at the airport that was used at the time. in the'80s this thing was a absolute. piece of and in the back seat it. looked like someone had butchered an. animal and it was in auu opal which I. think they made they made like two of. them and then they said this is more of. a I don't know what this is it might be. a clock but it's not a car but I took. you to a wedding in the valley and I. remembered picking you up and driving it. was. like and we had to go over the 405. freeway and there's a big hill you have.
to climb and I remember thinking I'm not. sure it's going to go over but Lisa I'll. never forget when I picked her up in the. car she went oh oh. okay this is you know bunch of years. before friends you were doing the oh yes. well oh oh oh look back look in the back. seat oh well that could be blood I don't. know and um it was really funny then I. finally.
was doing okay work you know and then I. finally and then I had a my second car. was a 73 Plymouth Valiant but then. finally I said I'm going to buy a new. car and I I told you and I called you. and I said I'm coming over I'm coming. over baby I bought a new car and I want. you to see it and I came over and I I. bought a brand new Ford tourist oh my. God no you were so excited you no it's a. GTO right not a GTO what's it called sat. show super high output oh okay and you. said no this is no this is a fantastic.
car yeah this car and it's fast I mean. you were saying no no this I kept saying. it's the wolf and sheep's clothing it's. the wolf and sheep's clothing Lisa you. don't get it car you have to call a wolf. and Chief's clothing it's a Ford tourist. on the outside but it's got an. incredible engine and a stick shift and. then um what color was. it Ireland green it was an Ireland green. four tourist on the outside four Gemini. on the inside and then but I'll never. forget pulling you're waiting out front. cuz this is like I swear to this so long.
ago you're waiting out front cuz I said. I'll be right over you're Wai and I see. you looking at me and an architect. couldn't draw a more perfect o Lisa's. mouth was just a perfect. o and then I was. [Music]. like get over a wolf and sheep's. clothing it's like you're saying night. look like this but it's a good car I. promise good car and it was brand new. and I bought it in Mass Sho HS and when.
I bought it I didn't know how to drive. stick and that's how I learned how to. drive stick is with a for tourist that. had a stick shift why did you buy a. stick because that's what men did that's. what men did if you had a fast car and. they were cheaper too you didn't get you. know some wimpy automatic transmission. you no no I needed to have full control. over every inch of my. for it was just a time when people who.
like started doing well and then you. know got their dream car was like a BMW. yeah and that's what I was expecting. expecting B and then yeah I mean to I. couldn't tell the difference between. that and a Dodge. Dart um it was not I couldn't tell that. my grandma had a dodged Dart and it just. kind of looked similar yeah I think what. I was going for was I'm so confident. that I have these cars that an old lady. would drive that's how cool and. confident I am and it never worked and.
it's because I wasn't that cool in h yes. no you were but you were but you also. said no I don't like flashy yeah I don't. like flashy and it and then I didn't. like flashy either it turned out right. yeah cuz the first time I on friends and. everyone's getting new cars and you know. you see all our parking spots and it's a. a Mercedes Coupe and a Porsche and all. these fancy these. cars I got a Acura Legend. [Laughter].
cuz I didn't know how long this show was. going to go yeah you and that was in. season. 8 you know maybe we'll only have another. year nothing lasts forever never. go that's so hilarious especially if. your spot was like next to Matt LeBlanc. who yeah it was because he was such a. gear and is such a Gearhead that I could. imagine he had a different crazy car. every week and you're like well the. Acura has a lot of glove compartment.
space I know everybody going. yeah I that's sensible I guess I don't. know you did the sensible thing I like I. wanted to be sensible I remember back in. those days you had a I don't know if. you've ever made this since but you used. to make a make something which was you. would take M&M's yes pour them into a. pan yeah a big sheet pan yeah put them. in the oven and melt them well not.
totally not totally yeah but so that but. some of the Integrity of the Eminem is. is compromised. yes okay sounds like the point right. that was the point. uhoh deep. breath hold no deep breath. hold. exhale can I have a raise.
it just spiked yeah the podcast just got. cancelled I would be like my days are. free this is the part I don't like I. don't mind the inflating part what I. hate is when it's going down and there's. the throbbing in your arm that just. always feels gross to me does anybody. else have that no. okay I'd like to be excused from this. podcast I thought that was some exciting. podcasting that just happened yeah it.
was what throbbing what do you mean. throbbing when you compress your arm the. the blood then of course you feel it. going the thump th thump the thump in. your arm I don't have that so one of us. is. dying do you ever think wait we got to. get to the end of this M&M's thing oh. yeah yeah oh yeah yeah so you would make. this thing and it was like this big. sheet of kind of Quasi melted &m yeah. just it's it maintains its Integrity if.
done right it's just that it the candy. cracks and a little bit of the chocolate. bubbles out and it tastes like a. different kind of chocolate right it. tastes like good chocolate do you do you. still uh do you still do this when was. the last time you made that cuz you used. to make it a lot well yeah when I was. young and could have M&M's whenever I. wanted yeah yeah yeah no it's been a. long time right I think after I had. Julian my son I stopped doing that.
right yeah because we had to be more. healthy yeah I think of done a long. those days La living in a $380 month. apartment and I remembered I made one. thing and one thing only which was uh. Bumblebee tuna fish I'd put it in a bowl. I'd put a bunch of Miracle Whip in there. mix it up I'd put it on two pieces of. toast to make a sandwich and then I'd. have that with a bowl of Oodles of.
Noodles Ramen Ramen yeah and I you'd. think oh okay you do that maybe five. times in a row and you're good I'm made. of that stuff my entire body it's. probably why I'm wearing a blood. pressure monitor right now there's the. source of the throbbing destroyed my. body the flavor packet alone oh I love. the flavor packet God knows what's in. there right but uh that's all I did and. I think back on that now just as you say. said yeah we all were I don't know we.
were all just automatically doing these. things and. then now no I would not get anzu opal uh. which by the way didn't you share that. with Greg yeah my writing partner Greg. Daniels and I initially shared it and if. one of us had to date we had to ask the. other if we could borrow the car we were. adult men sharing an apartment we also. shared an apartment uh sh we shared an. apartment and we also shared an office. where our desks faced each other.
at and uh and a car and a car I mean. it's more than any married couple yeah. know and um uh absolute Madness and then. but also you guys had you came out here. with jobs you we had a try out at a job. which was not necessarily the news oh. that was a tryy out I think so I mean. meaning we were signed on to do I think. four weeks and then if it didn't work. which is why we were so petrified that. we bought the cheapest we rented a car.
and then we realized Greg was always. really good at this it' be cheaper if we. just bought this absolute piece of. yeah that they're giving that they're. selling at the airport to saps like us. and we bought it I remember it had a. sticker on the back that it said I heart. my and there was the face of a poodle. and I tried with gasoline to get that. thing off and it wouldn't come off and. so I just decided okay I'm just going to. go with it yeah.
