Tim and Louis discuss ignoring economic pain like gas prices since they can't control it, then Tim tells the story of Louis giving him a financial responsibility lecture the night before buying a Bentley Flying Spur despite having just gotten a Jeep.
- Tim tries not to pay attention to gas prices because it would drive him crazy.
- He argues that worrying about gas prices doesn't make sense if you can't affect them anyway.
- Louis tells the story of Tim saying he'd buy a Jeep, then showing up two hours later in a Bentley.
- Tim explains he hadn't slept in 48 hours from Australia jet lag when he bought the car.
- He had given Louis a speech the night before about financial responsibility and saving money for the future.
- Tim bought a Bentley the day after that speech, losing thirty thousand immediately on depreciation.
- Tim argues the car has decent resale value because someone will always want it.
- Louis says Tim would need a driver for the Bentley rather than drive it himself.
