So, but I still want you to talk about the telegram group, because I love it definitely we'll still talk about telegram groups, our telegram groups, the way we keep in touch and communicate.
Speaker 2:It's like a texting program, but you can also do voice and video messages. Uh, those are kind of fun, especially if you're out driving or delivering food. It's kind of hard to text and drive, but it's really easy to press a button and do a voice message. Um, you can interact and be gig workers from all across the country, not feel so lonely when you're out there on the road doing that gig work. I mean lots of great people we got have a lot of fun in the group. We talk gig work, we talk life. We, yeah, razz each other about this.
Speaker 2:That and the other, but uh, yeah, we have a lot of fun in the telegram group yeah, we sure do all the things that we talk about.
Speaker 1:Uh, the links are in the description also. Uh, we hit 702 followers on uh tiktok so I had another getting. There had another controversial one that people love the controversy. We'll play that one tonight, but uh okay, yeah, a lot, a lot of chatter on there. It's honestly, it's a full time job literally responding to comments. If you got a video that pops off a little bit because you're supposed to respond, right, like that's how you build community, which I'm fine with.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it takes.
Speaker 1:it takes forever, like when I say that it's like 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes at night, like every day, because day, because you know you could spend all day on there. But yeah, not that I'm complaining, I'm just like I'm surprised how how many uh people comment on there. Yeah, um, so yeah, and it even got a little bit of viral for us on youtube uh that same video.
Speaker 1:I decided to cross post it, but usually that doesn't work, usually like it'll do well on tiktok, but not on youtube, but not on youtube. Yeah, I don't know what it is. So the algorithm whatever see says that t stink your pinky out. Yeah, it is, it's t. I'm fasting right now, so is this better?
Speaker 2:there you go.
Speaker 1:That's fancy there we go everyone loves that on uh, on audio recording, um. So, yeah, go to tiktok. I want to hit a thousand. That's, that's our goal before the end of the year. Uh, to hit a thousand followers. So we've been slowly picking up. And, uh, if you haven't followed us on tiktok, please, please, do All right, stories from the road. I have nothing Actually. I mean this isn't really a story, but I hadn't done any gig work. But you know, last night I was like I'm going to go try do a few. So I ended up getting a $25 Walmart and it was cold, so creamery.
Speaker 1:It was like in a little thing popped up and said hey, you're delivering to a business. We're was like in a little thing popped up and said hey, you're delivering to a business, we're gonna give you a little bit more money because it's I don't know if it's supposed to take longer or whatever. I didn't see the money where, although I didn't go into my app and see if it had specified it for a business. But, um, excuse me, I uh, but it said it was supposed to give me more money. Uh, so it's 25 and then I go, then I drop that off, so it was $25. And then I go, then I dropped that off and then it was like one other small delivery and drop that off and I go back and I'm waiting, I'm not getting anything. And then I get an Uber eats uh, $36 for like 30 items at Meyer.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So I took that and you know, the Uber eats app is a little sketch with Meyer. It's tough to find stuff, it's not very organized. Um, and a couple of times I would scan something and put it in my cart and the app was like, oh no, you didn't scan it, like it didn't give me an error, it just like went back to the yeah, the same item. So that was a little annoying, but, um, but yeah, so 36 and a 25 was done in 90 minutes. I went home after that.
Speaker 2:There you go, there you go, wrap it up man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean not much of a story, but I thought those two orders were pretty good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no doubt. What about you? Yeah, it's not bad. Uh, I did no gig work last week, okay, okay, um, I was not feeling great. Uh, thursday didn't get my sleep Wednesday night and I did not go out Thursday. And then Friday night where I worked, they were having an organized get-together at the Hot Rods game. Okay, they tried to do it earlier in the year. It got rained out. We hadn't had any rain in like a month and of course Friday night it starts clouding up. But we went anyway. Okay, we got the free hamburger hot dogs. Uh, I won a 20 gift certificate. Dang, the first inning I think it's first inning, maybe the, maybe the top of the second inning, poor. And yeah, by the time we got to just where the covered area is, it was we were soaked. It didn't last very long, maybe about 15 minutes.
Speaker 1:As soon as it started like just barely raining, me and wife are like we're done we're gone I mean she's usually wiped out by friday nights yeah, free stuff is nice, but I'm not sitting in rain or gross weather for yeah, I go sit in a wet seat, you know yeah, yeah, terrible so, yeah, that was friday night, saturday um did some food delivery.
Speaker 2:This is fun. Me and my wife get to deliver food. Our sunday school group, uh, it's like once a quarter there's a church downtown that feeds the you know, kind of lower income people, uh, every weekend. And so, um, our sunday school group partners with them and me and my wife will go and we deliver meals to, like I don't know, maybe 25 houses, okay, but it's kind of fun, we get to do it together. So we enjoy that. And then I went down and got my new desk. I was telling you about that. I ordered it from Ikea. We don't have one here, but they'll send it.
Speaker 1:They'll ship it to Nashville to a warehouse there and spent most of the weekend putting this together. And then sunday was football, football and a little more football fuck, I'm not even.
Speaker 2:I don't even want to talk about it. I know you don't want to talk about. There were some good games this weekend, though yeah I uh bill's game bills. Uh uh, who'd they play the Ravens Ravens game? Yeah, bill's Ravens game was really good, and the Vikings and Bears game last night was pretty decent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I watched the Bears-Vikings, but that was I only saw halftime. I wasn't going to stay out because I had to work in the morning. I will only stay out for the Lions.
Speaker 2:I only saw the second half.
Speaker 1:Between the both of us, we watched the game, yeah so funny thing is I, I I don't bet a lot, but like face got me yeah, you're watching, man, face got me like okay, so the bad influence.
Speaker 2:We love you.
Speaker 1:Faith with your bad influence so I inside the draft kings app. I know nothing about betting, but like they had some, some parlays, it was like sure the Lions have to win, like Jared Goff has to throw 200 yards, like it was three things.
Speaker 1:I'm like oh my God, this is like. This is a, and I only bet five bucks. I would have won like 30. You know, I'm just I'm just playing around a little bit, so I bet on them. Of course, they lost, they lost. And then I bet on um. Didn't kansas city lose? They did. Yeah, I bet on kansas city to win too, and like a five dollar parlay on that, and that's why I lost 10 bucks. I didn't win shit, yeah. So I'm a little bummed out about that.
Speaker 2:But it amazes me how many passengers in my car college kids, boys and girls are in the car and all they're talking about is how their bets are doing yeah, so many people.
Speaker 1:I don't know if they're getting their money for like, just like a lot of things with kids in college and you know everyone's not like this, but you know a lot of kids are getting the money from their parents. I mean, what if they're just?
Speaker 2:oh sure yeah, from their parents to bet yeah, they may be, but it just surprises me how many people are into it.
Speaker 1:Because it's so easy you got it on an app, yeah it's so easy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you just pull out your phone and that's it.
Speaker 1:I mean you literally can buy scratch-offs on your phone and scratch them off like you were in the store, like it's bad, like if you have a problem you better just delete that app because you're going to lose a lot of money.
Speaker 2:Yeah and I didn't do any sports betting. I did buy. I did buy a powerball ticket though.
Speaker 1:Oh, you did, yeah, you didn't win.
Speaker 2:Though well, I don't know the drawing. I mean I drew. I bought one for the big money, but I bought one yesterday due for the next drawing oh, you know it's not, you know, it's not like a million dollars or whatever.
Speaker 1:it starts out at like like that's not enough, oh okay, I thought I only end up trying to play when it's like a billion. I don't know why that's what.
Speaker 2:I usually do too, and it's so funny because one of the winners was in St Louis and so I text my son on Sunday. I was like I'm assuming that that was you that won the lottery, right? So we were supposed to watch the game together. The Bucks played at noon and he overslept, and so I texted him and he's like yeah, he's like I did, but I was up late last night. I was at the casino. They've got it all now. I was like I would expect nothing less.
Speaker 1:Moe on TikTok says they bought a bunch of Powerball in Wisconsin and then forgot to check them. And now I'm in Michigan. I think you can still, yeah, check them, though yeah, it doesn't matter. I mean, you might. You might have won like 20 bucks, although I don't know how you collect it because you probably have to go to a real retailer in wisconsin.
Speaker 2:I mean, to scan it right, that I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know I know if you won the billion you would have did. Did somebody win the big one? Was it somebody?
Speaker 2:in missouri two people, one in one, st louis, and then the other one I think was uh, gosh texas, maybe I can't remember.
Speaker 1:Nice, yeah I, I don't do a lot of that. I just do the big ones, which I didn't this time, just because it's fun to like. You know, I tell the kids like, oh guys, we're doing this and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:I mean it's not going to solve all your problems, but you're going to have different problems I'll take the different.
Speaker 1:We talked on the patreon. Yeah, we did, we did.
Speaker 2:We'll take the different problems for a while and try to try those other set of problems. Yeah, but you know, I say that but but you never know so many. Some of those people, their kids end up in bad shape and stuff so who knows if it it's worth it.
Speaker 1:All right, gig economy in the news Later we're going to talk about this is kind of funny and I feel like every package delivery is probably drugs and that's what this one's about right it could be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so this is an Uber Eats delivery. It said this Uber Eats driver in Texas. He picked up a guy's package for delivery. He said right away he could smell. It wasn't you know. He smelled something suspicious. So instead of delivering it, he went right to the police department. They opened it up, I guess, and it contained a container of baby wipes that were wrapped around a large amount of meth, amphetamine and several THC cartridges. So then the police had the guy message him on the Uber app and tell him that he had broken down and tell him to come to this other location to pick up his stuff. When he got there, the police were waiting for him.
Speaker 1:Yes, Amazing yes.
Speaker 2:So funny. Yeah, so funny. So yeah, you gotta be careful. You know, if your Uber Eats driver gives you some story about being broken down and can't deliver your package, you have to come. Uh, come somewhere else. Be on the lookout, they might be setting a trap for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um yeah. Like I said when I started, I think every Uber eats package is is drugs. Um, that one I had where I did. He said it was AirPods. I did sniff it but I couldn't, you know, I couldn't smell anything. And usually that stuff, if it's, if it's there, you're going to smell it. It's, it's pretty stinky.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, and what if it, if it smelled like drugs? I mean, are you, are you, are you gonna do anything with it? I don't know, probably not. I don't worry about it. I mean, I haven't done a lot of packages, but I I don't think I'd worry about it, I wouldn't either.
Speaker 1:I mean that last one was a little. It just felt a little sketch. So I've had a few pop up and I've just just declined them.
Speaker 2:Um, oh, speaking of package deliveries, I, I have, I've done one curry. One curry, okay, that was like four years ago, because I always turn it on but I never get anything. Okay, and uh, you know, I keep my uber phone in the car when I'm not working. Well, this this morning, uh, of course I hadn't worked, so it's been in the car and uh, apparently they, they sent me a text sometime yesterday asking yeah, can you take this?
Speaker 1:Sorry, I was not working at the time yeah, that's a new thing, is they text?
Speaker 2:Well, that's fine If I'm available. I'd probably do it if it was worth it.
Speaker 1:Well, again, I had that. We talked about it. I negotiated with them a little bit via text. Yeah, I like that. I like that. I like that they send the text, though, because sometimes, like the curry comes through, but like doesn't, it pops down and then I don't see it, like it's not an app that I keep like front, in the forefront, yeah, yeah and so I the text.
Speaker 1:Obviously I was like, oh, why is curry texting me? I'm like, oh shit, there's a, there's a, you know a run to do. But yeah, now it's almost impossible. They don't run on the weekends and I'm, you know, at school oh really, they don't run on the weekends no, I mean they might, but I've never gotten one on the weekends, I mean that's when they texted me oh, really yeah yeah, it was like on a saturday or something I think it was.
Speaker 2:I have to look. I can't do it because my phone's running tiktok right now.
Speaker 1:I know, I just I swear, I heard I got a vibrating text and I looked I was like where's my phone?
Speaker 2:oh, it's, yeah, it's, it's on tiktok yeah, yeah, I can't, can't do anything on it, but uh, uh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, steve said curry seven days a week, but yeah, I've never gotten a request on saturday or sunday. Yeah, interesting no, josh says he's where. Where are you, josh? I forget, uh, east east side of the country, um, yeah, I've never seen one. I mean I would love to take them, that'd be amazing. Yeah, I mean that's, you know it's, some of the prices aren't great but honestly, it's typically easy work.
Speaker 2:It's just you're just driving, you know right, yeah, the one, the one that I got, um I. The only reason I got it is because this guy was on i-65 about 15 miles north of bowling green and 18 wheeler had run him off into the median. That's right, I remember that, and so I had to go out there and pull off on the side of the interstate and go over there and get this car parked and take it to Nashville.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah yeah, that's a really unique curry. Yeah yeah, that's like you're on the side of the road.
Speaker 2:Exactly, man, I'm trying not to get run over here, so did they do the same process, like they know?
Speaker 1:Well, I know you've only taken one, but did they ask you to take a picture of it and like, did you go through the whole rigmarole, like it's been like four years ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Four or five years ago, I I don't remember oh yeah, it's fine, I was just curious. My big one. One curry I've done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, huh, I'd like to get some on the weekends, I don't know. I just like, I mean, I can see some hvac companies, like you know, moving stuff because you know they have an emergency, but I, yeah, I don't know, that's weird, all right, moving on. Uh, these two thieves, we'll watch a video. It's basically people stealing an amazon package, um, and then we'll we'll talk about it. I need to find it. Okay, here we go. I need to find it.
Speaker 2:Okay, here we go. I'm very confused. Yeah, so, uh, yeah, so this too for the audio listeners Amazon guy comes up, delivers the package. He's walking off barely off the porch and these two guys from different cars run up on the porch and they're fighting over his still in his package and this one guy grabs it and he has something in his hand. I couldn't tell you. I don't think it was a knife, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:Oh, it looked like a knife. The guy that was his back face. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, it looked like a knife, so maybe he had a knife in his hand and, like he takes a swipe at the other guy, misses him. So the other guy reaches down there's a big flower pot on the porch empty and he picks it up. You know he's ready to to clunk this guy on the head and that they kind of do a standoff here again and they run off again.
Speaker 1:So well to me. So, yeah, they came up. The fedex guy drops the package off. They both come up at the same time. There's a little bit of yelling before they get up there, but like yeah, I feel like they already had a beef beforehand. Like I feel like you know what I mean, because, like, what were they? How did they know that whatever was in there was super valuable?
Speaker 2:yeah, it's like. It's like they've been following each other around all day. Yes, yeah, you know, it's like who's going to get this one, who's going to get the next one? And maybe the guy who got this one had got the last three in a row, or something. Yeah. I wasn't happy about it. I don't know. Yeah, I definitely felt yeah first of all, how do they know, unless they're just following this truck around, this delivery truck? It's truck, it's possible, it's very possible. I mean, normally you would let the truck drive away before you.
Speaker 1:You did it, but clearly he was on the sidewalk. Yeah, this guy was still on the sidewalk when they ran up. I love that care. Yeah, I love that he turned around. He was gonna do something. He's probably like what the fuck am I gonna do? Like, I mean, I'll report it, but I'm not gonna like try to stop these guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, not getting involved, that's for sure, especially that dude had a knife yeah, that that was wild.
Speaker 1:I yeah, I feel like they already had a beef, like it just felt personal a little bit yeah, they did.
Speaker 2:It wasn't like they they're they're surprised to see each other. No, not at all. Not at all. It's like they. They definitely. They definitely knew or had seen each other. That was not the first time they'd like laid eyes on each other.
Speaker 1:I think about what if it was like what, if it was like that a girl, they were both like trying to court or something and I don't know. I'm just trying to feel why, trying to think of a reason why they would be there like kind of fighting for this package at the same time. I don't know, it seems wild, but yeah, it's, it was, it was crazy I hate all the stuff we see and we never hear follow-up like I.
Speaker 1:That was just like a random video. I mean you just have to spend so much time going through comments and stuff to find out like what was the deal? You know what I mean, and sometimes I wish I knew what the deal was with that so I could tell y'all what the deal was exactly yeah, it'd be nice to get the whole story yeah, uh, next up larry's got a story. Uh, same kind of thing, same kind of viciousness, stealing off their porcs.
Speaker 2:This is crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it just yeah, I'm not sure why this is happening go bear, no, no bear, no happening.
Speaker 2:Go bear, no, no bear, no, no bear, damn it so for the, the damn it at the end was epic. Yeah. So for the audio listeners, this is a bear, it's not a full it's not a full grown bear.
Speaker 2:It's not like a cub either it's a pretty, pretty decent size, I wouldn't adolescent, yeah, adolescent bear uh is on his porch. He grabs their, their amazon package in his mouth and starts wandering off and the lady that's obviously looking through her ring doorbell or whatever doorbell that has audio on it. She's trying, yeah, it says, ring it. So she's trying to scare the bear. So she's like you know, the bear, bear, no bear. And he just walks off with her, with her package, and then she's like damn it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just. It was such a wild damn it.
Speaker 2:That's something I would do.
Speaker 1:I wonder what he smells in there, because like it's got to be some sort of food.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would say they ordered something, but kind of food yeah.
Speaker 1:I and then bears have such a good sense of smell, like, even if it's in the package, they're probably going to smell it out. Yeah.
Speaker 2:They can, yeah, they can, smell it from a ways away, I'm sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean it's watch. But if it was happening to me, I'd be. I'd be like her, I'd be like damn it well, you got.
Speaker 1:I mean, actually amazon posted that video. That's actually a oh really yeah, they the amazon. Like they had the blue check mark on tiktok, like they posted it, so you know they're it's gonna get replaced. But like, how do you start that conversation on chat? Dear amazon, support a bear took my package.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right here's the clip like a dog ate my homework, you know? Yeah, yeah yeah, exactly hilarious yeah well, I mean, at least I have video evidence to show it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you're not gonna fight that. That's pretty obvious well, you always have a dash cam, always have a doorbell cam yeah, I love how you said ring ring has become and this is what they want, ring.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I'm like sweating my ass, yeah they've become the generic well, it's like xerox yeah, xerox or kleenex or any of those that you know. You use the brand name as as the thing yeah, where did I see it?
Speaker 1:maybe, I'm sure, on tiktok, but kleenex didn't start out as what it is.
Speaker 2:It started out as something else.
Speaker 1:But then everyone was using it like that and they finally like stopped fighting it and just embraced it, and that was the end of it. I can't remember what that, what was made for, though?
Speaker 2:yeah, there's several examples. That same thing. Xerox, you know that's probably more of my day. Uh, you know, it used to be everything you know. Oh, go, xerox, this you know xerox it yeah, and xerox was. You know, xerox was the brand of of one particular copying machine, but, uh, certainly not the only one same for uber.
Speaker 1:Everybody, let's catch an uber yeah, no one says, let's catch a lift rarely.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I've heard on the, you know you hear it on their phone. They'll be on their phone in your lift and like yeah, I'm in my uber, you know yeah yeah, I wonder, I wonder what's gonna to be the not the slogan, but like for the self-driving.
Speaker 1:Is it going to be like Waymo or Tesla? I don't know who knows. The robo taxi Pringles was supposed to be. Yeah, he's being funny, he's Okay. Whatever, there's no way that that happened. Oh my God, that's hilarious. Yeah all right.
Speaker 1:So here I'm gonna play the tiktok video that I posted um on our page and I you know it's about um, a dasher that's disabled, and so there was a lot of back and forth on it, but we'll play it and then, uh, talk about it. This dasher sent a message to the customer and said I am here in the parking lot, I am a person with a disability, I'm sorry, I can't walk. So this person works for DoorDash and can't walk and must message their customers each time for the customer to come down to the car. What do you guys think about this? Should this person not be a dasher? Should the customer just be like, okay, I'll just go do it? I'm sure a lot of them, a lot of customers, probably just go and just get the food, just because it's less hassle than like messaging and fighting about it and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:But I want to know what you think. Should a person that can't walk up to the door to deliver it be a dasher? My only thought is you have to go into the store to get the food. Is this person calling the store and asking them to bring it out? Or maybe this person only uses drive-thrus so they don't have to get out of the car. Yeah, let me know, I'm kind of on the fence with this. I think this person should not dash. But I also could see if you know you're an independent contractor, you can select just drive-through orders. I don't know, I'm kind of all over the place with this one, but I want to know what you think. And that's literally like I was, I didn't know, like I wanted to be like sensitive to the person that was disabled and they're out hustling. But also it's like bro, I think maybe Uber driving I say bro, I don't know the gender, it doesn't really matter, but I think maybe Uber driving is a better fit for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think part of door dashing is delivering the food and that's expected I would. I would think you would get a lot of complaint or a lot of cancellations or just a lot of complaints or things like that from people.
Speaker 1:You know, we sure there is going to be people who are happy to do that and come out, but well, yeah, and I, someone made a comment and I didn't realize that, but the actual customer was visually impaired, so there was two people with disabilities. So that was a lot of people's like well, they both have disabilities.
Speaker 2:What are you going to do?
Speaker 1:And but also I said like hey, it's one time, like, what do you first? What are you going to do? You're going to cancel the order and get it Like you just want your fucking order at that point yeah, and then it was like everyone's, like it's door dash and and I'm like, well, they drove it to you. They use their gas. They got it 90. What do you say? 95 percent of the way even more probably maybe more, and they're like I would reduce the or I would take the tip away.
Speaker 2:I blah, blah and I was like whoa bro see, that's the thing I think they're gonna run into is people like that, and so I don't think it would be worth it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wonder if they would message beforehand, although, because before they pick it up, like what a hassle that would be too.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, before.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Uh yeah, yeah, they do, they're getting the orders Cause I think in in a lot of people said, well, my drive-thru doesn't do this. Well, during covet it was different. But now, um and then, as as it was opening it up, as as we were open up as a country, I noticed more and more wanting you to not use the drive-thru and go in. But now it's kind of flipped back the other way and I, I can, I can almost exclusively go through the drive. I actually pick.
Speaker 2:If the drive-thru is busy, I'll go right, yeah if it's not busy, yeah, I'm not going to the drive-thru. I drive through the drive-thru. I actually pick. If the drive-thru's busy, I go in. If the drive-thru's busy, yeah, I'm not going to the drive-thru.
Speaker 1:I drive-thru the drive-thru and no one ever says you have to come in. I haven't had that. I mean again, I don't deliver a lot of food, I do enough, but yeah yeah, you do a fair amount.
Speaker 2:I mean like I can't. I can't speak as knowledgeable as you, but, um, yeah, I've said something there's nights when I've just, you know, didn't feel like going in, or you know, it's raining or something, no whatever like, yeah, I'm just going through the drive-thru and yeah, I haven't. I haven't had any pushback on that either yeah, um, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I I want to be sensitive to somebody that has a disability.
Speaker 2:Uh, but what about? What about places you pick up that don't have drives?
Speaker 1:well, that's the thing. I, the the dasher, would have to filter what orders they take. Yeah, you know, I mean you're an independent contractor so you can deny anything you take. I don't know. It was so funny like most of the comments on youtube were like positive, like yeah, good job, person, way to get that hustle on tiktok was like slaying this person. It was just like damn, I don't know. I'm sensitive both ways, like I want them to be able to work to to supplement their disability, but I also yeah, god there's.
Speaker 2:I mean in my, in my opinion, I, I, personally, I, I wouldn't do it. But if they want to do it and they're, they're, they, they're fine putting up with the, you know, pushback they get from customers and those kinds of things and and they're so happy doing it more prior to them.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Yeah, I mean I as a customer, if that happened, um, I would just go get it. Now Someone did bring up a good point that's a safety issue and that is a really good point, because if you know, let's you know, just get, get on with it that the males are ass, are weird and stupid, and it's a female customer and she's got to walk out to a male car. I mean I wouldn't want my daughter doing that.
Speaker 2:No, no, I wouldn't either.
Speaker 1:I would not either. I mean he's, he's, it's just, it's just weird. So I, I, I that's valid for me as well, like it's a safety issue.
Speaker 2:So right, that's, that's what I'm talking about, where if this person, you know, had a, had an order and he was delivered to a female and it's at night and they're just going to know I'm canceling, I'm not coming out and I just I think you would. There would be so many things you would run into. I just think it would be, uh, such a hassle yeah, thanks all for the likes.
Speaker 1:Katie marie on tiktok yeah, I, I, I would just do it because I don't want to re reorder my food. I'm just gonna do it. But again, I wouldn't want my daughter to do it.
Speaker 2:And I didn't say whether there was a male or female.
Speaker 1:No, there was no gender spoken about it, so right um that's what I thought but as I was like commenting on a lot of stuff, I was starting to lean towards like, yeah, maybe uber is a better fit, because, like, they're disabled but they don't want to, you know. Because like, oh, you can work an office job, but they don't want a nine to five. Right, they want that flexibility, like we like it, and so they're trying to do it, but like, I don't think that is a good fit for you. Now, I don't know the rules of the ADA, like the American Disabilities Act. How does that work with independent contractor? Because you apply for DoorDash, they don't ask all that stuff. Right, if they got deactivatedated, could the person say, well, you just deactivated me because of my disability, or no? No, we deactivated because you fucking shitty reviews yeah, yeah, yeah, you have a horrible rating yeah.
Speaker 1:So I mean, they could probably get away with it and and skirt the system. But I often wonder. You know, people are like, well, they need to. Somebody was like doordash needs to vet their employees a little bit. I'm like, seriously, bro, like do you? You do you know how all this works, because there is no vetting. If you have a pulse, a social security number and a driver's license, you're good. Yeah, you're good.
Speaker 2:So yeah, steve said they just should just deliver drugs on uber eats like a normal person. That can't get out. Yeah, exactly, exactly see hey, give a shout out to see we appreciate him.
Speaker 1:He's got a big milestone tomorrow yeah 500th episode yeah, thursday night, it's not like the 5000th episode. As much as he content, as he puts out well, 500 seems seems right, because he puts out like two a week, so and we're at like two something yeah, almost 268. I think that's way low for us. I feel like I they got misnumbered somewhere, because I feel like we're way over 268 I don't know I'd have to go back and look, but that sounds like a lot of work. 499 shows of ignoring the we'll get the intern to do that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the intern ignoring the chat. Do you know, steve, he can't get josh. You know, steve, he can't get buried in the chat because he'll lose.
Speaker 2:He'll lose his place go down a rabbit hole and never see the light of day especially when you don't have a co-host that kind of you know we kind of reel you back in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we kind of monitor each other a little bit and like, right, you know, when I'm not talking, larry's like okay, moving on anyway. So uh, appreciate that conversation about that, okay. Uber driver Northern California outsmarts teen with a loaded gun. Oh boy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so this happened, as you said, Northern California, around two o'clock in the afternoon. Uber driver picked up I think there was like four, four a team, but I think there was more than one. I think later on it says there was four passengers. So she picks up these four passengers and during the ride she looks, I guess, in a ruby mirror and noticed that the kid's got a rifle. Jesus, yeah, not a handgun, he's got a rifle. They show a picture of it.
Speaker 1:That's terrifying.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's a pretty intimidating-looking rifle there with a huge magazine. That's like a 30 round magazine in that thing, if that's the actual rifle that he got in with. So the driver is a woman, so another, another intimidating thing. So she, when she saw the rifle, she and she did really good she made an excuse to stop at a nearby business. I don't know if she said she had to get gas or whatever it was, but she made an excuse to stop at a nearby business and once she was safely away from the vehicle she asked someone in the business to call 911. Okay, she responded and detained the four passengers, including the 17-year-old boy who was found with a loaded rifle, the high high capacity magazine. He was and it shows that he was on already on juvenile probation.
Speaker 2:He was arrested and booked in the Sacramento County juvenile hall. So remember, I know how scary it is to find a gun in your car. If you don't even, and, man, I mean I don't even but, and man, I mean I don't. It goes, you know. It just points out that that you should, as drivers, try to look at your passengers when they're getting in. I can't say much. You know, I've had people get in with with items that I hadn't noticed of course, because you're not turning around just staring at them the whole time.
Speaker 2:But this is not a small rifle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't understand these kids. What the fuck.
Speaker 2:What do you think? Yeah, what are you doing?
Speaker 1:What do you think is going to happen? Yeah, I mean, you're stupid, you're going to get caught. So they weren't threatening at all, they just happened to have it on their lap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, they didn't go into a lot of detail about it, but um, have you ever driven people that were um carrying, not concealed?
Speaker 1:I feel like I've had one, but it's. It sounds familiar, but it may be not. I'm sure you have in Kentucky.
Speaker 2:I have. Yeah, there was one guy who was always him and his daughter and I mean he had it, you know, strap like on his leg, like with straps, not just like a side holster. Um, nice, you know, nice enough guy. I always picked him up and he was, he walked with a pretty good limp, um, and I always took them to their house, up up to this convenience store and back home. Never had any problem with him, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean technically, he's violating terms of service.
Speaker 2:Well, so am I. What the fuck.
Speaker 1:This is live Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep beep Wait.
Speaker 2:Hey, I didn't say how I was violating.
Speaker 1:I'm like hitting all the buttons.
Speaker 2:Exactly See what happens.
Speaker 1:They all play yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, he didn't put up, he was not, you know, threatening in any way shape or form. I never felt, you know, felt bad about it or anything like that. I'd rather know. If somebody hit us, have one. I'd rather know and not know.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean in, in the grand scheme of things though, you're the I don't understand the open carry like I'm fine with it, whatever, I've seen it at meyer or whatever, it's totally fine but like if something happens they're gonna shoot you first. You know what I mean. Like, at least, carrying concealed, you have some sort of element of surprise to if you have to use it. But yeah, I don't, I don't know it's the right, I guess.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dumb yeah, yeah, I've seen it here. Uh, you know, in different, different places around town. You know grocery stores in different places yeah people, people carrying um. But yeah, I'm like you. If, if I'm, if I was, I wouldn't want people to know about it Exactly All right.
Speaker 1:Moving on to some exciting news Waffle House delivery is here.
Speaker 2:Oh man, this could be bad for me.
Speaker 1:You know my family. Where were we going? Oh, I think we were in Florida. They wanted to go. So bad I'm like I am not going to that dump. Oh, it's nothing but crack whores and and no, I, I seen too many stories at about it. I'm not going. We didn't go, we didn't go.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I can't believe you denied your family that that great adventure it's it's see, you didn't say good food, you said great, no, no no, before that they. I said good food. I love they have good food really I like their. I like their food. Um, they have some like hash brown bowls. They're really good. I spent many, many a night in waffle house god damn it.
Speaker 1:Everyone says they're great, they are shit. Now I feel bad now. Next time we go to clear, you know how it is.
Speaker 2:You go to a town and where's the best food? It's at the little greasy spoon that you, you know. You don't expect it to be good food. It's, it's good food well, I mean I.
Speaker 1:I look at like the, the, the. Well, I hate it, not because of the food, I hate it from what I see online about waffle house. Yeah, I mean there are adventures.
Speaker 2:You, you don't know. You never know who you're gonna run into. Uh, at a waffle house. That's for sure, josh, I'll get back to you. Um, yeah, I mean, stuff goes down at waffle what was that?
Speaker 1:we can't hear you. I muted his mic. Um, so how does the food compare to? Like denny's, I think it's better, I was gonna say, because I don't think denny's is great either no, of course, our denny's went away I mean, of course it's great when you're hammered, like you know everyone talks about remember the pizza place down by us. Everyone's like oh, vito's, vito. Yeah, it ain't that great, right? Unless you're hammered, unless you're well or have a good buzz on it, like yeah, but see, I mean I never have a buzz on it.
Speaker 2:I still love Waffle.
Speaker 1:House. That's true, all right, oh gross, oh yummy. Oh, you guys are serial killer. I hate it. I hate it. I can't even talk about um. All right, I'm gonna try it, though, so anyways, sit back.
Speaker 1:Get a hash brown bowl, okay yeah, wild house delivery is here all night, all locations powered by doordash. Uh, starting today, they announced a rollout of all night delivery, 9 p to 8 am for off house powered exclusively by doordash. Drive on demand. Um, so that's basically the gist of it. Um, I didn't know. So does doordash deliver all 24 hours a day in every area?
Speaker 2:no, so what it is? Um, I think I think I remember reading this um, there's to be certain cities that you can get it all the time, but most of the places it's only from like 9 PM to 5 AM or 4 AM, something like that. Okay, uh, most of the places are just going to do that, but there are, there are certain markets where they will deliver.
Speaker 1:In regards to Waffle House or just in general?
Speaker 2:Yeah, um, I'm not sure what you're asking.
Speaker 1:I'm asking if doordash delivers 24 7 for the waffle house in those cities or just in general. They deliver for 24 hours, like for everything oh, doordash, uh, doordash here.
Speaker 2:Um, I don't know, I don't do enough folk to know if they deliver 24 hours yeah I know, uh, they used to not well. Grubhub used to not. I know, yeah, I don't know. I don't do enough to know if they deliver 24 hours. Yeah, I know they used to not Well Grubhub used to, not, I know. Yeah, I don't know about DoorDash.
Speaker 1:I don't ever look at those times. Maybe next time I'm on there to see if I can deliver after midnight, but I would guess they probably do.
Speaker 2:They probably do. I'll check it out, doordash customer app and and see if I can, you know, order something if it'll, you know if it shows up or tells me it's closed yeah, steve says uh, 24-7 DoorDash in Denver, I would imagine in the bigger cities, but Grand Rapids, I mean, it hits midnight on a Tuesday and you it's crickets.
Speaker 1:You know it's crickets. So I mean there's probably a few bars that are maybe open past. I mean, most bars don't even stay open till 2 anymore, they're like 1 am. So really, yeah, unless they're like bar bars like um, you know, we have a country bar.
Speaker 1:That's just like there's no food, it's just you get drunk and maybe those are open till midnight or uh 2 a on the weekends, but we were at on Friday night. I went out with a bunch of friends after the Whitecaps game and, yeah, that bar closed at 1 am.
Speaker 2:Really Well, I think. The bars are still open until 2.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, larry, I was out until 1245 last Friday. Technically it was Saturday. Oh, my Friday Dude. Well, technically it was Saturday.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can you believe that? Me, the guy that likes to be in bed at 9, 8, 9 pm.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you, man, you were wrecked for the rest of the weekend.
Speaker 1:I know, and I had two beers and some wings and I'm just like this is.
Speaker 2:Are you ready to go? I'm so tired.
Speaker 1:I, I can imagine all right. So, yeah, that's good, we're going to clear water, possibly for our our trip, and there's waffle houses.
Speaker 2:There we're going. Oh, let's do it, man. I'll be the first there.
Speaker 1:I will only accept it at 3 am, though I don't want to go during the day well, yeah, I mean it's like same thing with um.
Speaker 2:Since covid, some of them don't stay open yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, why would they yeah? So it's so funny.
Speaker 2:We have, um, we haven't, we have i-65, you know, cuts across through the kind of the edge of bowling green, the east side of bowling green, uh, if you get off the exit, uh, there's one on each which, whichever where you go, really there's one on each, whichever way you go.
Speaker 1:Oh really.
Speaker 2:There's one on each side.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's hilarious. I hope the guy owns both of them at least.
Speaker 2:Wouldn't it be funny if?
Speaker 1:it was competing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They build them that close together. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:Josh the weekend. Well, I didn't work this past weekend, but the college kids it's been much better. It's been much, much better since college kids have been back I mean, obviously you still have the upfront pricing, but yeah um, at least it's busier.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2:I meant to tell you I didn't story from the road from the previous week. You remember? You remember nick, you did the documentary on. Yes, yeah, so I was right. I picked up a guy and, um, uh, he was like hey, he's like, are you, are you the lifting with Larry guy? And I'm like yeah, I was like have you ridden with me? He's like no, but I'm really good friends with Nick. I was like, oh man, how's Nick? He's like it's crazy man. He. He actually came into town last night and, uh, it surprised me at work, cause this guy works at a. But I was like, so how next time? He said he's down atlanta, you know that's where nick was from and he's got his own production company.
Speaker 2:No, way he's like the official videographer for some state representative there head of his media department. So very cool man, tell me so he. He texted him right. Then he's like guess who picked me up in my left and it came back about five minutes later. He's like larry and all capital letters. That's amazing. Yeah, that was so much fun when he rode around and I'd have to leave him. You're like no, don't leave nick on the curb, man don't leave me.
Speaker 1:I did, did. Did you ever send that to us? Did I ever see it? Yeah, yeah, I'll send it to you, fuck I don't remember anything about it.
Speaker 2:I'm terrible with that memory stuff yeah, I mean, that was that's been a few years ago. Yeah, yeah, he was great, he was. We had so much fun when cause people get in, like they were just so shocked Cause I always had to ask him you know, hey, this guy like getting in there and and and you know what's going on and why are you making this documentary? So then he would tell them about my instagram and they would look it up and they go.
Speaker 1:I know that he's like well, that's why I'm doing the documentary yeah, I gotta see that, because I did, was there a lot of in-car footage and stuff not a ton.
Speaker 2:I mean it was more kind of about I mean there, there's, there's some, but uh, I want to see the b roll. Yeah, he's got it. I don't have to be here.
Speaker 1:The B roll is like all the stuff inside the car that they never used, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it was, it was great. He rode with me around three or four weeks and uh uh, you know, got got in on the, you know got to know people through the telegram yeah, you know, because that's when it was hot and heavy, oh god, telegram was hot and heavy back then yep, yep, all right, speaking of hot and heavy waybo in the news, all right, so this is 59 seconds.
Speaker 1:I didn't listen to the audio. I don't know if we have to watch at all, but uh, this is a car that went down the wrong path. Jeez, creeper, okay, okay, we get it like I thought he was gonna like. Look in the window. Uh, you hear that little whine when you go by. That's the electric car. Mine sounds like that too. It's so funny it. There's no motor sound, but there is a little bit of a whine there while it's hard for audio listeners.
Speaker 2:This, this waymo, had gone down and almost looked like a little alley or a walkway or something, but it got to the end of it and there's metal poles blocking the way so it could not get out.
Speaker 2:In the comments the person who videotaped it said that like it was there for like 20 minutes oh really yeah, because most people were like, well, they can back up you because people have ridden it, and we're like, yeah, we had a delivery truck come in front of us and our Waymo had to back up you know and all that. So you know they don't have any trouble backing up, but apparently this one was there for a little bit.
Speaker 1:That was you say it's a path, but it was pretty wide. I mean the car had no problem being on it no, yeah, it was definitely wide enough, but obviously, with the poles blocked off, there's not not not meant to drive vehicles through there I often wonder if it was like an alleyway shortcut and then after they were like, okay, we're just gonna put up poles up, but you think they would put them up on the other side too?
Speaker 2:yeah, so nobody can get that far and then have to turn right I was beginning to think that guy walked in the street.
Speaker 1:That car was so close.
Speaker 2:I was like yeah, yeah, but then do you see, I think he was zoomed in yeah, because then for a minute he zoomed back out, because yeah, that was in the comments too. Somebody was like dude, you're always walking through traffic looking through your phone I was like are we gonna?
Speaker 1:are we gonna watch a guy die today, like damn yeah, exactly because it did look pretty close.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I kind of went like that.
Speaker 1:I mean I'm assuming they would have said that in the comments and we would have seen them fall. But yeah, I mean those are the things I often think about too. Like I can see the technology like going forward it doesn't seem that complicated to me but like backing up and maneuvering into, like it just seems like there's got to be so much going on and like looking and like think how many times you're looking and checking and like trying to turn left out of out of a street and you're just doing this right it blows my mind hey, pete, what's up?
Speaker 2:um, it's probably that's where. That's where computers are probably better than us, because looking, looking back, trying to back up, yeah, we're trying to look at all ways, but they've gotten all that input all at once I know and I know they're probably better at it than we they probably are, but and I can't shit on it too much I may have gone down that alley too.
Speaker 1:I mean, I still find uh maps, even in this day and age. Sometimes in the city is fucked up like the google maps is messed up and I happen to I happen to catch it before I go down there.
Speaker 2:But so, um, you know, I'm not, I'm not, uh, I'm not too hating on them too much, because I've probably done the same damn thing oh yeah, yeah, if I would have been coming in and then it's open like that, you know, like I said, you know there's probably not a sign, even or anything that says right, don't go down that way. Yeah, I imagine they're probably not the only car that's ended up at that spot well, the difference between you and I.
Speaker 1:We wouldn't sit there for 20 minutes. We'd throw that bitch in reverse and we'd be like yeah, three point turn man we're gone.
Speaker 2:We're out, that's right. We're out here making money, right we ain't got time for that shit. We got time for nobody got time for that uh, skip the ad.
Speaker 1:Uh, larry, disturbing sign on customers front door. I see these all the time.
Speaker 2:I don't know how disturbing they are, but yeah, so this, uh, this sign is on the door if somebody's making a delivery here to this home, and it says we shoot one out of three unwanted visitors, excluding first responders and neighbors, solicitors, salesmen are 100 mortality rate by ringing the doorbell. You agree to the terms of this interaction. May the odds be ever in your favor. So do you feel lucky? Well, do you punk?
Speaker 1:I feel like he's got so many lines in there like, yeah, may the odds be ever in your favor. That's from the Hunger Games. I don't know where the other one is.
Speaker 2:Do you feel lucky? That's from.
Speaker 1:Clint.
Speaker 2:Eastwood's Dirty.
Speaker 1:Harry movie Dirty Harry. Yeah, I was like okay, bro, I don't know, those don't really bother me at all, I just go up and deliver it. I don't know that one seems to be funny, like that looks like more of a funny one. But I I do see a lot that are seem a little rough, like they're gonna fuck you up or whatever. But I I just like I'm here to deliver. Are you really gonna? I don't know, I mean.
Speaker 2:I mean I don't see the point of it. I mean you're probably gonna end up getting your stuff delivered in the street.
Speaker 1:Well yeah, I know, you know I know a lot of drivers that if there's a dog they're not delivering like I'll deliver with a dog. I just assess the dog and sure I'm not hating on them for not delivering for a dog, but how do you even deliver packages then?
Speaker 1:I mean there's dogs everywhere, yeah there's so many dogs, so many dogs, um, but it is true. I mean, going back to the dog thing, it is on the homeowner's responsibility to restrain their dog. The problem is a lot of dogs have like underground fencing so they have full access to the lawn and you don't know when amazon's gonna exactly deliver right, right, yeah, you just get a window right.
Speaker 1:But going back to that sign, I don't really think they're putting it on for the amazon driver. I think they're putting it on to keep riffraff like threatening riffraff out or salesmen, salesmen or Jehovah Witness.
Speaker 1:Today I was pulling out to head to my afternoon route and, sure as shit, some sales guy was walking up to the neighbors and I like hit the garage because Megan was home. I'm like hit the garage door. I sent her a message like don't answer the door, which we don't. No, we don't either. I've trained my kids I need to get a no soliciting sign. I heard those don't even work. Maybe it works for some people, but maybe not all of them. But the camera will go off. I'll look at it.
Speaker 2:Or if I don't answer the door, yeah, yeah, we don't, especially in my wife's home. She sure her, our, our, uh you know our daughter, uh, they're sure not going to answer the door. Um, if it's daytime, uh, I may answer the door, just because if I don't, they're probably going to come back, and they probably come back when I'm not there. So I'd rather just go ahead and tell them you know, my, my general things, as I was open door. I'm sorry, I don't buy anything from door to door. You know people and you know, just let them know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, pete, there too, it says the problem with door to door sales on these days are 75% of their energy scammers. Yeah, we'll don't get those in my area. Really, I don't know why I don't. I don't get them. I mean, I don't talk to them. I assume they leave something. Uh, maybe not, but, um, I get the ones where they'll they'll ring. Though we have like a wise doorbell, they'll ring that. Then they'll knock on the door, then they'll ring it again. Like it's like a five minute ordeal and I'm like are you really gonna spend five minutes at a door where the garage doors down, the dogs are barking? We're not answering the door, right, just not going to do it. It's just so fucking annoying. How is that a thing of business? How, in today's age, in 2025, with the access to the Internet, why are we still doing that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right, and sometimes I'll answer them, I'll talk to them through my ring doorbell. Oh really, yeah, can I help you? Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, we're not. I'm sorry, not interested, all right, you know sorry. We don't buy from door to door salesmen, you know, that's just so they.
Speaker 1:Or I think, the other one. Not that day, but in two weeks or two months. They're going to swing by again. They're not going to care.
Speaker 2:Well, I know, but there's less chance of them coming back, like later that day or the next day.
Speaker 1:True, when I'm not there. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I mean yeah, they may come back. It's going to be a different salesman, probably in two months or three months or whatever it is. I had a.
Speaker 1:I had a pretty aggressive salesman and him and I got into a little interaction.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, and since then I've decided not to not to go outside, cause he was like it was pest control and he was on the sidewalk and I told him no, no, thank you. And then he walked up on the on the driveway near, near where I was and I was like I said no, thank you, yeah, and he kept coming and I was like get the fuck off my lawn. You know what I mean I'm like? And he's like, oh man, what the fuck? You know, he was like I was like whatever, and I was. I said something like you know, this is what men do when they're mad. We insult their manhood. I was like, why?
Speaker 1:don't you get a real fucking job and get the fuck off my lawn or something like that so ever since then I was like you know that escalated in a way I didn't like.
Speaker 2:I'm just gonna avoid them in the future because they irritate me sure sure, yeah, yeah, some of them, I mean they and they really think, if they just keep bugging you, you're gonna, you're gonna buy something. I know, I mean you're just, they're just irritating you. I don't, I I've had. I've had one really at home, but I had one at a um, I can. It's like an appliance store. I can't remember the name, hh Greg, because HH Greg's okay and uh, this dude just kept like following me around oh, like in the store in the store.
Speaker 2:Well, it got worse in the store and I was like I'm just looking, I don't need your help, I'll let you know. I'll let you know. And he would not get off. Dude followed me into the parking lot. Into the parking lot, I said, dude, you need to go back inside right now. Yeah, I don't like, I don't know who you get where, how you got trained, but this is not how you sell stuff, man. I I would never buy anything from you doesn't it see?
Speaker 1:that's the thing. Look how irritated you are right now. That's the the problem, yeah.
Speaker 2:I never went back in HHGRAG. He ruined it for that store.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't like that approach, like who buys after that approach? I think they do it to women I mean no offense women, but I think they do that and they think it works. But like you're not going to do that with me, like I'll talk, I'll have a conversation, but in that moment I didn't want to. I was like no, thank you, I was doing something out in the yard, I was weeding the garden or whatever, and I'm just like no, I don't. And the guy looked like a douche. Anyways, that's probably already no offense to douches.
Speaker 2:That's right, Pete. He wouldn't let him have the ox cord either.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, you in my oxford I'll, I'll die before I give that to you. Oh, that's great. All right, we're gonna wrap it up, uh, patreon, tonight at 8 10 pm.
