  • A (Sprint) Day At the Spa: Rookies, Rain, and He Who Must Not Be Named

    A (Sprint) Day At the Spa: Rookies, Rain, and He Who Must Not Be Named
    Aug 2 2025
    In this episode, the Denton gang dive into the Sprint Race at Spa, where the track wasn’t the only thing slippery—so were some of those post-race interviews. We unpack the usual chaos, including Toto Wolff's absolutely iconic moment when asked about Christian Horner, and we brace ourselves for a wet and wild GP day, which can only mean one thing: Red Bull is gonna stress Jo out and Charles Leclerc will battle his eternal nemesis—water.We discuss the rising tide of Oscar Piastri critics and read the articles so you don’t have to,and we discuss Lewis Hamilton's vision for Ferrari. Race predictions? Yes. A discussion on why Brits are called “Poms”? Somehow also yes.Other pit stops include:🏁 GP predictions fly, and as always, none of us agree with each other🏁 Eugene pitches for a Red Bull sponsorship—we’re manifesting it.🏁 Jo tries her hand at Spa on the sim and has beef with Eau Rouge.🏁 In a rare moment of unity, we agree: Lance Stroll has absolutely earned his seat this year.🏁And a heartfelt tangent on Lando Norris’ negative self-talk—we’re all for speed, but maybe less on the self-drag, Lando.Also: Does uttering “He Who Must Not Be Named” truly summon his die-hard superfans from the shadows? Find out.
    Grab your soggy croissants, buckle up, and don’t forget your spa-rkle. We’re here for A (Sprint) Day at the Spa… because it’s Lights Out and Away We Chat episode five!

  • British GP-Tea: Spilled, Sipped, and Shoey’d

    British GP-Tea: Spilled, Sipped, and Shoey’d
    Jul 25 2025
    In this hilariously off-track episode of Lights Out and Away We Chat, the Denton gang is back after a bit of a break—just in time to unpack the absolute fever dream that was the 2025 British Grand Prix.🏁 Nico Hülkenberg hulk smashes his way to his first-ever podium after 239 starts.
    🏁 Lando takes the win (and loses a shoe thanks to his teammate), Oscar gets a 10-second penalty (was it harsh?), and Lance Stroll briefly enters the top three which was on no ones bingo card (?!).
    🏁 Max to Mercedes? George to Red Bull? Bottas to Alpine?
    🏁 Ferrari gets spanked—some of us are sad about itMid-recording? Christian Horner gets fired. Yes, it actually happened.Meanwhile:
    ✨ Jo finds out the Muppets and Sesame Street are not the same thing and vents about Flavio Briatore (don’t worry, we bleeped all of it).
    💬 We reveal our favorite drivers, stray into pet stories and F1 memes, and reflect on everything from shoeys to explaining to Eugene what hittin’ a griddy means.
    🎮 Jo starts sim racing and tackles the upcoming Spa track under Anakyns tutelage, meanwhile Eugene is in the hot seat about a letter he wrote 18 years ago.
    It’s silly, chaotic, and packed with more twists than Silverstone. Buckle up! Because it’s Lights Out and Away We Chat episode four!

    Star Wars Day, Sewer Gators, and the Sprint King of Miami
    May 11 2025
    At the time of recording, it’s the 4th of May, the sprint just ended, and Kimi Antonelli made history as the youngest-ever sprint pole sitter at 18—beating legends like Vettel, Leclerc, Alonso, Verstappen, and Norris, who all did it at 21. Meanwhile, Ferrari dropped a livery so underwhelming it might actually be overwhelming (in a bad way), Racing Bulls served up the iconic VCarbie, and someone left tools in Lando’s car.On today's episode we talk about
    - Giant sewer alligators & Florida Man Birthdays
    - Max and Kelly’s baby Lily and why Alonso will likely come out of retirement to race her
    - George Russell’s talks with Redbull
    - GTA 6 memes & animal-themed F1 game ideas
    - Star Wars vs Star Trek
    - Why Lance Stroll might have more in common with Star Wars than we thought and what Piastri has in common with Obi Wan Kenobi. And more!Join the fam once again for another unhinged pit stop into F1, with our usual chaotic generational takes about the most chaotic GP on the calendar to date. Buckle up! Because it’s Lights Out and Away We Chat episode three!
