It looks good. You got a new knee. Man, You
ready to get out? I got it? I'm going, you
got I'm going. Yeah. All right, it's Mojo in the
morning show. I want to get this person on the
air to talk about it. The only problem is this
person is never up before ten am because they go
out all the time. They go out at night, and
they're always you know, out late and then late going
(00:24):
home and sleeping in till ten I don't think they've
ever listened to this radio show. But so, my buddy's
daughter has this happening. She's like mid twenties and she
has this going on lately. And he was telling me
the story. He was telling me a story about how
she will go out with her girlfriends and they will
hang out in like Birmingham, which is a suburb here
(00:46):
in the area that has a lot of restaurants and
you know, late night fair and she won't drive to
Birmingham because obviously she wants to drink and have some cocktails,
and so she'll take an uber home. And he was
telling me that she no longer can take ubers home.
She has to call him or call her mom to
come pick her up because the uber drivers are creepy.
(01:12):
So let me let me read real quick, because I
wrote down some of the comments that he made, the
quotes and stuff. He said, Okay, here you go. Here's one.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
This is just one driver.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No, this is numerous drivers. OK okay. So this has
happened to her numerous times from different drivers, and I
don't know as a woman if I would get into
an uber after hearing some of these things. It starts
with the guys asking where's your boyfriend? Where's your husband?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Why are they asking that? You know the driver? And
then it goes into are you dating right now? And
what kind of guys do you date? Two? In some
of the cases she's had it where the guys would
talk to her about how beautiful she is or how
she looked that night and say, you look really good.
Were you drinking tonight? Like asked that question almost in
(02:01):
kind of a way that you're like, what's up? And
one particular guy he was telling me drove her to
her house. Now she lives with her parents, So drove
her to her house which her parents are there, and
got out of the car and said, I want to
make sure you get to the door to walk her
to the door. Yeah, all right, somebody needs to talk
to me about this. Somebody needs to tell me. I
(02:23):
thought we had Uber woman or whatever it was. Wasn't
there so uber and not? By the way, I believe
that they have all these levels of Uber, but there's
really no level, because I did. I tried to get
an Uber black one time because I figured to myself,
I want to get an Uber black. It was a
super rope. You can't what was her name? The driver?
(02:45):
Actually you know what? It was a black man. I
looked at him, my guard, are you driving a woman's
car right now? Whose car are you driving? Is Renee
Rene's car?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I mean, the second half of the comments are definitely
very creepy. Have you been drinking?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Is?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Here's the thing, well me, if.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I'm an Uber driver, I want to know in case
you try to throw up in my back seat or something.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
But if it's to that point, I know I don't
need to ask, you know, you know, if somebody's going
to vomit and if they're very clearly intoxicated.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I said to my friend, I said, like, how safe
do you feel about this? And he said, he said, honestly,
I would rather wake up in the middle of the
night or late, you know, middle of the night. For him,
it's probably ten o'clock at night or something like that.
But I'd rather wake up f from a sleep to
go pick her up, or know that I have to
stay up to go pick her up at like midnight
or whatever it is making sure she gets home safe. Yeah,
(03:40):
you know, Yeah, that's it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I feel blessed. I've never had a creepy Uber experience.
And I actually have had an Uber driver who walked
me to my garage.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But he was this little, sweet old man.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I had had him several times and I had been
drinking and he was like, I'm just going to walk
you do And I didn't think anything right. I mean
when I say old, he was probably eighty.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
What would you what do you think he would have done?
But he had a hard stack if you said for
a night down. He did not feel anything weird. He
was very kind. The old guy's great until as uh, Nicole,
(04:20):
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (04:23):

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I'm a list driver And with Uber they do background checks,
but they do not They're not.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
As contingent on like your background check. You can have
a felony and still drive for Uber.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Really, that doesn't mean but not even that, not even
that that's terrible. If that's true, it's you don't you
don't need to have a record to just be creepy.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Right, But but you can also like if still for
somebody on the platform driving for Uber.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Somebody else that you don't know could be also.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Driving for them, Like the lift, they do.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Verific identity verification, so they know.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
That you're the one driving.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Interesting where they don't they.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I've had that happen to me, Nicole, where a driver
showed up and him like, that wasn't the person in
the picture, Like, you're not, Yeah, that has happened. That's
I'm confused.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Like a friend of yours could drive off of.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Your off of your account, using your account. Wow, hold
on a second here, Michelle, what's up, Michelle? How you doing?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Hey? We were taught not to get in cars with strangers.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Get cars with strangers, and isn't that crazy? It doesn't
make any sense, Michelle, Michelle, have you ever been in
a ride share and felt uncomfortable?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
When I was out in Orange County, California, I thought
I was gonna die.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
What happened? This guy was creepy?
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Took us like on detours.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He took us on tours where we weren't going where
we're I was with a friend of mine and.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I was like, where are you going?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And he's like, well, I got to go this pot
and I'm like, no, you don't, Okay, So you bring
up a really interesting point. He told me that that
happened to his daughter once too, so he doesn't. He
lives like off of the main drag that goes through
the town that she goes to. Like, he lives right
off of that. He started doing side roads.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
See.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'm cool with that though, because if there's a straight
line one streets.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Sometimes I tell you like this sometimes when I take
because if I'm drinking and I live downtown and I'm
going to, like, say, for example, my cousin's wedding last Friday,
the lift had has taken away that I wouldn't have
taken because I know a better route in order to
get there. Yeah, we all have that where a lift. Well,
seeing you left and you're like, no, why would they
send me that direction? I should have got this one.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So I always and I think a habit when I
get into uber. I just started using Lyft, which actually
I like better, but I always put a map to
the destination if I don't know where I'm going to
the destination on my like I pull up Google Maps
if I'm in another town and put the hotel in
there so that I can like kind of follow along
on my own, because well, you will see where your
(07:09):
driver's going.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But on your uber you can see their map that
it's telling them to go.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, I know what I'm saying. I'm not paying at Like, yeah,
I'm kind of not paying attention, but I got.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Beared off of that map, like the map of where
they're going, like he went on he which.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Is exactly why I do what I do. I do
it all the time when I'm in another city.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You shouldn't be allowed to go off of their map
because it is identifying where you're going. What's up, Stephanie,
how you doing. I'm doing good.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
I'm the first time, long time, really long time.
Speaker 3 (07:41):

nice guy. And since Wynn is walking someone to the
door a red.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Flag, well when she's wearing a mini skirt and had
just had a bunch of espresso martini's, you know, I.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Don't know I think it's just her perception and they
could have just been nice, innocent.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Dudes that please please be safe out there. Stephanie, thank
you for the call. Jovine, what's up?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Von? Hey, Mojoe, Good morning everybody. Just real quick. I've
been doing this full time overnight in the Detroit area,
only at night. I have gotten pretty much only the
fun people. But all of the stories I get are
about the drivers being extra creepy. People are way too
relaxed and they don't pay attention. Everybody needs to be
(08:34):
careful because these drivers are too many. Unfortunately they're not
don't have the best intention. I hear it all the
time has been about stick.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Do you tell them, hey, you got to report that guy?
Because as of that does it the right way? I
would not want them out there, you know absolutely.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
And by the way, Lift is the sketchy one. I
heard the other lady say they you could have a
selling Me goes back about ten to fifteen years. Lift
does not go back as far. See.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I'm cool with that.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
I'm look listen, it's completely fine to do an in
depth check. But all of the sketchy stuff that I
that I'm hearing all the time is almost always on
the lift and just.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Though, as long as you want to lockdown for those
sex crimes, I'm straight. You got to be able to drive, bro,
Like have you went in there for money launder? And
what they got to do with me to start? But
we crimes, I'm okay with you know, I'm trying to
go to the store.

made it ten.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, when they say that to you, you're like, Okay,

I worry about you. I do worry about you because
I first off, I you know, I see that you
wear outfits that are very nice, and I worry, and
you're an attractive lady, and I and you you're going
home by yourself. I think you gotta, you know, be careful.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes, one time an uber I wanted to say this earlier.
He had to make a stop.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It was at his.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
House, No, I remember, And then I was like, this
is weird. So I looked in the trunk, shell Casings.

Keep Going showcase?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yes, how did you look in the trunk? You got
out of the car and I was in.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
The back seat, and I was like, why are we
stopping at his house? And then I just peeked in
the back seat Shell Casings. Luckily it was me and
a bunch of my friends. If I was by myself,
I would have got out of the car.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
