What BBN said on air
Hank LedgerA viewer on bbn.live asks, and I quote, what is I teach my little sister how to drive game. I read it three times.
Hank LedgerI believe the question is how to teach a little sister to drive.
Chip DarnellI would be the best driving instructor alive. Every time she breathes, I clap. She turns the key, I clap.
Chip DarnellThe car stays parked, I give it a standing ovation.
Hank LedgerThat is how you end up with a driver who thinks a mailbox is a suggestion.
Dr. Nina ByteThe real answer is boring and it works.
Dr. Nina ByteStart in an empty parking lot in daylight, check that she has her state's learner's permit and that you meet its rules for supervising, and spend the first lesson on mirrors, brakes and slow turns.
Chip DarnellAnd when she brakes smoothly, I throw confetti. Out the window. At forty miles an hour.
Hank LedgerForty.
Dr. Nina ByteKeep it calm, keep lessons short, and say what you are about to do before she does it. Stay quiet when she is concentrating.
Dr. Nina ByteNobody learns physics while being screamed at, and a car is physics with a horn.
Chip DarnellSo an empty parking lot. Does a big stretch of grass count as a parking lot?
Hank LedgerNo. Ask your own questions at bbn.live, and Chip, put the confetti down.
