Rossi with the epic troll! I personally enjoyed seeing the live reactions and genuine shock! Can we please get a Sirius XM team with Hinch, Rossi, and Conor...owned and run by Thim, of course, fueled by Malort.
Thanks Rossi for seeing us, haha. My son is a big fan of yours, so we have all the gear! Good luck for your future ride! Wonder what new color or colors it’ll be :) it’s not helping his indecisiveness…which one do I wear today?
My only disappointment is no one has talked about how Theo was treated. I get that Alex couldn't talk about it before and maybe still can't, but it is clear to me McLaren is really fickle. Alex is making the right call in getting out
25:21 F1 media failed to report or show damage to sidepod damage for Perez on lap 1. Big hole in the sidepod... but still yet another embarrassing performance from Perez.
What a weird, wacky and sort of downer feeling episode. First of all, you know how in international settings, airports, planes etc. they use 'Universal' signs, like the 'Universal Sign' of choking is hands on throat gagging? In broadcast hosting (visual or not) the Universal Sign of not giving an F about your audience--and by extension the project you're working on--is eating during the production of a show. Right in the audience's face and/or ears. It's nauseating and rude, yes, but more than that it communicates 'I Don't Care.' I don't care enough about this project and it's audience to find 10 minutes before or after sitting down to create it to eat, nope, I'll subject everyone taking time out of their day to listen to the show to my chomping and swallowing while talking on mic and camera instead. That's a conscious (maybe....MAYBE unconscious) choice to communicate exactly to both consumers and backers of a media content product exactly how you feel about it, and them. Message received, but it's a bummer. Alex made me feel really bummed, as, face-saving PR boilerplate aside, everyone knows his deal was not picked up on an excellent gig--in a field with VERY few of them--through essentially no fault, that we're aware of anyway, of his own. That is, it wasn't his driving performance. He's not a man of small pride and/or ego, nor intelligence, so it was obvious that even as he was mouthing the 'mutual decision' yadda yadda stuff, HE knew nobody believed it, and losing this gig was clearly a huge blow to him at a critical career point....and he KNEW that is was clear to be so. It was hard to watch, for me at least. It didn't help that it sounded like someone was stuffing a body down a laundry chute in the adjoining room, good grief man... I think IndyCar, like most of corporate America, is in serious contraction mode--as in, how can we cut expenses and increase revenues--and my sense is that ALL of Arrow McLaren's recent driver moves have been essentially about exactly and only that. I think there will be an ever smaller number of Indy drivers on really big money (Pato, Herta, Palou, likely Josef's new deal) and the rest of the salaried guys will have to live with numbers even further below this 'star' tier than ever. And teams, even ones ostensibly flush with cash like McLaren (and I'm not even sure that's accurate) will look to offset those salaries, modest as they may be, with sponsor or other forms of incoming revenue brought by the driver And, of course, the strictly pay-to-ride guys will remain. Where Alex fits in to this landscapes is tricky. I hope where he ultimately does is the best possible situation for him, on every level. On his day in the right car there are few faster than him, on all styles of circuits they run. The Halo thing is all just a head F, brother...
Rossi giggling and grinning while Hinch and Thim just lose their minds is a top 10 Off Track moment 😂
12:47 I love how Rossi just dropped the news bombshell on Hinch and Thim 😂
Thim was right - it was not obvious that the seat change wasn't happening immediately 🤣🤣 both on the podcast and in the press release (title)
Just gives me a reason to buy new Rossi gear 😎

I literally JUST bought a Rossi AM shirt at Road America! 😅😅
Same 😂😂
Yea I think I’ve bought every AM Rossi shirt or hoodie. Guess I’ll save it till it’s vintage 🙃
Imagine this statement without “literally”.
@@DeniM-sm2ij Imagine you shutting up 🤷🏻♂️

29:25 Oh wow somehow missed this in all the hybrid news that there isn't a reverse gear anymore
31:20 Nice one!
Rossi and Dixon to Coyne
Oh yes finally!
I like the Hinch guy. He’s seems like he knows what he’s talking about. Is the guy who was talking about testing Valentino’s brother?
My only disappointment is no one has talked about how Theo was treated. I get that Alex couldn't talk about it before and maybe still can't, but it is clear to me McLaren is really fickle. Alex is making the right call in getting out
Probably because Alex still would like a paycheck for the rest of the year. He did get absolutely screwed but there’s still politics
