You've Jason won Strove for DoorDash. You've retired now though, Yeah,
because you're syndicated. Yes, so you don't you don't have
to do that. No, you don't have to do that anymore.
I mean none of us have seen a dollar. But yeah, yeah,
you're out my red bag. Yeah you're syndicated. How many
people did you tell yesterday that you were syndicated? I
mean a lot of people just knew from whatever. But
in my life I to look at people and they're like,

(00:22):
you know, what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Like I don't really really know. Yeah, it's like what's
for dinner? I was like, and he's like, I don't
understand what this means. As You're like, well what does
this mean?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Right?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And I've got around the house, I'm like, I'm syndicated, right,
syndicated talent.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, you know me, I'll use any excuse whatsoever to
eat you know, food I'm not supposed to eat. So
of course we're syndicated now. So I had to go
eat chicken McNuggets yesterday, because well that's what that's what
you do sell mar movie. Yeah I thought so too,
And yes, I had to go down there and like
lady was like, what do you want. I'm like twenty
piece of nugget. I'm syndicated twenty nice And she was like,
I don't know what that. Let's us you go with fuddy.

(01:01):
I'm a barbecue guy. I'm you know, that's the og. Yeah,
everything about McDonald's is nostalgia. Everything about McDonald's to me
tastes like my childhood. It's amazing the value of nostalgia.
I still do things to this day. I ordered the
same thing at McDonald's, order the same breakfast. I get
some of the same stuff because it reminds me for
some reason, like as soon as I take a bite,
I'm like brought back to you know, a happy time. Yeah,

(01:25):
sometimes not so happy man. So, you know, on honor
of you being a DoorDash driver, how would you have
handled this? A woman shared how she was asked to
complete her husband's door dash order despite being with him
in the emergency room. So the Texas based door dasher
got into an accident while working and was rushed at
the hospital. Miranda was told that her husband had been

(01:45):
in an accident. He was okay, but the car, I
guess had been completely destroyed. So none of the people
involved in the accident, were seriously hurt, thankfully, and the
couple were waiting for the doctor. He realized the DoorDash
order was still in progress, so he tried to cancel it,
but it was all over the place. He didn't know
he was doing. He was obviously, you know, traumatized by
what happened to him. She said, I tried help thing

(02:05):
and accidentally called the customer and let her know what happened.
I found a contact support button and it gave me
a bot. Eventually she winds up talking to an agent
and the person goes, too bad to know about that situation,
but can you complete the order? What what? This woman
laughed and apparently a spokesperson for doordsk and the interaction

(02:27):
with our support team falls below the high standards we
have set for ourselves at door Desk, especially during assing,
distressing and scary time. We take these matters seriously and
are urgently investigating.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
But yeah, oh man, your husband's not okay. I oh wow,
that's a shame. Right. Anyway, it's the food cold though, right.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I had to call somebody once because it was like
a double order. So I was doing the first delivery
and then I went to go get back in my car,
and the battery was dead and I had their food,
so I was like, okay, Well, so I called the
customer and I was like, well, you can either cancel
the order or I'm like two blocks over if you
just want to come grab it. So then she just
came and got it, and I just to hold customer
support like sorry, like my car's done.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
What are you going to do? Joint your food or
do you not want your food? Chef? That happened before
the one, but I think they were lying because all
order something good and then it's like I'm watching it
on the tracker, It's like, why are they driving away
from my house? Like they let's the restaurant and went
the opposite direction. I'm like, that's not how you get here.
And then and then you get the message like it's
taking a little longer than expect. It's like, you're right,

(03:31):
it is is they're going the wrong way. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
The best is when people cancel. I ended up with
like two huge bags of I hop one time because
people just canceled it, and I was like I got
all these things, like it took forever because the restaurant
was super slow. So then by the time I got it,
and then I was driving it there, I think they
were just like.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Over and screw it.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
And then it's like, oh, you can either keep it
or like you know, give it away.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I'm like, what do you do? What do you do
with it? Like yes, like it's yours?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, all over and just ate that thing.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I did.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
