Author: Party Mode June 23, 2026 Duration: 33:11
It's race week! Which is great news for everyone, unless you happen to drive for or work for Aston Martin. Will this nightmare end? Or have they written off 2026 already? Will Alonso walk? Plus, espressos at 11pm, Toy Story 5 chat and Matt's is getting a special massage. For Father's Day. It's not like that. We'd also like to welcome our new Pulp from the Paddock sponsor AS Colour. These guys pride themselves on producing high-quality, functional blank apparel that stands the test of time. Established in 2005 in Auckland, New Zealand, AS Colour has grown from humble beginnings to now operate thirty-one retail locations and six distribution facilities across Europe, United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
