Friendly Frank and Mike are at it again.  Frank clearly explains why he is nor isn't frank.  Goes over his new airport strategy, and how he is making subtle changes in his health, not to include vaping.  Mike goes over his scientific survey on why people choose Lyft over Uber and visa versa.  Is OC where expendable income lives?  And just when you thought you were in the thick of it.  Friendly Frank reveals that he receives "messages" and sends out codes to the people who "get it".  Mike misses a huge factor in a text to speech situation. And to wrap it all up Friendly Frank ends the episode on a Pro Bono ride for a homeless lady.  Just another wonderful week in ride share.

Here we go again the boys get going right off the bat.  Frank finally notices Mike has a beard after three months.  Frank eludes to Mike's impulsive past and possible repercussions.  The boys report on the unfortunate death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and 7 other people in a helicopter accident.  They reflect on you never know what could happen. Mike questions the energy he draws toward himself and wonders what people think of him on first sight.  They discuss Frank's discipline in resisting ideas of change.  Mike revises his statements on star ratings, and driver’s cleanliness.  Frank explains how he gets out of giving friends rides to the airport. Mike explains why ratings do matter. Frank goes over his near death incident that no one saw, and Mike reminds you the importance of seat belts.  Another episode down in the dark underworld of ride share.

A pure rideshare conversation.  Journey with Friendly Frank and Mike on what it is to be a rideshare driver, and rider throughout today.  They don't go into "they"; and discuss topics like the the "system", "updates", being a kid a long time ago.  Find out how "they" get over DFon you.

The guys discuss the new ride share rules/laws.  Will we or will we not be Uber employees.  Mike goes over his LAX experience.  Which leads to another feel good story on the benefits of Rideshare.  The episode takes twist and turns as usual, and ends in a debate. 

Well Friendly Frank and Mike Strike again.  They really do try to stay with rideshare (they really do).  We start with another Fro rape story.and quickly dive into some social commentary.  This really should have been the 4th of July episode as the fireworks between Mike and Friendly Frank get intense.  Don't worry we think they are still friends.

This week is a little different as neither of the guys got any drive time in, however they didn't want to let anyone down so they just talk for an hour.  But as usual their conversations reach the outlands of the universe.  We find out that Friendly Frank is actually an optimist, Mike loves to bootleg, and hates people who say "no spoiler alerts".  Mike attempts to introduce an optional format once a month.  The guys discuss Singers vs. Performers and how Uber helps Marriage.  How can they resist discussing Epstein which then leads into prison reform.  Listen in on the first ever non-drive show.
