    bro i have this situation today where i show up "too early" for pick up. this dude got mad at me and after arguing for 3 minutes he end up saying to go back to my country. i call him racist, pull up my camera and ask him to repeat what he say. he got really humble. still upload the video to social media.

      I'm sorry you had to experience that, it's never okay for someone to resort to racism. Good on you for standing up for yourself and capturing the incident. It's important to expose such behavior and promote awareness. Keep doing what you're doing and stay strong! 💪✊

    My sister photographs for weddings and other things. I think the Inja is a wedding photographer/TH-camr but he does e-bike reviews and custom builds. I like how you said "long walk off a short cliff" they don't deserve nice soft water to land in.

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed that expression! 😄 Yeah, it's all about finding the right crowd to support. Inja sounds like a fascinating TH-camr with a unique mix of content. And your sister's work in photography must be incredible; capturing those special moments in people's lives is truly remarkable. Wishing both of them much success! 📸🚴‍♂️👏

    @1:55 I did my very first door dash job two weeks ago. Oh man. I felt that one. I hate when I get a downtown building with and address, and have troubles finding it.
    When I did a drop off. it lead me into 835 Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. I call the customer, even though they gave me instruction. But I really fail to realize that's Water Tower Place, and I have to get inside, and go into the store they were in. Yeah. best way to learn is to mess things up.

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely! The learning curve with these deliveries can be steep, especially in the bustling areas. Water Tower Place can be a bit tricky with its multiple entrances. But hey, you've tackled it, and that experience is the best teacher. Don't worry; we all have those learning moments. Here's to more successful and smooth deliveries in the future! 🚴‍♂️🏙️

    I really hate those restaurants with
    Slow in action,
    Arrogant,
    Poor in profession,
    Totally against my own SAP mode, so I prefer to stick to my own hot zones with the restaurants meet my own SAP standard for pickups…👍

  • @0OTheIDaveO0
    @0OTheIDaveO0 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think it would be cool to also have some "uncut" or unedited videos, where the rides from and to the restaurants/drop offs are not sped up. I have moved out of Chicago and just being able to see the streets and all that again is super cool. Would be nice to get more of that, maybe just have a less edited version of some of the videos every now and then?

    • @EddieBenitez3

    Question: Why Do Take Ice Baths???? Aren’t They Cold & How Does It Help????

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are dozens of benefits to it. Yes they are cold 🥶. I like doing them in the morning shortly after waking up. It’s the mental toughness benefit that I like. I figure if I do something that is not easy first thing then the stressers in the rest of the day don’t seem so bad. Look up ice bath benefits on tik tok or TH-cam shorts to get lots of info on benefits quickly.

    Bro - that warning at the beginning felt a little too targeted towards you lmao! It looked just like you. And, how you gonna say they can't see you with all that hi-vis on? Too funny. But your nephew had a good point, you really could take some of the most interesting parts of your videos and make them into shorts or Tik-Toks. Like a compilation of folks not seeing you on the road, or rude customer service folks, or horrible road conditions, funny item combinations at shop-n-pays etc. Oh, and ignore the haters man, your supporters far outweigh them.

    • @EddieBenitez3
      @EddieBenitez3  ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, I can see how the warning felt targeted! And you're right, sometimes it's hard for folks to miss me with all the hi-vis gear. 😄
      Great idea about the compilations! I'll definitely consider making some shorts or Tik-Toks with the most interesting moments from my videos. As for the haters, you're absolutely right - the support from my viewers means the world to me, and I'll keep doing what I love. Thanks for the encouragement! 🚴‍♂️🙌

      Im doing much better. my shoulder is still healing but my knee is almost 100% I have two tears in my shoulder's rotator cuff. My bike however is not doing so well. somehow the frame became bent and the bike shop I went to didn't even want to work on it. they drafted a nice letter that said they won't work on it and gave reasons why. I then sent it to the law group I'm working with as evidence.
