do.
0
SPEAKER_00
The coolest.
0
SPEAKER_00
All of the coolest shit, right?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_01
And even you have an idea and you just share that idea within the family and something normally comes through with that, like from that idea.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, what is your own personal tolerance for being a passenger in this shit?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like if they tried to send you up in the crazy airplane or the fucking loop-de-loop helicopter, what do you say when you re offered that?
0
SPEAKER_01
The older I get, the less I say yes.
0
SPEAKER_01
But I m torn because I m, in a way, the older I get, the more I want to say yes to things and experience things, especially if you have the privilege of being in a situation where you can experience something awesome, then I m definitely trying to, even if I m scared shitless, I m trying to encourage myself to say yes.
0
SPEAKER_01
But
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, so maybe in something that I don t understand as well, say like a plane or whatever, maybe I ll just be like, close my eyes and like, yeah, this guy knows what he s doing.
0
SPEAKER_01
But like a car, me being a passenger in a car, it s tough.
0
SPEAKER_01
I just know too much in terms of like, I m not, yeah, like I just, I know too much to be scared.
0
SPEAKER_00
To air our personal stuff.
0
SPEAKER_00
I once drove you kind of far to Clay s house.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I had a whole talk with myself on the way over.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m like, you re going to drive very slow because he s going to be really afraid.
0
SPEAKER_00
You re going to try to show him what a good driver you are right now.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I was very, very well behaved.
0
SPEAKER_00
On the way there, you were.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh.
0
SPEAKER_00
Was I not on the way home?
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I was just so tired.
0
SPEAKER_00
I forgot to, I lost my willpower.
0
SPEAKER_00
There was nothing at speed.
0
SPEAKER_00
There was like a little bit of smoke for the fans.
0
SPEAKER_00
Well, we did, we were next to another Hellcat on the highway and that s just code.
0
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
They would have alerted the Dodge community if I hadn t done that and they would have come taken the car for me.
0
SPEAKER_00
So.
0
SPEAKER_01
Well, there was something I want to say, whether it was on the way there or on the way back, but I remember even if you weren t going fast, there was maybe a way you took a corner or it was how you were kind of holding the wheel.
0
SPEAKER_01
But I remember seeing something and it gave me a lot more trust.
0
SPEAKER_01
I was like, if he does try to impress me,
0
SPEAKER_01
I think I m okay with it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I thought you were going the complete opposite way.
0
SPEAKER_00
I thought I was about to hear like, yeah, there s one time that I was like, why is he holding the fucking wheel like that?
0
SPEAKER_00
He s going to break his wrists.
0
SPEAKER_01
No, I honestly do recall like feeling a bit more comfort.
0
SPEAKER_00
I hate being a passenger.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just hate it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And in fact, I ve been offered to go in that Red Bull helicopter and stuff.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I m like, I just don t, I can t, I m too, I m too much of a control freak.
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh, but all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
This crosses my mind too.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I m not you.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s got to be three X for you.
0
SPEAKER_00
Here would be my fear.
0
SPEAKER_00
If I was you, I m going to get in the helicopter with this dude.
0
SPEAKER_00
And he s going to be like, all right, well, I got to give him an extra crazy ride.
0
SPEAKER_00
Cause he s nuts.
0
SPEAKER_00
Does that cross your mind?
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like the guys, you know, whatever his, his fucking ranges, he s going to go like 4% out of it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Cause you re there.
0
SPEAKER_01
That s where, yeah, I, I m very, I try to be very honest and just, just tell them like, you don t like, it s cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
You don t need to do too much.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m a very scared person.
1
SPEAKER_00
I may do this sort of stuff, but trust me, I m a bit of a wuss.
