This could get us cancelled, but I hope not. I'm doing it as a mark of respect.

0:21.0

Okay. I saw my leg cool. Paul Wallace. Right. Is that not a Muslim welcome? I have no idea. Right. I did not attempt to learn the language. Oh, how? Yeah.

0:34.0

Contrally aware, man. Everyone was speaking English to me, so I didn't really. And also, I mean, they've got a completely different alphabet to us, haven't they?

0:43.0

Yes. I mean, completely. Yeah. I mean, it's a hard language to learn. I was there for three days, Sam. Hello. We'd been nice start.

0:50.0

Everyone, welcome to the latest episode of After the Chicken Flag. You might be watching us exclusively on Recast. If you are welcome, if you're listening to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc.

1:01.0

Well, you're late to the game because this episode went live earlier in the week, as I say, exclusively on Recast. And we're here mainly to discuss Paul Wallace's adventures in Saudi Arabia, where he acted like a true British tourist, refused to learn the language or any local.

1:17.0

And he looked on old. Yeah. We're going to waste a pull out. But no, as we discussed in our last episode, you went to the Jedder-Grown Prix. I did. Look at you, you jerry dodger. Look at my tan.

1:32.0

Well, it was not that great. Let me take off my Apple Watch, because we were spending the whole time inside the Perth Club. Oh, yeah, exactly. That's pretty much where I spent the entire time. However, these exact shoes did touch the pit lane tarmac.

1:46.0

I'll have you know, well, they did better than that because I feel like some people, well, I'm not showing people of notice, but at the end of the episode that we last did.

1:58.0

We said we want to set up like a challenge for ourselves, this ultimate challenge this year as big F1 fans who are lucky enough to get some pretty incredible access.

2:07.0

We're like, right, somebody has to get into a team garage during a Grand Prix session and be caught on camera by F1 TV.

2:19.0

It's just never going to happen. That's a monumental challenge.

2:23.0

The first race to either of us attend. Well, happens, Paul. Well, I ended up in Max and Czechos garage during the beginning of FP3.

2:34.0

And obviously there was huge hype around the Red Bull team. And so I saw the television coverage starting. I saw, I literally was behind Max as he was watching his own F1 title as run.

2:47.0

He was like nudging his technician guy and like pointing it himself on the TV. I was like, oh, like there's cameras there, like I think I'm going to be on there.

2:54.0

And literally at the beginning of FP3, you can see Czechos car and this big white pillar behind the car that was blocking me.

3:03.0

So you can see me casually realize that I'm behind the white pillar. So I like move back to check out Czechos car and realize then I am on live sky sports TV in the F1 garage.

3:15.0

Exactly as you challenged. It was hilarious and also an incredible experience challenge over you completed it.

3:22.0

We are so out of touch with the average F1 fan that we set ourselves this insane, like unthinkable challenge that you just how is that possible that you've ended up in the championship?

3:35.0

Well, yeah, the winners from last year are probably going to win this team. You're in the garage. It's a live session and you're on TV.

3:42.0

I know. It was ridiculous. And even at the time, like I was pinching myself, I actually even being in that position because all I knew is I had an hour slot in the paddock with Red Bull shooting the Bill Fratheed's Rucksack.

3:55.0

And they said, head on through. Come into the pits. I will go and show you all of the bits and pieces. I saw some stuff that I'm not entirely sure though.
