Summary
We’re back! INTC’s third season starts… now! Are we celebrating by going full nerd with this one? Does Alex Palou wear Labubu pajamas? Did Sam have a dream last week where Ross and Jeff heckled him from the audience like Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets ? (The answers, respectively: yes; definitely yes; and dear lord, it was deeply weird but also oddly delightful, yes.) You asked for it: This is an episode about books! Racing books, to be specific—the ones that changed our lives. And naturally, Sam decided to turn it into a fun little game show, because he’s broken like that. *** IN THIS EP: The racing book that tops them all — Jimmy Clark scars a young Ross — Mark Donohue scars a young Sam — The zen phrases Ross keeps under his pillow at night — The Lady Badass McSuitcase — and more! This show changes format weekly, because squirrel. This week’s format is an experiment—we call it “THOSE PEOPLE DON’T READ.” This episode was produced by Sam Smith. ** BOOKS IN THIS EP: “By Brooks Too Broad For Leaping” by Denise McCluggage: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?ds=20&kn=by%20brooks%20too%20broad%20for%20leaping&ref_=ds_ac_rk&sts=t * “Jim Clark at the Wheel” by Jim Clark: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?ds=20&kn=jim%20clark%20at%20the%20wheel&ref_=ds_ac_d_22&sts=t * “Stand On It” by Bill Neely and Bob Ottum: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?ds=20&kn=stand%20on%20it&ref_=ds_ac_d_11&sts=t * “Thinking Body, Dancing Mind” by Chungliang Al Huang: https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Body-Dancing-Mind-Extraordinary/dp/0553373781/ * “The Unfair Advantage” by Mark Donohue: https://www.amazon.com/Unfair-Advantage-Mark-Donohue/dp/0837600693/ * “How to Build a Car” by Adrian Newey: https://www.amazon.com/How-Bu…
