  Speaker 1: before you get in. You can say I don't want
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to talk on Uber.
• 0:57

• 0:59
  Speaker 2: no conversation, and you can ask for the temperature. You
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: can ask for the music. I don't think we all
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: like take the time to do that because sometimes you're
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: just I need to get a newburg. So if you
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: haven't done that, she's saying that she feels silence isn't
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: rude per se, but the person may feel ignored, so

  Speaker 2: you want to acknowledge, but let them know, like, Okay,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that's it, right, done here now.
• 1:21

• 1:24
  Speaker 1: remember I told you that story. Yeah, it was kind
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of like not really a gag. But my wife was like,

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it during the pandemic?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: No?

  Speaker 1: No, no, it was before the pandemic. It was like
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: late twenty nineteen, and I had some extra time on
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: my hands. Little did I know kids would change everything, right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But my wife was like, you're free during the afternoon,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you should just drive for a lyft and because you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: love driving and make some money. And I did it
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for like three weeks. Yeah, And I was surprised how
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: many people just wouldn't talk, Like they didn't even say
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to talk. Oh, they was just get
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: in the back of the car.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Would they say anything.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That they afternoon they'd be on their phone the whole time, Yeah,

• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to shut me down.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And you never felt insulted by that, you were okay, No, I.
• 2:11

• 2:13
  Speaker 1: driving anyway when I'm alone, So it's just like I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: alone and I would maybe say, hey, do you like
• 2:18

• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and they had no problem with it, right, But.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well, I mean that's just a way. It's
• 2:25

  Speaker 2: you're getting, like you're getting your hair done, or if
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you're really looking and you're getting a massage, whatever it is, right,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and you don't feel like talking, it's a little awkward.

• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and just rip that band it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Off, yeah, and then be done with it if you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: don't do it, yeah, because sometimes your brain just needs
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a break.
