Starting point is 00:13:26 new in America. I'm pretty sure they're really popular in Australia, though. I've heard a lot from Australians about video game bars. I don't know about in America, though. I'm pretty sure they only pop up in the big cities and even then it's

Starting point is 00:13:41 just one per big city or so. Okay. But maybe i'm completely wrong and a total jackass hopefully you're at least one of those go ahead oh boy coin flip yeah and then he he just says like you the like you said stuff and we're gonna because after i sent him the thing he's like i'm sorry that the bartender we fired. And then he just italics we fired. And I'm like, oh, my God. That's when I was like, oh, my God.

Starting point is 00:14:47 he just Why? What? What? Oh my god. This is a train wreck. This is the worst episode of the podcast. Absolutely not. I think we should scrap this.

Starting point is 00:16:06 the moment we read the review. Oh my God. This episode... That's absurd. This episode needs to be titled The Power of a Facebook Yelp Review. Or not that. Just call it Felt.

Starting point is 00:16:19 That is the worst fucking title of all time. Kyle may have come up with ideas. Kyle is never allowed to name episodes. Wait. title of all time Kyle was never allowed to name episodes uh wait and he also mentions like oh it's not the first time and it's not the first time he smoked weed during his

Starting point is 00:16:36 shifts and people already complained about it and it's like unacceptable what he did and then he says but don't worry he will never work in the bar industry again i have talked to every bar owner i know you and i'm like his life i'm just like what the fuck is his deal dude this guy's a fucking maniac this guy's there for blood and then he's he's like he fucking he says for and for our part we would never ask you to remove

Starting point is 00:17:17 your your critique and i'm like you did do that you fucking did just scroll up you fucking idiot and then like he just says a bunch of shit about like we accept criticism and shit and i just posted him what he wrote earlier where it was just like yeah um could you remove or modify this but wasn't that the investor and this is the ceo yeah now this is the ceo I don't care. So it wasn't him who said it. Investor, CEO, whatever. Whatever. They all use the same fucking page. They all use the fucking business page to contact me.

Starting point is 00:17:54 Oh, did they? This was all the same message chain? I just sent him the fucking thing about, like, your investor didn't, like, said the contrary. Just scroll up. And then he's like he's like next time you come call in

But and I just want to know that we really don't have like beef.

Starting point is 00:22:12 Oh no! And then I got a message. Every month I had a message from the fucking Nexus smart bar on Facebook. Like a Facebook message where one of the guys was like hey uh we're we're actually doing better now um we would really like you to come and then they pretty much every month they would just say like come back to the bar we're gonna fucking drop the bar because they're not why did your bar drop oh guess what oh right oh god i forgot how you you brought up this story and uh basically every month they would keep fucking they would keep like

Starting point is 00:22:55 being like hey come back to the bar it's really cool now see we have a bunch of five-star reviews and we would like yours to be a five star review please also oh my god and then i'm just i'm just wait every time i was like sorry i just googled the nexus smart bar sorry to the derail i think i found the the stoner dude are you serious i don't know, it's probably not, but like...

Starting point is 00:24:27 And I just, I kind of stopped thinking about it. And I learned like a month ago because one of my friends just text me like, dude, the smart bar is dead. And I'm like, what? And basically what happened, they had left a note for you they had a fucking case of water damage and they had so many because apparently my um my review was so bad that they that they had like

Starting point is 00:26:11 really calm down because you might ruin several lives yeah you might ruin yeah an entire establishment it's their fault but i guess on some way they handed you the gun and you listen david if there are a lot of five star reviews maybe you should have gone back
