Two billionaires, Billy and Eric, drive from California to Chicago for Christmas. They rely on a GPS but also consult a map. Eric reads the map upside down, leading them the wrong way. They eventually fix a flat tire caused by hitting a porcupine. Despite the mishaps, they arrive in Chicago and exchange gifts. Billy learns patience and the value of friendship. This is a story of two men, billionaires who were very unique individuals. It was the day before Christmas. Billy lived in California while Eric lived in Montana. Every year these best friends would drive all the way to Chicago to meet the rest of their single buddies to spend Christmas together there. T'was the night before Christmas. Eric and Billy meet up in California and are now heading to Chicago. Alright buddies, buckle up! Christmas time! Let's do this. I've been waiting for this adventure for a long time. Did you get the set? Check. We've got chips, cookies, and a whole bag of gummy bears. Perfect. And the playlist? Oh yeah. I've created the ultimate road trip playlist. Get ready for some serious gospel music. Awesome! But first, we need to figure out where we're going. Let's consult the map. Map? Who needs a map when we've got a GPS? Well, just in case technology fails us, it's always good to have a backup plan. Fine, fine. Let's see. Wait. Is this even the right side up? I can never figure these things out. Keep it here, Map Master. Let me take a look. Hmm. According to my expert analysis, we go left at the next intersection. Are you sure? I thought it was the right turn. I'm positive. Left it is. Then turn left and drive a while. Hey, Eric. Weren't we supposed to be passing a big lake by now? Billy, we've passed 50 lakes by now. Oh. Then we must have taken the wrong turn. A wrong turn? No way. Our impeccable navigational skills would never allow that. Well, our impeccable navigational skills just led us to a field full of cows. Eric, where are you getting these directions from? You must be hearing voices inside your head. Billy, there is absolutely nothing inside my head. Well, we can't disappoint the cows now, can we? Let's turn around and figure out where to go. After looking at the map, they gain direction and head towards Chicago once again. You know, Eric, I think we should take a look at the map. We're getting nowhere fast. We're fine, Billy. Just let me drive. Eric then grabs the map. Eric, these words on this map are upside down. Eric flips the map over. Oh. I know why we aren't going on the right direction now. Really, Eric? You mean to tell me the whole time you've been reading this map upside down? Well, at least I was reading it. I can't even believe it. All right, let's just read the map and keep going or we'll never make it to Chicago. I'm sorry, Billy. Will you forgive me? Yes, Eric. Don't worry about it. After three more hours of their voyage, Eric suddenly screws up a hole. Ah! A zip line! What happened? Yes! Score! Eric, what did you just do? Do we have a flat tire? Oh, no! We do have a flat tire! And how do we have a flat tire? Well, there was this porcupine in the road. Well, off the road. And I just couldn't help myself, so I swerved a little bit and crushed that thing! Ten whole points for me, and you still have zero! Eric, are you kidding me? Have you always been this way, or did you take lessons? Well, let me think. Never mind, Eric. Let's just get this tire fixed and head to Chicago. What do you say? That sounds great! Eric and Billy begin changing the tire. Eric, can you grab me the four-way real quick? Of course, Billy! Eric, that's a screwdriver. Do you think we need a screwdriver for this? Never mind. Okay, push the jack up a little bit more. Billy, I'm sorry for what I did. I should have been more worried about driving and scoring more points than you, which I am winning, by the way, by ten points now. Yes, I forgive you, Eric. Let's just get to Chicago. And no more playing games, okay? Agreed. Eric and Billy once again make their way down the road with a new tire. Eric and Billy finally make it to their friend's house in Chicago, right in time for Christmas Day. Billy and Eric begin to exchange their gifts they bought for each other. Billy, what did you give me, Billy? What is it? Just open it and find out, Eric. Eric opens his present. Wow! My very own $145! This is amazing! Thank you so much, Billy! You're welcome, Eric. I know it wasn't a pleasant experience on our way here, but I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else. Well, Eric, what did you get me? Oh, yes. It's right here. Here you go. It's a four-way lug wrench. Wow! You got me a four-way lug wrench? You got it! I figured since you like using it so much on Christmas, I'd get you a brand new one. Well, that was very kind of you, Eric. Thank you very much. I really love it. Although Billy and Eric had a rough experience, they ultimately enjoyed their time celebrating Christmas Day with their friends in Chicago. The moral of the story is that although Billy had to endure Eric's mistakes, Billy learned the value of patience and good friendship. Oh, shit!
