TREY: 00:00:30

Hi.

CHELSEY: 00:00:31

Hello.

CHELSEY: 00:00:32

I love pretending like I'm Natalie at the end of the riff and I can do that.

CHELSEY: 00:00:35

So fun.

TREY: 00:00:36

With your little wagging finger.

CHELSEY: 00:00:38

TREY: 00:00:41

Welcome to Review That Review the podcast dedicated to reviewing...

CHELSEY: 00:00:46

reviews!

CHELSEY: 00:00:47

We're just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we

TREY: 00:00:58

That's Chelsey Donn,

CHELSEY: 00:00:59

and that's Trey Gerrald,

TREY: 00:01:01

VOICEOVER: 00:01:03

TREY: 00:01:08

CHELSEY: 00:01:14

We can't do what we do.

CHELSEY: 00:01:15

We can't have a podcast without listeners like you, so thank you.

TREY: 00:01:19

That's true.

TREY: 00:01:19

It'd be really sad otherwise.

TREY: 00:01:22

Very beautifully said, my Queen.

CHELSEY: 00:01:24

Oh, thank you!

TREY: 00:01:40

That is right.

TREY: 00:01:42

So today we get to announce who the winner is of our rate and review raffle.

CHELSEY: 00:01:50

Oh my God.

CHELSEY: 00:01:50

But guess what?

CHELSEY: 00:01:52

We entered all the names for our listeners who left us reviews.

CHELSEY: 00:01:56

And instead of selecting just one,

TREY: 00:01:59

Yall, we selected two because you got two review queen hosts.

TREY: 00:02:03

So you gotta get two review queen winners.

CHELSEY: 00:02:06

That's right.

CHELSEY: 00:02:06

We both got our golden tickets and we both assign those.

CHELSEY: 00:02:10

And then they'll also be receiving this ballpoint pen.

CHELSEY: 00:02:49

Lovely.

TREY: 00:02:49

And it also is coated in some like antibacterial thing!

CHELSEY: 00:02:53

UGH!

CHELSEY: 00:02:53

Bonus!!

TREY: 00:02:55

Bonus!

TREY: 00:02:56

And then we're also going to throw in a coffee mug.

TREY: 00:02:58

As a surprise.

CHELSEY: 00:02:59

Oh My God!

CHELSEY: 00:03:00

Look at that we are full of surprises.

CHELSEY: 00:03:03

Maybe even like a little personal note from the Queens.

CHELSEY: 00:03:07

Possible.

TREY: 00:03:07

Yeah.

TREY: 00:03:07

Some, um, nudies, some Nudie Judy's

CHELSEY: 00:03:10

I'm...

CHELSEY: 00:03:11

Trey.

CHELSEY: 00:03:11

We'll be sending you nudes.

CHELSEY: 00:03:12

I will send you some chicken noodle soup.

TREY: 00:03:15

I didn't say it would be our nudes.

CHELSEY: 00:03:18

Oh, good point.

CHELSEY: 00:03:19

Good point.

CHELSEY: 00:03:19

Okay.

TREY: 00:03:20

Wow.

TREY: 00:03:21

Okay.

TREY: 00:03:21

But in all seriousness, thank you, everyone who participated, We really do appreciate

TREY: 00:03:27

We appreciate you.

CHELSEY: 00:03:28

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:03:29

Thank you guys so much for those amazing five-star reviews.

CHELSEY: 00:03:33

Keep them coming.

CHELSEY: 00:03:34

We have something else in the wings.

CHELSEY: 00:03:35

Don't you worry!

TREY: 00:03:36

Don't cha worry.

TREY: 00:03:37

So Chels-Chels.

CHELSEY: 00:03:38

Yes.

TREY: 00:03:39

How's your week been my queen?

CHELSEY: 00:03:42

It's been good.

CHELSEY: 00:03:42

I'm still in, you know, full puppy mode over here.

CHELSEY: 00:03:47

So that keeps me busy most of the time, but I just wanted to let our listeners know in

TREY: 00:03:54

Yes, I was!

TREY: 00:03:55

I've been worried.

CHELSEY: 00:03:55

I know.

CHELSEY: 00:03:56

I know we were all kind of worried about that.

CHELSEY: 00:03:58

So I have a new plan, it's just the first step.

CHELSEY: 00:04:02

It's not like gonna take me to the finish line, but if anyone ever like

TREY: 00:04:10

Oh, I love that.

CHELSEY: 00:04:11

Right.

CHELSEY: 00:04:12

Isn't that a good plan?

CHELSEY: 00:04:13

So it's like, would you like some water?

CHELSEY: 00:04:15

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:04:16

The answer has to be yes.

TREY: 00:04:18

I really love that.

TREY: 00:04:19

How did you find, like, come up with that idea?

CHELSEY: 00:04:21

Somebody asked me for a water and I was like, this might be the

CHELSEY: 00:04:28

And for that request, I shall say, "Thank you.

CHELSEY: 00:04:32

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:04:32

I would love a glass of water."

TREY: 00:04:34

Wait, I literally thought you were going to be like, well, I read this book about

CHELSEY: 00:04:42

Somebody asked me.

CHELSEY: 00:04:43

And in that very moment, I was just like here and now for as long as I can

CHELSEY: 00:04:53

cause they're just trying to help me out.

CHELSEY: 00:04:54

Or maybe they're like secretly like, oh, she looks really dehydrated and I should take the hint.

TREY: 00:04:59

I love that.

CHELSEY: 00:05:00

So that was the lesson of the week for me.

CHELSEY: 00:05:02

What did you learn any lessons this week, Trey?

TREY: 00:05:04

That's a really great phrasing.

TREY: 00:05:05

I learned a lot of lessons this week.

TREY: 00:05:08

My sister gave birth to her second child.

CHELSEY: 00:05:14

So cute.

CHELSEY: 00:05:14

I saw a picture.

TREY: 00:05:15

Miles was born.

TREY: 00:05:17

And so I flew down to Charlotte, North Carolina, so I could be with my family and help with...

TREY: 00:05:24

actually the day that we are recording this as the day before her other child's second birthday.

CHELSEY: 00:05:30

Oh!

TREY: 00:05:31

Yeah.

TREY: 00:05:31

So

CHELSEY: 00:05:32

I'm so glad that that worked out.

TREY: 00:05:34

Me too.

CHELSEY: 00:05:35

They have their own birthdays.

TREY: 00:05:36

I know!

CHELSEY: 00:05:37

The last thing your sis...

CHELSEY: 00:05:38

and your sister's birthday is also around this time.

TREY: 00:05:41

My Mom's.

TREY: 00:05:41

Yes.

TREY: 00:05:41

Good job.

CHELSEY: 00:05:42

Oh, your mom.

TREY: 00:05:43

We talked about this in an early episode.

TREY: 00:05:44

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:05:45

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:05:45

I remember.

CHELSEY: 00:05:46

See, I'm listening.

TREY: 00:05:47

I appreciate that.

TREY: 00:05:48

I really learned a lot about how amazing the human body is truly.

TREY: 00:05:51

It is.

TREY: 00:05:52

Childbirth is remarkable and amazing and, you know, just unconditional

TREY: 00:05:58

Really is spectacular.

TREY: 00:05:59

And I'll tell ya, temper tantrums are also spectacular.

TREY: 00:06:03

I didn't have that many.

TREY: 00:06:04

Elliot's a wonderful child, actually.

TREY: 00:06:05

Some anyway, so okay.

CHELSEY: 00:06:08

But, when they do happen, you're kind of like, I get it.

CHELSEY: 00:06:10

You're lodging a complaint.

CHELSEY: 00:06:11

I hear you.

TREY: 00:06:12

Speaking of, you want to, um,

VOICEOVER: 00:06:14

Lodge A Complaint!

TREY: 00:06:15

Chels Chels?

CHELSEY: 00:06:17

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:06:17

I always have to have my temper tantrum at the beginning of every one of our shows.

CHELSEY: 00:06:22

And I'm going to have a temper tantrum right now.

CHELSEY: 00:06:24

I know I, I always offer up invention ideas.

CHELSEY: 00:06:28

I hope that all of a sudden, we get a plethora of inventors listening

CHELSEY: 00:06:33

Like maybe this is like Magic Eraser level realness right here.

CHELSEY: 00:06:37

But like, can somebody make furniture stub-proof?

CHELSEY: 00:06:41

Like, is that just a thing we could do?

TREY: 00:06:43

Oh my God.

CHELSEY: 00:06:44

I, the amount of times I stubbed my toe, like when I, when I got Goldie my

CHELSEY: 00:06:53

And so my body is just very used to certain furniture being in

CHELSEY: 00:06:59

So the amount of times that I stub my toe on an average week is just, it's taking

CHELSEY: 00:07:08

Y'all, it's painful.

CHELSEY: 00:07:11

And I just want somebody to help me out and we can baby proof things.

CHELSEY: 00:07:16

You know, we've made so much progress in so many areas.

CHELSEY: 00:07:18

Can we stub proof stuff?

TREY: 00:07:21

You know, that David broke his toe.

CHELSEY: 00:07:24

Stubbing?

TREY: 00:07:25

Stubbing his toe.

TREY: 00:07:26

the weekend of the lockdown of the pandemic.

TREY: 00:07:29

And he was, it wasn't furniture though.

TREY: 00:07:31

It was like the laundry door was sort of a jar...

CHELSEY: 00:07:35

Oh, that's a stub!

TREY: 00:07:35

And he stubbed the toe and it broke.

CHELSEY: 00:07:37

Oh my goodness.

CHELSEY: 00:07:39

See, it's terrible.

CHELSEY: 00:07:40

I mean, I think we all experience this.

CHELSEY: 00:07:43

nobody is doing a walk for the stubbed toe victims.

CHELSEY: 00:07:46

You know what I mean?

CHELSEY: 00:07:47

Like,

TREY: 00:07:48

There's no Federation for them.

CHELSEY: 00:07:49

There's nothing.

TREY: 00:07:50

But I'm glad you're giving a voice to that.

TREY: 00:07:51

Stubbing your toe is similar to like a paper cut.

TREY: 00:07:54

It's like so stupid and little, but so excrusiating.

CHELSEY: 00:07:57

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:07:58

And even though it doesn't last, like God-willing like all that long, unless you break a toe,

TREY: 00:08:09

How would you design furniture to be unstubbable?

CHELSEY: 00:08:12

Thought about this a lot.

CHELSEY: 00:08:13

Cuz I thought, Trey might ask me for some suggestions, for the people that are listening.

CHELSEY: 00:08:19

I feel like it'd be nice if everything could be covered in like a down pillow.

CHELSEY: 00:08:25

You know what I mean?

CHELSEY: 00:08:26

Like, without it looking like really heinous.

TREY: 00:08:28

My first visual is just like, uh, like fluff marshmallows on every corner.

CHELSEY: 00:08:33

Yeah, exactly.

CHELSEY: 00:08:34

Like if every corner of furniture could just have a fluff marshmallow on it, I

CHELSEY: 00:08:42

So just the thought for those inventors out there, I'm lodging a complaint against

TREY: 00:08:51

That's good.

TREY: 00:08:52

I hear you.

TREY: 00:08:52

I hear you.

TREY: 00:08:53

And that is.

TREY: 00:08:54

I hear you.

CHELSEY: 00:08:57

Thank you.

CHELSEY: 00:08:58

I feel heard.

CHELSEY: 00:08:59

I do.

CHELSEY: 00:09:00

All right, Trey tell us you lodgin?

TREY: 00:09:02

All right.

TREY: 00:09:03

So I, I feel like the air travel comes up often when we're lodging a complaint, but

TREY: 00:09:19

And then everyone like rushes down, they unclick.

TREY: 00:09:23

Yes.

TREY: 00:09:23

They're unclicking and everyone jumps up.

TREY: 00:09:25

My complaint is when people are in rows behind you, but they're pushing to get out

TREY: 00:09:34

And it's like, you're like behind my row.

TREY: 00:09:37

It's the same thing with people crowding around the luggage carousel,

CHELSEY: 00:09:43

Oh, really?

CHELSEY: 00:09:44

Is that true?

CHELSEY: 00:09:44

Is it like, does this not happen in other countries?

TREY: 00:09:46

Yeah.

TREY: 00:09:47

It's not, like Europeans don't have that societal...

CHELSEY: 00:09:51

...aggression?

TREY: 00:09:52

I guess, um, right.

TREY: 00:09:54

They're all eating eclares, but, and then it's also the same thing about like, when

CHELSEY: 00:10:06

There's an order of events here and it involves me leaving and then you entering,

TREY: 00:10:11

But I, um, the older I get the less polite I'm becoming, like, I'm

TREY: 00:10:17

So these two ladies, like they were behind me and, you know, I was like, get

TREY: 00:10:23

And so I was like, "excuse me, can I please get out?"

CHELSEY: 00:10:27

Oh, geez.

TREY: 00:10:28

And I said it before I realized I had said it.

CHELSEY: 00:10:31

Right.

CHELSEY: 00:10:31

It came out aggressive.

CHELSEY: 00:10:32

And then you're like, oof, I have to match that.

TREY: 00:10:34

But.

TREY: 00:10:35

Go screw yourself.

TREY: 00:10:36

Like, what are you doing?

TREY: 00:10:38

Like, and also it makes me mad because I walk very fast.

TREY: 00:10:42

I'm always in a rush.

TREY: 00:10:44

Like it's like a thing from, I think being bullied for being gay in middle school.

TREY: 00:10:48

Like I'm always, I'm head down, I'm walking really fast.

TREY: 00:10:52

So like, I know I'm going to pass you when we get out of the airplane.

CHELSEY: 00:10:56

Right.

TREY: 00:10:56

So like, don't try to pass me.

TREY: 00:10:58

Anyway.

CHELSEY: 00:10:59

Right?

CHELSEY: 00:10:59

Like you're not a slow mover.

CHELSEY: 00:11:01

Like sometimes you find a slow mover every once in a while on a plane.

CHELSEY: 00:11:04

And they'll say, go ahead, because they know they're going to take a minute.

CHELSEY: 00:11:07

That's a dangerous move in my opinion.

CHELSEY: 00:11:10

Because like, when does the go ahead stop?

CHELSEY: 00:11:11

Unless you really don't care.

CHELSEY: 00:11:13

If you're the last one off the plane, then by all means.

TREY: 00:11:15

Okay.

TREY: 00:11:15

But that also really stresses me out.

TREY: 00:11:17

You know?

TREY: 00:11:18

Like I know that like, uh, people that need special assistance, they have to

CHELSEY: 00:11:24

Sure.

TREY: 00:11:25

But sometimes I'll notice people that don't seem like they seem like

TREY: 00:11:30

And that stresses me out.

TREY: 00:11:32

Like the opposite end of the spectrum.

TREY: 00:11:33

Like I got to get off this plane, but like, I'm going to let you go before me.

CHELSEY: 00:11:38

Yeah, I was gonna say, Cause then are you like, oh, all of a sudden

CHELSEY: 00:11:43

Do I stop at row seven to let them go?

CHELSEY: 00:11:45

Or do I keep going?

CHELSEY: 00:11:46

Cause you don't want to be a hypocrite.

TREY: 00:11:47

So like, I hate that I'm even going to say this, but I have flown

CHELSEY: 00:11:53

Sure.

TREY: 00:11:54

And that's the worst when you are like row three.

TREY: 00:11:57

And like the people from the main cabin are like rushing into like beat you off the plane.

TREY: 00:12:05

I hate that I even said that.

TREY: 00:12:07

Um, anyway, that's my complaint.

TREY: 00:12:09

It's just once again, just please, like everyone be considerate.

TREY: 00:12:13

Like what does it cost you to let the person stand up?

TREY: 00:12:18

Pull their bag out of the thing.

TREY: 00:12:20

I often will just travel with a book bag.that's under the seat in front of me.

TREY: 00:12:24

So I don't even have stuff above often.

CHELSEY: 00:12:26

So you can just get out.

TREY: 00:12:27

So it's like, what does it cost you to wait six seconds?

CHELSEY: 00:12:30

I get it.

CHELSEY: 00:12:31

You're like, you're like, I'm not in the hall in the like thingy, like

TREY: 00:12:36

I'm not going to take a long time, honey bunches.

CHELSEY: 00:12:38

Right.

TREY: 00:12:38

Okay, so you better just shut up.

TREY: 00:12:40

You better stand there and you better let me get out.

TREY: 00:12:42

Okay.

TREY: 00:12:42

Cause if you don't, I'm going to say, excuse me, can I please get out?

TREY: 00:12:47

And then I'm going to be like, oh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, I'm turning into that Mama Chihuahua thing.

CHELSEY: 00:12:52

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:12:53

It's okay.

CHELSEY: 00:12:53

Everyone has that moment.

CHELSEY: 00:12:55

I totally get it.

CHELSEY: 00:12:56

I also think that the airport brings out the worst in people.

CHELSEY: 00:13:00

Like whatever is your thing that makes you annoying your worst at the airport.

TREY: 00:13:06

Yeah.

TREY: 00:13:06

Cause it happens before like getting on the plane and they're going in zones and it's

CHELSEY: 00:13:14

And they're standing in front of you and you're like, excuse me ma'am can you please

CHELSEY: 00:13:22

They'll call yours in a half hour.

TREY: 00:13:25

Yes.

TREY: 00:13:25

So that's my verbal complaint.

TREY: 00:13:27

Thank you for hearing me out.

TREY: 00:13:28

I feel, I feel lighter.

TREY: 00:13:30

And so now I want to take on some heavy hitting written complaints.

TREY: 00:13:35

How about you, Chels?

CHELSEY: 00:13:36

I think it is time for us to take some heavy hits.

CHELSEY: 00:13:40

So as you guys know, Trey and I are your trustee Review Queens, we

TREY: 00:13:46

we dissect the nitty gritty.

CHELSEY: 00:13:48

And then we rate them on a scale from one to five crowns.

CHELSEY: 00:13:52

It's a very Regal process that we call

VOICEOVER: 00:13:56

Assess That Kvetch!

TREY: 00:13:57

And guess what listeners, you know, because we have titles, but today we

CHELSEY: 00:14:06

That's right!

CHELSEY: 00:14:07

It's another special edition episode!

CHELSEY: 00:14:12

Whoop Whoop!

TREY: 00:14:13

Today.

TREY: 00:14:13

We're going to cover a one-star and a five-star review on the same topic in an

TREY: 00:14:27

In the middle

CHELSEY: 00:14:28

That's right.

CHELSEY: 00:14:29

For this versus episode, I selected the five-star and Trey selected the one-star.

CHELSEY: 00:14:35

So to determine who reads first, we got to flip that quarter.

TREY: 00:14:39

So I called it last time.

TREY: 00:14:40

So you call it.

TREY: 00:14:41

this time.

CHELSEY: 00:14:41

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:14:41

I'll call it.

CHELSEY: 00:14:42

Okay.

TREY: 00:14:43

Okay you ready?

TREY: 00:14:44

And go.

CHELSEY: 00:14:44

I'm ready.

CHELSEY: 00:14:45

Heads!

TREY: 00:14:46

It's heads.

CHELSEY: 00:14:48

I'm so good at this game.

CHELSEY: 00:14:49

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:14:49

That was the second time in a row that I guess correctly.

TREY: 00:14:52

And here we go.

TREY: 00:14:52

We're going to do five first, which is interesting.

CHELSEY: 00:14:54

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:14:54

We're going to do five first!

VOICEOVER: 00:14:58

Review That Review.

CHELSEY: 00:15:02

All righty.

CHELSEY: 00:15:03

My review today is a five-star review from Yelp.

CHELSEY: 00:15:07

It is written by Corrina R, sorry.

CHELSEY: 00:15:11

I'm wrong.

CHELSEY: 00:15:12

It is written by, sorry.

CHELSEY: 00:15:16

I just misread it is written by Karin R.

CHELSEY: 00:15:21

Who is an elite reviewer.

TREY: 00:15:24

Tell us Chelsey, what is the subject of today's episode?

CHELSEY: 00:15:28

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:15:29

So the subject of today's episode of vs is clowns.com.

CHELSEY: 00:15:37

Yep.

CHELSEY: 00:15:37

clowns.com.

CHELSEY: 00:15:38

Trey, you want to tell the listeners a little bit about the service.

TREY: 00:15:42

Sure.

TREY: 00:15:42

I, yes I do.

TREY: 00:15:43

So, so clowns.com or as Yelp calls it, Clowns.

TREY: 00:15:48

Is a clown party, equipment rental magician entertainment company.

TREY: 00:15:55

It's located in New York.

TREY: 00:15:58

This is a company that you can hire to bring delight, joy and fun to your

CHELSEY: 00:16:08

Very good synopsis, love that.

CHELSEY: 00:16:10

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:16:10

So without further ado, Karin R uh, this is our five-star review of clowns.com.

CHELSEY: 00:16:17

So a few weeks back, I got suckered into accompanying a friend and her little

CHELSEY: 00:16:25

Not going to lie.

CHELSEY: 00:16:26

I was dreading it.

CHELSEY: 00:16:28

Who wants to go to a child's birthday party when they themselves have no children?

CHELSEY: 00:16:36

Let me also add that I, myself work with children, so chilling with them

CHELSEY: 00:16:46

So as we are approaching the party, my friend says, by the way, there are going

CHELSEY: 00:16:54

Fantastic.

CHELSEY: 00:16:57

But really.

CHELSEY: 00:16:58

It was awesome.

CHELSEY: 00:17:01

Mila and Sean were so engaging and silly, so fun and so sweet with the kids.

CHELSEY: 00:17:08

And they did an incredible job keeping the flow moving naturally from the way they

CHELSEY: 00:17:23

Without hesitation, if I ever have the need to hire entertainment myself, or if I could

CHELSEY: 00:17:36

And I would tell tell to request Mila and Sean.

CHELSEY: 00:17:41

Thanks guys for making it a fun time for all.

TREY: 00:17:48

Karin!

TREY: 00:17:48

I have a lot of questions.

CHELSEY: 00:17:50

Okay, let's...I'm, I'm ready.

TREY: 00:17:52

It's very interesting to me that Karin was a guest.

CHELSEY: 00:17:55

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:17:55

Me too.

TREY: 00:17:56

And left a review.

CHELSEY: 00:17:57

Yes.

TREY: 00:17:58

What do you think about that?

CHELSEY: 00:17:59

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:18:00

Here are my thoughts.

CHELSEY: 00:18:01

I did think about that but let's remember this: Karin is an elite Yelp reviewer.

CHELSEY: 00:18:06

So I think that Karin is the type of person that anytime she goes anywhere, not only

CHELSEY: 00:18:19

And so for that reason, I feel like it is appropriate that Karin,

TREY: 00:18:26

Incredibly said.

TREY: 00:18:28

You just totally swayed me on that.

TREY: 00:18:29

Okay.

TREY: 00:18:30

So it's very interesting to me.

TREY: 00:18:31

This is, um, I'm planting a seed here, it's interesting that this reviewer has mentioned

TREY: 00:18:52

You know, if this is a major company, they have a roster of entertainters...

TREY: 00:18:55

entertainers.

CHELSEY: 00:18:56

"Enter-taint-ers!"

TREY: 00:18:58

That's like a drag queen thing.

TREY: 00:19:01

So, I'm glad that Mila and Sean were highlighted for being so excellent.

TREY: 00:19:05

I also did write down flow.

TREY: 00:19:07

That Karin really pointed out that they were excellent at keeping the

TREY: 00:19:15

And so, you know, I imagined Karin has an acute awareness of what it takes to

CHELSEY: 00:19:23

Yeah!

TREY: 00:19:24

So I appreciated that.

CHELSEY: 00:19:25

Yeah, I liked all the details that she gave us.

CHELSEY: 00:19:27

What I thought was so funny about this review, to me, was like, it was almost like we got

CHELSEY: 00:19:38

I was like, oh, maybe they like made a mistake and they put five stars cause she was really

CHELSEY: 00:19:49

Great.

CHELSEY: 00:19:50

You know?

CHELSEY: 00:19:51

And then she just pivoted to like how awesome it was.

TREY: 00:19:54

I appreciate that.

TREY: 00:19:55

Cause I think like, except I think I would have the opposite reaction.

TREY: 00:19:59

Like I don't need to be around children, but if there were children in entertainment, I would,

CHELSEY: 00:20:04

Then you would be into it?

TREY: 00:20:05

I mean, the word fantastic that was in the review would be serious to me

TREY: 00:20:14

I want to see this Elsa.

TREY: 00:20:16

I want to see how committed she is to letting it go.

TREY: 00:20:19

Like I would be into that.

TREY: 00:20:20

I love balloon animals.

TREY: 00:20:22

I love magic.

TREY: 00:20:23

Like I would totally be into that.

CHELSEY: 00:20:24

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:20:24

I want to point out oddly enough, for some reason, everywhere else in this

CHELSEY: 00:20:33

We have ellipses, we have all capital letters.

CHELSEY: 00:20:36

We have exclamation points.

CHELSEY: 00:20:38

Fantastic is written on its own line without exclamation point.

CHELSEY: 00:20:43

So truly left up to the reader, I guess.

CHELSEY: 00:20:46

It's literally just the word.

CHELSEY: 00:20:47

Fantastic.

CHELSEY: 00:20:49

No exclamation point, no question mark.

CHELSEY: 00:20:51

No period.

CHELSEY: 00:20:52

No ellipses.

TREY: 00:20:53

Interesting.

CHELSEY: 00:20:53

No written hints, but I assumed that we were still in the part of the review

CHELSEY: 00:21:01

And that, cause she says, but really it ,was awesome.

CHELSEY: 00:21:05

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:21:06

It was great.

CHELSEY: 00:21:06

It felt like,

TREY: 00:21:07

I think you read that right.

TREY: 00:21:09

I mean, it feels correct.

CHELSEY: 00:21:10

Yeah, I think She was, truly surprised by her own.

TREY: 00:21:15

delight.

CHELSEY: 00:21:16

Delight.

CHELSEY: 00:21:16

At what she experienced.

TREY: 00:21:18

So, do we think that Karin is being truthful here?

TREY: 00:21:20

Because it did occur to me.

TREY: 00:21:22

Is this like the owner's friend?

CHELSEY: 00:21:24

I have that thought for a second, because like I said, it felt like almost set up

CHELSEY: 00:21:35

Like, it did feel like all of a sudden we went from like this grounded,

CHELSEY: 00:21:44

a little.

CHELSEY: 00:21:44

Right?

CHELSEY: 00:21:45

Like I would, without hesitation, like I ever need to hire entertainment.

CHELSEY: 00:21:50

So.

TREY: 00:21:51

Yeah.

TREY: 00:21:51

And they, Karin mentions Mila and Shawn twice by name,

CHELSEY: 00:21:56

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:21:57

However, every five star review that I read referenced the people

CHELSEY: 00:22:05

I did remember that there were a few names I saw consistently like, oh wow,

TREY: 00:22:10

This happened to me today.

TREY: 00:22:11

Randomly.

TREY: 00:22:12

I went to get a haircut and I needed to find a place to go.

TREY: 00:22:16

And at the end I asked for her card and it was the person's name that

CHELSEY: 00:22:20

There you go!

TREY: 00:22:21

I don't think there's much humor here, but it doesn't really matter.

TREY: 00:22:24

I mean, we are talking about clowns, which are pretty silly, so I would

CHELSEY: 00:22:30

Yeah, but I think Karin takes her job very seriously.

CHELSEY: 00:22:33

I will say like, maybe it wasn't the most ha ha ha ha funny, like Shenice that started

TREY: 00:22:47

Correct, yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:22:48

And backstory that like she's, I would say a middle aged person that is of

CHELSEY: 00:22:57

Right?

CHELSEY: 00:22:58

We learned that

TREY: 00:23:00

I love when you do this,

CHELSEY: 00:23:01

What?

TREY: 00:23:01

I love when you create a whole backstory.

TREY: 00:23:03

That's my favorite.

TREY: 00:23:04

Honestly.

CHELSEY: 00:23:05

If I was like in intelligence and I was breaking down this review,

CHELSEY: 00:23:10

Cause I mean, instill until we had the one error where she said.

CHELSEY: 00:23:14

In the end.

CHELSEY: 00:23:15

And I just, I always read it, you know, the way that it's written, she says I

CHELSEY: 00:23:21

And I would tell tell to request Mila and Sean.

CHELSEY: 00:23:26

That was like one error, but other than that, like everything was sort of

TREY: 00:23:34

When you read that, I thought the tale tell heart.

TREY: 00:23:37

That's like how I, I didn't even think that it was T E L L T E L L like the, they put the word twice.

CHELSEY: 00:23:42

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:23:42

They put the word.

CHELSEY: 00:23:43

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:23:43

Like

TREY: 00:23:44

I have an opinion here, but I'm going to mention it in the crowning.

CHELSEY: 00:23:47

I'll just say quickly in terms, because this is a versus the episode.

CHELSEY: 00:23:52

I do wish that there was a part of this review that had talked about the process of

CHELSEY: 00:24:12

I think I'm ready to crown.

TREY: 00:24:14

Yeah, I think so too.

TREY: 00:24:15

Let's do it.

CHELSEY: 00:24:16

Okay.

TREY: 00:24:16

All right.

TREY: 00:24:16

So Chelsey and I each have our own set of one to five crown cards.

TREY: 00:24:20

In an effort to be fair and not influenced by one another.

TREY: 00:24:23

We will simultaneously review reveal our rating.

CHELSEY: 00:24:27

Oh my god.

CHELSEY: 00:24:29

Okay.

VOICEOVER: 00:24:31

The Queens are Tabulating.

TREY: 00:24:33

You ready?

CHELSEY: 00:24:34

I need a minute, I need my half!

TREY: 00:24:37

Spoiler.

CHELSEY: 00:24:38

Oh, sorry.

CHELSEY: 00:24:39

Okay.

TREY: 00:24:40

Okay.

TREY: 00:24:40

You ready?

CHELSEY: 00:24:41

I'm ready.

VOICEOVER: 00:24:46

Total score!.

TREY: 00:24:48

I have two and a half crowns and Chelsey has three and a half.

CHELSEY: 00:24:51

I have three and a half crowns.

CHELSEY: 00:24:53

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:24:53

Trey, explain yourself.

TREY: 00:24:54

Okay.

TREY: 00:24:54

I'm just going to say look, my opinion is that it feels a little planted to me.

TREY: 00:25:01

I think either Mila and Shawn, said it would be really helpful if you like if

TREY: 00:25:11

Or Karin knows Mila and Sean, I'm not saying that is what is, but there is

TREY: 00:25:20

I do understand that, like you're getting a personal experience.

TREY: 00:25:22

And so you would like tip them because they are the actual ones and whatever, but I don't know,

TREY: 00:25:29

And so I'm sticking with that.

CHELSEY: 00:25:30

Fair.

TREY: 00:25:31

So I said two and a half crowns because the impact here is like,

TREY: 00:25:36

It does make me think that I'm going to need Mila and "Schwan."

TREY: 00:25:39

I don't know why I keep saying it that way, but it's fun for me.

CHELSEY: 00:25:42

We're from New York.

CHELSEY: 00:25:42

It's fine.

TREY: 00:25:43

So I gave it two and a half crowns because it was, wasn't very humorous to me.

TREY: 00:25:47

And come on, this is a review about clowns.

CHELSEY: 00:25:50

Yeah.

TREY: 00:25:50

So I wanted some fun, so, but it was to the point.

TREY: 00:25:53

Good.

TREY: 00:25:54

Solid.

TREY: 00:25:54

Five-star.

TREY: 00:25:55

that's why I did that.

TREY: 00:25:56

Okay.

TREY: 00:25:56

So why did you do three and a half?

CHELSEY: 00:25:59

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:25:59

First of all, like I want to say that HammondCheeseSandWitch, if you're listening,

CHELSEY: 00:26:18

Like, I always think about you when I am reviewing.

CHELSEY: 00:26:22

So that being said, I feel like I know Karin.

CHELSEY: 00:26:27

I know who she is.

CHELSEY: 00:26:28

For me, personality plays a big part.

CHELSEY: 00:26:30

I hate with a capital hate reading reviews that feel like, just canned and the same thing

CHELSEY: 00:26:42

And for me, that's like a huge Queen factor and I felt like I knew Karin.

CHELSEY: 00:26:46

And for that, like, I, gave her high points.

CHELSEY: 00:26:49

It was written well, I understood her POV and I understood, that she was surprised by,

CHELSEY: 00:27:00

I didn't really feel like it, it was fake.

CHELSEY: 00:27:01

Maybe I'm too trusting, but I believe Karin R had this experience.

CHELSEY: 00:27:06

And I took off a couple of crowns or one and a half crowns, I guess, because I wanted

CHELSEY: 00:27:21

So for that reason, I took away the one and a half, but a three and

TREY: 00:27:28

Totally solid.

CHELSEY: 00:27:29

Tipping my crown off to you as an elite reviewer.

TREY: 00:27:32

Who's turning into Paula now.

CHELSEY: 00:27:34

I'm gonna again say Hammond, you've changed my

TREY: 00:27:38

C-c-c-cold hearted ham and cheese sandwich.

CHELSEY: 00:27:41

I know.

TREY: 00:27:42

All right, so awesome.

TREY: 00:27:44

Great.

TREY: 00:27:44

That's our five-star of the company, clowns.com.

TREY: 00:27:48

We did it.

TREY: 00:27:49

So we're going to take a quick break.

TREY: 00:27:51

And then when we come back, we will hear an entirely different side of the story.

CHELSEY: 00:27:57

I love it.

CHELSEY: 00:27:58

BRB,

TREY: 00:27:59

BRBzy!

TREY: 00:28:00

Don't you go anywhere,

CHELSEY: 00:28:02

Please don't go.

VOICEOVER: 00:28:05

Hold your crown.

VOICEOVER: 00:28:06

We'll be right back.

TREY: 00:28:31

It's game time, everyone.

TREY: 00:28:33

All right.

TREY: 00:28:33

It's time for us to take a quick spin on the Meryl-Go-Round.

VOICEOVER: 00:28:39

I don't feel like an icon.

VOICEOVER: 00:28:41

Most of the days, I feel like 'I can't!' That's with an a!

CHELSEY: 00:28:48

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:28:49

Here's the deal.

CHELSEY: 00:28:50

Trey and I have each picked a rotten, scathing, pithy one-star zinger.

CHELSEY: 00:28:55

And with 30 seconds, not a second longer on the clock.

CHELSEY: 00:28:58

We'll take turns, trying to recite the zinger in as many genres as possible.

TREY: 00:29:03

Just like queen Meryl, who can do it all, henny.

CHELSEY: 00:29:06

Yep.

CHELSEY: 00:29:07

She does no wrong!

CHELSEY: 00:29:08

Before the clock runs out.

CHELSEY: 00:29:10

Okay.

TREY: 00:29:11

All right.

TREY: 00:29:11

So I will go first since you read the five-star.

TREY: 00:29:13

So today my one-star zinger is from amazon.com.

TREY: 00:29:19

It is for the Bri brizzled brizzled solar string lights, outdoor.

TREY: 00:29:26

This has nothing to do with how I was burned by these LED lights behind me.

CHELSEY: 00:29:31

I think it might.

TREY: 00:29:31

This is a different company and these are for outdoor.

CHELSEY: 00:29:35

Okay.

TREY: 00:29:36

So this is from Heather.

TREY: 00:29:37

The subject is they arrived tangled.

TREY: 00:29:40

Received.

TREY: 00:29:41

And it's tangled.

TREY: 00:29:43

Can't even untangle it to use it.

TREY: 00:29:45

Please wrap the wire around a piece of cardboard and not itself.

TREY: 00:29:48

Disappointed.

CHELSEY: 00:29:50

Okay.

TREY: 00:29:50

It's long it's long.

CHELSEY: 00:29:51

I was gonna say, I don't know how pithy, this pithy review is, but I'll allow it.

TREY: 00:29:57

I, I love that.

TREY: 00:29:59

Like, Heather is so mad that she's like, or they are, like, I am going to

CHELSEY: 00:30:06

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:30:06

I mean, at least she gave them some sort of instructions for how they could improve.

CHELSEY: 00:30:10

I need like a handicap or you, you need like an extra 10 seconds or

CHELSEY: 00:30:17

You did this to yourself at the end of the day.

TREY: 00:30:18

Yeah.

TREY: 00:30:19

Cause I'm going to, it's a challenge.

CHELSEY: 00:30:20

Yes!

CHELSEY: 00:30:20

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:30:21

I can't wait to hear it.

CHELSEY: 00:30:23

Are you ready?

TREY: 00:30:25

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:30:25

Let's do it.

CHELSEY: 00:30:28

Courtroom drama, fro saved, and it's tangled.

CHELSEY: 00:30:31

Kenny, even untangle it to you is please wrap the wire around a piece of cardboard and not itself.

CHELSEY: 00:30:35

Just

VOICEOVER: 00:30:36

melodrama

TREY: 00:30:40

bang, go like on to even untangle it too.

TREY: 00:30:43

You wrap the wire around a piece of cardboard and that itself is a boy PLC

CHELSEY: 00:30:50

reality.

VOICEOVER: 00:30:52

Recite that Angus tango

TREY: 00:30:54

tiny, even untangled it to gauge it.

TREY: 00:30:57

Please wrap the wire around a piece of cardboard.

TREY: 00:30:59

Not self-discipline.

TREY: 00:31:02

Oh, I only got three.

TREY: 00:31:03

I really handicapped myself.

TREY: 00:31:05

I can't do this ever again.

CHELSEY: 00:31:06

That's what I'm saying.

CHELSEY: 00:31:06

I don't know what you're thinking.

CHELSEY: 00:31:08

This is a game.

CHELSEY: 00:31:09

Trey.

TREY: 00:31:11

I guess I'm living in the past because of how I was burned by Brookstone led lights.

TREY: 00:31:15

But

CHELSEY: 00:31:15

It's true.

CHELSEY: 00:31:16

Anyway, that was hilarious.

CHELSEY: 00:31:18

That TLC read alone should get you cast in something because...

TREY: 00:31:23

I mean, that's the kind of stuff that my sister and her husband watch.

CHELSEY: 00:31:26

That's so funny.

CHELSEY: 00:31:27

Like what, like, what was your inspo for that?

CHELSEY: 00:31:30

Like duck dynasty or something?

CHELSEY: 00:31:32

Like what was that?

TREY: 00:31:33

No!

TREY: 00:31:33

'cause they don't, they don't like gay people, so I don't support duck dynasty.

CHELSEY: 00:31:37

Sorry!

TREY: 00:31:38

There's this show called Extremely Freaking Cheap or something, or like Very Freaking Cheap.

TREY: 00:31:44

And it's just like people that are like doing the most outright.

TREY: 00:31:48

It's all fake I'm sure.

TREY: 00:31:49

But it's a reality show where they're like, literally doing

TREY: 00:31:54

And so they kind of stay on like that.

TREY: 00:31:57

They sound like they're trying to save the money.

TREY: 00:31:59

Okay.

TREY: 00:31:59

Anyway,

CHELSEY: 00:31:59

Is that how people sound when they're trying to save money?

CHELSEY: 00:32:02

Okay.

TREY: 00:32:03

All of them!

CHELSEY: 00:32:04

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:32:05

Anyway.

TREY: 00:32:05

Okay.

TREY: 00:32:05

Now it's your turn.

CHELSEY: 00:32:06

It is my...

CHELSEY: 00:32:07

I'm stalling.

CHELSEY: 00:32:08

As you can see.

TREY: 00:32:09

I think I'm going to win with three.

CHELSEY: 00:32:11

You might.

CHELSEY: 00:32:12

So my review is from costco.com.

CHELSEY: 00:32:17

It has a one-star review of Nature's Garden keto snack mix, the 24 ounce variety a two pack.

CHELSEY: 00:32:24

Um, it is written by Mary Brown and the subject is nasty stuff.

CHELSEY: 00:32:29

Threw it away.

CHELSEY: 00:32:31

And the review, the zinger is Ick!

CHELSEY: 00:32:35

Made my stomach upset.

TREY: 00:32:38

Okay!

TREY: 00:32:41

It's a really good one.

CHELSEY: 00:32:42

Thank you.

TREY: 00:32:44

All right, you ready?

CHELSEY: 00:32:46

Yes!

CHELSEY: 00:32:48

Televangelist.

CHELSEY: 00:32:50

Make my stomach upset.

CHELSEY: 00:32:52

Magic show appropriately

CHELSEY: 00:32:55

made my stomach upset.

CHELSEY: 00:32:58

Designate my stomach upset, soap opera

CHELSEY: 00:33:05

near

CHELSEY: 00:33:05

my stomach upset.

CHELSEY: 00:33:07

I don't film

CHELSEY: 00:33:10

my stomach upset.

CHELSEY: 00:33:11

Musical theater,

CHELSEY: 00:33:16

Abra diva.

VOICEOVER: 00:33:21

That's all

TREY: 00:33:23

4, 5, 6, 7.

CHELSEY: 00:33:26

Wow.

TREY: 00:33:27

Seven continues to be the highest that's ever happened.

CHELSEY: 00:33:30

That a really high score in my opinion.

CHELSEY: 00:33:32

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:33:33

But my I'm in, like you had not a chance, Trey.

CHELSEY: 00:33:36

Like, I feel like I can't even accept the win.

TREY: 00:33:39

You accept this win!

CHELSEY: 00:33:40

Alright, I'll accept the win.

CHELSEY: 00:33:41

Thank you.

TREY: 00:33:42

You never want to accept the win.

CHELSEY: 00:33:43

It's hard to accept the win.

CHELSEY: 00:33:45

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:33:45

I think that's a metaphor for something, but we'll...

TREY: 00:33:48

Just, honkin take it.

CHELSEY: 00:33:49

Honka-honka.

CHELSEY: 00:33:50

Yeah I like that.

VOICEOVER: 00:33:53

Review That Review.

CHELSEY: 00:33:57

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:33:58

We are back from that rousing game break with Meryl and it is Trey's turn.

TREY: 00:34:05

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:34:06

Are you excited, Trey?

TREY: 00:34:07

I'm excited.

TREY: 00:34:08

All right.

TREY: 00:34:08

So I am covering the one star review for clowns.com and I like you, had a challenging

CHELSEY: 00:34:31

Tina R

TREY: 00:34:32

And here's the review.

TREY: 00:34:34

Iron Man came a half hour late past the 3:30 to 4:00 PM.

TREY: 00:34:39

window.

TREY: 00:34:40

Arrived at four 30.

TREY: 00:34:42

He was not dressed or ready to entertain.

TREY: 00:34:45

In fact, he got dressed on my front stoop.

TREY: 00:34:51

Where the children saw him getting dressed.

TREY: 00:34:57

He was not in character whatsoever and didn't speak or make a peep.

TREY: 00:35:02

This was supposed to be a character experience and interaction.

TREY: 00:35:07

Instead of coming in character and bringing the Iron Man persona, he awkwardly

TREY: 00:35:22

His suit was a red leotard.

TREY: 00:35:25

At least put some shoulder pads in and bring some excitement.

TREY: 00:35:30

My husband and I were completely embarrassed and he was the joke of the party.

TREY: 00:35:38

dot dot dot the, caps, joke.

TREY: 00:35:42

Never again, will I use this company nor will my guests.

TREY: 00:35:47

Horrendous Iron Man!

TREY: 00:35:50

Absolutely, the biggest let down for my son and his fourth birthday.

TREY: 00:35:55

I even called when I scheduled and told them exactly what our expectations were and Christian

TREY: 00:36:10

"Oh yes.

TREY: 00:36:11

This is a character experience and interaction."

TREY: 00:36:14

Couldn't be the farthest thing from that.

TREY: 00:36:18

They sent the complete opposite of Iron Man.

TREY: 00:36:22

Every kid saw through him.

TREY: 00:36:24

My husband called to discuss what had happened with the manager.

TREY: 00:36:28

And he had zero compassion and didn't even offer merely a credit or slight refund.

TREY: 00:36:37

We could have picked up a better Iron Man hanging around times square.

TREY: 00:36:41

In fact, those are probably better!

TREY: 00:36:44

A complete embarrassment.

TREY: 00:36:46

I'm mortified.

CHELSEY: 00:36:51

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:36:52

I got to say, I always laugh at these four year old birthday parties where

CHELSEY: 00:36:59

I feel like Tina really just summed it up for us in that last sentence.

CHELSEY: 00:37:04

When she said she was embarrassed, because I feel like going into this, Tina was

CHELSEY: 00:37:16

And I'm going to do them one better.

CHELSEY: 00:37:18

Like I'm not going to have just an Iron Man cake, which I will have, I'm going to have Iron Man.

CHELSEY: 00:37:24

And then when, when it just didn't pan out the way that it, it had panned out in her

TREY: 00:37:31

Oh, yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:37:32

Anyway, Tina, first of all, when you were talking about, Iron Man getting dressed

TREY: 00:37:41

Oh Yeah

CHELSEY: 00:37:41

because I'm picturing in my head, the children watching, and then

CHELSEY: 00:37:46

Cause I was thinking like, that is like a number one no-no!

CHELSEY: 00:37:51

Especially when you're going these kids' birthdays.

CHELSEY: 00:37:53

It's like, if you're showing up as the Easter Bunny, you're the Easter

CHELSEY: 00:37:58

You don't put on your Easter Bunny suit on front stoop.

CHELSEY: 00:38:03

Like how traumatic can you imagine?

CHELSEY: 00:38:06

Tina's like, "Brayden!

CHELSEY: 00:38:08

Brayden, like Iron Man is here!"

CHELSEY: 00:38:11

Like Brayden comes running to the window with all of his friends to see Iron Man

TREY: 00:38:20

Right

CHELSEY: 00:38:20

Like how dramatic.

TREY: 00:38:22

Not that I think that this is Tina's responsibility, but why wasn't the

CHELSEY: 00:38:29

Well, I just feel like, again, like prior point, like you got it,

TREY: 00:38:34

Wait, does Iron Man have a mask?

CHELSEY: 00:38:36

Yeah!

TREY: 00:38:36

You can't drive in the mask.

CHELSEY: 00:38:38

I don't know if it was a decent costume, I would think it would have a separate head piece.

CHELSEY: 00:38:43

So like you could wear the rest of the outfit and then toss the head piece on, right?

TREY: 00:38:47

Wait, but it's so funny to me that they are even pointing out like that this

CHELSEY: 00:38:59

I know, I felt like Tina really wanted to bring this Iron Man up to her

CHELSEY: 00:39:07

And just like grab all the like shoulder pads and like boob inserts from all

TREY: 00:39:13

What do you think the audition process is to like become one of these employees?

CHELSEY: 00:39:18

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:39:19

So here's what I'm curious about.

CHELSEY: 00:39:20

When was this review written 2019.

CHELSEY: 00:39:24

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:39:24

So this was written.

CHELSEY: 00:39:26

All right around the same time as our other reviewer.

CHELSEY: 00:39:29

I, yeah, I was just thinking like, did clowns.com get like, too big for their britches?

CHELSEY: 00:39:34

Like we're just grabbing anybody we can grab at this point and throwing them at the party.

CHELSEY: 00:39:39

Like, it definitely seems like there's some quality control issues.

CHELSEY: 00:39:43

And interestingly enough, I'm pretty sure that all of their five-star reviews that I did read

CHELSEY: 00:39:50

I feel like everybody that had a really good experience had pretty much.

CHELSEY: 00:39:55

just the like traditional clowns and the magic show and the bunny.

TREY: 00:39:59

I really want to honor the just the one star that I've chosen, but I had a hard time picking.

TREY: 00:40:05

And you mentioned that a lot of the five stars mentioned the performers by name.

TREY: 00:40:10

And what I happened to notice is that the huge, vast majority of these one

CHELSEY: 00:40:19

Oh, that's interesting.

CHELSEY: 00:40:22

Well, that kind of makes sense.

TREY: 00:40:23

A lot of the storytelling that's happening when you look at these one star

CHELSEY: 00:40:32

Right.

TREY: 00:40:32

And this review doesn't totally go into that other than the fact that like nothing

CHELSEY: 00:40:37

Right.

TREY: 00:40:38

But I liked this review because I was once hired in college to

TREY: 00:40:48

When that movie came out with Tom Hanks

CHELSEY: 00:40:50

Yes.

TREY: 00:40:50

And I had to dress up as a train conductor and I had to like punch

CHELSEY: 00:40:55

Oh, that's cute.

CHELSEY: 00:40:56

I can see you doing that.

TREY: 00:40:57

No one had their tickets.

TREY: 00:40:59

And so like five minutes then I was just like, I'm not doing this, but the

TREY: 00:41:06

And I like really did not do the job.

TREY: 00:41:09

So I just like, was reminded of that experience about how this person is

CHELSEY: 00:41:17

Yeah, like, she said that they didn't speak.

CHELSEY: 00:41:19

Like, were they just silent the whole time?

TREY: 00:41:21

Not even a peep.

CHELSEY: 00:41:23

Not even a peep, so Iron Man came in, he's partially dressed

CHELSEY: 00:41:30

Based on the fact that she's saying he's only wearing a red leotard, I think he was

CHELSEY: 00:41:36

So not dressed.

TREY: 00:41:38

This is really a problem because if you can select an Iron Man character, then like

TREY: 00:41:45

Like that is insane.

TREY: 00:41:46

Total Tina, Tina, his point, that is a problem.

TREY: 00:41:49

You've signed a contract and the person didn't even make a peep.

TREY: 00:41:53

So, you know, I'm probably going, gonna have a problem here.

CHELSEY: 00:41:56

Yeah, I agree.

CHELSEY: 00:41:57

I think that Tina R is fully justified in her review and experience here, but I do just

CHELSEY: 00:42:17

It's just like, they became the joke of the party they were embarrassed.

CHELSEY: 00:42:22

maybe we could have made lemonade out of lemons, but in this situation, I just

CHELSEY: 00:42:31

She was like, Peggy, you're going to be shocked with this big thing that I have.

CHELSEY: 00:42:34

Like, she like told all their friends, or like maybe on the, the like invitation,

TREY: 00:42:44

Wait, I just looked up on the website.

TREY: 00:42:46

You can't even get a quote.

TREY: 00:42:47

You have to call to get a quote, but this image of an, of what Iron Man is, is so terrifying.

TREY: 00:42:54

It is not what I thought.

CHELSEY: 00:42:56

Like in a good way or in a bad way,

TREY: 00:42:58

Like in, a terrifying, hilarious way.

CHELSEY: 00:43:00

Oh

TREY: 00:43:01

Here, I'm gonna send it to you.

CHELSEY: 00:43:02

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:43:02

Please send it to me.

CHELSEY: 00:43:03

I'd love to see it.

CHELSEY: 00:43:03

Patreon.

CHELSEY: 00:43:04

You can...

TREY: 00:43:05

This is like, not what I thought the Iron Man would look like,

CHELSEY: 00:43:10

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:43:11

I mean, my nephew really loves Iron Man and I've seen Iron Man quite a bit.

CHELSEY: 00:43:14

So I feel like...

TREY: 00:43:16

What's that guy, Robert Downey Jr?

TREY: 00:43:17

Is he Iron Man?

CHELSEY: 00:43:18

Yeah!

CHELSEY: 00:43:19

I'll be able to give a fair assessment.

CHELSEY: 00:43:20

I think.

TREY: 00:43:21

So this does not look like that.

CHELSEY: 00:43:23

Oh.

CHELSEY: 00:43:23

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:43:24

I get it.

CHELSEY: 00:43:25

It's Iron Man-esque.

CHELSEY: 00:43:26

So this is like, oh, wow.

TREY: 00:43:29

I mean, that doesn't exactly look like a leotard to me...

CHELSEY: 00:43:31

But I understand the leotard comments.

CHELSEY: 00:43:33

So basically what it does, maybe the guy forgot his shoulder pads,

CHELSEY: 00:43:38

Cause he was dressing on the stoop, but like...

TREY: 00:43:41

But if this thing is lingering around.

CHELSEY: 00:43:43

That's so gross.

TREY: 00:43:45

It is going to become the talking point, especially with the parents.

CHELSEY: 00:43:49

Right.

CHELSEY: 00:43:50

Under the right attitude.

CHELSEY: 00:43:51

I feel like it could be hilarious.

CHELSEY: 00:43:53

Yeah.

TREY: 00:43:53

I mean, I kind of want this now.

CHELSEY: 00:43:55

And to your point.

CHELSEY: 00:43:56

If I saw this online, I don't think I would be expecting anything fabulous to show up at my door.

CHELSEY: 00:44:03

Like this is pretty janky.

CHELSEY: 00:44:05

This is what it looks like to me.

CHELSEY: 00:44:06

If somebody was wearing football pads and, and like knee pads underneath a

TREY: 00:44:16

I mean, it doesn't even look like,

CHELSEY: 00:44:17

It's hideous.

TREY: 00:44:18

I agree.

TREY: 00:44:19

No, I agree with Tina's last few sentences.

TREY: 00:44:22

Like that's not the Iron Man costume you're going to see it in Times Square.

CHELSEY: 00:44:25

This is actually much worse than the Iron Man costume that my nephew wore

TREY: 00:44:33

But when did all those movies come out?

TREY: 00:44:35

Maybe we're thinking of that Robert Downey Jr.

TREY: 00:44:37

Movie version.

TREY: 00:44:38

And this was maybe before that, who knows

CHELSEY: 00:44:41

Who knows, either way.

CHELSEY: 00:44:42

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:44:42

It sucks.

CHELSEY: 00:44:42

I wonder if they added that to the website after this review, just to be like, and if you want

TREY: 00:44:50

We also didn't talk about how he came half an hour late.

CHELSEY: 00:44:55

I mean, this is, this is a pretty unacceptable experience.

TREY: 00:44:59

A lot of the negative one-star reviews will say that the performers were really great,

CHELSEY: 00:45:07

Oh, interesting.

TREY: 00:45:08

But this is, this sort of was an anomaly.

TREY: 00:45:10

It does leave the impact for me that I need to like, do a little, like more digging.

TREY: 00:45:15

Cause maybe I should do like a princess rather than like a guy superhero character.

TREY: 00:45:22

it seems like maybe you can't guarantee what you're going to get.

TREY: 00:45:25

Like, this is horrible.

TREY: 00:45:26

I mean, if you hired an Iron Man and he was lurking around and didn't even come dressed.

CHELSEY: 00:45:31

That being said, like, what is the case for one scenario is likely the case for another.

CHELSEY: 00:45:35

I mean, yes, like I said, the five star reviews that I referenced had much

CHELSEY: 00:45:41

So I think if you ordered something a lot more generic from clowns.com, you could

CHELSEY: 00:45:52

Like they dress up as birthday fairies or whatever.

CHELSEY: 00:45:55

And a lot of those people.

CHELSEY: 00:45:57

They put their own costumes together, you know, like they, they, they

TREY: 00:46:02

So, I mean, it did, it did occur to me like just Tina not have like a 20 year

CHELSEY: 00:46:13

I'm telling you, Tina, like she thought she was rolling out the red carpet

TREY: 00:46:17

She had to beat Betsy!

CHELSEY: 00:46:18

And she told the kids, yeah, she had to beat Betsy and all the kids were going

CHELSEY: 00:46:25

And the dad needed to be there to take the photo.

CHELSEY: 00:46:28

And we wanted this to be really good.

CHELSEY: 00:46:31

And I think that Tina is justified.

TREY: 00:46:33

I do too.

CHELSEY: 00:46:34

Was I laughing?

CHELSEY: 00:46:35

I wasn't really laughing.

CHELSEY: 00:46:36

How was the spelling and grammar was that all good?

TREY: 00:46:38

It's all good.

TREY: 00:46:39

They, almost every time there's an explanation mark it's multiple times.

CHELSEY: 00:46:43

And then do you feel like if you are looking up this service to, you know, hire

TREY: 00:46:53

Yes!

CHELSEY: 00:46:54

...your willingness to yeah, I do too.

TREY: 00:46:56

Yeah.

TREY: 00:46:56

I do let's crown this.

CHELSEY: 00:46:57

Yeah, let's crown him,

VOICEOVER: 00:47:00

The Queens Are Tabulating.

TREY: 00:47:02

You ready?

CHELSEY: 00:47:03

I'm second guessing myself.

CHELSEY: 00:47:05

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:47:05

I guess I'm ready.

TREY: 00:47:11

Total Score!

CHELSEY: 00:47:12

We did it.

CHELSEY: 00:47:13

We're unanimous.

CHELSEY: 00:47:14

Four crowns, four crowns.

CHELSEY: 00:47:16

I gave Tina four crowns because like I said, it was impactful.

CHELSEY: 00:47:19

Uh, it seems honest, seemed like pretty much an unacceptable scenario.

CHELSEY: 00:47:24

Didn't really seem like they did anything when she called up to rectify the situation.

CHELSEY: 00:47:28

I think this is good information that I'd want to know if I were, you

CHELSEY: 00:47:35

So for that reason four crowns.

CHELSEY: 00:47:37

How about you, Trey?

TREY: 00:47:38

Everything, you said, the only reason I didn't go with five, cause I did find

CHELSEY: 00:47:50

Right.

TREY: 00:47:51

So, I gave it four because I feel like this is very valuable information

TREY: 00:47:57

But I also think that like, you know, maybe if you get a different performance.

TREY: 00:48:01

If you get Mila and Sean, they're really going to go above and beyond.

TREY: 00:48:05

So four crowns.

CHELSEY: 00:48:06

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:48:07

If I was going on yelp, but I specifically wanted Iron Man and I searched Iron

CHELSEY: 00:48:13

Deal breaker.

CHELSEY: 00:48:14

But I think for me, it's like, if I want to Minnie Mouse, I might search that and have a

CHELSEY: 00:48:24

But I do think it's a deal breaker for the Iron Man.

VOICEOVER: 00:48:27

There's A Reply!

CHELSEY: 00:48:28

There's a reply?!

TREY: 00:48:30

Okay.

TREY: 00:48:31

So I have been sitting over here biting my tongue, this entire episode recording because Chelsey, I.

TREY: 00:48:41

You are not ready for this.

CHELSEY: 00:48:42

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:48:43

I'm scared.

CHELSEY: 00:48:45

Okay.

TREY: 00:48:46

I am scared for when this episode goes live, because I think that this owner is going to

CHELSEY: 00:48:55

Stop it.

CHELSEY: 00:48:56

Well, okay, owner, if your list saying like this is a comedy podcast so don't come after us.

CHELSEY: 00:49:01

We're just having fun.

TREY: 00:49:02

So I could play this little there's a reply sound effect 20 times because dear God, there

TREY: 00:49:12

His name is

CHELSEY: 00:49:13

There's multiple replies.

TREY: 00:49:15

The business owner has replied so many times.

TREY: 00:49:19

This business owner is ruthless.

CHELSEY: 00:49:22

All of a sudden it's a soap opera, there's a whole twist.

CHELSEY: 00:49:26

She's really her mother and also...

TREY: 00:49:29

the twin and has died and come back to life.

TREY: 00:49:32

Alright.

TREY: 00:49:32

So whenever there is a reply it's awesome because it gives us the opportunity because

CHELSEY: 00:49:44

True.

TREY: 00:49:45

So this specifically may not be the case because there are so many replies

TREY: 00:49:55

So I'm going to read five topics.

TREY: 00:49:57

And then I want you to just to pick one of the five and that's the one

TREY: 00:50:03

And then anyone else who's curious can go onto Yelp and just go into the dark,

CHELSEY: 00:50:11

Wait, And I just need to clarify really quickly before I pick.

CHELSEY: 00:50:13

This is all a reply to Tina R?

TREY: 00:50:17

No, Tina R actually doesn't even have a reply.

CHELSEY: 00:50:19

Okay.

TREY: 00:50:19

But I had to include this because this business owner is so communicative on Yelp.

CHELSEY: 00:50:25

Wow.

TREY: 00:50:26

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:50:27

All right.

TREY: 00:50:27

So I want you to pick a reply topic.

CHELSEY: 00:50:29

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:50:30

I'm ready.

TREY: 00:50:30

Your choices are bunnies.

CHELSEY: 00:50:32

Interesting.

CHELSEY: 00:50:33

Yep.

CHELSEY: 00:50:33

Okay.

TREY: 00:50:33

Humiliation.

CHELSEY: 00:50:35

Okay.

TREY: 00:50:36

Prayer, homeless.

CHELSEY: 00:50:39

Okay.

TREY: 00:50:40

Makeup.

CHELSEY: 00:50:41

There are so many choices.

CHELSEY: 00:50:42

Let's go with humiliation.

TREY: 00:50:44

All right.

TREY: 00:50:44

This is a reply to a review from someone named Steph A.

CHELSEY: 00:50:48

Okay.

TREY: 00:50:49

And the first sentence of their one-star review is,' I had an unfortunate

CHELSEY: 00:50:57

Oh my god.

CHELSEY: 00:50:58

Okay.

TREY: 00:50:58

They mention they wanted to do something special for their friend's son's birthday.

CHELSEY: 00:51:03

Okay.

TREY: 00:51:04

So this is the reply from the business owner.

TREY: 00:51:07

"OMG, you felt humiliated, pressured and belittled on a phone call for a kid's party?

TREY: 00:51:14

Oh, no.

TREY: 00:51:16

If you need some moral support call and ask for my recommendation, instead of writing all

TREY: 00:51:30

Like volunteer.

TREY: 00:51:32

It might get rid of your psychosis.

TREY: 00:51:35

Oh, and I am looking for a 75 Mustang.

TREY: 00:51:38

Find me one, you know, for a friend."

CHELSEY: 00:51:41

This is terrible.

CHELSEY: 00:51:43

What a terrible reply.

TREY: 00:51:45

I just wanted to include this last sentence from another reply.

TREY: 00:51:49

It ends with, this is fully quote, copy paste.

TREY: 00:51:52

"So sad, exclamation mark.

TREY: 00:51:54

We pray you change your ways and how you conduct your life."

CHELSEY: 00:51:59

Wow.

TREY: 00:52:00

That is a reply from a business owner.

CHELSEY: 00:52:03

That's unacceptable.

TREY: 00:52:05

I'm going to read you another one.

CHELSEY: 00:52:05

Alright.

CHELSEY: 00:52:05

Please!

TREY: 00:52:06

I'm going to read you this.

TREY: 00:52:06

Cause now I feel like, okay, so this is, um, a different, reply.

TREY: 00:52:11

"Asterick, Asterick, Asterick, all caps, CRAZY ALERT!

TREY: 00:52:15

Asterick Asterick Asterick.

TREY: 00:52:17

It says, so the person that wrote the review has 330 Yelp reviews.

TREY: 00:52:20

So it says, "instead of wasting your time writing 330 Yelp reviews and extorting small businesses.

TREY: 00:52:27

I recommend you volunteer at a children's hospital or a homeless shelter.

CHELSEY: 00:52:31

Ugh, okay.

CHELSEY: 00:52:32

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:52:33

This is not a way to do business.

CHELSEY: 00:52:35

When you're the business owner, it's your job to pacify the situation.

CHELSEY: 00:52:40

And I think as we've heard on this podcast, that can be done with a

CHELSEY: 00:52:46

For example, the reply that we had like, you know, DJ Spynfo was obviously a little bit like,

TREY: 00:52:57

but then he ended with contact me!

CHELSEY: 00:52:58

Yeah!

TREY: 00:52:59

Like we got that he was a human

CHELSEY: 00:53:01

He wanted to tell his side of the story.

CHELSEY: 00:53:03

And that's what this is for.

CHELSEY: 00:53:05

And I'm all for hearing the business owner side of the story, like that's okay.

CHELSEY: 00:53:10

But this is just like, mean, like what's what the unsolicited advice buddy, like

TREY: 00:53:22

There is a reply that then had an updated review.

TREY: 00:53:27

That was literally like, I don't understand how the, this business owner wrote a reply

CHELSEY: 00:53:40

Yeah, I think that's a great way of summing it up.

CHELSEY: 00:53:42

Because unfortunately, especially in these sort of fringe companies, we don't need to

CHELSEY: 00:53:51

Like this is something that we're adding.

CHELSEY: 00:53:53

This is a customer service industry.

CHELSEY: 00:53:56

And if people are not enjoying the entertainment that you're providing, you

TREY: 00:54:15

Great point!

CHELSEY: 00:54:15

Like this is not the only person that's had a negative experience.

CHELSEY: 00:54:19

And if, as a business owner, you're not willing to see what it is, you might've done wrong and

TREY: 00:54:29

There are replies on like three and four star reviews where it is like professionally

TREY: 00:54:37

And, uh, you know, we are disappointed that you were disappointed.

TREY: 00:54:40

There are sprinklings of those, but these more recent ones.

TREY: 00:54:44

Really like took a turn and that is a tough position.

CHELSEY: 00:54:47

I wonder if this is somebody else, like somebody else has taken over the

TREY: 00:54:57

Well, this, this business owner has a profile, so it has

CHELSEY: 00:55:03

But maybe like maybe their nephew or maybe somebody else started like writing for

TREY: 00:55:21

This whole world of reviews is a very tricky thing.

TREY: 00:55:24

And it's tough when someone can put something in print that is

TREY: 00:55:29

So I understand the desire to...

CHELSEY: 00:55:32

For sure!

TREY: 00:55:33

...attack back, but the impression I think is what we want to highlight here.

CHELSEY: 00:55:37

Right?

TREY: 00:55:37

What is the impact of, of reading that as a possible customer is really tough to swallow.

CHELSEY: 00:55:43

I agree.

CHELSEY: 00:55:44

Like I completely understand the desire to be like, but in these examples, it's like,

CHELSEY: 00:55:52

This is a review website called Yelp, that is made for people to voice their personal experience.

TREY: 00:56:00

Good Point.

CHELSEY: 00:56:01

And that's why they're here.

CHELSEY: 00:56:03

It just really does not make this business owner look good.

CHELSEY: 00:56:06

It shines them in a really bad sort of insecure Chihuahua nibbly light.

TREY: 00:56:13

It's tough.

TREY: 00:56:14

It's a tough position.

TREY: 00:56:15

And I hope that the business owner, um, doesn't kill me in my sleep.

CHELSEY: 00:56:19

This makes me really appreciate the business owners that took the high road.

CHELSEY: 00:56:24

I hope they can turn things around.

CHELSEY: 00:56:26

I always want to leave the possibility that this can change.

CHELSEY: 00:56:29

That was a lot.

CHELSEY: 00:56:30

I feel like I need to like, get some good energy flowing back into the room.

CHELSEY: 00:56:35

It's going to be okay.

TREY: 00:56:36

And I want to send healing positive energy to the company, the business owner.

TREY: 00:56:41

That's the amazing thing is that we can start over every single day.

CHELSEY: 00:56:45

Everyday!

TREY: 00:56:46

So that was our VERSUS one and five, plus some replies from the seller, of clowns.com.

CHELSEY: 00:56:54

It was.

TREY: 00:56:55

All right my Queen!

TREY: 00:56:56

That brings us, to the most Regal portion of our show.

TREY: 00:57:01

Who are you inducting for?

VOICEOVER: 00:57:05

My Royal Highness.

CHELSEY: 00:57:07

I'm so glad you asked, Trey.

CHELSEY: 00:57:09

This week.

CHELSEY: 00:57:09

I am inducting Shappy Pretzel Co!

CHELSEY: 00:57:13

Now, if you live in LA and maybe are from the Philadelphia area, I, I give,if you are

CHELSEY: 00:57:23

Like there's, there's just nothing like a Philadelphia pretzel.

CHELSEY: 00:57:26

It's hard to explain to people that don't understand it, but Shappy!.

CHELSEY: 00:57:31

Shappy gets it.

CHELSEY: 00:57:32

And so over quarantine Shappy started making just for himself, Philadelphia

CHELSEY: 00:57:44

And then Shappy started, you know, having a little bit of a pop-up out of his house, like

CHELSEY: 00:58:05

Like they're hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

CHELSEY: 00:58:09

They just hit every Philadelphia soft pretzel note perfectly.

CHELSEY: 00:58:14

My dog passed away.

CHELSEY: 00:58:15

Her cardiologist is from Philadelphia and she loves Philadelphia pretzels.

CHELSEY: 00:58:19

I always bring them to her.

CHELSEY: 00:58:21

And I brought her some of Shappy's Pretzels.

CHELSEY: 00:58:23

So this was like, she's got to experience this thing.

CHELSEY: 00:58:25

And she wrote me and she was like, oh my God, these were so good.

CHELSEY: 00:58:28

Thank you for bringing them back from Philly for me.

CHELSEY: 00:58:30

And I was like, 'girlfriend.

CHELSEY: 00:58:32

I didn't go to Philly.

CHELSEY: 00:58:33

I went to the valley.

CHELSEY: 00:58:34

I picked these up at a pop-up in the valley.

CHELSEY: 00:58:36

You can get it whenever you want.' They also have Oreos stuff, philadelphia pretzels.

TREY: 00:58:41

I was just going to say, I went to the website and they have Oreo stuffed pretzel!

CHELSEY: 00:58:46

It's out of this world, Shappy, thank you for everything that you do for all of us,

CHELSEY: 00:58:57

Follow them @ShappyPretzel and do it if you live in LA, place that order.

CHELSEY: 00:59:04

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:59:04

Just, just stop what you're doing right now and place the order.

CHELSEY: 00:59:08

So

TREY: 00:59:08

I want one!

CHELSEY: 00:59:08

Thank you @ShappyPretzel, you are My Royal Highness.

TREY: 00:59:16

I love that.

CHELSEY: 00:59:17

Love carbs.

TREY: 00:59:18

It looks so good.

CHELSEY: 00:59:19

Well, who are you inducting?

TREY: 00:59:20

Alright.

TREY: 00:59:21

Today, my inductee for my Royal Highness has got to be the Aloe Vera plant.

CHELSEY: 00:59:28

Okay.

TREY: 00:59:29

Now, I have Scottish blood and I'm an exceedingly pale.

TREY: 00:59:35

People in middle school used to call me Powder because that movie came

CHELSEY: 00:59:41

Oh My God.

CHELSEY: 00:59:42

That's right.

TREY: 00:59:43

But I think that that person killed people.

TREY: 00:59:44

I don't know.

TREY: 00:59:45

I never saw it was too triggering.

TREY: 00:59:47

But, um, I am just incredibly pale don't really tan.

TREY: 00:59:50

Like I just sort of burn and peel.

TREY: 00:59:52

And so I have been someone who has utilized the benefits of the Aloe

TREY: 01:00:00

And so I did a little research, this is like my new favorite thing, apparently.

TREY: 01:00:03

The benefits of the Aloe Vera plant first appeared in Chinese and Suemerian writings around 3000 BC.

CHELSEY: 01:00:13

Oh, wow.

TREY: 01:00:14

And in the time I know in the time of the pharaohs, the Egyptians called

CHELSEY: 01:00:22

Wow.

TREY: 01:00:24

So I was trying to find like, who discovered it, but it seems like they always knew.

TREY: 01:00:28

And have you ever seen an actual Aloe Vera plant that you break in half and squeeze?

CHELSEY: 01:00:33

Yes.

CHELSEY: 01:00:34

My grandparents had one in their lawn.

TREY: 01:00:36

Yeah.

TREY: 01:00:36

It's so insane.

TREY: 01:00:37

And it's just, I just want to induct Alo the plant for My Royal...

CHELSEY: 01:00:43

Yes!

CHELSEY: 01:00:43

Not the drag queen, because there's gotta be one.

TREY: 01:00:45

Oh, that's funny.

CHELSEY: 01:00:47

There's gotta be a drag queen named Aloe Vera.

TREY: 01:00:50

Wait, that could be a drag king Al Olvera.

CHELSEY: 01:00:54

Al O'Vera!

CHELSEY: 01:00:55

Yeah!

TREY: 01:00:55

That's Good!

CHELSEY: 01:00:56

Oh I like it!

TREY: 01:00:58

We can induct Al O'Vera as well,

CHELSEY: 01:00:59

If you're listening.

TREY: 01:01:02

But I am inducting Aloe Vera plant because it really, really,

TREY: 01:01:10

And I don't think that people acknowledge it enough.

TREY: 01:01:13

So today, Aloe Vera plant, you are my Royal Highness.

CHELSEY: 01:01:19

Wow.

CHELSEY: 01:01:20

You and the pharaohs.

CHELSEY: 01:01:21

You know?

TREY: 01:01:22

Pharaoh's story!

CHELSEY: 01:01:24

Yes!
