Speaker 1: Are you supposed to say Porsche or Porsche Porscha. You're
Speaker 1: supposed to say it like that. Well, I don't think
Speaker 1: I can do it.
Speaker 2: Ferdinand Porsche who created the company, that's how he pronounced
Speaker 2: his name, Porsche.
Speaker 1: I don't know Ferdinand Pasha. Tosh Show. It's it's that
Speaker 1: time for another Toss Show. How are you? Everyone doing well?
Speaker 1: Excited to be here, big day here on Toss Show. Eddie,
Speaker 1: how are you?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: How is the weekend? How's my weekend? Oh? Thanks for asking?
Speaker 1: You know, it was good. My wife's birthday. Took her
Speaker 1: up north, up the coast and went out to dinner.
Speaker 1: And oh, celebrity sighting at dinner. That that I got
Speaker 1: excited about. All right, that's who I saw at dinner.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm gonna guess like a Lebron James.
Speaker 1: Lebron James at dinner with me? No, no, no, Carol Burnett.
Speaker 1: Carol Burnette, ninety year old Carol Burnett at dinner was
Speaker 1: sat right behind me. Now ask me who had reservations earlier?
Speaker 1: Me or ninety year old Carol Burnett. I think you
Speaker 1: I was at five she was at five thirty it's great.
Speaker 1: It was great though. The whole time I just kept
Speaker 1: taking photos of my wife, just like real awkwardly, but
Speaker 1: just trying to get Carol Burnette in the shot. That's fantastic.
Speaker 1: I'll show you that. That's silly. I saw another celebrity too, Eddie.
Speaker 1: As if Carol Burnett wasn't good enough. The very next morning,
Speaker 1: guess who I see Bob Newhart sports talk show host
Speaker 1: Colin Cowhard. And I didn't go up and say hi.
Speaker 1: I was with my kids and I was going to
Speaker 1: and my wife stopped me and said, that's not who
Speaker 1: you think it is. And I go, that's Colin. Guys.
Speaker 1: You know, we will talk sports for a second. I'll
Speaker 1: say he's just sitting there. I'll talk with him verse second.
Speaker 1: And she said, no, that's an actor. And then later
Speaker 1: she goes, oh, I think you were right. So Colin
Speaker 1: know that I recognized you, and I wanted to say hi,
Speaker 1: but my wife said no because normally I'm wrong. One
Speaker 1: time I was at a concert and I thought Drew
Speaker 1: Carrey was next to me, and again, I'm with my kids.
Speaker 1: I was with one of my kids at this concert
Speaker 1: m and I go, hey, Drew, and the guy uh,
Speaker 1: just looks at me, goes what and I'm like, oh no,
Speaker 1: and then my wife goes, that's so embarrassing because he
Speaker 1: knows that he kind of looks like Drew Carrey, and
Speaker 1: so when you say hey Drew and it's and it's
Speaker 1: not Drew Carrey, he's he's like, uh, anyway again, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do you have a video for me?
Speaker 3: I do have a video, dude.
Speaker 4: You just busted your freaking uh intercooler radiator.
Speaker 1: Anything even drives upon this radiator. That's the same curb
Speaker 1: that got Paul Walker alr P. Can you drive a
Speaker 1: car after you bust your radiator? I guess for a
Speaker 1: little bit, shouldn't be doing that anyway, beautiful E thirty? There?
Speaker 1: I love an E thirty? Is that second generation three
Speaker 1: series on a BMW? Oh didn't know, Tosh New Cars
Speaker 1: didn't have that on my Bingo card. Fucking idiots. By
Speaker 1: the way, if you've ever written that in your life
Speaker 1: thinking you were being funny, like oh I didn't have
Speaker 1: that on my Bingo card, You're not a funny person
Speaker 1: and people don't enjoy listening to you. Okay, so put
Speaker 1: that on your Bengo card. Oh, today's guest is the
Speaker 1: biggest of car guys, both literally and physically, just a
Speaker 1: huge man. He's my car guy. He's a car broker.
Speaker 1: I never understand why anyone would go to a dealership
Speaker 1: to buy a car. You say, oh, because we don't
Speaker 1: have the luxury of having someone do it for you. Yes,
Speaker 1: you do, and you're going to learn that today with Marty,
Speaker 1: my good friend Marty, who, by the way, no one
Speaker 1: talks more than Marty, just awng talks forever. Love every
Speaker 1: word he's saying. But just if you call him, know
Speaker 1: that you've just you got to block out forty five minutes.
Speaker 3: Men.
Speaker 1: But he actually is the first guest that I ever
Speaker 1: interviewed on this show, So the set's going to look
Speaker 1: a little different. Probably didn't give him a gift. I
Speaker 1: hope you can handle it. Enjoy, Pasha. Here, I'm with Marty,
Speaker 1: the car guy, as I know him via his email.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here, my pleasure. Why did you retire?
Speaker 2: Well, I was in the car business for forty six years.
Speaker 2: I turned sixty five last summer. My dad retired at
Speaker 2: sixty five, so I'm just following in his footsteps.
Speaker 1: You look great. I try you grew up here.
Speaker 2: Our family first came to Los Angeles in the eighteen fifties,
Speaker 2: so we go way way back.
Speaker 1: So there's probably some bad stuff in your history, I
Speaker 1: would hope. So all right, Marty, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know this about me. I know nothing about cars
Speaker 1: at all, Okay. Never been interested in cars. I blame
Speaker 1: my father, and I assume your father was interested in cars.
Speaker 2: My dad was a big car guy. The first new
Speaker 2: car I remember my dad buying was a nineteen sixty
Speaker 2: two Chevrolet Corbet to which as a five year old,
Speaker 2: I said, Dad, that's not cool.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So one day I'm sitting in the den and my
Speaker 2: dad comes through the front door and he walked in.
Speaker 2: He said, go look in the driveway. He yapped his
Speaker 2: ride and they're sitting in the driveway was a brand
Speaker 2: new white with red interior, fuel injected sixty three Corvette Stingrays,
Speaker 2: split window coop and I remember saying, Dad, you are
Speaker 2: now cool.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 1: So he won you over at that point.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Growing up with the dad who was a car guy,
Speaker 2: I loved cars, and in my younger days I went
Speaker 2: through everything, I mean, every BMW, every Portie, every Mercedes,
Speaker 2: you name, it. I had a couple of ferraris.
Speaker 1: What age is this?
Speaker 2: Oh? From starting at sixteen up to probably thirty.
Speaker 1: This is what I never understood. How do you like?
Speaker 1: I had a car at sixteen and I kept it
Speaker 1: till I was twenty five. It was like a hon
Speaker 1: a Civic. How long do you keep a car before
Speaker 1: you get another one?
Speaker 2: I've probably been through conservatively five hundred cars in my life.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. My father, huge car guy, everything knows
Speaker 1: everything about cars, knows every car, cares about it. And
Speaker 1: then as a young child, he says to me, and
Speaker 1: I can remember this, and he'll deny that this conversation happened.
Speaker 1: He said, we're gonna buy a complete old Mustang Beater
Speaker 1: for nothing. And you're like, you're twelve or ten now,
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and we're going to rebuild the whole
Speaker 1: thing and by time we're it'll take sixty years. And
Speaker 1: by time we're done, you'll be sixteen and you'll have
Speaker 1: this car. And guess what, never got around to it,
Speaker 1: and I never learned a thing about cars. That's why
Speaker 1: I think it's so fascinating that I that I found you,
Speaker 1: because it isn't a world that I ever ever can
Speaker 1: cared about at all, and people that do care about
Speaker 1: are so passionate, and then I get embarrassed talking to
Speaker 1: them because I don't know anything. But you, you know, eliminated
Speaker 1: the one thing that is the worst thing on the
Speaker 1: planet besides the dentist. It's buying a car. People hate
Speaker 1: going to dealerships. No, no, it's it's onyx. I would
Speaker 1: rather not own a car like I was, just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I I'll just never get a car again. Now I
Speaker 1: found you through my business manager, and probably the shortest
Speaker 1: person in the world that I trust. He's been my
Speaker 1: business manager since I was twenty two years old. I'm
Speaker 1: forty eight. And when you get a business manager, it's
Speaker 1: literally like reverting back to a child, because you all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you don't get male and your dad
Speaker 1: takes care of everything. You basically trust them with your life, right,
Speaker 1: And people are like, oh, I can't believe you do this.
Speaker 1: Haven't you heard all the horror stories of Hollywood? And
Speaker 1: it's like, of course I have, but I'm not smart
Speaker 1: enough to know how to do any of these things anyway.
Speaker 1: So you know, my point is, if I found out
Speaker 1: ten years from now he'd been stealing from me for
Speaker 1: thirty five years, you know, and I would say to that,
Speaker 1: im good, he deserves it. That was great as long
Speaker 1: as he's making money for you, right, heah, I don't
Speaker 1: care if he's making money for me. It's just like
Speaker 1: he's given me a great life. He's made the right decisions. Anyway.
Speaker 1: I came from nothing and got into show business and
Speaker 1: got lucky. And so that also not just lucky. Talent
Speaker 1: too well, yeah, I mean it's a lot. It's mostly talent.
Speaker 1: But anytime I experience any of these perks that affords
Speaker 1: itself in this silly world of Los Angeles, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. There's a guy that will just let
Speaker 1: you just say what car you want, and the next
Speaker 1: day the car arrives. I'm like, this is genius. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how much am I paying for this service? And then
Speaker 1: I was told that I'm not paying anything.
Speaker 2: Exactly right, an honest broker, a dishonest broker will tell
Speaker 2: you this is my fee to help you get your car,
Speaker 2: and they're also getting money from the dealer. I guarantee it.
Speaker 2: So I used to call a double dipping', which I
Speaker 2: would never do. People would always ask me what's your fee?
Speaker 2: How do you make money? I say, I get paid
Speaker 2: out of the deal by the dealer, and they would
Speaker 2: be that's it. I said, that's it.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing you should know about yourself now. I
Speaker 1: mean you probably know this, but now you're retired. So
Speaker 1: it's almost it's like talking at someone's funeral saying nice
Speaker 1: things about him when it's like, well, why didn't you
Speaker 1: say that when they were alive? But everyone says wonderful
Speaker 1: things about you, Rob. I was talking. Rob just recently
Speaker 1: said I'm going to talk to Marty and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: He's like, there was no no one was better at
Speaker 1: doing what he did anyway. So my point was though
Speaker 1: that this is just a no brainer. If you can
Speaker 1: find an honest one, that's the trick. You know.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of brokers. There are no shortage
Speaker 2: of them in Los Angeles, and I know most of them,
Speaker 2: and for the most part, they're good. A lot of
Speaker 2: them are greedy. So I would play off sometimes with
Speaker 2: some of the brokers, and you know, like one guy
Speaker 2: said once on a Ford expedition, He's like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: put the guy away for five thousand dollars commission I'm like,
Speaker 2: how how can you sell a Ford expedition and make
Speaker 2: five grand? It's a guy picked up the phone. He
Speaker 2: kill your deal. He said, they don't pick up the phone.
Speaker 2: They just trust me. And I said, I couldn't do
Speaker 2: that to one of my customers.
Speaker 1: How did you get in to being a car broker?
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of fell into being a broker because
Speaker 2: I was something else. Really before being a broker, I
Speaker 2: was doing what they call gray marketing, bringing in cars
Speaker 2: that weren't available in the United States, maybe previously imported,
Speaker 2: something like a Porsche nine thirty turbo. So in nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy nine, Porsche quit bringing him into the US, and
Speaker 2: you could buy a car in Europe for a fraction
Speaker 2: of what they did cost here, import them, legalize them,
Speaker 2: and be in it a brand new one for.
Speaker 1: A lot less more.
Speaker 2: I need then, say, in nineteen seventy nine, when it
Speaker 2: was the last year they built.
Speaker 1: Them, is that illegal gray? It sounds like it's like
Speaker 1: close to black market.
Speaker 2: Well it's called gray market because it's a gray area.
Speaker 2: It's not black all right, So gray market just means
Speaker 2: it's something that wasn't originally sold here. In the case
Speaker 2: of an automobile. It has to be legalized. So the
Speaker 2: dealers they hated guys like me because we were bringing
Speaker 2: in cars and selling them for a lot less than
Speaker 2: they were selling them for, and a lot of cars
Speaker 2: that weren't available. For instance, let's say you wanted a
Speaker 2: Mercedes SL so at the time it was a three
Speaker 2: eighty SL. They were very underpowered. In Europe, they made
Speaker 2: a five hundred SL. So they made a five liters
Speaker 2: V eight with a lot more horsepower, So people wanted
Speaker 2: to bring those cars in the gray market. Golden years
Speaker 2: were really about nineteen eighty to eighty five. The only
Speaker 2: reason it really died was because the dollar got strong
Speaker 2: against the mark. You couldn't save money, so it was
Speaker 2: like them, why buy them?
Speaker 1: Why do it?
Speaker 2: Okay, you're going to spend a lot of money. So
Speaker 2: you ask how did I become a broker? Well, people
Speaker 2: that I sold cars to in eighty eighty one eighty
Speaker 2: two they called me and they said, hey, it's time
Speaker 2: for a new car, and I say, I'm not importing
Speaker 2: cars anymore. I didn't really know what I was going
Speaker 2: to do. And they said, well, I don't want to
Speaker 2: go into a dealer. Could you just sell my car
Speaker 2: for me, and you handled the new car here. So
Speaker 2: I kind of fell into being a broker.
Speaker 1: What do people need to know? What's the minimum things
Speaker 1: people need to know when they're going to buy a
Speaker 1: car to not get ripped off.
Speaker 2: The biggest mistake people make is if they go in
Speaker 2: and say I can afford six hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2: You never want to say what you're what you're willing
Speaker 2: to pay per month. Okay, that's the biggest mistake. You
Speaker 2: want to establish what they're going to sell you the
Speaker 2: car for. That's the first thing. And then once you
Speaker 2: establish that, then you want to base yours based on
Speaker 2: that number. But there's all kinds of tricks dealers can play.
Speaker 2: They have what they call the buy raid on the money,
Speaker 2: what the bank gives it to them for, they can
Speaker 2: mark that up. They're free to mark it up. Same
Speaker 2: thing on a lease. It's a money factor. Most dealers
Speaker 2: routinely mark up the money factor. So in addition to
Speaker 2: whatever they're making on the front end of the deal,
Speaker 2: which is profit on the car, profit on whatever you
Speaker 2: buy for the car, extended warranty, whatever it might be,
Speaker 2: they're going to make money on the interest.
Speaker 1: There's no way around to this. There's no way I
Speaker 1: anybody can ever figure it out. Then it's really difficult
Speaker 1: get a good broker when they say I need to
Speaker 1: go talk to my manager. Are they Is that a
Speaker 1: stall tactic? Are they really actually going to get approval?
Speaker 2: They know what they're constrained by ahead of time, what
Speaker 2: areas they have to work within. So it's probably a
Speaker 2: little bit of both, but mostly it's probably bs.
Speaker 1: Okay. So I had a lady that was.
Speaker 2: Referred to me and she wanted to buy a new
Speaker 2: Hyundai Dream Client. She wanted to buy it, and she
Speaker 2: wanted to put ten thousand dollars down, and they were
Speaker 2: offering zero percent financing. She said, what's my payment going
Speaker 2: to be with ten grand down? Zero percent financing? And
Speaker 2: I gave it to her. But I said, since you're
Speaker 2: putting such a large down payment, they have one point
Speaker 2: nine percent financing, but a fifteen hundred dollars rebate, So
Speaker 2: your payment is going to go down twenty bucks a month.
Speaker 2: You know, over sixty months, that's twelve hundred dollars. She said, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I want the zero percent. I said, okay, let me
Speaker 2: give you analogy. You're standing on a corner. I walk
Speaker 2: over to you. In one hand, I have a one
Speaker 2: dollar bill and the other hand I got a twenty.
Speaker 2: Which one are you going to take? She said, well,
Speaker 2: I'll take the twenty. I said, exactly, So take the
Speaker 2: one nine in the rebate. She said, but I want
Speaker 2: the zero percent financing.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that speaks volumes of all Hyundai owners,
Speaker 1: but you get what you pay for. What about clear code?
Speaker 1: That seems like another bullshit thing that the industry created.
Speaker 2: It probably just will watched a Fargo You know you
Speaker 2: got to get that clear coat on clear coat.
Speaker 1: Well know they what do they say in Fargo? They
Speaker 1: don't take clearcoat? They say, yeah, but that true code.
Speaker 1: I sat right here and said I didn't want any
Speaker 1: true coad. They say true coat, true coat. I get
Speaker 1: that true coat.
Speaker 2: All that stuff to me is dealer add on, big
Speaker 2: profit centers and garbage, garbage, good garbage.
Speaker 1: What's the most you've ever made off of a car?
Speaker 2: Well, it'd be a classic car, wouldn't be a new car.
Speaker 2: I did a package deal in twenty eleven for a
Speaker 2: very good customer of mine. He had a nineteen seventy
Speaker 2: one to eightyse three point five convertible, which is very rare,
Speaker 2: and in nineteen seventy two six hundred, which was the
Speaker 2: grosser Mercedes Benz. I sold both cars for six hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars and he said, what's your fee? And I said,
Speaker 2: usually to sell a car, I charged five percent. But
Speaker 2: I feel a little guilty because that'd be thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: And I said, so, you know, probably something like half
Speaker 2: that I think is fair. And he said, what would
Speaker 2: it cost me if I sold him at auction? And
Speaker 2: I said, well, auction houses, to the seller they charge
Speaker 2: eight percent, and to the buyer they charged ten percent.
Speaker 2: So when a car goes through an auction, the auction
Speaker 2: house is making eighteen percent. And he said, well, I
Speaker 2: think it's fair. I pay you ten percent. So he
Speaker 2: paid me sixty thousand dollars. I like this guy, my
Speaker 2: business manager.
Speaker 1: He has a quote from you that he uses to
Speaker 1: this day, just so you know, okay, but he credits you,
Speaker 1: he's not stealing it. I want you to know there's
Speaker 1: an ass for every seat that is a saying of mine.
Speaker 1: There is an ass for every seat. Name some of
Speaker 1: your famous clients.
Speaker 2: Well, one that I absolutely adore working with or worked with.
Speaker 2: Was Sylvester Stallone, Rocky He's great. Sold a card at
Speaker 2: Doctor Dre.
Speaker 1: Doctor Dre Dre's got great tastes and cars. You ever
Speaker 1: deal with Exhibit Rember when he had a car show.
Speaker 1: I actually Exhibit was a customer of mine. He was
Speaker 1: with one of my business managers. First car I sold
Speaker 1: him was in two thousand and four or five and
Speaker 1: the Bentley Continental GT came out.
Speaker 2: I got him one of those. I got him a
Speaker 2: range drover.
Speaker 1: Biggest asshole client without saying Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld, I.
Speaker 2: Didn't deal with them, okay, But I will mention who
Speaker 2: was the most difficult to deal with?
Speaker 1: Difficult? Sure, that's a fair word. Mariah Carey. I never
Speaker 1: liked Mariah care I never liked her music. The only
Speaker 1: music I like hers is now when she sings live
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh my goodness, you can't sing anymore,
Speaker 1: and then like those I enjoy that. But who's your
Speaker 1: best client?
Speaker 2: Well, the best I guess could mean who have I
Speaker 2: done the most business with over the years.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, sure, who have you done the
Speaker 1: most business with?
Speaker 2: A gentleman who was still with us? Thankfully he's going
Speaker 2: to be eighty nine next month.
Speaker 1: Why is he driving?
Speaker 2: He owns Paramount Health Whitment Corporation. So like in the gym,
Speaker 2: the machines that say Paramount, I've never been to a gym. Okay,
Speaker 2: look at me.
Speaker 1: Okay. So he said, you get Donald Brennan's cars. They
Speaker 1: said I do. He said, I don't need to hear anymore.
Speaker 1: Get your order pad out and just start rattling off cars.
Speaker 2: A new five hundred sel amg whole thing for his
Speaker 2: ex wife, who he's very friendly with, a new five
Speaker 2: hundred sl and for his then fiance, a new career convertible.
Speaker 2: So three cars that morning, and he flew everything in.
Speaker 2: What's caused a fly car in? This is nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2: It was about seven and a half thousand dollars each.
Speaker 1: Okay, not as much as I thought you were going
Speaker 1: to say. Now it's more than double that, maybe triple.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been approached to sell a stolen car?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: What about does that bring a trailer website? Is that
Speaker 1: a good place to get a car? I've never sold
Speaker 1: anything or bought anything there. I'm familiar with the site. Actually,
Speaker 1: a friend of mine does put a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: he wheels and deals in classic cars. He gets crazy
Speaker 1: prices for his cars on bringer trailer. So if I'm
Speaker 1: looking for a deal, don't go. That's not where she
Speaker 1: get it. Probably not. You came up to me at
Speaker 1: Saddle Peak Lodge. I did. I did a restaurant outside
Speaker 1: of Calabasas, and you come up to my now wife
Speaker 1: and you say, oh, I hope you're enjoying that Mini Cooper.
Speaker 1: And I looked at you and went.
Speaker 2: You looked at me and I went, uh, oh, I
Speaker 2: think I just stuck my foot in my mouth.
Speaker 1: Right, the wrong girl? Wrong? I got that car for
Speaker 1: someone else? You did. She was so insecure at the
Speaker 1: time too, You're buying cars from other people. I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: you one another girl. A lot of girls in my
Speaker 1: life with cars. You got her out of a Tigwan
Speaker 1: lease and got her into a nice Audie in twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. And she was like, I blew her mind,
Speaker 1: couldn't believe you pulled it off, got a broker lease,
Speaker 1: got her the new car. It was like eighteen or
Speaker 1: nineteen dollars more a month for the brand new outing man.
Speaker 1: People don't realize that they can upgrade so much more
Speaker 1: for very little money. How many cars do you think
Speaker 1: you've sold? Oh boy, you have any idea?
Speaker 2: And forty six years averaging three hundred cars a year,
Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen thousand cars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of cars. What's your daily driver?
Speaker 2: I have a twenty eighteen Ford Raptor, which I bought new.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: But I also always have a secondary car for the dog.
Speaker 2: And I'm a big fan of super Outback. Oh look
Speaker 2: at you. They didn't even force you to do that, now,
Speaker 2: subrew knife. I've been had a deal with Suberu for
Speaker 2: over a decade. I started with him on the show
Speaker 2: because I wasn't a car person. I wanted them held
Speaker 2: up a sign I said, I delivered your first free
Speaker 2: one to the set.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I held up a sign like, suberrew, give
Speaker 1: me a free outback and they did. Well. No, First
Speaker 1: they put a pull up on their website like should
Speaker 1: we give Tosh a free Suberu, And then they wanted
Speaker 1: me to send it out to a large following what
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do that. That seemed desperate, so I
Speaker 1: just kept it real quiet and didn't give him any
Speaker 1: publicity and waited the very last minute and then had
Speaker 1: my friends and family flood the votes for the yes
Speaker 1: and it was like fifty six yes, fourteen no, and
Speaker 1: they were like, this is this backfired horribly, But I
Speaker 1: got that free suber up and then over the years
Speaker 1: developed a relationship and they always would give me. But
Speaker 1: it's it's gotten harder and harder to get free suber
Speaker 1: us out of them lately. Anyway, do you race? Were
Speaker 1: you like into speed?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 2: Per se? I have gone very fast. My record for
Speaker 2: speed in a car this gentleman I told you about earlier.
Speaker 2: Bill Hubner. He bought in nineteen eighty eight a Ferrari Tustarosa.
Speaker 1: And Sir mix a Lot has a song about it.
Speaker 1: He moved it down.
Speaker 2: We had a home down in Indian Wells and once
Speaker 2: a year the card had to come in for service.
Speaker 2: So he'd say, why don't you go spend the weekend,
Speaker 2: take one of my cars in Beverly Hills, drive down there,
Speaker 2: spend the weekend at the house, and then bring the
Speaker 2: Ferrari in for service, and then when it's done, take
Speaker 2: it back spend the next weekend. So I was like,
Speaker 2: twist my arm a little harder. And it was about
Speaker 2: six thirty in the morning and leaving Palm Springs. It's
Speaker 2: pretty straight.
Speaker 1: With a couple of Whoopti dews. There's some Whipti dews.
Speaker 2: There's some Whooptie dews there before you hit the big curve, huh.
Speaker 2: But I got that car up to one hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty five miles an hour and talking to a dead man,
Speaker 2: and it had more to go. But two things. One
Speaker 2: I said, if I get a flat, I'm a dead man, yep.
Speaker 2: And secondly, the curve's coming up, so I'm done. But
Speaker 2: that's the fastest I've ever driven one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: five in this testosa.
Speaker 1: Are you a fan of The Fast and the Furious franchise?
Speaker 1: I watched the first one and that's it. It really
Speaker 1: takes it.
Speaker 2: I do have a Paul Walker story though. Oh so
Speaker 2: when The Fast and the Furious. I believe the movie
Speaker 2: had been filmed, but it hadn't been released yet, and
Speaker 2: I think it came out when in like two thousand
Speaker 2: and one something like that. Anyway, his agent or I
Speaker 2: should take it back his wantab agent at that time,
Speaker 2: because he was shopping agents. His agent called me from
Speaker 2: William Morris Endeavor and said, I want you to call
Speaker 2: this guy his name's Paul Walker.
Speaker 1: I'd never heard of him. I didn't know who it was.
Speaker 2: I want you to call him, tell him I'll buy
Speaker 2: him a new car whenever he wants. He's serious, dead serious.
Speaker 1: Never had an agent do anything.
Speaker 2: Like this, buy your car anything you want. Up to
Speaker 2: sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Okay, well at least they had a cap on.
Speaker 2: Put a cap on it. So I called him and
Speaker 2: I said, so and so would like to buy you
Speaker 2: a car. He's like, excuse me. It's like he wants
Speaker 2: to buy you car. It's given you budget of sixty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. And at the time he got a E
Speaker 2: class Mercedes. It was the V eight with the AMG package,
Speaker 2: and I think it came in at sixty grand literally
Speaker 2: out the door.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would have gone over a thousand and
Speaker 1: just either paid the thousand out of pocket or I
Speaker 1: remember the age. I've never what agent is doing. That's insanity.
Speaker 2: Well it worked, Paul signed signed with this guy. I
Speaker 2: remember the agent telling me this guy is going to
Speaker 2: be the new Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: That's what was his comment to me. The next Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: You remember that Mercedes I bought my manager. I do
Speaker 1: what do we get her.
Speaker 2: We got her a nineteen seventy seven five sixty s
Speaker 2: L And this is probably what about seven eight years
Speaker 2: ago you bought it. I don't know something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm sure picture my phone, I'm sure from the wrecked
Speaker 2: and or not driven is what I'm what. I'm positive
Speaker 2: of the car.
Speaker 1: At the time, it was.
Speaker 2: Close to years old, and it had like seventeen thousand
Speaker 2: miles on it. It was literally like the day it
Speaker 2: was on the showroom floor. And I remember telling Rob,
Speaker 2: I said, I've got the best one that Daniel couldbuy
Speaker 2: in the world. Not gonna be cheap because it's unique.
Speaker 1: I'm very generous. Yet still all I keep thinking about
Speaker 1: is Paul Walker's agent saying, here's sixty thousand dollars, go
Speaker 1: pick out a car. And it wasn't his agent at
Speaker 1: the time. And fairness though, his eyes, his eyes were
Speaker 1: so beautiful, you know, and I was cursed with just
Speaker 1: regular old brown eyes that nobody ever wants to dole
Speaker 1: a dollar out to. And how is your memory so good?
Speaker 1: I have a photographic memory, do you really? People say
Speaker 1: they have a photographic memory, but they don't really have
Speaker 1: a photo I do.
Speaker 2: When it comes to stuff, long ago, but not so much.
Speaker 2: If you asked me what I had for dinner last night? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what did you have for dinner last night?
Speaker 1: Mexican food? Oh?
Speaker 2: I had a chili rina, a cheese enchilada, two taketos
Speaker 2: and rice and beans, geese.
Speaker 1: Luise Beast, what do you think of Jonathan Ward over Icon?
Speaker 1: You like that guy? It makes it restores those Broncos?
Speaker 1: Oh I know Icon? Yeah, yah, yeah, yeah. I got
Speaker 1: one of his early Broncos. Loved it. You know. I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this car is amazing and it's kind
Speaker 1: of understated, but it's still like you know, cost a Fortune.
Speaker 2: Oh they were He's crazy expensive, but he does beautiful.
Speaker 1: Work, beautiful and I'm like, I get this thing. And
Speaker 1: then I realized, oh, now everyone wants to talk to
Speaker 1: me about the car, and I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: the car. I'm just the jerk that could afford it
Speaker 1: and I bought. So I always lie and say it's
Speaker 1: my wife's. People asking like they well, tell me about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, that's my wife's car. I'm just
Speaker 1: driving it. And that's how I get by with that one.
Speaker 2: Those early Broncos have a gigantic cult following.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that. And then Broncos came back
Speaker 1: into production, and now I'm embarrassed to drive it almost,
Speaker 1: but I'll keep it for I guess ever, is that
Speaker 1: the rule? Is that what you're supposed to do?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What are some of the most overrated cars in your opinion?
Speaker 2: I think of like, you know, like Mercedes Benz. They
Speaker 2: don't make a single vehicle I would buy today. I
Speaker 2: just don't find anything that they make interesting. You know,
Speaker 2: driving rules races. I find them embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Oh you do? Oh yeah, see that'll stick with me.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, Marty said, that's embarrassing to be
Speaker 1: in this car. I still like Porsche nine to eleven's
Speaker 1: all car people care about Porsches. I just would never
Speaker 1: ever want to be in that car. They're fun to drive,
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, listen, I'm positive you're right. Are
Speaker 1: you supposed to say Porsche or Porsche Porsche? You're supposed
Speaker 1: to say like that? Well, I don't think I can
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: Ferdinand Porsche, who created the company, that's how you pronounce
Speaker 2: his name, Porsche?
Speaker 1: I don't know Ferdinand. Oh you ever funck with boats? Boats?
Speaker 1: We have everyone growing up ski boat. That's it. Never
Speaker 1: sold a boat. They're not good buys, they're not good investments.
Speaker 2: Well, they say the two happiest days of a boat
Speaker 2: owner's life is the day buys it and the day
Speaker 2: sells it.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think of Jay Leno and that collection?
Speaker 1: Is it nonsense? What's going on? Why is he driving
Speaker 1: around the steam engine that car almost cost him his life?
Speaker 1: Is that the one? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Shocking that that's not up to code in nineteen eleven
Speaker 2: or something. I've run into him at several different car shows.
Speaker 2: He's always been nothing but a really nice guy and
Speaker 2: a gentleman in person. I don't know him personal Areo
Speaker 2: killer outside? I assume now he seems always nice. He's
Speaker 2: always been nice to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just a nice guy. Do you hate
Speaker 1: Elon Musk or are you a Nazi?
Speaker 2: That's I think Elon Musk is brilliant. When Tesla was
Speaker 2: launched and initially it was just like that little Lotus
Speaker 2: car that he stuck on the batteries in and when
Speaker 2: the Tesla Model sque came out, which was initially his
Speaker 2: first car, I said, there's no way he says in business. See,
Speaker 2: I wish I would about his stock. What do you
Speaker 2: think of electric cars.
Speaker 1: I think that they serve a purpose.
Speaker 2: I'm all for if you can do your part to
Speaker 2: you know, live in a cleaner environment, all that, I'm
Speaker 2: all for that.
Speaker 1: Well, forget the environment part of it. What about the
Speaker 1: car itself? Do you like where the electric cars are?
Speaker 1: They're crazy fast. I know, because you get one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the torque instantly when you step on the accelerator.
Speaker 1: Four motors going too yeah yeah, so you get instant torque,
Speaker 1: and I mean the thing will just snap your head
Speaker 1: into the back of the seat, which is fun. But
Speaker 1: I like hearing an engine. I like you. I'll sit
Speaker 1: next to you and just go like this.
Speaker 2: I like hearing an engine. I like feeling gear shift.
Speaker 2: So the kind of eerie quietness of it. A lot
Speaker 2: of people love it.
Speaker 1: Me not so much. I got there. I have the
Speaker 1: pick up the Rivian. I saw it. It's very nice.
Speaker 1: You know, they're an Irvine company. I thought I was,
Speaker 1: you know, eight years ago or whenever they said, oh
Speaker 1: this is coming out. I'm like, oh, I'll give you
Speaker 1: a little security deposit and when this comes out, I'll
Speaker 1: get it. And then it came out and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I love driving, but they told us it was going
Speaker 1: to do tank turns. You know, all the wheels were
Speaker 1: gonna spin opposites, it would just spin in circles. And
Speaker 1: I was really excited about that. But then they won't
Speaker 1: release that software because it's bad for the environment to
Speaker 1: like just go destroying the woods by spinning around everywhere. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I was excited. I was excited about tank turns. Then
Speaker 1: I get the Rivian I can't do any tank turns. Dumb.
Speaker 1: Now my thing with it is as just pure convenience.
Speaker 2: It's great as long as you don't drive a lot.
Speaker 2: But what if you know, if you got to do
Speaker 2: a long drive, then you got to plan ahead.
Speaker 1: Where are you going to stop? Where are you going
Speaker 1: to charge it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You find it super You stop someplace by time you
Speaker 1: do have a horrible road BM and you get yourself
Speaker 1: something something to eat. You're back to eighty p. Yeah
Speaker 1: there you go. Ah, happily married. Happily married. How on
Speaker 1: coming up on three years three Yeah? Yeah, that's real
Speaker 1: easy to be happy then. People that don't want to
Speaker 1: retire ever, I've never understood that. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: never work again. Are you enjoying retirement. I love not
Speaker 1: being in the car business anymore. I went from just
Speaker 1: this absolute passion for cars to it all became just
Speaker 1: iron Marty. Again, Here's what we were the saying. When
Speaker 1: I think about what I do for a living, like
Speaker 1: people like, oh, you get to make people laugh and
Speaker 1: like performing stand up, I'm like, that is so stupid.
Speaker 1: Like what I'm up, I'm telling jokes to strangers. This
Speaker 1: is the dumbest way to make a living. I can't
Speaker 1: even wrap my head around it. Sometimes at night I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll talk to my kid, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: do you do? And I'm like, Eh, I don't really know.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. Well, Marty, thank you very much

Speaker 1: I want, and your gift will be the commission on
Speaker 1: that car. I really would like that car. You think
Speaker 1: you think you think Marty can get it for me, Carl,
Speaker 1: you'd love it sitting in the back of an E
