And it goes like this. Now that's the name. That's the noise you make after the simultaneous sip. If you're making a noise that sounds like "H," that's the wrong noise and you've confused your memes, so don't do that. Only the people on the internet even understand what that comment meant, and you're laughing so hard now. And the rest of you are like, "What? Why is everybody laughing? Why is that…

much everybody who saw the video said, "What's wrong with his eyes? He looks so wasted or wired on something. That doesn't look good. That looks very bad." Well, how bad was it? I think it was around the same time he got a DUI in New York. So he gets a DUI, and he was such a dumbass that the cop who stopped him the first time simply asked him to get a ride home, and he agreed. And then he just started driving again. The cops saw him a little bit later and arrested him. And he was like, "All right." I mean, you dumbass. I literally gave you a break, which you probably shouldn't have done, but he gave him a break and then he busted him. Or he might have refused it, I don't know. But anyway, he gets arrested for a DUI.

Here's the interesting part about that. He was driving a BMW SUV, same vehicle I drive. Oh, we celebrities pretty much do the same cars. But if he had been driving a Tesla, a self-driving Tesla, would this problem have happened? In other words, would there have been any reason to pull him over in the first place? Because the car would have been driving perfectly. Police would have had no reason to have any suspicion at all, and he probably would have driven all the way home and into his driveway.

Now it's not legal. Let me be clear. It is not legal to be drunk behind the wheel of a self-driving car. Just to be very clear, don't do that. That's very illegal. But it would have also been relatively very safe, I assume. I mean, it needs to be studied, but I'm going to assume that that's a lot safer than driving drunk.

But wait, there's more. Do you remember that the Teslas were named using the convention that Musk was going to use the letters in the word "sexy"? So there's a Model S, there's an X, there's a Y. There must be an E, right? So that he was intentionally spelling "sexy" with the models of his cars. So here's the punchline that I took way too long to get

to. There is some chance that if Justin Timberlake had a Tesla, sexy would be bringing him back. Yes. Yes. I delivered it. Wow. Sexy would bring him back. That's right. You can try to retell that joke at home and it'll be just as flat as when I tried it. Way too much setup. But it's still, I think, a good payoff. I think it was worth your time. Sexy is bringing him back. Speaking of drinking, I s…
