Just open the door for Elijah, the ghost who comes through the door.

**Adam Carolla** (2:00)
That's right. You leave a chair open and you hide some matzah or you swipe it like a credit card.

**Dave Dameshek** (2:05)
I imagine you must have gotten invited to your share of Passover seders because, like Bernie Kosar, people often mistake you as being one of the chosen people.

**Adam Carolla** (2:14)
I was invited. My grandmother surrounded herself exclusively with gay men and intellectual ass wipes, like super blowhard intellectuals. My grandmother had a complex, which is she felt like she came from white trash, and she probably did. Her dad was a cement contractor out here. She was successful for a while, then the Depression hit. But she came from that. And so she was basically Madonna before she was Madonna. You know Madonna's decided she's British and European, and she'll speak to my seconds and things like that.
Meanwhile, so here I said, look, she didn't really like this country. It's not that she didn't like this country. She romanticized sort of Europe, and she married a European guy. She was the only broad in North Hollywood driving a Peugeot in 1959 I mean, they literally drove European cars, Mercedes, old Mercedes, old Peugeots, like two-stroke cars from like East Germany and stuff. Like, the kind of stuff where, look, driving a Peugeot is fine, except for a Peugeot is a piece of shit. Like, Peugeot is not a good car. And the bad news is you can't find any parts for the piece of shit that always breaks down because it's 1961 and you're living in the San Fernando Valley. There's not a lot of Peugeot parts places on the corner. So it makes a lot more sense just to drive a Ford or GM because it's a lot easier.

**Alison Rosen** (3:45)
And if no one was looking and if she were totally alone, that's probably what she would have driven, right?

**Adam Carolla** (3:49)
Yeah. It's like the poor guy, the rockabilly guy, who has to drive the vintage Mercury.
But with the Peugeot, if you need a distributor cap, it's 180 bucks and there's a six-month wait if it's on the next container ship. If you drive a Ford, it's $1.99, and we have dozens of them in the back. That's basically, and the car rides and looks and drives and everything the same. But she's European. She married a European guy. She drove European cars. She smoked cigarettes that were colored. They were in a good way.
Not in a negative way, in a good way. They looked like little ribbons, blue and pink and Easter egg color. Oh, but they were European. She had to get them special. Now, just Marlboro Reds would have been cheaper, easier, more abundant.
