Hello everybody and welcome back to your stupid opinions.
Hey!
That's right. My name is James Petrigallo. I'm here with my co-host.
I'm Jimmy Wissman.
Thanks for joining us today on another really crazy episode of People's Opinions.
That's what it is, once again.
I guess this is sort of a disclaimer.
These are not our opinions.
We've never been to most of these places.
And if we do have an opinion, we'll let you know. But most of the time, this is just other people our opinions. We've never been to most of these places. And if we do have an opinion, we'll let you know.
But most of the time, this is just other people's opinions.
And we like to sit back and watch it unfold before us.
Just enjoy them.
Let's do this.
Let's have a good time.
And let's get right into this.
But first, quickly, by the way, follow us on Facebook and Instagram and all that.
You can find us if you search us out.
And there's groups, I know, and all these things. And people are having fun with it. So please all that. You can find us if you search us out. And there's groups I know and all these things,
and people are having fun with it.
So please do that.
Otherwise, let's get right into this because we have a full show of complaints
and grievances.
So let's do it.
Let's start out with, as promised last week when we ended,
we would start out this week.
We have a couple promises from last week.
Number one, this particular place,
and then also the Lord Calvert's whiskey from the Small Town Murder episode.
Whiskey's so good, it'll make you almost cut somebody's head off.
That should be their new slogan.
We're so bad?
Well, I mean, they're trying to sell it, Jimmy.
You gotta sell it.
Yeah, it's a marketing campaign. So let's start out with, as promised, the YMCA of Hanawa Valley in Charleston, West Virginia.
Terrific.
So let's do this right away.
It doesn't look bad, as you can see here.
I'll show you the picture.
Looks like a nice place.
I mean, on the inside, the gym looks...
It looks like a YMCA.
I don't see, like, piles of poop anywhere or anything.
Yeah.
Like some places we review.
That's helpful. Yeah. How many places?
It is disturbing how many places we review where feces are brought up, where someone
will say there's shit somewhere.
And it's really disturbing.
Why is that?
I'm not sure.
So here it is, the Charleston, West Virginia YMCA.
Let's get right into this.
Here's a five star.
Like I said, we got to try here.
Somebody loves it.
Give it a little bit of fairness here. five stars this is from jody she has a lot of reviews
on google too here so oh it's not a plant from the ymca more she's busy yeah a quote i was looking
for somewhere to play pickleball and in all capital letters for some reason work out while
i'm staying in charleston for a couple months and the why fit
the bill oh sometimes you just you got a pickle and you got to work out you gotta do both and
afterwards i still have energy gotta get it out with some pickleball at the same place this
location has a friendly welcoming community vibe and it's all caps huge yeah they oftentimes are
but i would it's got gyms and shit
it's gotta be it's just some guy's basement it's kind of weird not a lot of pickleball room but you
know the weights are pretty good um outside of yoga i am and again this person a lot of all caps
all caps not a class person they're not into taking classes oh outside of yoga yeah i'm not a class i thought there was
not a class person i thought they were going to start judging but these people here are dirt bags
whatever uh but again all caps but on a whim i decided to try by the way they keep fluctuating
and going back and forth between dashes and commas and oh the punctuation and this is crazy it looks like a it looks like a
ransom letter if it's possible to review something on google and have it look like a ransom letter
this person figured it out jody really wants you to follow her train of thought she does here uh
but on a whim i decided to try melissa's class oh well thank God for Melissa. And holy cow. Cow is all caps for some reason.
Holy cow.
Holy cow.
It's so, capital letters, great.
Yeah.
Great.
Terrific.
It's great.
I wish I could take back with me to New York.
The whole class.
The whole class.
Melissa, the room room the other ladies everybody
pack up we're staying in the back of the plane we're staying staying in my one bedroom in
williamsburg everybody let's go i need you all to do this class with me every sunday wow um you can
take it slow and modify or you can match her movement. Oh. You're paying for it.
You'll probably do whatever you want in there.
I don't think they punish you for not.
Hey, listen.
Jody, stop what you're doing.
You know what?
That's 30 push-ups right now.
I don't want to treat you like a drill sergeant.
Drop it.
Give me 30.
12 burpees.
12 burpees.
Let's see.
You can match her movement.
And if you do, I i guarantee you you will get an
amazing workout and be all caps sore the next day i am exhausted from jody's yeah review five stars
five stars um here's another five star real quickly again here this is from laura a welcoming
atmosphere okay nice great place to exercise and make new friends
oh and friends friends are great i do mostly swimming activities and can honestly say
that the lifeguards do an amazing job how many times did you how many people are nearly drowning
in this fucking class lifeguards save an average of uh negative 0.5 people per year like on the average
they don't usually and that's not saying they can't i understand the skills but it's not
usually called for in a pool situation they're mostly uh just blowing whistles and yelling at
children for running stop running that's it stop. Yeah, I don't understand. Wow. They're into it.
Okay.
Let's get to the bad here.
We've talked about the good.
Let's get to the bad and the ugly.
Okay.
Brianna, one star.
She's furious.
Not happy.
Okay.
If you're not a part of the swim team, don't count on them caring about you.
Oh.
Whoa.
What does that mean?
I guess you got to take a class. They don't care about you? They don't care about you oh whoa what does that mean i'm i guess you gotta take a class they don't care about you jimmy don't you understand you non-swim team piece of shit
they don't care about you keep an eye on you the lifeguards will not watch maybe brianna dropped a
turd in the pool we don't know maybe yeah what happened brianna Been going here for months, and for some reason, today, everything changes.
What does that mean?
It's all different now.
Yeah.
For months, they treat me like a human being.
I come in today, and they're like, listen, you non-swim team bitch.
You can't come in here.
They found out I'm not part of the swim team, and now they have a gripe.
If you start to drown, our lifeguards will not save you
paid 15 to swim and didn't even get to get in because the staff doesn't know the rules or hours
of operation either they don't know the rules 15 bucks for a free swim i guess to swim okay um
people need to get on the same page also something needs to be worked out for the community
to have a time for leisure swimming is it a community center or a sports complex oh i the
jocks are taking over yeah the pool was dominated probably had the lane lines up and they had a very
small area that you're allowed to swim in yeah fifteen dollars for fifteen dollars in this person
no leisure swimming this is you gotta you gotta swim laps time your breaststroke or get the fuck
out of here that's it not interested take a hike buoys or get the fuck take a hike brianna
where's your fins oh man here's jim one star um here he goes he's got a he's got a lot to say all right ymca
of kanawa i think that's how you say it but i don't know it doesn't really matter has great
facilities great exercise equipment and great community atmosphere this is one star mind you
don't worry stay tuned does he not get it? Stay tuned.
He flip-flops hard here.
He had a Brianna type of day where he's had it.
It's been fine for months, and now he's had it.
One place that could definitely use some improvement is the cleanliness.
Well, that's pretty much what I'm mainly concerned about is not getting a staph infection.
But it's a gym where people just sweat all the time.
And these places, I was a member of one.
They aren't very, this isn't your LA fitness.
You know what I mean?
It's a YMCA.
It's a YMCA fitness.
Right.
You're not paying the same amount per month.
They don't have you locked into a contract where Hitman will come break your legs if you don't fucking pay.
And you probably got a discount here because of your job.
That's the other thing, maybe.
Yeah.
The equipment could be wiped down more often, considering there are usually three people standing behind the front counter just watching people.
Well, that's your job.
Yeah.
You're supposed to wipe it down after you're done with it.
You should come by with a rag and some.
Maybe so.
Some disinfectant.
Yeah. Something that kills things.
An hourly spritz down, maybe, just one of those.
I think that's not too much to ask for a place where staph infections would run wild.
My grocery store has an announcement that goes over the loudspeaker,
attention all stations, it's time for your hourly wipe down.
Maybe the gym should probably adopt that.
You know when the water comes on the vegetables the mist the thunder and stuff yeah something like that like
just for the gym equipment i'm not sure what the technology has a rain a rainforest jungle
sound happen and then all of the everything gets missed that means clear the fuck off right now
you got five seconds you better move you mid-set? You better fucking move.
You're about to get Purelled, motherfucker.
Purelled.
Yeah, you're getting Lysol'd hard.
So everybody off.
Yeah.
I like it.
I like it.
Okay.
I love the idea of the place being family-oriented, but when kids are sometimes left unattended,
yeah, that's not great.
That's not good at all.
Their behavior is not the most appropriate. Well, that makes sense. They're kids that makes sense they're kids yeah which you don't really want to do that you
don't want to work out with children which i would also advise against because of the environment in
the locker room sometimes exactly that's the other thing you want your dicks are all over the place
yeah dicks everywhere you want your kids at head level with fucking everybody's dick in West Virginia? No. Some coal miner's dick, you got to be head level.
You're about to ruin a kid's 40s when they're eight.
Yeah, it's not good.
You're like, oh, man, that's what's going to happen to my dick?
Oh, Jesus.
Jesus Christ.
Let's see.
Not good sometimes, which I think you know what I'm talking about.
I love this.
Dicks, yep.
Environment in the locker room sometimes, dot, dot, dot, which I think you know what I'm talking about that's i love this dicks yep environment in the locker room sometimes
dot dot dot which i think you know what i'm talking about penises lots of penises
so many so many overall this place is great and i've been a member here for many years
his member's been a member kids though've seen many members over many years.
Many members over many years.
Though there are a few areas that can be approved upon.
Okay, you think that's the end of the review?
It's not.
No.
No, he's got to edit.
All capital letters, edit.
This place has gone downhill all at once, apparently.
If you come in to renew your membership all they see is
dollar signs oh oh the staff needs a lesson in hospitality they try they try to have a towel
service but to ask for one is not worth it quote i guess you can use this one that someone left here
that's oh what no no you can that. I'm not touching that.
You can go ahead and bleach the shit out of that.
I don't know what's in that.
Yeah, anything can be there.
Put that on the rainforest nozzles and Purell it.
Let's go.
That tells me when you're not looking, they just take that towel, fold it, and then give it to somebody else. Put it right back.
That's just off the top of my head.
Lots of athlete's foot being passed around here. If they think that recycling towels is okay, then I have a strong suspicion.
It's like leftover bread on the table at a restaurant.
Well, I'm not going to throw that out.
They didn't even touch it.
Let's get rid of this.
Yep.
The facilities are nice, but if everything is filthy, then are they worth it?
That's a philosophical question at that point.
That just depends on what your dollars worth to
you he's getting deep ymca i want my money back exclamation point yeah and this has five
thumbs up here too so some really there's a lot of people agreeing with that yeah and there's a
response from the owner which who the fuck owns the ymca who's the president of the one is are they all i believe it's the construction worker in the YMCA? Who's the president of the YMCA?
Are they all working together? I believe it's the construction worker and the village people.
I think he's the guy right now.
It's not the Indian?
No, no, no.
He had his run.
I think he was 2008 to 2013.
And then ever since then, it's been just the reign of the construction worker.
He holds it.
He rules it with an iron fist.
Cowboy's next.
You can't get in there.
Well, he's been campaigning for it, but they're not working together anymore.
That's the problem.
That's a big problem.
Lack of communication.
He could come for it.
Yeah.
This response is, thank you for posting a review, and we're sorry to hear that your experience was not up to standards.
We'll use the feedback to make us better and to ensure this doesn't happen again.
What?
Be filthy?
That tells me all we did was read this this and we don't give a fuck about
you.
Don't give a fuck about you.
Are you a member of the swim team?
Yeah.
Do you swim?
Hey,
Jim,
do you swim?
His name is Jim.
Well,
I think that's a,
that's a nevermind.
He's got a funny name.
Uh,
Jim shorts,
like Jim.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
He's a clever guy.
This one.
Here's one for, here's one from Travis. Like Jim Shorts. He's a clever guy, this one. Here's one from Travis.
One star.
Okay.
Wish this facility relocated and expanded into our downtown failing Charleston town center mall and joined forces with REI Outfitters to establish an outdoor tourism mecca and aquatic center for the state of West Virginia.
One star.
It's the YMCA.
It's the fucking YMCA.
They just reviewed it because it didn't do this.
What?
Insane business idea that I'm going to go through all the things they want to get.
I am. What the fuck just happened you think of a ymca yeah what is it why it's a place that has like gym equipment
maybe a basketball court yeah apparently pickleball racquetball possibly you know what i mean i feel
like there's a giant pool evidently people who are having a hard time might be able to sleep there in the 70s.
I'm not sure how it works now.
I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know what's happening, but I do.
But I know it's not this.
Whatever.
Okay.
Let me go over that again.
One star because of these factors.
Yeah.
I wish this facility relocated.
Okay.
Well, so now we have relocated. Okay, well.
So now we have to move the whole facility.
Which I think it's like donated buildings.
I don't think the YMCA is a.
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
Some of them are built, purpose built.
Is it a for-profit thing?
I don't know.
I don't know if it is or not.
I don't know.
Because it was the Young Men's Club.
Christian Association is what it used to be. Oh.
Yes.
So it had church back in the short term.
Yeah, that feels like a charity.
Yeah.
I mean, I think it was, I think it's, is it government funded possibly?
Or like-
I don't know.
One of those programs?
It's a private institution because businesses in the local areas where they exist donate
to them because they have like a wall of all their donators.
Donors?
Donors.
Yeah.
But there's museums that have
donors that are that are great point that are public funded yeah i don't know so i don't
fucking know i don't know how that that's that's like the greatest mystery in america probably
how does it keep going inside
but we do know that they do not join forces with REI and the Aquatic Center?
No.
They relocated, expanded into our debt.
Now, he even has a spot.
That's the problem.
It's not even just, I wish they relocated to bigger quarters.
He is kicking fucking JCPenney out of the anchor store and replacing it.
He did the market research.
Yes.
Into our downtown failing Charleston Town Center Mall.
And on top of that, merged with another business that has absolutely nothing to do with them.
REI.
He's just picking a big, it's another place with letters, James.
Yeah, and then you could be the YMCA REI.
It'll be fucking amazing.
If you mix them together, maybe you could spell a word.
I don't know, man.
It'll be cool.
Joined forces with REI Outfitters to establish an outdoor tourism mecca?
Don't they sell, like, fucking vests and shit at the REI?
Yeah, they sell hiking shoes and bicycles.
Outdoor tourism me tourism and aquatic center
we'll get a bass pro what the fuck is happening
that's the craziest review and two people did thumbs up yeah that'd be great if that
what is happening in west virginia what's wrong with you people over here? What's happening right now?
Travis, are you okay?
I need every business that just goes by letters to merge, please.
You know, I see Travis has 12 other reviews on Google, and I kind of want to just do a segment of a show that's just Travis's reviews.
Just Travis's reviews.
Because if this is the first one I found, the rest have to be a ball, right?
Oh, they've got to be great.
They can't just be like, you know, this place was good, fine, you know, four stars or something.
So, all right.
I need an REI and a YMCA to merge, and there's a food court, and they only serve RC Cola.
Yeah, I want that.
If they could put a Nathan's in there, I'd like their hot dogs.
Like, what are you talking about?
What is he doing?
Open a business then that you want that has part YMCA, part REI Outfitters, and has like, you know, I don't know, dolphins that do tricks and shit.
I don't know what you want.
That's a fascinating human, Nathan.
Oh, my God.
What is his name?
Is it Kevin?
Travis.
Travis.
Nathan Kevin Travis something.
Whatever.
You're a lunatic.
You're crazy, Travis. Travis okay here's a KM
with 24 reviews here total so some reviews uh three stars okay okay all right this seems like
to keep in mind this is three stars when I read it you go no this is a one star review this person
has way too low of standards this person hates hates this place. Yeah. Three stars is average. This is not average.
Okay.
Quote, I do really like this gym, and there is a lot to offer, exclamation point.
I do wish they had a separate adult pool.
That's fair.
I don't want to swim with kids.
Yeah.
Pee everywhere.
Right.
That's the, as you're swimming, that's all you think about.
This whole thing's just piss.
So, so far, okay.
As you're swimming, that's all you think about.
This whole thing's just piss.
So far, okay.
But then this is where it goes beneath three stars for basically anybody, I think, that lives in a house.
Or just anything with a roof, a lean-to, I think you'd go, I expect better than this.
Quote, the showers are nice, although there's always a couple with flies or algae.
The shower has flies?
And algae.
That's not nice.
That's not clean.
That's not nice.
That's not good. No.
The end of the day slash week mildew that builds up in the locker rooms is noticeable.
This is a zero star review.
That's a zero.
This is vile.
Negative stars.
The locker room breeds bacteria and disease.
What are we talking about?
Are we at zero stars now?
For sure.
Okay, we're about to limbo to about fucking negative seven.
Negative?
Because the next sentence takes it to the next level.
Quote, there's been stool on the floors.
Oh, my God.
Stool.
Not stools to sit on.
No.
There is shit on the floors.
How much feces are on this show?
Your stupid opinions.
We have the feces.
Arby's has the meat.
We have the feces.
I'll tell you that right fucking now.
Holy Christ.
Okay, there's been stool on the floors or bathroom stalls that can go a day or two without being cleaned
you've been here two days in a row and there was the same same poop and you kept your membership
what the hell was happening it gets even better jimmy okay and they don't regulate smoking on
the premises even when brought forth so if people are just shitting on the floor and smoking inside and doing whatever they want.
And here's the last sentence.
It's amazing.
Overall, the equipment and facilities are pretty good considering it's a small town.
3.5 out of 4 for me.
How much shit do you tolerate?
That's what I mean.
What could knock down stars for you
i got mugged in the when i was on the elliptical like what could possibly take it down a notch for
you does the person have to throw the shit directly at you have to poop on you unless it's
like found in your gym bag when you're done working out. Flies and algae in the shower, shit on the floor and on the stall.
Flies, algae, mildew, and stool.
These are the four buzzwords that they mentioned.
That to get to, you have to walk through a cloud of smoke.
And smoke, yeah.
I don't understand how that's a three-star review but they really i first i was
like oh they must have hit three by accident then the last sentence 3.5 out of four for me
huh what the fuck are you talking about four he even slid that scale down i mean it's right there
it's close it's almost perfect it's an a at least i least. I mean, wow. Holy shit. A little bit of Tilex will fix this place right up.
I don't even know what to say about that.
We're going to leave the YMCA there because.
I never want to come back.
Some people are fine with shit on the floor.
Some people want it to be a completely different business that merges with other completely different businesses.
I can't set my head.
I'm going to have a stroke if we do this anymore.
Okay.
All right.
Let's move on to something else here.
This is Great Value Fruit Spins Sweetened Multigrain Cereal.
This is Knock Off Fruit Loops.
Oh, okay.
Great Value is a store brand.
Walmart.
It's a Walmart thing, I think, there.
Walmart brand Fruit Loops. So let's find out these. Now, I think, there. Walmart brand Froot Loops.
So let's find out these.
Now, I'm very picky about my cereal.
Yeah, you are.
Well, I'm a cereal connoisseur.
You love them.
I'm like a guy with people with wine, and they're like, oh, this is a bad year.
I'm like, yeah, no, this is.
So there are brands of less expensive cereal that are actually very good.
That you'll deal with?
Oh, they're
fucking delicious like in arizona do they come in a bag yeah yeah one of them the somebody's
cocoa puffs are amazing i can't remember what the store brand that is now because it's been
a couple years since i've been back there is it a box or is it no it's a bag it's a bag it's a
fucking really good cocoa puff so it's it is possible to make a decent cereal that isn't
six dollars a box um when led you to try that?
When I was young and we didn't have any money, that's what we got.
And then they were good.
And I was like, oh, shit, I'd actually buy these by choice as well as by necessity.
So, yeah.
All right.
All right.
Here's one.
Five stars.
Yeah.
Five stars.
Better than Kellogg's is the title here. Oh, is that right?
That's right.
Yeah.
Five stars.
Better than Kellogg's is the title here. Oh, is that right?
That's right.
I've been disappointed with Kellogg's cereals ever since they reduced the sugar by 30%.
No, that's a guy that really needs a pep in the morning.
I'm less diabetic than I used to be, and I don't appreciate it.
I've been pouring Coca-Cola on mine because they lowered the sugar.
You put Dr. Pepper on it, it's much better.
Now, at the same time, I will agree with them that there are some of the cereals that they have made that taste differently because of that, and it kind of ruins the cereal.
Especially since it's Halloween time.
Let's talk about this.
The Monster cereals are a disgrace.
They're a disgrace
i'm frankenberry the old recipe frankenberry is my favorite cereal on the face of the earth i would
eat it until the end of time that and the count chocula then they made it weird and puffy and
they changed it and they changed the flavor and it's it's just a disaster now when the filler
thing item because every cereal's got a filler thing yeah whatever it is
they changed what that was right when what like lucky charms you go through those fucking gross
things to get to the marshmallows and and every cereal has something like that yeah just bizarre
like asterisks and and triangles yeah yeah it's like all the shapes in small world in the ride
why are we doing this what? What's happening here?
What are these cave drawings?
But those things, if they don't taste good, why the fuck eat the cereal at all?
Yeah, I guess so. You have to balance out the sweetness, I suppose.
But some people don't want that.
They want more sweetness rather than less.
Some just want all sugar, evidently.
Yeah. sweetness yeah you know rather than less and some just want all sugar evidently yeah so this person
says i was hesitant to buy this as generics don't usually taste as good but after tasting i was
blown away exclamation point the taste is in quote unquote capital letters here exactly like the
original fruit loop cereal all caps before the quote healthier version was
introduced no it's not healthier all you health nuts ruining my candy yeah it's like my fruit
loops are all fucking yeah there's like there's like oats in there and shit now yeah full of
quinoa and oats and my fucking my. Yeah. What is this kale spinach?
The green's supposed to be lime, I think, not kale.
Unbelievable.
You got fucking rhubarb for the red now.
Oh, wow.
Unbelievable.
Jesus.
It's like the yellow is butternut squash.
It's very nice.
It's nice the Yellows. Butternut squash. It's very nice. It's nice and smooth.
Looking forward to seeing how other GV cereals stand up to the name brands. He's going to have a fucking blind taste test.
I see him with cards in front.
Wish they also had a version of Apple Jacks, but oh well.
Apple Jacks.
Those are going real fucking healthy, too.
Yeah, they're way too healthy now.
Apple Jacks.
It's just apples when you open the box.
You pour out the box of apples.
Apple corn.
The good part of the apple's not even there.
You've got to pick around the seeds and get little pieces of apple meat.
All right.
Here is three stars.
Here's the title.
Get soggy quick.
Less sweet than Froot Loops.
So this person said more sweet than Froot Loops.
This person, less sweet than Froot Loops.
This is why reviews...
Maybe that guy's still got the old...
Yeah.
That guy's still getting the old formula.
This is why you shouldn't buy anything based on reviews.
Because of that.
Nobody knows anything.
I think this show, is we've demonstrated that
two people knows a goddamn thing two people could look at the same poop on a bathroom floor for two
days and see it completely different ways you know what i mean some people could see it as
at least the rest of the floor is clean yeah i mean it's that's why the the gym wasn't that
sweaty it's only about two percent of this bathroom floor has shit on it.
If you're really looking at it that way, with a bathroom floor mostly empty of feces way rather than a bathroom floor mostly full of feces.
Fucking incredible.
Oh, man.
Okay.
So cheapest.
Okay, yes.
There we go.
The old formula, that guy's still got it, evidently.
I can't stop laughing here at this.
So, yeah, this one has it, the old formula.
He loves it.
And, yeah, the price is awesome, they say here.
The cheapest cereal that is close to Froot Loops.
The price is awesome. I find it less is close to Fruit Loops. The price is awesome. I find it
less sweet than Fruit Loops. Again, they
reiterate that. But the
Kroger brand tastes better than Great Value
with the same price. This is like
your Consumer Reports
here. They have a whole chart on Fruit Loops
of various brands. Not only
are we reviewing this in comparison
to real Fruit Loops, also, I'll give you
another alternative.
Yeah, let's throw one of these in.
How about that?
But Kroger doesn't make them anymore.
Okay, well, then why mention them?
Because they're not the same price.
What the fuck?
They don't exist.
They're not.
Wow.
This led me down a path I can't even take, you son of a bitch.
I was ready to go to Kroger.
I was on my way, getting their Fruit Loops for the same price, even better, and now they're gone.
You fucked me up.
Thank fuck we read the whole thing., otherwise we would have really been screwed.
This one gets soggy super quick, no matter how fast you're eating.
Shoveling.
Milk flying everywhere, Froot Loops.
The dogs are around him eating Froot Loops off the floor.
Just splashing milk.
That's all I pictured is.
Motor.
No matter how fast.
Skip the spoon, just mash it in your face with your hand.
Wow, that's amazing.
He's eating like the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest people.
Handfuls.
But the taste is good.
Should try them.
I like it. And my kids love mixing it with their stars and marshmallows, which I think is knockoff Lucky Charms.
Yeah.
I believe.
Okay.
Stars and marshmallows.
There's so many sellables.
Stars and bars and marshmallows down here.
Yeah, that feels bad.
Here's two stars.
Not bad.
Okay.
Just don't taste like Kellogg at all.
All right.
Well, because it's not.
It tastes like lemon cereal.
I like lemon, but this is too much.
Okay.
Supposed to have other fruit flavors, it doesn't and then the funny thing
is fruit loops all taste the same they don't have that yeah they're the same flavor with different
dyes in it and uh but they you eat something yellow and you eat something red you they do
taste different to you because that's how your brain works but yeah in reality we're just dumb
idiots we're we're just monkeys i was just gonna say we're just dumb monkeys and we don't understand
how taste it's just our brain tricks things and we go yeah that's what it is our brain
our brain must be having a ball all day fucking with us doing shit like that
how you burned your hand because you grabbed something hot you're an idiot talking to another
brain on the phone go watch this hold on hold on watch this look at this asshole look at him he thinks again look at him dipshit okay here we go not worth the money saved one star
what do you save that a dollar twelve it's more than that actually they're like half the price
i think it's really yeah yeah because cereal's like five six bucks a box cereal's always been
super expensive though even yeah like i've i don't think I've ever bought a box of cereal at full price.
I will not.
It has to be on sale.
I'm like, that's crazy.
Five, that's insane.
I will not.
I've never done it.
I will.
A dollar off fine, but I will not buy it at full price.
I want to see you in a grocery store cereal aisle going, do you see this?
Forever.
I've been doing it since I was 10.
I will not pay $4.69 for a box of Trix.
How dare you?
They're certainly not for kids at that price.
You got to have a fucking job.
This is crazy, man.
I can't do it.
All right.
One star.
My son loves Froot Loops, and so do I on occasion, too.
There's a lot of different words there.
I bought Froot Spins trying to save a little money.
My son noticed right away, even with me putting it in our Tupperware container before he saw the box.
Blind taste tested, and the child knows.
Kid goes, ah-uh, nope.
Why are these waxy? What's going on?
Not a sweet dad.
He said they tasted
gross, but I figured he was just being
picky. A few
days later, I decided to have a bowl of
Fruit Spins. All
caps, nasty.
I'm usually not
a picky eater and I couldn't finish the bowl i kept trying to take
another bite but they are just gross stop eating them why are you he's like oh god one more bite
maybe it's better now it's not you don't like them that's the guy whose brain's really really
having a ball it's having a ball with him he's eating it it again. This moron. You paid $2.69 for this box. You need to...
He's going to take another bite. What a dipshit.
He's going to do it. Here, I'll take one more.
Look, look, look. He did it again. Look at him. He hates it.
He doesn't want to waste the money.
Look at this dipshit. Cheap bastard.
I will be
buying Froot Loops once again and spend
a little extra to have an awesome bowl
of cereal.
If you want your cereal to be awesome you got a pony up okay here we go one star we used to love them but not now oh what happened my family has purchased this brand in the past and we were
pleased with the taste that's good there's been a change to this product and it's for the worse uh-oh and we
know it we know it yeah we we do a blind taste test every month on the cereals just to make sure
we don't want to get fucked over i sampled the cereal before serving to my daughter and thought
yuck but i didn't say anything to her hoping she would just eat it and we could just move on with
our already rushed morning i love how parents are like, this is gross.
Maybe my kid, hopefully they'll just eat it and shut the fuck up.
That's amazing.
She won't notice.
Two different occasions.
We're like, we don't care if it's gross.
Just eat it.
That's parenting, though, in reality.
Hopefully they'll just eat it and it'll be fine.
Let's just hope it's fine.
How rushed can you be that if this tastes gross, scrambled eggs are three minutes away?
How fast do you need this breakfast to be?
Wow.
Apparently very fast because this person is in a rush.
She commented after the first bite.
The cereal was, all caps, immediately soggy after adding milk.
Just disintegrated. It's like rice paper.
It's just like bedding slips in a bookie's office when the cops break down the door.
So much, the entire contents of the bowl went into the garbage.
Walmart did provide a refund with a receipt. They took a half-eaten box of fruit spins back into the garbage walmart didn't did provide a refund with a receipt they took a
half-eaten box of fruit spins back to the walmart how cheap are you these are terrible
and walmart went we understand we know yeah here's your money they know they saw him coming
through the door and said get to get 249. Trust me. The shit cereal's coming back, guys.
You see it?
There it is.
It's bouncing.
That is fucking awesome.
Okay, here we go.
One star.
Don't want the product from the return bin.
What?
It's a picture of the product with a smashed box.
Uh-huh.
And it says, don't want the product from the return bin.
Dislike the fact
that the box looked like
it had been dropped,
kicked, or thrown around.
And why the fuck
did you pick it up?
Yeah, you took it off
the shelf, idiots.
You look at cereal boxes,
the ones that are all bashed in,
you don't buy those.
You pick them up behind it.
What are you doing?
You leave that one.
What are they,
run out of great value
fruit fucking spins at Walmart.
Probably not.
There's probably another box.
It's the grocery store.
That's why there's several ones.
You get the one you like.
And this person is put a review on here, put a picture up like you bought a shitty box of fruit.
Yeah, it's on you.
Their opinion matters the least to me.
The least.
Well, this person here, I tend to believe them because they're going
right for the jugular here oh uh one star yuck with three exclamation points okay i can honestly
say that this is the absolute worst cereal i've ever eaten downright disgusting i found the perfect
place for it dot dot dot garbage. Four exclamation points.
They think we knew you were going to say that.
I say if I give you, I don't know, one guess of what they're going to say.
I bet you get it.
As soon as the either there or or up a Walton's ass.
That's either one up Sam Walton's corpse's ass.
I'm going to dig it up and pour mushy Fruit Loops on him.
You cheap fucking jerk.
You cheap bastard.
As soon as the milk skims the surface, it turns to mush.
Oh, my God.
Apparently, this really does get soggy fast because that's every review.
I will never buy Great Value cereal again because i refuse to gamble on the quality
there we go okay so all right we've gotten a workout we were hungry so we had to get ourselves
some fruit spins yeah now it's time to wind down after a day of fruit spins and working out with
time to relax everybody pull up everybody grab a glass and let's all pour ourselves some Lord Calvert's Canadian whiskey.
Yeah.
Now, the reason specifically why we're reviewing this is an episode of Small Town Murder, our other podcast.
Lord Calvert whiskey and doing an absolutely horrifically brutal murder and just leaving someone under a pile of clothes. And to me, I said, what is up with this Lord Calvert's to make it possible that this is happening?
So on Google, it has 2.3 stars, which isn't great.
That's terrible.
Out of five?
Yeah, out of five.
That's not good.
Not a lot of reviews. Yeah, out of five. That's not good. Not a lot of reviews on there.
The reviews are from different sites, alcohol sites and stuff like that.
We'll give you a couple of people who like it first, and you can imagine.
What's your day like?
Who likes the type of whiskey that a man who drinks two liters of it before noon in a trailer and then cuts a woman's head off might fucking.
This is what they like.
Okay.
This is 80 out of 100 on this one website.
Okay.
Okay.
$9 for 750 milliliters, by the way.
So cheap.
Very cheap.
Okay.
$9.
$9.
This is a $9 cheap whiskey.
Oh, boy.
Sweet, creamy toffee with hot and spicy undertones i don't believe you
builds gradually to a peak then fades into classic bitter pith pith pith this is this is
drink behind a dumpster whiskey this is pith is not involved here. This is drink when you're sad and just lost your job whiskey because you can't afford
other whiskey.
Drink when you're when you're ready to take it out on yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your girlfriend fucked your brother on the table at Thanksgiving that you drink this
whiskey and your dad.
No.
Yeah.
You go outside, sit in the snow by the garage and drink this whiskey and your dad's here no yeah you go outside sit in the snow by the
garage and drink this whiskey uh caramels mute the hardness of rye grain as it to as it too
fades and advancing waves of gingery pepper i don't believe a word of this this is crazy
definitely a mixing whiskey now lord calvert tells one and
all that their cocktail was made with good with wood aged whiskey hints of grassiness and dry
white wine add breath breath with a d by the way to a pith and breath to a whiskey that in days
long past was intended to be sipped neat what nine dollars nine dollars no none of that
shit it got me so drunk i thought my cousin was pretty and he's a man that's the fucking review i
want and cheat five stars yeah i poured it into a two liter bottle of rc to kill the flavor it's bad there's no way this is good when mixed
with hawaiian punch it ain't bad definitely a mixing whiskey oh i believe that yeah four parts
whatever and fucking half part whiskey um okay here's five stars again tasty smooth whiskey it's awesome with canada dry ginger ale in a full cup of ice so
a bunch of loads of water and soda and ginger ale which is a good strong i love ginger ale good
strong flavor so crazy the icing on the cake is the great price it's very similar to crown royal
which is also garbage it's also bad also bad here's just because it comes in a velvet bag doesn't mean
it's a good whiskey it comes with a weed holder is what it comes with yeah this is a place to
keep amazing a couple of bowls five stars it's pretty good whiskey i don't believe you it's smooth with a lot of vanilla
overtones plus it's not bitter at all with more sweetness and flavor than black velvet
you're you're recalling awful whiskeys in comparison yeah that's none of these are
that's what i'm like what the fuck here's one that I like here. This is good.
There's no star amount, but it says, quote, I love this stuff.
It's the best.
Those are separate sentences.
I love this stuff.
It's the best.
People that say that shit drink 10 high.
Wow.
He was drunk.
I love this stuff.
It's the best.
It's the best.
It's so good. I can't feel my tongue yeah it's so
good hey hey brian you're pretty cute i know her cousins i've been telling you you're just looking
good lately don't touch my face i can't feel it can you feel it try try sweet and flavorful with just you feel my do i have a face feel it
sweet and flavorful with just the right bite i'm not a whiskey expert we got that. We know. You don't got to tell us.
And only an occasional whiskey drinker.
But when I do, I prefer CLC.
Who are you? Canadian Lord Calverts.
Nothing tastes the same.
That I believe.
That I believe.
Besides some Ronson fluid that he got out of his fucking Zippo.
Maybe.
Transmission fluid in his car yeah this whiskey i knew why the five star reviews would be funnier than the one star review so this is this is fucking here's the last five star review but
it's it's gold okay yeah joanne gave five stars quote I'm not much of a drinker. No?
No.
At all is the next sentence.
It has been about three years since I've had a drink.
And last time I had one, last time I had one glass of wine while I wrapped gifts.
But I love this it very good.
Then it just says there's like three spaces and then a period with a lowercase k.
It's starting to take a hold.
This person is hammered.
This is pretty good.
They're reviewing it after they drank it.
I'm not even sure if this is still good.
I have had it for seven years, lol.
I don't know if this.
Oh, it's working.
It's working.
Listen, Joanne, I think it's working.
I think you got this.
Yeah.
I think it's okay.
It still works.
She's typing it while she's sipping it.
Shit face.
This is pretty good.
Okay.
Let's get into the star ones we'd expect here one star okay horrible yeah terrible next
taste of cheap grain there you go yeah worse than a bad blended scotch whiskey glad they offered a
mini oh he glad didn't spend much money on this. Glad that mini.
What's the mini?
40 cents for a fucking shot of this shit?
It's got to be, right?
At best, a dollar.
Most.
99 cent special.
Yeah.
One star.
Quote, gets the job done.
I bet it does.
One star.
One star.
Gets the job.
I mean, it does get you drunk.
There is alcohol in it, so as advertised.
I'm fucked up.
It is 90 proof as advertised, but other than that.
Not a fan of how I feel.
Yeah, it's not good.
Tastes of grain, thin consistency mouthfeel.
Yeah.
Burns like the Dickens.
So much for smooth.
Anyone who says like the Dickens shouldn't be drinking this
have you ever said like the dickens in a non-sarcastic way no if you are like the dickens
burns like this shit's spicy wow price is cheap and it gets the job done. Just spend a little more and do your gut a favor.
Evan Williams.
Just get Evan Williams.
Yeah, that's as far down as you want to go.
And that's not good booze.
No, that's second to bottom shelf.
But, you know.
That's a shelf under Jack Daniels.
And Jack Daniels is bad shit.
That's rot.
That'll rot you too.
Yes.
Here is one and a half stars. One and a half on this one website too yes here is one and a half stars uh-huh one and a half on this
one website you can do one and a half uh uh quote it could be worse no it could not get you drunk
and taste this bad i guess yeah that would be worse probably you could hurt like this and be
sober oh man that would be awful no one would. Clean, crisp taste of acetone and expired cookie dough.
Expired cookie.
That's very specific.
That's dangerous.
This person's looked in his fridge and went, well, it's old, but I don't know.
It's two in the morning.
Fuck it.
I'm eating it.
This tastes like rubbing alcohol and salmonella.
And salmonella, yeah.
And chocolate chips for some reason.
There's raw eggs in cookie dough.
So if it's bad, you'll shit.
You're going down.
You're going to shit either way, Mr. Allergic to Eggs.
Not good for you.
The next sentence is my favorite.
Kicks like an angry mule going down.
Oh, God.
That's very descriptive.
Fuck.
And burns like the dickens.
So front end is a little rough on this bitch, let's just say.
Absolutely terrible, but far from the worst.
Yeah, he said it could be worse.
He's drank worse.
He's drank worse.
I always keep a bottle around for medicinal purposes and cheap blackouts.
This is an alcoholic.
Yeah.
Cheap blackouts.
Cheap blackouts.
You get blackout drunk for like $4.
That's not bad.
I've had a terrible day.
Where's that fucking Lord Calvert?
Where are you, Lord Calvert?
Lord Calvert, take me away.
Oh, my God.
Here we go.
The price is right.
One star.
This was just, this was the on-the-go to buy for many a year.
$10 handle down at the local wine co.
Mixed $10 handle.
Oh, my God.
Mixed it, shot it, and straight out of the bottle.
Just the thought of the smell
makes my stomach lurch these days yeah it's a good whiskey to black out sections of your youth with
i've i've moved on to glass bottles yeah oh they're plastic oh yeah they're plastic you
think for nine dollars you're getting glass? Fuck you.
Holy shit.
This is fucking interesting.
Guys that are buying handles of whiskey.
Handles.
Oh, Jesus.
That's a very specific man.
Grab yourself a handle and come on in.
That's a mad man.
Okay, let's move on from Lord Calvert here because I think we got the idea here that it's terrible.
It's the mistake everybody's made that now the smell of it ruins their day it destroys it let's move on to i'm
gonna tell this like a story let's move on to the days in by windham uh here which is west of ann
arbor in michigan it's the west the days in by windham albion, and it's west of Ann Arbor in Michigan here.
Okay.
Does Wyndham own Days Inn now?
I believe Days Inn by Wyndham.
They must here.
Wow.
So let's check this out.
It's 2.5 stars on Google, and it lists it as a two-star hotel, which is not great.
That's terrible.
The rooms look like they're from 1989.
The weird green carpet with flowers on it, the bedspreads that look, you know, they're gross.
Two stars means you get towels, right?
It means there's towels, but don't expect there to be coffee in the lobby there.
So let's start our journey on the days in and find out about it here.
Let's start out.
This is some people like it.
Okay.
This is from nine years ago.
This is someone's very hopeful here.
They give it four out of five stars, and they say, okay, there's a lot of updating that's needed, but this hotel is also under new management.
Oh, it could get better.
I was able to witness them in the middle of the remodeling and fixing what is needed.
They have a big task ahead of them, but I know that they will achieve this.
I know they can do it.
I know it.
Their hospitality is wonderful!
Three exclamation points.
So, they are hopeful.
This is a person looking for positives and finding them.
Okay.
Now let's move on to four stars again.
Quote, it's better than America's best.
America's best.
Which is not good.
It's better than sleeping in a dumpster.
That's what they just said.
Yeah.
America's best is titled like VIP nails.
Like you'll never see a VIP in there.
At least the vagabond Inn fucking named itself
accordingly. At least they were honest with
us when we knew what we were getting into
when we stayed there. They're Vagabonds here.
Yeah. We knew we were splitting a $100
room is what we knew what we were doing. That's all.
So it's better than
America's Best. They are trying to
and they use the number two. So right away
I don't know if I trust this person.
Trying to live they use the number two so right away i don't know if i trust this person trying to live crew clean the place up but it's hard to pick and choose the guest well you if your prices are low then your guests are going to you know you can choose your
guests in a hotel you just go i want people who are willing to pay this much money and then you just immediately choose your guess.
Seems some people may live there.
That's not great.
That's too cheap. A lot of construction
stayers. So people doing like local
work, transient construction workers.
Okay. Here's three stars.
Angel's
not thrilled. Okay. No.
The service was good, but the room not so much if the room was any
worse i would have asked for a different room it was right at her threshold for for filth just at
the line just at the one more thing this is the only level of grime that i'll stay in one more
pube in the shower and i'm leaving. That's all there is to it.
There were some obvious renovations and it wasn't very clean. We
stayed because the beds were clean and comfortable.
You get what you pay for.
At least they understand.
I paid nothing so I'm getting
nothing. Here's another
person here. This is from Brandon.
This is five stars.
This is the most amazing review i've ever read
of anything ever five stars one sentence here we go i get kicked out every time but still get to go
back there you go five stars five stars you just explained the hotel is what you just did
they kick people out then let them come and
stay there again and then people go you can't choose the people well the ones you kick out
you cannot let back in that's one way to choose people i've never been kicked out of a hotel
before no no no this is well i mean i got kicked out before i got to check in but that's it that's
yeah that's a different story if you fall asleep in the lobby, they don't like that.
They hate that shit.
As you were found out in Detroit.
So here's five stars.
Last five star one.
Again, this is a journey, everybody.
Yeah.
This is from Zachary.
Quote, let me use their phone when my truck broke down.
Five stars.
I didn't stay there.
I didn't stay there.
I got the fuck out.
They let me use their phone. This is from two years ago and he didn't have a phone so this tells you again what we're dealing with getting
kicked out of a shitty two-star hotel and also letting me use my phone when the truck breaks
down okay yeah one star people who might be half sane now Now these people, uh, this is Cassandra one star quote.
Let me first start off and say beds weren't made and there was trash everywhere in the room.
That's bad.
Wasn't made.
And there was trash in the room that says,
uh,
you put,
you gave me the wrong room.
This is one that's not somebody still in there.
Yeah,
this is,
they didn't make it yet.
This is not a room.
And it's somebody else's fucking,
this is not a room. This is not a room. It's somebody else's fucking.
This is not a room.
This is not a room that you can give to people.
This has not been made a room yet. No, it's not a room yet.
If there's someone else's fucking funk on the pillowcase and they're trash everywhere, this isn't a room.
Sorry.
You sent me into somebody else's house briefly.
Please give me. Temporary domicile.ile and it gets worse it gets worse from here oh god uh liquor in the fridge that stunk i think there was liquor
in the fridge and the fridge stunk is what i'm going to gather from that okay there's some lord
calvert's in there little lord calvert's in there it takes the edge off a little bit uh no wi-fi or cable i will never stay at
this hotel again bedding had blood stains on it that's your lead right there that's what you say
first blood blood don't don't care that there's booze in the fridge there's blood don't care
everything else is a moot point once there's blood and chair has stains on it and so do the bed we know what stains those are yeah yeah you found
that's blood too jizz everywhere yeah this room is full of dna let's just say that worst hotel
ever ever ever okay here comes brad yeah here comes look at the big brain on brad here one star
on brad brad said quote well this i love when
they start out with well they got a lot to say well i had my laptop stolen from my room as well
as my prescription meds someone stole all of his things of value from his room everything was
street value street but yeah anything that could be resold

twice after we have some sort of fucking orgy in your room we had an orgy and stole We'll take everything of value, but don't worry, we'll only charge you twice.
After we have some sort of fucking orgy in your room.
What the fuck? We had an orgy and then stole your stuff.
Why don't you lead people?
We let people bleed on your bed and leave their McDonald's wrappers behind.
There are so many reasons not to stay here that I can't even scratch the surface.
And then all caps, nasty rooms.
Yeah.
Oof, Brad, wow.
Here comes Judd with one star.
Mm-hmm.
This is fun.
The wall has two big holes in it.
And he doesn't mean the windows either.
He means the arms are supposed to be there.
They aren't covered with glass?
No glass in them.
The curtains are ripped down, A, put on the floor. I guess and put on the floor. Curtains are ripped uh a put on the floor i guess and put on the floor curtains
are ripped down and put on the floor talk to the that's not great either no talk to the front desk
and they said it's been like that for a while oh well no never mind we made a phone call or two
sorry i didn't realize you wanted it like that you You were keeping it like that. That's how we like it.
There was mold in the bathroom ceiling.
Oh, God. And they haven't come to clean the room or make the beds in three days.
It's a non-smoking room, and it reeks of cigarettes and stuff.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Reeks of cigarettes. there's no punctuation in
the sentence i'm trying to figure it out and stuff is always missing out of the fridge and there is
no breakfast like they say you want to eat at this place we've been here three days we keep putting
food in the fridge and it just disappears all my computer is gone but there's no breakfast
i want the pastries.
Wow.
Here is a person who I don't know what the fuck they were thinking because they book this like this is our getaway thing.
What?
Okay.
One star.
Here we go.
So three O's.
So dot, dot, dot.
I booked this for a quote spa night.
That was your first mistake.
Why?
I called every 10 to 15 minutes when left work.
It was an hour and a half drive from Clarkson.
No one answered.
All caps.
Arrived and no one at the desk.
All caps was getting really nervous thinking I just booked a room and wouldn't get one due to no one available.
I even called Wyndham Corporation and they said they couldn't get no one to answer.
They said, we can't get no one to answer.
There's nobody there.
Finally, all caps, about 20 minutes later, the, quote, night hostess came back to the counter.
Oh, boy.
Is that a quote or is that her job title which one
is it she said like quote like night like i know she was blowing someone for ten dollars like that's
what she made it sound like when asked where she was and what took her so long what where were you
what took you so long jesus none of your business she lamely stated that she was quote fixing a tv oh well received
my room key and so ready to get into the jacuzzi to relax only to get in a room quote had to wiggle
and jiggle the card the key card to open the door all right well that happens sometimes to see a
really super small jacuzzi tub it's a days in by windham what did you expect you super small jacuzzi tub.
It's a days in by Wyndham.
What did you expect?
You booked a jacuzzi day at the days in.
At the days in by Wyndham.
It's a two star place.
That's what I'm saying.
Sometimes it's your fault.
You know what I mean?
This is on you.
Yeah, just put a tarp in your pickup bed and drain your hot water heater into it.
That's a better spot.
Much better.
So if any of you plan on a, quote, romantic night here.
What?
You've got to hang the curtains up first unless you want everyone to be outside watching.
Forget it, exclamation point.
The room color coordination really clashed is that a complaint the colors clashed the carpets were clearly newer than the trapes wow oh man uh
seems like they were in the middle of updating and just said quote forget it good enough
the bed was clean trust me i tore it apart and looked at every nook and cranny.
Actually, they say book and cranny, but I assume they mean nook and cranny.
I like book better.
I like book better.
Carpets were okay.
Could use a good cleaning, but are kept up.
All right, well, good.
Coffee pot and bathroom did not use due to where it was.
Toilet and shower were clean.
So to come and sleep here would be okay for the night, but don't try to do a getaway here.
Who the fuck would?
I can't believe you did.
It's not a vacation spot.
It's the club med west of Ann Arbor.
You fucking idiot.
What are you talking about?
I found a day's end that has jacuzzi tubs.
Why would you sit in that?
Oh, God.
Imagine what's been in there.
Gross.
Not worth the money.
Okay.
Here we go.
It gets better.
One star.
Forgot to read the reviews before reserving an express deal.
The reviews were horrible.
And I love this.
This is going to tell us about their life.
A little quote.
I took a loss and reserved another room
elsewhere and ended up having a bad experience
there as well oh my god
it's just a bad night overall
here is uh
Christina one star the
city shut off their water mid
shower need I say more
what
shut off
the water to the whole place shut off the hotel's water for lack of fucking whatever
need i say more then that was about a year ago then also a year ago it might be condemned now
they might be shutting it down one star interesting interesting that windham let me reserve a room
with points only to drive 75 miles to find the place closed.
I see now from another commenter that the building has been condemned.
Condemned.
Condemned, which sounds appropriate.
Yeah.
They were letting people stay there.
Yeah.
Then the next review is one star from four months ago.
They're back.
Yeah.
I guess.
Oh, they're open again.
They're back from condemnation.
Quote, stayed two days and had
to beg for clean towels oh my god no pool had strange people walking the halls at night
if you have little ones don't take them there oh bad things are sure they were real people
yeah right yeah we're is that are you positive you positive? Did you talk to these people?
Did they talk back?
Let's talk about it, Nicole.
Holy.
One star.
Desk clerk did nothing.
Oh?
Room's in awful condition.
We'd been driving back home over 10 hours and just wanted a clean place to rest.
Motel smells like smoke.
Rooms have ripped comforters,
holes barely patched in room and bathrooms,
showers dirty and heads rusty.
Breakfast is last night's coffee.
That's why.
And bread.
I don't know, does Spunkmeyer?
Yeah.
And bread that I watched the guy take out of a package
with his fingers and put in a container.
Ew.
No compensation offered. Here as a bread and coffee listen take it out here you go bread and coffee holy shit uh let's
see we're gonna do one more of these here no you know what let's leave off here because there's
hope actually because oh people talk during this and it comes up where it might be
turning around so let's see if maybe maybe this can turn it around no we'll finish it right now
here we go okay the carpet and furniture were worn dirty looking wi-fi didn't work there were
construction workers hanging out in the parking lot and drinking and playing music and running
their truck well past 1 a.m.
Yeah, those are guys that just got off work.
Yeah, they just got off work, and they got Ranchero music bumping,
and that's what goes on.
The side door next to our room, which we were told would be locked at 10 p.m., was constantly banging as the men went in and out all night.
The manager could do nothing to resolve this.
Got zero sleep.
This is good, too. Dusty coffee pot pot in the bathroom water was leaking in the tub in the tub no hand soap holes all over
the walls and the ac was blowing debris out and i'm pretty sure there were blood stains on my sheets
pretty sure the pool and vending machine were broken. Oh, they got a pool now.
Yeah, there were only two lamps in the room and no other lights.
When I plugged my phone charger in, sparks flew.
Jesus Christ.
Sounds like it should still be condemned.
No, shit, you would have better luck sleeping in a crack shack, whatever that might be.
Now, a month ago and four weeks ago though two good reviews one
person says basically great area for for uh door dashers as well rooms are clean a little run down
but decent attendees are pretty good about getting you what you need if you run out of something
i i i have not had but their complimentary breakfast looks good okay good shit then there's
another five star four weeks ago quote i don't
know why they're getting bad reviews everything was great so maybe it's turning around nope three
weeks ago one star quote this is from christy quote nope just nope even if you are desperate, you will leave with some sort of disease or infection like we did.
What did they get?
They've been diseased and infected.
They don't specify?
They don't say.
We could try to find and hunt it down.
I want you to know I'm embarrassed.
She's got infections.
Let's leave days in there.
We'll start off next week with how people think of Trojan ribbed condoms because there's some
funny shit there. That's going to be what we'll start out with
