Quincy JonesGUEST
I was helping her at Parallel Park or something.
Quincy JonesGUEST

We went to the DMV.
speaker_0HOST
He, he did some parallel parking.
speaker_0HOST
Did it a few times.
speaker_0HOST
First did it right, you know.
speaker_0HOST
You know, and once you start parallel parking too many times in a row, I mean, the odds of, of doing it right are slim to none.
speaker_0HOST
So it's like, he's like, "I don't know what's wrong with me." I was like, "You've done it too many times." One of those, those particular things that, you know, you usually do it right the first time, and that's it.

So one time this friend of mine, this is, I mean, this is when I first drove because I didn't drive for 18 years when I lived in Chicago.
Jessica MurnaneHOST
But when I first learned to drive, a friend of mine in college taught me the best way to parallel park is to pull up to the car that would be in front of where you're parallel parking and So your window is aligned with them, their window.
