00:00Okay, so today I called the hotel where I was going to book my music video shoot at.
00:10I'm going to tell you the name of the hotel.
00:13The name of the hotel was called The Graduate Hotel.
00:16It's a part of, I think, Hilton.
00:18I'm not sure.
00:19And it's in like Richmond, right?
00:22So when I went, I was playing in this little music video for Caviar Breeze.
00:27And when I went to their website, I saw that they, I was looking in particular for a skyline view.
00:33Okay, because I mentioned that in my song.
00:36So that's exactly what I was aiming for.
00:39So when I looked up this skyline view hotel, I was like, and I went to their website and I saw a picture of a pool on a rooftop.
00:46I was like, oh my gosh, that is the perfect scene to shoot my video.
00:53That is a perfect scene right there.
00:55I was so happy.
00:56I was like, oh my God, I found this spot.
00:58All I had to get through was pay this little pet fee.
01:01And then, and that'll be great.
01:05So I told my cast that I was going to be there, right?
01:11And then, and I got all planned the video out, you know, plan the shot list, everything.
01:18And then I was like, let me go ahead and call this hotel to make sure that the pool is open.
01:23And because sometimes when you get to hotels, the pools are closed.
01:27Like they don't really, um, sometimes they might be doing maintenance on them or they might be closed for the season or they might have opened up yet or they might be broke or they don't work or they malfunction or whatever.
01:38So I wanted to call and make sure that this pool is open so I can shoot my shot in it.
01:44Right.
01:45So when I call this, the lady was like, um, we don't have a pool.
01:50I was like, what do you mean?
01:52It says that you have a pool on your website, on Google.
01:56She was like, no, I'm sorry.
01:58We don't have a pool.
01:59I was like, what do you mean?
02:00I was like, I just looked at it and they're showing a picture of a rooftop pool.
02:05So, um, I was like, is this the graduate?
02:07She was like, yes.
02:09I was like, is this the one on Franklin street in Richmond, Virginia?
02:12She was like, yes, this is the one.
02:15I was like, and you don't have a pool?
02:17She was like, no, I'm sorry.
02:19Where did you, how did you, what makes you think we have a pool?
02:22So I was like, um, I saw a pool on the website, um, on Google.
02:28And, um, and she was like, let me, let me look up and see if I see what you're saying.
02:34And then she came back and was like, yeah, I see what you're saying.
02:38I see that, that photo.
02:40She was like, no, that, that we don't have a pool.
02:43So I, I don't know if it's an AI picture or what, but it's a fake picture.
02:47I was like, so that's a fake picture.
02:49She was like, yes, we don't have a pool on our roof.
02:52I was like, do you have a bar?
02:54And, and, um, and she was like, um, yeah, we have a bar.
03:00And I asked her, was the bar open?
03:02And she was like, um, yeah, there's a bar on the roof, but there's no pool.
03:07So that sick, that really messes up everything.
03:10But the good thing is they don't, they're don't charge for, um, pets, you know, as long
03:16as they have a letter from your doctor or something like that.
03:19Um, but the, the sad part is they don't have a pool.
03:23I was like, do you have a pool anywhere in the building?
03:25She was like, no, there's no pool in here at all.
03:29So yeah, when you're planning a music video or you're planning, um, whatever you're planning,
03:36it doesn't have to be a music video.
03:37It can be any event where you want a pool.
03:40You better make sure you call these hotels up front to see if they really have one or
03:45to see if it's open because it may not be working or they might not even have a pool
03:50at all.
03:50Somebody might've posted a fake AI pic to make it look like they have a pool.
03:54Okay.
03:55Um, so I got all excited.
03:57I posted all these AI pictures on my, um, on my blog about how I wanted the scene to look
04:02and everything.
04:03And the scene can't even happen because there's no rooftop pool with a city skyline view in
04:11Richmond.
04:11I haven't found it yet.
04:13I'm going to keep doing my research to see if I find another one, but most of those type
04:17of things are in like Miami.
04:19It might be a, one of those type of scenes in Virginia beach, but I have to do some more
04:23research.
04:24Um, and the name of the restaurant, the bar that they have on the roof is called the Brookfield.
04:30So I'm going to do, see if I find any, um, any health, uh, sanitation issues with them
04:37just for future reference.
04:38I'm probably not going to go to that hotel because I don't, my vision was not a rooftop
04:44bar scene.
04:46My vision was a rooftop pool scene and I wanted to come out of the water in slow motion and
04:52all of this BS.
04:53So yeah, I'm going to do some more research.
04:56I'm letting you guys know right now, this is a warning.
04:59Um, whenever you're booking a room for whatever reason, and you're looking for a specific feature,
05:04like a pool, make sure you call in advance to see if they even have a pool.
05:08Some of those pictures might be fake.
05:10They might be AI.
05:11Um, they might not really have what's described in the picture.
05:16Okay.
05:16So I'm just letting you know, be on the lookout for my next single Caviar Breeze.
05:21It's going to be released around, um, the 4th of July and the music video is going to
05:26come out shortly after.
05:28So be on the lookout for that.
05:30Um, and go to my website, www.nofemalesallowed.com.
