¶ A-Game
We’re riding along with our rideshare driver as they work their shift picking up various passengers around town. As a member of the chat, you can change the radio station, trigger a traffic stop, talk to the driver and passengers- or even eject somebody from the car! There are a variety of other ways to affect the show, so jump in and start exploring- or just sit back and enjoy the ride!
¶ B-Game
During this format's B-Game, Gas Station TV, Socrates pulls into a gas station to fill up the hot car. While waiting for the tank to fill up he likes to watch the commercials on the little TV to see if there are any interesting new products he should buy.

¶ Sub-Game
The Sub-Game is triggered when the subscription goal is reached during the live stream of the episode. It goes without saying that if the goal isn't reached then the sub-game doesn't happen. Ride Share has gone through a few different Sub-Games over the years:
¶ Fuck My Car
The most current Sub-Game for Ride Share is called, "Fuck My Car." It was introduced for the first time during Episode #536 which aired on March 2nd 2024.
During this game the viewers follow an unsuspecting character and their car to ENS West Coast Customs to get very special custom features added to their vehicle for FREE.
You'll have to tune in to see if they drive off happy or very very confused and afraid.
¶ Rides to Riches
This sub-game is reminiscent of the gameshow "Cash Cab" where random passangers come aboard their hotcar and are surprised to hear they now have to answer random questions to win a prize and using their lifelines are not optional!
¶ New Paint Job
Before Rides to Riches there was New Paint Job.
Socrates takes his car to Everything Now Customs, the body shop owned by Sling Blade, to get a new paint job decided by chat via click maps.

¶ Recurring Bits/Jokes
- The cops in Now York just can't seem to figure out how to work their seatbelts.
- It's against the law along Socrates's route to drive while sober. Often times the local cops will pull him over and hand him a beer to drink while driving (no, ENS does not condone drinking and driving in real life!)
¶ Behind the Scenes
- Ride Share was the first rotating-character format introduced on ENS. It was originally a one-off, but ended up being so successful that the ENS cast decided to create additional similar formats. As of 02/06/2024, ENS has about 19 active formats.
- The original name for the Ride Share format was "Need a Ride?" which is where the "Need a Ride?" language comes from in the short bumper between the A-Game and the B-Game and earlier episode titles.
- The New Paint Job B-Game was one of the more technically intensive games to develop and took more prep work pre-show than any other game.
