00:03:35.000Nice! Nice! That might be the best gift.
00:03:38.000Let's have a Bali cigarette. Bali cigarette?
00:03:40.000Yeah, some super hot yoga chick in Bali who's obsessed with me and she's like 10 out of 10 and she's blonde and she's sexy and lives in Bali and says, Andrew, the way to escape the Matrix is to come live in Bali with me in my treehouse and impregnate me repeatedly.
00:03:54.000I'm like, well, I can't. I'm stuck inside the Matrix now.
00:03:57.000She's like, yeah, but you don't need the Lambos and the Bugattis and the money.
00:03:59.000You can just come here and impregnate me in my Balinese treehouse.
00:04:03.000You know, she's got millions of followers, and everyone's like, inboxing her, saying, I love you!
00:04:06.000But really, she ignores them all, because she's as possessed as me.
00:04:08.000Like every other female on the planet.
00:06:04.000So I can't become a fucking loser who has nicotine gum.
00:06:07.000So I'll end up chewing 500 pieces of nicotine gum a day.
00:06:11.000A cigar or a cigarette is a delivery vehicle which can slow me down.
00:06:15.000I can only smoke the cigar as fast as it can be smoked.
00:06:18.000So God invented the cigar to give me nicotine at a pace in which my blood will not turn to solid nicotine.
00:06:23.000If I start chewing nicotine gum, my blood will coagulate and it will thicken up with pure nicotine and it will stop moving through my veins and I'll become the man of rock.
00:06:33.000I won't die, but then what will happen is Once I'm made of pure rock, my enemies will try to arrest me, and they won't be able to, because they're going to try to put me into something I haven't done.
00:06:42.000I want them to move my arms, put my hands in handcuffs, so then they're going to shoot me.
00:07:20.000150, whatever. But because I'm the kind of person who has a constant quest for knowledge, because I'm not a dork like you people, I have to know the answers to everything.
00:07:30.000When I see something, if I see a puzzle, I cannot remain perplexed and I cannot just take my mind away from it and permanently distract myself with Pornhub like a loser.
00:07:38.000I need to know the answer all of the time, which is my secret for unlimited success and has propelled me to the absolute highest echelons of masculine achievement.
00:07:47.000And when I bought my RS7 ABT with 1,000 horsepower, it made me, it reminded me of my M5. Which decaw I've taken.
00:07:54.000900 horsepower. And I was comparing how heavy the steering was.
00:07:57.000Because the car feels a little bit heavy even though it is an absolute animal.
00:08:01.000And then I thought, I wonder if an M3 feels a little bit lighter.
00:08:05.000Driving this RS7... It reminds me of my M5, obviously.
00:08:11.000But then it makes me wonder. Like, what's...
00:09:09.000I've done everything. You people are so fucking pathetic that you look forward to holidays.
00:09:17.000I've had people tell me what they would do if they had my money and influence, and all they're doing is explaining to me why they will never have my money or influence.
00:09:25.000Bro, if I was just you, I'd just go to Thailand!
00:09:35.000If that can entertain you, there is absolutely no question in my mind as to why you're a fuck-up.
00:09:41.000Men like me, we search for problems and solutions, and our brain is inquisitive.
00:09:47.000And my inquisitive brain wants to understand how the M3 feels to steer.
00:09:50.000All because I bought the Audi RS7. And I only bought that because I wanted to compare it to my M5. And I only bought that because I wanted to compare it to my S6 and the M8. It's the chain reaction.
00:12:38.000And the S63 AMG is my fourth favorite.
00:12:40.000Now the question is, do I buy a C63 AMG, the new one, with the two-liter engine, four-cylinder, which is trash, but it's hybrid, and give it a chance, even though I'm sure I'm going to be disappointed, because then I'm going to have a V8 like an AMG should.
00:12:53.000And do I spend all that money just to definitely put it in last place?
00:14:39.000Firstly, the problem with running a car is that other men have been in that car, so it feels a bit gay.
00:14:49.000True or false? Other men have been there.
00:14:52.000So if I want to test the steering on an M3, the only way to do it is to buy one.
00:14:57.000Okay, so why do you have carbon on it?
00:14:59.000Who wants you to put carbon in the body?
00:15:02.000Well, I broke it. So you have to put that on there to test it?
00:15:05.000Yeah, but now the problem is, I mean, the M3 is a very nice car, and it's got carbon, and it's a great car.
00:15:10.000But for me to pick it, I now have to go outside and say no to an SF9, and then say no to another SF9. And then say no to a 765.
00:15:19.000And then say no to a GT3 RS. And then say no to an MC20. Say no to the RS7ABT. Like, there's a lot of no's I have to get through before I pick the M3. Anyway, much beacons convenience that he walked into.
00:15:35.000To quote your esteemed philosopher, Missy Elliott, I don't want to fend to see how the back doors open up.
00:16:55.000So it's like the average person, 166 times 0.4, if the average person spent 60 quid, $60, the average guy who went out and spent $60 on groceries, you wouldn't say he's crazy.
00:17:08.000So I spent $60 on a fucking M3! Yeah, if he found a pair of sneakers, hear me out.
00:17:14.000And they were comfortable. He wanted to try the different colors, and he bought an extra pair of sneakers for 60 bucks, and then two pairs of sneakers instead of one.
00:17:20.000You're like, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, right.
00:17:22.000The average of 60 bucks is like, cool, but if I spend the same percentage income on a car, I'm crazy.
00:17:32.000What I mean? What you're doing is, if you've got groceries at home, you have everything you want, and then you've bought all the groceries together in a different color just to see if they taste the same, even though you're not going to use them.
00:17:42.000That's very different than spending the $60 you need for a car.
