WEBVTT - How Much Uber Drivers Actually Make 0:00:00.409 --> 0:00:03.970 It's KFI AM 640, and you're listening to The Conway 0:00:04.030 --> 0:00:08.970 Show On Demand on the iHeartRadio app. I was coming 0:00:09.020 --> 0:00:11.920 back from the track today. I got wiped out. You 0:00:12.260 --> 0:00:15.700 can probably hear it in my voice. And I was 0:00:15.740 --> 0:00:21.700 listening to the tail end of Monks and Merrill. And 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:29.780 at the end, Monks, Michael Monks, said, stay dry. And 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.760 somebody said, oh, Gary does that. And Monk said, what? 0:00:35.220 --> 0:00:36.800 And they said, yeah, Gary at the end of every 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.540 show says, stay dry out there, everybody. Something like that, right? 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:40.160 Stay dry. 0:00:40.380 --> 0:00:41.040 Yeah. 0:00:41.940 --> 0:00:46.600 And he's been doing it for years. And Monk, who 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.980 follows that show, said, I've never heard that before. I've 0:00:51.010 --> 0:00:54.910 never heard him say that before. And I thought, really? 0:00:54.930 --> 0:00:58.779 I mean, he says it every day. You know, there 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.280 are some days where I don't say ding dong on 0:01:01.300 --> 0:01:02.340 the air. Right. 0:01:02.420 --> 0:01:02.820 Pretty rare. 0:01:03.420 --> 0:01:07.000 But there are some days. So it's he says he's 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:11.250 more consistent with stay dry than I am with ding dong. Yeah, 0:01:11.350 --> 0:01:13.910 it's his sign off. That's right. And he follows that 0:01:13.970 --> 0:01:17.670 show and he's never heard it. So co-hosted that show. 0:01:17.810 --> 0:01:18.190 Yes. 0:01:18.630 --> 0:01:23.670 And he's never heard that before. So I. You know, 0:01:24.069 --> 0:01:24.860 did the right thing. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:26.720 And called. 0:01:27.209 --> 0:01:30.530 Our boss, Brian Long, and said he should be suspended 0:01:30.569 --> 0:01:34.650 for that. You know, maybe for a week. I don't know. 0:01:34.690 --> 0:01:35.090 Really? 0:01:35.250 --> 0:01:38.450 Maybe two weeks without pay. Pretty severe. 0:01:38.470 --> 0:01:39.709 Yeah. 0:01:39.870 --> 0:01:44.970 Look, this station needs to be consistent. And when somebody 0:01:45.030 --> 0:01:48.970 comes up with something as great as stay dry, you 0:01:49.250 --> 0:01:52.350 have got to respect the stay dryness. And you have 0:01:52.370 --> 0:01:55.780 got to know what the other shows are doing. So 0:01:56.220 --> 0:01:58.680 I would say two weeks, no pay, maybe a week 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:03.350 with no pay. And Brian's like, did you lose at 0:02:03.370 --> 0:02:03.790 the track? 0:02:07.310 --> 0:02:07.570 Yeah. 0:02:07.590 --> 0:02:10.250 So somebody's going to pay for it, huh? Yeah, yeah, 0:02:10.430 --> 0:02:13.630 I did lose at the track. I said, but Brian, 0:02:13.650 --> 0:02:15.170 you think it's a big deal, right? And he just 0:02:15.210 --> 0:02:16.310 hung up on me. 0:02:17.250 --> 0:02:17.620 Click. 0:02:17.850 --> 0:02:18.120 Yeah. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.860 Go on. Great decision. All right, but I thought that 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.359 was odd. I don't know if Monks was kidding that 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.649 he never heard. But everybody knows that. Crozier, you probably 0:02:27.669 --> 0:02:29.650 know that, that he says stay dry. 0:02:29.750 --> 0:02:29.910 Yes. 0:02:30.330 --> 0:02:31.490 And Shannon says blessings. 0:02:32.650 --> 0:02:32.950 Shannon. 0:02:33.310 --> 0:02:33.630 Yeah, yeah. 0:02:33.669 --> 0:02:34.389 She says blessings. 0:02:34.470 --> 0:02:38.110 He says stay dry. That's right. Yeah. Stay dry, everybody. 0:02:38.389 --> 0:02:40.809 And blessings, right. I know that. 0:02:40.910 --> 0:02:42.389 Blessings. 0:02:42.710 --> 0:02:44.769 And he follows that show and he doesn't know that. 0:02:44.870 --> 0:02:45.010 Okay. 0:02:45.030 --> 0:02:45.750 All right. 0:02:45.770 --> 0:02:48.510 I don't know what's going on with that guy, but 0:02:48.590 --> 0:02:49.620 something's happening with him. 0:02:50.100 --> 0:02:51.470 Not very invested, is he? 0:02:51.740 --> 0:02:54.500 Yeah, he did say something funny today. He was on 0:02:54.530 --> 0:02:58.390 with Andy Riesmeyer, and Andy said, you're going out of town. 0:02:58.410 --> 0:03:02.049 You're not going to do anything. Monk says, no, I 0:03:02.070 --> 0:03:05.110 got a lot of crying to catch up on. I'm 0:03:08.370 --> 0:03:10.459 going to go home and do just two or three 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:16.139 hours of crying every day. That is funny. He is 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.880 very funny. Funny, funny stuff. That's my wife's favorite show. 0:03:19.900 --> 0:03:22.109 She doesn't listen to anything else on the station. Other 0:03:22.150 --> 0:03:22.910 than that show. 0:03:22.930 --> 0:03:23.770 Not even this show? 0:03:23.790 --> 0:03:29.139 Are you kidding? She has 21 hours of this at home. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.820 You think she's going to buy into another three? 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:33.459 I mean, four? 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:39.570 It's 20 hours. Crozier, I swear to God. Don't call Brian. Yeah, 0:03:40.050 --> 0:03:44.230 I'm calling Brian. He can't afford to have two people 0:03:44.270 --> 0:03:46.410 suspended for the next couple weeks. 0:03:46.890 --> 0:03:49.010 All right, let's talk about this. 0:03:49.130 --> 0:03:52.340 Hurricane Marie thing. I know it's not coming our way, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.620 but the waves are, and the high tide could wipe 0:03:55.660 --> 0:03:58.810 some people out. Wipe you out. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.790 Last night, it was churning around down there as a cartoon, 0:04:02.370 --> 0:04:03.690 and that built some big swell. 0:04:03.710 --> 0:04:05.310 Dallas Rains, ABC. 0:04:05.350 --> 0:04:09.690 They're on the way to Southern California. We'll start arriving tomorrow. Actually, 0:04:09.810 --> 0:04:12.090 late tonight. But if you're looking for the weather, we 0:04:12.130 --> 0:04:16.070 do have changes coming. Tomorrow, we'll see another really nice day, 0:04:16.130 --> 0:04:17.800 I think, but more clouds coming in. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:18.240 Oh, good. 0:04:18.330 --> 0:04:20.380 And the humidity starts to go up. And then get 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.320 the umbrella ready for the chance of some rain coming 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:24.420 in on Sunday. That was fun. 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.779 Did you hear that? Rain on Sunday. Don't half-ass this show, 0:04:28.860 --> 0:04:31.540 this station. A lot of information. A lot of important 0:04:31.580 --> 0:04:33.320 information comes out. Hourly. 0:04:33.540 --> 0:04:33.820 Minute. 0:04:34.020 --> 0:04:34.500 Every minute. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:35.350 Go, go, go. 0:04:35.430 --> 0:04:37.690 Oh, you got to listen. So we have rain possibly 0:04:37.750 --> 0:04:38.330 on Sunday. 0:04:38.490 --> 0:04:38.890 On Sunday. 0:04:38.930 --> 0:04:41.849 Now, as far as the surf is concerned, it is 0:04:41.870 --> 0:04:43.650 going to be big, and we have to look all 0:04:43.670 --> 0:04:47.890 the way up the coastline, especially on those southerly-facing beaches. 0:04:48.270 --> 0:04:51.650 You could see some 10-foot breakers and huge rip currents 0:04:51.710 --> 0:04:52.419 coming through. 0:04:52.460 --> 0:04:56.300 Okay, southern-facing beaches for people who just have arrived here 0:04:56.420 --> 0:04:58.580 or people who have a really poor sense of direction, 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.039 that's most of the Orange County beaches up through Seal Beach, 0:05:02.300 --> 0:05:07.390 Long Beach. San Pedro area. And then you have the 0:05:07.450 --> 0:05:12.460 west-facing beaches, which is Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan. And then you 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:17.860 swing again south, Santa Monica, Malibu, and Zuma. And so 0:05:18.260 --> 0:05:21.089 you've got to be aware, if you're in a southern-facing beach, 0:05:21.170 --> 0:05:23.090 that this could get a little hairy this weekend. Through 0:05:23.110 --> 0:05:23.589 the area. 0:05:23.650 --> 0:05:27.440 So let's... Put it together for you so you can see. Saturday, 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.860 look at Marie turning up high tide at 5.53 p.m. 0:05:32.300 --> 0:05:34.480 And this is the size, 6 to 10. 0:05:34.180 --> 0:05:35.680 Feet with ripcords. 0:05:35.820 --> 0:05:38.450 Then once we get into Sunday, we have a chance 0:05:38.510 --> 0:05:42.410 of rain, high tide at 7.09 and still 4 to 0:05:42.410 --> 0:05:45.210 8 feet. And even on Monday, we're looking at 3 0:05:45.210 --> 0:05:48.570 to 6 feet, occasional 8 with a high tide at 0:05:48.589 --> 0:05:51.690 about 7 o'clock. So this is the main influence. But 0:05:51.730 --> 0:05:53.650 that rain that will come down is going to be 0:05:53.690 --> 0:05:54.359 kind of cool, too. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.300 You know, Belio, we gave out these high tide numbers yesterday. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:02.160 I envision Dallas rains sitting in a parking lot of 0:06:02.500 --> 0:06:06.500 Sizzler or Cocos or something and writing those numbers down 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:11.380 as we were knocking them out. You think that's what happened? Oh, absolutely. 0:06:11.580 --> 0:06:11.760 Yeah. 0:06:11.870 --> 0:06:16.890 He's probably in some Cocos or Denny's or IHOP. And 0:06:16.930 --> 0:06:19.070 he's like, oh, Conway's on it. Wait, slow down. 0:06:19.089 --> 0:06:19.680 Oh, no, that's a good one. 0:06:19.690 --> 0:06:23.490 What did he say? High time. Ding dong. Yeah, right. 0:06:23.830 --> 0:06:25.190 Stay dry out there, everybody. 0:06:26.589 --> 0:06:30.430 You're listening to Tim Conway Jr. On Demand from KFI 0:06:30.650 --> 0:06:33.750 AM 640. All right. 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:41.580 There's some nervous people in Vegas because taxis, Uber, Lyft, 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.860 that's how a ton of people In that area, in 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.730 that part of Nevada, make money, you know, picking people 0:06:48.810 --> 0:06:56.970 up on the strip, take them to different hotels, different shows, airport, whorehouses, 0:06:57.350 --> 0:07:03.040 you know, the whole run. And so the people get nervous. Now, Steph, 0:07:03.100 --> 0:07:07.400 you're a current Uber and Lyft driver, or both, or 0:07:07.460 --> 0:07:08.120 one or the other? 0:07:08.260 --> 0:07:10.460 Right now, it's just Uber, but I've done both. 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.460 Okay. Why did you bail on Lyft? 0:07:13.770 --> 0:07:15.500 Just lazy I haven't signed up. 0:07:16.140 --> 0:07:16.720 Okay. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:17.020 All right. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.980 I love that. I love that honesty. Only kids give 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.560 you that honesty nowadays. Laziness. 0:07:25.220 --> 0:07:25.930 I'll do it eventually. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:26.580 Yeah. Okay. 0:07:26.610 --> 0:07:29.830 All right. But we used to have a guy that 0:07:29.870 --> 0:07:34.910 we worked with. His name was Dan Finder. Malibu Dan, right? 0:07:35.810 --> 0:07:39.550 And this is 25 years ago. And I wasn't going 0:07:39.570 --> 0:07:41.470 to be home on a Sunday night, but I saw 0:07:41.890 --> 0:07:44.090 the promo for 60 Minutes, and I knew they were 0:07:44.110 --> 0:07:45.210 going to do a great story, and I wanted to 0:07:45.250 --> 0:07:47.790 use the audio on Monday. And so I said to 0:07:48.310 --> 0:07:51.880 Malibu Dan, I said, hey, buddy, can you record? It 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.460 was on VHS, right? Can you record 60 Minutes and 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.760 bring it in, and I'll transfer it on to audio 0:07:56.780 --> 0:07:57.880 and put it in the audio vault and play it 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.120 on Monday? He goes, you got it, buddy. And so 0:08:01.260 --> 0:08:03.930 I came in on Monday. I said, hey, do you 0:08:04.370 --> 0:08:07.870 have the 60 Minutes audio? He goes, oh, man, buddy. 0:08:08.430 --> 0:08:11.830 you're not going to believe this. I said, what happened? 0:08:12.570 --> 0:08:21.610 And he said, I was too high and drunk. I said, what? Yeah, 0:08:21.650 --> 0:08:24.190 he said, I was blowing some weed with some friends, 0:08:24.710 --> 0:08:28.000 and then we got into tequila, and I was passed 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.640 out by about six o'clock, and I didn't wake up 0:08:30.660 --> 0:08:32.959 till about 9.30 or 10, and I slept through it. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.679 I said, do you know what you're saying? I mean, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.100 you work for me. I'm your boss and stuff. And 0:08:41.540 --> 0:08:43.700 you're telling me you're too high and drunk to do it. 0:08:44.390 --> 0:08:47.250 I love the honesty, but, man, oh, man, I'd come 0:08:47.290 --> 0:08:51.309 up with something better than that. You know? Imagine that. 0:08:51.990 --> 0:08:52.630 Yeah. 0:08:52.650 --> 0:08:56.050 Imagine coming in. Hey, Belio, you got the audio there? 0:08:56.070 --> 0:08:59.590 You know, the NFL's opening up. Did you get the audio. 0:08:59.500 --> 0:09:00.199 I asked you? 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:01.240 I didn't. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:02.860 Oh, Christ. What happened? 0:09:03.020 --> 0:09:09.240 Your TV's out? Or your cable? Was I drunk and high? 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.420 I forgot which word. But can you imagine if Belio 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.420 said I was too high and too drunk to work? 0:09:16.179 --> 0:09:18.670 I forgot if I was the example of what you 0:09:18.690 --> 0:09:23.869 should say versus... Yeah, whatever. But man, oh man, I 0:09:23.910 --> 0:09:26.250 can't imagine that. All right, let's find out what's going 0:09:26.309 --> 0:09:30.770 on here with Vegas because everyone's nervous that these jobs, Uber, Lyft, 0:09:30.830 --> 0:09:31.790 are going away. 0:09:32.010 --> 0:09:35.290 Becoming an Uber or Lyft driver and picking up passengers 0:09:35.309 --> 0:09:38.790 at the airport requires a license and paying a yearly fee. 0:09:39.170 --> 0:09:42.330 But now these rideshare drivers are going to have stiff competition. 0:09:42.809 --> 0:09:45.979 Because you can use a Zoox autonomous car. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:47.020 Did you hear that? 0:09:47.220 --> 0:09:48.220 Zoox. Yeah. 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.439 Z-O-O-X? Is that how they? 0:09:50.460 --> 0:09:50.800 Yeah, man. 0:09:51.020 --> 0:09:55.110 Zoox. Zoox autonomous car to take you to and from 0:09:55.130 --> 0:09:55.709 the airport. 0:09:55.790 --> 0:09:57.670 Yeah, it looks like one of those toasters. You know, 0:09:57.690 --> 0:09:59.750 it's kind of a cool looking car, I guess. 0:09:59.770 --> 0:09:59.950 It is. 0:10:00.190 --> 0:10:02.480 Not too happy about it, but, you know, it's going 0:10:02.500 --> 0:10:03.860 to take a lot of business from us. 0:10:04.100 --> 0:10:06.360 Mike Buttawalla drives Uber full time. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:07.760 Oh, what a great name. 0:10:08.059 --> 0:10:08.959 Mike Buttawalla. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:12.459 Mike Buttawalla. You think he ever got teased in third grade? 0:10:12.860 --> 0:10:13.720 The name like butt? 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.100 They called him Walla Butta. 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.280 Buttawalla? Walla Butta, hey. 0:10:17.380 --> 0:10:21.340 Buttawalla drives Uber full time. Zooks traveling to the airport 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.719 puts more hands in a small honeypot. 0:10:23.980 --> 0:10:27.020 I bet this is said to Buttawalla. He goes, hey, 0:10:27.140 --> 0:10:29.840 I read this book the other day. It's called Spots 0:10:29.940 --> 0:10:33.710 on the Wall by Who Flung Do. I bet that 0:10:33.730 --> 0:10:34.670 happened in third grade. 0:10:35.030 --> 0:10:36.330 How has business been? 0:10:37.050 --> 0:10:38.329 I still enjoy that joke. 0:10:38.570 --> 0:10:40.310 How has business been this year? 0:10:41.010 --> 0:10:45.530 Very slow. Not as safe as the previous years. maybe 0:10:45.570 --> 0:10:46.130 the economy. 0:10:46.350 --> 0:10:49.820 Driver Reginald Moore is dealing with the same thing. It's slow. 0:10:50.050 --> 0:10:52.360 The difference from when I first started to now has 0:10:52.540 --> 0:10:54.780 been really underwhelming. 0:10:54.940 --> 0:10:58.420 This is Moore's first year as a full-time rideshare driver. 0:10:58.740 --> 0:10:59.280 He's not against. 0:10:59.300 --> 0:11:00.200 Getting his feet wet. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:03.240 He's not against Zoox, but is concerned due to his 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.240 income already taking a hit. 0:11:05.460 --> 0:11:07.979 The amounts have definitely gone down. I don't know if 0:11:08.020 --> 0:11:10.800 it has anything to do with what's going on with 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.929 Zoox or any of these other companies. 0:11:12.970 --> 0:11:13.429 Hard to know. 0:11:16.610 --> 0:11:18.130 God, those Zooks cars are loud. 0:11:21.250 --> 0:11:25.430 Zoox announced Wednesday it's offering services to Harry Reid International Airport, 0:11:25.550 --> 0:11:28.689 saying in a statement, bringing autonomous transportation to one of 0:11:28.730 --> 0:11:31.990 the country's busiest airports requires true partnership. 0:11:32.870 --> 0:11:37.810 How are those Zoox? Are they like, every time I 0:11:37.850 --> 0:11:40.050 see a car like that, it's going eight miles an hour. 0:11:40.070 --> 0:11:41.350 You can't figure out which way it's going. 0:11:41.590 --> 0:11:41.870 Yeah. 0:11:41.929 --> 0:11:42.990 Because both ends are the same. 0:11:43.090 --> 0:11:43.350 Right. 0:11:43.590 --> 0:11:45.229 And yeah, I don't know if it's going forward or backwards, 0:11:45.530 --> 0:11:47.590 but they're always going 14 miles an hour. I don't 0:11:47.610 --> 0:11:49.110 know how anybody gets anywhere on time. 0:11:49.210 --> 0:11:51.630 I took one in Vegas a couple months ago, and 0:11:51.670 --> 0:11:53.729 it was great, but yeah, it takes its time. 0:11:53.870 --> 0:11:54.449 Yeah, it does. 0:11:54.490 --> 0:11:58.710 And if anything's happening in front of it, its ability 0:11:58.750 --> 0:12:01.250 to sort of adapt or either go around or whatever, 0:12:01.550 --> 0:12:03.260 it kind of sits there. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.260 You can feel it thinking on what to do. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:06.380 Same like Waymo. 0:12:06.420 --> 0:12:08.300 I think it overcompensates because it doesn't want to. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:09.120 Yeah, you're right. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.939 Especially when you're pulling right up to your destination. You're 0:12:11.980 --> 0:12:13.859 like 10 feet from it. If there are any cars 0:12:13.900 --> 0:12:15.540 that are doing the same thing, you're going to be 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.320 sitting in there and you're like, ah, just. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:18.140 Open the door. 0:12:18.340 --> 0:12:20.460 Okay, I'm glad you brought that up, Crozier, because I 0:12:20.500 --> 0:12:23.940 have the solution. I'm always the solution guy, as Belio said. 0:12:24.580 --> 0:12:27.309 I've got a million great ideas and I don't do 0:12:27.390 --> 0:12:30.850 any of them. Okay, here's the solution for Zooks and 0:12:30.890 --> 0:12:34.630 these autonomous cars. In the back, you can set it 0:12:34.770 --> 0:12:37.319 to what you want. You can set it to old 0:12:37.380 --> 0:12:40.530 woman driver, you know, little old lady in Pasadena, or 0:12:40.570 --> 0:12:43.429 you can set it to an average guy, or you 0:12:43.450 --> 0:12:45.460 can set it to Dukes of Hazzard style. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:46.640 Yeah. 0:12:47.820 --> 0:12:49.699 Where you're going to get there in eight seconds, but man, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.000 you're going to be on sidewalks and overpasses and you're 0:12:53.020 --> 0:12:53.860 going to be rolling. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:55.520 A lot of tires lifting off the pavement. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.480 Yeah, you should be able to set it at Dukes 0:12:57.540 --> 0:12:58.100 of Hazzard. 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.219 And we are grateful to the Clark County Department of 0:13:00.340 --> 0:13:03.470 Aviation and the state of Nevada for their continued support 0:13:03.590 --> 0:13:06.970 as we help shape the future of mobility. But drivers 0:13:07.030 --> 0:13:09.110 are asking the airport, what about us? 0:13:09.309 --> 0:13:10.469 Yeah, what about us? 0:13:10.650 --> 0:13:12.689 You got to think about the other people, you know, 0:13:13.170 --> 0:13:16.570 the middle people too, because they're like myself, I do 0:13:16.650 --> 0:13:20.270 a full-time job So there's a lot of guys there 0:13:20.309 --> 0:13:21.829 trying to depend on this income. 0:13:21.870 --> 0:13:24.309 Yeah, I feel bad for these guys. Full-time job trying to, 0:13:24.390 --> 0:13:28.730 you know, raise a family, you know, with Uber or Lyft. 0:13:30.270 --> 0:13:33.380 I'm sorry. Steph, what can you make on Lyft and Uber? 0:13:33.410 --> 0:13:37.400 What's your best week? Can you make a grand? You 0:13:37.420 --> 0:13:42.030 stop breathing so loudly when I ask you questions. I 0:13:42.070 --> 0:13:44.510 was making average. Electrolux in there. 0:13:44.670 --> 0:13:47.490 Like $ 1, 500 to $ 1, 600 a week. 0:13:48.230 --> 0:13:48.690 Really? 0:13:48.710 --> 0:13:50.070 Yeah. 0:13:50.070 --> 0:13:50.510 $ 1, 600 a week? 0:13:50.550 --> 0:13:50.729 Yeah. 0:13:50.870 --> 0:13:52.320 I mean, I was working a lot, though. What was 0:13:52.340 --> 0:13:54.040 the best week you ever had? How much? 0:13:56.820 --> 0:14:00.300 Probably, it always falls, like, if I would have worked 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.880 this last week, 4th of July, it was probably a 0:14:02.900 --> 0:14:04.240 little over $ 2, 000. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.540 Okay, so if you're averaging $ 1, 600 a week, you're making 0:14:06.540 --> 0:14:11.959 $ 83, 000 a year. Give or take, yeah. i mean gas 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.480 and all that yeah but that's great living. 0:14:15.260 --> 0:14:16.960 And how many how many days a week are you 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.580 out there doing that to make that much i. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.670 Was doing it monday through saturday sunday was my i 0:14:21.710 --> 0:14:24.530 had at least one i had to take one day off. 0:14:24.910 --> 0:14:27.370 Hey you're doing six days yeah and how long like 0:14:27.850 --> 0:14:29.050 average so. 0:14:29.270 --> 0:14:35.080 Uh monday would be from about 5 a.m wow till 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.590 like 5 or 6 p.m. 0:14:37.590 --> 0:14:40.250 Oh come on wait you you got you got toll 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.000 you got rides at five mostly airport stuff oh yeah 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.240 that was just airport yeah rides for the so you're 0:14:45.260 --> 0:14:47.540 working more than 70 hours a week for the most 0:14:47.580 --> 0:14:50.460 part yeah you make 85 000 a year though. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.840 Yeah i was doing pretty good 75 hours a week 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:53.740 yeah i was. 0:14:53.660 --> 0:14:55.640 Working a lot did what did you call what'd you 0:14:55.660 --> 0:14:57.250 pay in gas i know you had a hybrid what 0:14:57.260 --> 0:14:59.190 did you pay 100 bucks a week in gas yeah 0:14:59.210 --> 0:14:59.470 it was. 0:14:59.390 --> 0:15:02.330 Probably like yeah 100 maybe 150 bucks like every day 0:15:02.350 --> 0:15:04.470 i'd fill up it would be like well now i 0:15:04.490 --> 0:15:06.350 don't know how much it would be but Every day 0:15:06.390 --> 0:15:09.090 would be like 25, 30 bucks just to fill up. 0:15:09.230 --> 0:15:12.390 Were you an upscale card?

Was it a big decision to lose the mints? No, 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.680 because it was just like, it wasn't worth it. 0:15:27.020 --> 0:15:27.280 Yeah. 0:15:27.580 --> 0:15:28.440 You didn't tell everybody? 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:28.920 No. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:29.520 You didn't say, okay. 0:15:29.540 --> 0:15:30.640 We'll grab a handful.

Yeah. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.580 I never trusted the mints and the water. I always 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.680 thought that was odd. But I like the generosity of it. 0:15:50.690 --> 0:15:53.750 But I thought, I don't know. 0:15:54.010 --> 0:15:54.150 Mints. 0:15:54.170 --> 0:15:55.610 I'm driving a 7-Eleven around. 0:15:56.990 --> 0:16:00.730 Zooks and the airport declined an on-camera interview where I 0:16:00.770 --> 0:16:03.210 would have asked him about some of those concerns that 0:16:03.230 --> 0:16:06.430 the rideshare drivers have. But in a statement, the airport 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:10.200 says it's proud of its partnership with Zooks. Reporting near 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.260 Harry Reid International Airport, Joshua Pagaro, 8 News Now. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.100 There you go. Wow, this guy's on TV?

Trying to be nice, but yeah. 0:16:31.970 --> 0:16:35.730 He also sounds like he's overcome a speech impediment or 0:16:35.970 --> 0:16:37.550 he's deaf and overcame that. 0:16:37.610 --> 0:16:39.990 Yeah, there does sound like there's something a little bit 0:16:40.070 --> 0:16:41.670 that makes you kind of go, what's up there? 0:16:42.170 --> 0:16:45.170 Yeah, but I'm very proud of that.

I don't like 0:16:50.770 --> 0:16:52.370 when people do speech impediment stuff. 0:16:52.390 --> 0:16:53.230 Really? Yeah. 0:16:55.610 --> 0:16:57.550 I will tell you what, one thing I've noticed being 0:16:57.580 --> 0:17:00.050 in this industry is you got that ear for it. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.660 You gain an ear for it and you realize the, 0:17:03.300 --> 0:17:08.220 the large percentage of broadcasters that have speech impediments. 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.260 Is that right? There is a huge, I mean, if 0:17:11.300 --> 0:17:12.000 you really. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:15.200 Listen, a lot have like a lisp of some kind 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.399 or like that tongue thrust aspect.

So I don't know 0:17:24.410 --> 0:17:27.110 if they're still kind of working through it or this 0:17:27.190 --> 0:17:30.610 is the lasting aspects of them having it in the past. 0:17:30.630 --> 0:17:31.169 Oh, that's wild. 0:17:31.310 --> 0:17:33.550 I've never even put that together.
