Speaker 2 And welcome back to WSHIT, this hour of WSHIT News, sponsored by Jerry's Pawn Shop and Penning Zoo. At Jerry's, we're making deals while the piggies squeals.

Speaker 2 On a follow-up to a follow-up story, after newly elected Mayor Slaubusch announced that Tom Beetleberry would be the president of the Crab Apple Women's Club, the citizens of the township were outraged.

Speaker 2 In response, Mayor Slaubush put out a video further enraging the citizens of CrabApple.

Speaker 2 He then signed into law buy one get one mango margaritas at Margarita Chacharitas, causing the township to be further outraged and mostly drunk.

Speaker 2 In response to the BOGO declaration, the pastor of the hard sword of the Lord called the mayor and demanded that he re-secind the buy one, get one mango margaritas at margarita chacharitas.

Speaker 2 So if you're following up to this point, everyone is outraged at everyone.

Speaker 2 Now, with the entire township in chaos, Mayor Slawbush has put another pin in the paddle, signing yet another mayoral declaration that Crab Apple citizens can only drink two alcoholic beverages per week.

Speaker 2 As you can imagine, most Crab Applians, this Crab Applian included, are very upset by this current declaration.

Speaker 2 our man on the street jimmy peckerwood caught up with some people on main street to find out how they felt about being limited to just two alcoholic beverages per week here's what one crab apple citizen had to say two drinks a week well that's just not uh feasible not in this country well come on man two drinks a week what's that gonna do for you i mean that doesn't even get you through a day a reasonable amount if you're i mean if you're at home you should be able to have like uh four beer

Speaker 2 that's just that ain't that's just two more I mean, I'll have six, but four is a fair number.

Speaker 2 And in further developing news, many citizens of the township have gathered in protest at Margarita Chacharitas, and in a sign of solidarity, are drinking as many alcoholic drinks as they possibly can.

Speaker 2 With some customers reportedly there for over 36 hours. While the local municipal hospital only reports a few minor injuries, the Crab Apple Pharmacy has seen a run on pregnancy tests.

Speaker 2 WSHIT will be first on the scene as soon as I get off my shift. We'll be back after this commercial break.

Speaker 2 On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Speaker 2 Fortune favors the bold. Fuck you.
It's luck. And luck is a roll of the dice.
It's not because you're smarter than the rest of the people around you. Likely, you're dumber.

Speaker 2 The truth is, you just blindly walked into a goddamn nut.

Speaker 2 So sit down and shut up.

Speaker 2 No one wants to hear it.

Speaker 2 Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car. Jeff Bezos didn't invent books or the internet.
They got lucky. That's what happened.
Fuckers.

Speaker 2 Okay, maybe Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea for social media, but it wasn't a particularly good idea. You see what it's done? Nothing.
Nothing for nobody. Except make Brian angry about Grant Cardone.

Speaker 2 Fuck you.

Speaker 2 The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the Commercial Break.
I'm Brian Greene. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris Joy.
Only best to you, Chris. And best to you, Brian.

Speaker 2 Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 2 Yes, I love that sound. Breaking news.

Speaker 2 The Firefest scam continues, and I couldn't be

Speaker 2 more puffed up about it. I am fluffed this morning.
I gotta rock harder.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, the saga continues. Chrissy alerted me.

Speaker 2 I can't believe I didn't get this on my notifications as I'm paying close attention to the Firefest, too, as it falls all apart in so many different ways.

Speaker 2 But Billy has found yet another dipshit to hang on to his ideas as he has sold the Fire Fest IP, whatever that means. I know.

Speaker 2 whatever that means I don't even how could what what is the fire fest IP a literal like flame that someone drew on fiverr the name fire spelled weirdly Fieray

Speaker 2 the Fi-Ray fest has sold to a guy named Daniel Rausch Roush Rousch or Craig Craig Krausch or something

Speaker 2 and the guy Chris Hansen from

Speaker 2 to catch a predator started a true crime streaming channel, streaming service that is essentially an app that you can get anyone in the United States of America that knows anything about applications to build you, probably for a song and a dance, like $100.

Speaker 2 I mean, these things, they come out of the box now. You come out of the box, you connect it with the content,

Speaker 2 people download it, and then you just...

Speaker 2 This is like SimCol FM. SimCole FM bought a program.
At the time, that was pretty expensive. It was like $4,500.

Speaker 2 We bought a program, we loaded it with all this music and content that we had created, and then it would just run on a schedule.

Speaker 2 We'd put it on a schedule, it would run on a server out there in the universe, and people would connect to it and they'd hook up. It's very simple technology, comparatively speaking, in 2025.

Speaker 2 So they have essentially gotten some developer in Bangladesh to build them a streaming application that's True Crime Network,

Speaker 2 where they run Chris Hansen's new To Catch a Predator, which is the old To Catch a Predator, just without the professional cameras or a major network.

Speaker 2 And you paid $3.99 a month for it. And they've bought Billy's IP, and they are starting a brand new streaming music service called Fi-Ray.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 for $3.99

Speaker 2 in the worst economy in almost 30 years.

Speaker 5 Yeah, just add another streaming service.

Speaker 2 You'll have the ability to see music on demand. And then you'll also have the ability.

Speaker 2 No one's done that before. Spotify, Pandora.
What was that title that Jay-Z was involved in? Puffy and Jay-Z. It's still going on.
Yeah, it's still going on.

Speaker 2 And then, but the

Speaker 2 amazing part about this is, and this is where, really, where I think this kind of breaks the mold, the part where I get interested in what a leap forward in technology Billy and his partners have created, you'll have the ability to upvote or downvote the music.

Speaker 2 Putting the upvote, if you upvote enough, then that music will be showcased more. It's called analytics.

Speaker 2 It's like Instagram. Who bam, just much worse

Speaker 2 without all the actual content.

Speaker 5 Whoa, am is this like MTV's TRL?

Speaker 2 This is TRL. Yes, in app form.
No 1-800 number to call here. You just, no texting.

Speaker 2 No data rates may apply. This is just $3.99 a month.
You get the privilege of putting that right in Billy's pocket. For what reason, I don't know.

Speaker 2 And I can promise you that what they will do is they will junk up that application by getting a bunch of bots to download it to make it look like there's millions of people on it.

Speaker 2 This is done pretty often in the app world, in case you didn't know, in all the worlds of streaming and everything, is that you get...

Speaker 2 a bunch of bots to essentially attack the app, to pull it down, to use it. Even Facebook and Instagram have have both been accused by insiders of doing this.
And I don't doubt it for one second.

Speaker 2 Clubhouse,

Speaker 2 all these places, they get fake users and then they open up the accounts and then they get bots to then transact on those accounts to make it look like there's engagement.

Speaker 2 And then you get some larger company to come in and buy it. And what happens is the larger company realizes there was no traffic in the first place.
Correct.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we just took a $300 million bath, but they never say anything about it because they don't want to look like idiots to their investors. So this happens all the time.

Speaker 2 Very rarely do you, very rarely are you the commercial break level success where over 15 people are actually downloading you at the same time. This is like, this is pretty well-worn territory.

Speaker 2 It's NFT level scamming is what this is. And what surprised me, quite frankly, is that Billy hasn't had his own NFT.
Why Firefest 2 wasn't transacted on the blockchain?

Speaker 2 He really missed an opportunity to scam a lot more money out of people by not making this into an NFT. Bitcoin.
Bitcoin.

Speaker 2 And the NFTs are, they're just, they're on fire now. They're seeing their way back into our consciousness.
I saw over 12 transactions happened yesterday on OpenSea, the NFT open marketplace.

Speaker 2 I went and looked at NFTs. You did after we were talking about it.
Yeah, after we were talking about it.

Speaker 2 I said, okay, I got, you know, and I was really, I was thinking about Firefest, and I'm like, why didn't they get into the NFT game?

Speaker 2 Maybe even they know that the NFT game, maybe even Billy understands that the NFT game is too scammy for him.

Speaker 2 And I went and looked, and there are transactions that are happening on that blockchain, mostly around baseball cards and Pokemon cards.

Speaker 5 So I guess the new thing to do is collectible.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you sell.

Speaker 5 It was always a collectible.

Speaker 2 It was always a collectible. Now you just pay extra because you're using the blockchain to transact it.

Speaker 2 But there's a company out there who's doing, it seems like it's doing pretty well transacting really like rare baseball cards and Pokemon cards on the blockchain.

Speaker 2 And then I guess you get to take, I would hope that you get to take physical hold of it. So essentially, when you think about it, all NFTs have become is another PayPal.
That's it. That's all it is.

Speaker 2 It's just another way to send money from one person to another with maybe a little more privacy, but not really privacy.

Speaker 2 And all of those NFTs, like board apes and stuff like that, they're just not transacting at any volume. They're still expensive, but they're not transacting at any volume.

Speaker 2 I saw one board ape out there for like $63,000 US dollars. Wow.
And there's a, like, you can bid on stuff.

Speaker 2 And so there are people that are bidding well below that, like in the 30s and 40s of thousands of dollars. Those things were transacting at millions.
And then what do you do once you have it?

Speaker 5 Do you just show people? Like, like a piece of art on the wall instead, you're just showing it on your phone.

Speaker 2 Showing it on your phone. Yeah, you show it on your phone.
Look at me. I got a drawing of a monkey on my phone.
But then that can get you into certain exclusive parties and places.

Speaker 2 And there's like a board ape. They're actually a board ape yacht club, I believe.
I think there's actually a place where you can go. A board ape cruise? Yeah, a board ape cruise.
Why not?

Speaker 2 I'd like to see that cruise.

Speaker 2 Deodorant, please.

Speaker 2 Nah, if you're into NFTs, you already got enough trouble. I don't want to beat up on you.
You already lost enough money. I don't want to beat up on you.
I did see a story

Speaker 2 on Instagram. And I don't know if it's true or not, but it makes for interesting conversation about a guy in his late 20s who 12 years ago, so he was a teenager,

Speaker 2 bought Bitcoin and forgot about the Bitcoin. How anybody would forget that they bought Bitcoin in 2025, I don't know.

Speaker 2 So, this is what makes me think, I don't know if this story is true, but he bought like 387 Bitcoin back then. And now he just opened up his wallet over the last couple of days.

Speaker 2 So, if you bought 387,000 Bitcoin, you'd be a millionaire a couple of times over now. And you probably bought it for,

Speaker 2 I don't know, $600.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 much less than that, $600.

Speaker 2 Actually, we have a friend, we have a family friend. I think I've spoken about this before, who was an absolute degenerate.

Speaker 2 I mean, an absolute degenerate from the moment that we met him, but we liked him because we were degenerates too. So, all the degenerates kind of hung out with each other.

Speaker 2 But he was like even more degenerate-y, if you know what I mean. He was like a couple levels below, Like even deodorant please would be the right way to put it.
Like he was just one of those kids.

Speaker 2 And I don't think his parents cared about him all that much. So we always kind of felt for him.

Speaker 2 It was like a special place in our heart, but you never got that close to him because you didn't know exactly what he was up to. Right.

Speaker 2 He made millions and millions and millions of dollars on Bitcoin. He got in on early.
He thought this was the best thing in the world. He kept telling people around.

Speaker 2 Now, I didn't know him at this time,

Speaker 2 but one of my brothers did.

Speaker 2 And he kept telling everybody, you got to buy into this Bitcoin, it's going to be huge, it's going to be huge, and everybody ignored him because he was a degenerate of epic proportions.

Speaker 2 He was like a class A degenerate. Yeah, he was the kind of guy, what does this guy know? Yeah, what does this guy know?

Speaker 2 He's probably got bodies in the back of his, you know, buried somewhere in his house. Like, what's going on with this guy? Why, what's Bitcoin? What's that? Who cares?

Speaker 2 And he made millions and millions and millions of dollars, multiple houses around the world, living high on the hog in Northern California right now, has like a started a weed business, like a legal weed business he was in the illegal weed business and then he went legal with a weed business and he just does that for fun and he is retired forever that and he is 10 years younger than i am and so yeah

Speaker 2 so it can happen it can happen it just doesn't happen to me i have i don't know where i fell off the turnip truck But if an investment looks good to me, you should run away from it.

Speaker 2 If Brian says, here's a business opportunity I think is really going to work out, you should probably go the opposite direction and you too will be a millionaire.

Speaker 5 Buy high, sell low, philosophy.

Speaker 2 Buy high, sell low. Look at this piece of real estate.
Everything else around it is selling for $100,000. This one's selling for a million.
There must be something special about that property.

Speaker 2 Yep, it's got a stream in the back. And there's water, so you can't put a found, there's water under the ground, so you can't put a foundation there.

Speaker 2 So you got to spend an extra $300,000 to put poles in the ground. And oops, let's hire the cheap company company because they're really good at what they do.
And now those poles broke.

Speaker 2 So let's do it again.

Speaker 2 It's going to sell for $6 million. And the real estate agent says $600,000.
And he said, meet you in the middle. And she says, $600,000.

Speaker 2 And you say, okay, $600,000. Let's be optimistic.
We'll only lose a million dollars on this. And then she says, best and final offer, $326,000.

Speaker 2 And then you say, get rid of that real estate agent. So the next real estate agent comes in.
He says, yeah, we'll sell it for $8 million.

Speaker 2 Best and final, $237,000 from the same guy who offered you $326,000. Yep, I guess we'll have to take that.

Speaker 2 That's how Brian's real.

Speaker 2 Crash Course in real estate. Yeah, we're just talking about how real estate is like the

Speaker 2 if you think NFTs is the scammiest business out there. Try real estate for a living.

Speaker 2 That's, I mean, not, there are certainly lots of well-heeled developers and people in real estate that do very well and they build homes for people and people seem happy about it.

Speaker 2 But it's just like such a tough

Speaker 2 people seem happy about it. But is anybody really happy about having $500, $600, a million dollars in debt to the bank? I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 Anyway, whatever.

Speaker 2 It's just like the biggest scam ever on earth that let's take something that is really just part of Earth and then let's put a value on it and then we'll give it to the bank and then they can lend, then they can lean on it so they have your balls in a sack for the rest of your life.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's just, and then the, and then every step of the way, everyone's getting everybody else with a bunch of money, except for Brian.

Speaker 2 Except for Brian.

Speaker 5 You know, you should have become a coach.

Speaker 2 I should have become a coach. I should have.
But even, even I knew that was like where the real scammy people go.

Speaker 2 You know, I was listening to one of the biggest con artists in the game, my opinion, Grant Cardone. Did you know Grant Cardone is? I've heard, yeah.
So he's been around for a while.

Speaker 2 He's been around for a very long time.

Speaker 2 10x. Anybody who's heard of Grant Cardone will hear 10x.
I 10x every, 10x, not retag. Oh, 10x, not retag.

Speaker 2 What does that mean? Yeah, 10x. So let me tell you a little story about Grant Cardone.
Now, I don't know Grant personally. I was in a few clubhouse rooms with him.

Speaker 2 I talked with him briefly for a couple of minutes, but I've never really been on board with Grant Cardone. And there's a lot of people.
who have sued Grant Cardone.

Speaker 2 I don't know all the ins and outs of that. I'm not claiming I ever had any interaction with Grant Cardone.

Speaker 2 So this this is legally, I'm not claiming anything about Grant Cardone because he is litigious. And so he's not listening to my show, but I just, Grant Cardone is really like a sketchy son of a bitch.

Speaker 2 And it's been known. It's widely understood in the real estate business that he is.
That's just the way that it is.

Speaker 2 How he got there, I don't know. I'm not making any of those claims.
But I knew a guy when I first met when I got in the real estate business.

Speaker 2 And this guy was one of those dudes who he looked very presentable and he appeared to be very smart.

Speaker 2 That's the first step to scamming everybody is you have to appear presentable and then you have to, you know, then you have to talk the talk.

Speaker 2 And so I remember sitting down with my partner at the time. We're brand newbies in the real estate business, but here's the thing about the real estate business.

Speaker 2 Everybody who takes a weekend course then thinks they're experts on the business. So all the newbies come in with the attitude that we are,

Speaker 2 we have been doing this for like 50 years.

Speaker 2 We don't know nothing but you have to go in looking like you know something so here we are in these suits and ties sitting in a patio next to the chattahoochee river it's july i'm sweating my potatoes off and there's this guy across and he's giving us a 15-page powerpoint presentation on an apartment complex mixed use that he's going to build somewhere north of atlanta it's only going to cost 385 million dollars but and he's never personally been involved in a 385 million dollar project but he knows all the pieces of the puzzle he knows all the players.

Speaker 2 He's got the money raised, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 2 This guy goes off and instantaneously, even though I've taken a weekend real estate course and I know better than anybody else, in the back of my mind, I know that I don't really know anything, but I know that this is bullshit.

Speaker 2 How does this guy have $385 million raised? And then why is he, all he needs is a million dollars so he can get the permits and then it all comes into play, right? That's it.

Speaker 2 That's what every scammer ever said. All I need is that one piece of the puzzle and then it all comes rolling.
It's like a, it's basically a Nigerian Oriole scam. Yes.

Speaker 2 If I could just borrow $50,000, I could get $100 million out of Nigeria.

Speaker 2 I'll give you, I'll give it back.

Speaker 5 You'll make 10 times.

Speaker 2 I'll give you 80% of my $100 million if I could just borrow $7 on an Apple gift card that you buy at Walmart. Don't tell your friends.

Speaker 2 It's basically how it goes.

Speaker 2 So this guy, whose name is also Brian.

Speaker 2 So this guy, he kind of travels around the circle of real estate people we know, and he tries to get, you know, everybody investing in all of these cockamame-y things that he claims he's doing.

Speaker 2 And everybody with any good sense understands that this is, this is just not true.

Speaker 2 It's way too good to be true. He doesn't have $385 million.
I don't know anybody with, and if he does have $385 million, why is he having trouble raising $50,000? It just doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 So,

Speaker 2 but he travels in this like real estate circle of human beings. He looks good and he talks good.
He looks good. He He talks good.
He's always, he's always with a good-looking girl. He's shaking hands.

Speaker 2 He's kissing babies. So, but pretty soon the whispers start and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then pretty soon, like, people in the business are looking for him because he owes them money.

Speaker 2 And like, you know, hey, have you seen this guy? I got to talk to him. He owes me money, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, no, I really don't know.

Speaker 2 I don't know because I never loaned him any money. So I didn't keep tabs on the guy, but whatever.

Speaker 2 A year later, he pops up on Instagram and he's making these and Facebook and he's making these videos from a multi-million dollar mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida. And I mean, he's,

Speaker 2 here's my new house. It's a club.
We're turning it into a club for $10,000 a month. You can be part of my club.
I just bought this beautiful property, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 2 Everybody is like, well, holy shit. He did it.
He figured out a way to actually do something. This beautiful property in West Palm Beach, Florida, multi-million dollar spread right on the beach.

Speaker 5 If it's being shown on Instagram, it has to be true.

Speaker 2 Right. Well, he's doing this for like months.
He's making these videos until in the comments section, people start saying that he is not actually, he doesn't actually own the house.

Speaker 2 He rented it on Airbnb, and the owners can't get him out. It's like people are like posting, you need to leave the house.
You know, this is these poor people's house.

Speaker 2 They're trying, they're not poor people.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's squatting inside of the Airbnb. But he's like, you know, responding, this is my house.
It's a misunderstanding, blah, blah, blah. It's like this whole fight.
It's a misunderstanding. Okay.

Speaker 2 All right. So it's clearly he's scammed somebody and he's getting caught and blah, blah, blah.
Eventually he gets evicted from the house. Everybody learns this.

Speaker 2 Everybody in the circle that we run in learns that he gets evicted from this house.

Speaker 2 In 2020, I think, and like right in the pandemic,

Speaker 2 so he goes away for two years. And then all of a sudden, right when we start the show, all of a sudden, he pops up again after no one hears from him for years.
We thought he might be in jail.

Speaker 2 We didn't know. Yeah, yeah, after no one hears from him for years, all of a sudden he pops up.
He is part of Grant Cardone's brand new streaming television service, 10X.

Speaker 2 Streaming television service, just like Firefest, just like Ferrari Fest.

Speaker 2 It's this shitty website that Grant Cardone has where 24 hours a day, scammy real estate guys are teaching scammy real estate techniques for 1995. For 1995 plus 1995, shipping and handling.

Speaker 2 You two can scam your grandma on to the last $15,000 for $1995 plus $1995 shipping and handling. Brian from Atlanta Real Estate Infamy.

Speaker 2 We'll teach you how to squat in an Airbnb, make it so look like it's yours. This guy pops up on Grant Cardone's website, giving like a daily course

Speaker 2 on what to do in real estate. Chrissy, one day, If I didn't think Grant was so fucking litigious, I would show you some of these videos, which still live on that website to this day.

Speaker 2 At least last time I checked a couple of of months ago, still live on. I have never heard such mumbo jumbo come out of anybody's mouth in my entire life.
It is absolute horse hockey.

Speaker 2 It is clear that he knows nothing about this. And these are the type of people that Grant Cardone surrounds himself with.
This Grant Cardone guy is a real fucking lug nut, a real fucking lug nut.

Speaker 2 And he's on one of those business channels the other day. They're talking about tariffs, which are just killing everybody in the world, right?

Speaker 2 They're going to kill the economy worldwide. And they're already doing so, actually.

Speaker 2 And actually, as we're recording this right now, it seems like Donald Trump has all of a sudden, he's given up on the tariffs. No more tariffs.
Don't worry about it. No more tariffs.

Speaker 2 Because he knows that he's tanking the economy. And now he's getting nervous.
People are privately biting his ear and saying, You, this isn't about high prices. This is about empty shelves.

Speaker 2 And people are going to go bananas. You're going to cause chaos.
And so all of a sudden, yesterday he said, no, no more tariffs. No, bad.
Donald Trump, good.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 5 I can't even keep up with it all. I mean, I briefly do, but

Speaker 2 listen to this. So Grant Cardone is on one of these business channels and he says,

Speaker 2 all you people out there, all you real estate guys, all you brokers, all you small business, big business people that are complaining about tariffs, you need to shut up and sit down.

Speaker 2 This isn't about you. This is about Donald Trump taking control of the situation.
It's like, oh, okay, this isn't about us. This is about everybody.

Speaker 2 It just goes to show that Grant Cardone knows shit from Shinola about business, and yet he continues to do it again.

Speaker 2 Him, Billy McFarlane, Stephen Rausch, and now Craig Rausch, Bob Jousch, whatever his name is, and now Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC, all in the same category of fucking lug nuts that get lifted up into the stream of consciousness as business gurus when the truth is.

Speaker 2 Experts. Experts.
When the truth is, no one's really an expert on anything. No one really knows shit about anything.

Speaker 2 We're all stumbling through life, blind as a fucking bat, hoping that we get a goddamn nut like a squirrel in a tree. And if we do, we are lucky.
Lucky.

Speaker 2 And we should consider ourselves so, and we should shut up, sit down, and be nice to the people around us.

Speaker 2 Amen. Because luck.

Speaker 2 Fortune does not fortune the brave or whatever the fuck you say. Fortune favors the bold.
Fuck you. It's luck.
And luck is a roll of the dice.

Speaker 2 It's not because you're smarter than the rest of the people around you. Likely you're dumber.
The truth is, you just blindly walked into a goddamn nut.

Speaker 2 So sit down and shut up.

Speaker 2 No one wants to hear it.

Speaker 2 Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car.

Speaker 2 Jeff Bezos didn't invent books or the internet. They got lucky.
That's what happened. Fuckers.

Speaker 2 Okay, maybe Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea for social media, but it wasn't a particularly good idea. You see what it's done? Nothing.
Nothing for nobody except make Brian angry about Grant Cardone.

Speaker 2 Fuck you.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 5 Let that out of the system.

Speaker 2 With that, let's take a break. And when we get back, we're going to go completely the opposite direction.

Speaker 1 Rula makes therapy accessible and affordable by partnering with over 100 insurance plans. The average copay is around $15 per session, and depending on your benefits, it could even be less.

Speaker 1 You deserve mental health care that works with you, not against your budget.

Speaker 2 Sorry about that. I took my blood pressure medication and now I feel better.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 I get so worked up that all these idiots just fall upward all the time.

Speaker 5 I know, and you probably see more of it.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 5 Because you were in the business.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 I've seen a lot of it personally, and then I see a lot of it just going on, just people just falling upwards, complete idiots and scam artists and con artists, and they just keep falling upward into more and more money and more and more fame and more and more riches.

Speaker 2 And, you know, I guess that's the world we live in in 2025. But again,

Speaker 2 I think it's really more about luck than it is about expertise.

Speaker 2 Because if you look around at some of these billionaires and millionaires and people who have just like kind of come into money, it's like that guy, that degenerate that we knew.

Speaker 2 Yes, he had some forethought to look into Bitcoin and say this could be something down the line.

Speaker 2 But do you think he really knew when he saw it at that moment that Bitcoin is going to be worth $100,000? Of course not. He's a degenerate.

Speaker 2 He couldn't, he didn't even, couldn't even, high on acid, decided that it was good. All right, so temptations.

Speaker 2 I followed this lady who had an interesting couple of reels one time, and she's a sex therapist and sex coach. Okay.
And maybe someday we'll get her on.

Speaker 2 But her most recent reel, or the most recent reel that got served to me,

Speaker 2 she was on a cruise ship. And the cruise ship, like the promenade, part of the promenade, which is that big galley area in the front of

Speaker 2 the cruise ship when you walk on, had been totally cleared out. And there were 48 beds with new linens put down.
on that promenade.

Speaker 2 And she was talking to one of the conciers.

Speaker 2 And this guy was a man from a different country. I would assume maybe the Philippines or something like that.
He had an accent, cute as a button. Dude was cute as a button.
And she was asking,

Speaker 2 you know, how do you like being the concierge of this whole setup? And he goes, yeah, it's fine with me.

Speaker 2 You know, and what do you think about being around a bunch of people who are having sex at the same time? And he said, hey, listen, it's just part of the job. It doesn't bother me one bit.

Speaker 2 I've seen it on TV. I've done it myself.
You know, I'm whatever. Cool.
You know, I'm just here to clean up and get you drinks. I guess.
And I was

Speaker 2 clean up. Clean up and get you drinks is what he said.
And I was shocked. I was like, wow.

Speaker 2 So, what this was was essentially a cruise where they had set up 40-plus beds in the same room so that people could fuck.

Speaker 2 And then you could have drinks, and someone would come clean up your tasty teeners when you were done, I guess. I don't know, towel you down.
Not sure how that works. But I got fast.

Speaker 5 Here's a cool lemon towel.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like one of those hot towels you get at the,

Speaker 2 what do you call them? The hibachi grills or the spa. Yeah, or the really nice plane flights, like when you go on first class and they bring you a hot towel.

Speaker 2 Here's one for your tea bags.

Speaker 2 And this just fascinated the shit out of me. Are there really cruises dedicated to just swing? Because you can't do this.

Speaker 2 Like, I'd be really upset if I went on Royal Caribbean and the promenade on Tuesday night, like on our sail away day,

Speaker 2 had a bunch of people

Speaker 2 just fucking, yeah, it wouldn't be the.

Speaker 2 I'm not saying I would be against it. I just wanted to be against it if my family was there also.

Speaker 5 Of course, yeah.

Speaker 2 So this clearly had to be.

Speaker 5 Well, it makes sense. I mean, there are these sex parties that people have at clubs and different things.

Speaker 2 In fact,

Speaker 5 you went to one time. I went to one time, not because you wanted to participate.

Speaker 2 Not because I wanted to participate, but because I was doing a concert next door. Yes.
And I

Speaker 2 Jamland Productions was putting on its weekly loss of money for the bar

Speaker 2 with its shitty jam bands

Speaker 2 and occasionally a DJ slipped in there.

Speaker 5 And then there's resorts that you can go to. So it makes sense there's a cruise.

Speaker 2 So Temptations Resort apparently is a swingers resort or a singles resort or whatever you want to call it, adults-only resort.

Speaker 2 And Temptations has started to put on cruises. They rent an entire cruise ship, just like Heather McMahon did, or the wrestling people do, or the bad 90s rock bands.
Smash Mouth used to have a cruise.

Speaker 2 And Jam Cruise is one that's been going on for a long time. That's very popular.
It sells out every year.

Speaker 2 And so these cruise ships are up for rent, and you can rent them for private occasions, just like you could rent restaurants for a private occasion if you had enough money or enough people to do it.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 so twice a year now, Temptations, apparently the resort, puts on a cruise where you go down on the Caribbean cruise. It's like a four-day sail away, four-day fuck away.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 2 You hoist a flag, you hoist your sails. Pineapple flag.
Yeah, you hoist your pineapple flag, and then you hoist your other flag, and you meet some other frisky folks, and you get down to it.

Speaker 2 And so I thought, well, okay, I want to know more about it. I found one or two.

Speaker 2 videos about it, but I understand these people that we're about to review, they also do vlogs from the actual cruise,

Speaker 2 but they don't show any of the juicy parts because, of course, they can't show any of the juicy parts. There's privacy involved and all that other stuff.

Speaker 2 But I thought, why don't we do an after-cruise review and let's hear what's going on there on the cruise ship? I'd love to. Okay, all right.
So, this is what we're about to listen to. Here we go: two

Speaker 2 young-looking, nice-looking couple sitting in front of their couch, typical vlog type shit.

Speaker 2 Typical stuff.

Speaker 12 Is all about temptation cruise versus Temptation Resort.

Speaker 2 Oh, before we start, she says, let's make sure that we get

Speaker 2 merch. Lifestyle merch.
We got you. All right.
Okay.

Speaker 2 We're going to fast forward through their commercial

Speaker 2 questions about.

Speaker 2 By the way, we're going to have merch in the 20 on the 12 hours of TCB.

Speaker 12 Which one would be better for you? And we're going to be talking about the differences between both because they are both very fun, but very, very different.

Speaker 12 If our content helps you out at all and you plan on going to Temptation Cruise or Temptation Resort sometime in the future we would greatly appreciate if you would use our links to book your vacation right here.

Speaker 5 May I mention that the link is the number for ourplay.com slash travel travel.

Speaker 2 We'll give them a shout out for our play.com slash travel in case you're into that kind of thing.

Speaker 12 For play.com slash travel for more information about all the different types of resorts and cruises that there are and it doesn't cost you anything extra but it helps us out a ton and we would greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 4 so if you do book the cruise specifically we do go on all of those and so for all of those we do a few little extra activities we do a group dinner we do a group meet and greet so everyone kind of gets to know everybody we also have a group online so you can kind of get to know people before you actually go on the trip and so there's a few extra little things like that that we do we also give out some little you can target your partner yeah well you can yeah we have a

Speaker 2 we have a A pre-party where we oil each other down. A fluffing party, if you will.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 And stuff that are personalized. And so if you guys are going to the cruise, cruise, you book through us.

Speaker 4 Or if you're going really to the resort at all, if you book through our links, it just helps to support us and be able to continue to make content like this.

Speaker 4 So we really appreciate it if you consider it. And we also want to say that we are going to try to compare these.
And it's not going to be the most extreme deep dive into both.

Speaker 4 We do have extreme deep dives into the cruises and the resorts. No pun Nintendo resorts.
And so we'll have those videos linked below.

Speaker 4 So after you finish this one, if you want to get even more details about maybe some of the night parties or more details about this, make sure to go watch those specific videos because that will help you learn even more.

Speaker 4 So the first thing we want to announce.

Speaker 2 Well, that was six minutes of commercials. Okay, are we done now? First of all, second of all, turn off your air conditioner and get a microphone.
Please. So loud in there.

Speaker 4 Outside, we're really excited about that. We that it's recently kind of

Speaker 5 kind of weird music.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 and lose the music bed. I know I've been accused of playing music beds too much too, but I think I don't wouldn't have it running the entire video.

Speaker 4 Temptation Cruise has always just been February. And starting in 2025, it is going to be in February and in November.

Speaker 2 So you get double penetration that's right so there's going to be two different sailings which can help a lot of people out because i know everything you know sometimes people can only know during certain times of the year nothing like a pre-thanksgiving nothing like a pre-thanksgiving dick down

Speaker 2 flushing

Speaker 2 oh man can you imagine this guy says sometimes people have trouble taking time off work if you're into this kind of thing

Speaker 2 you're taking

Speaker 2 yeah yeah you probably own your own business or you don't care you're quitting your job Yes.

Speaker 4 So we want to say that first. So if you were not aware, so we will be on that one as well.
So there's going to be a February and a November sailing now.

Speaker 4 And so yes, we have not been on that one, but we have talked to them and it should have a very similar feel to the February one.

Speaker 4 And so we're really looking forward to the fact that there's going to be two Temptation Cruises every single year.

Speaker 2 First we're going to go. I'm looking forward to getting pounded.

Speaker 2 By the way, double earrings. I like you guy.
You're going brave with the double earrings and the double necklace. And double necklace.

Speaker 5 Double chains.

Speaker 12 To talk about the demographic. On the cruise, cruise, it's more about 40 to 50 with a skew on each side.
You'll see younger people as well, and you'll see people who are older as well.

Speaker 2 Well, that is very good information.

Speaker 2 Did you get, did you pick up on that? Yes. It's 40 to 50 with a skew on each side.

Speaker 2 As opposed to what?

Speaker 2 As opposed to what?

Speaker 12 And then at the resort, it's a little bit more like 35 to 40 fat. So it does skew a little bit younger at the resort.

Speaker 4 Tentition as a whole is not technically branded as a swinger resort or a swinger cruise. It is more an adult spring break.

Speaker 2 One thing we have noticed though is adult spring break with beds in the promenade and a guy who fluffs you? A guy who cleans up? Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 From the cruises, we feel like there is a larger population of swingers or people in the lifestyle on these cruises where the resort seems to be more of a mix.

Speaker 4 While yes, at the resort, there is a lot of people who are swingers. We've also noticed a lot of people that are just going there for an adult-friendly vacation.

Speaker 2 We met people. You got to be really into wanting to be around just adults.

Speaker 5 Not actually participate in everything, but just be around it.

Speaker 2 I think horny guys in their 30s who want to see a lot of tits probably is what that is. That's just my guess.
I don't know. I'm not trying to like brand everybody.

Speaker 2 Listen, and by the way, I am have nothing against the swinger community. God bless you.
Have fun. Do your thing.
But it's just a little funny to me.

Speaker 2 I think if you're going to temptations, you're pretty open to a lot of stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 4 You know, there last time that said they looked up kid-free resorts, and that's where they ended up.

Speaker 2 We also saw kid-free results.

Speaker 5 Well, I mean, that's a big difference. I'm going to have to say, I just was at an adults-only or a kid-free resort, and it certainly was not

Speaker 2 swinging. When you look up kid-friendly resort or kid-free resort, and temptations is the name of the resort,

Speaker 2 it's not sandals. It's a little more recent.
Sandals is kid-free. Temptations is

Speaker 2 full of dicks. It's dick plus.
It's either kid-free or dick plus. You figure out which one you want to go to.

Speaker 4 A lot of bachelor-bacherette type groups there. And so you will notice that there's a lot more singles at the resort.
And there's also just a lot more people that are not.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure.

Speaker 5 Bachelor parties. I mean, I think I might be pissed.

Speaker 2 I've got an idea.

Speaker 5 You're going to a swinger resort for your bachelor party. And I'm getting ready to marry you.

Speaker 2 I mean, listen, one last hurrah, as they say, right, Chrissy? Yeah.

Speaker 5 Forget about the strip clubs.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I can only imagine

Speaker 2 what kind of bachelor bachelorette parties are there.

Speaker 4 Probably just want an adult-friendly vacation. Whereas the cruise, this happens too.

Speaker 4 But a lot of the people that we feel like we do interact with on the cruise are in the swinging lifestyle, or at least are aware of the swinging lifestyle.

Speaker 2 Who's not aware of the swinging lifestyle, dude? Okay, I get it. You're not like, this isn't your full-time job to do, to do this kind of stuff, but

Speaker 4 you're somewhat, you know, maybe involved in some sort of aspect.

Speaker 12 The cruise definitely feels more like a lot of couples, where the resort is, again, like he said, more of a mix. You're not going to see bachelor-bachelette parties on the cruise.

Speaker 12 The cruise, there's fewer singles, like you won't see that many singles, but at the resort, you'll see that there's quite a few.

Speaker 12 However, if you are going to temptational resort when there is a lifestyle takeover, there are some that are more geared towards people in the lifestyle takeover.

Speaker 2 The lifestyle takeover. Lifestyle takeover.
Hashtag 2025.

Speaker 2 Is this the jam cruise?

Speaker 2 Why is your dick out, dude? I came to see Smash Mouth, and all I'm seeing is a bunch of squishy penises. Where's Smash Mouth?

Speaker 2 Third eye blind.

Speaker 2 I was told that is a third eye. That is a third eye.
I do see that. I see how I got confused on this one.

Speaker 12 Style, those ones will be all people who are in the lifestyle and then say.

Speaker 2 33 penis at Temptations Resort. I was just thinking the maybe i can get the guys back together 33 willy although they've all sworn me off i can't even get a returned phone call anymore really

Speaker 2 you wonder why

Speaker 12 those wouldn't be allowed in at that time since they are taking over the entire resort so length when it comes to the cruises length let's talk about

Speaker 2 how much length are you well we're going right into it look on the bottom

Speaker 2 it says length the very bottom of the screen in tiny print it says length the cruises are five nights.

Speaker 4 It's pretty set and standard. That's one good thing about the resorts.
If you like to maybe go for a little weekend, you can go for two or three days.

Speaker 4 Now, these places do normally have a minimum of two-night stay.

Speaker 4 So, usually it's at least two nights, but if you wanted to be there for a week or two weeks, I guess however long you wanted to be there, you can be there that long.

Speaker 4 And so, that's a good thing to note. One thing that we take into consideration with this is when you go on a cruise, you get on with everybody at the same time.

Speaker 4 You get off with everybody at the same time. And so, you have a chance to make these

Speaker 2 usually how it works. You're all picking up people along the way.
I wonder if this is more of a review.

Speaker 2 It's less of a review and more of a aliens came down to Earth and wanted to know what a cruise is.

Speaker 2 So they're letting them know.

Speaker 4 Connections and you know people are going to be there for that entire duration.

Speaker 2 Whereas at the resort.

Speaker 5 Aka, you're stuck.

Speaker 2 AKA, you're stuck. And so is he.
Oh no.

Speaker 2 All the concierge. Bruce.
Oh, Bruce.

Speaker 4 You meet someone you really love the first night you get there, and they're going home the next day.

Speaker 4 So you're going to see more of a turnover at the resorts because people are constantly coming in and out.

Speaker 2 Turnover is the key word.

Speaker 2 I got turned over a couple of times, Chrissy. Oh, stop it.

Speaker 2 You meet someone and they leave the next day. I'm pretty sure if you go to one of these places, you're not looking for a long-term relationship.

Speaker 2 If someone leaves the next day, you're just assuming that's part of the game, right?

Speaker 4 Something else to take into consideration.

Speaker 2 We got to do a podcast, I think.

Speaker 2 You know, we'd have a lot of ideas about where to go, like, you know, the Juggalos or Jazz Fest or Coachella or whatever. Or Ride in a Waymo.
What's that? Or Ride in Omayamo. Arid in a Waymo.

Speaker 2 That's right. Or the Braves Stadium, which will never let us in, but we can just pretend like we're official.

Speaker 2 But I think really where the rubber meets the road for us, where the juice, where the juice is worth the squeeze, so to speak, would be the Temptations Cruise. Not as participants,

Speaker 2 but as observers.

Speaker 5 Live from Temptation Cruise.

Speaker 2 Live from Temptation Cruise. And then take us to the resort.
Can you drop us off at the resort?

Speaker 2 I'm sure we'll be sick of the smell of semen by that point, but we can get on to the resort and give an actual review without all the details like on a cruise, you get on with everybody and you leave with everybody.

Speaker 4 Those kind of groupings and meeting people works better for you. And the weekends are definitely going to be the busiest at the resort.

Speaker 4 So especially Friday, Saturday are going to be the busiest days of the week.

Speaker 5 You know, it's.

Speaker 2 As are every resort yes okay so the next chapter is called size length

Speaker 2 you gotta be kidding me they named the chapter

Speaker 2 length and size oh on to the size temptation resort he's got a little smirk on his face he knows

Speaker 12 is much smaller than the cruise so there's about 430 rooms at the resort and so and not all of those are coupled rooms so you could say about what 800 or so people, 850 people, whereas on the cruise, it can be anywhere from about 2,500 people up to about 3,000 people.

Speaker 12 Wow.

Speaker 2 Jeez. That's a lot.
Wow. That's a lot of people looking to get hammered in more ways than one.

Speaker 12 Yeah, maybe 3,500. And that's just going to depend on whichever ship they are using to sail.

Speaker 2 Next time I'm going to Disney cruise, I'm going to look for a pineapple on the door.

Speaker 2 You know, a lot of people stick stickers on the door, Mickey stickers, Donald stickers, you know, princess stickers, whatever.

Speaker 2 I bet there's some cheeky motherfuckers out there who have like a little pineapple sticker, something

Speaker 2 even on a Disney cruise, yeah.

Speaker 12 That specific cruise. So, if you're looking for more people, more variety, the cruise is definitely a better option.

Speaker 4 But it is good to note that you said, yes, it's 800 people at the resort, but since you have turnover, you are going to meet more people,

Speaker 4 but there is a larger population of people on the cruises. So, we are now going to talk about how it's organized.

Speaker 2 One of the things

Speaker 2 they left the uh

Speaker 2 they couldn't find a good one for this. No, um, yeah, listen, uh, if if I'm into that kind of thing, I probably am feeling like a smaller group of people that I could get to know easier is better.

Speaker 2 3,500, 3,000 seems like a lot of people. It's very overwhelming.
Yeah, I'm overwhelmed with all the dicks coming in my direction.

Speaker 5 Yeah, also, it's a crapshoot because you don't know. Like, at least maybe at the resort, there is more turnover.

Speaker 2 There's more options. You've got more options.
If you don't like somebody on the crack,

Speaker 2 yeah. Plus,

Speaker 2 it's 40 to 50 with people on each side. Yeah, so you know

Speaker 4 things that is a distinct factor between these two is Temptation Resort does not have playrooms.

Speaker 4 If you're wanting to do, you know, spicy group activities, that is going to be in somebody's room, and that's really the only option for that. As far as the cruise goes, they do have playrooms aboard.

Speaker 4 And so if you're looking more...

Speaker 5 Geez. They have separate rooms from your room for with the playroom.

Speaker 2 Yes. Well, this is just like the sex club that I went to.
What's that?

Speaker 2 Yes. Yes, they have different rooms, and those rooms have different themes.

Speaker 2 Like when I went to the sex party, I told you there was a room with multiple mattresses in it, and it was just a lot of people getting dicked down, right?

Speaker 2 A lot of guy on girl action with some observers doing whatever they were doing. But then there was like a themed room with bondage, and then it was another themed room with toys.
Yes. Right.

Speaker 2 Now, here's what I'm wondering.

Speaker 2 Who can we have like some kind of alert system as to which cruise ships were used for this right before I decided to get on my regular cruise.

Speaker 2 Yes, again, like if you know the Oasis of the Seas, which is one of those huge Royal Caribbean ships that are very nice and have malls in them and you know, multiple floors of retail and shopping and restaurants and all that, I'm going to want to know ahead of time if there was if my restaurant was just used

Speaker 2 as a jizz factory. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it's a slip inside.
That's a slip inside.

Speaker 4 For a place that has playrooms, Temptation Cruise is definitely going to be a better option. So, the resort has a huge pool.
I mean, it is massive, and that is generally where people are hanging out.

Speaker 4 They have a party pool, which is normally where they're doing all the parties. They have the most loud kind of music there.

Speaker 2 I'm patron.

Speaker 5 Hold on, I'm wondering if they have the same

Speaker 5 alert system as Great Wolf Lodge does.

Speaker 2 The foreign objects. Oh, yeah, the yellow, yeah, yellow alert or brown alert, brown town, brown town, pool one, brown town, pool run.
Yeah, you you

Speaker 2 this is why I do not like hot tubs under any circumstances that have been used by anybody else, except for maybe a private hot tub at like a friend's house or something like that.

Speaker 2 But now it's got me thinking about the pools.

Speaker 2 I mean, come on. Like, I hope they, I just hope to God that there is some kind of procedure after these.
I don't mind the parties. Go have the parties, right?

Speaker 2 That's a, it sounds like a lot of fun for, if you're into that type of thing. Yeah, for sure.
Sounds like there's, there's not a lot of places where this can happen.

Speaker 2 Like, you don't go to a Ruby tuesdays on a tuesday and see a dick down room you just don't right also you just don't go to ruby tuesdays yeah you just don't go to i don't even think they exist anymore

Speaker 2 oh i got to tell you about mix but i'll tell you about that next episode okay um but you know it's like we just got to have some kind of procedure for delousing after this whole thing goes down gotta be because if there's a I hate pee I hate poop I really hate vomit but if there's something above that in my mind it's some other dude's jizz it's really my own jizz but then right above that is some other dude's jizz.

Speaker 2 Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 And all that stuff mixed together.

Speaker 2 We've all had a friend who's been at our house, and then you walk into the room and you're like, shit, it smells like jizz in here.

Speaker 2 You know, they were fucking, you know what I'm saying? Let's be adults about it.

Speaker 2 There is a distinct smell to sex, and you know it when you smell it, and it's not your own, and you know it when you smell it, and it is your own.

Speaker 2 So, if we're gonna have these like kind of lifestyle takeovers, can we also have like a cleaning party too? Like somebody goes

Speaker 2 extra deep.

Speaker 2 Extra deep clean pun intended. All right, let's take a break and we'll get back to more of this.
I don't know, telling us about how cruise ships work, I guess. How cruises and resorts work.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 5 Just be the

Speaker 2 All right, we're back with the Dick and Cruise. But real quick, I just wanted to mention that Danny Ricker is going to be, was on Chimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, so two days ago, essentially.

Speaker 2 So go watch that appearance. Danny was great.

Speaker 2 We got a lot of great feedback about that, maybe more feedback than we've had on most interviews on Danny Ricker, who is not the most famous guy we've ever had on the show.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think he would readily admit that too, but he wrote a book. It's called Wow, You Look Terrible.
It's available now on sale. Links in the show notes, all that.

Speaker 2 So I was telling Danny, congratulations on

Speaker 2 your upcoming appearance. This was a couple of days ago.
And he's going to be on the show with Ben Affleck, who obviously is one of the most famous people in the world.

Speaker 2 His new movie, The Accountant, too, is getting great reviews. And

Speaker 2 so I actually was one of the only human beings in history that saw the movie Surviving Christmas with Ben Affla. Oh, yes.
You probably don't even know. I do, actually.

Speaker 5 I saw it too.

Speaker 2 In the theater?

Speaker 5 Not in the theater, but this past Christmas, I was looking for things and I saw that.

Speaker 2 I couldn't finish it. I couldn't make it through the entire movie.
So I told Danny to tell Ben that he owes me $20 refund for Surviving Christmas.

Speaker 2 I shouldn't be hard to find because I was probably the only one who actually saw it in the movie.

Speaker 5 It's got a lot of good people in it as the thing, and that's why I thought I'd watch it.

Speaker 2 It was not good. No, it was not good.

Speaker 2 i think i think we left about 57 minutes 47 minutes into the movie and i haven't walked out of many movies but this one i just had to walk out of god bless you ben you've made a lot of my favorite movies

Speaker 2 like um

Speaker 2 well okay whatever i don't want to get a whole banana affiliate conversation we'll do that on we'll do that next week okay all right back to uh temptations cruises and resorts we're hearing a review so far they haven't reviewed much but okay we'll see we'll give it a few more minutes here resort they also have a quiet pool that is where people kind of go if you want to be a little bit more relaxed It's just a little walk over it's not far at all, but they kind of have both of those options Oh, I like a quiet pool

Speaker 2 If you accidentally got on this cruise and you need a break Yes

Speaker 4 for the people who don't scream the cruises Generally because it depends on what boat it's on has a couple main pools and there's normally one main pool party area and then there's some other hut I like how all this footage looks like it's hidden camera footage.

Speaker 2 They're showing little tiny clips of places where there's no other human being in sight and it looks literally like they hid a camera in their hat or something like it's that kind of footage

Speaker 2 probably because they have an absolutely no filming rule on the cruise and the and the resort i have i wonder if they have lifeguards at these pools

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 2 no running no running no jumping

Speaker 2 Tits are not a flotation device, sir.

Speaker 2 Spread around that.

Speaker 4 And then they also have a solarium generally. the solarium is the place where normally people will go to be a little bit more quiet.
It's not as loud, generally no music in there.

Speaker 4 So they both offer those things. And then I know I mentioned hot tubs a little bit.
The cruise has hot tubs on the pool deck, kind of by the party, as well as in the solarium.

Speaker 4 So you kind of have hot tubs in both areas.

Speaker 2 And then where does the fucking happen? That's what I want to know. You're giving a review about a cruise ship.
Who cares?

Speaker 4 And the resort has some hot tubs kind of above the pools. And then there's also a hot tub that's at one of the higher levels.

Speaker 2 They're telling us about the location of hot tubs. I'll realize when I get there, they give me a map.
It's okay. Or I have Google just like every other person does.

Speaker 2 Come on, dude, you got to give us the juicy stuff. Like, you know, if you're looking for rough sex, then, you know, the cruise is the better.

Speaker 2 Head to the, yeah, head to the dueling piano bar.

Speaker 2 You can get it from both.

Speaker 2 Double penetration at the dueling piano bar. Yes.

Speaker 4 That depending on what kind of ticket you have and what kind of room you're in, you're able to go up to that bigger hot tub. They're both pretty similar with the party type feel.

Speaker 2 Yeah, oh, wow. I didn't know you had to buy extra access.
What is this? Disney World? A lightning lane pass to get

Speaker 2 to the slip and slide party? That's weird.

Speaker 4 They both have main parties at the nighttime and they have kind of pool parties during the daytime. We'll get a little bit more into details about the parties later, but it's also.

Speaker 2 I don't know if I'm going to make it to later. You got to give us some more details here, bud.

Speaker 2 There's no details here.

Speaker 4 It's good to know that the resort is on the beach, so you're right there. You can just walk right off the resort and you're on a really

Speaker 2 resort.

Speaker 2 The beach resort's on the beach.

Speaker 2 There's a beach at the beach resort. Congratulations.
Oh, and there's yacht parking there.

Speaker 2 Can you imagine? You pull up, you're like yachting around the world and you pull up the temptations.

Speaker 2 Some seven-year-old dude with a half-heart meets you.

Speaker 4 Nice beach. Whereas the cruise.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's a pretty looking resort.

Speaker 4 You're more going, you're stopping at different ports, you're seeing more different places, but it's not necessarily always just on an exact beach.

Speaker 2 So, as far as area, we know what a cruise is to

Speaker 4 hang out during the day. It's gonna kind of vary, obviously, between both.
The resort, I would say, has less areas to hang out, but still has several areas.

Speaker 4 People are gonna hang out at the pool, you know, you can go to all the restaurants.

Speaker 2 You have

Speaker 4 the lobby, you have the hot tubs, and you have you know, know, little coffee bar type thing, the normal bars. So, there is definitely areas to hang out.

Speaker 4 The cruise is just a larger space, so there is going to be more areas to go around and kind of hang out during the daytime, but they both have plenty of options.

Speaker 4 So, if you wanted to hang out, just have a nice time in the day, and you don't want to party, party, you definitely have options.

Speaker 12 This question is asked a ton, and it's about the clothing optional aspect of okay.

Speaker 2 Now we're into the details we want to know. Let's go.
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 12 Each one: Resort is topless optional as well as the cruise. However, on the cruise in the solarium areas, they do have places where you can be completely nude.

Speaker 12 And of course, the cruise also has the playrooms where you could be nude in the playrooms. And the resort does not have that.

Speaker 2 The nude?

Speaker 5 The way that they portrayed the solarium earlier was a quiet place.

Speaker 2 It was a quiet place.

Speaker 5 But now it's nude.

Speaker 2 Yes. Well,

Speaker 2 if I'm getting naked, I'm also being quiet. Hoping no one notices.

Speaker 2 what's going on down below. If I'm taking off my clothes, everyone's shutting up.
They're all going, oh,

Speaker 2 oh,

Speaker 2 Let's

Speaker 2 go to the promenade.

Speaker 2 I think things have taken a turn for the worst, Barry.

Speaker 2 Get your towel, darling. We're going to the promenade.

Speaker 12 We do have more options for that clothing optional aspect on the cruise versus the resort. And you can only be topless optional at the pools, at the hot tubs, on the deck on the cruise.

Speaker 12 So it's not like you're walking throughout the hotel or throughout the entire cruise and a ton of people are topless.

Speaker 12 There are areas where you can be topless and all the other areas, you are not allowed to be topless.

Speaker 2 Why not? Why does it fucking matter?

Speaker 5 That was my exact question.

Speaker 2 Why does it matter? Okay, restaurants, buffets, I understand. Yes.
Okay. Even men and women, everybody, you want to have a shirt on so you don't get boob sweat, flop sweat and pants.

Speaker 2 You don't want to get nut sweat in the potato salad. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, God forbid. But if you're walking down the hallway.
at Temptations. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And you just got back from the pool where everyone was naked, half naked at least, why does it matter if there's a pair of tits walking down the thing? They're just tits. Let them fly.
Who cares?

Speaker 2 But I agree. When it comes to food, around food, sanitation.
But even at the bar, like if you're not serving any food and you're just at the bar, I don't care if someone's nude. Yeah.
Or nude.

Speaker 2 I'm going to tell you, the sex party that I went to, there was no part of the party where clothing was not. not optional.
Right. You know what I'm saying? Exactly.

Speaker 5 No, it just makes sense. Let it all be optional.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 12 And the resort do you have different theme nights every single night. The one one thing is at the resort, it's going to be the same theme nights every day of the week per week, if that makes sense.

Speaker 12 So usually throughout the entire year, those themes are going to stay the same, which makes sense because there's people coming in and going out throughout the entire year. Versus.

Speaker 2 This guy reminds me of our I.T. guy

Speaker 2 when we work together. Doesn't he? Yeah, he does.
He does. It's always the unassuming one.

Speaker 12 Cruise, since it only sails twice a year, they're able to be a little bit more creative with the the themes in that way. And so you have a bit more specific themes on the cruise.

Speaker 12 Where people are that famous.

Speaker 5 That's no sense to me.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 You only have five nights on the cruise. You have seven nights a week at the resort.

Speaker 2 So in just mathematically speaking, you're actually able to be more creative with the seven nights than the five nights. So it doesn't make much sense to me, but okay.

Speaker 5 So you're saying themes stayed the same each week, but then they change on the cruise, but that's only one week.

Speaker 2 It's only one week a year because you haven't even had well, they haven't even had the first November cruise yet. That only happens here in 2025, according to them.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, that mathematically doesn't make sense, but okay.

Speaker 12 Us up on theme more so on the cruise than they do at the resort.

Speaker 4 So, next, we're going to go into food. They are very different when it comes to food.
Now, the one thing that definitely is very different.

Speaker 2 I do care about my food.

Speaker 2 I got a carbload before I

Speaker 2 got a carbload before I carbload. You know what I'm saying, Chrissy?

Speaker 4 There is a buffet at both of these types of things. They generally have a late-night buffet for both, and there's a daytime, there's a breakfast buffet.

Speaker 4 So if you're wanting buffets, you're definitely going to be able to get it. I feel like at Temptation, they do a little bit more themed with their buffets, and so you do have your normal buffet.

Speaker 2 A themed buffet.

Speaker 2 What does that even mean? Oh, no, but first, he just said they're very different to a resort and a cruise based on the same thing. They both have the buffets.
They are the same.

Speaker 2 They're very different, but generally the same.

Speaker 4 Every single day that has your standard items, but they also kind of have a theme, whereas the cruises generally just have

Speaker 2 New Orleans style. Yeah, New Orleans, Mexican night,

Speaker 2 Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, edible underwear cuisine. Yes.

Speaker 4 Buffet with a large array of food every single day.

Speaker 2 Cruises are a bit more accommodating for dietary restrictions. However, there are options at both places if you do have restrictions.

Speaker 2 Okay. Okay.
Great.

Speaker 2 I'm lactose intolerant.

Speaker 4 So, the food is included at both of these because they are all inclusive.

Speaker 4 But, one thing to note is that on the cruises, you only have one main dining room generally that is included in the price of your ticket.

Speaker 4 Whereas at the resort, there is a lot of different restaurants that you can go to. On the cruise, you go to your sit-down dining room that's included.
It's more elevated type food.

Speaker 2 Do you dress up in like a tuck? Yeah, you dress up in a tux with japless pants and you walk in

Speaker 2 a little bow tie, shirtless shirtless with the bow tie and by the way he's saying the cruise has more elevated type food and then they are showing a hockey puck of a steak with one potato

Speaker 2 waxy green beans and old carrots

Speaker 4 elevated in what way like you're up on like actually geographically most amazing food in the world but we always really enjoy it it's really a fun time to go there but the resorts they have a lot of really fun options so they have you know an asian type restaurant they have a steak restaurant that has a show they have multiple different restaurants that are all included.

Speaker 4 So if you're there for three or four days, every single night you could go to a different restaurant, which we always feel like is really fun.

Speaker 5 That's done every single night on the cruise. It changes.

Speaker 12 Has a lot of different restaurants too, but they do just cost an additional extra charge. And also at the resort, since you're able to.

Speaker 2 This is like the worst review for

Speaker 2 the sexiest thing.

Speaker 2 You're reviewing a swingers club and a like adult sex cruise and an adult sex resort if you're doing that you have got to make it interesting so far we've heard about what a cruise is we already knew what a cruise was welcome to earth people know what cruises are all right i'm done with this you guys have bored me i'm sorry you've bored the commercial break that's hard to do because we need content

Speaker 2 It's okay. I'm sure you mean well.
I get it.

Speaker 4 I didn't really learn much.

Speaker 2 No, you should have planned this out a little bit better. You should have talked about the sex room.

Speaker 2 You should have talked about your own experiences. Like, hey, we went into the playroom.
We met this guy. He tickled my taint.
I felt really good about it.

Speaker 2 Then there was a couple other people whacking each other off in the corner. It was interesting, and that's the kind of thing you can expect.

Speaker 2 Or we played some sex games on the promenade on Tuesday night. That was a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 Hey. I got tied up in the Safari ropes when my...

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 Someone fell overboard

Speaker 2 with themselves on a balcony. I mean, something.
Like, you got to give us the juicy details. Don't tell us about what cruise dining is like.
We already know what cruise dining is like.

Speaker 2 Even people who haven't been on a cruise

Speaker 2 like me. Yes.

Speaker 2 The love boat was on for 17 seasons. We know everybody goes and eats at the same dining room every night.

Speaker 2 Okay, we got it. 10-4.
We've all been to an all-inclusive inclusive resort or heard about them.

Speaker 2 We know there are restaurants you eat at. Plenty of them.
That's how it works.

Speaker 2 Okay, well, you're going to have to sharpen up your travel reviews here guys if you're gonna grow that channel but god bless you i i'm certainly no knock on the lifestyle just a knock on general content

Speaker 2 says everybody who ever watched the commercial break

Speaker 2 hey guys you got to make it more interesting
