WEBVTT - This is... "Choosing Sides: F1"

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>It is the best, the elite of motor sports, the

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>thing that everyone is aiming for. The stakes are so

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.159
<v Speaker 1>incredibly high it doesn't scare you. Then it's not veg enough.

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>From my Heart Radio and Sports Illustrated Studios, this is

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>choosing sides one. Wow. Formula one is much more than

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a car race. It merges together man and machine in

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a rich people's playground where the line between life and

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>death is razor thin. WHOA, this is off to a

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>dramatic start. I'm selling it right. Putting aside all of

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the theatrics, Formula one has captivated billions of people worldwide

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>over the past seventy two years. However, it's only now

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>gaining a serious foothold in the States. But even if

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you've already started watching F one, you might still be

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>missing the nuances, the history, and the teams. I ask

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you this, do you even have a favorite driver? That's

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>where we come in. I'm Willie Herman, a walking pop

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>culture encyclopedia and Formula one expert, and I'm Michael Costa, comedian,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>former pro tennis player, current Daily Show correspondent. And I'm

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>just gonna be honest here, I have not seen five

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>seconds of a Formula one race, Lily, What the heck

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 1>am I doing here? Well, you're in the right place, Michael,

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>because by the time we're done here, you'll not only

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>be an F one whiz, but you'll be ready to

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>declare your loyalty to a team and a driver. Who

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>are these drivers? Rich kids? I'm very interested in the steering?

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Is it just men when they say box? Does that

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>mean pit daddy issues? Daddy issues galore. We'll get into

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the rules, technology and on track rivalry. Shut up, but

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>we'll also get into the salacious stories you need to

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>know to truly understand the sport. Jesus witness, intimidation and conspiracy.

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>We are off to a great start. By the end

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>of our time together, Michael will pick his team and driver.

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>He seems like a whiny over ACTI team principle, and

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you will too. I am willing to be convinced.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to to become a fan of the sport.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>But if I don't just give that away, listen to

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.200

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 1>what they say in the podcast? Bas I'm a TV

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>guy I don't know,
