Direct from the Brozki Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California, this is the Brozki Report with your host, Brittany Brozki.

Red, red, red, yellow, green. You're right, guys. How the fuck's everyone doing? Oh, you guys, it's so nice to talk to you, really. I just feel like it's been a while. It's been quite a while, like a full week, do you know what I mean? And I'm feeling a little bit like...

I don't know if it's Derby or if it's sort of Camden or South London or Essex maybe, but it's this sort of, if I've got to do an English accent, this is sort of what I'm going with, do you know what I mean? Like I just rate it. I think it sounds sort of like really, it's natural for me, do you know what I mean? Like it rolls off the tongue. It rolls off the proverbial tongue.

So I think I might do the whole episode like this. I don't know if it fits. Yeah, I just sort of wanted to say, like, to do an accent like this, I think I was raised, like, my formative years were sort of around British culture and, like, I thought I was going to turn 18 and move to Oxford, you know what I mean? Like, go to Oxford, get me a degree, you know,

at university but but I don't know it never worked out did it because they was doing like everything everything had a British Union Jack on it in in Walmart and on Tumblr and Etsy all that sort of clothing and and I remember like my whole closet was that and and I had some um

Five sauce. When I like One Direction, I like five sauce as well. And they was Australian. I think they was Australian, weren't they? Or were they Kiwi? No, I think they was Australian. I didn't really, I don't rate that accent. I don't like it. I do like, I much prefer like an Essex accent.

And if you're going to do posh, I do think it's quite really... I don't relate to this accent as much. There's something very charming about a British, blue-collar, working-class, really defining about sort of a council estate...

class of that is truly the beating heart of England right like that's that's where the culture comes from and it's where pubs and and community like that that's where it's built and I find that really charming and um yeah man that that sort of bit

I do think, though, being American, because you forget I'm American sometimes when I'm really deep into it. I've gone to UK before and when I'm there, I'll go to Gregg's, I'll go to the local pub, whatever, and I'll go in, I'll sort of order. And I always wonder, like, do they know that I'm American? Because you put it on quite thick. You can do the action quite thick. And I always wonder, like, are you clocking me?

Like, are you seeing through my sort of facade? Facade. And I never know. I never know. Because I've gone up to Greg's one time. Greg. I've gone to visit Greg. And I've ordered like a sausage roll, like a disgusting, greasy sausage roll, maybe like a kebab. And...

Yeah, I don't know if I even cared. Or I've gone up to a lot of Maccies, probably like, I don't know, maybe three, four years ago, I was in the UK, ordered a Maccies. And I was like, yeah, you're right, love, I don't like number four. She said, is that all? She was American. And I said, yeah, that's all. Anyway, the major difference for me, like when I was learning it, when I was sort of falling into it, was...

To do an accent like that, it sounds like you're chewing on your words, like you're chewing on your O's and A's, maybe E. It's very rounded when you're chewing on it. It's got to be almost in the front of your mouth because it's almost going to come out your teeth.

And then the American accent is very er. It's very back of the throat. You don't move your mouth as much because it's in the back of your throat. It's kind of er. Okay, you're doing an R. The American accent is hard R, unfortunately, where it sits in the throat. And there's more. What I like about the English language is there's a lot of glottal stops is what it's called.

Uh-oh, that's what we call a glottal stop. Because your glottis, I could be speaking out of my ass right now. I'm not a fucking phonetician. Your glottis is what, it's that, or it's somewhere back there in the back of the throat. And so when you do uh-oh, or like, that sort of, it's glottal. Okay, are there any linguists in the fucking chat?

Anyway, do you know what I also think? I'm going to do the whole fucking episode like this. I don't know. Do you like it? Do you like it? Maybe next time I'll do like an Irish. I've got to perfect me Irish up the parish. I've got to work on it. It's not quite up to par with the rest of it, you know. But yeah, man, I've been sort of like...

Do you know what? Do you know what it is? I've been doing a lot of Jack O'Connell interviews. I've been watching a lot of Jack O'Connell. Oh, I just, I fancy him, don't I? I can't help it. I can't help it. I just love him. He's got a girlfriend. Fucking hell. Fucking hell. Every time I come on his fucking podcast, I'm like a man. I like a fucking man who's got a fucking... Oh, my God. My time to be happy.

I just like win my god fucking hell I'm on this fucking microphone and I make a mug out of myself I'm a fucking mug you may

Yeah, I've been watching a lot of Jack O'Connell, obviously because of Sinners. I was watching Sinners probably maybe three, four, five, ten times. I don't know. I've sort of lost track at this point. But, you know, I was like, where have I seen him before? He's been in other things. And I'm like, he looks so familiar. I've never seen Skins all the way through, which I know will shock people because I get a lot of –

When I was doing TikToks like 2020, 2021, early on I was doing skits. I'd do a lot of Love Island skits and I'd do a lot of, you know, like Jim McCullins and Towie and Your Magma Yolk, that sort of thing. Just like the sort of topical British phrases. And it's fun, right? It's like a character. But I think to be able to do a character really well like that is sort of, it's a reverence for...

The anachronisms. Is that the right word? Anachronism. Anachronistic. Anachronistic. Now, why do you say it like that? Belonging to a period other than that being portrayed. I guess it's sort of a culturally anachronistic phenomenon, right? Like, I'm not English. Against all better judgment, I know I look like it. I know it sort of makes sense for me, but I'm not. So...

watching these sort of shows, like this is its own little world and it's so different from where I am and how I talk, how I speak to my mates and things like that. So watching it, I really absorbed it. I was also very young. I was a wee little girl. Watching it, you're a sponge, I think, when you're little, when you're growing up.

And I just absorbed it, man. I don't know why. I don't really know why it stopped. But, yeah, I can't really place it as well. Like I said, it's sort of Essex. It's majority Essex because I was watching The Only Way is Essex called TOWIE. And it's sort of that East London maybe. But I don't know because I listened to Waddell and –

Things like that, like people from Derby and Camden Town, shout out Camden. And oh my days, I meant to tell you lot, I meant to tell you lot. Okay, on the flight back from Miami, I've got to talk about F1, right? That's a whole separate thing. I'll do that in a minute. Like, give me a moment if you don't mind. On the flight back from Miami to Los Angeles, I was sort of on the plane and

On YouTube, I had rented Back to Black because guess what? It's got Jack O'Connell. It's got Jacko in it. Of course, I'm fucking watching it. And so I watch it and it ignited a sort of animalistic sense of need and want and desire.

it ignited a sort of animalistic desire in my spirit. And it's been quite hard to shake, really. It's quite hard to not exist in that mental state almost all of the time. And it is all-consuming. It starts to sort of overtake the...

Well, the spirit and mind and the body, really. And it's insatiable as well because you know that there's a level of, it's unattainable, really. And to watch a movie like that, I know he's in another one called, sorry, a film. To watch a film like that, he's in another one called Lady Something's Love. Lady Chatterley's Lover.

It is a 2022 film. Oh my god, there's fucking... There's fucking... A Netflix film. Jack O'Connell in Macquarie. Fuck me. Fuck it all. Fuck it all. I...

Y'all, it's been a long fucking time. It's been a long time since I have had this level of like, I'm thinking about him. I'm thinking about him all the time. He's in my dreams. I'm doing, you know, he's just like, it's been forever since I've had a celebrity crush that has truly been all consuming. And it is all consuming. I talk about him all the time. I think about him all the time. He is the lock screen on my phone. It's getting to a level that's not okay. It will pass. It will pass.

Anyway, what was I fucking talking about? I was watching Back to Black. And of course, it's about Amy Winehouse. I do love Amy. I do love Amy. And it's in Camden.

And a lot of it sort of takes place in Camden Town. And it's very interesting to watch the pub culture. And that accent is just so... I love it. And she spoke her fucking mind. And she was just, I don't know, a fucking powerhouse. I do miss Amy Winehouse. It's also fucked how the media treated Amy. Like...

We've seen iterations, but Amy got the fucking worst of it. Like, truly...

When they say Hollywood just sucks the life out of you, like it's that where you, when you lose a sense of private intimacy, when you lose a sense of your own reality and narrative because some, this other is creating it for you, where does that leave you mentally? Especially as someone struggling with addiction publicly, not by choice, right? It's like, just what a shit, unfathomable, unfair,

and just ultimately tragic thing. And I do think the movie kind of showcased that of just how debilitating that was. You cannot live. You cannot even have a sense of normalcy with that sort of media attention. And they just, they take and take and take, and they just bleed you dry until there's nothing left. I think the media killed Amy Winehouse, and I mean that. It's fucking sick.

Anyway, Jack O'Connell in this movie. Okay. Oh, yes. Yes. So it sort of started me down. All right, I'll talk about F1 now. I'll go back to F1, which will return. I went to F1, Formula One. Formula... Hold on. Because sometimes in a British accent, when it's two words and they both... When the first word ends in a vowel and the next word starts in a vowel, like Formula One, you would say...

Formula 1. Or I guess it depends on the vowel. But I never heard them, saw them ringing. Maybe that's just Liverpool. You know the song, um... There were birds on a hill, and they were ringing. What fucking song is that? But I never saw them sing...

Till There Was You by the Beatles. The way Paul McCartney sings this song, there's a moment in it where he does that. And I want to know what that's a phenomenon. I want to know what it's called. It's like a diphthong maybe?

Then there was music and wonderful roses, they tell me, in sweet, fragrant meadows of dawn and dew. There was love all around, but I never heard it singing. Where the fuck is that? They tell me there are two wonderful roses.

But I never saw them winging. So that doesn't even make sense. Saw them. Saw them. Maybe that's just a Liverpool thing. Or maybe it's a Northern thing. I don't fucking know, Dewar. I don't fucking know. I'm not a fucking scientist. He's so fucking fit. He is so fucking fit. It makes me sick. There was a movie, there was a film he did called Sass Rogue Heroes.

sass rogue heroes where he's sort of like he's in the military I think he's in the infantry or something or like that I don't fucking know is there a world war two or one I don't know but he's in that fucking I am partial to a man in uniform I don't know why it's not good for me I know it's you know very sort of shithead I don't give a shit I don't care

I can't be arsed. I can't be arsed to care. But I know he's in that film with a bunch of other sort of sexy men. They are fit, but he dyed his hair. It's like a golden blonde. He's gold. And I don't know, man. I don't know. It did something to me. It did something to me. Mental. I don't know. Okay. What else?

Okay, F1. I went to F1. All that to say, I'll talk about F1 in a second, but on the way back, I watched this movie called Ferrari, and it's about Enzo Ferrari. And it's got Adam Driver plays Enzo Ferrari crazy. And it's based in the 50s. It's set in like 1957, and it's at the apex of...

Ferrari is right now at this time only a sort of Italian phenomenon and it's a gem in the crown jewel of fucking Italy or whatever. And we're teetering on the edge of it's about to go global. It's about to be, you know, internationally recognized as a luxury race car, you know, both of those where it's a luxury automobile company and it's internationally acclaimed race cars.

And 1957, so it's the classic car models and stellar cast. It's got Patrick Dempsey and Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz. And Penelope Cruz fucking ate down in that movie, by the way. She is the best part of the movie. And Jacko Connell, it's got Jacko in it. My Jacko.

And I literally watched this movie for him. And also because it was relevant to F1. And I was like, because now I give a shit about F1. And I was like, Jack O'Connell F1 movie? Yeah! And so I put it on on the plane and I was sweating in my fucking seat. Because he's got that golden auburn fucking hair in that movie. Oh! So I put it on.

It's two hours long. Learned a lot. And it's kind of shit when you learn history from movies, right? Because now I'm like, okay, so Adam Driver was... Okay, so when Adam Driver was cheating on his wife, was that 1956? So it's a really interesting story about how they're going under. Like, Ferrari's going bankrupt, and he has to look to either foreign investors or just having a business partner or an investor of some sort because...

He can't keep up the business as it currently stood. So Jack O'Connell plays a race driver. He plays a driver. And they do this. It's called the Mille Miglia. The 100-mile Mille Miglia race.

Famous car race that takes place in Italy. It's a historic race for classic cars, not a high-speed competition. And it's characterized by its unique route through beautiful Italian landscapes and the warmth of the public. It began in 1927. It means 1,000 miles. Referring to the original race route, which spanned about 1,000 Roman miles, approximately 1,500 kilometers. Damn.

Today, the Mille Miglia is primarily a race for classic and vintage cars, celebrating the rich history of Italian automotive design and engineering. Yeah, period. Allora. So it's about the Mille Miglia, and it is... I would say it doesn't shy away from... In fact, it's a main focal point or narrative point of the story that...

This sort of driving is incredibly dangerous and always has been. And while in the modern era, you know, I guess there's more safety precautions in place. Even being at F1, I was like, this shit is so fucking dangerous. The cars are made of, my brother taught me all this, by the way, shout out Jet. The cars are made of titanium carbonate, carbonite, carbonite. And they're really flimsy because it's all about how the car is aerodynamically designed and

It's sort of an acute triangle overall of how the car is shaped so that when the wind hits it, it catches the wind. And it's so dangerous because these cars don't have windshields, at least Formula One cars, which I was gagged to hear. Yeah.

And you're exposed to the elements. It was pissing rain at F1 Miami. And that's dangerous, right? Because you're hitting 250 miles an hour on a straightaway. And then you have to brake suddenly and turn. You're going to spin out. And cars did spin out. Fucking Charles Leclerc went out at the sprint race. And I was like, Leclerc! Charles Leclerc. Chuck Leclerc, if you will.

Chucky, no! So he spun out and I'm like, well, what happens now? Because that's the one car you get. It's not like there's backup cars so they have to go fix it.

And the qualifier was right after that, like three hours after the sprint race. And the qualifier is to determine where your place is on the actual day of the Grand Prix. Like, are you the first car in line or are you the 20th car in line? And spinning out is crazy because you have three hours to fix the car to determine where you're going to be. And if you're last, bruh.

So I learned all this and, oh, it's just so dangerous. And so watching this Ferrari movie, Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferrari, watching this Ferrari movie was crazy because back in the 50s, it just makes me think, I always think about this, like flying on planes and smoking. No safety precautions, just kind of living life by the seat of your pants. Like my grandparents used to drive around, no seatbelts. They used to hit a speed bump, boom, you're in the air.

It's just crazy. And the cars themselves were not safe. Electronics were not safe. Shit used to catch on fire. I mean, it's just what a different time. Shit had lead in it. I don't know. And while I feel like maybe things are more safe today, maybe they were better made back then. And the Ferrari movie was very interesting to watch because they had to reconstruct the

the cars, the model cars that they used and then destroy them after they finished filming. Because if they were to like be out there just sitting in some warehouse or just the knowledge that they're out there and they're replicas of the original Ferrari cars from the 50s, that depreciates the value of the real ones, the authentic ones. And so they had to destroy them, which I thought was really interesting. I mean, this shit is so, it's just a different world, right? Yeah.

Watching them race these old cars where the gears get stuck or the brakes fucking rip out or, you know, you hit something and the tire explodes and you kill 30 people. Like, holy shit. And they're through these tiny little roads in Italy. And I'm just, I was, wow, I can't believe that was real.

And then it got me thinking about, you know, obviously NASCAR and F1 and whatever today, there's those big guardrails, those fans are up in the stands. But even then, if a car collides and spins out, I don't know, it's just fucking dangerous, especially with inclement weather and whatever. And you're hitting such fast speeds. But a big focal point of the movie is death and coming to, I guess, face to face with the reality of death.

To do this thing that you love, as with any, I guess, sport or endeavor that has an element of danger to it for these adrenaline junkies, that is a reality that you have to face. And there's this really, I guess, somber scene the night before the race where they have all the drivers write a just-in-case letter to their loved one.

their wife, their girlfriend, their mother, whatever, that says basically, you know, if anything happens to me tomorrow, here's what to do. Like a last will and testament or like, just know that I loved you. It was really somber and some of the drivers didn't make it. So it's like, holy shit. And it's this eternal question of, is it worth it? This thing that brings me such immense joy and gives me purpose and is fun and I feel good at it and I train for it and I get paid a lot of fucking money if I win. Is all that worth it?

The potential loss of life and how that would affect people. And there's this really just horrific scene at the beginning where they're doing a practice race on a, it's not asphalt. It's just a dirt road or maybe it is asphalt.

but it's out in the middle of the country. And there was some, you know, electric or, or engineering mishap in the engine and it locks up and he can't break for a turn. And he spins out, I mean, through the air, probably 25, 30 feet up in the air and, uh, hits a fucking rock and dies. And it gets back to Ferrari and they're like, you know, bro died. And he's like,

Give some money to his girlfriend. Let's find a new driver. Holy shit. I mean, just it's cold. It's fucking cold. And I guess it's one of those things where, I mean, you know, you think about something like the military where when you sign up for it, you're accepting the very real possibility and potential of death. And ultimately you're a warm body. You know, he was a, he was a very skilled driver, but he was just a warm body in the car that can be replaced. And there are people that, uh,

would kill to be in that position. And so it's, it's just very, what a different world from, you know, it's, it's on the fringes of entertainment, these professional adrenaline junkie sports where they have huge fan bases. I mean, what was the last like death and F1 was 2010 or something like that. That's not that long ago. So,

That was crazy. The Ferrari movie was, um, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Jack O'Connell and I think Adam driver did great. Uh, it's always interesting to me in films like that, where it takes place in another country. Yet the film is in English. Part of me is like, I almost wish it was just an Italian with English subtitles. And I wish they had picked Italian, um, actors because as much as I thought we love Jack O'Connell, what the night it was, uh, he actually plays an English driver. He plays Peter Collins. And, uh,

So he, I guess, still would have been speaking English. But I don't know. It's like if you're going to do an accent for a movie like that, fucking stick with it and maybe study it and do it well. Like learn how to say the city names and shit like that. It's just so...

Anyway, on my list to watch is the F1 Netflix thing because I started it like two years ago. Boring. Don't give a fuck. Now, I know the players. I know some of the drama. I know how the race works. Again, shout out to my brother. He taught me so much and I'm like,

Oh, okay. I'm getting it. I'm getting it. I think the, the circuit as well, like how many races they have to do in a year, it's like 32 races or something. Crazy business, crazy business. And can I speak my truth?

One of my bucket list things, before I even knew anything about F1, is the Monaco Grand Prix. I've always wanted to go to that because it's in Iron Man 2. Hello! It's in Iron Man 2, and it's actually a very important scene because that's where he meets Anton Vanko, okay? Because Stark is like dying because palladium is poisoning his blood.

So he goes on this string of self-destructive behavior. He's doing all these bucket list things. He's acting recklessly because he thinks he's dying, aren't we all? And they're in Monaco for the Grand Prix. Stark Industries, they sponsor a racing team, or I guess a racer. And halfway through this meeting, by the way, Elon Musk is in that movie. Crazy. This is in 2005.

is when Iron Man 2 came out? Crazy how life changes. He goes, Stark, Tony, if you will, halfway through this luncheon they're having to watch the Grand Prix, disappears, and then on the TV behind Pepper, his CEO and girlfriend, he shows up.

next to the car in the Stark Industries racing uniform and he's like stolen it from the driver. The driver's pissed off and like throws the helmet on the floor and Tony's like, what's the point of having and owning a race car if you can't drive it? And the race car driver's like,

And so he races in the Monaco Grand Prix. And that's how I know about the Monaco Grand Prix, because they show these wide, sweeping wide shots or drone shots of, you know, the fucking bay and the mountains and all the houses. And oh, it's just what a dream. Since I saw that when I was a kid, I was like, Monaco Grand Prix. And now there's a possibility that I

be going to the Monaco Grand Prix. This life is fucking stupid. This shit is stupid. This episode of the Broski Report is brought to you by Google Gemini. Exams, essays, deep breaths.

And they had, in my hotel room, they had gotten me blueberry Red Bull. They were like, it's out of season right now. Okay, right now we're doing wild peach. We're doing wild peach, sugar-free. Best I can do is wild peach. You guys don't have blueberry? They were like, let me see what I can do. So in my hotel room, it was so sweet. They gave me blueberry Red Bull, a coveted item. So I had that and we went.

And man, it's just such a universe because of the thing about F1 is it's international. So, so many people there were not American and it's so fun. Shit like that is so much fun to see. I mean, it was like when I went to the Olympics, I've never experienced anything like that of, it's not a bunch of mouth breathing sunburned Americans at a NASCAR race, even though NASCAR is fun. I mean, I've been to a NASCAR race. It's, it's very, it's almost like, you know, it's a leg up.

And that was fun to watch all the different cultures. I mean, people bring their flags and they wear all their racing gear and they come to support and it's fun. And that shit is not cheap. Like a ticket to everyone is like $450. I don't know. And it rained. It rained the whole time.

But it was great. And so we were with Red Bull. And man, it's just at an event like that, anyone could go. It's kind of like an NFL game when you're in one of those box suites or whatever, where we were fucking DJ Khaled was there. I walked right by him.

Bring out the whole ocean. Life is Roblox. Crazy. We're walked by DJ Khaled. Who else was there? Oh, Timothy, my twin and best friend, Timothy Chalamet. I didn't get to see him. He stayed over in the paddock in the garage.

And he was supposed to come over to where we were, but he never did. And I was like, that is so, this shit is so serendipitous. Like, what do you mean? And so we were watching the race and cracked out on Red Bull. And it was so much fun. Ultimately, Max did place fourth or fifth. McLaren won. Oscar, Oscar, Pietro, Pietri won.

And he is hot, ultimately. And Lando Norris is hot, ultimately. And that was fun as well to see a bunch of beautiful men. They let us go in the paddock, like actually where Max's car is. And that was fucking nuts. It is a science. It takes them three days to build that whole setup in there. Six hours to strike it. Damn. Um.

where they hold the tires. The tires are heated and have a certain air around them, like to keep them ready for, and all the different types of tires Jett was telling me about, where, you know, red is the best for racing, but sometimes you gotta go yellow. And white is to go around as sort of like, you know, oh, these are the pretty ones. It's just such a science.

And how many times they run the circuit. I mean, you're very familiar with every turn, every crevice, every, you know, if the wind is moving a different way and try to do this turn one second, you know, one tenth of a second faster. It's just crazy. And I was shocked to hear how young all of them are. I mean, what's his name? Kimi? The Italian for, what team does he drive for? He's 18! 18?!

And you know what? I kept mentioning to people because I can't help it. They have F1 Academy, which I guess is where they train. And that's such a rich person activity, right? You got to be a richo to train for something like that. It's all women. And I was like, how have there never been –

female F1 drivers. And they were like, well, no, no, no. A woman in the like 20 for the Grand Prix. Like, why are there? And they were like, you know, well, it's not inherently like they're barred or anything. It's just, you know, like what Kimmy came from the F1 Academy. And I'm like, okay. So I'm yeah, guys, I'd love to see a woman out there. Fucking please.

That would be really cool. Because it's all men, and that's fine, I guess. Whatever. Well, it's not fine. I'd like to see a woman win. But yeah, that was the long and short of it. I had a fucking blast, and Red Bull really hooked it up. I got so much swag. I got some merch, and it's just really neat to...

participate in an event like that that's global and it travels to so many cities. They're done with the American races now and now they're in Italy, I think, this week and then Monaco after that, Barcelona. I mean, it's just crazy. They were in Japan. Max won Japan, I think. I don't know about. But I'm just very happy ultimately that I could combine my two special interests right now of F1 and Jack O'Connell because I do sort of love them. That's really, I really do love them.

This Jack O'Connell shit, y'all just please be patient with me. You have to see me through it, okay? It'll be done before you know it, but I'm likening this to y'all have seen me through a lot, okay? I was the Austin Butler phase. Again, I'm sorry about that. I kind of went over the top with that. I had a really intense, my Pedro phase, of course, that was horrific and I'd like to apologize. I'd like to apologize about my Robert Pattinson phase, okay?

It's also, it's horrifying now because I've met the majority of these people. I did not meet Austin Butler. I don't know if I could ever meet Austin Butler. But ultimately, you know, what I say on the interweb will be realized. And that's horrifying because at my core and to the heart of me, I'm a fangirl. There's something about a fangirl that's not meant to meet the person you fan out about. Because I like things in a weird way. I

Things in a weird way. I'm not a casual observer. I'm not, oh, yeah, I saw that movie. Yeah, he's excellent. I know where you were born. I know what your favorite food is. I know what you said on 2008, you know, on a stormy day in an interview in a hotel you gave that was a print magazine. I cannot like things a normal amount.

And when I work in this industry where there is a high likelihood that I will either be at a premiere, an event, a party, whatever, where I will see that person. And ultimately, you know, someone on their team is like a fan or my agent goes and it's just like, do you want to meet? No, no, I don't want to meet Robert Downey Jr. What the fuck are you talking about? I don't want to meet him.

I damn near got a tattoo for Robert Downey Jr. Like, I can't just go up and be like, Robert, I'm such a huge fan of your work. No, yeah, it's really great to me. I can't do that shit, okay? And I try. I try and fake. I really do try and be professional. I'm such a big fan. That's really nice of you. Have a good one. And I turn around and I do into a brown paper bag.

Like, I try, bro. Sometimes I really just, I can't keep it in my pants. I really can't. When did I pee? I peed on myself one time. I peed on myself, uh...

Oh, when I met Harry. Yeah, the first time I met Harry, I peed on myself. I literally, I was so excited. I was like, right after he left the room, a little pee came out. And I was like, I don't think that that is something that would ever open me up to being in a room with him ever again, if they knew that I soiled myself when I met Harry Styles. When you get to embrace the man that sort of gave you a worldview, gifted you a worldview, and gifted you a...

mantra to walk through life with, treat people with kindness and to model how you treat people and see the world and receive the world. When you get to embrace the person who gave that to you, how do you not leak a little bit? Yeah, I leaked fucking piss and liquid, whatever.

Oh, and you wouldn't? And you wouldn't? Whatever. And when I meet Robert Downey Jr., when I meet Jack O'Connell, I would just like to apologize up front to both of them because I know it's going to happen and I'm going to be weird. I'm going to be weird. I don't know how to not be weird. Whatever. I wanted to Google some shit about F1 because, you know, it's nice to have someone there that you can ask questions to, but...

It's just, it's a lot of questions. And I have really hyper-specific questions that sometimes Jet was like, I don't know. So I'm going to Google, why is the Grand Prix 57 laps? Right? Because that's such a specific number. I don't know.

The number of laps in a Formula One, this is from Gemini AI overview. The number of laps in a Formula One Grand Prix is determined by the minimum race distance, which is 305 kilometers. The number of laps needed to reach that distance varies depending on the length of each circuit. For example, the Miami Grand Prix is 57 while the Melbourne Grand Prix is 58. Now that is crazy. Why is it 305? Why is the Grand Prix 305 kilometers?

That was another thing when I was watching the Ferrari movie. They did not stick to the accent and it was making me very sort of, that's not, that kind of turned Swedish for a second. If you're going to do Italiano, stick with the Italiano. And they were saying city names and I was like, bro, it was just, you know, that was my one note. I was like, God, I wish this was in Italian.

Anyway, rather than haphazardly racing on random roads in each nation, rules established in 1989 dictate that each race would run for 305 kilometers or 190 miles.

Each circuit's length will vary, but an F1 race will see the drivers repeatedly lap the track until they complete 305 kilometers. Where did that come from, though? Oh, T. The sole exception to this rule is Monaco's extraordinarily tight and twisty street circuit, which runs for 260 kilometers instead. I'm just going to read this shit out because I'm learning it, and therefore I'm kind of teaching you guys. Each Grand Prix, each Grand Prix, begins with a formation lap. Is there one in Paris? No.

Is there a French Grand Prix? Yes, there is a French Grand Prix. While it was not part of the 2023 Formula One calendar, the 2022 French Grand Prix was held at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet. The race was officially known as the Formula One Lenovo Grand Prix de France.

Why is the Monaco Grand Prix so famous? Its unique track layout, prestigious history, and the glamorous setting it's held in. The narrow, winding streets of Monte Carlo make it a challenging and visually stunning circuit for drivers. The race's long history, dating back to 1929, and its role as a major part of the Formula One World Championship contribute to its iconic status. F1 schedule 2025. Okay, yeah, as I'm looking at this again, um...

Oscar Piastri, which I think he's Australian. Is he Australian? This is his fourth win this year. There have only been one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One. Oh, no, sorry. Six. There have been six. And he's won four of them. Max won in Japan.

Lando Norris won in Australia and the rest have been fucking Oscar. Crazy. Okay, next up is Emilia Romagna, Formula One, AWS, Gran Premio del Madre, Gran Premio, Gran Premio,

There is a slight difference between a Spanish and Italian accent. Actually, there's a huge difference if you really want to get granular. But I always consider it, it's in the lilting of it. Gran premio versus gran premio, right? Or am I making that up? Anyway, Del, Made in Italy y de l'Emilia Romagna, 2025. That's May 16th and 18th. Monaco, Spain, which is Barcelona, I believe.

Canada, Austria, Great Britain, Belgium, Hungary, Netherlands, Italy, Azerbaijan, Singapore, United States. Where is that? MSC Cruises. Mexico, Brazil, Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi. Okay, so there's not one in France. I wonder why. Paris feels like a, maybe they're like, we don't want that shit here. Get that loud shit away. Formula One, MSC Cruises, United States Grand Prix. Where is it?

Circuit of the Americas. Is that in Austin? Austin. I am so smart. When is Austin on 17th through 19th October? That's right around ACL. It's like one weekend after ACL. Might have to go check out the Austin Grand Prix. Why isn't there a France F1 race?

The French Grand Prix is currently not on the Formula One calendar due to a few factors. Primarily, the number of races on the calendar is increasing, leading to competition for spots, and the French Grand Prix was dropped after four years at Circuit Polycarl. The Monaco Grand Prix, a highly prestigious event, also makes it difficult to schedule another race in the same area. I guess that's true because Monaco is like South France. Well, it's its own country, right? Monaco is its own country, but they speak French there, and they speak German.

They speak... What language is spoken in Monaco? French.

Monega, Monegasque, a variety of Ligurian, is the national language of the Monegasque people. However, it's the primary language of a very few people. There are several other languages spoken in addition to French and Monegasque, including Italian and English. Because look where it is. La familia Tamo, Naco. La familia Tamo, Naco.

Look how tiny this is. Okay, so there it is. And here is the Grand. It's right by Nice. It's like the very southeast of the French and Italian border.

Oh, they're saying it makes it difficult to schedule another race in the general area due to potential overlap because they both speak French. Okay, sure. Some fans and experts have criticized the race at Circuit Paul Ricard, where the French Grand Prix was held from 2018 to 2022, for lacking excitement and overtaking opportunities. I will say, having been an F1 expert...

As of two days ago. I agree because when we were positioned, our viewing point was positioned at a very interesting turn. It was almost like an S position.

And they're coming straight from this super long straightaway where they're hitting really intensely fast speeds. And then they have to brake all of a sudden and like switch gears and go around. And so that's a perfect opportunity. Like if you're on the inside for someone to overtake you on the outside, and then, you know, it happens again because it's the sort of S curve and then you go super fast again. Oh,

Ultimately, what Jet was telling me is it comes down to how well the driver knows their car and how well the engine runs, how well the car is built. And for some reason, McLaren just, they have great cars. And I don't know if, because here's the thing also as well, okay? When I was around the age of 10 or 11, my favorite movie was Speed Racer because I thought Emile Hirsch was hot, okay? Who doesn't?

I watched Speed Racer probably about 350 times. And I remember there's this scene where someone's teaching him how to drive or he's teaching someone else how to drive. I don't remember. I haven't seen it in probably 15 years. I should watch Speed Racer tonight. Yeah, yeah. Oh, by the way, I watched Beautiful Creatures after the last episode. It's still great. It's still fucking great. I don't care. I really enjoyed it. The ending pisses me off, but I still really enjoyed it. Speed Racer. There's a part where he drives on this crazy track

With his eyes closed because you have to know the track. And it's a really cool sequence, actually. Or maybe I'm just seeing this through my 11-year-old eyes. Like, this movie's awesome. Where he, like, breathes in and everything goes quiet. And he's switching gears and he's doing all this bullshit and he's whatever. Because he is part of the car. That's the whole thing. It's like, you have to be the car. You gotta lick the marble. You gotta...

That's what it is. And so that, but like, I'm getting it now. I'm getting it. Okay. Cars, speed, I am speed.

I eat rookies for breakfast, Lightning McQueen. It was so funny during the whole fucking race. I kept leaning over to Jet and being like, so which one is like Dinoco? And which one is Chick Hicks? Ka-chig-a, ka-chig-a. And which one is Lightning McQueen? And then on F1, because here's a difference. I think, right, cars are supposed to be in NASCAR, in the NASCAR universe. F1 is different. So they have different rules and different names for shit.

They would call it like when a car gets injured, okay, the safety car comes out. And it leads everyone and they have it on the screen like safety car, virtual safety car, whatever. And I think it's an Aston Martin. Is that what the safety car is? I don't know.

But it's got a light on it, and it's like, you know, hey. And they lead them around the track for a second until it's clear. Or, like, if there's a crash, God forbid, they have to get this crazy crane out and grab the car. Beep, beep, beep. And that's a danger because what if the car is like this and they can't, you know, it's blocking the road. And then here comes 19 other cars going 300 miles an hour. So I feel like an old man right now. I genuinely feel like an old man.

Okay, anyway, what was I saying? Oh, and I kept saying, when the safety car came out, I said, so that's like the pace car in Cars, right? And Jack goes, yes, it's like the pace car in Cars. This guy, Charlie Checker. Yeah, official pace car. Fuck you. This guy, official pace car. He'd come out, he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Right for the piston cup. And he's real serious because you don't overtake the pace car. That is a no, no, no.

Yeah, it was just crazy, the whole thing. I think I would have enjoyed F1 more if they would have been playing the car soundtrack over the speakers. Real Gone, if they would have been playing some Rascal Flat's Life is a Highway, if they would have been doing some Behind the Clouds, the sun is shining. Brad Paisley again. Brad Paisley mentioned two weeks in a row.

That soundtrack is just fucking great. Life could be a dream. Boom, shaboom. Life could be a dream. I'm the only one that I love. Life could be a dream. Sweetheart, hello, hello again. Meet again.

What a great song. Yeah, that whole soundtrack. If they would have been playing that, you know, volume 150 over the speaker. I don't want to hear the commentary. No. Cars are hitting each other, smacking against one another. Life could be a dream. Life could be a dream. That would have been the vibe. Okay.

Okay, in my head, the movie that's always playing in my head, that would have been the collage sequence, the montage, okay? It's also tea that Red Bull, first of all, has two teams, crazy. And second of all, they're such an outlier. This is what Jett was telling me as well. They're an outlier because the rest of the teams are like professional, or not professional, they are luxury car brands for the most part. I mean, there's some outliers, but Red Bull feels like the most...

successful, rich, like they just are really freaking their shit compared to legacy brands like Ferrari or Aston Martin or McLaren or whatever that are

The majority of their money comes from, I guess, just being rich and famous and having people buy those cars. Versus Red Bull, you can get a Red Bull at a gas station. It's very, I guess, more democratic in its approach. And to have two teams is just nuts. Like I was saying, we were able to go into the paddock.

and see the car, I had no idea that the drivers essentially are like laying down. And you pull so many Gs on your neck and like, I guess, chest when you're going that fucking fast that they have to wear these crazy neck braces. Nuts. You gotta be a thick neck motherfucker to drive for F1. You gotta be a thick neck, big forehead bitch to drive for F1. And that's for real, for real. They're also so skinny and tiny. We were in the paddock. Girl.

I need to be like muzzled and caged like a fucking dog. We were in this paddock and I leaned over to the girl giving us a tour and I said, is it a requirement that everyone that works in here is sexy? She started laughing. I said, I'm being serious. It was ridiculous. Like not an ugly man in sight. And I said, what is going on? Are they all like, cause Max is Belgian Dutch, Belgian Dutch.

Max Verstappen. Dutch Belgian. I'm a genius. He's my age. Shout out. It's all these dudes in there and they're just, they are so beautiful. I was really having a tough time. I was having a hard fucking time. We were in there and it's just looking around at every single thing has a purpose and a place and a time and, you know, don't fuck, don't get in their way.

Very, very fun experience. I'm very glad I could bring my brother. Shout out Red Bull. Thank you so much for having us. And shout out to Red Bull Racing and F1 because slay. And yeah, the Monaco Grand Prix. Bitch, imagine. Imagine. So is Tony Stark here or is he showing up later? Oh, he's showing up later. Oh, Stark Industries got disqualified. Oh, now that is very interesting. Okay, so he will not be racing. Okay, okay, okay.

Yeah, that'd be awesome. I show up in my... Oh, the merch is insane, by the way. Like, why is a F1 hoodie or, like, zip-up jacket $350? Why is it, like, a luxury brand? It's crazy.

A NASCAR t-shirt's like 15 bucks at Walmart. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to go get me one of those. Make my own on Etsy. Sell it. Yeah. Oh, I was going to say, I'm going to show up to the F1 race in Monaco with the official, like, Formula One, Red Bull, Oracle, fucking whatever. And then it's going to say Stark Tech. Stark Tech. Stark Industries. And they're like, where did you get that? I made it. You made your own race? I had made it, yes. Okay, but you know, like, on the...

The shirt on the merch, it's like the official sponsors of I Am Acquainted. I'm well aware. I just had wanted to wear Stark Industries just for a moment. Let me live. Let me live my fantasy, you fucking bitch. I get kicked out. They have to drag me out. I'm like, where's Tony? I'm blackout drunk. Where's Tony Stark? Where's Tony Stark? They tase me. I'm drooling on the floor. Anyway.

I think that's it for me this week, guys. My songs of the week are actually, I'm going to give you a genre of the week. Actually, I can give you some songs and some artists of the week. I have been very deep into reggae. I'm doing reggae right now. It calms me. It's fun. I'm having fun.

Yeah, I'm doing reggae right now. And I've got some artists. These are just like the classic reggae songs. I'm dipping my toes. I'm not doing headfirst right now. I've got to warm myself up to it because that's how it goes. Okay, so duh. It's a lot of Bob Marley. It's a lot of Gregory Isaacs, Sister Nancy, UB40, if you count UB40. U-E-D-E.

I love that song. Toots and the Maytals. How many kids does Bob Marley have? Damian Marley, Skip Marley. How many sons does Bob Marley have? Seven? Damn. Ziggy Marley. Damian Marley, Rohan Marley. 12 kids. Damian, Ziggy, Rohan, Steven, Kaimani,

Just for one fucking day, I'd like to go on God's internet and not have a goddamn ad pop up. Motherfucker. Every single, every single free space on God's internet has a fucking ad on it. What do you mean? I'm trying to look up how many sons does Bob Marley have in your advertising parade.com to me? What the fuck is parade.com? And now I'm exiting out of the tab. Ultimately, fuck that website and fuck you guys. Fucking hell.

Okay, that'll do it. Those are my, oh, my songs are, oh, you want to know something else I was going to say? I just found this like reggae mix playlist that Spotify kind of made for me. And it's just all the, I guess, heavy hitters, most popular. So many of the songs I recognized, and this is embarrassing to admit, but at least I'm cultured, kind of. I recognized from Beyonce and Jay-Z. I recognized Bam Bam. Oh, I tell my mom, my mommy.

That's from, well, Jay-Z on 444, he has that. It's just like sample. And then Beyonce did it as a dance break in the, I think, Formation or On the Run 2 tour? Or no, what was the one before the Renaissance tour? Was it On the Run or Formation? I can't remember. I recognize Jamming by Bob Marley.

Beyonce incorporated that into her Stevie Wonder tribute. There was another one that I recognized. Oh, no, no, no. Yes, I know. She incorporated that into when she does No, No, No by Destiny's Child. That's from the Sasha Fierce. I am Sasha Fierce World Tour.

And I'm like, oh my fucking God, all of these songs. She's such a good blender, like of who, all of her favorite references, but it's not even sampling. She just like will sing it as a transition into one of her own songs. I mean, it's genius because she finds a similar, it's just, oh my God, I love her to goddamn death. But there were like three or four instances where I'm like, holy fuck, I know all these songs are Beyonce. I love Beyonce.

My other song of the week that is not reggae is Let's Do Never Quit by Yeet. I love that song. I listened to it in the shower this morning. It's great. Every time it starts, I'm like, hey, hey, hey. It'll get me every time. Right. Thank you lot so much. Ta. And we'll see you later. Great day for a Guinness, innit? So, um.

Yeah, it's the Gilroy collection. This is, I got it at the Guinness Factory in Dublin. I do sort of miss Dublin. Right, love you guys. I'll see you later. And if you couldn't understand me for part of this episode, I'm sorry. It's just sort of, you know, like my ancestry, British and Irish, I can't really help it. It just comes out, don't it? So, yeah, right. Ta. Cheers.
