What's up, Vankas?

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

Simply lovely, Vankas.

SPEAKER_1 (0:07)

Simply lovely.

Dude, you know what? Fuck this entire thing, honestly.

I came in, my dumb ass came in excited to watch this thing. I was like, wow, Max verse 100 people, Max verse 100 people, Max verse 100 people, I was excited, like Christmas morning. Finally, I'm gonna see Max verse 100 people, Max verse 100 people. And then I found out it was Max verse 100 influencers. I was like, are you, those aren't people. Those are not people. Are you kidding me? Influencers are not people. They're not real people. They're fake people. They're, they're, they're, they're, they're entertainers.

SPEAKER_2 (1:00)

They're content creators.

SPEAKER_1 (1:02)

They're content creators.

The whole thing that's interesting about, you know, about 100 people versus the gorilla, right? Which is kind of what this is, is you're watching, like, the gorilla is a, is an organic thing. It's, that's kind of what you want, right? In nature, you're like, would a tiger win against a lion, right? How would that, you're watching two organic things sort of clash. I want to see 100 Joes versus one pro. Not 100 fucking content creators who, who are, who are, who are, like, doing their own content before, during and after the race.

SPEAKER_2 (1:48)

Right.

SPEAKER_1 (1:48)

Those are not regular people.

And then, because, because here's the thing. These are, these people, like, kind of see Max's appear a little bit, right?

It's like, it's different, right? They're like, I, Max is somebody I'm doing content with. I wanted to see people who are, like, fans of Max. This is, like, really, like, life-changing. Like, because here's the thing, like, these people are seeing this as, like, an opportunity to boost their brand. Like, I just want to see, like, a regular motherfucker being like, wow, this is the best day of my life. This is, this is a bucket-less moment for me to race against Max Verstappen. And we were robbed of that when they said, oh, my God, Max, these people have half a billion followers. I wanted to vomit.

SPEAKER_2 (2:43)

I wanted to vomit.

SPEAKER_1 (2:48)

I wanted it to be like Great British Bake Off, just like regular people with a passion for motorsport.

SPEAKER_2 (2:57)

Sure, sure.

SPEAKER_1 (2:57)

Getting to raise their fucking idol. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_2 (3:01)

Yeah, I mean, when they were like, and Max, and Max, next up on the list is Drift Games.

SPEAKER_3 (3:07)

And I'm like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_1 (3:09)

Also, I didn't know who the fuck any of these people were.

SPEAKER_2 (3:13)

It was a lot of, it wasn't just content creators, it was British content creators.

SPEAKER_1 (3:19)

British content creators.

I mean, the only guy that was really selling was the Italian guy. He was-

SPEAKER_2 (3:28)

Well, the Italian guy, I'm like, hey sir, if this was a way for you to get new followers, you just found one because he was the king of this whole experience.

SPEAKER_1 (3:38)

He was the only one that was like, oh, my job is entertain.

I'm going to serve. I'm here to serve.

SPEAKER_2 (3:47)

He was me. He was me as I am me as he is we, and we are all together. I really felt like that guy was me. He was a whore.

SPEAKER_1 (3:56)

He was a complete whore. He was an unapologetic whore for the camera. He spoke practically no English, and he had so much more charisma than anyone on the screen. I can't even imagine.

I forgot his name, but he had way more charisma. Like, he didn't even... That's how little charisma everybody had on this thing, is this guy who spoke no English, like, blew the doors off everybody. I couldn't even see his face. He had those weird goggles on.

SPEAKER_2 (4:26)

Yeah, he wears the mask. That's part of his deal.

SPEAKER_1 (4:30)

He was like Heath Ledger in the dark night. He just blew the doors off of everybody.

And I was like, who the fuck is this guy? He's making, like, pleading... He's like Chaplin, making pleading gestures with his hands. Please don't pass me. I mean, what a genius that guy was.

SPEAKER_2 (4:49)

Well, guess what?

He's... Paki TWC is the Instagram handle. He has 1.1 million followers.

SPEAKER_3 (4:55)

That's not enough.

SPEAKER_2 (4:56)

It's not enough followers.

SPEAKER_3 (4:57)

For real, for real.

SPEAKER_1 (5:00)

The only guy that really kind of moved me was actually the... He was the guy who was leading. I'm calling him Fat Max, because he basically looked like Max.

Jack Martin. He was Dutch. What?

SPEAKER_2 (5:15)

Yeah, yeah.
