Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. It's going to be interesting in here. We have no guest this week. None guest. No. That's okay because we have like we've had guests. So we have like a backlog of shit. You know? It's like, you know, like having to drop a fat deuce being in this girl's house you're

trying to hook up with you don't want to blow it up there's a backlog you mean yesterday i don't

i don't have to hide anymore oh so she got a place uh that show last week was good with richard

yeah we got a lot of good feedback from it so yeah and uh And it seems like there's new Top Gear News like every day.

Well, as they approach actual showing the thing to the public, I assume there would be.

Well, yeah, that's the idea.

You make the show and then we watch the show.

As we get closer to air date, there will be more. More, more, more press, more days. Yeah, you might know who's hosting the fucking thing. I hope I didn't creep Richard out because he's someone I just listened to because he, I want to hear what he has to say. Yeah, yeah. And Glucker was like, you were quiet. I'm like, does anyone want me to interrupt the person who must help run top gear? Yeah.

No, I probably, I probably interrupted him too much. But like, you know, he went three hours. People got there, Phil. He answered, and I was just like, I'm just going to try to learn from this. And like a lot of, like, you know, he touched on some stuff that was, that is in the book. like he mentioned a couple of things that are in the book,

but there's a lot more in the book.

And reading the book and hearing Richard talk about Jeremy's thought process makes me believe that nobody can replicate it.

It's like that is, Andy Wilman and Jeremy, like, describing their thought process of like like, being up until 4 in the morning and calling each other and, like, changing a whole idea at the very last minute and still making it work because he came up with something that was, like, just the next level thought, you know, and, like, sending them that back and forth and, like, spending all those times writing the links and like living in practically living in like this shitty little double wide trailer office.

Like that kind of that mentality, none of the people they're talking about have that mentality.

The closest is probably Chris Harris.

Yeah.

Like he's the kind of person that person that commits to a project like that. You know what I mean? But like I don't even think he does it on a level that Clarkson did it. That's not to say that these people aren't fully committed, but I think... It's not about commitment. I think the expectation needs to be set of it's top gear, but it's fundamentally going to be a different show, so don't put the same expectations on it. They like to say that, don't they? Well, they also... Well, I think that's reasonable. But if you want to have a show without expectations, you don't get to also keep the Top Gear brand credibility. You know what I mean? You can't have both. It was earned over 20 seasons. It was, but by people who are no longer there. That show also changed a lot. That show also changed a lot over a lot of years. I mean, obviously it started before Clarkson got on there, right? The first season didn't have May on it. And even the first few seasons were markedly different than what we got in the back half of the show. Very true. Yeah. Well, the good news is it's the BBC. Like, that's the good news. It's not going to be like if they make it and it just bombs an American TV, it's not like they even give them a chance to make it good. Like, it'll probably be shit for a little while. and then if they're allowed to stick it out, it'll get good. Well, there's an interesting thing going on right now is BBC's pulling all of their programming off the streaming platforms. So it's looking like, have you ever heard of their I player platform in the UK? I have no. So, like, BBC, it'd be like if NBC came out and put all of their stuff online for

streaming 100% of it right for free yes okay uh or well it's part of their license fee over there

so UK residents get it uh-huh um so sorry this microphone is blocked directly in front of your

face it's looking like it's it's very much looking like BBC's going to make that eye player available to everybody all over the world.

So probably a nominal fee and you'll get all that BBC programming like the second it's out.
