Can We Please Have The Ricciardo & Rogan Podcast?

Being an American F1 fan, Daniel Ricciardo has always been one of the closest drivers to American culture. Daniel is a self-proclaimed Texan who spends much time “in the States” when he is not racing in F1.

Drive to Survive gave everyone an insight into the life of F1 drivers behind the scenes. Of the entire series, Ricciardo has always been a fan favorite, from his goofy, high-spirited attitude to his vocabulary, “tripping balls mate,” and his world-famous “shoey” celebrations; people want to know more about Daniel and his life in F1. I can think of no better way to know more about Daniel than the Joe Rogan Podcast, conveniently located in Austin, TX. Joe’s globally-viewed podcast has had some of the biggest names in culture.

I asked ChatGPT what a Podcast with Joe Rogan & Daniel Ricciardo would sound like, and I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate it sounded. Here is a glimpse into what ChatGPT thought a JRE w/Daniel Ricciardo episode would sound like:

[Intro music fades out]

Joe Rogan (JR): Alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Joe Rogan Experience. Today, we've got a special guest in the studio, none other than Formula 1 sensation Daniel Ricciardo! Daniel, thanks for coming on the show.

Daniel Ricciardo (DR): Thanks, Joe. It's great to be here. I've heard a lot about this podcast, and I'm excited to dive into some interesting topics.

JR: Yeah, man, we cover all kinds of stuff here. First of all, I've gotta ask you about the world of Formula 1. It's such a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled sport. What's it like to be behind the wheel of those incredible machines?

DR: Well, Joe, it's an absolute rush. The speed, the precision, the competition—it's like nothing else. It's a combination of physical and mental demands that's hard to put into words. But when you're out on that track, it's pure focus and intensity.

JR: I can imagine. And speaking of intensity, I've seen some of your post-race celebrations, like the "shoey." How did that start, and what's the story behind it?

DR: Haha, the shoey! That's become a bit of a thing, hasn't it? It actually started a few years back in Australia. I won a race, and a fan handed me a shoe filled with champagne. I figured, why not? I drank from it, and it became a thing. Now it's a tradition whenever I win. It's all in good fun.

JR: That's awesome. Now, I know that Formula 1 drivers have to be incredibly disciplined and focused. Can you tell us about your training regimen and how you prepare for races both mentally and physically?

DR: Absolutely, Joe. It's a full-time commitment. Physically, we're constantly working on our strength and endurance. It's a mix of cardio, strength training, and specific exercises to handle the G-forces. Mentally, I work with a sports psychologist to stay sharp and focused, especially during high-pressure situations. Visualization is a big part of it too.

JR: That's interesting. I've heard you talk about the mental aspect of racing before, and it's clear that it's a huge part of your success. Now, let's switch gears a bit. I know you're a car enthusiast outside of racing. Tell us about your love for cars and any cool rides you have in your collection.

DR: Oh, I'm definitely a car guy, Joe. I've got a few special ones in my collection. I'm a big fan of vintage cars, especially classic American muscle cars. I've got a '69 Camaro and a '65 Mustang. And of course, I've got a few more modern sports cars too. It's a passion of mine.

JR: Those sound like some sweet rides, man. Now, I've gotta ask about the future of Formula 1. The sport has been evolving with new regulations, sustainability efforts, and a push for closer competition. What are your thoughts on where Formula 1 is headed?

DR: Formula 1 is definitely evolving, and I think it's for the better. The new regulations aim to make racing more competitive and exciting for fans. Plus, there's a big focus on sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, which is essential for the future. I'm excited to see where the sport goes from here.

JR: That's great to hear. Alright, Daniel, before we wrap this up, I've got a random question for you. If you weren't a Formula 1 driver, what do you think you'd be doing for a living?

DR: That's a tough one, Joe. I've always been passionate about sports, so maybe something in another sport, like coaching or sports management. But who knows? Racing has been my life, and I can't imagine doing anything else.

JR: Well, Daniel, it's been a pleasure having you on the show. Thanks for sharing your insights into the world of Formula 1 and giving us a glimpse into your life outside of racing. Any final thoughts or messages for our listeners?

DR: Thanks, Joe. It's been a blast. To the listeners out there, keep chasing your passions, and remember that success comes from hard work and dedication. And maybe one day, I'll see you on the podium with a shoey in hand!

JR: That's a wrap for today's episode, folks. Thanks for tuning in to the Joe Rogan Experience. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share. And as always, stay curious and keep pushing the limits.

This would be a fascinating podcast and I think the viewership would be off the charts. I hope Daniel’s team will line this up!
