Speaker 3: Why do you say the next season?

21
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: My god, my friend, my friend said to me, if

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: you do nothing else over the course of the winter,

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: you've got to get into Married at First Sight Australia.

24
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: I hate my friend at this moment. It's unmissible, it

25
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: really is.

26
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: It is unmissable.

27
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 4: We all hate ourselves for watching it, but please try

28
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 4: to put it out of your mind before you come

29
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: and arrive on our stage here.

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Mitchanella forty eight hours ago. I'm worried

31
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: about I'm worried about dom Can she keep her mouth

32
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: shut for a whole episode? I think that's impossible. I'm

33
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: worried about Olivia and Jackson because it's just too good

34
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: to be true? What's happening with Dion? Can those teeth

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 2: get any whiter?

36
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: Spoiler alert? Don can't keep her mouth shut?

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: Now?

38
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: When did you first fall in love with fast cars?

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: See what you've done there, Married at First Night Australia

40
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: and falling in love? There's not much of that going on.

41
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: And when did I fall in love with fast cars?

42
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: I've always loved fast cars, and it's impossible not to

43
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: love at fast cars. It's one of those things is

44
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: even as a kid, one of the things you learned

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: to pronounce is now, and you just get excited at

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: watching fast cars. I remember once when my son, my

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: oldest son, Daniel, was about four, and he walked into

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: the commentary box and Murray Walker was there, and Murray

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: and Daniel started a conversation. It was an eighty year

50
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: old man the four year old boy, and I couldn't

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: work out who was more in love with fast cars

52
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: at the time. It spans the ages, this thing. And

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: he's got my healthy obsession with fast cars and he

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: could talk about them all day as well. I always have,

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: ever since a kid. And the fact that I get

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: to watch fast cars and talk about them and do

57
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: it for a job. I mean, seriously, this is Willy

58
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: Wonka material. I've taken the keys to the candy shop

59
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: and I've never let them go.

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: Were you like me? I was at Greenwood High School

61
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: in Berth as a teenager with my mates, and we

62
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: would come and show our drawings of the Lamborghini contagents.

63
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: We were real can hoods. Were you like that as well?

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: Love? Well, seriously, I struggled to draw an apple and

65
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: a banana, let alone a Lamborghili. To be fair, my

66
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: artistic skills were not that good. But I learned to

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: talk about things and that that's helped me along the years.

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: That that's good at least what about you? What were

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: you drawing at whatever high school you went to?

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: Nothing?

71
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: Really, I always went outside the lines and couldn't call

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: in one direction.

73
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 3: I wasn't much of a drawer. But what was your

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: first card? Don't it?

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: Okay, it's my first car. You want me to say

76
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: something really really cool here? It wasn't. It was a

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: citron Ax Debut one point. It was a one liter engine.

78
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: I bought it from you. I actually bought it from

79
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: you because I knew someone who is like it did.

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: It cost me ninety nine pounds a month, which was

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: actually quite good, and then upgraded to a Ford Cougar

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: V six five years later, which is a bit of

83
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: a shock to the system. I've driven a lot of Mercedes.

84
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: I've currently got an Alpha Romeo. To be honest, I've

85
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: gone through a fair few cars over the years. But yeah,

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: my first a black citron Ax Debut. I ran it

87
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: into the ground, but had a really good stereo and

88
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: that was important to have the tunes.

89
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: That was all about that. My first car was a

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: dats In one twenty wife.

91
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: Oh wait, David, let me ask you this, what do

92
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 4: you think of this business of kids these days?

93
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: Only learning how to drive on automatics.

94
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: To be honest, I can, I can see the sensibilities

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: in that one. Yeah, but kids, you can't. You've got

96
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: to go through the full you know, crunch crunch get it,

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, feel the full acceleration, fill the force out there.

98
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: Make the clutch. Then you really driving instead of my

99
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: I think my pop's in it one stage. Put your

100
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: foot in your pocket when you're not driving, and we're going.

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: I want to actually drive. Last driving crafty, last time

102
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I saw a photo of you, mate, and I'm a docer.

103
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: You will add a derby in Perth with with an

104
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Eagles jumper on may need to bring this out? What

105
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: was going on there?

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: I picked? I picked a rong date the way that

107
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: Jersey didn't I To be honest, I'm seriously that that

108
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: was quite embarrassing for the Eagles. I hope they've got

109
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: better and ever since. Just to prove though that I

110
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: picked bad teams. I've still got my west Ham top

111
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: on from earlier today because I was watching my team

112
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: play against Spurs and I kind of know how all

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: the true die hard Eagles fans were feeling that day

114
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: because we were lucky to get nil. This afternoon.

115
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: Bad day of this, We'll have to get you some

116
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: meths merchandise you can wear that.

117
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, I feel like Dion tonight. There is

118
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: no hope in my life whatsoever.

119
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: How did you get into commentating?

120
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: If I was to say it was at a bar

121
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: in Vegas, you probably wouldn't be surprised, but it was.

122
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: I was there with a friend of mine. Well, I

123
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: was working for the BBC and I've done quite a

124
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: bit of commentary football and various other sports. Darts it

125
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: was my other sports at the time. Yeah, it's all

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: aero dynamics with me. It's either you know, flights of

127
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: fancy or it's winglets and the like. But I was

128
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: in a bar at two o'clock in the morning with

129
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: a friend of mine who happened to be the producer

130
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 2: for BBC Radio Formula one, and he said you should

131
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: be an F one commentator, which I replied, yeah, right,

132
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: come on, and he said no, no, seriously, you love

133
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: the sport. You know a bit about the sport. We

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: need a new commentator. Come an audition and have a go.

135
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: So I did, thinking I'll never get this, They'll pick

136
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: somebody else and lo and beholding. They chose me, which

137
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: was cool, but then I realized I needed to know

138
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: an awful lot more than I did. So I spent

139
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. I spent every single day swatting up,

140
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: watching as many old races as I possibly could, trying

141
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: to learn as much as I could. Started in bar

142
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: Rain March two thousand and six. I've done about three

143
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five races since. I've missed one where

144
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: my son was born, when Daniel was born, and I'm

145
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: still living the dream today. So that's how it started,

146
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: a bar in Vegas. I promise you it's a true story,

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: going back to Vegas exactly, going it seems right?

148
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you did a crash course, No, we

149
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: don't call it that.

150
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: We form no crash.

151
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: But you like you like speed, but you don't like

152
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: you like me. You don't like heights, right.

153
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm not great on heights, I must admit. I mean,

154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't mind flying. I like flying, but I'm not

155
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: good with walking on wobbley bridges that are high.

156
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

157
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: Climbing, yeah, ladders and all that sort of thing, really

158
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: really bad. I went to New York about twelve months ago.

159
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: My other half, my gorgeous. Other half said, I want

160
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: to go on to the edge. One hundred and one

161
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: floors up and it just tapers into a point, and

162
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: you stand at the point you lean on the glass.

163
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: I got about meters from the edge and couldn't go

164
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: any closer.

165
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you at least. I laughed at me

166
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: because my wife has not forgiven me for not going

167
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: up the Eiffel Tower on her honeymoon. I'm still paying

168
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: for that one.

169
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: What so she went up with the Eiffel Tower, say.

170
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Refuse to go up with I just couldn't do it

171
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: that day. You know, you when you have a bad height,

172
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: So we had to beg it down the bottom.

173
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: I can go, I can't come down. I can go

174
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: up on that.

175
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: You know when you've got to throw the leg over

176
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: and get back onto the ladder to come down from

177
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: the building.

178
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: I come up.

179
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: I'm up.

180
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 3: There forever get me a cherry pickup.

181
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm learning so much about you this.

182
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about the show.

183
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: There's only a half of tickets, by the way left

184
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: for the shows in April.

185
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: How does this work? What can we expect?

186
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: I have no idea whatsoever. I like to surprise people. Basically,

187
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: the concept behind the show is I like talking about

188
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: Formula one, and I've realized there's a lot of people

189
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: in Perth love talking about Formula one as well. I

190
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: love coming to Perth and I love coming to Western

191
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: Australia and Big Tony and I and Karun are going

192
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: to go down to Margaret River and do a bit

193
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: of wine tasting while we're there. Big Tony is a

194
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: guy that I met in Perth last year and we've

195
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: become firm friends ever since. And what we do is

196
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: we basically come on stage and say hi, and then

197
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: we talk Formula one, but not about the stuff we

198
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: want to talk about necessarily, it's stuff about the audience

199
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: want to talk about. We have lots of polls and

200
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: interaction with the fans that are there, and the fans

201
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: get their voice too, and we want to hear what

202
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: the fans have to say, and we want to hear

203
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 2: their opinion, and you know, we'll try and debunk a

204
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: few myths. We've talked a lot about Abid Daddy twenty

205
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: twenty one last year, and I think we'll probably still

206
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: talk about that because people still want to and we'll

207
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: get some people up the stage to have a go

208
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: at commentary, which is a real laugh because for ten

209
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: seconds they're brilliant and then they run out of breath

210
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: or things to say, or both, and then it becomes

211
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 2: quite hilarious. We're going to test Karoon's encyclopedic knowledge of

212
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: formula one. We do some giveaways and have some fun

213
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: and enjoy the sport that we all love. And it

214
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: is all about fun. And I'm not sure what else

215
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: you do in Perth on a Monday and Tuesday night.

216
00:09:52,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Not a lot.

217
00:09:59,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: Idea.

218
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we might well be talking I'll be

219
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: on the series ten by that and we might well

220
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: be talking about that quite a lot. But you know,

221
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: I stayed in I stayed in Fremantle last year and

222
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: I realized that after nine o'clock at night everything is

223
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: shut in Freemantle. So we basically we carry on to

224
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: about half past ten just to keep things open and

225
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: be the only thing that's going in Western Australia.

226
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: A Monday night's for giving you the look last year's gentlemen.

227
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. Old school last year. So I'm

228
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: in Freemantle, it's Sunday night and at West Hammer playing

229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: I think we're playing Everton and so I thought, you

230
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: know what, right, I'm going to go and see the match.

231
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: So I walked into this sports bar. I said, you're

232
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: showing the match the English Premier League. You went yet, mate,

233
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 2: I went, brilliant, So can I watch it on the

234
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: big screen? Yep, I went, that's fantastic, said yeah, but

235
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: we shut at ten. The match match doesn't finish until eleven. Yeah,

236
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 2: that's right. Can I watch the whole match? He went, mate,

237
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: Now we shot at ten, but if you can open,

238
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: I can watch the whole thing. Now. Now we can't

239
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: do that, try to bar up the road. So I

240
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: went to the bar up the road and they had

241
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: someone playing acoustic guitar and I said, you're showing the

242
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: English Premier Yeah, yeah, normally we do, I said, right,

243
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: said yeah, but it's the it's the Derby today. I went, yeah,

244
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: the Dockers and the Eagles. The Dockers won. Yeah, but

245
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: we're showing We're showing like the after show. I went,

246
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: not as a guy playing acoustic guitar, and you've got

247
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: the TV is on mute and I watched the match.

248
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: Now it makes the Derby match well in the end,

249
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: and this is the challenge of my life. I had

250
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: to sit in my room, my hotel room, FaceTime my

251
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: beautiful other half. I would put a step ladder in

252
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: front of the telly with the match on so I

253
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: could watch it the only way I could see it.

254
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Right, That's great?

255
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, true love.

256
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: And you know what that's worth? An engagement at Christmas?

257
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: I reckon, congratulations and she got it.

258
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,119
Speaker 3: Now I have I have a question, Danny Riccardo.

259
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: Daniel Riccardo, Is that a question.

260
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: Daniel Riccardo? Where to now for Daniel?

261
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Where to now for Daniel? Oh? That sounded like an

262
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: episode of Gaviner State. Very good. I think. I think

263
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: this is one of the most fascinating subplots of the

264
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three seasons. You know, Daniel's gone back to

265
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: Red Bull because, look, he needed to go somewhere. If

266
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 2: he wanted to carry on his Formula One career. We

267
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,359
Speaker 2: could have gone to has I think they were interested,

268
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: but for whatever reason, Daniel wasn't. He's accepted the job

269
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: as reserve driver to go back and to be within

270
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: a team that he knows will give him a car

271
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: that can win races if he gets a drive full

272
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: time drive once again with them, But sitting there at

273
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: the moment is Sergio Perez, who may or may not

274
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: have the best relationship with Max. Was happen you've ever seen?

275
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: So this is a bit how can I put this,

276
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: It's it's not quite married at first sight Australian material

277
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: where Daniel is sat in the wings waiting to pick

278
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: up the girl who doesn't want to be with deal exactly.

279
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: But Daniel sat in the wings here and he is

280
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: in the right place at the right time. If Red

281
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: Bull wants to make a change for the future, yeah,

282
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: and it's all I think it's to what Max wants.

283
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: You know, Max's The team is not built around Max,

284
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: but Max's is their number one, two times champion, is

285
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: the defending champion. If he feels it's better to go

286
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: forward with Daniel, then I can see it happening. Because

287
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: if former one never ever say never. Once upon a

288
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: time we have never thought Daniel Ricardo could go back

289
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: to drive for Red Bull again. But time is a

290
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 2: great healer and things move on a pace. And wouldn't

291
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: it be lovely to see Daniel Ricardo back in a

292
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: winning machione.

293
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, better than just being the brand ambssador, which

294
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: I think he is at the moment the banana.

295
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. He's a reserve driver. He's a brand new

296
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: ambassador and that's an important job. Redbe'll have a lot

297
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: of partners that need servicing in terms of somebody come along,

298
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: talk to the guests at the race weekend, spend time

299
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 2: with him and give an insight into Formula One. So

300
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: he has an important job to play in the sin.

301
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: He has an important job to play to help prepare

302
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: the car. But that relationship Daniel Max Sergio, you know,

303
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: three into two, don't go. How's that gonna blossom or not?

304
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: During the course of this season. Carud already thinks Daniel

305
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: Riccardo will be in that seat for next year. We're

306
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: talking about it on Friday when we met. So yeah,

307
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if it happed.

308
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: That's given you some food for.

309
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Thought, is yeah, well we're thinking about a boy from

310
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: done Craig. He's the Perth boy with there you go.

311
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: But what I would say is Formula One with a

312
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Daniel Riccardo in a machine that he gets on, yeah

313
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: you can drive well in is a much better sport

314
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: than Formula One without Daniel Ricardo. I honestly, he is

315
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: a delight to watch on the track. He's a delight

316
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: to know off the track as well, and he has

317
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: produced some amazing races over the years and has more

318
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: in him to come if he's given the chance.

319
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you about commentary boxes. You've seen

320
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: them all. Who's the best, Who's got the worst?

321
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So the worst was the time in Monza when

322
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: we used to be in a porter cabin in the

323
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: stand and had a hole in the corner of the

324
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: roof and it rained the year Sebastian feedal one in

325
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. It rained and it rained and

326
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: it rained, and it was so bad on the Friday

327
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: they canceled the sessions. It was too wet. But the

328
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: rain was cascading through the hole in the roof and

329
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: was forming like about that much of a puddle on

330
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: the floor, which is where all our equipment was placed,

331
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: and we were in danger of going live. Whilst we

332
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: were live, I actually pulled the plug in the end,

333
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: so let's get out of it. This is actually dangerous. Yeah,

334
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: And that was, without doubt the worst, although the ones

335
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: in Canada used to be pretty bad. In a condemned

336
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: three story building by the Chicage. Oh man, it was

337
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: a horrible building. It was a great view, but the

338
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: building wasn't good and we used to used to use

339
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: these porterloos that have been there all weekends as well.

340
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: The Canadian sunshine can get quite hot and you know,

341
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: by the time you get to ten minutes before racetime

342
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: on a Sunday where you go for your final Wii

343
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: before your commentary, I didn't want to be using water loos.

344
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: It was honestly, it was like Download festival. It was

345
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: not particularly pleasant, gross, but the best the best commentary

346
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: boxes bah Rains, Good Abby, Daddy's Good China was mega

347
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: because you could see the whole the whole track. I

348
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: have to say I do love the commentary boxes in

349
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: Albert Park because they're a bit of a walk from

350
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: the paddock, so you basically whilst you're walking, you're talking

351
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: to all the Aussie fans and the conversations get more

352
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: and more delightful as the weekend goes on and more

353
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: tinnies have been consumed quite frankly and towing over people

354
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: on the way back. It is the best festival of

355
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: motorsport that Australia could ever produce the growing pre weekend.

356
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: It's a sellout. I think again, it's going to be

357
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: mega and Albert Park.

358
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: I was actually at that first race at Albert Park

359
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: way back then in the nineteen and I have and

360
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: also I live a few suburbs away and I could

361
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: still hear the qualifying races the days before.

362
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: It was so such a vibe, it really was.

363
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: There's two seats Formula one car that goes on the track. Yeah,

364
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: and our hotel's right next to the track and it

365
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: starts at half seven in the morning. Please come on

366
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: given hour.

367
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, even the noise came on. Headphones don't work vibrating,

368
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: that's right, the whole room.

369
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: I guess we do have to let you go.

370
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: But these are the kind of stories that you can

371
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: expect to hear in April when you take the stage.

372
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: We look forward to that, David.

373
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: List loads of stories. We'll give you all the gossip

374
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: from Albert Park as well, and will be three races

375
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: into Oscar Piastre's Formula one career. Yes, by that stage,

376
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: I confidently predict him scored his first points in Formula

377
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: A young.

378
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, such a pleasure.

380
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: Thank you David,
