The Armchair Expert Podcast With Daniel, But Only The Bits That Gave Me Heart Palpitations

The Armchair Expert Podcast with Daniel, but only the bits that gave me heart palpitations

-Daniel calls Dax his sugar daddy

- DANIEL SITS DOWN AND IMMEDIATELY OFFERS TO TAKE OFF HIS SHOES BC foot fetish HE DOESNT WANT TO TOUCH THE SOFA WITH HIS SHOES AND THEY SAY, OMINOUSLY: "the sofa has seen way worse"

- Bisexual Chaos ensues at the very beginning as both Monica and Dax take turns hitting on Daniel and calling him gorgeous as he giggles and says "gorgeous is a big word" what a gorgeous idiot (there is actually a v compelling bit here about Daniel performing as Daniel Ricciardo and the difference between Daniel the Performance and Daniel the person)

-Dax and Monica say Daniel is bar none the sweetest, kindest and best mannered celebrity or athlete they have ever encountered or interviewed. They literally spend the first 20 minutes marvelling at how polite and charming he is. Dax said his wife, Kristen Bell, pulled him aside the first time she met Daniel just to gush about how charmed she was.

- Daniel said he doesn't have a deference to authority, he said in a room with 6 people, he'll try to speak to everyone, and give everyone equal time and attention, not just the CEO. He learned that from being forced to attend endless sponsorship events, he said it's important to him to make everyone feel human, not just attend those events to talk to the stakeholders and ignore the fans

- Dax felt bad for texting Daniel after a bad race, didn't know whether he should have even brought it up, apologised, then sent Daniel an apology for his apology then a voice note explaining the apology, and Daniel just replied with a loooooong voice note of him laughing at Dax SCREAM

- Daniel can't swim, or more aptly his swimming is ranked: survival not recreational, says "I love adrenalin but where I'm least equipped is water, I feel like I can swim but I'm not great, I'm just a step above Monica" for reference MONICA DROWNED I'm crying

- Dax, who has interviewed everyone from fucking Obama to Justin Timberlake to Kim K to Natalie Portman to Halsey to Shawn Mendes to prince Harry AND THATS JUST OVER THE COURSE OF 12 MONTHS says Daniel is the most charismatic person he knows

- Daniel says he doesn't like having outbursts on radio because it's unfair to humiliate the team, he said it's not conducive to growth

- Daniel is very bashful about his RIC3 merch, Dax and Monica are fangirling about how his merch is literally the only thing they wear and despite Daniel sending them packages before every drop they both usually order more stuff anyway and I wanted to summarise this bit but he's honestly just radiating earnestness and passion and that's hard to put into words :(

-important Dax and Monica, like the rest of us ARE OBSESSED WITH BLAKE.

it was very good and I urge you to listen to it

Remember when Daniel won the Italian GP? Good times 😁

there’s not a day where i don’t think about the most special day this year - where my favourite monza race winner set the fastest lap on the last lap despite having the oldest tyres amongst the grid, had the fastest pit, won driver of the day, and walked around the paddock the whole day without his shoes <3
