Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, everybody. Welcome back to your stupid opinions. Hey. Thank you so much for joining us today on another episode of a show where we hear from people we don't want to hear from about places we'll never go. So it's fun. Can't wait to get into this this week. We have some fun stuff for you. My name is James Petro Gallo.
Starting point is 00:00:33 I'm here with my co-host. I'm Jimmy Wiseman. All right. Thank you so much for joining us. This is going to be so much fun. Let's head back to Japan, everybody. Yeah. What do you say here?
Starting point is 00:00:43 The 7-Eleven in Japan. And I've seen from last week, several people have said they spent a lot of time in Korea. They said they are everywhere in Korea. Is that right? Or at least were when they were there 20 years ago or something. They said they were on every corner way more than there are in the U.S. Very interesting. So they have taken over.
Starting point is 00:01:01 We're like, man, how does 7-Eleven stay in business? Who know? Eight ratty stores per city? It's because in Asia they rule the world apparently. Fucking killing it. They're crushing it over there. So let's dive back in. There's only a few more reviews for this one to do,
Starting point is 00:01:15 and then we'll get to some other stuff, but we didn't have time for them last week. Okay. People were upset as we left because, well, number one, in Japan, the culture is not like it is in America. So there's a lot of politeness going on over there. It's a little bit different, but in a 7-Eleven, somehow it retains the spirit of America,
Starting point is 00:01:36 where even these polite employees turn very rude. So it's fun. So here is one star from Beats the Shit out of Me. A bunch of characters that I don't understand. Korean language. One looks like an old TV set, though. That's nice. I don't know what letter that is.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Oh, what bunny ears? No, no, no. It's just like a square with little legs coming off. That's like an old zenith. Dick Cabot in the middle of it. Yeah, yeah, he's on there interviewing James Fonda. It's perfect. Here is one star.
Starting point is 00:02:03 After paying, the rice balls were dropped twice while the staff was bagging. them, but they didn't replace them. Gross. You drop food like on the floor. And rice balls. That feels like those pick up hair. That's hilarious that 7-Eleven in Japan has rice balls. On the griller?
Starting point is 00:02:19 I guess. They roll real nice. I think they're next to the hot dogs. Next to the tornadoes. Here they have that shit pizza. Yeah. I've seen people like, I was in a, when we were on the road at one point, I was in a 7-Eleven at like one in the morning and someone was ordering an entire 7-Eleven pizza.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Like, whole thing. They walked in like, I'll have a large pie. Like, they were at a fucking pizza place. I was like, are you joking? I never even thought the option was all the pieces. No. Or you might say I'll take whatever pieces of everything. You don't say, get me a whole, just make me a pizza.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I'll have the whole thing. That is wild shit. So on the floor, rice balls. Here is tutelar. There's actual letters, so that's good. One star. In the morning, all the staff just tell you the price and then leave. What?
Starting point is 00:03:05 They tell you the price and then leave. I think he's, okay, I think he means you leave. after they tell you how much it costs. Oh. You go up to the counter. They just ring it up and tell you what the price is. They don't make like conversation with you. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:16 They don't even say thank you. That's why I think they're like. Here's, that's what it is and leave. Yeah, that's a 7. That's 7.11. Yeah. That's, you got it. Now you know what American culture is.
Starting point is 00:03:27 It's like visiting. It's like a little slice of America. I'm shocked that they expect more. It's amazing. I think they expect more from everywhere over there. No matter how many times I say thank you, everyone's behavior is bad. I can't get them to be polite,
Starting point is 00:03:41 no matter what I do. I have manners and they don't. I just see like a very disappointed Japanese person writing that. It's all going away. Here is one star from no fucking idea. I was very annoyed
Starting point is 00:03:55 when a sales clerk in his 50s wearing lots of jewelry spoke to me in a casual manner. That was annoying? I was very annoyed. I was very annoyed. I don't know if they're annoyed that he's in his 50s, wearing lots of jewelry.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Or was that like an aggravating fact? Like, how dare you speak to me in a casual manner? In a casual manner while you wear jewelry and are you 53 years old? You know, like, that's... You don't get to do that. What do they mean in a casual? Hello? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:25 The last guy was complaining because Noah would talk to him in a casual one. Did you call you by your name? Is that casual? Maybe. The last guy was complaining all about that. Then finally, last one, this is. but no idea again. One star, it's the worst.
Starting point is 00:04:41 I bought fried food, but they only deducted the money and didn't put it in the bag. That's, yeah, that happens all the time. Wait, what? Apparently, they bought fried food and they charged him for it and then handed him an empty bag. Oh.
Starting point is 00:04:59 And he left the store like that. Whoops. I don't know. Maybe had other shit in the bag, I hope. Deduct. I paid for it. This is not here. I called later and they didn't acknowledge it.
Starting point is 00:05:09 It's pretty awful. If you've ever had a problem with this, make sure you put it in a bag. Completely ripped off. Now is he saying to cover your dick now? Make sure to bag that soldier. Bag it up. Bag it up, man. Okay, so let's get away from there.
Starting point is 00:05:24 All right. Let's head to Queens, New York. Is there 7-Eleven there? No, there is the museum of the moving image there. Oh, movies? I guess so. It's the history of film, television, and digital media told via interactive displays plus screenings. That sounds awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:41 That could be pretty good. I've actually heard it's pretty cool, too. This is 4.6 stars out of 4200 reviews. So that's pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah, this is in Queens on 3601, 35th Avenue, Queens here. All right, let's find out what people think. Mike says five stars.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Here we go. Valentine's Date with Bay. Oh, Jesus Christ. B-A-E? Oh, yeah. Or Michael Bay. Or Michael Bay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Just me and Michael Bay. We were watching all of his explosions on a loop. So much transforms. This is from two weeks ago, too. Oh. We were well beyond that. If this is from 10 years ago, I'll give you a pass. And you missed Valentine's Day two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:06:23 That's real weird. Well, two weeks ago from when it got three years. So it's around Valentine's Day. A lot of exhibits, including the Sopranos set designs, designs, and a whole slew of puppets from the Henson's Foundation. Okay. All right. Tons of childhood memorabilia loved the Star Wars toys.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Really? Is this a, what is this? This an antique shop? Right. It was very crowded on this Valentine's Day. A lot of interactive exhibits with young couples standing in line to participate. Sure. They have a nice cafe and sitting area on the first floor where we had our caffeinated beverages,
Starting point is 00:06:58 Mia Moka Latte, and enjoyed each other's conversations. and recap of the exhibits we just experienced. This guy sounds exhausting. Do they have a coffee shop inside this place? I'm sure. Yeah, they have a little like a cafe thing. All these museums have cafes. Acationated beverages.
Starting point is 00:07:13 So this guy sounds like a douche. He's a pain in the ass. Between the, like they sound like the couple with the Weimariner in Best and Show. They sound like Parker Posey and the other guy. What'd you do? He needs his bait. That's not a bait.
Starting point is 00:07:28 That's what I picture here. Like the J. Crew guy. Jay Crew with the coffee. Let's go look at that exhibit. I had a latte. I'm still a latte guy. Oh, boy. I'm still a latte guy.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Evealina, five stars. We had a wonderful visit to the moving image, to the museum of the moving image, two floors of thoughtfully curated exhibits and a beautiful Jim Henson exhibition. Did it have the, like, the Z-pack that would have saved his life there at the end? That should be the last thing on there. And if he took this, none of the shit would be here because it'd still be making fucking shows. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming and the staff were incredibly kind, especially the staff member on the first floor who made us feel comfortable right away. Right. What did they do?
Starting point is 00:08:13 Tucked our shirts in. Said hello? Untucked our shirts. Untucked our shirts. Loosened up our belts one notch and they're like, you're better, right? Feels better? That's right. My children really enjoyed the visit.
Starting point is 00:08:23 We were happy to leave a donation and would absolutely recommend this museum to families. And a donation. And a donation. All the museums take donations, too. After the fact. So you pay admission and then they're like, did you like it? Did you like it more than your admission fee? That or when you're paying initially, you can pay the ticket cost or you can add more.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Like I took my daughter to the Museum of Natural History and I gave a donation with the ticket price. Oh. Like the FDR Museum and do more for that because it's a nice museum. That's cool shit. And they just say it was $30, but if you think it's worth more. If you try and want to give more, that's great. If you want to donate. So it has pictures here of Miss Piggy in her wedding.
Starting point is 00:09:01 dress. Sure. We got a big bird. Did she marry Kermit eventually? Is that what it is? I think that. I thought that was just supposed to be edging all the time. Yeah, I think that was the episode where she showed up in her wedding dress and Kermit
Starting point is 00:09:13 disappeared and lived in the Nevada desert for three years to get away from her probably. One of those. They got Big Bird and the Cookie Monster and some other shit there. Lewis, two stars. Or Luis, whatever. If you've really done everything in New York, then you can check it out. Don't do it. do everything else.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Until you've seen the tree and... In literally the city that never sleeps. Yeah, ate some gum off the bottom of the subway platform. You went to all the parks. You went to all the museums of Manhattan. You've had all the best cups of coffee. You've seen the opera. You've fucking gone to the top of the Empire State Building.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Every show. You've done it all. Every Broadway show that's playing. Then come here. Easily done in an hour. Not that engaging or interesting. How's that not interesting? I don't know. I don't know what they want exactly, too. It's a little place in Queens. It's not the Museum of Natural History, you know?
Starting point is 00:10:06 It's just talking about movies. That's it. It's it. Movies and TV shit. I've just now gotten into actually enjoying cinema where I like give a fuck. Yeah. And I like watched, I watched the Oscars. And it was great. I had so much fun. And listening to people give a shit about it. I'd love to see this museum. This sounds awesome. What the fuck could not be interesting about that. I don't know. I don't get it. I didn't see the Oscar. It's all real stuff, right? It's not just like, no, no, no, it's all shit. Phony Miss Piggy shit.
Starting point is 00:10:36 No, no, no, no. Some fucking puppets from Jim Henson's puppets. I'm assuming they have many Miss Piggy's. Yeah, I'm sure there's a shitload of gonzo's. Oh, yeah. Seeing any of them is pretty cool. That'd be neat. Yeah, it's all very nice.
Starting point is 00:10:46 It looks cool. And I don't know what you expect, too. It's in Queens, for Christ sake. Right. You know, like, what do you want? You're lucky. The shit survived. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:53 John, two stars. more security staff than exhibits and really officious. I really want you to be in lines and go here and don't go there. Officious. No, officious. What is that? They're officiating a lot. Oh,
Starting point is 00:11:06 Oh, Ficious. Yeah, telling you what to do and how to do it. When I went, they had YouTube videos. Can see that anywhere. Some Star Wars figures have those at home.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Well, sorry, nerd. Fuck. We don't realize that you had the full Star Wars collection. If you've gotten pussy in your life, this is this museum's for you. you. This guy, I don't hear about him going with his Valentine or anything like that. He didn't say anything about Bay. Or even a friend for that matter. This feels like it's a lone trip. I'm just here not impressed. And the Muppets exhibition, which was good, and this is a great New York sentence here, but not worth the Schlep across town. The Schlep across town is very New York.
Starting point is 00:11:45 It's a long walk. It's a schlep. Here we go. Jay, two stars. This is in all caps with no punctuation. I don't understand it at all. Cool, but I'm not friendly. He's not friendly? Apparently so, but it's cool, but he's just not friendly. I don't know that is. This next person posted 50 pictures on their review. 50. Now we don't even need to go. 50. Yeah. It's the whole museum. They have 109 reviews on their Google thing with 17151 photos. God damn. Yeah. So they actually... 17 per. Per. 100. Yeah, no, that would be...
Starting point is 00:12:24 1700 photos and 100 reviews? Yeah, so 50, she went light on this one. I was getting that. Wow. This is actually, she didn't find enough to take pictures. Yeah. One star, Heather here. This is the one with all the pictures.
Starting point is 00:12:37 My experience coming here for the first time was disappointing. I brought my daughter here to see the Jim Henson display and found the two displays were taken down. Oh, no. And we're not expecting, and we're, I guess we're not expecting. this she was most excited to see them here 50 fucking pictures but zero commas not a fucking this is a paragraph with not a drop of punctuation Jesus Christ came all the well she's mad James I'm a picture type when you're rage type and you forget periods and commas just take up space she was very upset and disappointed the display
Starting point is 00:13:15 yeah were the two dark crystal figures the hunter and a gelfing we draw from Philadelphia to this museum specifically to see this display. Well, gee, too bad there's literally nothing else to do in New York City but this. There's no other museums. There's nothing else to do. The gift shop was not very much in there. Either my daughter was hoping to buy something with more of the Jim Henson like pins or magnets, but it lacks nothing very interested.
Starting point is 00:13:42 But it lack of nothing. But I think it's but it lack. I don't know what the of is, but then the next sentence. Nothing very interesting, and the customer service was awful asking about displays or directions. They were not very helpful at all. So I will not be visiting this museum in the near future. It's a nightmare, James. She's got pictures.
Starting point is 00:14:02 She's got pictures I hear of like the mask thing, like the mask, a picture of the head from the mask. Really? Yeah, they got that and she's got like a Chewbacca head there. Like the Jim Carrey movie? Yeah. The mask is there. That's crazy. And they have like literally like a Chewbacca's head.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah. Like that seems pretty cool. This is awesome. Seems like you went to go see one display and it was down, which sucks. Yeah, but there's props from so many different movies. Yeah, it's, I don't know. I think you're expecting too much. Yeah, this isn't Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:14:32 All this shit came from the other side of the country. Yeah, I feel like people have, like, ideas in their heads about things before they go there, and they don't realize that might not be exactly what you have in your mind. And then that doesn't make it a failure. Right. It just makes it not what you imagine. Whatever you did in that. You just, you created something else.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Oh, man. Here's Alyssa with one star. She, her kid got, started cutting up in there, it sounds like, Oh. My child accidentally pushed a kiosk button out of place. Kiosk button. Out of place. Trying a picture what that would be.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Broke it? No, nothing was broken, she says. And it could simply be pressed back in. The kiosk was still fully functional and other visitors continued printing their photos without any problems. However, we were the only ones denied actually. Oh, boy. Even worse, the staff deleted the email containing our photo, something they absolutely have no right to do with the visitor's property. You're not allowed to have the email.
Starting point is 00:15:31 The picture anymore. How do you delete your picture? So they went into her email and click delete? That's what I mean. I don't get how they, yeah, maybe they have your password. Do they take your phone? I don't think this is, this is very confusing. Yeah, very confusing. She's rage typing, James.
Starting point is 00:15:48 That's what happens. She's got paragraphs and punctuation, so I'll give her that. She's just losing her train of thought. Wow. When we tried to ask for clarification or any alternative solution, the staff refused any communication and simply shut us down. We don't know what happened to you. They deleted an email that you sent them. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Who cares? This was not about safety or equipment protection. It felt like a punitive decision targeted solely at our family. Oh, she's using that word word they're using lawsuits. She's starting it already. We have punitive. damages. Think about what she's saying. You walked in there. Your whole family
Starting point is 00:16:23 kids and everything. Your kid broke some shit. Staff got together and they said, get these motherfuckers right here. Look at this bitch. Look at this bitch and her stupid kid. That kid looks like it's got sticky fingers. Look at him. Wow, that is wild and it was completely unacceptable. A museum should protect its equipment. Not silence and mistreat
Starting point is 00:16:39 its visitors. Silenced their visitors. Silenced, punitive. Yeah. She's really... She's using a lot of lawyer terms. Yes, she is. Carly, one star. The museum is so wonderful. Oh. I had a
Starting point is 00:16:51 it's a shame the security is so rude. Oh, okay. I had a security guard mock me to my face after trying to
Starting point is 00:16:59 read a sign at the theater portion because I wasn't sure of what it was. Yeah, he said, it's the matter. You can't read? Some matter.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Dumbum. Again, this isn't fucking Yokohama Japan. You can expect this behavior as is Queens.
Starting point is 00:17:14 And also, if you can't read in public, yeah. And that's the there's never been a sign that I'm like, hmm, what does that say? They try to make the words very user-friendly. Especially in New York where there are people from many countries.
Starting point is 00:17:30 So they're trying to make it real plain and simple. Do not enter. What could it have possibly said that she was so confused about that somebody was like, boy, you're dumb. I can't even fucking imagine. That's just, I mean, have you ever seen coming to America? Right. You know, Daddy Murphy's out there.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Fuck you. Fuck you, too. I mean, that's... Shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Fuck up. Okay. Fawn, one star, F-O-N. Oh. Maybe it's phone. I'm not sure. Perhaps. We planned to be in NYC
Starting point is 00:18:06 over a few months ago for the week of July 4th. A couple months before our trip, I started planning our itinerary. At the time, their website did not say if they would be open for Independence Day.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Oh, they checked the website. Well, look at that. Yeah. Right away, they're on top. Yeah, yeah. Ahead of a lot of people that we deal with. I called and spoke with a guy that works there. Well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I called and spoke with some random. Somebody. I called and spoke to Supergirls. Called the fire department. That's what they thought about. I called and spoke with a guy that works there. He assured me they were open for Independence Day. I think we know what's coming now. It was close.
Starting point is 00:18:39 After our schedule had been completely made with tickets bought for other events throughout the week. This guy's vacation sounds like a fucking nightmare, by the way. It's not even. I don't want to go on those vacations where every minute is scheduled. That's not a vacation. They don't do that other places. I've never done that in my entire... Because sometimes shit runs over, man.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Sometimes you're just... I go on vacation, I want to relax. Yeah. I don't want to fucking be forced. I am on schedule now. This is a schedule. Right, right. I don't want to be on schedule.
Starting point is 00:19:08 When I go on vacation, sometimes a meal is so much more fun or comfortable than I anticipated. And I'm not leaving. Well, fucking hang it out. Like in Europe, they don't do that at all. It's much different. They're like, hey, relax. If you see it, you see it. Slow down.
Starting point is 00:19:25 After our schedule has been completely made with a ticket spot, okay, when we got here, their website finally said that they were closed for Independence Day. My kids have been looking forward to this museum, and we live on the West Coast. Needless to say, we were, but this wasn't the only thing they came for. They just said they have a ton of tickets. Fucking relax for two minutes then. Good. Now you have two free hours. Chill the fucking out.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Do whatever you. you're going to do tomorrow today? Yeah, well, they have tickets for it. It's all very scheduled. Needless to say, we were, yeah, and it was hectic to figure out some plans last minute. Was it? Oh, God, if only there was anything else to do in New York City. Go to the 9-11 museum.
Starting point is 00:20:04 It's crazy. Oh, yeah, that's, they're not quite the same vibe. No, it's not. It's a little less, it's a little less exciting. Yeah, a little more, little more down, down note. A little more low-key, I think. There are... Come on, kids.
Starting point is 00:20:21 It's party time. Start reading the names. There's a lot. That'll kill a couple hours. It'll take all day. That'll kill a few hours, yeah. Boojar, B-U-Jar, one star, wish I could have truly enjoyed the museum without this one-woman security guard with curly black-slash-brown hair being extremely rude. I expected a museum in a storia to be more friendly.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And if you didn't want people to wonder about, about, if you didn't want people to wonder about, there should be visible signs that wander about, wonder about is what they're trying to say. Which the, oh and the A are nowhere near each other. Oh, it actually says wonder. It says wonder. That's not how you still wonder. I'm reading. Yeah. This is fucking wonder.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Yeah. About that, he didn't want people to wander about, I'll just use what he's meant, meaning to say, wander about there should be visible signs that let you know where to go and where to stop. multiple times me and my family didn't know where things started and ended there was no sense of direction and it was just not our family how do you not know when it starts and ends i don't know they were wandering into what you walk past jim henson then all of a sudden that's chubaca i think the i think the muppets are over also yeah they're going into like restricted areas like if you walk into a room and there's like five employees drinking coffee and eating their lunches that's probably not part of his display yeah somebody's got anapasta and a coke and they're Watching the news. Yeah. You're not supposed to be in there. Someone's unwrapping a fucking Italian combo. I think that's not the right place, probably.
Starting point is 00:21:54 But the security and staff, completely and utterly disgusted and disappointed to how they treat and talk to visitors. A lot of attitude and not one single person being polite. Yeah. That sounds like New York. But if you were on fire, they'd help put you out. That's the difference. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:12 And they'd ask you, the fuck's wrong with you. Well, you're on fire. How'd you do this, you idiot? Jesus Christ, but they would help you. Whereas other places, they wouldn't look twice at you while you were on fire. They'd run away from you. That's what I mean. See, it's the way it works. It's not bad. When buildings are falling, they'll run toward them.
Starting point is 00:22:27 But they'll tell people walking in the building and go fuck themselves. And get the fuck out of here. What are you dumb? Unless you need life-saf and help, you can suck my fucking balls, all right, pal. Listen to me. To see the fire and smoke, get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here. What's wrong with you? Why are you still in here? What's wrong with you? I watched footage of the...
Starting point is 00:22:43 They were literally telling people to get out of here. We are so dumb. People are fucking idiots. Like moths. They just walk around. Oh, do you smell that? Oh, that's on fire. Let's go to it.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Let's go look at it. Jesus Christ. The museum would have been better if their staff was nicer and much more respectfully polite. I wish it was just my family who experienced it, but it was not. Oh, so you're concerned for others. Oh, this is a review for everybody. For everybody.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Don't worry. I got this. I'm going to... Everybody, don't put your phone down. Everybody calm down. I'll cover it. I got the one star. I got it.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Definitely not recommending any other family members or friends who visit us in NYC to go here. Okay. They live in New York. You live in New York and you're shocked that there was some attitude? What the fuck? Antonio one star. I'm shocked. That's shocking.
Starting point is 00:23:40 If half the museum is closed, the tickets should be half prices. That feels like if a tree falls in the world. And no one is by the Chewbacca mask to hear it. Anna One Star, absolutely boring. Go there only if you plan your carrier in movie making. Career. Career. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Wow. Carrier. If you plan your carrier in movie making or you are a fan of this. Why else would you go there? Unless you gave a fuck about movies, you fucking idiot. Holy. That's like saying I wouldn't go to this restaurant if you're not hungry. Yeah, no shit, obviously.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I don't plan to go to the Museum of Natural History because I'm not an archaeologist and I got no plans. What do you know about dinosaur bones? I'm going to shit. Waste of money and time. I wish I could leave right away and return my money. I guess they return it to you. Minuses. She's got pluses.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Oh, okay. The title is absolutely misleading. moving images, you expect something actually moving. Do you? I guessed it right out of the gate. I bet it's memorabilia and shit. Otherwise, it would be called a movie theater. Ha.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Fucking idiot. I thought it will be something modern 5D or at least similar. Five D? What is that? She just discovered two extra dimensions. Not just the fourth. She's into the fifth now. She wants to fuck it.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Holy shit. I thought there would be a Brad Pitt there that I could find. What can fuck? modern 5D. This lady moved past AI. She is in 5D, which... AI doesn't even exist properly yet, lady. Wow, no.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Then she says the best... This is nonsense. Yes, it is. You want 5D out of these poor people. Jesus Christ. Five. That's where you can actually touch and enjoy it, right? I think that's when you're actually in the soprano at that point.
Starting point is 00:25:40 You can actually eat the ravioli's at that point. You're worried they're going to kill you with big pussy and throw you off the boat. And you get a canola and a shot of tequila. You actually get to smack Jackie Jr. For being annoying. This is unfully 5D. 5D. This is nonsense.
Starting point is 00:25:59 When I first came to the hall, I couldn't figure out at all what was going on here. No one explains or helps. No guide. I had to go down to open, I had to go down to open Internet and read their site. Open Internet. I wish I could do it at home. You didn't check the website. You didn't check the website.
Starting point is 00:26:16 It sounds like. But people usually rely on the name of the museum itself. You could have looked it up. No. No. You didn't do any research. Showed up and said nothing's in 5D. Nothing's moving.
Starting point is 00:26:27 That's exactly what they said it was going to be. Then she's got pluses. I'm so shocked. You want to go to the museum of, what is it? It's the MIM. Modern Instrument Museum? Oh, it's our instrument museum. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:41 We should go over there and see if any of those. Those modern music instruments are in 5D. See if they're in 5D and see if they play themselves also. This piano's bullshit. Yeah. Get 5D Elton John in there playing it for them. 5D. I expected 5D.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Not even, you know, that's what I was expecting. Did she mix up 3D and 5G? Pretty sure. Yeah. She doesn't know. 5D. Which I don't even, I don't know how 5G would help you in this situation. 5D would be amazing, but we got to get to get.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Get to four first. We're plugging along here as a society. I don't think we can do that. Wow. And then the pluses, reading previous reviews that people are rude, this is not true. All staff are very nice.
Starting point is 00:27:27 The museum is clean. You can go and use earphones to see whatever they show on an old PC. Boring. So there is moving images. On a PC? Fucking liar. Yeah. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Sit down at the Dell and put the, and press play. Got a gateway showing you. They load up their real player from 2001 so you can watch it. But we got this off a lime wire. Then they show you what they're doing. Kazah was down, so we had to use lime wire, not our usual. The other ones.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Limwire was the one that fucked my whole world, man. Everybody's computers. Well, I don't know if it was amazing. I mean, it's obviously amazing for a minute until you get, until you get one. It's like a slot machine where you're like you're playing and you're playing and everything. going fine and then you're like fuck it i'm going all in for the next 30 spins so with a lime wire you download a couple and you're like oh it works great and then you're like i'm gonna dig in my brain for some of the most obscure songs that i can get yeah i'm gonna what's that what i and that's when
Starting point is 00:28:29 you fuck yourself yeah yeah torrents were much better later on torrents were a much better way to do it yeah um sean one star all right was looking forward to visiting as i am a huge muppet fan really oh yeah as soon as we walked in we had a a very unpleasant welcoming as we were yelled at by the front desk that they didn't open for another two minutes. However, the front door was unlocked and there was no indication that they were not allowing guests in at that time. There were people already in the museum. Two minutes. Two minutes.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Okay. Once we were able to check in, it felt like I was an inconvenience to everyone there. Yeah, you were the early guy. You're an asshole. You're early guy. Was slightly disappointed at how small the exhibition was. However, I had hope for the rest of the museum. The rest of the museum was half behind construction walls or just cheap chotchkes that I had seen while thrifting slash antiquing.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Spent less than one hour after paying $50 for two people and making a trek out of the main island of New York City. You can just say Manhattan. It is a long way to say Manhattan. The main island of New York City. That sounds like an alien game. I came from the main island in New York City to partake in human activities. What are you? from the cone heads?
Starting point is 00:29:42 What the fuck are you talking about? Nobody calls it that. The main island? I literally never heard a human being say the main island of New York City. Yeah, it's ain't Hawaii. Ever. No. I came from the big island.
Starting point is 00:29:55 What? What is it? What are you talking about? Jesus. Isn't that Hawaii? What are you saying? Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Manhattan. Yeah. What are you talking about? I felt genuinely ripped off. Do not recommend even for a die-hard Muppet fan. as the small corner dedicated to them was lackluster. I'd love to know how many there are of those. I mean, if you see a few Muppets, what else do you expect?
Starting point is 00:30:18 It's pretty cool. You want them to put on the Muppet show for you? Right. Play the music. I also haven't mentioned that the interactive elements were either barely working or just plain bad. How do you have a section dedicated to lighting design yet employ it so poorly one floor below? I don't know. I don't know what that even means, so it's going to be hard for you to say that.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It's because that's not the exhibit for lighting. down there. That's a good point. Would not recommend unless you want to waste your time and money. All right. Okay. Emily, one star. My husband and I had the worst experience at this museum.
Starting point is 00:30:55 We wanted to have a family trip with our daughter, which quickly got shut down. No kids allowed. So you tell you to fuck off. My daughter is seven months old, and they first told us we couldn't bring our stroller. After that, we out her stroll. Stroller back in the car. I think that's what they're going for. Then we can back in and they told us we couldn't bring our baby's formula in.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I found this outrageous. She's an infant. He said if I need to feed her to go back out to get her food. That's not fair. We say no food or drink. We mean no. We are not joking. Every woman, we squeeze their tits to make sure no milk might come out.
Starting point is 00:31:37 We squeeze them and make sure. We're like, come on. It includes emphemeal. fuck off. Yeah, I don't give a shit. No food or drink. That's crazy. When does anybody ever
Starting point is 00:31:47 spilled a bottle? Yeah, I mean, yeah, the kid's probably gonna throw up. It's not gonna dangle him above them up at this way. It'll probably just be on the floor and you can clean it up. He's not gonna be crawling around
Starting point is 00:31:57 with animal. No, never again. We'll go back to this place. All right, a couple more here. Erica, one star. Well, I would have liked to visit this. I would have liked to visit and that was my plan up
Starting point is 00:32:11 until the 23rd hour. I am from Queens, but I live in Atlanta. I never heard of this place, so I wanted to check it out while I was in town. However, since I have a seven-month-old, I am disqualified as a visitor since they don't allow strollers or large backpacks. Is this the same person?
Starting point is 00:32:27 Is this the husband? No, there was Emily and Erica. Okay, so Eric is a different person. They both have seven-month-old kids. I think they're... They're friends? They're doing something. I don't know that I like her...
Starting point is 00:32:38 Someone's involved in this. Yeah, I don't know that I like her fucking... attitude of I'm from here, but I, you're not a New Yorker anymore. No, now you live in Atlanta. Now you live in Atlanta. Now you move somewhere else. Erica's is from four years ago, and the other one's from three years ago. Wow. I don't know, maybe just.
Starting point is 00:32:53 People with seven-month-olds are drawn to this place. It's like flies to a lamp. I think it's just no seven months old. Yeah. Six-month fine, eight months old. Seven months, they're real, that's a bad age. They get real destructive in here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:07 But I think in the first six months you have a baby, you realize. that you're not allowed to really do much. Then after they're six months old, you're like, I can do so much. I'll take about that. Then you get out and you're like, oh, I really can't do anything for the next probably year and a half. Until they can walk real well on their own, it's the same if they're two months old or ten months old. Until they're eating people food.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Yeah. When they're eating little fucking. Things. Yeah. When they're eating things that isn't food. Yeah. Goldfish and shit. That's when it's fine.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Right. But when they're drinking liquid to sustain, no. No. You can't take that out of the house. Come back when he's on Teddy Graham. Yeah. Wait until he's on stage two at least. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Pushing rocks gives one star. Easily the worst museum in New York. Tiny exhibits with zero immersion. Immersion. Is that what you're looking for in amusing? Yeah. Immersion. Immersion.
Starting point is 00:33:59 And broken air conditioning. Total waste of money and there's a reason no one comes out here. Okay. Go on. What's the reason? That's it. That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:34:09 It's just tiny. We're going to hide that. Zero. Oh, my God. Scrimmy, one star, my Christ. Only thing that, quote, moved, and they put it in quotes, but they put moved was two O's. So, like, it's a cow that moved. The only thing that, quote, moved was security, and then they spell moving with two fucking O's again. They think this is.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Is that how they think it's spelled? Yeah. The only thing that moved was security, moving me away from the class of eighth graders. Yeah, get the fuck away from the kids here. around the kids. Then all caps with an exclamation point, freedom of speech is dead. What you say around the kids?
Starting point is 00:34:48 What the fuck are you, get the fuck away from the kids, you fucking weirdo. You creeped out a bunch of 13-year-olds. That's what you did. Free speech is, freedom of speech is dead. Did you talk about big pussy around the soprano's episode?
Starting point is 00:35:01 That's big pussy. Yeah. In front of the kids. Dylan one star. AC's been broken for two weeks, so it's quite uncomfortable in there during the peak summer weather. They only told us this after buying tickets, which were at full price.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Sort reviews by recent to track how long this has been an issue. Their HVAC was upgraded in 2021. Is it broken? Or does it cost too much? And then the last line, the Muppets are soggy, exclamation point. They're sweating. Can't get any soggy muffets here. A Muppet sogs.
Starting point is 00:35:32 A couple more. Two stars from M. Came all the way from London to NYC. And we came here. We had a very horrible experience with what? one of their security staff who was extremely arrogant and condescending. And that's coming from an English person. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Who are the most. Their whole brand is arrogant and condescending. That's what they've built that in this world for hundreds of years. Very familiar with it. I'd advise against going here unless they get rid of the one large guy who looks after the top floor. I mean, that's every American. That's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Can you be a little more specific? He had a sandwich in his hand still. Keep going. Complaint was made. on the day, but I don't think they took it serious. Runed a whole experience for me and my partner. You went all the way from London for this? I don't know about
Starting point is 00:36:18 that. Okay. Here is Adar, one star. Nothing works and everything is broken in this museum. I want my money back. Nothing works. And everything's broken? Everything's broken. Jim Henson exhibition is small and underwhelming.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Leave my exhibition alone. Leave it alone. The last couple of us. Stephen one star, some of the exhibits were not art, regardless of any claims, one was simply pornographic. Oh, that was it? Who knows? You know what?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Go to church instead, you fucking jackass. I'm so tired of people. You're outside. Shut up. It's a public thing. It's probably not pornographic. It may have been, I was probably something from like an old movie. I'm sure. Somebody had a little outdated. Good Lord. Who knows? I mean, I've got a
Starting point is 00:37:06 picture in my bathroom of Gone with the Wind. It's probably considered a little pornographic. It's almost a titty out. And that was when you couldn't do anything. Right. That's the code error. The Hayes code error.
Starting point is 00:37:18 So there's literally nothing allowed. And it's still pretty horny. One star. He will not divide us cult. Oh. Divide is DEV-V-I-D-E, by the way. Devide. He will not divide us cult.
Starting point is 00:37:33 No punctuation. No explanation. He. And there's five thumbs up for that. Five people knew what they. They were talking about. Five people got, found that helpful. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:44 And then finally, Roger one star, one star, quote, because it is in front of my school. I don't like its existence is what they just said. One star. One star. So, yeah, this place. Holy shit. Okay. So we've gone there.
Starting point is 00:37:59 We've been disappointed. Incredibly. We wouldn't be disappointed, but these people are disappointed. I just can't believe Jim Henson's exhibit. Exhibit. Exhibition. Exhibition had been in. Exhibit. Exhibit. Exhibit. His exhibit's so small. Yeah. It's not impressive. Fucking no good. Okay. Now, we are going to go someplace that some of these people should have gone when they were children. And maybe they wouldn't be so stupid.
Starting point is 00:38:24 There we go. The Ivy Prep Early Learning Academy. Where is that? This is in Staten Island. I didn't intend to, by the way, be in New York this all time, but that's where we are. 1779 Richmond Avenue, Staten Island, New York. Is that where rich people stay? No. No. Staten Island is. where all the cops live. It's where all the cops live. Okay. No, there's some big, there's some like bigger neighborhoods. There's some mob bosses that lived out there and shit. But this is where all the cops in New York live.
Starting point is 00:38:51 First responders. Yeah. They go there and this is like a weird enclave. Okay. Yeah. Staten Island is uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah. So 3.8 stars out of 73 reviews. Okay, let's find out what goes on here.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Savage gives five stars. Amazing faculty. Ms. Rachel runs a tight ship. Miss Rachel is here. She's actually nice, right? I guess so. I don't know she runs a tight ship. She runs a tight ship in regards on Staten Island, too.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah. She really is. Make sure their gig lines in order. You get the belt, the... Wants to say close to the people. Yeah, that's what it is. Pants button lines up with the shirt buttons. You know it.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Let's see. In regards to being on top of the children's curriculum to instill they are learning more and more every day, you know, like a school. Right. My son is so advanced because of that. I'm sure he's a cheese. Oh, you're a little. And I couldn't be happier.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Ms. Rachel is great with the students and also amazing with the parents and meeting the parents' needs for children's development. Yeah. Do you think everyone will be as happy with Ms. Rachel? Well, yeah. She's probably got detractors. I think so. Elizabeth five stars. I can't begin to express how happy we are that we chose to send our son to Ivy Prep.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Yeah. We enrolled him when he was 18. months old. Jesus Christ. Dumped him off. He didn't even know where he was. And we were choosing to keep him there for 3K because we've had such a great experience so far.
Starting point is 00:40:18 $3,000? $3,000. $3K? Kindergarten through third? Maybe he has to walk all the way there. Is it in 5D? That's a good question. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:29 He has learned so much and made great friends. The teachers are so caring and patient. Ms. Rachel is an amazing director. She works so hard to act. keep the families involved and plans the most wonderful activities for the students, we're so lucky to have found such a wonderful school for our son. From 18 months till how long was he there? Learn so much.
Starting point is 00:40:50 That's what they do with that age. You could leave that motherfucker in a bedroom, and he's going to learn a shit one. He's going to figure a bunch of shit out. You could just put Sesame Street on and let him watch it. He'll know how to count by the time to go in there. Elizabeth One Star would not recommend anyone to send their child here. It's not related to the Ivy Leagues, is it? I doubt it. I think they're trying to give you that impression. I went to pick up my grandchild on his second day. They asked me who I was there to
Starting point is 00:41:18 pick up and responded with, we'll bring him right out. The teacher in that room handed him to me all of his belongings and said, here you go and walked away. Never asked me my name, who I was, or even asked for ID to see if I had permission to pick him up. That's not good. Did you get the right kid? Apparently they hand you the right one. I mean, it's a lot. I mean, it's a lot. I mean, It's fine that, yeah, you can't, you have to know who's picking. Even in elementary school, they had to, like, check the scene where before somebody picked you out. Maybe her daughter or son, whoever's son that is. Said my mom's, but still, you've got to check and make sure.
Starting point is 00:41:50 This could be, you know, some crazy ex's mom. Right. Kidnapper and sell a kid into a culture subject. Or just somebody that just wants a kid and knows that one's here. Never know. My sister went in the following day and same thing. Didn't ask for ID or who she was and just handed the child in the belongings. Yeah, I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Yeah. A bunch of stuff in between later. A bunch of stuff in between later. Then a few weeks later, my sister went to drop him off. There were only two children in the class. The teacher had her back turned to them as one of the two-year-olds was standing on the table. Okay. My sister spoke to the ABA therapist. The teacher chimed into their conversation to add,
Starting point is 00:42:29 If you think the children are overstimulated, imagine me. I go home and cannot get the sound of children crying out of my head. Oh, that poor lady. Yeah, that sounds awful. That's why I would never take that job. We brought this to the attention of the director, Rachel, in which she replied, quote, if you think your child is safe here, if you do, if you do, I think they mean don't, you think your child is safe here. Maybe this is not the place for him.
Starting point is 00:42:54 When I brought this to the attention of the director, she got defensive. The next day began writing notes stating that my grandchild was hitting other children and yanked the hair out of the teacher's hair. Retaliation. Yank the hair out of the teacher's hair. Yeah. We asked for the number for the corporate office, to which she replied, it is the rule of our school not to provide the number to the corporate office to our parents. I can call myself and have someone reach out to you.
Starting point is 00:43:21 I'm going to get ahead of this complaint. That's what their policy is. We don't take complaints. Nope. You're not going to lay your shit down and I have to fuck them up with excuses. You're going to fuck my career up. I'm going to tell everyone with an asshole you are first. I could not believe what I was hearing.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I put on speakers so everyone in the room could hear what she was saying as witness. She then repeated her response. Had my daughter read the reviews prior to placing my grandson in this daycare, she would have never registered him here. If you value the safety of your child, do not put them in this daycare. I need to know so much more about the safety. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Ray, one star.
Starting point is 00:43:59 My child stated, first of all, I don't believe whatever. These are kids under five. Kids under five will tell you that alien. millions came down and what they did. And they ate any monster, ate my lunch. And they ate fucking snacks together and watched TV. Like they, little kids are terrible. I'm so hungry when I got home.
Starting point is 00:44:17 I want chicken nuggets. You had lunch. No, the spaghetti monster ate it. Yeah, they're out of their minds. So, let's see. My child stated staff member, who is not very good with my child, has been terminated due to one incident with an unprofessional director named Helen, who is new and looking for a come up in Ivy League daycare.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Just trying to make an example. Let motherfuckers know I run this bitch. I run this motherfucker. King Kong ain't got shit on me. Kicking kids out of the way. Fuck on. Look at fucking come. You motherfucker's going to be playing blocks in Pelican Bay.
Starting point is 00:44:53 That's what's going on. We're going to be playing blocks and bike his little shitheads. Get over here. Oh, man. The new director. And also my wife states when she picked up my child from Ivy League, the new director is very rude and gives my wife a dirty look, a dirty look. We are considering removing our child
Starting point is 00:45:11 from this daycare. Parents beware. This daycare only cares about money and not a good relationship between parents and staff. I'm looking for a come-up. That's a come-up. It's all it is. It's a big one big come-up scam. I'm trying to just make a bunch of meticulous. Shera, one star. Worst daycare,
Starting point is 00:45:27 don't bring your child here. Okay. The administration are the worst. Oh. They always talked with an attitude and if the kid is special needs, Ms. Rachel would give you plenty of nonsense reasons just to refuse him. They put all the kids in one room to run around. I had the worst experience with my son. They did not teach anything educational to him.
Starting point is 00:45:47 They just taught him, you know. I don't know what they taught him. Special needs. So she's looking for kids that don't need anything extra so that she can have an easy day. Yeah, it's easier. Yeah, that's what they're doing, which is not great. Celeste, one star. you enjoyed having my son four question marks, but you neglected him.
Starting point is 00:46:11 You never sent out a memo about your teacher having pink eye until my son got pink eye, and I made a big deal about it. Well, she didn't know it was pink eye. She thought it was an allergy. Where do you think she got pink eye from all these fucking, I assume this. I'm eating all that ass in New York. Oh, yeah. This is one big pink eye fucking circle.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah, you're lucky it's not just. Just perpetual flu. Everybody is. A little bit of pink eye, big deal. What about the time that I popped up and he was drenched in sweat? Couldn't explain that. You guys also still owe me money and have been giving me the runaround. All caps on runaround for some reason.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Go look at the violations that were found in this facility on 329 after I reported you. Child service failed to arrange or conduct criminal screening for required individuals, quote unquote. Child care service fails to provide and or maintain child illness slash injury report. At the time of the inspection, it was determined that the child care services allows staff to perform their duties that are not healthy or capable of carrying out their duties at the time. At the time of inspection, it was determined that the child care services provided, providing night care, failed to establish procedures to promote routine, personal hygiene and self-care of children. I cannot make this up. You all have made my child care experience awful. Oh, and the
Starting point is 00:47:31 director is very rude. I wrote her, an email and she completely disregarded my concerns. That's right. All right. So, I don't know. It's dirty in there, I guess, and they're not keeping track of it. I guess. And they get kids, the kids get sick, they don't write it down.
Starting point is 00:47:47 I don't know. Carolyn, one star, do not leave your children here. All right. Teacher is not child friendly. Well, that's not great. Which one? No, well, we'll figure it out. Not sure.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Ms. Rachel comes up, though. Teacher's not child friendly and was caught mocking a child who received special services. Perfect. That's great. You need a band-aid, you pussy? Very empathetic. I think that's one of the special needs kids. Really? A child who received special services. Oh, special services.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Okay. I see him getting first aid. Getting a scratch covered. Ms. Rachel, the director, covers for her neglectful staff who even openly refused to feed a child. Refused. Fuck that kid. Yeah. Yeah. One star. The staff is
Starting point is 00:48:31 irresponsible and do not watch after the kids. Someone stole my friend's daughter's Jordans and claimed they didn't know and shrugged it off. All right. So a couple of them I can side. Yeah, yeah. I can brush it off. It's also a daycare and people, bitch. It's your kid.
Starting point is 00:48:50 It's the most important thing to you. So you're going to be sensitive. Most critical. Yeah. Absolutely. I understand that. But you steal my kids Jordans? We're having a fucking conversation.
Starting point is 00:49:00 The fuck. Those are expensive. Yeah. Those are still $119.19. dollars for a child. Now, let's talk about how dumb it is to buy a fucking three-year-old Jordan. Let's talk about that too. But either way, they're your Jordans.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Also, they do not keep track of making sure the kids have their drinks and snacks and let her daughter not drink all day. She returned dizzy and lightheaded. Jesus. Oh, boy. One star, MH. Staff is extremely rude. Wouldn't even send my dog there.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Okay. And I send my dog to all sorts of shitty abusive places. Why would you send him? Yeah, fuck him. Very disappointing. Yeah. Here, and then we will, what is this one? Yeah, yeah, okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:49:40 And here, TIGU, TIGU, one star, terrible place. Do not send you kid in this place. You kid. You kid. Don't send you kid here. If you care for his, her, well-being. The place should not exist. Not even the building.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Just wiped out. Because they are all about money, nothing about kid support, which is completely contradictory to the spirit of the children education. Right. That's what we do. When we've determined that, we'd nuke the place. Nuk it. The education department really needs to investigate this place.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Well, they don't exist anymore. No. Good luck. Sorry. That'd be nice, but, you know, I guess not. Beautiful building, but nothing good inside. Consequences and shit. Yeah, you know, that's how that works.
Starting point is 00:50:24 Okay. Oh, Jesus Christ, this guy is fucking, this is a long one. There you got. Roop one star. I had the worst experience at Ivy League. I paid more money only to have my baby traumatized for life. Life for life. My kid will never be the same.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Things that happen when you're before you can remember. Do have effect, but traumatized for life is a little. What the fuck happened? He was two and a half at the time. He doesn't remember it. He doesn't know. And he is four now. Yet every time we pass the building, which is almost every day because he's been going
Starting point is 00:50:55 to another daycare, pre-K school on the same road. He says he doesn't ever want to go to that place. What triggered this very late review is the picture day sample images I received from the school in which he was crying with tears and runny nose and no one bothered soothing him before taking the picture. They just put a, there you go. Take a picture of him like that. It's fine. You want a real snapshot of what this kid's about? This is what he does all day.
Starting point is 00:51:22 This is him. Wow. I hope to put this behind me, but I guess I have to do this in order to clear my mind. The caretaker was a very dull and non-active girl with no personality. But she did know well who to suck up to. She did soothe another crying, another crying white child by picking up and rocking while watching from the door window, whereas my child was standing right there crying helplessly. I would blame administration for hiring such caretakers who lack enthusiasm and interest toward kids who clearly discriminate
Starting point is 00:51:53 and for not monitoring their staff's behavior. Oh, boy. Okay. All right. We're done there. So from there, let's stay in New York. Must we? Well, since we're here. Oh, yeah, it's been nice. Since we're here, let's do something else. Let us go. It's getting spring now. It's beautiful. The weather's changing. Let's go on a cruise. Oh, shit. All right. We're going on a Liberty cruise. A little tour, yeah. Liberty Cruise rides around the Statue of Liberty, plus panoramic views of New York City landmarks.
Starting point is 00:52:26 from the water. Excellent stuff. It's amazing. Sounds very touristy. Yeah. Yeah. Feels like you're going to be on a boat with a whole bunch of people that are not from here. No way.
Starting point is 00:52:36 You're going to smell smells around the world. This is at Pier 40, 353 West Street, New York, New York. Here we go. All right. Here is art, one star, or Diana, actually. One star. First, I want to thank the team, or five stars, I apologize. First, I saw the first thing for some reason that said one star in my brain.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I want to thank the team for the beautiful St. San Valentine's Day dinner. Sand? San. San Valand. That's Saint, technically. Oh, is it St. Valentine? Yeah, St. Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:53:05 We really had fun. The food was delicious and the view was amazing. Terrific. Second, I think the logistics must improve in organizing their activities in order to start them on time. Specifically, in wintertime is not nice to be parking in a parking lot for an hour waiting to board. Sure.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Finally, despite some people got angry because they didn't get the right table reservation. The staff were extremely professional. They just keep calm and did the best they can. Not everyone can be perfect. True. But things like that can improve with experience. I'll definitely be back.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Great. So five stars, one positive and like three complaints. Lots of complaints. Not bad. The best thing ever. Wow. Angie five stars. I took the bottomless mimosa cruise.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Otherwise known as the blow chunks into the fucking East River Cruising. Oh my God. The fuck are you talking about. Does it start from the East River? Oh, Christ. No, it starts from the Hudson, right? Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I was lucky that they're, but they're torn around. Yeah, you go all the way right. You got to go to the East Side, too. I would assume, and it just sounded better to say East River. Well, either way, Hudson's too. So gross. It's a matter of syllables.
Starting point is 00:54:17 And you're just putting puke into puke. It's just puk on puke. The, oh, I was lucky that there was no overcrowding. The service was absolutely amazing. Peter and his immediate supervisor, Andrea, took such wonderful care of us. I'm glad we went on the tour. Music was great. Food was great.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Drinks were. Bottomless. Great. Mimosas. Yeah. Hammered. She's had this is great. Have as many as you want.
Starting point is 00:54:43 This has been so much fun. It was so good. The amount of acid in that woman's stomach. Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. She's what a headache. The headache. Oh, the sugar.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Fuck. Samantha, three stars, don't be conned by any Liberty Cruise salespeople on your way to the Statue of Liberty, all wearing red and black outfits or blue or pink high visibility vest. Don't listen to anybody in an outfit. Tell us anyone who's wearing red, black, blue, or pink. Any of those colors. Avoid. That's most of them.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Green guys and yellow guys are fine. That's it. Maybe an orange. That's the whole take. We were sold one hour cruise leaving every half hour. Once parted with money, we were sent back to where we came from to get on a bus to travel down to the other end of the river. We needed to wait at a pier for over an hour. There's nothing here whilst waiting and no clear signs or information.
Starting point is 00:55:41 It's a pier. It's a pier. What do you want? There's people like, you know. I need an Annie Ann's out here. There's people like blowing each other for fucking $5 and stuff like that. Not a single cinema. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Sadly the tour was, sadly the tour was. Sadly, the tour was great. Okay, my brain hurts now. My fucking brain. I wanted to hate it. I needed it. I needed the tour to be shit, too. I needed it to be shit.
Starting point is 00:56:05 I wanted to get one star. I needed three. Sadly, the tour was great whilst on cruise, but too much time wasted hanging around and staff service on ground was awful. So the people that sold you, the, the tick, don't be con by, they're not, they sold you the tickets and you went on the cruise. Yeah, but it was a con job. I had to stand on a Peter. What the fuck is happening? Michael I.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Mikkeli. Yes, it's a guy. Two stars. Very controversial. What? What? It's a boat that goes around and comes back. Jackson showed us her titty.
Starting point is 00:56:38 It was wild. So controversial. Did it sink? Everything about the views of the city and Statue of Liberty is great. I found the staff's work to be ambiguous and completely indifferent. Wow. I'll say he uses odd adjective. He does.
Starting point is 00:56:55 He does. This guy. Real odd, ambiguous, controversial. This is almost our talking. Wow. I'll start from the beginning. Please do. Well, let's hear.
Starting point is 00:57:05 I was looking for where to buy tickets offline at the pier, but I definitely need to buy them online on their website. Did you check the website? Yeah. After purchasing, I definitely need to download their app to download and show the tickets to the staff. The line to board is long and there are no amenities at all. Those who bought a standard ticket are allowed only to the lower deck. Those with a premium ticket are allowed to the upper deck. Oh.
Starting point is 00:57:30 It turns out that 99.9% of the people with lower tickets are jostling on the lower deck where there's not so many seats. It's more crowded. Right. And the entire upper deck with 100 plus seats is completely empty. And you are allowed on it if you pay an extra $20. Right. That's why people just take the bottom one because it's fucking $20. Loud music plays on the lower deck and it's uncomfortable to.
Starting point is 00:57:52 able to be there, crammed in with loud music. And the whole time you should have been saying, I should have fucking ponied up 20 extra dollars. If somebody asked you, for $20, you can go upstairs. You're going to do it in a blink. Dude, the convenience you'll pay $20 for. It's wild. It's empty.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Loud music. All of these people, nobody wants to spend $20. You want to do it? I'm doing it. I'm doing it. The stated duration of the trip is about 75. minutes, but in reality, it's 45 minutes.
Starting point is 00:58:25 I'm sure that water conditions are something. Yeah, that changes things, yeah. Jesus Christ. Thiago, also, may, are there, probably not on the East coast? I was just going to say, are there
Starting point is 00:58:36 draw bridges? Because sometimes you've got to sit and wait for things to open. Not in New York. They built everything. Everything's way the fuck up. You imagine it's had to wait. There are draw bridges in New York
Starting point is 00:58:44 all over the place, but not in New York City. But if you got to sit and wait on those all day long, traffic would be super fucked. My little brother at his job at one point was to open the drawbridge in Connecticut. So, it was just when they tell him to
Starting point is 00:58:58 he pressed a button. That was his job. Just press the button. He made good money and sat there all day. Press the button and then press it again and put it back. That's it. Okay, good. Oh, man. What a great job. So one star, I booked a three-person cruise for two adults and one child. On the website,
Starting point is 00:59:14 their FQ is written. F-A-Q, maybe. On the cruise, there is dedicated area to leave strollers. In another part, strollers are welcome. I think we know it's coming here. No strollers are allowed. No strollers. Before the embarkation...
Starting point is 00:59:28 Oh, my God. What is happening right now? Embarkation is how we're going to put this? Is that when you board or is that when it takes off? Embarking is... I guess it's when you start your journey, right? I think so, yeah. That's when the boat views, I think.
Starting point is 00:59:41 The crew member told me to leave the stroller there on the pier. I showed them that it's not written anywhere to leave it on the pier, and I asked to fold it and bring it on board. but they did not authorize me. Moreover, they were very rude, in particular, Mr. Valmike, who stopped me by talking, stop me, stop me talking by putting his hand up and stating,
Starting point is 01:00:03 I'm working. Don't do this right now. Was this the guy like driving the boat? Yeah, right. Leave him the fuck alone. Is it the guy operating the drop bridge? That's a problem. Shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Shut up. After that, I called the customer service asking for assistance. The operator, after checking the website, FQ, asked me to talk directly with Mr. Valmike. But in the same way, Mr. Valmike did not allow me to bring the stroller folded on board. So they said, take the problem up with the guy who have a problem. Yeah. And here's the thing, too.
Starting point is 01:00:32 If you're getting on a tour boat to go on a tour, you're not doing anything off the boat. Leave the fucking stroller behind. Also, though, these strollers are expensive and just to leave them at a random pier in New York. I suppose. If it says on the website, strollers are welcome. Uh-huh. Strollers are welcome to be left at the fucking dock. It did say there's a dedicated area to leave strollers.
Starting point is 01:00:55 They didn't say it was on the boat. They didn't say it was not with you. They said it's at the corner of 53rd in Madison. Just leave it there. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Just pick a random street corner. That's funny.
Starting point is 01:01:07 There is a dedicated place for them. On the fucking mainland. It's up your ass. That's sort of dedicated spaces. Not on my fucking boat. Sit on it and swing your legs. Oh, man. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:01:18 The pier is totally open, full of people running and dogs. I do not leave my stroller. Paid more than 200 euros in an open area full of people and dogs. I ask for a total refund since neither on their website or on the ticket, is it written that I should leave it on the pier. Yeah. In the attached picture of their website statement, peer situation. There's no picture.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Nobody takes strollers, right? I mean, we're really hard. We're pretty good on the honor system with those, right? No. No? No. They're real expensive. I agree with that. But I've been to Disneyland where you're not allowed to take them. You set that fucking stroller there. You go on. You cut off the right. That thing is still there. Because A, that's everybody. That's mutually assured destruction there. And at the same time, everyone paid $7,000 to get in. So no one needs a stroller. They all have a fucking Disney money. They're doing fine. Yeah. This is just people walking around a pier.
Starting point is 01:02:15 You can sell a stroller for 50 bucks and get some drug money if you want. So that's a bad. I did appreciate that about Disney, too. Yeah, because I have looks at that. I had double, I had two kids' stroller size. So I had a double stroller, the side by side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was awesome. If you...
Starting point is 01:02:29 And that thing was expensive as fuck. That's what I mean. I bet if you have, if you steal from strollers at Disney, I think like Goofy and Pluto beat the shit out of you. I think it's like... There's probably a special place, and everybody knows it, where you go after all this. They don't, there's no hell for anybody else except strollers. That's it. I think it's Winnie the Pooh and Eric from
Starting point is 01:02:52 and Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid I give you an Eiffel Tower I believe is how it works They'll rape you silly Both sides and they high five in the middle You get no choice in the matter That's it. You will be groaning around Goofy's cock That's how it works Well he goes
Starting point is 01:03:06 As he does the whole time Yeah and you'll be choking because Eric's fucking packing Well yeah Why do you think Ariel wanted to change species for him He's back in the dick is throbbing. Freedom, one star.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I bought tickets online for the 2 p.m. Statue of Liberty Cruise and got on the boat at Pier 40. Shortly after the boat was filling up over capacity and there was people standing
Starting point is 01:03:35 all around on the sides of the boat with nowhere to sit and open chairs on top of that were roped off. I did not feel safe and started to get claustrophobic. I walked off with my girl, friend and called customer service to voice a complaint, and they told me to write an email to
Starting point is 01:03:52 request a refund of $50. As I was standing there, I took a picture of the boat leaving. When I tried to leave a message on their website for a response, it wouldn't send. And there's a picture of the boat leaving. It's packed. It looks like a fucking refugee boat. It does. It looks like last boat off the aisle.
Starting point is 01:04:09 There's hanging off the side. Does it feel like that guy just decided he couldn't get on it and then just said, I'll just send him a message and say I felt unsafe. No, this is the last... Did he miss it even? Probably. This looks like the last chopper out of Saigon, though. This is like...
Starting point is 01:04:25 He's in trouble. I remember if it was. That's wild. Thomas One Star. Made the mistake of buying tickets from a street salesman at the battery part. Yeah. Those are otherwise called con artists. Sometimes.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Yeah. He advertised the tickets at $39 and charged us $59. He took us to a bus stop claiming we had to take... we had time to take the cruise, but we had to be at the pier in 10 minutes. I was smelling the BS for a while by then. So I asked for a refund, and he started screaming at us and even insulted us. I couldn't take a photo fast enough. He was already walking away.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Of course, we didn't make it on time and miss the boat. It's obvious that this company doesn't care who they hire. I don't know if they hired him. I don't know that he worked for that. At least the people at the top view office were helpful and gave us tickets for the next day, or we were at least able to take the overpriced cruise. And there's a picture of the back of a man from half a block away. As he walks away.
Starting point is 01:05:22 He's just a blue jacket from a half a fucking mile away. Oh, it was one of the blue guys. One of the blue guys. There you go. Jesus, okay, we will end it with this one. All right. Tarique, one star. Horrible experience.
Starting point is 01:05:35 A complete waste of money. Why? This was by far the worst Valentine's Day experience I've ever had. We should have bought the bottomless mimosa. I hear that one's amazing. That would have helped a lot. hot. The entire night was a disaster from start to finish. Every Valentine's Day meal sucks. Why do you leave on Valentine's Day? I've worked in restaurants. On Valentine's Day, they go,
Starting point is 01:05:56 limited menu, no fucking substitution. No refunds. Three seatings. Get in, get the fuck out. No one cares about you. You are cattle on Valentine's Day. Go on the 15th. They'll be thrilled to see you. Yeah. Turn and burn. Get their drinks and their food order at the same time. Valentine's Day. Mother's Day, New Year's Eve. They suck. Don't go out. It's miserable. You're going to get, it's going to be shit.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Just cook at home. That's it. Go down on her. That's fucking special. Go down on your mom. She'll appreciate it. Especially on Mother's Day. Especially on Mother's Day.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Okay, the charter was over 30 minutes late, leaving us waiting in the blistering cold with no communication. Blistering cold is two things I've never heard. That's, I guess it makes sense. It does, but I've never heard. Blistering heat, I've heard. Yeah, I've heard blustering cold. Blustering. It's great blustery.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Yeah. With no communication or a polystery. You're right, though. Yeah, blistering colds and on way to put it. That's not the thing. Once on board, the food was absolutely terrible. Yeah. It's on a boat. What do you want?
Starting point is 01:07:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The restaurant I worked out, which is a nice place. Yeah. And there was like, well, twice as expensive, no substitutions, half the amount. Half the portion. And get the fuck out. Turn and burn. Move it.
Starting point is 01:07:22 And sell a bottle of wine, ASAP. Yeah. Call him a cheap dick if he won't do. Please, you have to. What do you not care about her enough, you fucker? You're fucking asshole. The waitstaff was slow and attentive and outright rude. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:37 My water was filled once in the entire three hours in the dining area. We're going to treat this boat ride. Like it's a five-star restaurant. Yeah, like it's Michelman's. Like you went to Gordon Ramsey's and you're upset at the service. Wow. The crew was completely unorganized, making the whole experience feel chaotic and unprofessional. I paid over $600 for VIP and it wasn't even worth $200.
Starting point is 01:08:01 There was nothing VIP about it. The ambiance was ghetto and disgusting. Ghetto. Yeah, most ghetto is on a boat. That's right. Well, it was a ghetto. It smells diesel fuel. Giant ship.
Starting point is 01:08:11 From a dual engine. Jesus Christ. The dining area was old, dirty, and unappealing. Uh-huh. Okay. To top it all off, the bathrooms were filthy and had a horrible stench. Yeah, it's a boat. That shit doesn't go anywhere.
Starting point is 01:08:25 There was a bathroom? I'm shocked. Yeah. It's like shitting on a bus. Yeah. It's staying wherever you put it. You're taking it with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:33 It's probably why. Oh, my God. There was a complete, this was a complete rip-off and a huge disappointment. If I could give zero stars. I would. I would. He got it. Right. At the end, too. Stay far away. Well, we can't, we can't go any further because it'll just be fucked up if we do anything more. So we're going to, we will just leave it right there.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Terrific. Somebody nailed it and that's what's important. Yeah, not bad. We've been around, we went from Japan and then we stayed in New York for a while. Right. And we will definitely leave New York for next week. But we'll finish off all these boat people because I'll tell you what. It gets worse. We're going to finish them off. We're going to finish. Someone's getting finished off here. They need to be finished off. Somebody does. It's a fucking mess. It's very impressive that anybody has a high threshold for what they deem is going to be so much fun.
Starting point is 01:09:23 It's a boat, man. It's a fucking boat. It's a mass, mass civilian boat. If it's a chartered boat with three, four people and you get to choose who goes on it, entirely different. You're going with strangers. It may as well be the Staten Island ferry. And also, here's the way I look at it. If you're on a fucking boat, this is why I would never take a cruise.
Starting point is 01:09:42 because the cruise is all about amenities and all this shit. All I care about is don't sink. If you get me back to shore without me dying, that has to be five stars, in my opinion. That's it. So I don't know how to reconcile that. Everything in between, you paid for that. That's it.
Starting point is 01:09:59 So there you go, everybody. Be careful. And next week you'll find out you've got to be careful who you buy tickets from for this joint. I believe that. Thank you so much for all that you do for us. Head over to shut up and give me murder.com. There's merchandise there and everything like that. And you can buy all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:10:12 and get your tickets for small town murder live shows. Check the website. Got to check the website, everybody. So do that and make sure to leave us five stars wherever you, and say, if I can give six stars, I would. That's what we're looking for. Wherever you listen to podcast, do that, listen to our other two shows, Crime, InSports on Small Town Murder, which you can also find on Netflix. Hang out with us.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Keep coming back week after week. Thank you so much, everybody. Have a good one. Bye.
