No, go to the link in the description and click on Telegram and Larry's going to tell us what Telegram is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so Telegram is just a communication app chat like a texting app, but besides texting you can also do video messages or voice messages. We do a lot of the voice messaging while we're out doing gig work. It's a lot easier to do when you're sitting at a stoplight instead of trying to type out a text or something, but you can communicate and make friends with gig workers all over the country and not feel so lonely when you're out on the road. Talk about any gigs you're doing that are working really well for you, that you're making big bucks on, or any really crappy rides or deliveries you had. You can vent and uh, you'll be talking to some people who've been there. They know what you're going through because they've done it too for sure today.
Speaker 1:Uh, I mean, obviously, larry, you remember ben. Uh, well, ben and I aren't super friends anymore. We still text occasionally. Uh, he sent me a message like he shared this app today. He's like, yeah, did he send it to you too?
Speaker 3:no, but I've been. I've been following on his facebook page the app that he's been developing, but he did not share it with me ben's developing an app yeah, go ahead. I thought that's what he was telling. I thought that's what you were talking about.
Speaker 1:No, what is he developing?
Speaker 3:It's about journaling.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he did. That's what he shared, but it wasn't like.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, he developed, he wrote it, oh he did it.
Speaker 1:He wrote it with AI.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1:I think so, I think so, yeah, oh, I'm oh, this. Okay, this is hilarious larry. If you ever send me something important, say to it, dude, read the whole fucking thing okay. Okay, because I was like I saw the app and I jumped down to uh, I gave up on telegram, too much spam and I don't use it enough to get pro. And then I just responded to that by saying lol, my whole life is on telegram which it is but he made an app interesting yeah, yeah so he said I made an app.
Speaker 1:Funny story. I had to sign up for the apple developer as part of the process. Somehow, threads podcast is still showing up under my profile. Apple's really weird when you have to do stuff Like it's. It's kind of complicated. Oh, that's interesting. Okay, so anyways, I didn't know he made an app. I was just going to make a telegram joke that my whole life is on telegram and I just realized he made an app. Uh, did you download it?
Speaker 3:I have not yet. Uh, uh, I've.
Speaker 1:I've never journaled, so I don't know. Oh no, I'm not journaling either now. No, in my head this app was for a replacement for Telegram. Like my brain goes so fast, I skipped the bulk and went to the end and I thought it was a replacement for Telegram. God, what a fucking idiot I am. But I might download it. I'd like to look at it. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I think it was a replacement for telegram. God, what a fucking idiot I am. But I'm, I'm. I might download it, just I'd like to look at it. Yeah, I'm going to try to break it. Yeah, I mean, that's what he wants, you know, he wants you to test it and find out what you find out about it.
Speaker 1:Well, anyway, sorry for that little tent tangent to look at the text. Now you can follow us on TikTok. We're streaming live there, as well as also Twitch, youtube and Facebook. I'm not sure what's going on. Like there's zero people from YouTube. Unless you know, we have such cross-promoting fans, unless Steve is still podcasting.
Speaker 1:He went live an hour before. My guess is that is the issue, because usually we have quite a few, quite a few YouTubers here. Uh, false on Tik TOK, blah, blah, blah. Speaking of Steve, uh, he's starting a new show. It's called the conversation. Tonight he had the CEO of delivered on there. Uh, it's a weekly series, kind of replacing, uh, this summer, the um around table. Thank you, larry. I know you can't see me, but you knew I was like, had my eyes closed. It's going to be an interactive show allowing everyone to participate if they want to, through the live stream. You know, I think it's going to be cool to do that. You know, not a lot of people want to do that, but I do feel there are times when people want to like chime in and they want to be on the live stream and I think that's cool, that he's doing that. So check that out.
Speaker 1:Steve Dove obviously does great work. Um, I wish he was coming to Nashville. I didn't officially invite him, but probably should have. He wouldn't have come anyways. He's too fucking busy. He has 19 shows a day, guys. 19, 19 podcasts a day. He is putting it out, yeah, so check it out If you'd like to see him on YouTube. Ride share rodeo on YouTube. Uh, stories from the road, larry, anything.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, no stories from the road. I'm trying to verify if I did any gig work last week. Uh, last week, um was my wife's work. On Thursday we went to Nashville, saw the new mission impossible movie on IMAX, which was awesome. That was cool. We saw it like 10 o'clock in the morning. There's like six people in the theater, okay. And then, uh, she did some shopping and that night we went out to eat, uh, the uh cheesecake factory, and then we went to the grand old Opry and it was CMA Fest week down in Nashville, so there was a gazillion people there, but but Opry Mills is not near downtown. So we, we, we stayed at Opry Mills all day, but, uh, they had a really big show. Usually on the Opry, you know, there's one or two people that really good, or that you know, and everything. But they had, uh, they had, um, uh, a lady who's third runner up. American idol. Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 3:She's really good, very strong voice, very much like a voice like like Carrie Underwood, um saying like two gospel songs, really really good. Then Steven Curtis Chapman was there. He's been a Christian artist for 30 years. Um, he was there. Uh, jelly roll was there. Yeah, he, jelly roll on the stage yeah, yeah, he was part of the show. Yeah, he was, he was, uh, he was one of the, you know, one of the artists.
Speaker 1:This isn't like the grand ole opry, yes yes, this is grand ole.
Speaker 3:That's right up from downtown that's like no, no, that's the rhyman. That's the Ryman. That's where the Opry used to be.
Speaker 1:Oh the Ryman, yes Right.
Speaker 3:They still have it there, like a month or two, I think, out of the year. They'll have it there and special shows will have it.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:But the Opry, they moved. That's right Back in the late 80s maybe. Anyway, they moved it to. It's called the Opry House, which is right next to Opry Mills Mall, gotcha. So, that's where we're at. Yeah, downtown would have been nuts. I was going to say yeah, and then they had a guy named Brandon Lake who's a huge Christian artist right now and apparently he's been kind of mentoring Jelly Roll, because Jelly Roll didn't actually go last. Brandon actually was the headliner for the show oh wow actually go.
Speaker 3:Last, brandon actually was the headliner for the show wow and uh, he was just talking about how much jelly roll had helped him, uh, along the way and stuff. So, and then, and we had a special thing if you could show proof that you brought brandon pre-purchased brandon's new album that was coming out that weekend, you got to go afterwards and go back. They called it backstage, but it's to kind of another smaller theater and and there's like 300 people and Brandon came out and answered questions and they interviewed him a little bit. So we did that too. Uh, this weekend we went to um, st Louis visiting my son. We went up in the arch and went to uh, went to a nice dinner that night and then, um, we went to the it's called the city museum in st louis, which, if you have kids between like 6 to 12 and this is this is the place it's like five floors of just all sorts of stuff and there's there's tunnels and caves and slide. I don't see how you don't lose a kid in there.
Speaker 3:I really don't yeah they have like 37 different slides throughout the building. Like one of them is like a five story slide. Me and my son did that one, which is pretty cool, all sorts of stuff, and then I watched the battle Hawks game. So we were really busy over the weekend Very cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, back doing gig work for me. I wrote Walmart spark is my bitch Just doing a lot of Walmart Not a lot, but like, decided to do some some pm stuff, which seems to be pretty successful for me. Um, I did uh with doing the white caps baseball. Uh, this year I had to get alcohol certified, which was like a two-hour class ended up doing that. So I submitted it to um walmart and then remember, like a couple weeks ago ago I I got a, like I was looking up the app and I had a random $60 and that was from that. They paid me 60 bucks even though I didn't take the class for them. So that was cool. So, yeah, that fast forward. I started back doing gig work and I'd be getting a lot of alcohol orders.
Speaker 1:Uh, you know, not like people part partying, but like, just like just like you know, they got some booze that they want to have for the week or whatever. Uh, so then last night was it last night last night or night more, it doesn't matter. Uh, I had an order. It had food and a bunch in like a fifth of vodka or something like that. I go out there, they're not fucking there, and that's one that you cannot do. You cannot just leave booze. That every app out there, I don't care if you're new, do not leave the booze, do not, you will get deactivated. I mean, yeah, I guess, I guess if you don't get caught, I guess, but they're going to go. Hey, this guy didn't scan an ID. I mean, everything is tracked on those apps. So, um, hey, steve, thanks for sending people over. Appreciate it, they? Uh? So, anyways, I get there. Of course, not there.
Speaker 1:I knock nothing, I text, wait about a minute, nothing, and then I always text first this is a tip to text first, because they're not going to answer a random call because they bought or they, you know sure different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't answer random calls no.
Speaker 1:So I send a text, nothing. So walmart makes you take everything back. You know you can't just leave the food, because they probably had 150 worth of food, so I brought it all back. Thank god walmart paid me what. They quoted me up front, so it wasn't nice it used to be like 250 you would get 250 oh, that's ridiculous, yeah yeah, I bet a
Speaker 1:bunch of people were leaving it, and that's why they changed yeah, yeah, exactly because I'm like fuck it, I'm gonna leave it or I'm not, I'm not gonna cancel this. So I brought it back and then later on the night it came up again and I let that fucker sit there and I could have done it again and double dipped, but you know what that guy needs to learn Fucking be there. And this was an express order too, so it was like yeah, I wanted immediately.
Speaker 1:Yeah, within two hours. He had ordered that within two hours. Now the only thing I could say is maybe his wife had ordered it and and, you know, maybe she forgot or he ordered it and she forgot, or whatever that there was booze in the account. Now they do tell you, like when you're on your way. You're like, hey, you know you're gonna need to be there for an id. Yeah, um, so I let it sit there and no one else took it. I don't know why, but it sat there for another two hours really, I watch it and they even bumped it up to like 28. I still didn't take it. I was like, fuck you, I can make another 28 somewhere else. I'm not. You need to learn to freaking.
Speaker 1:Be there when you order food and alcohol especially yeah, alcohol yeah you got to be there, but and then today I went out a little less productive. Today, um, I have a feeling that I'm going to be more productive at night and I think I might switch my mindset. And you know, just maybe because I last summer I used to just get up in the morning, like I did for busing, and get out there and I'm like you know what, I think I'm gonna sleep in and that will sleep in till seven yeah, are you slacker right, god um and and so yeah, I think I might change it up a little bit.
Speaker 1:But today I did two alcohol runs for uber in the middle of the day, like I bought. I took a picture of it, I didn't share it on here, but I bought bought a big bottle of Johnny Walker the red label yeah, $50. Two things a Gatorade and two hungry man. Salisbury steaks that was the order. I'm like okay, okay, so I got their priorities.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So and then I did another like a truly, which I was kind of sad with because it was I'm not kidding you, larry, it was like 10, 30 in the morning and I go there and I was like, hey, how's your day? You know I'm always friendly. And uh, she was like, oh, just waiting for my daughter to get up. As I hand her a 24 pack of truly, I'm like, ooh, good luck there, good luck Right. And uh, I did post a tiktok. I don't know, I feel like tiktok shadow banning us, but anyways, I posted tiktok. It's got no views and it's fucking funny. It's basically says we shop, we deliver and don't judge, and it was a picture of the booze. You know what I mean. So I kind of feel like that's true, like we shouldn't judge. But I did kind of be like you're waiting for your daughter to get up and anyways, I mean, truly is basically water anyway, so let's just leave it there.
Speaker 3:I don't even know what truly is. It's a seltzer.
Speaker 1:It's a hard seltzer. Yeah, they're gross unless they've improved. All right Stories from the road, or don't that? We already did that? Gig economy in the news. So this guy, guy people were losing their mind with this. Uh, you know, the title says keep your hands out of your pants while delivering so we'll watch this and kind of break it down, but I I I think I'll have a different take than what you all have.
Speaker 2:So here we go after ordering food from doordash, many people got upset over what these delivery drivers did when dropping off her food. But the moment they drop it off by the door, this guy made the customer not want to eat her food over what he does next.
Speaker 1:The grunt. The grunt. So for the audio listeners um, like I said, he, he, he put his hand, he now he wasn't touching the food, it was his, his girlfriend or whatever.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was just walking with her and, you know, I guess you could defend him that way. What's that? I guess you could, you know, say, okay, it was all right, because he wasn't touching the food right.
Speaker 1:So um you know, as a male, we have junk down there and and when it's just sometimes we got to adjust, even if it's, even if it's wintertime sometimes. You got to adjust, but you gotta know again not in front of a ring doorbell no, even if you don't think that there's one there, there's probably one there.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. Like don't stick your hand on your pants to adjust your balls. Yeah, christina's like. What did I just get myself into? I think she's probably from steve. Don't stick your hands on your pants, adjust your balls while you're delivering the food. Can you wait till you get in the hall, or something?
Speaker 3:yeah, or back to your car or something not right in front of their door, where, yeah, I mean yeah, who knows if they're looking out the you know the peephole or, like said, ring doorbell camera. And yeah, you know, just you know a little better timing right.
Speaker 1:So my opinion is, honestly, I don't think it's that bad. I mean, people are like, oh no, I'm like, first of all, the amount of shit that probably happens that you don't see Is probably 10 times Worse than that it may be, which is why I don't order food. Yeah, the more and more I do these shows and look for Videos and stuff like I don't even have to.
Speaker 3:We see a lot yeah we see a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't want to do that anyways. I mean, obviously, larry, me, you know everyone in here, of course. I mean, if you're in here, like enjoying the show, you're not out there sticking your hands on your pants while you're delivering, you're being conscientious of stuff like that, sticking your hands on your pants while you're delivering, you're being conscientious of stuff like that. But it's kind of the same thing when that that video I posted about people filling drinks and they need to quit being bitches and just fill them, you know like, oh, they're gross. I mean, yes, he did stick his hand out of his pants, but he technically wasn't touching the food. Now, if he was touching the food, yeah, technically, wasn't touching the food.
Speaker 3:Now, if he was touching the food, yeah, yeah, that's all different. But again it comes down to the timing thing. If he just would have waited to do it so she didn't see it, she would, she would have never known that two seconds later he, you know, he's, he's rearranging his junk, and she would have had her food and would have been just fine. But you don't stand right in front of their door, right in front of their doorbell and do it.
Speaker 1:It's just, yeah, I think it would have been fine. I mean, honestly, we need to. We need to stop like freaking out so much about somebody touched something, except like my phone. Like so, with no, no, no, listen, no, no, no, listen. Let me explain. Let me explain when I do, I'll call delivery. You're supposed to get a signature. I sign it for them. I don't want to hand my phone to them. A they're gonna knock, they're gonna drop it. And b do my hands are dirty. I don't know where your hand's been. Do you want to touch the phone? The phone screen, I think, is a little different. But if he actually did hand that pizza box, like, did that? I mean, well, I would not eat it, granted, would it really do anything to that person? It's not like they're touching the food, it's just an outside of the box. Yeah, you're. What's your opinion on that?
Speaker 3:no, I mean, it's just, uh, it's a mental thing. You know, you see that and you're like, oh my god, like I said, if he would have been the one carrying the pizza right before he handed the pizza over. He reaches down and rearranges himself and then he's handing the box. In your mind you're wondering what else? Yes, that's the problem?
Speaker 3:you don't know, you don't know you don't know and yeah you're you're gonna worry about that and yeah, you're not gonna eat the pizza yeah, if you were to do I know you, I know you've done a few sparks.
Speaker 1:What is your thought on taking bananas? This is solely random, not really random. Do you bag your bananas, like if you're going to get a bunch of bananas for somebody, do you bag them? Now, when I say bag them, taking the little thin plastic bag, yeah. Or do you just put them in your cart?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I'm trying to verify.
Speaker 1:I mean, what do you do in your life? I mean, we're not big banana eaters at our house, so we aren't either, um, and my wife does the large majority of what the fuck do you even do in the household. In the household, yeah, your wife does everything every time we have a story my wife does this, my wife does that, my wife doesn't let me do I'm married? Well, clearly, bubba sushi, puts it in a bag I don't, I don't. If I, I mean yeah, you're not eating, you're not eating the peel.
Speaker 1:I mean, I guess somebody could eat the peel, but you're a serial killer if you do that. Yeah, yeah, you got bigger problems. You got bigger problems. I mean, this is, you know, we're not third world country. You can, you know, peel it off and eat the, the banana inside.
Speaker 3:I would, because, I mean, I mean, the bananas are out there at the store, they're not bagged, they're out there. Anybody can, of course, sneeze on them yeah, yeah, like, think about tomatoes.
Speaker 1:Like you're sneak, everyone's sneezing and coughing. If you don't wash that shit, yeah, like, anyways, we're getting in the weeds, or?
Speaker 3:the traveler you're 100 correct, you're 100 correct.
Speaker 1:He struck out in his first one same, we both struck out. Second one fucking winners for both of us.
Speaker 3:All right, moving on from that, what I'm not getting into, that, what you, you know. This isn't my second Remember. Is it your third Remember? This came out when I was on threads and y'all were shocked, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:We and Ben couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1:But that one didn't count though.
Speaker 3:We had no idea, y'all, you were such a heathen. We would never had you on our show.
Speaker 1:That's true. Do you bag an orange? Yeah, bag an orange. Yeah, you know why I do bag an orange. You know why?
Speaker 3:Because it rolls around. Yeah, it's easier to carry a bunch of oranges in a bag.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Bananas, you can just sit down. They're not going anywhere, yeah.
Speaker 1:Now, obviously, when I go to checkout I put the like I'm sure I have more than bananas. I'll put those in a, you know, a regular grocery bag, which, god, the Walmart bags are about as thin as those plastic chains.
Speaker 3:Oh man you sneeze wrong and the things break open.
Speaker 1:They are horrible. You put three cans of corn in there and I double bagged that shit because I don't need it breaking. Yeah, I forgot it was three. Oh, my bad, that one didn't count. It was so short, wasn't that so short, though?
Speaker 3:No, the first was three years.
Speaker 1:That's short, mine was three.
Speaker 3:The first was three years, that's short, mine was three. The second one was 16.
Speaker 1:Too long. The second one was too long. Don't say anything. I'm not saying anything. He's red and awkward y'all. When you get Larry to be quiet, he wants me to move on. All right, I gave this specifically for Larry this next article, because he has a boner Speaking of marriage for drones, and we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, so this is about wing and company called Wing and Walmart. So they they have partnerships to do some deliveries and they're expanding that delivery out to 100 new stores and the wing drones are really really cool to a hundred new stores and the wing drones are really really cool. Um, so it looks like they're going to expand it into stores in Atlanta, charlotte, houston, orlando and Tampa. Uh, it's company, wing, is owned, by alphabet, you know, the same company that owns Google. Um, so they're partnering with, uh, five new cities. Like I said, um, let's see, this is when they're starting. Um, again, they're they're still, they're still somewhat limited into what they can carry. I think they said um, their their flagship drone, the one that they use most, will handle up to two and a half pounds, which is not not a lot but, it's newer models can hold up to, you know, twice that, which is, which is, you know, five pounds.
Speaker 3:They have enough battery power to complete a 12-mile round trip, and they cruise at a top speed of 65.
Speaker 1:Oh that's boogieing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's getting it. And they use tethers and hooks to pick up and drop off small bags and boxes on the customer's front lawns. It says it's completed over 450,000 residential deliveries since Wings' inception in 2012. They also do drone deliveries for DoorDash in Dallas and Charlotte in North Carolina. So it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3:So they're always trying to think of other ways to kind of improve their efficiency and make it a better experience. So one thing that they've done that I've not heard of any other drone companies doing is they've created a system that they can have their drones dynamically take pickup and delivery jobs back to back without needing to go back to a base station. So they can go to a store, pick up a load, drop it off at the customer's house, go to another store oh wow, pick up a load. So what they do is they have these called auto loader stations and they install those at the retailers parking lots. Employees can go out and load, have you know, prepare an order, bring it out there and when the drone is, you know, is ready, it can, it can get there, lowers a rope to grab it and takes off Dude.
Speaker 1:So yeah, lowers a rope to grab it and takes off dude. So yeah, that's pretty cool. You know what made me think of with doordash?
Speaker 2:so they have like the dash marts and there's one in grand rapids.
Speaker 1:In fact, I have an app that, uh, I didn't talk about. Maybe we'll talk about that on the patreon, but it's called get gigs, um, and they looking for workers at that. They actually it's not a horrible pay rate. It's like late, late hours at night because I've obviously doordash is probably busy. The dash marks, the dash marks, yeah yeah, that's where the hoodies came from yeah, yeah, so what? My point was like the drones, I mean they're already there, they'll just sit out there, the drone will drop.
Speaker 1:They just sit on the table, probably, and where it goes yep, they pack it.
Speaker 3:You know, pack it up, set it out there. Whenever the drone gets done with its other order, it comes out. You don't have to coordinate with them, you know with the employees. They'll just set it out there and drone picks it up.
Speaker 1:The problem is two and a half pounds, I mean you're talking about pounds.
Speaker 3:Now the new ones are five.
Speaker 1:Okay, now we're now we could do, you know, a regular like mcdonald's meal with a drink. You could probably. Yeah, that'd be under five pounds yeah um, but yeah, I think this is going to be the future. I think the problem is is like, just like everything, you have all these companies. So now you get the doordash drones, and then you're going to have the uber eats drones and then they're all of a sudden. You know this has happened with pickleball.
Speaker 1:The noise level from a pickleball core is absurd you're, now you're gonna have drones that are like you know you know, I mean I know it's not super loud, but like if you're doing five pounds you gotta have some pretty hefty propellers on there yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3:And especially, like I said, they go 65 miles an hour.
Speaker 1:So that's, that's scooting for a drone yeah, unless they're able to go up higher um to reduce the sound until they get to their destination. But 65 is hauling, especially birds, you know. Remember they're driving bird's eye view. They're literally have nothing to stop them, like traffic lights, so they can get there pretty fast yeah, so, um.
Speaker 3:So, if you want to order from, you have to live within six miles of one of the stores. Uh, that's, that's an faa rule, um real coverage yeah, it governs drone operations beyond visual line of sight, because obviously these drones you're, they're not going to be line of sight, no, anybody. So, yeah, and it needs to be under, you know, a certain weight, since they cover everything from groceries to health and wellness products. To how, so good, as long as it's, you know, if it's under the five pounds very cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I this one thing I really like. I did have a drone for a while. I bought, uh, the dgi like the the really that's the brand, right, is it dg? Oh, dgi, yeah, yeah and I bought it and it was like 350, right, and it like that was pricey for me and it was like uh, the mini, the mini, something mini mavic yeah, the mini mavic that motherfucker wouldn't go like it'd go like 400 yards and I'd start losing like signals.
Speaker 1:I ended up selling it to actually, I sell it to nolte's father-in-law, um, for like 300 bucks. I think it might have been more than that, may have been 400 bucks, but yeah, I, I, if I'm gonna get one, I'm gonna have to spend one that I want to go like a couple miles yeah, yeah, you know or at least a mile yeah, and the smaller ones.
Speaker 3:You know they of course they get. They get battered about by the wind and stuff a little more. You know it's harder to control and things like that. So, yeah, if you, if it's something you're really going to get into, I would probably need to be prepared to spend a little bit of money. And I know we bought one for my son a long time ago. It was like I don't know, like 90 dollars or something. Yeah, we've taken out a few times. That's in high school and uh, yeah, like there's twice. It's like we're never seeing this drone again because it just, you know, right, we lost it and I don't know how we ended up finding it in both times. So we did it's really fun.
Speaker 1:It's really fun to fly and, honestly, if you're getting it for you know your kids baseball games or you know you're looking at a roof, get it. It's a high def camera.
Speaker 1:Uh, I mean, do they say high def camera anymore? What like big megapixel? I don't know. It was a great camera and you know it would. It was fun, I really enjoyed, enjoyed doing that and but yeah, like I said, I was kind of like so when I bought it, the and I know it's been a while since you've been my house later, but behind us they put it in that big development well, I bought it to, kind of I was gonna do like a see how it's going and I barely got to the other end of that thing and the fucking thing would like oh really and I was like, eh, no, thanks, yeah, yeah, yeah, drones are wild.
Speaker 3:Like, uh, I told you we went to that football game in st louis a ufl football game, uh, this weekend and, um, I noticed it last game. They had these little drones and they fly them like bright up, like you know, they have, you have the. You have the two teams you know lined up for plays. They have the, you have the. You have the two teams you know lined up for plays. They have that drone like within like five feet of those players, flying around all the time.
Speaker 1:You got to be a good pilot Cause you could kill, you could knock an eye out with that.
Speaker 3:If there's only one time when we were there and uh and one of the rest was running down the field and he made a sudden left-hand turn and he, like he, had to jerk his head back because that drone was right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean, you got it, and I would feel like those guys that are flying those probably have the screen on there. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3:Like for me when I was flying it.
Speaker 1:I can't remember. Was it on? Well? No, it was on your phone, I guess.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's how that's ours was yeah.
Speaker 1:But I feel and they have like a separate controller so that they can see it. So it's like a what is it? Point of view where you're just like.
Speaker 3:You're like sitting in the drone driving it yeah, flying, but yeah it's and man, they, they fly, I think, like constantly the whole game, and they'll swap them. You know you'll see them fly down, swap it out for another one or swap batteries or whatever all the time, but they're just right there. I mean, they have the sky cams too, which you know they've had right for years on the, on the cables.
Speaker 1:But these things, man, they're just right up you're never gonna get a better camera shot than from a drone. It's just you can't beat it, so that's for sure. Uh, so this is a video of uh, well, uh, we've played these before, but I don't know. I kind of like this guy, but this is a door dash. Uh, that doesn't speak to the restaurant hello, sir.
Speaker 4:How can I help you? What are you showing me? Pal for a door dash. Okay, can you read me the name please, sir. Stop doing that. That's not helping. Just tell me the name for amanda. Just give us a minute then why are you throwing me the peace sign? Oh, you have two orders. Alright, just give us a second, we'll get it out. It's gonna be like two minutes, pal. Alright, bro. Sir, the orders didn't have a drink. Oh for you. Yeah, you could buy a drink, bro. It's only been one minute. I'll give it to you. This. One time Is everything. Okay, I don't speak grunts, bro. What do you want? Napkins, forks, what, bro? What?
Speaker 1:I'm going to just give you everything bro, what I'm gonna just give you everything. I gotta say I love that guy's mustache, though that's a fucking bitchin mustache.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, you got it going on yeah, I mean, this is the only thing I can think of is not silver lining, but I do feel like maybe a lot of people that can't speak English do gig work like that and they can't really communicate. I don't know. I feel like you should make some attempt to learn a little bit of like I don't know At least conversational.
Speaker 1:Something Just to like, you know. I mean, obviously that guy was over exaggerating, like you know. Give me and then give me a free drink too, like that's wild. I've been offered a free drink, but I've never yeah, yeah, yeah, I've.
Speaker 3:I've been given, especially back during covid man and they. You know, there's a lot of times they would give you a free drink. I got a free uh, free drink at taco bell one night man, yeah the baja blast oh, man made my night have you do.
Speaker 1:You know baja blast. They do a dirty one now where they put vanilla cream in it that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know they're experimenting with some different flavors and things like that.
Speaker 1:I have not tried it oh man, dirty sodas are the best. That's like the new thing now. I don't know why. It's just like coming around.
Speaker 3:Maybe it's been yeah, I've heard dirty dr pepper yeah, it's all.
Speaker 1:Basically it's all like a little vanilla cream and it like totally changes the the flavor, not not in a bad way, but you know what I mean. Yeah, I try it, you try it. You. He's like I'm kind of a baha blast og, like don't fuck with my baha blast. Uh, no, yeah, I do remember covid, because you know you, you were the only ones that went inside. Like everyone else had to go through the drive-thru and some of the restaurants. Sometimes they made us go through it too, but yeah, you'd be sitting in there. They'd be like, hey, you want a drink?
Speaker 3:like fuck yeah, I was this. When I got the bob last, I was in the drive-thru. Oh you gotta know the drive-thru. Yeah, yeah, they know you're doing door, that you know you're being a door that short and he's like hey, man, you want something to drink. He's like yeah, man, I'll take a blast. He gave me a large blast like dude, appreciate you. He's like I know you're out here getting it, you know yeah, we are making yeah, nobody else coming through here.
Speaker 1:40 for a cheeseburger order back. Oh god, fucking money was so nice for that. All right, moving on. Moving on, another TikTok Christian Door Dasher reacts to Ouija board, so we'll play that and have some comments. Thank you, have you ever done this? No, it's just we like.
Speaker 3:Halloween around here. Oh really, yeah. Did you guys actually know? I don't know if you know Jesus.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do, thank you.
Speaker 3:But did you know that this is an open door to the enemy?
Speaker 1:It's a Hasbro game, I know, but it's also an Ouija board. No, it's a Hasbro game Hasbro game. Yeah, it's a game for kids, kids. Yeah, this is a game for kids. It's not real. That stuff's not real but hey, you have a good one right, I have a good one too oh, oh, man you know, I mean, uh, I remember ouija boards was scary.
Speaker 3:When you're a kid, you're like oh man, this is this, you know, um, but yeah, open door to. First I didn't know. I realized what she was saying. The caption said anime oh, did it I didn't even read and I was like open door to the anime. I heard it the second time when I watched it.
Speaker 1:Open door to the enemies yeah, I kind of missed a little bit what she was saying. But, um, but ouija board. So I never, I always. So I grew up in, my parents sent me to church. I, you know, I went to church twice a week. I I don't anymore, but that's another story. Um, I went to christian school, so, like, the ouija board was like oh man, you don't talk about that and obviously I never experienced it. Um, is it truly like a hasbro game, like? I know the ouija board came from back from the day, but hasbro is like marketing it now yeah, no, yeah, I mean I think I think hasbro was marketing back then.
Speaker 3:I think, yeah, I think it was something did you buy? But uh, yeah, I mean, I, I remember it. You know, like a bunch of kids over at the house or a birthday party or something you know, get out the ouija board and uh, you know, some people really freak out, okay, so like, this is me being ignorant like what was it?
Speaker 1:a legit like uh door to like the evil, no I mean like is there? Is there proof somewhere? Like you know, the exorcist of emily rose. Like I watched that movie too, like I believe in exorcism, for sure, like that's just real.
Speaker 3:But I I don't know of anything that would would prove it, but I'm one of those people I'm like don't don't mess why mess?
Speaker 3:with that why? Why f around with that stuff when there's not any? Because you know, uh, strange things can happen yeah, for sure things out there. So but yeah, I mean it is, you know it's marketed as uh, I'm sure it is, you know, sold by hasbro or something like that. No, yeah, and you always wonder, you know, when stuff happens you're like all right, you know, you always could pretty much tell okay, all right, we know who's moving it, we know who's doing it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean in regards to like Supernatural, that shit is real, like it's going to happen.
Speaker 3:Dave said it's going to happen in Nashville?
Speaker 1:Oh, we'd be playing it. I, I got the 411 for my friend faith. We'll be playing a game, but ain't gonna be a ouija board. We're playing a couple games. So you better, you better, like games, better, bring your a game. You better, you literally better bring your a game and money. Um, so, to lose a lot of it gambling, um, what was I gonna say? Oh, I do believe in spirits like as much as I'm not super religious right now.
Speaker 3:That shit's real yeah, that shit is real, but I don't know the the ouija board.
Speaker 1:I feel like someone was moving that shit every time, like it was all set up, like one person knew the joke, yeah, but uh, all right, speaking of nashville and faith, so faith does, um, she's a big amazon flexer and she does a lot of well. Let's, let's be frank, she doesn't do a lot of them.
Speaker 3:She signs up she gets paid for a lot of she gets paid for a lot of them.
Speaker 1:And then she does spark, um, yeah, she's, she's a, she's hustling, and then yeah, and we're not talking bad about it, we're just jealous oh, no, no, I, I, I throw her under the bus.
Speaker 1:I talk shit about her all the time because I'm so fucking pissed at. About three times a week now she is still getting up at 3 30 in the morning, but sometimes she gets those blocks canceled the night before. I'm like amazon is the the? I mean maybe because they have so much money, it doesn't matter to them, but can you imagine giving away as much money as they do? No, it'd make me sick to my stomach.
Speaker 1:I mean as a boss, I would be like how can we sustain this? And then you look at your checking account, you're like, oh, there's $3 trillion in the account. We're good, it's fine there's three trillion in the account.
Speaker 3:We're good it's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think we'll make it just get the package of the customer. I want drivers ready. If we don't have packages, fuck them, pay them and send them home, so anyway she gets a lot ready tomorrow. So she was delivering and she got this note uh, which we all get notes and says delivered a blue gray garage and a black and white mat with a ring camera very evident, and use google master directions. There are two different steinbecks. I don't even know what the fucking steinbeck that's their, that's their probably.
Speaker 1:Uh uh, their last name maybe oh, okay, yeah, uh, and just for reference, faith is in the vegas area. Do not deliver to the wrong one, thanks. There is a red fire hydrant next to the house, so this, this message is kind of rude, like a little bit, and the guy's obsessed with colors. Okay, so there's that. So the face sends this next picture apparently they've updated the color, and this I mean obviously she went to the wrong house yeah, obvi, you know, like, like it doesn't put the pin right up the person's asshole. Okay, so that's the yellow hydrant.
Speaker 1:And she fucking wrote this and put it on the package your hydrant is yellow, not red.
Speaker 3:What With red and a big red X to it, just like your sixth grade English teacher.
Speaker 1:That is freaking wild. I love that so much. I love it when people in our telegram group can provide content, because I I couldn't believe she that I wouldn't have the balls.
Speaker 3:Hey, much respect to face for doing that. Yeah, I think it's great yeah I, I.
Speaker 1:I think it's great that she did that. More people need that. The problem is with those notes, which probably happened is he hasn't updated them or she hasn't updated them.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean you know, there's even today I had an alcohol delivery and it uh, I don't know if I can shut this off. When it pulls up it announces like the instructions for uber. It tells me like hey, leave on the front porch. And I'm like why have alcohol? And the guy was there, thank god I. Whenever I see that I figure it's going to be a minor trying to sneak booze, right? Steve says, with all that money, why don't they pay drivers properly? I mean, yeah, whatever, I mean we can talk about that until blue in the face, but that's never going to change. Why don't they pay their employees properly? Yeah, I mean you're getting paid good money to deliver for Flex. You want to go do work for Amazon. You make $18 an hour and you're delivering 400 packages a day. That's bullshit.
Speaker 3:There ain't no way I would do that yeah, you can turn off those Uber announcements.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can, I'm sure. Yeah, and you're set yeah.
Speaker 3:So yeah, apparently the Fire Hydrant. I don't know, maybe they got painted since the last, since a person wrote that, cause there ain't no way that's even close to red.
Speaker 1:Well, the guy I mean, I do like good notes. I absolutely do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, especially if it's helping in there and you know there are times when places are confusing and you know, uh, it really helps out a lot. But yeah, not if you're going to give them directions, give them the right directions.
Speaker 1:So last night, speaking of that in good directions, it was kind of not in the hood of delivery, but it was in a, it was I don't know. Anyways, they're like there's a blue pontiac gto, that's an older car, not not the gtos from the days, but like when they brought it back, or gt or I don't know. I think it's gto or gt, doesn't matter and then another car in the other driveway. You can leave it at any door. So, like they've given me the option, I pulled there that thing flat tires in the driveway. But I'm like, hey, it's there, right, they can use it. And and it's an updated note, so why do I care? Um, but that guy for her. I mean, people get condescending because maybe one driver couldn't find it or something, so then they go in there and be cocks about it. So I don't know.
Speaker 3:I'm glad she did that. I am too, especially since he had the wrong color.
Speaker 1:Right, that's even the best. Update your notes If you're going to be a jerk to people in the notes.
Speaker 3:you better be accurate, you better be right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oof you better be accurate you better be right. Yeah, oof, let's go, I'll be talking about that in nashville, I'll, I'll be. I'll be loving that. I'm gonna be talking about that, okay, uh, let's see, larry, yeah, so uh you're the ride.
Speaker 3:Share king gabe is technically but yeah, gabe's definitely the ride share king out of the three of us, because I don't know if I've ever done an Uber reservation, and I hate people.
Speaker 3:For audio listeners. This is a reservation request and it's a trip bundle, so two trips. It says it's going to pay $32.24 altogether. The first trip says 13 minutes, 10, 10 miles. It's going to pay 1872. And then the second one's going to pay eight minute, eight minute long trip, uh, five miles, it's gonna pay 1352. But the bad part is, after the first trip it says 22 minutes before your next pickup yeah, they're basically.
Speaker 1:They're basically bundling, which is it's not a bad idea, especially if you're you're gonna do reservations, uh. But yeah, sitting for 22 minutes. I mean, will they pay you for that? I mean again, what do we get?
Speaker 3:10 cents a minute, so yeah, no, I don't, I don't, I don't know. These are upfront prices. This is what you're getting oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true. I forgot about that. Duh, what am I back in 2016? Um, yeah, that's true. Like I don't know if I do that.
Speaker 1:Um yeah, so that's 22 minutes, that's 35, so it's like 43 minutes all together for like 31, which isn't horrible, but I, I wouldn't do it but here's the thing if it's summertime, like right now, I mean shit can be slow, like I might do that if I was out working that early or I had taken somebody to the airport. Like yeah, whatever, I might do that yeah, it's 5 10 am.
Speaker 3:I had to look at that too. 5 10 am. There might not be a whole lot else going on.
Speaker 1:No, no, um, but I feel like this trip anyways should I mean. Oh, so the whole trip is 15 miles. I guess it's not horrible. I mean that five mile one for 13 bucks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, not bad at all, it's just yeah. The big thing is for me is the weight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cause we to wait, yeah because we there's nothing that makes a gig worker so antsy is like waiting, like waiting at a traffic light, especially if you're uh, I said this to gabe today. I was road raging today. By the way, I sent him a lot of messages in the middle. I just, I just fucking pissed at drivers, yeah, but nothing will make you be more pissed when you have like a double stack where you like you have to go do one and get to another one and you're on a time limit. Oh my god. So that that would make me be like, okay, I'm sitting still, I need to fucking do something.
Speaker 3:So yeah, I would make me mad as you. You do the first one.
Speaker 1:You wait the 22 seconds 22 minutes and the second one cancels. Ah, but well, at least your cancellation is a lot higher.
Speaker 3:On those reservations well, I wouldn, I wouldn't know. I've never done it. Like I said, we never have reservations.
Speaker 1:Why don't you freaking?
Speaker 3:do some work, dude. Well, I do work here, but we just don't have them.
Speaker 1:You have no reservations.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I've ever seen an Uber reservation here. I've seen Lyft. Okay, you know planned trips or scheduled trips, right, but reservation on Uber?
Speaker 1:No, gabe, shut off, shut off, shut off. I meant to say fuck off and I said shut off. I went shut off, shut off.
Speaker 3:You're having a stroke over here.
Speaker 1:Those are private conversations, gabriel. Yes, all right, moving on, let's see, here we go. Weibo in the news, all right. So obviously you know we don't talk about. You know current events, much other than gig work and the LA shit that's going on. I think Josh sent me this, so we'll play this and not looking good for the way most. So, first of all, y'all are standing real close to an EV. That's burning.
Speaker 3:That's with those batteries and yeah, that is not good for your health.
Speaker 1:Well, not only that, I think the firefighters they had to take extra training and shit like that. I don't know if it has a risk of explosion, but maybe it would probably be more risk with gasoline. But that's way too close for me.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah, yeah, you're really taking a chance there, because I know they've talked about, uh, a lot of the firefighters before you know, before they realize exactly what they need to do. I mean they say, within minutes of getting there and you breathe some of that smoke in your throat's just on fire, really respiratory problems and yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 1:Bad, I mean, it makes sense, it's straight up, I mean, and they burn so hot.
Speaker 3:I mean they most of the times they can't put them out.
Speaker 1:They don't have, they don't have the stuff to put them out yeah, I feel like I saw something where they have blankets now where they can throw over the car and uh, but yeah, so is in regards to the way, most for the audio listeners, it was a bunch of waymo cars on fire. Um, I'm not sure why waymo didn't recall, why they thought that that wasn't. I mean, there was like five or six of them in a row, so I don't know where they were, where they caught them, yeah, but I don't know why waymo didn't pull them back. I mean, I mean, what, what? What were they running those cars? Were there jaguars or were they? Yeah, I think so. I mean, you're talking like a probably seventy thousand dollar car with all those sensors probably another 30 grand, 40 grand worth of sensors.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't think so so a hundred thousand just letting it burn, yeah yeah, I'm gonna look up see what, how much they cost. But yeah, I mean, unless you know, I mean that stuff can turn pretty quick. True, they don't want to just pull it out. Uh, you know, if they don't, if they think they can still make money.
Speaker 1:Yeah as well, larry's looking that up. I mean, on a somewhat political level, I'm glad that protests can happen that's why we live in this country but don't you can't fucking loot and and burn other people's property and and shit like that. I mean, yeah, I, I loved it. They were fucking with ice. I mean I was dying laughing Cause I like I fucking hate that that's going on. But don't fucking burn. I mean people are robbing the Apple store and the Jordan store.
Speaker 3:It's like it's like most of these things. It seems like the large majority of people. They're not doing it because it has nothing to do with ice. They're just doing it because it's an excuse for them to be a bug.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly that's all it is, it said uh waymo cars.
Speaker 3:Uh, you know man, jaguar eye pace is around 73, 73 000.
Speaker 1:All the sensors and stuff, uh, total costs between 150 and 200 000 oh, so I was way off on the total cost then, but at least, well, the jaguar, um yeah, that's too bad.
Speaker 3:I mean, I know what are you accomplishing about by destroying these waymo cars? Not a damn thing. Or looting an apple store? What does that have to do with immigration?
Speaker 1:and nothing I'm fine with getting a lit, like I mean, I'm probably gonna get hate for this, but I'm fine with like, fucking with ice, smashing their cars, whatever. But as soon as you fuck with someone's business, they don't have anything to do with it. I draw the line there like fuck off, like, and I don't want anyone to get hurt either. Um, you know so I shouldn't condone smashing the the police cars, but, um, it's just. This is not solving anything and I feel bad for the people that are protesting and and doing it the right way. But this is bad.
Speaker 1:This is bad. Shit's burning and Trump doesn't sound like he's going to fuck around and find out, so I'd be a little nervous in LA right now. So all right off soapbox.
Speaker 3:Steve said Waymo's are actually around 300,000.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Steve. I don't know if you knew Steve is a CEO or part CEO of Waymo too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so he probably knows how many he owns he owns like what?
Speaker 1:four of them, four, yeah, he's got his own business over there. I mean, you could tell me it was $2 million. I'd probably fucking believe you. I don't know what the hell technology is in there. You know what I mean? We can only base it on what google tells us. So, uh, octopus tablet real quick. We'd love to get this in your car. In fact, we did have a few people sign up for that. Uh, this is octopus tablet. It has trivia games for your riders if you're doing ride share, it is fucking amazing. Larry and I both love it. I currently don't use it because I'm not doing rideshare. Uh, I think larry sent his back to.
Speaker 3:uh oh, you still got yours. Okay, my bad, we're using mine.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's right. Maybe there are some issues with I don't know, but anyways, they're a great company. Uh, unfortunately, you can connect it with uber, which actually takes away all the games. So I recommend to you um, what'd you say? Don't do it. Well, yeah, don't link it right as of right now you have the option and, honestly, the second they make you force you to do it. I'm done talking about them.
Speaker 3:Yeah like I ain't gonna do it no more, because I tested out for a couple weeks with it hooked. Uh, because you know I wanted to give it a chance because, yeah, the games are gone but it prompts them to tip on on the, on the tablet and I'm making more tips. Absolutely, I'll give it, I'll give it a shot, but I did not find that to be the case and you know your, your case, your mileage may vary yeah, and it's all about the money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, honestly, test it out see what happens. You can always unlink it yeah, so it's a great app, it's a great service, uh I love the games passengers nighttime crowd especially, and they're very. They're very driver focused. They give a lot of money away. There's a lot of contests and stuff like that. So all the time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they always got stuff going on and they do a great job of updating the app with new information depending on what's going on, and whether it's a kentucky derby or the nba or nhl finals whatever's going on, they've got content that deals with it, for sure last thing I want to talk about is lyft induces.
Speaker 1:Uh, this is lyft. Uh, uber's little brother. Uh, introduces some driver safety features. Uh, now, mind you, I I had to look at the date because I was like they don't have the pin thing for lyft yet, so that's the first thing they're offering a four digit pin verification. And I again, we talk about so much stuff that I'm so like I read it and I was like this can't, no, like I gotta look at the, you do the same thing, don't you?
Speaker 3:yeah, you're like. Larry sent me some old shit he found no, like two years ago yeah.
Speaker 1:So I looked at the day. So apparently they're offering the four-digit PIN verification. I mean, it's literally just like Uber. There's not a lot of talk about there. Now this one worry for your cancellations. Again, uber does this already. If you are a driver and you feel uncomfortable, you can cancel without penalty. Uber's had that for what? Two years, I swear. It's been a while since we talked about it. Two years, I swear, like it's been a while since we talked about it, uh. And the last thing they uh added and this is relatively new for uber 2 is live trip audio recording. Now I'm going to read this verbatim, and this is written by the ride share guy and this is not any shade against him, but when you read it, I I'm curious if you pick something up.
Speaker 1:Lift has introduced an in-app auto recording feature to enhance safety during rides. Available to both drivers and riders, this tool allows users to record audio directly through the app, either automatically or on demand. Users can choose to always record, record only at night or initiate recording manually during a ride. Recordings are encrypted and stored on the user's device for seven days, ensuring privacy and control. In the event of a safety concern, users can attach the audio file to a safety report submitted to let to lift safety team. Importantly, drivers are notified that a ride may be recorded, prompting transparency. This feature underscores list committed commitment to safety, blah, blah, blah. So it's. It's. It's not the driver that's turning on, it's the passenger. And so they have access to it because, the way it shows, you attach it to an email. So I thought that was interesting, because I think Ubers, it's all recorded and you don't have access to it. They have access to it, but you don't have access to it. Right as far as the driver goes. Now, this is maybe apples to oranges, because this is driver and rider?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it could be. I mean, uber passengers have have the ability to record the ride too yeah, but do they have access to the, to the file? Yeah, I don't know, I don't remember reading that um so it'd be a good thing to try, and if we you know next time we take an uber, you know two years from now, whenever well, I mean honestly, come nashville yeah there's gonna be some.
Speaker 1:I mean we're gonna have to take a few here and there because you know I'm going to bed at 9 30, like I'm not I mean we'll have.
Speaker 3:We'll have like three cars there well, john will be there.
Speaker 1:Well, we can't trust john. Seth will be there.
Speaker 3:Oh, seth is driving too yeah, yeah, I mean he's, he's not that far. He's what, if I want to get a hooker, uh then, then you take john's car that was easy.
Speaker 1:Oh god, I'm definitely clipping that. That's fucking hilarious. All right anyways, uh. So yeah, we don't, we should try to test it out. Um, although then you're gonna have, I'm definitely clipping that. That's fucking hilarious. All right, Anyways. So yeah, we should try to test it out, Although then you're going to have to report a safety thing, Although it's not out of the question that you would report that, because you know people are fucking drivers are fucking crazy.
Speaker 3:That they are.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm glad Lyft is finally getting on the safety train.
Speaker 3:Again, I looked at the date. I know I had to too when I, when I came across it, I had to double check and like is this not stuff that's been going on? But uh, you know, I I'm like welcome to think of it. I don't, I don't see. Yeah, I've never seen it, I've never had to put a pin in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no list app, and so I guess it is new well for sure, and the amount of lift rides I've taken of, uh, you know, even though, let me go back and say, even though uber had the pin for a while, not everyone has it, it's no, no, it's still pretty rare somewhat rare for me to have to put a pin in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure but all right, well, thank you guys for uh tuning into the show. Super appreciate everyone coming over from steve's show. Uh check out ride share rodeo.
