Here we go. I cannot wait. Let's start the new year off right. New Year.

Almost New Year. It's not quite... Same gripes. Same gripes. And we're going to start off with a whole plaza this time. Okay. Yeah. A whole strip mall.

Yeah. The Southside Plaza, which is at 507 East Southside Plaza in Richmond, Virginia. Oh. And it has 3.8 stars, this shopping plaza. That's decent, yeah? Out of 3,500 reviews. No, that's a lot. And the picture of the Plaza.

that's like on Google that you look. Is it, it's of a rim time. Oh, yeah. It looks just like you're outside in the righteous gemstones when they have the whole, you know, exchange of the money and running a guy's over with the van and all that stuff. So, yeah, that's what it looks like. And it's a shopping plaza. We'll find out what's.

Yeah, green corrugated around the top. We'll find out what's in the shopping plaza as people complain about each individual place. Terrific. Yeah. At least a rim time. It's a good way to take a tour, but we know there's a rim time. And we know there's a dental office, as we'll find out in this first review. Five stars from Natisa.

Today I went to Spencer Dental and Braces at Southside Plaza. Excellent experience. There is not a drop of punctuation in this paragraph. Come on. Nita, help me out here. Wow, excellent experience, very friendly, compassionate, and understanding people, beautiful atmosphere for the children and adults, so you can have a great experience.

If you have anxiety, they are so compassionate about your feeling with children. Definitely need an adult, an excellent receptionist pre-Rosa PC. She is so helpful in experience working with customers. She takes her time with them, even helping them, which is greatly appreciated. This is a great dental place. Perfect. Perfect. That's how you said it.

If you didn't use any periods at all, I don't know what's a sentence and what is it. And I'm not going to figure it out. You know, frankly, we didn't have time. Spencer's teeth and braces. What is it? It's Spencer Dental and braces. Okay. And here's a five-star.

Hot topic ran that place out of business in the mall, didn't it? Spencer. I have not seen a Spencer's in the mall in 30 years. I've got to be honest. I haven't been in a lot of malls lately. I just realized right now that they're gone. I was going to say, and the last time I was in a mall, I don't think I was looking for Spencer's. I was like, you know what I need?

I need some fart tablets. That's what I need right now. More tablets and a tie-dye turd. And a dildo, because they have those two. You know what? I'm hankering for a lava lamp right now. Wait a second. A lava lamp and a deaf leopard hysteria t-shirt.

Can I get them? Spencer's is the only place I can get all those things at once. It existed, you guys. Isn't that crazy? That was a wild place. It's a damn wild place. Tracy five stars. I just stopped in for a moment to get me some chicken nuggets at McDonald's.

Oh. Okay. So there's a McDonald's. So we know there's a McDonald's. We've established a McDonald's. rental place and a McDonald's. And her rim time. I had a rim time.

I told her, could I please get some hot chicken nuggets? Got them nice and hot. Thank God they were. I get some hot chicken nuggets. Got them nice and hot. Thank God they were because I would have brought them right back. They had no idea the hell that was about to rain down McDonald's if my nuggets were not. I was about to pelt a shift worker with cold nuggets.

I was about to fucking whip those shits around a McDonald's dining room, no problem. Every degree they chill, they get harder. They really do. Oh, God. When I was a teenager one time, my friend's parents had a bagel place and they were throwing out all these frozen bagels that had freezer burn. So we were taking these stale frozen bagels and fucking whipping them at each other. They hurt so, dude, a bagel, you can whip a bagel. You get it on the side and throw it like, I mean, it, wow, that is no joke.

I mean, it's essentially a one pound rock. Oh, it was brutal, but like flies like a frisbee. Yeah. Nasty. They were dynamic. Oh, they were nasty. They were nasty. Okay.

Thank you for the great customer service people. Appreciate it. Love shopping at Rainbow in Southside Plaza. Apparently rainbow. There's a rainbow too. What is that? Well, they have the most amazing prices on good jeans and T-shirts and shoes. That's where you get clothes.

That's where you get clothes. You can get clothes. A burger, get your teeth fixed. And some rims. It's a great place. And the customer service is amazing. Well, I went to the Burger King in this plaza today to get something. There's a Burger King.

They go to McDonald's and a Burger King. How do they survive in the same plaza? That can't be. This is amazing. Don't the workers get together and have clashes at lunchtime with each other? Whippin cold nuggets across the parking line? I think the McDonald's ones would win. They have a harder coating.

Yeah, they did. Yeah, there's less breading on those. It's more of like a breadcrumb, whereas the McDonald's, it's like a hard coating. I want panco. I want batter. And McDonald's figured it out. They figured it out. 45 years ago.

Let's see. Burger King in this plaza to get something to eat, but it was a two-for-seven deal. So I got the chicken sandwich. The worst chicken sandwich I ever got from Burger King in my entire life. How many are you eating? God, not only was it cold. I just didn't feel like going back. I had the other burger so that she didn't go throw this at anybody like she would have a

dog. Because it was a two. She was satiated with a burger. I mean, the customer service was excellent. The burger was steaming hot and the chicken was cold as ice. I don't get it. Chicken was old and they made a burger fresh. That's pretty simple to figure out.

Is that the same person that went to McDonald's? Same person who went to McDonald's also went to Burger King. But gives still five stars even though there's a cold chicken sandwich there. Well, it's the rainbow that does it. This is the only time we're going to see in the same review, a McDonald's and a Burger King review. and the review isn't for either of them. That's what's hilarious. It's for applause.

It's for this place. Okay. Houston one star. Typical inner city shopping center. The buildings are old and in dire need of repair. The parking lot needs repaving along with the storefronts and lighting. The stores are fairly clean but sell mostly low quality products. You can find okay bargains on a few things such as socks, t-shirts and toiletries,

but overall I would not return to this place. VCU has a medical clinic here. Add that to the list. VCU. Virginia Central University probably or something like that. Commonwealth, Virginia Commonwealth University, I think, has a clinic here. And there's also a Social Security office. Okay, Rimtime McDonald's.

Wow. T-shirt place. Burger King. Social Security dental office. This is a bad neighborhood. It's a big strip mall in a rough hood, I think. Yeah. I think we're in a tough place.

Yeah. Myra 1 Star. I want to know why this place is still lost in the 1970s. No. That's it. Whole review. Oh. I'd like to know that.

That's all I need. Well, when you find out, let us know at your stupid opinions, everybody. I'm back. Send us an email. Star Reese. Wow, there's a lot of letters in that. S-T-A-R-R-E-E-E-S-E. That's a lot.

You could slow that down a lot, yeah. Wow, one star. It's very dirty. at the nail shop. Hey, we got a nail shop. Let's add that. Do we have everybody got their charts out of the Southside Plaza store map here? Jesus Christ.

This plaza is amazing, though. It's got everything. Yeah, it's a one-stop shop. Can you get your nails done while you get your teeth cleaned? Because that would really be something. You can save a lot of time. Shop all day and then get lunch at Burger King. You can get a cold chicken sandwich at Burger King.

Break your tooth and get that fixed. It's perfect. This place is awesome. Okay, at the nail shop, they will not post prices like they used to. Oh. It's just a mystery, how much it costs. It's a market price now. Just do your nails and give you a price.

All right. You look like you can't afford the salmon. That depends on what a pain in the ass your nails were, maybe. I don't know. The McDonald's is stinky. Did a five-year-old write this now? How was McDonald's? The McDonald's was stinky.

Okay, he didn't like it. And that's the shopping plaza's fault. It's the plaza's fault. It really is. The McDonald's is stinky and needs a new manager to get the store in good shape. The whole plaza at large needs 24-hour police surveillance because people just don't care at that place. Okay. Also, a lot of people who are smoking on drugs or drunk, especially some of the youth of today.

Let's take our youth back. Hold on. You started out talking about. about a nail shop not proasting prices. And by the end of that you got to let's take our youth back. What the fuck are you talking about? It's a goddamn shopping plaza. And how?

And how? Yeah. What do you need us to do? Wow. People who are smoking. They're smoking outdoors, Jimmy. Children tend to stand by a fast food joint and smoke and do drugs. That's what they do.

That's what they hang out. That was my childhood. Smoking and doing drugs near fast food facilities. The talk about the Wendy's, I must have smoked. I can't imagine how many cartons of cigarettes at those places I smoked. I smoked like three blunts in the fucking four hours I worked at Taco Bell. Are you kidding me? It's made for that shit.

Okay. L.T. One star. Plaza is dirty and people drinking all along the curb of the plaza. Okay. It's a line up. It's a bad neighbor. Maybe they're waiting for a parade today.

You don't know. You don't know. Maybe one's coming through. Someone's going to throw down some candy. We don't know. They're just waiting for that parade. Maybe next year. lined up like birds on a power line.

They don't give a shit. L, one star. We were scared to death when we got out of the car. Okay, here we go. Now, this is something. People standing all in the parking lot, hollering and cussing. And played, and this is all caps, loud, very, very loud music in the parking lot. That's back to regular.

Our doctor is fantastic. So there's a doctor's office here, too. I was scared to death. I needed the doctor. Thank God he's here. That's helpful. That's what I mean. This is great. If they knock your teeth out, you're all set. Can't wait. Can't wait to see her again. Really? I'll have somebody lay down some cover fire for me while I run in there, apparently.

Come for me. I miss her. I miss her. I'm running. Michael, one star. Look, my phone rang, and I don't have, nor wasn't hands free. So I just pulled over in the parking lot to answer a call. Uh-oh. Let me tell. No, that's what I thought was coming. Immediately ripped out of the car. Let me tell you I would not shop in that mall unless I was strapped. And then he puts in parentheses carrying a gun in case you don't know what's strapped. Oh, is that what that makes?

Wearing a Kevlar vest and had a can of mace, brass knuckles, a switchblade, and a police escort. I need an arsenal of illegal shit while the police allow me to use it. Basically, he would walk through Rikers with less shit on. what he's saying. My advice is that you make it there before sunset. Hello. Okay. He pulled over to make a phone call and said,

better break north before dark, bitch. Somebody said break yourself. This is wild shit, man. Yeah, he said it's crazy. He wouldn't have got out of the car. He rolled him up, locked him down. He was in there. All right.

Here is one star. I like the, I like the way they start this. I hate this entire place. Okay. To me, that's better than even if I could give zero stars, I would. I like that. I hate this entire place.

I hate this entire place. It's run down. And that could mean the plaza. That could mean... Yeah. It could mean anything. The country, her county, the world, North America. Who knows?

Yeah. Okay. It's run down and just crawling with people asking for money, cigarettes, men yelling from their cars. At who? What? From the car? What's happening right now?

It feels like a wasteland to me. I don't know why you need to go. here because every store in here has another location that's better. Just avoid this place. It reeks of bum urine, which is a very, it's a very different urine. Yeah. It's a dehydrated urine, so it's extra ammonia. Yeah.

Well, yeah. And you mix that with booze and possible maybe traces of psychotropics or, you know, like mood altering, maybe a stabilizer. It's a little thicker than. Mental disorders. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a gravy, if you will. You could slip in it.

A thin grave. You could slip in it like ice is the problem. You got to be careful. It's slick. Slick. That ant that makes really bad thin gravy. It's like that. It's kind of like that.

Yeah, the shit one, it's too, just it's watery and brown. AJ, one star, ghetto place, trashy, worn down, bad area of town. People inside. We knew that. I think we got that part. people inside of the stores have bad attitudes. Well, yeah, they're terrified to leave. They're like, I got to get to my car.

You see Beirut you came through to get here? Who knows what my car is going to have done to it by the time I get out of here? This is crazy. I'm only on shift for four hours today. And so do the people outside the stores, if we are being honest. Okay. The people outside the stores are why the people inside the stores have bad attitudes, by the way. They're probably strapped.

Yeah, I'm sure carrying a gun. I don't have a can of mace to switchplay. to police escort. Stay away unless you're trying to get your car stolen or something of the sort because this place is useless for anything else. Oh. It's only good. So you park your car when the water pump goes back.

Well, you know, if you're looking to, like, commit insurance fraud or something out until you just, you leave the car, the keys on the seat and you walk away. Yeah, when it's burning oil, it's got a bad radiator and the water pump's going bad anyway, just walk away. You step out, hold the keys up in the air, then throw them in the window. Then throw them in the window and go like this. You shrug your shoulders and walk away. Shinkle jangle.

Bye. I'll be back in 12 hours. I'm going to leave my car here for 12 hours. Hope nothing happens to it. I hope it's safe. Yeah. Then you whistle as you walk away. So you're getting an Uber to go.

It's impossible to whistle while you're laughing. You can't do it. I can't get it out. You can do it with your teeth a little bit. I can't have some smiling. It's so hard. All right. Jim, one star.

Yeah. If you're not used to double A's in the double A community, I don't know what that is. A. A.A. Like, oh, A.A. There's an A.A. Tell me you're sober and don't have a problem. You're outside.

Yeah, exactly. I don't drink. You're outside. So I think we explain the people drinking and smoking out. side. There it is. There you go. You got a clinic here. Man, if you're not used to AAs in the AA community and think this is your typical clean McDonald's, not here. This McDee is smelly and ruddy. Do they have the A.A. meetings at McDonald's? They might. Or maybe they just meet up for coffee and cigarettes there because they love coffee and cigarettes. Oh, yeah. Usually there's a church

you go to for that or some shit, right? Some community center or some portion. Wow. Wow. This McDee is smelly and ruddy, which is a weird way to put it. Cachiers are friendly and courteous. Drive through your best option. Don't get out of the car. Yeah, lock them. This is a weird one. Letitia, one star, buses slow, SLO, like slow gin.

That's OE, actually. SLO. SLO. Buses are slow. It's a bad neighborhood. Maybe it needs to go slow because people are missing it a lot. Maybe I'm surprised it's not just to just zoom past it. If you can jump on it, fine.

Carlese, one star. People hanging in the parking lot, playing loud music with a wireless speaker like they at the club. With a what? Like they at the club, Jimmy. It's a fucking Bluetooth. It's a Bluetooth is what that is. It's coming from their phone. I don't think the club has that.

I don't think they have that technology. I notice a police car driving by looking and kept going. Because that's not illegal. That's not really a crime. What are you looking for? Existing isn't a crime. Pyramus? Pyramus, okay.

One star, meat's not good. What? Meets not good. That's the first. Apparently so. I add that to the list. Meets not good, period. I think they're using a whitener on them.

What? What? Why would you whiten meat? What's happening right now? They're using a whiteener. I think they're using a whitening on them. Man white pig feet and turkey wings. That's a sentence.

Man white pig feet and turkey wings with no punctuation. Man white pig feet and turkey wings. Okay. I told the manager that turkey wings were bad some. Bad some. He said, you don't buy, L.O.L. I said, don't worry. I'm an, I'm Inspector USDA.

whole attitude change. And he's not. I have no idea what this person's talking about at all. I know he's trying to get pigs feet turkey wings, but they're not good. The turkey, who eats turkey wings? Who's looking for just the wings? Just the wings, yeah. Is that a common thing?

Am I missing that? I've heard of it before, yeah, turkey wings. Turkey wings, yeah. Turkey wings, yeah, legs and wings and shit people will eat, yeah, the dark meat. I mean, you eat the chicken wings. I know people eat turkey legs, but the turkey wings, because they're big. Turkey wings are big. Oh, yeah, that's a, that's a thing.

Yeah. But evidently they're not white, so he, and he's... A white, pig, man white pig feet is what he said. And bad turkey wings? And bad turkey wings. They're not good. They're bad. So, uh, yeah.

Eddie, one star. Worst McDonald's experience I've ever had. Perfect. The landlord should evict them in 20 years or whenever possible to not be associated with this. What? 20 years should evict them? What the fuck are you talking about? That's wild.

I'll give them another 20 years to straighten it out and then they're gone. No more. Okay. Jay, one star, this is a rough strip mall, which is just funny. This is a rough neighborhood. It's a rough strip mall, man. Keep your head down. Move quick and go only if absolutely necessary.

Holy shit. Keep your head down and look quick. Literally like, that sounds like advice for prison. This is a rough prison. Keep your head down and move quick. That's what they said to the soldiers that stormed. the beaches of Norman. Yeah.

Head down, move quick. Well, that's why you got to be strapped here, too. There's German snipers. You didn't know that? Not only is it really hood. There's also German snipers, which is really weird. Let's move fast. Get to the beach, everybody.

Kimberly, one star, stopped at McDonald's. Didn't realize it was closed. Didn't realize it was closed for renovations. No signage. Nothing indicated close. Cars were everywhere. So you could not tell. It's closed.

Shut up. Who cares? Charles One Star. Ghetto. Vagrants, police activity going on. Place doesn't feel safe. Even the McDonald's was unsafe and overrun with trespassers. How do you trespass at McDonald's?

I don't know. If you have $1.50, you're welcome at McDonald's. Everyone is welcome at McDonald's, right? You could get a coffee and be there for four fucking hours. That's what I mean. Coffee, let me alone. If you have a $1.50, you are in at McDonald's. I'm not loitering anymore.

No, you're not a trespasser by any stretch. And people just hanging in and outside harassing would-be customers. It sounds like it's the people around that are tough here. Seven gives one star. This is a dangerous place to be in. Crime rate is extremely high. Too many shootings. Is Richmond that bad?

I didn't know that. And I think too many would be really any. Yeah, one. I can deal with five, six shootings, but when we get it in the double digits, I start to, you know. That's one is too many. Too many. King, one star. It was ass.

Then it gets even crazier after it was ass. That's on part with sucks. I love it to ass. I do too. It was ass. I found two bodies in the bathroom. What? Two bodies.

What bathroom? Where? What establishment were they both? dead? Yeah. Was it a murder or suicide? Did someone kill them both and leave them there? Were they OD'd?

You really need some details. Oh, many questions. Unfortunately, King does not give any details. That's it. There's one more word to it. This entire review is, and there's no punctuation. It was ass. I found two bodies in the bathroom and condoms.

Oh, they fucked to death. They fucked to death. Jimmy. To death. Maybe in the ass. He raped his little sister to death, Jim. Sorry, Rita. 911 to death.

Okay. This is ridiculous. So there's dead people in the bathroom, but good news is they were using protection. Possibly a butt-hucking. Well, I mean, I assume so. It was ass. I assume so. Jason, one-star, shi-sty people around here.

Big facts. Big facts. Big facts. Sheisty. Jay, one-star, gentleman yelling in parking area attempting to sell product. Didn't understand no Yeah, he's selling like knock off Cologne probably or some shit

Yeah, it's always knock off Cologne That's the worst Just trying to spray it at you and shit You're like, man, fuck off, leave me alone It's CK1, what is it 94? I don't want that. No, yeah, the 90s, man, that was in New York That was like mixed tapes and

Mixed tapes and fucking Cologne It was like, get away from me. I don't I hear that to get away from you, Nick. Yeah, it's just like Paco. No, it's not. Shut up. They know. The ladies know.

They know. They knew that. I don't know now. Anyway, next up, one star. If you want drugs or illegal wildlife, you've come to the right place. What? You can buy a tiger. If you want drugs or a monkey or a yak, this is the place to buy them.

Yo, man, I got a quarter. No, I don't smoke weed. That's cool. Thank you. Do you like bald eagles? Yo, man. He opens his Jackie. I got this badger.

You're like, I don't want that. What are you doing? I want that either. Look at this marmosin. Get out of my watch. Check that shit out. Yo, man, I got this lemur for sale. I don't want it at all.

50 bucks for a lemur. Illegal wildlife? What is happening? What is happening? They're slower when they're babies. Dude. And we're spending so much time on this place, but we kind of have to. It's insane.

It's fucking insane. I can't believe the amount of stores. There's an illegal pet store in the parking. We got that. They sell exotic animals. Tough gives one star. Ghetto as hell. Stay away if possible unless you get in crabs from seafood.

I give up, man. I don't even know. Is that part of the illegal wildlife? I didn't know Richmond was this bad. I really didn't. I had no idea. And then finally, Latisha, one star. None of your business.

Thanks. That's her review. You want a review? She bought illegal pets. That's what's happening. Not your business. Don't worry about me. She walked away with a mandrel under her arm.

Ready to fuck it. I got a 12 package of chinchillas. Leave me alone. I got the whole thing. Can you fit an emu in the back seat of my car? You think we're going to try. All of this is where you get the lemo email. Oh, my God.

Okay, we got to get out of there. Let's head west. That was fun. That was so much fun. Let's head west and let's go to Arizona. Oh, boy, what's there? Phoenix is a matter of fact. Oh.

The Pioneer Living History Museum. Oh, over there on Jefferson or Washington? It's 3901 West Pioneer Road, so it's named after whatever. Oh. Westside, though. I've never even heard of this place. 30 first have. It must be the one by Washington.

I don't know what this is. It's got to be. It looks like just a patch of desert, which I don't know. I think Big Nose Kate is buried down there. Didn't we establish that? I think that's true. I think that's true. Or maybe, I don't know, she's buried in Arizona somewhere.

It doesn't matter. The description is, history comes alive in this expansive recreation of western town from Arizona's territorial days. It's kind of like, it looks like if Raw Hyde back in the day closed and sat there for five years, that's what it looks like.

3,100 Pioneer Road. 3901 West Pioneer Road. 8508.8. So that's... Where the fuck is that? That's got to be... That's way up north, I think. Yeah.

It has to be like... Is that 39th Avenue in like Pinnacle Peak or some shit? 85086 is a weird... Yeah, that's not, that's not downtown by any stretch of the imagination. It might be. Really? I'll bet it is. Oh, is it down?

I think I know where it is now. Yeah. Anyway, this is not interesting to anybody listening outside of the Phoenix area. That was 85018. That was 302nd Street in Indian School. Yeah. It's around there. This is 85086.

So... Yeah, that's got to be. over there on the west side of town over there 30 yeah 4.4 tune in next week for Arizona zip codes. What we find out where? Part two. Pioneer it's got 4.4 stars

out of a thousand reviews so not too terrible. Opens at 9 a.m. Here we go. Lacey five stars. We had such a wonderful time at the Pioneer Living History Museum. It felt like stepping back in time. The buildings, the scenery and all of the little

historical details were incredible. These staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, and you could tell they really care about preserving the history and making it come alive for visitors. It's a perfect place for families, kids, or anyone who loves learning about the past in a hands-on way. We'll definitely be back. Okay. All right. Here's four stars. Great history of Arizona.

Just kind of sad to see some of the buildings falling down. It's in a shitty state, apparently. The thing is, it's not going to be original buildings. And if it is, the original buildings were mud and sticks. Those shits, they're not going to last 200 years. I mean, here's pick. I mean, there's old, like, wooden buildings there. Oh, what is this?

Yeah, it's, it's up north, dude. Those are the mountains. Either up north or down south. Yeah, that's the black canyons over there. There you go. There's the mountains. And there's the, they have like a jail thing and little, like, old-fashioned clothing museum it looks like in there and stuff like that. It's weird.

Yeah. Shell Reese, two stars, went for a school field trip. I can see that. Yeah, that seems right. It was nice the kids loved running around. Not much learning involved. They just ran to all the houses and looked at them. There was no workers teaching the kids about the history of the buildings.

Okay, they have a train station, and it seemed like only during Christmas time they use it. On the map, it had goats and chickens, but both cages were empty. They're probably dead. I was going to say, they've been. sold in a Richmond parking lot is what happened. Yeah, or they died of the heat. We ending never, that's what it says. We ending never find another cage with three chickens.

I don't know what that means. Your guess is as good as mine, everybody. Is there a restaurant on promises? Do they serve chicken? I think they do. Yeah. Overall, the kids had fun. Just don't think it would be worth a drive or to do it again for a field trip, honestly.

Other things we can do. So they just ran around the desert is what it sounds like. Meg, two stars, kind of cute and friendly staff, but overpriced for a pretty random assortment of old things and structures and no proper bathrooms. This place has porta potty's. Stop it. I don't know if anybody's ever, you hear Phoenix is hot, okay? I get it. You can hear the temperatures.

You can hear 115 degrees. You have no idea. What hot is until. First of all, a hundred feet. 15 degrees out in dead open sun is you stand there and if you come out of like air conditioning, it feels great for like five seconds. And then you're like, holy shit, this hurts. Inside of a porta potty.

Oh, boy. I can't even tell you the magnification of the heat and the stench. The stench actually becomes like one of those like, you know how smell in a cartoon can like form a hand and grab Bugs Bunny and pull them tortuapie? It's like that. But the reverse. It punches you in the face. It throws you, tosses you right out of that place. It's indoors, so it's not losing the moisture.

Like if it was outside, piss and shit will dry up. As it sits in its own. It's just stewing in there and creating a muck. It is. It bubbles. It'll bubble. It's a chemical toilet that is a monster. It's so bad.

Oh, my God. All right. Two stars from Brad. Not a living history museum. What does that mean? No, he's very upset. Okay, he has a description of what that is and this doesn't fit it. Yeah, he walked up with his dictionary pointed out of living history.

Maybe we came on the wrong day slash time of year. The nearby shooting range provided our soundtrack. Oh, it's by Ben Avery. Okay, so there you are. Now we're triangulating. We found mountains in a shooting range. Now we know where we are. And the bullets, the rounds, the sounds echoes off of that.

Yes. I mean, that's an old west experience if you really want one. You fucking bet. You bet you're at. Duck. There we go. Rudy, two stars. The Porto Johns were overflowing.

Oh, no. Not in the heat. And they didn't. No. No, the humanity. Good God. Oh, God. That's crazy.

Oh, Jesus. How many people are coming here that they would overflow? Oh, my God. I lived in Arizona for how long. I've never heard of this place. I've never heard of this place. Me neither. I lived there for 20 years.

I never heard of this goddamn place. I thought you were going to talk about that Pioneer Cemetery on Washington. No, no. This is totally different. That's totally different. Your marketing guy, one star. We went to the pioneer Winter Wonderland and let's just say that VIP stands for very idiotic purchase. Okay.

I spent too much money. Yeah, I'm dumb. This place is a joke. None of the employees even know about the place or where anything is. I know we won't. be back there for probably another 35 years. Okay. Why would you go 35 years from now?

You think it's going to be better? Maybe there'll be better history and they'll find somebody that knows some shit. Wow. It's a cheap joke of a display. It's twice he's called it a joke now. Oh, and this year the ads don't tell you it's closed on Monday and Tuesday. So don't go driving up there on those two days. Two hours to get to a closed spot the first trip.

Oh, shit. Where the fuck? Probably came from Tucson or something. Yeah, or Mesa, Apache Junction. Way out, two hours. Jesus. Yeah, that's a long ride. Okay, Nicole one star.

She's pissed off too. Super disappointed. She's pissed. She's pissed, boy. Nicole is not happy. Nicole let us have it. Lay it down. Drove 50 minutes one way with my kids to come on the weekend,

and gates were locked, despite the website saying they were open. She checked the website. She did. She checked the website. Called several times and got no answer. No, because they're closed. They're closed, you idiot. No one's there.

We think they're sitting there waiting for you to call when they're closed. No one's working. There were four other cars at the gate who showed up as well who were also confused and disappointed. Well, yeah, it seems like it's a common thing. We all ended up leaving. What the hell else you're going to be breaking? Get the fuck out of it. We're closed.

What were you going to do? Bus the gate. down. We're going to see some goddamn living history if it cost me a jail sentence. I wasted a ton of gas in time for nothing. We came on November 18th at 1 p.m. There was also a volunteer who showed up as she was supposed to be there at that time as well and wasn't sure why it was locked and she tried to get in touch with the owner but did not receive a response. So she was left in the dark as well. So like a worker, a volunteer. Even the employees can't get it. I thought I had a ship today.

This is too bad because we were really looking forward to this as we've been learning about pioneer life for homeschool. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. We would love to come back next. We would love to come back, but next time I will call before making the long trip to make sure they are open. I would recommend others to do the same

because reading the past reviews, this has happened before. Yeah, why don't you do that? You have all the time in the world. It's not like you have a schedule. It sounds like you're a homeschool lady. Well, I mean, yeah, you can shift it. an extra hour later. They're home. Scott, one star.

Well, it was Sunday. And they were only open 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Okay. What? Four hours? Four hours on a Sunday. But for $20, it was very disappointing. $20. Yeah, that seems steep. All the buildings were locked and it was very difficult to see most of what was inside. The three people I saw in period garb were talking to each other and staying in the main building.

slash gift shop. They're just chit-chatting and it with chaps on. No one was on the grounds for questions for us for giving any living history. God damn it, this guy writes frustrating. We are huge history busts, and this is by far the most disappointing thing we did in Phoenix in all two weeks. Seeing a tiny piece of history is always appreciated, but here you get to see very little, dead history at its best, not living history. So we should. We should. We should. We should. We History is not up there, though. No. You know what I mean?

There's no history up there. No, it's really not. It's downtown or it's nowhere. Yeah, you might get one little piece of something, you know, whatever, but that's it. Go look at the canals. All we did was concrete those. Those are the Native American canals. Pretty impressive, right?

Yep. Yeah. They did great. Hundreds of years ago. Yeah. That's the best history you're going to get in Phoenix. It is. That's interesting that we still, those were the best routes, they figured.

Engineers all said, oh, they had it nailed. They did it. Yeah. Never mind. So here's a response from the owner. Yeah. Hi there. Hi, owner. I'm so sorry to hear you did not enjoy visiting our museum. Our summer hours are clearly posted because we hate to disappoint people, but extreme Arizona heat forces us to close at 11 a.m. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's hot. So there's no air conditioning. No, it's outdoors. And the buildings are all like old buildings. They're not. What the fuck is this place? It's hot. I mean, it's like, it's like. Like, it's like going to fucking ride, except without the stores and restaurants and shit. Frank Lloyd Wright has a building here that doesn't have any air conditioning in it either. You don't want to go tour that thing in the summer. August. That'll be awful. Oh, Jesus.

We are a 501 C3 nonprofit and the people wearing period clothes are all volunteers. So they're not employees. So they can go talk or do whatever they want because no one's paying them. So you'd be lucky you saw them with a hat on. You see a guy with a cowboy hat on? Good for you. It also said they physically can't handle staying inside the non-air-conditioned 19th century buildings for any length of time once the temperatures hit 100 degrees and over. So the group you saw were sticking only to the air-conditioned building on the property.

Did you ask them any questions? Usually it's hard to get our volunteers to stop talking about Arizona history. They love it. Yeah. I'm also surprised to hear you felt like there was nothing to see. Only two out of 20 buildings needed to be entered to see all the rooms. the rest are all one-room structures that can be completely seen by standing at the gate and have signs describing the history of the museums.

Yeah. Oh, my goodness. This person also said, if you would like to revisit the museum, I would be happy to take your group on a tour free of charge. Wow. I'll personally walk you around and hold your dick, well, and show you everything. Is that fucking good enough for you? I'm introducing to my buddy Tom who puts on cowboy hats for me. Yeah.

If your schedule doesn't permit you to come back, please know that our volunteers care deeply about preserving these original Arizona territory treasures, and if they weren't in danger of getting heat stroke, they would love to be out in the village to talk to you. They're all elderly folks. You know, we don't want to kill 80-year-old guys in cowboy hats. Alyssa, one star. Cynthia Valencia sent me an unsolicited email on my personal Facebook, all caps, by the way. What does that mean?

I did an invite in a group and she looked me up and sent me a message asking if I had contacted a manager. Why? I was just going to visit for the day. Can someone other than Cynthia the bookkeeper reach out to me? Uh-oh. What the hell are you talking about? She didn't do it unsolicited. You asked for a manager. Yeah, you were forming a group. I don't know what the hell is going on. You need to see this again, more information. And to look you up on Facebook, that's going above and beyond. That's pretty crazy.

This is like just saying there's wildlife for sale and not saying what it is. Christopher One Star, perhaps this place was once living, but now it feels like a ghost town. I would recommend them marketing it as such, very run down. The phone museum was nice, however. Phone? Phone? Phone museum, yeah. Oh, I do know.

Up there that way there is a telephone pioneer or something or other. Okay, I've heard of that. I've heard of that. I've never been there. I don't know what it is. Jennifer one star We went today And there were no employees

Around to interpret Other than the one Taking our money Buildings were dirty And poorly maintained It was a very disappointing experience Okay

No interpreters either No interpreters to tell you I think they mean To our guides Yeah Yeah Here's one one star From Max

Did anyone got Did anyone got sick The next day Max? Yeah you were out in the fucking sun That'll do it You got sun poisoning, my man.

Yeah, that's the other thing. That's easy. We walk around in the heat for four hours. You'll be sick for a day. You're going to sit down for a day. That shit makes grow up. I feel. Yeah.

That's worse than the flu for me. Like, the heat is worse. That's why I moved. I couldn't take it anymore. It's so hard. Matthew, one star. Okay. Only open from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Good luck with that arrangement. Okay. I want to come in the middle of the day when it's a buck 18 outside. Wander the desert at 2 p.m. I doubt it. Good luck, asshole. Now, let's see, I am going to give you the choice, Jimmy, of where we go next here. Okay, and whichever one we don't do. Do you have a hiking trail of Arizona that talks about how great it is in August?

You can either get the, yeah, oh, that camelback mountain, I want to be there three in the afternoon. We can either go to a Burger King in Springfield, Illinois, or the Denver, Colorado Greyhound Station. you know where we're going. Where are we going, Jimmy? We're going to the Denver Greyhound Station. This is right downtown. This is no good. It's no good.

Burger King next week then. Because this Burger King is a fucking wild scene, man. It's a wild seat. So, all right, let's go to Denver. Here we go. This is Greyhound bus station. Yep. At 1,700 Wawada Street in Denver.

And it is located in Union Station, Gate B4. And it has 3.1 stars, which I'm surprised it's that high. Yeah, I really am. Anytime you have to get on a bus, that's a one-star time right there. Even if everything goes smooth. This rating is for my life at the moment. That's what I mean. One star, I had to travel by bus, one star.

It doesn't matter how great the bus is. One star. Clearly everything fell apart, and this is it. This is it. Now, no description needed. Place where you get on a bus out, a greyhound bus. That's the description. You get it. Here's William, five stars thrilled with the Greyhound station in downtown Denver.

It says this marvel among the marvelous of American travel endorsements, in particular, this one has always featured availability and convenience from the viewpoint of the traveler. Is this like a hobo or something? Like a bindle? Like someone who usually rides freight trains and the... like, oh, this is luxury, buddy. I'll tell you what, there's a place from a bindle. Yeah. I've made use of its services many times and have found them not only accommodating but outgoing as well.

I can't imagine anybody at the bus station being outgoing. Or accommodating any of those things. I can picture them selling you wildlife in the parking lot outside of that. From under a bus. From under a, hey, man, I got this. Where'd you get that from? Yeah, but it was alive. Danny, five stars, underground parking, 2 to 6 p.m. only if you don't want to walk for blocks.

Buses get meter space at that time. So five stars, park in the garage from 2 to 6. And then they're parked on the street? Is that what it is? Because the buses are out on the street. Michael, five stars, and I think this is really the most, this is the best review that you could get for this place. quote, a good place to depart or arrive on a Greyhound bus. Yeah. It's the bus station, so that's accurate.

The location is nice. Yeah, it's weird. They've got this whole station and people just pull right up with buses. And it is fascinating with buses because they've been doing travel by bus much longer than air travel, obviously. So the location of the actual station is probably pretty convenient in almost every city, I imagine. Yeah, I would think they would probably, they probably put, when they installed bus stations, they probably put them right by train stations. That's why they're downtown.

Probably, yeah. Because that way it would be kind of a travel hub. They eventually put an airport. Yeah, but I think like buses didn't come right away. No? When we had cars, they didn't make buses immediately. Oh, right. I see what you're saying.

Yeah. So, an air travel, I think the buses and flying kind of came around the same time. Maybe you think so? I think around probably the same time. I'm thinking. Maybe not, though. Maybe I don't know. I imagine, in my head, I see England doing it before us because they did that.

I figured it out. I mean, they had buses. I guess they were just big, like, kind of kind of... Clunky. Almost like safari vehicles. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?

Like, I've seen that, like, rather than buses. They were kind of like... Right. Rather than you have... What you picture a bus nowadays, anyway. Right. So... I don't know when they started it, but it's...

I imagine... You think they'd put it by the train station. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was probably travel. It was probably the high-tech train. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, yeah.

And then planes came around around and, well, this thing is clearly on obsolete. piece of shit now. Yeah, we don't need this. Yeah, the train station went from being a good part of town to a shit part of town. People with three bucks in their pockets went to the airport. Right. Exactly.

So Raymond three stars, whoa. For a classical music selection, here is the place. What? What's that now? The bus station. Don't get in the way of the maintenance man cleaning the floor. Comical, the

authority, he assumed. Oh, he'll run you. down with that tiles shire. Your uppity maintenance man over here. The toilets are limited in their visits. What? The toilets are limited in their visits. A guard stands outside. You're only allowed to use them a couple of times.

Wow. Yeah. How much they almost done shit. And he's got a clicker. Yeah. Is it out? All right. One wipe, all right? You got to get it. Be efficient now. Whatever takes place in them is allowed as long as it's between. two, as long as it's between two, logic is not the top of this thinking. So apparently I think it's between two, so I think you can go in there and fuck, and they don't mind.

Oh. While others are waiting with full bladders. Yeah, people are in there fucking, and you're waiting to piss. The staff for the buses feel they can be oppressive. Restrooms worked. That's where the three stars come from. There's a lot of fucking going on here.

But you can flush it, so that's good. You got to have some joy, for Christ's Something. I know. You're in a bus station for fuck's sake. Casey, one star. This company is Clown School 101. Yes.

Clown School 101. I assume that. Wow. Garbage driver made everyone miss their next bus. Solution provides, provide rooms for the night. Solution provide rooms for the night. Now, four hours later, we all sit in downtown Denver. Oh, when the station closes us and a half,

hour, so we'll all be headed outside. Greyhound is garbage, folks. Yeah, I've been near that bus station. It is not really where you're going to be thrust out at two in the morning. I can't imagine if a bus schedule gets fucked up that Greyhound has enough capital left over to be forking out. Doling out motel room. Yeah.

Regardless of the price of the hotel room. Well, all the motel rooms would cost more than the tickets us people purchase. Now we're in the red. Of course, that's also incentive to make sure those fucking people get there. Yeah, that's a great point, too. Yeah. They should be doing that with airfare, though, for sure. For sure.

I'm so tired of this shit. No, it's fucking ridiculous. Talanika, one star. Talanica, yeah. The bus broke down on the highway for four hours until another bus game. Ooh, damn. Oh, my God. Here's another bus four hours behind it?

Apparently, well, that took them four hours to dispatch another bus to go get these people. when I got to Denver, rude, and they kick us out with nowhere to go. Closing time. I don't know where you go, but can't stay here. I am not from Denver. Had to catch a taxi to the hospital and wait out my side until Greyhound opened. She took a taxi to go sit in the hospital for a few hours, because at least that's somewhere you can hang out.

I'm going to kick you out. No, they'll assume you there for something. Yeah. If you had $1.50, you could go sit in McDonald's. Yeah, you'd go to Richmond McDonald's. Some weird pets there. Never again in my life. Ridiculous.

No accommodations, no support. Buses need to be kept up on maintenance. We paid hundreds for our tickets. Buy a plane ticket. Get on the shittiest airline you can find is a million times better than this. Hundreds of dollars to ride a bus. And an airport won't kick you out. If you're stuck there, you can live there until you fly.

That's Tom Hanks. He stretched on out. Oh, man. Pavel one star. Yeah. After seven weeks of traveling around USA, I have tried to use Greyhound. This is a foreigner who's visiting. Why do you allow people to buy tickets display the departure on the kiosk when staff already knows that the bus is canceled?

I was even able to check into a bus in, I was even able to check in into a bus departing at 1130. It's not a mistake. it's a proper scam. Oh. And the answer from the lady was, quote, I don't care what's written on the board or in your app. My boss told me the bus is canceled. Come tomorrow. Peace out, Pavel.

Fuck yourself. Is this customer service? I don't think so. Well, the other answer, Pavel, is stick around and wait and see if that bus shows up or goes. If it doesn't, she's just going to be proved right and you just wasted your day. Yeah. Wow. But it's like on the board.

showing 1130 and estimated, whoa, schedule destination estimated. God damn it, that is rough. It just takes so long to get anywhere on the bus. Oh, it's crazy. Okay. ISIS, one star. Uh-huh. I do not ever use Greyhound.

This is the worst transportation service ever. Yeah. Listen to this. I paid almost $800 for three tickets. Unless you're going from Boston to ever. L.A., you can fly coach for 400 fucking bucks. I'll bet you could get with a shit airline, like fucking spirit or something. You can probably do that.

Boston to L.A. for $200. If you're six weeks out. Wow. One for me and two for my children. The bus was two and a half to three. And you're traveling with kids. You'd want to get there as quick as possible. $800.

Dude, this should not be a business anymore. No. Every other way of travel is better and it's the same price or cheaper. And there's no way it costs them $800 to drive that. For three people? There's no way that that... So if you have a bus full of people... Holy shit.

So you could rent a car for $800. You could rent in a car, filled it with gas, got there quicker, and more comfortably and stopped whenever you wanted to. Whoa, the bus was two and a half to three hours late, which in company policy is mandatory to get a full refund. Then there are almost no stops with food or drinks. We were so late so the stops... that had them were closed.

Then when we had to transfer bus drivers, he had left, leaving us stranded in Amarillo, Texas. He just said, no bus train. But driving times up, and he got like League of the Rhone. He just got out and started walking down the street. Who's Lou? Who's Lou? Lou left.

Lou quit. That's where we are right now. How can a driver just be like, timed out, don't know what to tell you? Bye. And how did he get out of here? Yeah, where are you going? Who picked him up? That's the other thing.

Me, two kids. Yes, they gave us a hotel till our bus came, but that didn't count the $200 we had to spend on food to be there overnight. Not only that, but the stress of the vein in the bus station for almost 24 hours. Okay. Then when it was time to get on the bus, they pay for the Uber to and from the hotel. They forgot my Uber, and I almost missed my bus. Oh, my God. Jesus, no kind of consideration.

I wish I could give this place a zero star. There you go. Really good. The bus is extremely uncomfortable as well. I hope no one supports this horrible company. I also advise you to not. They don't even want to compensate me for what I spent when I didn't need to. Just a sorry.

That's all. What's a sorry going to do? Nothing, really. Due to the stress, my blood pressure went up high. and I was having severe signs. Oh, my God. I also cried due to the amount of stress it put me and my children under.

The kids were visibly upset and shouldn't have been going through this experience. This guy's got PTSD for the Greyhound ride. It sounds like they were like a refugee story. Like they took us here, then we went to there, and we were hoping we could stay there. But next thing you know, they were rounding us up, putting us in the back of a truck.

Like, this is crazy. And now we've got heart palpitations. Yeah, it's stressed from that. I didn't know what was going on. Wow. Holy shit. Okay. Robbie, this is not a good experience. One star. No information was ever put up on any screen for our bus ride here. We were scheduled to leave at 8.20 p.m. A bus showed up and left just as fast. Not yours. By 9.10 p.m., we were finally told that another bus would be there in 10 minutes. That's all we were told. 25 minutes later, we load the bus. It wasn't until we were more than 45 minutes away that we were actually told any information as to, why we were over an hour late for leaving. Well, it doesn't really matter.

It's kind of academic at this point. You're on, you're late. That's that. You're moving and you're moving late. They put us on a bus that had a full toilet. So everyone had to smell that the whole way. Oh, is that just bounces around up to that? Fuck, everybody just with their shirts over their faces.

Yeah. Lucky for us, we were only on the bus for three hours or so. Oh, that's lucky. That's lucky. That's long enough for it to stick in the fabric or your face. clothes. I don't think that's lucky. You could smell out on your fucking facial hair. Lucky for us, we were just sleeping on here. We were just completely engrossed and enmeshed in fucking shit for luckily. Three hours. Completely overwhelmed by it. The only plus, if there was one, was the driver

had a positive attitude. Great. I smell a shit too and I'm fine with it. Terrific. I hadn't taken a bus ride in almost 20 years and I can say I will wait longer if I can help it. For the price of the tickets, you expect more. Yeah, I would... I would say. I'm 44. Never been on one. No plans on it.

Never. If I can't afford to go in a normal mode of transportation, I can't go there. I'd love to, but I can't. See, that's the problem. If I can't afford to go, guess what? I cannot afford a ticket. It sounds like if I can't afford to go, I can't afford Greyhound either. It's the same price.

It's expensive. Exactly. What it used to be like in the 90s, they'd be like anywhere in the U.S. for $70 or something. Right. $39 fare. That I could see. You know what I mean?

You're saying I'm going cheap, so I'm going to get there eventually, whatever. But if it's $800 for three people, take a normal, take a plane. Ride a dog. Rent a car. Rent a horse. I don't care. Alan one star. Okay.

Security is terrible. Uh-huh. They're supposed to make sure that everyone inside is a ticketed passenger. No to that. No to that. They don't check. Apparently not. No to that.

I felt very unsafe and felt that if I left my belongings out of my site for a second, they would be stolen. You're at a bus station. Right. Yes. Yes. I met a man at a bus station who asked me to pop by and say hello. And I just did it out of them. Just to say I'm doing it.

He met a man at a bus station is a hilarious way to start a story. He listened to our show years ago, and I was like, I'm going to pop by. He tweeted me, I'm in Phoenix at the bus station. Dare you to say hello? I was like, I'm doing it. And I drove over there to meet him. He was carrying his saddle because he didn't want to set it down. A saddle?

You expect a crackhead to run off with a saddle? That's amazing. It was tucked under his arm. That's how I picture. Like a football. I don't want to set it down. He carried it like school books? That's awesome.

Fucking unbelievable. The nicest guy ever. And I called his bluff and I wish I hadn't. I was going to say, and who ended up getting the better end of that deal, Jimmy? Not you. I mean, I've got the story of watching a man carry a saddle around. Around a bus station in downtown Phoenix. Holy shit.

he taking the bus to a place with horses? Or what was he doing? Yeah, he was going from, I think he was going from California to Texas. He was definitely going to Texas. When you see a man carrying a saddle, do you tell him your condolences for the horse? Do you just assume the horse died and he took the saddle he's carrying it? What happened, man? I lost everything except this so far.

Apparently so. I didn't want to ask him much about his life. He was riding greyout. With a saddle under his arm. Yeah, he had problems. He had a happy man. No, not a happy guy. Probably had to buy two seats.

on that bus for that fucking saddle. Hey, saddle guy. If you haven't killed yourself yet, hit us up. Let us know. Let us know you're alive and well. Do you set that saddle in the seat and just ride it? I would. That would be the fun part.

And then tip your hat and everybody, just, ma'am, as they go by. That's what you do. Had it. Haddock. All right. This idiot again. Where the hell it was? Oh, his belongings would be stolen.

His saddle would be stolen. it. Yeah. It's a very dirty station both inside and out. Thank God I was here in the daytime. Well, they'd have kicked you out if it was nighttime, so don't worry. You're not allowed. I can't imagine what goes on here at night. Yes, you can. You know what it is. It's a shame that people still choose to support this company and they can't go an extra half inch to make sure that customers feel comfortable and safe while waiting on their bus. The sad thing, well, yeah, the sad thing is that if you lodge a formal complaint with customer service, they yell at you and hang up. I don't get how the airport is a nice place.

I hate the airport, but it's a clean place, sort of. People are cleaning it. It's generally a safe place. I've never been stabbed at the airport. Right. Airports all the time. There's an operation happening all day long, and you can tell. And people are playing the same money.

Yeah. Right. Why is... What is going on? Is Greyhound just the most profitable company on the face of the plant? It's fucking got to be. They're taking $800 off people at a cliff. That's all I can think.

Calendar is this person's name, one star. When I go to the location where I was to board the bus going back home, the bus never showed up. That's a problem. We called customer service and was hung up on twice. Put on hold and directed toward the website. Did you check the website? From an outsourced company in Asia that wasn't even attached to the Greyhound Company. just hired to handle complaints by the bus company.

Yeah, we're going to have a lot of them. We need to hire somebody for this. Did you just yell at Asians, please, for us? Yeah, can you just, yeah, Asian people, you're perfect for it because, like, you can act like you don't understand them and they won't quite understand you, and everyone will hang up feeling frustrated. That's what we're going for. That's the Greyhound difference.

That's how we make $800 at a clip. That's how we do it, everybody. Holy shit. The website gave us a form to fill out, but when they responded via that they simply didn't have enough information and they could not help, we were appalled and disgusted with how we were treated. We will never choose Greyhound again. We wanted a refund because of how corrupt we were treated.

I don't think that's the right word there. Via was used incorrectly too. Oh, absolutely. It doesn't matter. The application of words doesn't matter to that. Just words. There's a word that needs to go. here.

Yeah, corrupt sounds great. That sounds like I'm mad at them. Sounds good. Correct. They were treated corrupt. Now we were out of money and that as a result, we are angry customers. Yeah, you have no money and you're stuck somewhere. I'd be angry too.

Adrian One Star. I had two tickets from Frisco to Denver at 920 today. That's a ride. Yikes. That is a long ride. That's brutal. The Greyhound Fair was being serviced by Bustang. Bus stang?

Yeah, there is that. Whoa. The bus stang driver told me it wasn't my bus insinuating that Greyhound was just behind him coming in. Turns out it was the correct bus and because the driver told me it wasn't, I was stuck in Frisco. Oh, this is going Frisco, Texas to not San Fran. Oh, oh, okay. All the way the fuck through New Mexico. That's a dead awful.

It seems like about the same distance. It probably isn't that much more. Far. Better scenery coming from California, though. You're going to go through the mountains there, at least. The increase in costs and stress to figure out how to get to Denver was completely unnecessary. When I spoke to customer service, they told me it was going to be more than the cost of the ticket to reschedule. Unfortunately, the next bus trip was too late in the day and I had to find different means to get to Denver.

Hitchhiking? This is the lowest means. What else is there? Climbing a big rig with somebody? Me and you on a dumb and dumber mini bike? Is that how you get there? Stupider than the bus? That's the only way I can imagine it.

This is ridiculous. 80 miles of a gallon on this hog. Oh, that's right. Holy shit. Customer service was not helpful and essentially stated that I was lying about the driver telling me not to get on the bus. Very professional.

And I can only assume he's being sarcastic there. Okay. We will do one more. And then we'll call it a day. And we'll start off with more Greyhound. And we'll get to Burger King next week. It'll do all that stuff. It's going to be a good trash week next week, too.

Christopher, one star. Staff were short-tempered and rude. Bathroom facilities were disgusting and broken. So they were just holes to piss them to it. They were broken. Yeah, broken. We get disgusting if it's broken. Oof.

Only one stall out of five was usable and stall locks were broken. Four out of five stalls had to be broken. no toilet paper. Well, if they were broken, what are they are you looking for? Yeah. If they were broken, don't worry about it. Yeah. Yeah. Toilets overflowing with feces. Oh, there we go. Bus feces. After all of this, I had to wait 10 minutes in line just to get a security code for the restroom.

It's like a Walgreens. You need a security code. No security guard in sight or inside terminal. he was outside almost the entire time smoking cigarettes. Well, yeah, it stinks of shit in there. Yeah, why could she just hang out inside? Clear it out. Yeah, you wouldn't be in there if you didn't have to be, would you? On top of all that, the terminal itself was filthy, and they lost my luggage.

Oh, what? How do you do that? How do you, it's on a, it goes from here to a bus. I get the airport's a complicated system, and it goes through. I picture like all these, you know, like a Rube Goldberg fucking contraption of getting your bag from that thing they put it on. It's on some belt somewhere. They throw it on a belt outside the plane and it just rides on belts until it gets to me.

One of those perpetual motion chickens hits an egg and it rolls down a big slide and it goes into something else. They didn't lose your luggage. Somebody stole it, my friend. That's what happened. I imagine they just throw it out on the curb when they parked the bus. There you go. Probably. What else do they do?

To date, still haven't received a phone call or email message about my luggage. One single bag with my trip ticket on it. clearly marking name, phone number, email, arrival, and destination. Case you find it. In case you find it, claim number 934-6744. If you come across it, just give me a shout, please. That's amazing. The worst travel experience I've ever had, it sounds like it.

I've traveled all over the U.S. and Europe and never found such rude and grumpy drivers and staff. One driver was fantastic coming from Kansas City to Denver. Oh, Marco, question mark? Yeah, maybe. Who knows? Maybe Marco. After this trip, I will never use or advise anyone to use Greyhound for any traveling. Yeah.

If you go to someone for advice and that's their advice to use Greyhound, never go to them for advice again. Terrible staff and nasty terminals with rude staff that were totally unhelpful. Right. So there you go. Holy. Start out back with more. Stop writing grahound. Why does it even exist anymore?

I can't fucking imagine. I can't find the reason. I can't find the use for it if it costs the same to fly. That was the only thing. It was cheap. That's it. Well, if you only have $40 and you want to go 1,800 miles, this is your option. You got you covered.

Yeah. Or hitchhike. Right. This is hitchhiking is preferable to this. It'll take seven fucking days, but we'll try it. Yeah. We'll try it. If you were hitchhiking and someone pulled over and you said, I'll give you $800 to bring me where I want to go, they'd probably bring you there in style.

You probably riding my pazziness. Yeah. Come on, buddy. So there you go. There is everything. Beware the Richmond, although that strip mall did have everything you could possibly want in it. From wheels to exotics. To why?

Yeah, wheels to exotics to dental care. They had it all. So there's that. And, yeah, the Pioneer Museum, we were all pretty unimpressed with that place. It sounded like just. a lot of those Arizona museums. And, yeah, beware of the bus station. So thank you so much, everybody.
