00:00i know this is you know admitting something what do you think is the most distracting thing you've
00:09done while driving uh no comment oh damn i'd like drop in itself i i would say that's probably the
00:18most distracting any kind of stuff your phone drops yeah oh phone drop is terrible it's the
00:23worst right phone drops if it's on the freeway you just gotta wait and right on the passenger
00:28side especially mine's flown out the seat oh mine's gone underneath like the pedals and i feel like i
00:34gotta fish it out of there like because i don't you know block you stopping or something yeah every
00:40once in a while my phone will fall i have like a little magnet thing and it'll fall down but it'll
00:45remain attached to like the charging cord and i like i'll lift it by the charging cord like i'm
00:53disarming a bomb of some kind of crazy oh come on make sure that does not stay on don't you dare
00:59go between the chairs don't you dare never get it back yeah oh that's it that's it i totally have
01:06been there too yeah i think everyone can relate to that how distracting was it when you had the
01:10grand prix and all the electrical stuff started failing and all the windows and everything would
01:15go up and down when i was driving like christine the haunted car it was horrible the worst no the
01:22worst was though chuck like i told you like the automatic seats it would just push me forward right
01:27it would push me forward to the point where i'm like this driving and i thought i won't be able to
01:33hit the brake to stop because i was squished too tight together because then it would slide me all the
01:38way back just when i'm getting and i'm like oh because i have a memory of going out to the parking
01:44lot and it's funny because you're like did i have i created this memory or did really but i have a
01:50have a memory of you being like no come look watch oh yeah like turning it on and like windows were
01:57going 100 up and down what's happening the first few years that we did the show i had that car that was
02:05the old news car from the old station so did you just drive it like that with all the i couldn't
02:10afford to get it fixed oh yeah expensive yep radio the worst was the trunk when the trunk would open
02:15on the highway i couldn't have anything in the trunk right because stuff would just fly out of there
02:20like he legitimately didn't know what electronic system was going to activate no that's the craziest
02:27it was like you had a haunted car yeah yeah wonder what windshield wipers do now all the windows up and
02:33down like snowstorm windows would go right down was there ever a time where you drove it and nothing
02:38happened oh yeah there would be like it wouldn't happen every time yeah but it just then started
02:43happening more and more until the point where i was like oh god so then i traded it in you didn't say
02:48anything no of course not right please christine don't freak out please don't freak out when the guy
02:55goes in to check it out and he started it up and i'm like oh god oh god nothing happened christine
03:02wanted to move on christine did thank god i'm like if the trunk pops open or the hood pops open or the
03:07car you know the seats start moving then i'm done but he's like oh it's in pretty good shape yeah we
03:12can give you this much and i'm like great yep i'm amazed i didn't get hurt i'm amazed yeah the guy's
03:20really crazy like even me i'm tall if anyone else had a bin in that car when the seat pushed itself
03:26all the way back yeah well i would have had no control my little legs i'm up there like a grandma
03:31uh as it is i mean i go back to the back i'm like a little legs and you kick it out
03:39what am i gonna do i already drive like this i'm like
03:45that's hilarious yeah man if the seat went all the way back i'd have no chance
04:00it's really scary it's really scary that it is yeah i'd have to shimmy down onto the ground
04:07there was like one car i had i can't remember if it was like my honda civic crx or what it was but
04:13the chair or the like seat went out in the back so i had to like you had to hold yourself up which
04:20was like cool until you're going up a hill oh yeah oh my god oh my body is being suspended with
04:27the abs i never worked out why is this happening yeah hold on abs hold on we've got this you don't
04:37realize how much you rely on the back of those chairs they really do they really do you're like
04:42oh i'd be afraid of the steering wheel ripping right out oh man well that happened to me in my
04:50grand am the steering wheel ripped out yeah it ripped right out into my hands and uh it was so
04:56this was my mom's car this is no good press for pontiac thank god they're not around they're gone
05:01they're gone you're starting to see why
05:04so i my mom had bought the grand am which was like one step below the grand prix which like
05:14is what you had and so this one day i'm i jump into the car and the way you kind of had to get in
05:21there you'd grab the steering wheel pull yourself in so i grabbed the steering wheel pull myself in i
05:25heard something and i'm like hmm like a crunch or a cracker i was like hmm that's weird but i'm like
05:31oh well i gotta go i gotta get to you know school so i i started driving away and i'm i'm like a
05:39couple miles away from my house and i go i go to turn and the whole steering column popped out oh my god
05:45it still worked but the mechanism that would like let you move it forward and back and up and down
05:52oh that was snapped and it was just like so the steering wheel was just in free motion
05:59free motion i was like what's happening it's like a plane it was it felt it felt like i was flying a
06:07plane you know and um but yeah so not the best press
06:12um
06:30okay
