Chelsey Donn:

Hundred episodes.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm just noticing you guys.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so Trey is wearing our Queen of Hearts Card, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know if you guys remember the photo of Trey and 'I standing next

Chelsey Donn:

What he's wearing, his costume

Trey Gerrald:

Your version of this costume was like crumbly and made in the

Chelsey Donn:

'I was gonna say, 'I was gonna say, my 'I think my version of the Queen

Chelsey Donn:

But you look lovely and yeah, 'I can't believe it.

Chelsey Donn:

A' A' hundred episodes.

Chelsey Donn:

I'll never forget that first photo shoot in the basement of your house when this was still

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean it is crazy.

Trey Gerrald:

Also, the photo that we're talking about in question is on our homepage,

Trey Gerrald:

It's the image you see, it's A' little, um, challenging to sit in this costume.

Trey Gerrald:

Um, it like keeps

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, it does.

Chelsey Donn:

It's like the shoulders are riding up A' little bit around the neck.

Trey Gerrald:

But yes, this is our 100th episode of the podcast.

Trey Gerrald:

How Insane and Crazy Today is gonna be A' very special edition of our show.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I was thinking, why don't we kick off this 100th episode with A' really amazing rapid fire

Trey Gerrald:

And this is specifically questions that you should ask on A' work anniversary three.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Trey Gerrald:

So it's basically, these are just 10 random questions that will help us navigate

Trey Gerrald:

So some of these weren't really like particular, so 'I just tried

Trey Gerrald:

So first of all, first, first question, number one.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

What is your favorite work Memory.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my god.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so, so many funny work memories of this podcast, but 'I think that

Chelsey Donn:

Kind of my first is the time when we were recording and at the

Chelsey Donn:

Gerrald.

Chelsey Donn:

And then 'I just like started hysterically laughing cuz 'I Don't know why 'I said that.

Chelsey Donn:

And then 'I think my second was Bow.

Chelsey Donn:

Wow.

Chelsey Donn:

Just like all of the laughs in general, like just the times when like we mess up or we do something

Chelsey Donn:

Laughing for A' long time.

Chelsey Donn:

That's my favorite

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I was gonna 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like bow Wow was up there as well.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think my favorite memory.

Trey Gerrald:

It might actually be when we like announced on social media and like 'I just got such an

Trey Gerrald:

But people were really interested 'I think because of the post 'I made about how it's something I've

Chelsey Donn:

So personal?

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

that people were really rooting for me.

Trey Gerrald:

That was A' really great memory.

Trey Gerrald:

For

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

Trey, what is your favorite part of this job that we have?

Trey Gerrald:

That's A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Good question.

Trey Gerrald:

'I think my favorite part is we don't have to like sit around and wait for people to give

Trey Gerrald:

That's probably my favorite part.

Trey Gerrald:

What about you

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just love the creative control and like being able to create something that is

Chelsey Donn:

Think that's like the best thing about the podcast format is that like we do it

Chelsey Donn:

But regardless, like here we are and as you know, in the industry that we work in, Trey

Chelsey Donn:

But we're always constantly waiting on somebody to give us permission

Chelsey Donn:

And this is A' way that we get to engage with one another and an audience on our own terms.

Chelsey Donn:

And it's, it's really rewarding.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

It's interesting we have the same answer.

Chelsey Donn:

Well, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

has changed the most since you started doing the podcast?

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

that is A'.

Chelsey Donn:

You know, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think that 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think before 'I did the podcast, 'I used to be like really afraid.

Chelsey Donn:

Just speaking candidly, 'I guess In A' public forum, like 'I never thought that

Chelsey Donn:

But like, we share things about our life and especially in the after show, you

Chelsey Donn:

Fear of showing up as authentically myself.

Chelsey Donn:

'I think that was one of the reasons why 'I loved being an actor, was the idea of

Chelsey Donn:

Think when 'I first thought about doing the podcast, even though I've done standup

Chelsey Donn:

And now 'I think it's like the thing 'I love the most about it.

Chelsey Donn:

And sometimes 'I say stupid things and sometimes 'I listen back to an episode.

Chelsey Donn:

And I'm like, 'I use the wrong word, or whatever it is.

Chelsey Donn:

But you know what, it makes us all more human.

Chelsey Donn:

And um, 'I, 'I really have A' different perspective on that.

Chelsey Donn:

So 'I think that's probably what's changed the most for me.

Chelsey Donn:

How about for you?

Trey Gerrald:

It's so crazy cuz 'I feel like it's similar.

Trey Gerrald:

Like, well two things, A' different answer is 'I Think I'm much more aware

Trey Gerrald:

Because I'm editing the show, so I'm very much aware of when I'm like

Trey Gerrald:

But very much 'I my first response.

Trey Gerrald:

What has changed the most for me is very much my opinion, like being okay with sharing my

Trey Gerrald:

That has really had A' positive impact on me outside of the podcast and just sort

Chelsey Donn:

Right.

Trey Gerrald:

and not feeling like 'I will get in trouble if 'I do that, or

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, that's been really nice.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so this is an interesting question.

Chelsey Donn:

What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

Trey Gerrald:

'I would say sticking with it.

Chelsey Donn:

Ditto.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean are we just always gonna have the same answer?

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Never really 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Did 'I think 'I was intentional when we like started about doing it one week at A' time.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I don't think that 'I really foresaw 100 episodes.

Trey Gerrald:

Not because of any specifics.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think 'I just wasn't sure what my life would be or that it was even Stick Withable.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think I'm just, I'm proud of the fact that this is one of those projects that 'I really enjoy

Chelsey Donn:

You know, cause I'm A' A' writer and I've done, I've written web series, you've been A' web

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I always wanna talk about our show.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I find that 'I have great conversations with all different kinds of people,

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of the things that we discuss on our show, and it's like the easiest thing to describe.

Chelsey Donn:

It's such A' breath of fresh air when you're talking to someone and

Chelsey Donn:

And to have something that is like so universal and so easy to describe

Chelsey Donn:

And to be able to be A', part of that 'I think feels.

Chelsey Donn:

Really good, and I'm really proud about that.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I 'I don't always like to talk about what I'm doing, but 'I find that 'I can

Chelsey Donn:

That's like what 'I always tell everyone.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm just like so proud of us.

Chelsey Donn:

We're just like the two little engines that could 'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of people don't understand one, how much work goes into creating A' podcast

Chelsey Donn:

So, you know, I'm really proud of that.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I, that's like what 'I love about it too.

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

What surprised you the most about this job?

Chelsey Donn:

Hmm.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think like going back to kind of what 'I just said, just how much work it is.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I 'I, 'I had A', lot of friends that had podcasts prior to this and 'I 'I was A'

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I think 'I was just like, that's cool.

Chelsey Donn:

That's like A' cool little thing that you do.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I think 'I was really surprised when 'I realized how much work and how much dedication

Chelsey Donn:

And just, there's so many elements that 'I never would've imagined when we started this

Chelsey Donn:

Um, because 'I 'I learned so much.

Chelsey Donn:

How about you?

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

Workload for sure.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I actually talked about this A' couple of episodes back.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't remember when, but 'I think the most surprising thing about

Trey Gerrald:

'I literally do not remember what we talked about.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Don't rem like it.

Trey Gerrald:

And that is like so interesting to think about on like A' life scale.

Trey Gerrald:

Like how much conversation do 'I, just forget all of the minutiae about

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean.

Trey Gerrald:

It's really fascinating

Chelsey Donn:

It's fascinating when other people like repeat things back to

Chelsey Donn:

And I'm like, wait, 'I said what?

Chelsey Donn:

What did 'I say?

Chelsey Donn:

Or, but yeah, that is, that's so true.

Chelsey Donn:

That's so true.

Chelsey Donn:

All right.

Chelsey Donn:

What advice, Trey would you give to A' podcaster on their first day?

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, it's funny because it, it just, full disclosure, ChelseyBD

Trey Gerrald:

And so we have, it's funny that this is happening, this recording is happening as

Trey Gerrald:

But the advice that 'I would give now is like literally advice 'I gave to

Trey Gerrald:

'I was like, don't be worried about getting it right.

Trey Gerrald:

Like that concern and that is something 'I would say often was like, don't let the possibility die

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I think like so much has come, like A' episode 98

Trey Gerrald:

And we wouldn't have gotten the quirkiness, the fun, the like ideas, the context

Chelsey Donn:

A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Hundred percent.

Trey Gerrald:

which like is so like we get that like it's so easy to get that.

Trey Gerrald:

But to live through that 'I think has been A' challenge and.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

So that's really the advice 'I would give and that's 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember Chris, we delcon, like, he was also saying like, just do it.

Trey Gerrald:

Like, just make it and you'll figure it out as you go.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I think that there really is truth in that.

Trey Gerrald:

Like that is the advice 'I would give is like, just play it.

Trey Gerrald:

Just play it out and, and don't worry about getting it right.

Trey Gerrald:

What advice would you give to A' podcaster on day one?

Chelsey Donn:

'I would say 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think A' an advice that that you and 'I gave each other.

Chelsey Donn:

That is something that 'I always try to go back to, which is that we do this for fun

Chelsey Donn:

And it's an exercise in committing to something and not really getting like so distracted.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I will say that I've been so pleasantly surprised by our numbers and how many people

Chelsey Donn:

But almost like the downfall that comes with that is that now that you're like,

Chelsey Donn:

And how can we have even more so that we can be getting to this next place?

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I think it's really important that 'I keep reminding myself like.

Chelsey Donn:

It's just the two of us and we're doing so amazing in everything that we're creating.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I don't need to compare myself to anybody else that 'I really need to stay in this lane

Chelsey Donn:

And that is really what people 'I think are resonating with.

Chelsey Donn:

So the more you can not get more down by all of the minutia of like, yeah, but how many downloads

Chelsey Donn:

And really stay in your own lane.

Chelsey Donn:

'I think the happier you'll be throughout the process.

Chelsey Donn:

And the, and then the side effect of that 'I think is that people read that, you know,

Trey Gerrald:

Right?

Trey Gerrald:

All of that is almost like secondary to like what actually is going on,

Chelsey Donn:

exactly.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, yeah,

Trey Gerrald:

A' whole other episode, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Well, speaking of

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

your favorite episode,

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

'I still have like A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Well, oh God.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

There's two 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Say for my, my review, my favorite was the ball.

Chelsey Donn:

Like that was just so fun.

Chelsey Donn:

The inflatable ball still remains the, my favorite.

Chelsey Donn:

'I believe of my reviews, but honestly, 'I think my favorite overall, which shouldn't

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean those were literally the two.

Trey Gerrald:

'I was gonna say, I'm trying how?

Trey Gerrald:

What else do 'I?

Trey Gerrald:

'I also 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think my favorite verses was DJ Spino,

Chelsey Donn:

DJ Spin Fell, which was like our first verses that was A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Good one.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean it.

Trey Gerrald:

That might kind of be mine as well.

Trey Gerrald:

'I for whatever.

Trey Gerrald:

Santino is so special.

Chelsey Donn:

It was nice when we did my favorite Murder because it was like kind

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember OkCupid?

Trey Gerrald:

That was like an intense episode too.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I loved, like having our guests, like when we had Natalie and

Chelsey Donn:

And we have A', uh, un aired one with David, which we'll maybe share at some point.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, these are A' few of my favorite things.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

So what, what's the silliest work mistake you ever made?

Chelsey Donn:

'I feel like 'I already answered this, but what, what was yours?

Trey Gerrald:

Um, well, what comes to mind as when 'I made up the cookie Monster

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I didn't.

Chelsey Donn:

'I didn't, yes.

Chelsey Donn:

And you.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, it's not A' mistake,

Chelsey Donn:

Oh, oh yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

But you were just like, I'm trying this new thing.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I was like, okay.

Chelsey Donn:

That was really funny.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Why?

Trey Gerrald:

What about you?

Chelsey Donn:

Mine was definitely when 'I was like, and 'I am Trey Gerrald, like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just don't know why 'I said that.

Chelsey Donn:

'I just thought 'I was you for A' second.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I like legitimately was reading the script and 'I was like, 'I am Trey Gerrald.

Chelsey Donn:

We have it recorded because 'I wanna say we put it on our Instagram

Trey Gerrald:

'I

Chelsey Donn:

as A' video.

Chelsey Donn:

And so it's still, if you go to the reels tab you'll see it there.

Chelsey Donn:

But that was definitely A' silly mistake.

Trey Gerrald:

Oh wait.

Trey Gerrald:

'I just remembered.

Trey Gerrald:

Another like favorite episode was the poop in the pool.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

Where we got to be like detectives and, and really like, that was A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Good reply From, from owner, whatever.

Trey Gerrald:

All right, so these are our final questions.

Trey Gerrald:

So what do you see for the future of the show?

Chelsey Donn:

Well, 'I mean, should 'I tease what we've been working on or should 'I not, or.

Trey Gerrald:

go ahead.

Chelsey Donn:

so something that has come up A' lot A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of people have been asking me if they could watch us on YouTube, and that was not something

Chelsey Donn:

And now that it's literally come up so much like it, it comes up almost, I'd say every

Chelsey Donn:

Trey and 'I are going to start releasing full, unedited, uh, episodes of our podcast on YouTube.

Chelsey Donn:

So we're gonna be A' little bit behind real time.

Chelsey Donn:

So if you're joining Patreon, you're still gonna get full access to the brand new like,

Chelsey Donn:

So 'I see that as being the future and, and 'I still really think that Yelp 'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I feel like it's Yelp needs to hire the review.

Chelsey Donn:

Queens, come on.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't you think we would be so cute in our little like bee costumes in the top corner of

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah, 'I really liked that badge idea.

Trey Gerrald:

It's like this has been vetted or not

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Hit us up.

Chelsey Donn:

You neither review Queens to vet your reviews, so that would be great.

Chelsey Donn:

How about you?

Trey Gerrald:

Well, definitely like the presence on YouTube, A',

Trey Gerrald:

So that's in the works.

Trey Gerrald:

And also 'I, like finding new ways to expand the world of Review, That,

Trey Gerrald:

And it's like these are the things that just keep showing up.

Trey Gerrald:

So it's exciting to be presented with what is next, you know?

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I would love to do.

Chelsey Donn:

A' live show.

Chelsey Donn:

A', little A' little tour.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so finally, Trey, what would you like to accomplish in the coming year?

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Mean 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like it's kind of similar to the last question, but like, I'm always

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

also, like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Love that.

Trey Gerrald:

We recently had A' A' review from Indeed.

Trey Gerrald:

Trey Gerrald:

Or not always funny, but like interesting content.

Trey Gerrald:

More diverse content.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

What

Chelsey Donn:

'I would love to have more guests on the shelf, but we do have like

Chelsey Donn:

So it would be like, it would be great, uh, if we could have A' few more guests in this next year.

Trey Gerrald:

That's right.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I would also love to hear from you guys.

Chelsey Donn:

It's my favorite, my literal favorite part of the show.

Chelsey Donn:

When you guys leave A' voicemail at one A', five zero review, zero, and you share

Trey Gerrald:

Review.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm not gonna lie.

Chelsey Donn:

A' A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Little nervous.

Chelsey Donn:

It's gonna get meta up in here.

Chelsey Donn:

Consider this like A' DVD bonus feature.

Chelsey Donn:

We're gonna list to episode one and have A' running commentary.

Chelsey Donn:

It's like the director's commentary edition.

Trey Gerrald:

That's right.

Trey Gerrald:

And we'll pause if we need to, if we like, feel like we need to really dig deep as

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

We'll also Assess the covets of episode one.

Chelsey Donn:

See if our ratings have changed over the past 99 episodes before ultimately rating

Trey Gerrald:

So we recorded episode one on June 12th, 2021.

Trey Gerrald:

We had been doing some dress rehearsals, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think we did four or five dress rehearsals, maybe,

Chelsey Donn:

think three.

Chelsey Donn:

And then like the fourth one was, ended up being episode two or three.

Chelsey Donn:

'I Think,

Trey Gerrald:

right?

Trey Gerrald:

Something like that.

Trey Gerrald:

So we sort of, kind of had figured out what the basic structure was, but 'I have not

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I went live.

Chelsey Donn:

'I Wanna say on my birthday, cuz 'I think it was June 22nd.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

So we debuted with our first three episodes on June 23rd, 2021.

Chelsey Donn:

my birthday.

Chelsey Donn:

It's so crazy.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Real 'I Also 'I have not listened to this episode since it first aired.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I and 'I played it in my car.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I remember sort of like biting my nails being like, oh, is it gonna be okay?

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I think it was, but um, maybe I'll think differently now that we're A' hundred

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

Let's go.

Trey Gerrald:

VOICEOVER:

We met 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think the year was 2017, is that right?

VOICEOVER:

As my memory serves, yeah, it was the summer 'I believe of 2017.

Yeah, we met because 'I was spending A' little time in Los Angeles and our mutual

VOICEOVER:

She was like, you have to meet my friend Chelsey Donn.

VOICEOVER:

You're gonna be obsessed with her.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I had heard tell about this really funny person that went to school with her.

VOICEOVER:

And anyway, so 'I met you and you know, that can go one of two ways.

VOICEOVER:

True.

But we actually became really good friends.

Like we kept in touch and now here we are.

VOICEOVER:

Gosh, that's now it's 2021.

You were the first person and 'I called you.

VOICEOVER:

And you called me right back and here we are today.

VOICEOVER:

It was an honor.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Uh, so A' little quick notes here.

VOICEOVER:

So we started pitching and brainstorming and coming up with, um, ideas and

VOICEOVER:

Our first conversation was in March, and, uh, we have spent the last couple of months really

VOICEOVER:

And it's, it's been maybe,

Chelsey Donn:

except they will.

VOICEOVER:

there'll be bonus content on our patron.

VOICEOVER:

Could be.

VOICEOVER:

But it's been really fun.

VOICEOVER:

It's been such A', interesting, fun, uh, creative outlet, especially, you know, we

VOICEOVER:

And, uh, this has been like A' really fun experience working with you.

VOICEOVER:

And so 'I hope that all of the listeners equally enjoy diving into

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Guess what?

Trey Gerrald:

I'm just wondering like why did 'I think strangers would care about any of that?

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just remember you saying that you wanted people to know who we were and what our relationship was.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I feel like that's fair because A', lot of the feedback that I've gotten about

Chelsey Donn:

And it's like hanging out with A' couple friends and 'I think it gives it context.

Trey Gerrald:

yes.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't remember what 'I edited out and stuff, so this is also like we're just

Chelsey Donn:

Oh, that is true.

Chelsey Donn:

'I think.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Now that I'm thinking back on this 'I, think 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember listening to it and then giving you editing notes and we like cut it down even

Trey Gerrald:

yeah, it feels A' little long to me, but that's just me being critical.

Chelsey Donn:

is A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Little long, but, but this again is the unedited version.

Chelsey Donn:

And this is like, really, this was what we were doing.

Chelsey Donn:

'I remember being very afraid during the part where 'I needed to like intro myself.

Chelsey Donn:

Cuz that wasn't scripted.

Chelsey Donn:

That was just like, and now ChelseyBD and Trey are gonna talk about themselves.

Chelsey Donn:

A' little bit.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I remember being very nervous.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I 'I think 'I 'I played it

Trey Gerrald:

we were both so nervous.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, it's cute.

Trey Gerrald:

All right, here we go.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Feel like we should get into it, right?

VOICEOVER:

'I?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, let's do it 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER:

So, oh wait, 'I, do want to quickly ask, are you someone who partakes in online reviews?

VOICEOVER:

Are you A' person that is in this world already?

VOICEOVER:

'I am an avid reader of online reviews.

VOICEOVER:

'I wouldn't say I'm as much of A' writer, but 'I read all the time.

VOICEOVER:

I'm constantly dissecting reviews.

VOICEOVER:

'I do this for friends when they get like, they're like, oh, I'm afraid to buy this product.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I really will go through it and say like, is this A' deal breaker?

Chelsey Donn:

Still true.

VOICEOVER:

I've been that person for A' long time and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I generally have A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good sense of people.

VOICEOVER:

And when we're like, you know, just sort of kvetching because.

VOICEOVER:

Or sorry, complaining because we feel like we wanna hear our own voice and when we're

VOICEOVER:

So 'I can say, I'm passionate about reviews and I've written A' few in my day.

VOICEOVER:

How about you?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I, 'I, um, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I 'I have written one review in my life on delivery.com.

VOICEOVER:

And after A' horrible experience.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I got so paranoid that 'I actually like completely changed my entire username

VOICEOVER:

So I'm not, I'm not A' person that frequents Yelp or all of those situations, but 'I,

VOICEOVER:

So I'm excited to, um, I'm gonna find that review that you wrote.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Wonder if it's still there.

VOICEOVER:

You know, 'I wanna see if there's, if there's retribution to be had.

VOICEOVER:

A'.

VOICEOVER:

A'.

VOICEOVER:

right, well, I'm glad that we, um, are here.

VOICEOVER:

I'm glad that the listeners are here and 'I feel like we are more

VOICEOVER:

So here we are, episode one of Review, That, Review.

Chelsey Donn:

Crazy

VOICEOVER:

Here we are.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean.

VOICEOVER:

How was your week?

VOICEOVER:

Tried, did anything exciting happen this week for you?

VOICEOVER:

You know, 'I had, um, A' very really great week.

VOICEOVER:

It's been 'I Don't even know what to talk about for my week.

Trey Gerrald:

That's still true for me.

VOICEOVER:

we just not do weeks?

VOICEOVER:

We cannot do weeks 'I mean.

Chelsey Donn:

we've pretty much already talked about,

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, let's 'I, let's just jump into complaining.

VOICEOVER:

Is that cool?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, right.

VOICEOVER:

I'm about it.

VOICEOVER:

'I, because 'I just want to go ahead and get to the meet so that they

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I can intro 'I think 'I

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean it's interesting that like 'I

Trey Gerrald:

am,

Chelsey Donn:

honest moment.

VOICEOVER:

go.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm like responding to that in real time.

Trey Gerrald:

So I'm glad to see that 'I was feeling it in the moment,

VOICEOVER:

maybe we

Chelsey Donn:

Same.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I still, like 'I, still think the hardest part of the

Trey Gerrald:

Don't know why that's so hard for me.

Trey Gerrald:

All right, so we're nine minutes into this recording of the episode and we're

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

If 'I was making A' podcast 'I, think 'I would come up with A'.

VOICEOVER:

Really cute phrase for that.

VOICEOVER:

And it would maybe be the first segment called Lodge.

VOICEOVER:

A.

VOICEOVER:

Complaint.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

I'm so glad you had that queued up.

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

Do you have A' Complaint to Lodge?

VOICEOVER:

Trey?

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

'I absolutely have A' Complaint to Lodge and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Thought long and hard about what should be My very first for the episode.

VOICEOVER:

For this first episode, and I'm gonna be controversial.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, no.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

But with A' Heart of Bravery, and I'm gonna go after this Complaint

Trey Gerrald:

Oh, 'I,

VOICEOVER:

the NBC Competition.

VOICEOVER:

Show the voice.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Forgot about that.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

The voice.

VOICEOVER:

Can you, okay.

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, can you name A' single winner from The Voice?

VOICEOVER:

Oh, no.

VOICEOVER:

I've watched some episodes.

VOICEOVER:

Probably not to be honest, but my parents are avid voice watchers, so

VOICEOVER:

Winner of American Idol.

VOICEOVER:

Kelly Clarkson.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

There you go.

VOICEOVER:

Stuttered.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, this is what has occurred to me.

VOICEOVER:

'I was never in that reality competition watching, cuz 'I went, was in A' boarding school.

VOICEOVER:

We didn't have cable, but uh, my husband is obsessed with American Idol and always has been.

VOICEOVER:

And so I've seen it and 'I have seen the evolution of that program where it

VOICEOVER:

And then it started to turn into about the judges and then you get like the likes

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

So then in that platform we start to create A' show called The Voice, where it's literally

VOICEOVER:

Great idea.

VOICEOVER:

But we're on season 'I, don't know, 2,800 and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Like 'I, don't know A' single person who wins.

VOICEOVER:

It's the same as like The Bachelor, like as soon as it ends, then they have one of

VOICEOVER:

Right?

VOICEOVER:

So it's like 'I, just 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like we need to put an end to these entertainment reality competition shows that

VOICEOVER:

But then is that like unfair to expect that this re like competition show

VOICEOVER:

Like don't you have to put, you know, 'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

The music industry has nothing 'I know anything about it just really bugs me that this reality

VOICEOVER:

They also like 'I think have multiple seasons in A' year.

VOICEOVER:

Like it's not just one 'I think we're maybe like oversaturating the market,

VOICEOVER:

These are like entertainment shows.

VOICEOVER:

'I think that's why it is about the judges.

VOICEOVER:

And so to me it's sort of like obnoxious that it's this whole ruse that it's

VOICEOVER:

You just win the voice.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, so, all right, so they're not trying to find America's Next like Superstar 'I.

VOICEOVER:

I'm sure they get some sort of A' record deal and who knows 'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

But that's my Complaint.

VOICEOVER:

I'm just, it's it 'I.

VOICEOVER:

It bothers me.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I think there could be some reflection about why it bothers me, but maybe because

VOICEOVER:

And that is my real Complaint 'I think it's A' worthy.

Trey Gerrald:

Pretty long-winded.

Trey Gerrald:

Complaint.

Chelsey Donn:

was A' lot.

Chelsey Donn:

And also we were still really digging.

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't really know exactly what we would be complaining about long term, but

Chelsey Donn:

I'm also noticing like 'I clearly cared way more about the way that 'I looked during episode one

Trey Gerrald:

What do you mean

Chelsey Donn:

recordings, well, 'I like 'I, my hair is like freshly blown out 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I maybe have A' little bit of makeup on.

Chelsey Donn:

'I just feel like in general, 'I 'I like was more like calculated.

Chelsey Donn:

Now 'I feel much more carefree in

Trey Gerrald:

'I hear that.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I also think you like, it's like it was like A' new thing.

Trey Gerrald:

You were like showing up A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Hundred percent, you know?

Chelsey Donn:

Right, right,

Trey Gerrald:

'I also still 100% stand behind not liking the voice.

Trey Gerrald:

'I still 100% would Lodge that

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

Fair.

Trey Gerrald:

hear yours.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm curious,

Chelsey Donn:

Good to hear.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Me too.

Chelsey Donn:

What did 'I say?

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, do you have any Complaint?

VOICEOVER:

You wanna Lodge?

Chelsey Donn:

Remember what 'I said?

VOICEOVER:

'I?

VOICEOVER:

Do 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I wanna make

Chelsey Donn:

pause.

Chelsey Donn:

Can 'I guess?

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I complained about Newton and like Newton's law and everything

Chelsey Donn:

But

Trey Gerrald:

that Murphy

Chelsey Donn:

I'm not A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Yep.

Chelsey Donn:

Murphy.

Chelsey Donn:

That's what 'I meant.

Chelsey Donn:

Wait, but maybe it was Newton.

Chelsey Donn:

What was Newton's law?

Trey Gerrald:

Isn't Newton gravity

Chelsey Donn:

Oh yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Everything that's up must go

Trey Gerrald:

down?

Trey Gerrald:

Right.

Trey Gerrald:

Okay, so we think it, it's Murphy Newton

Chelsey Donn:

Think it's Murphy 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think it's Murphy Newton

Trey Gerrald:

Let's see.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't remember.

VOICEOVER:

First of all, A', general Complaint against like Murphy's Law and

Trey Gerrald:

You were right.

VOICEOVER:

is, that he's such A' pessimist that like anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

VOICEOVER:

And at like the most inopportune time, it's been like getting really hot in A' lately.

VOICEOVER:

And it's great 'I love it.

VOICEOVER:

Except this was the time that my air conditioner decided like, mm, let's just not work anymore.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I wanna blame Murphy.

VOICEOVER:

What do you think Murphy's last name was?

VOICEOVER:

'I thought Murphy was the last name.

VOICEOVER:

Oh yes.

VOICEOVER:

Like Newton, like Newton's law.

Trey Gerrald:

Newton.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

So what do you think Murphy's first name was?

Chelsey Donn:

There you go.

VOICEOVER:

Probably something like very old and like, like A' Sigmund, but not Sigmund.

VOICEOVER:

Cuz that's taken by Freud.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I think like something that's like, oh wow.

VOICEOVER:

Like 'I haven't heard that name in A' long time would be my guess.

VOICEOVER:

Edwin.

VOICEOVER:

Like Edwin?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Edwin.

VOICEOVER:

With

Trey Gerrald:

all

VOICEOVER:

middle name.

VOICEOVER:

You know Murphy 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

But why, why such A' pessimist.

VOICEOVER:

Why can't it be like everything that can go right will go right.

Trey Gerrald:

Mm

VOICEOVER:

You know, 'I feel like that's very Buddhist of you.

VOICEOVER:

Thank you 'I mean.

Trey Gerrald:

wait.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I just had A' memory.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember early on feeling intimidated by your comedy brain because 'I remember thinking

Trey Gerrald:

Tracking of like jokes in your complaints that like made me feel like, oh, I'm

Chelsey Donn:

that's funny.

Chelsey Donn:

'I did not plan anything.

Chelsey Donn:

'I did write, all 'I had written down on A' piece of paper was, was Murphy

Trey Gerrald:

well 'I think that is who you are.

Trey Gerrald:

Innately like 'I think like your brain thinks through things.

Trey Gerrald:

Obviously 'I in A' different way than me, but 'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Just remember being very aware of like, oh, she's so quick 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Just remember that.

Chelsey Donn:

Thank you.

Chelsey Donn:

Thanks

VOICEOVER:

Anyway, lodging, A', Complaint against Murphy and like the bad 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Don't know juju that he puts out and how it affects me personally, like

VOICEOVER:

It's A' good.

VOICEOVER:

Complaint.

VOICEOVER:

I'm gonna be really thinking about 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Edwin Murphy for A' while now, as you should.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

All right.

VOICEOVER:

'I, feel like I've heard enough about us?

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

And our complaints.

VOICEOVER:

Maybe we should hear some other people's complaints.

VOICEOVER:

What do you think 'I?

VOICEOVER:

Love it.

VOICEOVER:

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

As you're A' trustee review, Queens, Trey and 'I will each bring in A' new review from the

VOICEOVER:

We will read the review.

VOICEOVER:

We will break it down, and then we rate the impact of the review on A' scale from one to

VOICEOVER:

It's true, it's A', very regal process that we've created with leading scientists and

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, my dear.

VOICEOVER:

For those of us who don't speak Yiddish, what does that word mean?

Trey Gerrald:

Oh my God.

VOICEOVER:

means complaints.

VOICEOVER:

Oh.

VOICEOVER:

Like what we were just doing, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Correct.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, great.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Awesome.

VOICEOVER:

All right, well, which one of us is going first today?

VOICEOVER:

'I don't.

VOICEOVER:

I'm first.

VOICEOVER:

You're first.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Well take it away.

VOICEOVER:

Review.

VOICEOVER:

Queen.

VOICEOVER:

Let's hear it.

VOICEOVER:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

Oh my God.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my god.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, don't remember what you brought in.

Chelsey Donn:

Do you remember what you brought in?

VOICEOVER:

A' while ago, and I've been sitting on it.

Trey Gerrald:

Hmm.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember

VOICEOVER:

The very first review on Review, That, Review,

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my goodness.

VOICEOVER:

Review, That Review.

Chelsey Donn:

It's crazy how much the script says say the same, but sound different cuz we're

Trey Gerrald:

'I know

Chelsey Donn:

more comfortable.

VOICEOVER:

'I have

Trey Gerrald:

was thinking of that too.

VOICEOVER:

the website Good Reads.

VOICEOVER:

There's A' very active community on Good reads,

Trey Gerrald:

is Shanice, right?

Chelsey Donn:

This is Shanice.

Chelsey Donn:

That was A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Good episode.

Chelsey Donn:

'I like Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

written by Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

And, um, this is A', one star for the book.

VOICEOVER:

50 Shades of Gray.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Ha ha, ha ha.

VOICEOVER:

No.

VOICEOVER:

You're serious.

VOICEOVER:

This is A', New York Times number one best seller.

VOICEOVER:

Why?

VOICEOVER:

Why are people

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

VOICEOVER:

claiming how good it is?

VOICEOVER:

How much they quote unquote loved it?

VOICEOVER:

Have you never read A' decent piece of literature in your life?

VOICEOVER:

Not to say this is literature, but come on.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

I'm abusing italics.

VOICEOVER:

'I was excited to read this book because 'I like A', little Romance and erotica.

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

Every now and then, but 'I didn't expect this.

VOICEOVER:

This wasn't erotic, nor was it romantic.

VOICEOVER:

When Anna first meets Christian, it's more than obvious that this is A' fanfic of twilight.

VOICEOVER:

Anna's clumsy constantly.

VOICEOVER:

Excuse me.

VOICEOVER:

'I just choked to myself.

VOICEOVER:

I'm gonna go back.

Trey Gerrald:

Nervous.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

When A' first meets Christian, it's more than obvious that this is A' fanfic of twilight.

VOICEOVER:

Anna's clumsy.

VOICEOVER:

Continuously bites.

VOICEOVER:

Her lip doesn't understand why A' guy, any guy would be attracted to her and

Trey Gerrald:

Hmm.

VOICEOVER:

was A' moment in the book where 'I put it down and laughed.

VOICEOVER:

A' good, hardy laugh.

VOICEOVER:

I'm not exactly sure where it was.

VOICEOVER:

The whole thing is purely comedic.

VOICEOVER:

'I wasn't going to continue reading it, but 'I kind of wanted to know how it ended.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I basically skimmed through 'I, mainly read their emails.

VOICEOVER:

Though idiotic were still cute.

VOICEOVER:

The actual writing in this book was poor at best.

VOICEOVER:

The repeating of sentences, phrases, thoughts over and over and over again.

VOICEOVER:

'I believe she mentioned her subconscious about 80 times.

VOICEOVER:

Parenthesis.

VOICEOVER:

This is not an exaggeration, but fact and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I wanted nothing more than for her subconscious to shut the hell up.

VOICEOVER:

And her inner goddess parentheses mentioned about 60 times question mark.

VOICEOVER:

Ha haha.

VOICEOVER:

What?

VOICEOVER:

A' slut.

Chelsey Donn:

What is

VOICEOVER:

B D S M.

VOICEOVER:

I'm not one who is A' fan of this.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't want be controlled and 'I don't want to control someone.

VOICEOVER:

So that whole aspect was bad enough in and of itself.

VOICEOVER:

And the fact that she was actually scared that if she did something wrong, he'd

VOICEOVER:

A' difference between love and obsession.

VOICEOVER:

For anyone who wants to read A' Romance or even erotica, you can buy A' $3 or A' $4 book

VOICEOVER:

Why the fuck would you want to pay anything more than A' Penny for this book?

VOICEOVER:

Seriously, all caps.

VOICEOVER:

Why do people like this?

VOICEOVER:

Christian was nowhere near sexy to me.

VOICEOVER:

No matter who 'I tried to picture playing him.

VOICEOVER:

It was completely pathetic.

VOICEOVER:

And now they're making A' movie that's completely unfair.

VOICEOVER:

And how will they even do it?

VOICEOVER:

'I say, Jack Black plays Christian and busy Phillips plays Anna.

VOICEOVER:

Now that would be interesting.

VOICEOVER:

Please italics, please bold.

VOICEOVER:

Please, please stop buying this book and reading it.

VOICEOVER:

Just stop.

VOICEOVER:

Read books that deserve this attention.

Chelsey Donn:

My goodness, Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

Oh wow.

Trey Gerrald:

What's there for you listening to

Chelsey Donn:

'I don't know.

Chelsey Donn:

Like so 'I in the middle of listening to this, 'I started being like, oh, 'I should

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I mean 'I know 'I 'I vaguely.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember that 'I took Shanice to school.

Chelsey Donn:

A' Little bit cuz 'I just felt like this was an opinion piece written as A' review.

Trey Gerrald:

Okay.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Shanice was really like damning this whole book that obviously was A' bestseller.

Chelsey Donn:

So there's somebody out there that really likes it, even if it's not

Chelsey Donn:

This stuck out 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know if it stuck out before, but the part about reading the emails,

Trey Gerrald:

No.

Chelsey Donn:

did 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

But is there like A' section of the book?

Chelsey Donn:

That's their emails back and forth.

Trey Gerrald:

Maybe

Chelsey Donn:

And then the other thing that popped out to me, which 'I was like actually

Trey Gerrald:

'I, mean 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Don't remem 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Just remem 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember us being obsessed with Shanice.

Trey Gerrald:

Because it is really ripe with personality.

Trey Gerrald:

'I love the opener as ha.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

The laughing at the top 'I was dying.

Trey Gerrald:

really fun.

Trey Gerrald:

And the laughing the ha's

Chelsey Donn:

The ha.

Trey Gerrald:

is really funny.

Chelsey Donn:

yeah, yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Agree.

Trey Gerrald:

'I am also struck.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm hearing in myself right now like 'I mean it's A' review, but it is very much not considering

Trey Gerrald:

this.

Trey Gerrald:

It's very clear that this person read Twilight and is coming in with A' bias.

Chelsey Donn:

It still sticks out as A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Very good.

Chelsey Donn:

Reads review.

Chelsey Donn:

There's something about the strong opinions that 'I think amongst the Good Reads community

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

Good reads.

Trey Gerrald:

Reviews.

Trey Gerrald:

Do feel like you're at A' pulpit and you're like giving A' lecture.

Trey Gerrald:

Like there is always an air that you are the expert.

Trey Gerrald:

Should we try to rate it right now or should we listen to what we think then?

Chelsey Donn:

feel like we should try to rate it now cuz 'I think 'I will be influenced.

Trey Gerrald:

Think 'I will be too.

Trey Gerrald:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

We're gonna try to tabulate right now based on 99 episodes later.

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating

VOICEOVER:

to A' school.

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't have half crowns at the time.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't think

Trey Gerrald:

Interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

Whoa.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm holding up two Trey's, holding up four.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know.

Chelsey Donn:

'I feel like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I would've been harsh because 'I would've felt like Shanice was, was just

Chelsey Donn:

So 'I went with two cuz we didn't have half.

Chelsey Donn:

If 'I was gonna do it today, 'I probably would be more of A' two and A' half

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah, I'm actually thinking maybe 'I don't mean four 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think what's there for me.

Trey Gerrald:

Like 'I appreciate that.

Trey Gerrald:

Um, Shanice is going strong, strong in their thoughts, which

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Like Shanice, like 'I think she's

Trey Gerrald:

Yes, but 'I don't know that Shanice ne necessarily represents what

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, is it common?

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't, 'I don't 'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like there's also this whole era or this, there's this whole phenomenon

Chelsey Donn:

Right.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Like are we just being irreverent?

Trey Gerrald:

So 'I think 'I might wanna change mine to three because 'I do kind of

Trey Gerrald:

Like 'I think it's kind of middle of the like.

Trey Gerrald:

It's just really strong A' personality, which is fun to

Chelsey Donn:

Right.

Chelsey Donn:

Agree.

Chelsey Donn:

But not every review that's fun to read is actually A', Review,

Trey Gerrald:

correct?

Trey Gerrald:

Correct.

Chelsey Donn:

Important distinction.

VOICEOVER:

Shanice came to play and she

Chelsey Donn:

'I said that

VOICEOVER:

to say, but like that is the review on like A' website.

VOICEOVER:

Like she, like that's an essay like that.

VOICEOVER:

If, if 'I was A' third grade teacher minus the F words, that's an essay.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, for sure.

VOICEOVER:

Could even be collegiate level 'I mean She, only did she, 'I, 'I just heard you reciting

VOICEOVER:

She's like, 'I overused.

VOICEOVER:

The italics, I'm aware.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Was A' Choice.

VOICEOVER:

It literally was like very small on the website and it's kind of long.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I had to like copy paste it and put it into A' Word document so that 'I could see it better.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I like erased all of the um, font formatting and then 'I had to go back and undo that

VOICEOVER:

So maybe Shanice is like an English teacher.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Where 'I sort of lose Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

Is her dogmatic approach.

VOICEOVER:

She's, you know, really speaking for all of us when really she

VOICEOVER:

Like personally, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think if Shanice was talking more about her personal preference and less about the absolutes.

VOICEOVER:

Like this doesn't have A' right to be made into A' movie.

VOICEOVER:

This doesn't have A' right to take place anywhere within literature.

VOICEOVER:

Not to mention within this genre, 'I feel like Shanice could have been A', Review, Queen.

VOICEOVER:

But the bias really pushed me, um, outside of that category for Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

Also, it it struck me that, you know, 'I didn't read this book.

VOICEOVER:

It did, it was A' cultural phenomenon, and it's about B D S M.

VOICEOVER:

So it's just interesting to bring up like, Why is this about B?

VOICEOVER:

Like if you aren't interested then like, like A' Different book.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Like, or just like, you know, go to Walmart.

VOICEOVER:

That aside 'I actually find this to be A' very valuable review because 'I

VOICEOVER:

And so there's A' lot of, um, attention to detail and it is like

VOICEOVER:

And so 'I imagine that they have A' high level of taste when it comes to other people's writing.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

'I agree.

VOICEOVER:

She's speaking in absolutes rather than personal opinions.

VOICEOVER:

Um, but that little shift aside, 'I, 'I feel like 'I feel warned, maybe

VOICEOVER:

Unless like you wanna just like stop and have A' Hardy laugh.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

Trey Gerrald:

but wait, 'I just have to contradict my past self because sh Shanice

Chelsey Donn:

that's right.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, we didn't, 'I don't even think we spoke about that cuz there was so much going on in the review.

Chelsey Donn:

'I didn't hear that either until the replay.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, good point.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like Shanice is the type of person that like just laughs all the time.

VOICEOVER:

Say what you will about Shanice and her opinions.

VOICEOVER:

But when you're around Shanice, you're gonna be laughing too because she just

VOICEOVER:

Think Shanice took this one step too far in speaking for everybody, but 'I think

VOICEOVER:

And we would be laughing too.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I do kind of think this was A' common experience.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think everyone knew that it was like based on fan fiction for another source

VOICEOVER:

'I think it, this is probably A' common experience, right?

VOICEOVER:

'I do.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I wonder, like, you know, if this would be A' deal breaker, like if 'I was somebody

VOICEOVER:

Don't think so.

VOICEOVER:

Especially if 'I was like on board for A' B D S M moment.

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

You know, she doesn't like that.

VOICEOVER:

She's not into that.

VOICEOVER:

But like you said, like you, you know, what do they say?

VOICEOVER:

You don't go to, you don't get milk at A' hardware store.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean like, you know what you're getting.

Trey Gerrald:

What

VOICEOVER:

going in for 50 shades of gray.

VOICEOVER:

Agreed.

VOICEOVER:

There's no gray area in what you are receiving.

VOICEOVER:

Zero gray in 50 shades of gray.

VOICEOVER:

Zero gray 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think we've been talking about this the whole time.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I, this is like thoroughly entertaining 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think it's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Very entertaining review.

VOICEOVER:

Definitely points for entertainment from me.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I, 'I don't feel persuaded either way, right?

VOICEOVER:

So that is interesting cuz 'I really like this Review 'I enjoy it.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I don't really know that there's any impact honestly, other than

VOICEOVER:

'I agree.

VOICEOVER:

'I think, um, 'I think that the impact wasn't, um, as impactful

Chelsey Donn:

Genius phrasing there.

VOICEOVER:

All right.

VOICEOVER:

'I, feel like we have enough information.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I think we do too.

VOICEOVER:

Are you ready to crown it?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, I'm ready.

VOICEOVER:

Let's

Trey Gerrald:

Do you remember what you did?

Chelsey Donn:

Didn't we like have A' whole conversation about like,

Chelsey Donn:

What are we gonna say?

Chelsey Donn:

Going into the crowning or whatever and 'I 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I just like said it and 'I said, yeah, let's Crown or something like that and,

VOICEOVER:

are

Trey Gerrald:

did?

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

then we ended up using that

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Wonder if I'm gonna have the same rating.

Chelsey Donn:

don't know, maybe 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I moved her up to A' three.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm gonna stick with my two though

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean we didn't do half

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't have half crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think there's A' possibility that the ChelseyBD of 2021 did A' three,

chelsey:

two

Trey Gerrald:

Let's see it.

Trey Gerrald:

The 'I, my memory of Shanice is much more affectionate than 'I feel at

Chelsey Donn:

think 'I like Shanice, but

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Like Shanice, but 'I, remember Shanice as like A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Really good review, which is interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

Okay, here

VOICEOVER:

You ready to show?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean Can 'I say 'I was like really tempted to break A' crown in half for this?

VOICEOVER:

Oh, we should discuss that.

VOICEOVER:

Should we be

Chelsey Donn:

you go.

VOICEOVER:

Should we have A'

Chelsey Donn:

Because 'I wanted to do two and A' half crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

'I bet.

Trey Gerrald:

Episode one.

Trey Gerrald:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

Listeners, if you have an opinion about that share?

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

You ready to show?

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

Chelsey Donn:

Three Crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

We both did

VOICEOVER:

A' tie.

VOICEOVER:

We both have three crowns.

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, you wanna, um, explain why you

Trey Gerrald:

And today you said two,

Chelsey Donn:

'I said two, but 'I said 'I wouldn't have been surprised if the

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I didn't know that 'I had said that.

Chelsey Donn:

So interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

Right.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I originally said four, but 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think after 'I spoke,

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

So we're still, we're pretty, we're pretty much the same as what we were,

VOICEOVER:

Yes, 'I voted for three cuz 'I gave Shanice high points on

VOICEOVER:

Where she lost me was her impact or influence her ability to sway people in one way or another.

VOICEOVER:

And also the bias, her personal bias, uh, based on her taste.

VOICEOVER:

So that was why 'I took away two points.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I kinda wanna like go get A' drink with Shanice, which is why 'I was

VOICEOVER:

How about you?

VOICEOVER:

Okay,

Chelsey Donn:

'I was gonna do three and A' half.

Chelsey Donn:

See?

VOICEOVER:

verbatim.

VOICEOVER:

Ditto because 'I feel like 'I want be friends with Shanice, but yeah, 'I mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I would need to read A'.

VOICEOVER:

Couple of more reviews to sort of get A' deeper.

VOICEOVER:

Feel.

VOICEOVER:

'I found this to be incredibly entertaining, um, which is why 'I was

VOICEOVER:

It was A' Pleasant Read and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Appreciate her attention to bold metallics and line spacing capitals, parentheticals.

VOICEOVER:

But ultimately, you know, uh, 'I, it's sort of middle of the road.

VOICEOVER:

Maybe 'I would break A' Crown too.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

If, if we were doing that, that's why 'I went with three crowns.

VOICEOVER:

A'.

VOICEOVER:

That was such A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good first entry.

VOICEOVER:

Try wait.

VOICEOVER:

A' really, really have the first review of Review That Review deliver on so many levels.

VOICEOVER:

I'm impressed.

VOICEOVER:

I'm honored to be your partner in Review Queen.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, sh.

VOICEOVER:

Um,

Chelsey Donn:

feel that way.

VOICEOVER:

but 'I think we do need like A', little bit of A' palette cleanse.

VOICEOVER:

Before we just dive into the second review, what do you think?

VOICEOVER:

'I Love that idea.

VOICEOVER:

So let's do A', quick little break.

VOICEOVER:

And then when we come back, we are gonna introduce you all to our fun game with Meryl Streep.

VOICEOVER:

Love it.

VOICEOVER:

Brb.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Wanna quickly just give A' little bit of like chat moment to Meryl and this is gonna

Chelsey Donn:

So Meryl came up because originally when Trey and 'I had conceptualized this show, we thought

Chelsey Donn:

And that would mean that like the entire Shanice review would've been read as like A' news anchor

Chelsey Donn:

And so we did actually record an episode where we did that and we are gonna be

Chelsey Donn:

But it's so funny and really wouldn't have done justice to the reviews if

Chelsey Donn:

But you know, this is what would've been so distracting.

Chelsey Donn:

But this is what happens when you are conceptualizing A' podcast.

Chelsey Donn:

You know, so funny.

VOICEOVER:

Now back to the show.

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD.

Chelsey Donn:

did it?

Chelsey Donn:

'I was like, are you gonna do

Trey Gerrald:

episode one.

VOICEOVER:

'I hated that.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't feel like an icon most of the days.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like 'I.

VOICEOVER:

can't!.

VOICEOVER:

That's with an

Chelsey Donn:

an A'.

VOICEOVER:

All right, here's the deal.

VOICEOVER:

Trey and 'I are each gonna pick A', rotten, scathing, pithy, One-Star-Zinger.

VOICEOVER:

And with 30 seconds on the clock, not A'.

VOICEOVER:

Second more we'll take turns.

VOICEOVER:

Trying to recite the zinger in as many genres as possible, just like Queen Merrill

Chelsey Donn:

'I 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Vaguely.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember that like you were having trouble 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know if it was in rehearsals or when it was, but like with the pithy copy,

Chelsey Donn:

And so that was when, when we

Trey Gerrald:

you had

Chelsey Donn:

then and there that like that was gonna be my section.

VOICEOVER:

by name

Trey Gerrald:

remember crafting the phrasing of that with

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

is two out five awful.

VOICEOVER:

And the

Chelsey Donn:

Wait, so 'I didn't even bring in A'.

Chelsey Donn:

One Star 'I brought in.

Chelsey Donn:

Wait, did 'I bring in A' two star for A'?

Chelsey Donn:

One-Star-Zinger.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

That's really funny.

Trey Gerrald:

'I didn't, 'I didn't catch that until you just said.

Chelsey Donn:

so funny.

VOICEOVER:

'I would rather pass A' Gallstone during A' Yani concert A'.

VOICEOVER:

All right, that's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Um, alright, that's, well that's what 'I gotta work with.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think you're gonna do great.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, here we we go.

VOICEOVER:

Three, Two,.

VOICEOVER:

One, GO!.

VOICEOVER:

VOICEOVER:

VOICEOVER:

Thank you.

Trey Gerrald:

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think it was 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think Meryl would be proud.

VOICEOVER:

How many was that?

VOICEOVER:

Six A'.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

'I can't even believe it.

VOICEOVER:

'I hope.

VOICEOVER:

Meryl would be proud.

VOICEOVER:

Chelsey Donn:

Meryl would be

VOICEOVER:

can't!

VOICEOVER:

cuz you're really good at this game.

VOICEOVER:

But no Trey.

VOICEOVER:

You're good.

VOICEOVER:

Who cares?

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

You did it too.

Trey Gerrald:

have it either.

VOICEOVER:

emoji that

Trey Gerrald:

Why were we

Trey Gerrald:

ha what?

Chelsey Donn:

we called the entire thing?

Chelsey Donn:

One-Star-Zinger.

Chelsey Donn:

We worked so hard to write that copy.

Chelsey Donn:

One star and we both brought in two.

Chelsey Donn:

That's crazy.

Chelsey Donn:

'I don't think we did that after this.

Chelsey Donn:

Like

Trey Gerrald:

like 'I was more intentional about one, one sentences, but literally

Chelsey Donn:

so crazy.

Chelsey Donn:

That's hilarious.

VOICEOVER:

He didn't laugh when 'I said that his mom was the capital of Jabi.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh God.

VOICEOVER:

All right, are you ready?

VOICEOVER:

'I am ready.

VOICEOVER:

Three,, Two,, One, GO!

VOICEOVER:

mime always start horror.

VOICEOVER:

He didn't laugh when 'I said that his mom was the capital of musical theater.

VOICEOVER:

He didn't laugh when 'I A'

VOICEOVER:

Televangelist, who didn't?

VOICEOVER:

When 'I said to his mama, 'I was A' capital of Disney.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, he didn't laugh when 'I said that his mom was A'.

VOICEOVER:

Capital of Chail.

VOICEOVER:

That's A' 'I.

VOICEOVER:

That's A'.

VOICEOVER:

That was like four or something.

VOICEOVER:

How many?

VOICEOVER:

No, it wasn't.

VOICEOVER:

It was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

VOICEOVER:

I'm really proud of you.

VOICEOVER:

You really are good at this.

VOICEOVER:

And so you deserve this round of

Chelsey Donn:

You were great.

Chelsey Donn:

You were always so hard on yourself.

VOICEOVER:

I'm honored.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I never really won anything growing up.

VOICEOVER:

So even, even 'I feel like you always win this.

VOICEOVER:

You're so good at this.

VOICEOVER:

Well, thank you 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Appreciate that.

VOICEOVER:

Yay.

VOICEOVER:

That was, uh, the Meryl-Go-Round

Trey Gerrald:

Same

VOICEOVER:

Review.

VOICEOVER:

That Review.

Trey Gerrald:

We didn't strap each other in

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't.

Chelsey Donn:

When did we start doing that?

Chelsey Donn:

'I wonder?

Chelsey Donn:

That just happened organically too.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember making A' graphic for it for the Instagram.

Trey Gerrald:

So 'I know it had something to do with Miley Cyrus.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think you

Chelsey Donn:

the wrecking ball?

Chelsey Donn:

That was the first one you mean

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think so.

Trey Gerrald:

Cuz then it was so

Chelsey Donn:

that we

Trey Gerrald:

'I could be wrong.

Trey Gerrald:

'I think.

Chelsey Donn:

you're right.

VOICEOVER:

My review is from Yelp.

VOICEOVER:

It is written by David s one star review of the Central Park Zoo, um,

VOICEOVER:

David s has written 38 other reviews and included nine photos.

VOICEOVER:

He did include two photos in, in his review of the Central Park Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

So without further ado, David s This is A' Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

Good luck seeing any animals.

VOICEOVER:

Unless you consider thousands of other tourists crammed elbow to elbow in this

VOICEOVER:

We saw part of A' bear's leg 'I, think maybe an arm.

VOICEOVER:

We saw some beautiful but dirty swans eating from A' grain dish, but they were pretty quickly

VOICEOVER:

That was fairly entertaining as Here's what would happen if you took A' beautiful

VOICEOVER:

It would get covered in A' layer of New York's scum, and some rats would eat its lunch.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Suppose this place is A' Zoo in the pejorative sense.

VOICEOVER:

Wait, is that what it's supposed to be?

VOICEOVER:

Is this some kind of A' sarcastic art installation,

Trey Gerrald:

Hmm.

Trey Gerrald:

What do you think of A' review?

Chelsey Donn:

Think it's funny.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, my memory's serving.

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't like David.

Chelsey Donn:

We thought he was like A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Little bit like broy with the pejorative and all of that.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I still kind of think that the whole tourist is animals and them not

Chelsey Donn:

'I don't know if 'I thought it was funny at the time, or

Trey Gerrald:

'I think it.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I do think it's

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Definitely think it's funny.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I think, what I'm feeling the most struck by is it feels like A' character

Trey Gerrald:

And the world is gonna be taking animals out of their natural environment.

Trey Gerrald:

So

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, that's

Trey Gerrald:

like, like it is sort of like, okay, so you don't like that the zoo exists in New York?

Trey Gerrald:

Like it's being

Trey Gerrald:

shady of

Chelsey Donn:

hilarious that he saw A' Bear's Leg and 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember that we put that on the cover part of A' Bear's leg.

Trey Gerrald:

God, that is really funny.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, do 'I 'I mean?

Trey Gerrald:

'I?

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like the value here is like, it's in Manhattan, so it's gonna be jam-packed.

Trey Gerrald:

Crazy 'I mean the deodorant thing.

Trey Gerrald:

Can we say that that's typical 'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean they're tourists.

Trey Gerrald:

So

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

What do you, what would you rate this today?

Chelsey Donn:

Mean.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think I'm gonna be higher than

Trey Gerrald:

Like what's the impact?

Chelsey Donn:

'I feel like the impact is that like this isn't like the San Diego Zoo.

Chelsey Donn:

It's not like A' huge zoo where you're going to see tons of exhibits.

Chelsey Donn:

Like you're gonna be lucky if you can see A', little bit of A' bear, which is like

Chelsey Donn:

Cuz there's not like that much space though.

Chelsey Donn:

Central Park is pretty big.

Trey Gerrald:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

Should we just crown it?

Chelsey Donn:

I'm gonna crown it.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Feel like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Wonder if this is gonna be higher than what 'I actually did, but here we go.

Trey Gerrald:

'I?

Trey Gerrald:

Have no idea what 'I did back

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating

VOICEOVER:

to the school.

Trey Gerrald:

Oh my

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

Hilarious.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so 'I, we, this is what happened the first time Trey's holding up

Chelsey Donn:

Like are we both waxing poetic on our first review selections and feeling like

Chelsey Donn:

And maybe 'I landed at A' three again in the end of this 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know why 'I went with four 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just think that like it's important to know what you're getting into.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I feel like David in A', funny way, explained, you know what we're up against.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Hear that.

Trey Gerrald:

'I have no recollection.

Trey Gerrald:

'I have no idea what 'I thought back then.

Trey Gerrald:

'I can see in the video that I'm smiling.

Trey Gerrald:

So 'I am entertained, which 'I think it is entertaining.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think the value like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Don't think you can say that.

Trey Gerrald:

That my experience, I'm gonna have smelly 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Non deodorant wearing tourists because it's like the tourists could be from

Trey Gerrald:

Don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm

Chelsey Donn:

Word Deodorant is plentiful.

Trey Gerrald:

also like 'I would love to just hear more about the actual layout, the experience like

Trey Gerrald:

Here we go.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, well first of all, great pick.

VOICEOVER:

Thanks.

VOICEOVER:

Um, I'm curious, do you happen to know if David s lives in New York?

VOICEOVER:

'I don't know if David s lives in New York, but 'I feel like no 'I wanna say

VOICEOVER:

'I just have A' question.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Why would you choose the Central Park Zoo when you could go to the Bronx Zoo?

VOICEOVER:

I'm with you.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean I've been to both zoos and to be Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Here we go.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

David s 'I don't think is very far off 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

When 'I went to the Central Park Zoo, 'I actually don't know if 'I did see A'.

VOICEOVER:

Like I've never actually thought about that, but A', lot of the like, things were closed.

VOICEOVER:

But honey, hearing this thing about is there no capacity hits in A' whole new way in 2021?

VOICEOVER:

No.

VOICEOVER:

'I know.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't know something.

VOICEOVER:

This is like, um, the 'I, this is just occurring to me so I'm sharing it.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, but something about this like, um, aren't 'I witty turn of the review

VOICEOVER:

'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, there are A'.

VOICEOVER:

Lot of things that were A' turn off about this.

VOICEOVER:

Let's just be clear that David s obviously has impeccable grammar.

VOICEOVER:

Um, he, he used ellipses properly and he also used words like pejorative.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I think maybe David s is like an s A' T tutor on the side.

VOICEOVER:

Maybe s A' t too.

Trey Gerrald:

Hilarious.

VOICEOVER:

he definitely has A' way with the pen.

VOICEOVER:

But that being said, there was A' sense of pretentiousness oozing off the page with David A'.

VOICEOVER:

There was A' sense 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I.

VOICEOVER:

I'm nodding an agreement.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Do you think that there's like value in this review 'I?

VOICEOVER:

Think maybe in the sense of, like you said, it's not the best zoo.

VOICEOVER:

Go to the Bronx Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

If you're gonna be in the area, this is like A' Zoo Light.

VOICEOVER:

So in that sense, 'I don't think he's misleading the reader.

VOICEOVER:

'I think it's right to keep expectations low.

VOICEOVER:

If you're gonna go to the Central Park Zoo, yes.

VOICEOVER:

But you do have to pay that admission fee.

VOICEOVER:

So it, it is A' Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

David s has A' point to be A' little upset about paying to go to A' Zoo and like maybe

VOICEOVER:

But also it's like pizza Rat.

VOICEOVER:

You know what 'I mean?

VOICEOVER:

Like rats are part of the experience, right?

VOICEOVER:

They're just there.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, they're just there.

VOICEOVER:

If you're gonna be in the city, you're gonna see rats.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think like this is probably somewhat typical.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Um, what's the entertainment value here?

VOICEOVER:

'I Don't

Trey Gerrald:

Literally just said the opposite.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Don't know.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like David was giving me A', little bit of Karen vibes with his like, judgmentalness, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I was somewhat entertained.

VOICEOVER:

'I wasn't knocked off my socks, he wasn't giving me laughter or anything like that.

VOICEOVER:

You know, like 'I think.

VOICEOVER:

That's what turned me off about the, um, the turn at the end about like,

VOICEOVER:

Like it just felt A' little like heavy handed 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Don't know,

Trey Gerrald:

interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel the

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah,

Chelsey Donn:

same.

VOICEOVER:

were being really clever, but 'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

That's kind of Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think definitely David s thinks A' lot of themselves 'I mean.

VOICEOVER:

And also is this some kind of sarcastic art installation?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I like unnecessary.

VOICEOVER:

It do.

VOICEOVER:

Although that would be A' really interesting.

VOICEOVER:

Like, um, performance art, like thesis, install A' Zoo and uh, let the actual patrons be the animals.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, that's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, that's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good point.

VOICEOVER:

But if we never had this into Park Zoo, we would never have the animated series Madagascar.

VOICEOVER:

Exactly.

VOICEOVER:

What do you think the impact of this review is?

VOICEOVER:

'I, if you were, uh, David S's grandmother, would you hang this on the fridge?

Chelsey Donn:

Oh, this is the first time we said this.

Chelsey Donn:

'I

Chelsey Donn:

think

Trey Gerrald:

but 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like we haven't said that in A' really

Chelsey Donn:

we haven't because at at one point on the website, 'I don't know if it's still there.

Chelsey Donn:

'I was like defining each of our like scientific breakdown in case people wanted

Chelsey Donn:

And when we were talking about like the overall impact, we did talk about would grandma hang on A'

Trey Gerrald:

I'm gonna bring that back.

Trey Gerrald:

'I like

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, it's true with those little like bunny sculptures that you can

VOICEOVER:

Love A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good bunny sculpture.

VOICEOVER:

'I can stick my face in 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Feel like I'm ready, like 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I can crown this right.

Chelsey Donn:

an Indian.

Chelsey Donn:

The A',

VOICEOVER:

'I think I'm ready.

VOICEOVER:

Let's crown it.

Trey Gerrald:

The same cards?

Chelsey Donn:

'I say three?

VOICEOVER:

A' school

Trey Gerrald:

No.

VOICEOVER:

A'

Chelsey Donn:

We were unanimous.

Chelsey Donn:

Again, it too Trey.

Chelsey Donn:

You were right at the top of the review.

Trey Gerrald:

so weird.

Chelsey Donn:

'I give them four?

Chelsey Donn:

That's so interesting.

Chelsey Donn:

We were totally unanimous.

Trey Gerrald:

still said too, but 'I think that 'I feel differently.

Trey Gerrald:

Like 'I was saying, it's not really entertaining, but today, 'I think it's very entertaining.

Trey Gerrald:

'I disregard the review because 'I think it's only entertainment.

Trey Gerrald:

But at the time, back then and the day, 'I thought they were really spelling out that

Trey Gerrald:

Which 'I don't think they're really spelling out 'I think they're being entertaining.

Chelsey Donn:

agree.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Also think like we've been hardened.

Chelsey Donn:

We've read A' lot.

Chelsey Donn:

If 'I found A', David s today, 'I would definitely be screenshotting and

Trey Gerrald:

'I was curious if this would be, what would this experience

Chelsey Donn:

yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I would've gone maybe 2.5 because 'I 'I think that.

Chelsey Donn:

crown.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

In terms of literacy and you know, being able to understand

VOICEOVER:

Sometimes you read reviews, they're just like the spelling's all over the place.

VOICEOVER:

The grammar's all over the place.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't understand what you're saying.

VOICEOVER:

'I do feel like 'I understood what David s was saying.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like it is probably A' fair assessment.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean there's lots of tourists.

VOICEOVER:

I'm sure you know, people walking around the city all day, walking around the park.

VOICEOVER:

I'm sure they do smell.

VOICEOVER:

Um, I'm sure 'I can expect to probably only see A' leg, an arm, um, the top of

VOICEOVER:

So 'I did feel like he was being truthful in his experience.

VOICEOVER:

'I took, you know, A' few crowns away from him because 'I felt like he was A'.

VOICEOVER:

Little bit Swarmy, A' little bit into himself and 'I wanted to knock him down.

VOICEOVER:

A' few pegs, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

So that was why 'I ultimately came to two crowns.

VOICEOVER:

How about you?

VOICEOVER:

You know, generally the 'I think there's value in the fact that like someone wasn't impressed

VOICEOVER:

All the hordes of people is sort of like, uh, is that for real?

VOICEOVER:

And 'I 'I wasn't very entertained.

VOICEOVER:

And um, so for that reason, 'I just 'I gave it two, two crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

You were A' little.

Chelsey Donn:

You were harsh

VOICEOVER:

did

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

But the same score, but for different reasons.

Trey Gerrald:

That is

Chelsey Donn:

for different reasons.

Chelsey Donn:

'I know it is 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember obsessing when 'I was listening back to the recording because 'I, remember when 'I

Chelsey Donn:

And so 'I said something kind of like in between the two.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I remember thinking, is everyone gonna think I'm an idiot?

Chelsey Donn:

Cuz 'I didn't know it was smarmy.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Mean 'I still haven't even clocked if that you were in between two different

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

That's funny.

Trey Gerrald:

'I also, remember in the beginning of the process it was, it was very much like you're A' little

Chelsey Donn:

No, but 'I think we sort of like traded off

Trey Gerrald:

'I think

Chelsey Donn:

sometimes 'I was the

Trey Gerrald:

each other.

Chelsey Donn:

you were the Paula.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

But also remember in the beginning, was it um, A' ham and cheese Sandwich?

Trey Gerrald:

of him and Cheese A' lot today.

Chelsey Donn:

'I know we haven't talked about ham and cheese in A' while, but 'I remember

Chelsey Donn:

Right?

Chelsey Donn:

Like they were like throwing things because, so maybe this was one of those

Trey Gerrald:

yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

David has said that to me too.

Trey Gerrald:

Like he doesn't always agree with us

Chelsey Donn:

'I Love

VOICEOVER:

That you think is deserving of A' five star review.

VOICEOVER:

Who are you inducting for?

VOICEOVER:

My, Royal, Highness.

VOICEOVER:

I'm gonna go A'.

VOICEOVER:

Little bit unusual with my inductee and I'm gonna induct whoever created this app called 'I am.

VOICEOVER:

It's an affirmations app and it's just really nice.

VOICEOVER:

It's A'.

VOICEOVER:

It's A' great part of my day.

VOICEOVER:

Whenever I'm feeling down 'I, just get A' little alert on my phone like 'I am worth it.

VOICEOVER:

'I am able to accomplish what 'I want to and 'I have A' problem with affirmations

VOICEOVER:

'I have to come up with the affirmations and then 'I have to remember to say them.

VOICEOVER:

And so if you're someone who is interested in doing affirmations, but not quite sure

VOICEOVER:

This is not an ad, but download this app, 'I Am because they do all the

VOICEOVER:

All the dopamine and whatever benefits of the affirmations.

VOICEOVER:

So thank you to the inventor.

VOICEOVER:

'I should figure out who it is of the 'I Am app.

VOICEOVER:

I'm always grateful when there's somebody that uses this platform for good.

VOICEOVER:

Thank you.

VOICEOVER:

'I am.

VOICEOVER:

That's 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Love that.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, so we all have to download the 'I Am app.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Not an ad though.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Um, okay, so My, Royal, Highness,

Trey Gerrald:

my God.

Trey Gerrald:

We used to do two.

VOICEOVER:

uh,

Chelsey Donn:

Oh yeah,

Trey Gerrald:

to both induct

Chelsey Donn:

we used to both.

Chelsey Donn:

That was so much work.

VOICEOVER:

there was this really sweet, older lady, her name was Carol.

VOICEOVER:

And like, to be honest, she's probably in her like late seventies.

VOICEOVER:

She was tasked with, um, wiping down all of the shopping carts when you walk in.

VOICEOVER:

So she was like the greeter and she was really lovely and sweet.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I came in and she asked me how 'I was doing, and she called me Sugar and she

VOICEOVER:

And then on my way out, 'I, um, had too much stuff, so 'I had to get A' larger cart.

VOICEOVER:

And so 'I went up to Carroll and she said, oh, you underestimated.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I had to go to the shopping, like to the parking lot.

VOICEOVER:

And um, so 'I was like, can 'I take this out, like to the parking structure?

VOICEOVER:

And she was like, you can do whatever you want, sweetie.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I was, you know, anyway, my whole point here is in this time of sort of

VOICEOVER:

Carol really made my day and who knows what her like story is, what her experience is,

VOICEOVER:

And Carol, whoever you are, you had an impact on me.

VOICEOVER:

And so for that you are My, Royal Highness, induct D for this week.

VOICEOVER:

Yay.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember Carol,

VOICEOVER:

Congratulations Carol.

VOICEOVER:

It seems like well deserved and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Hope you do get some stock in home goods.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel that too.

Trey Gerrald:

Well 'I think cuz we 'I think underneath everything.

Trey Gerrald:

For both of us, we've realized now was like A', little bit of nervousness.

Trey Gerrald:

Also just being A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Little unsure 'I mean we were new 'I mean the experience of 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Mean.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like for rating this review that's really present to me is like 'I

Chelsey Donn:

So much.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean I'm, I'm happy 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

There is A' part of me that is sort of like nostalgic for those really long

Chelsey Donn:

We get to focus on just the one Well you're editing, but yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I do like the new format.

Chelsey Donn:

A' lot better.

Chelsey Donn:

'I do.

Chelsey Donn:

There's A' part of me that still Mrs.

Chelsey Donn:

Merrill 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I forever.

Chelsey Donn:

Will

Trey Gerrald:

But we have her every fourth after show.

Chelsey Donn:

we do have her on the after show?

Chelsey Donn:

That's true.

Chelsey Donn:

That is true.

Chelsey Donn:

But, um, 'I don't know.

Chelsey Donn:

You know what, 'I wasn't like as embarrassed as 'I thought.

Chelsey Donn:

'I would be

Trey Gerrald:

Same 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Really thought 'I would be more embarrassed.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

So that's good.

Chelsey Donn:

You know, we're always looking back on ourselves, feeling like you just

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I feel like for two kids just getting started.

Chelsey Donn:

We were, we did pretty well.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like, um, protective of those people, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Me too.

Trey Gerrald:

like 'I, 'I thought 'I would be laughing at them more

Chelsey Donn:

Me too.

Chelsey Donn:

Or like what an idiot.

Trey Gerrald:

Even for how much is different.

Trey Gerrald:

Like so much of it really is the same.

Trey Gerrald:

Like the backbone is totally the same.

Chelsey Donn:

it's true.

Trey Gerrald:

think we've just loosened into it.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I think the stuff that works like is sort of what we've streamlined after

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I really think we kept, we kept the best of everything.

Chelsey Donn:

And, and like you were saying at the top of this in terms of like, what have you

Chelsey Donn:

'I, 'I think that that is really evident and true in what we just watched.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I don't feel ashamed of what we created from the top of this, but 'I do recognize that

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I really like where we're at now.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

But speaking of like being embarrassed, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

We do have the after show.

Trey Gerrald:

Chelsey Donn:

God.

Chelsey Donn:

Chelsey Donn:

'I said four.

Trey Gerrald:

'I do feel like we could have just like gotten there quicker.

Trey Gerrald:

'I have criticisms.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know if 'I would've kept listening, to be honest.

Chelsey Donn:

Really?

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I just feel like it's A' little like we were asking A', lot of the audience.

Trey Gerrald:

Why did you say four?

Chelsey Donn:

'I said for Cuz.

Chelsey Donn:

'I do feel like we are better now and 'I wanna like leave that room for the best episode ever.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I don't think that it was the best episode ever.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I do think that like for A', first try out of the gate.

Chelsey Donn:

You and 'I not having worked together, A' in this capacity outside of A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Couple of rehearsals, and this was really A' feedback that 'I heard

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of my friends, which 'I was grateful for, was that you and 'I were worked so great

Chelsey Donn:

And you know, our dynamic, which 'I think has, has obviously gotten stronger over the
