Speaker 4:that's how we communicate back and forth. It's a communication app. It's like texting, but besides doing um, you know, text messages you can also do voice or video messages, which is really cool. Video comes in handy sometimes when we want to show something, and the voice messages comes in handy when you're out driving. You don't want to try to text while you're driving, but sometimes it's easy to just push that button and record a voice message. You can talk with gig workers all around the country. You can get to know them, you can get to know us and you can come on the gig economy picnic. Get together next year.
Speaker 4:we're gonna have to rename it yeah, it's not the picnic at the gig.
Speaker 2:Yeah, get away it's uh, yeah, you got to be, you got to be pretty tight to go on that though, because, uh, we're we're sharing rooms together, we're gonna going to have to do some background checks.
Speaker 4:There's an extensive screening process. It's way deeper than the Uber or Lyft background checks. Yeah, it's a whole thing. Does the sound?
Speaker 2:sound a little bit better. It does. Okay, for some reason, in the settings there is Like you really need to know. There's like yeah, I'm not even explaining so stories from the road. So we had a great time. I'm going to play some videos. You're probably not going to care about them, but we had fun. So there was a lot of gambling and a lot of drinking that went involved. Larry doesn't drink but but he does gamble.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about. Look at me, I can drink my beer right now yeah, your root beer and so we had a great time. So we're going to play. That's going to be kind of stories from the road and let's see. So the first one Faith brought a. What brought a? Uh, what do you call it? Like a, a plastic horse track or horse race.
Speaker 4:It's a little horse game and if you're old enough to remember these, the old football games that vibrated and the football players would go around it's the same concept. Um, there are six tracks, so six little plastic horses. You start them off in the starting gate, you turn it on, it vibrates. You lift the gate and they vibrate down the track. And uh, supposedly you know it's random as to who wins, but we found it on our game Uh, if you didn't get lane two, three or four, you were screwed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, if you got one in, forget about it forget it.
Speaker 4:Five was would never even be halfway down the track by the time the other six in it, like three times out of the several thousand races we're in. Yeah, I don't think one. I don't think I won every, everyone no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2:Well, here's a 10 second video of that three baby three. Oh, come on, it was just a prick tease.
Speaker 4:It was just a prick tease. It was just a fucking tease.
Speaker 1:Oh baby, Any other lane but three. What is?
Speaker 4:that that money on the table was just there for show we were not gambling. We would not do that.
Speaker 2:Right, and that scream at the end was pretty much me. Every time I won, I cleaned up.
Speaker 4:Which was a lot on Saturday. Was it Saturday night or Sunday night? Saturday, saturday night, john cleaned up which was a lot on Saturday.
Speaker 2:Was it Saturday night or Sunday night?
Speaker 4:Saturday, saturday night, john cleaned up Friday night, correct, correct.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, jason was on fire Saturday night. Yeah, I mean on fire.
Speaker 2:I first didn't start out. I was a little, because it was five bucks a match and I'm just like, damn yeah, you didn't even play.
Speaker 4:at first we were playing for a good half hour before you even decided you wanted to try. And we were like come on, jason, just try one. And then he played, and then he won, and then he was all in.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I think I cleared like a hundred bucks on that game over the weekend.
Speaker 4:At $5,. Yeah, everybody pitches in $5. So much fun though. We had a blast. The horse race was great. We, we had a blast, the horse race was great. We had that at our Airbnb. But then Sunday, someone brought it to the. No, it wasn't that. We were playing something different at the bar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I have a video of that.
Speaker 4:It shows you that we will gamble on damn near anything.
Speaker 2:All right, here's one of the videos at one of the bars we were at.
Speaker 3:I want to no, no. Is that your first Delta Ever? You would, we were at Ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they don't do the. Hey, I did it with my pinky and they all gave me shit. They're like do it with your tongue.

Speaker 2:The jello shot. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. That wasn't sensual.
Speaker 4:I'm parking a motor. Yeah, I love racing. They're good.

Speaker 3:Thank you, officer Larry.
Speaker 4:I would not be in curfew please. I would simply be coming down all the roads because I know y'all have credit and I don't want him getting in trouble.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's all going to her, the heat is going to her and him for breaking the plate.
Speaker 1:I'll break more plates than I, Larry.

Speaker 4:We were at the bar at that. At that same bar, we were betting on a little. There's a game, it's just a little app, where it's a uh, a big picture or a graphic of a crocodile mouth yeah, I got a video of that okay, we'll show it later. But yeah, we were betting on that too thank you, taylor thank you.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
Speaker 4:Taylor, I have to drive, thank you.

Speaker 4:Kelly's baby no.
Speaker 2:Mother no, no, boom, god damn it, boom, god dang it.
Speaker 4:So first of all, big shout out to Taylor, our bartender and waitress. She was wonderful taking care of us.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:We're there gambling on this Crocodile game For like four hours. Yeah, so yeah, if you're the last one left Remaining. So yeah, basically you touch a tooth On the crocodile if his mouth closes, you're out. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, if your last one left, uh, remaining. So yeah, basically you touch your tooth on the crocodile if his mouth closes, you're out yeah, uh, the kids there, there's a physical one you can get, but I don't know.
Speaker 2:I was, uh, larry, and I came a little bit later when they went down there and they were already gambling on that. So I'm like I don't know who brought it up or or whatnot, but uh, yeah, that was super fun. It started, but and we came in late. Yeah, we came in late and gabe drank so much there's about an hour of time on that weekend that he does not remember yeah, so yeah, he, uh, he wanted to.
Speaker 4:He wanted to get on a scooter in an inebriated state and luckily uh he was not allowed to do that no, no, he was not so because that is not safe.
Speaker 2:No, it's not. We had a great time.
Speaker 4:It was wonderful to see everybody. It was great to meet Faith. We had a lot of fun just going out and exploring Nashville, having some good food, having some fun, like I said, playing some games, just playing these little games together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it was a good time. You should go to Nashville just for a couple days. Then you'll want to go home. Don't go out at night. If you're older than 40 either. Speak for yourself. No thanks, I'll stick to day drinking. All right stories from the road. Obviously, nashville. I don't think Larry has any gig work. But I came home from Nashville on Monday and then Tuesday.
Speaker 2:Normally I do Market Wagon but I had an appointment. It's kind of a long, short story long. I had an appointment but they didn't have it and then tried to get back at Market Wagon but she already scheduled it, so I didn't have any work. But they didn't have it and then tried to get back in market wagon, but she already scheduled it, so I didn't have any work. So I decided to go out, uh, and I was just driving around, did an uber eats and then I got a curry request. Shoot, I was going to save these text messages, but I guess I saved screenshots of them, but anyways, I didn't load them.
Speaker 2:And it was uh to traverse city and from grand rapids traverse city is about 148 miles. It came in at 118 and I was like ohverse City and from Grand Rapids to Traverse City is about 148 miles. It came in at 118 and I was like oh no, no, and I'd sit on it. I watched it and it kind of went up a little bit and then it went up one more. And then with Curry, they know you're online and they know you're close to the pickup location, which I was like eight minutes from, so they'll send you a text message if no one's going to take it.
Speaker 2:And they were like, hey, will you take it for this much? And of course I wasn't gonna, and. And then they said, well, how much? And I said something like I go, one 75. And then they countered for one 45. And how about this? I was like nope, and then I think it didn't go exactly like that. But then she was like, well, what will you do it for? I was like 175. That's what I'll do it for. And they're like, okay, and freaking, gave me the 175. So it went up 30, 40 bucks, nice. And so I've never really had a text exchange. So clearly there is some negotiation. When they're desperate to get it up and no one's taking it, sure. Now, when they're desperate to get it up and no one's taking it, sure, um, now what I would wanted it for more. Yes, but like, as I get older I'm quite the uh, I'm becoming more introverted. So the weekend was a lot of extrovert.
Speaker 3:So I was like a lot, I can a lot.
Speaker 2:It was a lot it was a lot and I can sit in this car for two hours north and go up to sunny traverse city is a beautiful day, so I did that. The only problem with that is and of course I looked if there were chargers there because I knew I would have to charge. I wasn't going to take it if it was like in the middle of the woods and I didn't have a charger. And there was a bunch of chargers in downtown traverse city. I'm like let's go great. So I'm driving up there and it's kind of busy and and so then I get close, I do my drop and the charger's about three miles north and I get closer and there's people fucking everywhere and then I look and the all the chargers, everything's blocked off because I forgot that on fourth of july week it's cherry festival up in traverse city so carnivals and stages and amusements and all that stuff, and it took me I don't know 20 minutes to get out of Traverse City.
Speaker 2:So I left there and randomly there was a charger at Blaine's Farm and Fleet, I don't know why, and so I sat there and charged and it was a good charger. And then I drove home and then I was almost late for the white caps because you know everything takes a little bit longer than you think.
Speaker 4:Yeah, always.
Speaker 2:You're going to estimate the time in your head and you're doing the math and you're like oh plenty of time.
Speaker 2:And then I'm like, basically drove home, changed into my uniform and drove back and the dumb part of it was that I wish I would have grabbed my uniform, because I drove right past the ballpark on the way home, right there. Yeah, yeah, I could have hung out there and and changed my clothes and and, uh, that would have been fine, but it didn't happen. So josh made a snarky comment um, how was your charity run yesterday? I mean?
Speaker 2:I didn't think it was that bad. I mean I, I made 175 bucks and well, minus my nine dollars for charging. Yeah, and I don't know, I was fine, I was happy with it, so wrong with that? I mean you kind of, was I going to make 175 sarin at home? Absolutely not, not on a random tuesday, uh, in the middle of summer. No, yeah, it's not happening. No, bubba sue says she goes. I'll go day drinking in nashville. See, let's go, bubba sue yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah should have been there, we like, so we had a great time, big, big, big. Uh shout out to jason for putting it all together. He organized everything. Uh try to be and well, as much as you can. You know it's like herding cats, it is like her, but also a big shout out to faith um, coming to stay with, with these, uh, with these yahoos that she didn't know. And not only that, she brought the horse game, she also set up a really fun, nice scavenger hunt.
Speaker 4:Oh, that's right I forgot about that Around Nashville, which we did. It had some fun things that you had to do, like here's some of the ones I had Ask someone what their favorite Southern food is and record their answer Uh, you know, record a stranger saying don't be a dick. Uh, take a picture of a woohoo girl. So we had, we had like eight of these that we had to do and this was the trophy for the winner, which, uh, which I took what does it say?
Speaker 2:it says 2025 gep or gig.
Speaker 4:Yeah gig economy. Oh, podcast gotcha. I was like what the hard gig economy picnic champion I don't know which one that piece supposed to stand for? Yeah, since we didn't picnic, I'm assuming it's podcast. Yeah, we didn't pick it so yeah, thanks to her for doing that. It was great meeting her and, uh, she, she really took some time and effort to kind of put some fun things together for which we all really enjoyed.
Speaker 4:Right and thanks to everybody who came to. Yeah, seth is great to see him, john Gabe, you I mean just a really great time.
Speaker 2:Unlike uh faith, uh, a woohoo girl is not a hooker.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so, yeah, people, I just, I just I'm so used to hearing you know, talking about the term being this close to Nashville. I live an hour from Nashville. I'm down there all the time, so I'm just constant. You know, you hear about Woohoo Girls all the time, but yeah, in case you didn't know, woohoo Girls, they're the bachelorette capital of the world. They have bachelorettes there constantly, and so you'll see the big parties of bachelors riding these party buses.
Speaker 4:They have one that's a hay wagon that's pulled by a tractor. They have one that's a school bus with the roof cut off and a hot tub in the back. This endless party mobiles go down Broadway. We sit there at that restaurant watching the Nathan hot dog contest and probably 80 of them pass by. Yeah, so they'll just be driving through and of course they want to shout out at everybody so they can just yell and they're going. So that's why they get called. Yeah, not because they are hookers. They are. Those are there in nashville too, but but you got to look for those a little bit harder than the, the actual woohoo girl a wee bit, a wee bit, a wee bit.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, all right. Uh, gig economy in the news. Uh, thank you, gabe, for sharing this. The New York Taxi Commission, if you remember, I think in 2024, we talked about New York.
Speaker 2:Uber and Lyft drivers are getting locked out when they were driving because, I don't know, because of the minimum. I think it was Uber and Lyft trying to fight the minimum wage, excuse me, rules, minimum. I think it was uber and lyft trying to fight the minimum wage, excuse me, rules. Um. So they, uh, you know, had to work more to recoup their. You know, it's just because they didn't want to pay so much. You know what I mean. So I guess they've been the the, the union has been, um, has fighting it. So it says on wednesday, the taxi commission voted unanimously to restrict the lockouts. Under new amendments adopted by the agency, uber and Lyft can still impose lockouts. This is interesting. They must give at least a 72 hour notice to affected drivers. Wow, so three day notice, three day notice that you're not going to be able to work on Monday. I guess let's just say, yeah, well, I mean at least you can make other plans?
Speaker 2:yeah, for sure, uh. And the companies can't lock out drivers for at least 16 hours once they start accepting trips. Uber and lyft face a 500 fine for each rule uh violation. And then the updated protections, which also include a five percent pay raise for drivers, going to affect august 1st. So this is great for them. I mean that what we were, I remember when we talked about this. I was so frustrated for them because it's like that. The whole point of you know the gig work is the independent contracting part and working when you want.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, and I mean I be pissed. You're playing, you know you're planning on going out and working all day and you take two rides and all of a sudden you're locked out for eight hours. That that would be, that's be frustrating, as I'll get out. And I mean, obviously we tell people all the time don't put all your eggs in one basket. But we we, most of us generally have the apps that we lean on the most, Of course, and if those go away, then you have to fall back to your kind of second tier apps and you're usually not going to make as much money on them. You're not going to stay as busy just because that's not your usual gig, Right?
Speaker 4:So, yeah, just to be told indiscriminately okay're done for the day.
Speaker 2:yeah, that would suck yeah, I would bet that the uber lyft game in new york has affected them more than probably a lot of people, because I would bet it was very profitable.
Speaker 2:You know even way more than us back in the day and then a lot of people are like, oh you know, because driving is like driving jobs, like driving a taxi or whatever, like that's a big thing in those bigger cities, and for them to come in and kind of lock them out at uh, it kind of sucks. So, um, I mean again, it's, it's the uh, the taxi, taxi and limousine commission. I mean they're, they're kind of employees now really.
Speaker 2:So I mean, if you know, that's that that's the only bad part, right, it's walking a real fine line there, yeah yeah, I, I actually don't mind the prop 22 thing, california, I wouldn't mind that here because I've seen some of those deposits those drivers get and it's like like their health care stipend and stuff like that. I mean there's sizable amounts of money and they can still go on anytime they want. So uh, yeah, but uh, moving on, uh, an imposter driver, larry.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so there's a couple of. They were down in South Florida, uh, to get on a cruise and so they hired you know, an Uber, uh, as people will do, to take them to the cruise ship. It said they'd never taken an Uber before, so they were, you know, they were a little leery anyway, so they got in. This is in Fort Lauderdale taking the Uber from their hotel to it's called Port Everglades where some of the cruise ships dock. So, yeah, first time using it. They said, you know, we were kind of thinking, you know, is this going to be a smooth, you know thing that we do? Or you know, is this going to be a smooth you know thing that we do, or you know? We've just never done it. It was unknown to them.
Speaker 4:They said at first everything looked, you know, just fine. They said when they ordered the uber you know it's the right car that showed up, it was in the app. You know had the uber sign on it. You know the license number. Uh, matched. They said the uber driver had his confirmation. You know the pin code that some, you know some people use, he said. But about 10 minutes after the ride started, said the driver kind of starts looking around his car and you know like he's looking for something and feeling on his seat he's like, oh dang, it seems like I have. I left my wallet somewhere. Um, in port everglades, where the, where the cruise ships are at, everybody that comes through that's over 18 has to show id at the checkpoint to get off the boat.
Speaker 4:Well, just to get into the port, oh so, even even uber drivers have to show their id, okay. So this driver pulls over and asks the passenger if he would drive. She said you've got your passport on you. Why don't you just switch places with me, uh, and drive in, and then you know I'll drive out? Y, why don't you just switch places with me and drive in, and then you know I'll drive out and you'll be good? So the guy you know, obviously being his first Uber ride, he didn't know what to expect. I guess he didn't know this is not a usual thing. So he actually switched with him.
Speaker 4:But when they got to the checkpoint, the police officer said everybody, all of them, had to show their ID. Said everybody, all of all of them, had to show their id. So, um, you know the driver's saying I don't have my id, and the officer's, like show it to me, don't, don't play games with me, don't. Like, don't I understand, act like you don't understand what I'm asking you, you know. So, um, then then the officer took the driver's phone and saw he was supposed to be an uber driver. But he said, hey, this doesn't match what's on the account. It's not the same guy. Of course, it turns out the the guy was using like his somebody in his family.
Speaker 2:Uh, it was their account, and so um oh so even after the id thing he was still like scamming someone else's account well, no, he, he just his.
Speaker 4:Like his brother, it was his brother's account okay, so it was.
Speaker 4:It was right from the get-go he was he was, he'd never been background checked or anything like that he was using his brother's account, um, so then that he, he got, you know, they'd let him out, uh, in handcuffs, and the people are stuck there, uh, you know, they still have a little bit to go, um, and and it's just been a. You know, this is a shit show for them, their first Uber ride. So they contacted Uber and um, and, uh, you know, requested a refund for the ride and, of course, uber told them what they always tell them this trip isn't eligible for refunds. Guys like this is an illegal driver. You know, it's not his car. He asked, asked me to drive. He got arrested by the police. We were escorted out by the police. If this doesn't qualify for a refund, you're going to have to tell me what does, right?
Speaker 2:And so, uh, um, you know, this newspaper emailed Uber to ask why they weren't eligible for a refund and, of course, after that, uber refunded the money, as I ordered the wrong food or I I forgot something, so I immediately canceled it and I immediately messaged them and they're like Nope, sorry, too late, and I had to fight with them for about 30 minutes before I finally got my money refunded. But yeah, just keep, just beat them down, beat them down, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so it said the uh. The sheriff's office issued the driver two tickets and a trespass warning and he has to pay a $2,000 fine.
Speaker 2:Okay, Well, yeah, I'm glad.
Speaker 4:Can you imagine that on your very first Uber ride, that's what happened. It's like your very first Uber ride you've ever taken and that's the stuff that goes down.
Speaker 2:Well, the next video kind of my comment was going to be why these people continue to hey this. You know when they said, oh yeah, we'll switch seats with you, like why customers do this shit. And this next video is kind of the same thing, so we'll play that and then we'll kind of expand on.
Speaker 3:We had a terrible Uber experience and my husband would not give the Uber driver a bad review because he was deaf. I, on the other hand, thinks he deserves a bad review because his disability had nothing to do with the state of his car. Now I would understand if his disability interfered with something, for instance on maps, if it told him to turn left and he missed it because he was deaf. That is totally understandable. What is not understandable is having a filthy, disgusting car as an Uber driver. I'm going to show the videos. But another thing that happened was we ordered an Uber X which fits four people, because it was my husband and my two kids going somewhere, and we also brought like a platter of food and a cooler. My husband was hesitant, like, should I bring this platter and this cooler Because I don't know if I can put it in his trunk. I said he's an Uber driver, they're supposed to have trunk availability. He didn't have trunk availability, so he took all the shit out of his trunk and put it in his front seat. Well, we needed a space for four people. We're using an Uber to get there safely. So then my husband had to hold his junk on the front seat so we could put our things in the back trunk.
Speaker 3:Okay, here is the video of the disgustingness. My kids were so uncomfortable they didn't even want to take an Uber home. I had to assure them that all Ubers are not like this and most of them are really nice and they try to go above and beyond so they get a great tip. Okay, if this is not disgusting, I don't know what is. Garbage all over the floor has never probably been vacuumed. I mean it was gross. Look at under my kid's feet. There's garbage underneath his feet, stains on the seats. I felt nasty when we got out of it. I guess I did hold the platter. We didn't put it in the back. My husband put the cooler on the back and then he had to hold the guy's notebooks and iPad. Look at all the stuff in the back.
Speaker 2:Okay, Go ahead.
Speaker 4:Larry, no, I mean, yeah, if it's that filthy, I mean just don't get in and cancel the ride and and and I don't understand. I mean if the guy had to move his stuff out from the trunk up into the front seat so they could put the cooler in the trunk, just have the guy in the front carry the cooler, you don't have to move all this shit around.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I actually, uh, I I chimed in on that, that, and I was like why didn't you cancel the ride? And she was getting a bunch of bunch of strays from that. Yeah for not doing it. Well, sure, my husband didn't want to and I was like, well, like this is the problem, you, you continued I mean that car was bad.
Speaker 3:I yeah, it was really bad.
Speaker 2:I had a couple sketch ones this weekend too, not as bad as that. But you yeah, we did you encourage died several times. You encourage him to continue on when um, well, maybe I I can't remember, no, that was the end of the video. I can't remember in the comments if they did rate him bad, but I mean to just to say yeah, we'll just deal with it like that's stupid yeah, yeah, I don't understand it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, if you're gonna, if you're gonna, um, be that. Yeah, if I, if it pulled up like that, it was that filthy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if that would happen this weekend, we would not have got it no, I mean I can deal with a little bit, that's fine, but I mean that was pretty bad. Oh, she mentioned something too. I wanted to go back and ask you and I don't know that does the trunk need to be available as an uber driver? I don't think it does it's not required.
Speaker 4:I don't know if it's. I don't know if it's required. No, you're required to have four seats available in four seat belts.
Speaker 2:So if the trunk's not available, that's I mean. It's dumb, but I don't think he's the driver and again, I'm not defending him by any means. It's's just it got brought up If the driver has to have the trunk available. I don't, I don't think he does.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't think they have a specific policy. I just, I guess Googled it too. It says it's. You know, it's generally expected to have one for luggage or things like that. But it's not, it's not a strict requirement. Like you said, the four seats available available. That is a requirement which a lot of people don't do either. They'll put stuff in their front seat, so so people don't sit there. All the are they will tell people you can't, you can't, you can't sit there.
Speaker 2:And uh, yeah, gabe said you should tell him about our couple of interesting ubers yeah, I mean we a lot of them didn't have the fucking ac on, I mean, and yeah windows down. Yeah, and it's 90 plus degrees yeah, and I, you know, I ended up being in the back a lot and it's like that, even if the air was on, it doesn't get back there and there were short rides, it was fine, but like there was not one uber I was in, except maybe lisa's lisa's was great.
Speaker 2:Shout out to lisa if she's listening that it was like a comfortable car and it was seemed clean and it just seemed like she put a I mean, most of these drivers didn't put any effort into their car, you know like she put an effort in it. It was comfortable as far as uh, I don't know, it's just uh. It just wasn't a great experience and I think the I think Lisa's was was Lee. I'm trying to think, I think.
Speaker 4:Lisa's was the first one we took.
Speaker 2:But didn't we take comfort because we first looked and we're like, oh, we don't want to do, or was that from the airport? No, sorry, that was Gabe, me and Faith. We took a comfort from the airport.
Speaker 2:Yeah because you're our bougie. I said let's do X and Faith's like no, I don't want to do that. And I'm like let's do X and Faith's like no, I don't want to do that and I'm like I don't care, I just want to you know we're going to be using it a lot this weekend. We should probably save a little money. That's all I thought about.
Speaker 4:Yeah, after that Airbnb you got, you can't deny you're bougie.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I am. When it comes to places, I stay. I want it to be pretty nice.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it was a good experience. I got a tattoo over the weekend there and I Ubered by myself and both my drivers. It was dirty. One of the seats was stained. The latch was kind of falling off for the door handle to get out. I mean, it was kind of falling off for the door handle to get out and it was. I mean it was like it was kind of like that lady's just not as dirty, but the seats were completely stained with like ink or something all over it.
Speaker 4:So yeah, that's funny. We had one Uber driver this weekend. When we ordered the ride it popped up the message it said you know, just kind of an FYI thing, your driver is deaf.
Speaker 2:He was not yeah, because gabe went right in doing that yeah, gabe went right in and started asking a question.
Speaker 4:He's just started responding yeah yeah, he was not deaf by any means.
Speaker 2:Well, you know a lot of people do that because they don't want to talk but if someone's going to, talk and and they seem okay, then maybe you're all right with it yeah, so it's funny, yeah, we get in there.
Speaker 4:We're like all right guys, just so, no pressure, just so you know you're driving. You're driving six uber drivers around, so we're gonna be critiquing everything, every move you make you know well, yeah, and so a couple of them didn't really speak english.
Speaker 2:Uh, lisa was like overwhelmed with the amount of information she was getting from all of us.
Speaker 4:She's like yeah, we were. We were flooding her with the fire hose yeah, well, like how many?
Speaker 2:I mean, we had to have 50, 60 000 rides between all six of us oh yeah I mean, I would say so that I've got go ahead I'm like I'm between 14, 15 000 gabe's up way up 30. Well, maybe he, yeah, we might be even over 50 000, because I'm at like eight to ten, something like that john's got.
Speaker 4:John's got a fair amount. Yeah, I'm sure we're up there, but uh but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So it was interesting taking ubers. I was relative. I was pretty disappointed. I'll be honest with you. I don't think any of us drive. I mean we had lady do a fucking u-turn right on like downtown nashville and did not.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, car yeah, yeah, as soon as she dropped us off, she's on a busy, busy street, right, not right next to broadway. So I mean it was really busy on a saturday night and she let us off and and she just she just did a three-point turn and like traffic is she's just holding up traffic for everybody and she's like I'm doing this three point turn right here right now, you know yeah didn't care, did not care oh, but we did, we die, we did not die, we, we did not die not, we did not, we did not, we, uh, we lived to to tell the story and to drive another day, yep all right, moving on, uh, uber customers customer support.
Speaker 2:as my dogs are barking at each other, go ahead, larry.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so this, this video is just a kind of parody video that shows kind of in and now you know how things change over the years. This is contrasting kind of how you know support was back when Uber Eats first came out and how it might be now if you call in.
Speaker 1:Uber Eats customer support.
Speaker 1:How can I help you? Hi, my food just got here and it's a little cold. Oh no, that's not okay. Let me go ahead and refund your entire order and I'm also going to send you a $500 credit. Oh my God, thank you so much. I really really appreciate it. Oh my gosh, of course we really appreciate your continued support. Have a great day. Thank you, you too.
Speaker 1:Uber Eats customer support. Hi, um, this is super awkward, but my delivery driver just threw my food down on the porch and pissed all over it and then took a s*** in my mailbox. Is there any way I can get a refund? Oh no, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Have you tried getting f***ed? You broke bitch? Oh no, I can't eat it now. It's wet. It's wet with a little pee-pee. Yeah, put it under a f***ing blow dryer. You pussy. Like, buy a new f***ing mailbox, bro. Like, are you that strapped for cash? You want me to log on to Walmartcom and send you a couple f***ing links? It sounds to me like you need to go get a f***ing EBT card if you can't afford food delivery. That way, you can go to aldi and buy yourself some frozen chicken nuggets. You f***ing loser.
Speaker 4:Yeah, get f***ed that was really good. That guy does a good job yeah yeah, so that that's funny.
Speaker 4:uh, obviously, hopefully it's not that bad, but it's uh. You can definitely, I'm sure, tell the difference between, uh, what it was when it first came out. It's just like we talk about with all the gays when they first come out, you make really good money on them, you can clean up and then, slowly but surely, as they become wider spread, they start lowering their rates and start making less money and it's time to move on to another gig.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure. I mean it's well. This is actually false advertising, because you can't talk to Uber customer support on the phone unless you're like Diamond or something, I think.
Speaker 4:I don't even know if they do that anymore.
Speaker 2:They just give you priority or something like that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you get faster access to the AI chat. Yeah, oh my gosh so crazy.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that guy, that was so funny, I loved watching that again.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was really good, right, really good.
Speaker 2:So this driver so I did not save the video I realize it is now was a TikTok video, but she says looks like we'll both be winning Lyft customer gets charged 80 for the ride. Then she asks her driver this question that saves her 40. So like, of course, as I read the title and I was like I wonder what it is, and she was like how did she save for $40 on a lift? In her post, valuable V says she saved 40 by asking the driver a simple question how much is lift paying you for this ride? The ride was locked in at 80, she says, and the driver informed her they were only getting paid 20. Jiminy Cricket. She says cancel the ride and here's 40 cash. She said as she offered Lyft driver, they accepted. She says all these charges for rideshare people, let's make a deal for you. She captions the post. She goes I did this and found an everyday driver.
Speaker 2:One commenter shared that this happened to me. They were giving the driver 50 and charged me 300, canceled and gave him 150. So, yeah, obviously that. Okay, yeah, that works, that works. And you know, I go through this whole article and honestly, uh, where was? Oh, motor1.com? I don't even know what the fuck that is, but you would think if it was like the post or something like that, they would talk about how there's no insurance and and no one. Maybe I missed it, um, but yeah, I don't think. I don't think they did, I don't think they did either. But yeah, I mean great, yeah, that works, but you're not covered if there's a car accident. Yeah, we always talk about that.
Speaker 4:You know you gotta be careful taking these uh private rides. Sure, you're going to make more money on that particular ride, but that same person even if they just offered that to you, you know, if they get an accident and your insurance end up covering, they're resuing you for everything, right, them or their lawyer or their family or their estate or something. So yeah, if you're going to be doing proper rides, make sure you've got the commercial insurance.
Speaker 2:I mean you're definitely you know what. Could you be okay if there's an accident, absolutely it doesn't mean you know they, they will catch it, but like what a terrible way to lose everything. To lose everything not just the driver but but the person. But I don't know. I I do like the thought of her going into a lift and saying how much or how much are they paying?
Speaker 3:you, you know what I mean, just just so we can all.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think I like the more information out there and we have seen I know when I was driving for a little bit, either last year or whatever Lyft is really raking these people through the coals. I mean it's shocking that you know that it would be $120 fare and the driver's only getting 20, but I don't think it is with Lyft. I think it's a little bit closer with Uber. But I've seen some wild prices for Lyft rides for, for no apparent reason, you know the drivers. You know a two mile ride for like 75 bucks and the driver's probably getting seven bucks.
Speaker 2:If that, um, I don't know why somebody would pay that much for a two mile ride, but uh, back in the day we definitely saw people doing that, so for sure, yeah, just be careful when you do those private rides. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I've been an angel and never done it on.
Speaker 4:We've all done them. We've all done them.
Speaker 2:I mean sometimes someone opens your door and says hey, here's 50 bucks. Can you take us up to the hotel three blocks up? I mean you're not going to turn that money down, but we are. You know we are doing what we say you shouldn't do. I said, but don't do it on a regular basis, don't, like you know, every time someone gets in the car, try to cancel and do a cash deal.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I've had, I've had lots of people and and a lot of them they're doing it, they're truly doing it, try to help you out. They're like hey, I know you're not getting paid much, how about you, just how about I pay you this? Of course We'll just cut out the middleman. They're trying to help you out and then you have to explain to them hey, man, I appreciate that, that's very thoughtful of you, but really I'd rather do it on that, because if something were to happen, something go wrong, my insurance isn't going to cover us.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I mean I would be polite about it and just say I just don't want to do it that way and but I want to do it that way like right I want, I want to, just because it's not worth losing everything if something were to happen. You know, around town I've I've done some, but you know somebody wants to go to the airport in nashville. Yeah, I don't trust those people. You know interstate driving and all those crazy people now yeah, it's just not worth the risk.
Speaker 2:And as you get older, of course, you think about insurance and risk.
Speaker 4:When you're younger, you know yeah, let's do it, man, I'll do it, or if you're gabe in nashville.
Speaker 2:You just do it, you just do it.
Speaker 4:That's right, larry uber adding more robo deliveries to a city yeah, so atlanta they're the same week that they Uber launched their Waymo robo taxi service. They also decide to go ahead and offer robo delivery for food for their Uber Eats, starting last Thursday. If people are ordering food from a place called Real Tacos, midtown, ponco Chicken or Shake Shack, then they will have the opportunity to get their meals delivered by a robot, and we've all seen the little food delivery robots that they have. Since Atlanta is going to be the fourth city to use the program, other cities are Los Angeles, miami and Dallas-Fort Worth use the program. Other cities are Los Angeles, miami and Dallas, fort Worth. So it was one of the largest and fastest growing markets in the Southeast.
Speaker 4:Atlanta is a strategic next step, said CEO of serve robotics, who I guess makes the little robots that are delivering the food. Said we're pleased to be one of the first robotics companies into the market and bring our friendly approach to delivery. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, we wanted to take a Waymo car while we were in Nashville. Unfortunately, they're still testing there and we were not able to do that, but I'd also like to try this out sometime and have some food delivered by a robot. Up to 10 minutes for you to come. Get your food. You'll get tracking notifications. You'll get a notification once it's there. You go out and I'm sure it's something on your phone that unlocks the hatch on the robot to get your food from inside. Since these robots have a 48 mile range, they can travel up to four miles an hour and have been tested to work in both extreme heat and inclement weather.
Speaker 2:So bubba sue that says that waymo is now delivering food in arizona. Oh, interesting, like in their like expensive cars, or are they? Do they have like another robot that they're doing it? God, I hope not. Like, can we just keep it to ride share for a while? Like I mean, eventually I don't know if it'll be in our time, but I, I bet it's going to be like this, like, even even like what I did. I did a couple of spark orders today and even that stuff.
Speaker 4:I mean, yeah, we start being delivered and I and just to clarify something, we I know we went back and forth on the uh, the Tesla robo, robo taxis, whether they were two door or four door. So the gold ones that do have the long door, that is, a two seater. I clarified that today. I looked that up.
Speaker 4:They do have other four other, you know their regular model X and model Y cars for robo taxis. If you need more than two people, I don't know, I guess when you order it from from, uh, tesla, I guess you put in how many people are are in your party, uh, so they know which car to send.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when we watched that video on the Patreon last was it last week and and they didn't even show the gold ones, it showed like the regular model X and model Y. Yeah, yeah, so which makes sense. I'm like a two seater. I mean yeah, yeah, I guess it'd be kind of fun if you're going on a date with your wife or whatever.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and they did the research supposedly. Um, I forget what the percentage was, but it was only like 18 or 19 percent of the rides that they studied were more than two people. Oh really, so they figured they'd save money by a smaller car.
Speaker 2:You know like weighs less, uses less everything yeah, I mean it's not, it's not a horrible idea, yeah. So, um shit, I lost my spot. We were talking and I was uh dicking around and we're on the.
Speaker 4:It's time for waymo waymo in the news.
Speaker 2:All right, thank you to j Josh for sending this out. Give me a second here. This is a Waymo that Having a little trouble in some water.
Speaker 3:No, damn it, jason, they see me rolling, they hating Patrolling and trying to get me Riding dirty. Trying to get me riding dirty. Trying to get me riding dirty. Trying to get me riding dirty.
Speaker 1:Trying to kiss me right and dirty, trying to kiss me right and dirty trying to kiss me right and dirty, trying to kiss me right and dirty my music's so loud.
Speaker 2:We're gonna get so many youtube tickets tonight uh so for the audio listeners it it looks like a water main break and um the road was flooded. The road was flooded.
Speaker 4:There's cars going around the puddle but two waymos stuck right in the middle.
Speaker 2:This is where the common sense, like we talked about, like oh, I need to go around this because this is, I mean, to me some of the stuff is not that hard, like it's not, like it's a very complex decision that needs to make.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you wonder why it can't get that right.
Speaker 2:Well, I guess for that one you can't see the lines in the road. I mean, the technology is using, right, I mean with the LIDAR and all that stuff, I assume well, just like my Super Cruise on the highway, it's using the lines to keep me in my lane. So I assume the Super Cruise is basic compared to what that is. But maybe that's the problem.
Speaker 4:It just freezes because it can't.
Speaker 2:I mean it can't make a decision, yeah, but I mean, yeah, they've got to have something on there that detects water, and on the road, at least stop before it gets in, although you know yeah, that's what I'm saying but cars can, but that's the thing it can't. It can stop it, but exactly, and it can't go. Oh, there's cars going around. This way must be fine, I don't know it's so. I would love to sit down with a like a programmer and like just layman's terms. Why can't it navigate this, this big puddle?
Speaker 4:yeah, yeah, yeah, you think, because we played one a few weeks ago and that one just like blew through that big puddle, that big, uh flooded spot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and then, and then it ended up stalling out yeah, for sure, stopping or stopping.
Speaker 3:I think there is no stalling.
Speaker 2:No, there's no gas in it, but um, yeah, I don't know it. Just that is where I'm like. It just kind of frustrates me. Not frustrates me. It's kind of like, oh, we're not ready for, for prime time yet.
Speaker 4:So yeah, I was really hoping to at least see a couple waymo cars while we were in nashville. We didn't see anything.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean we I mean I was jammed in the back of the.
Speaker 4:You never realized how much you said you didn't see anything but a headrest.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, the amount of limited vision you don't realize when you're in the third row of an suv in the back and and not a big suv like yeah the smaller one.
Speaker 4:No, they were not big suvs, we were crammed in there.
Speaker 2:My pilot has yeah, has the third row, but it was, it was comfortable, like you, it was a lot of room, but yeah, so you're looking out this window like this big, but anyways, yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 4:We didn't see anything yeah, I did not get in the in the third row. I was the senior citizen of the group. Yeah, and I'm wide.
Speaker 2:But I'm the shortest. Well, no, Gabe might be the shortest. I don't know, so this one actually got pulled down off Reddit, but I was able to grab a screenshot and it's part of the title of the show. Oh my gosh, Jason, I don't even have this. What is happening? I even sat down and prepped and I was like, okay, make sure you get this. Where did it save it to Hold on, motherfucker.
Speaker 4:Oh goodness, this weekend, man, I don't have any excuse.
Speaker 2:I know I saved this because I did a screenshot of it. I mean, how do you think it got on the dock? Yeah, I know you have it because you put it in a rundown, I know. Maybe it's under quick access.
Speaker 4:Maybe it's under quick access, but I didn't notice that when I clicked on our link in our show rundown that it said it had been removed. There we go.
Speaker 2:It says hi, your item plan B, one-step emergency counter-perceptive tablet and selected substitution are all in stock. Would you like something else? Hi, are there any substitution? They had it by the counter, but no offense, $8 payment to pick up plan B. Question mark exclamation mark I'll be there shortly. Then he sends another message, says something should be handled by you or maybe a close friend or family member, not a DoorDash male stranger. I'm now involved in a scenario that I want nothing to do with. This guy doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. I fully support your rights, but don't put that on other people, um. So, basically, you know he sounded like he didn't want to, uh, deliver the plan b, but you know. But he also was fussy with the eight dollars. So which is it? Do you? Do you not want it because you don't want to be involved with it, or are you fussy, um, because it was only eight dollars?
Speaker 2:yeah yeah, there's a lot going on and I and I'm totally fine for him not wanting to do it I, I mean, I, I, I, I am on board of. It's your right to decide, an independent contractor, as a human being, as your political views on all that shit like that's why we live here. You can do what you want, but don't fucking rail somebody about it yeah, yeah, just cancel the order and move on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, why some people think they have to like. Well, I mean, it's weird. He was like in one pocket. He was like I don't want to be part of this. In the other pocket he was fussy for $8. So I'm just like I don't think you know what he really felt. Yeah, so if it was $20, would you be? Well, yeah, where's the line that you'll look the other way and be part of you know?
Speaker 4:plan B yeah, yeah, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2:And then you know you don't want to get involved in the abortion thing. But out of the grand scheme of things, if you are against abortion, I think plan B is probably your best bet than anything else out there.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And I mean, if you're going to do deliveries, yeah, I mean, he probably had no problem delivering the alcohol which led to the pregnancy in the first place.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, yeah, alcohol is a literal poison. Ask Gabriel. It's a literal poison, you know. He knew I was going to bring that up as much as possible.
Speaker 4:Oh yes. So, yeah, a fun time was had by all. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2:And again, no hate to the guy Like dude, just don't take it, just be like you know what the same.
Speaker 4:Or if you see it after you've taken it, just cancel it. You don't have to preach to people, you don't have to say anything. Yeah, just move on. Yes, move on.
Speaker 2:Let's see we got quite, got quite a few left. So those, a couple of those, will be on the Patreon. Do you want to do the lady yells at? I will do both. Do you said you had a story in there, do you want? Do you have time to fit? That in yeah.
Speaker 4:I can do it real quick. It's just a story about a Lyft driver. Um, uh, a female Lyft driver said she, um, you know, she received a notice. She was out driving. She got a call about. Got a ping about 1 am that some passenger named Bradley wanted to be picked up at this address, said the ride was going to cost probably a little over $10. The passenger Bradley sent a text to the driver as she was on her way, asking her to pick him up at a different address, and he also instructed her to turn off her headlights and park next to a white SUV in the driveway. So all sorts of red flags. I don't know why this lady didn't cancel right there. I would have canceled right there, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:So anyway said, when she arrived, um, he, you know passenger emerged from the house and got in the backseat of a car. She noticed he had something. You know, he was holding something in his hand and then he told her he didn't really need a ride but he was looking for a girl to hang out with him at his house, duh, she.
Speaker 4:She could see that, uh, that the passenger, who's about five foot 11, weighs about two 80, was holding two long white heavy duty zip ties, so definitely red flag. So she ordered him to get out of the car, which and he refused to get out even though she asked him, said six times, uh, she told him that he was scaring her and she finally out of the car and got out of the car herself and began yelling at him, which finally convinced him to get out of the car. She went to the lady like police department and uh filled out an affidavit and a police officer contacted Seymour. He admitted that he didn't really need a ride, he only wanted the company of a female driver and the zip ties were intended so that she could tie him up as he showed her around his house so she would not be frightened.
Speaker 1:What in the hell.
Speaker 2:That's not where I thought that was going.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, but uh, yeah. So a warrant for his arrest, taken into custody in December, I guess a little earlier. He was arrested on a drunk driving charge In February. He lost his driver's license for six months and was placed on probation for a year. So Seymour Bradley has some problems, has? Some issues he needs to work on.
Speaker 2:You ever wonder the parents of these people that do some of this stuff? I mean, we all make mistakes, right? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:I mean chances are, the parents are probably messed up too well I mean most, I mean a lot, most of the kids, um, well, at one point or another will make you say what, what are they?
Speaker 2:doing right. You know, I thought you were going to make a joke with this name. You went seymour. I thought you were going to say you're going to see you're not going to see more girls, or see you're, you're going to see a jail cell or something. That's his last name. His first name is brad. Oh, wow, whatever, you still could have done the joke I could have.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he gonna, yeah, he might, he might see more, uh, ankle grabbing don't drop the soap, don't drop the soap.
Speaker 2:Uh, last story before we head out and head to the patreon. You can still join the patreon patreoncom. Slash the geek econ podcast right be like faith, join the patreon.
Speaker 4:join the patreon. Uh socom. Slash thegategeekonpodcast Right. Be like Faith, join the Patreon. Join the Patreon.
Speaker 2:So this is a lady that yells at a dasher, I think. Basically, what it is is this dasher was trying to turn around in her yard and she just ran out there in her skivvies, I guess. Yeah, he was cutting through her grass and she was not having it. I'd be the same way.
Speaker 3:I'd be the same way I'd be like I will put spike strips down on that to make sure you don't do that. No, no, no, fuck, no, Absolutely not With your ignorant ass, hell no.
Speaker 1:No, what the fuck Fuck, no, no.
Speaker 2:I don't even know. I don't even know why you would even do that. Like what, he just wanted to turn around, not in the road, so he's just going to drive through the grass.
Speaker 4:I guess. So yeah, I don't know That'd make any sense. I can't imagine just driving through somebody's grass unless they've told me proofs that I have had. People are like hey, you know, it's a tight backup.
Speaker 2:Don't worry about going in the grass. Well, I I base it on the quality of the grass. So when I do amazon deliveries. I'm out in the country. Most people do not give a shit.
Speaker 4:You don't care yeah, but if you're in some hoa neighborhood, yeah, the grass has to be pristine and, yeah, you start doing it there. You might, you might have problems and her grass look nice?
Speaker 2:I didn't. I just want to know the story. Was he dropping off for her or does she happen to be like seeing him pull in there and it was for the neighbor or something? I don't?
Speaker 4:know I think you dropped off something there because she already had it. I don't think she just happened to seen, but you know it could have been across the street or something I like how she calls him ignorant.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:That's such, that is such a cut when you call us not some dumb or stupid you are angry ignorant motherfucker. Yeah, yeah, she was not happy, all right guys.
Speaker 2:Uh, I don't know if the audio improved or not. I sent larry a message about 20 minutes in the in the private chat, but he didn't even look at it. Oh, did you not have telegram, or did you not have?
Speaker 4:uh, stream, yard up no, I have stream yard up, but I don't in the private chat.
Speaker 2:Isn't there a little red? Oh yeah, there is, damn it, that's okay. Uh, hopefully it improved. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2:It did improve, yes, okay, but anyways, uh. So I want to tell people I did do a new show last week, monday and that wasn't a good time to start it because I was exhausted coming home from Nashville and I didn't do it that night. So it is going to be on Mondays at 7 pm on TikTok. Only Just me, not Larry. I did not invite him. No, I'm just kidding. I'm trying to do some solo stuff. It's more about tips and tricks and kind of just deep diving in some of the apps and tearing them apart a little bit and just see what's in the apps and just who knows what it's going to be. But it's not going to. Typically it's not going to be news.
Speaker 2:Last show I ended up talking about the emails I got from DoorDash and just breaking that down a little bit and talking about that 15 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on you know if I don't have anything to say, I'm not going to ramble on, but check that out. It's going to be in your regular podcast player, so those of you listen to the audio. You already got the first episode. It's going to be in the same RSS feed, but it's just going to be labeled different. So that was episode one. I'll be back on Monday at 7 pm Eastern for that one, and then Larry and I, in nine minutes, will be on the Patreon. So go ahead and join the Patreon the $7 tier and you're able to watch us live. And, as always, don't put up with anyone's bullshit and we'll see you on the road. All right, peace, peace out. This podcast is produced and edited by hey Guys Media Group. Want to start a podcast?
