I did. That was a little bit rude, but I feel like your sister does that, so I'm in the family now. My sister don't drink milk. She doesn't? She was our fitness expert, and you heard
Starting point is 00:01:07 nowhere in her meal prep was there milk. Maybe she didn't want the listeners to know that she, like, on her cheat day, she has milk. Her cheat day, she has a spoonful of peanut butter. Ugh. My sink is full of spoons full of peanut butter. That's so sad. I know. She's so angry.

Starting point is 00:02:50 you got to eat it. You got to make sure that you eat it properly. Yeah, but have you ever been to somebody's house and they had nothing that you wanted to eat? I've gone to people's homes
Starting point is 00:02:57 and they had nothing in their fridge. Damn. I mean, we all got that friend. That one friend that's like, I eat out every meal. Yeah. That friend is going to die
Starting point is 00:03:05 from high cholesterol. That person is going to die. I am that friend. I'm that friend. I don't have anything in the fridge. Yeah, you probably got terrible cholesterol.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Listen, I went to Planned Parenthood and they said that my cholesterol is just fine. What was the last time you went to Planned Parenthood, Sid? Mm-hmm. 1997.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I'm going to say a year ago. Really? Yeah. I've never been to a Planned Parenthood. Well, they do everything. They do checkups. They do, you know, mammograms. They do pap smears.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah, but how much does that stuff cost? Like $75. For all of that? Yeah. Like I could get a mammogram and an abortion for $75? No, bitch. She's stupid. No, you idiot.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Is there a punch card? No. You're so dumb. No, you could get, like, your annual checkup for, like, $125. That's not $75, Syd. That's pretty much $75. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:58 $75 and $125 is the same thing? I round up and round down, so. Okay. This was a year ago you went? Mm-hmm. All right, well, I'm going to spend the $150. They said I was fine. I thought that I was dying, and they were like, you're good.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Why did you think you were dying? Because I eat poorly. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I eat poorly, and, you know, my stool will be a mess. Oh, word. We don't have Dr. Oz here to judge your stool. My stool will be real sideways. Yo, you are a hot, messy stool mess.

Starting point is 00:10:36 Recognize? I heard somebody, like, they got the app, they downloaded it, they got a car, and the car never showed up they still waiting on the car i heard about that story that story it was it was a funny story but i could definitely find some truth in it most likely so first you're a driver yes um so how long you've been driving for like when did you get your license oh well originally i drove a yellow cab back in 2013 i got my taxi medallion license why you say 2013 like it was like 1987 four years ago that's some time time moved by that was four years ago but yeah i got in 2013 my hack license and then what's that what's that it's a
Starting point is 00:11:23 it's a certain type of license that you could drive yellow cabs there's different types there's vehicle for hire and then there's taxi for hire that's like the truck drivers like the mexicans that be no the vehicle for hire ones are the purple ones that's probably what you normally see when you're in your ubers and your lifts because they have it displayed i don't look at the medallions or anything like that you don't know you got to pull your medallion you know what i do i just pray to god i'm like i hope this is the taxi that i'm supposed to be in supposed to have it displayed okay let's see okay let's see let's see let's see what you got here yeah but when did you get your driver's license i was 19 okay so you're 18 uh so you need flash because
Starting point is 00:11:59 we can't see you in here i can't it looks very it's like a shadow on your eye i smiled in the original picture but they said we can't use it because you can't show them that's the photo i have a little smirk in it though you have a z and an x in your name that's crazy um fritz what made you become a driver was things really bad like You ain't got no reading Comprehension skills You didn't have no heat in your house What happened
Starting point is 00:12:31 Well back in 2013 I was working for Ray Moore in Flanagan So you had the furniture hook up Yeah I had the furniture I still got that I still got that of course We need a new couch though It seems like I need a lot of stuff in here Wow
Starting point is 00:12:46 He came for the apartment Get your late ass out of my Empty apartment You said you were basically sitting on the floor. That's what you said. I am sitting on the floor. I work best from this level. Anyway, shut up. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Shut your ass. Okay, so you were working for Raymoor and Flanagan. Yeah, I was working for Raymoor and Flanagan. You was hooking too many people up with couches, so they fired you. No. They did fire me, though. You were stealing boxes? I wasn't stealing anything. Okay, what happened?
Starting point is 00:13:21 I had suffered, I guess, a tragic loss that year, and they let me go because my sales were sucking. That's really rude of them. Like, something happened. If anything, it was actually a blessing. Why was it a blessing? Because I got unemployment. You are such a nigga.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Professional nigga right here. Yeah. Unemployment. He's a nigga expert right here. So, how long were you working for Raymar and Flanagan? A little shy of a year. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:48 So, that's why. I mean, if you had been there for five years. Nah, they wouldn't have done that. Yeah. They actually did it because I probably, I kind of threw it out there. Oh, you were like, just let me go. I was like, yo, because I was, like, I was coming to work just literally just sitting down and just like. You were just taking a nap on the couch?
Starting point is 00:14:03 Basically, that's what I was doing. I was, like, going in the bedroom, sleeping, doing all this other nonsense. Oh, so you were, like, Lawrence and Insecure? I kind of wanted them to fire me. You were Lawrence from Insecure? Yo, that's when you got fired. so then after that you were like i wanted them to find me because i mean because then you could get unemployment yeah basically okay so you got unemployment for how long six months six months
Starting point is 00:14:25 and then immediately you were like you know what i should do i should drive people around no actually i wasn't thinking about that at all what were you thinking about my dad is actually a yellow cab driver so it runs in the family yo y'all are haitian as hell all right let me let me break it My dad was a cab driver for like, I guess I want to say 30 years. Is your dad tall like you? No, he's actually short. My dad was like 5'6". I don't know where I get my height, probably from my mom's side.
Starting point is 00:14:56 How tall are you? I'm 6'2". For that listeners, we got a 6'2 cab driver. He got his hack license. Listen, if you want this move dick, you better move to our DMs. with that move and he got a couch hook up okay all right so your dad 30 years my dad was a cab driver for 30 years he supported a family of four got a two-family house did the whole i guess the american dream came from another country did all this other stuff and this is all money from all
Starting point is 00:15:31 the money from the thing is my dad is the way the cabs work he owned his own cab he didn't work for anybody so he owned his own medallion so he's basically a businessman he's basically a billionaire yeah i didn't even know cab drivers your dad is he's retired now he's he's single right now because if you want a shorter version of fritz who got more money slide in my dm and i'll hook you up from haiti today okay you also got to go to haiti though so that's the my great aunt oh darn fritz you could go no but it's great it's his it's actually his aunt okay so you don't care all right cool she oh you're so stupid that's why you got fired from so he put you on to no he didn't because i never want to do the same thing my dad did i was like
Starting point is 00:16:18 i was born here so you know you know no disrespect no but i'm just saying your dad is going to listen to this podcast you know what you know what's so funny about this my dad would never want me to be that because obviously he's so you're disappointing your father right now okay No, I'm not I'm not disappointed in my dad Basically, my cousin Who was actually going through nursing at that time Suggested I do it
Starting point is 00:16:41 So he was like Your unemployment's about to run out Jobs aren't really hiring Do you really want to go into another sales atmosphere Or do you want to control your own destiny, work for yourself And do that You know, I thought you were a cop I was
Starting point is 00:16:56 Are you going to get there? Okay listen you want to tell your whole life story on the podcast we're going through your resume right now yeah we can we're going through your linkedin we're doing the family tree and your and your resume and we know who died but let's just get there yeah yeah i want me to fast forward like fast no so you were a cop for how long a little shy two years two years okay so you didn't uh beat any niggas on the force?
Starting point is 00:17:25 No. You didn't shoot anybody? No, I did not. Cool. And what happened? Why'd you leave? Oh, they unfortunately parted ways.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Y'all act like it was a relationship where something went down. Well, I didn't want to leave. That's the thing. Oh. So you got fired. Again?
Starting point is 00:17:42 I guess you could say that. But this one's a little different because it was, I was up in Oneonta. I don't know, people probably don't know where that is,
Starting point is 00:17:51 but that's upstate New York about three hours away. I was working in Troop C. I was a New York State Trooper, by the way. Oh, so you had to wear the brown clothes with the little Yogi Bear hat? I was gray with a purple tie. So you were a traffic officer. You weren't even a real officer.
Starting point is 00:18:04 No, actually, state. State police. We were higher than city. They're state troopers. So we can show the whole state. Okay, so what do the troopers do? Troopers pretty much do anything. They hang out with Yogi Bear.
Starting point is 00:18:14 They mostly do, like, think about, when people think of New York, they don't think of upstate. They don't think about Syracuse or New York. Or Albany. Albany, exactly. So it's a smaller law enforcement agency, but with a higher ranking amongst law enforcement. Okay, so those be them niggas on cops. Those are the dudes you've seen with the hats. That's the only thing I can think of for right now.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah, they have hats. They have the Yogi Bear and Boo Boo hats. Yeah. Oh, okay. The Curious George hats. So you got fired from that, and then you were like, wow, I need to do something with my life. Well, that situation happened in August, and it's still kind of going on right now. It's kind of fresh.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Oh, they took you to court? No, I'm debating if I want to take them to court. Oh, why? How many dogs is taking them to court? Because the way it happened, it was just like people filed false reports saying that I didn't document certain things. It was, in my opinion, it had something to do deeper than what it was. Oh, so the people was out to get you. That's how I found out.
Starting point is 00:19:10 The devil was working. The devil was always working at Odeon, too. I handled over 160 cases, and they said, apparently, I didn't handle 13 of them correctly. So they wrote up all these personnel complaints, sending up the higher-ups. oh no way and i was still on probation okay so listeners if um you trying to get what to do about to file the biggest file against the the police or whatever and you're about to come in with some money like i said i'm thinking about it because that's a lot of there's a lot of stuff i don't know if i want to you don't want to have to do it because yeah they're going to come by
Starting point is 00:19:41 your house and probably put across like they have lawyers it's the state yeah yeah i'm sure they have great lawyers yeah but like i said in my opinion i didn't do anything wrong i did everything i was supposed to so who didn't who didn't do the paperwork properly well the clerk there were there were certain they said like i'll explain it because at night you get partnered up with another person yeah so apparently i had a couple people that threw me under the bus said that i was responsible for writing a report where in actuality was it white people sound like white man i was the only i was the only black trooper so connor threw you under the bus okay got it connor logan and steve there was a couple people threw me on the bus they wrote memos about it
Starting point is 00:20:26 they wrote like everything so if they're not gonna take somebody who's fairly new file that damn report my man matter of fact we'll draft it after the podcast so after that happened you were like let me go back to uh unfortunately because i had this license given the fact it's always good that i always tell somebody to have a good trade like you never know what the economy is gonna happen you never know if you're gonna get five in your job have something you can fall back marie like you never know girl i mean i don't have a trade so i'm gonna learn how to i'm gonna be a welder i don't know how to do hair i know how to do my hair everybody should have a trade because given the way society is set up if you get fired from your job the bills aren't gonna
Starting point is 00:21:06 be like oh wait nah i'm gonna have to fake my death i'm a two-box chicory exactly so i don't want to fall behind i'm gonna come back as a hologram for the warm-up i'm still doing the podcast but i'm gonna be dead so so you had the license and your dad was like super disappointed probably he well we didn't talk we didn't discuss it but i'm sure he was i'm sure a lot of people within my family were kind of not disappointed within me but disappointed in the fact that the situation happened damn dude i thought you was gonna make a joke you were like yeah they probably all disappointed in me listen it's fine you're straight you're no you're great so let's get into uh uber uber yes so you have you you made the jump from yellow cab to uber why is that i don't want
Starting point is 00:21:55 to go back to doing the yellow cab thing what's the difference tell us the difference between like tell us like the money like the guidelines like you can make your own hours well the thing with the yellow cab is is your business is in the city that's where you get the bulk of your business so you gotta where i have to wake up at five o'clock i have to go to queens get the cab from the leasing company oh and then go to the city would you take a cab to queens or you i had my own personal car okay so you get your car i get my car drive the queens park up get the yellow cab are all the taxis in Queens? The majority of the leasing companies are either in Queens,
Starting point is 00:22:29 some of them are in Brooklyn, some of them are in Manhattan. Oh, okay. All right. So I would do that and then go to the city, you know, deal with all different types of people. All the traffic. You're dealing with the traffic. The traffic is a major headache. The traffic's a headache and then you're dealing with some uppity people that... What's the hours like?
Starting point is 00:22:46 You could work five to five but mostly I would start my day at seven and then bring the car back by five. So you're missing two good hours. You gotta think about it you want to work when people are out right you want to work at five because mostly most people won't be out that particular time so you want to work out you want to work when the bulk of people are out there well you want to get ahead of the other people who are coming
Starting point is 00:23:06 there are people like but you also want to get that sleep that's why because when you think about it a lot of hours behind the wheel fritz you don't want to win you don't want to win well i'm saying i get your point but i gotta get this i mean that's 12 hours of driving exactly that's a lot of driving understand why some of those drivers are aggressive they're aggressive they're very rude they're very they're like i don't i don't go i don't go to brooklyn exactly so but do you think that's like just like they're dealing with rude people and it's a hard job it's not necessarily them it's just the industry that they're they're the thing about it is i found i had a new found respect for them like given the fact that i had
Starting point is 00:23:46 to do it okay so it's like i got to see what my dad had to deal with firsthand and he had to do for like 25, 30 years. So he would drive all these people and then come home and beat you. And you're like, when I grow up, I'm going to be a cop. Actually, he would.
Starting point is 00:24:01 He'd come home real bad. Yeah, but I think old Haitian men are just angry. That's true. Shut up. He would come and I definitely would run. But now, I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:12 there was a point where I grew up and he knew better. You got taller than him and he was like, don't make me go up there. Get on your knees while I go beat you.
Starting point is 00:24:21 so it's like a but it's a give and take like they you're picking up rude people the job is hard you got the traffic you got them hours you're hustling for your money because each person you want to get that next fare you're hustling you're literally hustling for your money okay but with uber uber how much more money do you make than like yellow calf it's i don't really think it's it's that big of a difference to be honest because uber takes your money uber and lyft takes a percentage of your money how much how much like what's the percentage it depends on each ride Really? It's not like 10% off top or 40% off top?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Well, they take a percentage off of EFTride, and then once you tally it up towards the end, you'll see the bulk of the money come out. Okay. Like last week, they took $346 from me, from Lyft. From Lyft? Yeah. They took $346. So if I do the math right, did you make over $1,000?
Starting point is 00:25:10 I made over $1,000. Okay. That's cute. Y'all hear that? He's 6'6". He's still got that Raymond Flanagan hookup. It makes over $1,000 a week. And your sweat game is cute.
Starting point is 00:25:23 You got a little sweat pant outfit. This is comfortable. Very comfortable. You got a nice little shape up. Your teeth looking white-ish. Your skin look like you put some cocoa butter on it. Yeah, you look like you are. Because you knew you were going to see black women today.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah, you look like your pillows got pillowcases on them. It's cold outside. I ain't trying to be ashy out here in the streets. So how much of your money was the yellow cab, the taxi limousine commission? With the yellow cab, all you got to do is pay for your cab. So basically, if the cab costs $100 a day, once you cover that cost, everything else is yours. Wow. So isn't it better to do yellow cab?
Starting point is 00:25:57 Not really. Because right now, because think about the hassle. You have to wake up, go get the cab. And now the city is so overly saturated with Uber and Lyft drivers, you can't really move around and make this money anymore. But Uber is doing that Uber pool, though. And a lot of drivers are complaining about it. They're like, they're making no money. They're not making any money.
Starting point is 00:26:16 And they're spending more hours on like picking up other people. Exactly. So that's why yellow cabs aren't making no money. So why would I have gone back to that? Right. Because everyone has Uber now. Everybody has Uber. Everybody has either Uber or Lyft.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Or both. Yes. For a while, I had both. And whichever one was cheaper, I was going to take. Or whichever one was closer in the area. No, no, no. It's cheap. I'll wait.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I'll wait 32 minutes. I'll wait to save $3. What's better, Uber or Lyft? I like Lyft. You do? Why? What's the difference? is more personable and lyft allows you to tip uber doesn't allow you lyft got a lot of dudes
Starting point is 00:26:51 who'll be playing in mixtape and pretending that they don't know who's playing and then at the end they're like oh uh you can find me on soundcloud it's like what not even oh i saw you uh bopping back there my man uh that's me it is like a time square on wheels like i'm like what is going what are you selling dude like they're a dude was selling me lotion like two years ago he was trying to sell me lotion he's like he was working for mary k he's like listen he's like my mother made this new product i was like your mother is out making you sling her lotion in the fucking so you do it what's the what's the craziest person you've ever had to deal with in an uber craziest like somebody was like really disrespectful to you or somebody said something
Starting point is 00:27:40 reckless because i feel like people be real bold like we don't know i don't know but whenever i see a whenever there's a dude driver who's black and tall and wearing scullies i'm like you know what i'm gonna let him rock whatever he want to do whatever music he want to play if he want all the windows down i'll let him because i don't want to argue you know what i mean please and after you get an uber she'd be like uh she'd be talking to him like they to help she'd be like Y'all got the aux cord. They'd be like, nice to see you too. They'd be like, hello.
Starting point is 00:28:10 That's the other one thing I don't like. Marie, I don't do that. Don't tell the listeners that. She'd be like, can you roll the window up too? Thanks. I'd be like, wow. Wow. Marie, I wonder how you are in your account.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Ooh, that's a good question. What's the ratings? What's the ratings? Who got the good rating? Who got a... I think mine's is like... You think? You should know what your rating is.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Mine's is like 4.3 stars. No, your shit is trash. Mine's is so bad. I think I'm at like 4.7 or 4.8 She's a fucking It's a 4.7 because she doesn't use it But my rating is up there though If you got a 4.3 you use it a lot
Starting point is 00:28:44 She got it rated three times and that's why The three times that she used it It's still very it's quite high Yeah I haven't really had too many bad experiences I had like drunks and stuff like that What's the craziest drunk experience Somebody ever try to crawl into your lap Nah negative on that
Starting point is 00:28:59 That'd be weird I had a girl that was so drunk that she tried to like hook up with the blind driver. Not blind, no deaf. The driver was deaf, yeah. And she tried to give him her number. I feel like deaf people aren't allowed to drive cars. They are.
Starting point is 00:29:12 No, they could drive. They could drive. But I wouldn't want them to be picking up people. It depends. I don't think if they're completely deaf. I think he probably was like, That nigga had a sign. He had a sign saying,
Starting point is 00:29:22 Hi, I'm deaf. I didn't want to talk to people. Exactly. He's like, Boop. I don't want to talk to people. Yo, sign on. Do not talk to me.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Dude, that's a lot. I mean, that's a lot of acting you got to do to act like you don't hear shit. That's a good idea, though. I might have to do that myself. No, because if I try to do that, I'd be like, what? Anytime I hear something crazy, what? Because you know people are messing with him. People still talk about their stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:45 You have women in the back talking about their periods. I'm like, yo, I'm right here. That's all right. Periods are natural. I don't want to hear that. As a man, I don't want to hear that you had your cycle while you was on your boyfriend's bed. I'm sorry, Fritz. What else have you heard?
Starting point is 00:30:00 Recently, I had this woman talk about I'm making a schedule to get an abortion on the phone. And I'm like, yo, I don't want to hear these conversations. Y'all can wait. I want to hear these conversations. You're driving. You're a driver. I'm doing my best to try to tune you out. But like some things are just...
Starting point is 00:30:17 Just because you don't want to hear it, you want these coins though. This is true. This is true. Was she able to schedule that abortion or not? I think that she was. Did she go to Planned Parenthood for that? I don't know. I don't know where she went. I'm sure she'll have an Uber driver
Starting point is 00:30:31 take her there. It's not $75. It's $500. Sydney, you know how much abortions cost? Yes, I do. I'm not ashamed. Oh, okay. Are you the abortion expert right now?
Starting point is 00:30:43 Because I've never even walked by a place like this. Okay, but people say stuff, and then do you ever hear something that you have to react to, and then you've got to be like, oh, my bad? Have you ever been like, nigga. Recently, I responded to this one dude. I guess he was going through a divorce. and his um he was actually looking for places it was him and a realtor in the back and he's and um but it was the realtor that called for the cab so she was taking him to different locations
Starting point is 00:31:11 and she was like i'm going to divorce my ex-wife is a doctor she makes over 250 000 he was a sous chef oh but he loves cooking but she's taking him to court for child support well he's fucked up way more money he should have put a condom on he should have given her 500 more abortion makes And I think she's the one that filed for the divorce Listen he better make her a good Chicken Tetrazzini Tetrazzini He better get that chicken Tetrazzini on
Starting point is 00:31:39 And get her back Yeah but I thought that was kind of messed up So I kind of turned around and was like what Did you get in the conversation I definitely did get in the conversation What did you say In my opinion I didn't think it was right Yeah but if she takes him to court
Starting point is 00:31:52 They'll see how much money he makes How does it work I don't know I've been blessed up to this point, but it does work that way in the sense of if a woman files for support, most of the time she's going to get it. Yeah, but they do it
Starting point is 00:32:07 based on how much money he makes, though, right? Based on how much he makes, they'll make a decision from then, but he will have to come out of pocket no matter what. Okay, well, here's my question. You said he was looking at apartments. What neighborhood was he looking at? Yeah, where was he at? He was actually in Bushwick. Oh, he's doing bad.
Starting point is 00:32:23 He's doing bad. Y'all really are poor. they don't chefs don't make that much money but i mean he does it for the love of it i guess okay for it has there ever been like arguments in the back of the word and you had to get involved like if there's a man and a woman are arguing in the back are you always on the woman's side or are you on the man's side oh that did happen one time thank you for bringing that up that's why i'm here you know no it was um but it was like in a joking way i was like just i was like my man just say she's right and go about your business because i mean a woman's always you got
Starting point is 00:33:00 one star for it said one star unless it was her uber i probably got five uh-huh well that's true that's true i mean do you really care about your rating i honestly don't i actually don't i get emails about my rating all the time about what's your rating better i think i'm at a 4.7 okay let me tell you about the rating because but the rating affects me a lot it does because we can get deactivated there was a couple of times i was on the brink you can't go below what number uh 4.5 oh dude you gonna get fired again there was a couple close because the thing about it is you can't please people like if i read some of these comments of these people you write and talk about he was across the street he was in
Starting point is 00:33:44 front of my house like this ain't door-to-door service it is door-to-door it's not door-to-door if i can't see where your building is if i'm in the vicinity because i go by the little pinpoint thing that's on the app. Yeah, but aren't you a New Yorker? Should you know the address? If you're complaining about 20 feet, you can't walk across the street and get in this car? No, because they're in an Uber. You see? They can't even walk to the train. You see that?
Starting point is 00:34:04 Of course. Of course they can't walk to a train. The thing about people complaining about, like, oh, you're not saying good morning, and I'm like, maybe, maybe I did. There's certain things. Like, there's one dude, perfect example. I was playing my little, I wasn't playing SoundCloud.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I was playing Pharrell on itunes you weren't playing happy so what were you playing well it was it was actually an erd it was it was like oh back in the day yeah back in the day so there's a lot of swearing on it right so i didn't usually i like to play like whatever pg music but he got in the car i didn't care i didn't bother to switch it so rather him telling me like you mind changing it or turning it off which he's entitled to i don't have to listen because this ain't no cat right instead of telling me directly he decides to write a comment on it and obviously he probably gave me a below five rating like why you like we're two people in a car but if he would have said hey turn it off
Starting point is 00:34:59 there's that separation between driver and and passenger and which i don't like in this kind of business because like what you don't have to talk to you ever they get in the car they don't i don't have to talk to you you don't have to talk to me if usually you get that vibe if i want to talk to the person yeah people give you that vibe but some people like obviously in new york everybody's on the go people don't even want to be bothered people in their their music they're on their phones and i get that but at the same time it must have been a really bad song yeah nrd has classics yeah but what song were you playing i don't probably lap dance maybe it was lap dance i don't Ooh, baby, you want me?
Starting point is 00:35:39 You can get this lap dance here for free. That is a garbage song, so you deserve three stars. But why not tell me? See, that, I don't understand that either. Why not tell me? You should have known better. Because I knew it was him, because that was the only time that happened that week. Ooh, baby, you want me?
Starting point is 00:35:53 You can get this lap dance here for free. So they sent the comments to you, but you don't know who sent them. When Lyft does it, they send you your great comments, and they also send you your bad comments. We hear a great comment. Yeah, read some of the comments. that's what we're here for because I feel like as a
Starting point is 00:36:10 somebody who sits in those cars I always try to be polite on other people's accounts but I don't want to sit but I don't want to talk to you if I don't have to talk to you yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:36:19 I mean I get it that's why I try to put on like I put on different array of music it's not like just listen I wasn't in I wasn't in Uber I put on some Esmerelda Spaulding I put on a little different stuff
Starting point is 00:36:28 I put on a little crazy I put on a little jam actually I was in your car and I was really impressed with the but you weren't playing I wasn't playing that because it depends on what movie you catch me.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Yo, that's a classic. It is. But what time of day was it? It was like 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It was a fairly middle-aged white man. That's probably why he took offense to it. It's terrible. Did you hear that, guys?
Starting point is 00:36:50 It's a classic. Nobody wants to hear that at between the hours of 10 a.m. Okay, let's listen to some of the feedback. This is actually from March 3rd to March 9th. Okay. Passenger feedback. Excellent taste in music.
Starting point is 00:37:01 All good plus great music. Those are the good feedbacks. now we'll go to the below below four stars no wait can we hear we only got two good ones yes they only show they only send you two at a time oh they want to keep you humbled so they give you one nice thing and one bad thing okay no but the ones i read were two different occasions when i said excellent taste of music all good plus gravy okay and then this other person this was this is just one person right here okay she actually that's a paragraph she did it numerically so it was one my house was the pickup location and he parked across the street 40 feet away
Starting point is 00:37:37 two 40 feet away she's lying 40 street and even 40 feet long fucking lying exactly two didn't say anything when i got in the car and drove off which tells me that literally anyone could have gotten in first off when you get okay anybody who addresses anything as first off it's it's a fight he's so angry he took a longer route than he should have which ran up the fair overall the ride was trash oh they were trash so she's from bushwick she's from brooklyn had to be some part and i was like ride was trash wait do you have one more like i want to hear this is good do you go the route that they tell you or do you go like the way that you follow the goddamn gps i don't make up my own route and the uber gps is awful well i i have ways how bad could ways be no ways
Starting point is 00:38:31 i use i was either using google maps or ways that's two other options like if i do i could go my own way because i know brooklyn i know new york city but why would i do that then they're gonna be like yo why oh my man why are you going this way exactly and you can see your route on these apps wait i want to hear another comment i don't have anywhere after that i think i most of the time i delete them because i don't like to why that negative energy around i love i would read the comments listen as a waitress i'll be reading the yelps at my job yeah and i go through the stuff that they say and i know some of the situations where they talk about me they don't want to say i'm black but they say everything around me being black she had an attitude
Starting point is 00:39:14 she was really loud with me and I was like the music is playing loud that's why I'm loud you be loud with the customers I don't raise my voice I like project my voice are you getting loud with me right now on the podcast wow two stars
Starting point is 00:39:31 but I read them I read them and I'm like you're dumb you came here on a Saturday with 25 people no nobody's gonna serve you you didn't make a reservation bye like that that's all oh uh the woman put 20 on it i really felt like she should have let me decide i'm sorry you came in with five people it says on the menu five people or more automatic gratuity
Starting point is 00:39:56 i feel like i should have picked and i would have given her 15 shut up yeah that's just messy but like do you ever have these people do you have have you ever had like a really good uber experience like somebody came in and they were like young man here's 50 dollars i had a great experience um one time i picked somebody up from i forget where but we went to the city upper east side and um she was like let's go to this um i think this is like a french base like pastry shop or whatever she she said turn the meter off no she she went to like this this french pastry shop i forgot the name but she got me a hot chocolate and i was like that was a great kind gesture she put roofie in the hot chocolate she put acid in it i hope you throw it out the window
Starting point is 00:40:43 do you hear listeners he get real excited just off some hot chocolate but it was like it was a nice gesture like i said there's a disconnect between driver and passenger yeah i feel like it shouldn't be like we should just be too like i love when people get in the car we can just start talking about like random stuff and i've had that in the yellow cab as well as this but that's like I'm not really going to be the one that's going to force it. If you want to talk, we can talk. I have a question. Do you have bottled water, gum, lifesavers,
Starting point is 00:41:10 lotion, Vaseline, tissue, needles, pink starbursts? I have tissue. Sometimes I have water. It depends. That's it? Just tissues? What do you want me to have? This is why you're a force. No, I'm not doing all that, man.
Starting point is 00:41:25 What do you think this is? I'm about to have Snickers bars and all this stuff. I'm not raising nothing for no... See, you can really be great. I have tissue and I play amazing music, all right? Except for that one Pharrell situation. I just feel like if you want to excel
Starting point is 00:41:42 as an Uber driver... The thing is, I don't want to excel. I just want to do this right now until I figure out what my next step is. That's it. You're trying to pay a couple bills. Exactly. I'm just trying to keep my head above water right now. What's your next move? What do you want to do?
Starting point is 00:41:58 You want to move to move? I put my readmission to go back to school finish on my degree oh so you're gonna get an education well finish it i was like a year shy of graduating and then what are you gonna do probably go into teaching ah what teach what like driving you start driving school no i was like the high school or something like that damn dude wow so you're gonna you're gonna scale it all the way back because you know teachers make nothing no actually it depends on what what if they're in public school they make nothing but oh you're trying to do private charters okay there's no males in that field so i'll probably
Starting point is 00:42:36 be well received uh wait i have one more question about uber before we go back to you like in your future wait has a woman ever hit on you like because we had a we had somebody come here and they hooked up with a driver really yeah and he paid he paid his fare and hit him off with some I mean I've had a couple people Flirt with me But that's about it What do you mean flirt? Yeah
Starting point is 00:43:08 I don't know if it was Most of the time People are probably drunk But I don't know I don't take them too seriously Most of the stuff Occurs at night Well I was in an Uber
Starting point is 00:43:18 And I was sitting In the front seat With this guy named Terrence Dynasty Higgins You had to be in the pool Because there's no way
Starting point is 00:43:25 You were in the front you don't let people in the front seat of your car it depends on how many people getting in if it's just one person you tell them to go to the back they always go to the back that's not talking about that disconnect they'll never sit in the front they were like they go right to the back well i'm friendly so i was in the front you it was just you in the car by yourself no it was it was a pool his name was terrence dynasty higgins and i had a picture up of marie but i had my hair short at the time i had my real hair and he was like oh that's you what's your hair you look you look good you should be wearing like that i'm like nah that's not me yeah and then i
Starting point is 00:44:04 tried to like i was like you know what that's my friend you should meet her somebody named terrence dynasty and then i listened to his music on youtube for another 20 minutes it was on soundcloud what was the song what was the song it was so good i don't remember but it was awful it was really good and i was like marie isn't this memorable like i really feel like you should give this guy a chance that's funny he was real young and his music was awful he was very young nope thank you sydney elizabeth washington but he was a lot of young guys are doing it yeah way of like i mean it's it's an independent job your independent contract what's a typical 99 so you gotta make sure you put that money aside what's the what's the typical uh oh so you don't
Starting point is 00:44:46 get taxed on that money no that's what people don't realize you have to put that money aside because the irs will come for you when do they come i just want to know yeah i've seen that before i thought the irs didn't come for you unless you sent for them okay keep telling you that notice of the mail what's a typical day in your life as an uber driver like do you have to get up a certain time you do it whenever for the last three days i haven't worked because of the snow i didn't feel like dealing with people because it's weird because i use the uber every day and there's people out here you just there's always people out there you just don't want to do it you said you don't want to deal with the snow i don't want to deal with the snow i don't want
Starting point is 00:45:27 to deal with the people it's cold it's not like you really hate yeah it's not like you're really not trying to make this money i mean i'm out i'm out today i'm out and about no you're here today yeah i took some time out of my busy schedule you're at my house and you were late yeah die you could just be our haitian expert because always be anywhere at any time i like i like i mean it's convenient because you could like you could work any day you want you could work any hour you want like turn on the app right now and go to work so i'm not set to now we still got you for another 20 minutes exactly i'm not set for another particular yeah i put me there i gotta i gotta make sure that me yeah well we probably only have you for like another 10 minutes yeah
Starting point is 00:46:10 cool okay so here's what i like i go for it my question for you is like have you ever had somebody throw up in your yes i had that recently actually first time but the dude wasn't drunk it was like regular like six o'clock he had some bad like indian food oh he was like yo pull over pull over i was like yo my man we had a green light i can't just pull over and then he threw up all over your scully boom he tried to open the door but i think i had the child lock on Why you had a child lock on you? I don't know why the child lock was on. He threw up on the door.
Starting point is 00:46:40 He threw up on the door. Dude. And what I mean, it was so nasty. We just stood there in the middle of the street. It was Indian food. It was like. Yeah, he had a stomach virus or whatever. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:46:51 You said he had some bad Indian food? Is there such a thing as good Indian food? Shut up. You about to reveal. You about to reveal. You about to reveal. Shut up. Shut up to all people who eat that Masala chicken.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I love me some halal anyway. extra white sauce i'm here for some my moons okay so you didn't he didn't even try to roll the window down he was trying to do all this stuff but i guess in the midst of the throwing up he couldn't figure out that so he just threw up right right on the door compartment and i was like and it just it smelled so did you have to clean that yourself no i had to clean that i took him right to his he's like yo we're not too far from my house i have a bunch of cleaning products in the house i'm gonna clean it myself so he brought out it was nice nice guy but you still charge him to clean the car well he threw an extra 20 in there that's not enough they charge
Starting point is 00:47:42 marie how much they charge you i took an edible i took i ate too many edibles because it was like edible peanuts so i was eating you ain't tell the guy that you need at least this guy told me did you tell the guy like y'all need the listen i smoked and i drank and then i got in the car and i passed out and i was like uh i feel like i'm about to throw up and i was like And I threw up in my hand Oh, you pulled it I've seen somebody do that before one time And then he's like, let me go get out and get you a bag
Starting point is 00:48:10 But if you threw up in your hand It was still in my hand I wasn't supposed to do it I'm supposed to carry it home I'm supposed to carry the throw up home How, Sidney? Like, I'm cupping my hands together And then she called me with her nasty-ass hands
Starting point is 00:48:24 Sidney, why'd you leave me? He charged you $100? He pulled over to get napkins But how much of it got in the car? Because this filled up the whole door panel. No, it wasn't even that. It was like on the ground a little bit. It wasn't that much, right?
Starting point is 00:48:38 No. Yeah, but you didn't say, pull over, let me get some cleaning products for you. No, he said, let me pull over, I'm going to get some napkins. And he ran out and got some paper towels. He asked you for an extra? The Uber app charged me an extra hundred dollars. I'm surprised you didn't file a complaint. What the hell, Fitz?
Starting point is 00:48:56 You see, that's why I'm not a bad guy with this app. No, you're not. Because you just let him hit it with a little Clorox wipe. He cleaned it actually very thoroughly. He had a bunch of cleaning products. Fabuloso, and he hit it up. He hit it. Your heart still smells like curry and hot breath.
Starting point is 00:49:12 It left like a residual mark. You can see it. You got to go get it cleaned. No, but it left like an imprint. That's what I'm saying. Chris, that's disgusting. You have a throw up line? Yeah, right there.
Starting point is 00:49:24 A line of curry demarcation. If I get in your car and I see that shit I'm giving you one rating One star I'll probably give you that one star right back That's the beauty of it I'll give you a rating right back Like she wasn't smelling that great today
Starting point is 00:49:37 Oh damn I definitely give people one or two stars For them really smelling I've had a couple situations Where people get in the car and I'm like I'm not going to roll all the windows down Pure like They haven't showered in like three or four days
Starting point is 00:49:53 Like straight BO And I'm like, how do you not smell that? You don't smell anything? The thing about it was black people. It was black people. Don't say that. Don't say that. Take that back.
Starting point is 00:50:03 We're going to edit that out. I don't care. We're going to cut that out. I was pretty shocked myself. We're going to say it's Latin people. We already came for Indians. It was really bad. This happened to me.
Starting point is 00:50:16 This woman, she was reading these books. And I was like, oh, this is nice. It was really hot. It was in the summertime. It was like one of the hottest days. i get in everything's cool she lifts her arm up and i was like yo like it smelled like she hadn't washed underneath her arms in months that's the worst tell me why this woman left her arms up why were her arms up like she's probably trying to air it out she was airing
Starting point is 00:50:44 up yep she did she did she did that mind you she didn't shave so she got like that was my follow up if she had hair under her arms she had a bush underneath and then and then i'm over there rolling all the windows down the driver is like she blew up the whole freaking car then she then we get to her destination she's like it's so hot i thought i almost wasn't gonna make it and i was like you did not make it nothing has made it underneath your arms like you didn't hit it with no deodorant at all deodorant didn't make it also i don't like when people eat in my car and they ass that's a big pet peeve for me oh like this one time this she got in here with like a a spinach beef patty like fresh out the oven yo i didn't know they came like that yeah they do it was very
Starting point is 00:51:29 well seasoned they're very good actually yeah but it was like it just it smelled the whole car i'm like yo you could wait your destination is five minutes away you can't wait until you get out this car to eat that listen her sugar was low and first of all i have this have the comedy you need to ask me though you're getting in my vehicle i'm not getting in your car you're getting in mine oh i didn't even know that you had to ask i didn't know though why are you i mean but you know what i always eat like what if you're gonna drop crumbs and stuff i mean we take pride in cleaning those cars i don't always just do like a like a dry food anyway i'll do like a granola i didn't know that i didn't know you were supposed to ask i mean if some people be pulling out like five course meals
Starting point is 00:52:04 i'm like yo oh maybe they'd be having like a boston market situation like i just picked up this girl from chipotle i was like yo she opens his food i'm like yo don't you just said please She didn't open it, but I was like, I was a little weary. I was like, you gotta be mindful. Be considerate. That's how I feel when I be on the train and people are eating egg sandwiches. You're over there eating oxtail and whatnot. You can't wait until you get two stops
Starting point is 00:52:25 to get to your crib. Is that a, you're eating curried goat right now? People FaceTime on me and I'm like, yo. Oh, see, that's Sydney. I had this one story. This lady was FaceTiming with her kid. Her kid, little Jamal. I don't know whatever his name was. I just picked her up from the
Starting point is 00:52:41 hair salon. She's FaceTimed like her homegirl's like, oh, let me see your hair and all this, yada, yada, yada. Little Jamal's trying to crawl up in front and drive with me. I'm like, can you wash your kid? Oh, damn. She didn't even have a belt on you? No. I'm like, yo, just stop. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:56 That's disgusting. Even though I feel like Sydney is a lot of those things that you said you don't like. Shut the F up, Marie. Sydney be FaceTiming, look at my hair and she, Sydney FaceTimes on the train with no headphones. And she'll get in the car, I feel like, with some food and eat it in your cab. I'm just saying, if you're going to eat in the car, be mindful. But I had this
Starting point is 00:53:13 one woman ask me, can she eat an orange? I was like, yo, that's fine. But she was respectful. You wouldn't have to ask me for that. I had a driver eat a burrito bowl. You wouldn't have to ask me to eat a banana in the car. Go ahead, do you. I'm going to throw that peeler right on the seat. That's the thing. I'll be like, I'll be hearing people eating lollipops. And I'm like, I know this
Starting point is 00:53:28 chick is going to leave the freaking lollipop stick in the car. Lo and behold, you look back and the shit is on the floor. So I'm like, come on. Oh, come on. You being just a lot. Nah, what I'm saying, I'm telling you the good stuff. You being sensitive. You sound like some I'm not going to get to your house and throw shit on the floor.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Listen, you're going to put some seat covers on the back? Yeah, unless you put plastic on the seats. I don't give a damn. That's very disrespectful. You are wild. That's why when I take it, I'm always respectful to the driver. I always ask him, I engage in conversation because I've been on the other side of it.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Into who? We got a few questions. We'll give you a little bit of quills. Let me go ahead and cut the camera on. Go ahead and put on the expert glasses for us. Okay, Fitzgerald, we got a couple of questions for you. To crown you our unofficial expert of Ubers. Yes, yes, yes.

Starting point is 00:55:16 You're going to help her out You're just going to leave her How are you going to help her out though I'm going to hope she's going to come to her feet And walk into her house Other than that That's the most I can do You're going to get her out of the car
Starting point is 00:55:27 I'm going to get her out of the car At that point she should be able to stand I would hope But what about getting to her apartment though Damn He's like he's like i'm gonna roll the door open she can walk can she you're gonna ring all the bells

Starting point is 00:56:09 because because if you leave her then anything can happen to her in the last she was last seen in your lift car that's an excellent question see i'm helping i'm giving you i've never i typically don't work night lift okay all right well here's a question for you you get a point like half a point i'll get a one star yeah no yeah you get two stars yo i don't know actually that's a good question i wouldn't know what to do i might email them on that for real because what am i supposed to do wait for her to come to give her some coffee throw some water on her face bring her to a police station i don't know like i don't know somewhere i feel like i know luckily for me i've never encountered anything like that yeah i feel like what proper protocol drunk that
Starting point is 00:56:51 that you're supposed to just leave her yeah you can't i don't know i don't know that's Listen, if it was a white man in boat shoes, you just leave him. You don't even have to stop the car. We've done that. I was in a pool. The guy was wasted. He opened the door.
Starting point is 00:57:09 He got halfway to his door and laid there. Laid on the ground and we pulled off. Yeah, leave Colin and Connor and all the other people. I said he'll figure it out with his loafers. He's good. Here's my question for you. I come downstairs
Starting point is 00:57:25 I ordered an Uber or a Lyft. I got a mirror. I got a mirror and it is 60 inches by 30 inches. Will it fit in your car? I doubt it, no. What are we going to do? I'm not going to cancel the ride. I'm not canceling the ride.
Starting point is 00:57:49 If it's not going to fit, you're going to have to order a bigger vehicle. You should have ordered a bigger vehicle. Maybe you should have a bigger personal car. But you can select the vehicles You can select the SUV You can select the sedan You drop the ball on that So you gonna make her cancel the car
Starting point is 00:58:03 Or you gonna cancel the car She gonna have to cancel Why can't you cancel If I cancel it's gonna affect my rating And it's gonna affect mine I had this one girl that Instead of hiring like a moving truck She hired me to move her stuff
Starting point is 00:58:16 Did she expect you to move things I offered You see I'm a nice guy You are a nice guy Okay so how much did she pay you She paid you She gave me an extra 20. She let you put the tip in?
Starting point is 00:58:26 Yo, you in the 20s. 20 is not enough, dude. Yo, but the funny thing is she was going from like one block to like two blocks down. Nah, you gotta give me. She had all her stuff backed up. It was all in boxes? $50. It was all in like plastic containers. You got out of the car to like put the stuff in the trunk? Yeah. And she gave you 20 bucks?
Starting point is 00:58:42 That's not enough. She didn't ask for 20. Was it heavy? Yeah, the stuff actually was pretty heavy. That's $20. That's not enough. I'm not gonna be like, yo, this is gonna cost a little extra. I'm like, nah. Do you want to grease my palms, Becky? Rebecca? I would have been like, oh, I got arthritis.
Starting point is 00:58:57 I can't unless I see a 50. But she's lucky. What if she would have had an older lift guy? She wouldn't have been able to do that. Hashtag blessed. You too. She lucked out. Yeah, but she would leave a black woman if she's blacked out.
Starting point is 00:59:08 But she wouldn't help a white woman move a box. Yo, I told you I would do the best I could. You need to get your life right. The best you can is helping a white woman move. She was actually Spanish. You look like the type that, yeah, she's not white, she's Spanish. That's what you look like So we're going to do
Starting point is 00:59:24 The novella Get out That's what we're going to do The get out novella But that was An excellent question though With the drunk I wouldn't know
Starting point is 00:59:32 So you help people move Okay I feel like Yeah we're good Any other questions No that's it We do everything We take these little kids
Starting point is 00:59:38 To school I'm like These kids They get in the car I'm like how old are you Be like I'm like 10 I'm like your parents Said you get in this car
Starting point is 00:59:44 By yourself At 10 years old They don't care about the kids This could be taken I could literally Hold you for ransom some type stuff, and they allow you. You shouldn't say that.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I shouldn't say that right now. We got the footage, too, so we don't blackmail you. Everything is monitored on the app. You have my license, you have everything, so I'm traceable. But we help elderly people with the canes and stuff like that. All right, Fritz, are you trying to get your Boy Scout points? We do, though, I'm saying. You're trying to get your merit badge.
Starting point is 01:00:11 We do everything. Fritz, where can people catch you who are listening to this, besides via Lyft? What neighborhood are you normally picking people up in? I like to stay in Brooklyn, honestly. I don't like going to the city. You're not trying to really make money. Yeah, you're not trying to make money. But the thing is, you don't make money.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Think about it. Let me break down the science for you. Okay, real quick. When you take somebody from Brooklyn all the way to Manhattan, think about how much money that is. It could be a $20 to $30 ride. Yes. If I'm in the city, I'm clustered, I'm not moving, and I'm doing $8 rides. So I have a higher chance of going to Brooklyn, being able to move around and about, getting higher quality rides.
Starting point is 01:00:44 This is science. Higher quality rides? Okay, quality is not the right word because you're doing a lot of Bushwick pickups and drop-offs. Williamsburg is going to the city so either way you're picking a lot of people up from the check hashing place so and they do a pool they do an uber pool I don't see that so I don't mess with uber because I don't like to do in the pools oh lift doesn't have a lift lift does but it's not as much for some reason I feel like people have lift they don't do the pools too much well all right so what's your um social media i'm a slow max l o underscore max okay and then we can find

I worked for a lot of places, so anybody hook up on Best Buy, Raymour and Flanagan. The fact that you didn't get a hookup. You really are Lawrence.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I don't like to end bad terms with anybody, any job I go with. Except for the State Department of New York. State dropped the ball. State really did a number on me. They did a number on me. All right, Cindy, where can people catch you? I'll be on
Starting point is 01:02:03 unofficial expert Instagrams, and that's just unofficial expert and then uh my instagram is just said j-u-s-t-s-y-d-b-w excellent and i'm reesey r-e-e-e-z-y please subscribe please like please review us you should listen to our podcast in your lift and when people are like no when people are in the car once the white man come in he's going to be like yo they were cursing and they're probably right i don't even but i don't even curse i mean And I say nigga, but that's not even a curse word. Well, if you're listening to this in an Uber right now, thank you so much, nigga.
