Guess who’s in town for Formula Drift, rolling up in that distinctive orange Murciélago? Why it’s ADAM LZ of course! He found time after a busy media day to swing by the studio to chop it up with Scotto. Hear the story of how they actually first met, way back in the dawn of the first YouTube Era and find out everything Adam’s been up to since, and even what’s next. Could LZ really be looking to a life beyond YouTube? Sit back as we dive into his crazy schedule and impressive work ethic, there’s more than meets the eye with this YouTuber-Drifter-BMX-Guitar-Content polymath machine! Enjoy.

For those of you who appreciate our more, shall we say ‘free form’ episodes? This one’s for you! Get ready for ADHD-fuelled tangent after tangent, curve after curve in an extended conversational touge stage that is as thrilling as it is prolific. This time? No-one’s making it out alive! Nads tries his level best to get cancelled, Producer Nick realises he may need a more robust command of criminal law, and Scotto is in a blissful realm of his own, having created another patented Scotto-fied format with “What Did You Bring to a Picnic? - The Podcast!” (coming soon, I both fear and do not doubt). Exhales - ok, you’re just going to have to listen for yourselves… if you dare! Enjoy.

This week we’ve got something a little different for you. 4/3 Day, in memory of Ken Block, is around the corner, so Scotto decided to dedicate this solo episode to sharing some personal stories and memories of Ken. It’s also a little taster of what’s coming up on 4/3 day itself. In case you hadn’t heard about it yet, there will be a special 4/3 day event on YouTube from Block House Racing HQ, where Scotto and other familiar faces will be hosting a FOUR-AND-A-HALF HOURS fundraising stream-a-thon! 9am PT on Friday, April 3rd - don’t miss it! There will be live action, great stories and a great collection of guests to both celebrate Ken’s memory and to support the fantastic work of 43 Institute. Meanwhile, catch some personal reminiscences here from Scotto to get a little taste of what’s to come, and as ever - enjoy.
