I gave an Uber driver a bad review for the music he played
At 15:50 · chapter starts 4:02
Shayne introduces the first story from the Two Hot Takes subreddit, giving a shout-out to Morgan as its curator. A 24-year-old woman and her girlfriend land in Arizona at 1 AM, already unsettled by their driver swearing to himself ('fuckin' piece of shit,' 'fuckin' crackheads'). When he asks if they want music and they say 'anything,' he plays an artist called Playful Devotion — specifically a track called 'Primal Vow' — with a trunk subwoofer that physically vibrates the passengers' rib cages. He cranks the volume when they nervously tell him it's 'cool' out of pure fear. [1] — Shayne Topp "Two women land at 1 AM in Arizona and their Uber driver asks if they want music, then blasts AI-generated BDSM tracks with a trunk subwoofe…" 08:51 The hosts discover mid-discussion that Playful Devotion is an AI-generated act; Ian adds that someone can generate 50 albums in a week and dump them on Spotify. Shayne reads the explicit chorus live on air — 'fuck me raw, take it hard, break the bed leaving scars' — and the group collectively concludes it was 'written by something without a soul.' Verdict: not overreacting; he should be reported.
The BDSM Uber Driver From Hell
Two women land at 1 AM in Arizona and their Uber driver asks if they want music, then blasts AI-generated BDSM tracks with a trunk subwoofer so powerful it vibrated their rib cages. They're too afraid to ask him to stop. The song is called 'Raw' by Playful Devotion, and reading the lyrics live on air makes Shayne conclude: 'it's written by something without a soul.'
30-min ride at 1 AM with BDSM music
Two women landed at 1 AM and their Uber driver immediately started blasting explicit AI-generated BDSM music at full bass volume for their 30-minute ride.
Bass subwoofer in trunk vibrating ribs
The Uber driver had a subwoofer in his trunk so powerful it was physically vibrating the passengers' rib cages.
AI Music Is Already Indistinguishable — And That's Terrifying
Ian reveals he once sat through an entire Uber ride of AI-generated music without realizing it until he studied the album covers — all featuring a crying old man. The revelation: one person can generate 50 albums in a week and dump them on Spotify. Shayne's reaction: people might not even know they're consuming AI, and worse, they might not care.
