Alex was pleasantly surprised by the hybrids in the test at IMS, but there are still some issues to work through, plus it's race week, not Tim's -no one cares about that one- but Barber. All that, plus Alex had another squirrel in his place, and apparently Brunner is a Houdini-Doodle, or Houdoodle, if you will.

Deepu Sondhe moved to Indiana in the 1970s and immediately fell in love with the Indy 500 and Rick Mears. Then he tells us all about the 429 Golf Outing at IMS, supporting Hinch's Stop & Go Foundation.

Alex tries the Saltine challenge on a whim, then the guys talk about their Easters. Hinch surprised his mom, Tim became a Godfather, and Alex got annoyed with Tim. Plus, there's testing at IMS this week, and the weather may actually be similar to race day, plus they dive into the latest in the F1 world.

We asked you guys for questions and man did you deliver. This week we dive into such pressing issues as: how would you spend time with your pet if they became human for a day? What's your favorite race car? And why Tim?

The guys debrief the 50th running of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Alex went in feeling confident, but the weekend didn't live up to his hopes. Plus, there was an F1 race, Robbie Wickens had a hell of a weekend, and Tim is tired.

The guys keep losing -or laundering- their AirPods. Drivers need to learn to trust their teams when they're on the track. Hinch had a good time at Suzuka, even though the race was boring, and Long Beach was coming up. So, don't forget to tune in. On multiple TVs. And your neighbor's TVs.
