Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So this is kind of interesting. Did you see that

(00:02):
Uber just launched something called a Safari service. Uber they're
not gonna do yeah, Jimmy, they don't just take you
here or there. They take you on a safari. That's
what they're gonna do. So this is coming. They just
announced it this week Cape Town, South Africa. They'll do
Safari day trips from Uber. So it's a full day

(00:24):
outing and a traditional Safari truck, not somebody's mid sized sedan.
It's like this big Uber Safari truck. And let's see.
They will transport guests to a wildlife conservancy two hours
outside of Cape Town for the adventure. It'll be budget friendly,
costs two hundred dollars up to four guests. What are

(00:44):
they doing? They just traveling? Because the picture I see, Jimmy,
is like an Uber truck, like a Safari truck. It
says Uber on it, and there's like a rhinoceros and
like a lion. It's some random Uber driver gonna take
you through wild animals and are we I don't know
about this. What do you think Safari Uber? I have

(01:07):
no idea. I've never even heard of this. No, it's
brand new. They just made the announcement. I mean sometimes
I've had some amazing Uber drivers and they're really good
and very trustworthy, but like I don't know about just
like randomly dialing up a number and having someone take
you to see live animals in a big wide opened
like Safari truck like that, and then what's next? Gym

(01:27):
like Uber scuba diving they pick you up like or
Uber salt like a boat right Uber boating? Are they
just pick you up on some pier with a boat
with a guy named Bob or a lady named Tommy.
You know what I would go for from Uber? What
the rickshaws? Oh? Yes, the Uber rickshaws where you could

(01:51):
just order the bicyclist. They should do that. Do they
have any sort of thing like that where they control
the little rickshaws that's not that I'm aware of, Jim,
that's brilliant. Or even Uber bicycle like it's kind of
the same thing, but you ride like they drop off
a bicycle so you don't have to look for one.
Ooh I like that. Okay, Well, anyway, this is coming

(02:13):
Uber Safari. Check it out? What else could they do?
Love it? Uber love boat, Uber party boat is great though.
I love that where you just think, bring over a
boat and Bob Bob or Bobby drives you a couple
hours of Lake Michigan. Oh, very cool. Okay, anyway, that's
on the way. I just wanted to let you know.

(02:35):
I'll try to get more information for you. Okay, and
don't forget coming up every hour on the fives a
chance to see Stevie wonder this whole morning. It's amazing.
