It's Drivin' Me Nuts ft. Jason Prado

We sat down with Jason Prado from the Drivers Cooperative in New York City to talk about how rideshare drivers are taking matters into their own hands in the fight against Uber, and have created a competing worker owned platform. But first, we have a ludicrous startup and a few fun news items to cover (including yet another supposedly "driverless" car, where it turned out to be just a guy in there).

Don't buy Pepsico products, but also remeber that San Pellegrino is owned by Nestlé!

Ah yes my favourite part of the podcast whenever you have a somewhat respectable guest, the opening 5-6 minutes where I imagine they are either VERY there for the bits and just want to keep it going or being completely silent, distracted by uselessly trying to work the handle to the Podcasting Booth they are interred in until you are done with them. This is not a joke, it makes the context-less opening at least twice as good.

Screwface also says it in the phenomenal Steven Segal movie (and source of many, many Jungle samples) Marked for Death. Sampled in this absolute monster of a tune by Senses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT8xQQPrtqc
