Take a drink every time Simon says "quarter horse" 🐴🍺🥃😵 Take two drinks when he says "quarter house" 🤣🤣🤣
-
you said quarter house alot haha
-
For anyone wondering: the term Quarterhorse comes from the breed of horse specifically bred to race a quarter mile. They have explosive speed, and are actually faster in the quarter mile sprint than the more well-known distance running Thoroughbred, famous for their mile+ races like the Kentucky Derby. Naming something after a Quarterhorse implies it can achieve extreme speed, extremely quickly. I’m a horse nerd, I had to say it. Where he got Quarterhouse, I know not. But it made me want a steak.

The SR71 was made in the 60s but it still looks like it's from the future.
-
Ah, the famous quarter house. The single person's dream.
-
Since they are in Atlanta, I say we call them the "Possum Works". A fitting term for us Southern Boy's down here!😆😆😆
-
One man’s horse is clearly another man’s house
-
I would love to watch the bloopers reel and see EXACTLY the moment when Simon just like, "F*ck it! I said what I said!"
-
THIS IS THE WAY! He said it he said the thing from the other thing
-
I really am a fan of house racing
-
Nice to see a shout for Alex Hollings and Sandboxx News. Award winning military journalism.
-
love seeing Alex as a reference he's a good journalist and him and his team at sandbox do good getting info.

The Quarterhorse Mk 2 (at 14:51) looks amazingly similar to the Lockheed D-21 drone; which was designed to be carried and launched on the back of an SR-71.
-
The Pratt & Whitney J-58 in the SR-71 was a combined-cycle engine. The JP-7 fuel was formulated to NOT ignite easily partly because of the high temperature inside the tanks but also that it could be used as hydraulic fluid (to keep the hydraulic system cool enough to work) and as coolant for the skin. Pilots claimed that there was still throttle left when flying at the official speed limit of Mach 3.2. Bits of the titanium skin would be getting soft at Mach 3.4. Not bad for 1958 tech.
-
Love the Sandbox News shout out! Big fan of Alex, too. Great researcher!
-
If he says quarterHOUSE one more time I swear to god.

QUARTER HOUSE

For anyone not from the US, bear in mind driving coast to coast in the US takes 35-45 hours. 45 min is crazy.
