Particularly on YouTube, we have just a fanatical audience for auto racing.
Anything F1, people go absolutely crazy.
But I have to admit, I'm the global editorial director, which is a fancy way of saying I'm the editor-in-chief.
I'm not an expert in everything that we do here at Wired, and cars and driving is not my strong suit.
I do not have a driver's license, but I do know that F1 has been breaking through in the U.S.
in a significant way.
We're going to get into the specifics of it all.
You're going to teach me more about auto racing.
You're going to talk to me about cars.
I want to learn.
I want to understand this world.
I think our listeners do, too.
But first, I want to actually start with your personal story because it's a fascinating one in terms of how you got to where you are now.
And I understand that it started with watches and it started with Wheel of Fortune.
So take us back many, many years to the origin story of Zach Brown.

I'm certainly not an expert at all things McLaren racing.

Yeah.
