Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Toto Wolff (team principal of Mercedes F1 team)

Okay. Have you started to acknowledge the gift you and I were given? This has hit me over the last five years. As things have been explained to me and I've changed my opinions on things, I was brought home to a single white trailer. A ton of violent stepdads, addiction all through the family. It was a rough go. So when I heard white privilege, I was like, what privilege did I have?

If I were black, I would be in prison for the rest of my life. End of story. I would be shot. I didn't talk to police with the right amount of respect. You know, there's no way. And I was like, okay, yeah, I do have a ton of privilege. I've just now come to own the fact that being 6'2 is a lot of it. I've directed movies. I've gone into studios and said, give me $30 million. You can trust me.
