• Matthew McConaughey | The Sexy Practicality of a Texan Truck

  As the youngest brother in a family of storytellers, Matthew McConaughey had to hone his storytelling craft in order to hold his own at the dinner table. He regales Jim with stories of the role of driving in his life: an ill-advised high school trade of his pick-up truck for a sports car; a motorcycle trip through Europe on borrowed bikes; and the origin of the first three words he ever delivered on screen, uttered from a 1970 Chevelle.
