You are listening to Mist Apex Podcast. We live F1.

Welcome to Mist Apex Podcast. I'm your host Richard Spanner's ready. We are here for a news show, which means I need some help.

So let's bring on Matt to Rumpets. Happy Valentine's Day, Matt.

Happy Valentine's Day to you too. I hope you notice that I got you the Valentine's Day present of a brand new set of show notes set up so that your eyes can comprehend them.

And as a bonus, you were nearly on time for the call as well. That's love.

I'm sorry, what time is it now?

Yeah, look, this is the least late we've ever started a live stream. Now, I have to say that last week we did say that we were going to do a pre-record because it's Valentine's Day tonight, and I assumed that everyone would want to not be in trouble.

But it turns out that all of the panel don't care about Valentine's Day, so we decided to just go ahead and do it.

Yes, well, being in trouble simply means more iracing.

It does, yeah, get to the shed. Yeah, when you were a kid and you get sent to your room, that was like the best thing ever.

Yeah, that's great. My Nintendo entertainment system is in there, so that's fine.

So instead of doing a pre-record, we decided to stream it. And as I mentioned a few weeks back, we were going to make a few of the live streams patrons patron only.

And then the finished product would go out to everybody as normal on a Monday.

It's not that we don't like our live stream people, Matt. It's just that we had decided we wanted the odd more chill one with our with our patron friends.

Yeah, it's a little more convivial, the atmosphere. And after the lovely quiz that you ran for the patrons, which my family enjoyed very much, I have to say thank you for giving us a family activity.

I think we can all do together. It seems like a perfect follow up to just invite them on for a little bit of a holiday.

Chill, relax, YouTube thing. Okay, yes. I should I should really promote the fact that we run those quizzes. We've done too so far during this most recent UK lockdown.

There'll be another one next month. And Katman is putting on an end of the month patron F1 quiz, which is done over a Zoom call using a website.

And since we're promoting things, can I briefly mention that my second article has gone up on the Reddit Formula One subreddit?

Yes. Okay, well, I will mention then that my second article has gone up on the Formula One subreddit at Reddit. And this time we've made an audio version.

And I have to thank one of our panelists today for putting the idea in my head because he looked at the first one we wrote and said, I don't read more than 10 words before I quit.

You must make an audio version or I will not protect.
