I gotta do it again because I came in fifth. Because, dude, fuel just gets sucked down. You only get like five, six laps. So you really gotta watch it. So I gotta read that.
SPEAKER_05So listen, they so they put uh so they're putting strategy in the weekly races, but nothing in the daily races.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, nothing in daily races.
SPEAKER_05That makes sense. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, because I'm gonna start going through the directory and start trying to knock out because I haven't finished all those and try to get them all at a hundred. Finish them up.

SPEAKER_07That's a good episode for him.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that's a great episode. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07That worked out.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, it did. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I can't wait for those two. And then I want to try and get Hovercraft on again so we can talk about at the end of his season. See how he thought everything went. So yeah, that's been a great one.
SPEAKER_05I mean, so far, so far, the series is bonkers. Yeah, it's fun. It's completely bonkers. I I mean, it's I am sad I should have joined it. I should have joined it.
SPEAKER_07Yep, we should have. You should have. Dude, Toby wouldn't have it.
SPEAKER_05I mean, it's wow.
SPEAKER_06Oh yeah, Toby would have loved it too.
SPEAKER_07Dude, everyone.
SPEAKER_06Our group. I've put been driving that car, the Red Bull Jr. car, so much since it started that this week, because there was no race, um I tried just doing some time trial and for the dailies. It sucked just to drive just to drive.
SPEAKER_07Right.
SPEAKER_06And I was like over a second off what a pace I should be at. I couldn't drive the other cars. They're like so foreign. It's literally been like a month and a half of this straight Red Bull Jr.
SPEAKER_07I know that's a wild thing. You get so used to one car and you just focus on that. When you go to switch to something else, yeah, it takes a minute to get all back up to speed on stuff. It's wild.
SPEAKER_05Everything just everything changes.
SPEAKER_07Yep. Everything.
SPEAKER_05I know that sounds weird, but it makes sense. But it does.
SPEAKER_07And what do we got this week, Mike, for Red Bull Genius? Because we got a race on this Saturday.
SPEAKER_06Uh yeah, we're gonna be at uh racing the uh Blue Moon infield B. So like literally no breaking. There's like one or two little spots where you're it's just another tough one, but it's and it's fast.
SPEAKER_07And how many laps?
SPEAKER_0674 laps we'll be doing. It's sub it's like sub-50 second lap. Oh shit. Oh my gosh. That there it's uh and uh we'll we'll talk about possible strategies, but it's it's gonna be absolutely insane. Um it's i if nobody makes any major mistakes, it's gonna be bumper to bumper, pretty bumper to bumperish. Um, not a lot of passing area. Right. Yeah, because there's no breaking zones. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be very sick.
SPEAKER_07You don't want to be in the sand slip.
SPEAKER_06If somebody happens to fuck up near the front, coming out of the last corner onto the uh oval, um there could be a pileup. Oh, they told the pile up? Well, yeah, but yeah, coming off that last sector on Blue Moon, it's a very sharp corner. You gotta kinda but you gotta push the limits, which will slide you and slam you into the outside wall onto the the oval track. And if everybody's all close and bumper to bumper, the that hit and the slowdown is gonna go boop-boom boop boom-boom, because there's no ghosting. Nobody's gonna be it's gonna be like this mad chaos trying to avoid. Um might not be. It's nasty. It's gonna cause the the uh the understeer into that wall quite often, I think, if you're not careful.
SPEAKER_07And we thought Tokyo was gonna be rough. This might be the roughest one.
SPEAKER_06Uh it could be, but I think it's gonna be more on just making sure you get your strategy on this one.
SPEAKER_07Like uh Well, you think people are gonna be doing all kinds of moves just because it's big, it's open.
SPEAKER_06It'll be tough for the moves.
SPEAKER_07Um, get the slip, do a pass kind of shit.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, it's gonna be a lot back and forth, I think, in certain spots. And it's gonna be this because it's so wide open straightaways now, there'll be a lot of back and forth, back and forth through the one or two corners.
SPEAKER_07And bump tracking.
SPEAKER_06Yep. And I think uh if you're not really doing that, if you fight, you're in trouble.
SPEAKER_07Right.
SPEAKER_06Especially if you're not near the front.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Well, good thing we have each other.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_07We'll be on con.
SPEAKER_05And uh we need we need Todd to participate because we need as many cards on track as we can get, I think, this week.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, for some practice if we can, Todd.
SPEAKER_06We need as much traffic. We need traffic, a lot of traffic. It's gonna it's a super easy one, so not so easy, but easy. Like to start.
SPEAKER_05If Roland can make it on for a couple of days, that would be cool too. Toby. Yeah, Roland.
SPEAKER_07Toby works a lot.
SPEAKER_04SBR.
SPEAKER_07Oh, that's right. He's got a race coming up.
SPEAKER_04Sunday he's racing round nine Monza Infinity. Wow. Yeah, I think it's uh I don't know how many left. Quite a few. And when's that race? Uh yesterday? It was uh Sunday.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_04So yeah, he's back. That I think that little summer break and everything, so they're back to uh to racing cars.
SPEAKER_05That's that's a fun one too. It is. Especially if you're VR. Because VR leagues are the best.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I want to do that one next time.
SPEAKER_05Everybody go check out VR Racing. VR elitist, that is us. Definitely, yeah, because I mean it's I understand if you get C sick. Totally get that. Totally get that, you know. Although Sean has gotten over it, Jermaine got over it. Totally get the being C sick, but the experience you have and the speed that you actually get. Like, honestly, I know everybody's worried. Well, I'm gonna lose speed. Well, you lose speed when you almost add or do anything. But the amount of speed that you gain back is just I mean, I think it's very perceptible. You know? I mean, yeah, I can go between flat screen and VR pretty easily, but I'm always faster in VR. Always. You just you see everything much better on track. You you can hit your breaking points better. Um it's just it's just a better way to race. It just is. It's just more just so it's just so intense. We love it. Yeah, especially open wheel cars. Oh my gosh, open wheel cars, there's nothing better. Oh. I love you so much. Oh boy. Thanks.
SPEAKER_04Well, um talking to Alexa, just talking about it. We're gonna be getting a new open wheel car soon.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay. So not in this next update we're getting.
SPEAKER_05Oh no, we'll no, it's it's an open yeah, it's an open wheel car. The Caterum seven.
SPEAKER_06Oh long overdue. So a good As soon as I saw that, I was just like, that's what it is. That's what it looks like there to me. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I mean, cool little car. Not not really a race car, but it could be actually it could be really good to do League in. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06I hope I hope that they can balance that the KTM and that and the and the Xbox, like kind of and have all there, because there'd be three of them. Oh, yeah, and have all the track day cars. Well, yeah, have them all balanced to power equal all three of them and have races with them. Yeah, that would be a blast. So just a one make of each, have it balanced enough that all three of them are, you know. Yeah, and you can have a you know, that'd be pretty sick. Are you under water?
SPEAKER_07I was gonna say that.
SPEAKER_05Todd Todd Todd was doing dishes and fucking Todd was doing dishes and dropped his phone in the sink.
SPEAKER_07Ooh, that wouldn't be good. Oh man. Water resistant.
SPEAKER_05Uh-oh, he might he might have lost his earbuds.
SPEAKER_07Oh that's a garbage disposal. Don't flip the flip. Don't flip it. You just hear that. Oh man.
SPEAKER_06Todd yelling because he stuck his hand in trying to get them.
SPEAKER_07My back? Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, because because your your fingers are always close to the to the on-off switch on the garbage disposal when you've got your fingers in there, right? Yeah. As soon as I put my fingers in the garbage disposal, they go directly towards the on-off switch.
SPEAKER_07Dude, what if there's a malfunction just comes out automatically?
SPEAKER_05A malfunction? What is this?
SPEAKER_07I don't know.
SPEAKER_05Final destination?
SPEAKER_07Crazy thoughts. I hate putting my hand in there, man. I don't have one final tour.
SPEAKER_06I don't think I've ever had one.
SPEAKER_05I dropped something in my garbage disposal like a month ago, and I was like, and yes, no matter what, you're like, okay, here we go. Oh, here we go. Don't turn on. Don't turn on. Please. I mean, my fingers aren't my fingers aren't close to the switch. The cats are on the floor. Hollis is somewhere. There's there's no way it's gonna turn on. But goddamn, you always think it.
SPEAKER_07Yo, man, I hope this doesn't turn on. Oh fuck. I don't like it.
SPEAKER_05Oh, it's hilarious. That is hilarious. So uh caterum, that's cool. Totally cool with the caterum. What else do you think we're getting?
SPEAKER_07A bunch of sedans.
SPEAKER_04Oh well.
SPEAKER_07What is it?
SPEAKER_04It's their hybrid or 900.
SPEAKER_05Oh, Hyundai. Uh Hyundai Electric. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I think it's got like 650 brake horsepower. The one thing with Yonda, they they do EV cars pretty good.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. They do. My neighbor's got one. I hate that. Dude, when you put that motherfucker in reverse though, God lord, is it annoying?
SPEAKER_04Does it make a beep?
SPEAKER_05It does. Oh, it's it's not the cool, it's not the cool sounds like sounds like angels are coming from heaven to take you.
SPEAKER_07No. Fucking annoying every time I hear it. I hate it. Dude, I mean I'm gonna have to tell them.
SPEAKER_05I don't even know if he knows. Come on. I was just doodloodling Cowboys from Hell. That would be a great backup on your electricity.
SPEAKER_07Dude, that would be I bet you could do that in a Tesla.
SPEAKER_05Dude, you probably could, yeah. If not, that'd be fun.
SPEAKER_07If not, Elon, make that happen.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_04Exactly. Make an app where you can put whatever soft you want to do.
SPEAKER_05Elon, our richest listener. That's right. Join us. Dude, how cool would that be? That'd be cool to have Elon on. I mean, I would kick the shit out of him over the fucking Cybertruck. I'm sorry. Sorry, Toddy. I know you like the Cybertruck. I can't get over the I mean I saw one yesterday, and right behind it was a Lamborghini Merci Lago in gold mirror. Oh. Like wrapped gold mirror, dude. And they had an exhaust system on it, and it was just howling. I was like, we had stopped the this is crazy, stopped at the Fred Meyer gas station here in Milwaukee and uh not Wisconsin. And the and Hulls is like filling up, and I'm like washing the windows, and I hear this. I'm like, that's I'm like, that's a Lamborghini. That's yep. And in front of it is a stupid cyber truck looking like a cyber truck.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. I saw the Ventador yesterday, a white one. Oh, yeah. Sherwood car show there. Oh.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you went down to that uh Sherwood Care show.
SPEAKER_07I did. It was pretty good. It was pretty good. A lot of old Camaros, 67s, you know. A lot of don't mind being old Camaro. Oh, yeah. They're and they're clean. They're they're built very nice. A lot of them had um like newer V8s in them, all restored. It's like all new seats and a lot of old stuff. But yeah, the eventually.
SPEAKER_05I would rather I honestly 327. Yeah. 327 is where it's at, though.
SPEAKER_07There's a few of those.
SPEAKER_05I mean, I understand. I understand you wanted you want some reliability, but the fucking 327 was a reliable engine. Like and and you don't have to have a computer to work on it.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_07Exactly.
SPEAKER_05You gotta, you gotta tune that carrot for sure.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, it was Chevy Land pretty much at that show. Uh there was um a 93 um import from Japan Supra Mark IV. White. It was nice. Yeah. It was really nice. I like that.
unknownYep.
SPEAKER_05Well I like the fact that uh one of the one of the cars is possibly one of the old Toyotas. Like it's a it's a saloon car, it's a four-door, but it's like iconic in JDM history. Like, oh, Todd did it again, dropped it. Don't turn on the switch, Todd. Don't turn on the switch. Just get your earbud. Don't turn on the switch. Am I back?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, it's called like the Toyota Chaser or something.
SPEAKER_05Something like that. Look like a cool car. Yeah. Look like I would much rather have that than another fucking hybrid SUV. Oh god. Like they're just like, dude, that that need to do that stupid hybrid shit. Ugh. And all you know, it's it's funny because all the manufacturers are realizing nobody wants electric cars.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, they are everyone's pretty much halt all production.
SPEAKER_05Well, again, I don't have a problem with the hybrid. I don't have a problem with the hybrid at all.
SPEAKER_07I think that's the way to go. That's the way to go.
SPEAKER_05Because technically, that's the next step in the evolution of automobiles, would be a hybrid. There's nothing wrong with that. Saves some fuel, adds extra power. You know, it's there's there's nothing wrong with that. Adds instant power. Instant power. And yeah, it's true, you know? So I got no problems with hybrids. And you can still keep your car looking like a car.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, exactly. You know, doesn't get all funky. No. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that's the thing I I mean, although although I I do like the Lexus plaid edition. The plaid? Or not the sorry, not the Lexus, sorry, the fucking Tesla. Oh, yeah. Tesla plaid. They look so good. They do. They really look like that.
SPEAKER_07That's like the Model 3 performance. Looks good.
SPEAKER_05You know, I don't like admitting that.
SPEAKER_07Oh, they did?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's like the mod is it the model cheap?
SPEAKER_07Oh.
SPEAKER_02No, I I I no, I don't think I'm not.
SPEAKER_07You mean the last edition of the of the S? The signature edition or something? Or I know they did like the model Y Long.
SPEAKER_04Maybe that's a just in couple of things.
SPEAKER_07Even that car's not bad looking. I like the rear-end on that one. On the Y. Nice little car. Especially for putting around town.
SPEAKER_05If you're just like, you know, I think the electric cars around town are just fine.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah, it'd be perfect.
SPEAKER_05I don't have problems with electric cars.
SPEAKER_07Especially for my like daughter, if I got one of those for her. Tell her, yeah, you know. Go to Lego, you go work, payments cheap. You know?
SPEAKER_05And I mean, and they do exactly what you need. You're not going a million miles. Nope. Because again, the biggest problem with the hybrid is mileage.
SPEAKER_08Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05You know, when you live when you live in the United States, especially in the western United States, and you don't live in a big city, you gotta travel quite a ways to get to the big city. You do.
SPEAKER_07You do. It's like my sister, she has to travel forty-five minutes just to get into town from where she lives. She lives way the fuck out. Forty, forty acres out in Colorado up in the mountains.
SPEAKER_05You gotta realize I worked, I mean, I lived out in Newburgh. Oh, yeah, and the drive all the way to work inner southeast Portland. That was that's a 25-minute drive. It's a 25-minute drive on a Saturday night. It is anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours any other day. And it's definitely an hour to hour and a half home.
SPEAKER_07Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Yep, once you get off the freeway. Or even getting on the freeway. No, wait, that's on the freeway. And you gotta take 99.
SPEAKER_05Well, well, if you learn the back roads, you don't have to take it.
SPEAKER_07Would you go down to Wilsonville and then cut through backroads?
SPEAKER_05No, no, no. Oh no. Wilsonville getting through Twaltoulin.
SPEAKER_07Oh, dude, it's insane now.
SPEAKER_05Getting through Twalt going through Twalleton and getting close to Wilsonville at any point is a is a parking lot during the week. No, I would go down. I would go down and get off at uh oh, what is that? Like Carmela or something like that, and hop off there and take uh Durham.
SPEAKER_07Durham High School. Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_05Go up there into King City, make a left-hand turn.
SPEAKER_07Get on 99.
SPEAKER_05Get on 99W. Usually you're okay from there, but sometimes I would sometimes I would go sometimes. This is yeah, you know where the uh Walgreens is there in uh Sherwood?
SPEAKER_07Yep.
SPEAKER_05Yep, make a right turn there.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05And go out into the countryside and hit Quarry Road.
SPEAKER_07That's a nice drive.
SPEAKER_05Hit Quarry Road and that drops you right onto 99 W. It dropped me about uh half a mile from the house.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, oh yeah. That's nice.
SPEAKER_05That's real nice.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, because the Wilsonville shit is even worse now. There's two exits in Wilsonville. Two. That is it for the city. And from those exits, it takes f dude, what is it, like two miles through there? Maybe. Yeah. And that motherfucker is backed up for at least ten. At least ten.
SPEAKER_05Dude, it's so uh last Saturday we went to this cool little place called Butteville, and they've got the oldest general store. It's a Saturday afternoon. And traffic is backed up at Wilsonville. For no reason. No reason. There is no reason. It backs up there as soon as you get past Wilsonville and you cross over the river, it clears up.
SPEAKER_07And that's why I don't know.
SPEAKER_05There's literally no reason because there's like nobody getting off of the exits, nobody getting on from the exits.
SPEAKER_07It's like they get to the bridge and they're fucking scared, and it's like, okay, well, there's a bottleneck one at a time.
SPEAKER_05There's no no bottleneck, no nothing. Like it's the weirdest spot. It is. And it just comes to a dead stop. Fucking nuts. And literally you get past it, and it's the same road. Nothing has changed, and it frees up, and everybody's driving it regularly.
SPEAKER_07It's wild how much.
SPEAKER_05But I mean to point out Oregon drivers, I was driving to one work one morning. There was a flash of lightning, and everybody hit their brakes. Like I'm on the freeway. We're doing so we're on the 205, we're doing 65, everybody's cruising along. Lightning flashes, and everybody hits their brakes except for me.
SPEAKER_07Like, well, we gotta stop and watch. We never get to see.
SPEAKER_05We gotta stop. Oh, there was a flash. That was the only flash of lightning because that's all we get here in Portland is one flash of lightning, a roll of thunder, and then nothing else happens. You know. They get excited. They're like, we don't get this here, man. I need to witness it. Portland fucking drivers. Portland drivers are the war zone. They're not as bad as Seattle drivers.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I haven't been up there in a while.
SPEAKER_05Seattle's a war zone. It is every man for yourself.
SPEAKER_07Oh, is it like LA then?
SPEAKER_05Uh not as bad? I'd rather I'd rather drive in LA.
SPEAKER_07Dude, LA, once you're cruising, man, if you can stay cruising, you're good. The only thing I get scared about is the motorcycles fucking dipping in between traffic.
SPEAKER_05Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_07It's insane.
SPEAKER_05Well, this is the thing. It's only legal if it's under, what is it? It's under 15 miles an hour or 20 miles an hour, but they still do it.
SPEAKER_07They still do it at like fucking. They still do it.
SPEAKER_05It'll be 70 miles an hour, but everybody is like, it's like racing dayton, the day on the 500, you know. Everybody's flying along at 70, 80 miles an hour stacked up, and there are bikes flying past them.
SPEAKER_07My worst fear is like when I'm switching lanes down there going 80, I'm like, better look, because if you take one of these guys out, they're dead. They're dead, and I can't live with that.
SPEAKER_05I mean, I don't mind lane splitting at a stoplight.
SPEAKER_07Right, yeah.
SPEAKER_05I don't know how yeah, yeah. You know, a stoplight, yeah, go ahead. Go get past me, not that big a deal.
SPEAKER_07But for a parking lot traffic on the freeway, yeah, go for it. But yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05If we're all stopped, yeah, but everybody's flying along, you know.
SPEAKER_07Everyone's switching fucking lanes.
SPEAKER_04So dude, bikers they'll they'll go cruising 30, 35 miles an hour. And if you're just chilling because you're in fucking bumper-to-bumper traffic, dude, it's startling and chilly. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02God damn. Yeah, they should not. Yeah, they should not be doing that.
SPEAKER_05No, that's that's yeah, that's bullshit. But you gotta remember, I don't know a motorcyclist, and I know there are motorcyclists who who listen. I think JK's one of them. I'm a motorcyclist. Here in the United States, especially, traffic laws don't apply to motorcyclists, apparently. It's the same thing with bicyclists, too. Oh. Dude, I I see as a bicyclist, because I ride from home to work every day. As a bicyclist, I obey the traffic laws because I hate bicyclists. They do.
SPEAKER_07They fucking think they own their fucking road.
SPEAKER_05They think they own the road, they think they can do whatever, they think that nothing applies to them, and it drives me crazy. Drives me crazy. Yes. It's like any other bicycle. Bicycles are allowed on the road.
SPEAKER_00They're changing the bike so much.
SPEAKER_05I'm not going to be able to do that. Well, there's a difference. I drive I ride an actual e-bike. I ride an actual, it's a bicycle with an electric assist. Yep. It's not one of those electric motorcycles.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. If it has a electric motorcycle, it's not going to be street legal anymore if it's just full throttle, it has to have pedal assist.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. And guess what? With my pedal assist, I can go faster than those motorcycles.
SPEAKER_08Yep.
SPEAKER_05If I uh if I go unlimited, but I don't do that because that's illegal. But if I was to open it up all the way, yeah, I could do 45 miles an hour pedaling on my bike. Not a joke.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Well, they're changing it for kids too. You have to be 16 to be able to uh um have like a throttle and pedals. Um Dude, it's the way it should be.
SPEAKER_05I see these kids riding around like maniacs. They're insane, just stupid. They're riding little motorcycles.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. And then yeah, you have to- I sound like an old person right now, no throttle, but it will be battery assisted with pedals. Uh for the city. Which is fine. Yeah. And you got that's okay. Yeah. But full throttle, fucking these kids doing wheelies and shit in the road. Dude, you're gonna die. It's gonna be playing a dangerous thing.
SPEAKER_05I've gotten to the age where that's it's scary watching these kids. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're doing wheelies, they're in the middle of the road, they're just acting like you know, we did when we were kids.
SPEAKER_07Mm-hmm. Well, two in a lot of people.
SPEAKER_05By cracky, that was fine when I was a kid, but oh no.
SPEAKER_07Dude, the cops will give them a ticket or you know, call the parents. And the parents are like, what are you talking about? Like, no, your kid fucked up, own up, whoop your ass, whoop his ass, take the bike away, do something. But no, they don't no consequences. Dude, fuck that, dude. If that was my son, dude.
SPEAKER_05Dude, yeah, I see way too many of them. Well, it's funny because it when I was visiting, when is it Rob, they're huge.
SPEAKER_07Huge dude. Dude, the kids down there are insane.
SPEAKER_05Dude, they they are well, there was a kid who got fucking killed a few weeks ago down there because he was doing a wheelie, doing a wheelie on his fucking electric motorcycle. Went through an intersection. He, of course, had a stop sign, the other cars didn't, and well, guess what? And everybody was like, oh, poor, you know, Hunter or some stupid Southern Californian name. Oh, poor no, not poor kid. He's a stupid kid who got who got what he was asking for.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, they think they're still.
SPEAKER_05Dude, you play stupid games, shit happens. We were all kids, we all thought that.
SPEAKER_07Oh, yeah, you know. Oh yeah.
unknownYep.
SPEAKER_04These are the opinions of Jimbo and don't reflect on the DGG problem.
SPEAKER_05I I mean, I remember being a stupid kid. Man, I thought they were no consequences. I almost died a couple of times, too. I did a I did a fucking drift in a in a 1985, 1986 Thunderbird at about 120 miles an hour in the rain.
SPEAKER_07Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_05And uh, yeah, yeah, I was 16 or 17.
SPEAKER_03Was it a turboop or was it a 5-0?
SPEAKER_05It was the Alan. It was the Alan with the 5-0. Ooh, nice. It was it was it sounded really good too. And I mean, it was sort of fast. It wasn't really fast. I mean, those cars weighed a ton. Yeah, they did. But I mean, it was a fun car, but yeah, I mean, it like I'm doing a hundred, hundred and twenty miles an hour, and I'm turning, and suddenly the rear end is like, yeah, I'm gonna go this way. Oh man. Just you your stomach sinks, and you think, I'm fucking dying right now. I am I am going to die at this moment. And somehow you get through it and you fucking forget about it.
SPEAKER_07Yep. A couple months later, yep. Don't even doesn't even cross your mind.
SPEAKER_09Yep.
SPEAKER_07Now when you get older, fuck, dude. Dude, everything's like, it's knocking out that door quickly. So you gotta be careful.
SPEAKER_05Oh boy. Yeah, you do. You do. You're a lot more careful, that's for sure. Yep. So uh didn't race any races this last week, played Battlefield. Do we have anything going on this next week that might be interesting?
SPEAKER_00Anything?
SPEAKER_05Um Red Bull.
SPEAKER_06Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05So Red Bull Red Bull Juniors are gonna be interesting interesting race. What about uh dailies?
SPEAKER_06Yeah, what about dailies? Um well, interesting enough. Daily A is our favorite meme race. Um special state root X on the sports softs. Probably the group with nitrous cars. Um one lap probably.
SPEAKER_05Actually, that is almost always a fun race. It is. Yeah. As long as there's no DRSR, that is a fun race.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. And if it is, it's most likely no SRDR. Yeah, because that's the way they do it for that. I can't see any other other than that with the nitrous for that track. Um uh Daily B, we're going to Fuji International Speedway. Uh race mediums, uh, probably five lap race, and it's probably gonna be group three.
SPEAKER_07Okay.
SPEAKER_06Okay. And then we're going to be for C, we are going to Grand Valley Highway One. Uh Racing Mediums and Racing Soft Tires available, fuel times two, tires times four.
SPEAKER_07Um Is that gonna be the Red Bull competition, like the time trial?
SPEAKER_06It could be. It could be. Um That's what I was thinking. Just that's why I said three for food. Did you say is it reverse or regular? Regular. That could be fun. It's regular. Um we just had the similar thing, I think, for nations as well.
SPEAKER_07Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that was reverse. Oh, was it? Okay. I mean, I don't like that track, but I like the I like the it actually moved pretty good around there. I don't like the I don't like the reverse. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I don't like racing on that track. I like driving that track because it's uh very well done. I just don't like racing on it.
SPEAKER_07So that might be.
SPEAKER_06It could be group two there. Oh. Have they done that? I mean they that could be. I doubt it. I doubt I doubt it too.
SPEAKER_07I think it's a good one. Group two would work.
SPEAKER_06I think yeah, I'm more likely, but if they do group two, I think group two would work really well there.
SPEAKER_07Dude, that would be fun. Yeah, they've never done that before.
SPEAKER_05So yeah, but remember, that would be fun.
SPEAKER_07It would be fun. I'm just gonna put it that way.
SPEAKER_06That would be fun. Yeah, the problem is I'm not gonna be able to do any of these because until maybe next Sunday because I will be focusing on the Red Bull Jr. for the full week. Yeah. Even though I think I got I think it's just now it's you get really gotta fine-tune. Um, so anybody that else is doing this that listens to us from the Red Bull Jr. and extravaganza, um time in the seat for this one. Very, very much so it's important. You need to be fluid. Yeah. So I'll be doing that all week.
SPEAKER_05Yep, I'll be doing that all week. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, that'll be an open week.
SPEAKER_05I got Hollis is Hollis is going out and doing all sorts of shit this week, so I will be available all week long.
SPEAKER_07Oh, excellent, excellent. So it's gonna work out. Because then yeah, we got this coming weekend, we also have on Saturday the uh World Series in Tokyo.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, World Series Tokyo.
SPEAKER_07So that'll be interesting to watch. You guys do your own.
SPEAKER_05Have you heard these weird theories? Have you heard these weird theories that they're pre-recording it?
SPEAKER_07Uh-uh.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I was uh I forget if I was on Twitter or Instagram and somebody was like, Yeah, it's gonna be pre-recorded. We found out from such and such a source that it's all pre-recorded now. Oh now again, this is just a rumor that I heard on the internet. So the likelihood of it being real is why like that's it.
SPEAKER_06There's no issue reason why. It's not like you can like real time cheap and help anybody or like for any security issues. It's not like they're gonna have bomb threats for a fucking video game.
SPEAKER_05Uh yeah, no, it doesn't no, that just doesn't make any sense why they would do it. I think I think like, I mean, we're we're we we're part of this too. We love our rumors. We're like we're like women when it comes to gossip. We like race gossip though.
SPEAKER_09Jimbo.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, Todd Bow, too. Sorry, Todd Bow. He's he got he likes the gossips too. Yeah, so well oh uh what did you hear?
SPEAKER_03What did you hear? Toto in India last week. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Oh George. What's what's happening? Yeah. Uh oh George. Could be something else. But yeah. Cooking it up. Toto Max.
SPEAKER_05You think Max? I thought Max was married, and so is Toto. Oh, hooking up like that. Getting together to race. Yeah, right. Exercising his right to um possibly leave Red Bull and his I mean honestly, I mean, him going to Mercedes is a pretty good one, but I mean Jean-Pierre Lambiase is going to McLaren. Oh, huh? But here's the thing, he's not going to McLaren as an engineer. He's going to McLaren as a driver. Yes, Jean-Pierre Lambiassi, new driver for McLaren.
SPEAKER_09Well, everybody first.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Max has been a Red Bull forever, but everybody's almost gone that he knows. Yeah. You know. There's always a lot of people.
SPEAKER_05Well, and I mean he does have those engineers that listen to him.
SPEAKER_06I believe they've already defunked on the uh performance clause for let the that lets him get out of it. Oh, yeah, the the performance clause is gone. Yeah, so he can technically leave whenever he wants now without any error any uh anything bad against him. Yep. Yep, yep, yep.
SPEAKER_05And I mean, honestly, when you again, engineers are a certain type of person. Well, the numbers say this. That I mean, Max is saying that that's not real, though. Those those numbers aren't right. But our numbers say, and the car performs not the way our numbers say, and huh? Like, you're gonna take Max Verstappen, three-time champion, four-time champion, whatever he is, and ignore him. Right. And and just think that what he's telling you is not happening because the numbers don't say so. You guess what? You just opened yourself up to lose him. Big time. It's not like he's lying. Yeah, he's telling, guess what, guys? He's telling you exactly what's going on with the car, and you're not listening. You know, it used to be it used to be that the engineers and the mechanics wanted to hear what the driver was saying. So they could correlate the information.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_05You know, in fact, drivers that didn't want to talk with the mechanics and engineers were looked down upon.
SPEAKER_07And they lost out big time, too.
SPEAKER_05And they lost out big time because they didn't get the setups they actually needed because they wouldn't spend the time. Read Jensen Button's book. Just gonna say read Jensen Button's book.
SPEAKER_07You know, this fall I'm gonna listen to it again.
SPEAKER_05Dude, it's so good. It's good. You know. Why not to why not to buy a yacht, let alone two? Yeah. Good lord. Oh. Taking his buddies out on his yacht and they're all pulling money together to help pay for fuel. He's like, he's like, don't, don't worry, guys. I've I've got this, don't worry. Because it was $2,500 in fuel at that time, and you know, that was long.
SPEAKER_07Dude.
SPEAKER_05God damn. $2,500 just to go from wherever they were to the next port, from Monaco to the Amalfi coast or whatever, or Saint Tropez. Yeah. Yeah, we'll kick in. Don't worry, mate. We'll kick in. No, no.
SPEAKER_00Never own a boat. Never. No.
SPEAKER_05Best two days of owning a boat. Yeah. The day you buy it, the day you sell it. That's right.
SPEAKER_04You know what boat stands for? Break out another thousand. Oh, yeah, break out another thousand.
SPEAKER_07Jesus.
SPEAKER_05You know what a boat is? It's a hole in the water that you throw money into. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Fuck that. I'd rather have a car to dump money into. That'd be way better. Um, there was another rumor. Did you guys hear this one? Sergio Perez talking with Williams to take over for Carlos. Because I think he may be dipping out.
SPEAKER_05Really? Well, they better watch out for Albon, too. Nobody's happy at Williams. Yeah, dude. I mean, both those guys are shot a shit car.
SPEAKER_04They do.
SPEAKER_05No, they have a they have a horrible car. And I feel bad for James Vows because I don't think he knows why the hard car is so horrible.
SPEAKER_07Right.
SPEAKER_05You got the best engine. You've got the best. Well he's what, Photo's Protege? Like he knows what he's doing. I just wonder what's going on inside the group of people that he has. Because he just seems super frustrated, too. He has no clue why why it's not working.
SPEAKER_04Again, but let's be real. That last race, seven cars finish on the league. Yeah. Um there's a lot of bad cars. A lot. Like 13 of them are bad.
SPEAKER_05Well, depending on the weekend, yeah. Depending on the weekend for sure. I mean, how many how many are.
SPEAKER_07How many cars went out?
SPEAKER_05There were like five cars that didn't finish. But the Aston, the Aston is looking better. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Well they have a horse.
SPEAKER_05But you look at look at where they went, though. They went from two seconds, two to three seconds behind Cadillac to finishing lower mid-pack. Yeah. Like it was a huge, huge, like they blew past the Cadillacs and the Williams. Lance Stroll actually did better. That's that guy right there. I don't understand why. Right. I honestly don't understand why he's in the sport still.
SPEAKER_04But again, for the pinnacle, quote unquote. Every car should finish on the lead last. There shouldn't be cars getting fucking left in F1. I'm sorry. Well, hopefully. But that's always that's one thing.
SPEAKER_05That's always been a part of F1, though, too. It's always been a part of F1.
SPEAKER_03I know, but it it shouldn't.
SPEAKER_05No, I'm not I'm not I'm not saying it should, but that's always been a part of F1.
SPEAKER_06It is like it is money, but right now it's just brains. Yeah, for a lot more. Nobody knows what to do with the cars, because all the stupidness of them. And then with you got obviously your budget cap, and it just because people are so what to do, what to do, people are just making the really bad decisions in the lower lower ranked teams.
SPEAKER_05Well, and then next year's car is supposed to be considerably different. It's supposed to be they want to go with 80 80 kilos lighter. That's like 175 pounds or something like that, lighter, which is great. That's wonderful. But but they like they have changed the who are they talking to? Oh, it's James Vallas they were talking to uh a couple races ago, and he was the one who spilled the beans that the arrow and car regulations are gonna be significantly different from this year. Like, like basic same shape of the car, but aerodynamically is gonna be a lot different.
SPEAKER_07Uh hopefully I don't screw with that too much to where they can't follow closely.
SPEAKER_05Dude, that's one of my favorite things is how uh how long they can follow without their tires going off or their brakes overheating. Like that's that's they have designed that they have designed the cars to do what they should be doing and downtune the engines to do what they shouldn't be doing. Oh, that's what they need. Like that's the thing. The cars themselves are great, the engines are just garbage.
SPEAKER_07Too much electrical power they rely on. I'm not enough motor. We can turn those babies up. Let's turn down the electrical assist and let's do some motors.
SPEAKER_05Uh anybody watch uh Road America last week?
SPEAKER_07Uh I think I caught the end of it.
SPEAKER_05I yes, I watched I watched the entire thing. So if you watched it. Number one, what was Jack Aiken thinking? Number two, should Kevin Estra get a huge penalty or fine for what he did to Jack Aiken. Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah. Like, like that was bright.
SPEAKER_04That took him out completely. Yep. Yeah, going into turn six, coming out of the corner, up into turn six. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_05No, turn one. No, it's turn one. They are flying down the street into turn one. Jack Aiken made a move to the outside, and Kevin Estra didn't just shut the door. He pushed his car off track. And they both ended up not finishing. Ooh.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_04What am I thinking of?
SPEAKER_05Who was thinking about Porsche versus Caddy? No, yeah, that was Porsche versus Caddy. That was um that was Philippe Nasser, and I forget who was in. It might have been, no, it wasn't. No, it might have been Louis Deltre. No, it wasn't Louis Delatrez. I don't remember who was in the Cadillac. But yeah, hit the back, hit the back of the Porsche, but the again, the Porsche was trying to close the door. And just yeah, he ended up getting uh rear bodywork damage and uh no penalty happening to uh to the Cadillac. Because it was obvious that he just was he just like didn't just shut the door, he like slammed the door shut on a car that was directly behind him. It like like the Porsche's were drivers were driving almost out of control. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and that's a track that needs to be in this game. Oh, yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_06That would be I'll be honest after watching it on the week this some of the stuff this weekend, the uh the Portland.
SPEAKER_05That course Oh, the Portland track is a lot of fun.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, that's a great track. It it looks like it is a good track. Like the more I watch the races there, it's like, damn, that that looks pretty pretty good. Dude, the the last corner complex races this week.
SPEAKER_05Dead air. The last corner complex at Portland is awesome because it's a quick left, better break, get into that long right hander and try to get your exit point, your acceleration point right. Dude, so much fun. Dude, that is fun. That's really fun. So much it was so much fun when Todd and I went to cart or uh Sean and I went to Cartcade. Yeah and did that track, and I just beat the shit out of Sean.
SPEAKER_07Who I had no brakes.
SPEAKER_05You had no. Yeah, we need to talk with dude and tell him he needs to upgrade his brake system.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, there was no brakes. The brake would not work.
SPEAKER_05Because he had the V3s, but he only had the sponge in it. He didn't have the upgraded brake kit, so there's nothing there. You gotta push so hard to try to get anything dude.
SPEAKER_07It was insane.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Yep. It wasn't that, yeah. It wasn't because remember when we went into the Formula One cars?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_05What do we go into next? We switched, we switched rig to Yeah.
SPEAKER_07It was, yeah, in the F1s. I went in the motion.
SPEAKER_05Oh, the old F1s, yeah. Yep. The motion's a lot of fun. I mean, it's not like it's not I I didn't like the fact that the footbox, though, wasn't part of the motion. Yeah. It sort of took you out of it a little bit. A little bit.
SPEAKER_07Dude, I like the Mosa motion. That's looking pretty sweet. More videos I watch on that. Three grand. Right? It's not bad. Not bad for some.
SPEAKER_05Will it integrate into the PS5?
SPEAKER_07That I don't know. I would say probably.
SPEAKER_04I would think eventually, yeah. I think eventually it will, yes. So that'll be.
SPEAKER_05Like if it will if it will integrate into the PS5, that would be that would be a cool upgrade. It would be.
SPEAKER_04Well, again, you got two million monthly users. Grand Turismo. What does iRacing have? 11,000?
SPEAKER_05Well, that's it. Again. Again, yeah, because you're paying $110 a year.
SPEAKER_06Could be more slack group for sure.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah. Like $110 a year, and you still have to buy tracks and cars.
unknownDamn.
SPEAKER_05So I'm not sure. And just think, we would be willing to buy tracks and cars for a race we already paid or for a game we already paid for. I'm I am I am so willing to be able to buy the cars and tracks that are offered by Gran Turismo.
SPEAKER_07That'd be nice.
SPEAKER_05People are like, well, that's pay-for-play. Well, you know, for again, for people like us who want to race.
SPEAKER_07You don't want to.
SPEAKER_05Again, it's it's like buying the it's like buying the power pack.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Todd's missing out on the power pack because he doesn't want to, but he doesn't realize what he's missing out on. The power pack is great. Sophie is great. Sophie's really good. Sophie is good.
SPEAKER_07I like Sophie.
SPEAKER_09Do it! Yeah, yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER_05But yeah, I mean it's it'd be.
SPEAKER_04But iRacing has 350,000 sim racers worldwide. iRacing has an estimated 2,700 to 9600 daily players in August of 2026.
SPEAKER_06Um MMO I saw a short of a guy on iRacing, and he was racing, and it was like right in the last lap. He was in first place, and the game fucking basically crashes on him, and a pop-up comes up, your subscription has expired. That would suck, and it's like that can't really be real. They can't just they they would would they they they wouldn't just do that. Mid race would instantly cut.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, not even mid-race like that.
SPEAKER_04This is saying July 2026 they had fifty-four thousand. Um and same in August 54,000 compared to Grand Turismo, which has two million.
SPEAKER_06You know what's really funny is you get 54,000 for a daily. You know what I mean? Like, so Grand Turismo has a lot more. And it's just like, but look at iRacing. You have 54 55,000, 60,000 people a month on the fucking thing, yet you have 10,000 different races. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? How like so how do they do that? Yeah, they're getting paid, so they're they can just have the servers and shit like that because they're making money off of it. But if they can do that with like little to no users, why the fuck can't Grand Turismo give us like a daily D or a fucking weekly fucking tournament, you know, kind of thing on the Sunday or Saturday afternoon? Like, there's no reason. I get like it it shows right there. Just to throw one little extra race here and there, or a fucking uh a fucking game that fucking has as much as one of your daily races in a week. You know what I mean? It can do a million different races. Yeah, yeah. Like what what you get in a week, they get in a month, and you can't even do one extra race. It's kind of bullshit to me.
SPEAKER_05Again, though, there are only 10 to 15% of us are the ones that are racing online.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. Yeah, true, but even then that's still more than them. Yeah, it is. If it's two million fucking people a month, 200 plus thousand, yeah. Yeah, exactly. You know, you can see it in the dailies. There's over a hundred thousand different different people in the dailies in a week. You know what I mean? Like, give us one, just one fucking race once in a while. And it doesn't have to be every day. Give it like we've said before, give it like daily daily on the weekends, Saturday, Sundays. Yeah. There's a fucking endurance race. Or there's a uh uh a Toyota Cup style race every other Sunday, you know, or something like that. Like not just this bullshit. We get a couple yeah, we get a couple races for a couple weeks and then we get nothing for six months.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_06You know, it's it's it is rather shit. Like, oh well, we don't do we do the World Series in uh every so often. Yeah. Well you have those servers sitting idle. Use those servers for the the weekly special. You know. Oh, that'd be great.
SPEAKER_07That would be nice. That would be nice.
SPEAKER_05Well and again, we bitch so much about this game because we love this game. It can be so much better. We're just getting what four cars in the FDA.
SPEAKER_07No tracks.
SPEAKER_06Um what I have a question, not necessarily for that, but uh the new cars. What was the remember in the the the LA Live event? Right? What was that BMW that was there? The race car that was not new, new, but it was you know I mean that they had, but would have been new to the game, like that people were anticipating.
SPEAKER_05Oh no, that M4. I think it's the M4. Yeah.
SPEAKER_07That thing was sick. We should be getting that prelude.
SPEAKER_06I'm I'm I'm I'm confused a little bit because of one car uh of sorts, because I know the chat that is in the front, and then you got the the Hyundai is in the upper left, because you can tell from the front end on those uh uh their EV style kind of cars. Um but up in the upper right of that thing in the silhouettes, if you zoom in on the front end of it, it's draped over the front end, and you can see it looks like the kidney grills. The top of them. And the bumper sticks out a little bit like an aftermarket race kit. It has a little bit of wide body on the front and a very small spoiler like a group 4 car has.
SPEAKER_04And then the others on a Mark II touring V.
SPEAKER_06Okay, that might be what yeah, but like that that front end, like it like when you look at the grill, cause the rest of it it's hard to say, but that grill, if you look at it, it kind of has that like it is draped and and sunken in at the top, like two kidney grills. Of like an older like early 2000s kind of BMW. Could be wrong, obviously, but it just it's I'm looking at it, it's just like that's strange. I'm trying to think of another manufacturer that has that style front end that would have something similar to that.
SPEAKER_04Apparently it's Toyota. Because we're getting two cars from that. So we'll know Thursday. And then do you think after TTWS we get uh new manu and nations or no?
SPEAKER_07Um yes, I think we will. I think in the next one in September is when the new one will drop. September. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Within yeah. When's the next event after Tokyo? Did they say that?
SPEAKER_07Uh it's 5th, early September.
SPEAKER_06All right. Because it's really they're doing it though. So they'll do it in between now and then.
SPEAKER_05Wait a second. So we've got the 15th.
SPEAKER_07Oh no, it's October. I think Singapore's October. So there's nothing in September.
SPEAKER_06I thought it was November, but okay. Are you sure it's not November? So they could be in the next couple weeks having something start. Yeah, that that's what I freaking they will probably just make your picks.
