This monday.com ad was created by a team of people and AI agents. Reese, our content agent, wrote the copy based on our best practices, like mentioning monday.com three times. That was the second. Johnny, our coordination agent, built the timeline and kept everyone aligned. Olivia, our human creative director, stayed in the loop because agents are great, but they don't always know when a joke lands. She had one note, tell listeners it only takes minutes to build an agent. So minutes, create your own AI agent today on monday.com.

What's up, Vankas?

**Brian Muller** (1:48)
Greetings, Vankas.

**Matt Elisofon** (1:53)
How is everybody doing?

**Brian Muller** (1:55)
How are you doing? I hope you've got your party hats on, baby. I hope you got your, Matt and I both got our party hats on. That's right.
Everyone, get your party hats on, because we're doing a special episode today. It's the summer break. We got some time not talking about what's going on in the grid, so we thought, why not talk about the other side of Formula 1, the fun side of Formula 1, and the antics of the drivers of Formula 1, because, listen, these days, it's so buttoned up, it's so corporate. I mean, everyone's got a sponsor of a sponsor and a corporate of a corporate.

**Matt Elisofon** (2:41)
And a handler, a PR person, everything is... Yeah.
Everything's, everyone's got their phones out, you can't get away with anything. You know, nowadays, you got Des Mois, you can't get away with shit.

**Brian Muller** (2:53)
Yeah.

**Matt Elisofon** (2:54)
But in the old days, they could really get after it. But in the light of summer break, I think it's good because, you know, hopefully the drivers now are getting after it a little bit.

**Brian Muller** (3:04)
That's right, you hope that, you hope they are. And you know, we did, you know, Matt and I, we have this book coming out, right? Formula 101 for F1 fans who love the drama. And we did a little bit of a deep dive into the history of Formula 1 So we had done some research about some of these guys.
But, you know, we want to do a little bit more research. Who are the biggest party boys in the history of Formula 1? So we are giving you the top three Formula 1 party boys in history, The Podium, The High Octane, the guys that they write stories about. It was going to be the top five, but then the episode was about three hours long. So we're going to put five and four on the Patreon. Subscribe now if you want to listen to who was in the fifth and fourth spot. But it's going to be it's a great episode. And our top three are iconic. But if you want even more of this content, head over to patreon.com/trfpod and enjoy that right now. Before we get into that, let's talk about who of today's grid are the party boys.

**Matt Elisofon** (4:13)
Well, you obviously got to put Lando in there, right?
We see him partying with Martin, got to, we see him partying with Martin Garrix. He's still got that scar on his nose from when he cut his face.

**Brian Muller** (4:26)
I forget when he almost broke his nose while drunk and then came back and won a race. I mean, he's like, he's kind of the closest we have. This is the new way James hunt.

**Matt Elisofon** (4:38)
I feel like Pierre Gasly, the way he sort of exhibits himself on social media, his energy, he seems like the guy, he seems like the guy you need at a bachelor party, the catalyst at a bachelor party, he's the guy. But I also think that Lewis Hamilton is that guy.
