Welcome to Beach to Sandy Water to Wet, a podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think. need the world to know what they think. Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast, but I'd give it zero stars if I could. Good afternoon. Welcome to Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet. Where the beaches are sandy, the water is wet, and we read the worst reviews in the most dramatic fashion. My name is Christine.

And my name is Zandy. Aw. Did you write that down or something? You would think I would have needed to, but actually, you know, I'm on antidepressants now, and I get really focused and jazzed up about things. So I think that's a side effect. I hope I get that side effect. I don't know. It hasn't kicked in yet. Me too. Give it a couple more weeks.

Give it a few weeks. Before you know it, you'll be shouting at people through the audio waves. Okay. Listen in everybody. Okay. Two weeks from now, I'll be shouting at people through the audio waves. Okay, listen in everybody. Okay, two weeks from now, I'll be shouting at you maybe. If he's not jazzed up, then he needs to go get a new prescription. Up that dosage. Welcome, everybody. Today we're talking about Halls of Fame. Is that how we say it? Yeah, I think Halls of Fame is correct because Hall of Fames doesn't make sense. Yeah. You know. I agree. And Halls of fame makes it sound like we're i don't know erudite yeah something that often comes through in our show um are you ready you want to go yeah yeah sure the topic i want to say was suggested by reena she her so thank you i think it was a

fun one um i meant to ask you whether you used any emails because yes i did okay did you go through all of them um no i don't think so because i was gonna go through the rest of them to see what else was there but um i guess we didn't but maybe i'll do that for between you and us next i'll i'll go through the rest of the halls of fame because there were a lot of emails and there were some helpful random fun ones that i wanted to check out so i will get to it eventually so yeah i'll go first uh this was an email from brady who actually sent this like way back in the day so this was before this topic even came up as a theme and this is of the rock and roll hall of fame it's a one-star review by jay

if you want to see Michael Jackson's glove or Dolly Parton's dress, this is the place for you. If you want to learn about the musicians enshrined there, don't waste your time. During my visit while standing at the Beach Boys display, a patron asked me a question about the band. As I answered, a group formed around me, and I spent the next 40 minutes answering questions about many of the artists enshrined Oh my god. And my flock gathered round as I led them to the promised land. I mean, my goodness. First of all, those first two things sound pretty cool.

Do we want to see Michael Jackson's glove or Doy parton's dress hell yeah i do sure although you could just go to like a hard rock cafe for stuff like that you could and i did and i will do it again probably do it again worth it um yeah i love that how i'm not actually allowed back because last time i stood up and said hey i want to tell everybody about all the artists enshrined here. And they said, you may not preach in our. Was that in like Munich? The Munich one? It was the Berlin one. Oh, the Berlin one.

Yeah. Yeah. I had one too many of those blue cocktails they make. What are they called? Hurricanes or something? Something or other. I don't know. Anyway, sorry.

This is not our hard rock episode. Wow. Did we do a hard rock episode? No. We should. That's not a bad idea. I rock episode. Wow. Did we do a hard rock episode? No. We should. That's not a bad idea. I like it. Yeah.

So anyway, this guy, Jay, it's too bad he just had to become the tour guide, the docent, if you will. It's too bad. It's too bad for him. Yeah. I hope they offered him a job on the spot. I hope so. My first one here is from Erica Sheher, who uh sent uh reviews in of the country music hall of fame in nashville here's a one-star review by mike way overpriced for a museum that you just

walk through by yourself and read end of review you wanna you heard it jay isn't that the perfect one right stuff right in right say they should trade museums it's not enough to look at michael jackson's glove i need to hear jay tell me all about it i mean i don't understand what this person thinks a museum is all exactly all i want is to be left alone and walk through things and look at rock through a museum look at cool things like what and read about them i don't understand i like just don't get what what what was this person's expectation going in i'm telling you uh i don't know but i your eyes are lit up right i'm sorry i'm looking for something very specific that i think will go right hand in hand but oh my god we're just gonna have a chain these

together chain reaction like i'll find a relevant one next uh okay well i don't know where it is but um maybe i lost it it's okay but yeah there was a review somewhere i think a couple people sent it in where the guy was like they won't let me touch anything and i'm like are these people all just not aware of what a museum is i think it's one like that too i was like i had one for the salt and pepper or salt salt shaker or whatever they wouldn't let me leave with their product yeah we i brought it up to buy and they got mad at me because they said stop touching the displays and then there was but and there was an attached gift shop or something that you could buy a place to buy them oh my god silly can you imagine being like i would like this glove where's the other one it's like that don't touch that that's that's not yours that's michael

jackson's okay next up i have an email here from sarah aka monty jr's godmother i was gonna say is it the sarah sarah uh pronouns sheifer uh and this is of the nascar hall of fame in her hometown of charlotte north carolina this is a one-star review by Patrick. the only people there carrying a weapon and that makes them an easy target i will not support a business that takes away my right to defend myself my family and those around me they have nothing to fear from concealed handgun permit holders who by virtue of training and background checks lol have proven themselves sane sober and law-abiding lol double lol what uh end of review uh and the the file uh that sarah had like i downloaded it and it had a name and it just said oh good lord it was the file and i was like yeah that's pretty pretty standard man um i've seen some like nascar content and like it's one of those things that like

i don't know i i would love to be a fan of something like that but the rest not the rest but a lot of the fandom i couldn't get behind it's tough i mean even just the fact that you're saying well it's it's just plain fact that we it's been proven that people who carry handguns with permits are sober law-abiding insane it's like that's not how what do you mean what do you mean there's proof of that whatever i mean it's a ridiculous to be like then a criminal will know they're the only one i'm like yeah same with a school same with a church like yeah exactly and doesn't that shouldn't be the point whatever i mean more guns is not gonna help anything um also like what kind of criminal is going to the nascar all of fame like what what are they

getting out of it they're walking past every shop looking for the sign that says like no concealed weapons and they're like oh boy jackpot jackpot um but with nascar it's like they um they banned the confederate flag oh that didn't go over well i already know well that's a thing it's like which is great but the fact that it had to be banned to begin it was probably controversial oh yeah no very much so so it's like it's like damn and i see like nascar and tiktok sometimes and i'm like oh these are funny and stuff and then i'm like oh then i think about like a very vocal group of the fandom but um yeah it's a shame maybe we should um take over yeah take over nascar great again make nascar great again oh my gosh yeah because like i don't know

i think it would be cool to get into i mean watching uh when we went to that one in that speedway in indiana lawrenceburg speed. Lawrenceburg. That was a time. They gave me, I ordered a Bud Light and they were like, you have to buy them in like packs of eight or 11 or some random number. I was like, okay, I guess I'll buy 11 Bud Lights. And they handed me a trash bag full of ice with a bunch of Bud Light. And I was like, I could get used to this. This is my kind of jam.

Except I have a feeling that the Confederate flag isn't banned there. Oh, maybe not at the Lawrenceburg Speedway. Oh, boy. Anyway. Anyway. My next one's from Riley Sheher, who has a review of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Fun. Here is a review by Evan.

One star. I had the misfortune of attending this place recently. It's dismal with nothing intelligent. A place of idolatrous worship where the little pagans go to idolize their little gods. What a waste of space. End of review. Oh my god. And it's, they have a picture and it's just of the Hockey Hall of Fame logo.

This is just a hockey museum, basically. And the pictures they included are legitimately of the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Little Pagans? They're in the right place. Did I miss something? I don't understand. I don't know. Maybe they don't appreciate the level of worship that hockey players get

in Canada? I don't know. I mean, okay, but like, have you ever been to any other sporting museum or music hall of fame or all those pagan Canadians worshipping their lords and saviour? Why would you even go there if you're like

so, whatever. I mean, there's so many questions. Yeah, how does one get the misfortune of attending this place when it's not like when one is a god-fearing christian like this person how do you end up there is your church having some sort of potluck there like otherwise i don't understand why you're there oh well interestingly enough my next one is of the women's basketball hall of fame and this was sent in by Bales. And it's by Jim.

It's a two star. And the title on TripAdvisor is a little disappointing. You can tell that this attraction was built by a nonprofit organization. It's very informative. But unless you're fascinated by women's basketball, it's a little boring. Worth the time to see. Just expect a museum instead of an attraction what for you yeah i will expect it you better care about women's basketball at least a

little bit if you're going to the women's basketball hall of fame i know it doesn't seem like you should or like they would go hand in hand whatsoever but if you want to enjoy yourself you should at least have a slight interest what a ridiculous people are so ridiculous it's like going to a sushi place saying i hate sushi and being like i don't understand i'm so disappointed yeah and being like surprised that it's not as exciting or yikes it's very informative are these people i don't know i'm telling you all these little pagans running around worshiping their gods. Oh, man. My next one here is this was sent in by Veronica, who sent this in of the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn, Michigan. Ah, I was going to say Detroit, somewhere near there, probably.

Sure. I went there, I think. Cool. Or wait, no, I went to the Ford factory. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Were you there? No, I was not. Okay. Never mind. I went to the Ford factory. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Were you there? No, I was not. Okay.

Never mind. I went to a car museum in Nashville. You've never really seen true unfiltered joy until you've seen our stepfather in the Ford factory watching them create, build cars. Yeah. I thought we were going to miss the live show because he was so mesmerized anyway sorry i'm just reminiscing it's so true though that car museum like i i don't think it's possible to spend more time in that place i think we got kicked out every inch no it was great though here is a one-star review this is by uh devin

don't waste your time guys there are not a bunch of muscle cars you're exotics it is really our history of cars like who invited breaks it was boring and not worth it if it was free end of review wait what who invited breaks who invited breaks invited breaks to this place i like the brakes being off. I want to watch NASCAR. No, yeah, this was just a mess of a review. No punctuation. And they meant to say invented brakes, I assume. Oh, I'm so stupid.

So they're saying this is about who invented brakes. Who invented brakes. So it was an informative place. Again, this person went here expecting to see exotic cars and ended up learning a thing or two about brakes. You know, I feel like it's relevant. Brakes are relevant to cars, I would argue. I think unless you're going to Lawrenceburg Speedway, maybe the brakes are not as relevant. But I would think I wouldn't be surprised and disappointed to see an exhibit exhibit about breaks at a car museum but you know what do i know you said you wouldn't be disappointed i

don't think i don't like to think i would be surprised or disappointed yeah i would be very neutral i don't i don't think i'd be i'll go as far as to say i'll say i won't be excited yeah excited is a little strong yeah um now the lack of muscle cars might be a deal breaker for me um you have a couple of yourself i do i call it my own little hall of fame you know my own that's all that's what it's the sign above your garage says my own little hall of fame that's why our stepdad comes over so often just to stare at my little hall of fame of you know your twodad comes over so often just to stare at my little hall of fame of you know your two muscle cars my two muscle cars yeah what are they which one is an

orange one oh yeah trying to make it accessible for everybody oh of course the orange one how many wheels four wheels it does have a fifth one oh where in the middle like right in the center right in the center wow it's um i never saw that wheel well maybe you should come and pay a visit and by pay a visit i mean it costs you about 11 okay yeah there's no family discount um but yeah there's the orange one and then there's Super turbo man of action. The fuck? Mobile. Oh, no.

That one only has four wheels. Okay. Only. Wow. I know. I know. I didn't upgrade. A little less muscle.

A little less muscle. little little less muscle um okay i'm sorry i'm getting the phone number for uh the automotive hall of fame to make sure that they know to include you next year call jay leno he knows oh yeah yeah yeah he knows he knows all about that okay um what do i have for you this is of uh the pro football hall of fame and this was sent in by allison she her and there's two here back to back that I think go together in my mind. They're actually redemption. Well, sort of redemptions. The first one's four stars by Judith. And it says, just picking up my sister-in-law from work. end of review i love that just in a parking lot that's so cute she's taking a little bit of time in the locker getting her stuff ready i'll write a quick review and then this is a three-star view by chuck employees doing a great job oh i'm sorry a great cob i didn't read that properly how i love how you thought like you your brain filled in job instead of cob it It's doing a great cob with a K.

I guess they're next to each other. So that makes sense. So anyway, I just thought like, oh, my sister-in-law works here. Chuck really thinks the employees are kicking ass. And Judah's sister-in-law seems to be the- It's the place to be. The glue that holds them all together. The turbo man.

What did I say? I don't want to remember the uh common denominator here like just the employee that's just true stanley doing her job kicking butt um so yeah go to the pro football hall of fame i guess love it that's the one that sent me to the bathroom with puffy eyes when i made that oh my god you're right that's how we got to this cleveland it's in uh canton ohio canton okay yeah yeah yeah rock and roll is in cleveland yeah yeah yeah yeah so next comes uh the best parts of today's episode oh okay this is this uh subject is of this email flanfo's roadside america hall of halls of fame stop it what email. Flanfo's Roadside America Hall of Halls of Fame.

Stop it. What is this? Flanfo. What did you do, Flanfo? Went through the Roadside America. Okay, so Flanfo went through all 74 page results on Roadside America. 74 pages. Hall of Fame.

Oh, God. And included reviews. I have a headache. Of a handful of them. Oh, God. And included reviews. I have a headache. Of a handful of them. On your behalf, Flanfo. So I'm going to read, I think, yeah, I'm going to read most of these. The first one is of NASCAR Hall of Fame. Okay.

In Charlotte, North Carolina. This is by someone with the last name White. That's relevant. One star. If your last name happens to be White, like mine is, be prepared for their system to list your name as profane when you go to register for the driving simulator. Paid all that money just for this ignorant establishment to discriminate against our name. We will never be back. End of review.

You know what? I think I read that. I think I think Sarah sent that in, too, with the other NASCAR. I'm pretty sure. Or somebody did. But wow. But profane. What if this driving simulator, when you put in whatever name you want, it names your car blank power? Oh, my God. So then if you put in white, it's going to say white power. And they're like, we can't have that. That's now the truth that I've decided to live with. Yeah, I think that now that would be something.

Wow. I don't know. Who decides what words are unacceptable? What if your name is last name? I mean, that's not an uncommon name, you know, or brown or black. Yeah, exactly. I have no idea. Wow.

Interesting. I have no idea. I don't know why that would happen. But I think also to be so sensitive to it. Also, big. Well, I just might not just laugh it off. Yeah. I don't know.

So what? Your whole day was ruined? You're driving, you couldn't drive white power through the simulator? It's like, what if your name's Dick and you put Dick? Very good point. Granted, a little different, but. Dick power coming through. That name's encouraged.

Oh, boy. That's wild. So are you reading these back to back or do you no there's breaks in between oh we're taking breaks okay this is another one of the pro football hall of fame and it's another redemption it's a four-star review by bridget nice place to visit very informative anyone coming to akron or canton make this a stop. Would have given a five star, but I don't give five star ratings. End of review. That's the worst. With a ton of pictures of all the exhibits. It's just like, I don't know.

I don't even know why I included it. I just knew it would make you mad. That would piss me off. I want to meet the person who says, I guess this person's me, who leaves two stars, said I'd give one star, but I don't do that. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that. Now that would be something we've never come across before.

No, no. Yeah. I just on principle don't give. That's like those teachers who are like, I don't give A's. Oh, fuck that. You're right. You can't. What do you mean?

That's nothing. You're going to screw over everyone's GPA because you decided to like break all the norms. That's exactly what this is like. Really drives me nuts. What's the point here what's the point this next one is uh potentially the most alarming one and oh also will be the subject of our instagram post i've decided okay uh this is of the mascot hall of fame oh god uh it's in whiting indiana sorry that n NASCAR person should have been driving there. Whiting, Indiana. What the hell is that? Okay.

Anyway, and Christina, the photos are terrifying. Oh, no. It's like mascot stuff. Okay. Is that bowling ball? Is Spinge Bob on there? Spinge Bob is not on here. Thank God.

Christina, I can't with these. I'm trying. You'll see. no y'all go to go to beach to sandy on instagram and uh link will be in the show notes too but y'all you gotta see these we're posting them okay i also this comes out i typed a mascot in our inbox because i know there were so if izzy and patrick i think also sent mascot i don't know i haven't read thanks y'all okay so i don't know but i haven't read them. Thanks, y'all. Okay. So I don't know. But I remember seeing that in like a subject line or something. Oh, my gosh.

Okay. Well, thank you. I'm curious what this is about. Well, here's a review. Two stars. I think by itself, nothing special. But I feel like there's something sinister happening. Oh, no.

Considering the photos that were included, which are all these like really scary mascot photos. Greatly appreciated. They. Disrespectful. Rude. Won't. Taken. My costume's there.

I'm. Keep them all. End of review. Holy crap. He's inside a mascot costume. It's probably this one. Oh, no. Isn't that terrifying?

That's bad for me. And then Flanfo at the bottom of the email sent this photo, which is like a close up of the zoo. It's a giant beak. And she said, you must forward this email to seven friends in seven days or the cursed bird will come for you. Honestly, I've never believed one of those until now. Until now, right? One of those cursed forwards. Isn't that terrifying?

That review just made no sense. So it's just like. So they're saying they won't take my mascot costumes i think they're saying like i tried to give them my costumes so but they won't take them for their museum which is like what are you talking what are you doing the punctuation was so weird i know i think they're either stuck inside one of the mascots and they can't see properly And their fingers are big bird hands. Like, I don't know. Oh, I'm keep them all. I'm keeping. Okay. So I guess. So, but they start with greatly appreciated and then they disrespectful rude won't take in my costumes there. I'm keep them all. So yeah. Okay. I guess if I piece it together without the periods it still doesn't make much sense but i that sounds about right i don't like taken as its own you know a little segment yeah right taken yeah but uh he's inside that bird zoom in really closely you can see the

eyes the frayed eyes it's terrifying um yeah so y'all go to beach to see for that mess so what are we putting oh just that that horrible oh my god all of these terrifying mascots okay patrick said this exact same one sent this exact funny okay and now i'm looking closer at this isn't it scary oh my god so that so they must be so like these are his costumes these aren't like the place oh shit oh no you didn't even add the part that this we're not gonna say their name but their their name has the word mascot mascot in it so clearly this is part of their identity so i actually just now because i wanted to see what Izzy sent. And Izzy sent a review also of the Mascot Hall of Fame, but a different one star. So I'm going to read that one now just for fun.

It says, hi, Jeefer, with a Z, Jeefer Zibs. So let me pull this up. I haven't really read it yet. So hopefully it's good. One star by Cody. I went in and was enjoying my visit. When they told me it was closing time, I continued to look. They said a few other things and I continued to look.

They called the police to have me removed from the museum. Once again, I'm convinced this person is inside one of the costumes. What is going on at this mascot museum? They're like, I was looking around. They said to leave. So I kept looking around. They said a few more things. So I kept looking around.

What are you? Anyway, they called the police to have me removed from the museum. They never said, Hey, you have to leave now. Period. I will never set foot in the place again.

Well, I think you're probably not allowed. Yeah. I think that's what you have to worry about. I will never set foot in the place again. Well, I think you're probably not allowed. Yeah, I think that's not something you have to worry about. That's what I decided for you. I will never set foot in the place again after the way I was treated from everyone there. Do not eat in that town either unless you like to hear the locals talk about how much they love the XP pipeline and fracking because that's where they refine the oil. You can taste the oil in the local restaurants.

Okay. What? I'm sorry. I know I keep pausing, but do they mean like in the food or do they mean like they have a tasting like a sampler here's a little sampler like a flight they have a flight of oils they have a well like directly in there yeah it's locally sourced amazing um with your truffle fries just a little dip also if you go you can't gain entrance unless you give them your driver's license so they can copy it down. They get less than one star, but you have to give them one to post.

Zero stars. See response. It was not how I perceived anything. It is what happened. They fed up and didn't admit it. If you go, please give me your driver's license number as well. Wait. What?

Did you read that right? I read that right. Please give me your driver's license number as well. Is did you read that right i read that right if you please give me your your driver's license number as well is this a joke what is happening i think they're having a tough time in whiting indiana yeah sorry to swear on the show by the way uh but yeah i think uh cody's not doing too hot oh my gosh i'm worried about cody did they go to this town just for the damn mascot museum? Because it sounds like they're not from there. I can look up Whiting, Indiana, see if there's any other reason to be there.

Well, oil tasting. True, true, true. It's like the bourbon trail, but it's like the oil trail. You just kind of sample it from different spots. I know. 16 miles from the Chicago loop, uh two miles from chicago south side so it's like so it is really like it's not like way out in the middle nowhere no it's uh it's like northwest indiana um population of 5 000 about okay so it was named for herbert l whiting

also known as pop i would i would uh request that you stop saying such a horrible word in my presence um yeah so okay I don't know what else to do with that but thank you Izzy for for that question mark oh this is so fascinating I love finding new I love it new towns and new new weird museums they love fracking this is so random is what i learned there how intriguing we know everything there is to know that's all i need to know um now my next one is of the national bobblehead hall of fame and museum uh this was also sent in by let me double double check, yeah, Madeline. Is this the one where they wouldn't touch them?

Oh, sorry. Did you have this too? No, but somebody else sent it in, I think, and I think I read through it because I remember thinking there was something someone wanted to touch and it was definitely Bob's. Yeah, okay. I tried to get them. I must have missed one. So whoever sent that in, thank you.

Actually, I maybe do have this one somewhere okay but anyway yeah sorry go ahead well it's part of flanfo's adventure too okay cool here's a one star review uh this is by um whitthorn one star not a museum just racks of bobble heads that they don't want you to touch end of review i mean um i don't know what that means but there's an owner response oh right okay i don't remember this or said bobbleheads are fragile and can break if knocked over there aren't many museums where you can touch the exhibits end of review like what do you say you go to the natural history museum you're like it's not a museum it's just a bunch of dinosaur bones i can't touch yeah what do you mean yeah and it's not a zoo it's a bunch of animals i can't

touch and this is this place is even clearer about what they have because they have bobblehead in the name and that's what they have that's what it is that's what they have what just like the women's basketball like if you go there and you don't see any if you see dinosaur bones at the bobblehead museum and no bobbleheads i'd be i'd be with you that's oh i'd be thrilled i'd be miffed i would love to just see random dinosaur bones why not because i went there for bobbleheads why else would i go to milwaukee fracking maybe i don't know i know the oil's better in whiting indiana you're right nothing tops it you've done the the oil trail okay this is from izzy also i just like saw the list they sent and was like i gotta read another one so this is of the pinball hall of fame in las vegas nevada do you have any from there pinball hall of fame i know i didn't

know that was a thing that would be fun i think to go to las vegas makes sense in my head absolutely does not that i know much about pinball. Or Las Vegas. Or Las Vegas. It really does fit. This is a one-star review by Rachel. The owner, Tim, is terrible. I visited with my two daughters. They are 13 and 14.

My 14-year-old pressed a pinball start button with her foot. He screamed. She kicked the machine and aggressively chased us out. I apologized several times kindly and then he said hope she gets hit by a car in the parking lot holy fuck tim dude chill he was absolutely so overreactive and offensive to my child and over something so small he's constantly hovering over top and watching you the entire time very uncomfortably i do not recommend anyone to support this business um i okay obviously not okay oh is there a butt here no i'm just like don't i mean you did say your daughter put her foot on

at the museum and kicked it so like not great but obviously total not okay reaction like that negates all of it yes um and izzy says there were a lot of complaints about this owner so i don't know but uh gosh this just seems like a bad place to go if your kid is the type to kick museum exhibits i mean don't do anything anything bad to someone's like niche interest yeah because it's not gonna go well for you and they've probably spent a long time and energy and money on it yeah they've devoted their life to this sometime in this case it sounds like this man has devoted his life to pinball machines yeah um knows everything and like i don't know has this potentially healthy let's say obsession healthy maybe i don't know he's not

acting very healthy no um but yeah so if yeah if you're putting your feet on things not blaming this kid because whatever it's a kid don't should he shouldn't react that way but yeah don't mess with people in their niche interests that's what we always say so true the back off everybody yeah leave white houses alone yeah i've got one from the american banjo museum and hall of fame this is in uh oklahoma city oklahoma fun so one star review this is by john it banjos end of review finally wait wait wait what was that stars it's one star oh shit never mind i was gonna say finally someone who understands that if it's in the title. I know. But no, this person and the women's basketball and just nobody's content.

And the bobbleheads. Like, I don't know what all these people expect. Yeah. No, I don't. I don't know. Banjos. I don't know. That's sounds like a rave review you would think in my mind

yeah i'm like that sounds like the place for me yeah speaking of the place for you i do have another one oh do you mind if i just read it please since you just said that please go for the american police hall of fame and museum i'm gonna let you continue even though i don't want to you're probably gonna guess wrong but guess what state this is in like instinct what do you think New York no oh that's pretty good I could see that being on like Long Island or something where not that I'm an expert uh Titusville Florida okay well okay no comment here's a two-star review uh it's by gary somewhat disappointing although the displays are great it was a little outdated everything was from 10 plus years ago one

employee was walking around without a shirt on and eventually checked us out at the gift shop wearing a white wife beater gift shop wasn't much either lots of past event shirts and a lot of the souvenirs were cheap generic stuff you may find in a flea market end of review oh my god that was not a museum that was literally some guy in florida's backyard this shirtless man had a bunch of old tchotchkes for sale my goodness people i mean that is like the epitome of florida man working at the police just like this man this shirtless man is just like selling shit at the police hall of fame outdated t-shirts yeah wow i remember i bought some uh souvenirs some tchotchkes in florida and it was just at some random roadside uh stop and they were covered in so much dust because they'd just been sitting there

yeah i bet decades and then the shirt i had i had like a tag and it's in like 1988 and i was like wow this is an actual relic and it just had like an xl with sharks on it and it just been sitting there for decades um that's pretty funny i like that so this is the national road transport hall of fame in sorry that sounds kind of interesting honestly but it's so random it's so random it's in arambara australia this was also sent in by izzy uh and this how do y'all find this shit? I don't know, honestly. It's a two-starbie by Craig. Needs a dose of class and inspiration to lift the experience. Not sure if the operators have the ability and vision. End of review.

Oh my God. And what is that vision? Alexanar, you wouldn't understand. I would love to meet the person who has the classy vision for this. I don't even remember what it's called. The Road Transport Hall of Fame. Yeah, you mean Craig. My goodness. The one with the vision. the person who has the classy vision for this i don't even remember what it's called the road transport hall of fame yeah you mean craig my goodness the one with the vision what does that mean i don't know i don't even know what's there is it just like lorries is that what they call them in australia no what do they call trucks in australia alexander maybe just trucks it's

uninspired is what it is yeah so. So it's a little too bad. It sounds so rude of me. It's rude of me to say, but how does one make this place inspired? Alexandra, I wish you would stop asking me and instead ask Craig. Okay. This is my call to Craig. Craig, please. Craig, enlighten us.

Talk to me here. Are you there, Craig? It's me, Christine. Where are you, Craig? it's me christine where are you craig at the national transport museum um i'm done oh you are yeah okay sorry i'm just sitting here like with my head back well you were like that earlier and then you had more so i was like i'm just gonna let him laugh i know yeah i'm lounging okay so this is uh so Izzy, I'm just back on Izzy's email now. And this is the 10th review they sent in and it says, whoops, another. So this is of the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum in Simi Valley, California.

This is a one-star review by Bert. With a response, by the way. Cool place, but they won't allow scooters at the skate park. When are scooters and skateboarders going to be the same? I just want to feel accepted in the community as a scooter rider. Now there's a response from owner. Really? One star because the skateboarding museum will not allow scooters? Please rethink your one star review.

And now there's an update to the review. Oh my gosh. Update. I wasn't trying to be rude i just think that you should allow other sports besides skateboards many parks have changed and allow bikes blades and scooters and some have certain days for different sports i understand it's a skateboarding museum but people could appreciate skateboards and the museum more by welcoming other sports i'm sorry of if i offended you or anything but your reply was pretty unprofessional and could

have been better handled end of review boohoo boohoo take your scooter to one of the many scooter hall of fames right how many do you need yeah scooch on over yeah if these scooter people are so entitled you know yeah it's like that same it's like ski it's like going to the skiing museum and complaining they don't have a more about snowboarding like what remember that there was we did the ski uh resorts and people it was like they are racist against snowboarders that's not quite how that word works yeah this is this is the dry land version yeah the dry land not the wet land that's the police museum in florida um okay now i have one of national mining hall of fame in leadville colorado uh this is a three-star review by joe with a response

i think flanfo sent this one in too oh really uh-huh i just skipped around because i didn't want to do like all eight but then i'm like now i'm like maybe i should have just done all of them honestly you skipped around and meanwhile i went straight to the email and read every single one oops so this is a by joe three stars nifty learning i wish they sold the chipping hammers there uh and so then there's this one you read and there's a response from owner just wondering if there is some other reason for the low review besides the lack of chipping hammers in our gift shop. And then Joe says, In response to Owner, you should really consider the craft of mining and have books of the subject on shoring and how the mines were built. Gift shop had nothing of interest to me in a learning capacity of the subject.

T-shirts and hats are great, along with some of the little kid toys to appease a small group of your customers if you want better reviews do better managing the memorabilia you sell and everyone right yeah and then having the oh my god make your own fucking like oh the small amount of people who like this stuff like t-shirts and yeah those losers meanwhile your main community are these people who need or me a mining aficionado mining i mean come on honestly like open your own mining museum joe i went to the uh board game store today and asked about books on board gaming like if they had like any books and he was like well uh the supply like you get it from you get it from publishers rather than like the actual board game supply place he said the board game suppliers that we use the distributors sorry the distributors don't um send out books but they send board games so like it's harder for them and they would have

to go through like publishers but then just for board game so yeah anyway so he was saying that's why they don't have any so when you said this and this guy's like oh not enough books not enough whatever like i don't know there's process there's there's so much behind it that people probably don't think about i didn't think about that what's the chipping hammer pipeline like because i feel like that they sold those at the board game store oh they did okay because they have their own supplier i imagine yeah yeah yeah oh my god like the response was like wait so is this literally just because we didn't sell you a fucking hammer in the gift shop like really we're gonna sell you okay unfortunately it opened them up to more criticism i know if they hadn't responded they wouldn't have gotten even more criticism but i

don't know i don't blame them for being like uh what same with that skateboard place being like uh are you serious like please clarify that this is actually what i think it is like are you as much of a loser as as you pretend to be like you're just hating on me because you ride a scooter instead of a skateboard um so i got a lot of emails about the cowboy hall of fame which oh i don't know if you know about this but i really like cowboys i have like a weird thing about cow not like in a gross way just in like i i've seen those romance novels no that is not what i mean what i mean is i love cowboy ghosts, I haven't seen those romance novels yet. That's because I'm writing them.

No, but I don't know why. I've just always like, I just love cowboys. I don't know. I just think it's a cool concept. I don't listen. I don't know how else to explain it. But so a couple of people wrote in and said, this is a Cowboy Hall of Fame review for Christine. And so we got a lot of emails about that.

This is one that Kayla sent in, she here, and it's a three-star review by Robert. The museum was great, except for the sales ladies in the store. Me and my wife had on Harley shirts, so they walked right by us to wait on fancier dressed people. End of review. The fancier people that are wearing polos tucked into their jeans or something.

At the Cowboy Hall of Fame. Just like, ooh la la. Like, what? These city slickers coming into the Cowboy Hall of Fame and getting all the service. What kind of service even is there at the Cowboy Hall of Fame? Well, he wouldn't know. True.

You know, he got dissed. Oh, true. Okay, we got to get. Remember when we got dressed up for that meal in Tulsa? Was it in Tulsa? Yeah. We were like, oh, this was on Diners, Drivers, and Dives. This has like all these TV shows about it.

We shouldn't wear leggings in there. I was like, I'll put on some nice pants. We changed in the car. We changed in the car in the parking lot so that we weren't, so we were more presentable because we were driving long distance from California to Ohio. And we were like, we want to look presentable for this meal. Thinking it was like the best meal we're going to have, like the nicest one instead of like fast food the whole way.

nicest one um instead of like fast food the whole way and yeah we walk in and there's a woman in uh mini mouse pajama pants and we were like oh now we're the weirdos yeah way over we're the city slickers and remember when she asked if we wanted rolls yep and we got saltine crackers she says you want a basket of rolls we said yes please she's like here here it is saltine crackers. She says, you want a basket of rolls? We said, yes, please. She's like, here it is. Saltine crackers. That's still a mystery to me. I think about that a lot, actually. It's still a mystery to me. And I know we've talked about that on the show when we did our, I forget what episode it was.

But we definitely told that story a long time ago. But I do think about it quite a lot. Like, if that was a prank, it has been on our minds this whole time. Like, it did its job. Like, the joke is doing its work. Yeah. I mean, she probably looked at us like they're out from out of town. Like, let's mess with them.

In like a weird, subtle way that like will linger in their memory for years. Yeah, it worked. And that was in Oklahoma City, I think. I thought it was Tulsa. Oh, maybe it was Tulsa. I don't know. It doesn't matter. Whatever.

But yeah, I think aboutsa. I thought it was Tulsa. Oh, maybe it was Tulsa. I don't know. It doesn't matter. Whatever. But yeah, I think about that a lot. Anyway, I wish I'd worn my Harley shirt like I intended to originally. Maybe then we would have gotten a role. Okay, this is from Justine Sheherz of the World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame. Where is that? Wait, I want to guess. Okay. Okay, somewhere windy. Oh, oh wait i know where it is

yeah it is somewhere um chicago um i'm guessing like one of the carolinas no it's in long beach washington oh i remember because i read long beach i think it was california but it's actually washington state so fun fact i imagine that's windy up there they have a lot of rain i feel like there's probably wind whatever okay why are you laughing i don't know i love how you're like they probably have wind like yeah i hope so okay whatever this is the one star view by rich Richard. September 21st, 2021. Okay, folks, here we go. This morning, my cousin and I are visiting Long Beach. We live in California and Missouri. At 1100 hours, we went to visit the Kite Museum because that was when they were supposed to open.

The open sign was not on, but the front door was open, so we went inside. No lights were on, so we stood just inside the front door in the gift shop. By then, it was after 11, and we thought an employee would arrive. But that didn't happen, but the burglar alarm went off and began screeching and lights were flashing. After a few minutes and still no employee came around, we decided it would be best to return to our vehicle in case the police arrived. After about 10 minutes, a Long Beach officer arrived and we told him what happened. He checked the open door but never went inside. He then got in his patrol vehicle and fastened his seatbelt.

I don't know why that makes me laugh. And he rolled the window down and said, we're in for a bumpy ride. Like, what? Like, what? What is the seatbelt part? I don't know, but it's just bizarre. He then got in his patrol vehicle and fastened his seatbelt. Then he got out of his vehicle

and came over and asked my cousin for his name and phone number and left so we left by then it was about 11 30 there was still no sign of life at the kite museum so we left sorry city of long beach but we're not giving your museum many stars today maybe some other time what a story what a tale man what a tale i wonder if something went wrong i mean you know you see those reviews where someone's like complaining about service and they're like uh yeah one of our employees like had a heart attack right and then so like i don't know i feel like i'd give them the benefit of the doubt that like maybe something was up that day like small business they probably were intending to open, you know.

It's a fucking kite museum. It's a kite museum. It's not like a Walmart. Like, they're not, you know. Wait, Kite Hall of Fame. Sorry. Kite Hall of Fame. Even better.

What does that mean? Alex and her, I wish I could tell you, but again, we will never find out. Like now, I mean, in hindsight, like I'm thinking, I'm reminiscing about this episode we're doing right now. And I'm thinking, wow. It was good times. So many of these places. What what would what why is there a Hall of Fame? Yeah. You know, because you think Hall of Fame is like the greats, like the like the top of the top king of pop, Michael Jackson, like Hall of Fame.

But then with a kite museum, you're like, is there, is it competition winners? Like, is it the best kite to ever exist? Yeah, like the Hall of Fame kite makers maybe? Yeah. I mean, same with mascots. Like, is it like, oh, this is the best high school mascot in the state? Or is it just like best looking costumes? Or is it worst?

Because I saw those photos. True. Well, no, those weren't accepted. That's true that they have a higher standard than that. Yeah, that's true. A scary bird. Yeah, this is like NASCAR makes sense because it's, you know, a sport. Yeah.

Yeah. I think music, like things where people are and more competitive yeah yes exactly kites i mean what do i know you know maybe maybe i just don't don't know enough about kites maybe we should just go there i guess we should um so now i only have redemptions there's two uh this was sent in they were both sent in by our belgian friend tina who said in the email that i pronounced uh their name correctly and i was very pleased by that um thank you i got so many compliments on how i pronounced that one place roskilde whatever oh yeah roskilde or whatever something see i can't do it anymore but hey hey hey hey people complimented me so they're all taking it back now yeah shit sorry the only reason i had to tell everyone is because that's never happened before

complimented my pronunciation same i was like tina was like no one ever pronounces it right from america and i was like listen it's the german in us so sometimes get us places not very far but places so these are two reviews of the International Clown Hall of Fame in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Famously another competitive field. Another extremely competitive market. The first one is a five-star review by local guide Eric. Outside of the office of the governor in the state capitol in Madison, you won't see bigger clowns. End of review.

While that started, I was like, I know where this is going i don't get it what calling the politicians clowns oh my god right yep i didn't get it i was just like oh they won't see bigger clowns you're the biggest they just i just saw a bigger clown i just transformed in front of your very eyes to the biggest clown. I get it. Outside of the office of the governor in the state capital of Madison, you won't see bigger clowns. Okay, I get it. What is wrong with me? I don't know, Christina.

Why did I think it was so funny and I didn't even get it? Yeah, I'm like, what? Christina, this is embarrassing. Christina, because your brain was like, this will entertain people. I guess I just knew it was funny even though i didn't get it and then there's one more uh this is a five star review by bomb giggity don't i don't know giggles galore until you can't breathe end of review oh now that is cursed yeah that's that should be a one star review that seems dangerous so anyway that's all i have

sorry i added like 10 from izzy giggles galore until you can't breathe i'm not done with that one now that is what i wanted a t-shirt clown me international clown museum giggles galore until you can't breathe that's a horror shirt in the making that seems like the slogan of a horror movie yeah giggles galore until you can't breathe. Yikes. Also, I don't feel like a clown museum isn't, like, funny. You know what I mean? Like, I know they're supposed to be entertaining, but I don't think I would be, like, cracking up at the sight of a bunch of clowns.

Even if I enjoyed clowns. Look, yeah, I was going to say, though, I don't really enjoy clowns, so I don't think I'm the right person to say. Like, I don't know. There are people who legitimately just enjoy clowns so i don't think i'm the right person to say like i don't know there are people who legitimately just enjoy clowns i know but i don't think like if you were that person that you would laugh so hard because they're so funny right like it's why not they love clowns well you i feel like just because you love them doesn't mean nobody's laughing at this episode but we are you know it's true wow that hurts um anyway yeah so do you want to explain what happened um yeah speaking of being clowns um hang on let me hand over my red nose yeah it's mine now y'all i keep my brain has not been working i'm gonna blame the zoloft I started taking a couple weeks ago this kick him it's kicking ass

in my world but um yeah I uh it's been it's been a foggy weird mess it's getting better though I'm on the up and up uh medication is good for me uh right now but um but yeah I've completely forgot that I had the challenge yeah so, my Zoloft worked great and I actually prepared multiple episodes in advance for the first time in history. I didn't do shit. Which is amazing because I never have done that before. So basically, I'm just going to take my challenge from next week and trade them and then Alexander can do the challenge for next week. I'll go two in a row and then we'll get back on track. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

challenge for next week i'll go two in a row and then we'll get back on track yeah yeah yeah so my challenge was uh to find reviews of a restaurant where someone sees a picture of someone they know on the wall oh yes okay good i need this today so excellent well i have some something for you uxiner this i don't think this could have worked out better i just realized oh really the first review i have is of the international clown hall of fame no it's not i'm not fucking around i forgot about this yeah we lit that's amazing and it's from christine they her who was like in the subject like this fits both a theme and a challenge but i was like oh it's too bad it's not in the that's wild that's wild weird right so this is a facebook review by nancy who recommends the international clown hall of fame and research

center the review says my great-great-uncle slivers picture was on the wall once at the clown hall of fame slivers yeah slivers the clown It's too close to livers. It's also too close to like shivers. Slithers the clown. Oh, God. It's getting dark. Oh, Slithers the clown. Giggles galore until you can't breathe. But yeah, I just love it.

And it's like, you know, an elderly woman in the photo. And she's like, oh, my great uncle. So that's super weird. I'd forgotten that was the first one i don't think you could have done this better really the timing um so let's see this is a review of the lost restaurant oh no no it's not this is a post by lost restaurants of tulsa which is a Facebook group that posts like... Also relevant to today's episode.

Is it? We talked about Tulsa and the steakhouse, the restaurant. This is creepy. What's happening? Weird. Okay. Well, I don't know. Maybe you knew what you were doing.

I promise you I did not. Okay. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here. you i did not okay i'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here so this was a post um in june of 2018 and it says the louis louisiane was a big sponsor of the downtowner a weekly magazine that promoted all kinds of businesses in tulsa's central business district each cover featured a local cover girl whose portrait also graced a wall inside the restaurant and there's like an old newspaper clipping. Can you see this? Since you're an aficionado of old newspapers.

I am. So this is an ad for the Louisiana Seafood Restaurant. And the ad says, visit our Cover Girl Grill. Over 150 Tulsa beauties in life size. Hand colored portraits. Nothing to compare anywhere. Okay. If that's the kind of thing you're looking for for don't go to the steakhouse we went to yeah it sounds like my kind of place because we

just had people in pajamas um so here are some comments not quite reviews but you know i figured they'd work the first is by prue we all loved all loved it. Wonderful food, great decor, and charming hosts. My picture was on the wall. But it never was on the Downtowner. That's the magazine. My aunt, the designer, Martha Stone, had her office just down the street on Boston, so we often lunched there. Cute. I love it.

This is a review by Jane, or a comment by Jane. This is not relevant to anything but i liked it eight they're my one and only time on prom night i had the surf and turf that's so funny i i do love it when people on facebook like some in in cases like this i love when they feel the need to comment. Just share things. Like, share any remote connection they have with a post. It just made me really happy.

Yeah, it makes me happy, too. Well, Lonnie, I might as well tell you while we're at it that Lonnie commented, where I first tasted shrimp stejong, which I guess is a type of shrimp. So, while we're talking about, you know, learning things about people that really nobody really needs to know that specific memories can be. I know that's so true. Like, it's funny. But at the same time, I bet there's so many places like that in my life where I'd be like, yeah, that was a place where this happened. We say dumb shit all the time. Like, oh, my God.

Remember, I got that weird breakfast dish. Like, we say stupid shit like this all the time and people my god remember i got that weird breakfast dish like we say stupid shit like this all the time and people listen to it can we go alexander we say weird shit all the time remember i got that weird breakfast dish where did that come from do you want to know i nervous. Oh, the businessman's breakfast? I know for a fact we have talked about a local restaurant and we said, remember, you would order the businessman's breakfast at the Echo in Hyde Park. I don't go back. And anyway, I just thought like we talk about dishes we've ordered.

I was like, where did that come from? Oh, my God god it came from my mouth originally and i know you've said that on this show so i wanted to okay i take it all back i'm sorry okay well now we're going to brooklyn new york to the buffalo cantina uh and this is a review by tim this is probably my favorite one don't read this review if you don't enjoy getting angry wait that's a double name so do read this review if you do enjoy getting angry okay wait don't read this oh my christina i can't my brain i do not have enough brain power i think what he's saying is don't read this unless you

enjoy getting angry because you're gonna get angry okay can you repeat his of course don't read this review if you don't enjoy getting angry so only read it if you do get enjoy if you do am i just i'm getting angry okay don't read this review if you don't if you don't like getting angry yeah wait don't read this review so if i don't like getting angry yeah i should not read what okay that makes sense but for some reason my head could not wrap. This Soloft is really doing a number on it. See, that doesn't even make sense. I can't... Okay, I'm angry at myself, so...

Well, the next line is, you've been warned. Whether or not you understand it, you have been warned. A while back, before they filmed Man vs. Food there, Buffalo Cantina had a seppuku wing challenge where you had to eat six seppuku wings in six minutes. Sounds easy enough right so a friend of mine and i go and give it a shot we ask for the challenge and are told that it has been changed to 12 wings in six minutes okay we'll still do it i get through six wings

and then my eyes swelled shut so i had to stop oh my god i'm sorry holy shit i get through six wings and then my eyes swelled shut so i had to stop but my friend actually finished all 12 in three minutes they gave him his wings for free and i had to pay still okay the weird part was that they refused to take his picture to put it on the wall of winners after some arguing we decided that it would be better to get a blind drunk somewhere else than stand there bickering about a picture on some crummy wall. Cut to a week later. Man vs. Food is being filmed, and Adam Richman is doing the same challenge. But not exactly.

They only make him eat six wings. And worse than that, they only made him eat the suicide wings, which are not nearly as hot as the seppuku wings. That was when we were told that they made the challenge harder for us and wouldn't put my friend's picture on the wall so that it would look like no one ever beat the challenge understandably we became enraged and caused a scene during filming holy fuck this is when i went there. Oh, no. I did not gather that. Because he also said like we were.

I thought this was like watching it. Same. A year later or whatever. Me too. And the fact that he said we were then told that they made the challenge harder so no one. So they actually told you that? Somebody told you that. Someone admitted to that while they were filming this?

While they were filming. I need to see this episode. It's what I see yeah we should find this episode understandably we became enraged and caused a scene during filming and were swiftly escort understandably though understandably so understandable and were swiftly escorted out by some large gentlemen who looked like they knew how to handle themselves so buffalo cantina gets one star for being a bunch of corporate stooges with mediocre food adam richmond gets zero stars for being a fraud and are you gasp the fact that they were at filming and caused a scene to be like i completely my friend did this challenge that is that this i feel like this

review just has this is everything. This is wild. Drama. Wow. Allergic reaction to hot sauce. A famous person. A celebrity. Wow.

Eyes swollen shut. Bodyguards. When you first said that they wouldn't put that guy's picture on the wall, I was like, maybe his eyes swelled shut after 12 wings. And they were like, this is unappetizing. Yeah, we can't have this. That's wild. I mean, like, if that's true, I've Iappetizing. That's wild. I mean, like, if that's true, I'm not too happy about this either. Also, this guy like telling on himself all the time, like we were arguing and arguing.

We decided to go get blind drunk somewhere else. Then we caused a giant scene during the filming of a TV show. I mean, holy shit. He is like admitting all of this. I don't know. I read this and was like what a tale like what a story that would be incredibly annoying but again it's like someone someone puts their foot on your pinball machine don't don't cause a scene don't cause a scene stop causing a scene you want to de-escalate things come on de-escalate de-escalate um now this one i was searching like uh keywords

on google of like friend on the wall whatever and um of course as a trip advisor i see a trip advisor post and um all i see is the the preview of the text and it says photo our friend on the wall i was like oh excellent here's there's a photo of their friend on the wall and i opened it of their friend on the wall and i opened it it's a cockroach fucking cockroach like it's our friend on the wall and i was like oh shit okay it's not quite what i expected so not exactly what you know remember that time you spit all over a wall oh my god i don't even remember what i said no i think like we talked about this on the show too but either you or blaze said something yeah that for whatever reason made me laugh that was me i know but i don't remember what it was blaze says it was him what no way and i think the reason i

believed blaze is because like no offense but he doesn't usually make me laugh so hard i spit out my drink like he's funny but it's not like maybe i think it took me but so by surprise but i mean a very odds are it was you but well whatever you spit coffee all over the wall but like and it had like cream in it like creamer in it disgusting i just like and i'm not talking like oh it like spray like i literally spit a giant gulp of coffee. It was so gross. We have photos of it. It was so gross.

And it was all over the wall of this like little hotel and they had like wallpaper in the breakfast room and I just spit all over the wallpaper. Yeah, I spit all over my businessman's breakfast. So embarrassing. Anyway, sorry. That was your friend on the wall. That's why I thought of that. That's so gross. I tried to wipe it off and it was, oh my God, it was so disgusting.

If that's ever a crime scene, you're in big trouble. I, my DNA. Okay. Yuck. Okay. My DNA is all over that wall is what she was about to say. That's precisely what I was about to say. Thank you for completing the sentence for me.

Now, this is a place called happy ending cantina in cabo san lucas um did you just search for cantinas like it's just no was the other one a buffalo can oh yeah you're right maybe they just have people on the walls at these places i don't know and the uh title of this review this is my last one is very happy ending this is i'm sorry i'm nervous and this actually doesn't really fit the challenge but okay it came up they did that cockroach i know technically i know so these are just my last ones that i thought were funny my buddy and i went in to get uh oh they have the word a in quotes my buddy and i went in to get a, oh, they have the word a in quotes. My buddy and I went in to get a $2 beer while our wives were shopping.

We ended up having lunch with our wives and staying over three hours. Great food and good fun. We got our names on the wall and had a blast. We will tell all of our friends to pay happy ending a visit when they visit Cabo. Wish we had a place like that where we live. And here's the photo of where they got their names on the wall. What is happening there? There's like a sexy lady on the wall behind these guys. Why is one's not wearing a shirt?

Why is the man from the NASCAR? Sorry, from the police museum there. Yeah. They're like, he's wearing like Bermuda shorts and like, uh, no shirt.

They have like wristbands on. Like they're clearly tourists in Mexico. And they're like standing in front of this half naked lady on the wall and somehow got their names up there as part of the deal. Is that allowed? Probably not. I don't know. So anyway, it just cracked me up because I was searching for like, you know, friend on wall or photo on wall. And I got a name on wall.

Hey, that was pretty close. I would count. I'd still count that. Oh, thank you. I mean, it's not Slivers. It's not great. Great Uncle Slivers. But, you know, who is right?

Just one person. I hope. Fingers crossed. I also love that Prue was on the wall of the louisiana that was my other there was some cute one this was great this is obviously the one of this challenge of man versus food was he was not on the wall his friend was not on the wall yeah yeah yeah but you know you got a little bit of everything it deserved it no i think that's perfect story yeah we got we touched all the bases he's on the wall in my heart the aortic wall gross that's where all those wings went

right to the aortic wall oh good stuff anyway for stepping up oh no worries i'm so glad that i for once was productive and actually did a challenge ahead i've i don't i don't know that i've ever done two episodes ahead so it's impressive. I have recently. You definitely have. Well, and then I fucked up and did the wrong one. You did too many ahead. I did two ahead, but I skipped one. Not the one next, yeah. Okay.

I am all over the place. Maybe my meds will do their job soon. Yeah. I mean, mine are doing great for now, so hopefully that keeps continuing for me. Fingers crossed. Yeah. We'll see what happens. But yeah, so I guess next week then your challenge, do you remember it?

Because I have it. I have no idea. Okay. Your challenge was... I think you told me like 30 minutes ago and I forget. Did I? Maybe I did. Hang on, let me pull it back up.

You didn't in the episode, I think, on the side. I asked because I was like, is it my challenge? It was from Emma. Reviews where the reviewer includes their own rating system. Oh, yeah. Like more bombs are better. Like more bombs are better. Right.

And I was saying you could go find that guy and just see. I literally said that the other day. More bombs are better? Yeah. To whom? I think to myself. Oh, good. Because I was going to say.

So my brain was trying. Somebody probably called the authorities if you said that in public but okay oh boy do you want to give a challenge and stuff sure our theme for next episode is hard rock cafes oh boy i'm so happy yeah i'm excited i didn't even think about it i did i was like oh i'm gonna be even extra lazy today and just do the one we came up with in the episode. No, we need it. I'm so excited for that. Especially because the one before that I think is Benihana. So we're going to have quite a dining experience.

Oh, that's exciting. So the next one. So your challenge for that episode comes from Catherine Sheher, who says, As someone born and raised in texas i can understand why they called it devil's pocket if it is infested with water moccasins this is an old ghost town episode i think um like what what are we talking about podcast i think um so anyway it says that water moccasins are scary and uh texans are born to fear them from the moment they're born so her challenge is to find reviews of other places where the reviewer states that it is hell

not because they necessarily had a bad time but because the location or something about it makes it hellish yep so uh yeah so we'll see what happens there um and that's that and then the theme for the following week is also me being lazy, but I really wanted to make this a theme, which is coffee shops in Amsterdam and coffee shops, quote unquote. Because there were so many I was like, this would be fun to just look at in general. I'm excited. So quote unquote coffee shops in Amsterdam. Okay, awesome. That's going to be good.

Your challenge comes from Vame Amsterdam. Okay, awesome. That's going to be good. Your challenge comes from they, they me. Oh! Jamie, they, she, he. Wait, so that's fun. They me. That was, yeah, that was my brain that did that. Not Jamie. I like that, though.

If that's a nickname that you'll accept. Jamie likes it, too, before you start using it too much. I know, they're going to be like, I didn't ask for this. Sorry. They me. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Got ahead of myself so um jamie suggests this challenge find reviews that mention that the reviewer bought a product or visited a place specifically because they read another bad review so they read a negative review and they mentioned they saw a negative review and

decided to go there so um they brought up that uh it could be just someone hating something that someone likes so that would make them like oh this person hated this about it well that's what i'd like that's what i was looking i was looking for more information about women's basketball i was looking for bobble heads that I can't touch. Yeah. And dinosaur bones. And then you get another one where an establishment is being review bombed, like on the Internet, like people are leaving negative reviews.

And so they want to like support the business. This is terrible when that happens. What? I don't like when that happens. Well, it depends on the context. I mean, depending on the context, of course, of course. But yeah. And then, but there's a, of course, of course. But yeah. And then but there's a story here.

It was inspired by the time. This is what Jamie says. It was inspired by the time when I was interested in buying Lush's Snow Fairy scent. Saw multiple one star reviews complaining that it smells like children's amoxicillin, which is the sickeningly sweet pink antibiotic. These reviews were so specific and better descriptions of the scent than the actual description so i immediately bought the full line these reviews were absolutely accurate but their loss was my gain i ended up loving it and buy more when it's in season every winter so were they like did they read did jamie read that and go like oh i love the smell of

amoxicillin or was it like it seems kind of like but it seemed like it didn't bother them at least yeah yeah it wasn't at least it wasn't like a i think it seemed as if it like inspired curiosity i see okay interesting because i definitely have seen that where people are like it smells too floral or something and i'm like okay sounds good to me yeah probably true like on fragrantica the yeah like perfumes and stuff Like when I said it smells like bleach in a bathroom, I'm like, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Yeah. My perfume, thank you. Exactly. Awesome.
