GHIT 0104: Liam Fischer's Hot Ones Style Tribute Interview

Published: April 12, 2020, 8 a.m.

On this episode, we finally talked Liam into coming on the podcast by making it in the style of one of his favorite shows on YouTube, Hot Ones.\xa0 Since Bill has almost zero tolerance for spicy food, Vicki tagged in to assist with the interview and we also took advantage of the opportunity and covered several aspects of teenage driving, driver training, and racing.\xa0 If you prefer, there is a live video recording on our YouTube channel, creatively named Garage Heroes In Training.

Our Dominating with Dawson segment for this episode add Heel-toe Downshifting to our jargon repertoire.

We hope you enjoy it. The episode is still going for Liam and Vicki, lol.

Also, we would like to the thank the team over at Hot Ones for their great YouTube episodes and wish them the best of luck.\xa0 They can be found on their channel at "First We Feast" or by searching for "Hot Ones" on YouTube.

2)\xa0 Some thoughts and suggestions on training a young driver in general and how it has been helped by racing and race training events

7)\xa0 We try to provide help and suggestions to new racers or soon to be racers throughout the episode.\xa0 Please remember to ask before hopping into the hot tub.
8)\xa0 Liam tries to compare the 2017 Toyota 86 to a stock ND2 Miata and a Stage 2 Flyin' Miata turbo NB Miata, however the wings inhibited some of his brain processing capability and the virtues of learning to drive and daily driving a +/- 200 HP car.
9)\xa0 Vicki tries to come up with three good things about her first car.\xa0 And fails.\xa0 3 bad things were way easier.
10)\xa0 You start to see the affect of the hot sauces about 25-30 minutes into the episode

14)\xa0 Da Bomb hot sauce lives up to its reputation

18)\xa0 The hot sauces apparently make Liam delirious when he comes up with his dream car to build into a race car.
19)\xa0 Vicki and Liam's favorite and least favorite tracks so far.\xa0 NJMP makes both lists for Vicki.

24)\xa0 We end with Bill attempting to herd the two cats for a final question and then a delirious ranking of the sauces.
