:sick:
If anyone believes they just got kicked out for soley having a boat plugged in......well then you’re a googan. 2 minutes watching it, and you can tell tell he’s a smartass punk. How the hell anyone can stand to watch these idiots is beyond me. That’s our future though smh.
I’ve gone to far measures to plug in my rig never having a issue
I ask about being able to plug in my boat when making reservations and all the ones I have stayed at allow this!
Reading in the comments section several people are calling the hotel and asking if they can plug their boat in and they’re getting hung up on and told no

I have to be honest...I do not see how they were anything less than respectful. From what they showed, They respectfully left the premises once the Police came ( not sure why the Police even had to be called). There could have been more to it after they edited it but I see no wrong doing here. What is it they said or done that anyone feels he was being " a smartass punk" about?
Much like bpt, "live action" is a misnomerQuote:

I would think from viewing the video that the cord was deemed a trip hazard by the hotel. That may have been there cause for not wanting guest to charge a boat at there location. Possible past lawsuit??
If they felt it was a waste of the cops time for them to come remove them from the room then how about you just leave when the hotel manager tells you to?
Smartass punk that needs his ass kicked, and I didn't even watch it, don't fall for the click bait thats how they make their money!Quote:

I stayed at a hotel and they told us this. Said we had to make sure it wasn’t a trip hazard or we couldn’t plug in.Quote:

The Googan squad is the biggest group of douche bags on the planet. How hard is it to ask if you can plug your boat in before you book a room.
Well first you ask. That is just the plain adult and right thing to do. In fact it is something you do when making your reservations or checking in. Bad example for kids I never considered this group a role model for young fishermen. Though I have no problems with them making money, I just don't consider them fishermen or good ambassadors of the sport. Because of this I don't use any products they sale or support. Lol not like I will make a dent in their income stream.
Now I had smart parents. It went like this if didn't make sense then it didn't happen. So does it make sense that several cops would show up for a boat hooked up being charged by an overnight guest. Give it some thought. I mean use what is between your ears. Does this make sense. No way. We can only assume what really went down. I'm not going to guess. But the version of this video no way makes sense it just didn't happen.
What is sad they did not follow rules made a video of it and now the hotel is going to be harassed. That's how they get their fun and weird followers or worse yet young kids that follow the wrong mentors. And yet parents let them and buy their products. Shame on those parents. Parents be a rolemodel to your kids do the right thing.
Ok off my a soap box. But just beleive me if if doesn't make sense then it didn't happen. You all are smarter than that, aren't You?
My gut is they may regret this one in the future if BW keeps getting some calls.
The way they put the OPD logo in the vid makes me think that they want to blame the LEO for their dumb act. Typical snot nose kid attitude. Maybe Best Western should ban them from all of their hotels.
These idiots seem to think the term Googan is a good one, when it really makes them look dumber than hell, which they are.
Come on dude, they are "growing the sport".Quote:

The fact that he states “if the cops show up it will be the most viral thing to hit my channel in awhile” says it all. The attitude is definitely present.
Hey, they're just growing the sport!
From the way the hotel acted I believe they probably got chippy. You can tell the video only shows their side of the story. You tell they edited the entire video and only showed certain clips. The young kid even acted like they wanted to get kicked out so they could go viral.Quote:

:thumb up2: Yea and they can really fish probably a lot better than some of the Dudes on the BBCQuote:

They probably make more money from fishing than most guys on the BBC
I also heard they are kind to dogs as well as little kids plus they never try to run their boat on land, wear better looking shorts than Biffle and will "Never Give Up" making videos that get them free publicity on the BBC.
Dumb dumb dumb.
They can make all the money in the world, and it still doesn’t exempt them from being jackasses....Quote:

Makes me want to stay at a Best Western.
Yup, kids being kids, good thing there was no record of my experiences.........Quote:

Yep there were "Jackass" TV shows and they made a couple of movies. Good ol' USA where you can make lots of money being a jackass.Quote:

I had that happen in Ft Payne Alabama once. The manager woman said, "I have never heard of anyone plugging a boat in."
I'm not even sure what a googan is? Nor do I care much.:laugh:
You guys are right, they should have done what your favourite rock and roll musician would have done, got drunk did a pile
of blow and trashed the hotel room. Then their videos would be worthy of your repeat views.
i get it AP is a bit of a dink, that’s fine...I guess you would all much prefer a bunch of Jordan lee personalities making entertainment videos? That would be exhilarating.
Had it happen only once. We were fishing a club classic near Melbourne Florida. They would not let us plug our boats in. had to drive north and get a new motel.
