Certainly, it's not a representative cross-section of people, I would say.

There's definitely a selection bias in who picks you up.

They tend to be more open and more risk-dolerant.

were you just in need of a car or what was going on no i um enjoy meeting people and it's i enjoy the experience of meeting people and weird episodic uh sense of which just you never know what's going to happen i think i have a very high tolerance for ambiguity and i enjoy that

I think some people are just totally normal people.

families moving their child to college and you get there and you help them you know move some stuff into the dorm room just to just to thank you all the way through to absolutely wild uh cases probably 20 just like this is one of the craziest things that ever happened uh in one way or another yeah any particular examples about of the wireless oh yeah huge i mean it's just i

Absolutely fire hose of wild things happening.

I could tell so many stories.

Like, I remember once there was a trucker who picked me up in the desert outside Salt Lake City and who drove me to Battle Station, Nevada, and who...

As we were talking, the truckers are always, in fact, the most interesting of all.

It's typically illegal or in any way in violation of their employment contract for them to pick people up.

So those guys are really, and it's always guys, are really pushing the envelope in terms of picking you up.

The truckers often will say, you're the first person I've had in my cab in 20 years of trucking or something.

And then they tell you about 20 years worth of things that have been on their mind.

So I'd say that those are often the really interesting ones.

As I said, there was this one in Utah who was just talked from the moment I got into the cab until we got to Nevada.

And I kind of got the feeling that he had sort of excess experience.

mental capacity and that this was his, you know, he was now just going to dump it on me.

And he was telling me all about his life.

And I remember this very well, how his brother-in-law thought he was a loser, his sister's husband, but like now we had the hot fiance, so who was the loser?
