Hello there, we're very excited to hear people's bullshit today. We can't wait. My name is James Petragallo, I'm here with my co-host. I'm Jimmy Wissman. Thank you so much.

Honestly, we have had so much fun lately, we've been going all over the world seeing some fun crazy stuff. And we're going to keep doing it this week. If you like this show, you should certainly listen to our other two shows, Crime in Sports and Small Town Murder, which are just like they sound, except funny. So, you're gonna love them.

Check those out and hang out with us all week long. Tons of content for you. That said, let's dive right in, literally dive right in, because we're going scuba diving in rural Texas, which is where most scuba diving happens in rural Texas here. We're going to the Athens Scuba Park. This is in Athens, Texas. Beats me. 500 North Murchison Street in Athens, Texas. They say the park offers scuba diving

in a lake with wrecks. I guess there's like a plane wreckage down there. There's like a couple of buses for some reason. I don't know if they put them in there on purpose or people just couldn't help but hit this fucking lake when they were flying or driving by. Couldn't help but go in, I'm not sure. Plus classes and scuba diving, a shop, camping, and RV sites as well. So you can make a whole weekend out of this deal here. So it has 4.5 stars on Google. People seem to like it, which is interesting

because when you see the pictures, you're like, 4.5 stars, huh? Is that right? I feel like it's like if you leave a five-star review you get like a discount or something maybe. Like it has to be. Here's five stars, and this is a person with a lot of reviews and all that shit. Five stars, though visibility was low due to a lot of divers.

No, that's not what it's due to. It's due to the water being insanely cloudy and gross. What are they saying? Somehow the amount of divers kicked up enough sediment that it made the whole lake cloudy, which how many, 20,000 divers would it take to do that? Or too many asses in your face and you can't see anything. Something.

It helped me practice my navigation. Best part for me was diving the airplanes. Really neat experience. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Their shop has anything you need from rentals to outfitting you with your own gear. They offer fun water activities from time to time. I dove my first scavenger hunt this weekend where the prizes were worth playing the game. All right. Good deal. How deep is this shit?

Apparently deep enough for planes and buses to be on the bottom of it. And for you is still planes. It's probably pretty deep. Jolene, two stars. As much as I want to give this place all the stars. That's the opposite of if I could give zero stars, I would. As much as I want to give this place all the stars, you don't find many places in Texas to dive aircraft and buses like and the like.

There are others? I guess not. That's what you're saying. There aren't others. You don't find many places. You don't find many? You shouldn't find any. I don't know, man.

I don't know if this is standard Scuba Lake procedure or what here. It was just a bit horrid. The amount of barbed wire and random pallets and discarded scrap around the grounds was a bit overwhelming. Yeah, sounds like it, especially for like a campsite. I don't want it.

Pallets? Garbage, barbed wire and pallets, garbage. Just scrap, shit. It was one of, it was $40 for the electrical unit Palettes Garbage barbed wire and pallets garbage scrap shit It was one of it was $40 for the electrical unit for the RV Is that what's that a decent price Jimmy or an RV guy $40 for the electric? Oh to plug it? That's pretty that's pretty steep actually which doesn't have a water hookup either Just like tonight. I guess or I don't know. Yeah, plus it's a whole thing to walk from the water I don't even know what that my whole thing that could mean anything. It's just a whole thing. I don't know

Literally, it's a whole thing. Oh, okay. Now I get it. I get sorry never mind. I sorry for asking for clarification Literally, it's a whole thing Well, you're you're going through fucking World War two No, man's land with the barbed wire just you never know what's gonna happen here Yeah, maybe if they're trying to keep you from behind from enemy lines. I'm not sure army crawl The visibility was at best five feet We had a four-person crew and easily lost each other with barely a kick cycle four-person crew and easily lost each other with barely a kick cycle. Not their fault of course since it's a clay based quarry.

The pricing was just disappointing since we live near Canyon Lake which we can dive in for free with better visibility. Well fucking go there then. Why are you paying to go somewhere worse? I don't get that. If you're from the San Antonio area you get what that means. What the hell are you talking about? No one's from the San Antonio area, you get what that means. What the hell are you talking about? No one's from the San Antonio area.

There's like half a million people in San Antonio. This is for everybody, people. I don't know what that means. The train, dot, dot, dot. I didn't sleep the whole night. Apparently this is by train tracks, and we're gonna hear this a few times here. I've been here before.

Fucking ridiculous. I've been here before. Fucking ridiculous. I've been here before, but the best RV spots are very overpriced, are literally a stone's throw from the other RV spots. Take an ambient or sleeping aid if you want an RV camp. The staff are completely amazing, incredibly helpful and overwhelmingly and overwhelmingly nice. Love them. Apparently that was the two stars instead of one here. Solve the train with an ambient.

Yeah, that's interesting. Now the response from the owner here, we apologize the visit wasn't as expected. The lake was impacted by rain prior to your visit, which can limit the visibility. That's funny because it must rain every day in Texas because every single fucking review Mentions you can't see shit But it's raining yeah, we apologize for all the scrap metal and pallets that were in our quote scrap pile But they've been all hauled off and removed as for the wire as well apparently they had a big scrap pile And they were getting it removed if I'd say it was junk end of the month junk pile day there when she showed up

bulk trash we were in the process of building and removing Doc so we accumulated a good amount of junk prior to your arrival bar I don't know what barbed wire belongs on a dock I don't know I've never seen barbed wire on a dock before doesn't seem like dock equipment. Orlando gives one star. The park looked abandoned and not well kept. The showers were interesting. That's a good way to put it. The showers were interesting.

There are two showers and one toilet with only thin curtains separating everything. That sounds horrifying. Nope, I will shit in a bucket. I'm shitting in the lake. I don't care. Well what a stranger shits next to me. Okay. How you doing Bob pretty good Shake hands through the dirt get to wash your balls. Don't forget to wipe your ass. That's all right Should we switch when I'm done? I'll keep the water running for you. Oh God, you're gonna need it cuz that's a stinky one

The water felt slimy and actual visibility was about five feet. That seems to be the standard here. The best part was the train that kept passing and the horn that it blew. Just to say hi to all the people. That's the best part. That's the best part.

And sensing a drop of sarcasm. The price that you pay isn't worth it. On one positive note, the staff was extremely friendly apparently the staff is very no one Complains that they're dicks or anything like that, but you know Kenneth one star I came here a year ago to practice buoyancy control Jimmy are you up on your buoyancy control practices because pretty good at whether or not I float or sink I mean, but how much control... My balls on the other hand. How much control do you really have though? I mean, do you, maybe we'll get you in here. What is that?

I came alone. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, you poor bastard. That's tough. You poor bastard. Same things, man. Yeah, it happens all the time. No problem. I was invited with open arms. Will they get out of here here you lonely cocksucker. They're going to yell at you. We heard you came alone. Wow. Today I drove there again 75 miles in each direction to practice my navigation skills. Nope. Can't do it. Now I need a buddy. What? You don't need a buddy to practice navigation skills and 20 feet of water, but that's their new policy. So you don't drown in the murkiness.

Oh, it's 20 feet, evidently. 20 feet, I guess, in that area. I don't know. It's probably different depths, I would assume. So I wasted several hours of time and a half a tank of gas. But to add to that, this lake is funky. That's a good way to put it. And when you leave, you will also smell funky until you take a shower.

Ever wonder why there are no fish in this lake? None. Yeah. Water that no fish live in is terrifying. Fish will live through a lot of shit. They'll live in polluted water. This has to be uninhabitably... If fish don't live in it and there's none stocked in it, then they't and it's not like a natural lake and there's no way waterway into it

Eventually, they're gone. Have you ever seen any body of water that didn't have any fish in it? I've never seen a pond. I've been ponds the creek behind my house. They all everything is fish. I Don't know about apparently one fish gets in there, but I've never seen one that didn't have fish. Me neither. They all have some form of living. It says no life in here, which is really creepy, honestly. None.

Response from the owner. We're sorry your experience wasn't as positive as you planned. Here at ASP, we have the same rules regarding scuba safety for 27 years. You're never allowed to dive in our lake unless someone else is diving in the lake or you have a dive buddy I guess that's a great plan. There's shit down there planes and fucking buses You don't want to go down there and get your suit cut or Man we offered you to just wait 20 minutes while another family gets out into the lake and you stormed out of the shop without care.

We have no fish because the clay doesn't let enough algae grow for fish to survive. You didn't get into the lake and it doesn't, never has had any odor. Lying about our business because you wanna break rules is not okay and not welcome here. Yeah. You son of a bitch.

Okay, let me show you a picture. Cause this next, this next review has a picture of the visibility. I'll read the review first and show it to you. Sasha one star, terrible visibility. Could only see two feet in front of me even though the water looked beautifully blue from afar. Below is a photo of me descending from a buoy.

I know the owner likes to say that it depends on mother nature, but it should be the dive shop's responsibility to give a proper rundown about the conditions before letting its customers waste money. Sure. Yeah, the place seemed abandoned when we first drove in, and that should have been our warning sign.

When we went back to the shop after the testing the the water It was locked up since they left for lunch Unprofessional yeah leave one person behind look at the water. Oh good Christ You can barely see of the hand in front of your face. That's that's that's a river It's green. It's murky. It's you can't see anything. It's terrifying. That's not no No fish live here, man. I'm sorry, and I don't know the fucking reason. You think that fish could survive that. That's a lot of algae.

No shit, it looks, it's green for Christ's sake. They could just eat it right out of the goddamn, ugh, gross, out of the fucking water. The response from the owner says, you happen to show up right after a bad storm. Apparently it's just always storming here. It typically takes a week after a storm for our visibility to be back to normal. As a diver, it's in all caps your responsibility to always call ahead of time to find out our conditions.

OK. March is not our typical month to be open due to storms, hence the abandonment you're talking about. All right. Lauren one. Customer service is lacking. Okay, had issues with the rental gear and the shop owner proceeded to lecture us for 30 minutes in a condescending tone. Additionally, when we were done, when we were done our dive, okay, with our dive, I guess, no one was in the shop or surrounding buildings

We left confused and frustrated not recommended for the RV the lot was bumpy and the trail around the lake was unpaved Zen one star this doesn't sound like a very Zen experience for this person if you make reservations You should call and remind them well Well, that seems pointless. Remind them of reservations? I made a reservation yesterday. That seems. For two months down the road. How often should I be calling to remind them? Well, once a week just to keep an uptick.

It seems like that defeats the point of the reservation. Talk to you next Wednesday, yeah. Well, I'll talk to you then on my reservation reminder Wednesday. That'll be how I do it. If you enjoy diving in your bathtub, this place is for you. Or if you really like trains.

Loud trains. Monica one star. What an awful place. There we go. Not sure who's giving these people five stars. Trash everywhere. Looks like a dump. Water has zero visibility.

If you're not right next to your dive buddy, you cannot see them. There are no fish in water, not one. Only larva, insects, and spiders in the water. That's lovely. Isn't that what fish eat? I mean, this sounds like a great environment. That's what I mean. They're saying no algae.

There's, dude, tons, I'm telling you, where they are, the fish, I watched fish in my creek eat those little spiders that go on the water. Sure, yeah. I love those fucking things. eat those little spiders that go on the water. Sure, yeah. They love those fucking things. Yeah. That's what fly fishing simulates. Exactly.

It's like me, you're supposed to put a light thing and you're making it look like it's hopping around the water, it's the whole point. Trash, we stayed in the RV site. Awful setup. Trash, unexplainable random barbed wire lines in the middle. Our five year old ran into them, hurt his face. Oh my God, he got barbed wires. Hurt his face. Got barbed wire lines in the middle. Our five year old ran into them, hurt his face. Oh my god, he got barbed wire to the face.

Fuck man, looks like he tried to escape from a southern prison camp or some shit. Wow, train passes super close, blowing horns all night. People running this place seem to be very clueless and unapologetic for these conditions Wow Back again a response from the owner. Hello, Monica. We're sorry. You didn't enjoy your weekend at the park I don't know they always start out friendly. I'd start out. Listen fuckhead I think that's a better way if you're gonna be a dick. Don't be passive aggressive Just be aggressive. Yeah, listen here shitbag. We're gonna talk about this We're sorry. You didn't enjoy your weekend at the park regarding your comments of aggressive. Just be aggressive. Yeah, listen here, shitbag, we're going to talk about this.

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your weekend at the park. Regarding your comments, we have a scrap metal pile section on our property that we keep all unused metal and wood. I thought you were just remodeling something. That's why you had a scrap pile. What happened? Now they have a whole section that's just only for scrap. With a lot of wreck maintenance and dock repair, we have acquired a large amount of scrap and wood we have yet to haul off. Great. That's terrific. Now they go into the other shit here. Our lake is old brick quarry, meaning clay bottom and sides of the lake. Certain types of algae and resources fish need to survive will not grow in the lake, so fish cannot live here.

We have turtles and crawfish, the bottom feeders. The insects you're referring to are water bugs that are completely harmless and are going to be on any lake you go to. We do have a train that passes through and yet again out of our control what time or the amount of trains that come through. All these concerns other than your scrap pile are out of our control and we hope that you understand and that we are sorry that we can only do so much regarding late conditions. Holy shit.

Okay. So we've dove in. Yeah. We can't see shit. Yeah. We can't see a goddamn thing. Yeah. We're tired now and now we're on the road.

We're driving back east and we're on a goddamn interstate in Arkansas. No one wants to be there so we got to pull over for the night. We're too tired. Covet of mandates from all the barbed wire. Barbed wire and my face is all cut up. I smell terrible. We both reek. This car is just disgusting that we're both in here.

So let's just pull off the interstate in rural Arkansas and stay at a Motel 6. What do you say? This is Motel 6 in Arcadelfia, Arkansas. Arcadelfia? Arcadelfia. You know, like Philadelphia, but in Arkansas. Yeah, it sounds like something that the gang made up on its own. Yes, exactly.

It's Flip, Flip, Flipadelfia, and then when that game's over, they play Arc, Arc, Arcadelfia, which is a totally different game. It's when they flip Adelphia and then when that game's over they play arc arc arc Adelphia, which is a totally It's the sexual version of the Arcadelphia it's got three point six stars out of a shitload of reviews and it's a two-star hotel It says online here. Yeah Does not look nice 10 106 crystal palace, which is not a telling name. Arcadelfia there's no crystal in Arkansas unless it's a methodic named crystal.

Yeah. Or what crystal is smoking either one or melting down to inject it and we're fucking half collapsed veins Scar tissue covered veins into a fucking foot vein because all of our arm veins are fucked up God so Galen won five stars leading this off, and this is real recently too So they love this place for the price. It was an amazing amazing deal by the way we're talking $54 a night here oh 54 bucks a night for a room for bucks it's an extra today today's money right now $54 a night that's wild shit that's far too cheap that is why I'm very skeptical more than $54 worth of electricity tonight. No shit and they do little things they can add on.

If you want a fridge it's $5, a microwave $5. They'll rent it to you. What? Yeah they'll come bring it to you. Five bucks. $54 gets you four walls. Do you want a bed? Four walls and a bed. Well you're going to have to share the bed with some bugs though, from what I understand. For the price, this was an amazing deal. Billy was also wonderful and knew me by name. Oh, that's nice. Billy knows everybody. This is the cheers of shithole motels off the interstate.

The good, room was clean and well maintained, bed was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The bad, interstate noise was very loud. It's a two-star hotel, so I wouldn't plan a family vacation here, but I'd happily crash overnight while traveling again. Just try to bring earplugs for that interstate noise if you can.

Oh boy. Yeah, that's just fuckin' 18-wheelers flyin' by you all night. Well, I wonder if they beep their horn like the trains at the RV park there. Gaitano, five stars, which was almost my name by the way. Fucking Gaitano over here and Gaitano would see that his last name is Italian too. He can't do that, it's too much. You can't overwhelm people with that. Last name's bad enough, Friar. five stars here. No frills non pretentious rooms I arrived with my wife and dog with car troubles Billy and his staff are superb beings

Beings super accommodating very attentive and helped us through our troubles Jesus what trouble fucking troubles did you have a car troubles? Car broke down. They go above and beyond service. The rooms are very clean, the facility is clean. You could tell they place emphasis on cleanliness. The price was inexpensive. Thank you for everything.

Wow. Here's another five stars from Doug. This is a top echelon Motel 6. This is the best dog food I've ever tasted. This is the best dog shit on the planet. Amazing. Fantastic value. Courteous staff and a clean comfortable room for a very affordable price.

Maybe the best value I've ever experienced. Hats off. Hats off. Hats off. But don't put them on the ground because the bugs will take them experienced. Hats off. Hats off. Hats off, but don't put them on the ground because the bugs will take them away. Carry them off. Space, space is the first name, space gives three stars. Great price, Billy was awesome to check and make sure

if we needed anything. Do you, well that's the last thing I want. I check into a roadside motel, next thing you know I got Billy knocking on the door just to make sure I'm good. I don't think so. Billy, you stay in the office, I'll be all right. Reality check on expectations. This is an older model Motel 6.

In case you were expecting these. The brand new ones? The fancy Bellagio Motel 6s that are springing up with the giant fountains everywhere and the suites and everything. This isn't one of them. It'sagio Motel 6s that are springing up with the giant fountains everywhere, and you know, the suites and everything. This isn't one of them. It's an older Motel 6, so we had one roach and one fly. Just counted them.

One of each. Old school, maybe they had a relationship going on. They were meeting for a little rendezvous. You don't know. We checked inventory, and perfectly one roach, one fly. One roach, and that's what we were looking for. Old school dual handle Bathtub and shower and a bar of soap for the price and a place to sleep no problem. We spent our time

Away doing college stuff so this met our expectations and was worth it See that's that's a reasonable review look. It's three stars. It's obviously a fucking motel six Not the worst, but I wasn't murdered in my sleep. So fine. There was a fly, everything's fine. Whatever. It was $54. $54 is the main thing here.

Susan, one star. My friend's T-Mobile did not get reception. Apparently T-Mobile does not work here. They quit servicing Arcadelfia. Wow. So I tried to call the hotel in the middle of the night and the front desk person said he did not have the ability to transfer the call to my friend's room. Come on. They don't have that technological ability. Can you technologically, can you pair my clone my phone to the hotel room?

No, no, no trance she called the front desk Uh-huh, they're saying transfer the call from the front desk to a room like any other hotel Call and say can I have room to 25 they'll transfer you and that they can't do that not possible not possible My phone doesn't work. So just call the hotel and have them transfer the room Why don't they just call your room? Can they do that is no you can't no and they said our other friend had just been Taken by ambulance from the hotel We ended up using whatsapp

We just ended up using whatsapp like we were fucking trading arms in Sri Lanka or some shit like you know like a terrorist group We just used WhatsApp Is either that or 4chan? Yeah, one of the other we're gonna get on there afterwards, but we didn't need to What's that work for their family that their child was in the hotel in the hospital with H? You have to go through the dark web to get into this hotel's communication system. That's the problem really Michael one star this motel has bed bugs. Well, I'm out right there Dollars that's what yeah, of course light light a match everybody burn it to the fucking ground If you pay $54 for a room and didn't expect bugs

I mean, you're not you should sleep in a wetsuit on top of everything. Leave everything you own in the car. That's it, your car is cleaner. My husband discovered them when he woke up the following morning and we had gotten a runaround about a refund. They clearly don't plan to refund us, thought it would be an economical one night stay

but got way more than we bargained for. Yeah, an extra 30 bucks would have solved Your fucking problem man Disgusting place and terrible customer service stay away. What about Billy though? Didn't he check on you did he tuck you in Billy tucks you in at night? That's the main some cream on the bites He does that he puts some some gold bond on you really Really helps you out a lot Coach gives one star.

The front desk staff was rude. I'm disabled and they didn't read that in the memo I put when I made the reservation. She wanted to put me upstairs. That's not gonna work. Unless I paid quote a lot more for a downstairs room. How much more? Those are 54, down here they're 58.

So, don't know. A lot more? Those are 54 down here. They're 58. So don't know a lot more $62. I paid the extra $8. It was $62. The extra $8. Fucking bingo. He said, I guess I have a different idea of a lot more. He's like a lot more. oh no, and they're like, extra eight dollars. He's like, okay, sure, okay. I got it. Overall, not a good experience. The room was clean, but I felt like we weren't wanted. Yeah, and also, I think you might have a lawsuit too, because. Oh yeah, you can't charge.

You can't charge more for an ADA room. You can't say yes, that an ADA room is, I mean maybe, yeah, who knows. All the ADA rooms are downstairs and the downstairs rooms are more money. They should be downstairs, unless there's an elevator. Yeah. I think that's a law, like you have to have some.

There has to be an elevator. Why the fuck would you put them on the top floor with no elevator? Some sort of tease? Hey guys, crawl your fucking, half dead fish pull your ass up the steps. Slither up the stairs. It's worth it.

You fucking legless piece of shit. It's worth it. I stayed in a hotel once where they were like out of rooms and they had to put me in one of the ADA rooms and it was like the first room next to the front desk. It was like right there. Yeah, it's always right there. It was right there. It's supposed to be. It was like right there. It was right there. It's supposed to be.

It was crazy. Okay, Douglas, one star. Place should be shut down. Right. Okay. Made a reservation, but when we got there, was informed kids were an additional $10 each. Oh, I didn't know you had offspring with you. $10 each.

This is a single occupancy room for $54. Wow. That's more than an upgrade to the down level. $10 each. This is a single occupancy room for $54. Wow. That's more than an upgrade to the down level. You could get a microwave and a fridge for that. And pets are $15. Yeah. And if either of those little fuckers are handicapped, it's another eight.

It's another eight. Two dogs and two. But two dogs and two kids is as much as the room. So that'll get you. It doubles. Maybe we'll just buy another room. Yeah. For the dogs and the kids is as much as the room. So that'll get you. It doubles, maybe we'll just buy another room. Buy us another room. Yeah, for the dogs and the kids, move in there. It was not in their additional notes.

Corporate says they should not be charging for pets. We tried two rooms, both had bed bugs. Oh my God. Several live ones in all stages of life. Oh God. I got pupils over here. All stages of life. Oh, God. All stages of life. Jesus Christ. I don't want to know.

There's an old man smoking a cigar bedbug at the end. He's going to say there's one guy at the end and there's a kid, there's the kid bedbugs playing. There's bedbugs, bedbugs just working like a bedbug in a hard hat. He's out there working Bed bug skateboarding bed bugs little round glasses on you know a little older Sitting in bed reading in a kraftmatic adjustable. You know I'm saying And then there's a little funeral for one of the bed bugs off there is the full stage of life there

You got a bed bug in the there. It's the full stage of life there. It's the full circle of life. You got a bed bug in the stirrups. Delivering a new bed bug. Delivering a new bed bug. Well, another bed bug says, push, push. We left and requested refund. We had a guaranteed booking on Motel 6 app, yet Lady tried to charge me $40 more.

She cited a white paper with no corporate letterhead after we arrived. See look I printed this out $40 more. Ok. Woah. Cecilia one star. If I could rate this zero I would. She nailed it. Cecilia you did it.

I'm so proud of you. I mean it's pretty close. It's as close as it's going to get. Itilia you did it. I'm so proud of you It's pretty damn good. Yeah, she if it ends in I would I'll take it at this point As soon as I walked in there there was a giant roach up on the wall whoops to top off Roaches the AC didn't even work. I literally paid to stay, well how else would you do it but literally? I theoretically, I temporally paid to, what are you talking about? How many? Figuratively paid, yeah. God damn it.

I literally paid to stay here and turned around and left. I get the low prices but roaches are a no go. Yeah. You're not sharing the room with any other living beings. Hopefully when I was leaving He asked me was everything okay, and I told him there was a roach he played dumb What's a roach is that what he said? How do you play dumb? There's roaches in there. I don't know what that is I'm sorry, but when there's one there are more somewhere else Yeah, you can't miss them because they don't stay or they stay still or hide so it had to have been known that they are there

Okay Teresa one star when I arrived the building looked to be abandoned. That's a good sign for a motel Operating hotel. Yeah, that's good. That's what you want. We were the only guests again great sign The front desk clerk was rude and disrespectful. After checking in, we did some running around, came back to the room to eat and had a roach run across the bed. Oh Jesus. The bed.

Yuck. Luckily I killed it because the same rude front desk clerk had to send someone to quote check it out when I asked for another room. We have to see a corpse corpse we need to see a body little chalk over a fucking outline around it see there it is I think the first time you've been told about these come on it's a no self check I don't think so then proceeded to tell me that was nature no No, nope, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. A dragonfly in the room would be,

that got in from outside of it, it's nature. If I'm in a campground and I see bugs and I'm in a tent, I expect to see some nature. Nature, nature, a roach is not nature. You know where I've seen most roaches? Indoors, not nature. That's the thing, they like it inside inside roaches. They don't hang out outside Perceived to tell me that that was nature and all the rooms would be the same. Yeah, if there's roaches in one room

They're in fucking all of them at that point. So I Promptly asked for a refund never again. Will I stay here too bad? I can't give less than one star now you didn't you fuck off Teresa almost it does it doesn't deserve that much nature-friendly round it's like camping you like camping well you're paying $54 for no tent there's pugs outside, I mean, come on. It's a BYOT, man, that's all it is. There's a lot of gaps in the walls, I don't know. Yeah, we think it's charming.

We find it, we find it charming. Leave the lights on because it keeps the roaches from coming in. You just don't, stop turning the lights off, you fucking idiots, Jesus. When you turn them on, they scatter. Well, leave them on. Good God, that's the funny thing lights on the roach is still going lights on people in there

He's like that's all right. Hold on a minute. I left. I left my cigarettes over here. Hold on I'll be out of here. I'll be out of your way in a minute. Hold on You guys see no you guys seen a bick mock three. I can't find my raise. I went to bathroom I can't find nothing if you find it in the bathroom, I can't find nothing. If you find it, let me know. I'll be over in the corner smoking. Yeah. Cheryl one star.

No heat, only a sheet. It's kinda nice and hot. Coming in hot and rhyming. No heat, only a sheet. Let's see if she can keep it up. Two people in room, one towel. Well that doesn't rhyme, nevermind Cheryl. Two people in room, one towel. That doesn't rhyme. Never mind, Cheryl.

Two people in room, one towel. When I asked for another, I was asked for the one that was in the room before I could have another. You have to trade in your towel. It's like a library or a gym. You've got to leave your fucking ID to get the basketball. This is crazy. You've got to leave it like, whoa, oh my God, before I could have another. What the fuck? Like a gym, you gotta leave your fucking ID to get the basketball. This is crazy.

You gotta leave it like, whoa, oh my god, before I could have another. Explained it was currently on my daughter's wet head. You know. Yeah. My ass is wet, my kid's dry. Why don't you use that one? How about that? Not sure why everyone says it's reasonably priced, I charged a hundred and thirty dollars for two nights

Because that's sixty five dollars a night is extremely reasonable. That's why she that's so fucking cheap Halls were full of smoke and the whole place including the lobby smelled of marijuana. Maybe I've misjudged this place Yeah, you never know. It might be it might be okay. Yeah, we're stay ever Well, and the problem is that roach he's the guy who sells the weed, so they're never going to root it out of there. He's selling it. He's got fat dime bags you've got to have. Motel 6 should be ashamed to have them use their name.

If you can shame the good name of Motel 6, you've really gone down too far. Here we go. Stephanie one star if I could give this place zero stars First the rooms are all caps nothing of what they look like in the photos in the photos that they look like clean like a kind of a newish clean room Another hotel. It's definitely not or they have one room. That's clean. That's their photo room The TV is not even connected to the wall It was taped there. How the fuck you tape a TV to the wall How the fuck can you tape a TV to the wall? That's a lot of duct tape. Holy shit.

And the wires were cut off so you can't use it. Well, take my taping up there. It's like a picture? Wow. There were intoxicated women fighting in the halls at 2 in the morning. That's right. Threatening to get out a gun and shoot everyone in the motel. Oh, well that's why.

It's entertaining until you're involving me. I'll watch two women, two drunk women, fight in the fucking hall at two in the morning. That sounds awesome. Once they're saying I'll kill everybody though, not that fun. Then at three in the morning, a mentally disturbed and intoxicated woman knocking on all the doors. If she didn't hear us get up, she would knock even louder. Whoa.

At least it's women. Like you feel less threatened when it's like drunk women. Like if it's drunk dudes, that's scary. Well, yeah, but anyone who's threatening just mass murder with a gun, I'm pretty, I'm upset. Regardless, I don't care what's between their legs at that point. I'm worried Yeah, but yeah two dudes fighting out there two in the morning like oh god that's gonna get other two women You're like, let's see how this works out. This could be fun. Yeah, this could be great. Yeah The phone system is horrible, too

The wire is cut you can tell people but it's very hard to speak in there Or you can call people but it's very hard to speak in there The beds are held together by duct tape and they look nothing like the photos all in all a very disgusting experience The rooms tape together they tape the room together. That's not good The TV and the better tape this might be the photo room. It's just temporary. The TV and the bed are taped. This might be the photo room. It's just temporary. They don't... Wow.

The hamburger that they show on the McDonald's commercial is inedible. You can't eat that. There's glue all over it. There's glue and all sorts of... There's like little pieces of cardboard to prop stuff up. It's not... That's this room. That's right.

That's it, man. Inspiration, finally. one last one here. One star. When I tried to call hotel to ask about pet fees through an interpreter service as I am deaf. Oh no. If you've ever worked in a phone job and deaf people calls are very hard. They TT something wide calls. They're really hard to do.

It's crazy, yeah. Because you have to say your thing and then say stop, and if you talk too fast, they yell at you to slow down, because there's somebody typing it. They go, slow down! You're like, fuck you, I'm at work. I've yelled at those people before. I'm making 4.25 an hour, fuck you!

I worked at U-Haul, and not only did you have to get a certain amount of calls in, like they were all monitored and you had to get through shit or you didn't make money. So like I was making like minimum wage plus commission. So it's like, I'm trying to make money and they're like, stop, wait. I go, fuck you dude, type faster. I literally said, who the fuck are we talking about that?

And he goes, I have to type everything you say. I go, then tell this motherfucker what we're arguing about. I don't care. Bring them into the conversation. Make sure they know I'm frustrated by you. You. Yeah, not the system. You're a shitty typist. That's all I're arguing about. I don't care bring them into the conversation make sure they know I'm frustrated by you you yeah Not the system. You're a shitty typist. That's all I'm upset about try taking a pizza order. That was fucking miserable Oh, yeah, that's hard. That's hard. Are you haul water? They have to ask like a million questions. Do you have this? How much what's the difference between the 10 and the 12 foot truck? Yeah?

Talk slower fuck you that's that's the difference between the 10 and the 12 foot truck? Yeah, do I need a CDL? Well, if you do blah blah blah, talk slower. Fuck you! That's the conversation. The person who answered the phone hung up on me. Very nice. They were like, fuck you, you death bastard. They refused to answer my call. After calling back three more times, they finally answered again and told me that I

keep calling and to never call again. Type that out fucker. Please never call back. Holy shit. Okay, I think we've had an ass full of America so far. It's enough. Between a lake with no fish and the nature motel over here and women fighting it too in the morning. Let's go to another country and see if they figure anything out any better than us here. Let's go down to Brazil. Yeah, we're going to Rio de Janeiro. Oh, it's a nice place.

We are going to look at the giant Christ statue. Yeah, we're going to see Christ the Redeemer over here. His arms out outstretched wide. And Norm, it's a giant 30 meter tall mountaintop, it's a 90 foot tall statue on top of a mountain. Statue of Jesus accessed by train and offering city views. The address, I'm not even going to bother. It's a, look anywhere in the country, look that way. That's where it is. You've walked toward it. You've all seen it here. It has 4.8 stars out of, listen to this shit, 122,382 reviews.

That's amazing. That's a lot. That's a lot. We'll find people who will complain though. Of course. It seems to be so high up, why is there no wifi? Why is there no wifi? My prayers are going unanswered even though the next to a giant who knows

Francisco five stars here they have this person has a shitload of reviews on the top of a mountain So it's like extra fucking high. It's up there Yeah, you can see it from this it's supposed to like stand out in the city an absolutely an experience of a lifetime, right? This is something that I will never forget. We left early to hopefully beat out the crowds and also visited on a weekday. There was still a crowd, just not a big one. We bought, we bought our tick, well, our is A-R-E.

We'll let them go here. I don't know if they're from, English is their first language. Bought our tickets when we got there. Took a picture with a photographer where they sell you the photo when you leave. Yeah, you know, like an amusement park. The tram ride was very cool and cool views on the way up.

Once at the top, you'll walk through the stairs and finally the elevator where you will see one of the seven wonders of the world. Huh? Is this a wonder of the world? I don't, I didn't think so. Seventh? Hold on. If the Great Wall of China is one of them,

that's a lot harder to fucking build than a 90 foot statue. Give me a, what are we talking about here? Has nothing to do with what the statue. Is Christ the Redeemer one of them? Does nothing to do with what the statue is of. It could be a statue of me and I'd say that's not okay. What are we talking about here? Christ the Redeemer is not one of them.

Okay, yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Yeah, it's the pyramids hanging from the babbles. Well, these are the ancient ones, so maybe there's more. I don't know. I don't know. Hanging gardens, the Temple of Artemis, mausoleum of Halic-a-narcissus, what is that? Colossus of Rhodes, Lighthouse of Alexander,

these are the old ones. Yeah, these are like Greece and Egypt and shit like that, like old societies. Seven wonders of the world have to be, I thought they, oh, and those are natural too. So there's the natural wonders, and then there's the other, yeah, the coral reef and all that shit,

but who knows, who cares, it doesn't matter. Either way, I would think, by the way, and all that shit, but who knows who cares it doesn't matter Either way, I would think by the way and listen Hey, I'm not a religious guy and I don't know and I'm not sniping or taking any shots here But price sort of demur is from what I've what I from the from these rumblings. I've heard about Jesus He didn't seem like a guy who'd be like, you know what I want? A fucking 90 foot statue of me right there, me. I'm gonna need a 90 feet. Make my arms go out. Make me look hot too. Make like a bulge in my pants.

I don't see that. He seemed like a humble cat based on all the readings. It wouldn't be, he'd be like, no, no, no. I mean nine feet might be too much for him. Please, please, no, don't. Yeah, use that concrete to build houses for the poor or something he would have probably said they're like nah fuck that A statue in the pose of him with which he died. That's the other thing. That's yeah

Well, what says a George Carlin joke the old Joker if Jesus ever did come back He's got you're wearing all the people that like him of a fucking necklace of him being crucified. Gee, thanks, what the fuck, man, god damn it. You guys are on my side? It might be Bill Hicks, yeah, I can't remember who, I knew it was from the 90s or something. A statue of him with minus the cross just up there out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's just like, hey, that's rough too,

but they like to, I don't know. So yeah, took a picture, did all that shit. We've done now three of the, four of the seven wonders. Oh yeah, we keep doing it. Yeah, we did the Great Wall recently. Five, we did the pyramids too, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, or at least one of them. And the Colosseum?

We did one of them. We did do the Colosseum. And Machu Picchu. It was breathtaking. Yeah, Machu Picchu too. There's a bunch of people taking photos, but you still have opportunities to get pictures of your own before leaving by some souvenirs and some burgers that were

really good. Definitely worth the wait and highly recommend. If there's one thing that Jesus was all for, it was souvenir shops. And Brazilian burgers. He really was into that. He liked that a lot. Were they burgers in Brazil? He really was into that like that a lot Burgers As a big beef country in Brazil. Yeah, they're knocked down the rainforest to to make more cattle. Yeah They don't think burgers probably also their pork a Brazilian steak houses are Like that, but cheeseburgers just a cheeseburger

Yeah, yeah. I guess they like that. But cheeseburgers? Just a cheeseburger. Anthony Five Stars. Great experience and view. A must if visiting the area. I recommend going either morning so the sun is at optimal position for photos of the statue or evening so the sun is right behind them.

Then you get good pictures of Sugarloaf Mountains as well. Tram rides about 20 minutes and I believe it's scheduled for every 30 minutes. Pro tip, after a couple sets of stairs, when you get to the taxi lot level, there are escalators to the left of the statue. Pro tip, get on the escalators. Should be showing where the handicap people need to go too.

Yeah, that's, nope. That should be very obvious where those are. It shouldn't be like, ooh, it's a hidden secret. It's a right Yeah, I need a heck of a guy in the wheelchairs Frederick three stars Christ the Redeemer this was my third world wonder to visit and one of the crowded ones I went and visited as early as I could but there's still lots of ways to go to Christ the Redeemer and I took the tram, there's also a bus van route which is nearby the Redeemer itself. It was so hard to take a great photo with Christ.

You know that's really been people's complaint for thousands of years now. Jesus doesn't, he hates selfies, you know what I'm saying, so he won't, you know, like it's tough, you know, he's like listen, listen, I'd love to but if I took a selfie with you I gotta take a selfie with everybody, you know like it's tough. You know he's like listen listen I'd love to but if I took a selfie with you. I gotta take a selfie with everybody You know it's gonna get a little much Little too much. You know I'm saying it's a fool's like three or four He would be one thing, but there's like you know like a billion of you, and it's too much Common thing we say in frustration Christ the Redeemer that Christ like a very easy

Somebody probably yeah Either you wait or burn yourself in the heat of the Sun Jesus sounds like you're up in flames. There's also different sections to get to the view of Rio, which is amazing I think the best I think it's best to visit before it closes I would not suggest going early in the morning next time. There's also shops and stores upstairs again Christ loves commerce. That's a, he does, he loves it. Big fan of it, the almighty dollar. Big fan of it, yeah.

He and the dollar, both of us, almighty. Yep, all fucking mighty, baby. He's real into bitcoin, I hear now. William Three Stars, compulsory tourist trap the journey there is better than the arrival if we had time the jungle around would look amazing the big Jesus once up there doesn't look that big doesn't look that big it's a nice I get up there like meh you know it's more mid-65 to be it's a mid 90 foot Jesus I I don't know.

I got a guy, no guy's got one bigger in his house, you know what I mean? It's just not that big a deal. Great view of Rio though. There's a couple pictures I'll show you of views of Rio in a second here. Estelle three stars. Obviously, I, like any first time visitor in Rio, had to visit it. I was a bit put off by the reviews of the train and rightly so it took us two hours to go up With a crazy heat and no shade. It's nice up there, but no highlight and badly maintained

You're just a statue statue forgot shade. That's it. No shade Jesus doesn't provide shade. He provides plenty but not shade Redemption and all this but shade you're on your own pal, I don't know what to tell you. Planetary, I don't tell you. I don't do shade, alright? I'm too busy like saving your soul and doing things like that. You want fucking shade too? You fucking selfish bastard.

Get out of here. I'll save your soul but your skin's on you pal. That's all I'm gonna say. So yes, you have to go but be patient and have no huge expectations then why do you have to go if it's not good I don't understand why you have to go if you manage book online however in our case always gave an error without specifying the issue Nicholas one star some guys tried to scam my family at the exit and started an argument. We escaped while being threatened and photographed and we were yelled that we cannot return to Christ the Redeemer ever again.

Excommunication. Perhaps those were actual employees of something. You never know. I don't know. Who? The wise men? Who's here? What are we talking about?

The scammer ran you off taking your picture and telling you never come back again. Never come back, your picture's gonna be up on the wall like you wrote a bad check in the 80s or something. We were unable to scam this man, he's not letting the locker room out. Get out of here. However, the statue was magnificent as well as the view,

only problem was that it was too crowded, as you would imagine. Well, and you imagine the scammers and the scammers who yelled at us and we escaped they use the word escaped for Christ sake Claudio Claudio Claudio with a you on the end ca C-l-a-u-d-i-u Claudio Claudio one star for Claudio went on a Friday. Waited 4 hours in full sun at the queues. It was miserable standing at 5 queues after we were told that it would take up to 1 hour. Everything was packed with people.

We could not enjoy being up there as there was no space to move and enjoy the landmark. What is, you look at it, that's it, you enjoy it. We bought tickets online in advance for 10 a.m. Left toward the statue at 9.47 with the company's bus. Arrived at the statue at 2 p.m. Wow, there's no difference buying online or at the site. That doesn't sound very efficient there. Here's more here, Flow, one star.

5,000 people are visiting this place every day. That seems like a low number, doesn't it? Seems like more than that would go there. There better be more than that. One of the natural wonders, or one of the wonders of the world not the natural Yeah, there's only seven of these and there's only five though. Why fucking build it? I think your average in-and-out burger gets more people a day than that got through there. You know what I mean? Yeah at

$15 per ticket that's $75,000 every single day and That the city and the church are raking in then you arrive at Christ our Redeemer and witness multiple cats laying there visibly in pain well he hasn't finished redeeming them yet he's gonna fix it all having a miserable time breathing because because of the weather and altitude and because apparently they're being attacked by monkeys there as one of the people working here admitted.

There's an outbreak. So the cats and the monkeys are fighting. Yeah. That sounds like all order's broken down. Yeah. All order in the world is broken down. Find patient zero and solve this shit. Only there was somebody that could help and fix

and maybe redeem all of this. Only. Perhaps he cursed this place. I guess so, maybe for selling burgers and having shops. And you start asking yourself, who brought these poor creatures up here and can either the church nor the city, which is amassing an insane $27,500,000 on a yearly basis,

provide shelter for a handful of cats? And more importantly, what would Jesus say to these people in charge? All caps. It's the first person to bring that up though. Honestly, if you're all going to be like super Christy, let's, what are we fucking bring it up here? Yeah. Yeah.

Michael one star. Beware of the van company listed on the ticket options as the official site on Google is not correct even if you buy online Ticket they will ask you to pay an extra $90 per person an extra 90 BRL. I don't know Brazilian I don't know whatever for Brazilian Redeemer Lager that's their beer there, per person to drive you up the mountain. In addition to this irritating experience, the site is loaded with people and is impossible to walk peacefully and being asked constantly to move for pictures, probably the last time for him anyway. Anuki, one star.

Honestly not worth the visit. The statue is much smaller than one would think this is This is the same as a how you know how tall 90 feet is that's so fucking big. It's nine basketball hoops It's pretty fucking big Jesus. I don't know what to tell you is it Is it I think it's yeah smaller than that cross in Texas though That cross in Texas dwarfs crazy that is crazy the Jesus up top. I don't think is very big I think it's just 90 or 90 feet high I think the Jesus part is like life like almost maybe it's a bit bigger probably But I don't think his feet touch the fucking ground

He's on a little podium. Yeah, I think he's up. He might be yeah, maybe on a little pulpit up there Little step stool leg of it. He's on a little podium? Yeah I think he's up there. He might be yeah maybe on a little pulpit up there. A little step stool. That's nice. You want to do that's friendly. Give him a step stool. You can't even properly see it when you stand under it. You can't see most things when you stand under them. That's a problem. Stand back a little bit. To be under a tree and go I'm just looking up and seeing some leaves I don't see anything Yeah, cuz you're under it stupid There's no shade you're out in the Sun and can't even enjoy the view if you don't get scammed into overpaying the regular price of 60 brs is not worth it in my honest opinion if you get the same you can get the same view for free from the next hill

Okay, Christian one star, appropriately Christian is visiting. One star, just a really bad experience with the Taurus bus near the train. They pushed to take the bus but it was so exhausted. The bus was exhausted? The bus was tired? Did you ask it? Was it like Thomas the train? Did it tell you?

It's sad. It's sad. It gets to this often. Did you ask it? Was it like Thomas the train? Did it tell you? Yeah It's sad It blinks its head like It needs a real rest It's got eyelashes on it I was so exhausted cause they just cheat people You think you

save time It's S-A-C-E so I had to quickly figure out what's near the C, and it's the V, it's save. You think you save time, but you waste, not waste, the normal way you put that, waste like your waste on your body. You waste more so people don't take the bus. Yeah.

Yeah, try take train instead, even long Q. Thank you, Charlie Day. This is just, again, all people there is liar. Liar, L-I-E-R by the way. All people there is liar so don't trust anyone please. Wow, I hope English is not this person's first language. I pray to Christ the Redeemer that English is not that person's first language. Oh Christian.

Holy shit. I hope you know Christianity better than you know the English language. I hope so. Yeah, I definitely hope so because you're going to need something. Warren one star, how best to summarize this overly sensationalized landmark? Warren, how dare you? Warren, calm down.

It's a big statue. If you wanna go see a big statue of Jesus, it's great. If you don't care about it, it's probably not so great. That'd be the review. This guy's got a fuckload of reviews too on here. He has 1,033 photos loaded in here. How do you have that much to say? God damn, man.

Get a job, what are you doing? How do you have time to go anywhere? You should be looking for work all this time because you have, wow, a lot of time. It's a wildly overcrowded tourist trap littered with selfie sticks and souvenir kiosks every 20 feet. Yeah, that sounds very Christ-like, I would say.

That's exactly what I expect, though. That's exactly. Whatever enjoyment there is to be had of the statue or surrounding views is completely disrupted by the swaths of people clamoring for photos at every overlook. Of course. Yeah, the photos.

Like, your photo's gonna be any better than a photo you got if you Googled the fucking statue and looked at the images. I bet those photos be any better than a photo you got if you googled the fucking statue and looked at the images I mean you're about those photos are much better than you much better than you with your phone going around Oh, can you move? Oh, yeah. Okay click. Yeah, I got it What do you want to bet that's a professional photographer that took that with a fucking drone or a helicopter of some sort of way cooler? Yeah Anything where I'm going just to look at something. I bet I can look at it without going there and I don't need to go there

That's the way. It's way fucking see it. If there's nothing to do. I'm not going anywhere Matt and then it says imagine a theme park with no rides and only lines. This is it. So hell Hell is what they're talking about Only lines that lead to nothing lead to another line that is it that's the nightmare theme park isn't it yeah that's hell on earth you've just described it very ironic that this is also hell on earth wow there are better views to be had of Rio with less hassle by all means go and judge yourself but I'm confident you'll be in agreement afterward. I got it covered this person benja

one star worst experience I've ever been to ever Worst Experience I've ever been to this person's had a very easy life Yeah, you basically pay to be lining up for four hours. Do not come. Yeah Yeah, that can't be the worst experience you've ever had and if it is hats off and congratulations my friend Be one star Actually, it was nice, but I wanted people to see this

Okay, colon all caps be aware of corruption Okay, it's a foreign country and it's their fucking... Okay. It's just a place where tourists come. There's always, I mean, never mind foreign country, go to Times Square. I mean, yeah, it's a tourist location in a country that many people from all around the world come to. Oh, yeah, yeah.

You're going to have problems. It's really gonna have problems magnet magnetize some people in front of the ticket booth for the entrance work together with the people from the ticket booth and take more money from you than is needed for the entrance. Yeah, they got a little double ticketing scam going on here or something. A ticket is supposed to be around seventy five per person. I assume that's the Brazilian dollars there. They said it was 150, so we paid 300 for two tickets.

Then we noticed that the guy in front of the booth got 75 and the guy inside the booth kept the other 75 and put into the cashier the officially needed 150. Yeah, it's a scam. They're skimming on you. It's a skim of a scam is what they're doing here. It does not seem to be happening to everyone since we talked to some people. It's just the people that look like they can afford it.

Congratulations on looking like a wealthy dummy. Americans with nice jewelry on and you probably had a fucking coach purse or some shit that they go, oh, that purse costs more than a. I what I make in a month, so fuck these people Yeah, I assume. That's probably what happens. Just be aware that even the official looking people might be tricking you Wow, but it was still a really nice experience We had awesome weather and could see a nice sunset and so everyone working there knows who it was weather and could see a nice sunset and so everyone working there knows who it was. We went there on the 18th of March on the afternoon at around 430 p.m. so whoever's working you get them. Ingvar, all right that's definitely foreign of

some kind. One star. If you hike up there by foot as opposed to taking the train, a bus, a helicopter or driving. The first time a helicopter's been put into the option Ingvar, slinging helicopter money all around here. You have to pay an entry fee to get to the statue. This has become a global symbol of Christianity worldwide so I guess it should be no wonder that someone wants to make money on it on the symbol of a gift of love. Yeah, exactly Also hiking up there is a nice trip, but rather dullified by all the constant helicopter noise

Helicopter noise that's in the Bible. They're always taught constant helicopter noise wherever Jesus went There's always you know choppers buzzing around. It's the work fucking the media the paparazzi it's a lot you know Julia one star what's happening news 13 they got to be there Julia one star too many people yeah not organized at all beautiful view but it's super annoying all people trying to get a picture and also also, don't get the train up, it's a nightmare to get back down. It took us more than an hour. Well here's the view that you're getting, so nevermind the statue, the view is pretty fucking awesome.

God damn, yeah. It's incredible. That's what I saw when I saw it on... Yeah, Google. Well, the news, or the fucking Olympics were just in Rio, and that's the shot they showed with Christ the Redeemer over there in the left-hand corner. It's fucking incredible.

This is from Google, though. This is just a pic. This isn't someone that they took. You don't need to go. I got it. Look at that. You can see all the water, and you have the boats in the water,

the mountains, the city. You can see everything, water, mountain, city. You can even see. That's a sick fucking city. Wow, look how far it goes across the water. That's fucking amazing. And those are like mountains over there that come out of the ocean?

That's crazy. It's, yeah, ocean right up to mountains. It's fucking, it looks fake. It looks like some shit you'd make in like Sim City back in the day or something. What it looks like is what you assume like old ancient cities look like. Yeah, yeah,, it actually does right? Yeah, that's wild Bless less boats probably yeah

All right, we'll finish up with these two Jack one star don't bother Three don't don't I st. It three hour queue to get a tram up to the most overcrowded hill on earth Probably Everest would you know that seems way more over there. They have like a loose platform Yeah, no, it's the most because they have no room up there. So there's only they have room for one person There's 30 people trying to get to that one little spot All you're looking at is a bunch of clouds anyway, cuz you're above you're above everything. Yeah, if it's a clear day I guess it's good further two.5 hour cues to get down Also, how is this a wonder of the world?

Petra the pyramids Machu Picchu Taj Mahal and this tin pot statue Scandalous tin. I have to agree. I have to agree though a 90-foot statue does not a world wonder make I don't care I think what it's of I think what's of. I think what the wonder is is how did they get it up there? Because it's not been there very long. Or it's been there a very long time, right? I think. Me. How old is that fucking thing?

That's a good question. Less than 2,000 years, I'm gonna guess. Just to guess. I think that's true. Just gonna guess, unless they are really, really clairvoyant down. Oh my God. I'm embarrassed that we gave a fuck it was completed For fuck's sake we made the Hoover Dam in the Empire State Building too. That's way more impressive That is ridiculous, that's ridiculous we were building literally the Empire State Building at the same exact fucking time.

Oh, okay. So it isn't like him at the very tip top of a stand. There's a very small post that he's standing on. Yeah, it's just him up there. But it's up in the middle of nowhere, James. The wonder is how the fuck did they do that in 34? I mean, we built fucking, we carved faces in the side of a fucking stone mountain. It's not that difficult. You know what I mean they we built fucking we carved faces in the side of a fucking stone mountain. It's not that difficult Before that that was like after post Teddy Roosevelt

Yeah, that's a 1910. I think that there's a tennis 20 year I'm gonna say 23 just 41 41, but they were building it for a long time Yes, I wonder they start it 14 years before in the 20s So in the 20s they were mapping out faces in a rock on a mountain and and building Five years later they drug this big bastard up a hill and we're supposed to we're supposed to fucking go there from a little across the world Yeah, yeah, it's what I'm saying the cross in Texas is more impressive, and that's a really creepy site This is too big It's a yeah, that's one star from this next one the area is unsafe Robbed at knife point hiking down very that now if that's not Christ like you know

Wow Mediocre concrete statue less than a hundred years old made shit's made a Mid deity we have here Keith one star got scammed for the entrance fee by this guy. Oh, where is he? There he is.

There he is. Oh wow, really? This guy. Blurry picture of a Brazilian person. That's all it is. It looks like a soccer hooligan. He does, he does. Brazilian soccer hooligan.

He's waiting to fucking Jack Pele, I think, when he comes out of somewhere. Had fake credentials at the entrance of the location, made a complaint to security and the police, but of course they said they couldn't do anything. Staff even laughed at me. Yeah, stupid. What are you giving money to people for? He gave that guy money? He doesn't even look like he works here. He doesn't even have a fucking one of our shirts on. He's wearing a soccer jersey.

It's crazy. Nick won star most awful trip of my entire life, probably because of the company I had at the time That's the whole review. What's he just leaves it there? That's what I'm saying They have since broken up and he's like well, whatever we did together. I'm gonna review it poorly Me no one star I was really disappointed to see that he's not interactive What what fuck are you talking about? This is not a children's zoo. You don't have interactive Animatronic animals I needed Christ the Redeemer to do the jerk-off motion for me. Oh my god. It gets better though I'm really I'm really liking the people of Brazil after they hear this though

I was really disappointed to see that he's not interactive when I asked a local they swore at me in Portuguese They called me a dumb bitch in Portuguese Okay Yeah, I don't know I don't speak Portuguese and then finally last two here Renzo one star horrible logistics Path is unsafe due to robberies. Don't go during the holidays. I've heard that Brazil's got some pretty rough-and-tumbles there Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, there's some street crime in Brazil like a motherfucker in Rio Yeah, Rio is one of those places. They were worried about when the Olympics were going through there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah totally Net last one here just summarizes everything.

I don't know why you'd even leave a review of this. One star, the Christ statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a statue of Jesus on top of a mountain in Rio de Janeiro. It is a popular tourist attraction when people visit Rio de Janeiro. Does this person make AI fucking reviews? It is beautiful when you see the view from below the statue

You can see the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro Frankfurt Germany This is in Brazil Not worth visiting Okay, one starts the only thing you tell us about it one star Okay, one star.
