I was going to go on a 189 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: health kick. Instead of eating McDonald's twice a day, who 190 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: are we kidding? Four times a day? I was going 191 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: to start buying meat and cooking it on my stove 192 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: every single day. So I went to my local rafts 193 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: and I'm like, hey, what's on sale? Because I was, 194 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: you know, working in radio, not making a whole lot 195 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 3: of money. Here they said, we've got shark meat for 196 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: two dollars a pound. I said, I've never had shark meat. Now, 197 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 3: this is me before I met my wife, me who 198 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: didn't know how to cook. So I gave myself food 199 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: poisoning from the shark. The shark meat that I could 200 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: not eat, I left to fester in the kitchen and 201 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 3: my apartment smelled like rotting shark for a week. 202 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's a true story. 203 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 4: Leave or connected to the decomposing? 204 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: You know what?

If I lived in that area and 213 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: I thought at some point there would be a lawsuit 214 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: that would result because of all of this, you better 215 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: believe there would not be a photo graph of me 216 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: in public without wearing a mask any time I stepped 217 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: out of my house.

And 293 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: that was back in the old days in California, when 294 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: you could still smoke inside at places like bowling alleys. 295 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: And I would be put to bed at nine o'clock 296 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: and she would get home after I could tell when 297 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: she got home from the bowling alley without my bedroom 298 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: door opening, because I could smell the cigarette smoke on 299 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: her clothes. And she doesn't even smoke, oh my, but 300 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: just everyone in the bowling alley smoked, so every article 301 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: of clothing that she had on her smelled like a 302 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: mixture of a non smoking hotel room in Lauflin, Nevada 303 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: and Lucille Ball's lungs and I don't know if she 304 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: was able to wash it out or she just had 305 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: to throw the clothes away, but was so strong you 306 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: could smell it throughout the house. And we had a 307 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: four bedroom house and it worked its way through. What 308 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: do you think happens to their clothes in Boyle Heights 309 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: if you had to smell that twenty four to seven? 310 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's a burn everything situation. So the 311 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: people that are suffering in these neighborhoods, they don't just 312 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: need gas masks, they don't just need air purifiers in lysol. 313 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: They're also going to need a whole new wardrobe after 314 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: this thing is over. 315 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: But the idea of giving someone an air purifier when 316 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: you have that going on in the neighborhood, I mean, 317 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: that would be like the EMT showing up to Nicole 318 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: Brown Simpson's house and giving her a band aid. What's 319 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: that going to do? What's going on in America?

Hey, look at this. 323 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 3: We got to comment from our buddy Mike Netter, what 324 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 3: does DSA stand for? Don't smell the air. 325 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: Man. I understand that it's expensive to live in California, 326 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: I really do. But there have to be areas that 327 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: are cheaper than that. 328 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 3: Go to a big rent controlled part of Los Angeles. 329 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: I'll tell you that. 330 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: Okay. I know everyone says that Barstow's the armpit of America, 331 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: and believe me, I live not far away from there. 332 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: I would rather live in Barstow ten times out of 333 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: ten than live through that. Barstow's got the original del Taca, 334 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: I know, but it's probably cheaper than Boyle Heights way cheaper. 335 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 3: Problem is, if you lived in Barstow, you'd be two 336 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 3: hours away from Vegas, and that's dangerous. 337 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: I'd have that Ultimate ex poker on my mind, and 338 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: prim Nevada is no longer going out of business, so 339 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: i'd have that too. Yeah. 340 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 3: What happened there? Terribles ended up buying up the other casinos. 341 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I think so. They used to have a 342 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: booming business there and then that kid got murdered and 343 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: then everything went to hell with that, and I think 344 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: they had to change the name. It used to be 345 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: the Prima Donna and then they changed it to prim 346 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: Oh boy. Yeah, all right, so that's the latest in 347 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: Boyle Heights. It's the John Phillips Show.

So, Johnny, 436 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: Katie Porter, on October first, twenty seventeen, wrote a yell 437 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: preview for one star to a personal care facility called 438 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 3: Massage Heights. 439 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute, Massage Heights is that one of 440 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: these massage parlors that's on the up and up? Or 441 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: was Katie going there looking for illicit activity? 442 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 3: I am looking up right now, Massage Heights in Irvine. 443 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: Oh it's closed. They got shut down. 444 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: Oh oh. 445 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 3: I don't imagine that this is the kind of place 446 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 3: that has like black bars on the windows and a 447 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 3: flashing open sign and their hours are at eleven o'clock 448 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 3: at night. But if you want to imagine it was that, 449 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: you can do that. But Johnny, you want to go 450 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: ahead and read us what Katie Porter, former Orange County congresswomen, 451 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 3: former Senate candidate, former governor candidate, had to say about 452 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 3: this massage parlor. 453 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna have to do it because I can't 454 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: get beyond the paywall. Okay, all right, I guess i'll 455 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: read it. Do you want to lower the lights to 456 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: set the mode for Katie and the massage parlor? Okay, 457 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: let me do that quick. Someone light a cigarette in there. 458 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: All right, we got some more romantic lighting in the studio. 459 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 3: We want to make sure. Oh, actually, these lighting looks 460 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 3: even better in here. Now. Note that almost one third 461 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: of reviews written are not recommended. Management is hiding a 462 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 3: serious problem. I was a member here for over six years, 463 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 3: So consider my depth of experience with this place and 464 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 3: how you judge this review. 465 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: Oh, I could tell the Karen vibes from the first 466 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: two sentences. 467 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: Oh, some of the folks who have worked here in 468 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: recent years were amazing. You'll see a lot of messages 469 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: of Chris and Arlene neither work here anymore, and the 470 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 3: departures seem to be handled terribly by the franchise owner. 471 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: Bill When someone leaves, often because they are moving or 472 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 3: going back to school, Massage Heights will call and say 473 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: the person violated a policy or quit without notice, when 474 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 3: in fact that is not the case. This impurgins the 475 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 3: therapist reputation while we're using ten dollars words in this 476 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 3: yell review. I have seen this on at least three 477 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 3: separate occasions. I know in at least two instances that 478 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 3: the therapist gave two weeks notice and planned to work 479 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 3: the remaining appointments, but Massage Heights fired them by canceling 480 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: all their appointments. Not only is that illegal in California 481 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 3: to require employers to give notice, but to not pay 482 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 3: them for the notice period, it makes it difficult for 483 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: them to get a recommendation for another therapist from the 484 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: person who has been working with you. While the staff 485 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: are very nice, they are put in a horrible position 486 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 3: by the inconsiderate franchise owner. 487 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: Bill. 488 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 3: When I finally had enough of the non sense and 489 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 3: canceled my membership, Bill called to ask if I would continue. 490 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: When I raised my concerns, he blamed the therapist. I 491 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 3: tried to use my last prepaid appointments. But how many 492 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: massages was she getting? Apparently a lot? But even then 493 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: was I don't even can I use that phrase when Yes, 494 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: I think I can use this phrase when talking about 495 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: being screwed over by a company. I tried to use 496 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 3: my last prepaid appointments, but even then was jerked around. 497 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: The therapist was changed, was changed without explanation. Another no longer. 498 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: How much turnover is that this massage parlor? But on 499 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 3: my last appointment, for which I took time off from 500 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 3: work to have wait, she took a day off of 501 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: work to get a massage. 502 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: Well, maybe she threw her back out when she dumped 503 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: all those potatoes on her ex husband's head. 504 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 3: No, the therapist didn't show up at all. When I 505 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 3: contacted Bill to complain, he said, it's bad when this happens, 506 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: but we are both in the same situation. 507 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: I explained that we were not. 508 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 3: I have paid for services that I am not receiving, 509 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 3: and he's making a profit that he has not earned. 510 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: This is the longest review I've ever read in my life. 511 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: Well, maybe those therapists really knew how to get the 512 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: knots out. 513 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 3: If you want consistent, good service and want to patronize 514 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 3: a place that treats employees with respect, I would never 515 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 3: recommend this. I can cannot continue in good conscious to 516 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: be a patron. Even though it's very convenient location in 517 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,239 Speaker 3: a nice facility, no good therapists would stay there, and 518 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 3: none of them have. So read the reviews with a 519 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: grain of salt, knowing that the poor management here has 520 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 3: resulted in virtually everyone leaving and bt DUB. After I 521 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: posted this, Bill called up and left me a message 522 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 3: saying that I had slandered him and his business, tauntingly 523 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: asking what are you a lawyer? 524 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: Yes? 525 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: In fact, I am one that did not get a 526 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 3: massage that she paid for. That is Katie Porter's review 527 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: of the massage parlor. 528 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: Okay, now, let's just say that you were working at 529 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: that massage parlor, and let's just say, for argument's sake, 530 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: that you weren't Bill, you weren't the owner. You're just 531 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:39,479 Speaker 1: an on the line massuse at this particular spa. And 532 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: they go, okay, we got a live one for you. Randy, 533 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: sitting in room four is your next client. She's a 534 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: frequent flyer, as they say, and she's nude and on 535 00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: the table and ready to go. Would your approach be 536 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: as the massage therapist. Would this be one of those 537 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: ones where you got out the hot stones and you figure, Okay, 538 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: we'll just gonna let the stones do their work. 539 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: Maybe it needs to be one of those cann of 540 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 3: Bliss massages where you put the pot butter on the 541 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 3: back and it starts calming you down as you're massaging 542 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 3: it into your skin. 543 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: What if they had one of those bars in the 544 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: middle of the room where you can just walk on 545 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: her back and it just sounds like a bowl of 546 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: rice crispies as everything is cracking. 547 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 3: You think she likes the four foot ten tie woman 548 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 3: to walk on her back for a massage. 549 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: You know what I think she likes. I think she 550 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: likes it when you do the karate chops because then 551 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: it feels like you're cutting carrots. 552 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: Sorry for the noise, I'm cutting carrots. 553 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 3: So that's what Katie Porter had to say about the 554 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: massage parlor. She did have a very positive experience with 555 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 3: Pacific Ocean Carpet and Tile cleaning, five star review at 556 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 3: baseball Ology, a five star review at Melody Childcare, and 557 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 3: not a very good review for Tony Pepperoni Pizzeriha. 558 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: Oh, what does she have against Tony? Maybe she hates 559 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: him like she hates Bill. 560 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 3: You're out of my shot. Horrible service on delivery. This 561 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: was July thirty first, twenty thirteen. I ordered it four 562 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 3: thirty nine. I am told thirty five to forty minutes. 563 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: I called a check at forty minutes. Driver on way. 564 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: I call boy. She turned into a caveman with this one. 565 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: I call again at five point thirty one, fifty two 566 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 3: minutes later, he says, driver will call me. He doesn't. 567 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 3: I have twenty angry, hungry kids. Pizza was decent when 568 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 3: it arrived, but allow ample ample time. 569 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: Now, wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, 570 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that 571 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: in the middle of the afternoon she ordered enough pizza 572 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: for twenty one people, and she's claiming that she has 573 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: twenty kids. Maybe it was a birthday party at four 574 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon. It's possible she's blaming the kids 575 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: for ordering that much pizza. Took him a long time 576 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: to get there. Apparently, what do you think the odds 577 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: are she was by herself. 578 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 3: Now, there's one other Katie Porter review that we should 579 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 3: explore here. Again, this is all coming from the website 580 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: lamaterial dot com, as they compiled a whole bunch of 581 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 3: different politicians and actual Yelp reviews that they left. Of course, 582 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: we found out about this because someone emailed it to us, 583 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 3: because they've got Katie Porter's. 584 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: Twenty kids like I was born yesterday. 585 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 3: Katie Porter also had a one star experience with Irvine 586 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 3: Yellow Cab on July thirty first, twenty thirteen, which was 587 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 3: the exact same day as she wrote the review about 588 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 3: Tony's Pizza, so she was on a tear. 589 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: I wonder what happened to her that day. 590 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 3: I had a horrible experience with this company. I called 591 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 3: the night before to book the cab for six am. 592 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 3: At six p'oh three. No cab, so I called to 593 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 3: check five minutes away, called again at six' eleven, put 594 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 3: on hold and disconnected six point fifteen. Told that original 595 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 3: driver had never responded to the call, so they try 596 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 3: someone else. It would be five minutes six twenty eight. 597 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 3: Reinstalled three kids car seats, loaded luggage in my car, 598 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 3: and drove frantically to SNA. I was parked and trying 599 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: to lug up my three preschoolers and are stuff through 600 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 3: the parking lot for a seven fifteen flight. When it's 601 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 3: six point thirty five. The driver says he's a few 602 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 3: blocks from my house. Ludicrous. I would have missed my 603 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 3: flight for it being delayed. I will never use this 604 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 3: company again. 605 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So the same day she's claiming she has twenty 606 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: kids at her house when she ordered All that pizza 607 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: in a separate review on the same day she claims 608 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: she has three kids, I told you. Well. 609 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 3: Now, let's just remember here. The day that these incidents 610 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 3: happen may not be the day that she wrote the 611 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 3: yelp reviews. 612 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: She may have gotten two feet. 613 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 3: Deep into a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and decided that 614 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 3: she needed to write some reviews on the old yelps 615 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 3: to let off some steam because she can't go to 616 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 3: her massage parlor anymore. 617 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: Well, not even Octomom has twenty kids. Not Octomom, not care, 618 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: oh Brady, not ethel Kennedy, she has three. 619 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 3: Katie Porter in October of twenty eleven went to Supercuts 620 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 3: and she left a one star review. And I'd be 621 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 3: surprised if there were any five star reviews at Supercuts, or, 622 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 3: as my buddy used to call it, super disappointments. Here's 623 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 3: at least one major problem with this place and why 624 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 3: I marked it appointments only. I showed up for a 625 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 3: simple haircut for my son at six point forty on 626 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 3: a Saturday, and okay, like everything else in Irvine, they 627 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 3: closed ridiculously early at seven pm accurate. If they had 628 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 3: simply told me they could not do it, I probably 629 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 3: would have moved on instead. I waited around for five 630 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 3: minutes while some woman decides what colored tomato red hair 631 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 3: she should be, and then when I asked am, I 632 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 3: told that they don't have time to do it before 633 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 3: they're closed. 634 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I probably would have moved on. 635 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 3: But then some guy walked sent at that point, and 636 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 3: they have time to cut his hair because he called 637 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 3: to tell them he was. 638 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: On his way. WTF. 639 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 3: So there's a secret system for supercuts, I ask him, 640 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 3: I can make an appointment for tomorrow, but no, they 641 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 3: don't take appointments, only phone calls when you're on your way. Geez, 642 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 3: it's not a night club, it's a stupid chain haircut. 643 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 3: I'll take my children elsewhere. Btw. When I called a 644 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 3: few other supercuts, all which closed at seven o'clock, they 645 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 3: were at least nice to me. And there you have it. 646 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 3: Katie Porter and her Yelp reviews as detailed by the 647 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 3: reporting over at la material dot com.

That was Johnny 655 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,280 Speaker 3: who walked into super cuts. 656 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: Oh could you imagine?

Like 662 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 3: Dave writing in, did John do a Yelp review for 663 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 3: his barber today? You know what's funny, I'm looking through 664 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 3: this website again. Lamaterial dot com put together a list 665 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 3: of a whole bunch of LA politicians and their Yelp reviews, 666 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 3: and a lot of them are positive, like this is 667 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 3: on the brand. Eric Garcetti really likes an Indian place, 668 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 3: but most of everyone's writing positive reviews, except for Alex Padilla, 669 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: who wrote a one star review from Great Clips. What's 670 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 3: his problem with Great Clips? And I guess he got 671 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: a bad haircut. I've been in this location many times 672 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 3: with my sons and are usually happy with this results. 673 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 3: It's a given that each visit in each stylist is 674 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 3: a little different. But tonight I had what I can 675 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 3: generinely call a terrible experience. The stylist had a very 676 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 3: bad attitude and was impatient with my son and clearly 677 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 3: does not know how to cut hair. 678 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: I don't know the feeling that was a good show today. 679 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: What was the number of likes that we ended up with. 680 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 3: Let's check the final tally, and thank you kall so 681 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,359 Speaker 3: much for doing this. It definitely helps us take over 682 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 3: the internet one day at a time. Five hundred and 683 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 3: forty four likes. We did it, everybody, You did it? 684 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: All right.
