Comedian Theo Von recently detailed a bizarre parking hack from his youth in New Orleans, revealing how he evaded campus tickets at Loyola University by leaving his borrowed car running indefinitely.
Speaking with guest Matt Rife on This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, Von recounted borrowing a roommate's unreliable car that couldn't be turned off without needing a jumpstart. "I would drive the car to school, and I'd park, like this was at Loyola in New Orleans. I would park up by the, like, teachers' area and just l- leave it running the whole time," Von said, explaining that campus security assumed "somebody just ran inside."
While other hosts might debate the ethics of taking up faculty parking spots, Theo Von treated the hustle as a necessary survival tactic in New Orleans. It is a testament to the city's legendary, laid-back reputation—though current students at Loyola University probably shouldn't try leaving their engines idling all day to avoid a ticket.
