Summary
When you go to a Bugatti dinner, 90% of the conversations you have with the other people there are simply stories. And I realized something which is really important, because people like me have been to a lot of high-level events, high level dinners, sat with a bunch of rich people. But when you go at a dinner, it's interesting because you know everybody there is extremely rich, but they're all from different backgrounds. And they have a very unique life. Of course, if you work for Bugatti, you have to go through a process to actually get the car, but one of those things is test driving. You have to prove you're competent. And then in the end, what's going on? I may as well have been Ed Sheeran up in this club. It was black, it was black. I was standing there completely out of place with a sex party in Cannes, and I'm standing in front of a club where everyone in there probably had a gun. I don't know what I'm up to, but it's not a good one, is it? And then I see a door on the corner, and it's 1% appealing to a 1%er. I do not find this sexually arousing. I'm not getting this sexually attractive in any regard, I'm getting drunk and I want to get out here in one piece. This is weird, yay, nah nah, I've been through the transistria and I m not getting all the crazy to get all the shit I want. I've had like that I want in here in a little bit here in this episode. - Tom Deloitte, I m talking about this. - Tom Pizz nah. - I ve been drinking a lot and I ve had like 4 or five or six drinks and I don t want to fuck all the things I want, so I m getting out here to get a little crazy to fuck yay nah yay yay. - This is not getting it all out here, I just want to do this in a way. - I m just to get it out here. - And I m drinking and get it all in a bit. - and I can t get enough of it. - - and you re not getting any more than that? - Tom is getting a good night out here? - And you re getting a head start on getting it? - and it s not even close?

Right, I was recently, so I'm in the midst of purchasing a Bugatti.
00:00:40.100
I was driving my Ferrari 812 Superfast from London back through Germany, and I saw the
00:00:48.600
Bugatti sign, and I wanted to go in there to look at them, and they wouldn't let me in
00:00:52.360
because there's too many shitmunchers who come and pretend they want to buy Bugattis.
00:00:56.820
Shitmunchers come and go, oh, I want to buy a Bugatti, and really they're just wasting
00:00:59.280
everyone's time, and they don't really actually want to buy anything, so that annoyed me.
00:01:02.240
They thought I was a shitmuncher, so I was like, I'm not a shitmuncher.
00:01:04.540
I'm fucking rich, and I convinced them I was a G in all the cars I have, blah, blah, blah,
00:01:09.280
and then they finally put me down with someone who's important, which was the head of regional
00:01:12.880
sales for Bugatti in Europe, blah, blah, blah, accidentally ended up buying a Bugatti, so
00:01:17.500
it's a process, and you have to go through a bunch of crap to actually get the car, but
00:01:27.460
I'm sure you can get away with it if you're like an Arab sheikh or a billionaire oligarch,
00:01:31.040
but people like me, if we want to order one, we have to prove we can drive a Chiron.
00:01:34.500
So I went, and in between the driving test days, there's these dinners at night, and you're
00:01:41.320
sitting around with all the other Bugatti owners, and I realized something, which is
00:01:44.620
really, really important, because people, I mean, I've been to a lot of high-level events,
00:01:48.760
a lot of high-level dinners, sat with a lot of rich people, blah, blah, blah, but when
00:01:52.340
you go to a Bugatti dinner, it's interesting because you know everybody there is extremely rich,
00:01:57.600
You have some people who are just daddy's money, some people who have made their own
00:02:00.100
money in real estate, some people who have made their own money doing X, Y, Z, then you
00:02:03.640
have the Bugatti guys themselves who are trying to sell cars and work for the brand, and they
00:02:10.160
Of course, if you work for Bugatti, you have a very unique life.
00:02:13.040
And I realized that 90% of the conversations that were taking place at this dinner were simply
00:02:19.720
stories. So the guy who sold the Bugattis was telling stories of the time he was selling
00:02:26.740
a Bugatti in Bahrain, and the Sheikh thought it would be funny to lock him in his tiger's
00:02:32.960
cage, for example. The other guy who was buying a car along with me was an older guy, and he
00:02:38.180
was telling the story of the time he went into East Germany during communism in the 70s.
00:02:43.200
And then I'm telling my stories, like you've seen on Tate's speech of getting robbed in
00:02:46.620
Jamaica. He pulls up at this club, the best club in Jamaica, blah, blah, blah, blah. We
00:02:51.560
go in there. I am mixed race. I may as well have been Ed Sheeran up in this motherfucker.
00:02:57.140
It was black. I'm not being racist. It was black. The music was black. The lights were
00:03:04.480
low. You couldn't see nobody's face. It was just black. Everyone in there probably had
00:03:09.260
a gun. I'm standing there completely out of place.
00:03:12.720
Well, I'm going to tell you about the time I went to a sex party in Cannes in France,
00:03:17.060
in the French Riviera. Knowing what I know now, what basically happened is I got selected
00:03:21.040
by a taxi driver to be one of the bulls, like one of the big bad boy who fuck all the women.
00:03:26.420
That's what I've been selected to do. So we're sitting there, and as the couples would come
00:03:30.580
in, like a man would walk in with his wife, I thought he was introducing himself to people,
00:03:34.400
but no, he was introducing his wife to people. It clocked. I said, ah, okay, I see what's
00:03:40.600
going on. And then in the corner, there was a door, and up the door, the door to depravity,
00:03:45.540
there was bedrooms. None of this is 1% appealing to me. I do not find this sexually attractive
00:03:50.600
or arousing in any regard. I just want to get out here in one piece. This is weird. This
00:03:54.400
is some Hills Have Eyes shit. So we're sitting there. I've had like four or five drinks by
00:03:57.780
now, and the more I drink, the less I want to fuck. I'm not getting drunk and going, yay.
00:04:01.020
I'm getting drunk and thinking, nah. You're the transnistria, all the crazy things I've
00:04:07.160
been through. The problem is on that overnight train, I nearly got robbed. That train is
00:04:10.180
completely mafia run. So we're like, how the fuck do we get out? All the planes are booked
00:04:13.560
for another week. We don't want to take the train again because of what happened the first
00:04:16.040
time. It's a war zone. It's a fucking war. We're chilling. I see someone out the side of
00:04:19.700
the car, blacked out, head to toe black. Get out of the car, get out of the car. I'm interested
00:04:24.700
to look at each other like, for fuck's sake. Like, we should have known better. Shit's about
00:04:28.560
to go now. We just got the car with our hands up. They got guns pointed out. So we're like,
00:04:31.960
yeah, well, who the fuck are you? Like, this is more than just a routine robbery. They
00:04:36.040
even had our Mr. Fucking Rally Driver. And it turns out that at the highest echelons of
00:04:42.020
society, you will always be liked and you'll always be able to fit in if you have an interesting
00:04:46.120
story and if you can tell it well. The thing is about most people is most people don't have
00:04:50.840
interesting stories. And even if they do have a story, which could be interesting, they
00:04:54.180
can't tell it. They're not very good at storytelling in general. So,
00:04:58.560
they can't portray the emotions involved. They can't portray the fear or the humor or
00:05:02.520
whatever else. But that was my observation. I kind of always knew this to be true. But
00:05:07.460
I sat there and after three hours of dinner, I realized all we did was basically take turn
00:05:11.160
telling cool stories. And this is what rich people, cool people, interesting people who
00:05:15.180
live interesting lives do. They have stories to tell. And inside of the war room, which is
00:05:20.080
my private network, I was speaking to the war room guys and said, okay, tell me your best
00:05:24.680
story. Not only to see what their story is, but also to see how they tell it. And it turns
00:05:30.560
out that if you're ever looking to reach the higher echelons of life, if you're ever looking
00:05:33.960
to be around very important people, if you ever want to feel respected amongst the most
00:05:38.500
financially affluent individuals in the world, you need to not only be able to listen, of course,
00:05:45.980
and have some kind of reasonable input to an insane story about being locked in a tiger's
00:05:51.780
cage while trying to sell one of the Bahrainian princes of Bugatti. You also need to have a story
00:05:56.820
which rivals that. So, if you're sitting here watching this, my question is, what is your best
00:06:01.000
story? And I'm actually interested in hearing your best story. So, what you can do is, there's an email
00:06:08.080
address below. I want you to tell it on video. I don't want you to type it out to me. Make a video.
00:06:14.000
Tell me your best story and email it to me. And I'm going to watch every single one of these and
00:06:18.380
I'm going to give you a score out of 10. Consider this me doing some philanthropic work. I'm going
00:06:22.620
to give you a score out of 10 to let you know how good your storytelling is. My storytelling is
00:06:26.440
obviously fantastic. That's why you watch this channel. My stories are obviously fantastic. I've
00:06:30.160
lived a very interesting life. But most of you people have boring lives and you can't tell stories.
00:06:34.220
But if you want to test yourself, just in case you ever believe you're going to be in the higher
00:06:37.180
echelons of society in future and you're going to need to be able to break out your story to
00:06:40.540
entertain a table full of multi-millionaires. Because that's what you're doing. When you get
00:06:44.860
your story out, you're entertaining a table of multi-millionaires who live extremely exciting
00:06:48.620
lives. If you want your story tested, then make a video, email it to the email address below,
