087 - When the Rubber Meets the Road - with Matt Trumpets

Season 3 Episode 4

Skap-bop-dobiddily-beep sha-bibity Midfielders!
  Just a little mind-melting scat to start us out as we bring in the freshest face to the Midfield guest lineup. It's our new friend Matt Trumpets from the Missed Apex Podcast! Tires baby! He's all four 'em! No more puns I swear. The man knows his rubber, and we know very little! 2025 is shaping up to be a Goodyear for the Midfield, okay for serious I'm done now.

  Into the origins with Mr. Trumpets! He spins his yarn from an early love of cycling in the dawn (literally) of the network television explosion. That's right kids, pre-streaming, you had to get up early to see things! My back hurts and I need an alka seltzer. But falling for F1 by proxy, and dedicating his mind to tires with a force that only a world class performer could.

  Viscoelasticity! Seriously my brain is still a puddle of goo from discussing tires. We get Matt's take on some of the "Technical Directives". It's good to have a guy like Matt on our team, who's been following the sport for a long enough to help us understand the mushy, flippy-floppy, lawyer-speak them fancy city-race car folk do! Fiddle-brakes! Hey, if ya ain't cheatin', ya ain't racin'.

  We had such an excellent time getting to know Matt, and got him to sign the blood pact, so he'll be back for sure! If you're in the big apple and want to hear some delectable jams, some crunchy grooves, and some juicy tunes be sure to check out the links below and find out where Matt will be trumpeting next! And if you're listening to us be total doofus' (doofi?), go listen to the big dawgs over at Missed Apex! Race hard and keep it clean Midfielders!
