- 0:26Speaker 2: It goes to a young woman from the Great State
- 0:28Speaker 2: of Texas. Salute to Ambershelvy, drop on the clues BOMX
- 0:31Speaker 2: for Ambershelby, rep Red okay, and it goes to the
- 0:35Speaker 2: Fairfield n in Staten Island. Let me tell you something.
- 0:37Speaker 2: This is why having people on the ground wherever you
- 0:40Speaker 2: go is vital. I don't care if you in the country,
- 0:42Speaker 2: are you out the country? Those reviews and pictures you
- 0:45Speaker 2: see online don't always be the truth, Okay.
- 0:47Speaker 1: For example, I.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Tell people all the time when they come to New
- 0:50Speaker 2: York and they ask me what they should do, always say,
- 0:52Speaker 2: go to the pink house in Brownsville. They hear the
- 0:55Speaker 2: word pink, that's not nice. They hear the word pink
- 0:59Speaker 2: and say that sounds the lightful.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Somebody always tells them, you know, don't listen to me
- 1:04Speaker 2: like Envy just did when I say that, But I
- 1:06Speaker 2: still say it anyway. Okay, I've been in Miami and
- 1:09Speaker 2: had foreigners asked me where to eat. Now before I
- 1:11Speaker 2: say finger licking and slewed through my good brother, eat class,
- 1:14Speaker 2: I say, go to Liberty Square, try the porking beans,
- 1:17Speaker 2: all right. People usually tell me they don't eat pork,
- 1:19Speaker 2: need to do eyes, so I then tell them go
- 1:21Speaker 2: to finger licking. My point is, I don't know what
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm talking about for real, Okay, I just be playing
- 1:25Speaker 2: in Fairfield and in Staten Island.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Y'all playing what? Okay? See?
- 1:29Speaker 2: Amber, her husband, and her two young kids, booked the
- 1:32Speaker 2: hotel room that had a gorgeous view of the city's
- 1:34Speaker 2: iconic skyline.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Well at least it did on the website. All right.
- 1:38Speaker 2: This is the epitome of if what you paid for
- 1:40Speaker 2: versus what you got was a three star hotel room
- 1:43Speaker 2: one hundred and forty dollars Amber paid.
- 1:46Speaker 1: And I can see how this.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Happened to you, Amber, because I looked at the pictures
- 1:48Speaker 2: on the website and we're gonna put them up when
- 1:50Speaker 2: this goes up on YouTube. I can see how you
- 1:53Speaker 2: got gotten all right, but not really the skyline.
- 1:57Speaker 1: They thought they had the New York City skyline.
- 2:00Speaker 2: It was actually a picture of the New York Skyline
- 2:03Speaker 2: printed on the window shades.
- 2:05Speaker 1: So when they took the.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Pictures of the pictures of the hotel room, they closed
- 2:10Speaker 2: the shade so it looks like the New York City skyline.
- 2:13Speaker 1: When she actually opened the.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Shades, their view was a hotel parking lot with a
- 2:16Speaker 2: glimpse of a park across the road with a couple
- 2:18Speaker 2: of kids in Wu Tang Clan t shirts.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Let me tell you something I don't even know.
- 2:22Speaker 2: If you can see the skyline in New York City
- 2:23Speaker 2: from Staten Island in any hotel in Staten Island, can
- 2:26Speaker 2: you see the skyline in New York City from Staten Island.
- 2:28Speaker 4: You should be able if it's a high enough hotel,
- 2:30Speaker 4: I think so, yeah, absolutely you can.
- 2:32Speaker 1: You can't, or somebody from Staton Island let me know.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I know you can get on the ferry. You can No, no, no,
- 2:35Speaker 1: you can't. You definitely can't. Yeah, yeah, okay, I.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Know you can get on the ferry and the ferry
- 2:39Speaker 2: takes you from Lower Manhattan Staten Island and that provides
- 2:41Speaker 2: you some good views of downtown skyline. But even with
- 2:44Speaker 2: me not knowing that, it wouldn't stop me from going
- 2:46Speaker 2: online and saying, sure you can and fantastic views of
- 2:50Speaker 2: the New York City Skyline from Staten Island.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Why would I do that?
- 2:53Speaker 2: Because I enjoy lying for fun, okay, and so does
- 2:56Speaker 2: everyone else. That's why the Fairfield End got the New
- 2:58Speaker 2: York City Skyline on shades in that hotel, because they
- 3:02Speaker 2: not technically lying. They never said, hey, we got fantastic
- 3:06Speaker 2: views of the New York City Skyline.
- 3:07Speaker 1: You just assume that because of the pictures. Now.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Amba said she had no complaints about the hotel. Her
- 3:13Speaker 2: only complaint was that it was too far from New
- 3:16Speaker 2: York City. Amble, my country cousin, I could have told
- 3:21Speaker 2: you that. Check the reviews, man, but check the ratings.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Go on Twitter and use it like Google the way
- 3:26Speaker 2: meet Mill does. Sometimes just ask the question, Hey, all
- 3:29Speaker 2: my New Yorkers, it's Staton Island far from New York City.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Hey can you get a nice hotel in New York
- 3:34Speaker 2: City for one hundred dollars? You would have gotten a
- 3:36Speaker 2: bunch of heroinatics responding to you saying hell yeah, and Nat.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Would have been your answer.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Man. Listen, I know we don't frequent yelp like we should,
- 3:45Speaker 2: but yelp is the Internet equivalent of let me speak
- 3:47Speaker 2: to your manager. Okay, every caaring in America got platinum
- 3:50Speaker 2: reviews on Yelp. They gonna tell you where you should
- 3:52Speaker 2: be and shouldn't be. And my sister, am, but you know,
- 3:54Speaker 2: damn well, when something sounds too good to be true,
- 3:57Speaker 2: it is all right. This is something we learned back
- 3:59Speaker 2: in the days of slavery. Okay, well we should have
- 4:02Speaker 2: learned back in the days of slavery, but we didn't.
- 4:04Speaker 2: When you know better, you do better. We know better now.
- 4:06Speaker 2: We didn't know better back then, and that's how we
- 4:08Speaker 2: ended up on those slave ships. They promised us a
- 4:10Speaker 2: cruiser around the world. Okay, new whips, cars, new change, jewelry,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and they told us it was gonna cost us nothing
- 4:17Speaker 2: but a little bit of work. How did that turn out? Now,
- 4:19Speaker 2: let me be the first to tell you the old adage,
- 4:22Speaker 2: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably
- 4:24Speaker 2: is isn't always correct. In fact, the suspicion, cynicism, and
- 4:29Speaker 2: doubt that are inherent in this belief can and does
- 4:31Speaker 2: keep people from taking advantage of excellent opportunities.
- 4:35Speaker 1: But this wasn't one of those times. Amber, you should
- 4:37Speaker 1: be a shamed.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Okay, Fairfield takes some pictures with the shades up, and
- 4:40Speaker 2: please give Ambers, Shelby and the Fairfield in in Staten
- 4:43Speaker 2: Island the sweet times of the Hamiltons.
- 4:45Speaker 5: Oh no, you are gee of the day, do gee
- 4:56Speaker 5: all the day.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Ye, and don't hit me up either asking me, uh
- 5:06Speaker 2: if I said what I said about slavery was true,
- 5:08Speaker 2: because I just told you all like to lie for fun.
- 5:11Speaker 3: But I actually like what you said the whips and
- 5:14Speaker 3: the chains and how it was like the whips the
- 5:16Speaker 3: cars to change the jewelry.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Yo, you're smart when you want to, babe, but there
- 5:20Speaker 1: was no cars back then.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Just yo, relaxed. I'm making the correlation like I'm trying
- 5:24Speaker 3: to give you a coming. You know, it was dumb.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Everything you said was, and even the donkey, because I
- 5:29Speaker 3: don't even think the lady deserved the damn donkey for
- 5:31Speaker 3: seeing what was presented to her online.
- 5:34Speaker 1: You know, that's that's what it was. She did a
- 5:36Speaker 1: little more research. How old is she? Young? She got
- 5:40Speaker 1: young kids?
- 5:41Speaker 3: She's not young young man, because you said, my sweet
- 5:44Speaker 3: country sister, I thought, and that's what.
- 5:47Speaker 1: She said, country.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Yes, okay, all right, she right, don't know, you don't know.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I could see.
- 5:56Speaker 5: She deserved donkey for that.
- 5:58Speaker 2: A little bit, because you can't go all the way
- 6:00Speaker 2: from Texas to New York without doing more due diligence
- 6:03Speaker 2: and more research than just looking at pictures online.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Okay, one hundred dollars hotel? How many stars would you staying? A? Three?
- 6:10Speaker 1: Three is on the cuss like three?
- 6:11Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes you read the reviews, okay, three stan Island,
- 6:20Speaker 5: Oh my god, but I know somebody out of.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Town you might not know.
- 6:27Speaker 3: I don't even know Staten Island.
