Hello, everybody, and welcome back to your stupid opinions.
Hey.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
My name is James Petrigal.
I'm here with my co-host.
I'm Jimmy Wiseman.
We are going to hear more complaints from people that we don't care about about places we don't even want to go.
It's awesome.
I love it.
Oh, I love it so much.
So let's get into it before we do.
Real quick, head over to shut up and give me murder.com if you want any of the
merchandise, any things like that. Also, you can check out our other two shows, crime in sports, and small-town murder, which you can also watch on Netflix. So do that and hang out with us all the time. You can hang out with us all week. But right now, let's go hang out at Taco Bell. Oh, my. We're heading on back to the bell here. This is the Taco Bell at 8340, West 41st Street in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to give you a refresher. We just did a few of them at the end of the show last week. This is the Taco Bell with 2.2 stars.
on Google.
Everybody out tacos this bell.
Wow, this is fucking insane.
Okay, let's start out with Matthew with one star.
All right.
Food was completely unprepared.
I don't know what that means.
Just like a shell and then a pile of meat and a little bit of lettuce.
They treat you like fajitas?
Put it together yourself.
And I was missing items off my order.
Chalupa was harder than a rock.
That's a rock.
That's actually the new rock chalupa they're making now.
It's a totally new item.
It's made out of granite.
It's on the temporary menu, you know, whatever.
Staff was extremely unfriendly.
Called them to ask for a refund, already submitted a claim to corporate.
A claim.
Listen, that's on, you go to Taco Bell, you're assuming risk.
Every time.
You're assuming risk.
Here's the things that can go wrong.
You might get it to where you take a bite and all the meat falls out of the shell in the bottom.
It might be cold.
It might be smashed.
make you sick, or it might not even be what you want, but you're taking that risk when you do it.
Yeah, all of this, all of your order will not be in there.
No, and there might be extra shit you didn't want.
Yeah.
Also, cinnamon twist that you have no interest in.
If you got it in the drive-thru, it's definitely not the whole order.
No.
If you got it in the store, you might get 90% of it.
But the good news is the counter's right there.
Well, you can look at it and go, well, I'm missing this.
And they go, well, yeah, obviously.
As we'll find out, if it's in a bag, it's a little more complicated, as we'll
find out here. He said, I don't know how you can mess up a simple Taco Bell order. Well, they do it all
a time. So there you go. And they show a, I think that's a chalupa with like a dent in it.
I don't even know. Here is JJH with one star, a tablespoon of meat in my taco along with a pinch of shredded
lettuce and a tablespoon of lettuce. How do you make a tables? That's a, that's not a unit of measurement
for lettuce, a tablespoon.
moon. I've gotten Taco Bell Togos before that I was like, are they, is this a joke?
Oh, yeah. Where there's just like seven, eight pieces. Yeah, it's literally half an inch of shit in the
bottom of the chef. I'm like, come on. What are we? Like four shreds of cheese. You're like,
no, that's not right. What's happening? They can't be serious. Asked for hot sauce and was given
nine packets for one taco. Why the heck would I need that many packets? This place is awful.
Well, you've probably got all mine because I oftentimes, I tell them,
an exact number now.
Well, like, if you do like DoorDash, I'll just do, you can get 15 and I'll do 15
because you know you're not getting that many.
So I don't know how many of them get.
And then we all have a, we all have a gallon Ziploc bag of Taco Bell sauces too in our
house, which I have.
Mine's just the top drawer, or the top pocket in my fridge.
It's just full of condiments from wherever.
I have them organized.
I have one for Taco Bell.
I have one that's ketchup.
And then I have one that's Chinese food shit, like soy sauce and duck sauce packets.
shit in there. Mine are just all mixed together on the top on the left door.
I have a wall in separate bags. It's ridiculous.
My top right drawer is lemon juices and butter's and...
And then it's your fridge junk drawer. That's what it is.
The top drawers are just full of random shit.
Random air that I keep cold for no reason.
Yeah. Just, well, it keeps longer then.
That's what I suppose. That's when you grow up poor. That's what I do too. I'll save these
until the end of time.
I don't care if they're moldy.
I'll use them.
It's free Taco Bell sauce.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Like you grew up during the Depression for fuck sake.
Do you have batteries in your vegetable drawer?
Fuck yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Where else would, yeah.
So all my batteries go.
Yeah, I collect.
I keep all sorts of shit I don't need.
Somebody told me years ago that if you keep them cold, they last forever.
Yeah, I don't know.
So that's what I do.
Fingers crossed.
Can't hurt, I figure.
You're right?
I've never put a double A battery in anything.
and it didn't work.
So there's that.
I mean, they were new, but still, you never know.
It might have been the fridge.
The picture of this taco, too, it looks like, to be fair, two tablespoons of meat.
Okay.
But it goes up about an inch into the shell.
Like, it's broken in half and there's like a maybe, I could count the shreds of cheese.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
There's about 16 shreds of cheddar, which isn't enough cheddar.
And then a little bit of lettuce, more than a tablespoon of lettuce, by the way.
fair. That's still not enough. Not enough lettuce though. Yeah, the side view of it is the funniest thing you've ever seen, though. It's just so, it'll be on social media. It's just so low. It doesn't even come an inch up in the taco. It's just a shell. It's very sad. I don't know if that's, there is a layer or a level of the lettuce and cheese that I want it to be at, too, because if it's an overabundance, it's a bitch to get sauce in there.
Exactly. Then you have, like the Supremes, you have. The Supremes, you have.
You have to like, you have to peel the shell back and kind of put it in the side.
Otherwise, it's just all on top and it falls off.
It falls off the tomatoes when they fall off.
So Jason, one star.
This is hands down the weirdest Taco Bell I've ever experienced.
Weirdest.
Weirdest.
All they sell is hamburgers.
It's strange.
I never been to a taco bell like this.
It's consistently out of ingredients and tortillas and such.
Isn't that an ingredient?
That's, yeah.
Sort of.
Long wait times in a Wednesday afternoon, question mark.
On, you mean?
I mean on, but they don't.
They set in.
The employees are nice, but my family is convinced it's haunted.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Okay.
There's ghosts.
When did ghosts ever get involved?
I've heard a lot of Taco Bell complaints.
Diarrhea and stuff.
Never heard of ghosts as the reason why.
And this person has 182 Google reviews.
So I really want to dive into this person.
You got to believe them.
Further.
I suppose so.
I either believe them at 100%.
percent or not at all when they have that many reviews.
One of the two.
Nate, one star.
Food is cold most of the time.
That's Taco Bell.
And the order has not been right the last four times we've gone.
Oh, perfect.
You're getting the corporate.
That's what corporate says is the experience.
They should put that on commercials.
The authentic Taco Bell experience.
I strongly recommend going to McDonald's 50 feet away or Taco Johns less than a mile east of this
location.
If I could give zero stars, I would.
I would.
Thank you.
I also recommend if there's a Taco Johns nearby, go there.
Go there.
Okay, this is a funny story.
A little sidetrack.
We were driving from St. Louis to Chicago for a show.
Yeah.
Was that where it was?
Yes, because it was in the middle of Illinois farmland is where we got this.
And we stopped for gas.
And the driver guy that we had ate like a weird gas station sandwich that comes in the hard plastic cases, like on white bread.
Like a chicken salad.
Yeah, like on white bread.
Bizarre choice, yeah.
And we made it the even more bizarre choice to get tacos on the road because Taco Johns you had had in Colorado when you were a little kid who said.
They used to have, Taco John used to be like a little beach guy, but he was like in a sombrero and Mexican clothes.
But he's like skiing or whatever, so you'd have that on like a little plastic cup.
But the soda was always incredible and the tacos were always edible.
Like, you never ate it and we're like, gross.
They're not authentic tacos.
No.
They're not anything like that.
But they're fucking good.
And their hot sauce is good.
Their hot sauce is delicious.
That's what makes it to rock is the Taco John's hot sauce.
I enjoyed all three of those fucking tacos.
And didn't even get sick before Chicago.
We had another four hours in that.
That was in bed.
I love Taco John.
Stood in the middle of a parking lot being the cleanest people at the gas station.
Everybody showing up going, who are those motherfuckers with soap?
Look at these laundry doing cock suckers.
And by the way, it was right next to a laundromat, which made it even more ironic.
Everyone that pulled up was covered in dust, dirt, muck, whatever you want to call it.
Covered in the earth, basically.
Whatever the earth has shot at them, they were covered in.
Was it Indiana or Illinois?
It was Illinois, because we went from St. Louis to Chicago.
Okay.
Yeah.
So Southern Illinois farm field people that were judging us hard.
Hard.
Judging us and our driver, who clearly.
was not from here.
Look at these rich motherfuckers upwards at eight tacos.
Yeah, look at these guys.
They bought $4.50 worth of tacos there because they were on sale and everything.
All right.
Next up, one star from Ian, whose profile picture is carrot top.
So. I believe him then.
Now I believe him.
I was hopeful when they opened.
Hopeful.
Hopeful.
This one is way easier to get in and out of than the other ones, and it's close to my house.
It has easily become the worst one in town.
Oh, boy. I waited in the drive-thru for breakfast for five to ten minutes for someone to take my order, which no one did. Are they even open for breakfast? I don't know. I've never been to Taco Bell that hour.
I think they do, do-do. I think they have a breakfast menu.
Yeah, it's do-do. That's what it's called. They do-do. They do-do. They have a breakfast menu, but I don't know what's on it because I can eat egg.
They don't open for breakfast. I feel like it's a menu. They put it up there so people look at it and make some feel nice. But they're like, just open it at 11. That's when people are.
No one's coming before that.
All they serve those like cinnabonds.
Yeah.
I eventually had to leave so I wasn't late for work.
This, in addition to the cold, soggy food,
I've received the other times I visited.
Next time, I'll go to the one that's far from my house.
At least then I'll get good food.
But they do give the atmosphere a four somehow.
Great feeling.
I mean, well, he likes ghosts, that's why.
He's just real into the supernatural.
Stacey one star, all caps with, I couldn't begin to account, basically an entire line of exclamation points, maybe 30.
Okay.
All caps.
The worst Taco Bell in Sioux Falls, exclamation points.
We love all caps, Taco Bell, as much as the next person, which is usually not that much.
No.
So, but this location is all caps, hot garbage.
Oh, and it's hot.
Hot garbage.
Steaming flies.
Yeah.
Literal grade A trash.
People know that this review is not based on one experience.
It's several more than I'd care to admit.
She's embarrassed how many times she's been fucking screwed over by Taco Bell.
It's the food is cold, soggy, and tastes like the crew wants you to hate it.
I'm not the type to write reviews.
But this place is so.
bad that others need to be warned.
Oh.
Warned.
Do better 41st in Ellis.
Those are the cross streets.
You're a major disappointment
for the, and I didn't know this existed,
for the Taco Bell community.
What the fuck is the Taco Bell
community, everybody?
Anybody out there?
Are you a member?
Do we have any members of the Taco Bell community?
All the Bellheads are furious.
Wow. Stale tortillas,
soggy shells, cold meat, rotten produce,
not to mention the constant missing ingredients in your offer in your order,
you should be ashamed.
Hang your heads, Taco Bell.
Shame.
Shame.
Joseph One Star.
Oh, what a gourmet feast I had tonight.
What?
This is sarcasm.
Yeah.
I decided to indulge in a crunch wrap,
which, surprise, surprise, was packed with a whopping two teaspoons of meat.
Everybody's got this measurement.
Yeah, with the...
Everybody's measuring meat.
Meat and lettuce in the wrong measurements.
You don't measure those in spoons.
That's weird.
Can I get a teaspoon of meat?
Let me get a tablespoon of lettuce?
Nobody says that.
It's usually like half a cup, right?
Half a cup, a pinch, a grab, a thing.
I don't know what the fuck.
The hard shell taco was basically a meat-free zone.
It was just like a fancy pastry.
The taco shell is not a pastry, by the way.
That's not what that is.
A sherry corn tortilla from a box.
It is a fancy pastry.
A fancy pastry with a tiny crumb of beef inside.
We went as far as buying two hard shell tacos, and guess what?
They each had a measly tablespoon of meat.
Cold, of course, because warmth is overrated.
To crown this culinary masterpiece, I ordered a Pepsi, which arrived iceless, and sparkling
with the effervescent flatness of a drink that clearly lost its purpose in life.
Just say it was flat.
Just say they gave me a flat Pepsi, you fucking flowery.
An iceless?
No ice.
Who delivers a no ice Pepsi?
They hand it to me and it doesn't go.
I think you forgot something here.
A lot of times I'll be like, more ice.
Keep going.
Yeah, that's fine.
When you think I'm going to be upset at you, put another scoop.
Yeah.
That's one more.
That's where I'm fine.
Yeah.
Because the soda is this fucking big.
I'm not going to drink all that soda.
No way.
Fill it, yeah, give me about 12 pounds, a cans worth of soda is really all I want in there.
If I can hammer 32 ounces of Pepsi.
I can't drink that much Pepsi.
That's crazy.
That's so much.
In a day, I can't drink that much Pepsi.
I used to drink fucking five of them in a day.
Wow.
Yeah.
I liked soda, but.
And I was working outside.
That's how I would get my water from the ice.
Wow.
Oh, from like a Circle K one.
Yeah, I probably had liver days.
or something from that for a while.
Probably.
I definitely had ulcers.
I have a soda for, I'll have it for like six hours, like a can of soda.
Like I just, I don't know.
I just sip at it.
I don't really drink it that much.
I got a Coke right this second that I've had for fucking three hours.
Yeah, yeah, this Pepsi I opened it.
I'm going to throw that away, I think.
This Pepsi I have was my morning coffee and it's fucking evening now.
Okay.
This place should be shut down faster than you can say full service restaurant.
Oh, God.
Give me an MRE any day.
I'm done with these gourmet disappointments.
Dude.
Okay.
First of all, Taco Bell's better than any MRE you're going to get, number one.
And number two, this is nothing about Taco Bell is or has ever been purported to be gourmet.
Never.
It's literally fast food tacos.
Is this what he thought?
I've done with these gourmet disappoint.
Like, he expected to go in and it would be Morton's, and it's not.
It's Taco Bell.
Wild.
All right. Liam, one star. Ordered a grilled cheese burrito, no fiesta strips, no chippole sauce. They ran out of meat, and when I got it, it still had the strips. Well, they had to fill something in wherever the meat should be, I guess. We've got to put some fill in here. I thought it's just a hot tortilla. I returned it, and it had chapolet sauce on it. When my friend ordered the same thing, his had guacamole on it. Two exact orders have made completely differently. Okay, that's hilarious. What's yours got on it?
Everybody take a bit of bowl and go, is that it?
Is that it?
All right.
We'll try again next time.
The Chipotle sauce is so gross, by the way.
Yeah, I don't like that shit.
It's like a barbecue sauce with cheese.
It's so gross.
It's a mayonnaise base, right?
I don't know.
I've tried it.
I feel like it's a mayonnaise base.
Anything that has it in it, I just won't order it.
It's so gross.
No, I don't like it at all.
It is gross.
I've had it once by accident and it came on something.
I was like, ugh.
I don't like that.
Whatever that is.
Brad, one star. Absolutely disgusting inside. For a brand new facility, the bathrooms had so much crud all over. Yikes.
Taco Bell bathroom crud is real crud. What is that? Is that beans from the workers on their shoes?
Poop and beans and sour cream. I don't know what's going on there. Eateria was very dirty and tables not being cleaned off. Staff not attentive at all. Won't go back to that place, afraid of getting food.
poison.
Not poisoned.
Food poison.
That's a new thing that I think we have a problem with in any restaurant that doesn't
have a server.
They do not give a fuck.
I guess that's all fast food, right?
They don't care.
They're not getting paid.
They're getting paid shit.
They're getting treated horribly.
And they pass that on to you.
They pass that savings on to you.
Yeah.
There's a place by me that's like a sandwich soup place.
And their tables are fucking terrible.
Yeah, because nobody's working for tips.
Yeah, and nobody's walking up to you to, they expect you to do what you're supposed to do and nobody does.
And they're not getting paid shit, which sucks.
You know what I think else?
I think Americans got a big fucking problem with getting the food in their goddamn face.
Oh, yeah, we're sloppy.
There's food fucking everywhere.
And then no one cleans up after themselves ever because they're fucking pigs.
Natalie, one star, this is hilarious.
Some of the staff have no customer service.
I was literally told, quote, well, yesterday we were nice.
As a reason to why I wasn't allowed to get something I ordered all the time.
I don't know.
We used all up all our nice yesterday is a fucking crazy thing to tell us.
Oh, nice on Tuesday.
Don't you know that?
Welcome to Wednesday.
Good God.
Take that.
You should see Thursdays.
You don't want to be here on Thursdays.
Boy, we are mean.
That's when we just throw shit at you.
We don't even put, we just throw meat and a shell at you and go, there.
Bitch catch.
Don't you dare come around on fuck yourself Friday.
Oh, forget about it.
Suck my dick Saturday is even worse.
You don't want to be here for that.
And we close on Sunday.
It's the Lord's Day, obviously.
Shell, one star.
They forgot the potato part of my spicy potato tacos.
Seriously?
I just got a spicy taco.
Seems like a problem.
Just a spicy soft shell there.
Change one star.
Betty bad sir i think they mean pretty but they wrote betty bad service no put napkins no put sausage okay this person
saying out of this one this person doesn't speak a lot of english i don't think nothing the food is almost
out of paper huh okay i didn't know taco bell there's not a sausage in a taco bell that i know of
by the way i don't know they have any sausage so betty bad service no put napkins no put sausage
separate sentence, nothing the food is almost out of paper.
I never go back.
I don't recommend it.
I think it means no sauces.
Maybe this is text to talk.
Or talk to text.
No sauces and it said sausage.
I think they tried to spell it with an S because they're not from here and it corrected to sausage.
Or they just spoke it.
You must mean sausage, not sauces.
Or that.
That's true to it.
Everything's out of favor.
Meaning if all the things are falling out of the rappers?
Betty Bad.
Betty Bad.
That's what happened.
And they said, Betty Bad.
Yeah.
He said, Betty Bad.
We all know that.
No sausage.
Yeah.
We all know like whatever the, I don't even know what the accent is, whatever, you know, Johnny Westville an accent.
Fucking just like.
So Bill, one star, everything I ordered was wrong.
And I just, I'm only put this on here for this one little thing.
thing I ordered was wrong, period, L.O.L.
Why that cracked me up.
Four o'clock in the morning, I'm laughing my ass off at that.
I don't know why. Why is that at L.O.L.
Oh, man. And then finally, Thomas, one star, crappy service, not polite, at manager, was very rude.
At manager. At manager. In case this aats them. I want them to know I hate them.
All right. Let's get the fuck out of Taco Bell.
All right.
thoroughly grossed out by their crud-filled bathroom here.
Bad service, Betty Bad.
What do you say?
You want to rock gaze?
Whatever.
We're going to rock gaze.
We're going to go to the Franklin Mineral Museum, Incorporated, which looks like a sad
little brick building.
Where is it?
This is at 32 Evans Street in Franklin, New Jersey.
What's Franklin Mint?
Is that from there, too?
That's what I was just going to say.
Is this have anything to do with the Franklin Mint?
But I don't think so.
That's like a company.
Where the hell is it?
Oh, that's the Bradford Exchange?
No, no, it's different.
Yeah, it's totally different.
This is just a little brick building in somewhere in New Jersey that has rocks in it.
Franklin Mint was found.
What, Joseph Siegel?
Okay, it's in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter.
Pennsylvania has a Wawa, Pennsylvania?
That's probably what it's named after.
I guess so.
I don't know.
Would you like to read reviews about the Franklin Mint instead?
I would love to know everything about it because this.
The Franklin Mint has.
Fucking nothing to do with it.
No.
So Franklin Mineral Museum, Inc.
Science Museum with exhibits spotlighting the geology and history of the area's zinc mines.
Wow.
Okay.
This is 4.7 stars out of almost 400 reviews.
So well reviewed.
Seems like a place should go.
If you're interested in rocks, you should go here and it'd be five stars, I would imagine, right?
Be blown away.
Yeah.
Probably not, though.
Let's find out.
Charlie, five stars.
Lots of educational fun, family friendly.
I would, there's not just chick shoving rocks up their twat then.
It's not just an only fan set.
It is the filthiest rock museum in America.
Let me tell you something.
Don't bring the kids.
Good news.
My eight-year-old knows where the clitoris is.
That's great.
There was a whole exhibit on it.
There was a rock you could flick to simulate.
It was a geode with a button real high.
Yeah, real smooth.
It's nice.
Oh, Christ.
Yeah, here we go.
Interesting for all age groups.
And you get to take home some luminescent rocks, too.
Highly recommended.
And there's pictures of luminescent rocks.
Rocks that glow under lights.
Elish J-E-L-I-I-I-I-I-C-J-A.
E-E-E-E-J-A.
What?
I never heard that one before.
That's a fucked way to spell Elisha.
Hi, Alicia.
with a J.
Fucking where?
What I was going to say,
is it silent in the front?
What are you talking about?
I would think it was before the A and it's silent.
Yeah, what is it?
Spaniel?
What are you talking about?
It's Halisha, actually, the way you really say.
Four stars.
The only thing that would have made it better is if they offered you a hammer for the rocks.
Destroy them while you're there.
Beat on these.
You don't get to beat them up.
That's not part of it.
They allowed.
They made it a prison camp.
Yeah, they allow you to bring in whatever you need to hound.
What is hound?
I don't know.
You get two pounds free of rocks, I guess, two pounds free with the $20 adult admission.
Then it's $2 a pound.
Huh?
I guess if you pay, I'm very confused.
You get two pounds free and then it's $2 a pound.
So you get $4 worth of rocks for free?
I suppose so.
Either that or they're saying that with that you get two pounds and $20 is $2 a pound, which is not true.
That would be $4.
I don't know what that's going on.
I guess it's $4 worth of rocks, but then $16 of admission.
Maybe $20 gets you or maybe on top of that or if you, I don't know what the fuck.
I don't know.
R gives it three stars due to how long, due to how the tour guide was with the students, she was an older lady.
Clearly, no patience.
Oh, how many stars, two?
Three.
Oh.
An old lady at the Rock Museum is probably not going to be the most fun outgoing.
It's going to be the old lady from Billy Madison that's just wandering around going.
Is anybody listening to me?
Or the babysitter from Don't Tell Mom the babysitter's dead.
Yeah.
It's very boring.
Yeah.
Inga, three stars.
Great place for discovering never seen before minerals and fossils before.
Okay.
But we were rushed out of the place when it was closing.
time as if we were not paying customers.
Well, it's closing.
Tined.
Yeah, it doesn't matter whether you pay or not.
If you were not paying customers, they'd have kicked you out before fucking closing
time.
You probably wouldn't have gotten in.
That's exactly right.
We got there at 3.10 p.m. and not warned that they close at 4 p.m.
Did you check the website?
That's a great question.
That's a good question.
At 3.45, we were told to leave.
The individual who was at the front desk even tried to sell us their most expensive all-in-one
pack that would have taken hours to go through.
Obviously he didn't want to be honest with us about their closing time and just wanted money for me and my three children.
Very sad.

Lady, it's a fucking building full of rocks. You know, like you're acting like this is a
They're not turning anyone away. I went to the World Trade Center Museum and I got there an hour
before closing and they were like, look, this takes a long time to go through. I was like,
I'll hurry. And they're like, you better run. And that's what I did. I didn't see shit.
Yeah. You just, oh, there's that. Okay. Well, they all look, bloody shoe. I don't look a fire truck.
There's the antenna.
Gotta go.
Big Ben, Parliament.
That's all it is.
That's not Big Ben, Parliament.
It was nuts.
Two stars from Robert.
Two stars, mind you.
Great collection of fluorescent minerals.
Two stars.
Great.
It's great.
Two stars.
That's how great those are.
Two stars.
It's boring.
Boring.
Samantha, one star.
I respect this business.
But I just found out if you take your under two-year-old to this place,
they'll make you pay, but won't let you do it.
anything. No under two should have to pay for anything. They're not getting any enjoyment
out of anything, essentially. They're useless. Even Disney should be free for them, to be honest.
They're not doing it. They're not going on the rides. No, they're just a passenger in your
cart, basically. They're not a fucking, you're just pushing them around all day. They're getting no
joy. Nothing from this, really at all. They might go, ha, when they see a firework or something.
They might freak out when they see things, but it's just because it's colors and I, yeah, it's
costume. They'll yell at you and they'll, and they'll,
say your kid won't understand anything going on.
Not true.
Young kids are smarter than you give them credit for.
Not less than two, they're not.
No, they're not.
Do you know a four-year-old has roughly the same IQ as a dog?
Like a smart dog?
That's a four-year-old.
Do your fucking taxes, you fucking asshole.
Now cut that in half and how dumb are they?
All right.
Kids are fucking stupid.
Kids that age are stupid.
You can show them something.
Put it behind your hand and then they think it disappeared.
That's how dumb they are.
They don't understand
Where to go?
They go, I don't know.
God damn it.
And the staff will talk over and disrespect you.
Unacceptable behavior.
I'm telling all of my friends and family,
and you'll be losing decades of potential patrons.
Decades.
My whole bloodline is dead to this place.
Fuck you.
Wow.
All right.
My final descendant will watch this place crumble.
What a fucking lunatic.
That's a rock museum.
It's the...
Imagine.
It's the rock music.
And it's a little, I guarantee you it's not that expensive.
No.
This person's not even that far.
It's $20 for an adult, which I mean, yeah, $20 is still $20, but for $20, but for $20, how immersive of an experience do you expect for $20?
If you give $20 to a place and expect an all-day event, you're out of your fucking mind.
That's what I mean.
You're not getting anything for $20.
Fucking nuts.
$20 is.
Yeah, that's, I mean, it's 2000 fucking 26.
You're just not getting that much for $20.
You don't get anything for $20 anymore.
You got to live with that too.
Stay the fuck home.
Stay home, motherfucker, if you don't like it.
So that's what we got going on here, $20 and unacceptable here, forever losing decades of business.
Okay, Alex, one star.
They are not working five months out of 12, and they don't even mention it on their Google Maps.
I drove entire hour just to discover they are closed.
Entire hour.
Entire hour.
Yeah, they're probably closed during the winter, I assume, basically.
Finally, Nick one star, so boring, took kids for a field trip.
They hated it.
Just because your prick little kids didn't like it.
All right, let's get out of there.
Yeah, I'm tired of minerals.
Let's get out of New Jersey and go somewhere a little more exotic.
We are going to the Netherlands here.
Oh.
Let's do it.
Let's get on a plane and we're going overseas here to the Gouda cheese experience.
Is that where it's from?
Well, this is, whoa.
The town is Gouda.
So it must be.
Yeah.
It's Agnitentrott 21, 21, 2801 GZ GZ Guta, Netherlands.
Yeah.
That's the address.
That's the address, the street address of it.
It has 4.6 stars out of 3,100 reviews.
Yeah.
And it looks like they have like a cheese mobile parked outside, which I kind of like.
That's pretty cool.
Good is a fun cheese because it's smoked.
It's a, it's creamy.
It can be hard.
It's a great cheese.
It's not bad.
I'm telling you.
So let's find out what people think of it.
How can you bitch about the cheese gutta experience?
Right.
It's the experience.
It's funny, too.
The chandeliers have like big, like, cheese wheel.
on them and shit.
Oh.
It's pretty cool.
Very cheesy.
Okay.
Ronald, five stars.
Super experience.
A lot of great knowledge, easy and interactive presented.
Fun for kids and grown-ups.
Oh.
The staff was absolutely nice and helpful and the tasting was great.
We had coffee and, I don't know what this is, B-R-O-D-J-E-S.
Some Dutch snack, I'm going to assume.
We had coffee and a brooch.
Yeah, an brooch.
in the cafeteria, which tasted good as well.
So there we go.
And outside, there's a bunch of wooden shoes
that say Gouda on them.
That's sitting around the front.
And they have, so it's real stereotypical.
Wooden shoes and cheese wheels here.
They even have a, this is an piece of art
that has a sunflower field,
but instead of sunflowers,
they're cheese wheels growing on a field.
Cheese hats.
Very cheesy.
Okay.
Another Ronald, four stars.
It gets very hot inside when the weather's warm.
Yeah, yeah, not a lot of air conditioning in Europe generally.
They're not big on that.
It's just not.
Is that true?
Yeah, Europe is, when Americans go to Europe, they're like, where the fuck is the air conditioning?
And they're like, what do you mean?
They don't do it?
Some places do it, but it is generally not a, like most people's houses are in air condition.
It's not a common thing in Europe, even in the hot countries.
Even in like Italy, air conditioning isn't common.
And it's fucking hot in southern Italy.
London, it gets fucking 90 degrees there.
Not a lot of air conditioning.
Wow.
Not a lot of air conditioning.
I mean, obviously, I'm not a world travel.
No, no, no.
I've never left America, apart from Mexico.
It's apparently gotten worse because it's gotten much hotter in the last 30 years.
Factually, it's gotten much hotter and there, you know, people are dying over there now.
They're going to have to do something about it.
Yeah, it's just hard to retrofit it into those old places and shit like that, too.
And it's just not a big...
And I think that's what they do, too, a lot of them.
It's like restaurants have to have it and stuff.
Otherwise, no one's going to sit and sweat.
I'm going to sit here and drink fucking tea and crumpets and sweat my balls off.
Sweat my ass off while I eat fucking bad, weird fucking English food.
Everything's a weiner.
Yeah, a banger, one of the two.
A banging weaner, you get one of those.
So it gets very hot.
This could easily be solved by installing ceiling fans.
Yeah, they're just like, just get air movement.
That's all they want.
They're not even asking for air conditioning.
It would also be nice for the staff.
The staff is very friendly.
Treat them better, basically.
Massoud, three stars.
It wasn't bad, but I think the experience could have been better and more interactive.
What do you want?
What do you want to make cheese?
Yeah.
Takes a while.
This isn't Chucky cheese.
They're not going to get up and dance and put on a show for you.
It's cheese.
Antimatronic mice.
Nope.
Nedlius.
That's a name.
Nedlius.
Yeah. Two stars. The Gouda cheese experience would, all caps, be really cool if it wasn't for the tedious, quote, cheese master test, they ask you while doing, ask you to do while exploring the building. It breaks the immersion for what is otherwise a really cool piece of history. Cheese master test.
Isn't that teaching you things about fucking cheese? I think they're trying to, I think it's educating you about cheese, which is probably part of this whole thing.
You're a fucking cheese master, bro.
That's it.
If I ever come back to this place, I will be skipping the, quote, experience and simply go to the restaurant portion of the building for some cheesecake and a pint.
P.S, the cheesecake is why I have increased my rating from one to two stars.
Good cheesecake.
Cheesecake and a beer?
That is a weird combination.
Gross choice.
Man, you Europeans got some weird shit going on.
Fascinating.
Bendix.
Two stars.
Very much tailored to small children.
No in-depth information on the cheese-making process or history of the Gouda.
The last person was complaining of the complete opposite.
It was too much.
Sounds like you didn't get to be a cheese master.
No.
I hope they give you like a little hat and a button.
Like, oh, I'm a cheese master.
At least a sticker.
Fuck.
Yeah, like a chef's hat with a cheese wheel on it, one of those.
Okay.
instead of only some very basic facts in a series of rundown exhibition rooms, way too expensive,
and on top of it, I bought some cheese in the shop afterwards, which was complete garbage.
Bad cheese?
Bad cheese, man.
Bad cheese.
Peter two stars, quite interesting, but lots of reading.
We know where you're coming from.
I wanted more cartoons explaining shit to me.
These are words.
My complaint about every fucking thing.
I'm like, is there not like a place I can put some headphones on and hear this?
Something.
Just, you could take guided tour, possibly.
Got stuck in the Negro League Museum.
I read a lot that day, and I don't think, I don't think I read it all correctly, but I certainly was like, God damn, I'm tired.
Do you know Babe Ruth was in the Negro leagues?
What are you talking about?
I swear I read that.
I swear.
I saw the Harlem Globetrotters were in this week.
Yeah, it's weird.
I didn't expect it.
I mean, sure, they came around after they shut down, but it's what's true.
They hit home runs and shit.
It's weird.
Got stuck in a room waiting for ages, no way to move forward,
just eventually just retraced our steps and left.
Not interested in cheese.
Philippa, one or two stars.
Little information about the process of cheese.
making and Dutch cheese and many annoying films that don't explain a lot.
Anoying films.
The films.
They didn't make you read?
You didn't watch.
You know, you're telling me you didn't watch the video because the video is going to show
you them making fucking cheese.
What else could it show?
Just people eating cheese, taking a bite and going, that's pretty good cheese.
And then keep going.
I doubt that's the video.
Pretty annoying.
Every room I went into, I was just watched Tracy Lords get banged.
I was like, this is kiddie porn.
This is very strange.
I expect more from a house of cheese.
What are they doing?
You're talking about this.
It's probably showing you how they do it, you fucking idiot.
I don't know what else the fucking videos could possibly be about.
I mean, honestly, what the fuck else are they about?
We had a headache afterwards.
Absolutely not recommended for small children under the age of four.
Our child was sick for the rest of the day.
Oh.
Sick.
Okay.
From what?
Not sure.
They don't say.
Films of D-Day.
They said, we had a headache.
Cheeseumes.
Well, yeah, that filming of D-Day was filmed terribly, so you're shaking your head a lot.
I mean, yeah.
A lot of gore.
That'll make me sick, too.
Yeah, you know, people getting shot dropping the camera, having to get it picked up again.
It's tough.
Ravinder, two stars.
Even if you pay the expected outcome to,
does not meet your expectations.
I'd love to know what his expectation was.
Even if you pay.
If you don't pay, you get no expectations.
Yeah, you can't expect much.
No.
Wanderlust one star.
It's not an experience, in quotes.
You will not, all caps.
See a real cheese making process there.
It's all plastic.
All caps with three exclamation points.
And they show rows of shelved cheese wheels.
And they say that's all plastic?
Apparently. I went there expecting to see the real cheese making process. It's all a plastic cheese experience until the end of the tour where you will get few cubes of cheese to taste. I am sure YouTube can get you more info than this and would be more entertaining.
Well, do that and then go sample the cheese. They've got it. That's not plastic cheese. It's got to be real cheese. It's just the wrappers are plastic. They put it in that like that wax plastic shit. That's what a wheel comes in to protect it.
I think, because he's showing shelves of it,
I can't imagine why they would have a cheese storage room filled with fake cheese.
That puts plastic cheese.
And they make cheese.
That's indisputable here.
Have you seen a cheese wheel cut with like that wire piece?
Yes.
It looks amazing.
Yeah, you're like, oh, boy, look at that.
Yeah, and you know that whatever's around the outside is keeping it from touching things or contaminating the goddamn cheese.
Fuck, yeah, those big ones of Parmesano, Reggiano fucking.
And they fucking saw it in half.
Like, oh, I want to taste the middle of that.
Just the very middle.
Yeah, buddy.
Give me some of that.
Jonathan, one star.
Absolutely terrible.
Oh.
Just a bunch of tacky plastic displays.
This person, plastic, too.
It may be plastic.
Maybe it is.
16 euros each just to taste a couple of cubes of cheese and watch some stupid cartoons.
Oh.
You're trapped and can't even get out quick once you realize what a horrible mistake you've made.
Whoa.
The quote, special prize is a 10% discount in the already overpriced gift shop.
Save your money.
Wow.
This is a special prize.
Then they go,
10% off.
10% off.
I think this is basically like you go to Gouda to see some Gouda and get some Gouda, and that's all it is.
If you went to Parmesan, Italy, you would expect the Parm.
Yeah.
If you went to Parma, you'd expect the Parmesan is what I meant.
Is mozzarella, is that from Buffalo?
Is that an American cheese?
No, no, it's a buffalo mozzarella.
That you get at the store is not, that's, that's a mozzarella.
That's not mozzarella.
That's shit rubber.
Right.
It's bad.
That's shit rubber.
That's terrible stuff.
You got to, like, in the cheese, you have to fucking.
When they twist it in the bag and then that's amazing.
Well, they have to, like, turn it over a whole bunch of times and get it in this ball shape and there's a whole process to it.
Vinegar is what does that.
What gets it to.
The water in there.
It's, anyway.
Yeah, that's, that's delicious stuff.
That's cheese.
That's fucking incredible.
I love it.
And I love a Parmesan.
Yeah.
The Parmesan or Regiano, the real fucking sharp.
Sharp.
Oh, it's so fucking good with some wine or something.
Good shit.
Barada.
Barada's crazy.
Barada's not bad, too.
That I fucking rock some barata.
Love a barata.
I'll eat the whole fucking ball.
That's good.
Just in one star.
We left after the second area.
They use the word, quote, experience here.
If you like colon, not if you like colon, that would be weird.
If you like, and then I'll bend up.
Yeah, if you like it, I got one for you right here.
If you like a hot, stuffy, cramped, overpopulated experience, this place is for you.
After not finding enough seats in the start, we all shuffled slowly to the next area.
We all stood in the same spot, no place to move, and hot.
We left then.
What a bad experience.
Okay.
And then there's a-
There's a response from the owner.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
We are sorry, but it is not allowed to have an air conditioning because it's,
It is a protect building.
That's the other thing, too.
They have a lot of historic shit over there that you can't start tearing the walls apart and putting fucking air conditioning ducks in.
Also, and we have holidays in the Netherlands.
Sorry.
Oh, we take time off.
We take time off.
We enjoy our lives here.
Fuck off, essentially.
But their buildings, too, they all look like a Disney village.
They all look like.
Hey, whatever the Nazis haven't blown up, let's not destroy with air conditioning is what they're doing.
Yeah, let's preserve it.
But it all looks like fantasy land, right?
Was that where Peter Pan's at?
Looks like those buildings.
It's beautiful.
Storytelling times.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
And it's amazing.
And it still exists.
It's incredible.
Germany, there's got a bunch of places like that too, like far off, like little
villages like that are like, we're going to blow up.
Fucking snow globe.
Did this come out of?
Yeah, non-strategic shithole places.
Belgium's like that, too.
Belgium's a snow globe also.
I've heard Belgium's amazing.
It's, I've heard.
So too, yeah.
And I know a friend that played hockey and went to Switzerland to play hockey and was talking about
you go to, to go to the village they had to go to.
They had to literally go on a tiny mountain road around and around the mountain to get to the village on top of the mountain where it was snowing and it was like a fucking snow globe.
And people were playing hockey in the ponds.
It was crazy.
It was like, this place is awesome.
Daniel, one star.
It is nice.
However, there's a moment where they trap you in.
a room and you cannot go further or back.
There's no assistance nor someone to ask for an exit.
It's called Disney's haunted mansion.
Yeah.
Room that will be growing.
They just got claustrophobic and they're like, why is that picture getting longer?
I don't get it.
James, one star.
Childish tour with very mediocre cheese tasting at the end.
Might be worth it if you have kids you want to keep busy for a while.
Otherwise, just go to a cheese store and buy some cheese.
Go to a cheese.
You're fucking lazy.
It should have asshole after that.
Dick.
Ballute.
Bullet.
Bullet.
B-U-L-U-T.
Okay.
Ballute?
Ballute.
One star.
Worst museum slash exhibition experience of our life.
Oh.
Of our life.
Rather spend your money for a beer in the bar of this place.
Isn't, inside isn't worth it.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
and then two more, a couple more here.
Olatz, one star, dirty.
Yeah.
Whole review.
Dirty.
Dirty, dirty.
Okay, lassie, one star.
They're selling wax as honey here.
What?
Huh?
Where the fuck did honey come into this?
16 euros for six measly discolored cheese cubes, a total tourist trap.
That's what Gouda is.
It's going to be just, it's smoked.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
It's going to be discolored.
How much do you want?
Yeah.
And I say that as a certified cheese maker.
Oh.
Like, I'm a cheeser.
And this place has horseshit cheese.
This shouldn't be this discolored.
Yeah.
I will give one more star here.
Francesca, this is translated out of the original Italian.
It's a shame to give it one star, but the positive reviews are completely misleading.
That's the Italian version of if I could give it to zero stars, I won't.
This is a tour sponsored by a cheese brand with an audio guide following a set route.
There you go.
Audio guide.
Following a set route with plastic objects and videos for children.
The in-depth explanation is minimal and the final tasting consists of five tiny cubes of cheese.
Well, the last guy got six.
You should complain with a biscuit and water.
If you don't have kids and a lot of time to spare, try spending those 16 years.
euros more.
Okay.
Where I come from, this is called...
I don't even know what that is.
I guess theft.
Long Italian word that I don't know what it means.
Okay.
Let's see.
We'll give one more here.
I'm enjoying the cheese for some reason.
Katrin one star.
Quite nice, but very expensive.
16 euros admission per person.
The highlight was at the end of the tour.
Our questionnaire was corrected in red ink.
All right.
that.
Like you failed a math test in the fourth grade.
Yeah, you got to carry the one there.
That's not how you divide.
And you're a dummy.
Okay.
Put an insert.
It should be a comma here.
It should be a comma here.
These places suck.
Okay.
We're hot.
We've been walking around this non-air-conditioned cheese place.
I feel like I'm, I feel like I smell like cheese.
Certainly.
Yeah.
The cheese particles have attached to my sweat.
So let's get out of here and go cool down a little bit.
Let's go for a swim.
What do you say?
Hmm.
We are going to the East Side Community Center.
Oh, boy.
Which is in Tacoma, Washington.
Yeah?
They got a public pool there?
1721 East 56th Street, Tacoma, Washington.
4.5 stars.
Great.
Sounds nice, and it's part of the Parks Department there.
Uh-huh.
The website is Parkstacoma.gov, so it's an official thing.
It's not some private thing.
Here's Antonio.
Five stars.
Nice facilities.
great instructors that teach kids the classes,
safe and fun spot for youth to hang out after school and whenever.
That's great.
So you can hang out there.
There's a pool.
There's probably like racquetball.
And they have like books and shit there.
Indoor basketball courts.
There's fun.
Yeah.
All sorts of shit like that.
The pool facilities here are definitely much nicer than most community centers.
Is it an indoor pool or is it outdoor?
I think it's indoor actually.
It might be.
We'll find out here.
Okay, Jen Clare, four stars.
My daughter comes here for swimming lessons.
We like this place.
It's clean and the staff are respectful.
What the hell do you have to do to get the fifth star?
Yeah.
What do they have to do?
They're working their ass off for you.
You're doing everything.
Okay.
Jesse, three stars.
The pool is fantastic.
The gym is really great.
Just a fair warning to parents.
If you're hoping to rent out one of the conference rooms for your child's birthday
so she can go swimming with her friends and
and then have cupcakes and pizza afterward,
just in case that was your plan, basically, is what you say.
It's a very specific plan.
It's very specific.
They won't let you.
They specifically told me they won't rent out to people having a pool party.
What the heck is the point of having the community center if you're going to nitpick who can rent rooms?
If they want a larger deposit or something, I'd understand.
I think it's probably they don't rent out the pool probably.
And if you have a big party, they don't want your party taking over.
the pool probably. Maybe.
That's what I can think. If they allow that,
then what's to stop them from allowing,
I don't know, a fraternity to
fucking run it out? You know what I mean? Exactly.
Now you've got a big, for an orgy.
Now you've got an orgy in there. Right. Great.
You're going to have people getting fucking the mouth in there.
It's going to be horrible. Yeah. Against their
will. Yeah. Hello.
Gives two stars.
Only good for young kids.
I'd say under eight.
Those are young kids.
That's a good.
We knew.
That's fucking hilarious.
They are really strict this year, and it's disappointing.
Me and my friends got in trouble for playing tag,
and we were told we can't touch each other at all.
That is awesome.
That is what, no touching.
Stop touching them.
It's too hot.
Wow.
Well, I mean, it's probably so they don't get sued for kids dittling each other or fighting,
but it's tag.
If it's in the pool, fine.
It's literally impossible to play tag without touching.
Yeah.
You can't.
It's called fucking tag.
That's the point, yeah.
That's the point.
But you can't do it outside the pool because that implies there's going to be some running
and you don't run by the pool.
But if you get in the pool, tag all you fucking want.
And I don't, maybe it's, yeah, I don't get it.
Maybe somebody got tagged too hard in the nose and now there's blood in the pool.
There was a tit tag going on maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Yeah, maybe somebody got their ass grabbed.
But otherwise, that's like saying, let's play baseball.
No throwing is the first rule.
Nobody can throw anything.
Okay, let's play.
All right.
Well, we're kind of stuck here.
Don't touch anybody.
Don't touching.
Wow.
Unless you want to just float there or have a small kid, I don't recommend it.
I don't know.
There's also something between playing tag and just floating still.
Yeah.
There's a lot in between there as well.
I mean,
no touching is a dumb reason.
Yeah.
The pool, the pool and like swimming and playing in the pool is also, it's just that there's,
you're doing nothing.
You're doing nothing.
Yeah.
Otherwise you're floating.
But, I mean, swimming, nobody just swims all day.
You know what I mean?
No, no.
There might be some guy trying to do laps or something, you know, some poor divorced guy.
For 20 minutes, he thinks he's getting in shape.
Yeah.
And then he's leaving.
Yeah.
But adults don't play.
in the pool.
No.
You know what it is, too?
And this is a thing.
Okay, you'll sit, I know, in like a jacuzzi or something.
But when you go in a pool, how long are you in the pool for?
20 minutes.
Tops, right?
Tops.
Get in, cool out, get in, cool out, when you're a kid, how long are you in the pool for?
Seven, eight hours?
All day?
Until your skin starts to sluff off of your body, essentially?
Until my toes are raw from pushing off the floor.
Pushing off the floor, your fingers are.
when they're like cracking, they're so fucking pruned.
When your eyes hurt?
Yeah.
Or when you're starving.
As long as you can be in the pool when you're a child.
When you're an adult, you literally go in.
Go there, go to back, do like two laps, go, duck your head under the water and go, all right, when you get back out, that's it.
I'm not sticking.
And if you see, the water where I live is so fucking bad.
It's horrifying.
If you're in it, I mean, yeah.
It's so hot.
It's not refreshing.
Right.
Right.
I got a saltwater pool to soften the water because otherwise if you just sit in that pool water, your skin feels, it's crazy to feel so dry while you're submerged.
It's fucking crazy.
And then also, how are you sweating while you're sitting in a pool of water, but you're sweating?
Why did I come out of the water and my head's getting wet?
It's disgusting.
It's so horrifying.
And that's the experience.
But yeah, the experience of an adult person at a pool is night and day,
from a child at a pool.
I'll jump in and get out and dry off and go in the house.
Jump in, swim to the other side and hop back out again.
That's it.
That's the day.
I'm cooled off now.
And then for the rest of the night, you're cooled off because then you go into the air conditioning
and you're wet and you're cold.
What's better.
And then it feels great.
Yeah.
What's better.
Sweating horribly four minutes before that.
That's equivalent of a dog laying his belly on a tile floor.
It's so good.
It's definitely great.
Although, two stars.
This place is great, but people who sleep in their cars make it very unsafe.
Don't go too early or too late.
Oh.
Okay.
They come in late at night and they don't leave until after opening?
I guess they stay.
I guess after, yeah, they stay all night.
But that's probably because it's a safe place to park.
Probably, yeah.
I've noticed that people, I lived in an apartment that had a street next to it, that were a shitload of people lived in their cars and they pull up eight, nine o'clock.
night, and they pull in for the night.
None of them were, like, we know two of the ladies that lived in a van, worked at the
grocery store right there.
They worked all day, then got in a fucking van, and then parked on the street and slept in their
cars all night.
Jesus.
Most people that sleep in their car are usually not people that you want to need to worry about
as much as, they're usually people who are trying to hold on to one last fucking string
to the, to the, to the, prosperous world.
Yeah.
One dangling hanging by a piece of duster.
For us.
At least I have shelter.
Respectable society.
Yeah.
It's mobile, but it's still shelter.
It's something.
And I can get places I need to go.
You know, that's so it's tough.
But also, you know, you never know.
Someone might jump out and rape you.
Who knows?
We'll find out.
It's a little scary.
Yeah.
You never know.
Jane, one star.
They need to stop hiring teenage lifeguards.
No.
They never will.
Adults will not work for that money.
That's why.
Have you ever met a north of 19-year-old
lifeguard? Do you want
some 40-year-old dude getting ready to
fucking touch your kid while they're wearing
their underwear, essentially? No.
Nobody wants that.
North of 19-year-old lifeguard
south of 27
doesn't exist. And that pocket
works in L.A.
Or
Myrtle Beach or
they work on the coast. They don't work in the
public pool. At the public pool.
Not a chance. How many drownings
are you really stopping at the public pool, really?
honestly, like for a lifeguard.
How often do you have to go in?
Once a year a baby falls in and someone didn't see it or something.
I mean, honestly.
And they usually don't die because you just caught it.
You saw it happen and you jumped in and saved.
And there's a bunch of other people there that'll probably get to that person before you do.
Yeah.
The other thing.
So you're probably not doing much.
Yeah.
You got a whistle.
You get attention.
Yeah.
Hey, someone get that kid.
Yeah.
And the guy on the beach that's the lifeguard, the guy north of 19, is trying to fuck people.
You don't want that guy there either.
Oh, so is this guy.
But so is this guy.
but he's only trying to fuck kids his own age.
Like 16 to 19 is the age.
He's trying to fuck.
That's why you're your job there.
Okay, they're too young and immature
to be trusted with people's lives.
One young man in particular was paying no attention to my daughter
who was trying to ask him a question
because he was too busy chatting it up with a friend.
He's too busy trying to get laid.
He looked at your daughter and went, too young to fuck.
Anyway, so this is what I was doing yesterday.
Yeah.
Not interested.
I went to another lifeguard to get his name.
Jeff Sweeney and he needs to be fired.
Oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
It gets probably 17 years old.
Needs to be Jeff Sweeney.
We're coming for you.
Hey, Jeff Sweeney, if you're out there and listening to this show by some crazy weird coincidence,
you can have a ticket to a live show that's near you for free.
I believe in you, Jeff.
You message us and prove that you're Jeff Sweeney from the pool and you got a free ticket because,
you know, what are you supposed to do with this fucking lady?
All right.
No name, one star, swim at your own risk.
All caps, exclamation point.
Should be a sign posted at pool.
I think it is probably.
Swim at your own risk?
It probably is.
If you get in the water anywhere and you think it's somebody else's risk, what are you dumb?
Yeah, you're, it's on you.
Yeah, it's on fucking you.
Absolutely.
Drive at your own risk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eat spicy foods at your own risk.
Really, it's all.
That's being an adult is doing everything at your own risk.
Yeah.
They do not keep it clean.
Black spots always on wall of hot tub.
Don't go in there.
That's mold.
That's mold.
I went there.
I went for a couple weeks, and first day, I seen how it was kept and wasn't happy.
Even questioned Lifeguard, and they said it will get clean right away.
All right?
So it's algae.
It must be.
We're going to go scrape it off.
However, I went a couple more times and still bad.
Also, found something in pool that was experienced.
spelled from someone, and that was done.
And all that was done was Lifeguard took it out.
Are we talking about shit?
That's poop.
What else can you find in the water that's been, you can't find piss.
No.
You can't find spit.
Anything else come out of your body?
Seamen would be tough too.
Shit's the only thing you can find and point out and go that, what was it, quote, that was expelled from someone.
Expelled?
Maybe a tampon?
Oh, maybe.
That's gross.
That's possible, too.
Which is worse.
It's either a shit or a tampon.
Either way, biohazard.
Huge hazard.
Clear the pool for a minute here.
Yeah.
We got a shock this fucker.
Kick the pool pump up a couple.
Yeah.
A couple pounds of fresher.
Send it through.
I feel like I'm more grossed out by the poop.
For sure.
Yeah.
If I have to choice, I'd swim in a pool full of tampons before I would have one turd log
floating around.
It also feels like,
A tampon is drawing in rather than expelling.
You know what I mean?
That's the other thing, too.
Just by its own nature.
Good point, too.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Plus, it came from a vagina.
It came from a vagina.
So, I mean, that's, you know, at least there's that.
As a guy, you go, at least it came out of someone's fucking, he's to came out of the pussy.
This is better.
But the point of it is to draw.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just, its job is to fall apart.
Oh, it's going to keep falling apart.
You don't know if it was a solid turd.
No.
Could have been loose.
loose stools, we don't know.
Anyway, nothing else done.
No water check, a remove of people.
Also, showers not working properly.
Cold water comes out of most of them.
Blah, one star.
Their electric car chargers
do not work. Oh, well, that's what the place is set up for,
really, is just charge.
It's only set up to charge your car.
It's not for a community center.
Don't give a fucking, give four stars then.
Great place. Wish the car chargers
work better.
That's fine.
P&Dob, James.
Fuck.
Been waiting months for them to fix them,
even though they stupidly put them in the handicapped spots.
Oh.
It's a weird thing to do.
Oh, really taking your life in your own hands there,
whether or not you're going to get your car when you come out.
That's crazy.
That's a weird thing to do.
A handicapped electric car charger only.
How many of those exist of electric vehicles?
Pair it down to handicapped ones?
Just that.
Oh, boy.
Those are empty spots a lot of the times.
It's a lot, yeah.
But not surprised since it's owned by Metro Parks, which wouldn't give a bad taste if they paid a living wage to employees.
Well, yeah, that's true.
Which is detrimental to everyone whom wishes to visit.
Rather than train volunteers or pay a living wage to staff, they've chosen to close the pool at 3 p.m.
This is like a municipal thing, though.
This is also not a private business here.
This is a service.
3 p.m. also is about the time when afternoon storms roll in.
This is your tax dollars.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what this is.
They've decided based on market research that this is the best time for this to be open based on opportunity for it to operate properly.
Well, you would think after three they'd be open because that's when school lets out.
So you think that's where they want.
But during the summer, when you use it, kids aren't even in school.
Yeah, that's true.
might be there all day.
I'm not sure.
Derek.
Okay, one star.
My experience is bad because they kicked me and my friend out for no reason.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Okay.
Every place I ever got kicked out of, there was a fucking reason.
I've never been removed from anywhere for the exact right reason.
Never.
Nope, there's always a reason.
I hate the reason most times.
Yeah, but they got a point, though, as to say, as the other.
Always right.
Kick me out for no reason because we asked to play on the computers,
but supposedly said that we were just standing around doing nothing,
even though we just got out of the teen room,
don't recommend coming here.
Apparently you have to be doing an activity.
You can't just be standing around, digging off, which is really a real weird.
So they asked you the computers and left the teen room,
and I don't know, the computers weren't on or whatever the fuck,
and they said, what are you doing?
Nothing. We're waiting for the computers. Well, then leave.
Then get out.
Yeah.
Kick this out for no reason.
Debbie one star. This is a long one. Okay.
My daughter goes here to work out and sometimes do homework with friends after school while watching swimmers.
That's perverted.
Don't do that.
Girl can get away with that.
She was told to wait outside. No kids allowed inside after six.
I was on my way to pick her up later than usual. Traffic on a snow day.
She was standing outside freezing.
She left her coat at school.
I was upset and went outside when I saw her shaking and teary-eyed.
I asked staff why my daughter couldn't wait on the bench inside.
She is very quiet and a good kid.
He responded with no kids allowed to be in the community center after 6 p.m.
I totally understand the rules, I said, but it's 26 degrees outside and she has no coat.
Right.
She explained she was waiting for her mom to pick her up and snow traffic made her late.
He said, it's the rules.
I said she is freezing and you couldn't let her wait on the bench where it's warm.
He said no.
I feel like this conversation is really not productive.
She's giving all the, she's right.
She's giving all the reasons why she's right.
And he's just going, no.
No.
Yeah.
Once he said, it's the rules and shrugged you go, I'm not getting anything out of this guy.
And you say, fuck it.
You think you're going to come up with a scenario where he's going to go, you know what, you're right.
I am an asshole.
Is that ever going to happen?
I'm going to change the policy.
I'm going to change it all.
it was the smirk that upset me more.
She could not check back into the Boys and Girls Club because once you check out, you can't check back in.
It was sad and hurtful to know that these people are people in my community that are my neighbors.
I learned in my church and my military upbringing to love thy neighbor.
Yeah, that's what the military is always telling you love people.
Love thy neighbor?
What are you talking about?
Unless you want their land.
Unless they have oil.
What are we talking about?
Jesus Christ.
Sure, but your military upbringing did not tell you to love your neighbor.
That never happens.
They never, I don't think you can be in the Army for four years.
I doubt any of your superiors ever use the word love once.
Unless you're like doing push-ups and they go, you love it, don't you?
That would be the only time.
Or they sarcastically are loading bombs onto a plane going, we're going to love the shit out of them.
Yeah, bullshit like that.
Wow. This was a hateful place. Looks are very deceiving. I guess so.
I just think it's fucked up that they kicked a kid out in the goddamn snow. You can't do that.
It's fucking freezing. It's fucking freezing. It's literally freezing.
Literally freezing and snowing. Let them fucking sit in the entryway.
They made my child stand outside in 26 degree weather in the snow, crying and shaking, and all they can say is it's the rules.
I am a small business owner. This isn't a small business, though.
Nope. No. That's the thing. I'm looking to make a price.
profit here. If a child in your, if a child, if your child ever came into my business cold
wanting to wait to be picked up, I would never in my life turn the child away. Oh, but wait,
our yearly dues are paid. We're members of the community center. It just isn't right.
She's making a whole lot of this about her. Yes. And if there was a child that was cold,
I'd make an Instagram video for clicks.
Yeah, exactly.
Let that child sit in my foyer.
I'd make them hot chocolate.
I'm surprised the mother didn't do that too.
I'm surprised she didn't do a lap.
See her daughter sitting out there and I was like,
oh shit, let me get my phone.
And then circled the parking lot and showed up and pulled up like you're just pulling up.
My daughter is shaking and crying in the snow.
Until that kid slips and goes, why'd you go around the parking lot again?
What the fuck you out there for?
I'm free.
Why are you driving a circle, mom?
It's cold out here.
Look, shut up.
Shut up.
There, you bitch.
Shut up.
This is for my followers.
Duck boy gives one star.
Worst place I've been.
Never.
Worst place.
Yeah.
I've ever been, yeah.
The people here are extremely dismissive overall.
I'm having second thoughts about coming back here.
Yeah, it's the worst place you've ever been.
Why would you go back there?
Second thought at all.
That's like being like, yeah, I just did like 20 years in prison.
Worst place ever.
I'm not sure if I'm going back.
I don't think I'm ever going to try that place again.
I don't think so.
Matia, one star.
It was supposed to be a tip.
It was supposed to, what?
It was supposed to tip to be.
I think it's supposed to be.
The word tip, it's supposed to tip be.
I'm like, what does that mean?
It's supposed to be a community center for the community,
but it ended up being a boys and girls club also.
So time and space is limited as it is, as it being.
a community center since it is being used as a boys and girls club too.
By the way, they use two, the number two, to mean also.
I like boys too, man.
Yep, there is no punctuation here at all, by the way.
If my kids are not involved with the boys and girls club, they are not allowed to go in
the community center during the week hours.
It's not fair.
It was supposed to be a community center before he was up, boys and girls club also.
Oh, boy.
Great.
Then I like this one after all that.
one star, meh.
Me.
Me.
That interested.
Yeah.
And then finally, combat, one star, being taken over by the homeless, needles everywhere.
Oh, my God.
Going to cost a lot to clean up when it reopens, because this was five years ago during COVID.
So, yeah, while it was abandoned, I'm sure junkies probably hung out on the property and shot up.
That's what happens.
Probably, yeah.
That's it.
So we've done a lot, let's say this week.
Sure have.
We've had tacos that were terrible.
We've figured out that teaspoons are a measurement for lettuce, which we weren't sure about there.
Yeah, we've gone swimming.
We've gone to the Netherlands, for God's sake.
We saw where Gouda comes from.
It's been a fun fucking day.
So there you go, everybody.
Thank you so much for joining us today on this crazy episode of your stupid opinions.
We will have much more next week, obviously.
Definitely head over to shut up and give me murder.
to get all the info and all the merchandise that comes with this show also.
And you can check out our other shows to Crime in Sports, which is hilarious.
And of course, Small Town Murder, which you can listen to or every listen to podcasts.
And you can also watch on Netflix, which is pretty goddamn cool.
So do that.
Keep coming back and hanging out with us.
Tell all your friends about your stupid opinions, rate, review, and think about us.
That's all.
Just think about us.
That's all we ask of you.
Every time you have guita or a teaspoon of lettuce.
I'd like you to think of our two faces, smiling warmly at you.
Thank you so much, everybody.
Have a good one.
See you next week.
Bye.
