Riding with Marc

Cleveland-based Elvis impersonator, Johnny Elvis sings an Elvis classic, then participates in "Trade up, Bigger or Better" by trading two new shirts (one he calls "too flashy for him"—as an Elvis Impersonator—yes it was a VERY flashy silk shirt with golden paisleys and gold buttons.) for a cowboy hat he says he'll use in his new outlaw country band. Check out Johnny’s webpage to find out when his band will be performing in a venue near you: http://johnnyelvis.com Don’t forget to subscribe, like and share.

I often have the opportunity to meet my new subscribers since they subscribe while in my car. I decided to have a custom "Rideshare With Marc" Mug made up and buy 300 Starburst candies for my 300th subscriber on the chance that he or she would be in the car when they subscribed. If you want your own "Rideshare With Marc" Mug, T-shirt or other merchandise, you can get it at the link below. You can also do as I did and customize it with your own graphics or messages as well. http://ridesharewithmarc.com/shop.html

My son is a singer/songwriter and recording artist of whom I am very proud. His latest project, recently completed with his two best friends is the self-titled album, "Henry and the Woods" available on Apple Music and Spotify. The guys were kind enough to perform an acoustic cover song (Teenage Dirtbag, by Whetus) and a song from their album ("Nightmares that Don't Feel Like Nightmares"), and to share a preview of a recorded track from the new album ("Grave Digger") as well. 0:00 Introduction 0:40 Whetus cover "Teenage Dirtbag" 4:35 Original: "Nightmares that Don't Feel Like Nightmares" 7:50 Recorded Single: "Grave Digger" 10:56 Spontaneous Jam Henry and the Woods on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/artist/1346440650?app=music&mt=1 Henry and the Woods on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4QAQ9wmgCzZCkmGf7came0 More from them, including earlier unpublished songs at bandcamp.com: https://henryandthewoodsmusic.bandcamp.com and Lots more solo work from my son, Aaron Leclerc on Bandcamp: https://aaronleclerc.bandcamp.com

You might love Combos, and you might love bacon. But no matter how tempting this flavor seems, just walk away. Or, just eat some dog treats.

This young lady from Cleveland had a blast doing Karaoke in the middle of the day in my Lyft / Uber ... she was off rhythm and off key, but mad points for energy and enthusiasm.

A short game of would you rather always makes for interesting conversation with passengers.

My passenger (a hunter) tastes and reviews Epic brand Venison (deer) and Bison (Buffalo) Jerky.

I invite my passengers to compete in a "deadly" game of trivia. The winner gets a Redbull.

When this young guy (Andrew) heard my rap he was quick to let me know he raps too. We pulled up a beat and he started free styling like a beast. He had fun and his mom was clearly quite proud. I suggested his rapper name should be "Lil' Dru", but unfortunately that name seems to be taken.

I was driving a Lyft passenger from Cleveland to Akron when I was pulled over and searched. My passenger had outstanding warrants and was arrested on the spot.

After having a long conversation about Texas BBQ vs. Northern BBQ, my Uber/Lyft passenger decides to subscribe to my Youtube channel. Since he is the 200th subscriber, I decide to celebrate by buying him some northern style BBQ ribs and wings.

My Uber/Lyft passenger shares a touching original spoken word poem called "From a Boy to a Man" where he talks about how to make that transition without a father in his life. It is deeply personal and also inspirational. https://www.instagram.com/twizzysantana/

It finally happened to me. I got COVID-19 after a year on the front lines as an essential worker driving for Lyft and Uber during the pandemic.

A passenger sings a really nice version of Strawberry Wine.

This Lyft passenger played Deal or No Deal on the way to gamble at the local casino, but it's her candid and honest conversation afterward that I found more interesting, as she talks about dealing with her own mild gambling addiction.

I gave my passengers a chance to compete for up to $100 by playing the trivia challenge game, You Don't Know Jack. This is a super fun way to pass the time during longer drives with passengers, whether or not I offer up any real cash.

This passenger scheduled a ride for her birthday, and played Deal or No Deal on the way home for $100 top cash prize.

I’ve decided to try playing “bigger or better“ with passengers, starting with a paper clip and trading up for more valuable items. My goal is to get to at least $500 in value and then give that item away to someone in need. So far, in two days of trading I have a number of items to trade and also have given away a 32 inch TV so far. Subscribe to the channel and watch for regular updated as I continue my quest. Comment below, or message me through my website if you are interested in participating in trading or donating money or items for trade. http://ridesharewithmarc.com

Someone slipped this Russian MMA fighter a mystery drug on his birthday, and he's super paranoid and emotional. His antics at the Wendy's drive thru are comedy gold. Fortunately, these passengers gave me permission to share the video as long as I blocked their faces. 00:00 Intro 00:10 It's my birthday! 01:34 I'm HUNGRY! 02:20 My enemies slipped me some crazy drug 03:48 I'm gonna smoke all 5 of those @$#%! bikers! 05:50 I want something healthy (No Pork!!!) 08:34 I could never match your level of passion 09:15 (This story makes no sense at all) 10:30 This is supposed to be more than this food 12:10 Marc is awesome! 13:34 This is comedy gold Remember to subscribe, like and share!

In this Uber/Lyft "story from the road" episode, I share a tale about a woman who wanted me to referee her really dumb argument with her fiancé. As the argument gets more heated, I use a distraction tactic to change the subject and save the day.

Check out P0rsha's music on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/p0rsha She sings "life is Life" live for us, then samples "The Whole Shebang: Extreme" chips I picked up in the hood. Says they are real popular in prison. lol.

My Lyft passenger, Tony was on the way to the Cleveland Casino, so I offered him a chance to play Deal or No Deal for $100 top prize. He said he knew how the game is played, but obviously did not. He wins some money anyway.
