"There and say this Callie actually Kelly has said that this is going to be more difficult than last year, which is a big statement in a way because to win your first title is often thought as one of the hardest things to do, but he's already thinking that given the way that the championships rolled out already with moving to M sport, having two teams to really fight against instead of one. Yeah, this is going to be tough. This is going to be, I think this is tough toughest examination yet for Kelly Robin Perry to see just what a driver here is. We know what he can do, but and let's remember a lot of his success last year and not to take anything away from what he did last week. He was phenomenal. The first half of the season he really built that championship and that was exactly the same time that Honda was struggling. If he's coming into a championship where an ems for a winning from the get go, then this is where it's going to be interesting. He could find himself behind in the championship early doors and it would be keen to see how he reacts to that and how he reacts with the pressure and the expectation now of him going out there and performing. I'd like to see how, you know, I think that's going to be a key area, how he's going to deal with that pressure. And the way that Cali is, he's so unflappable, cool, karma collected, he's just it's difficult to see him sort of falling into a trap of getting stressed out. And I think the only time we really saw it was in Belgium, which is shortly before he had this monumental crash, but that was only because of some sort of timing or logistics era from the organizers that had rattled Cali and his coach over Yanni. So yeah, it would be interesting to see how he coached this. He obviously knows he realizes that this is going to be difficult and perhaps harder than ever. And a key stat here to remind everyone is that only 5 drivers have defended their WRC titles in the history of the championship. So the 50 years of WRC, it's only U hawk Hank and Mickey biazzi on Tommy mcin Sebastian Loeb and Sebastian ogier, the successfully defended tiles. So it's an exclusive club. It's not easy. So this will be key to see whether he can join that club. Yeah, if he does smash it this year and grow and develop and extend his dominance. They should give him the next 6 titles right now. Then it's ominous, but I'm not sure that's how it's going to play out. He has arguably the toughest set of teammates in terms of the overall strength. Elvin Evans is no walk over. Could they end up taking points off each other if otero does a good car this year and you've got OJ in the mix? Maybe I've even offended a few Evans fans by not saying it's a four way fight for the title this year because he'll fancy it an elephant as I said in our season preview this week is I think he's going to be the most hungry of the contenders because of the season they had last year really didn't meet his expectations. But certainly 12 months in now and he's found the direction with this yaris I think he's going to be a much stronger proposition this year and in my eyes I've listed him as in my contenders for the title for in the season preview. So I'm expecting him to challenge. But you're right. He's going to be taking points off Cali in the team. So it's another factor and variable that Kelly is going to have to deal with. He's got not only has he got he's got titled threats coming from M sport and high diabetes, also got them from his own team. So it's a really fascinating prospect. It really is. And then Monte Carlo, for example, you are going to put your house on OJ to win this round. So that's already a win that's potentially going to be taken away from all of the title contenders. So in many ways, the battle for second in Monte Carlo is actually the most interesting OJ's running away for it, because that's really the victory. So it's a fascinating prospect. You've seen some car testing videos. What do you think? We can say that toys are in height, I've definitely made changes to their cars. I'm not I will correct for my wrong and I'll find out this week, but certainly from the outside you couldn't see anything different on the M sport car other than a very striking delivery. So the hind eye guys have worked well. They've been quite clever, actually. In fact, I think props the most interesting of the developments is they've extended the bonnet and flattened it to sort of create a quasi front splitter. To help with down force on the front of their car, which none of the others have done. Whether that works or not remains to be seen, but still a clever innovation, and they've completely redone their rear wing and some of the rest of the aero. So which was probably one of the areas that they were deficient in compared to the others. Last season. So we will see how that goes towards it again. Their cool little side pods are now gone. Because they even said that they overestimate the amount of cooling they needed for the hybrid, so those have gone. We've got a much smoother sleeker looking rear end of that yaris now. And so the arrow is obviously where they've worked on there as well as the engine. So yeah, it's going to be interesting to see who's done the best over the winter. But yeah, don't go wrong. It was for eSports for pure may not look that different, but we have been assured that there is plenty of development going on this year and will carry on this year. So we could well see some changes later down the line. I think it's got a fantastic looking livery as well as it did last year. If you judge it on what the cars look like. I did like the fact that it's obviously not a full manufactured team. They do have a bit more sort of free license over what they can do with their liveries so they make the most of it and fair play to them for doing it. But I think this must be the first dark synth inspired music delivery I've ever seen in motor sports. So fair place of for going down quite a niche avenue and pulling something off. Now I love it. So getting back to my point of I'm really excited about this year in WRC. I think if someone hasn't tried it and they're listening to the auto sport podcast and maybe they've not given it a guy really think that go in with an open mind, fans will know how exciting this year is going to be. You might just be surprised. With three strong teams already, as you mentioned it already look, you know, it's small, but perfectly formed. If this year is legendary, the could that possibly strike up boardroom conversations as there's more electrification coming in both road cars and rally, the likes of Subaru, BMW, Mitsubishi, et cetera. Could we see possibly a greater excitement around maybe more entrance one day?

"Bit more as he's covered him extensively in supercars before. But it's that tricky element of within each individual series as well. How do you, how do you weigh up a champion say of super GT who maybe didn't make our list versus coming second in DTM where there's 18 drivers that on any given day could take pole position and indeed end this year is a one driver per car championship. So it really is the spotlight on that particular driver as opposed to a communal effort saying in something like super GT, where in the past we've had super GT drivers on our list as well. Auto sport was just going to favor single seaters. That's what everyone's watching. No, because I don't think they are. I think everyone's watching Formula One. I don't think anyone's watching F two or F three. Let's brutal. But seriously, you can't just lump them all together. I think we've seen this comes anything from F one down to, you know? FY three formula regional, the rest of it. So about 50 modes of club. Wow, yeah, I mean, a formula V I don't think a formula E driver has ever made the list. Not much to Ben Anderson's upset. But yeah, I mean, I think that just feeds into where the hierarchy of the championships are. So and also, you can tell in F two, if someone how mega they are, do they know it in the first year, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Lando Norris. Yes. Or does it take them three or four years to do it? Yeah. So drunk which is a great champion needs to get. He got the job done pretty comfortably in the end that everyone seemed to be fighting behind him. But it is his third year. So you think, yeah, he deserves a shot, but he's not, oh my God, we got to see him in an effort. He's not an Oscar piastre here. This guy needs to be an F one. Immediately. It's a little bit quite good if you had just a slight emphasis. It's not slagging him off or anything. But I think we've got, should we not do the bankers burger and chat now? 'cause he's come up about three or four talking, so I was just gonna actually just back up and say that the F two fit wasn't that great. So I think that's not a bad reflection on his season and plus going back to the point where you say, oh, we only care about single seats. We've got Kelly Robin Perry who's ever since agencies and if P three. Well argued. And if you look at the list over the past years, a rally driver, WRC is always featured in top 5 or 6. So that's the championship that maybe isn't quite as big as it used to be. So that's a group point to argue. And next year as James has already pointed out, you know, we will have more room to drivers in the top 20 through NDH. I like it. Because instantly, I mean, if Nick tan isn't higher up in this top 50 next year, I'll be disappointed if you don't know he's driving a Penske Porsche like, come on, there's going to be some big wins there I think. So yeah, he'll move up the list and I'm sure there will be a number of others in the various prototypes that are going to be hardly say. You're 50, I think the fish is going to be even hard next year, James, because we're going to have everyone that's basically on it now. Plus 20 yards from prototypes. And I guess it depends on who reaches the final stages of the NASCAR deciding rate as well. We've not mentioned NASCAR at all yet, but much to Kev's delight. But we've got two NASCAR drivers in the top 20 as well with Joey Logano in 11 the driver who obviously won the title. We got rush Chastain in at number 20 for his first appearance as well. And that's Ross Chastain is the highest new entry. He is on our list. That's just recency bias surely. And of course, it's not down to his Martinsville wall ride. That's ultimately that is what got him into the championship race, but as a stressed earlier, it is based on the whole season, and he won it very different tracks like Talladega and Kota. But yes, onto fingers. Into the conversation, then whose fault is that for arguing him so high? I will take some of the blank but it's also Andrew van leeuwen, who is our supercars correspondent and a good friend of mine, but we both covered supercars well, he's covered a lot more than I've done at least four or 5 seasons when I was out there working. So I've been around that paddock to know the talent of that Ginsburg. For me, yeah, as James harder, he's absolutely smashed the championship this year. Yes, the opposition wasn't as strong as it was previously, but he's already obviously shown what he can do are up against the likes of McLaughlin and Jane wake up before. So this is third title. Also one bathus, which is which to be honest with you in Australia, bath, this means more championship. So that is the big deal out there. So you win that, everyone remembers you for bathrooms, they very rarely made me feel in the championship. So for me, that gives me the reason why he's so high for me is the fact that he's possibly the most versatile driver I've ever come across. You fry him in anything. He will go well and as we saw in the WRC made his debut score points got a podium in Dodge all the seat two. I know the field isn't super strong and it was New Zealand, but that was his first proper rally event. Only his 5th ever rally. And he's going in there and just showing people up that you really shouldn't be. So you can reason why I think he deserves this spot. You can also come back to what we said earlier about Verstappen in that what more could he have done?

"Okay, so max had that slightly dubious thing with mixing your accuracy over stone, but that wasn't a crash and then he obviously switched to the magnets back on interlagos, but that was one one race. The rest of the time he's raced fairly, he's been smashed the record in a car that I don't think was as dominant as he made it look. He's pretty much, he is pretty much the complete package. We're now into a situation where we're going to be talking about him entering the kind of overall greats of the sport. The only question Mark I think we've got I've got in my mind now is can he actually ever get his head around racing Lewis Hamilton? I don't know whether it's a mental block because we know that he can race that we've now seen it enough against other drivers. And he still needs a wet weather virtuosity drive on the list because Japan was curtailed through no thought of his and obviously Brazil 2016 which is one F one remembers people seem to forget that Lewis had that one covered as well and max knew it in the post race interviews as well. So we're waiting for Verstappen in 2008 British Grand Prix moment or the Esther in 85 or whatever. But he's ticking off a lot of the boxes in the moon. I think it was a no brainer to have a number one this year to be honest. Yeah. You also have to say, what else could he have done more for us to justify number one? I mean, he really literally did. Win every race in the chat. Like what else can he do? He has to go number one. Yeah, I mean, there were a couple of areas, obviously there's a spinning hungry off in Spain. But in the 22 race calendar, I think the likelihood of getting a competitive challenge to get through an entire season with that making some sort of error. It's almost impossible. Yeah, I don't really hold that. And when you compare it to the significant points costing mistake that leclerc made in the French Grand Prix also you have to say that that will count against him. I mean, there will be people that think, well, you know, the end of season performances relative to Verstappen mean that, well, maybe he should be lower in our list. But we do have to take into account the whole year. And at the start of the year and his qualifying record should be on the plate, I think. And I think that was what gave him the edge over Kelly Robin Perry in the fight for second. Tom can obviously weigh in on the Robin pair of debate because he's smashed records of the youngest champion and so forth and looks set for a really prosperous career. Or should we talk about that, Kelly Ron pere? Should he have been second where Charles Leclerc was because Charles Leclerc has made mistakes this year, which cost him places, whereas where over the course of the season, where Cali didn't score big points, it wasn't always his fault, although he is on the ragged edge and you could argue well, you know, you make your own luck, so it was his fault because he didn't drive within himself. He didn't need to push that hard. There is a case for him to go to Peter, but I would actually say you must forget Callie did make some quite big errors too. Like there was a big crash in Belgium where he rolled. There was a crash in Greece where you could actually argue he was starting to sort of come under a bit of pressure from tanak in the championship racing was starting to maybe buckle a little bit. So would you say it was perhaps exceptional and penalized because if you look at rally safari where he pulls out just like another worldly performance, yeah, no, absolutely. Question about a deserves. He definitely deserves to be in P three. I think P two is probably just pushing it a little bit too much because he won the title with two hours to spare so you could the last two rounds he was just really you could tell he wasn't really there if you don't maybe he wasn't really his normal self. So if you're looking at as a whole season, like he wasn't superb or way through. It doesn't need to be. But he doesn't need to be because he did. Exactly, that's the thing. So he's at the luxury of he could just do that. That's how good he's been. But also, he could have won as you and I talked about on the right review podcast, he could have won it several times before he did. I think twice I think there was two rallies where he could have won. But that's where he had the two crashes with the two rallies where he could have wrapped up the title. So that's where he had these two errors where which is why I was suggesting maybe it got a little bit too much for him. But we know what he can do in the 6 wins in the 70s stage wins just goes to show that his age, he should be doing that, but he is. I think there are two reasons why I would have leclerc had a very arguably with all of that. But one is that rovan pair didn't have to deal with special agent and lobe on a regular basis. It's like there was I think Tom wrote a piece like who will who's the next one? Who's the heir to the throne? Because it had been left vacant. He hasn't done a Max Verstappen and come along and taking it off the incumbent incumbents have gone. So obviously he's mega. I'm not suggesting he isn't, but that is that he can't have that bonus point, if you like. And the other one is, yeah, we talked about the collective French Grand Prix, but that's not the reason why he lost the world challenge.

"I was pretty sure it would happen, but because the team was still still there, with structure, I still the same, so there was no reason we could not make it again. But we were just missing time. So it was not a question of if but more when. What do you think about what he said there? You don't turn into a bad team overnight. These are a talented bunch of you guys. They were going to get on top of it eventually, but I am surprised that they got on top of this quickly and were able to deliver a one, two, three, because this remember, this is a one, two, three, historic result for the team. And it's come with arguably one of their worst cars. So it's everywhere you look at it, it's generally remarkable. It's just a classic case of this WRC season, which we are enjoying. Following up the results and drama that you just can not script. I look back at the year and it's incredible what we've been through, really. We've had low victories we've had a low versus OJ we've had we've had a Roman pair of magical moments that are just you might never see again and now we've got tanak and the hind resurgence and sports drama. You could write a book quite easily. Given the season that we're having, it would be a book that would have to live in the fantasy section of the library, wouldn't it? You couldn't make half of this up. That's why it's such an incredible compelling season to follow whether you're into your rally or whether you're just a kind of following it from the sidelines or just getting into it a brilliant season this year. Right, coming up on the podcast next, we'll get into that big controversy around team orders, which denied tank the opportunity to close the gap on his title rival Kali Rothenberg and we'll hear from the man himself the winner Thierry neuville coming up on the podcast soon keep listening. Now tanak can win the title mathematically. And if you're Hyundai, you don't go out and go shopping and you don't employ a 2019 world champion for no reason. He is a star of that team. Thierry nouvelle, the winner of this rally. On the other hand, would bleed Hyundai if you cut him. He has as Hyundai as they come, driving for them since the team rejoined. Let's face it. Neuville was the winner, tanakh, who can win the championship mathematically, was told to hold station. Can you please start to unpack this controversial issue of team orders that came from the very top of the company? You can understand both sides of the argument here. They're on the verge of a historic result. That's not try and do anything too clever and cause this to slip away from ourselves. So I can understand the some degree the team order, but when elfin Evans retired on Sunday morning and they had a comfortable, comfortable gap over the fourth place driver, you could quite easily, I think, of rearranged their order to allow tanak to win this event and maximize his chances of reading in Roman parrot right. Now let's talk about the championship. It is a slim chance for tan. Let's remember that is a slim chance, but when Kelly was in Paris, has another rally where he's not in the top ten and only Sal, which is four points from a power stage, you have to take the most of those opportunities because Kali, you know, yes, okay, this is the second rally on the road that he's had some dramas, but if you look at his record previous, I don't think we'll see him have another mistake or around like this again. He doesn't do that very often. So you need to kind of, it was an open goal for tanakh that he needed help with to achieve the tap in shall we say. But yes, so you can understand tan X frustration because he's there and if I did the mass, if he'd won the rally and he ended up winning the power stage as well. So he would have achieved the maximum 30 points. If he did won the rally as well, the gap to Robin Perry would be down to 46 points heading into New Zealand and there's 90 points on the table remaining. So it's quite an interesting prospect when it looked when he looked at it like that because I think even last year the championship went down to the wire and auger had a lead I think of around 44 points around Finland and then in the last three rounds he sort of really labored towards the title and it went down to down to the wire in Monza. So anything can happen in rally. So I think if you're a team and you want to do the manufacturers and drivers double, then probably get in behind tamak in a situation like there was at Greece where it was relatively comfortable to switch its drivers would have probably made sense. And I can understand tanks frustration because he will see that as I'm clearly the number two driver here. This is Neville's team, I'm in the better position to win the championship, but yet they've gone with an order to benefit Thierry. So that must feel pretty hard to take for Titanic and clearly he was not happy at the end of the end of the rally saying that this was a correct decision if it was done from a PR point of view, but it wasn't a correct decision for himself. So it's quite strong words and it also said that it would have been a shame that there wasn't a fair fight. So you can sort of gauge how this is sort of hurt tanak. But the thing is with racing drivers is that once a month, you know, I imagine that they get paid on payload. Or when's the 28th of the month? When can I buy my bills? I'm sure it's done like, you know, with a contract that's paid and installments, but let's pretend they get paid weekly or monthly like the rest of the planet. But they receive the money, they're not writing the checks. And I understand it because when you're a racing driver in the peak of your career with the peak of your powers, you shouldn't be expected to think like a team manager. But Hyundai are writing the checks, which these guys are then caching. And I understand it from a team perspective. Look, we can do a one, two, three here. It's it will do morale good for hundreds, if not thousands of team members who work on this project. And then there's going to be one happy driver who's been with the team a long time, and one unhappy driver who is a former world champion and not with all respect to newville. The nearly man, which has been the story of his career.

"Little bit, but he just doesn't seem to feel pressure, which is such a worrying thought for everyone. And I don't think he really did feel any pressure at all over the weekend. He just simply what cost him a victory is just being having to open the roads on Friday. He was 21 seconds adrift at the end of Friday, which is just simply too much to catch up really when you're going up against someone like tannic. And he did his level best, he ended up 6.8 seconds shy in the end, so it just shows that how much he really pushed tanak. He did push him a lot. What was fascinating was it's such a great duel between them on Saturday and into Sunday. They in fact set identical times on two of the stages. That's how much they were pushing. It was extraordinary story performance, but unfortunately for Robert Perez, he sort of knew the game was up on Sunday. And yeah, he sort of engaged his sort of championship thinking and thought, you know, I just need to bring this home in second because I've got a massive championship lead, a desperately want to win this rally, but I don't want to throw it off the road either. So it's a very smart call for him on Sunday. He did, he did finish winning the power stage to give the fans plenty to cheer about, so there was plenty of excitement amongst the Finns, but yeah, second place. He could be proud of that and he said he said he was proud of that. I think that's what you have to say without Callie, but we will get on to us like a lappy, which is possibly one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my 16 years of doing motor sport journalism. A tease that you've just given there. That's what we call a, that's a nice little hook to keep. I still can't believe he finished third. And it's Tuesday. I'm still trying to fathom how he did this. But yeah, so yes, a peculiar story, which could be made into a film, I suppose. He was pretty much TEDx rival on Friday. I got to within 3.8 seconds of the lead. So it was really pushing. And the odds were looking quite favorable for us to pack a lack of E to actually win this event. He was going very well, but it all started to unravel on Saturday in one of the most bizarre things I think I've seen. Where he flicked up a rock with the front of his yaris. But The Rock went off to the right side of his car. Hit a tree, a rebounded back into his own windscreen, cracking and smashing the windscreen right in his eye line. So he couldn't see where he was going really. And lost a lot of time to that. And he himself said, he was frightened. Because he just simply was guessing where to put the car because the crack had sort of created a mirror effect so he couldn't really see what was going on. So that's where he sort of victory bid sort of unraveled and he was basically fighting for third after that. But you know, if you thought that was unlucky, there's Sunday with such a crazy turn of events where the penultimate stage he's coming to a left hand corner got caught in a rut and rolled the GI yaris three times, landed on his wheels, but the car had taken quite some battering. So it lost most of the rear wing. The radiator was punctured, and there was fluid leaking everywhere, and again, unfortunately for him, his windscreen was broken again. So it was just a sort of bizarre moment. Amazingly, he managed to re fire the car and finish the stage only losing 18 seconds. 18 seconds, rolling it down. And that's amazing. If this was the end of the story, it would be amazing, but it's not. So yeah, he lost 18 seconds. And when they told Callie Robin that this, there's an absolutely viral clip of Callie's reaction to this on social media which you need to go and look at. And Kelly is probably the most expressive of expressive I've seen him. His eyes wide open, couldn't believe that lapier had only lost 18 seconds after rolling three times, but anyway, back to the story. So lapi being the quick thinking Finn that he is, you could see there was liquid coming out of the front of the car and decided to ask the Marshals at the stage in for as many bottles of water that they had so he could sort of take them to try and refill the radiator and get it fixed. Unfortunately, not enough water. So again, the ingenuity of lapi and the rally driver came to the fore, and being in Finland, which the country of a thousand likes and the rally used to be called the thousand lakes rally, he drove to a nearby Lake, stopped him and his co driver Yanni firm got out, rushed down to the Lake edge with as many bottles of empty bottles as they could to fill up as much water as possible. Ran back to the car, then they decided to try and fix the leaks in the radiator and use the Lake water to fill up the radiator as well. Successfully managed to do that, kicked out the windscreen because they couldn't see where they were going. So that meant they had to both fit goggles so they could didn't have anything coming in to their eyes. So you've got this bizarre scene of them driving without a windscreen with goggles. They reach the stage. But even on the goggles thing quickly, that's even then that's crazy because as we've seen, rocks hit windscreens. And so the two guys are like, yes, they're wearing goggles. They don't get flies in their eyes, but you know, never mind flies. Rocks, so you have to drive differently, pull back a little bit, et cetera, et cetera, but he didn't really pull back. It's got balls of steel. Anyway, sorry, carry on. Yeah, so yeah, I get to get to the start of the final stage, and then on the first acceleration part of the roof of the car comes off, so there's just, it looks like a car that's been in a demolition Derby, and so they've got they've got no roof. They've got no windscreen. They've got the goggles on. The wind is coming through the car like you wouldn't believe. So the pace notes, book is flying everywhere, so yanny firms trying to read the pace notes, but he's obviously got a shout them now because the air coming in the car is so noisy and he was absolutely astonishing, but they managed to get through the stage and they were only ten seconds slower than Robin Perry who won the stage. And it's just, you sitting there and you're like, how are these guys doing this? But anyway, they got through to the end and picked up a podium which as Iraqi said, probably the strangest poem of his career. And to top it off when to keep the joke, I suppose, or the humor rolling, when they got to the podium both for SF ecker and Yanni for climbed onto the program, still wearing their goggles to collect their trophy. So it was just one of those moments where you just chalk up as that's just rally. That's just how it is. You know, it's just one of those bizarre moments that you just simply can't believe you're witnessing.

"He also said he was quite sketchy in places Tom and he wasn't even fully under control, but described being in the zone. We talked about that on the podcast before where if you were driving a rally car where you are the car and the car is you and it's just all one, but he had to often you can there's a sports person do that for a period of time whether it's a hundred meter race in the Commonwealth Games have been watching or but to do it day after day is a superhuman effort. So it sounds like you're massively impressed by his weekend. Yeah, absolutely. I think everyone was hugely impressed by what tanak did and as I said earlier he was really sort of competing with lesser machinery. And I know that there was there was a bit of mind games from tannock, which was quite interesting during the weekend, you know, he was sort of saying our Toyota unbeatable here and that's fair because Toyota, this is their backyard, this is where the team is based. They are based in the host city of the rally vascular. They've won every rally Finland since their return to the championship since 2017. So they were fully expected to win this. So to be able to sort of fend them off like he did was just simply incredible. And clearly there's something going on behind the scenes. He was an inspired tanak. He was driving with a purpose that we haven't seen, perhaps this year. And let's remember that he did win in Sardinia, but this was a different kind of victory. And he was quite emotional for Tanaka at the end as well. He sort of paid tribute to his wife for being there for supporting him during some difficult times he didn't sort of allude to what those difficult times were, but he's clearly there was some there was some emotion involved in this victory. Which we haven't seen before. And as I said, the only way I could sort of describe it was he was sort of driving like a classic Colin McCrae maximum attack style that we've seen Colin McRae produce over the years where it's just full attack. There's sketchy moments at the very, very many sketchy moments, but somehow he manages to drag this through. And I think the telling points of this was on Friday where he sort of said, you know, the car is uncomfortable, but I have to be uncomfortable to be able to produce these times. And after one stage, even said that his hands were shaking, that just so how much effort and what he was doing to try and hold this car. He was physically shaking afterwards. So it was a herculean effort and one that will go down in history. And a battle of the Finns behind him over Friday and Saturday with lappy and Robin pair a bit of a ding dong between them earlier in the rally before Robin Perry pulled clear finishing order tanak first, Robin pair a second lappy third elf and Evans in fourth Thierry navy 6th if sorry a new deal and katsu was sick there wasn't he. And Gus Greene Smith in the first, the fourth. In 7th, I hadn't run down the order, which I hadn't so apologies dear listener. So Tom, what do you make of that battle of the Finns for second and third place? Yeah, so obviously calorie run per massively the favorite going into this rally with his home round. It was his homecoming, I think everyone was to deliver a victory. It would always be tough starting first on the road because we championship position, but he had a huge amount of support in Finland. If there was anyone worried that Finland not having a world champion for 20 years that the sport was sort of it's popularity was dwindling, then Cali rov and pere has reignited this because the crowds were huge over the weekend. His support was massive. If he wanted to get a glimpse of calorie often pairing the service park, you were sort of 6 or 7 deep in the crowd. The Finns really do love this rally. An interesting stat and I will get onto the answer to the actual competition in a moment, but interesting stat that appeared yesterday was to sort of give you context as to how popular rallying is in Finland the entire rally is broadcast on pay television and free to air television via online platform. They have their own special TV studio in the service park just for the finished television. Sort of a sky F one style type of studio. And the figures that were produced over the weekend were 5.5 million hours of WRC rally Finland were watched through the national television provider. Which are quite too, if we look at it from a population point of view, every thin watching at least one hour of WRC over the four days. So that's a that is what Raleigh is infinite. It is a national obsession. It blew my mind just how popular it is. It is just literally one of their most favorite things to do and watch. Okay, well let's quickly hear from Kelly Robin Perez in his own words after you spoke to him right now. You're obviously

"Let's review an explosive rally Croatia. It's the gravel notes podcast with Tom Howard, my name is Martin Lee, asking Tom the questions today and holy moly Robin pero wins in Croatia a year after crashing out on stage one. But that's not a simple, rally nobody could have predicted how that one went. What are your impressions? If you're a rally phone right now, you're being spoilt for choice with the drama and excitement that is happening in the championship and has been for the last 6 months or so. Yeah, both to put it mildly to events from three this year have gone to a final stage showdown and on Sunday we had a hell of a final stage showdown between and Callie Robin perea. The rally itself looked as though rob and Perry had this sewn up he'd led by more than a minute million a minute and a half on Saturday morning had a 31 second lead on Sunday morning having lost almost a minute to a puncture on Saturday, but on Sunday it all got turned on its head. Thanks to some sudden down bore shower that on the penultimate stage and Paul Kelly had the wrong ties for that. I lost his lead to oit tanak and then we had a final stage showdown. Let's review a tweet you sent on Sunday morning when Robin perra looked like it had it all under control, which said soft tyre gamble hasn't paid off for Tanaka on stage 17 Robin perra on Pirelli's extends his lead to 31.1 seconds with just three stages to go. The flying Finn will take the win unless there is a twist in the tail and you had no idea when you tweeted that, but holy moly would there be a twist in the tail. In fact, I think we did a, I think we did a Twitter poll. Sunday morning, who will win rally Croatia and this will be one that's our rally fans might have got a little bit wrong. So there we go. I'll just mention that. Tanak took 57% and Robin Perry took 43% of the fan vote of who would win. So there you go. We get it wrong, but the fans get it wrong as well. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, no one really could have predicted what would happen in just those final three stages. So yeah, as we said by stage 17 of 20, rather than Perez got a 31 second lead over tanak and you thinking, yep, home and dry. This is simple. But then on stage 18, tanakh gets a clause a little bit of that time back, so it's like 28 seconds the lead for Rothenberg going into the stage and then the heavens opened. Toyota didn't actually have the information that it was going to ride. They believed that it was just going to be cloudy and the Rhine wouldn't come down. Whereas Hyundai, tan X team, their weather band got its spot on. He absolutely knew it was going to rain, so they took the soft tyres rather than the hard tyres that rob perri took and the softs are much better in the wet. Talent had a huge advantage going into this absolute sopping wet stage. Where he got, he took, well, he reclaimed all of that deficit to Robin Perry and had a 1.4 second lead going into the final stage where Paul calley just looked crestfallen because he'd done everything like he dominated the rally and then just saw it all just evaporate on one stage and left him with one stage to fight back. It was just, you had to feel for him, but ultimately a wrong title was his doubtful there. But the team obviously didn't have the info. So we had this absolute grandstand finish set up where we had a final power stage, obviously live on television, so a big crowd there that in fact reports of Frederick 50,000 fans across the weekend for rally cry, so they really seemed to pack the stages. They loved it. And they got a great finish. So heading into that final stage, the bizarrely the rides were absolutely bone dry in the sun had come out after that rain on the previous stage, but there was a lot of mud on the roads which meant that Cali's tyres were not the rubber you needed for that stage and it had the advantage. So to do what Cali did, which was as he said, a full scent, which is written on his crash helmet. And he absolutely launched into this stage. I've never seen any quite like this. It was just full maximum attack full like Colin McRae style and it was just ragged, but he managed to pull the gap and win the rally by 4.3 seconds, which was just left everyone stunned. Nobody thought he could do this. And I think that this is the moment where we've realized we've got a real superstar in our hands in WRC at the moment. So after a podium ceremony and was wearing a golden tie, which you hear Tom reference in this Tom caught up with Callie afterwards, just very quickly for some initial reaction here's what he said. Congratulations.

"Yeah. Oh my goodness. It's really it's impossible to fathom my brain's too small. My whole life right now consists of a set of rhythms that take up two square miles. And then occasionally leave those. The number trillion has been in our vocabulary now. You know, we spent a trillion on this a trillion is a thousand billion. And a billion is a thousand million. Okay, I just looked up how long it would take to count to a billion, just because I don't know. I don't even have a concept of. A thousand people think that is. About 30 years to count to 1 billion. If you just sit down and try it, don't try that. Okay, so what we're sorry. But we're putting our finger on is something that's very that's how we think about the unique to the modern world. That's what the philosopher Charles Taylor calls the deep abyss of time. This awareness through modern scientific cosmology that the amount of time and the depth of space within which we exist is abysmally more deep. Then humans have ever comprehended before. That does something to your sense of your place within that universe. Yeah. That's very different that shapes us just think in ways that are really different than how the biblical authors did. So if I were to have written an account of the beginning of time and space, I might have said, in the beginning, God created the ever expanding universe and all of its galaxies. Sure. Yeah, that's right. That's my cosmology. That's right. So the biblical authors began from an observational standpoint of a human standing on the ground. Yeah, so in the beginning, God created what's up there? The sky above, and what's down here. Yeah. The land below the feet. Yeah. And so the whole of the biblical cosmos essentially takes up and is described with language of what a human sees when they're on the ground looking about. And then they'll make metaphysical, though they'll ponder the nature of God, and then begin to describe what must be above and beyond the cosmos that can account for the snow globe in which we find ourselves. For example, so the biblical language about the earth assumes that we're on a flat disk, the edges of the land, the four corners of the land. The water is under the land, the land is on pillars. The sky dome above. Yeah. And this is how the biblical authors assume the cosmos is structured. So understanding this while we read helps us to make sense of things like the windows of heaven opened for just odd phrases that might seem odd to us, but actually make a lot of sense in that ancient perspective. Yeah, that's exactly right. So when this is just about trying to understand, there's another issue that comes along with how do I go to terms of the fact that that isn't how cosmos is ordered. Exactly. I mean, that's true of all of these points that you have here, this ancient lens. What do we do with that? Do we impose that ancient lens on ourselves as the norm or do we just recognize that's the vehicle of communication this ancient culture? Yep, that's right. Again, I referenced this somewhere early in these conversations, but a very helpful and fun book to read by revival scholar Robin Perry called the biblical cosmos, the pilgrims guide to the weird and wonderful world of the Bible. This is an extended quote, which I don't often read longest end quotes, but this is a good one, because he's addressing that that very one. And I think it helps us. Think it also helps us merge this part of the paradigm with wisdom literature, part of the paradigm. So he says Christians have a long tradition of adjusting and translating from biblical cosmology to contemporary cosmologies, often without even realizing it. So we just merged the ancient cosmology and shift it to our own. Usually unconsciously. In the history of Christianity, the ancient israelite cosmology, that's the three tiered cosmos of the skies, the land and the waters under the land. That gave way to the Ptolemaic cosmology that dominated Christian thought for centuries. So that's the cosmology where the earth is viewed as a globe. It is a sphere, but it's at the center of a whole series of spheres. The 7 spheres going out above and that accounts for the movements of different layers of stars and so on. So Perry continues, most Christians didn't even notice. That a shift had taken place that shift from biblical to the Ptolemaic. And once copernican cosmology finally supplanted the Ptolemaic, so that's that we're on a sphere, but we're not at the center. We're going around the sun. When that finally supplanted the Ptolemaic Christians had little trouble adapting to that either. Okay, so here's this takeaway. He says, remember, in the biblical text, the symbolic meaning of the image of heaven above, was always the most important thing about that language. Height, or depth, spoke of importance or rank. For the biblical authors, the idea of heaven being above, meant that heaven was the most important dimension of all the created world that's the high exalted place from which God rules overall things. Interpreting language of the high heavens, non geographically, so it's possible care. So he's saying is taking it as a symbol that we would say using the word heaven is what's above to describe like a transcendent dimension that accounts for all things. We would translate it into our cosmology which right now would be like another dimension. Where an ultimate foundational dimension that is only partially discernible to us. But that we need has to be present to explain everything else. And all of a sudden you're talking language of modern physics pretty quickly here. So to finish the quote, he says interpreting that language, non geographically. It doesn't threaten the heart of biblical cosmology at all. The truth that scripture pointed to was always that heaven is invisible. It's inaccessible to humans, but it's at the heart of all creation because divine life and rule all flow from it. It's very helpful at least for me. Yeah. Thank you, Robin, Perry. Yeah. Yeah, there is a sense of you think of I like to imagine an ancient thinker really believing that the stars are creatures and there's a dome. I mean, I think you sat them down, they'd be like, yeah, that's how it is. And God's thrown is up there and but then you get someone like Solomon who's talking about it and he's like, yeah, but even like the highest transcendent heavens couldn't contain God. Like he gets it. Totally. It's still like it's just a way to think about. And so I think the smartest ancients back then too also had this sense of like, yeah. We're just trying to we're just trying to make sense of this. That's right. So this has been huge for me in the last couple of years to just full on embrace ancient biblical cosmology. And it's become so beautiful and profound to me. It's because I've tried to do it Robin Perry is encouraging us to do, which is to translate. In my mind, so instead of imposing my cosmology on the biblical authors, it's about letting that letting the difference really stand out to me, and then pondering to myself, what does it mean? What does it mean? For David to say if I go to the skies, you're there. If I go into the abyss. You're there. You're inside me. You're outside man. I can't go anywhere. You're not there. Yeah. Poetry. And doing profound claims about the nature of God's relationship to creation. But using ancient cosmology, stuff like that. Yeah, so you try.

"Where are we. What kind of places. It this philosophy yes so lack is the world we inhabit is eternal. Is it finite and contingent or still arguing about is it static or is it. Dynamic is Cyclical going in eternal cycles or is it linear going in a sequence forward that right there is that ancient debate that spans cultures and times and the greek thought one thing and that developed and the jews and the christians developed a unique contribution based on the hebrew bible. History had history has a trajectory. Yeah that reality has beginning point. That reality cannot be the basis of its own existence all realities. We know it is contingent but still debate. It is yeah but logically. You have to just play it out. There must be some. 'cause is the famous about the first 'cause stuff like ours. We understand far as we understand. It's exactly right. So what i'm saying. Is the why christian being communicated by genesis one is very much a set of larger claims about the nature of reality that there is a personal being who is the ultimate one ordering in the one bringing life The one guiding and that There is some sort of linear forward development. That's going to culminate in something This major claims about the nature of reality that are communicated through this ancient israelite cosmology. Yes and that humans are made in his image yeah. The humans are both emerged from the material order. But then also have the ability to transcend their origins. And be a part of something that's much more cosmic in much more transcendent. Let us majors. I mean we're taking a philosophy class right now all of a sudden but i love about this question Is that it's asking. Can we do this in a fresh way. Yeah through a new cosmology and it seems like you totally could and it would be a really wonderful project and it would be really fun to breed someone or watch. Someone's version of that. Yeah and i'm sure stuff like that exists. Actually yeah actually here. Let me You know a really helpful book along these lines. So john walton so hebrew bible scholar already. Come up he's done work on this in his loss world of genesis one and lost world adam and eve another popular level treatment that i thought was really fun that i came across by a biblical scholar. Robin perry called called the biblical cosmos a pilgrims guide to the weird and wonderful world of the bible. And it's a really great introduction to the three tiered world of the bible the concept of the waters above the waters below the dragon. All these things to really fun and his daughter. If i remember correctly his daughter's a graphic designer so she did all the artwork in the book. It's really cool. And part of one of his main points. is that the view. In the cosmology of the biblical authors was also developing as the biblical canon and collection was developing. And so the way that the apostles in the new testament. They're also being informed by developments in greek and roman culture and conversations about this and so their language has those accents to it as well and jewish and christian views of cosmology developed throughout history and kept changing updating to aristoteles ian copernican revolution. And all the generations were able to still find relevance and meaning in the ancient cosmology at the bible and translate between them and in that translation effort. I think is what he's getting at exactly that. Would it be cool. If there was a carl sagan type or a neil degrasse tyson who also then translate both be the cosmologists. Yeah sure give you a tour of the cosmos but then translating these ideas into it. Yeah that'd be awesome. Yeah totally at least theologians and scholars their people doing this work to great work. It's synthetic work of like science and cosmology works of alister mcgrath. Scientists and theologian excellent work on john. Poking horn who's a physicist and Priest and theologian doing excellent work at the forefront of scientific cosmology and christian cosmology or biblical cosmology. Let's to great names to follow up. Yeah exactly yeah. Good stuff all right. The next question is from kayla in florida. He tim and john. My name is kayla. And i lived in lakeland florida. I really enjoyed this series on ancient cosmology but it does bring up a certain level of tension for me as someone who grew up in a tradition where genesis one through three was taught from a more literal perspective. Hearing about the bible's influence from other agent cosmology causes me to pause and wonder how much of it is quote unquote true. So how should this new understanding readjust my approach to these chapters. Thank you guys so much for all that you do get right to get into it. No because i'll yeah for me to yet. Even an undergrad. I had a geology class from professor. Who really wanted us to understand these as literal. Yeah yeah so a couple challenges there One is the meaning of the word literal and the other one. Is this really a new perspective. So part of what we're trying to say is that there's actually nothing new here. What's new is our synthesis of the biblical cosmology and translating it and harmonizing with modern cosmological ideas. That's the new thing what we're trying to do is recover the ancient understanding of these narratives the way the biblical author's intended them. Yeah it feels new because it hasn't been the main ways these narratives have been read in the last couple of hundred years in our cultural setting. Yes in the last couple hundred years. There is been a a large contingent of christians who looked at genesis. One and two and thought this must be like The cosmology books that are being written in our era. Yeah which are like explaining literally This happened and biliteral like in space time. You know this explosion happened and then caused this atom to form. Which then did this and then sons form like that like. Yeah literally happened in in a modern cosmology. Yeah well yes. I think we need even bigger frame to talk about it. Okay so before. Really the era. I mean this has happened in in major cosmology. Revolutions like in the copernican revolution the development of telescopes then galileo. And you know. I think actually we're on the spinning rock around the sun not vice versa. So there were those but with the advent especially of the modern sciences geology paleontology physics and so on and then certainly biology. There began to open this window of information coming in from these fields of a deep deep sense of time in history the reach way beyond what anyone had ever imagined up till that point in history christians and jews reading the bible for them the literal meaning. It was the way the world was imagined to be so the way the biblical story described history was the way it was and there was no other alternate narrative to challenge it but with the growing narrative coming out of the scientific disciplines there became this alternate narrative that was very difficult to square this deep sense of time of hundreds of thousands and millions of genesis. One does not take that into account you seven days and your there seven days and human show or do six days in.

Welcome back and i love it. We're talking today. How to reverse autoimmune disease so we begin. Would you like to tell our listeners. Your story that have never heard it before. Because it's it's it's truly remarkable so Twenty years ago. Walk us. My wife. My leg becomes week Dragging hobble home mine. Urologist says terry. This could be bad or really really bad at night. You know in bed next to jackie. I think about my zingers. The jolts of electrical face pain. That i've had for twenty years not wanting to become a burden. I secretly pray for a fatal diagnosis. It takes just three years. I end up a reclining wheelchair. I take my zander own ties average. Then sell sept. nothing helps. I let go of my future. My zingers turn on my causing jolts. Electrical face pain by ten year. Old daughter hug me triggering more pain. I'm a physician so night. After night i go to bed. I read the basic science. And i began to experiment myself and the speed of my decline slow and then i discover a study using electrical stimulation. Muscles i asked my physical therapist. Can i try that My test session hurts bad. But when it's over. I feel great and i began doing eastern to as much pain as i can tolerate and i said There's no recovery with progressive. Ms and i wonder is there more that i could do. I add meditation. I redesigned my paleo. Diet baseball. the science that. I've read and one month later. I am sitting up at my desk three months later. My zingers of twenty seven years gone and five months later. I am walking without a cane. Wow it as i said. It's a remarkable story. It is and so that's what was the catalyst for you developing the walls protocol. But do you. Do you have any suspicion or do you know as a medical doctor. What caused your. Ms what do you think is is that the very root of all of this these auto immune disorders. It seems to be epidemic. It's epidemic Because i many many root causes we know that there are sixteen different microbes that increase the risk of autumn. unity We know that if you alter your microbiome that increases the risk of autumn unity if your vitamin d is low tax increases your risk severe stress adverse childhood events so Poor diet so it's an accumulation of all these factors. Plus you know a little bit of genetic vulnerability But but most of the people with any particular gene that might increase. the risk. never develop a autoimmune problem. This complicated interaction with with all those factors that i just rattled off And do you. I have to ask you a question. That i feel is important to you. Feel that the over vaccination of our of our of our our our country specifically because we do have the the greatest schedule of vaccines of anywhere in the world. Do you feel that that that is at the root of a lot of these auto immune disorders vaccines In terms of the research that i've read has not borne that out So i can't say that that's a major factor I think there are other more important. Factors that have to do with Diet vitamin d adverse childhood events microbiome alteration for some individual f-. You know certainly. They may see or have experienced association. But the research that i've found has not proven that yet It's just a. It's something that i think about often. I just do a medical doctor with the experience that you've had and the walls whilst protocol that you've developed. I thought it was a it was a good question to ask. And i'm glad i did. And thank you for responding. So can you explain to our listeners. What the walls. Protocol protocol program is exactly well So this is really comp a comprehensive way of thinking about creating more health in your body by learning how to eat a more nutritious style than and we teach people who are budget tyrian or vegan or who are meat eaters or who are to jake eaters how to improve the quality of their diet. We teach meditation would teach how to improve your detox pathways And we also teach how to find Meaning so you're willing to do the work to make these changes and so we're talking about ways to reverse autoimmune disease. Would you say that that diet is the number one thing and how does our diet reverse it. What does it do so That is certainly a very very powerful intervention and you keep in mind. The food that we eat is critical for having the building blocks of running the chemistry that we need to run in our lives. In addition we need to have the micro the right mix of microbiomes in our bowels to help us with that chemistry because we it turns out. We can't do all of the steps. We rely on our bacteria to do some of those things that that genetically. We can't do anymore because you know Thousands of generations ago Upmeyer ancestral mothers had a random mutation so a chemical step. They couldn't do it anymore. But if the microbiome could still do that step reproductive success and in that moment the the genetic construction to do that step had exported from on central mother's dna into the microbial. Wow it's continue. I'm sorry so. I mean that's one of the reasons why it's so important to have a really diverse microbiome living here. Yeah and how do you best do that. So diet meaning lots of fruits and vegetables. Well you The there's two components one is you want to remove the trash so get rid of the processed foods. Get rid of the sugar. The high glycemic index foods So far based products eat at every place them with radical things known as non starchy vegetables. and again Because we we know we also know that ketogenic diets also be help also I think the key components is get rid of the harmful things. Yeah he at least some vegetables preferably a lot of greens. Lot of cabbage family vegetables. Mushrooms are particularly beneficial. Lots of color but then again we have sufficient protein and so we have different instructions for vegetarian and vegans and for meat eaters died is key in getting rid of the processed foods processed food night of so much a additive. Food additives.
