1. You calling that guy back to ask him where he poops made me laugh harder than I have in years. Thanks for that, Lyle. Golden.

2. As someone who did Uber and Lyft, he's right. The pay from either of them averages around 40% from what I gathered from my riders, except tips. And being in the car for so long to pay your bills can get exhausting mentally and you can easily end up gaining weight doing it. And there's definitely times and places you have to be to even remotely make it work.

   And Uber was much worse before. Years ago I had to argue with them for a few days about someone puking in my car. They tried claiming "we don't see anything". So I implored them to send someone out to smell my car and give me that statement again. They eventually gave it to me, but they definitely gave me a hard time about it

3. I left Twitter years ago. Then Facebook and instagram about a year ago. Just do it. It feels great. You can do it.

4. The girl that’s a sore loser is me. I don’t play games with my boyfriend’s family at holidays for this reason lol. I always use the excuse I don’t know how to play the game but it’s really because I don’t want to embarrass him and myself LOL. I played uno with them once and that was enough.

5. a driver from uber who also drives lyft told me if the ride is $10, he'll get $1 but for lyft he'll get like $7. this is in nj outside of nyc.

6. 1st called forgot about taxes. So he gets 5

7. That ma’am shit is soooo wild when you have long hair. Being accidentally called a woman is disproportionately insulting to some peeps 🐎💀 also don’t get the weirdly apologetic tone from people. I took it as a compliment

8. love the uber driver lol

9. I always try to watch a minute to get him views

10. My work got super slow this last year so I started Ubering part time and it’s not too bad. You do make peanuts and the only way to make real money is to basically live in your car and do it for hours and hours a day… (which I don’t:) I just put in one ear bud and listen to podcasts and chew nicotine gum. In that way it’s fun and mindless. 🏁😌

11. so i go to Chili's sometimes with my mom and sister. I have a round face and i have long hair so i already kinda look like a girl. I have a little facial hair so you can kinda tell im not, but chili's is dark; the second we walk in, its, " hello, ladies. Table for 3?" And then we sit down and as soon as the waiter sees im not a girl, i can PHYSICALLY SEE it in their eyes and it kinda becomes uncomfortable for me and them. The problem is they never address it again. I think that's kinda funny

12. flipping out because you lost at splatoon is a pretty dope visual

13. Listening to them talk about Canadian money 🤦‍♂️.
    If you got $11 in bills, he handed you American dollars. We have $5, $10, $25, $50, $75 & $100 bills.

14. Ugh. The pee that took a poo. I'm done

15. This man needs to be pulled from society, thank the almighty gecko for unveiling this man

16. Damn man these are such amazing stories. The first story at a few points made me laugh I hope thats not wrong haha, it sounds like my dude isn't doing to terribly great but I can relate a ton even if I'm not a driver.

17. My rent is 1200 but water is free

18. Thank you Lyle I absolutely love these shows.

19. wow this video has been very topical for me despite being posted 9 months ago, specifically the uber driver’s story, i haven’t gone through a rough breakup recently or anything like that but i’m a doordash driver and i tend to struggle with having a very active mind while driving, sometimes it can be helpful but a lot of times it’s just a negative feedback loop inside my brain, i also struggle with intense empathy to the point that it negatively affects my day to day life if i focus on other people’s issues too much or spend too much time on social media zoned in on political and humanitarian issues, even down to the israel palestine “conflict” 😭😭 it’s been haunting me and i’ve been trying my best to take breaks but it’s hard, anyways listening to this was very therapeutic for me in ways i didn’t expect at 7am so thank you so much ❤️

20. Guy reminds me of Travis from Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, observing the ills of the world & overthinking

21. I like how Lyle just passed over that there are no $1 bills in Canada

22. geck 4 pres

23. Love the thumbnail of this vid. I would buy that t-shirt.

24. Who cares where you pee… like honestly! It’s all going down the same pipe

25. Bro interviewed the modern day Taxi Driver.

26. Is this backdrop the streets of Morocco? Absolutely beautiful.

27. 20:08 the drums go ham

28. Dude pomegranate did not fuckin bring the truth here..guy was really just looking for a shoulder to cry on. Lol “I Don’t care either way” bro gain some fuckin weight and stop looking and sounding like a bitch. The advice to trap people looking for financial gain by seeking pity and sympathy. I hate those kinds of rides..where you’re trapped for a sob story and then they want a tip? They should pay me for listening lol or trying to make me listen. Seriously bub your cat is not your fuckin son now go try to get a girlfriend and actually have a kid. I say that now thinking you might not raise a kid thats any different from you. So yeah I can’t say this was a good one man I felt like the fucking elevator music was more interesting. More patience than I have Gekle

29. "I dont know if its normal to pee in the KITCHEN sink"

30. she feel insecure because she cant play chess

31. This guy had absolutely no business having a fiance as an Uber driver. That's not to put him down, I'm just pointing out his priorities right now are completely messed up.

    FIX YOUR LIFE FIRST, then try to get a wife. He's doing it backwards and obviously, that won't work.

32. The moving background is making me sick

33. This Uber call is boring af

34. The thumbnail alone got me

35. Imagine being over 15 years old and not having 300 bucks to free your car…. Pretty pathetic
