Speaker 1 (00:10):
Loud jo in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
So I would like to go on record that I
need representation. I'm going to hire an attorney. Maybe David
Femininio will be my attorney. I'm going to hire him
to represent me to sue Uber like they're suing the

(00:36):
lift people like for not allowing that lady to drive
in the car. My reasoning is, I completely I feel
like was getting scammed by an Uber driver. So when
I was down in Florida, I was taking an Uber.
I had taken Uber from the airport. And let me

(00:57):
ask you, guys a question, has this ever happened to you?
You either at you know, a situation like an Uber
or at a restaurant where somebody's working for a tip.
The entire time that we're driving, the guy is talking
to me about his life story and giving me like
the horrible things that have happened to him. I mean,

(01:17):
let me just say this to you. It was more
of a depressing car ride than driving through a snowstorm
in Detroit. That's how depressing this car ride was because
this guy was telling me his life story, and his
life story was not a good story. Then when we
finally reached the destination, he goes, hey, can you make

(01:38):
sure that your tip is just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Better than you'd normally do.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
You know, you've heard my story and I'm kind of
struggling a little bit, and this is kind of like
my thing I'm doing to try to make some extra money.
I felt like I was getting scammed. First off, I
felt like the entire ride was depressing as hell. Secondly,
I felt like the guy probably was telling me a
bunch of crap and a load of crap because he
was making in this story so far fetched and bad.

(02:03):
And I thought, Okay, here's how you can get a
good uber tip. Make it a comfortable ride for me.
Make the temperature be perfect, Like I like when the
driver says, hey, is temperature okay for you? If not, I'll,
you know, fix the temperature for you. Or hey, you
got you know, waters that are in the car, or
they're snacks or whatever the deal is, you know, or hey,

(02:23):
you can make phone calls in the car. Don't worry
about it. It's not bothering me while I'm driving. Like
I kind of like when they make it seem like
this car is there, mikasa souit casa me? What's the
Spanish for a real car, me automobile, your automobile. And
I kind of felt like the whole time that all

(02:44):
this guy was doing was just looking for his tip
and looking for a bigger tip. It kind of be
honest with you. It made me feel like I was
being held up, like, you know, like give me all
your money.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Man, I was gonna put this as a topic tomorrow,
but I feel like my situation she kind of speaks
to your situation. Yeah, yesterday I got a U Hog
because I got some old stuff in the crib that
I was packing up and needed to get out of there.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh, you're still not out of your old place.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
So all of the essentials are like everything I thought
I cared about. I knew there were a few things
that were there, but it's a lot more there than
I thought. It was like I could go back even
after the show, but in order to get so, I
go get the U Haul and I'm having a good time.
Shout out to Sianna, who was the woman that assisted me.
She says, make sure you leave us a great review.
We're one away from getting free lunch, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Like, okay, why not.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Where do I do it? I scan the thing I
write an incredible review. I say it out loud as
I'm doing it. I come back a few hours later
to drop off the car. There's a different woman there,
and I'm like, yeah, I left the review, so glad
you guys are gonna get your for your free lunch.
She's like, we just do it for bonuses.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
She lie bonus she scammed you, which, by the way,
I don't mind that so much because at least she is,
you know, just asking you to. She's not asking you
to take money out of your pocket to give them.
She wants to take money out of her work spot.
A lie is a lie, Okay. So when a person
tells you their story I almost feel like I need

(04:09):
to verify it from now on, Like, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Prove it.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Call your boss right now, you know, Like the uber
guy that was telling me the story about his wife
and she took the kids, call her and let me
talk to her time. Tell her you're on with some
stranger in the backseat of your car. I just don't
want like you, you get a tip by doing great work, right,

(04:34):
you know, Like I go to a restaurant, I'll go
to restaurants, and if I go to a restaurant. I
will give that you know server a great tip if
they're friendly, if they're asking, you know, hey, can I
you know, refill your drink? If they're attentive, like you know,
I got like to me like, that's the that's the best.
I will always you're getting twenty or higher, twenty percent

(04:55):
or higher on that tip. I never give less than
twenty percent because I'm afraid that somebody will go and
say something hey David Chucks social media, Yes, but niless
say I've always gone over and above if the person's fabulous,
you know, like there's some great you know servers we
have in all of our listening areas.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
And you can tell, you can tell that they care
about what they do and they make you feel spetter.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You're not just like the next table.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
But don't beg me for it, you know, don't begging
is you know literally do you might as well just
beg don't even drive?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
What's going on? Michelle? You there? Okay, I'm here, I'm good.
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (05:33):
So?

Speaker 4 (05:35):
So so I got to a car accident, long story short,
and I scheduled a lift.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I work at the Amphitheaters. Hi, Kevi, It's Michelle what up?

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Shall hey? So I take a book a Lyft to
get off.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
We get off for probably about twelve thirty at night.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
I'm waiting for the driver. I see the driver pull up.
My ride canceled and I'm like, why did it cancel?
I go to books charge thirty dollars more to rebook it,
and the driver was right there.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I've seen them pull in.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
He canceled the ride and I had to rebook with
the same driver.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I wonder if so he must know. I wonder if
they know their algorithm of when they're doing an excessive fare.
I hate, By the way, my thing that I hate
is your driver is on their way and either they're
not on their way, because all of a sudden, the
guy in the Kia cancels, and now I've got somebody
coming to pick me up in a Blazer, and I'm like,
wait a second, what happened to the Kia guy?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
The key?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
But they'll say that they'll cancer cancel, and I don't
know if these uber and lyft drivers get a choice
of this. And in that case, that guy must have
known that now he's going to charge you more and
you're going to have to give a.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Bigger percentage tip. Tiffany, what's up. It's mo Joe in
the morning. How you doing, biy good?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
How are you? Good morning?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Good morning? What's going on? Well?

Speaker 4 (06:53):
I am a hairdresser, and you would not believe the
stories that I get. When people are ready to pay
their bill. They are like, oh my gosh, my my
husband died two years ago. I've been in the hospit,
my teeth are a mass I'm so sad. I have
so many bills and they bring in their own shampoo

(07:14):
conditioner thinking they're gonna get a lesser charge. And then
yesterday I had a client that came in and her
bill was one point fifty. She pulls out her wallet
and she's like, oh, I only have one hundred and
forty five.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh my god, I feel so bad.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Like I'm like I feel really really bad. So I'm like,
you know what, that's fine, and then she goes, well,
I go do you want do you want something back?
I could take a card and she was like, no,
that's okay, just forget it. I just won't stop at
Wendy's on the way home today.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
But I gotta ask, though, like, do these people not
know their costs going in Bruh, they do.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
They absolutely do.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
I mean I've done this. Lady's here for twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Wait, this is a this is a client. This is
not a new customer.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
This is a client.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
That's a woman who's had that procedure done, whatever she
did to her hair, and you've charged her that she's
had that hair thing done and she's known that. Okay,
you know what at that point right there, at that
point right there, you're like, wait a second, when she
calls for a new rebooking, are you going to give
her a booking or what are you going to do?

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Oh, I'll give her a booking because the next time
I'll take a card.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
What you should do is you should tell them off
the bat before you even put the little cape around
their neck, and you should say to them, hey, listen,
last time you had some issues with you know what
was going on. I totally understand that, but I just
want to make sure before I start doing the work,
you know, like I almost feel it.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
That's a very good idea. And we've talked about doing
that because we all encounter that all the time all.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
The time, and I think I think that you know,
tips are one of those things where you know, we
were talking about how, you know, should there be guaranteed tips,
you know, like in should it just automatically be put
into the thing. I think that businesses should be upfront
and just say, yeah, you know what, we're automatically charging

(09:15):
you the money and putting the tip in there. Because
then I think what ends up happening is everything evens
the scales. The no tippers are going to have to
pay to go out and eat, and the good tippers
are going to actually maybe get a little bit money
back to themselves because they've been giving you more of
a tip, and maybe they'll maybe they'll still maybe they'll
you might even throw more money.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Whenever I go out to eat and I see gratuity
include it, I kind of I still tip. Yeah, Like
I've never looked at the deal sat of gratuity was included.
He's been like, oh, I guess it's just in there.
I'm gonna leave now.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Have you ever had it where gratuity is included and
the person doesn't tell you that gratuities into it, and
then you get scammed out of it, and then you're like,
wait a second, I'm reading I'm reading every receipt, do you. Yeah,
I'm so bad at that. I don't read the receipts.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm bad.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I actually was so bad. I used to leave the
duplicate receipt in there, and one time got scammed by
a guy that filled out the duplicate receipt because I
knew how much I tipped. And on my phone it
will say to me like it will come up on
my phone from my credit card under my Apple Pay
it will say how much the meal is, and then
it re ups again with a price showing the tip.
I left, really and I looked and the tip was

(10:21):
completely different.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
So you mean they do merchant copy and then they
do like customer copy. You say, you left both in there?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
He left, He did the merchant copy, he redid the tip. Yeah,
and added to the tip. And then I had a
situation where the person put one on the front of
the thing. Oh my god, Yeah, I look like soccer,
don't I look at it like this fat sucker. That's crazy.
I'm gonna take him for everything he's got. What's going on, Leila,
it's Mojo in the morning, high Layla.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Good morning.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
So I just started ubering about two weeks ago. And
I picked up a gentleman last Friday who was extremely
intoxicated at about eleven o'clock morning.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Had to air my car out for two hours.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh jeez.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Anyway, the whole time he was telling me about his
sexual encounters with his sugar mama, Susan, and he ended
up showing me a dick video. I say that, wow,
Like it was the most uncomfortable conversation.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
And he was like, I'm thirty eight, you're fifty to this.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
It's the perfect age.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
And I'm like nice.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
And then he told me he had this huge thing
and I'm like, I believe you.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Please don't.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
He showed you a person.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Wow, literally showed me a video of him with the thingy.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah it was Did he give you a good tap
at the end or no?

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Well no, because his sugar mama arranged.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
It, Susan.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
You know what you should have done. You had Susan's
numbers and she arranged it. You should have said, Susan,
was really nice that your guide sent this to me.
That guy's not taking anything for a while. He's going
to be a home in the basement, locked up.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Hey, thanks for the call. That's Layla on the phone.
What's up, Matt? How you doing?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (12:04):
What's up Mojo?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Hey? Yeah? First time, long time?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
So, as ah as a lip driver, we don't get
to choose who we pick up. We just accept or
deny a ride.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
But if we h sorry, I'm mean Kroger, we deny
a ride, Uh, it lowers our acceptance rate, so we
won't get a ride request.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
So as much question for you, then the overweight rapper
lady who will talk about in trending news, what would
if she came out to your car and you felt
like the car was not going to be comfortable for her?
You wouldn't say anything? Would you just let her try
to fit in the car.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
So I've had some some big people, and I use
a Ford edge. It's pretty comfortable even for the big guys. Yeah, However,
I have a seven a five year old. It does
not look like a seven and a five year old
ride in the back. I keep that thing spick and
span clean.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, and I.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Get compliments on that all the time. And now even
the back seats lean back for the bigger guys, Yeah,
and they love that.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, but answer the question though, if if that woman
you heard this story about how the guy, the lift
driver said no, you're too fat to get in here.
That guy, that guy should never be able to drive
a lift ever.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Again, I mean, it just depends on the passenger if
they complain about it.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Honestly, that does many or I don't think you know
the story?

Speaker 1 (13:39):
No, no, no, no, do you know the story? I do?

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah, don't get me wrong. I would never say that
to a passenger ever, Yeah, I would. I would try
to help them in. Hey, offer them the front seat,
you might have some more leg room.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
No, man, what that guy? Why they would do that?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That guy, that guy, that guy I think is gonna
end up cost then lift a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Oh, you'd be surprised. It's it's kind of a pain
in the butt to really complain about them, but hey,
if you can do it, more power to them.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, thank you for the call, buddy, I appreciate it.
What are you shopping for the grocery? Would love you
to do you serious?

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Water, milk, paper, towels, everything we ran out of after
the kids went to school.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, all right, thank you for the call. Man.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't think he understood what I was saying for
a while there, or he's just walking around and he's
losing his breath because I'm like, does this guy know
what the story is?

Speaker 1 (14:31):
D what's happening?

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Yes? Up?

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Hi, I'm an Uber driver as well.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm I was driving right now.

Speaker 7 (14:43):
Don't worry on my headphone.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Okay, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (14:46):
So?

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Yeah, we don't just pick about that girl.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
I've had people who get him out Uber.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
You know, you sign the type of Uber.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Ride you want.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
You know what you gotta talk on. You can't talk
on your speaker your headphones. Your headphones sound like crap.
Can you pick up the phone?

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, I don't care as long as sounds good. I
don't say that. I'll say you heard that? Is that better? Yeah?
It's better? What's going on? What we're gonna say?

Speaker 4 (15:15):
So you can side what kind of an Uber ride?
You know, if you're you're a head first, you know
you can get a larger hooper, but people choose to
get smaller because it's cheaper. I have four people get
in the car that if not for only three people,
and they would just pile up or laugh up because
it's the cheaper way to arrive.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So the woman, Yeah, she she got us. She got
a smaller car.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
They tell you, what of car is coming?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
No, I'm not blaming her on that she didn't been in.
She'd have been in cars before and it wasn't an issue.
I don't think she'd a problem here. Boy should have
did if he had a problem, he should have just
pulled off and didn't even stop and engage in conversation.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
If you don't act like.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
That, shouldn't he should let her sign herself and she will.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
But you do not.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
You don't body saying nobody was wrong.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I think what the guy honestly what I what I
would have done if I was him, I would have
stopped and I would have said, let me offer you
the front seat like that last caller said, or try
to see, you know, in the back seat. What happens
and if she's uncomfortable, she's riding uncomfortable?

Speaker 1 (16:22):
You know what I mean? What are you laughing? He's
in there talking about my tires?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
But if you I mean it, literally open up the
windows and you know, I don't know's what like make
her try to help her fit in the car I've
been in. I agree with that caller that said, Hey,
you know you can't fit in the car. Why are
you ordering the smaller car because you know it's cheaper.
I get that idea. Sometimes I will not I'll order

(16:55):
an Uber Excel because I am a bigger guy and
I'm not getting my ass in the back seat of,
you know, a car that I can't fit in on
He's been six foot three, you know, two hundred and
some pounds she done bent?

Speaker 1 (17:08):
How good is that feel to say you should be
three hundred?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
But but I know I'm serious though, But I get it.
I get I get what that guy is saying. But
the guys shouldn't have said you're too big for this car.
He should have just said, hey, you should see what
you can do drove off.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
If he was gonna be like that and canceled me, yeah,
I don't know. Uh, it's better than being a hole
and doing all what he did. If you weren't gonna
allow her to get in the car anyway, then why
are you stopping and having this conversation?

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Well it was that was dumb on his part. That
was really dumb. What's up, Chloe High?

Speaker 7 (17:41):
Like, what's up, Joey, I'm a driver for this and
I'm gonna say this, were he messed up at, He's
just he pulled up and he talked too much. Yeah,
he should have just if he was going decline the
route or whatever, he should have just pulled off because
honestly me, I mean, I drive a Lottle Corona, so
my back seat is spaces But I mean, she she's

(18:04):
just a little too big, you know what I'm saying.
So I just feel like where he messed up at
was just talking too much. Yeah, but at the end
of the day, like going off with what y'all were
saying with her getting that lyft right, she saw what
type of car was now, granted she might have thought
that she could fit.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I just feel like both of them.

Speaker 7 (18:22):
I feel like she kind of using this for clout
and to pump her music, and I feel like he
just messed up by talking too much. But now he's
out of you know, work, and she about to take off.
Well regardless, she gonna take off her social media everything.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
But here's the thing, though, I don't think she's using
this for anything. I think she's using it for awareness
to the problem that people can be discriminated against. Further weight,
I think the whole rapper thing came out because that's
the occupation that she has for Yeah, and that's how
it is, how the news works.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
And if you saw the.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Hate that she was getting online, I don't think anybody would.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
That's bowl, you know what, that's that's society. Yeah, yeah,
I mean it comes with the territory.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
You know what I'm saying, Like.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
How she looks, No, it doesn't, it doesn't. Kindness doesn't come.
It's no.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
It's like it's like the and you're gonna hear in
a second we got uh, she's she spoke and we
got we got her speaking out.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
In a second, you're gonna hear from the attorney. And
the attorney said it best.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
It'd be like no different than if you pull up
to a driver and the person sees a black person,
a Muslim person, a Catholic person, a white person and says,
you know what, I don't want to drive that person.
It's the same exact thing. It's discriminatory.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
But I got six thousand plus rise and I'm gonna
say this, it's a certain group of people that I
picked up where I always get a one star and
I'm a file star driver.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, who are they I want to know which ones?
Which ones?

Speaker 7 (20:00):
I'm gonna say, dearborn area, we know who I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh you know what I'm saying, Like, I don't they
only give one stars?

Speaker 7 (20:06):
Say what?

Speaker 5 (20:07):
Yes? Man?

Speaker 7 (20:08):
It's like I don't know if they be mad because
I'm not the kind you know, because it's not a lot.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Of us, the dry.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
What are you? What's your kind? What's your kind? I
don't want to make any uh, thank you, thank you.
I'm not going to say that.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I thought it, but I'm not gonna say it. Ten
years ago I might have said you're old, you black?
Now it is, I'm on this. I'm on the straightened arrows.
The world police after me because.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
I've been listening to you for like the last twenty years.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I love you, Thank you, list you Chloe. I'm black too,

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
