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

Susie. No, listen to me. This is such a delight. If my wife dies and Toto dies, I'm sprinting to you, okay? I just want to say, what a dynamo. A beautiful race car driver who also runs an academy. What more does someone need? That's pretty cool. All right, I'm going to turn you back to him, but I'm delighted to hear your voice. Here's Toto. Hello. How fun. Okay, sleep well.

If we become friends, text me. I do. Yeah, we don't need to talk on the phone.

You know what? I got to figure out how to put it on her phone because she doesn't ever, ever answer. But what I think happened is I was asking you about your parents' divorce and Susie was always there. And then she hit a button to call to interrupt that question because she's like, oh, Toto's not going to want to talk about that. No, I talk openly about it. I know. You're wonderful.

Because this is who I am. Yes. This is later in the conversation, but I'll say you and I have a blessing. We're big enough and we fit the role enough that it affords us a willingness to be vulnerable in a way men have a hard time doing. And I think it's a luxury. Yeah. If I had a different life, it would be much harder for me. So I recognize it is easier for me than someone else.

Yeah, in your teens, and this happens, but mom and dad separated. So that was separate from the diagnosis.

The thing I thought of, and this is a tricky question, but my dad got diagnosed with small cell carcinoma in August and he was dead on January 1st. So it was like a three month thing. And then my stepdad got prostate cancer and that was like a two and a half, three year thing. And I'll say the stress of having a loved one have a condition that you're not sure when the end is.

I found the experience with my dad much easier to process. It's like, okay, this is happening. Let's spend the next few months together. I'll clear my schedule. I'll take you to your appointments. I find it very hard. And the notion that your dad had this condition for seven years, you're just kind of like, where are we at? What's going to happen? That feels very stressful.

And then a guilt when you feel relieved it's over. Exactly.
