Ever wondered how a simple decision to skip the New Year's Eve gig rush could shape your thoughts on the gig economy? That's what we tackle first-hand in our latest episode, as we muse over opting for a quieter delivery shift the day after and the implications of the new Biden administration labor rule on gig workers' status. Get ready to hear how this move might sweep everyone from janitors to truckers into employee roles, perhaps against their wishes.

Scooters, safety, and the infamous 'MAGA Karen' incident – they're all up for a lively discussion in our urban mobility debate. We ponder the wisdom of a city's post-10 PM scooter shutdown and toss around ideas for balancing safety and revenue. Then, strap in as we dissect a viral video of a rideshare confrontation, showcasing the finesse needed by drivers to maintain their cool during unexpected high-stress moments.

 We also chew over the effects of minimum wage hikes on gig workers, specifically looking at California's changing landscape leading to a rise in third-party delivery services. Lastly, we share a chuckle over a food delivery faux pas from TikTok, rate our favorite burger joints, and weigh the value proposition of fast food
