An Ode to the Drive

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Why women can't understand a man's desireto go for a drive. You see,
women can't fathom this's your pleasure ofa cruise because they don't interface with
vehicles on a subconscious level. Whena man pilots a machine, he becomes
it. His subconscious awareness exits firstperson view, and he gets a third

(00:23):
person perspective on the entire vehicle.That's why they call it your third eye.
It opens the first time you ignitethe combustion engine and control something bigger
than yourself. When women do it, they don't have that connection. They're
just consciously turning the wheel, pressingthe pedals, and pushing buttons. They

(00:45):
have to actively think about everything they'redoing with latency. It's why they get
increasingly stressed the longer they're on theroad. God gave men the ability to
interface with vehicles, just like hegave women the ability to you in every
good moment with a man that couldhave been had by opening their mouths.

(01:06):
It makes perfect sense that women andEuropeans can't understand the value of a good
drive. It's like being a horseroaming the open concrete planes of the greatest
expanse of interconnected infrastructure. In humanhistory. The cheeky crews, the highway
zoom, the interstate journey, andthe coveted night drive are core elements of
being a man. You watch theworld through a montage of screens displayed on

(01:30):
your windshield. You occupy a stateof absolute seclusion while nestled amongst the greatest
intersection of human activity your community hasto offer. You experience music in a
way no one in human history couldhave done, even on a level of
versatility and ease not possible only twentyyears ago. It surrounds you this car

(01:53):
with perfect clarity and impact, becomingthe soundtrack of your existence as you travel
at speeds that ancient kings and holyprofits couldn't have even fathomed. As civilization
dwindles to a slumble. As civilizationdwindles into a slumbering era of decline,

(02:13):
the night drive increasingly becomes an expressionof abundance. It is to burn gasoline
simply for the sake of experimenting andexperiencing what a tiny sliver of the human
experience has been privileged to know.Raw speed and power. Control between your
fingertips and your toes, the windbeckoning at your command, blustering at the

(02:37):
palm of your hands at the exactforce you choose, an entirely different universe,
ready to receive your existence near teleportation, all within a few hours of
time. A car is the perfectmidway between the rawest technological potential of experience
the fighter jet, and the ubiquityof availability within the human condition or walking.

(03:00):
To drive a car is to acknowledgethat you are alive in the most
viscerally abundant manner possible, by comingcloser to death than you do in nearly
any other point in your life.To drive is to live. To drive
is to touch greatness, even whenoccupying the lowest dregs of life. To
drive is to embrace the consequences andresponsibilities of power as you enter the great

(03:23):
asphalt arena. When I am driving, I'm a real human being and a
real hero. I don't eat,I don't sleep. I do nothing but
think of the experience. And thisexperience of the drive is what brings men
alive. Mm mmm m
