And do you know what? I don't ever listen to what I say or watch what I record. I don't watch my own shows. Good for you. You probably don't either, do you? I don't. No. It's good for the soul. Once it's done, it's buried. Exactly. But I think I came to see you... about a month before I received a phone call saying, do you want to do this television show called Top Gear?

And I think it was then. And I think at that point, I'd been fielding a lot of questions about, well, why would you follow Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear? And I'd gone, no one would do that. They'd be an idiot to do that. And then I looked at the sort of monthly payments I needed to live my life. And I got offered a bit of not much money, but some money. I thought, I'll give it a go.

But most importantly, I thought the 17-year-old me if he saw me say no to this job would punch me in the face. Right. Because it's my dream job. Right. And I know that Top Gear is a weird thing in the US because I think many US people are aware of it, that it exists, but they've never really seen it because it never was put on a big network here.

Yeah. I mean, whether my era of Top Gear will be considered great, I don't know. I had lots of fun making it. But following in Jeremy's footsteps was, on reflection, a decision I made the wrong call. I shouldn't have done it. Really? Yeah. I had a great time. But you try following him in the UK.

Yeah. I didn't realize how deep rooted it was. I still get hate mail now. I still get hate mail now. Yeah.

Yeah. And I think we made some good films. And I love what I did. But even if we made a good film, it was always shit because it wasn't Jeremy.

And I've just seen what you've arrived in as well. And I thoroughly approve of your taste in motor vehicles. Am I allowed to say what it is or not?

I think I'm often asked, if you lived in America, what car would you drive? And it would always be a Raptor. It comes under the heading of always drink the local beer. When you go to a city, don't order a Heineken or a Bud. Drink the local beer. And the F-150 Raptor is your local beer.
