Jeska, it's time once again to do the thing we call DNF. This podcast, uh, you were hearing

0:10.7

the voice of Spencer Hall, uh, and joining me as always is Jeska Smetana. We are here to

0:18.4

talk about things that go room in the night or very early morning. If you like Susuka,

0:28.4

Susuka, which is the coolest track, absolutely, like, maybe, maybe my favorite. I don't have a favorite,

0:35.7

but it's close. It was so jarring to see it in the daylight, like in sunshine this year. After

0:42.3

last year's debacle, Spencer, it was gorgeous. I enjoyed every second of this. Stayed up late to

0:49.2

watch most of it and then finished it, uh, Sunday. But I think the start time was like one o'clock

State. So it was a nice little distraction on my drive home. Yeah, this is actually before we

1:36.8

game. If you're following rugby world cup, Ireland won a banger game between two Titans, Ireland and

1:45.7

South Africa. And then, then if you somehow made it to even the late football game, lying at

1:52.4

weight at the end, which this is what happened to me and why I'm telling the story,

1:57.6

lying away at the end was the Japanese Grand Prix, which I said, I'm not going to stay up and watch.

2:02.9

No, no, no, it won't be interesting. No way. Max will just, just pull away. I'll be so tired.

2:09.2

There's no way my brain will keep me awake for that. Jessica, I was wrong.

2:14.0

It was completely wrong. I watched it. Well, I think last year was the year that Max won
