Ben Phazerblasts recap of his day trying to see AMERICAN GLADIATORS...
so how was it shitty yesterday
we got there 30 min before "call time"
we parked a ways away though
and then found out we couldn't bring in cell phones
oof
okay..well two more dudes were coming.. so we were gonna wait for them and put our phones in their car
"10 min away at most"
they pull in.. take our phones.. go to park.. and it's literally 15 min before they come down
they decided to drink a flask of whiskey
we walk waaaaay into the lot
to a big empty stage where we go through metal detectors and shit
and then stand in line
another 30 min
they start taking everyone in.. and STOP 15 people in front of us
saying they are at capacity .. but people leave halfway through and we'll definitely get in
so we're like "okay.. well we'll see something
it's almost 2 hours
of standing.. waiting
they finally say "okay .. 75 more"
and bring us in
and they sit us in bleachers on the other side of this dividing wall
so we can't even see what's going on!
except on big screens
and they're shooting ONE event
the one where you swing across the rings
but now it's over water instead of matts
we watched 2 chicks and 2 dudes and then bailed
because we couldn't see shit anyway and it takes forever to shoot each one
and as a tease we were sitting RIGHT in front of where they film powerball
but .. they weren't shooting powerball that day
wow
it's probably going to rule on TV
but... tapings.. not ruling.. at all
yeah, tapings never rule ever.
i knew it would suck to a certain extent
but i thought it would at least KIND OF feel like going to a sporting event
you know.. where you could like.. see what was happening

well, thanks for the recap ben. let it be learned that tapings suck, no matter what they are.
