8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: like to call you.

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 3: How are you?

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. So explain this how this exploded

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: in the United States? When and how did Formula one

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: all of a sudden become important in our lives.

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 4: I'll take you back to two thousand and five, June

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: the nineteenth, two thousand and five, my birthday, which is

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 4: why I remember this day, and it was one of

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 4: the worst days in Formula one history because that was

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: when we raced at Indianapolis with only six cars if

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 4: you remember, the cars withdrew on the formation lap because

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: the tires, the mission and tires weren't holding out and

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 4: we hit a new low. And since then, Formula one

21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 4: has been right. How do we give back to the

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 4: America and public and actually make this sport a bit

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: more accessible in such a great country. So, first and foremost,

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: liberty media when they got the Commercial Rise, decided we

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: needed more races in the States and we needed to

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: move away through it from Indianapolis, which is great and

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 4: the Indy five hundred, it is a marvelous event. But

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: let's have another track, and let's have a track that

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 4: we can really call our own KTA Circuit of the Americas.

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: In Austin.

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: I know, if you guys have ever been to Austin,

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: you look like you've partied in Austin just a.

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: Couple of times. Not yourself, Dan, You know you've got

34
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 3: to bed early.

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: Yes, you're in charge, right, Yes.

36
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 4: So we go and party in Austin, and everyone comes

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 4: to Austin because it's a racist track.

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: It's a brilliant circuit.

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 4: The fans love it, and we pack out and take

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 4: over Austin for the US Grand Prix.

41
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: But that's not enough.

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: We need glamour, we need a bit of sex appeal.

43
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: We go to Miami where all the cool people hang out. Yeah, yeah,

44
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: where Marvin hangs out, right, But not yourself, Dan, because

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: you go to bed early. And then we think, right, okay,

46
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 4: that's good. We've got East Coast sorted out, We've got

47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: Texas sorted out.

48
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: We've probably need another race.

49
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 4: And where would you want to go and race in

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: the States if you've already.

51
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: Got the best of the best.

52
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: Where you go to the Las Vegas right where we

53
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: know you come a pasty And that's why you're here

54
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,480

00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: And we're not going to be you know, don't know,

56
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: there's too much to.

57
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: Me and Pitbull. We're not going to bed, just letting

58
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: you know.

59
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: Okay, do we all get an invite to that one?

60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: You've got tickets for everyone Friday night?

61
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: Friday night?

62
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pitbull, yeah, yeah, yeah, and me and the boys

00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: yeah done. Yeah.

64
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: Before then, of course we're going qualifying.

65
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: And you see the cars racing down the strip and

66
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: it's absolutely amazing under the lights in Vegas.

67
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: The sphere looks fantastic.

68
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: The strip looks all lit up, and it just shows

69
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: off f one to be the biggest and the best

70
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 4: motor sport out there, which I think it is. Now

71
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: couple with that, we've got drive to survive. We've sold

72
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: the soap opera. You know, we used to say come

73
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 4: for the live sport and stay around for the soap opera.

74
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: Now here's the soap opera hanging around for the live sport,

75
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: and the soap opera is often as good as the

76
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 4: live sport.

77
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 2: But for that really, I think the Drive to survive

78
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: that feeling of because I didn't know how much drama

79
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: there was behind. Yeah, what money changing teams, girlfriends, wives,

80
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: somebody's a star, somebody's no longer a star.

81
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: You take the most extreme competition and a lot of

82
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: money and the most competitive people on the planet, and

83
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: you're going to have a soap opera that rivals Days

84
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: of Our Lives, Dynasty, Dallas. I don't know what other

85
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: soap operas are around these days, but you know, it

86
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: all comes together and it's real as well. And Drive

87
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: to Survives has brought in a new audience, a younger audience,

88
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: and one of the reasons I think it's taking off

89
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: of the States is that is that now you can

90
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: see a lot more races in your time zone over here.

91
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: But now more female fans are coming to the sport,

92
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: more younger fans are coming to the sport as well,

93
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: and personally it's been great. I've gone from arriving for

94
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: Groen Pries in the past of the States, when no

95
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 4: one has known what f one is, let alone who

96
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: we are to now be called out by the guy

97
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: at Passport Controls saying hey, crafty, how are you doing, which.

98
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: Is just fantastic.

99
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: You know, I love this and thank you very much

100
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: to the Dallas customs officers.

101
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: Any any issues with celebrities when you're working the races.

102
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 3: Well, issues with celebrities, would you mean?

103
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, somebody difficult, doesn't want to be talked

104
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: to leave?

105
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, all the time, to be fair.

106
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: But Martin Brundle, the man who stands alongside me and

107
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: who does the most magnificent grid walks, he's the guy

108
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 4: that gets rejected by the celebrities or he bumps into

109
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: Machine Gun Kelly, who doesn't quite know what day of

110
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 4: the week it is, let alone, who is meant.

111
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: To be talking to in that respect.

112
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: It's a real shame because I'm a big fan of

113
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: Machine Gun Kelly and gave Martin.

114
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: A whole load of questions.

115
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: And I think the celebrities that come on the Grid

116
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 4: by and large are very good to be honest, and

117
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 4: they give freely of their time to have a chat.

118
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: Martin was once told Daniel Craig, James Bond is on

119
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: the grid. Don't talk to James Bond. He doesn't want

120
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: to talk. So Martin being Martin, went straight up to

121
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: James Bond and had a chat, and James Bond went.

122
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: Hey, Martin, how are you doing in that? Because Martin Brundle.

123
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: Is bigger than James Bond, way more real. Really, yeah, seriously,

124
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 4: he knows everybody in this sport.

125
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: Well, if I'm Martin, i walk up to Daniel Craig

126
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: and say, hey, I'm not supposed to talk to you.

127
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm Martin brun Like. That's yeah exactly, And Dan, you're seven,

128
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm all eight.

129
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: And they both drove an Aston Marta at that time.

130
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 2: Is it how much is the car? How much of

131
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: it is the driver?

132
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: I don't know how much? How much is you Dan?

133
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: And how much is your team?

134
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: Probably sixty forty?

135
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: What in their favor?

136
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's that's very nes You see why he's

137
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: such a good boss.

138
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: God, I like this.

139
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: I would say, you can have the best driver on

140
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: the planet, but if you if you give him a donkey,

141
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 4: he's not going to go and win. So you need

142
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: a massive technical team to produce something that allows the

143
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: drivers to show off their superhuman skills. You're not gonna

144
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: super Bowl if you've got the best quarterback, you're going

145
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 4: to need the best defense to go with it as well.

146
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: On that subject, come on the Bears. I am a

147
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: big Chicago Bears fan, and I just want to say

148
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: seven to three?

149
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: Who saw that? I wait, why are you a Bears fan?

150
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: Because I'm old?

151
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: Right?

152
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 5: Oh?

153
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: Is this the eighties here?

154
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: When I first started watching, Yeah, we go, When I

155
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 4: first started watching American football, the fridge was his prime.

156
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

157
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: So PAULI is from Chicago. Yeah, Yeah, Paul's from Chicago.

158
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 6: Everyone I meet from brit Great Britain. They watched the

159
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 6: Bears in the eighties on BBC and then it went away,

160
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 6: and so you only really knew the Bears and a

161
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 6: few other teams.

162
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I still only know the Bears are a

163
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: couple of other teams.

164
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: Do you know what I want? This is one of

165
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: the highlights of my career.

166
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to go off script here when I got

167
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 4: asked to commentate on the Super Bowl and I had

168
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: to miss a race when my eldest son was born,

169
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 4: and my bosses when I worked for the BBC said, right,

170
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: if you're going to miss a race, you either take

171
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: a pay cup or go and do the super Bowl

172
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: instead of a race. I'm like, yeah, I'll do the

173
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: super Bowl, thank very much. And it was the Miami

174
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: Super Bowl when Prince played the halftime show, I went, Devin.

175
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: Hester return the kickoff.

176
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I went absolutely ballistic.

177
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: And that was your highlight was that was as poorly.

178
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: And I remember it didn't get any better on that

179
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: and my co commentated said, yeah, crafty, that's really good.

180
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: But we've got four hours of this. Maybe you might

181
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: want to pace yourself a little bit. That was fabulous,

182
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: but no, you have you.

183
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: Have teams upwards of one thousand people back at base

184
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: designing a car, building a car, simulating that car, even

185
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: going so far as to getting bits of tarmac from

186
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: the tracks and putting it on a machine backup Base,

187
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: and then running tires on that machine so they can

188
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: simulate how the interaction between the tire and the tarmac goes.

189
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 4: To give them a chance when they come to Vegas,

190
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: that's the level that they go to. They build engines

191
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: as well, with the marketing, the commercial thousands of people

192
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: involved in making two cars go as fast as they

193
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: can from A to B and then the drivers get

194
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: all the credit at the end of the year. But

195
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: some people follow teams. Some people follow you know, drivers.

196
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: If you follow a team, that team is always going

197
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 4: to be there for you. If you follow a driver,

198
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: they can move. You could be a big Mercedes fan

199
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: and now having to go and buy some red for Ferrari.

200
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: You know, if you're if you want to go and

201
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: cheer on Lewis.

202
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: Hamilton, he's David craft Crafty Sky Sports Formula one commentator.

203
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: You know, you look in the cockpit of these cars

204
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: and I was curious the heights. I think there's a

205
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: driver might be five three, Ali Burman, might be six two.

206
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you six three?

207
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? I used to be, so I'm not. I'm kind

208
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: of Oli Burman.

209
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah you are.

210
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: You could just about fit in. You're kind of skulting up. Yeah, yeah,

211
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 4: you could do it poorly, I think. Yeah, not a

212
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: bad size.

213
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: Marvin.

214
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Fritzy, Fritzy, you're with me, Fritz.

215
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: On the sidelines, Seaton, see I think.

216
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 7: About five or eleven yeah, with downforce, with downforce, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

217
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: So I actually drove three laps once in the Formula

218
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 4: one car. It's one of the best experiences of my life.

219
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 4: How first I went one hundred.

220
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: And seventy five down the straight.

221
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: But what are they going to do here in Vegas?

222
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: Top speed top speed qualifying two to twenty one miles

223
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 4: an hour down the straight and then but it's the

224
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: stopping distance that first gets you. So they'll hit the

225
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 4: brakes at one hundred meters before the corner at the

226
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: T sixteen, and they will scrub off two twenty one

227
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: down to about seventy, so one hundred and fifty miles

228
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: an hour in one hundred meters, And you feel that

229
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: when you're strapped into the cockpit. And then your cornering

230
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: speed as well, where you'll go through a corner like

231
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: a fast right hander at a one hundred and eighty

232
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: miles an hour and the car just sticks to the

233
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: road and it's just phenomenal. It's one of the most

234
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: glorious experiences. But I remember sitting in the car and

235
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: they kind of they strapped me in. They said, right, okay, Crafty,

236
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: can it you just go a bit lower for us? Yeah, okay,

237
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: go a bit low.

238
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to go a bit lower, Crafty, Crafty.

239
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 4: We need to go a little bit lower than that's guys,

240
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: I'm going to be singing boy soprano for the rest

241
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 4: of my life if I go any lower, because you've

242
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: got the belts between the between your legs and stuff.

243
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: And it was kind of it was like if you're

244
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: on a roller coaster at New York, New York, you know,

245
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: and he's trapped in beforehand and you just can't move.

246
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: But when when you get going, you just feel free

247
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: and you feel part of the car, and it's just

248
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: a phenomenal experience.

249
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: If you ever get the chance, do say yes.

250
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: Be a Formula one movie with Brad Pitt. You're in it?

251
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, type cast.

252
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: But did you know that's a stretch, did you Okay?

253
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: This is where you know, if we have a football

254
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: movie or a basketball you know, we we're always going, well,

255
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: could they really play you know, like white men can't

256
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: jump with Wesley Snipes and we're like, I don't know.

257
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: How did Formula one view the Formula one movie with

258
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt?

259
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 4: Well, Formula one opened the doors and said, right, we'll

260
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: give you the biggest access, the best access, come and

261
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: make a movie about our sport that.

262
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: Sells our sport.

263
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 4: It's another factor in the growth of the sport that

264
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 4: people have seen this and now want to watch it live.

265
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: And they made as real a Formula one movie as

266
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: they possibly could, with a little bit of Hollywood sprinkled

267
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: in to that. Martin and myself we did nineteen hours

268
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: a voiceover and commentary for this, and I remember having

269
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: a chat to Joe Kazinski, the director, who's a fabulous

270
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: director to work for. Whatever you do is always brilliant,

271
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: and then he gets you to do it his way.

272
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: That was perfect. Now do it again exactly.

273
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we'll do it again and again until you

274
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: do it my way and you'll still think it's your way,

275
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 4: but that he just brought the best of out and

276
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 4: martyr them myself.

277
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: Did you meet Brad Pitt eventually?

278
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: Yes, So I went through the whole filming process not

279
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: meeting Brad Pitt at all, and then saw him on

280
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: the red carpet in New York. Now your time square,

281
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: you know, thousands of fans and all the displays have

282
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 4: got the f M movie around it, and I'm still

283
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: talking to Lewis Hamilton, two boys from Stevenage, going oh.

284
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: This is just insane.

285
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: So you're from the same hometown as Lewis Hamilton.

286
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 4: I am the second fastest man from Stevenage and always

287
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 4: will and this one and he's he can have that

288
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: on it because he's the greatest we've ever seen in

289
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: this sport.

290
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Lewis Hamilton's greatest driver of all time.

291
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: For me, Yeah, he's a seven time world champion, should

292
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: be an eight time world champion.

293
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: Abba Dabby twere starving. Can't catch him in your mind

294
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: for staffing? Could this is Jordan versus Lebron?

295
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

296
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 4: I think if Max Forstappen has a car that can

297
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 4: give him a championship challenge, he is more than good

298
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: enough to get to seven, eight or nine. You know,

299
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 4: he is an exceptional talent. Lewis has gone and done.

300
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: It and so you're blaming the car here this year, Yeah.

301
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 4: This year Max has driven superbly well and has not

302
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: always got the results he deserved because the car has

303
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: just not been there for him. He finished a minute

304
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: off the pace in Hungary and for he's down in eighth.

305
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 4: And then Red Bull kind of got their act together

306
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: a little bit after the summer break and he started

307
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: winning again, by which time, sadly, you know, the championship

308
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: I think it is a bit too far away from him.

309
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: But Lewis, to me, it is the greatest, not just

310
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: for what he's done on the track, but for the

311
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: way he has used his platform to highlight issues that

312
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: need highlighting. That we are Formula one, so we compete

313
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: and we interact as one, and we allow everybody from

314
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 4: all corners of the globe, whoever they are, race, creed, color,

315
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: you know, sex, religion, whatever, if you're good enough, come

316
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: to Formula one. And he has used this platform for that,

317
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: and that has been brilliant to see how he has

318
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: gone from a young man with an exceptional talent to

319
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: a more mature man, still with an exceptional talent, but

320
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 4: with a social conscience that I'd like to see more

321
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: of our star athletes around the world have, you know,

322
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 4: and not just our star athletes, you have politicians and

323
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: celebrities as well. You know, we've all got a voice

324
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: and we should use it for good. But to go

325
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 4: back to Brad Pitt, who by the way, is one

326
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: of the nicest men on the planet as well. We

327
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: met up on the red carpet and I've still re Martin.

328
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 4: I said, come on, we're gonna go and get selfie

329
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: with Brad Pitt. Why, I said, because I haven't met

330
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: him yet.

331
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 3: And you have. He said, he's busy. I said, don't care.

332
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: We're in the film and movie stars. This is the

333
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: only chance I'm ever going to get to do this.

334
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: So we walked up to Brad and I went, hey, Brad, Sorry,

337
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: You legitimize everything we do. I said, well, that's very nice.

338
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: I've no idea what it means, but it sounds good.

339
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 4: And we had a selfie and it was really lovely.

00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Michael Douglas, we saw him in the hotel and

411
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: I said, you want to stop, buy and talk some

412
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: Formula one And he came by after the show and

413
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: we talked about when he was on the show the

414
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 2: last time, and he was in a car club and

415
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: he was in high school. So I asked him if

416
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 2: there was ever a point early in his career where

417
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: he thought more about being a race car driver than

418
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: an actor.

419
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 5: There was a brief well in my young career, yes,

420
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 5: I mean it breaks up in high school. I was

421
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: a member of a hot rod club, down Shifters, and

422
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: so I was into We had a we had jackets,

423
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 5: the down Shifters, the West Sport, and we had a

424
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 5: sea dragster. We had a little sea dragsterer that our

425
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 5: club raced. I didn't drive, but we used to go

426
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 5: up to Rhode Island of the war.

427
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 9: Where could we erase that?

428
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 5: And that was when I was in a public school

429
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: and high school. And then I went to a boarding school.

430
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 5: And I went to this boarding school, all boys, boarding school,

431
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 5: and they knew nothing about drag racing. They were all

432
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 5: into sports Formula one, Sterling Moss at the time and

433
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 5: all that. So that was when I got my first

434
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 5: intro into the more sophisticated side of car racing. And then,

435
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: as I said on your show a few years ago,

436
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 5: one of my first movies that I did, I had

437
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 5: Steve McQueen as a producer on the movie. And you know,

438
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 5: he knew I like car And in this movie I

439
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: drove a nine to eleven Porsche Target in the movie

440
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 5: that tangerine orangerine, yes tandurine orange color they had in

441
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 5: the movie. I got paid in nineteen sixty nine and

442
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 5: I got paid three thousand dollars for the whole movie.

443
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 5: And the last day of shooting, Steve showed up, thank

444
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 5: you so much for the good job, and he had

445
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 5: these keys he held up. He said, here you go, buddy,

446
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 5: and he gave me the Porsche, you know, which is

447
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: more money than my father.

448
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 9: I made the whole movie.

449
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 5: And also at that time Steve was preparing for the

450
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 5: movie Lemon, So he was going on on weekends out

451
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 5: to the desert, out in desert of the Willow Springs

452
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 5: Racetrack and he was racing. Richie Gintherro had a nine

453
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: oweight Porsche, a really hot Porshe and he was racing, practicing.

454
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 9: Not getting ready for Laman.

455
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: And Steve McQueen was a great driver, both motorcycles and cars.

456
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: And the Nina eight had this had a little plastic

457
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 5: second seat. I guess to fulfill his class, you know,

458
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 5: he had a major races.

459
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 9: He was a little plastic seat. And I asked if I.

460
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 5: Could go do a couple of laps with him, and

461
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 5: he asked people, he got permission, and Dan, all I

462
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 5: can tell you is those couple of laps out there

463
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 5: a Willow Springs and there's this large swooping turn that

464
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: he could take it about one hundred and fifty miles

465
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: an hour and you hud a level with the desert.

466
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 9: And I was stoked.

467
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 5: And so after those experiences with Steve, there was also

468
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 5: the Jim Russell Driving School which was out at Willows

469
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: Springs and you could race Fourmula F's little Lotus Ford's

470
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 5: open wheels. So I got in and did that and

471
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: that was the beginning of my racing career, which promptly

472
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: about three races in to the season, We're at river

473
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 5: Side Racetrack and under a yellow flag, which means yellow

474
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 5: flag has slow down. I took a turn too fast,

475
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 5: spun the car around and went into a wall under

476
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: a yellow flag, which is a.

477
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 9: Real no no.

478
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 5: And that was sort of what I realized, you know

479
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 5: what I mean, like a weekend hero here, but these

480
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: guys that are driving are pretty serious that I'm gonna

481
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 5: get myself in trouble. So that was the extent at

482
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 5: the end of my my my racing career.

483
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: Where is that Porsche that Steve McQueen gave you.

484
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: That's a very good question. I thought the same thing

485
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 5: that I don't know. I lost this somewhere along the line.

486
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 9: I'm not quite sure.

487
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: Where did you ever talk to Paul Newman about trying

488
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 2: to balance and be you know, because he was so

489
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: involved in racing and a Westport guy he was, I

490
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 2: didn't I.

491
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 5: Saw him a few times. He was an interesting guy,

492
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 5: so talented, nice, but removed he was. I'm never quite

493
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 5: innested what it was exactly. I know he lost his son,

494
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 5: which I thought might have been the thing, but there

495
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: was something slightly removed. But I was such an admirer

496
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 5: of him, not only for his racing, but for his

497
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: charity work. The whole of the Wall Gang. I was

498
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 5: extraordinary with all those products. I can't believe him. The

499
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 5: figures that he raised is really phenomenal.

500
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: Where's the best place you've ever seen a race?

501
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 9: That's a good question.

502
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: One.

503
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: I mean, Monico is tough to be I did one

504
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 5: race in Monico where I had to pick pass and

505
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 5: there's a big, long tunnel it goes through and I

506
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: was able during the race, during the race to walk

507
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 5: through the tunnel, and it was it was just it

508
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 5: just an extraordinary experience. So I'd have to say Monico

509
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 5: is probably the most colorful. Although it's a limited race,

510
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 5: it's very tough to pass. There's a lot of talk about,

511
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 5: even though it's long history, that with the cars the

512
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 5: way they're.

513
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 9: Going and they may move on.

514
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: But didn't you do a ride along with the King

515
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: of Monaco.

516
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: No, I did a ride along with the King of Spain. Oh,

517
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 5: I was in I was at the Barcelona F one

518
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 5: and before the race, they asked me if do you

519
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 5: want to go with the King of Spain around the

520
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 5: track in the what are they called the starter's car,

521
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: the pace car.

522
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 9: So I said, yeah, sure. So I got in the

523
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 9: car with you with.

524
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 5: His Highness, and I didn't realize that there was a

525
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: camera on the dashboard right that had both of us

526
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 5: in full bloom, and so King Juan Carlos took off

527
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 5: and he took off like a bansheet and we went

528
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 5: down on him. I hope he goes he's doing because

529
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 5: the thing about race cars, with all.

530
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 9: Their speed, it's the breaking you can't believe.

531
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 5: So they go into attorney say there's no way, they're

532
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 5: not going to stop in time. It's just no way.

533
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 5: And the g force on breaking your neck and your

534
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 5: neck is unbelievable. This is why they have all those exercises.

535
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 5: So anyway, we go into the first turn and I'm going,

536
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: oh smoking, and I didn't realize I'm on screen.

537
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 9: I'm looking at it and I'm looking at the King.

538
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 5: I said, you know what you're doing, You show you

539
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: know he shot what you're doing.

540
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: The whole way around the track. So that was in Barcelona,

541
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 7: but that was just a warm up. We're talking about

542
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 7: Michael Douglas actor producing. I don't need to say what

543
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 7: should people say when they introduce you?

544
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: What do you want people to A nice guy?

545
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 9: Is really nice guy?

546
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

547
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 9: I don't know.

548
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 5: I'm very happy I'm an accurate producer. Yeah, and I'm

549
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 5: also a messenger of piece for the United Nations, which

550
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 5: I'd like to spend a lot of time on.

551
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 2: I think there was always this debate about our you know,

552
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 2: these Formula one or NASCAR guys and athletes, and I

553
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: would always you know, I would talk to Dale Earnhardt

554
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: Junior and he'd say, Hey, sit in that car for

555
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: four hours, hand eye coordination, you're losing seven to ten pounds.

556
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: You know, everything that goes and if you make a mistake,

557
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: it can be But how do you view the athletes

558
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: behind the wheel?

559
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 5: Well, being pretty familiar with F one, in the fact

560
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 5: that I had some.

561
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: Friends or a bit owners missus.

562
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 5: How I got interested in why I'm here in Las Vegas,

563
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 5: this beautiful Fatt hotel for the for the race is

564
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 5: I was friends with the guy that owned the McLaren team.

565
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 5: One of the owners of mclarenty months or o J

566
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 5: before she passed away a couple of years ago. And

567
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 5: I'm now a good friend of a mutual friend of

568
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 5: Monster her Mind's Lawrence Stroll.

569
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 9: Who owns the Alpha the Aston.

570
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 5: Martin team, So I've been able to see close up.

571
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 5: And Lawrence's son Lance drives for Asid Martin. So as

572
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 5: a family friend, I mean, I see the amount of

573
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 5: training that goes in and it's it's staggering. So yes,

574
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 5: the discipline. The thing gets me with NASCAR is they

575
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 5: how close they are, I mean how close they are

576
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 5: for lap after lap.

577
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 9: I mean in Formula one, you'll have those moments, you.

578
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 5: Know when you have a good but they just they

579
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 5: sit there just I mean just, let's be bumper's touching

580
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 5: at two hundred miles an hour.

581
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 9: So there, I mean both both.

582
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 5: The both races I did need tremendous physical shape to

583
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 5: be in.

584
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: Did you do a race car movie?

585
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 9: No? No, never have, although.

586
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 5: The Streets of San Francisco, which was soon after my

587
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 5: race car experience, and I was sort of the police

588
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 5: driver of the car with Carl Malden's my partner, and

589
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: I always tell this story the very first day of shooting,

590
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 5: the very first day of shooting this which ended up

591
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 5: being one hundred and four hours and four years.

592
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 9: We're at the.

593
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 5: Top of nob Hill in San Francisco, and then my

594
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 5: trailer and also this is a knocked on the doors.

595
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 9: You come on, let's go.

596
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 5: We gotta go fast. The lights, Goull, we're losing the light.

597
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 5: We just need you not to scene. We just need

598
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 5: you to drive around the top of nob Hill, past

599
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 5: the Fairmount Hotel and then this go down the hill

600
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: and Carl, you take the red red light. You'd smash

601
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 5: it up on the on the light and we go.

602
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 9: It's okay.

603
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 5: So, being my first day and not having had a

604
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 5: lot of experience, but very cocky about my driving, I

605
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 5: get in and they go at action.

606
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 9: I take it.

607
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: I go around knob Hell and go past the Fairmount

608
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: and then there's a major hill. All I can tell

609
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 5: you is I went off that hill and I was

610
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 5: airborne enough time. But I turned to Carl. Carl looked

611
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 5: at me, and about two seconds.

612
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 9: Later, badly crash did.

613
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 5: Thank goodness, the wheels were straight right. The car comes

614
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 5: to a stop.

615
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 9: Oh my god, Carl gets up.

616
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 5: That's not drivers I'm gonna be fired my first day

617
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: of the pictures.

618
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 9: In this first he gets up. That's not driving, that's

619
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 9: just movie driving. That's not driving all the time. I'm

620
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 9: going back to my trailer and change my underwear.

621
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: Exactly how many episodes did you do?

622
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 9: I did one hundred and four hours?

623
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: Wow? Did they use that clip in the show?

624
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: No?

625
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Do you click cars?

626
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 9: I used to, but no I don't. I kept down

627
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 9: to adult war.

628
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 5: I love cars, of reading car magazines and all that.

629
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 9: But that's that's one vice I'm trying to.

630
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,000

00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, can I just say that when

718
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 10: I was four years old and I looked in the mirror,

719
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,360

720
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,960

Speaker 10: appear on talk shows in the middle of a casino,

722
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,600

723
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 10: Jerry Seinfeld going on Johnny Carson. This to me is

724
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 10: my big break getting up with Dan Patrick in front

725
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 10: of the blackjack table. This is it is surreal to

726

727
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 10: like you could be my dad. We do have kind

728
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 10: of a vibe going here. You have an ability to

729
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 10: look like every Republican congressman and one person. Why aren't

730
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 10: you at the Cheney funeral right now? I feel like

731
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 10: you should be sitting there with Kamala passing a mint

732
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 10: to somebody. I sent my condolences now, I'm thrilled to

733
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 10: be here. And which was my favorite voice? You said

734
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 10: the first one? My first one was Austin Powers. So

735
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 10: that was the one that got me into comedy. I

736
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 10: fell in love with that movie Doctor REvil, gold member

737
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 10: of Fat Bastard.

738
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: Why are you five years old at the time? I

739
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: was four?

740
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm twenty seven now, okay, So that's the one

741
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 10: that got me hooked. And how'd it sound? I can't

742
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 10: really do it anymore? I know I do, doctor REvil.

743
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 11: I didn't spend six years in evil medical school to

744
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 11: be called mister Thank you very much.

745
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: When did an adult tell you that you had something?

746
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 10: I think I was always just making people laugh like

747
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 10: I for me?

748
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: I like I said when I was a kid.

749
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 10: I just wanted to make my parents laugh and their

750
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 10: friends laugh, and then my teachers laugh. And then I

751
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 10: was a precocious kid, like quoting you know old I

752
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 10: loved Johnny Carr to that old era of show business.

753
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 10: For whatever reason, I was very drawn to like Jonathan

754
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 10: Winters and Richard Pryor in that period.

755
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 2: So I was quoting those.

756
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 10: Guys, and I think just I got laughed as a kid,

757
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 10: and then it happened.

758
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: But you do your impersonations in front of the people often, Yeah, okay,

759
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: when does it go bad when you do an impersonation

760
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 2: in front of it has yet too, It has yet

761
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: to go. I think it's all the way you approach that.

762
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 10: Like anything in life, you want to be kind of

763
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 10: respectful and have like a likability factor. But I used

764
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 10: to run into people on the street and then I

765
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 10: would do it like it started with me meeting Andy

766
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 10: Cohen on the sidewalk, which is how ninety five percent

767
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 10: of gay hookup stories begin. Just meeting Andy Cohen on

768
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 10: the sidewalk and Andy looks at me, he goes, wait

769
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 10: a minute, you're like the guy who does me right

770
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 10: like you do. But I thought that's definite not the

771
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 10: first time Andy Cohen has said that to.

772
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: A guy on the sidewalk. You guys look like you're

773
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: about to.

774
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 10: Get your shoes signed in an airport right now, sitting there.

775
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 2: But this is amazing. I love this. Uh.

776
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 10: And then I was doing Sebastian Man of Skelk.

777
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: I ran into amount a restaurant.

778
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 11: What's so everybody, it's I'm so happy to.

779
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: Be here with Dan Patrick. Look at this.

780
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 11: I did a talk showing a casino, go to his

781
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 11: booking dish, and.

782
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 10: Then a lot of the political stuff has taken over.

783
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 10: I performed at the Correspondence dinner last year, and I

784
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 10: mean this interesting position where it's kind of bipartisan, where

785
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 10: I'm trying to make Republican audiences and Democratic audiences laugh

786
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 10: and kind of get everybody because let me tell you something, Dan,

787
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 10: when you're a star, you could do anything in gram

Speaker 2: Okay? Got it?

812
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 10: This is this interview is taking a turn. I go

813
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 10: to impression? Uh well, right now, I'm working on myself.

814
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 10: So I'm doing my first hour of stand up and

815
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 10: then i'll be next year my first special.

816
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 3: And uh, it's.

817
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 10: This is not the question the answer to the question

818
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 10: you wanted. The voices like a monkey boy I Howard Steren.

819
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 10: We're doing the radio, so this has got to be it. Right, then,

820
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 10: let me ask you a question. Okay, you're a legendary broadcaster.

821
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 10: I want to know this.

822
00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 9: You must have.

823
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 10: Gotten so much is back in the day, who is

824
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 10: the hottest chick you ever banged? You must have banged

825
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 10: some hot chick. Who's the hottest chick, Dan Patrick, you

826
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 10: ever banged?

827
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: Here was Joy Behart, Joy Bayhart, Jesus talk about that view. Hello.

828
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: But when you're gonna do the stand up, Yeah, how

829
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: much is gonna be with impressions?

830
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would say it's probably like thirty percent woven in.

831
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 10: And I'm very excited about it. Like I love like

832
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 10: Eddie Murphy raw and that's a big blueprint for me

833
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 10: and Jim Carrey's stuff and Robin Williams stuff, and the

834
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 10: way that those guys would seamlessly weave in impressions through

835
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 10: the material. For me, like, the content has to lead it. Obviously,

836
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 10: I'm doing these voices, but I think a separating factor

837
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 10: that I hope to achieve is you need to have

838
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 10: actual content. You need to have actual jokes and substance

839
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 10: behind what you're doing. It's not enough in my mind.

840
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 10: I started doing voices on stage and I would.

841
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: Go, hello, it's ste Griffin. Great to be here, it's fantastic.

842
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 9: You know.

843
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 10: I get away with doing the voices, but now as

844
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 10: a comedian, I want to really like have substance behind

845
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 10: what I'm saying.

846
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was talking to Frank Kelly Indol about it.

847
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: Amazing is to have that context or point of view

848
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: that it has to lead to something absolutely because everybody

849
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: and they probably come up to you and you go, hey,

850
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 2: let me do an impersonation for you, but then it doesn't.

851
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: All it does is sound like like I can do

852
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan. Well, yeah, that's timely, I know. So then

853
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: that's that's what gets all the twenty seven year olds around,

854
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: but it doesn't lead anywhere right now, Fritzi Fritzy does

855
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: Marge Simpson. Oh really, it's.

856
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 9: Really great to meet you. Thanks for being here on

857
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 9: the show.

858
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 10: Well there goes my boner. But anyways, that was that

859
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 10: was amazing. That that was actually that was awesome and

860
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 10: hek and some actors get paid millions of dollars to

861
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 10: do that a year.

862
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: Hank is arian exactly. That was awesome. That was great,

863
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: But I'm sure people come up to you and you go, hey,

864
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 2: no for sure.

865
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 10: Like now I'm at an interesting point like where I'm

866
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 10: still very much coming out, but there is the occasional

867
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 10: time where people will yell at Howard Stern, Jeff oh bloom,

868
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 10: you know, and I say, hello, O, very good to

869
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 10: see you. Thank you Jeff goblum g ld you'd be

870
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 10: l you am yes, yes, So I do love to

871
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 10: satisfy the people that come up to me and and

872
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 10: ask for that.

873
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: When did you feel that it changed when you kind

874
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: of hit social media, because it I think it exploded

875
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: a little bit.

876
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, It's just it was a big explosion. It's all

877
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 10: just been incremental, like I you know, I have to

878
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 10: take a step back off and then think how crazy,

879
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 10: Like it's crazy being here with you. I'm such a

880
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 10: fan and every day something kind of wild happens, you know,

881
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 10: And I'm having these opportunities at a pretty young age,

882
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 10: I would say, but it just feels very incrementally. I'm

883
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 10: hustling kind of like a maniac, and I'm trying to

884
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 10: do as much as possible and entertain different audiences and.

885
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: Do it a different way.

886
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 10: But I'm using traditional media and social media and it's

887
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 10: been a grind, but I love it.

888
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: He's a Matt Friend and you can go to atmetfriend

889
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,200

Speaker 10: Find me on truth so on. OnlyFans huge with the ault.

891
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: Right were you? Were you a class clown?

892
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 10: I like I definitely was making noises like George Carlin

893
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 10: the Class Cloud album. Like I was definitely making noises

894
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 10: and trying to make people laugh in class. I don't

895
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 10: think I was too crazy, but yes there was an

896
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 10: I'm the youngest child too, so there's an element of

897
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 10: I need the attention and I do like to make

898
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 10: people laugh absolutely, But is.

899
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: There a darkness? It feels like every comedian they talk

900
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: about you know, there's a downside. I don't have that.

901
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 10: Like I read mel Brooks's autobiography and I related a

902
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 10: lot to that. I think, like Nick Kroll has talked

903
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 10: about it, I just wanted to make people laugh as

904
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 10: a kid, and uh, you know, for that's kind of

905
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 10: the reason my dad did trap me in a closet

906
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 10: for ten years. But other than that, but no, I

907
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 10: just I loved making like I just like the silly things.

908
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: We're such a divided time.

909
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 10: Now and I want to make people laugh, like the

910
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 10: one the number one impression I think that can make

911
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 10: people laugh is actually the impression that I do to

912
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 10: seduce women on the road. And many of your you're

913
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 10: all looking at thinking, oh, you seduce women, that's surprising.

914
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 10: But I do this impression because I'm going to warn you,

915
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 10: every woman wants to have sex with this person, so

916
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 10: I do it. The Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell. Something about

917
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 10: the way he looks like he's holding him an intense

918
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 10: amount of diarrhea at all times.

919
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 2: It's seductive.

920
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 10: But I have to say, he didn't do that impression

921
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 10: for him, did you. I don't know if he would remember,

922
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 10: but I did. I didn't do it for him now,

923
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 10: but I'd say it's crazy being here because this is

924
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 10: a full circle because I hosted the NHL Awards here

925
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 10: a year ago, so the National Hockey League had an

926
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 10: award show. Is the worst audience you can possibly fathom.

927
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 10: You know how athletes are, There's nothing like performing in

928
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 10: a room full of brain damaged one tooth. To Yugoslavian

929
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 10: hockey players, they're like.

930
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: Very funny, do you boy, what's next? This is my pression,

931
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: This is my best impression. It's a silent depression.

932
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 10: I think Charlie Chaplin, this is every NHL player reacting.

933
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 2: To one of my jokes. This is it. They look

934
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: like they wanted to.

935
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 10: It was like performing at the Kremlin for Man's Like

936
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 10: they were all named put Bobrovski.

937
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is going on here? Have you been

938
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: asked to host the SPS?

939
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 10: I haven't yet, but I love Norm McDonald and his

940
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 10: was like the the top, but that these are the

941
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 10: That's what I would love.

942
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: To do one day. That would be amazing having been

943
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 2: there when Norm, when I was at the mother's chair. Yes,

944
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 2: how is that it? If you wanted to have a

945
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: bomb go off and have athletes go what is going

946
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: on here? And he didn't like he was going after people.

947
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: He wanted fire you know what.

948
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 10: You know, he would shake hands with people after he

949
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 10: would bomb.

950
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 2: Like at the end of a show.

951
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 10: Norm would go to the end of the club and

952
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 10: shake hands with every person.

953
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: That was there.

954
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 10: Like I think Jeff Ross has talked about this, but

955
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 10: I think it wasn't bombing Norm McDonald. I think he

956
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 10: was just so smart that people weren't really getting the jokes.

957
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was.

958
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 10: Different than having a bad material in bombing.

959
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Andy Kaufman knew what he was doing. You

960
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: weren't going to get it. Yeah, but Norm, if you

961
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 2: got it, great, but he wasn't going to slow down

962
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: to catch up.

963
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 9: Yeah.

964
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, whenever you talk to Okay, I'm playing golf in Vegas, yes,

965
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 2: at Shadow Creek, yep, And all of a sudden, I

966
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 2: see Norm and Kato Kaylin Okay, this was last week, right, yea,

967
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: And so we're outside having drinks and all of a

968
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: sudden Norm comes up with Kato and sits down and

969
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: just just riffs for thirty minutes. He seemed like he

970
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 2: was the best. It was. It was great. You're talking

971
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: about Kato, Yeah, exactly, Yeah, yeah, he was funny. The

972
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: judge from the OJ trial. Where do you want to

973
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 2: be in ten years? Aside from in a casino?

974
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, now, he hoped to be doing the talk show

975
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 10: because circuit in ten years maybe, who knows, maybe I'll

976
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 10: do be interviewed by Oprah on an escalator. This is

977
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 10: uh now, this is I want to be. That's a

978
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 10: great question. Well, first of all, I just wanted to

979
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 10: say it is surreal being with you. I'm a huge

980
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 10: fan of the show. In a view, and thank you

981
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 10: for having me. I want to be. The big goal

982
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 10: is like, I want to be my generation's version of

983
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 10: like Kim moll And hosting the Oscars and having my

984
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 10: like kind of a whatever the next incarnation of a

985
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 10: late night show is is what I is what I

986
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 10: aspire to do, and that's definitely more acting. And I'm

987
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 10: gonna do my first special next year. But I'm at

988
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 10: this kind of interesting point in my career now where

989
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 10: I built a following and now it's kind of taking

990
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 10: it to the next place. But I definitely want to

991
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 10: I love like Johnny Carson and again like kind of

992
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 10: a throwback to that era. But I love the intersection

993
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 10: of politics and news and pop culture, and I hope

994
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 10: to be at the center of it.

995
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: Pauli, you have the name for this stand up special?

996
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,200

1001
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,400

00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 10: Yes, or me and Jamie Fox do a special together.

1022
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,400

00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: so fantastic.

1024
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 10: I want to ask you about Brockmeyer, by the way, okay,

1025
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 10: because so Hank was my dad's college roommate. Okay, and

1026
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 10: I'm none of my whole life. He's like the best

1027
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 10: and I love when you collaborate with him. Can you

1028
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 10: tell me that about the first time you collaborated with

1029
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 10: Hank and Brockmeyer.

1030
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 2: I don't even remember. Fantastic, No, Like I remember doing it,

1031
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 2: but I like, you're not doing it in real time right, right,

1032
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 2: Like I did the Simpsons, but I'm not doing it

1033
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: with any other characters, right, I'm just the broadcaster doing

1034
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 2: Homer Simpsons skipping Rocks. So that was I just played

1035
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: the announcer guy, you remember, Paul.

1036
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 6: A little bit before Brockmeer ever happened, Hank was on

1037
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 6: our show and he started doing like a fake sportscaster call.

1038
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that.

1039
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 6: Was a precursor of that or not, but he was

1040
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 6: doing this like mocking sportscaster calls like famous ones in history.

1041
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 6: And then like three years later he kind of stumbled

1042
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 6: into Brockmeyer. But I remember him.

1043
00:47:58,480 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 2: He's the best.

1044
00:47:59,320 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1045
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: But I even said to him, I said, you should

1046
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: think about doing a like a.

1047
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 10: Show off this character. I've never seen my dad laugh

1048
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,959
Speaker 10: as hard as that first original four minute broadcam sure,

1049
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 10: And it's just it was so great.

1050
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: I love that show.

1051
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 10: And also I love him because, like you, we have

1052
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 10: this like resting broadcaster voice where people think I'm telling

1053
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 10: a joke all the time, but I'm just talking regularly,

1054
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 10: like I'm not trying to do a bit right now,

1055
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 10: This is just how I sound.

1056
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah you have any seven?

1057
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yes, Seth MacFarlane said, even Helen Keller could

1058
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 10: hear my voice, which was a nice compliment.

1059
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so thank you to Seth. Too soon though for

Speaker 10: doing this talk show.

1064

Speaker 2: I've never dine a talk showhere.

1065
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 10: I could literally hear regret as I'm trying to form

1066
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 10: a joke.

1067
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: Imagine doing a talk show. You just see nine strippers

00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 2: when I saw you whisk right by me.

1077
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 10: First of all, let's add some context. I didn't know
