Tourist traps are even worse in Paris.. Some of the worst I have ever seen.

Ironically enough, I was in NYC when y’all posted this and Times Square honestly is something everyone should see at least once, it’s kind of a dystopian corporate fever dream, but cool? Plus the tourist traps can be kind of fun (I say this as I’m eating a bag of NYC Peanut-Coffee M&M’s I got in TS) Beyond that you covered most of the scams, though you left out a few of the ones I encountered while there For instance... 1. “Wanna come to my comedy show?” it’s along the same line as the guys trying to peddle their mixtape. But they always try and lead you away or sell you tickets to their comedy show which always just happens to be “just around the corner” wether it’s just a scam to get money, or a front for drugs, or a way to lure you in so they can harvest your organs, I never quite found out. It could also just be people selling fake tickets to a real comedy club, but the idea of it being a front for a organ farm was just a tad bit more exciting 2. The guys trying to sell you tickets for tours/tour busses. Now I know these kinds of services can be legitimate (shaky at best, but still legitimate) there’s an extra layer of sketch when a guy standing on the street corner at 12AM is desperately trying to sell you on some kind of tourist bus. 3. “Free” rides, this one is kind of self explanatory. Getting around NYC is a bitch, but the city is filled with all types of transportation, from subways to horse drawn buggies. The one thing all of these modes of transportation have in common though, is they cost money, and all of the legitimate ones are very upfront about that. The scam ones though are not. They’ll try to lure you in with free rides to popular tourist destinations. They’re prevalent especially after broadway shows get out. They’re pretty easy to ignore, though I had one really really pushy one. I guess he thought we were easy targets since it was just me (a young female) with my two (also young and female) friends. Luckily a friendly New Yorker stepped in when the guy tried following us down the block 4. This one is probably the least sinister, but the one I took the most personally. In Times Square especially there are street vendors selling things like art/photography, the caricatures people, and people that sell stickers. The caricature people, the guys who do the spray paint art, totally cool, awesome dudes just trying to make a buck off their art. The other people however, boil my blood. Some sell shitty prints of famous photographs/pictures of nyc that they got off of google. Others steal other people’s art/designs and try and sell prints of it as their own. Don’t buy from them, don’t support art theft. Well I just wrote a damn novel, I love this episode though, and found it particularly interesting since I was just in NYC when this episode came out

You should do a DFF on Branson, MO

The biggest tourist traps in the UK would be easy it's called London

These edutainment episodes about weird facts are honestly my favorite. Kind of wish you guys would do more like this instead of "WASHED UP CELEB = DEEP FAT FRIED." But hey, it's your guys' show and I enjoy the episodes none the less. Also, Starved Rock in Illinois sucks, SOME INDIANS STARVED TO DEATH HERE, NOW HIKE!

The guy who scalped my cousin did the same festival the next year and they fucked him up in the parking lot. I didn’t feel bad at first but an ass whooping can be hard to watch

Hunter plank

play the ben shapiro part at 2x speed

Ryan Lloyd

The next drawing contest should be "Scenes from the Paul Experience the ride".

Kyle Sager

Should have included Wisconsin Dells one of the biggest tourist traps in the midwest.

The only thing worth a damn at Applebee’s is the wonton tacos

That footage of the neon lights and the hard rock casino ect. in Niagara Falls was actually the Canadian side

The best Tourist Traps are in Thailand

Paul reminds me of family on my dads mom's side, and Tj reminds me of cousins on moms side. They are actually all on each side but thats a different story *cough coug"my grandma is my second cousin once removed :)

Cairo man, now that’s where you keep it zipped and say nothing. saying “no” is like chumming the waters. Mouth shut mirrors shades on, steady walk.

Daniel Melle

I'd travel to go to a Paul themed tourist trap, so long as there's all sorts of delinquency involved

Anthony Massolin

Those pictures of flashing lights in Niagara falls IS on the Canadian side. Im from Niagara falls ontario canada . All those attractions are on clifton hill in Canada. Niagara on the lake is something different, its about a 30 min drive from Niagara falls.

Diogenes

Great video this time good jorb

Canadian Attack Moose

Give me that creamy filling big boy

bendfv

yes come to st. paul! No scammers here, promise.

If only the government was spreading coke trails instead of chem trails. I'd sign up for that dystopia.

Mark Sweeney

great show guys

BettaPonic

You forgot air quotes around man. The Ben Shapiro episode gives you the real origin 😂

BettaPonic

Yeah being nice makes it easy for the hustler.

BettaPonic

That has to be a porno already.

BettaPonic

Who better to educate us on scams than the RV to the Moon guy 😂 One of my favorite episodes.

BettaPonic

You could also have people mail their money to you and have the pinky of Christ touch it. Say the Pinky touching your money blesses you or something. Then say you keeping the money gives them a blessing from the lord. Televangelist seem to get away with it.

BettaPonic

Why set the Pinky of Christ as a place you go? Make it an internet scam. Charge like 19.99 a minute or something to see on skype. Then say the lord is all powerful and it’s power can reach you through the web.

Jason Moore

The cock of christ compels you!

I actually liked this episode it was kinda educational

You guys really made my hangover more bearable. Thanks! I loved The Paul Experience idea🤣

Myles

Always love em long! 👌👌👌

UFO McDonalds? The only McDonalds where the customers not only can stand, but float too.

Elizabeth Ann Duffy

Bourbon Street was fun, and the secret 'vampire' speakeasy was refreshingly chill after the business. Times Square was just soul draining though, apart from a couple of good opera singers and the second hand book stand. A good 'fuck off' sends the hustlers packing though, tourists just need to embrace strategic swearing.

Pinky of Christ

Why did you guys open with a dailywire.com ad?

Charles Field

NEARLY 3 HOURS?!?!? Thank you very much

dabqu

nevermind I figured out you can press share and then watch it on youtube

dabqu

Is there really no way to listen to these on mobile without staying on the screen? Why isn't the RSS updated? Why is there not an easily accessable podcast verson?
