TREY GERRALD:

of course.

CHELSEY DONN:

into A' puddle with A', nice raincoat, fully protected from the rain

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah, Donn don't want A'.

TREY GERRALD:

'I don't want to be in the rain.

TREY GERRALD:

B, if I'm in A', like A', slicker, that's because 'I don't have an umbrella, which is just terrible.

Today, ChelseyBD and 'I are going to both be covering A' one star and A'

TREY GERRALD:

And aren't you lucky listeners?

TREY GERRALD:

To today's topic is the Los Angeles matchmaking service, the real matchmaker.

CHELSEY DONN:

That's right.

CHELSEY DONN:

Will the real matchmaker please step up?

CHELSEY DONN:

That's right.

CHELSEY DONN:

Ugh, same page.

CHELSEY DONN:

All right.

CHELSEY DONN:

For this versus episode Trey, you have selected the five star and 'I have selected the one star.

CHELSEY DONN:

So to determine who reads first, we gotta flip that quota and 'I believe it's my turn.

CHELSEY DONN:

Diva, right?

CHELSEY DONN:

All right, so I'm gonna go with heads.

CHELSEY DONN:

Woo and 'I want A' chicken dinner.

TREY GERRALD:

Wait, this is our third episode in A' Row, where the five

CHELSEY DONN:

Well, you know, sometimes that's just the way the tides turn my friend.

TREY GERRALD:

So let me tell you A' little bit about the real Matchmaker 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

At the time of this recording, the Real Matchmaker has 48 reviews on Yelp, and their

TREY GERRALD:

So according to the website, 'I did A', lot of scouring.

TREY GERRALD:

So the Real Matchmaker was actually A' established as A' company in 2010, and

TREY GERRALD:

Beautiful.

TREY GERRALD:

All of those

CHELSEY DONN:

the above.

CHELSEY DONN:

Sound good.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I

TREY GERRALD:

Yes.

TREY GERRALD:

Right.

TREY GERRALD:

So here we go.

TREY GERRALD:

According to the, from the business section on Yelp, 'I pulled all of these quotes.

TREY GERRALD:

Imagine A' personal dating assistant doing all of the heavy lifting for you.

CHELSEY DONN:

Sounds

TREY GERRALD:

our personal introductions method, we have three effective ways to help you.

TREY GERRALD:

Meet someone special.

TREY GERRALD:

We match.

TREY GERRALD:

We mingle with you and we recruit on your behalf.

TREY GERRALD:

'I am committed to keeping my eyes peeled wherever 'I go with their 90 days to love

TREY GERRALD:

And clever flirting techniques,

CHELSEY DONN:

So clever.

TREY GERRALD:

have worked effectively to attract high quality partners.

TREY GERRALD:

So no matter what experience you've had before, by working with someone who truly

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah, they got some typos in there.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I saw that as well.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I saw that as well when 'I was looking at the Yelp page.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay.

TREY GERRALD:

Yes.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay.

TREY GERRALD:

So, all right.

TREY GERRALD:

And then 'I also, this is not on the out page, but on their actual website, they have A' new

TREY GERRALD:

So all this sounds so good.

TREY GERRALD:

So with all this background in mind, why don't we go ahead and jump deep into the cool, refreshing

CHELSEY DONN:

No puddles.

VOICEOVER:

Review, That, Review.

CHELSEY DONN:

All right.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I am the one star review today, so 'I will be bringing the negative aspect

CHELSEY DONN:

My review is written by Barry S, so here we go.

CHELSEY DONN:

Jessie Kay couldn't match up A' pair of socks coming out of the dryer.

CHELSEY DONN:

It all started with A' bait and switch 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

And it kept going downhill from there.

CHELSEY DONN:

She presented me with A' Pretty girl At our first meeting that 'I never got to meet.

TREY GERRALD:

mm-hmm.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I spent thousands of dollars and the awful matches just kept on coming.

CHELSEY DONN:

There was A' girl with no job.

CHELSEY DONN:

A' Gold, Digger A'.

CHELSEY DONN:

Two-faced, liar, A' live at home, mama's girl.

CHELSEY DONN:

You name it, Jessie matches you up with them.

CHELSEY DONN:

She puts out internet ads, talks with the trash that comes rolling in and

CHELSEY DONN:

She blames it on the city, you and everything else she can think of, excluding her inability

CHELSEY DONN:

I've had better luck on OkCupid and P o f.

CHELSEY DONN:

So save your money and hope.

CHELSEY DONN:

Don't give Jessie Kay A' dime.

CHELSEY DONN:

You'll meet no one A' value, integrity, or kindness.

CHELSEY DONN:

And save the thousands you're gonna spend on $300 dinners.

CHELSEY DONN:

Her dates will choose the restaurants for Jessie Kay is A', sham, and A' fraud.

CHELSEY DONN:

If you don't believe me, Give her A' call and allow her to woo you into A' dating Nightmare.

TREY GERRALD:

Whoa.

TREY GERRALD:

'I have A'.

TREY GERRALD:

Tremendous amount of notes based on what Barry is saying.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay, so 'I recognize 'I just was like swimming in seas of five stars.

TREY GERRALD:

But 'I have no skin in this game.

TREY GERRALD:

'I don't know what 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Think about matchmaking.

TREY GERRALD:

'I kind.

CHELSEY DONN:

married at how?

CHELSEY DONN:

How old?

TREY GERRALD:

'I was 29 when we got married, but 'I was 24 when we met.

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah, so.

TREY GERRALD:

But 'I just sort of come from A' thought of like, sure, like 'I, believe

TREY GERRALD:

Like that's what 'I think, but

CHELSEY DONN:

going in.

CHELSEY DONN:

You feel like as the consumer, you know, it's A' gamble and A' risk.

TREY GERRALD:

'I mean?

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Feel like there is some kids met.

TREY GERRALD:

There is some like serendipitous events like or even Bacher.

TREY GERRALD:

It's sort of magical to meet A' person you're gonna be with the rest of your

TREY GERRALD:

But Okay.

TREY GERRALD:

So I'm sort of coming into this sort of like 'I, don't think I'm on the side of matchmakers.

TREY GERRALD:

'I will present the five star, but 'I think that's not presenting.

TREY GERRALD:

A'.

TREY GERRALD:

Binance here.

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD:

I'm just hearing from Barry.

TREY GERRALD:

Barry seems very unlikable Barry is coming across.

TREY GERRALD:

In my opinion, they say that this matchmaker will never be able to find you.

TREY GERRALD:

Anyone that's kind and 'I think there's nothing kind.

TREY GERRALD:

In Barry's voice, Barry says that the women that were presented to him are trash.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay.

TREY GERRALD:

That seems.

TREY GERRALD:

Horrible.

TREY GERRALD:

You're literally calling humans trash.

TREY GERRALD:

You refer to someone as A' little mommy's girl and you like point out

TREY GERRALD:

Like, okay, maybe that's not A' match.

TREY GERRALD:

And maybe for you, ideally, and maybe you're paying A' service because

TREY GERRALD:

'I think the point I'm resonating with from Barry is that they have spent A' lot of money.

TREY GERRALD:

They feel like they've been duped and they feel like they've had multiple examples

CHELSEY DONN:

Right.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay?

TREY GERRALD:

You can say that without calling people Trash.

TREY GERRALD:

'I don't know, but, but 'I want to break it down more, but 'I am just off the top first.

TREY GERRALD:

Listen, 'I, think Barry's an asshole.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I got A'.

CHELSEY DONN:

Very similar impression when 'I first read this review as well, which is one of

CHELSEY DONN:

'I think that Barry does sort of seem like A' jerk.

CHELSEY DONN:

I'm just pulling up A' picture for Patreon or anyone watching of Barry.

CHELSEY DONN:

He has A', little bit of A' douche face.

CHELSEY DONN:

Not to be like

TREY GERRALD:

'I imagined this in my mind, hard to

CHELSEY DONN:

Hard to please.

CHELSEY DONN:

So,

TREY GERRALD:

A'.

TREY GERRALD:

Really interesting thing because if you are in the business of pleasing clients, what

TREY GERRALD:

Like you're trying to not find duds.

TREY GERRALD:

What if you happen to have A' dud as A' client?

TREY GERRALD:

Because maybe Barry is the problem.

TREY GERRALD:

It's not the candidates.

CHELSEY DONN:

Well, if you're Patty Stenger, then you kick him out of the Millionaire Match Club,

TREY GERRALD:

All right, well there you

CHELSEY DONN:

whatever it is.

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Do love off the top.

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Think it's so hilarious.

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Just think the first sentence, could it match A' pair of socks in the dryer?

TREY GERRALD:

That is so funny.

CHELSEY DONN:

it

TREY GERRALD:

it was downhill from there.

CHELSEY DONN:

exactly.

CHELSEY DONN:

You know, that's what 'I was.

CHELSEY DONN:

Think 'I was most disappointed with this review

TREY GERRALD:

'I Am disappointed.

TREY GERRALD:

Yes,

CHELSEY DONN:

'I read 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Strong start.

CHELSEY DONN:

We got humor like we're coming for it.

CHELSEY DONN:

And then from there we just like Donn don't know.

CHELSEY DONN:

It was like 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Think that there are points here.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I really do 'I believe that like there is A' possibility that Jesse Kay 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Really like sells you in the pitch meeting and is like showing you photos of girls that she

CHELSEY DONN:

Do believe maybe we're like selling something at the top that we're not delivering.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I can definitely see that someone might be disheartened or disappointed by this.

CHELSEY DONN:

That's why if 'I was gonna go to A' Matchmaker, 'I feel like 'I wouldn't

CHELSEY DONN:

I'd wanna find like A' A' Jewish woman from like A' Shtetl.

CHELSEY DONN:

That's gonna set me up.

CHELSEY DONN:

You know, 'I, imagine it's really hard to upkeep that, right?

CHELSEY DONN:

Like the more clients you have coming in, then the more people you have to match, then the

CHELSEY DONN:

That's difficult.

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

It does seem like it is A' profession of diminishing returns because presumably

TREY GERRALD:

How do you guarantee that you can promise results?

TREY GERRALD:

Like that seems A' little intangible to me.

CHELSEY DONN:

right,

TREY GERRALD:

But what if you have these excellent candidates and they do happen to match, well, then

TREY GERRALD:

It's like, it just seems very hard to guarantee.

CHELSEY DONN:

Right, exactly.

CHELSEY DONN:

And 'I don't really know that Jesse Kay is guaranteeing 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Think that what Jesse Kay, at least in the like blurbs that we read, seems like Jesse's

CHELSEY DONN:

How do, how you to like open up your heart chakra and put A' little bit of

TREY GERRALD:

Right.

TREY GERRALD:

Well, the internet ads thing, 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Think I've just gone on A' rollercoaster quietly over here on my side cuz 'I 'I was thinking what?

TREY GERRALD:

Like you're making like Facebook ads about Barry and then 'I was like, oh, it's probably

CHELSEY DONN:

It's not for Barry.

TREY GERRALD:

Well, how else are you gonna scout?

TREY GERRALD:

People like 'I, 'I don't think it's negative to run internet ads.

TREY GERRALD:

And if that seems skeezy to you, then you need to find A' different service that has

CHELSEY DONN:

'I definitely think that the message is muddied because

CHELSEY DONN:

At the end of the day, what's interesting is that 18 people did find this useful.

CHELSEY DONN:

Nine people found it funny, and five people found it.

CHELSEY DONN:

Cool.

CHELSEY DONN:

So people are interacting with this review 'I,

TREY GERRALD:

Well, 'I do think that there are points like you're pointing to here.

TREY GERRALD:

It is like, okay, let me have my antenna raised.

TREY GERRALD:

Like is it A'?

TREY GERRALD:

Little bait and switchy.

CHELSEY DONN:

Right,

TREY GERRALD:

But then 'I just,

CHELSEY DONN:

but 'I think what?

CHELSEY DONN:

What like bodes well almost for Jesse Kay is that like 'I totally buy that.

CHELSEY DONN:

Barry could be A' very difficult person to please 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

'I mean he presented the review at how he

CHELSEY DONN:

They didn't give us anything that was positive in this review

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD:

A' real positive, like maybe the only positive 'I can sort of pull from

TREY GERRALD:

It's like, if you don't believe me, 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Call and allow yourself to be manipulated.

TREY GERRALD:

Like there was something like it, it was like finally he was letting off the gas A' little

TREY GERRALD:

But it was still unpleasant.

TREY GERRALD:

It just really co and, okay.

TREY GERRALD:

Can we, can we pull out from this, like, can 'I sort of remove my, maybe Barry is so.

TREY GERRALD:

Coming across so upset and angry and like gross to me because they're so disappointed.

TREY GERRALD:

But, but then 'I can't, you can't call women trash.

TREY GERRALD:

Like in what world do you think that, like what, like, are you, like it just is so unattractive.

TREY GERRALD:

Like you can't do that.

TREY GERRALD:

Like how do people not 'I, how do non-performance based human beings

TREY GERRALD:

You're being assessed and looked at, like, it's so baffling to me that like you are

TREY GERRALD:

Like, like 'I it, it,

CHELSEY DONN:

But there's just not that level of self-awareness.

CHELSEY DONN:

That's it.

TREY GERRALD:

Well, you're never gonna find, you're never gonna find it, Barry,

TREY GERRALD:

You, you gotta work on yourself, brother.

TREY GERRALD:

Like, get it together.

TREY GERRALD:

I'm angry.

TREY GERRALD:

I'm mad.

TREY GERRALD:

And 'I don't even, I'm not 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Don't even

CHELSEY DONN:

'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Completely agree.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I think that really what you're responding to is the trash and the no job.

CHELSEY DONN:

The gold digger.

CHELSEY DONN:

The two-faced liar.

CHELSEY DONN:

The live at home mama's girl.

CHELSEY DONN:

Like if Barry weren't Barry and Barry were looking at Barry, what would be

CHELSEY DONN:

That's A'.

CHELSEY DONN:

Lot of Barry's

TREY GERRALD:

That's interesting.

TREY GERRALD:

Well, doesn't Barry also point out like they're comparing this to being inferior

CHELSEY DONN:

of fish.

TREY GERRALD:

and the other one, did they

CHELSEY DONN:

OkCupid,

TREY GERRALD:

Right.

TREY GERRALD:

So it's like, okay, so now we know that Barry has failed at other opportunities.

TREY GERRALD:

So I'm seeing A' pattern,

CHELSEY DONN:

that's true.

TREY GERRALD:

but also back to this theme about love is slippery.

TREY GERRALD:

It's hard, like even Barry aside, there will be someone for Barry, even

TREY GERRALD:

So it's like it just takes time.

TREY GERRALD:

Why are you being so angry?

TREY GERRALD:

'I mean 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Guess 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Understand cuz you're paying for A' service so you are expecting A' result.

TREY GERRALD:

But if the results can be slippery, you can't go on one date and meet your wife.

TREY GERRALD:

Like maybe you could, but like that's A' crazy reality.

TREY GERRALD:

Barry is saying in black and white on this review that this matchmaking service will

CHELSEY DONN:

Which is messed up.

TREY GERRALD:

You are out of your mind like 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Wanna know if you're gonna give me $300 as the money you're throwing down?

TREY GERRALD:

Tell me how many effing dates you went on.

TREY GERRALD:

Tell me how many women you met.

TREY GERRALD:

Tell me how many people you passed on.

TREY GERRALD:

Like 'I am so mad at Barry.

TREY GERRALD:

Oh, why am 'I 'I am so upset?

TREY GERRALD:

'I?

TREY GERRALD:

Don't

CHELSEY DONN:

'I, 'I, get it, you know, in your anger, 'I feel like I'm sort of like

CHELSEY DONN:

And is it that Jesse Kay is A' woman, that he is sort of looping

CHELSEY DONN:

Falling into one of these categories that he's pointed out, like the gold digger,

CHELSEY DONN:

Like, is he seeing Jesse as like A' gold digger schemer?

CHELSEY DONN:

Because that's the only way he's Yeah.

CHELSEY DONN:

Who's, that's the only way that he's able to categorize women 'I mean.

CHELSEY DONN:

Maybe 'I 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Don't know that there are many male matchmakers out there, but 'I wonder if Barry would, you

CHELSEY DONN:

Maybe Barry really has A' problem taking any kind of authority or like accepting women

TREY GERRALD:

that's interesting.

TREY GERRALD:

It's an interesting parallel.

CHELSEY DONN:

Right 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Think we're both sufficiently annoyed.

CHELSEY DONN:

Spelling and grammar is solid.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Think we can go ahead and move forward with the crowning?

CHELSEY DONN:

What do you think

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah, let's just, let's crown and then we

CHELSEY DONN:

we can discuss?

CHELSEY DONN:

Yes,

TREY GERRALD:

So ChelseyBD and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.

TREY GERRALD:

In an effort to be fair and not influenced by one another, we will simultaneously reveal our rating.

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating

VOICEOVER:

tow school.

CHELSEY DONN:

Oh, Queens are unanimous.

CHELSEY DONN:

One and A' Half Crowns one and A' half crowns straight.

CHELSEY DONN:

You go first.

CHELSEY DONN:

Why?

CHELSEY DONN:

One and A' half crowns for Barry ass.

TREY GERRALD:

'I think it's just sort of reiterating my question

TREY GERRALD:

It's sort of like maybe they can facilitate, maybe they can coach, maybe they can 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

You know, present A' roster of possibilities to you.

TREY GERRALD:

But like at the end of the day, like you have to sort of, there has to be magic and 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Don't know if someone can create that other than like the self-work you've done in yourself

TREY GERRALD:

The warning flags are there, but my, the ultimate impact for me is like 'I,

TREY GERRALD:

God bless Barry.

CHELSEY DONN:

bless Barry's matches.

TREY GERRALD:

The humor 'I, mean 'I sort of said A' Half Crown because it started really

TREY GERRALD:

So like 'I don't think there's much there.

TREY GERRALD:

'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Think it's equally truthful and shady.

TREY GERRALD:

And ultimately I'm just upset.

TREY GERRALD:

Why did you say one and A' half

CHELSEY DONN:

Similar 'I went with just like the amusement, especially at the top,

CHELSEY DONN:

A', little bit of my antenna is up.

CHELSEY DONN:

Like maybe 'I shouldn't get so excited in that.

CHELSEY DONN:

First meeting with Jesse Kay.

CHELSEY DONN:

Just do A' little bit more research.

CHELSEY DONN:

So for that reason one and A' Half Crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

But as we said, 'I don't really believe that Barry S is A' reliable narrator.

CHELSEY DONN:

And that to me is the most important aspect of A' review.

CHELSEY DONN:

So 'I couldn't give more than one and A' half crowns for Barry.

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah, 'I hear that.

TREY GERRALD:

It really is interesting to me.

VOICEOVER:

There is A' reply.

CHELSEY DONN:

There's A' reply.

CHELSEY DONN:

Okay, this reply is from Jessie Kay herself.

CHELSEY DONN:

Here we go.

TREY GERRALD:

Oh, I'm scared.

CHELSEY DONN:

In the 19 years I've been A' Matchmaker, 'I, I've learned that single

CHELSEY DONN:

While I've helped many people through those struggles, there are some who just don't wish to

CHELSEY DONN:

'I sent Barry out on dates with over 10 attractive women.

CHELSEY DONN:

He approved first, yet he managed to find fault with most of them.

CHELSEY DONN:

Dating is A' numbers.

CHELSEY DONN:

Game and chemistry is A'.

CHELSEY DONN:

Funny thing that most of us can't quite put our finger

TREY GERRALD:

Oh my God.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I was looking for love for Barry and it is always

CHELSEY DONN:

Really care for Barry and 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Wish him all the love and success in the world.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I sincerely, hope he finds what he's looking for out there.

TREY GERRALD:

Wait, just off the top.

TREY GERRALD:

'I am so obsessed that Jesse does not address Barry at.

TREY GERRALD:

Oh, this is not Dear Barry.

TREY GERRALD:

This is not, I'm sorry you felt this way.

TREY GERRALD:

There is no apology.

TREY GERRALD:

It is literally to the people that are perusing these reviews.

TREY GERRALD:

'I just want you to hear some fucking statistics.

TREY GERRALD:

Motherfucker and 'I want you to know Barry approved all these fucking

TREY GERRALD:

We were just.

TREY GERRALD:

Fucking talking about there is magic here that you cannot account for.

TREY GERRALD:

And wait.

TREY GERRALD:

Now I'm even more obsessed with Jesse because Jesse says 'I was looking for

TREY GERRALD:

That's being very crystal clear.

TREY GERRALD:

It's like I'm obsessed with Jesse.

TREY GERRALD:

Oh my

CHELSEY DONN:

'I know.

TREY GERRALD:

won me over

CHELSEY DONN:

'I like Jesse's reply, A' lot 'I really like the tenor.

CHELSEY DONN:

They didn't punch down on Barry.

TREY GERRALD:

at all.

CHELSEY DONN:

information.

CHELSEY DONN:

But even in the end, like, you know, 'I, like how they didn't refer to them

TREY GERRALD:

No, they ignored it.

CHELSEY DONN:

said, 'I really care for Barry 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Wish you know all the love and success in the world.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I hope he finds what he's looking for out there.

CHELSEY DONN:

Like this is what 'I did.

CHELSEY DONN:

It's so queenly, it was.

CHELSEY DONN:

It was written five days after the review was written, so Jessie Kay got to it within A' week.

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah.

CHELSEY DONN:

She took an exhale, but she addressed it right away.

TREY GERRALD:

is like 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

The most beautiful reply like it is so expertly 'I, am so obsessed that

CHELSEY DONN:

feels like A' therapy response

TREY GERRALD:

mean, it's like this makes this one star so valuable.

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah, like really flipped it on its head.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I mean we talk about this every time we have A' reply, but it makes all the difference because

TREY GERRALD:

Okay, but wait devil's advocate, since we know that Barry is the devil.

TREY GERRALD:

Now, Barry does say that Jesse is very skilled at A' bait and switch, and allow yourself to be wooed

CHELSEY DONN:

yeah,

TREY GERRALD:

Jesse positions himself back in A' Place of power with expertise.

TREY GERRALD:

So it's like approaching you as the expert, which we like.

TREY GERRALD:

It makes us

CHELSEY DONN:

We did like, it did make me feel comfortable,

TREY GERRALD:

Still comparing the two 'I would much rather be in the energy

TREY GERRALD:

It's just such A' perfect response that literally 'I feel like it would be A' loss

CHELSEY DONN:

And also because like obviously we both crowned Berry A' one and A' Half Crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

Like even if the bait and switch message is true, it's not getting across 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Because of everything else that was in that review.

CHELSEY DONN:

That is the problem with not compliment sandwiching and not saying anything

TREY GERRALD:

You create A' reality.

TREY GERRALD:

Yeah.

CHELSEY DONN:

I'm not gonna get on board with you

TREY GERRALD:

Mm-hmm.

CHELSEY DONN:

for saying that.

TREY GERRALD:

Mm-hmm.

CHELSEY DONN:

So because of that, even if the bait and switch message was accurate,

CHELSEY DONN:

Maybe I'm falling under the spell of Jesse Kay.

CHELSEY DONN:

But 'I do like the reply

TREY GERRALD:

'I like it too.

TREY GERRALD:

'I think it's really skillful and honestly it is.

TREY GERRALD:

Like many of the points we talked about, like that doesn't feel bait and switchy to me.

TREY GERRALD:

If Jesse is pointing out, look, 'I have experience in this, and 'I recognize like people 'I.

TREY GERRALD:

Have lots of hangups in the world of dating and so 'I can sort of hold up A' mirror 'I

TREY GERRALD:

I'm buying it.

TREY GERRALD:

I'm

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah, I'm buying A' two.

CHELSEY DONN:

I'm buying what Jesse K is selling and also, even though it's sort of outside

CHELSEY DONN:

Jesse K does have A' 4.5 overall, you know, if we were reading this interaction and

CHELSEY DONN:

Little bit more like Jesse Kay is like.

CHELSEY DONN:

Very skilled at manipulating or whatever, but 'I don't feel like that's the case when 'I mean.

CHELSEY DONN:

You're, we're gonna talk about your five star review in the after show,

CHELSEY DONN:

So 'I don't really have that reflection.

CHELSEY DONN:

But 'I can say that if 'I went to this page and 'I saw there was A' 4.5 overall,

CHELSEY DONN:

Little bit better about moving forward.

TREY GERRALD:

Wait, can we crown ChelseyBD?

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah.

CHELSEY DONN:

I'm ready.

CHELSEY DONN:

Are you ready?

TREY GERRALD:

let's do it.

CHELSEY DONN:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Total Score.

CHELSEY DONN:

Interesting.

CHELSEY DONN:

Okay, so I'm holding up four crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

Trey is holding up five crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

Trey, you go first.

CHELSEY DONN:

Why did you make Jesse k.

CHELSEY DONN:

A'?

CHELSEY DONN:

Review.

CHELSEY DONN:

Queen.

TREY GERRALD:

Well, 'I actually wanted to do four and A' half, but 'I thought you would

TREY GERRALD:

But 'I don't know what else 'I really would want Jessie to do because 'I

TREY GERRALD:

'I think it's so beautiful to just like, not even

CHELSEY DONN:

Not even address him.

TREY GERRALD:

Barry and 'I also really value the statistics.

TREY GERRALD:

It, it, it made me feel more back on, uh, Jesse's side.

TREY GERRALD:

That's the point of

CHELSEY DONN:

That's the point.

TREY GERRALD:

why did you say four

CHELSEY DONN:

So funny cuz 'I think we both really influenced each other because 'I had

CHELSEY DONN:

And did she kind of put A' spell on me by really A'.

CHELSEY DONN:

Establishing herself as A' professional.

CHELSEY DONN:

And that's the only reason why 'I went with four crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I really wanted to go with five, but you did.

CHELSEY DONN:

You just planted that seed in my, my head and 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I wanted to leave A' tiny space for am 'I being manipulated here.

CHELSEY DONN:

But 'I really don't think that 'I am 'I.

CHELSEY DONN:

Think that Jessie Kay did A' really good job of taking back the reins of her business

CHELSEY DONN:

So looking forward to hearing that five star review and four Crowns for being nearly A', Review

CHELSEY DONN:

So good job, Jesse Kay.

TREY GERRALD:

You wanna take A' break?

TREY GERRALD:

Let's take A'.

TREY GERRALD:

Quick break.

TREY GERRALD:

All right.

TREY GERRALD:

CHELSEY DONN:

Oh, shoot.

CHELSEY DONN:

CHELSEY DONN:

All right.

CHELSEY DONN:

It is game time Trey.

CHELSEY DONN:

Get yourself ready.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I have made A' custom game for Trey, and you, our listeners, be sure to play along.

CHELSEY DONN:

This game is called, Were they matched or were they not matched?

CHELSEY DONN:

So you're gonna say yes, they were matched, or no, they were not matched.

CHELSEY DONN:

I'm gonna give you two celebrities and you are gonna tell me whether they have dated,

CHELSEY DONN:

Ryan Reynolds and Alana Morissette did date.

They met at Drew Barrymore's birthday party in 2002 and would announce

CHELSEY DONN:

Their engagement lasted for three years until they publicly broke it off.

CHELSEY DONN:

Isn't that crazy?

CHELSEY DONN:

No, they didn't date 'I.
