- [Eugene] Parallel parking, the most daunting part
of any driver's test,
and the bane of drivers everywhere.
But what if you tried parallel parking
an 18-wheeler truck?
- Oh my God.
This is crazy.
What am I doing?
- [Zach] Welcome to Big Try,
where we take normal everyday things
and try them in their largest possible form.
(laughs)
- Oh my God.
- Let's just reset.
Just a little reset over here.
- [Man] Big Try.
(truck honks)
- [Ned] We're going to start with the school bus
and then work our way up to an 18-wheeler truck.
- [Keith] Oh, so big.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
- [Ned] Oh, look at this.
- I'm Bubba Bottoni.
I'm a transportation driver here at Zio.
Ah, I've been driving about 25 years,
with Zio for about five.
And I used to two helicopters, tanks,
to 10 million dollar Porsches.
I've driven pretty much anything in this industry.
It'll scare the hell out of you right at first.
I'm going to tell you right now, because it's so big.
Seventy-five foot beast, right?
That's 14 foot high, weighs 75,000 pounds.
If you're not paying attention, you could hurt somebody.
- Oh wow.
- Look at this bus.
This is big.
This is hilarious.
- Are we going to school or what?
- [Keith] I haven't been on a school bus.
- [Ned] It looks like a school bus.
- Blah.
- Ah.
(horn honks)
- Hey, you fucking kid.
Get your head inside the bus,
I swear to god, I'm gonna pull over and fucking fuck you up.
- [Keith] Sorry, Mr. Korn.
- Sorry, Mr. Kornfeld.
- I do not like parallel parking.
It stresses me the fuck out.
How do I close the door?
- See the door button right there.
Right in the front one.
Yes.
- It's a button now?
- Oh, yeah, dude.
(laughs)
- Parallel parking is something that I think everybody
universally hates.
It's a time of stress.
You're worried about if other drivers are judging you,
if your passengers are judging you.
What, how do we move the mirrors around?
- You have to do that manually.
Get outside and move them.
- You're kidding me.
- No.
- Okay.
We're going to use the mirrors that we got.
- All right, here we go.
- Oh boy, Full Throttle's here.
- One thing I do know about parallel parking
is it's all about the approach.
If you have a good approach,
execution is a breeze.
Fans, lights, drivers, domes.
Let's turn on the driver's dome.
Yeah, there it is.
All right.
(laughs)
- Did you read a book?
- Yeah, just in case I need to do some light reading.
- [Zach] Keith and I drive a Prius C,
talk about the adjustment here.
- Oh, a guy with a Prius.
Oof.
Are you good at parallel parking?
- [Keith] No.
- Oh, you're going to be terrible at this.
- If you can't parallel park your Prius,
we're in trouble today.
The bus is easy.
It's automatic.
I know this is going to sound funny.
It's no different than your Prius.
Just a lot bigger, about five Prius's.
And the main thing is,
is get the back wheels of the bus
where you want to start turning it.
Then you start pulling it around, right.
And backing in.
It's the same thing.
- This is cool.
- Ah, Mr. Kornfeld, I need to go to the bathroom.
- Shut the fuck up, kid.
- Stop swearing.
- There's a bunny rabbit mode.
Can I put bunny rabbit mode on?
- Nah, you don't need that.
That'll just rev it up.
Yeah, you're good like that.
- All right.
Well, I'm going to put it into reverse.
- You're close,
but it usually says R right there.
- Oh.
- [Keith] Oh, Zach, you just got that.
- [Ned] Oh, you're doing the windshields.
- Oh, okay.
How do you, how,
there's so many buttons.
Pull to apply parking brake,
push it.
Oh.
- Oh, okay, okay.
What happened?
We're moving, we're moving.
- My foot is not even on the gas.
I can't, if there's someone behind me, I don't know it.
- That's a wow.
- [Ned] That's how most cars work.
- I came remarkably close to already hitting our partners.
- Oh, it really goes out, and yeah.
All right, all right, all right everyone chill.
All right.
We're gonna be gentle.
- Oh my god.
- How far have I gone?
I have no idea where the back of my bus is.
I'm gonna go a little farther up.
Oh, no.
We were in reverse.
All right, here we go.
- This is fun.
- Should we go more, boys?
- Let's do it.
Let's see what you got.
- You'll learn today how tough it is
really to parallel park these
or back them in the spots.
Sometimes, it's scary.
I'm not going to lie, I've been doing this a long time.
- Here we go.
- [Keith] Are you just sort of going for it, bro?
- He's going for it.
- No.
- [Keith] You're just going for it.
You're just driving in blind?
- Get in there.
Get in there, boss.
- Yeah, oh my god.
- [Ned] You okay?
- Everyone's okay.
Oh no.
I don't think I went deep enough, did I go deep enough?
Did I get in deep enough?
Okay, we're really close to the cones.
- This is a disaster.
- He killed them, those cones are dead.
- That's a lot of deductions.
Oh boy.
Oh, what do I do, guys?
I'm really killing a lot of cones.
- You got this.
Come on now.
- [Keith] Yes, yes, Ned.
- We're going to need to,
we're going to need to cut it back pretty quick.
Eee.
I think my line was a bit too aggressive.
Yeah.
I'm all fish-necked.
- [Man] Out of the zone.
- I really don't feel like my mirrors are the best.
Okay, I'm not going to kill the wives.
We're just going to go just forward an inch.
And then we're going to do it in two.
Oh god, I'm going to kill them.
I don't want to kill them.
- Uh, here we go.
- I love this attitude of just here we go.
- [Zach] Here we go.
- [Man] Oh, look at you.
- [Keith] Hey.
- [Man] Look at you.
- [Keith] I think you did it, bro.
- [Ned] Did we do it?
- That was absolutely, uh.
Perfect.
- Uh oh, uh oh.
I'm just gonna go right next to this cone.
- Oh, there you go.
Oh, look at that.
Oh.
- [Keith] Got the curb a little bit.
- Oh no.
- Did I go, oh shoot,
I think I hit the wives.
Oh god.
Ease it in, ease it back, ease it back.
- [Keith] Are you done?
(horn honks)
- What are you honking at?
- Oh, wait a minute, that was nerve-wracking.
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby.
- Why don't we kill the engine and see how we did?
- Sorry bro.
You killed her.
- Oh no, my beautiful partner
and the other two.
- Tape them back to the cone.
- I'm sorry Ariel.
- [Keith] Sorry ladies.
- Pretty good.
- I think it's good.
Usually it's a failure if you kill somebody.
- [Zach] Well.
- It's okay though,
you barely touched 'em.
From a Prius to a bus, look at you.
- Did I really hit this?
I did?
Fuck.
What were you doing back here, Becky?
- Good job, Keith.
- I felt good about it until I found out I murdered them.
- Oh, the wives, they survived.
- [Zach] No kidding.
- They survived.
- [Zach] No way.
- Yes.
Oh lady Ariel.
(smooches)
Oh I love my wife so much,
I love my wife so much.
Now these guys.
These cones are not so lucky,
literally on one of the cones.
- [Zach] Incredible.
- I don't know how that happened.
- The angle's not the best,
but all in all pretty good.
- I saved you, I saved lives today.
- [Keith] Okay.
So that was the bus and none of us did it perfectly,
I would say.
So let's move on to something that's even harder.
- [Zach] The 18 wheeler.
- [Keith] I like to think of myself as a pretty
good parallel parker.
Am I the best?
We'll find out today.
- [Zach] I am the best driver of the Try Guys.
It's canon,
but I am not the best parker.
- I'm a Florida boy, so I've launched a boat or two.
I don't know if I personally have launched a boat,
but I've definitely seen my friends do it
and seen my dad try and do it.
It's very difficult.
- This is one of the hardest trailers to park.
It's a 53 foot trailer, two axles.
Day cab, it's automatic, which is a plus.
You get in the truck,
you'll see a lot more gauges than you will with your Prius.
If, have you ever towed a boat?
Heavier, nothing.
Well a Prius, it's kind of tough to tow anything with.
But, if you ever towed a boat,
you'll just realize you've got the fifth wheel plate
right here, right?
The back of the trailer.
This little space turns the whole rig.
You'll pull the tractor up to that turning point
and then do a 12 o'clock 90 degree turn.
And then you turn the truck another 90 degrees
totally opposite so the trailer lines up.
That's when you're supposed to back it in
and if you're in trouble, get out and look.
There's no points if you want to get out
and look and see how your tail swing is,
get out and look.
- [Keith] I'm playing it out in my mind.
Bird's eye view, how this will work and I'm trying to see
myself doing it.
- I'm pretty nervous,
but I am excited for one thing.
(horn honks)
Yeah.
- It's so loud.
- Time to channel a little daddy Vin.
I'm gonna do this fast,
and I'm gonna be furious.
You guys know that the chair does this?
- He's adjusting his butt a lot.
- That's fun.
I liked that.
Oh.
- Here we go, we're rolling.
(horn honks)
- Look at me.
- It's a tiny man in a big truck.
- I have no idea where I.
All right, hold on.
How do I put it in park?
- [Keith] Can't see where the end is.
- There we go.
- He's getting out.
He's gonna look.
He's gonna give it a look.
- When you're in a truck, believe me,
you're talking inches.
I was in Venice and I had literally two inches on each side.
'Cause nobody wants to help you move their cars.
God, if you,
if you inconvenience somebody, forget it.
This is LA, baby.
They don't care.
Very safety conscious.
Get out and look, baby.
- If I'm gonna kill somebody, just let me know.
- [Keith] I think you're going the wrong way.
- Gotta turn the other way.
- Yeah, Zach.
Yeah.
I'm worried about that truck
that's got the dope doors open.
- Reset, reset.
- I got it.
- Reset.
- Just gonna reset.
- [Keith] Yeah, I think you should redo it, one more time.
- Did I just cut it too much?
I must have.
Okay.
And I want my car to go that way.
This is not working.
This is not working at all.
- Maybe try to pull in, pull in forward.
- Yeah, maybe it's a frontsies.
- I don't know what I'm doing.
- He's so far away.
- I don't know what's happening, guys,
but it's not working.
- It's gonna take him like 20 minutes.
- Ooh, okay.
Maybe this way?
Jesus, where'd that thing come from?
Okay, okay.
And now.
- I am so stressed out right now.
- When do I turn the fucking?
- [Ned] Oh my God.
Oh my god.
- You better hecking get it, bro.
- [Ned] He's like perpendicular.
- I don't know, man, I don't get it.
Let's just reset.
Just a little reset over here.
No cones hit by the way.
Not a single one.
- Back and forth, back and forth,
back and forth.
- What the flip, man?
- You got this.
I feel it.
I'm feeling it.
- [Zach] I'mma figure this out.
- [Ned] This is his best frame.
- [Keith] He's actually pretty okay.
- I'm going to hit something over here.
- You're fine, clear on my side.
- I think this is good.
Zach.
This is good.
Yes Zach, yes.
- Ah.
- Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it.
Not that way.
- [Ned] Not that way.
- [Keith] No.
- You fucked me, man.
You fucked me.
- [Both] The other way.
- What?
- Forward, and then cut the other way.
- Oh the cone, it pops back.
- This way?
No, the other way.
- [Keith] Now cut it.
- The other way, the other way.
- Yeah.
- The other way, the other way.
It's so confusing, it does the opposite of what you think.
- The cone popped back again.
- [Keith] That is a resilient cone.
- [Both] Yes Zach.
Yes.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just keep going.
- This makes no sense.
None.
- [Ned] It makes no sense.
Keep going.
- [Man] Look at that, look at that.
Put it in park.
- [Ned] Yeah, all right.
- Guys that was.
How many cones did I hit?
Are you kidding me?
- [Keith] You only hit one, but it refused to stay down.
- I can't believe I didn't make more carnage.
- Here we go.
My shoe is untied.
We are going to have to clear that up.
- Zach give him a break.
- Oh dear God.
Hi.
Where is my back?
I have no idea.
- Oh yes, you are responsible for your damage,
if it's your fault, absolutely.
If you really screwed a tractor up,
probably about 75,000.
If you were to screw the whole thing up,
probably about 285,000, maybe 300.
- So to make my thing go that way,
I need to go this way,
and that would be, yeah, okay.
- Yeah, that's the back of the trailer.
Yes, sir.
- Okay, okay, opposite.
- Don't do too much at once.
- Oh, it's kind of shaking at me.
Nope.
Why is Bubba's just laughing at me.
It's the mirrors, do me no good.
Oh god.
I'm so close to the cones.
Shoot.
What do I do now?
It's like a puzzle, started sliding this bad boy back.
- All right.
Well that's one cone.
- And he's on the route to hit about six more.
- [Zach] Just commit.
- Okay.
- He's just obliterating them.
- I'm judging by people's facial reactions
that I am destroying cones.
- If you were to do it again,
then I think you've cut it the wrong way.
- Cut it the wrong way.
All right.
Maybe if I just ease it up a little bit.
Oh, I'm so close to that one.
Honestly, that one just might need to be a sacrificial lamb.
Sometimes you just got to go for it.
- Just gotta go for it.
- Sometimes you just gotta go for it.
Oh God.
This one too.
Just seeing every second of that one.
We gotta be good though now, right?
- Yeah, perfect.
You should be in the truck tomorrow.
That's what I'm thinking.
- Oh no.
Oh no.
I suck,
it's like six feet past the cones.
God, I am so, so fucked.
- It was pretty positive at first.
You started out pretty good.
- I think this is where we went wrong.
- Oh boy, Ned.
- It's like, if you make one mistake,
you're just double, tripling, quadrupling that.
- And then you're in your head about it.
- No, no, no.
It's this way, we're fine.
Oh, murdering these cones.
Oh no.
Just go, just go.
We got this.
Ah, am I?
I need to be even more, right?
I need to be even more this way.
- Now straighten the wheels and just go straight back.
- But I am still in front of the cone line.
So it's probably.
- I think you've murdered enough cones,
the wives'll be okay.
- [Ned] That's gotta be good.
- [Man] Two thumbs up.
- Oh, thank god that's over.
I'm just, oh no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no, no.
Oh no.
I forgot to, how do I put it in park?
How do I put it in park?
- I just did.
- How do I put it, is it the, oh, fuck.
- Yeah, that's okay.
- Okay, okay, now we're done.
- Barely.
- We did it.
Yeah, they're okay.
- I can't believe that.
- Wow.
- I thought for sure that last long loss of control.
- [Ned] Yeah, I didn't know how to put it in park.
- [Man] It's tough.
Right?
- Turn on the car, truck.
It's hard not to call it a car.
And we're just gonna go slowly.
- Yep.
Usually tuckers are paid by the mile.
The more they're on the road,
the more money they're making,
you gotta be a little insane
to go across the country in four days, right?
With no sleep.
- Nope.
I went the wrong way, I went the wrong way.
'Cause that cone, that cone was so close.
- They're really under appreciated by a lot of people.
You wouldn't have your shirts.
You wouldn't have your shoes.
You wouldn't have nothing if it wasn't for truckers.
- What am I doing?
- You got it.
- Okay, Keith.
- I'm so scared.
And we're just going to go slowly.
- Yep.
There you go, baby.
Now you can see, right?
'Cause the mirror.
- Yeah, I can see a little bit.
- Gotta see out the mirrors now.
- Oh, I'm gonna hit this, this cone right here.
- Go right now.
All the way right.
Pull forward.
Keep on going.
- He's just going back and forth,
back and forth.
- I feel like I got to start evening
it out a little bit.
- There you go.
You got plenty of room on my side.
- Okay, do I?
- Yeah.
You got room.
- [Ned] Is he doing it?
- Yeah, he's kind of perfect.
I don't think he knows that he's perfect.
- [Ned] He's got really good lines.
- [Zach] Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
- There you go, baby.
Look at you.
- Get around this little cone.
- Yeah.
- You got this shit.
Damn good job.
There you go.
Look at you.
You did it, right there.
- Oh.
(horn honks)
Fuck yeah.
Wow.
- Mr. Habersberger, please step out of the vehicle.
- Okay.
Pardon me.
Is everything okay?
- Keith, we have some news for you, my friend.
- Yeah.
- Boy.
- There's been an unfortunate situation.
- Oh no.
Oh no.
- You have yourself a perfect score.
- No way.
Are you kidding me, I didn't kill 'em,
I didn't kill the ladies.
I gotta say I was also very concerned.
This GoPro right there.
I was like, if it hits a cone,
I'm going to be so pissed,
'cause that's not part of the truck.
I can't believe I am the best parker of the Try Guys.
I may not be the best driver,
may not be the most aggressive and fun,
but I can keep you safe when we're done with the trip.
What an amazing day.
This was such a unique experience.
I think we all gained an appreciation for the truck drivers,
the bus drivers on the road.
- That's hard.
- Right?
- You guys did a great job.
- Well, thanks.
- I wouldn't hire you on set or nothing like that.
But other than that, you guys did a great job.
- Okay.
- Maybe a PA or something where you guys would be okay.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- Ladies.
- Don't touch my wife's cardboard.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Congratulations on not dying from me.
I couldn't say the same about everybody here today,
but I feel like I did my wife and your wives,
well fiance.
- You did our wives?
- I did them proud.
