Formula1blog.com Podcast #400

Join Grace, Paul and me as we discuss podcast #400. We cover the news of the week at around 16 minute mark and we thought it might be fun to talk about what was happening in F1 when we started the podcasts. Did you play Podcast bingo? Here’s how:

Formula 1 Blog bingo – 400th Podcast Special

By Dave (MIE)

Forum regulars may recall that to celebrate every 50th podcast on the main show we have played a drinking game called Drink along with Grace. The idea of this game was that every time one of the phrases listed was mentioned on the podcast, you would take a drink from your chosen beverage. The idea being that by the end of the podcast the listeners would have consumed almost as much as Grace.

For the 350th podcast, this game was modified slightly to take account of the fact that many people listen to the podcast while driving. . Below are listed some of the more popular phrases that have been uttered over the first 399 podcasts. The idea is that each listener picks ten phrases from the list before listening to podcast 400. Then they record the time when all ten of their phrases have been uttered at least once. The listener who has their phrases said in the shortest time wins.

Pick ten phrases from this list:
1. ‘the word Formula, the numeral one, blog dot com’;
2. ‘what are you imbibing tonight’;
3. ‘AUTOSPORT’ if said in Todd’s British accent;
4. ‘PATRICK HEAD’;
5. ‘The International Paul Charsley’;
6. ‘Shake Shake Shake’;
7. ‘High Degradation Tyres’;
8. ‘Donkey Racing System’;
9. ‘BARF 1’;
10. Any time Grace says ‘Sobber’ instead of ‘Sauber’;
11. ‘Angel babies’
12. ‘Spa 98’;
13. ‘Vrooom’;
14. Cricket sound effects;
15. Any mention of Andy in a Tutu;
16. ‘I’ll believe it when the boxes turn up’;
17. ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’;
18. ‘Luca de blah blah’;
19. Any mention of Grace driving a hire car across train tracks;
20. ‘Ferrari arm waving’;
21. ‘never underestimate McLaren’s ability to shoot themselves in the foot’;
22. Any mention of the podcast in the cave;
23. Any mention of Lewis Hamilton flying over a Turkish opera;
24. Any sounds of Grace eating;
25. ‘what’s the deal with Heikki?’;
26. ‘total bullshit’ if said in a Niki Lauda accent;
27. Any sounds of pets in the background;
28. Any mention of Grace’s photographs from Hawaii;
29. Any mention of the sound of the engines this year compared to previous seasons;
30. Any mention of Star Wars.
In the unlikely event that ten phrases aren’t picked, the person with the most phrases read out will be the winner. Unfortunately as this would be hard to monitor, there is no prize, just bragging rights on F1B.
