Transcript
Well, since gas prices are so high, I decided to buy myself a Tesla. Now let's get my wife's reaction. What? Come check it out. Why did you get a Tesla? You literally have a truck. A nice truck. Just thinking So are you, like, going for a no boy or, like, tree hugger? This thing has AI no I can talk to them. Croc, what's up, dude? Hey, dude. Just hanging out. Ready to chat or help with whatever. Yeah. So, like, you rank to a man while you drive. That's that's cool. The main reason I got this is because gas prices are so high right now. It cost me $200 to build that truck. I mean, I I get it, but like I didn't know gas prices would take away your manhood. What should I say to my wife if she's telling me buying a Tesla takes away my rank card? Laugh it off and say, honey, real men pioneer the future. My man card's now electric. Quiet power, endless range, and I still open your doors.
