Hello patrons. Welcome to your Shift F1 patron exclusive podcast for March 2025, one of two, in fact. We are double

dipping on Drive to Survive. We are going to cover season eight over the next two episodes,

the first four episodes today and the next four episodes after that. Would you believe we're

doing them in order in the podcast after this one,

the next Patriot exclusive one? We are recording this a day before our regularly scheduled

podcast for the first race of the year. So it's going to be very difficult to not talk about that,

isn't it, Drew Scanlon? Don't burn pod, Danny. No, that's the number one podcast in. Do not talk about the thing before the thing. We can talk about our personal lives. We can talk about the weather. We could talk about electricity getting knocked out in blizzards. Can't we, Rob? We talked about marathon. Marathon's all right. We did talk about Marathon before Rob came here. Rob, you played Marathon? Not yet, and I saw a photo of the interface filled with loot, and I was like, do I want that to do my life? Yes. Maybe. Maybe you do. Speaking as an arc rater, you do. There you go. Drew, you just cover marathons. You've raced some marathons as well, have you? Or is it just bikes? I've only, I've run a half marathon and boy, that was hard. Yeah, I did the San Francisco half marathon. Wait, sorry. Did you all see the finish of the L. the LA marathon the other day? No.

Oh, with the, with the, with the, with the, with the, no, no, I saw a different marathon I need, I need to talk about.

What happened than the other one?

Photo finish at the line, someone being overtaken, uh, celebrating, like, no,

okay, literally they're just like, right. It's like, it's like a cycling, like a cycling beat where it's like someone is still trundling toward the line, but they're broke.

And like, but the guy who overtakes him comes from like a hundred yards back with less than a hundred yards in the, left in the marathon.

It is one of the most brutal beats I've ever seen.

It happens literally, they had to go back and watch the footage because the

overtake happens as they are breaking the tape at the end of the, at the line.

And they had to go back and like slow-mo it to see who actually broke the tape and the dude who got overtaken when he saw that happen just collapsed

on the ground not moving uh it was oh my god that's one of the hardest beats I've ever seen in running.

Wow.

26 miles.

And then at the end, you're like, it's like wafer thin.

Well, and you got, like, it's got to be haunting, right?

Because, like, how could I have found that step?
