The Red Flags Podcast

*LIVE SHOW AUDIO ALERT*

This week, we've got brawn and brains on the pod with W Series driver, U.S. Karting champion, and engineer Sabré Cook. She teaches the guys what NOT to do in karting and how to master turn 1 at COTA, explains how racing is like acting, commiserates with Matt about back pain, and helps us strategize how to get more sponsors and develop our brand values (spoiler alert: we don't have any). Plus, we explore why Jamie Chadwick is basically Tom Cruise and the how Netflix should have a W Series "Drive to Survive."

Whewwww editing this pod felt longer than this f*cking race. Brian hated it, Matt loved it, and we're gonna give you alllll the hot takes. The guys talk about Toto Wolff being a Karen, Brian leading the revolution on the 1% -- one middle finger at a time, why Matt's triggered by Max Verstappen getting angry at his team, Jost Capito bringing the dad vibes, Checo f*cking like a romance novel protagonist, and George Russell's Mad Max driving. If you stick around til the end, you'll find out what our 'lil 10/5 announcement is all about!

They say never meet your heroes, but they weren't talking about the F1 machine and host of the iconic podcast Missed Apex -- Spanners Ready. If your kink is hearing a motorsport "generalist" get as feisty as Matt and tell him he's WRONG, then this is the episode for you. The guys talk about races ending under safety cars, Fernando Alonso the guilty pleasure, why our podcast is like a mistress, how the F1 greats of the 70s were basically "hobbyists," and why we all dedicate so much time, energy, and love to something that has the lowest stakes.

Coming soon -- Patreon and merch!!!

If you're heading to Austin for the GP, save the date for our live show! Sun, Oct. 23 @ 9pm CT.

BRIAN'S BACK B!TCHES and he's h*rny for this sl*tty little race. In the epic episode the guys discuss Yuki flipping the board, Ferrari's ultimate irony, how this podcast is more similar to Ferrari than we thought, why Haas is the best and worst place for DR to go and REAL LIFE F1 SIGHTINGS IN EUROPE. It's a good one. So grab some popcorn and enjoy.

Brian's on the Greek Isles getting tzatziki massages poolside while Matt and Producer Jeni carry the weight of their incredibly successful podcast. The race may have been a snooze, but there was no sleep for us (bc Riverside SUX) and we had a LOT to discuss. We talk Daniel Ricciardo's really not at all tragic layoff, Fernando Alonso being the reincarnation of Cthulhu, Ferrari's talk to text radio strategy, how F1 continues to prove it's the best reality show in the game, throw in a French lesson and some commonly misused phrases for all you dummies, AND give the definitive answer to that age-old debate "Does size really matter?" 

Note to Jeni's dad who listens religiously -- you can skip from 27:15 to 32:01.

WE MISS U, BRIAN!

Have friends who just finished "Drive to Survive?" Or are you trying to recruit more people to watch F1 so you're not the only one who's unhealthily obsessed? This episode is for them. Matt and Brian go over the basics of F1 in a way that's as clear and straightforward as the Paul Ricard track. Learn about the structure of a race weekend, the histories of the teams on the grid, the cast of this incredible reality show -- AKA the drivers, and why F1 has parallels to life's wheel of fate. Plus N*zi sex scandals, billionaires, and hot boys.

And if you have any questions after this, there's always f*cking Google. K? xoxo
