00:00:17: Okay So The Golden Mallet Is not real.
00:00:20: No it is Bleached.
00:00:22: I Mean It's Real but Its Like Amplified.
00:00:25: its real In the sense of.
00:00:28: you're totally right.
00:00:29: like bleached hair is still here.
00:00:31: It's still her.
00:00:32: it's just color,
00:00:33: it's Just colored different colored hair
00:00:36: and by your own choice
00:00:38: Correct.
00:00:39: so nothing to be ashamed of
00:00:41: absolutely not
00:00:42: would you?
00:00:43: if your hair ever goes gray?
00:00:46: Would you still put color in it
00:00:49: then?
00:00:51: Well If I would still have hair and he said it goes grey i would rock it like gray mullet.
00:00:58: Pretty cool, right?
00:00:59: It's like a silver then it would be not golden money.
00:01:03: Silver.
00:01:04: you changed the name of your company.
00:01:05: I mean what do you think about my mullet lately?
00:01:08: Like we are at parry clubhouse and We have our barber next door And i went to cut into some sort of a mullets.
00:01:17: Im close To doing super short australian mullett.
00:01:20: ish yeah At one point.
00:01:23: Yeah, pretty official meeting in new york Next week.
00:01:28: I'm pretty sure.
00:01:29: Toto doesn't feel as much, we feel the Australian mullet.
00:01:33: So i was a little bit careful with that.
00:01:35: let's say
00:01:36: maybe not yeah but um The week
00:01:38: after We go hard and asked at Texas U Do you need a haircut too?
00:01:43: And he said Yeah
00:01:45: It is next door where your offices are everything.
00:01:49: so they seem actually really professional like...the last year or two have only done Atta boy in Australia.
00:01:56: Like always on an australian trip
00:01:58: If Alibi would be here, you will have hair cut.
00:02:02: What is this place called?
00:02:03: Borton Hair.
00:02:05: Is that correct Johnny?
00:02:08: We don't know the end result yet but so far it feels promising.
00:02:13: She's gonna come in at one point because she does the coloring and check on the colouring to understand if its too long then there might be too bright.
00:02:24: Then we do a scarlet
00:02:27: cut the hair totally.
00:02:29: So quite,
00:02:30: quite a few things happened in the last two days?
00:02:32: Yeah it's insane.
00:02:33: I first want to ask about because you are man that doesn't hold back.
00:02:40: and there is one thing i saw And...I don´t think ever properly talked with you.
00:02:49: And as we are on the topic of hair, is it true that racing drivers because you're wearing so much.
00:02:56: The helmet
00:02:58: our
00:02:59: don't have a smudge here at one doesn't affect their grow?
00:03:04: Because like I started working with Nico and there were different angles let's say where he was more happy with the pictures i took off him.
00:03:14: your not liked that but That's one thing F-One drivers all have in common.
00:03:21: because they're wearing so much helmets The hair is not growing insanely good, right?
00:03:26: Is that true?
00:03:27: I don't know.
00:03:28: I think
00:03:29: I'm definitely like Losing bit of hair.
00:03:33: was your dad?
00:03:34: well my dad got bald when he was eighteen.
00:03:37: oh okay.
00:03:38: So
00:03:39: I'm succeeding
00:03:41: almost double now.
00:03:42: alright succeeding very well.
00:03:48: But yeah, I've definitely been losing some hair like slowly.
00:03:51: but um... i don't know if there anything to do with the helmet or it's just nature?
00:03:58: Would you go to Turkey too?
00:03:59: No no..
00:04:01: I didn't really see that point.
00:04:03: You would embrace then?
00:04:04: I would embrace and then skullet
00:04:07: Or half Like in Germany, that's our German word.
00:04:11: So
00:04:15: you
00:04:16: still have so you can wear a cap and then it looks like... It
00:04:19: is meant to be!
00:04:20: We have different options.
00:04:22: So congratulations on your podium last weekend.
00:04:26: Thank You very much!
00:04:28: It was in cycling
00:04:30: age
00:04:31: group thirty-to-thirty nine Sea Otter, not the long route.
00:04:36: The shorter route two circles around Laguna Seca Raceway which is kind of funny.
00:04:45: I think that your main profession as a Formula One driver gets a break last weekend would have been a race.
00:04:56: and you say i still want to race?
00:04:59: I still wanna go to Laguna seca.
00:05:01: corkscrew we all know about it An insane track.
00:05:05: Have you ever driven Corkscrew?
00:05:07: No, no that was my first time in Laguna Seca
00:05:10: So the first
00:05:11: I've only did it with Gran Turismo when i was a kid.
00:05:15: so How is it in real life?
00:05:17: It's
00:05:17: way steeper than I thought like we actually The end of that loop.
00:05:22: We rode up the wrong way off the track but up CorkScrew and its really steep Like yeah But it was funny.
00:05:31: man.
00:05:34: I think it must be one of the biggest cycling events in the US because they had like mountain biking.
00:05:38: They have downhill, they have road racing gravel racing and all the brands that want to be there.
00:05:43: so It was pretty cool event.
00:05:46: That's huge!
00:05:47: The Coachella
00:05:49: of Cycling.
00:05:50: But iIwas really happy with my race Like a good two-week training block And then decided on the race.
00:05:59: First thing is...
00:06:06: We had a plan.
00:06:07: Paul got me a front row start, which helps a little bit.
00:06:11: yeah I wanted to at one point.
00:06:13: like i'm partly um I need to watch out that you are safe and for me cycling races with amateurs is sometimes a scary place just out of my personal experience very sketchy situations because my cycling races happen in the back and The further you go on, they're more sketchy.
00:06:40: That's right.
00:06:42: So we both agreed it would be very good if you start in row number one of.
00:06:50: I don't think there was a hundred fifty people or two hundred people that started in your age group.
00:07:00: And then I try to do it through asking the announcer.
00:07:06: If he wants to interview by three butters because they thought then you can interview, and then we place your afterwards in a first row and you can speed off.
00:07:15: so you're not like here on the first person who goes down the first downhill which is a legit scary don't have.
00:07:23: the first one didn't tell you what am i?
00:07:29: The announcer was not totally sure who I was proposing to him.
00:07:34: He's like, what are you?
00:07:35: And as a never mind.
00:07:38: and he said yeah we don't do interviews but thank you they kind of brushed it off Yeah!
00:07:43: Then i was like should i tell you this Are You Gonna Laugh at It which you normally Do?
00:07:47: But its also your race preparation.
00:07:49: so i dont wanna interfere with the race spirit Of yours.
00:07:54: So uh...you're already in your sisu.
00:07:57: whats next mindset?
00:07:58: Ready To Raisin?
00:08:00: you took it seriously.
00:08:01: You took nutrition seriously, you slept very well... ...you wanted a podium.
00:08:07: that was your goal?
00:08:08: Yeah
00:08:08: It was.
00:08:09: So we still placed you there in bit of weird way But
00:08:12: you told them like.. We just need to take one picture or something.
00:08:15: I faked
00:08:15: the picture
00:08:15: so i went from front instead off on back.
00:08:19: Actually
00:08:20: Was is okay?
00:08:21: Perfect!
00:08:22: And I think people understood who recognized me.
00:08:26: Like yeah, it makes sense and safety wise It does make sense, but still I had to get up that first hill.
00:08:34: To be in the front like and i pushed beyond my ability In The First Kilometer
00:08:40: okay?
00:08:40: To Make sure That i'm in top three going for the first downhill.
00:08:43: And it that worked out.
00:08:45: first roll Was a first corner.
00:08:50: was you were on number one first summit.
00:08:54: what was your position there?
00:08:55: i was second go into the first downhill, which is really fast descent.
00:09:00: Which was perfect position.
00:09:01: that's exactly what we wanted because
00:09:03: you still have good visibility.
00:09:04: You have a wheel in front of you mid which means less drag.
00:09:07: So yeah it does.
00:09:10: It was perfect.
00:09:10: and then it was tough course No big drama And fought my way to the finish on Third position very close to second.
00:09:21: Yeah like the last there was a u-turn before the finish line.
00:09:25: Did you think about diving in on the inside?
00:09:27: What year?
00:09:28: I was a bit too far away, but um But he was stronger than me like he had a bigger gap before okay.
00:09:33: I catched him right at The end and then it's just feel like here to be more in reserve.
00:09:38: Got so yeah, but yeah Was good.
00:09:42: we went To a place that i have A big question mark.
00:09:49: It's called puzzle.
00:09:49: robles is a great Place i think
00:09:53: I like it.
00:09:53: Good place for wine?
00:09:54: Yes,
00:09:55: lots of heaps of wineries.
00:10:00: and we went there because we are driving an electric vehicle as every other road-tripping customer.
00:10:08: you're looking at charging points.
00:10:10: so we met a friend from Tiffany's.
00:10:16: We parked the car step outside.
00:10:20: ten seconds later Two people scream your name, say butters big fans.
00:10:28: We're like okay there's
00:10:30: we tap and some
00:10:31: found the two or four motorsport fans
00:10:34: of a
00:10:36: city in California next corner.
00:10:39: six People I can't believe they were screaming shaking with their phones calling Their parents on FaceTime.
00:10:51: It was like they saw Jesus.
00:10:55: With every, the first nineteen minutes of Paso Robles and we walked through streets We went into a restaurant.
00:11:03: Every single person we met A total probably sixty-five people recognized.
00:11:09: you Lost their shit.
00:11:11: Couldn't believe that luck That your there You are... ...a superstar.
00:11:17: in Paso Robles It
00:11:18: turns out.
00:11:19: so
00:11:20: Why?
00:11:20: That that this I still don't understand.
00:11:23: Like we're now in Newport Beach here is pretty chill like rarely gets recognized or?
00:11:30: But In Paso Robles it was everyone
00:11:33: Every single person.
00:11:34: I want to know why is this?
00:11:35: maybe they?
00:11:36: Don't know if there's something you do with the wine because many people no, i'm into wine
00:11:41: It could be a combination of both.
00:11:44: everybody also had A glass of wine like the way he reacted.
00:11:49: yeah, but they were happy let's say.
00:11:52: And maybe that doubles up to the whole experience of recognizing people, which we're going to come too later.
00:11:58: but I think...I am sometimes around famous people and the more drunk the people are the worse it is.
00:12:07: yeah you have less hurdles within yourself to go.
00:12:10: do somebody correct?
00:12:11: so um maybe that's also part of the reason because it was like four p.m.. But they all had A serious amount of different.
00:12:20: and there's my friend duck coming in hello, doc We're recording.
00:12:24: Hello correct Yeah, good yes come by That's My Friend Duck.

00:17:41: You Can Talk to Aliens And Stuff Like It's For Me Through the eyes, The second most important thing is music in my ears.
00:17:51: It's a very, Very, very important thing and I started taking pictures In Music you know this with a rapper And everybody.
00:17:58: so i learned A lot of musicians.
00:18:00: because they're artists They tell their story through music.
00:18:04: I Tell mine through content or whatever Or other people stories to Whatever I do.
00:18:10: So it played a huge role learning how To proper storytell.

00:20:32: Daniel Ricciardo head And he asked us how did you get those tickets?
00:20:37: So just to be clear We have great tickets
00:20:41: yeah but about well almost Before we even got there, I was like... I just want to be in the sauna at our Airbnb in Joshua Tree.
00:20:53: And then that feeling started to amplify while we were there To me- The music that i don't follow?
00:21:01: It's just noise and amount of people.
00:21:07: But let's separate
00:21:08: it first.
00:21:09: Music you have not heard before.
00:21:14: You really liked the offspring for example
00:21:17: Example.
00:21:17: So their main song is like... Right?
00:21:23: Yeah, so if you hear that song and say oh this nice music anything else That you have not listened to before in your life noise
00:21:33: correct And it was very noisy around there sure
00:21:39: It's a music festival.
00:21:40: So at first
00:21:42: I didn't tell me That day at all.
00:21:46: I would have much preferred to stay At the Airbnb even just by myself.
00:22:00: What was the first song you recognized?
00:22:04: There's one song from Strokes, okay.
00:22:07: I don't know name of a song but that when I recognize stuff hurt before.
00:22:11: It is pretty cool to see Justin Bieber though like we don't get those opportunities and he looked Well, he was actually here a great day on that Saturday.
00:22:22: But it was late and then I knew by the time we get back is going to be like two o'clock.
00:22:27: so yeah anyway...
00:22:31: I think i met the
00:22:32: first
00:22:33: end of Sisu because you are.
00:22:36: or what's next?
00:22:37: You're this single person.
00:22:43: if your in situation where.
00:22:45: have just go through with Like.
00:22:47: you can't change it.
00:22:49: So let's go through with that, yeah?
00:22:52: You are the person I want to be next too because like if i'm ever running into trouble your not like.
00:22:57: oh you're not complaining.
00:22:58: or hey well how could we somewhere else?
00:23:02: whatever Your saying okay this is what now have.
00:23:05: do We gonna go though and finish there?
00:23:11: no other option.
00:23:12: indoor triathlon.
00:23:15: The Justin Bieber set at Couracella brought you to the end of that.
00:23:21: Like, I saw your face and when i asked you like eight songs in And said what's your brain doing right now?
00:23:28: You told me...I'm trying To visualize being alone In this sauna While you were in the middle of the table section, looking at Justin Bieber performing his arguably most important concert... ...of twenty-twenty six in the world.
00:23:51: I have all respect for him.
00:23:52: Yeah
00:23:52: totally!
00:23:53: But it's
00:23:53: insanely crazy.
00:23:57: good but i like that.
00:23:59: this is all noise and i remember once because i tried to find out What music, what role music plays in your life?
00:24:08: I was always pretty impressed by how low like whenever we go in a car you never connect to phone.
00:24:15: To play music when ever We work out and immediately start Music And You just sometimes put some background on But it doesn't
00:24:25: really know.
00:24:26: It's not Really A big part of my Life.
00:24:28: like Sometimes nice to listen the music but yeah Example Workouts i Never Listened The Music.
00:24:33: I like the silence and because I feel, my world is a lot of noise.
00:24:38: A lot of people anyway.
00:24:39: so then probably also from where i grew up like lakeside Finland very peaceful and quiet...I kind of need that sometimes.
00:24:47: So yeah if you describe my day off ideal day-off it's the opposite from Coachella experience.
00:24:58: But yeah, it's just I've been there.
00:25:00: I can say that which is pretty cool.
00:25:01: Yeah
