Hello, everybody, and welcome back to your stupid opinions.
Hey!
Thank you so much for joining us today on another fun, fun episode of hearing about things we don't want to know about from people we don't care about.
It's amazing, and it's so much fun, and it's really our favorite thing to do.
My name is James Petrigallo. I'm here with my co-host.
I'm Jimmy Wiseman.
We appreciate you joining us for more of this insanity.
week.
I'm definitely going to get to some fun stuff.
We're going to see a couple of landmarks.
We're going to go swimming.
We're going to go play some arcade games.
We're going to deal with some crooked claw machines this week as motherfuckers.
Sons of bitches in the crooked claw machines.
Like there's ever...
Like there's ever been like a straight up claw machine that's...
This one's really...
It's not scam at all.
Have you ever put 50 cents in and pull the bear every time?
Never.
No.
No.
You can land it right on it.
Those claws aren't strong enough.
It opens right up.
What the fuck?
One thing I have to say, oh, first of all, shut up and give me murder.com is where you get everything.
That's merchandise, everything from skateboards to coffee cups you can get there.
Tickets for small town murder live shows, all the information you want.
I just wanted to address something that I found very funny.
We get a lot of messages.
It's really weird because, you know, most of them are positive and all.
The ones that are negative, that's fine.
I don't know anything you want.
We don't care.
but the ones that are real weird
are the ones that
they're like, why do you take
why do you guys take like
the reviewer's side
or why do you guys take the side of the like the restaurant
when someone's saying this
and they're like they think that we have like
a moral horse in this race
and we don't give a shit
who's right or we couldn't care less.
I just want a legitimate
and logistical
through line and if it
if it doesn't make sense
you got to say it.
Tell me a story.
That's it.
I'm willing to listen.
But yeah, we don't care if the business is right or the reviewers right.
We're looking for jokes and comedy.
Whoever is the funniest thing to make fun of is who we're making fun of.
We don't care.
There's no morality to this show whatsoever.
It's just fun.
That's why we love it so much.
We have murder shows where we have to like deal with murder and like feelings of families and things like that.
This is just, I don't give a shit that the McDonald's and Lankton.
Castor Pennsylvania's bathroom is dirty.
I don't care.
And I don't know if it is or not, to be honest with you.
So I'm just going to make fun of whoever's talking about it.
Who gives a shit?
It's fun.
So that's the point of the show.
Let's have some fun.
That's all.
It's a Monday morning thing.
Let's all enjoy.
So that said, let's get into this.
Here we.
And now that you see the intended spirit of the show.
Yeah, we just don't care.
It had to be explained, but, you know, that happens.
But we're just, we're comics and we find shit funny.
We just want to, this is just two comments.
Having a good time with each other, making fun of anybody we can.
Like, me for the dumb shit.
That's it.
So let's head here to the Sunsphere.
What is that?
Okay, the Sunsphere is an iconic tower from the 1982 World's Fair, featuring a free observation deck with 360-degree views.
It's in Knoxville, Tennessee.
That's where the World's Fair.
Oh, it was probably from, moved there?
80, no, it was 82.
The World's Fair is really, after the 60s, nobody gave a shit about World's Fairs anymore.
They stopped being in, like, Paris and New York, and they were like, what about Knoxville?
They'll do it, right?
How about that?
They need shit going on down there.
Tennessee's Paris.
Yeah, the Paris of Tennessee, Knoxville, as we all know it as.
Yeah.
The World's Fair used to be like an unveiling of, like, of something amazing.
Yeah.
A TV in 1939, I believe.
That was like the big unveiling of TV for the world.
And the microwave?
Lots of different inventions came that from the World's Fair.
And it was also just like, you know, you'd see like another country's food.
They'd have exhibits of their food.
And like, you know, that's how I think, you know, a lot of foods got introduced to.
But nothing gets invented anymore.
No, no, no, no.
We're done inventing things.
We're just improving on things and making things faster now.
We've decided that inventions are costly and take too long.
So just improve shit that's already here and make some money.
Yeah.
Inventions cause cancer and then you get sued.
Don't invent anything anymore.
You get sued a lot.
Yeah.
Now, there's no more Philo Farnsworths, you know, making glass tubes in his fucking, in his barn so he can invent a TV.
That's not how this shit goes anymore.
So, you know.
We've invented phones, and then we made them small because that would have been so fun.
And then they found out you can jerk off on it.
And now they gradually made it fucking enormous.
Now it's an iPad that goes, we're going to.
have to like make
different.
Try to fit this in your
fucking pocket.
That's the other thing.
We're going to have to
switch pants up
from now on.
Have pants grown?
I'd like to know the
difference in like a back pocket
from like 1994
to now.
It's a back pocket.
Well,
now they're stretching.
To accommodate the phone.
Yeah, that's true.
Now people have stupid stretchy pants
too.
We just had giant pants
in 1994 that you could really.
Jencos are getting popular again.
If you couldn't fit it
in your back pocket,
you could fit it somewhere
in that pair of pants.
Yeah,
now you got a Jenko's jeans again
and you can fit.
your beat off phone right there in your enormous pocket that held 40 ounce beers.
Yep.
Yeah.
No, it's not.
Nobody's inventing a goddamn thing anymore.
No.
It's not.
Well, even like the people who, you know, you go, oh, like, you know, Microsoft and this and that.
They didn't invent computers.
They just figured out how to sell them to people.
That's all they did.
They didn't invent anything.
That's what I mean.
None of these, none of these people invented shit.
They make an operating system that makes it smoother and easier.
That's it.
Look at all the richest people.
None of them are like invented anything or came up.
None of them are anything.
And it's gone back too because even like Henry Ford didn't invent shit.
He just said, no, if we lined everybody up.
He didn't invent the car.
What if we put the car in an easier way to assemble?
Yeah, it's just logistics, making logistics better.
That's what we do now.
This is at 810 Clinch Avenue in Knoxville, and it's a floor one of World's Fair Park.
And this is one of those things.
It's just, it's, here I'll show it to you.
Here, it's just a, it's.
It's a tower?
A tower with a ball on top, with like an orange ball on top.
Oh.
That's all it looks like.
Oh, it looks like a weird water tower.
Yeah, it's kind of ugly.
Yeah.
It's not like the one in Queens for that world's fair, the big world, the big globe thing they have there.
You know what I'm saying?
The big giant.
I don't know it.
You don't know the bit.
You've driven past it like a hundred times on the way to the airport.
Probably didn't even.
I was probably on my phone.
It's a giant.
It's a giant metal globe in the middle of queen.
Really?
In Queens?
Yeah, it's right next to Shea Stadium and now it's near the new stadium.
It's literally, you can't miss it on the way to the fucking airport.
You cannot miss it.
Is it called the Queens Globe?
I don't know what the hell it's called.
Oh, it's called the Unisphere.
Oh, I have seen that.
Yeah, I'm like, there's no way you haven't seen this.
It's a very famous thing.
I'm like, there's no way.
All right.
So that's there.
That's kind of neat.
but this doesn't look quite as impressive.
Does this have the, is this a globe on top or is it just an orange ball?
It's just an orange globe with like windows on top.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, the sun's fear.
So, here we go.
Here's Ellen with five stars.
Okay.
Such a cool, unique piece of U.S. and Tennessee history.
We stopped through to show it to our son on the way home from a road trip and he's six years old and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Well, if a six-year-old endorsed.
It was the coolest thing ever.
He's seen everything.
I have six-year-olds, James.
That's the thing.
We have a lot of shit in comments.
Right.
Well, he's seen it all, the six-year-old.
So he's like, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Apart from reading level, I don't know shit that that kid likes.
Nope, not a goddamn thing.
They let you go up to the observation deck, but they charge you now.
They didn't use to charge.
But it's still a neat visit.
I believe it was $10 for adults and $5 for children.
There's a small gift shop in the main level with information and history on the
1982 World's Fair and construction of the Sunsphere.
A few references to the Simpsons episode where Bart and Friends visited a long-running
joke.
That's right.
I forgot about that.
That's where this is familiar from.
Yes, they were going to Knoxville.
It was a, they all took the car and went.
Nelson was involved.
Yeah.
And Millhouse was involved.
Nelson was there too?
I believe for some reason Nelson was in the car.
That's what I'm seeing.
It was one of those episodes where Bart was friends with Nelson.
You know, every once in a while, him and Nelson line up for some reason on the same side of something.
That's how it goes.
A few references there.
Awesome 360 views of the city and portions of UT's campus, because Tennessee is in Knoxville, University of Tennessee.
And Nyland Stadium, which very close to the park.
They must visit if you're in Knoxville or just passing through.
Is this where the volunteers are at in Knoxville?
Yeah, Tennessee.
It's in Knoxville, yeah.
And they show the view here, and it's, I mean, there's not a lot.
There's no more than like a two-story building in Knoxville.
So what you're looking at is mainly just trees and highways.
There's really not a lot to look at.
It's not like, oh, I can finally see up here.
Yeah.
Look at a whiskey country.
Yeah.
You're just seeing, oh, look, there's an apartment complex.
Like, I'm looking at this window.
I see an apartment complex.
A bunch of highway interchanges.
Yeah.
It looks like maybe a church over there.
There's really not a lot to see from up here.
Oh, here's the other side where there's another highway.
Oh, look.
And a four-story office building.
But hey, look at that.
Four stories. God damn.
Very exciting.
Building upwards of 50 feet high.
Upwards of 60 feet.
Nohemi gives it one star.
Not worth 10.
Nohemi.
Nohemi.
I think that's No Amy.
No Amy?
Probably.
You're probably right.
I don't know.
I'm just reading it.
Coleman's assistant was No Amy.
And it was with a Y, but same thing.
Okay.
With a Y.
I don't know. Who knows? I mean, it could be an entirely different culture.
I am going to definitely side with you on this one, though, since you knew someone with a name near this.
Very similar. That's the most experience out of either of us and someone has. So I'm going with it.
One letter off. I'm in it. I'm in. One star, not worth $10. Just a circle you walk around the sun's fear and see the scenery.
We wanted to buy tickets in advance, but the lady in the front said no. No. No.
You buy them at the door, asshole.
Kevin, one star.
We got off the interstate only, all caps, to visit the sphere.
That's it?
That's it.
The 40 runs right through Knoxville, so it's probably not hard.
You can probably jump off the freeway and be here in two minutes and get right back on.
So they were going somewhere else, saw the big orange ball, and we're like, we're getting off.
We're going to go visit it.
I got to piss anyway.
We might as well visit this ball.
It was 2.45, and after paying for parking, they wouldn't allow.
us to go up. The lady claimed
they were sold out of tickets.
Right. Okay. He said
there was no one there.
Exclamation point, all caps. No one's there.
They're up there. Yeah.
I guess so. And no one was, I guess,
there at the place at all, he's
saying, maybe they're up there. You don't know.
Knoxville made a terrible
impression on me. I hope someone who
cares and can do something about it will
see this and address it. How are they
going to address this for you?
The whole city disappointed me, because
something was sold out.
Because a lady said you couldn't go up in the sunsphere and look at nothing.
Who cares?
Imagine that.
God, I hope someone who cares can do so.
Like, someone's going to see this and go, well.
Where's the governor?
You've already left, number one.
So it's not like they can say, come on back and we'll get you up there.
Like, who gives a shit?
The mayor of Knoxville should be so embarrassed.
Would you pay $3 to park?
You learned a $3 lesson.
There you go.
Maybe call ahead.
That's it.
Timothy one star not worth the $10 admission for a one minute walk around.
It's not big.
It's not a giant thing.
Literally, it seems like it's the size of like a large room.
You got to charge something though because it's elevated like that.
The maintenance of that has got to be astronomical.
Right there.
Elevators are expensive as shit to maintain.
So there's got to be something.
I get that it was probably some sort of state or government or something.
But Ronnie one star, kind of overpriced.
for the view. Yeah, the view, quote, I'm going to put view in quotes.
How high is this? It's really not much of a view. It looks like it's about maybe 10 stories.
Okay. Yeah. Maybe. Like, you know, yeah. And like I said, you're not really looking at much. There's not a lot to look at.
It's definitely the highest point in Knoxville.
It sure as shit looks like it. Maybe a point in the football stadium might be higher in the upper deck or something, but that's about it. I'm convinced of it.
too many rules on where you can and can't go.
I don't know where you would be.
It's a fucking circle.
It's a fucking circle.
You go up an elevator.
Walk around us.
They wouldn't let me.
Scale the outside.
They wouldn't let me frog man the outside of that thing.
I had some big sticky things I put on my hands, some big suction cups.
And I said, I can do this.
And I'll get a better view.
And they said, no.
They wouldn't let me do it.
Stay on this side of the glass.
These people are no fun whatsoever, man.
Robert one star, it is absurd that they now charge $10 to access the observation deck.
It's been free for decades, and it only takes a couple minutes to see one more example of Knoxville losing its charm.
God damn, bureaucratic red tape, James.
The whole city is to blame because this stupid Sunsphere costs $10.
What are we talking about?
Another of life's easy pleasures.
Wow.
Ripped away.
I'd say you know there's not a lot to do in Knoxville.
Yeah.
Because the whole city is fuck now because of this.
You know what I?
Simple pleasures of climbing the suns here.
That's fuck.
Josh, one star.
Now that it's a paid attraction, no one is ever interested in visiting it.
We often forget it's even there.
Well, I'm told it was sold out recently.
Yeah, so what are you talking about?
We forget it's even there.
We just, like an ex-boyfriend or just...
Just ignore it.
I don't even know.
I don't even know Travis.
I don't know what Travis.
No, I don't.
Sunsphere.
I don't know her.
The old Sunsphere.
Yeah.
Anna One Star.
Really bad experience.
Did you fall off the Sunsphere?
If not, there's really no, that's as bad as an experience I would think as you're going
to have there.
Did anybody die there?
Yeah.
Somebody die and be pushed out of the globe.
I went there.
I went there the web page, Google Maps, and every flyer around town said it opened
130 and it's closed already 2 p.m.
Oh, maybe it closed at 130.
I may be. I have been outside for more than 20 minutes waiting and it's closed.
Hey, guess what?
Fucking leave now.
What are you expecting?
You sat there for 20 minutes.
This is what I mean.
This idiot sat outside.
It's like, people want us to choose sides.
I don't care whose fault it is.
You're the moron because no one else is sitting in a fucking empty parking lot for 20 minutes for no.
I'm there for 20 minutes.
You're an idiot.
Anna, I'm sorry.
Have you ever, I've walked up to buildings.
The doors are locked.
I go to shake them and I go,
I look so stupid right now.
I'm getting the fuck out of here.
I turn around and I leave.
Imagine going and sitting in your car and going,
I'll wait them out.
Don't be back.
The embarrassment.
The embarrassment of grabbing a locked door
is enough to make me go the fuck home.
Especially when there's people inside and they look at you like,
Why are you trying to get in here, stupid?
And you're like, oh, shit, my bad.
Yeah.
The shame of it will drive you back to wherever I'm from.
That idiot doesn't know.
He can't read a sign that says closed.
And you know they're inside going, I wonder how long she's going to sit out there for.
She thinks we're going to reopen this thing and we ain't.
That lock rattle.
Oh, it's so embarrassing.
I'm like, goodbye.
You ever do that, but the door's actually.
stuck? No? I don't know. I went home.
One time, where the fuck? I can't remember where it was, but I did that. And I was like,
ah, shit. And I felt like a real moron because there was like people inside. And I turned around
and got like two steps. And then like a family with two kids walked out, pushed the door
open and walked out. And I was like, they're open and they're like, yeah. Of course. What are you
talking about? It's like, oh shit, it was just stuck. And I walked in. It felt like a complete idiot.
But that's a rare occasion that that's going to happen. I'm already on the corner.
The shaman embarrassment.
I'm like, no, I'm that guy.
The door almost hit me.
Like, that's how close it was.
Otherwise, I turned around, well, that's that.
And then I hear like, mommy, blah, bra, bra.
And, like, bag, sprinkling.
I'm like, oh, shit.
I'm a morrow.
There is that other part, too, where they open late.
Because I've gone to a place that, like, I don't, 10, 15.
They open at 10.
And I go to open the door and it's locked.
I feel stupid because I'm like, I thought they opened a 10.
And I'm going to run out.
And they open the door and go, oh, I'm sorry, we didn't unlock it yet.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm already, I don't care about it.
I'm already all flustered.
You're obviously not ready.
I don't know.
I look stupid.
You're unprepared.
Let's do it again tomorrow.
I feel like I showed up at a party too early and someone answered the door wearing a towel with like wrapped around their hair and shit going.
We're not.
The grill's not even on yet.
You're standing out there with a big bowl of dip.
Like, um, I.
Sorry.
That when we showed up to Jay Moore's house and he's holding his kid's hand.
He thought we were, we had pizza.
He answered the door with money to give a pizza guy.
And he's like, you guys aren't the pizza guy.
We're like, nah.
We're supposed to record a podcast with you.
Oh, I got to feed the kid.
We're going to leave.
We're like, well, we'll take.
He said to you, you're going to hang out if you want.
No, no, no, no.
You're not open yet.
We're okay.
You have a small child standing next to you and you're waiting for pizza.
We'll come back later.
We'll come back in like two hours.
We went out to eat.
We went out and got food.
Remember?
We're like, we got to kill some time.
Man, this is weird as shit.
Oh, it's the funniest fucking thing ever.
A child staring at us.
Daddy, who are they?
Why don't they have pizza for me?
And then he thought he was on our show.
Why are there two of you?
We're on your show.
Oh, shit, okay.
Oh, it's my show.
All right.
Yeah, we're not.
This is, we were told to come here.
Oh, so funny.
Daddy, why did they send two empty-handed pizza men?
Yeah, why are there two pizza men?
And why don't they have pizza?
better question.
This is real weird.
Oh, God.
And why is one of them smoking a joint on our front lawn?
Why's the other one already on the way back to the car?
That's great.
So Anna says, today was my last day here, and it's a shame.
I was really expecting to try these.
Try these?
Try what?
I don't know.
I have no idea what you were supposed to try.
I'm going to go have some sun spheres today.
Yeah, I'm going to go try them all out.
Jacko, one star.
place has nothing interesting.
There is nothing good to see on the, quote, observatory deck going around it.
Takes like three minutes.
There's not even a food or beverage place there.
Place should be free.
No wonder why no people visit there.
How was it sold out?
Yeah.
Did you check the website?
Did you expect a buffet up there?
Did you check the website?
That's the question.
What do you think you go up to the food court?
Is that what you think is up here?
And I don't know.
It's like kind of by itself.
out there? What kind of a snack stand? Just someone waiting, hoping? Fingers crossed. Someone's
going to have their big lunch here? Like,
there's not going to sell a lot.
The Chipotle up there. Oh, you got to have it. It's like an airport up there. Forget it.
Christina One Star, I normally do not review unless it was absolutely terrible.
And that it was with three exclamation points.
We reserved a spot for four to four 30. We arrived at the entry level at 410 and got
denied entrance. Oh, no.
Oh, boy. We assumed we could still use our 20 minutes to attend with our son.
The lady in charge for today was extremely rude.
We informed her.
We traveled to do this observation, and her response was, no returns.
Better luck next time.
Better luck.
That's great.
Not only do I not care that you're upset, I think you're going to come back for some reason.
That's even better.
Better luck next time.
Better luck next time.
This is a fucking scratcher ticket?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Sorry, as they deal you out of the blackjack game.
You're like, all my chips are gone.
Better luck next time, asshole.
Don't hit on that.
Let somebody else use your chair now.
We will not again attempt to try and set foot inside that place.
Completely lacked compassionate service and accurate information on their website.
Oh, we did check it.
Not any description that if you are not there right on time, you lose your position.
Worst set up and managed by the coldest people.
I cannot call this.
They just told you, sorry, you're late.
Better luck.
Better luck.
Yeah, at least they didn't say, go fuck your mother.
Like, better luck next time is.
They wished you.
Better luck.
It's dismissive.
But if you take the actual words, they say, that's, they're fine.
They're not bad.
It's actually nice.
It's not a bad thing.
Yeah, don't take it in the worst way possible.
Figure out the way that it's not that bad.
Take it that way.
Take it as a bless your heart.
That's all.
Yeah.
We'll call it an ambiguous statement.
Yeah.
I cannot imagine how many they have ripped off because of their poor details and no refunds.
Ridiculous.
No refunds.
No refunds.
Denise, one star.
The website was lacking in description of how it worked.
We showed up and had to scan a QR to make an appointment.
There was no one there to explain anything.
We expected to have cocktails and look around.
Where do you think you are?
Where do you think you are but cocktails and look around?
This is not some cosmopolitan.
Sure, louvotons to this place.
This isn't the Eiffel Tower.
What are you talking about?
You're going to stand up there and have a martini and look out at glorious Knoxville.
Yeah, everybody in tuxedos and big dresses you picture and the piano guy playing.
We're tinkling on the keys.
Yeah.
What did you think you were going to?
I thought it was going to be like a hotel lobby where they explained to you when you check in.
We have cocktail hour from five to six.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on over.
Wow.
that I ignore every time.
I'm like, you don't have to do this.
Just show me the elevator's art.
I'll be sleeping.
Thank you.
I don't care about any.
The gym's open.
It's very nice that you think I work out.
That's very flattering.
What floor?
I'm not going to mill about with the other guests for a free glass of wine.
Free gas of wine.
And some fucking beverage farm sausage.
No, I'll be in my room.
I'll be upstairs.
Thank you.
Let's see here.
It is appointment only for 30 minutes.
That's all I've been able to figure out.
We had to leave before the next appointment.
Very disappointing.
So you only have a 30-minute window.
So you pick time slots.
Yeah.
And it only takes a minute.
So you get 29 to hang around.
That seems like what it is.
Yeah.
That seems like how it works here.
Yeah.
Which seems fair, I guess.
You know what I mean?
$10 for 30 minutes.
What is that?
30 cents a minute?
That's quite some time.
It's not bad.
It's not a bad.
No, it's not bad at all.
I don't think.
I mean, like I said, there's not much more.
can do. No. There's not a lot to see. You go up and you look and you go, hey, look at that.
And you come back down. There it is. Like everyone said, it's a three minute walk around.
Alan, one star, don't waste your money. Book three tickets for the four o'clock to four 30.
Got there at 410 and was denied entrance again. Yeah, you were supposed to go up at 4.
You were there for 4. The host is rude. No refunds, no rescheduling, no description on the website
about being there earlier than your agreed time you purchased. I can't imagine how many people they
rip off every day.
You showed up late, though.
What do you mean?
That's what I don't understand.
He booked up 4 o'clock and then showed up at 4.10?
Yeah.
What do you want?
You're late.
You're late.
And they're like, but I can be late.
No, not here.
No.
I'm sorry.
The movie started at 8.
You showed up at 8.15 and you want to know what happened at the beginning.
You know.
They're saying, well, you know, you could still, no, that's how we would do things here.
And now you lost 10 bucks.
I don't know what to tell you.
Idiot.
Lisa, one star.
We went for a wedding party, and the bartender was absolutely awful to us.
Oh, there was a bar there.
This was 10 years ago, this review.
Oh.
You don't know.
Maybe times have changed.
Yeah, her name was Tori, and she was very rude to the entire party.
All Tori's are rude.
Let's be realistic.
Yeah, let's be honest.
Notorious.
With an eye, you're done.
It's literally in Notorious.
They're very...
Notoriously rude.
Very rude to the entire party and got snappy with anyone who wanted to order a drink.
How dare you from the bartender?
She had absolutely no hospitality skills and started crying when people confronted her about being so rude.
You ever think maybe she's got a different issue?
Something else is going on.
If you told her she's rude and she started crying.
She admitted to being an awful bartender and cried about the fact that she was so bad.
with people. Now I feel terrible for this poor woman.
What's going on with Tori today?
So a group of well-dressed people at a wedding party are, I just picture like 10 of them standing
around with this poor girl crying in the middle going, I know, I'm terrible. I'm so sorry.
Parading of a girl trying to get you drunk.
Yeah, it's booze. Who cares? Jesus Christ. We went to celebrate a friend's wedding and were
very disappointed in the customer service offered. She was rude on multiple occasions.
and when she knew that we were the bridal party,
she became a different person.
Okay.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
JS1 star.
Traveled up here from Alabama.
Where me and my wife grew up.
Sadie on the web,
a website said it was open.
Sadie on the website said it was open.
Apparently they talked to someone on the website.
They emailed the automated system.
That's see it.
Sadie.
So we go.
And guests could not go to the observation.
That's where I proposed to you 16 years ago.
Now he's talking to her.
Now he's,
this is now a review at his betrothed.
At his beloved.
And his wife for Christ,
what the fuck are you talking about?
Things happen,
but was not happy about the website.
We still had a good time.
Good.
Yeah, that's great.
Ace, A-I-S-E, one star, too expensive, also can't see the sun.
What?
Okay.
I don't know where you are, but there's windows and a sky.
You can see the sun unless there's clouds.
If there are clouds and you thought that you're going to get above them.
Yeah. In 10 stories, I don't understand that whatsoever.
Oh, boy. Fine. You know what? I'm going to back off and go, that's fine. I'm leaving the sun's fear. I'm very frustrated.
Ace is scary.
Good God. Let's go somewhere else. Let's have fun, Jimmy.
Yeah.
Me and you are going to round one bowling an arcade place, an arcade park place mall.
Okay, so round one, if this is a giant company, there's, there's,
So it's where?
If you're talking about a local Arizona company, it's probably the same one because this one's, this is in Tucson.
There's one in Arizona, yes.
So yeah.
So yeah.
So yeah.
It looks like a nightmare.
It looks like a nightmare. It's the same thing then.
It has giant vending.
Yeah, it has giant vending machine or claw machines.
Yes.
That you can get like.
Rare shit and expensive.
Huge things.
Not just like, not just like a Rolex.
I'm talking like, no, no, no.
You can grab.
A child.
Yes.
Yeah.
These claws are huge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
That's the type of place this is.
Where it's like, you know, three bucks for the claw machine.
Yes.
That's the type of joint.
And it's gigantic.
It looks, it's a size of like an airplane hanger.
It's fucking like five airplane hangers.
It's huge.
It's a giant place.
The one in Phoenix, it's where J.C. Penny closed.
They did that.
That's what this looks like.
Yeah.
They're looking for, they're looking for shut down C.
Like the righteous gemstones.
It's frightening.
Yes.
We gonna be all up in that sears?
It's, James, it's confusing.
It's so scary.
You walk in and you're just like, where is, where's my family?
Noise and things and kids and, yeah.
Flashing lights, it's crazy.
When you go to leave, you don't even make sure it's your kid.
You just collect a kid of the same gender and walk out the door and hope you did well.
Approximate size and age and you leave.
Afterwards, everybody figures it out.
All the parents will re-exchange.
But you got to get out of there.
It's like Dave and it's every place that kids go,
throw in a Daveen Busters for the booze part.
That's what it is.
Yeah, it's what it sounds like.
It's all mixed together of every place.
It's what like what Peter Piper wanted.
What would, you know, if you put it on, you know, multiply it by 20.
That's what it would be.
Yeah, there's ski ball, bowling, karaoke.
It's crazy.
This is 5950 East Broadway Boulevard, number 110,
in Tucson located in the Park Place Mall.
Closes at 2 a.m. this joint.
Bar hours.
Oh, yeah, because there's booze.
Wow.
This is not mostly adults.
Yeah, it's got, well, I see it's all kids, tons of kids, and then there's adults, too, at night.
It's a weird thing.
During the day, it's all kids, and then I think, you know, once the boo starts flowing, clear them out.
This has four stars out of 1323 reviews here.
So, plenty of reviews.
Here's Cecilia, five stars.
Had a party there not long ago.
The party host, Morgan, was extremely helpful and patient, answering all of our questions.
While the lanes did have some issues, they were fixed quickly.
The pizza was a little burnt, but it was still better than most bowling alleys.
And the staff had some of the best customer service I had seen in a while.
I can't wait to go back there again.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Here's Angie four stars.
This place is two stories of fun.
Two stories of...
psychotic shit.
Wow. And we're talking high ceilings, too.
So this is two huge stories.
James, it's a JC Penny.
So you've got, you know, Jason Penny had two stories.
It's a department store size.
Absolutely.
They're kind of expensive.
They serve beer and wine, pool tables, arcades, and bowling.
There's something for everyone here.
All right.
Here is Adriana, one star.
Was my go-to until I came back recently and seen they switched up a lot of the claw machines
and rigged them.
It's all rigged against me.
There's not an aboveboard claw machine on the planet.
No, no.
I liked bringing my brother here because we loved the claw machines, but now it's pointless.
You'll pay $100 to $200 just to play and end up walking out with nothing.
What?
What?
Wait till you hear the amounts that people are spending in this joint on these claw machines.
It's insane.
I believe every word of it.
The whole place is so expensive.
You can still win some, but the prizes are not even worth it.
The ones that you will want are always nine out of ten times rigged, all capital letters.
It's rigged.
Yeah.
All right.
Sean, one star.
Machine broke on payout.
Had to wait a while for someone to come fix it.
Told me I'd have to use a different one.
Gave me my credit back, but messed up and only gave me one credit instead of two.
Okay.
Could have left with a gift for a birthday.
instead left with time wasted and credits scammed.
Round one and Chandler has some of the best customer service.
Oh, there's one up there too.
Jesus, they're all over.
They're growing.
JP, one star, middle of the day, and they ran out of burgers and pizza.
Okay, I don't know how that works.
Well, if it's anything like the one that I've been to, it's packed.
I mean, but middle of the day?
That's some piss poor ordering there.
Maybe they didn't expect so many people.
for the whole
If you run out
If you're open till 2 a.m.
And you run out of everything at 2 p.m.
You fucked up a lot.
There's a problem.
That's a problem.
There's a problem.
That's a miscounting for sure.
Somebody didn't carry the war.
No.
Three months later returned
and they were out of chicken wings
and have no condiments for burgers.
The manager was very rude
and seemed unstable when questioned.
Oh, don't corner that manager.
They will lose it.
He'll fold under the pressure, Henry.
Yeah.
Well, you may fold under questioning.
Tables were dirty.
The kids' cards for the birthday party did not work half the time on machines that they were supposed to.
Very sad.
Below is what condiments tray looks like.
Maybe they will learn something.
This isn't the condiments tray they have.
This is a proper condiments tray from another restaurant they posted a picture of.
It's the little basket and it's got some fucking Tabasco.
It's got like, it's got salt pepper, mayonnaise.
which mayonnaise shouldn't be left out in a basket.
Number one.
That should be asked for.
That's refrigerated.
From a cold place.
There's a mustard back there and then a thing of ketchup also.
So that's what it should be.
But it's not.
Yeah.
Mustard mayo ketchup.
Salt and pepper.
And a side of Tabasco if I want to get crazy.
If I want to get wild here.
Christopher one star.
Not too happy.
That's what we're talking about.
Chicken tenders were wear over cooked.
Not wear over cooked.
where overcooked, and the tables and floors were dirty.
Asked the female working the bar, the female working the bar.
You know a guy's a great guy when he goes, I asked the female over there.
That's always top and tear.
Didn't bother getting a name of the bartender.
It's just something about, it's a weird thing, but dudes that say refer to women as females are always a little weird.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
But I, you know what I mean?
I never refer to a woman as a female.
There's a female over there.
It's just weird.
Even if you do say it, the typing of the female working the bar.
Just say bartender, doggy.
That's seven letters.
A lady at the bar or a woman at the bar.
I don't know.
Female is weird.
I always think those guys just like to say male in theirs because they're in the closet.
That's all.
They're the big angry guys who are like, but I like dick.
I just can't tell anybody.
about it. Females.
Females.
Working the bar, if she could please have somebody clean the table I wanted to sit at with my
little boy, and she replied with an attitude.
Sir, we're, I guess where is what he really typed.
We're trying.
He thinks we're as where.
We will get to it when we can.
After cleaning the table, it was still very dirty.
I was very disappointed, especially in a time where everything is so expensive, especially
you would expect to eat in a cleanest.
establishment and eat quality food.
Not a bunch of employees standing around texting on their phones, not paying attention
to the customers, nor the food.
Now he breaks into a nor.
You misspelled weir, sir.
Wow.
This next person really needs to study history a drop.
Just a drop.
Just some old films he needs to see.
Colin, one star, a guy with a fish in his profile pictures.
Again, always a good sign.
One star.
I like fishing, don't get me wrong, but my profile picture isn't, look, I caught a fish.
I'll never show it off.
No, you do that when you're eight.
Look, you take a picture for your mother at home.
Look, I caught a fish.
Dad, take a picture for mom.
This is, you're a grown man.
Okay.
One star, felt like I was in a concentration camp.
Oh, a concentration camp.
There's booze, video games, and ski ball and claw machines.
That's Bergen-Belsen, they were very famous.
for having the most rigged claw machines in all of fucking Germany in Austria and everything else.
That was Gerbil's most famous experiments.
Yeah, and it was, it was, Mengela.
Yeah.
That was the thing about Auschwitz.
I mean, yeah, the gas chambers were bad.
Sure.
But that claw machine was fucking rigged, man.
When we liberated the place, that was the main complaint.
We were like, but aren't you sad that, you know, your family members have been murdered
and you haven't had proper nutrition,
you've been used to slave labor,
and they said, no, that fucking claw machine is rigged.
That's my main issue with this.
Mangolin did use to pick them up with a claw machine.
Yeah.
That's how they had all of them in a giant thing,
and that's how they picked out who they were experimenting on in the day.
The number on the arm correlated to which order he picked them up.
It was like a QR code back in the day.
Yeah, okay.
Colin, you're an asshole with your fish.
I hope you're eating.
A concentration camp.
Felt like I was in a concentration camp.
What does that mean?
So much control and security being a bunch of try-hards.
There's so many kids in there.
They're trying to make sure no kids get kidnapped and walked out.
You've got to have a lot of security in a place like this.
Then he resorts into internet speak with try-hards.
Try-hards.
Yeah.
Concentration camp.
All these.
There was just a bunch of like.
SS soldiers like total tryhards
just walking around fucking
what are you talking about
goose stepping ass tryhards
oh god
next up Rudy one star
this place is pretty expensive
in all aspects for what you get
also hope you like terrible tasting
expensive burnt pizza
after bowling we should have went to
Peter Piper played games and ate good
pizza
okay there you go
everything you have to say is
just null.
Right out the window.
Don't get you lost all credibility by saying we should go to Peter Piper and get good pizza.
Fucking idiots.
Yeah, at least your whole family wasn't gassed like Collins.
Yeah, Colin lost his whole family back there.
He barely made it out alive to get that fish.
It's the first fish he had in years.
Dude.
And the pizza, there's a picture of it.
It's not burnt.
It's like cooked well.
It looks nice.
It looks like it's not.
It is decent.
It's not bad.
It's not good.
No, it's a big thick pizza.
I will say for Peter Piper, as we've said before, and we've done reviews of that,
out of all the bad pizza, it's my favorite bad pizza, Peter Piper.
I liked Hungry Howie's better just because it had, it's so bad.
Peter Piper's crisper's crisper.
Well, hungry howies is pretty crispy, but they put like that garlicy shit.
I like it.
I don't.
Yeah.
The crust again.
Again, just like a bun and a fucking hamburger.
What's the crust there for?
Not to hold oils and flavors and cheeses.
It's to use as a fucking handle.
Everybody.
Stop ruining my handle.
I can't dip my handle into garlic powder before I jam it in my fat fucking days.
They give you dipping sauces at those places, the shit ones.
Because their pizza is so bad they know you have to dip it in something to make it palatable.
God damn it.
Stop fucking my handle up.
Buns are handles, crusts are handles.
Stop it.
All of you.
Very much like pizza is very much like chicken.
If you have to brag about what you're dipping it in, your shit sucks.
Your shit is bad.
Your chicken's garbage or pizza's garbage.
It's all garbage.
I agree with that.
Brittany One Star.
Really loved going here since they opened up years ago.
Now it's just a money guzzler.
Money guzzler.
It's a mix between gas guzzler and money.
And come.
Yeah.
I understand that's kind of what you sign up.
for with the arcade, but at least
if you're draining your bank account, you're
having fun, the new claw machines
with the boxes that are basically glued
to the rubber bands are not fun at all.
Boxes glued to rubber bands.
I don't know what the hell that even means.
I think that they're on the strip and you can
so it's like you said, it's like a
PS5 and they'll fucking, I guess,
double-sided tape that motherfucker.
That's made me hard.
Are not fun at all
and are a genuine scam.
You can't keep people from winning because
then there's no incentive to keep coming back.
So we definitely aren't unless friends tell us things have changed.
Listen through the grapevine here.
Yeah.
The incentive, just like the lottery, is maybe, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Try again.
Better look next time.
Better look next time.
Stephanie one star.
It's okay, but most games weren't working properly, and the service was horrible.
staff isn't friendly, won't be going back.
I'll drive to Phoenix to enjoy a place like this.
I'll drive two hours for this shit.
To something controlled by the exact same people.
Same company, same place.
Spent $450 for my kiddos and I.
You what?
Dude, let's get back to reality.
$450 is a lot of money.
That is crazy.
Easily.
Wow.
A three-day park hopper pass at Disneyland for two kids.
Yeah, for two kids.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
That's, you used to be able to do a whole Disney thing for $450.
Oh, yeah.
Now you can't do that anymore.
No, no, no, it's $2,000.
Get food or buy anything.
And I say that, that was 10 years ago.
It's probably three.
It's probably three right now.
But this is like, this is just an arcade.
Like, you shouldn't spend $450 here.
That's bonkers, man.
This is like a casino.
This is crazy.
And you'd figure with the amount you'd spend, you would have an attentive staff.
The place wasn't busy, so I couldn't understand why the staff wasn't available for 20 to 30 minutes.
Food was burnt from old oil and the bar drinks are watered down.
Ideal place for parents with children if the games are working.
Pool tables are just awful as well as the bowling.
She did everything for $450.
I mean, she got the whole, I wonder how long she was there for.
That's there for like 14 hours.
I mean, I guess that would make sense.
then, yeah.
$450.
Yeah, but like, if you're going for two hours with your kids, that's a lot of money to spend.
Fuck, yes.
Wow.
Here's a sickle, I guess, sickle, one star.
Claw machines are rigged.
They're rigged, man.
Machines are too overpriced as a claw machine.
Oh, my God.
As a claw machine expert.
Oh, God.
I give this place a capital R, not for what you think it's going to be.
When I said that, Jimmy tilted his head like a dog.
What's he going to say?
For rigged.
Okay.
That's what it's answer.
Yeah.
I give it the N word for not fair.
I rated an N for not fun.
Do not come here.
I'd rather play Fallout 3 blindfolded and with a plunger up my ass than come here again.
What?
Blindfolded Fallout 3 with a plunger up his ass is preferable.
What does that mean?
I think he's played Fallout 3 blindfolded with a plunger up his ass, and he was like, it was more fun.
I'll be honest.
I'd do that again.
I'd do that again.
Drove all the way here from Surprise, which is there where Jimmy lives and is a far drive from Tucson.
That's so far.
Dude, there is one 10 miles from your house.
You fucked up.
Well, this is only not.
nine months ago this review too.
It's been there for two years.
Yeah, this person's a moron and did not Google.
He's like, he heard there's a, he heard tell of a place in Tucson and packed everybody
up in the car.
You passed the one in Chandler to get there.
That's it had to pass that.
Just to get from surprise to like the 10 out of Phoenix, that's an hour.
That's an hour.
Oh, God, yeah.
It's an hour and 10 to get from there to 10 and Ray.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Okay.
G, one star.
Machines have been adjusted to give out very few prizes.
The last several times I went here, I was able to win at least one or two things each time
and also saw other customers with prizes of various sizes.
This visit, I blew $250 on credits and couldn't win anything.
My God.
Must be under new management or new rules because all the claw machines have been extremely stingy,
have extremely stingy payouts now and won't grab any prizes.
Definitely try to find another place to play.
Maybe main event or golf and stuff.
This round one location is done though, unfortunately.
I'm going to golf and stuff, man.
Golf and stuff exists still?
I haven't heard that since the 90s in Arizona.
Yeah.
Golf and stuff.
Maybe in Tucson.
Tucson is so far behind the rest of the, yeah.
It's like five years ago in Tucson all the time.
But there's a golf and season.
That thing was in Chandler.
Dude, you passed.
They're real worried about COVID down there.
This guy passed it on the way.
This guy's a fucking moron.
Brenda One Star, first time going to round one, and I was really excited.
Staff at the cafe slash bar were really rude.
They just seemed mad at everything, especially the bar guy, Mike.
They should hire people with better customer service skills.
Their attitudes were uncalled for.
Rewened my experience.
Ruined.
Whoa.
Jesus.
Thomas, one star
has a lot to say.
Okay.
I would not recommend coming here
if you're planning on drinking.
Yeah.
This is not the place
any adults should plan to go drink,
by the way.
Like as a night of drinking.
You know what I'm saying?
Be the adult.
This is the guy that goes out drinking
at Davenbusters.
Yes, that's weird.
It's, you know, once in a long while
during the day.
I don't know, whatever.
We're going to go get drunk and play games.
I don't care.
but this is like not your,
shouldn't be your Friday night go-to.
No.
I came here with a work party
and as soon as my boss
began to order alcohol for the group,
oh, it's one of those work parties
where the boss has to put the order in.
You're not even allowed to order your own stuff.
Yeah.
Oh, that sounds like so much fun.
As soon as my boss began to put the alcohol order for the group,
the female bartender began treating us
with utter contempt.
Again.
Again with the female bartender.
Did you make her cry?
Like the Sunsvier lady.
Yeah, what's the deal?
Just needlessly rude.
She even refused to serve one member of the party for no real reason as he is 21.
Okay.
Well, there's a reason.
It has to be something.
They can't just go, kind of like the looks of that one, you know.
Just needlessly rude.
Okay.
When the group went to play a game, they also came to our table and took the pitcher of beer from our table while it was still half full.
He probably thought you abandoned it at the table.
That's why.
It's kind of seemed like the bartender and security guards wanted to make us uncomfortable enough to just leave so they could close early.
Would give zero stars if that was an option.
Yeah.
Okay.
Edit.
Here we go.
There's an edit.
The woman who gave us these problems decided to retaliate by leaving our place of business a one-star review.
Well played, madam.
Well played.
Well played.
Female bartender.
Well played.
These scumbags came to round one and tried to get me to serve a minor.
That is awesome.
Actual children run this place, apparently.
This is a level of petty I can get mine.
I love it.
She did like the comedian thing where a comedian comes to your job to heckle you while you're trying to do accounts receivable.
That's what she just did.
That's great.
Not funny.
Hey, no, that's not good.
Nope, don't carry the three.
Oh, you fucked it up.
Oh, that's not great.
You suck.
Boo.
Boo.
You don't know
Prithagram theorem or whatever.
You don't know any of it.
You're shit at math.
That's so funny.
Oh, my God.
Maybe you guys shouldn't have told her where you were.
Yeah, they probably had shirts on still.
You know they had shirts on, man
You know they did
Yeah
You're sitting to wear your polo in there
You dummy
Your stupid fucking polo
Oh my God
This is too fun today
Okay
I'm not doing this guy
Is just too much
Yeah
God damn it
I can't get over it
It's so fucking
Now they have
Review wars.
This is too much fun, man.
I love it.
Oh, God, damn.
I love a surly bartender.
I do too.
Fuck those people.
Fuck those people.
I grew up with a lot of bartenders in my family,
and there were a lot of fuck those people kind of bartenders,
and I agree with that.
Fuck Arizona sunshades.
I'm going to review their business.
My aunt was known for taking the beer tap off and hitting a guy with it one time.
So this is way better than that, I would think.
At least you weren't assaulted.
Yeah, at least you didn't have a Modelo fucking imprint on your forehead.
That's better.
God, it hurts.
It's so funny.
Jonathan One Star, claw machines are the worst rigged ones I've ever seen in my life, and I've been to the boardwalk.
Okay.
I've seen scams, my friend.
I know a scam when I smell it.
Oh, man.
Complete waste of time and money.
Do not come here to, do not come here if you enjoy claw machines.
Then there's an update.
No.
Update.
This place can suck an egg.
That's the whole update.
Update.
I've decided what this place can suck.
This person, wow.
Wait to you hear this.
Okay.
Decentral.
Decentral.
One star.
This place is an absolute.
scam to milk the maximum amount of money out of you.
Right.
Yeah, called capitalism is what that's called.
It's a business.
Did you see how much fucking space in the mall it occupied?
Do you think that's free?
That's so much.
The amount of rent is crazy.
That's why a company that was in business for 150 years went out of business
because they couldn't have it there.
They were in business since the fucking James Buchanan administration.
Since the number one mode of transportation was rail cars.
Yeah, was horses.
Oh, my God.
It's probably owned by MGM or another casino company to prepare your kids for a long life of gambling.
Okay.
Now we got conspiracies.
That's probably a decent one, though.
It's not a bad.
It's not a bad way.
I've convinced that's what Chucky Cheese's whole purpose is.
Yeah, I think the dollar, they're literally making it to where it's just credits.
You've got a card and it's just credits.
It devalues it.
It values it.
Yeah, completely.
Oh, well, this is just a card.
It's nothing big.
They make joining the membership practically mandatory and make you download the app,
which is purposely overcomplicated to assure it's a waste of time to get the, quote, benefits that come with it.
If you're a parent with more than two kids, just plan on spending $1,000 for a few hours of, quote, fun.
I am shocked.
A thousand dollars.
And there's not a Mickey Mouse here?
What the fuck?
a thousand dollars.
That's absurd.
No, absolutely. That's insane.
I wish I could give zero stars.
But I can't.
But I can't.
I wish they would have said that.
You can tell most of the staff, no, it's a rip-off.
Then to top it all off, they wouldn't allow us to purchase a whole pizza because of parties they had.
So they had to allocate the pizza to the parties.
Allocate pizza?
My God.
Trying to buy pizza.
Yeah, they really just put a rat.
fashion of food in the kitchen.
They're like, when it's sold, it's done.
Wow, yeah.
They would, however, happily sell a slices at $6.99 a pot.
$7 a slice?
No.
It's cheaper at the airport.
Yeah.
By, yeah.
How is New York City figuring it out at $2 a slice or whatever the fuck?
Wow.
Okay.
Stephen One Star, not what it used to be when it first opened.
This place used to be.
filled with unique Japanese-slash-animed
prizes in both their games and the ticket store.
And the games were much less rigged.
Last time I went, there was no figures in the claw machine
and hardly anything worth buying the ticket or buying in the ticket store.
Same cheap prizes you can find anywhere else.
I guess it's still worth going if you only,
if you're only in it for the video games or bowling.
If you actually want to win prizes, I'd start looking somewhere else.
Okay.
Yeah, I would too, Mr.
I'd start looking somewhere else too.
Imagine. I mean, the prizes are big prizes. That's the, I think, I think Japan started this with the claw machines with actual good prizes and they're like PS-Rines and shit. Yeah. Yeah. So that's kind of what it's modeled after. But you can, I mean, you can. I mean, you can. What is it? Are there casinos in Japan?
Uh, I don't want to say they're run by the Yakuza, but I think so.
I mean, they have organized crime. They must have casino somewhere. I'm sure there's, I'm sure there's an underground roulette table if you want to.
find one.
I'm just curious what their culture is like when it comes to that.
I don't think societally.
I don't think it's accepted.
I don't know.
I don't think so societally.
No.
I'm not sure.
Either way, when you lose, you have to be very polite about it.
That I know for sure.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
All right.
Well, let's move on from this place because it's too expensive and I can't take it.
It's the most fun I've ever had.
It's so much fun.
So let's go and relax.
Let's stretch out.
and do some swimming. What do you say? Oh, boy. A pool. Let's do it. We're going to the Palisades Park
Swim Club in Palisades Park, New Jersey. Oh, boy. Let's do it. 200 Roosevelt Place, Palisades Park,
New Jersey. It's a big outdoor Olympic-sized swimming pool. Big public pool. Public pool.
Three point seven stars out of 457 reviews. Is that good? I don't think so. I'm going to say no.
No.
No, because if it's wet and there isn't shit floating in it, it should be five stars.
Right.
It's got to be bad.
If you didn't see bodily functions happen in the pool, that's five stars.
I would think so.
It looks crowded, too.
Anyway, Tamaro five stars.
This pool is awesome.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
I can't believe that I found a pool where chlorine doesn't burn my eyes.
Well, that's a bad sign.
That's a bad sign.
If I go in a public pool, I want my hair.
to turn green and I want to be blinded by chlorine immediately.
Now.
Or else I don't trust what's in there.
If you don't smell chlorine, it's all piss.
It's all piss.
You're going to smell chlorine or piss?
One of the two.
Yeah.
And Mrs. Karen is so amazing.
What a host.
Oh, a great Karen.
Wow.
If I had questions, she kindly answered, what questions would you have?
Is that a pool?
Do I swim in it?
Can I put my body in that?
Yeah.
Are swimmies allowed?
Like, what questions could you have?
have for her. And if I had needs, she tried to best, she tried her best to fulfill them.
I feel like I'm in my own backyard there. That's a bad sign. My needs. She'll come down and
finger me in the deep end if I needed that back. Mrs. Karen is full service, baby. Let me tell
you some. Carly, five stars. I've been coming to this pool since I was in the womb.
My pregnant mother bobbed herself around in here. Never had one issue ever.
Now I get to bring my daughter here and enjoy the day or just have a quiet mom day.
Wow.
Just a quiet mom day at the public pool.
Drink like a normal mom.
Yeah.
Dropping your kid off at school and be like, now I'm going to the pool.
Have me a mom day.
It's nice.
Stay cool, everyone.
And then sunglasses and thumbs up emojis and all that kind of shit.
All right.
Pictures of it doesn't look terrible.
Here's one star from Elva.
Here we go.
I came here.
with my three-year-old son and my one-year-old and my one-year-old, this place is filthy.
I understand you're going to charge for both kids, but they charge me $20 for a one-year-old
baby after we were allowed inside.
This place costs $20?
$20.
That's...
That's a lot.
I mean, I realize there's inflation.
It's a lot.
And I realize...
But still, insurance has jumped.
What would...
Did you ever go to a pocket?
public pool? I went, it was
35 cents.
I would never go to a public pool.
35 cents.
I will sweat.
Am I that old?
Yes.
Number, yes and...
$20?
But it's yes and.
We're going improv.
Yes, and $20 is way too much.
That's crazy.
Your old and $20 is too expensive.
Both of those things can be true.
It shouldn't be 35 cents, but
maybe $3?
$5?
Whatever.
Even and even five.
Go crazy.
$7.25.
You know what I mean?
Throw a weird number in it.
Yeah, like a 90s movie ticket.
$7.25 or something.
A public pool north of $10.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
There better be like slides.
Yeah.
If there's like, then it's a water park at that point.
Because $20 should be what you pay to get into a half-assed water park.
Done deal.
I'll agree with that.
Yeah.
That's not like, you know.
For an Olympic pool?
No, that's crazy.
We're going to fight.
That's too much.
They told me that I can't bring my baby food inside or water for their milk.
The baby can't even use the floaty in the pool, and my three-year-old wasn't allowed to use his life vest.
Right.
When we got in the pool, the water was disgusting, full of sand and rocks in the bottom, and the water was cloudy.
It was filthy.
That's all the lotion.
That's that, and that's chlorine fighting the infection.
Yeah.
Clarine's trying to stay on the right side of history here.
I can't fight this infection anymore.
It's deep inside this pool.
That's chlorine doing its job is.
Yeah, you'd be happy and wait for that shit to clear up.
See if the chlorine wins.
Give it 10 minutes.
Root for the chlorine, hope it wins, and then dive on in.
That's all I got to say.
Yeah, you want to feel chlorine inside it straight for sure.
Yeah, you do.
It was filthy.
I would try to avoid going here if I were you.
Uh-huh, yeah.
If I were you, you know, just for a favor for you.
Kofa one star.
We visited this pool many years ago, many years ago, always had positive emotions.
But today is a complete disappointment.
While we were standing in line, what did you say?
Now we have negative emotions.
Now we have negative, complete, wow, positive negative emotion.
While we were standing in line to enter after the members as guests, the child wanted to go to the toilet.
We were not allowed to enter and we were offered to walk to the toilet.
Okay.
We had to walk for several minutes.
The child barely made it.
Stones on the bottom of the pool.
Are they complaining where the location of the bathroom?
Yeah.
Or that your kid has poor bladder control.
Right.
How was that their fault?
Wow.
We had to walk for several minutes,
child barely.
Made it stones on the bottom of the pool, dirt, water, and food only for members.
Guests are not allowed.
And then, I don't know what this is why.
All caps, never buck.
BUCK.
I think never back is what they were going for possibly.
But the U and the A are nowhere near each other on a keyboard.
So he's, never buck.
All right.
A couple more here.
Veronica, one star.
I am very disappointed with how this public pool is managed.
I've now tried to visit three separate times,
only to be turned away at the door
because tickets were sold out for the day.
We drove 35 minutes each way with a small child
only to be told we can't get in.
I think we should buy a membership then.
If there is ever a 35-minute drive involved,
you better be goddamn sure.
You're getting in wherever you're going.
That's the nearest pool to you also?
Yeah.
At some point, I am digging a hole and just pouring my hose in it because this is too far and too expensive.
This is crazy.
There's got to be a lake nearer than 35 minutes.
Something.
Well, maybe these people aren't complete trash, though.
You never know.
Maybe.
That's a possibility.
I mean, Jersey, are you really, even anywhere in New Jersey, are you more than an hour from the ocean?
Probably not.
Probably not, right?
You can probably get there, but then you're at the shore, and that's a whole other issue.
I do agree.
That's a whole other issue going on at any point in the shore.
I think today, in 2026, I think I'd rather be at the shore than a fucking public pool.
Oh, that's a close one.
I'd have to think about that one.
I'd have to get a chart out and really put the strings from one to the other and figure out.
They are cloudy for entirely different reasons.
Yeah.
Yeah, do I want like needles stuck in me from the ocean or do I want this, whatever's going on in here?
I don't know, man.
That's a tough.
That's a six and dozen, right?
Yeah, I think it's six and a half dozen the other on that one.
Yeah.
For a public facility, this kind of experience is unacceptable.
There should be a better system in place.
Online reservations, real-time capacity updates, or the very least clear communication about peak times.
Turning away families after a long drive, especially with little kids, is really poor customer service.
Unless things change, we won't be trying again.
I don't think they're disappointed because they turn you away every time.
So I don't think they give a shit whether you come back or not.
It also sounds like you just pitched a wonderful idea for an app to whoever owns this game.
Yeah.
Real time.
What?
You want on every real time, attendance.
You want a, you want an app.
You want an app with like a surveillance system that tells you the exact numbers of people.
Shows you a graph of busy time versus not busy time?
Usually busy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cijon.
Cijon.
One star.
Oh, M.G.
Oh, M.G.
Oh, M.G.
Dirtiest pool I've ever seen.
Ever.
Ever.
Rude and unprofessional.
There is not even chlorine in the water to kill germs.
Guaranteed to get sick.
And once you're in, you can't get out.
Once you're out, you can't get in.
What are you talking?
What is this?
That sounds like the tagline from a horror movie.
Once you're in, you can't get out.
And once you're out, you can't get in.
Sounds like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
Yeah, it really does.
The hygiene of this pool should definitely be inspected.
And then there's a response from the owner.
Oh.
Here we go.
Please know that our pools are tested hourly by our lifeguards
and also randomly by an independent lab affiliated with the
Board of Health.
While the water may have appeared cloudy, we can assure you it is safe and fully up to code.
We're actively working on this and getting better each day.
I thought you were on it.
Right.
Yeah.
We are regularly inspected by the Board of Health to ensure all safety and cleanliness standards are met.
So it's a private pool, James, a privately owned one.
I guess because it says public pool, but I guess that's just, oh, because it's a business that you can go.
The insurance on that would be crazy.
You'd have to charge $20 a person.
Yeah, this isn't run by the state or anything.
No.
It's not one of those like city run play in New York City.
Yeah, you're right.
RK, one star.
I think we'll make this our last one here.
There is goose feces everywhere.
There are geese.
Goose feces.
I don't know if there's geese, but there's sure shitting everywhere.
There's geesees.
There's geesees.
Yeah.
They don't bother to clean it up at all.
Pathetic and lazy.
How about using someone of the 100 kids working there to clean it or some of the money you save on labor to hire a company to clean it?
Then, to top it all off, they have nothing for younger kids that aren't babies to enjoy.
They can't jump into the pool, yet the kid's diving board is never fixed.
How about you invest in the pool a little?
Maybe add a slide or something.
Well, now you're talking about a water park, which is a whole different operation.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But let's start with not having goose droppings all over the grass.
That's crazy.
That's a good place to start.
Yeah.
We'll never come back.
Wasted my money.
All right.
We will leave it off there.
I cannot believe there's geesey's here.
They got geesey's, homie.
This is not good.
If you've got a pool, there should not be any wildlife near it.
There should be so much chemical in there that geese are not even considering it.
They should be, there should be, the only geese around there should be dead from the chemicals killing them.
They just fall over when they get too close to the pool.
They should be gassed from the fucking chlorine shock.
I want a 20 foot radius around the pool to be a no man's land.
Only humans can survive.
That's what I want.
No man's.
And even humans, it's sketchy.
Yeah, even though their eyes are burning.
Yeah.
That's what you do.
Otherwise, I don't trust it at all.
I'm not doing it.
So there you go.
fun we've ever had.
It's so much fun.
We've talked about goose feces.
We went up in a sunsphere to look at nothing.
That was a lot of fun.
Clamishions that are fucking rigged.
Rigged is fun.
Rigged.
God damn it.
So it's been a fun day.
We hope you've had as much fun as we did.
And we're going to come back next week with more fun shit to talk about.
We'll finish up with the pool.
And then we got a whole bunch of more of good shit to talk about.
One of these weeks, we're going to do the reviews of your stupid opinion.
that we did from the live show.
Those were fun.
Yeah, those were fun.
I love the one where they call us a certain name.
It's very funny.
It's a lot of fun.
So check that out.
Keep coming back and seeing us week after week.
Head over to shut up and give me murder.com to get everything you can get.
All merchandise information.
Listen to our other two shows, crime in sports and small town murder, which are exactly what they
sound like, except very funny.
So come back and see us.
Keep hanging out with us.
And until then, we'll...
see you next week. Bye.
