in question shows Blevins at a car show, reclined in his half a million dollar supercar and wearing a Union Jack shirt under a pale turquoise suit. He’s approached by the cameraman, a car enthusiast, who asks what he does for a living. The only thing more questionable than his outfit? His response.
"I race cars, play golf and fondle big-breasted women. But I take weekends and major holidays off," Blevins crassly joked.

Blevins’ remark appears to be a misquote of a line in the 1981 romcom "Arthur," which was originally spoken by the movie’s eponymous dirtbag protagonist as "I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women."
