In this solo sit-down, I share a favorite Bronx memory of my grandfather finally snagging a coveted parking spot right outside our project building—and how nothing could make him give up that perfect spot to actually drive. It got me thinking about my "Plastic Couch Theory," and how sometimes we save life's joy ride for later instead of taking the wheel today. I even toss out a Bronx quiz: do you know what a johnny pump is? Grab your cawfee and let's talk about holding on, letting go, and making the ride worth it.
