Watch Justin Sylvester Hilariously Live Out His Fast & Furious Fantasy in a Porsche

Watch Justin Sylvester Hilariously Live Out His Fast & Furious Fantasy in a Porsche

  • E! News co-host Justin Sylvester was off to the races at the Los Angeles Porsche Experience Center ahead of the F9 premiere on June 25. Watch the hilarious Daily Pop clip.
  • Watch: “Fast & Furious” Realness at Porsche Center Experience!

    Zero to sixty! 

    E! News’ Daily Pop co-host Justin Sylvester hilariously hit the race track to get behind the wheel of real Fast & Furious luxury vehicles ahead of the highly-anticipated F9 premiere on Friday, June 25. As Fast & Furious fans know, it’s all about the cars

    With F9 already shattering box office records, Justin just had to test out what it really would be like to join the Fast family. “This is awesome,” Justin gushed while at the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles on the June 23 episode of DP. Justin was paired with a driving instructor to navigate the race track behind the wheel of a bright blue Carerra S “big daddy” sports car.  

    Justin proved to have a need for speed on the full racing course, and he even later joked that he stayed “an extra two hours” enjoying himself during the once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

    At least Justin had no issues fitting into the Porsche alongside his instructor, like F9 star Helen Mirren did while filming.

    “Both Vin [Diesel] and I had great difficulty getting in, and then even more difficulty trying to get out, especially Vin because he’s really big,” Helen joked on E! News’ Daily Pop on June 3. “It was very funny.”

    This Fantasy Football Loser's Story of Spending 24 Hours at the Waffle House Is a Total Touchdown

    This Fantasy Football Loser's Story of Spending 24 Hours at the Waffle House Is a Total Touchdown

  • Lee Sanderlin documented his experience at a Mississippi waffle house after he finished last in his fantasy football league. See why this bet is going viral and captivating Twitter users.
  • Losing has never tasted so good!

    When Lee Sanderlin agreed to participate in a fantasy football league, he didn’t exactly plan on coming in last place. But once the results were in, the 25-year-old had to face the consequences.

    “As punishment, I spend 24 hours in a Waffle House,” he shared on Twitter. “Every waffle I eat shaves an hour off the clock. It’s 4:07 Central.” Little did Lee know that his journey in Brandon, Mississippi would become an Internet obsession.

    Tweet by tweet, Lee took thousands of followers on an unforgettable ride as he tried to enjoy waffle after waffle. From Survivor‘s “Eye of the Tiger” to the Eagles‘ “Hotel California,” Lee certainly couldn’t complain about the music played in the restaurant. But after three hours into his challenge, only 4.75 waffles had been eaten.

    “Per my league commissioner, I am allowed to sit in the parking lot and also if I puke it won’t count against me. This won’t recalibrate the strategy tho,” he shared. “Found that extra something and polished off waffle 5. That’s 5 hours shaved off and an incredible amount of agony for my intestines. 16 hours to go.”

    While it’s best to savor the entire Twitter thread piece by piece, we’d like to warn you that coffee and a “quick little trip to the bushes outside” was in order around hour six.

    So, who’s ready for a spoiler alert? Drumroll please…

    After 15 hours and nine waffles, Lee’s fantasy football punishment was complete. “The sun is rising, it’s a new day and I’m never eating waffles again,” he declared on June 18. “S/o to the staff for letting me hang out on a slow night (I tipped them well don’t worry). This was horrible and I recommend no one ever do this. And we’re out.”

    But perhaps this story isn’t over just yet. As an investigative journalist at the Clarion Ledger, perhaps Lee is preparing to write his own tale.

    For now, the lesson is clear: Be careful which football studs you pick in your fantasy league. If you don’t choose wisely, things can get pretty sticky—and we’re not talking about the syrup on your waffles.
