Welcome to the Midfield! We don't talk about the top, we don't talk about the bottom, everything else is the Midfield. Join Dan, Patrick and Andy as they dive into the world of F1 motorsports each week.
Dan and Cam (who actually watch bike racing) break down the upcoming Giro d'Italia including the top sprinters, best punchers, and who can contend for the GC title. Patrick (who doesn't watch bike racing) is here to ask questions and provide some comic relief. Check out the links below. This episode is much better with visuals in hand.

Holy Cannoli MFer's!We're back at it with even MORE guests! Thank goodness Dan has been able to fill the gaps during this long break, by bringing in some of our good friends from our F1 Threads crew. This week it's the "Fastest Yap" duo, here to talk race cars, play some QT, and of course be subjected to our awful jokes. Let's dive in with Paige and SK!18:00 - Right off the bat, Dano's gotta be pickin' bones. If anybody's taking the "pointless" tag, it's the Midfield Pod, and we're ready to fight about it. As always, we get the origin stories, and learn about a crazy new gambling mechanism. Dan had a drool bucket off mic, so we didn't have to replace his carpet. We get the lowdown on "Yapper Standings", and discuss the Youth Movement in F1. Patty adds another bean to the pile he owes.23:40 - Quuuueeeeesssstionable Trivia baby!! Lando themed this time around. The Yappers fare better than most, probably by ignoring Patrick as much as possible. As usual he bandwagons his way to a couple tallies. Patty drops his hot take on Albon yet again, and people are starting to come around.Again a massive thank you to "The Fastest Yap" for swinging by and spending some time getting to know us and playing our silly games. Be sure to like and follow them on threads and join in on the fun! And of course, keep those fingers crossed, and elbows out!Follow The Midfield here! : https://www.patreon.com/MidfieldPodhttps://www.threads.net/@midfieldpodhttps://www.facebook.com/themidfieldpodhttps://www.instagram.com/midfieldpodhttps://youtube.com/@midfieldpodcast?si=iaNPgyp0imYxvx8K Send us an Email! midfieldpod@gmail.com

Welcome back MFers!It's a 5 week break, so it's time for the Midfield Pod to step and cure your boredom! Don't worry, we brought some help. Natalie from "Girls Just Wanna F1" stopped by to do some heavy lifting for us. We rope her into a little Questionable Trivia, can she help Patrick, who knows nothing, about anything, ever? God let's hope so.23:30 - We get to know our guest Natalie! Origin stories are our favorite here in the Midfield. With undenying-ly the BEST name in sports casting, we were hoping she'd share a little bit of her magic skills on our niche ideas. We talk new teams and regs, top teams, all the good stuff. Natalie is better at our stupid game than we are! We'll get our team to send her some beans for next time, just in case.55:15 - Dan wrangles it back in for everyone's favorite, it's time for Questionable Trivia! Could be called, "do you know more F1 facts than a dog?". Patty's been getting closer lately, but this aint horseshoes. We're goin' Albon this round. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube! We don't count entrapment.Thanks again for tuning in, and huge thanks to Natalie for stopping by and hanging out with us Midfielders, we massively appreciate it!

Welcome back, MFers. Boy have we got a full episode for you this time. We covered all eleven teams for the first time in Midfield Pod history. We trimmed the fat and added plenty of teams and drivers to our "No Talkies" list. 1:00 - Do we hate the new regulation set? 15:30 - Mercedes' Dominance in Melbourne 24:25 - Ferrari gonna Ferrari 35:10 - Is McLaren cooked? Andy and Patrick make an intriguing bet. 45:00 - First *DING* of the 2026 Season 50:45 - Is Red Bull suddenly likable with Christian Horner and Helmut Marko out of the picture? Will the RB2 be drivable this season? 60:30 - Haas are Kings of the Midfield after just one race. We really like one of their drivers. 1:09:05 - Racing Bulls showed out well in Quali, but fell back a bit during the race. We gotta do something about Arvid Lindblad's name. There's just too many D's to say it correctly. Someone please help us with a nickname here. 1:13:45 - Audi has piqued our interest with two very likable drivers, the "best looking car on the grid" and a Team Principal that is a lover, not a hater. 1:18:15 - Alpine...that's it, that's the tweet. Hard to say nice things with Flavio in charge. 1:24:20 - Williams is fat. Who are we to judge for being a bit overweight? 1:30:35 - The AMERICAN team, Cadillac, finished their inaugural Grand Prix over the weekend. Turns out F1 is pretty difficult and they have a lot of work to do. 1:34:00 - ASSton MartinFollow The Midfield here! : https://www.patreon.com/MidfieldPodhttps://www.threads.net/@midfieldpodhttps://www.facebook.com/themidfieldpodhttps://www.instagram.com/midfieldpodhttps://youtube.com/@midfieldpodcast?si=iaNPgyp0imYxvx8K Send us an Email! midfieldpod@gmail.com

G'day Midfielders!Welcome to yet another off season episode. In these doldrums of Formula 1 racing, we like to bring in the big guns to help us cut through our hot, speculative takes. Old school MF'ers will remember our guest from many moons ago, that's right, we're goin' international! Rod from SUPERLICENSE is back with us, all the way from down undah! Once again, it's a right ol' hoot.13:10 - You're biased! And we can't get over Rod being from another country, we might stop fanboying by the end of the episode, odds not great, but hey, you talk to someone on a whole 'nother continent and you'll feel good about yourself too! Is this the year of the George?! Toto's "flopping it out" so let's hope so! Preseason P10 picks!24:30 - Overachieve, underachieve, green jacket-gold jacket, we are the king speculaTORS! Liam Lawsoms. Cadi, Audi, nobody is safe from what we think will happen next year. We talk about the Terminator and Patrick doesn't do his Arnold impression, what is this world coming to? Karl Malone?36:05 - This episode's as good as a Redbull strategy. We're havin' fun here. Bikes? Not yet Dano. "When ya see the baby". Tennis though! Still over Patrick's head but we'll dip a toe. Don't shake hands with kids. Is it off the rails if there were never any rails to begin with? 0 Toaderance Policy.43:50 - More questionable trivia! Will Rod be able to save Patrick from his inevitable demise? Key word, inevitable. It's a name game this time around, easy-peasy right?Thanks again for tuning in to this week's episode! Be sure to check out all of Rod's latest stuff from SUPERLICENSE F1 Podcast on YouTube and Spotify!

Hey there MF'ers!It's everyone's favorite time of year, new livery season! The smell of fresh paint and burning rubber as a few teams are already hitting the track. We dive in to a few of our favorite, and not so favorite liveries, and play some Questionable Trivia! All with our good friend and co-host Andy! Let's dive in!9:05 - Special shoes! Starting off sharp with the Haas. Keeping it clean, simple and refined, similar to last year but still a good classic look. We're hoping Haas pulls off a few fun special liveries throughout the season. Rebull looking even more similar to last year's car than the Haas team? If it ain't broke...15:00 - Audi comin' in HAWT with they're color scheming. Possibly ripping off the McLaren chrome look from last year at Silverstone. It does in fact go to the moon, and the orange inside the intake is a dastardly look. 22:35 - The Mercs, Andy hates 'em. Patrick didn't really look at it and overall we're not too impressed. Quite possibly ruined their car and their season with this total hackjob of a livery. The And-1's of 2026 F1.29:20 - Let's enjoy talking about Alpine while we still can! Leaning in on the pink is favorable to all of us here at the Midfield Pod. Dan finds a weird shovel and digs a weird hole for a bit. Let's hope they can drive as well as they can paint this year.33:50 - Boo! Ferrari Boo! We like red cars. Sold their soul for an ugly car. No such thing as bad press, but there is such a thing as a bad livery.40:50 - Been a long time since I rock 'n rolled. Andy and Patrick agree that there needs to be some gold on this car in some form or another. Looks fake without any sponsorships adorned, but we like the initial look for our American team. Little Williams chat to round things out.51:30 - This game is the worst thing Patrick participates in every year. What is, Questionable Trivia! Even with Andy's help, he still can't figure out how to crack Dan's questionable questions. Dan slides in some bike racing just for kicks.Thanks again for tuning in to this week's episode of the Midfield Podcast. Be sure to follow us on Threads as the season kicks off.

Welcome to a new year with The Midfield Podcast! We talk the darts, we talk the F1, and we even talk the unmentionables. We've got our New Year's resolutions locked in and ready to share. We won't talk about how many we've already broken, but the gloves are off for an official sidebar, so buckle in!15:30 - Enough being dorks about the World Dart Championships, time for being dorks about next year's flock of F1 teams. We enact a total sidebar, put the beans down and begin our resolutions for each of the F1 teams on the grid next season.22:10 - McLaren doesn't have much to improve on, but we've still got notes. On to Mercedes. We relish the opportunity to say George, a bit too much probably. Don't over-think it.26:00 - The Energy Drink Team! Turns out we're a little predictable/repetitive when it comes to our resolutions, but the sentiment remains! Not sure if any of these teams held up to last year's rezzie's, so don't feel bad if you've goofed already too.35:10 - Ferrari. Lather, rinse and repeat. Williams! One of our favorite's. The tree's good, let's see some fruits. Do these guys have what it takes to lock in and be consistent for the season we've been promised? Will the prophecy be as foretold?! we can't wait. VCARB. Arvid? Arnold. Ahhnald!46:50 - Aston Martin. These guys need a vibe check. They've got the money, they've got the Newey, it's time to cut loose and have a little fun. No need to be such pouty-pants'. On to Haas. We never hope for an injury, but we have to admit we actually miss Ocon's dickish antics. 62:45 - Pierre needs help, and that's about all there is to say about the frenchies. The newbies! Cadillac and Audi are the hot new tickets, and Patty wants liveries to prove it. Or Checo with a long beard, one or the other. Let the good times roll! We review the bean list, and make some resolutions of our own.Thanks again for tuning in to yet another year of Midfield action.

Welcome back MFers!We got a big one lined up this week! Vegas recap, Abu preview, bad internets, carlos podiums, and of course a bean during the rules ON sidebar discussion? Oofdah, buckle up buttercup. This is a fun one.14:40 - You carrot danglers-you. Patty's jumping around all over the place, but we're talking P10 challenge baby. You may not care, but that's cause you're not playing. We get in our picks each and every weekend, with hopefully a bit of discussion prior. It's a ton of fun, you should too.30:10 - We like Ike! Problem is we like Yuki too. Will Isaak suffer the same silliness of the second seat at Red Bull? Dan loves my alliterations. Unlikely, but we're hoping. Patty likes good production value, and we've been getting some from the F1TV broadcasts.40:10 - Quick Helmut rant and it's time for this weekend's preview. Underground pit lane gets us every time. Dan wants a sidebar to talk championship runs. Patty wants to keep the language, it's gonna get weird. Lots of nicknames in this segment of "who wins the title". The NECK!56:13 - Bean... duh.Thanks again for joining us on our wild journey through the world of F1! Be sure to check in regularly for all your Midfield Podcast action.

Welcome back to the Midfield Pod! Where we occasionally talk about midfield Formula 1 racing action, but mostly just have fun. We like to have fun here. Join us for this week's episode where we recap some of our favorite names-for-drivers, new and old! Plus fun!16:40 - A quick recap of the Mexico City GP, and we're already slippin' into bean turritory by 14:20. Barely into the nicknames segment and we dip into the box. We go through the whole paddock and remind you just who and what the hell we're talking about.26:25 - Football announcers? Come on Dano, wrangle us back on track here. Patty The Strategist is not a hot start, but we're gonna roll with it, and he'll share is ever-wise... wisdom. We even the bean score at 41:10, while trying to figure out what happened to Lewis during the race.44:05 - Road rules! Darth Rules, same thing. Hamilton tried to Darth, and he found out. 10 second penalty found out, down to 8th. Hyooge bummer for Lewis fans who were excited about a hot quali. New F1 benchmark? We punch bags.

Whats up, MFers, It's time for another episode of the Mid Boys. Patrick and Dan broke down their favorite events from COTA, looked ahead to Mexico City and even talked about the $%^@*& drivers in a special post-script side bar. 16:00 - Dan's got some questions, and Patrick's got answers. Honda, Honda is the answer. We say our niceties about our lone North American driver, but we don't talk about Saturday. Livery chat! Good job VCARB.34:45 - Lookin' ahead to Mexico. Head's up, this track's at a high elevation, and Dano's got beef with the stadium section. We admittedly slept on Mexico GP last year, and we're really hoping we get some similar excitement as we lock in our first BOLDIE's in a grip.41:30 - Sidebar ACTIVATE! That's right, it's time to talk the no-talkies. It's a papaya-ridden Darth fest from here on out, but it's totally different from all 101 other episodes, promise.That's all folks, thanks for tuning in, be sure to check out all our fun links below, and keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!Follow The Midfield here! : https://www.patreon.com/MidfieldPodhttps://www.threads.net/@midfieldpodhttps://www.facebook.com/themidfieldpodhttps://www.instagram.com/midfieldpodhttps://youtube.com/@midfieldpodcast?si=iaNPgyp0imYxvx8K Send us an Email! midfieldpod@gmail.com

Welcome BACK Midfielders! We've been a couple of busy bees these past few weeks, but it's great to get back into the podcasting chairs, talk race cars with your buddy, and have a few laughs. We've got it dialed right where we need it, can any midfield teams say the same? Dan looks to solve this and many other mysteries this episode. Will Patrick be helpful at all in answering these questions? Lord help us all.23:19 - What are the time limits on Merc contracts? How much Ferrari can you possibly handle? How much can they handle? We've got it all covered and now it's time for the RB 2 seat and what happens to Yuki? What's on deck for Williams? We know how to win a podium in F1 in just 2 steps. Simple right?35:08 - Bean!40:16 - How do we see the bottom half of our Midfield finishing out the season? How many HR complaints have been filed at Aston Martin this year. How much doe we love Ollie amiright?! We're havin' fun here.53:30 - Rookies rookies rookies! Who's the best? Who's going to be the best down the home stretch?

Let me hear you say "hey-ho," Midfielders!With the recent speculation of Isack Hadjar signing with Red Bull for 2026, we make the bold decision to take over the Team Principal role for all of the current Midfield squads. We sign one driver to a 2-year deal, and let the other driver go. Who will we choose on each team? Youth? Experience? Neither? Both? The rules don't apply when Patrick makes his own rules.

Welcome back Midfielders!It's the summer break, so it's time for us to kick back and let our friends do all the work! We brought in our best bud Mark Schofield for another go around. He's got great news and even greater picks, so let's slither like snakes on into this one!14:20 - We get to know our good buddy Mark and he tells us the Chihuahua Story. Then it's finally time for some race cars. We go over who's been most impressive during the first half of the season, and give Mark the keys to the kingdom.45:50 - On to the fooseball! We burn our picks of the AFC and then the NFC. A few surprises and a few obvious choices. As always with Mark, we make our Superbowl predictions and laugh at the AFC South. Sorry gang.It's always hard to say goodbye to our friend, but you don't have to!

Welcome back Midfielders!We had a little hiatus in the studio so we've got a jam packed episode of a DOUBLE recap to get into, but first, Dan's got some housekeeping to do for a change! We move some midfield constructors around and get into all the juicy details of two of our favorite tracks of the year. Let's burn some rubbah!11:55 - All straightened up and ready to rock, we head back in time! Patrick doesn't know flags, and Dan botches a Dumb and Dumber quote- a rarity folks, believe me. We get real juicy. Too many kids at the races! Curious does big arms, and Dan gives us a lesson as to where they came from. Ollie bloops.29:06 - Spa's outta the way and it's onto the Hungaroring! You cheeky ****'s Aston Martin! No upgrades... pshhh... get outta here. It's been a grip, so we find some nice things to say about our green boi. Tomfoolery and Space Invaders, super-cool double-helicopter shots! Tip of the cap to you F1 production teams. Bad Ollie, bad.45:00 - A couple fun Darth moments, cause why not? Sister teams and other gripes. 2 teams 3 cars you know the deal. Chucks got a case of the THINGS and maybe this leads to other things? Maybe some cheatin' afoot?! We can only pray that Ferrari's "chassis" is okay.55:55 - Sauber gets passed in the standings but still looks strong. Dan poses a great hypothetical that would have required a wellness check last February. Only God himself can drive the Redbull, just ask Yuki. Can Williams' early season points hold them till the end? Or will we maybe see a second-half resurgence on the grid for our boys in blue? Albon's done for the year.As always thanks for tuning in, and be sure to follow us on socials, check out our FREE Patreon bonus content and join in the discussions on race day over on Threads.

Welcome BACK Midfielders!We've got another humdinger of an episode! We're halfway through the season and it's time to set our expectations and speculations for the remainder of '25. We break it down team by team and then look ahead again to Spa, again. My elder-cat has taken up residence on my lower back as I type this, so let's dive in!9:35 - Is Ferrari stepping out like Lewis' slippery back end? Without much discernable motivation, we think these guys will be pumping the brakes real hard. We dip into Mercedes and have some trouble navigating those waters without saying the NAME yet again. Dan get's down with a TRIPLE DING!10:45 - Check the tape baby! Patrick shares his vast knowledge of German culture, and with that his thoughts for Mercedes' plan for the rest of the season. Is the great Ding-a-nator in the perfect pickle? We snack some beans and load up the scoreboard yet again. Beef Ramen.20:40 - What is happening at Red Bull? We have no clue, and we're concerned; neither do they. The biggest question mark, the thickest of fogs, we sense a gutting of the Jr's in the future. Otmar with a pimp cup. We can predict the future while stroking our egos. Bits and bobs.27:25 - Yet. Another. Bean. Sweet packages bro.45:20 - House money for Sauber. Put it all on black and green and let it ride baby! Keep that gravy train a-rollin'! The Jr's are also a huge question mark, as they'll certainly be gutted. At least the barometer will still be around. 49:10 - Aston gets the airtime they deserve and it's on to Haas. Can the bad bois just try-hard their way past the Aston's in the latter stages. Likely! Probably without even trying that hard. Just keep it out of the penalty box Ollie.Thanks again for listening and as always be sure to check out our Patreon for our P10 picks and free bonus content.

Patrick, Cameron and Dan start with some cycling 101 questions and then dive in to the first week of racing from the Tour de France. What impressed us the most from week 1? Who was disappointing in the opening week? What is a Peloton? What should I be looking out for in week 2? All those questions and plenty more on the latest episode of the Midfield.

Welcome back Midfielders! Another off week for racers, but we're keeping the grind alive! We do a lil' housekeeping from last week's episode, and then give our first half of the season "headlines". The beans of misfortune rear their ugly heads again, so let's get buckled in and listen to Patrick battle a fan!16:00 - Just a few stories in and already having a blast! We touch on the Frenchies, Hulkster and the Green Machines, and the Great Driver Shuffle of 2025. Man do we love the Scottish! Jr's and Sr's, and the Darth-Mercedes conspiracy, all the good stuffs. Toto get's a bean!27:20 - Red cars' mystical-magical consistency machine! 5 and 6 = 2, 'cause maths. The Pittsburg Steelers of F1. We find the Mercedes issue to be the rookie, as G***** makes Patty have another bean. 7-14 Dan over Patrick in the battle of the beans. To fold or not to fold? That is the question.44:55 - All the gross-bean action you've been waiting for!

Prost Midfielders! You already know it's gonna be a Hulk heavy episode! Us, them, they, everyone and their dog is all Kick Sauber right now. As the man who carried us to our P10 challenge victory in '24, we have long-tenured adoration for our midfield maniac. One of the original Bad Bois of Haas, our Midfield caps are off to you Nico, way to honk.22:00 - P2! - ish? We're working our way through, this is why we don't usually give Patrick the reigns. James Vowells and finger guns baby! Stay on track, stay focused. Get over your bleeding eyes, and go put 'em on Ollie hitting the wall in his pit lane approach. Truly a thing of beauty, as we crown our next Bad Boi.33:05 - Quali time! Have we mentioned we love Silverstone yet? Just in case, we'll do it a few more times. Put more fuel in me boy! Dan ends up being the winner of the Williams V. Aston battle we sort of paid attention to over the weekend. Becketts and maggots and plurals and dorks.42:35 - We hate the youth! Anti-mega! We're finally to race day! Guess what? Checo's not here! There's also a missed ding in here, but it can be our lil' secret. We break down this week's P10 pick mayhem. KMAG sighting! We derail yet again, big surprise.55:35 - Bean73:15 - Benotto hair cut? Lance is a potty mouth and a poor sport, so we decided to skip saying nice things about him this week. We get REALLY excited for a race coming up in a few weeks. It's our favorite so we jumped the gun a lil bit. Don't forget your rubber chunks!Thanks again for tuning in, be sure to check out our Patreon for bonus clips and beans and p10 challenge discussions and other fun stuff!

Cameron and Dan look at each of the 23 team rosters ahead of the 2025 Tour de France. Who will win? Who's the best sprinter? Who can take home the polka dot jersey?

Heyo Midfielders!Put another shrimp on the barbie, we're in Austria this week! Who-dang! Whatta race, Dan loves it, Patrick is on the cusp. Orange cars for a lot of the camera action this weekend, can we find a way to dig up the midfield, in a race that was mostly Papaya dominated? You bet we can.17:05 - We love a Redbull double-suck finish. Darth out early and relying on Yuki? Yes please, we'll be saying his name before the end of the year, mark my text. Either way, he's got a perfect ass, and can't be bothered to try to restart after running getting run into... I digress. We drop a sidebar, to decide who's in and who's out of the bottom half of the midfield.29:00 - All of Sauber and Liam BACK into the The Midfield talkie contention! Lift and coast please Chuck! Not listening=not arguing, Ferrari has the same mentality as our podcast! Netflix shot! That's what you get for coming in like a wrecking ball.41:00 - Ricky Bortoleto, not sure what to do with his hands. Dano recaps his P10 selection without the heart and soul of the team this weekend, as Patty was in the Northwoods. All maths and no feelings got us hammered this weekend, and we may not even still be in the running this year, but Patrick doesn't know, cause he can't find the P10 Challenge standings or our own Patreon. We're a frenchie-sized mess most weeks.46:55 - Haas an option? Dan is delirious? Irregardless he's got an idea for Silverstone. We're picking teams this weekend. Its a Midfield Podcast; Aston V. Williams Weekend! Hold on to your hiccups, it's gonna be a good'n! Dan likes bikes like a dork. Bike-Dork. Give yourself a Harry Benjamin.Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode of The Midfield Podcast!

Welcome to another episode of The Midfield Podcast! Dan's got the juices flowin' again as we're out of the stretch of the season we here at The Midfield Podcast find to be a bit on the tedious side, so look out! The man only wants some rigidity! It's a 10-6 bean blowout in favor of Dan, will Patrick continue his cold streak? Or will we finally figure out who we can talk about, and go beanless? Oooh the excitement!5:45 - Bean!23:50 - We wrap up the Cadillac draft, and look ahead to Patrick's BIG question. Tattoos! So much Caddy speculation it'll make yer head spin, but in a good way. Are the old dogs as washed as our midwestern keisters? Dan's sarcasm is really, REALLY thick in this one, and Patrick makes the dumbest joke ever.32:30 - Juuuust kidding, now we ACTUALLY finalize the fantasy draft, for realsies this time I swear. It's a really intense and dramatic finish though, so all the hooplah is definitely worth it. Dan's got beef with track limits.

Hey hey Midfielders!Welcome to another groundbreaking episode of The Midfield Podcast! We talk midfield and nothing else! Well okay, sometimes we goof that up, but we pay for it dearly when it happens. We're tearing into the Canadian Grand Prix in all of its glory. Join us, drink the punch!21:30 - Just like Williams, we're hot out of the gate, and hanging on for dear life by the end. Cat wrastlin'! We get through practice, quali, AND the race! Imagine that! We have differing opinions about the overall outcome and satisfactory product of the overall race. We dip into this weekend like a Canadian's arms in pudding.42:40 - Trees are cool, Darth- less so. We talk MOVIES! Cause nobody's talking about the F1 Movie coming out, but we can't help ourselves. Dan's already got his candy stowed under his shirt to sneak into the theater. Science remains undefeated.Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode! We love to chat it up during the races over on Threads.

AAAAAaaaand we're back Midfielders!Better late than never, but we're back to bring you the most mediocre takes on the midfield of Formula 1 action! We start this gab sesh with saying some sort of nice things about our eager Canadian driver. Just do stuff. We rank the teams remaining in OUR midfield, on our terms. And what better way to keep it mid-grade, than by slammin' it back to 2011?! 11:15 - #SH*Tthecouch! We've got our teams ranked, by a popular television show and song comparison! We agree, we disagree, it works, it falls apart in shambles, it's everything and nothing all wrapped up together in a weird box that smells questionable at best.14:30 - That damned Bond villain gets to Patrick again. It's bean time for our buddy, and it's a bad one too. It's gross, but it keeps us honest and on our toes. If we're lucky, our goofy takes will stick in your heads, like a bad bean between our teeth.46:50 - Boy that was fun wasn't it?! Time to look ahead to Canada, where we WILL see Lance on the track in some capacity. We're hoping for some weather this weekend as we send them boys around the track a few more times.Thanks as always for tuning in and making us your favorite Midfield Podcast.

Hey there Midfielders!Welcome back to another episode of your favorite mid-tier podcast! We didn't #sleeponspain and ready for a gnarly breakdown of last weekend's action, BUT FIRST! We gotta mix it up. We got doods too good to be out, and too bad to be in. Time to mix up the Midfield roster, surely this won't come back to bite us later...15:30 - Sidebar's closed! We start the weekend breakdown and communicate about communication. It's interesting I promise, cause there's DING'S baby DINGS! That's right, another double-ding early to start the madness. We say some nice things, and eat some not nice things.43:45 - We've tiptoed through the tulips a good lil' minute here, but never fear- there's more beans to be eatin'! A bummer of a weekend for Williams and we debut a new roller coaster. Good lord we're not even through quali yet. We made it through! And hopefully you did too! Thanks for sticking with us like the gummy remnants of bad ideas, in our teeth, Midfielders it means the world to us.
