to patrick she worst on the racing scene in may 25 when she led indy bike 1000 laps finished for the spring of 63 years later in april 2008 she became the 1st woman to win a major league open wheel racing was in japan from up mistaken and she's now the host of well coming from a pretty intense career the pretty intense podcast please welcome the patrick how are you i'm good how are you. fine thing for her it was probably on your hard drive from young i think i read on your notes as i was reading that you started to go carts and wisconsin and h 10 but. i want you to just speak about how tiring it it you know i often think about that in race and oh it's like reflexes all that and you know a good brain but man the duration must be the biggest part. yeah i mean back at the end of it going to let's say darlington for the southern $500.00 nascar
11:31 pm
500 miles around darlington in the middle of the summer at night like so like the track is half way sandy is it so near the beach and the track was so hard to drive you drove up by the wall there always be a lot of yellow flags and that race i remember was 5 hours i remember one when your was 5 hours long so you know you start off and go carts going for 8 laps which takes minutes and then you know you graduate up just kind of like speed you know it's not like i all the sudden was in an indy car going 240 miles an hour i started off going you know 35 miles an hour in a go cart. you know when i when i think about golf they always talk about how you have to concentrate for 18 rounds because it can go away like that granted then you get a ball. in this car 35 in the turf if you go away for a 2nd you're into the wall and i always boggled. have you ever had a moment or would you even admit to it that you kind of go away mentally for
11:32 pm
a 2nd or that just can't happen when you're just i would admit to yeah. you know maybe get a feel for it i'm pretty transparent but you know one of the times it happened it happened to me or the kind of time that it would happen more frequently is that say coming out of the corner and you kind of exit in off of the corner and you look to the inside of the track where there'd be a timing and scoring pylon and maybe you look to see where you were other cars were something like that you sort of check something out around your you look in your rearview mirror for a little bit and all the sudden you'd be like whoa press and you'd like just about hit the wall so you know it wasn't always like right in the corner that felt like i was able to stay locked in in those moments but there were plenty of others where you like run mine did how very focused you had to be at all times. you know then i went back to the live in mana seato and began to tell he was my neighbor my friend for years he takes me in the wants she takes me to the
11:33 pm
brickyard we stay in that hell in the i.a.f. they've run of 8 airports it was the worst one not all of those. who aren't down for it. i'm in a place where i literally it's the hotel where i keep my shoes off some in the room . a.j. for it's sitting on a chase a lot jump above me would i you know i get the end of the day is just a good old boy i remember that about it and i also remember at the puts me in this 2 person car with this guy he does 4 lives a good set up to run 180 and i wish to shock you know i mean folks you watch the race you can't believe it but it's sort of the new it's how dangerous it is because even a $180.00 i'm talking about 55 miles below what they might pick out at and. i couldn't believe that when i would get thrown into the side of the current term. yeah i think that at the highest level of everything including what you did being able to
11:34 pm
stand on stage like those are the kind of things that people you know being able to have a monologue like the some people are so stiff so scared of you know being on a stage that they'd rather jump out of an airplane you know like there's there's so many things that. individual people are good at and so look i mean it wasn't as though i all the sudden did that like i said but yes that was what i did and you did things people can do and i did things people can do and that's what makes them world magical right we get to go witnessing these and you think people doing amazing things. i dug the juice he must've felt like such a bad i mean really you know i mean those the. there's a there's a time in life when the man is the woman i look at brady of his the male and i look at joe the jews a woman. or a fighter there you must have dug the juice right and you know what made me feel really cool was when talladega when talladega came out by eric church he's singing
11:35 pm
about how cool talladega was and i'm like yeah i do that. it is a rush tell me about the incremental steps you take it to go karts like you said and i admired the moxie getting then there's one thing i can't believe as a young woman to take off to europe to run with those mad mad over there in an ancillary way it seems to have a career as a venture we'll talk about the oh yeah tell me oh no europe was a young woman. i mean i left school when i was 16 i had the opportunity to race over there and i left high school i ended up getting my ged so please don't ask me about how great school is because i don't have much to say i got my college i got my college education and in england racing cars and you know it was a real proving ground for me so it was over there that i met my eventual boss when i came back to the states which was bobby ray hall and he was running
11:36 pm
a formula one team in england so get this so we met up in england at a t.g.i. friday's for lunch isn't that cute. and we kind of became friends and then i put him on the spot one day and he ended up giving me a job and. you know i'm so grateful that it worked out because it made him look smart because people were asking him like what are you thinking of hiring this girl and you know think thank goodness it ended up working out and i just about you know sat on the pole and won the indy 500 my 1st year but. and then i just and then i did a couple like a couple years of the formula right below indy cars and then it was in the car. no i think ends up with letterman at some point if i'm not mistaken but they then they end up doing some business together i think you know yeah i just thought dave again this year because i when i was part of the broadcast and and so their driver to cusato one so i went down there and of course it's kind of
11:37 pm
a craze so you know you have your mask on and i'd tap dave on the shoulder as like hi and then i had to like go pythonic and he's like oh harry. but it began but it was good i'll see bob and bob when and you know especially just you know i have a soft spot he was just the guy who gave me a chance. dave one of the few guys who quite frankly is at home with social distancing because it was not evan. it was always a little wonder sort of i think when they say you go stay 6 feet away from. letterman say and finally thank you very much where's the goodbye whole like you know then again when i went back to india and i watched the drivers photo and they were also genial guys but i was struck there's a lot of jockey and. there's a lot of small guys you know you forget that that cabin is i can imagine there must not be some claustrophobia if you're too big you obviously a life diminutive gal when you jump did it sort of fit way so you've got the gold
11:38 pm
for you right up front it's a better fit right now well you know i just couldn't dunk a basketball so i thought what else could i do and read and write into the seat so yeah i'm definitely on the small side but most drivers are and i've often wondered i really have wondered whether or not it's. because you know we didn't fit into other sports well because you know racecar drivers are generally like fellows going to give a height and weight and probably be like 58160 like small do and sometimes girls i'm not i mean 165-1110 so i was on the small side and i don't and wondered if it's because we didn't work out in any other sports or because we're suited for the sport you know when i talk to those drivers the thing i remember is i've never felt more earthbound that i think the other athletes are my
11:39 pm
life i can sort of communicate with tennis players a bit out there playing hack tennis like a civilian i can golf a lot of life. football players that kind of give you a wide berth are so big they understand when i talk to those drivers i could sense they bury pretty they they're good because they're into promotion and that and the branding and all that but early on i could see they were a little bored by me so i can't believe you you know they were nice about a but it's like they wanted you could see that they're in a different mindset it's not like they're going out there every day i can't believe i do there's they're going out there and think i need 2 to 3 more miles per hour has something to thing that we were really are you saying that there's like an intellectual like what do you say no no i'm so you know there were a lot but i think they dug their place they were fully aware of that they probably reflects wise were in the top 110000th of one percent on the planet earth and they were when guys like me would go on about how dangerous it must be the kind of paid
11:40 pm
lip service to it but they thought i kind of know what i'm doing and i also realize that you can go horribly wrong at any given moment they have a fatalist about them. true true there is though though the thing that i noticed when i retired after i retired in 2018 and i finished up with the indy 500 and then i came back the next year was part of the broadcast and i realized as the cars were starting the race and i'm sitting on pit lane eating some like apple chips or something like that like going wow it's really different this year than last year i remember thinking to myself like a i was able to read i was able to actually access that perspective of danger in the car that i wasn't able to really. really like accept and understand and even think about much because you knew you were you do it was dangerous but you didn't allow yourself to really feel that so i think
11:41 pm
that once i was done i was like oh that was crazy. yeah well i can see why they have spouses via a woman married to a man or a man with the woman got with a clipboard and a stopwatch asking them to do splits because if you love somebody at least they're in the car they've got you that's in their hands when you're sitting there and you love somebody who's like you know you're you're part of a while and i can't imagine doing that can't imagine watching somebody flying around at that speed but i'm trying to think that your whole become a lot when you're married to the did it come to dances and all yeah i know but i was there he was always there and you know my 1st my 1st race had a really big accident and everyone was freaked out because i wasn't responding on the radio because it had broken apart so badly that there was i couldn't hear anything i also had some amnesia and you know ended up getting rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and things like that so maybe it was maybe actually they
11:42 pm
didn't talk and i couldn't respond but then then after that i dated someone who did exactly what i did so after that i did someone who did who i've raced against. so if you're down they want the critter downtimes day one year we said he threw it down time today let's not trash each other. that's so that's so touch. but it's not chocolate covered strawberries or feeding pajamas but just to know you're not going to hurtle into turn 3 and drive somebody up into the wall i want to talk to you not agree when we get back to the aggressive nature of well open wheel racing versus stock are easily got as a killer used to watch leroy kelly arbor a pity those guys were beasts but i don't think they had the end he's in back 3 then the surface is more danger now in a way but also they had the cars tear away but boy when you see guys her go into each other and they're fighting after you can understand 2 because you're right
11:43 pm
there at the brink of a tourney i think we'll talk to her about the aggressive nature of the sport danica patrick and she's got the pretty intense podcast also going to speak about that and patrick right after this on the miss miller plus one. the most pathetic and dangerous consequence of the russia gate hoax is how it is bled into policy at the center of this hoax was to discredit and then finally destroy donald trump now it informs us russian relations the result is dire this bilateral relationship may never recover. i'm going to trust my friends who can. walk. across the progress bringing preview of. pointing in their meetings that those.
11:44 pm
who are. not stupid and you. sound like you are most of them still can always. keep a few skew things up in the future beginning with at the map a us because. you naturally precise. that janish. can boy get him in the manual i still would be a thief. and ya blog it's all looks to mean all of which i don't know much your purpose that holds. new top of that if you still have to build you i gave the reviews. on studios in the store and got with them made me a copy of my. nice work and let them know that you can be a. welcome back then
11:45 pm
a similar plus one we're talking to. and their. victory in the indy car series the 1st woman ever to win a major league open wheel race and i asked if it was japan was the japan 300. it was in 2008 i want to. to think whatever. i never knew well when you went over to europe i'm sure you saw between soccer and have one in cricket the you know that's the world over there here it was always in the or stock cars i dug both and i'm trying to glean a somebody who's raced them both what what is the big difference or is there no tell me the answer. i mean it's from a driver's perspective the differences. you know the aerodynamics of the cars kind of are working a little bit more in reverse what's in front of you in an indy car mattered a lot and what's behind you in a stock car actually matters more so it's not completely like it doesn't it's not
11:46 pm
that it doesn't matter when someone's in front of you but let's say in superspeed ways when you're working with a lot of speed they're dynamics like you need someone to be behind you to push you in a stock car been an indy car you wanted to get a draft from someone in front of you so. so and some of the ways like the terminologies were also in reverse like you'd be referring to the front in an indy car versus the rear in a stock car so there was some little differences there. fundamentals of the same that the car but like everything's different you know in a way so it's. yeah there are quite different era dynamics are probably one of the biggest things i going to every time i go to think which one i prefer i dig them both and i just like the i don't i like people who go for a big bite out of life and you know i have it in me with stand up to some degree but stand up it's not that frightening if it goes horribly you go get better you walk off stage i always look at people who are right on the edge and i think boy
11:47 pm
talking about a life fully lived there i know you kind of the market because people don't want to hear that living on the edge is the thing you i but the juice is fun we all get around 80 years here if you can get through this and have some action like that what a great. what a great feeling that it was which i can too. and she is in the podcast where i'm all for somebody who's talking about being a little daunted by the minimal the espy's i can tell you after doing a podcast for a while folks if you don't talk it's not happening so you know you start and you've got to keep go and and it's a little daunting at 1st but i find it very liberating because i just thought i had the scientists talk for a while interview they got some fun how are you doing it so far on the pretty intense podcast yeah thank you and that's such rich real truth i threw i truly love it but as we're you know riffing about before we started i had to learn
11:48 pm
how to shut up like i'm used to being interviewed and i'm used to rambling on and telling stories and that's kind of the point and when you start doing a show it's very egotistical just like sit there and just ramble on about yourself so i had to really like learn how to not share my own stories and use my stories as more of a navigation to get into something that they might be able to share that's interesting and you know me telling my own stories is like becoming less and less because i'm finding you know it's all about it's all about the cast you know of course i can't help but sprinkle it in here and there but but i really love it and i just am such an avid learner the older i get the more i want to learn and so i realize that you know when i'm talking right now there's some level of therapy and talking through things yourself about yourself that you you. there is a processing element to being interviewed but it's very minimal and when you're interviewing people who are just just consuming so much information never mind the
11:49 pm
preparation so you know i find that like when i have a bunch of shows to do in a week they usually clumping together and i mean i'm just like deep diving and all these people listening to a podcast that they've done looking at articles that have been written about them just you know kind of getting a feel for them but i used to do like a lot of preparation before people and some people require a little bit more because it's perhaps like a scientist or a doctor and so you know it's a little bit more educational male role model and. yeah and so it's but it's fascinating so but i've learned that as i've gone along i've had i've getting a more and more and more efficient system to getting to know my guests so that i can get the questions ready and really kind of learning actually like identifying what it is about my show that's different and where i tend to go every time so it's a little sort of. self identification in a way or realization about the core of each interview that i don't think i quite
11:50 pm
knew in the beginning but it's becoming more and more. clear. but interesting to me what are your default what did you find your pattern was when you be interviewing people and you know. what. common would you say if you have noticed well i really like to get to the root and truth of who the person is so the likelihood of me addressing exactly what they do for the whole or half the show even is pretty low like a lot of times i even like to get on the topic of just other things that they enjoy doing and what's fun is that because i guess it comes from a little bit of this perspective about myself knowing that well you know racing is what i did one joy it's so much about it and aspects that i just loved it wasn't necessarily racing that i loved and since you've talked to so many different people including athletes of course you've probably done plenty of interviews where you
11:51 pm
talk to the person and you know like they didn't really love their sport and so i kind of fall into that category of like i didn't love racing itself like i don't go to the track i don't go race anything just because i love getting in the car i love aspects about racing and so who i am is kind of deeper and different than just racing it was just my medium for the aspects about it that i loved and so i like to get into that aspect about people's like or that or the parts about them that are not so obvious that are really truly who they are and what they love and sometimes it's exactly what they do a lot of times it's not and it's fun to watch people just light up when they start talking about other things that they love doing. and i'm always working in sort of like a truth aspect of you know the conditioning that they had as a child to the you know the lessons that they learned along the way that were
11:52 pm
really really or. that's just really good and then you know and then some spirituality. because i'm kind of a hippie democrat did you ever run of the small. clique it's redoubts in order. there is either spot there's never greying i never wins an ark of it that's ok i did go to spot you know so much about racing please you know way more than just about anybody else i talk to i just i thought squad nor bring horse the same playing so i don't know that much but i read about these places over there and i always think what it must be like to be one of those races tell me about running at the swap yeah so there's a couple really big corners there one is there's like super fast as is going up the hill and you know in the car that i was driving back then it was a formula ford so it had no weighings which meant no extra downforce the faster you went in and really go that much more downforce and so you know you're supposed to be flat going up the hill and i don't know if i ever got there or not but then it was such a long track and then i think the corner is over maybe or something like that or
11:53 pm
blash amman or something back over there they named all their corners with names like in america we call it turn one turn 5. morning but. it's funny we have like the weird measuring system here that could be so much more simple but over there they name everything they named the cars instead of giving them numbers we should all collaborate but anyway so there was a super fast right hand corner and and i remember recognizing just why that was such a tricky corner because i mean it was just so flat out and so fast and the car i was driving it was like you breezed it for a 2nd. but it was really cool and you know what you know what i remember also about it it was where i feel i must have seemed whining you mentioned quine and that's actually where i fell in love i remember i had my 1st bottle of shepley that night and i think i had like
11:54 pm
a wild boar and ship lee and that was really like the most memorable bottle of wine to me. we ever had because i just remember being so delicious and anyway it led to me i have to wind labels now but but and then i'll show remembered shepley stuck with you in addition to the certainly the light it is and i believe it's she is the sole proprietor of some the i'm as which is their own vineyard i can imagine how cool that must be that was so very like it was a lot of. fun and you like a nice dry white does it still your followed to this day you know what's funny i feel like is that when you drink wine it starts off a sweet way wine then you drink drive away wine which is where the shipley came in and then you go into red and then you just like dedicated to red and then all this and you come back around and start drinking everything so i'm back to everything and i suddenly a makes a cabernet rose day and 70 on blonde and then last year we just launched the danica
11:55 pm
rosé which is a french it's made in provence france and so it's made grown and made there so we're supposed to the launch party was supposed to be last year at the formula one race and so it's going to be this year at the f one race in monaco so let me get like hope that happens but i lead to so i hope you get an idolator in the writings listen when i tried to make the passage over to reds and i find the tannins used to make the back of my draw who if there was heavy tenants something would make my jaw heard so much that i went back to dry whites i was trying to act like i was a saw or something but i would find that are really what people would love to read why was something it didn't work for my out so i'm a drama white guy my myself and it is song the him next time i'm up in the valley i'm going to have to go over and see dad because white rich and how do you have space over in europe do you like run top or little plot on a bigger vineyard or do you have a vineyard there of your own we we do contracts with. and then your aunts and and
11:56 pm
contract contract the grapes yeah and then have a wine maker over there. well listen when you asked me earlier what i'll interview tip i would say this i'm always a narrative world class athletes you know people always see and they always 2nd guess the end result when i think of a 10 year old girl getting into a go car when i think of a 1617 year old girl going over to europe the road race with the jackie stewart of the world and they're like when i think about a young woman meeting ray hall coming back here getting in and indy taking it over 500 mile races and the car getting out and leading a fulfilled life after all that as a woman and 4 and it's so nice to meet your dad a comet i mean huge. thank you very nice to meet you and i'm this is a lot of fun and it's really fun to talk to somebody who knows so much about racing so i take that as a compliment and it was then it was really really nice to meet you this way. all
11:57 pm
