- Uber for Jen?

- Um, did you get my destination?

I'm going to 91st and Amsterdam.

You're kinda going an insane route.

So just make the next left.

It's coming up right here.

And, you missed it.

Okay, it's cool, you can just take the next left.

And,

left.

Missed it.

Um, is this an Uber for Jen?

Do you speak English?

- Can I get a number two combo, no pickles.

- And a peach banana smoothie, grande.

- Great, thank you.

- So not cool.

Okay, neither one of us wants

to give the other a bad rating,

so let's just refocus.

My phone says you're best bet

is to take a U-turn right up here

and go back 20 miles.

So, we're going to make a U-turn, right,

You missed it.

Is this an Uber for Jen?

U-turn, U-turn.

And,

U-turn.

- I'm sorry Mr. Tyler but we can't help you

with a house that's that expensive.

If you and Mrs. Tyler

- Oh she's not my wife.

- I'm Jen.

91st and Amsterdam.

- Oh that makes more sense,

you said your wife was nine months pregnant.

- Yeah, she is.

- She is?

Aw!

[upbeat music]

- "Clueless" or "Mean Girls"?

- Ooh, that's tough.

- Oh my God!

- Oh my God!

- Aw, I think I just hit a dude.

[upbeat music continues]

- Oh my God, look out!

[tires squeal]

- Look at that.

Close call.

- Oh my God, I think my water just broke.

- Ah... Ah

- Oh, oh, Oh!

The head coming right now!

Waaaaa!

[baby crying]

Oh, 91st and Amsterdam.

Hey, my friend actually lives here,

how did you know?

- The app shows me where to go.

- So you are my Uber driver.

- Yep.

- Cool.

Thanks, bye.

- Bye.

- Hey, Uber for Dan.

You're just gonna want to take a left up here.

Yep, its right up here.

And...

Left.

Hehe,

damn it, that was the...

[applause]
