In this week’s Uber chronicles, Vin picks up Jared from Philly while playing some Rakim, and has a dope conversation about all that was sacred during the Golden Age of Hip Hop.

Rick still doesn’t have his car back and the manager for the adjuster who is missing in action has picked up the ball and has the check sent to the body shop. Will this be the end of the saga? Tune in to find out.
Later, we talk about a bill that a democratic Massachusetts representative Carlos Gonzales proposed that would allow prisoners to donate an organ for a reduction in sentence.

It’s Day 179 and Rick’s car saga continues. After talking to everyone at Geico, Subaru, and everyone in between, he still does not have his car back despite it being repaired. Leon has beef with vegans and how they attempt to fool the masses with their faux products. Vin has been noticing the stark differences in neighborhoods as he drives UBER. The poor get poorer and the rich her richer. Is it time to reset the world?
Next, we discuss whether or not it’s possible for a global reset to occur without an extinction-level event. Will society wake up soon enough to change its destructive ways or whatever Denzel said in the Book of Eli, or are the elite just buying time until their spaceships are ready?
