  Welcome back MF'ers!

We're back, and super excited to bring you another episode with one of our all time favorite guests! Mark Schofield! He's our big journalist friend who's got all the fun intel on F1, football and everything in between!

0:00 - We say hi to Mark and get things rolling with a break down of the first "half" of the season, and some of the rumors that have been put to rest in these last couple weeks of the not-so-silly-season. Williams to Estie bestie and some good ol' fashioned Ferrari bashin' to boot!

23:15 - We shift gears to the NFL and make our yearly predictions for conference leaders, super bowl teams, and the winner of the whole bag of marbles. We've got an incredibly poor track record on this thing, but who even remembers? Patty sure doesn't.

We want to thank Mark once again for spending his evening shootin' it with a couple of midwest windbags. He makes our job easy, and makes us look/sound good while doing so. A consummate professional, through and through. Be sure to check him out on SB Nation, and as always, keep those fingers crossed and elbows out!

Hey Midfielders. Schedules been crazy, but Pat and Dan sat down to give their takes on Hungary, Spa, and the grumblings of the new rule package. Is it good, is it bad? We disagree. Who's side are you on?

  Welcome back MF'ers!

Our schedule's have aligned to bring you the most mediocre, midfield, Formula 1 action you can handle! It's just like falling off a bike for us, so we're right back into things, with a quick recap of Austria, our season so far, and just who's actually on our no-talkies list. Let's begin!

13:00 - Audi is in, for now. Ferrari fumbles a Lewis podium. Double dumb energy. Can McLaren get it figured out and make their car a touch more versatile, making a run at the red cars for 2nd place? We digress.

20:40 - Same. But different. We enjoy bashing on Ferrari, so we're gonna keep doing it. They make the sport exciting on their own. Pure class. Patty enjoys the Italian Stallion's troubles at the starting line. The manufactured chaos that ensues is one of the better parts of this season.

35:49 - French bois! We talk Isack and Pierre. Ike has had the opposite approach to starting as the Young Gun, but it ends with the same chaotic mess going into turn one. So, different, but same.. see what I did there? RB2 looking like not total garbage. Noice!

50:35 - Este bestie! Poor lil cheeks need some aloe vera, cause his seat is scorching hot right now. Getting rocked by his teammate in the standings. Audi is our favorite midfield dawgs, clawing at the door of points begging to get in. We get some boldies in quick before we get outta here!

 Holy Cannoli MFer's!

We're back at it with even MORE guests! Thank goodness Dan has been able to fill the gaps during this long break, by bringing in some of our good friends from our F1 Threads crew. This week it's the "Fastest Yap" duo, here to talk race cars, play some QT, and of course be subjected to our awful jokes. Let's dive in with Paige and SK!

18:00 - Right off the bat, Dano's gotta be pickin' bones. If anybody's taking the "pointless" tag, it's the Midfield Pod, and we're ready to fight about it. As always, we get the origin stories, and learn about a crazy new gambling mechanism. Dan had a drool bucket off mic, so we didn't have to replace his carpet. We get the lowdown on "Yapper Standings", and discuss the Youth Movement in F1. Patty adds another bean to the pile he owes.

23:40 - Quuuueeeeesssstionable Trivia baby!! Lando themed this time around. The Yappers fare better than most, probably by ignoring Patrick as much as possible. As usual he bandwagons his way to a couple tallies. Patty drops his hot take on Albon yet again, and people are starting to come around.

Again a massive thank you to "The Fastest Yap" for swinging by and spending some time getting to know us and playing our silly games. Be sure to like and follow them on threads and join in on the fun! And of course, keep those fingers crossed, and elbows out!

  Welcome back MFers!

It's a 5 week break, so it's time for the Midfield Pod to step and cure your boredom! Don't worry, we brought some help. Natalie from "Girls Just Wanna F1" stopped by to do some heavy lifting for us. We rope her into a little Questionable Trivia, can she help Patrick, who knows nothing, about anything, ever? God let's hope so.

23:30 - We get to know our guest Natalie! Origin stories are our favorite here in the Midfield. With undenying-ly the BEST name in sports casting, we were hoping she'd share a little bit of her magic skills on our niche ideas. We talk new teams and regs, top teams, all the good stuff. Natalie is better at our stupid game than we are! We'll get our team to send her some beans for next time, just in case.

55:15 - Dan wrangles it back in for everyone's favorite, it's time for Questionable Trivia! Could be called, "do you know more F1 facts than a dog?". Patty's been getting closer lately, but this aint horseshoes. We're goin' Albon this round. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube! We don't count entrapment.

Thanks again for tuning in, and huge thanks to Natalie for stopping by and hanging out with us Midfielders, we massively appreciate it! As always keep your fingers crossed, and elbows out!
