    Also... Don't be racist Have you ever had a passenger start a conversation with the words, "Not to sound racist, but...". Yeah, that happened to me. We discuss this and more in our weekly accounting of our Uber, Lyft and DoorDash adventure. Where to drive for Uber, Lyft and DoorDash One of the first subjects we discuss is where to drive for Uber, Lyft and DoorDash.

    29/05/2019 Duração: 14min

    Dayton, Ohio and surrounding communities were hit hard by tornados last night.   Dayton, Ohio and many of the communities surrounding Dayton were slammed last night with multiple tornados that did extensive damage. Many of the hardest hit areas were some of Dayton's most underserved neighborhoods, and they need help more than ever after this tragedy. North Dayton communities most impacted by devastation (according to most recent reports) were Trotwood, Celina, Brookville, and Beavercreek. This podcast is about Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash... Why are we talking about tornados? These people are part of my life every day. These are the people we're driving to and from work, school, parties, bars, and wherever else they're going in the course of their normal lives. These are the people that we're delivering food to. These are my neighbors and friends and I can't just sit by and watch this happen without trying to assist in some small way. While driving today, we saw the damage first hand. It's unbelievable what can

  • Dayton Ohio Uber Strike, DoorDash Referrals and Safety

    07/05/2019 Duração: 39min

    Dayton Ohio Uber Strike Let us know if you're going to be at the protest. Visit the Facebook event here: Dayton OH Uber Strike Although Uber's planned initial public offering next month is likely to turn some current and former employees of the ridesharing service into instant millionaires and billionaires, the biggest IPO in years may do much less for one party -- the company's drivers. That's why thousands of Uber drivers (and riders) across the country plan to turn off their app for 24 hours on May 8 to protest what they regard as the company's stingy wages. Dayton Ohio Uber (and Lyft) drivers will be participating in a strike (protest) on May 8th. It will be from 2pm -5pm at the corner of Stewart St. and Brown St. near UD (University of Dayton). Please do NOT park on campus property. Do not protest on campus property. We will be sticking to the sidewalks at that intersection. We also can not block pedestrian traffic.

Side Hustle Kerfuffle will be at the strike in Dayton, Ohio, so be sure to let us know if you plan to attend! Andi, as usual brings lots of stories to the table this week, most notably her question about how to properly deal with funeral processions while on the road.  She shares her experience with a Burger King that wasn't accepting credit cards, and customers who order ice cream for delivery from (get this!) a Mexican restaurant. She also celebrates free drinks, baby geese, and the fact that she earned more money than Jesse this week. Uber Strike Informati
