| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy double episode day. |
| 0:12.5 | Yes, two Formula One car launches in one day always makes me question whether they talk to each other or whether it's just, you know, unlucky that they both chose the same date, but you would think as Formula One teams, they would go, when are you? When are you launching? The same? Within an hour of each other, absolutely. That's what we would do. We've already booked a massive cruise ship. I'm sorry. We can't really do anything. Yeah, and Ferrari, like, no. We're still pacing the video then. |
| 0:38.0 | We're launched just before you to ruin all of your MSC cruise work that you've done. |
| 0:43.5 | But yes, we were on a cruise ship, Tommy. |
| 0:45.4 | Well, we weren't, but they were. |
| 0:48.0 | Sadly, we didn't get an invite to go on the cruise ship. |

| 1:11.3 | Tommy, you ruined my joke. |
| 1:14.1 | For God. |
| 1:14.5 | I can't be bothered. |
| 1:18.4 | I was going to say, so instead, they did a dull, dreary one on a cruise ship. |
| 1:22.5 | I just tapped the ball in there. |
| 1:24.9 | Yeah, no, yes. |
| 1:26.2 | Yeah, you were doing step-over. Don't touch my ball in there. Yeah, no, yes. Yeah, you were doing step over. |
| 1:27.6 | Don't touch my ball, Tommy, all right? |
| 1:32.8 | Oh, for God's sake. |
