00:00All right, so Uber has just unveiled, I think, maybe the best thing ever.
00:03Like, I think every company or every person should learn from this.
00:08There is going to be now a silent button.
00:11When you order your Uber that you can hit, and that basically notifies the driver, there'll be no talking in that Uber ride.
00:17Oh, my gosh.
00:18Can I take this button with me everywhere?
00:20Isn't it weird, though?
00:21Sometimes I do get, I'm like, dude, this Uber driver seems interesting.
00:25I would like to almost interview them, like have a conversation.
00:28Yeah, so you can put the unmute button.
00:30Right, but that's what I was thinking.
00:33So while you're in the Uber, like what if it's like I hit the silent button, okay, and I get in the Uber, and like I'm driving, I'm like, this person looks interesting.
00:39And then I hit the unmute, and it goes, bing, and the Uber driver's like, hey, how you doing?
00:43Good, how are you?
00:43What's your story?
00:44And then he starts talking, and I'm like, all right, I'm bored.
00:45He's like, well, you know, this isn't my day job.
00:47I'm bored, and then I go, bing, mute, and he just shuts up and stops talking.
00:51That's awesome.
00:52But then five minutes later, I feel bad, so I go, bing, unmute, and he's like, so anyway, where are you going?
00:57Well, I'm going here, going there, and what are you doing tonight?
01:00He tells me, like, you know, he's just driving all night, and then it's like, bing, mute.
01:02It's like, you know, so he's got to keep upping his game to like make the conversations better and better.
01:08That is amazing, and I would love to be in the Uber when that happens.
01:12That is so great.
01:14Mute, unmute, unmute, unmute, just back and forth, back and forth.
01:17But this is available now.
01:18You can start muting your driver, well, like before you get in, not, you know, yeah.
01:23Well, unless you want to have fun with it.
01:24But, you know what, it's relatable, and I feel like this is needed because I don't know how you feel about it, but you know when you order an Uber, and then it tells you the ratings of the driver, and it'll tell you what he's been given high stars for, and it'll say, like, Jay is great with conversation.
01:42Right.
01:42And if you're in the mood to not talk, you're like, oh, my gosh, I got to ride 35 minutes to the airport with Jay, who's telling me his life story, and how his girlfriend cheated on him?
01:51Like, I can't.
01:52I know, but those are some of the ones that if you're in there with a group of people having fun, like, those are interesting stories.
01:57Like, I've been in an Uber before where something similar happened, and we actually, he was in this kind of a disagreement with this other Uber driver, and he gave us the other Uber driver's number, cell phone number.
02:07What?
02:07So we called the guy all night.
02:09We just blasted him left and right, you know?
02:11It's just crazy.
02:11So sometimes it gets kind of cool.
02:13Yeah, I love talking to him a lot of the times, but sometimes, you know, you're just, you're tired.
02:18You're like, I don't want to.
02:19You're drunk.
02:21I mean, why'd you call the Uber?
