When the ad played the Steely Dan song it hit me!
I am a Midwestern Dad...although I live in the South, am Black, and a Grandfather.

Ask Jeeves. And Steely Dan.
A halcyon waltz through my childhood. Thank you Stephen!

The writers hit it out of the park again.

I actually had a driver very much like this (in the Midwest!) and one of his attributes featured on Uber was, Great conversationalist. LOL! So sweet.

1:15 - Stephen: "Folks, I'm a bit of a tech head. Don;t believe me? Ask Jeeves."
The funny thing is that knowing what "Ask Jeeves" is, shows that he is actually indeed a tech head. It was the earliest search-engine (based on questioning -answering) on the early internet in the later 1990's.

Stephen. I watch you every morning and this morning "mid western dad" really cracked me up. I also play Reeling in the years:) Thanks for keeping it lite.

I would unironically love midwestern dad as a rideshare service

[MariaBareiss]

Wow, including Steely Dan, with the air-guitar playing Dad? TOO REAL!

[BrianBurke]

Free money AND I get to listen to Steely Dan?! Sign me up!

[prothean]

I would love if this was a thing. It's quite wholesome, I love it.

[joostcbruikman]

We all laugh but deep down everyone knows they want this. Hugs and feeling safe and cared for are NOT overrated.

[jenniferkiehl]

hilarious sketch and a perfect Steely Dan guitar riff to the commercial break? I love this show. It is my coffee ❤

[ongogablogian]

I worship at the alter of Walter Becker and Donald Fagan. Does that make me a square too?

[michellegill]

From a Midwest daughter of two Midwest parents, you forgot the "Let me know you got there safely, gimme a call when you land!"

[renatacantore]

[guzmandiva]
