1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: It is the best, the elite of motor sports, the

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: thing that everyone is aiming for. The stakes are so

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: incredibly high it doesn't scare you. Then it's not veg enough.

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: From my Heart Radio and Sports Illustrated Studios, this is

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: choosing sides one. Wow. Formula one is much more than

6
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: a car race. It merges together man and machine in

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: a rich people's playground where the line between life and

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: death is razor thin. WHOA, this is off to a

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: dramatic start. I'm selling it right. Putting aside all of

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: the theatrics, Formula one has captivated billions of people worldwide

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: over the past seventy two years. However, it's only now

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: gaining a serious foothold in the States. But even if

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: you've already started watching F one, you might still be

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: missing the nuances, the history, and the teams. I ask

15
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: you this, do you even have a favorite driver? That's

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: where we come in. I'm Willie Herman, a walking pop

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: culture encyclopedia and Formula one expert, and I'm Michael Costa, comedian,

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: former pro tennis player, current Daily Show correspondent. And I'm

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest here, I have not seen five

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: seconds of a Formula one race, Lily, What the heck

21
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: am I doing here? Well, you're in the right place, Michael,

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: because by the time we're done here, you'll not only

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: be an F one whiz, but you'll be ready to

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: declare your loyalty to a team and a driver. Who

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: are these drivers? Rich kids? I'm very interested in the steering?

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Is it just men when they say box? Does that

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: mean pit daddy issues? Daddy issues galore. We'll get into

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: the rules, technology and on track rivalry. Shut up, but

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: we'll also get into the salacious stories you need to

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: know to truly understand the sport. Jesus witness, intimidation and conspiracy.

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: We are off to a great start. By the end

32
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: of our time together, Michael will pick his team and driver.

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: He seems like a whiny over ACTI team principle, and

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: hopefully you will too. I am willing to be convinced.

35
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm willing to to become a fan of the sport.

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: But if I don't just give that away, listen to

37
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: Choosing Sides F one on the I Heart radio app,

38
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Is that

39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: what they say in the podcast? Bas I'm a TV

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: guy I don't know,
