Guenther Steiner (0:38)

Hello, Wankers.

SPEAKER_3 (0:41)

What's up, Wankers?

Brian Muller (0:43)

Greetings, Wankers. Baku, Guenther.

Didn't we say it always brings the chaos?

Guenther Steiner (0:51)

Yeah, it brings a lot of, in the beginning, nothing and then a lot of chaos. It's just like you're sitting there.

Will it be different this year or we always had safety cars here, or is nothing happening this year and then boom, one little thing and it all starts in good old Baku.

Brian Muller (1:11)

Yeah, Baku always brings the drama. Guenther, I called that this might be the first falter from Kimi Antonelli at Baku, George Russell, talking about how he wants to win the rest of the races for the year.

We might have a season on our hands.

Guenther Steiner (1:26)

I want to do a lot of things until the rest of the year, but maybe I don't achieve them all.

He can come along with me or I can go along with him. Obviously, not only me and George, we all want to have everything perfect until the end of the year.

SPEAKER_1 (1:42)

That's right.

Brian Muller (1:44)

What are you trying to do for the end of the year, Guenther? What's an unrealistic expectation that you have for yourself by the end of the year?

Guenther Steiner (1:52)

I want to be stupid rich by the end of the year. I know. It's not going to happen, but I want it.

Matt Elisofon (1:58)

You're already halfway there with the stupid. Now, you just need the second half.

Guenther Steiner (2:03)

Exactly. Stupid. I'm 100 percent there with that one. I just need the other 50 percent.

Matt Elisofon (2:07)

Exactly.

Brian Muller (2:08)

Well, you know what the first step to getting stupid rich is?

Guenther Steiner (2:12)

Getting stupid.

Brian Muller (2:13)

Selling out our live show in Austin, baby.

October 24th, Saturday night at the Moody Theater. If you are in Austin Saturday night, is the place to be. The link is in the description. Get your tickets now. Last year, we had an amazing, amazing show. It's going to be even better this year. Tell the people, Guenther.

Guenther Steiner (2:32)

Yes. You need to come to the show to see us three Wankers live, which is not so many times we are together live because we never are. Thanks God.

But also you forgot to say again, Brian.

Brian Muller (2:46)

Yes.

Guenther Steiner (2:47)

What else do they have to do?

Brian Muller (2:48)

They got to subscribe.

Guenther Steiner (2:52)

Brian, just you always know, especially what are you wearing today? Where you got that jacket from?

Brian Muller (2:58)

I'm wearing my New York Knicks Championship jacket, baby. You know what? I might have to send this to George Russell so he can make that championship push. Because you know what? Right now, George Russell is the Knicks down 29 points, or the 0.4 percent chance of winning this title. But let's see, he thinks he maybe can do it and that it's crunch time. But we got so much to discuss in this episode. Baku was obviously chaotic. It was a thrill just like it always is. Kimi Antonelli faltering, George Russell going back on top, Max Rostappen looking good, Isaac Hadjar looking good, and all the Franco Colapinto drama. On top of all of that, Christian Horner is now throwing his hat back into the Ferrari ring. We got all that to discuss and more on this episode of Vankah Hours, part of the Vox Media Network. Before we get to that, let's cue that music.

We're back. Okay, Guenther, we're gonna need your Rockstar and Vankah for the Baku GP. Guenther, who was your Rockstar for Baku?

Guenther Steiner (4:16)

Josh Russell. Arvid, you can't do anything else. It's pretty easier, straightforward. He did just the whole weekend, did nothing wrong, you know. Couldn't do it any better what he did, you know.

Didn't crush under pressure in the end for max or anything, you know, just, you know, everything executed to perfection.

Matt Elisofon (4:38)

Now is this, you know, a lot of Rockstars, a lot of Rockstars out here that release a lot of great songs, but then there are other Rockstars that are what we call them. One Hit Wonders. One Hit Wonders. Yeah. Now is this, is this, the ultimate question, Guenther, I got to ask you, is this One Hit Wonder?
