So do that. Come there, visit us, come see some live shows. And that said, let's find out more opinions. Let's do this. Let's get right to the Palisades Park Swim Club where we left off here. This was in Palisades Park, New Jersey. And people were complaining about massive amounts of geese shit.

Yeah. That was the main complaint here was a remarkable amount of geese shit and cloudy waters that look more like... Gross. More like semen than marine water. So, gross. So let's start out with a one-star review from Tangier. Okay, Tangier one-star, very dirty and a waste of money. I went yesterday.

The kitty pool was closed and the other pools have bugs and filth in them. Well, there was probably poop in the kitty pool. say, yeah, probably poop in there. Geese or human, we're not sure. There was poop. And filth, your guess is as good as mine. That could be anything. That could be poop.

That could be other things. Who knows? Bugs in the water. If the water is supporting life, that's a problem. Shit should die in there. There should have a lot of chemicals. There should be no bugs in there. Especially a public pool.

Yeah. When you go underwater in a public pool and come up, your eye should burn. You shouldn't be able to see. Yeah. You should be blind. it from that shit. It should burn. Don't even get me started with the showers that don't work. Dirty and are broken. So don't get me started, but they're dirty and broken in case you were wondering. Why bother even if you, it didn't even sound like he went swimming, so why bother

showering? You're supposed to shower before anyway, right? Yeah. In a public pool, I would hope so. So your shit flex don't get all over the place. We don't know how good your asshole high Gene is. No one's sure of it. I don't want to find out either. Jacqueline one star. Really dislike this place. I like that for summer. Really dislike this place. Super weird, unwelcoming vibes and so many restrictive rules. No eating, no drinking, no jumping, old folks yelling at kids to stay out of their area. Get out, get away for me, kids. Little water aerobics, folks. Yeah. Oh, you know they have those clubs there, a bunch of old ladies.

Lifeguard wouldn't let my kids wear goggles on the diving board in case they fell off into the water. So what would we get them? That is the, in parentheses. I don't know what that means even. Seems like you're wearing goggles if you're going to go in the water. Right. Well, and the kids jumping off the diving board, you just hang on to them as you jump. You've done that a million times, right? Yeah, exactly. I don't understand that. Yeah. You do that. that you hold on to him. Plus the water it was dirty and despite all the rules

no one said a word to the folks smoking at the table next to the kids playground and leaving the cigarette butts all over the ground for the little kids to step on. There's shit on the ground. There's shit on the ground. Yeah. The cigarette butts are not a concern when

there's actual poop around. In the triage of everything here, it goes poop cigarettes. That's... Likely. Yeah. Yeah.

It's descending. One and two. Honestly, gross and a total bummer. Go somewhere else if you're looking for a fun day. I don't like this lady because she said bummer and vibes in the same review. What's weird about an unwelcome? It's a pool. It's a public pool.

You shouldn't feel welcome there. No. You should feel like you get in there, escape the heat for a little while, and then leave before you catch a disease. And if you go home, I'm imposing and lucky. Everybody suspects I'm pissing in here. Anytime I see somebody in a public pool, I go, that person's pissing. If they stop for half a second, it's because they're pissing. They need to stop to piss.

And if they look happy at all, it's because they're pissing. Victoria One Star, very rude staff. And once you go in, you can't come back out. I left my sunscreen cream in the car, but I can't go back to get it. However, they do not lend it out either. No, they're not going to have sunscreen for you. Why'd you forget it? You need to bring it in on the first go-around.

I can't go out and come in so I don't understand why bracelets are being handed out. Won't come again. Okay. So she's saying, yeah, if you give me a bracelet, then I should be able to come back and go out and come back in. With the bracelets, probably to keep kids from, like, jumping over the fence and sneaking in, I would assume. That's all the good thing. Right. That's the proof that you paid.

But the exit and come back in is like, then you can go out there. And what? I guess the eating and the drinking. I don't know what would be the problem with them going out. That's what I don't understand. I could see like you can't come back two hours from now. But if you're going to your car and coming back, are we really that big of an operation that we can't remember who that person was that went out and came back? Like, that's just silly. Maybe they're going out to drink beers. What did somebody do in the past that made this a thing? There's a response from the owner. So let's find out here. Okay. Hi, Victoria. Upon entry of the swim club, we have all rules. listed, including the first rule that all exits are final. That's the first rule. First rule.

You step foot outside that gate. You're fucking out. I don't care if you did it by accident. We're closing it behind you. That's wild. What is that? Wow. We make sure each person who enters is aware of all the rules.

We even personally explain this rule and explain to get anything you may need now. Okay. bracelets are handed out to distinguish members from Daly Pass guests. This is a safety rule, and we work hard to ensure that our swim club is a safe and fun place in order to keep it that way. The rules must be strictly enforced. Specifically, that number one. Number one. It just sounds like there's no funnel out at this pool.

Yeah. This is a pool for quiet contemplation while in water. That's all it is. And don't you dare leave. Don't you dare step out that fucking gate. Once you're out, you're out. It's like a cult. It's like a gang or something in this place.

What did somebody do? Did somebody leave and bring a gun in? I don't know. What are we doing? They jump you out when you leave so you can't come back. It's how it is. It's blood and blood out in this pool, baby. Daniel 1 star, worst place.

Not worst. Worst place. Worst place. Worst place. I went there with my family and they tried charging me $20 for my one-year-old baby like an adult. Right. Yeah. manager said he can go in, but he can't touch the water or they would ask us to leave.

You keep that fucking one year. If that one year old has a moment of joy, you're getting charged $20. I'm sorry. We can't have anybody getting freebie happiness in here. And $20 a person is crazy. That's excessive. Yeah. That's so steep.

I'm making a fucking day out of that shit if it's $20. I'm going to be there a while. I'm going to be there a while. $20. Yeah, $20. I guess the no food or drink policy is how you get people to leave. Because they get thirsty and hungry. And don't come back.

And don't come back. Once they're out, they're out. So that's it. That's how you do it. It's even a, it's a little baby. How they charging $20 for a baby that can't even walk. They stealing people money like this. Yes.

They stealing people money, Jimmy. Like that. Like this. Even said the major said they have to, whoa, even said the major, I think they might mean manager. I'm not sure what it says major. The major said they have to charge $20 to people one year and up. Like this is insane. City has to do something with thus place.

With thus place, Jimmy. He got real 1800s on us. Thus place is the worst. Don't you understand? Thus place is the worst. They're stealing people's money. One year and older gets charged. That's, is this a private place?

Yeah, yeah. It's a private, it's a public pool, but it's a, yeah, no. It's summer. Kids want to have fun. I agree. Yeah, okay. That's just a random statement at the end there. It doesn't matter.

Let's see, WT one star. This pool isn't very clean. Bathrooms look worse. That's how you look. That's how, by the way, you use. That's worse. Yeah. Worse is a comparative word.

You have to have something to compare it to. And honestly, the food there doesn't look promising. Okay, they sell food. That's why you can't bring it in because they sell it. Yeah, that makes sense. Fries that small. Sometimes it took the food 30 minutes. They don't even allow snorkels and baby floats.

Nope, your kid's got a swim or drown. It's a sink or swim kind of joint we run here. And a snorkel is not good. You can't have people. There's people in very skimpy clothes. You can't be just swimming around under the water. Cruising around at pubic bone level. That's not okay.

Where nobody can see what you're doing? No. Just chilling at crotch level going all around there. There's no turtles to see. Yeah. Hey, crotch jaws. Why don't you fucking take it over to the Snack? But you come up for a breath.

Yeah. How about that? The lifeguards say the young will get hurt. They might get hurt, but 100% will get hurt without the float. Yeah, if they can't swim, that's a problem. Why don't you got to the kiddie pool? you ask, I guess go to the kiddie pool. Yeah. Because the pool's dirty.

Yeah. Yeah, because it's filled with urine. Yeah. Every time I hear a kitty pool, that's a piss pool. As soon as a kid's skin touches water, everything comes out of them. It just flows out. They can't even help it. They don't even think about it. It just comes out. Naomi, one star. I used to love this place, but unfortunately, during my last visit there, there was a lifeguard talking with his friend, continuously making racial slurs and racist remarks. What?

That's even worse from like a podium eight feet in the air, too. That makes it, it's one thing to be, you know, ground level. Yeah. With all that white shit on your nose. It's one thing to be ground level and making hurling racial slurs. But to do it from up high like that just makes it so much worse. Up high chest naked with a bullhorn is really a... Unhigh.

It's insulting. When I told a worker that this lifeguard kept saying the N-word, they didn't tell the manager and didn't do anything at all. As I was leaving, I heard the supposed manager make a racist remark about Guatemalans. It's very specific. What? Oh, God, that's very specific. Welcome to New Jersey. I was going to say, this is northern New Jersey.

I mean, New Jersey's a wild place. Like I said, I used to love this place, but evidently they think it's okay to say racist things. Guatemalans are apparently on the table now. Chris one star. If I could give zero stars, I would. He did it. Yes, Chris.

He got it. But Google is forcing me to give at least one. The staff was very rude. They went through our bags with no gloves on. Okay. You're searching, like upon entry, make sure you're not. You're supposed to wear gloves? I mean, I guess.

I don't need you touch in anything I have. I don't know. Put some lightly used tampons in there. They'll change that policy pretty quick. First time dude grabs a fucking used tampon. He's putting gloves on from now on. I'll tell you that. He'll start gloving up.

You can solve his problem right now. Tell him I took that out a few minutes ago. Yeah. Just had to stick a new one in him before I jump in the water. You know what I mean? I did it in the car. Didn't want to waste. It's a fresh one for you.

Jesus, I didn't know I'm saving it for later, like a captured gum or a cigarette you put out and smells like burnt peanut butter. It's only an eighth full. I can use it again. I can use it. I go up to this line. See you out here? I don't know what tampons work, but yeah. Do they have a full line?

That's what I was picturing. I'm picturing a full line in there. Yeah. I figure you use it until it's uncomfortable. 3,000 miles or so. I don't know how long it lasts. I mean, that toilet thing has the amount of flushes that it can be used. I don't see it on tampons with a timer.

Do they buzz? Maybe like a turkey thing, like you cook a butterball, the little thing pops up. Maybe it pops out of your vagina. Does the string get longer? I think that's it. They need one of those. Pop and you go, who shit, I got to go to the bathroom. I don't know.

Are you hanging out with women? you just here, you're like, what's going on here? Y'all have really synced up. Wow, you guys, when you say synced,

you mean synced. Oh my God, okay. Members were allowed to bring in food, but guests could not even bring in a bottle of water. Yeah, because we don't know you. We were treated very disrespectfully,

and the line was over an hour long to get in. We were members in the past, but we'll never come back again. I do like in Arizona, they have a lot. that if you have a sealed bottle of water, no one can not allow you to take it. You can take a sealed bottle of water

in a ballpark, even though they're selling $12 bottles of water. You can take a sealed bottle of water literally any inside any business in Arizona, which I think is awesome. Except an airport. Except the airport. Well, you can take it into the airport,

but not for the pre-check. Not their security. Yeah, if you have a sealed bottle of water, if you went through the trouble of building a water factory to manufacture this bottle to come out like a bomb. You really did your fucking homework. And you know what? Maybe you deserve

the fucking whatever at that point. If you sat in the parking lot and melted that cap back together. Somehow. You're amazing. Without it being seen that it's melted. That's the other thing. Edward, one star. Honestly, the worst experience, does anybody know

what comparative words are? Compared to regular I don't think I ever realized that that's an epidemic in this country. Oh, it's such an epidemic. Worse and worst. It's a lot. People don't know the difference. They really don't. It's worse than they're there and there. Oh, it's, that's, forget it with that.

That thing is crazy. I can't even deal. And the yours, I can't deal with people. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. It's not that difficult. It really isn't. It's not being grammar Nazis or anything. That is so fucking basic. A third grader should know that shit. Like I expect a 10-year-old to know the difference. Spell it. You are if that's what you're going to do. Please.

You know what I mean? Yes. Otherwise, you look... So dumb. Very dumb. So honestly, the worst, and they put it in all caps, too. Worse. So they really drew attention to their stupidity.

The worst experience ever. Manager was very rude. Old lady with white hair who refused to give her name. What's your name, bitch? That's probably why I was asked. Also, the staff was extremely unprofessional, specifically the young males who oversee the pool. The pool.

I was told to get the F out. in front of my wife and son. You get the fuck out of here right now. They probably said everybody out of the pool and then you didn't move. So they're going to have to tell you. And it's New Jersey and F bomb is going to get thrown in there. That's not considered that rude there. It really isn't.

Trust me. The fuck out. Yeah. Hey, get the fuck out of the pool. It's like that's just meaning come on already. That means hurry off. Yeah. It's just a come on.

It's just a little bonus word. Mattu's one star. Our food took way too long to make two and a half hours. Two and a half hours. For what? Two and a half hours. Nothing takes two and a half hours.

Yeah, you're not smoking a brisket. Let's go. You can make Thanksgiving dinner in less than two and a half hours. Did they come out with a fucking turkey and cranberry sauce? What happened? Also, one of the staff said when I asked her

when the food will be done, quote, the burgers are on the grill. If you want them now, I'll give them to you raw. Wow. Jesus, very polite. One more thing, she tells this to everyone who asks how much longer they have to work. Iris, one star. If I could give zero stars, I would have.

Close enough. I'll give it to you. Worst customer service ever. I asked why I couldn't bring water, the basic human right. Is it a right? Your basic human right. And they said I could just get out. They said I could just get out the way I came in.

Well, you can turn right around, take that water out to the parking lot. It's out that way. Anyway, it thinks that water's a basic human right. Basic human right. If it was a right, then that shit wouldn't be for sale.

No, there would be coolers on every street corner just full of bottles of water for you to take. Basically human right. Basically human rights. The difference between rights and needs is vast, lady. Huge. Paid $100 for this mediocre pool. And by the way, listen to what they're charging for water.

And to have to pay $1 for a bottle of water on top of a dollar, they're not even gouging you. No. And I haven't even making money on it. A dollar. Well, they're probably getting a Costco case for, you know, $8 and selling them for a dollar apiece. Then you got to go get it and all that shit. They're not made. This is not a moneymaker.

No. Water racket here. So a dollar. Pay a kid to slang it. They did. They're breaking even on the water. Probably. The water's a loss leader.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what it is. To have to pay a dollar for a bottle of water on top of the root and unfriendly customer service. Also, the pool doesn't allow umbrellas, but doesn't provide them either. So they don't have umbrellas. What a good policy for people to get sunburned? Okay.

Response from the owner. That's our policy. You will burn. Response from the owner. Our rules are listed on our website. Did you check the website? Did you check the website? Is there a rule that you have to be sunburned too?

Let me ask a question. Did you check the website? And outside the pool entrance. We have plenty of shade and umbrellas attached to the chair are allowed. We do not allow anything in our grounds to keep them neat and clean. Okay. Also, in a windstorm, that becomes. a fucking projectile.

Oh, you're going to kill everybody. You can't just bring umbrellas. You can't just bring umbrellas everywhere. Okay, we're close to the end of these. All right. Red Eye, one star. Me and my girl went there to have a nice day. Took her out for a classy day at the public pool.

You know. Costs it fucking $40 this date. No shit. Me and my girl went there to have a nice day and went for a swim. Come back out and something just doesn't seem right. There is no punctuation in this at all. So I'm going to read it like it sounds. like it reads.

Something just doesn't seem right. We feel very oily and disgusting and had a smell of vomit. We noticed the water is kind of milky and everything feels greasy. And we were wondering when they were going to clean the pool. So they decide to clean it with a net or a set or set of escorting everyone out and clean it thoroughly. I will not go back there to waste $15 for a dirty pool. Yeah, you came out with everybody else's lotion on you. That's why it's disgusting.

Or vomit. Because vomit does that too. It oils up. It's so gross. Ugh, Arrian one star. If I could rate this place a negative 10, I would. Negative 10.

Negative 10. At that point, you might as well say negative 27. You should pick numbers out of your asses at that point. Doesn't matter. Based on the staff's attitude, along with the supervisor, very disrespectful, and they said you're not welcome here anymore just because we decided to leave. I doubt it's just because you. were done for the day.

And don't come back. And by the way, they fucked up your, they fucked up a few different things here that we were just talking about. Okay, we'll end it there. Wow. So we went to a trashy New Jersey pool. Yeah. And we got exactly what we expected and paid for.

Exactly. Covered in other people's vomit, centen lotion, and children's urine. So we're covered. So let's go somewhere, somehow even trashier, everyone. Let's go. You ready for this? Let's go down to the Waffle House.

Yeah. It's Waffle House time. Waffle House in Dublin, Georgia. Oh, boy. Which is in the fucking middle of nowhere. I believe that. It is not even on like a main highway. It doesn't look like.

It's on like a highway, but it's not even like a big interstate. Like it is the middle of fucking nowhere this place. Because of small town murder, I have found out. I didn't know. But everywhere that's not Atlanta, or Savannah in Georgia is named after somewhere else. Yeah. And also it's the middle of nowhere.

If you're outside of either of those places. Yeah, there's nothing else there. There's nothing else there. So this place is at 21, 22 Veterans Boulevard, Dublin, Georgia, and just like Ireland, because like you said, all named after, yeah, we got Rome that we did. We've all been different places. Athens. They love taking names of, like, major, like, capitals of, like, really nice places.

Nice places that have, like, histories of. of like, you know, democracy or like education or things like that. And then they stick them in the middle of rural Georgia. So weird. And even Georgia, the name alone of the state is somewhere else. Somewhere else. This is open 24 hours. Yeah.

As well. It says doesn't accept reservations. Imagine making a reservation at the rural Waffle House. Yeah. I'd like a table for two, please. Hey, this is Tater Tot coming down the freeway. I'm currently in Athens. Currently in Athens, about to pass through Rome and on my way to Dublin.

I'll be there right around 8 o'clock falling into town. Two questions. Can I get a reservation and is there a smoky on the way? Is there a bear in the air, is my question. What a mess. Okay. Kenneth, five stars. He got in under the Smoky's radar here. Our food was served up fast with a warm, friendly smile.

Ty was our waitress, a delightful person who kept us laughing while being very attentive to our needs. I thought she was hilarious. Jerking them off under the table over here. The Waffle House was busy this morning, but service was still fast. Plenty of parking, lots of items that they serve are not on the menu. For example, T-bone steak. and omelets to name a couple. Who the...

You're going to the Waffle House saying, give me a T-bone. Really? What's the Waffle House secret menu? Well, today we got T-Bones. We got T-Bones. Why wouldn't you put the most expensive thing on the menu?

Who hides their expensive, quickly decaying fucking inventory? Yeah. You're rotting meat. We also have a shrimp scampy special tonight that we're not telling anyone about.

There's a lobster tank in the back of the kitchen. No one can see. Did we imagine that? We got a lot of aging caviar. Yeah, what the fuck? We have muscles that we got during the first Bush administration.

These are good. Okay, so they give the atmosphere three out of five stars on here, though. Everything else is five stars. Jessica, three stars. Servers all on their phones while mountains of dirty dishes sat on tables. Upon arrival, we had to wait for a table to be cleaned,

even though the restaurant was empty except for a bar patron. The floor was disgusting. The servers all acted like customers couldn't hear them while loudly discussing their personal income tax refunds. You had the Waffle House experience. You went to a Waffle House. This is not, yeah, this is not Ruth's Chris. This is not.

This is a Waffle House. Although they do have T-Bone. Yeah, apparently. I just found that out. Just didn't know that one. Here is Bear, three stars. Food was as expected. That's the thing that it should be.

It was Waffle House. Greasy. Server was good. Restroom was terribly kept and reeked of urine. Well, that's where I'll let urine goes. You bet. It's traveler urine, too. It's concentrated.

That is time-traveled piss. Yeah. That piss is from absolutely. So it came all the way from Athens. Do you understand how long of a drive that is? Needed some immediate attention. Otherwise, as far as the good service was expected for a waffle house. Service was as expected for a waffle house. Right. Three stars. There you go. Yeah. Dirty bathroom. All right. Richard, one star. The food was pretty good and the place was busy. But the roaches crawling over the silverware took something away from the ambiance. Oh, did it? I almost blew out the candles on my tabletop.

I really did. I took the fresh flowers from the vase in the middle of the table and I threw them on the floor. I said, lilies again? This is bullshit. Cockroach is on the silverware. In daylight. Do you understand? That is crazy.

If you see it, if you see it, there are so many here. Imagine that every piece of meat they take out there. to shake roaches off of it. That is horrifying. They batting them off the grill and that grill's hot. Ping. Well, they've evolved. Waffle house roaches can evolve.

Their little feet can take up to like, I think, 1,400 degrees now. They can actually skitter across a waffle house. They can go right across it now, I feel like they have evolved. AJ, one star. It was a very disappointing experience. I would never say that after going to the little. Waffle House, by the way. I would expect anything.

If I got punched in the face and got food with a roach in it, I would go, I went to the Waffle House. Yeah. I've seen an inordinate amount of videos of the staff fist fighting. Oh. It is unbelievable what they will throw down about. Well, I think that's part of the hiring process, actually. They throw you in a pit with like two people and you have to fight them.

off. Well, they've got the application and then they've got that punching bag game back there in the interview room. You come out, spit a tooth out and they're like, I think she's the one. You're good for the afternoon shift. Start Friday. You've got to set the high score to get your job. That's what you've got to

do. There were no clean tables when we arrived. There was not a lot of people in there when we first got there just that the tables were full of dirty dishes. Right. Had to several minutes before we could get anybody's attention. Basically, they ignored us until another couple, they must be regulars, said,

hey, you need to take care of this couple over here. And they still took their sweet dittily time. Sweet dittling. Is this Ned Flanders writing this review? What the fuck is happening? Sweet dittily time? Oh, Jesus Christ. What the fuck?

There were things that were supposed to be on the menu, which they did not. not have on hand. But they have T-bones. You bet. They kept locking the front door for whatever reason. That would frighten me. Now we're in Bronx tail. Now you just can't leave.

I don't like this. I feel like the Waffle House staff is going to wop my ass now. This is terrified. You will sit until we say you're done. Yeah, that is terrible. Next time we have to visit, we will most likely go elsewhere. Uh-huh. Maybe they had like a cereal dine and dash or

there and they're like, well, don't let this motherfucker leave until he pays. A lot of reviews from this place, too, were saying that, like, people that were driving through were like, the regulars were getting served, but they wouldn't even talk to us. Oh. Like, it's real weird. Like, you need, like, a nod from a regular to go, yeah, you can go wait on those people. You can get them, their ash frowns now. Very strange that they, like, there's some sort of gatekeeping going on at this place.

I haven't eaten it one since that time that, uh, did you eat? with me at the one in Nashville? Was it you that was with me? I think it was. It was that first time we went. When we stayed in those really shitty, I stayed in the Likingsetam. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a bad place.

And there was a waffle house right there. So I was like, I'm doing it. Yeah. And it was the worst food I've ever had. I like the chocolate pie they have. It's chocolate pudding in a pie show. It's fucking good. You can't go wrong there.

Can't fuck about. No. And if you tell them to burn your hash browns, you can get away with that's what i told them and james boy were they oh they were not chewy anymore oh no you put them in your mouth and it fell apart like bacon oh god that's scary it was not good well this person had a similar experience amy one star i will not be coming back the food was almost burnt very greasy and then in parentheses i expected to be greasy but that was too greasy yeah like even that is the other part too it's very

Shockingly greasy. The waitress was a mess, food on her face, and she acted like she didn't want to be there. Was your waitress like seven years old? Was she a child? Was your waitress a toddler? She really needed a nap. She had a teddy graham stuck to her cheek. And she had a fucking swollen diaper.

Yeah, a big fat diaper on her. Had food on her face and acted like she didn't. want to be there. Not once did we get checked on or see any type of smile. The place was disgusting. Food on her face. Food on her face. And there's, she'll be back. Don't worry. She's not done eating either. Nope. Old Waffle Face will be back in a later here. Donald One Star. Jesus, this is a long one. This is funny. I was in there on December 25th. Okay. You mean, Christmas? I know. Yeah, that's what I mean. Unless you're Jewish, you should go hang yourself post-paced.

Yeah. And if you're Jewish, go get Chinese food and watch a movie like the rest of them. Like a respectable goddamn Jewish person. What's wrong with you? What are you doing at a Waffle House on Christmas Day? In rural Georgia. I'm going to, I would bet a million dollars. He's not Jewish, actually. I'll bet two million. He's divorced. If he's in a, I think so too. Yeah. Because that'll come up.

But I was in there. I like it. I say on December 25th, not Christmas Day. Nope. On December 25th. I was completely ignored after getting my initial cup of coffee. I figured that was due to it being Christmas Day. Uh-huh.

Why would that be, if they're open, why would they be like, you only get one cup on Christmas? It's usually when everybody's at least half nice. I went in the next day. This guy eats at Waffle House on every day. Fucking contiguous calendar dates. This is terrifying. Don't tell your cardiologist that. Holy shit.

They're going to be like, you went, wait a second. Hold on. Hold on. Twice in a row. You can't do that. Went in the next day, December 26th, with my nine-year-old daughter. See, he didn't get her on Christmas Day. No.

She was with the X on Christmas Day. He had the same server. Ordered a waffle, a kid's soda, and a coffee. The total should have been $8. Oh, boy, here we go. $4.75 for the. the waffle, a dollar for the kids drink and $2.25 for the coffee. The server charged $2.25 for the kids drink.

I showed her the menu where it says kids beverages $1. She argued and said that since she brought my child a large glass and my child had drank it, then the price is $225. She drank an adult-sized Coke, so fuck that kid. Imagine you order like a small meal. they bring you a bigger meal and they're like, well, you're eating it. So you're paying for, I didn't order this, though. She brought me this.

I said specifically, I asked for a kid's soda. She then said the child had to have a kid's meal to get the kid's beverage price. I asked to speak to the manager and was denied. They're like, there's no manager here. A manager. A manager. Are you crazy? I don't even know who takes, who collects the money.

This place just runs. man. I just want you to understand. Anytime anybody says, can I speak to a manager, that is a challenge at the Waffle House. Oh, yeah. That's what you got to. Yeah. That is put them up at the Waffle House.

This is just a ghost ship Waffle House. We don't know how it works. It just keeps floating. No managers. Food. Food magically appears and the money goes out of the register. We don't know how it happens. And then you challenged us to a fist fight.

And then you challenge the waitress to a fist fight? Did I? You did. You asked to speak to a manager. I was threatened with police. The cook even insinuated that she would come outside and throw hands. That's what I'm talking about. The female Waffle House cook is going to offer to fight you.

You asked for a manager, I'll be right out. Kick you and your nine-year-old's ass at the same time. I love a place where the female cook is willing to fight a man named Donald. That's excellent. That is pirate parlay right there. Holy shit. This is amazing. This is unacceptable.

I have no problem paying a bill when the bill is rung up properly according to menu prices. I enjoy my times at Waffle House wherever I'm at, but this, not at this one. I will not return to this Waffle House or any that are going to try this same thing. I've been told one other time that in order for the drink to be a dollar, my child had to have a kid's meal. I've asked corporate... What? This guy waited on hold to once in a while save $1.25.

Meanwhile, the kid wants the whole drink. Yeah. Yeah. And every other single Waffle House manager I've ever talked to, and that is not the case. Okay. Wow. But he gives the food five out of five stars. It's great food.

Cook that'll throw hands. That waffle is amazing. The service one out of five. But the atmosphere, three out of five. Okay, that's hilarious. Dorothy, one star. Restaurant was dirty. Waitress had food on her face.

It happened to him. She is. I caught Jimmy in mid-drink on that one. This lady never washes her face. And this is from a different time. It's hilarious. She just always has food on her face. Our order was messed up two different times.

Bacon was burnt. Sandwich was too greasy. and the waffle was pitiful. The batter was too runny. It was very disappointed and will not go back. Okay. Leon, one star. The food was fine.

I noticed the waitress greeted everyone that entered with a smile and a hello. I mean, sure she had some hash browns on her chin, but that's fine. Just wasn't a very pleasant experience. I gave a poor rating due to housekeeping, with a little extra care toward cleanliness, would be a tremendous improvement. Like the old saying goes, cleanliness is next to godliness. That is like it.

Yeah, that's what it said. It's exactly what they said. Jackson, one star, went after a football game because what else is there to do in Dublin? That's honest. There must be a college there, huh? I don't know.

It might have been a high school game. Maybe, yeah. Who knows? Sat there for over an hour with that, but it might have like southern Georgia tech fucking, you know, A&M or some shit. Sat there for over an hour without anyone coming and taking to us other than, I guess talking to us, other than when I went to the counter to ask for service and I was told that, quote, they didn't know where the waiter was.

Sat there for how long? Sat there for over an hour. How in the fuck do you do that? Yeah, I'm not sitting there. I'm gone. The whole experience better not take over an hour. No. Everything.

I'm out of here. Out of there. They didn't know where the waiter was. That's another question. We don't have a waiter. We have two people that are dummies. Absolutely. They literally could have still taken my order because there was no one there except for my group.

The waiter only took after our orders then disappeared and no one got food and most of us didn't get our drink. He came out, brought like three drinks for a table of nine, and then took the order and then left and never came back and never got any food. That's amazing. That is awesome. That is a waffle house. That is a waffle house. That is a waffle house. All right.

One star from Wolfram. Okay. They stole my sausage and bacon. Stole. They stole it. I don't know. Somebody did. I'm not sure.

The cockroaches on the silverware? The cockroaches? The employees? The lady with food on her face. Was there a lady with sausage and bacon on her face? Because that could be her. The sausage and bacon face could be her. By the way, there was a million reviews about roaches.

Just a million roach reviews. That was like one of the number one said, you know, tags in the Google reviews. I can't believe that any restaurant on this fucking planet has a single roach knowing that that is the epitome of a bad restaurant. If we see it, we're not coming back. It's filth. That's, it's filth. It's filth and vermin. We're out. Fuck that. And there's one in daylight. I'm not coming back here ever. Never. Never again. I'll run screaming from that. I'll leave my food behind. I'm not, no. I'm telling every business around it to exterminate because you have a guy, you had a neighbor that's going to bring them to you. Fucking, it's going to be awful.

Yeah. So they stole my sausage and bacon, high price two star food if they give you all you paid for. Okay. All right. Here we go. Jason one star, October 15th, 2021. Unfortunately, I had to click at least one star to leave a report. That's not, you fucked it all up, dude.

He started it like a law and order, though. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I like that. October 15th, 2021. Dateline. The midst, the midst repulsive, I guess most is what they're going for, but they stuck an I and a D in there. Nice.

The most repulsive and disgusting place over ever, over every been to. Oh. I've ever been to. This person is so furious. And then dot dot, all caps, period. Two exclamation points. They're furious. I'm so angry.

banging this away on their phone as they're walking to their car. So many roaches that they were moving the trash and food that the waitress was stepping over. No fucking way. That is, that's horrifying. If they turn into a being where they work together to move things, that is, it's gone. Yeah. It's gotten well beyond. Carrying a plate like it's a fucking a casket, like they're pallbearers.

They're wearing aprons and shit. It's too much. They've really had it. I'm leaving. I'm out of there. Okay. Wow. They were also on the counter.

When confronted about how long it took to get our coffee, how nasty the pot was, and how many roaches. You still want their coffee? What are you doing? What do you think's in the filter? What's wrong with you? We saw, how many roaches we saw, she said, oh, I had to go to the bathroom. I don't work at this store. I got a shit.

Huh? I don't work at the store? I got a shit. I don't work here. I just came here to shit. That's all. I just come shit up the bathroom So I don't get my home bathroom dirty

Oh, that's amazing We had to leave We have video and pictures That we will be sending to the health department And they're gonna go, it's a Waffle House, bro, sorry You walked into Waffle House? And you expected less. Lynn one star, no greeting as we entered.

We had to get our own menu, the music was too loud, The waitresses were singing and dancing And then the emoji of the chick in the big dress dancing. Yeah, Salsa dance lady? Yeah, with like a red dress on.

Yeah. She looks like she's having a great time, which makes me have no sympathy for this person. You're like, they were having fun. They were dancing to music. It sounds like a great place. Showing joy. What does she say, though? Very unprofessional.

Disgusting. Disgastien. Disgraceful. William One star. She did give the food five stars, though. She gave out of five. William One Star. I stopped going because of the third visit that roaches walked across the counter where my food was.

The third time. Third time. Not once, not twice. Thrice. This motherfuckerucker saw roaches twice and was like, I'm giving them another try. You know what? It could have been a bad day. It rained last night.

Maybe they came from the sewers. I don't know. Okay. I called the server over and she squashed the roach beside. my plate of food. No, she didn't. I got up and left. Yeah.

I'd have to burn that place to the ground at that point. I'd have to go outside. It's beyond repair. Right? What are we going to do? This is a public service. And then in the ratings of the individual breakdowns, she gave four out of five to the food, four out of five to the service, which I mean, she did squash the roach for you.

So that was thoughtful of her. It could be considered service. and the atmosphere, you know, where roaches are, four out of five. What is going on? I don't understand it. And then Waffle House replied. What? They replied, which I'm shocked at that.

This certainly does not meet our standards for food safety as your health and well-being are our top priority. At Waffle House, your health and well-being are their top priority. Where you can get deep-fried chicken. With gravy on top of it for breakfast. At three in the morning while next to a meth addict. Because your well-being and health are our top priority. Well, you can still smoke indoors. Yeah.

And served by a man with open sores on his face. Don't you want that? But you can't tell if it's open sores or food. No one can tell. Yeah, maybe that's what it was. Is that gravy or a weeping sore? What are you got? There's that dripping?

What is happening? Kevin one star. Yeah. I won't curse. Okay. It's a good way to start. But the service is horrible. I'll say it for you.

The service is fucking horrible, Kevin, since you're too much of a pussy to curse. It's fucking shit. Yeah, it's fucking shit because I assume you're a pedophile because you won't curse. But the service is horrible. We waited nearly 20 minutes and at least three tables were finished eating and everyone refused to clear it and seed us. and the employees were all looking like seat yourselves. Our waitress had a disgusting attitude. I do not tip that kind of service.

We will not be back. When you use your tip as a weapon. That's ridiculous. You're a piece of shit. You're a piece of shit. You went there. Don't go back if you don't like it. There it is.

See, 20% and leave and don't come back. That's all. The fuck out of there. Get out. It's Waffle House. You think these people working there are making a ton of fucking money? No.

They're not. It's drunks. Sarah, one star. Cook had a very bad attitude. Well, yeah, she'll throw hands. Don't ask for a manager. Don't fuck with her, yeah. Cook had a very bad attitude, wanted to cook food while he wanted.

Wait, there's no punctuation. Cook had a very bad attitude wanted to cook food why he wanted to after you tell him way he wanted to. Oh, boy. You asked him a way to cook it, and he did it all on his. own. He didn't give a fuck, apparently. We don't make anything medium rare here. We make it all brown.

Someone complained about a medium rare steak being wrong, and I'm like, you ordered medium rare at the Waffle House and expected to get that. You get brown. That's what you get. See that? Gray. That's what you get. You want it gray or dark gray?

Which one? Which shade of elephant would you like your steak to be? I would make it gray or black? your ginger. Yeah, we can make it black. Trust me, I can do that. Okay, so we've swam, we've eaten. We didn't swim and then eat.

We did it the right way. Now we need to go somewhere and have some fun because it's been frustrating. Let's go see some live music, Jimmy. What do you say? Where at? You love doing that. Let's do it. The Water Street Music Hall.

Where is that? Here, which, by the way, that Waffle House had four stars at a 700 reviews. Get the fuck out of here. Four stars. I forgot to mention that. We're not okay. We are not okay. We're, hold on.

We're not okay. We will take that and rave about it. And then expect anything in this country to go right? What do you want? Your bar is that fucking low? Yes. Your bar is not currently a flame. That's your bar.

Not currently on fire. Wow. All right. We're going to the Water Street Music Hall, which is in, where the hell is this place here? Oh, there we go. Rochester, New York. Okay.

It's way up by Buffalo there. 204 North Water Street. This has 3.9 stars on Google here. Okay. Which it's a live music venue. I don't know how it would have. Yeah. All right.

It's certainly their fault pretty much for anything. It's the show is the show. The show is the show. Yeah, unless like the chair sucker, the bathrooms. Or they threw you out. Yeah, that's what you're going to get a lot of. Elliot five stars. I have been to wrestling shows and concerts here,

and this is one of my favorite places for both. Nice. All right. It's such an interesting little venue, and I definitely go out of my way to see if I can see a show here. The balcony area is especially nice. And I like those little venues like that that have... There's a place in Poughkeepsie that's been there forever called The Chance,

and it closed down, and it reopened, whatever, and it's like all the... Like, if you were a half-decent local band that showed you weren't a... complete piece of shit if you were playing at this place and had a cool, you know, balcony and all that. There was a place in Tempe that was like that, too, that I saw somebody. The Marquis? No, it wasn't the Marquis. The Nile?

Different one. Fuck. No, I don't remember now. The Nile is nice. It's old. I saw a show there when I was like 14, so I'm not going to remember. Yeah. There's a bunch of them in Phoenix proper.

And really just in the... I think it was in Tempe. Yeah. There's a bunch of places just in Arizona in general that are really... really cool places to see music. Cool old places there. Like the rhythm room and the old Mason jar that's the Rebel Lounge now. There's roosters out in fucking Mesa.

There's all kinds of cool places. Yeah, all sorts of comedy horror stories coming back when you mentioned some of these places. Okay, so they like this place. The balcony area is especially nice. Don, five stars, had the pleasure of going to Water Street Music Hall with Sophista Funk. Okay. That's a band. and was giving a tour before the show, and oh my, it was such a wonderful venue with two stages and second-level floor that can see both stages.

Had an amazing green room for the band's fun place to catch live music in a safe environment. That's a guy that's bragging that he gets to see the green room. Yeah, I got to see. Yeah, my cousin is the bass player's brother. We saw the green room, and it's beautiful. It was amazing. Dave, four stars. Venue, good sound.

Bar keeps, didn't trust him. What is he doing? I like the way he's doing. Very succinct, though. Venue, good sound. Bar keeps, didn't trust him. No idea what they charge different every time.

Kofi Baker Cream Faith Band. Okay. Great music, great time. Kofi Baker Cream Faith Band? What the fuck is that? Kofi Baker Cream Faith Band. Cream and the Faith Band, or is it cream faith? Coffey Baker Cream Faith Band, all separate words, but all together.

And there's pictures of them, and the one person looks like a zombie for Christa. Okay. Nora, three stars. As a local, an elder millennial, I have so much love and nostalgia for Water Street, and I'm so glad it reopened. However, as a now disabled adult, the experience of going to shows there is horrible. Yeah, when you didn't need accessibility, I'm sure it was great. Right. Now you're worried about the ADA.

Yeah, now you're fucked here. Accessibility shouldn't be a first come, first served thing, but it is here. If you don't arrive extra early, like an hour before the show to snag one of the very few seats up in the balcony, you're screwed. And when I tried to ask for help, all the staff acted like they have no clue what to do slash couldn't help me. What kind of help do you need? By the way, not that you don't need it. I'm wondering what you need. You have a wheelchair.

What's going on? Sometimes when I go to the movie theaters, because I love doing that, but they've got a few seats up front, like spaces that are available so you can park your wheelchair in there. Yeah, yeah, wheelchair opening. You just stay in your own chair. Yeah. There's only three, four of them. I brought my own chair, thanks. Yeah, but what if everybody brings their own chair?

Yeah, yeah. There's an outing. Yeah. Like the whole cruise going out there. Right. Yeah, you're all their friends that they met at the rec center in wheelchair basketball. What if they all show up? Well, they'll have plenty of parking spaces, but nowhere to put nowhere to eat.

That'll be, or watch the movie. Oh, man. So they tried to, okay, they wouldn't do anything. I could literally see into the dark club side of that high top of that high top chairs were right there available. And if they could just grab one for me, I could sit in the back and still maybe kind of see the stage. I was offered one short chair in the balcony and couldn't see the stage at all, like none of it. What's the point? I wish they would fix their disability accommodations.

It would just show basic human decency. So you're not in a chair, though. So that's, yeah, I don't know. If you can get into a high top, what's, hmm, I'm curious about the disability and why the venue can't accommodate it. Yeah, I don't know why they can't. It doesn't seem like she needs that much accommodation. Right. So they don't know why they can't just help her out.

It seems odd. I mean, we've had people message us that they have disabilities when they come to a small-town murder shows. We fucking make sure the staff knows. Depending on the disability, I would try my best to figure out what is going to make this the best thing for you. Yeah. We make sure the staff knows and make sure that they get a good spot. Right. We got a blind guy coming that can, I mean, he can see, but it's precarious.

We put him in the last row facing the wrong way. It's really, that's just for us, though. No, we're kidding. He's a great fucking dude. Tip top against the wall, please. He claps. He says it's a great show. It's awesome.

He has a good time. He says that I look a little effeminate. That's one specific blind guy that comes to a bunch of shows. He's a great fucking dude. And, you know, at least make sure he can hear it and everything. Right. Okay. I don't understand what her disability is.

If she can sit at a high top to be able to, maybe she, I don't know. I don't know what it is. I can't figure it out. We don't know. It could be a, we don't know it could be a respiratory thing. We have no idea where she can't walk a lot or it could be a leg issue or a who knows what's wrong with people. Sarah, two stars. Overall, the venue is fine, but the drinks and at least one of the bartenders are awful.

I won't blame the rest of them. Don't trust them. Bar keeps, don't trust them. I got two mixed drinks, $20 before Tip and they were terrible. That's about what you expect. Going out, 10 bucks a drink. And that's a kind of a dumpy place. Yeah.

If you go to like a nice place, oh, that's 18 bucks. Yeah, that's expensive. Filled less than halfway with almost no soda, and the cups themselves were urine sample size. What? Urine samples. That's a very specific reference.

That is an extremely small cup. And I know, because I got a piss at probation every week. Fruit Punch at this company. Christmas party size. Six to eight ounces tops. Okay, about the cups are ready. We get it. Jesus Christ, the cups are small.

How many different fucking ways? I'm talking dixie cups. Yeah. Oh, my God. Take your hand, make a pool. Less than that. Ketchup serving at Wendy's. You know, the two pumper.

Pump, pump, full of ketchup. One of those. We get it. It's a small serving. Oh, my God, six to eight ounce tops and not even filled halfway. I'd say enjoy the show, then go get cocktails at a reasonably priced and or portioned establishment elsewhere. That's the answer I've always done because I'm a cheap or broke fuck. I'm not paying $20 a drink.

That's dumb. I don't need drinks that bad. That's the thing. I really don't. I'll get stoned and get the fuck in here. Be more fucked up than any of you. For 40 bucks, I can get an eight. eighth of great weed and be really fucked up and I don't need drinks at all. I'm fine.

I just need water because my mouth is going to be dry. For sure. Let's see. I'd have been fine with the price if the drinks were decent and not kid sized. All right. That's good. Chris. I need a thirst buster of food. You got a 64 back there. Chris, two stars. I want to give it three stars, but it just missed the mark. Oh, did it? Three is the top that he gives, apparently. Urinals need auto flush. Yeah, all the urinals should have auto flush. I mean, they are all auto flush.

Every single one of them. Well, they're... No, some of you have to flush automatically. Well, you don't have to. Walk the fuck away. Yeah, that's a scummy thing to do. If you don't want to touch things. If you don't want to touch things.

That's bad. That's not cool. If you don't want to touch things, you just walk away. Yeah. It doesn't sit in there. You know what I mean? I don't use urinals because I don't need piss splashed all over me. Everybody goes in with the complicit knowledge that I'm going to leave this place with piss on me.

Why would you piss in something that's going to spray piss on your clothes and then you go back into a restaurant and sit down and eat with piss all over you now? What are we doing? And you're standing. You're standing in piss. Piss. Other people's piss can splash on you. Yeah, you got other people's piss all over the bottom of your shoes now. I'm not doing it. And you've got your piss all over your belly.

No, I'm not doing it. No, I'd like to get everyone walking away from the urinal with a black light and go, look what you just did. Look what you have your covered in piss now. Disgusting. I am not doing that. Look what you did. Look what you did. I use the toilet because I have self-respect.

Respect for myself. I just, every time I go there, the piss on my shoes is in my head. Every single time. Yeah, I said that years ago. I don't want to piss on my shoes. That's why. You just said it like that, though. You didn't say that you said four words.

I looked at you funny as you walked into the toilet. I'm like, there's urinals. You go, piss on my shoes. Yeah, I've had one of the venues. That's all you said. So piss on my... I guess I get it. Piss on my shoes?

And I was like, Mm-hmm. Into the stall. Oh, it was at the radio station. It was at the radio station because you went into the toilet. I'm like, James, there's three urinals. I'm like, I'm not going to look and you go, piss on my shoes. Yeah, I fuck that.

Yeah. I get it now. I'll leave the door open, but I'm pissing in a toilet. That's how this is working. I like my shoes. Yeah. So urinals need auto flush. Security is overzealous probably due to their rowdy reputation.

It's a music venue. Every music venue has a rowdy reputation. Have you seen those toilets, by the way, that are no flushers? That's, I mean, that's what I do anyway most of the time. But in a urinal, they have urinals that are waterless. You just piss into a hole. And the gravity takes it out. So that toilet is just covered in so much piss.

It never gets clean. OPP my dick. I'm not doing that shit. No. Other people's piss can... It's all pissed. It has a little bee in there and you're supposed to piss on the bead. I've seen it and I can shake my head every time and I go, fucking scumbags.

No way. No way. Upstairs was closed possibly for VIP that was empty. So very crowded and hard to navigate between security, separate bars, soundstage, fencing that almost seems random. It's tight at the end of the day. comparable but not as on point as rec room. Okay. There we go.

I like this one. Two stars from Eric. Too many young people. That's the entire review. Yeah. You're in their environment now. That's how that works. You walked into their world, buddy.

Once you hit 35, you're the old guy to them. Have you walked into a Hollister or an Abercrombie lately? You're going to feel the same shit. That's what it is. Are you kidding me? You're put on a sex offenders list if you walk into one of those places if you're over 35. Not when I drag my daughter with me. If you have a child with you, it's all right.

Yeah. If you go in alone, though, they're going to take you down. Every one of them looks at me like I'm a fucking creep in there. Yeah. Every one of them, though. What is this guy doing here? Yeah, it's fucking crazy. That was his whole review, by the way.

Really? Just too many young people. It's disgusted by it. But two stars, too many young people. Okay. One star from Lynn. She's got a lot to say. We might end on this one here.

Okay. Would give Water Street a minus rating if I could. Okay. Minus. Minus. Went to see Sam Grisman Project with Dirty Blanket opening for them. Those are definitely band names. Dirty Blanket sounds like a bad name.

Sam Grisman Project sounds Grisman. If you're going to use your name in the band, Isn't that what the guy called Clark when he knocked on the door? Grisman? Yeah. He might have. He called him something different. Every time he saw him, he called him something different.

Never knew what his name was. No, no, I mean the guy delivering the jelly of the month club. Oh, the jelly of the month club at the end of the night. Clark Grisman. I think he did one of those. I think he just trailed off. Mr. Grisman. I think.

Yeah. Tickets and website said start time. at seven, but we waited in a long line outside in very cold temperatures till well after that time. Yeah. Paid extra for four VIP tickets, which included first come tables and chairs for balcony viewing and private bathroom facilities. Oh, that's nice. If you could pay for better bathrooms, that is the ticket I'm buying, for sure.

When they finally let us in, they made everyone crowd into their bar area downstairs with only two bartenders for 500 people. Good Lord. That's tough. That's tough. We've played, when we first started, we played a lot of places like this. Yeah.

You're playing like comedy clubs or small like music theater, music venues that were theaters. Oh, that fucking shithole. Yeah. They're closed down. They can suck a dick those people. And then a decent place like the varsity

in Minneapolis, which was a cool place. But it was like old. The state, well, that's a nice big thing. theater. But the, that's in, oh, you're, I see what you're saying. I thought you were saying, little joints. Either this or the, I, no, no, no. We started, like, Lincoln Hall in Chicago. Yeah, places like that, we started out. And they were cool places to play. But they're great, but they've

not the most comfortable because they have to put in, like, folding chairs and all that. Yeah. And they've got a, and they've got a nut to crack. So they've got, uh, they've got a certain amount of money. They got a clear. So they can only put so many people on staff and the, and the bar is only so big. So we got six, eight hundred people climbing in. in here and we got four bartenders. So it's not easy. It's fucking hard. And they have multiple shows a night and it's tough. Okay. So everyone's crowded there. The weight was beyond frustrating. When finally allowed upstairs, there was not one chair or table, just an empty space. I went back downstairs to politely request two chairs and was rudely told, not their problem and no.

Oh. Okay. If you weren't the first ones up there to stand right up at the balcony, you did not get to see the band at all. Oh, that sucks. That sucks. You're just in the back. It's like the Tempe improv. In the balcony, just wedged against the railing. It's like the tempi improv if you don't look at the TVs and you're up in the balcony. That seems dangerous too, because at least at the improv, they got seats. You're just standing. Yeah, you could just shove people over the railing if you wanted, which I'm sure happens. I'm sure. Sound was terrible upstairs, even though both bands had very talented musicians. Sold out show made down the stairs so crowded and had to be past legal occupancy.

I will never go back to this venue. Even if it's your favorite band, wait to see them anywhere else. Wow. That's tough. See, that's also cool that dirty blanket and the Sam Grisman project sells out. Yeah. We've never heard of that. They sell out.

That's pretty cool. That's amazing. Yeah. There might be something local that's like, like Roger Klein sells out. But I mean, he got music on King of the Hill. Yeah. Yeah, more famous. You get one thing.

People in fucking Nebraska probably don't know who Roger Klein is. But he'll sell out the fucking marquee in a second just because he's a local guy. That's true. Yeah, this is a fucking mess. We'll leave it there, I think, because the next one's pretty long. Oh, I can't wait. I think we'll squeeze it in. So, yeah, we have all this.

These music venues, when you're going out to them, you really kind of got to say, I'm going to piss in a gross bathroom. I'm going to drink a shitty drink in a plastic. cup and it's going to be $12. I'm going to be bumped into by strange. That's what, that's what going to a small music venue is. And small music venues, too. It's like Seven Mary Three played here or Nirvana played here. That's the other thing that's cool. All these venues, the smaller ones. They all start somewhere. Yeah. And it's funny because we've kind of followed them because

in our smaller, smaller venues, they had all these people and we were like, oh, wow, they played here when they first started. It's fucking cool. Now we play like 1,500 seat theaters and we see them there when they played and we're like oh shit they played there then they also of course went on to play stadiums which we will never do but also went on to have uh songs that people can sing every word by just saying the title we also won't die of a heroin overdose so you know you or be murdered depending on yeah no i'm not saying kirk obeyn specifically i'm just saying tons of guys alison chains guy died of a alcohol poisoning i think that was but either way lynn's daily yeah i think It was alcohol poisoning, mixed with drugs and everything else.

I mean, it was substances. Yeah, if you ever saw the decline of Western Civilization Part 2, you wouldn't be surprised at a lot of people's different things because that was like watching people at their drunkenest and shit. So anyway, there you go, everybody. We have done it all. We've done it all, really. Where did we start out at the pool?

We did, yeah. Then we sunburned and baked. Yeah. To throwing hands with a female Waffle House cook. And a tag team of roaches. Fighting off roaches on the good ship Waffle House, the ghost ship Waffle House. The old Goose Ship Waffle House. And of course, we've gone to a music venue that's not exactly to everyone's liking.

Crazy. You're going to be pissed off about it. Shocking. But it's all right. Everybody, be careful out there. Expect what you pay for, but also expect that nothing's perfect. And sometimes shit doesn't work out. Certainly.

Yeah. You know, expect some shit. When you do, try to laugh at it. And if you can, start like a comedy act and you can talk about it there. It's something of that nature. Otherwise, shut the fuck up about it. Mind your own businesses. You get what you paid for.
