93: F1 & The New White Boy of the Month

Brittany Brosky reflects on her British cultural roots, particularly her affection for the Essex accent and working-class British pub culture, which she finds authentic and emotionally resonant. She shares how her deep immersion in British shows like *Love Island* and *Back to Black* shaped her linguistic identity and worldview. A powerful, all-consuming admiration for Jack O'Connell fuels her obsession with his films, especially *Back to Black*, which she sees as a cultural and emotional milestone. The episode also delves into Formula One, exploring its dangers, history, and global appeal, while analyzing race scheduling, circuit design, and the contrast between Red Bull Racing’s accessible presence and traditional luxury brands. She discusses the emotional toll of high-risk sports, drawing from the film *Ferrari*, which illustrates the real dangers and human cost of elite competition. Broader themes include personal fandom, cultural nostalgia, and the influence of music and media in shaping identity. Her British-Irish heritage naturally surfaces in her speech and cultural references, reinforcing a deep connection to British cultural expressions.

You're right, guys! Out of fucks everyone doing! Oh, you guys, it's so nice to talk to you! Really! I'll just feel like it's been a while. This is the Brosky Report with your host, Brittany Brosky. Red, red, red, yellow, green. You're right, guys! Oh, you guys, it's so nice to talk to you, really! I just feel like it's been a while. It's been quite a while, like, a full week, you know what I mean? And I'm feeling a little bit like, I don't know if it's Darby or if it's sort of Camden or South London or Essex maybe. It's this sort of, if I've got what we're doing in English accent, this sort of what I'm going with, you know what I mean? I just rate it. I think it sounds sort of like, really? It's natural for me, you know what I mean? It rolls off the tongue. It rolls off the proverbial tongue. So I think I might do a real episode like this. I don't know. It fits. You know, I just sort of wanted to say like, to do an accent like this, I think I was raised, like, my formative years were sort of around British culture and like, I thought I was going to turn 18 and move to Oxford, you know what I mean? Like, go to Oxford, get me degree at university, but I don't know, it never worked out, did it? Because I was doing like everything, everything had a British union jack on it in Walmart and on Tumblr and Etsy or that sort of clothing. And I remember like, my whole closet was that and I had some five sauce. When I liked one direction, I liked five sauces well and they was Australian. I think there was Australian, weren't they? Or were they Kiwi? No, I think that was Australian. I didn't really, I don't rate that accent. I don't like it. I do like a much prefer like an Essex. And if you're going to do push, I do think it's quite really. I don't relate to this accent as much. There's something very charming about like the British blue collar working class, like really defining about sort of a councilist state class of that is truly the beating heart of England. Right, like that's where the culture comes from and it's where pubs and community like that's where it's built and I find it really charming and yeah, man, that sort of it. I don't think about being American because you forget I'm American sometimes when I'm really like deep into it. I've gone to UK before and when I'm there, I'll go to Greggs, I'll go to the local pub, whatever and I'll go in a sort of order and I always wonder like, do they know that I'm American because you can put it on quite thick. You can do the accent quite thick and I always wonder like, are you clocking me? Like, are you saying very much sort of fass out, fass out? And I never know, I never know because I've gone up to Greggs one time, Gregg, I've gone to visit Gregg and I've ordered like a sausage roll, like a disgusting, greasy sausage roll, maybe like a kebab and yeah, I don't know if I even cared. Or I've gone up to like a mackeys, probably like that, I don't know, maybe four, three, four years ago, I was in UK, ordered a mackeys and I'm like, I said, yeah, you're right, I've got a lot of number four. She said, is that all? She was American. And I said, yeah, that's all, anyway, I don't have the major difference for me, like when I was learning it, when I was sort of falling into it, was to do an accent like that. It sounds like you're chewing on your words, like you're chewing on your o's and as, maybe E, like it's very rounded when you're chewing on it. It's got to be almost in like the front of your mouth, because you're almost going to come out your teeth. And then the American accent is very er, it's very back of their throat, you don't move your mouth as much because it's in the back of your throat, it's kind of er. But the English language is there's a lot of glottal stops is what it's called. Uh-oh, that's what we call a glottal stop, because you're glottis, I could be speaking out of my ass right now, I'm not a fucking fanatician. Your glottis is what, it's that, or it's somewhere back there in the back of the throat. And so when you do uh-oh, or like, that sort of, it's glottal. Okay, I remember any linguists in the fucking chat. Anyway, you know what I also think is, um, I'm a dodeal fucking episode like this, I don't know, do you like it? Do you like it? Maybe next time I'll do like an Irish. I've got, I've got a perfect me Irish, um, up the parish. I've got work on it, it's not, it's not quite up to par with the rest of it, you know. But, um, yeah, man, I've been sort of like, I know. Do you know what, do you know what, do you know what it is? I've been doing a lot of jack-o-con or interviews, I've been watching a lot of jack-o-con or, oh, I just, I fancy him, don't I? I can't help it, I can't help it, I don't, I just love him. He's got girlfriend. Fuck it now. Fuck it now. I don't know if someone come on his fucking bonkers, I'm like a man. I like a fucking man who's got a fucking, oh my god. Is it my turn? I'd be happy. I just, like, win. My god, fucking hell. Come on, come on this fucking microphone and I make a mug out of myself. I make fucking mug. Yeah, I've been watching a lot of jack-o-con or, obviously, because of them sinners. Well, I was watching sinners, probably maybe three, four, five, ten times. I don't know if I sort of lost track at this point. But, you know, I was not aware of I've seen him before. He's been in other things and I'm like, it looks so familiar. I've never seen skins all the way through, which I know will shock people. Because I've got a lot of them, when I was doing TikToks, like 2020, 2021, early on I was doing skits. I do a lot of love island skits and I do a lot of them. You know, like Jimicollins and Tauy and Yolma Gamiol, that sort of thing. Just like the sort of topical British phrases. And it's fun, right? It's like a character. But I think to be able to do a character really well like that is sort of, it's a reverence for the anachronisms. It's that right word, like an anachronism. Anachronistic. Anachronistic. Now, why'd you say like that? Belonging to a period of other than that being portrayed. I guess it's sort of a culturally anachronistic phenomenon, right? Like, I'm not English against all better judgment. I know I look like it. I know it's sort of, it makes sense for me. But it's not, I'm not. So watching these sort of shows, like, this is its own little world. And it's so different from where I am and what I like, how I talk, how I speak to me mates and things I don't, you know. So watching it, I really absorbed it. I was also very young. Maybe I was like, I was very, I was a wee little girl. Like watching it, you're a sponge, I think, when you're little. Like when you're growing up. And I just absorbed it, man. I don't know why. I don't really know why it stopped. But yeah, I can't really place it as well. Like I said, it's sort of Essex. It's majority Essex because I was watching the only way Essex called Tauy. And it's sort of that East London, maybe. But I don't know, because I listened to Adele and things like that. People from Derby and Camden Town, Shout Out Camden. Oh my days, I'm meant to tell you not. I'm meant to tell you not. Okay. On the flight back from Miami. I've got to talk about F1, right? That's a whole separate thing. I'll do that in a minute. Like, give me a moment if you don't mind. On the flight back from Miami to Los Angeles, I was sort of on the plane. On YouTube, I had printed them back to black because guess what? It's got Jaco Connell. It's got Jaco in it. So, of course, I'm fucking watching it. And so I watch it. And it ignited a sort of animalistic sense of need and want and desire. It ignited a sort of animalistic desire in my spirit. And it's been quite hard to shake really. It's quite hard to not exist in that mental state or almost almost all of the time. And it is all consuming. It starts to sort of overtake the. Well, the spirit and mind and the body, really. And it's insatiable as well because you know that there's a level of. It's unattainable, really. And to watch a movie like that. I know he's in another one called. Sorry, a film. He's in another one called Lady. Something's love. Lady. Lady. Traveling. Lady. Lady Chatterley's lover. It has a 2022 film. Oh my God, that's fucking. This fucking. A Netflix film, Jack O'Connor, in McCorn and fuck me, fuck it off, fuck it out! I know what my. Y'all, it's been a long fucking time. It's been a long time since I have had this level of like, I'm thinking about him, I'm thinking about him all the time, he's in my dreams, I'm doing, you know. He's just like, it's been forever since I've had a celebrity crush that has truly been all-consuming. And it is all-consuming. I talk about him all the time, I think about him all the time, he has the lock screen on my phone, he's getting to a level that's not okay. It will pass, it will pass. The way what's I fucking talking about, I'm just watching back to black. And of course it's about Aimee Winehouse. No, they love Aimee, I don't love Aimee, and it's sort of, it's in Camden, and a lot of it sort of takes place in Camden Town, and it's very interesting to watch the pub culture, and that accent is just so, I love it, and she spoke a fucking mind, and she was just, I don't know, a fucking powerhouse, or I don't miss Aimee Winehouse. It's also fucked how the media treated Aimee. Like, we've seen iterations, but Aimee got the fucking worst of it. Like, truly, when they say Hollywood just sucks the life out of you, like it's that, when you lose a sense of private intimacy, when you lose a sense of your own reality and narrative, because some this other is creating it for you, where does that leave you mentally, especially as someone struggling with addiction, publicly, not by choice, right? It's like just what a shit unfathomable, unfair, and just ultimately tragic thing. And I do think the movie kind of showcased that of just how debilitating that was. You cannot live, you cannot even have a sense of normalcy with that sort of media attention, and they just, they take and take and take and they just bleed you dry until there's nothing left. I think the media killed Aimee Winehouse, and I mean that. It's fucking sick. Anyway, Jack O'Connell in this movie. Okay. Okay, okay, yes, yes. So sort of start on me that, oh, right, I'll talk about F1 now. I'll go back to F1, which will return. I'll wait to F1, Formula 1, Formula 1, hold on, because sometimes in a British accent, when it's two words, and they both, with a first word, ends in a vowel, and the next word starts in a vowel, like Formula 1, you would say, Formula 1. I guess it depends on the vowel. But I never heard them, sort of them ringing. Maybe that's just, maybe that's just Liverpool. You know the song, what's fucking song is that? But I never sort them sing till there was you by the Beatles. The way Paul McCartney sings this song, he, there's a moment in it where he does that. And I want to know what that's a phenomenon. I don't, I want to know what it's called. It's like a dip thong, maybe. Then there was music and wonderful roses. They tell me in sweet fragrant metals of dawn and dew. There was love all around, but I never heard it singing. Where the fuck is that? It taught me a two word for roses. But I never sort them ringing. So that doesn't even make sense. Saw them, saw, saw them. Maybe that's just a Liverpool thing. Maybe it's a Northern thing. I don't fucking know. They want, I don't fucking know. I'm not a fucking scientist. He's, he's so fucking fit. He is so fucking fit. It makes me sick. There was a movie, there was a film he did called, um, Sass rogue heroes. Sass rogue heroes, where he's sort of like, he's in the military. I think he's in the infantry or something. I like that. Is there a World War Two or one? I don't know. But he's in that fucking, I am partial to a man in uniform. I don't know why it's not good for me. I know it's, you know, very sort of shit heads. I don't give a shit. I don't care. I can't be asked. I can't be asked to care. But, um, I know he's in that, he's in that film with much further sort of sexy men. They are fit. But he died his hair. This, um, it's like a golden blonde. He's gold. And I don't know, man, I don't know. He did something to me. He did something to me mental. I don't know. Okay, um, what else? Okay, F1, he, uh, I went to F1. All that to say, I'll talk about F1 a second, but on the way back, I watched this movie called Ferrari. And it's about in software. And it's got Adam Driver plays in the Ferrari crazy. And it's based in the 50s. It's set in like 1957. And it's at this, the, the apex of Ferrari is right now at this time only a sort of Italian phenomenon. And it's, it's a gem in the, the crown jewel of fucking Italy or whatever. And we're teetering on the edge of it. It's about to go global. It's about to be, you know, internationally recognized as a luxury, race car, you know, both of those where it's a luxury automobile company and it's internationally acclaimed race cars. And 1957. So it's the classic car models and stellar cast. It's got a Patrick Dempsey and Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz. And, uh, Penelope Cruz fucking ate down on that movie. By the way, she is the best part of the movie. And Jakoko always got, he's got Jakko in it, my Jakko. And I literally watched this movie for him. And also because it was relevant to F1. And I was like, because now I give a shit about F1. And I was like, um, Jakko come on F1 movie. Yeah, I think my penis is hard. And so I put it on on the plate. And I was sweating and my fucking state. Because he's got that golden Auburn fucking hair on that movie. Oh, oh, so I put it on. It's two hours long learned a lot. And it's kind of shit when you learn history from movies, all right? Because now I'm like, okay, what so Adam Driver was. Okay. So when Adam Driver was cheating on his wife was that 1956. So it's a really interesting story about how they're going under. Like Ferrari's going bankrupt and he has to look to either foreign investors or just having a business partner or an investor of some sort because he can't keep up the, the business as it currently stood. So Jakoko Connell plays a race driver. He plays a driver. And they do this. It's called the Miele Miele. The 1000, the 100 mile Miele. Miele Miele. Yeah. Famous car race that takes place in Italy. It's a historic race for classic cars, not a high-speed competition. And it's characterized by its unique route through beautiful Italian landscapes and the warmth of the public. It began in 1927. It means a thousand miles. Uh, referring to the original race route, which spanned about a thousand Roman miles, approximately 1500 kilometers, damn. Today the Miele Miele is primarily a race for classic and vintage cars, celebrating the rich history of Italian automotive design and engineering. Yeah. Period. Hi, Laura. So it's about the Miele Miele and it is, I would say it doesn't shy away from, in fact, it's a main focal point or narrative point of the story that this sort of driving is incredibly dangerous and always has been. And while in the modern era, you know, I guess there's more safety precautions in place, even being at F1, I was like, this shit is so fucking dangerous. The cars are made of, my brother taught me all this by the way, shout out, jet. The cars are made of titanium carbonate carbonite, carbonite, carbonite. And they're really flimsy because it's all about how the cars are aerodynamically designed and how it's, you know, it's sort of an acute triangle overall of how the cars is shaped so that when the wind hits it, it catches the wind. And it's so dangerous because these cars don't have wind shields, at least Formula One cars, which I was gagged to hear. And you're exposed to the elements, it was pissing rain at F1 Miami. And that's dangerous. 'Cause you're hitting 250 miles an hour on a straightaway, and then you have to break suddenly and turn. You're gonna spin out, and cars did spin out. Fucking Charles LeClaire went out at the Sprint Race. And I was like, "Look there!" Charles LeClaire, Chuck LeClaire, Chuck LeClaire, Chuck LeClaire, if you will. Chuckie, no! So he spun out, and I'm like, "Well, what happens now?" 'Cause that's the one car you get. It's all like there's backup cars, so they have to go fix it. And the qualifier was right after that. Like three hours after the Sprint Race, and the qualifiers to determine where your place is on the actual day of the Grand Prix. Like, "Are you the first car in line, or are you the 20th car in line?" And spinning out is crazy, because you have three hours to fix the car to determine where you're gonna be, and if you're last, brah. So I learned all this, and, oh, it's just so dangerous. And so watching this Ferrari movie, Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferra, watching this Ferrari movie was crazy, because back in the '50s, it just makes me think, I always think about this, like, flying on planes, and smoking. No safety precautions, just kind of a living life, but it's senior pants. Like, my grandparents used to drive around, no seatbelts. They used to hit us, beat 'em up, boom, you're in the air. It's just crazy, and the cars themselves were not safe. Electronics were not safe. Shit, you used to catch on fire. Maybe, I mean, it's just what a different time. Shit had led in it, I don't know. And while I feel like maybe things are more safe today, maybe they were better made back then. And the Ferrari movie was very interesting to watch, because they had to reconstruct the cars, the model cars that they used, and then destroy them after they finished filming, because if they were to, like, be out there, just sitting in some warehouse, or just the knowledge that they're out there, and there are replicas of the original Ferrari cars from the '50s that depreciates the value of the real ones, the authentic ones, and so they had to destroy them, which I thought was really interesting. I mean, this shit is so, it's just a different world, right? Watching them race these old cars, where the gears get stuck, or the brakes fucking rip out, or, you know, you hit something in the tire explodes, and you kill 30 people, like holy shit, and they're through these tiny little roads in Italy, and I'm just, I was, wow, I can't believe that was real. And then it got me thinking about, you know, obviously NASCAR and F1 and whatever today, they're those big guardrails, those fans are up in the stands, but even then, if a car collides and spins out, I don't know, it's just fucking dangerous, especially with inclement weather and whatever, and you're hitting such fast speeds, but a big focal point of the movie is death, and coming to, I guess, face to face with the reality of, to do this thing that you love, as with any, I guess, sport or endeavor that has an element of danger to it, for these adrenaline junkies, that is a reality that you have to face, and there's this really, I guess, somber scene, the night before the race, where they have all the drivers write a just in case letter to their loved one, their wife, their girlfriend, their mother, whatever, that says basically, you know, if anything happens to me tomorrow, here's what to do, like a last-will-intestimate or like just know that I loved you, it was really somber, and some of the drivers didn't make it. So it's like holy shit! And it's this eternal question of, is it worth it? This thing that brings me such immense joy and gives me purpose and it's fun, and I feel good at it and I train for it and I get paid a lot of fucking money if I win, is all that worth the potential loss of life and how that would affect people. And there's this really just horrific scene at the beginning where they're doing a practice race on a, it's not asphalt, it's just a dirt road, or maybe a disaster, but it's out in the middle of the country. And there was some, you know, electric or engineering mishap in the engine and it locks up and he can't break for a turn and he spins out, I mean through the air, probably 25, 30 feet up in the air and hits a fucking rock and dies. And it gets back to Ferrari and they're like, you know, bro died and he's like, give some money to his girlfriend, let's find a new driver. Holy shit! I mean, just it's cold, it's fucking cold. And I guess it's one of those things where, I mean, you think about something like the military where when you sign up for it, you're accepting the very real possibility and potential of death. And ultimately you're a warm body. You know, he was a very skilled driver but he was just a warm body in the car. That can be replaced. And there are people that would kill to be in that position. And so it's just very, what a different world from, you know, it's on the fringes of entertainment. These professional adrenaline junkie sports where they have huge fan bases. I mean, what was the last death in F1 was 2010 or something like that? That's not that long ago. So that was crazy. The Ferrari movie was, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Jack O'Connell and I think Adam Driver did great. It's always interesting to me in films like that where it takes place in another country yet the film is in English. Part of me is like, I almost wish it was just an Italian with English subtitles. And I wish they had picked Italian actors because as much as I thought we'd love Jack O'Connell at that night. It was, he actually plays an English driver. He plays Peter Collins. And so he, I guess, still would have been speaking English, but I don't know. It's like if you're gonna do an accent for a movie like that, fucking stick with it, and maybe study it and do it well. Like learn how to say the city names and shit like this. So anyway, on my list to watch is the F1 Netflix thing because I started it like two years ago. Bah, I don't give a fuck. Now I know the players, I know some of the drama, I know how the race works. Again, shout out to my brother. He taught me so much and I'm like, okay, I'm getting it, I'm getting it. I think the circuit as well, how many races they have to do in a year, it's like 32 races or something? Crazy business, crazy business. And can I speak my truth? One of my bucket list things before I even knew anything about F1, is the Monaco Grand Prix. I have always wanted to go to that because it's an Iron Man 2. Hello, it's an Iron Man 2. And it's actually a very important scene because that's where he meets Anton Vinco, okay? 'Cause Stark is like dying. 'Cause the palladium is poisoning his blood. So he goes on this string of self-destructive behavior. He's doing all these bucket list things. He's acting recklessly 'cause he thinks he's dying, aren't we all? And he, they're in Monaco for the Grand Prix. Stark Industries has a, they sponsor a racing team or I guess a racer and halfway through this meeting. By the way, Elon Musk is in that movie, crazy. This is in 2010 as when Iron Man 2 came out, crazy. How life changes. He goes Stark, Tony, if you will. Halfway through this like luncheon they're having to watch the Grand Prix disappears. And then on the TV behind Pepper, his CEO and girlfriend, he shows up next to the car in the Stark Industries racing uniform. And he's like stolen it from the driver. The driver's pissed off and like throws the helmet on the floor. And Tony's like, what's the point of having and owning a race car if you can't drive it? And the race car driver's like, and so he races in the Monaco Grand Prix. And that's how I know about the Monaco Grand Prix 'cause they show these wide sweeping, wide shots or drone shots of the fucking Bay and the mountains and all the houses and oh, it's just what a dream. And since I saw that when I was a kid, I was like, Monco Grand Prix. And now there's the possibility that I could be going to the Monaco Grand Prix. This life is fucking stupid. This shit is stupid.

Shout out to red bull. And they had in my hotel room they had gotten me blueberry red bull. They're like it's out of season right now. Okay, right now we're doing wild peach. We're doing wild peach sugar free. Best I can do is wild peach. You guys don't have blueberry. They're like let me see what I can do. So in my hotel room it was so sweet. They gave me blueberry red bull. A coveted item. So I had that and we went and man it's just such a universe because the thing about f1 is it's international. So so many people there were not American and it's so much shit like that is so much fun to see. I mean it was like when I went to the Olympics I've never experienced anything like that of it's not a bunch of mouth-breathing sunburn Americans at a NASCAR race. Even though NASCAR is fun. I mean I've been to a NASCAR race. It's it's very it's almost like you know it's a leg up and that was fun to watch all the different cultures. I mean people bring their flags and and they wear all their racing gear and and they come to support and it's fun and that shit is not cheap like a ticket to everyone's like $450. I don't know and it rained it rained the whole time but it was great and so we were with red bull and man it's just at an event like that anyone could go. It's kind of like an NFL game when you're in one of those boxweets or whatever where we were fucking DJ Khaled was there. I walked right by DJ Khaled. Bring out the whole ocean. Life is roadblocks. Crazy. We walked by DJ Khaled. Who else was oh Timothy my twin and best friend Timothy Chalamet. I didn't get to see him he was he stayed over in the pad in the garage and he was supposed to come over to where we were but I don't he never did and I was like that is so this shit is so serendipitous like what do you mean? And so we were watching the race and cracked out on red bull and it was so much fun. Ultimately Max did place fourth fourth or fifth McLaren one Oscar Oscar Pietro Pietri and he is hot ultimately and landonoris is hot ultimately and that was fun as well to see a bunch of beautiful men they let us go in the paddock like actually where Max's car is and that was fucking nuts there it is a science it takes them three days to build that whole setup in there six hours to strike it damn where they hold the tires the tires are heated and have a certain air around them like to keep them ready for and all the different types of tires that was telling me about where you know red is is the best for racing with sometimes you gotta go yellow and white is to go around is sort of like you know these are the pretty ones they're so it's just such a science and how many times they run the circuit I mean you're very familiar with every turn every crevice every you know if the wind is moving a different way and try to do this turn of one second you know one tenth of a second faster it's just crazy and I was shocked to hear how young all of them are I mean the what's his name Kimmy the Italian for what team does he drive for he's 18 18 team nuts and you know what I kept mentioning to people because I can't help it they have a f1 academy which I guess is where they they train and that's such a rich person activity right you gotta be a richo to train for something like that it's all women and I was like how have there never been female f1 drivers and they're like oh they had no no no a woman in the like 20 for the Grand Prix like why are there and they're like you know well it's not inherently like they're barred or anything it's just you know like what Kimmy came from the f1 academy and I'm like okay so I'm yeah guys I'd love to see a woman out there fucking please that would be really cool uh because it's all men and that's fine I guess whatever well it's not fine I'd like to see a woman win but yeah that's the that was the long and short of it I had a fucking blast and Red Bull really hooked it up I got so much swag I got some merch and it's just really neat to participate in an event like that that's global and it travels with so many cities they're done with the American races now and now they're in Italy I think this week and then Monaco after that Barcelona I mean it's just crazy they weren't Japan max one Japan I think I I don't know about but I'm just very happy ultimately that I could combine my two special interests right now of f1 and jack o'Connell because they sort of love them but really I really do love them this jack o'Connell shit y'all y'all just please be patient with me you have to see me through it okay it'll be done before you know it but I'm liking this too y'all have seen me through a lot okay I was the Austin Butler phase again I'm sorry about that I kind of went over the top with that I had a really intense my Pedro phase of course that was horrific and I'm I'd like to apologize I'd like to apologize about my rubber patents and phase it's also it's horrifying now because I've met the majority of these people I did not meet Austin Butler I don't know if I can ever read Austin Butler but ultimately you know what I say on the interweb will be realized and that's horrifying because at my core and to the heart of me I'm a fangirl there's something about a fangirl that's not meant to meet the person you fan out about because I like things in a weird way I like I like things in a weird way I don't I'm not a casual observer I'm not oh yeah I saw that movie he's excellent and I know where you were born I know what your favorite food is I know what you said on 2008 you know on a stormy day and a interview in a hotel you gave that was a print magazine I I cannot like things a normal amount and when I work in this industry where there is a high likelihood that I will either be at a premiere an event a party whatever where I will see that person and ultimately you know someone on their team is like a phantom or my agent goes and it's just like you want to meet no no I don't want to meet Robert any junior what the fuck are you talking about I don't want to meet him I damn your got a tattoo for Robert any junior like I can't just go and be like Robert I'm such a huge fan of your work no yeah it's really great to me I can't do that shit okay and I try I try and fake I really do try and be professional I'm such a big fan that's really nice for you have a good one and I turn around and I do into a brown paper bag like I try bro sometimes I really just I can't keep it in my pants I really can't when did I pee I peed on myself one time I peed on myself uh oh when I met Harry yeah the first time I met Harry I peed on myself I literally I was so excited I was like right after he left the room a little pee came out and I was like I don't think that that is something that would ever open me up to being in a room with him ever again if they knew that I soiled myself when I met Harry style when you get to embrace the man that sort of gave you a worldview gifted you a worldview and gifted you a mantra to walk through life with treat people with kindness and to model how you treat people and see the world and receive the world when you get to embrace the person who gave that to you how do you not leak a little bit yeah I leaked fucking piss and liquid whatever oh and you want it and you want it whenever and when I meet Robert Denning Jr. when I meet Jack O'Connell I would just like to apologize up front to both of them because I know it's going to happen and I'm going to be weird I'm going to be weird I don't know how to not be weird whatever I wanted to google some shit about f1 because you know it's nice to have someone there that you can ask questions too but it's just it's a lot of questions and I have really hyper specific questions that sometimes Jack was like I don't know so I'm going to google why is the grand prix 57 laps right because that's such a specific number I don't know the number of laps in a formula one this is from Gemini AI overview the number of laps in a formula one grand prix is determined by the minimum race distance which is 305 kilometers the number of laps needed to reach that distance varies depending on the length of each circuit for example the Miami Grand Prix is 57 while the Melbourne Grand Prix is 58 now that is crazy why is it 305 why is the Grand Prix 305 kilometers that was another thing when I was watching the Ferrari movie They did not stick to the accent. and it was making me very sort of a, that's not it. - That kind of turned Swedish for a second. - If you're going to do Italian, stick with the Italian and they were saying city names and I was like, "Bro, it was just, you know, that was about one note." I was like, "God, I wish this was in Italian." Anyway, rather than haphazardly racing on random roads in each nation, rules established in 1989 dictate that each race would run for 305 kilometers or 190 miles. Each circuit's length will vary, but an F1 race will see the drivers repeatedly lap the track until they complete 305 kilometers. Where did that come from though? - Oh, tea. The sole exception to this rule is Monaco's extraordinarily tight and twisty street circuit, which runs for 260 kilometers instead. - I'm just going to read this shit out because I'm learning it and therefore I'm kind of teaching you guys. Each Grand Prix, each Grand Prix begins with a formation lap. Is there one in Paris? Is there a French Grand Prix? Yes, there is a French Grand Prix. While it was not part of the 2023 Formula One calendar, the 2022 French Grand Prix was held at the circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet. The race was officially known as the Formula One Lenovo Grand Prix de France. Why is the Monaco Grand Prix so famous? It's unique track layout, prestigious history, and the glamorous setting it's held in. The narrow winding streets of Monte Carlo make it a challenging and visually stunning circuit for drivers. The race is long history dating back to 1929 and its role as a major part of the Formula One world championship contribute to its iconic status. F1 schedule 2025. - Okay, yeah, as I'm looking at this again. Oscar Piastodie. Oscar Piastodie, which I think he's Australian. Is he Australian? This is his fourth win this year. There have only been one, two, three, four, five, five, six, seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One. Oh, sorry, six. There have been six. And he's one four of them. Max one in Japan. Lando Norris one in Australia and the rest have been fucking Oscar crazy. Okay, next up is Emilia Romagna. Formula One AWS Grand Prix Mio de Madgrant, Grand Prix Mio, Grand Prix Mio. What, there is a slight difference between a Spanish and Italian accent. Actually, there's a huge difference if you really want to get granular. But I always consider it, it's in the lifting of it. Grand Prix Mio versus Grand Prix Mio, right? Or am I making that up? Anyway, Del made in Italy and Del Madeleia Romagna 2025. That's May 16th and 18th, Monaco Spain, which is Barcelona, I believe, Canada, Austria, Great Britain, Belgium, Hungary, Netherlands, Italy, Azerbaijan, Singapore, United States, where is that? MSC Cruises. Mexico, Brazil, Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi. Okay, so there's not one in France. I wonder why, Paris feels like a, maybe they're like, we don't want that shit here. Get that loud shit away. Formula One MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix. Where is it? Circuit of the Americas. Is that in Austin? Austin, I am so smart. When is Austin on 17th through 19th October? That's right around ACL. It's like one week and after ACL, might have to go check out the Austin Grand Prix. Why isn't there a France F1 race? The French Grand Prix is currently not on the Formula One calendar due to a few factors. Primarily, the number of races on the calendar is increasing, leading to competition for spots. And the French Grand Prix was dropped after four years at Circuit Paul Recald. The Monaco Grand Prix, a highly prestigious event, also makes it difficult to schedule another race in the same area. I guess that's true because Monaco's like, it's South France. Well, it's its own country, right? Monaco's its own country, but they speak French there. And they speak German. They speak what language is spoken? And Monaco. French. Monégasque, a variety of Ligurian, is the national language of the Monégasque people. However, it's the primary language of a very few people. There are several other languages spoken in addition to French and Monégasque, including Italian and English. Because look where it is. La familia tamo, Naco. Monaco, look how tiny this is. OK, so there it is. And here is the grand, it's right by niece. It's like the very southeast of the French and Italian border. This is Rich People Shit.

Oh, they're saying it makes it difficult to schedule another race in the general area due to potential overlap 'cause they both speak French. Okay, sure. Some fans and experts have criticized the race at Circuit Poll, Poll, Poll, Recalde, where the French Grand Prix was held from 2018 to 2022 for lacking excitement and overtaking opportunities. I will say, having been an F1 expert as of two days ago, I agree because when we were positioned our viewing point was positioned at a very interesting turn. It was almost like an S and they're coming straight from this super long straightaway where they're hitting really intensely fast speeds and then they have to break all of the sudden and like switch gears and go around. And so that's a perfect opportunity. Like if you're on the inside for someone to overtake you on the outside and then you know what happens again because it's the sort of S curve and then you go super fast again. Ultimately what Jett was telling me is it comes down to how well the driver knows their car and how well the engine runs, how well the car is built. And for some reason McLaren just, they have great cars and I don't know if, 'cause here's the thing also as well, okay? When I was around the age of 10 or 11, my favorite movie was Speed Racer 'cause I thought Emil Hirsch was hot, okay? Who doesn't? I watched Speed Racer probably about 350 times and I remember there's this scene where someone's teaching him how to drive or he's teaching someone else how to drive. I don't remember. I haven't seen it probably 15 years. I should watch Speed Racer tonight. Yeah, yeah, oh by the way, I watched Beautiful Creatures after the last episode. It's so great, it's so fucking great. I don't care, I really enjoyed it. The ending pisses me off, but I still really enjoyed it. Speed racer. There's a part where he drives on this crazy track with his eyes closed because you have to know the track and it's a really cool sequence, actually, or maybe I'm just seeing this through my 11 year old eyes, like this movie's awesome. Where he breathes in and everything goes quiet and he's switching gears and he's doing all this bullshit and he's whatever, 'cause he is part of the car. That's the whole thing. It's like you have to be the car. ♪ You gotta lick the marble ♪ ♪ You gotta be the marble ♪ That's what it is. And so that but like I'm getting it now. I'm getting it. Okay, cars speed. I am speed. I Rookie's for breakfast lightning McQueen. It was so funny during the whole fucking race I kept leaning over to jet being like so which one is like dineco and Restaurant is chick Hicks Kuchiga Kuchiga And which one is lightning McQueen and then on F1 because here's a different I think right it cars are supposed to be a NASCAR in the NASCAR universe F1 is different so they have different rules and different names for shit They would call it like when a car gets injured, okay? the safety car comes out and It leads everyone and they haven't on the screen like safety car virtual safety car or whatever and I think it's a It's an Aston Martin. Is that the what the safety car is? I don't know But it's got a light on it and it's like you know Hey, and they lead them around the track for a second until it's it's clear or like if there's a crash god forbid They have to get this crazy crane out and grab the grip beep beep beep and that's a danger because what if the cars like this and they can't you know It's blocking the road and then here comes 19 other cars going 300 miles an hour. So I feel like an old man right now. I Genuinely feel like an old man Okay, anyway What was I saying oh and I kept saying with the safety car came out. I said So that's like the pace car in cars, right and Jack goes yes, it's like the pace car and cars this guy Charlie checker Yeah, official pace car you This guy official pace car he'd come out. He's like whoa whoa whoa right for the piston cup and He's real serious because you don't you don't overtake the pace car. That is a no no no Yeah, it was it was just it was crazy the whole thing I I think I would have enjoyed f1 more if they would have been playing the car soundtrack over the speakers It's real gone if they would have been playing some rascal flash life as a highway if they would have been doing some Behind the clouds the sun is shining Brad Paisley again Brad Paisley mentioned two weeks in a row That soundtrack is just fucking great. Life could be dream Life could be dream Life could be dream sweetheart. Hello. Hello, again. You don't remember the meeting again What a great song. Yeah, that whole soundtrack if they would have been playing that you know Volume 150 over those people. I don't want to hear the commentary Cars we're hitting each other smack it against one That would have been the vibe okay in my head the movie that's always playing in my head That would have been the collage sequence the montage okay. It's also T that Red Bull First of all has two teams crazy and second of all there's such an outlier This is what Joe was telling me as well. They're an outlier because the rest of the teams are like Professional or not professional. They are luxury car brands for the most part I mean, there's some outliers, but Red Bull feels like the most successful rich like they just are really freaking their shit Compared to legacy brands like Ferrari or Aston Martin or McLaren or whatever that are The majority of their money comes from I guess just being rich and famous and like having people buy those cars Versus Red Bull you can get a Red Bull at a gas station like it's very I guess more Democratic and its approach and to have two teams. It's just nuts like I was saying we were able to go into the paddock And see the car. I had no idea that the drivers essentially are like laying down and you pull so many g's On your neck and like I guess chest when you're going that fucking fast that they have to wear these crazy neck braces Nuts you got to be a thick neck motherfucker to drive for f1 You got to be a thick neck big forehead bitch to drive for f1 and that's for real for real They're also so skinny and tiny. We were in the paddock all I Need to be like Muzzled and caged like a fucking dog. We were in this paddock And I leaned over to the girl giving us a tour and I said is it a requirement that everyone that works in here is sexy She started laughing. I said I'm being serious. It was ridiculous like not an ugly man in sight And I said What is going on are they all like because Max is Belgian Dutch Belgian Dutch Max verse stoppin Dutch Belgian I'm a genius He's my age shout out it's all these dudes in there and they're just they are so beautiful I was really having a tough time.

She just will sing it as a transition into one of her own songs. I mean, it's genius because she finds a similar, it's just, oh my god, I love her to goddamn death. But there were like three or four instances where I'm like, holy fuck, I know all these songs are Beyonce. I love Beyonce.

Brittany notes that American accents are positioned in the back of the throat with less mouth movement, while British accents involve more front-of-the-mouth articulation, especially with rounded 'o' and 'a' sounds, and frequent glottal stops like 'uh-oh'.

She is drawn to the film's authentic portrayal of British pub culture, the Essex accent, and the life of Aimee Winehouse. She finds the storytelling powerful and emotionally resonant, though she criticizes the media's treatment of Winehouse as harmful and dehumanizing.

After watching 'Back to Black' and other films, she developed a consuming celebrity crush on Jack O’Connell, describing it as all-consuming and affecting her daily life, including her phone lock screen and dreams.

She sees it as a cultural touchstone that reflects genuine British working-class life, particularly in places like Camden and Essex, and values the authenticity and emotional depth it brings to the storytelling.
