Brian Muller (0:00)

All right, let's get this over with, Wankers. Let's get it over with.

Brian Muller (0:08)

What?

Matt Elisofon (0:08)

Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about Lando's lap. Yeah.

What is tomorrow? Tomorrow is not even real. All we have is today. All we have is Lando's lap. Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about it. So perfect and amazing.

Brian Muller (0:35)

You know, it was making me think like we were, daddy, daddy, mama texted me the other day. Yeah. And he was like, coming from the back is only cool when Max does it. We were talking about Kimmy. I was like, I was kind of seeing what he was saying. You know, it's like cool when Max who like gives off Apex Predator comes from the back, but when you see a 12-year-old do it, you're like, well, how hard is it really?

You know what I'm saying?

Matt Elisofon (1:07)

Right.

Brian Muller (1:09)

When you see Lando who gives like theater kid energy at the Emmys or at the Golden Globes, it's like, wow, I'm just really excited about my life.

Matt Elisofon (1:20)

It was full Anne Hathaway when she won the Oscar. It came true.

Brian Muller (1:29)

I'm like, wait a minute, this isn't a real sport. You know what I mean?

This is a bunch of rich kids like racing each other. And when Lando says something like that, it kind of takes you out of it. And this whole event kind of is taking me out of it. I'm like, oh, you know, it wasn't enough. You know, because for Carlos Sainz, it wasn't enough that they were racing in Barcelona. He had to race in his city.

Matt Elisofon (2:03)

Right?

Brian Muller (2:04)

So they made a whole new... Because Barcelona wasn't close enough.

Right? They had a great fucking racetrack in Barcelona.

Matt Elisofon (2:13)

Because Barcelona is not really Spain. Right.

Brian Muller (2:17)

It's Catalonia. It's Catalonia.

Matt Elisofon (2:19)

There's a difference.

Brian Muller (2:20)

There's a difference that only people in Spain give a fuck about.

Matt Elisofon (2:26)

Well, I was watching the World Cup with someone who lives in Spain, and he was like, Barcelona doesn't even give a fuck about this. They're like, they hate the Spanish flag. People in Barcelona are like, fuck Spain, fuck the Spanish flag. We don't even care.

And you know what? And that distinction to someone like Carlos Sainz, who's like Madrid is where it's at, you understand what that means in a context, in an American context, right? Is like, this makes Spain great again.

Brian Muller (3:00)

But if I was an F1 driver, I wouldn't be like, well, the Austin Grand Prix, I actually needed to be in fucking Central Park for me to be fucking seen. Because that's where I'm specifically, I need to be on 73rd off 2nd Avenue for me to be fucking seen. I would be like, you know what?

Fucking Austin or Miami, it's close enough. It's close enough. Because in the global context, well, you know, does Miami really align with my politics? Does, you know, not really. Does Vegas really align with like my, no. But it's the fucking United States. Like in the context of the world, it's the same fucking thing. You eat fucking tapas, okay? And jamon. It's all, you know, it's all the fucking same to the rest of the world. And you're like, disappearing up your own asshole. And we moved, we got rid of Arthur Lone, a classic banger of a track where Lewis Hamilton had a great win. So fucking Carlos Sides could get knocked out in Q1?

What?

Matt Elisofon (4:12)

Yeah, Fernando Alonso can barely even like, get his car on track. You know, I was gonna like, as I was thinking about this track, we'll see how this-

Brian Muller (4:21)

Is it the Madring or the Madrid? I don't give a fuck. How about that? How about I don't give a fuck?

Matt Elisofon (4:27)

It's the race that's in Madrid. How about that?

Brian Muller (4:31)

Everyone's like, it's actually pronounced this way. I'm like, it doesn't matter how it's pronounced because it just showed up.

Matt Elisofon (4:37)

Right, it doesn't have a history.

Brian Muller (4:40)

It doesn't have a history.

Matt Elisofon (4:41)

We get to decide, hey, guess what? We get to decide. It's a newborn. It's like a Frindle. We get to call it whatever the we want.

Brian Muller (4:47)

It's like a Frindle. You guys just made it up.

Matt Elisofon (4:51)

That's right, I could call my kid Apple if I wanted to, because my name is Gwyneth Paltrow.
