@@davidz2562 You sure about that? Most are women, sure if you're talking about gay clubs then yes, but a decent 80-90% are women. The more popular ones such as Magic Mike have even higher ratios of women.
After the last strip club I was expecting another uber sketchy business, but the owner and the dancers really seemed like good, genuine people just trying to run a business and make some ladies happy. The dancers seemed like bros you could go out drinking with and the owner just seems like he's trying to run a clean business that is inclusive to everyone. The fact that single guys are charged more and forced to sit separate to make lady patrons more comfortable is awesome IMO. Despite the negative reviews, this place seems pretty awesome, and I'm a straight male with no particular desire to go to a male rippers. Good job Taji!
I hope he gets paid well for all these things he does, cause he definitley goes out of his comfort zone in every video, u get over it over time i guess but still not easy to do all the time.
@@Ollay245 that his job and hes gotta live somewhere and eat so hes definitly getting paid but maybe not for the video but the office work at Vice, the expirience is good too.

Ye i never understood the instant hate awkward people get regardless of the content of their character. I remember posting something about it years ago when people were being complete dicks for no reason. That mindset of preying on the weak baffles me, but i suppose we live in a world of unreasonable immaturity and its just idiots doing what idiots do.
Seeing all these men be supportive of him is just so heartwarming. I've never wanted to go to a male strip club but seeing how kind they all are made me want to check the place out.

Is it just me, or do you guys also laugh automatically when you see this guy’s face in a thumbnail? I don’t mean that in a mean way! It’s just that this guy is so freaking hilarious that my brain is programmed to auto laugh at the sight of him. Hehehhhh
I love that they didn't treat him like crap for obviously not knowing a damn thing about how to appear enticing or that he isn't a big buff guy. They just walked him through it and even encouraged and praised him. It's super wholesome.
Good old La Barre. Spent my 18th bday there getting a lap dance as a surprise from dorm mates over 20 years ago to this date! Loved this episode and he did a great job.
male for female exotic work at the low level like this is incredibly challenging. so much respect to these guys, they aren't walking away with anything near what the female equivalent does. hope they manage to climb the ladder, and I really do believe they can as they seem to genuinely enjoy the process
undercover in this context probably means that when the crew contacted la bare about filming, they probably addressed the camera and a film project, but were likely vague or stretched the truth about what the project was about so as not to get a biased representation of the strip club. as you can imagine you might not even get the chance to film anything if you told a business owner you are filming things about places with 1 star reviews
Awwwe!!! I just love this guy so much!! He really puts his heart and soul into everything he does and his five star review at the end was very thoughtful.
"if they were *stretching* the truth about size..." Sir, you've been a fellow man your whole life. We ALL stretch the truth about our size at one time or another🤣🤣🤣
Taji keep the hair color! Looks great on you. Hats off to another outstanding review and glad to see you out there working on that confidence of yours!
You should have asked the ladies that were there what they thought of the show. And this review was more of an employee point of view and not as a customer. The input of the customers should have been included.
There is a theme here…..first Taj got his tips frosted and now he is stripping. Not to mention he already visited a nudist community and strip bar. Is Taj preparing to leave Vice to become a male performer? Think about. He conducted his other one-star review shows as a customer. This time he conducted it as an employee 🤔 So, where will Taji be at or will he be touring? Asking for a friend….
Now Teji doesn't have to do these degrading Vice shows. He finally got himself a respectable job. Good for you Taji!! See you Sunday at 7
