The other night as I was driving home from dropping a couple of friends off, I realized as I was cruising through an intersection and, you know, there could be some idiot wanting to run the red light right at this present moment right now, and I’m going to get hit.

It’s like the ultimate form of trust. We go through a light because it’s green. The green light is really telling us, trust me. Trust me. You don’t need to look any direction at all. Just come. Come down my direction. It’s safe. Come, follow me in the road, and you will be okay. Green light means okay. Green like means go. Green light means trust me.

The red light is kind of angry. But, in Los Angeles, so many people run the red lights because they’re in the middle of the intersection.

So you always have to look both ways to make sure that no one is going to hit you.

Changing lanes, just stopping at an intersection and hoping somebody’s not texting and not paying attention and doesn’t rear-end you.

With people’s addictions to cell phones nowadays, driving has really become the ultimate form and game of “trust me.”

I see people every single day staring at their phones when they’re driving. I watch people in front of me go super, super slow, and I have to pass them to the right. And as I see that, I see them, that they were texting.

In Los Angeles, everybody drives with Waze. And Waze is on your phone. It doesn’t come through your navigation. So you’re staring at this video game called Waze, hoping to negotiate through Los Angeles traffic at 5:00.

Driving really is the ultimate form of trust me that’s out there. I know, when I drive, sometimes, I look before I go, even if the light is green. Maybe I slow down just a little bit so I can maybe catch a speeding car coming in either direction.

People smoke pot. People drink alcohol. People get behind the wheel of a car… and they drive.

It really is the ultimate form of trust out there. You trust that people are going to be conscientious, and they’re going to be good drivers so you don’t get hurt that day.

And now people are obsessed with Uber. That’s the ultimate form of double trust me.

You’re getting into a car with a total stranger, and you have absolutely no idea if they’ve been drinking, doing drugs, or anything. You trust them. Why? Because, well, they got a review on Uber, and that little icon, Uber, says he or she must be safe.

The ultimate form of trust is driving. Double trust me is sitting in somebody’s car that you do not know and hoping that they don’t kill you that evening.

And it’s funny, too, because, when we get into our own cars, we put our seatbelts on. But, when we get into the backseat of an Uber or a cab, we kind of leave our seatbelts off.

Why do we this? Well, because we trust the person. They have a cab license or an Uber license, and we trust the fact that they got good reviews on Yelp. It’s really ridiculous because the ultimate form of trust is driving, which is also the most dangerous thing in the world.

Think about it the next time you hop into an Uber, a cab, or get behind the wheel. Think about all the trust that you give all these total strangers every single day. And yet you’re afraid to go and put your picture on an online dating site.

You’re afraid to go on Bumble because you think somebody might recognize you. But yet you trust people driving. It doesn’t make any fucking sense sometimes.
