This actually resonated with me a ton because it is also the exact reason I decided banking was not for me Vividly remember, it was 10:30 pm the night before a major holiday. Every single person in the office was still there, including my MDs and VPs One MD...

I sold my McLaren today. No, I’m not getting a new one. This one was harder than the Lambo. Because this one… meant more to me. I bought it after I sold my company. A reward. A symbol. A statement to myself (and to the world). That I had made it. That I was free. And for a while, it was true. I felt 10 years of striving crystallized in that moment. The carbon fiber. The absurd acceleration. The way it turned heads. Supercars gave me something when I needed it. A reminder that all the sacrifice hadn’t been for nothing. That I could bend reality, that the kid from nowhere really did it. My friend Kevin Dahlstrom says that everything you own owns a piece of you. And he’s right. Eventually, the car stopped feeling like freedom… and started feeling like weight. Not because anything was wrong with it. But because I changed. I don’t need a machine to remind me who I am anymore. I don’t need a loud engine to feel powerful. I don’t need a parked symbol of identity to feel alive. Letting go of the McLaren isn’t about minimalism. It’s not about virtue signaling. It’s about alignment. Buying it was a gift to honor the past. Selling it is a gift to honor what’s unfolding. To go all in on what’s next. To reclaim the parts of me that were still quietly performing. To free up space. Not in the garage, but in my soul. I don’t regret buying it. It served me well. And driving it for the last time today was bittersweet. I still love cars. Maybe I’ll buy another one someday, in another season. This isn’t about cars. It never was. It’s about who I’m becoming. And what I no longer need to carry with me to be free.

OTD 28 years ago "The Strike" aired, and the world learned about "Festivus." We spoke with Dan O'Keefe whose father created Festivus. Dan was Not a fan of the episode, did Not want the episode to air, and to him, Festivus brings back deep rooted trauma. Dan explains: The way people adopted it, I didn’t see that coming. You gotta understand, I’ve been saying this for a while, yeah, that was my father, he was mentally ill and a drunk, but extremely brilliant. For whatever reason he invented this weird fucking extra holiday that was celebrated at random times. It did not have a set date. It was extremely upsetting. It was like borderline child endangerment, and it was not fun. So my brothers and I had this deal: you do not talk about it outside of the house, and we just try to pretend it’s not happening. But I didn’t pitch it, I didn’t want it to go in. I hoped it would fail and be edited out, and nevertheless, the damn thing survived. The reality is far weirder. I have the CDs that were remastered from the cassette tapes my dad used to make during the annual recording of this insanity, which is mostly him screaming about internal Reader’s Digest politics in a deep slur while my brothers are crying and my mom is telling him to simmer down. That was not something I agitated for, quite the reverse. So how do I feel about it taking off? I try to block it out. This holiday was basically an encapsulation of alcoholism and mental illness into one neat little wrapper. I was as surprised as anyone. I was not a booster of this. I was surprised it got on the air. I am beyond surprised that it seems to be something that has, to some extent, legs. There are still a few people who celebrate it. Good for them. I do not personally. I did my time on that in the ’70s and ’80s. Jerry Stiller made it fun. The real thing was terrifying, obviously, and you understood why George was not in favor of it. But he made it fun, and it was Jeff Schaffer’s joke—the idea to give it a pole. That was not the case. The real symbology of it was more peculiar and not as wholesome as an aluminum pole with a good strength-to-weight ratio.

The moment that drew my attention to Freen was when you went to Cannes and there was a photo of your in a red dress which got tenth of thousands of likes—I was like, who’s this? I want to ask how you view Cannes before and after you went there. When I found out that I will be there, I felt it was such a grand event. Never imagined… like me? ME? Who am I to get to go there? And when I was there… it was really grand. And the photo time was so long that I thought…. Are we done? Didn’t know what to pose already. Was very nervous inside but had to act confident. Come…. Take photos… but inside, scan around…. How many? How long is the camera wall😅 It’s a good moment in life. Saw Queen Chompoo went so many years and looked so grand every time. I was one who was excited to see what she will wear. So when it was me, I was excited. And when was there, was a bit pressured—what dress and accessories to wear. I had to do a lot of homework. I was a bit surprised with myself. They have dresses for me to choose from. Had to pick what fitted me. But when I liked the red design… but it was red, which I have to wear to a red carpet… I was like… what to do… and decided to go for it. I’ll go with it. Not sure how red on red will be but went with it. MC: for me it was a good choice. I felt. This kid is brave. You could handle it and made it seem effortless/ not stressed. Felt you weren’t stressed out by the red carpet. I thought you handled it well. Thank you so much. It was my first time. I was really scared. The necklace. I’ll tell you about was the first time in my life that I went to choose it all by myself. Had to pick accessories worth many tenth of millions alone. Had to go through 3-4 doors with massive guards and there was one guard with me. They went do you like this, no? Next. No? Next. Was not able to put on the dress and tried… had to imagined it. I think that room had accessories worth tenths of billions. All could do was put it against my neck and imagined it with the dress I picked. Was difficult but I think I got a perfect total look. MC: I’m also interested to know which part you like the most about Cannes aside from the red carpet. There were so many eventful stuff. First I missed my flight! Instead of two stops/transfer I had to take four or five. …. …. Anyway that’s fine. My team was good and professional—the manager, makeup, hair. We had to deal with the situation but got through it while still had good humor about it. MC: what thought about hotel Martinez iconic stairs. Met so many people/celebrities. It was like a check in spot for everyone. After you finished getting ready, had to take photos there. It was another memorable moment. Not everyone can be there. Overall, glad I experienced getting ready there and went to the red carpet.
