Episode 17: My Favorite Murder / Yoga Studio

Speaker: 00:00:30

.. Trey: Hi.

Chelsey: 00:00:31

Ah, hi.

Chelsey: 00:00:32

If you are watching the Patreon, you really got quite a dance show, I don't think I've

Trey: 00:00:38

Really broke a sweat there.

Trey: 00:00:39

Hi everyone.

Chelsey: 00:00:40

Seriously!

Trey: 00:00:41

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

Chelsey: 00:00:48

Reviews!

Chelsey: 00:00:49

Yay.

Chelsey: 00:00:50

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

Trey: 00:01:01

That's Chelsey, Donn,

Chelsey: 00:01:03

and that's Trey Gerrald

Trey: 00:01:05

and together y'all, you know who we are, where those cool cats,

Chelsey: 00:01:10

we're

Voiceover: 00:01:11

The Review Queens.

Trey: 00:01:15

How's your crown today, Tracy?

Chelsey: 00:01:17

Digital and lovely and very light, Trey.

Chelsey: 00:01:20

Not Trey.

Chelsey: 00:01:21

Che!

Chelsey: 00:01:22

Thanks for asking.

Chelsey: 00:01:23

It's not going to go anywhere.

Chelsey: 00:01:24

How's your, how's your week been, Trey?

Trey: 00:01:26

I've had a good week, you know, since I am the editor of the podcast, I have realized that

Trey: 00:01:40

So it was more expensive.

Chelsey: 00:01:41

Yeah.

Trey: 00:01:42

It's just the editing process is multi-layered and I'm like editing different.

Trey: 00:01:46

This is boring, but my computer, the memory has just completely depleted.

Trey: 00:01:52

And I even have a four terabyte external that I am like slowly processing everything over into that,

Trey: 00:02:05

And so I was looking and it was like 700 gigabytes of other.

Trey: 00:02:10

quote-unquote Other that you can't click on and find out what it is.

Chelsey: 00:02:14

You mean, like when you're, when you're looking at the Mac and you like pull

Chelsey: 00:02:19

Yeah.

Trey: 00:02:20

So then that..

Chelsey: 00:02:20

So your other portion..

Trey: 00:02:22

What is the other?

Chelsey: 00:02:23

Are you asking me?

Trey: 00:02:24

Yeah.

Trey: 00:02:24

Do you know?

Chelsey: 00:02:26

I always just assumed it was everything that didn't fit into the other categories.

Trey: 00:02:30

Right.

Trey: 00:02:30

But you can't click on it and find it.

Trey: 00:02:32

You can like click on messages, which I had 50, I think it was 54

Chelsey: 00:02:44

I don't know percentages, but that seems high.

Trey: 00:02:46

But I literally had text messages from 2014 stored on my iPhone, which

Trey: 00:02:54

So I got crazy and I literally deleted.

Trey: 00:02:59

Every text message except for, with my husband in life deleted it, it is gone.

Trey: 00:03:07

Oh, it felt so delicious.

Trey: 00:03:08

I've had no regrets.

Trey: 00:03:09

It's wonderful.

Trey: 00:03:11

And I got a text from Chelsey that said, 'did you literally delete our history about

Trey: 00:03:18

And you know, what's great about that is you still have it.'

Chelsey: 00:03:21

So, I mean, I'm the keeper of all of the secrets.

Chelsey: 00:03:25

But also, yeah, I mean, I'm going to be honest.

Chelsey: 00:03:27

I saw the post and I thought, I understand why David, you know, is above me, but.

Chelsey: 00:03:36

I feel like I'm like the work wife.

Chelsey: 00:03:39

I mean, I'm at least the work girlfriend.

Chelsey: 00:03:41

I was, I was like, maybe he didn't want to make it public because like, that

Trey: 00:03:49

Oh you thought that when you texted me, I'd be like, 'PS, I didn't really do you.'

Chelsey: 00:03:52

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:03:52

I thought, yeah, I thought when I texted to you are going to be like, 'obviously

Trey: 00:03:59

No.

Chelsey: 00:03:59

But what was interesting is when we were texting, I was like, let me go back and see how

Chelsey: 00:04:13

So like I'm looking back, back, back, back back and I found the first, like

Chelsey: 00:04:23

And this was how many years ago was this?

Chelsey: 00:04:25

What year do you think it was like 2015?

Trey: 00:04:27

I think it was 17.

Trey: 00:04:28

I think we met in 17.

Trey: 00:04:30

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:04:31

So the first photograph I ever sent you in 2017 was a screenshot

Trey: 00:04:39

Which is crazy!

Chelsey: 00:04:41

Which is so crazy on so many levels.

Trey: 00:04:44

And then you looked at the next, like three and they were also reviews.

Chelsey: 00:04:47

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:04:48

Like the first five photo text messages between us were screenshots of Yelp reviews about psychics,

Chelsey: 00:04:59

Because like we've been friends for a long time, but there were years where it was just like, happy

Chelsey: 00:05:09

Like, not because we don't love each other, but just, we live in different

Chelsey: 00:05:14

And like, we just went on like two different paths, checking in with each other periodically

Trey: 00:05:22

Mmm-hmm.

Chelsey: 00:05:23

That was predicted by an online psychic on Yelp!

Trey: 00:05:27

It is crazy because that year that I was in LA was the first time I

Trey: 00:05:34

Cause I remember I went tanning, which if you remember in a previous

Trey: 00:05:41

But I got a membership at a tanning salon in West Hollywood, got so outrageously burned,

Chelsey: 00:05:53

Yeah.

Trey: 00:05:53

So like my whole world of reviews began right at that time.

Chelsey: 00:05:57

Right when we met.

Trey: 00:05:59

Literally.

Chelsey: 00:05:59

You know, when things like that happen, you can't help, but laugh

Chelsey: 00:06:05

There's something else.

Chelsey: 00:06:07

There's another force out there that knows things are going to unfold in a certain

Trey: 00:06:16

Totally.

Trey: 00:06:16

We like look back and piece that together, which is nice.

Trey: 00:06:19

And that psychic story.

Trey: 00:06:20

I'll save it for another time on the podcast.

Chelsey: 00:06:23

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:06:23

Or maybe like a Patreon moment.

Trey: 00:06:25

Maybe, but yeah.

Trey: 00:06:26

So I feel freer.

Trey: 00:06:28

I feel lighter.

Trey: 00:06:28

I feel like my computer is running so much faster, so it's great.

Trey: 00:06:31

I can fill it with more podcast episodes.

Trey: 00:06:34

Chelsey, how was your week?

Chelsey: 00:06:35

Oh my God.

Chelsey: 00:06:37

First of all, Trey's amazing.

Chelsey: 00:06:39

He edits, everything does so much work.

Chelsey: 00:06:40

I'm the friggin luck...

Chelsey: 00:06:42

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:06:43

I'm the friggin luckiest.

Chelsey: 00:06:45

I just am.

Chelsey: 00:06:46

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:06:47

I'm sorry.

Chelsey: 00:06:48

You're going to have to edit that.

Chelsey: 00:06:50

My week's been good.

Chelsey: 00:06:51

I did it.

Chelsey: 00:06:52

I, I grabbed the old water bottle out from the bottom of the cabinet, cleaned her off and

Trey: 00:07:01

And?

Chelsey: 00:07:02

It's been going well.

Chelsey: 00:07:03

Uh, definitely been getting a lot more water since I've been holding her and keeping her around.

Chelsey: 00:07:09

I really do feel better when I'm hydrated.

Chelsey: 00:07:12

Who knew?

Trey: 00:07:12

I know.

Trey: 00:07:13

It really is crazy.

Trey: 00:07:15

I love that this is like our recurring theme is Chelsey's hydration,

Trey: 00:07:19

Like we can check in with Chelsey's Hydration!

Chelsey: 00:07:23

You should!

Chelsey: 00:07:23

Cause when you put the post on Instagram about like being hydrated.

Chelsey: 00:07:27

I, I was severely dehydrated at the time that I read it.

Chelsey: 00:07:31

And then I was like, it was actually one of the reasons why I pulled her out of the old...

Trey: 00:07:35

I didn't even think about that!

Chelsey: 00:07:36

Cabinet!

Chelsey: 00:07:37

Actually, that's true.

Chelsey: 00:07:38

That's why I ended up that was the, I forgot.

Chelsey: 00:07:40

That was the impetus for getting her because I saw the post that you put on Instagram.

Chelsey: 00:07:44

And then I was like, I gotta do something about this.

Trey: 00:07:46

That is hilarious to me.

Trey: 00:07:48

Anyway.

Trey: 00:07:49

All right, so you want to get into some, um, kvetching?

Chelsey: 00:07:52

I mean, Yeah, let's do it.

Trey: 00:07:54

All right.

Trey: 00:07:54

Chelsey, what do you want to

Voiceover: 00:07:56

Lodge a Complaint!

Trey: 00:07:57

About this week?

Chelsey: 00:07:58

This week, I'd like to lodge a complaint against those random dips in the road.

Chelsey: 00:08:04

So you're driving, you're approaching a traffic light for whatever

Chelsey: 00:08:11

Like it's like, like a little hill, like anyway.

Chelsey: 00:08:15

Point is, if you go over this at a certain speed, that's even like the speed for the speed limit.

Chelsey: 00:08:20

You like bottom out your car.

Trey: 00:08:22

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:08:23

You know what I'm talking about?

Trey: 00:08:24

I do.

Chelsey: 00:08:25

Why is this?

Trey: 00:08:26

You think it's intentionally a dip or you think..

Chelsey: 00:08:28

I wonder.

Chelsey: 00:08:29

I'm like, is it a, yeah, is it intentional?

Chelsey: 00:08:31

Like, it's like a dip because you're trying to slow me down towards the light.

Chelsey: 00:08:35

Is it like for earthquake?

Chelsey: 00:08:38

Or is it just like somebody really miscalculated this construction work

Chelsey: 00:08:45

And I hate when I bottom out my car on..

Chelsey: 00:08:48

There's one right on Morepark.

Chelsey: 00:08:49

And I hit it.

Chelsey: 00:08:50

Like every time!

Trey: 00:08:51

You haven't learned yet.

Chelsey: 00:08:53

No.

Chelsey: 00:08:53

I mean, like I just, you know, sometimes I forget and I'm like, oh right.

Chelsey: 00:08:56

This one is like the crazy one.

Trey: 00:08:58

That happens to me a lot like going into driveways.

Chelsey: 00:09:01

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:09:02

Exactly.

Chelsey: 00:09:02

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:09:03

That feeling of like you're going into someone's driveway and then you're like bottoming out.

Chelsey: 00:09:06

It's like that, but in the middle of the road.

Trey: 00:09:08

What kind of car do you have?

Trey: 00:09:09

Maybe you have a low, maybe need to inflate your tires.

Chelsey: 00:09:13

I do have a coop it's like closer to the ground.

Chelsey: 00:09:16

Maybe I do need to inflate my tires.

Chelsey: 00:09:18

I don't know the point is, it's very annoying when you're driving and you just want to keep

Chelsey: 00:09:27

And yet that's not enough.

Chelsey: 00:09:28

There are these terrible bumps that are going to bottom out your car.

Chelsey: 00:09:31

So anyway, that's, what's on my mind today.

Chelsey: 00:09:34

What do you want to complain about, Trey?

Trey: 00:09:37

I hear you.

Trey: 00:09:38

Interesting.

Trey: 00:09:39

We keep mind melding here.

Chelsey: 00:09:41

Oh really?

Chelsey: 00:09:41

Okay.

Trey: 00:09:41

So today my complaint is when you go to a parking lot and you can't pull into a

Chelsey: 00:09:51

Yeah.

Trey: 00:09:51

Why can people not park in the line?

Trey: 00:09:54

The whole concept of driving is built around staying inside of a line.

Trey: 00:09:59

There are lines on the highway.

Trey: 00:10:01

There are dashed lines.

Trey: 00:10:03

There is the line so that you don't go off of the road.

Trey: 00:10:06

Why do people suddenly not pay attention?

Trey: 00:10:09

When there's many of them for a parking spot?

Chelsey: 00:10:12

Sometimes somebody else parks off and then you have to park off and then you're like, I

Chelsey: 00:10:21

I just had to follow suit with what this other person did.

Trey: 00:10:24

I recognize that I've probably not parked perfectly every time in my life, but how much

Chelsey: 00:10:33

It shouldn't take you more than five seconds.

Trey: 00:10:36

Everything in life fits into something.

Trey: 00:10:39

Liquid goes into cups.

Trey: 00:10:40

Keys, go into key holes.

Trey: 00:10:42

Hair goes into hair ties.

Trey: 00:10:45

We know Q-tips are not supposed to go in the ear, but we stick them in our ear.

Trey: 00:10:51

So for some reason, even though that's the one direction not to do.

Trey: 00:10:54

We know that the tire should not be on the line.

Trey: 00:10:57

So why, why is this a thing that exists where people cannot park inside the Parking space line?

Trey: 00:11:02

There's no answer.

Chelsey: 00:11:04

A rush?, or an offender before that person?

Trey: 00:11:09

Well...

Trey: 00:11:10

that's my complaint.

Trey: 00:11:11

I don't like it.

Trey: 00:11:13

Everyone stop it!

Chelsey: 00:11:15

I hear you.

Chelsey: 00:11:16

It is the worst.

Chelsey: 00:11:17

It's really annoying.

Chelsey: 00:11:18

I, it just shows you like driving is supposed to be a team sport, you guys.

Chelsey: 00:11:23

We're supposed to help each other out.

Chelsey: 00:11:25

It's not just about you taking the extra 10 seconds that it takes you to correct your car.

Chelsey: 00:11:30

It's the driving karma of working in unison to ensure that if this parking garage has a

Trey: 00:11:45

Have you ever noticed sometimes in parking garages when they don't do the math right,

Chelsey: 00:11:51

Oh, that's like leftover.

Chelsey: 00:11:52

Yeah.

Trey: 00:11:52

Oh, I hate that too.

Trey: 00:11:54

Anyway.

Trey: 00:11:54

Okay.

Trey: 00:11:55

I'm going to shake it off.

Trey: 00:11:57

I'm glad that we got those out.

Chelsey: 00:11:58

It's true.

Chelsey: 00:11:59

I think I really do feel like I need a little like shimmy shake.

Trey: 00:12:03

I think we should both get shake weights and literally do a shake weight between segments.

Chelsey: 00:12:08

Oh, that's a good idea.

Chelsey: 00:12:09

I could, like, my arms could stand to be tight.

Trey: 00:12:11

I mean, I guess we could just do the motion.

Chelsey: 00:12:13

Also.

Chelsey: 00:12:13

Like, do you think that this would look strange if, to anyone watching the video?

Chelsey: 00:12:17

So if I was just doing this in the corner of the video the whole time?

Trey: 00:12:21

No.

Trey: 00:12:21

Why would that look strange?

Chelsey: 00:12:23

No?

Chelsey: 00:12:24

It doesn't look like...

Chelsey: 00:12:25

No?

Trey: 00:12:26

No, not at all.

Trey: 00:12:26

There's nothing weird about that.

Chelsey: 00:12:27

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:12:28

Didn't think so.

Trey: 00:12:29

All right.

Trey: 00:12:29

Should we jump into some online reviews, my friend?

Chelsey: 00:12:32

I think we should.

Chelsey: 00:12:33

That's such a good idea.

Chelsey: 00:12:34

Let's do that.

Chelsey: 00:12:35

As you know, we are your trusty Review Queens.

Chelsey: 00:12:38

We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected.

Trey: 00:12:43

We read you the review, break it down and rate the impact of the review

Trey: 00:12:49

It's a very Regal process that we have coined called

Voiceover: 00:12:53

Assess That Kvetch

Trey: 00:12:55

And kvetch means..

Chelsey: 00:12:56

Complaint.

Chelsey: 00:12:58

All right.

Chelsey: 00:12:59

Who's first today?

Trey: 00:13:01

Me!

Chelsey: 00:13:02

Yay!

Chelsey: 00:13:02

All right, take it away, RQ!

Voiceover: 00:13:07

Review That Review.

Trey: 00:13:11

All right, I'm doing it!

Trey: 00:13:13

Today.

Trey: 00:13:13

I have a Review that, um, is connected to that, that year that we met when

Trey: 00:13:20

Cause it's when I first started listening to podcasts in the car.

Trey: 00:13:24

So I have a review today, it is a two star review from Apple Podcasts written by Frinkydink1.

Chelsey: 00:13:37

Wait.

Chelsey: 00:13:37

What?!

Trey: 00:13:37

F R I N K Y D I N K one.

Chelsey: 00:13:42

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:13:43

Okay.

Trey: 00:13:43

And this was for the very viral, very successful ginormous podcast.

Trey: 00:13:50

My Favorite Murder.

Chelsey: 00:13:52

Oh, your..

Chelsey: 00:13:53

Which is your favorite!

Trey: 00:13:54

My favorite.

Chelsey: 00:13:55

Your favorite, Alright.

Trey: 00:13:57

This is Frinkydink's two star review of My Favorite Murder with

Chelsey: 00:14:04

Okay.

Trey: 00:14:05

The subject is, 'Hear me out.'

Trey: 00:14:08

Hear me out.

Trey: 00:14:09

Start a different podcast.

Trey: 00:14:11

I have felt somewhat conflicted about this podcast since I became a listener about two years ago.

Trey: 00:14:18

Overall, I think K and G are both great personalities for a podcast, and I enjoy hearing

Trey: 00:14:29

What made me feel sometimes icky about listening to this podcast is that

Trey: 00:14:35

A.

Trey: 00:14:36

Obsessing over true crime murders, et cetera, is not healthy.

Trey: 00:14:40

Point blank.

Trey: 00:14:42

Thinking about learning about and talking about the horrors of crime and human suffering,

Trey: 00:14:51

B.

Trey: 00:14:52

I also agree with some points made by others that true crime is inherently exploitative.

Trey: 00:14:58

Even if work is done to try to honor victims.

Trey: 00:15:03

C.

Trey: 00:15:04

I also think it's damaging for both listeners and hosts when it's stressed

Trey: 00:15:11

How we shouldn't trust people, et cetera.

Trey: 00:15:14

When in reality crimes like those they typically cover parentheses, women being

Trey: 00:15:26

True Crime is in and of itself a morally and ethically ambiguous area.

Trey: 00:15:32

It's clear that K and G do not feel motivated, or as enthusiastic about this podcast anymore.

Trey: 00:15:39

Maybe because of mental health.

Trey: 00:15:41

Maybe because of ethical questions and have been essentially phoning in it for months.

Trey: 00:15:48

My solution start a different podcast about something else entirely.

Trey: 00:15:53

Make it an advice podcast, a mental health podcast, parentheses, with

Trey: 00:16:03

Your work is clearly not being you joy anymore.

Trey: 00:16:08

And it seems to not be bringing joy to many longtime listeners now too.

Trey: 00:16:14

Close a long and wonderful chapter with MFM and start something new.

Chelsey: 00:16:21

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:16:21

Frinkydink1.

Chelsey: 00:16:23

So here's the, here's a little bit of the rub, but I'm going to depend on you for this side of it.

Chelsey: 00:16:29

I haven't listened to My Favorite Murder cause like I am kind of a scaredy cat and I don't

Chelsey: 00:16:43

Here's how I feel about it.

Chelsey: 00:16:44

It's unnecessary.

Chelsey: 00:16:46

Why are you going on this podcast where people are looking for this kind of entertainment?

Chelsey: 00:16:54

And insinuating that their choice is somehow incorrect or that they need to

Chelsey: 00:17:02

You're wasting time.

Chelsey: 00:17:04

You're wasting space.

Chelsey: 00:17:05

You don't belong here.

Chelsey: 00:17:07

If you don't want to listen.

Chelsey: 00:17:10

Do not listen.

Chelsey: 00:17:12

There are many of other podcasts out there that you can listen to.

Chelsey: 00:17:15

You go ahead and listen to your mental health podcasts.

Chelsey: 00:17:18

Don't tell other people in the comments what they should and should not be listening to.

Chelsey: 00:17:24

Also don't psychoanalyze the hosts based on zero information.

Chelsey: 00:17:30

So, Frinkydink1, you're rubbing me the wrong way.

Chelsey: 00:17:34

And I want this to be known that I'm saying this as someone who has never

Chelsey: 00:17:45

Probably won't because it's not my cup of tea.

Chelsey: 00:17:49

This is unnecessary is my opinion.

Chelsey: 00:17:51

What do you think?

Trey: 00:17:52

I mean, I'm just like applauding you, cause like I know you've never

Trey: 00:17:59

I started listening in 2017.

Trey: 00:18:02

I believe they began in 2016 or late 2015.

Trey: 00:18:06

I definitely started when there was less than 50 episodes.

Trey: 00:18:10

And they're up to like 250 or something at this point.

Chelsey: 00:18:12

Sure.

Trey: 00:18:12

I'm a member of their Fan Cult, they call it.

Trey: 00:18:16

I've been to a live show.

Trey: 00:18:17

I own multiple items of merchandise.

Trey: 00:18:20

And this very podcast is based off of the template of My Favorite Murder.

Trey: 00:18:26

Uh, so it inspired me to create something.

Trey: 00:18:29

So everything you're saying is exactly like why this review was so insane to me.

Chelsey: 00:18:35

Yeah.

Trey: 00:18:35

It's like giving a graduation speech to people that aren't graduating.

Chelsey: 00:18:39

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:18:39

This isn't your audience, hun, move on.

Trey: 00:18:42

I will say that Karen and Georgia are very vocal about mental health.

Trey: 00:18:47

So I understand Frinkydink bringing up.

Trey: 00:18:50

Uh, mental health, but I think it's very, I think it's just very dangerous to try to label anyone's

Trey: 00:18:58

Like to say that this..

Chelsey: 00:19:00

Yeah, Like, I dunno, I just feel, I find it completely unnecessary.

Chelsey: 00:19:03

I'm trying to even wrap my head around.

Chelsey: 00:19:05

What it, well, maybe like, like, could it have been helpful if Frinkydink was just sort of like

Chelsey: 00:19:18

So I won't be tuning in anymore, but like wish you guys the best of luck.' I mean,

Chelsey: 00:19:30

Note taken.

Chelsey: 00:19:32

Let's make sure we're having this be part of our discussion.

Chelsey: 00:19:35

Right?

Chelsey: 00:19:35

So I'm not saying we don't have a right to have a response to a certain kind of podcast,

Trey: 00:19:50

Well it's interesting to me because they began, they self-proclaimed that

Chelsey: 00:19:56

Yeah.

Trey: 00:19:56

They were somewhat conflicted since they started listening.

Chelsey: 00:20:00

Right.

Trey: 00:20:01

So, okay.

Trey: 00:20:01

So what is that about?

Trey: 00:20:02

But then I also, um, I just personally disagree and I do think that, I'm

Chelsey: 00:20:11

Sure.

Trey: 00:20:11

Like I, I do want to be a Review Queen and like honor,

Chelsey: 00:20:14

Yea of course.

Trey: 00:20:15

But I do think that, Frinkydink's opinion that it isn't good to tell people

Trey: 00:20:24

I mean, even My Favorite Murder has had people reach out saying explicitly that because of

Chelsey: 00:20:35

I was hypervigilant because..

Trey: 00:20:38

Yeah.

Trey: 00:20:38

And their whole thing about their quote, fuck politeness.

Trey: 00:20:41

They sold like rape whistles that said, fuck politeness on them.

Trey: 00:20:44

I have it on my key chain.

Trey: 00:20:46

Like it's a way to like, protect yourself because..

Chelsey: 00:20:48

So that is like intentionally a part of the messaging of the podcast.

Trey: 00:20:55

Oh yeah, absolutely.

Chelsey: 00:20:57

What do you think about the whole argument about them phoning it in since

Trey: 00:21:06

You're going to get me in trouble.

Trey: 00:21:07

Um, well currently at the time of recording this, we're reaching the end of a two month break.

Trey: 00:21:13

Karen and Georgia have never taken a hiatus.

Chelsey: 00:21:16

Okay.

Trey: 00:21:16

And we're, like on the fifth year of the podcast, what I've noticed

Chelsey: 00:21:22

Yeah.

Trey: 00:21:23

And you know, you listen to people in your ears and they become friends.

Trey: 00:21:26

So much of the experience of listening to the show is sort of like hanging

Trey: 00:21:33

So there becomes this ownership.

Trey: 00:21:36

But, aside from joining the fan club, it's free.

Trey: 00:21:40

And so there is a lot of opinion about what they should be doing, what they should be creating...

Trey: 00:21:46

that's free.

Chelsey: 00:21:46

Right.

Trey: 00:21:47

And so there's been a lot of, um, possible decline conversation and the quality

Chelsey: 00:21:55

Okay.

Trey: 00:21:55

Which like, I don't know that I need to really weigh in on, but I, you

Chelsey: 00:22:05

Right.

Trey: 00:22:06

I think that it is good to create boundaries in life and to set yourself up for success.

Trey: 00:22:10

And so, you know, I can't begin to speak for what their experience has been, but there has,

Trey: 00:22:29

So..

Chelsey: 00:22:29

That's true.

Chelsey: 00:22:30

It wasn't one star, I guess.

Trey: 00:22:32

But to me, I guess, like, if we're going through our general roster of like how we're

Chelsey: 00:22:37

Is it useful?

Chelsey: 00:22:38

Like, is it..

Trey: 00:22:39

Yeah is there value here?

Chelsey: 00:22:40

Yeah, I don't think so.

Trey: 00:22:42

Well, it's just so seeping in a like a one-sided opinion, which sure.

Trey: 00:22:46

That's Frinkydink's opinion, but it's just, so...

Chelsey: 00:22:49

It's also just, I don't know.

Chelsey: 00:22:50

There's just so much about this that I hate.

Chelsey: 00:22:52

I just want to touch on quickly what you were just talking about, because like, yeah, it, it

Chelsey: 00:23:06

And I really don't like that rinky...

Chelsey: 00:23:09

that Frinkydink...

Chelsey: 00:23:10

Rinky-dink...

Chelsey: 00:23:11

Frinkydink1 is telling them to start something new.

Trey: 00:23:15

Yeah, that's so pompous.

Trey: 00:23:16

Right?

Chelsey: 00:23:17

Who are you to tell someone when something is at a completion, like maybe they're

Chelsey: 00:23:26

That's going to like, take what they've started and bring it like 10 million times

Chelsey: 00:23:33

Like we don't know like things transition and things change in a natural way.

Chelsey: 00:23:37

And I just think to assign something like that, like to try and say like, you should end this.

Chelsey: 00:23:42

It's just, wrong.

Trey: 00:23:43

I mean, it's funny that like there at the last portion of the review is offering 'my

Chelsey: 00:23:53

Here's my unsolicited advice.

Chelsey: 00:23:54

And you should make an advice pod...

Chelsey: 00:23:56

No, you Frinkydink1, you should make an advice podcast because I think

Chelsey: 00:24:03

Cause you like making lists and people like to take advice in list form.

Chelsey: 00:24:07

So I think you should make a listicle advice podcasts.

Trey: 00:24:11

I mean, as far as like the spelling and grammar here.

Chelsey: 00:24:14

Bad!

Trey: 00:24:14

There were many like misspellings here.

Trey: 00:24:16

Also, it's really upsetting to me that it's broken down into A B C D, but A is not capitalized.

Trey: 00:24:22

So it looks like a weird misspelling.

Chelsey: 00:24:25

So everything...

Chelsey: 00:24:25

like B C, D that's all capitalized, but A isn't?

Chelsey: 00:24:28

That's annoying.

Trey: 00:24:29

There are random words that are incorrect.

Trey: 00:24:31

So like, it does seem that they didn't really do a huge spellcheck pass here.

Trey: 00:24:35

I understand that if you're typing this on apple podcasts, you might not get the red squiggle line.

Chelsey: 00:24:40

Sure.

Trey: 00:24:40

I mean, what do you think of the truthiness of this?

Trey: 00:24:43

Do you believe Frinkydink?

Chelsey: 00:24:45

I believe that Frinkydink had this sort of averse reaction, but based on the

Chelsey: 00:24:56

And so I don't think that they are typical listener.

Trey: 00:25:00

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:25:00

I believe them that like this was their experience and their being authentically

Chelsey: 00:25:07

I do not believe that this would be the experience of most people who

Chelsey: 00:25:12

Because at the end of the day, as we know there are thousands and thousands of millions, I don't

Chelsey: 00:25:19

So if you're choosing to be here, I don't think that that's going to be your experience.

Trey: 00:25:23

And something I think that is going against what Frinkydink is stating,

Chelsey: 00:25:29

Right.

Trey: 00:25:30

So I don't understand...

Trey: 00:25:31

like...

Chelsey: 00:25:32

So they kept you captivated for two years, then you decided you wanted to move on.

Chelsey: 00:25:37

And instead of just moving on with grace, you leave a little, not going to be vulger but...

Trey: 00:25:42

I mean, I guess I can take a little bit of my, like, I'm feeling a little defensive on

Trey: 00:25:53

Hesitantly.

Trey: 00:25:54

And there-- I'm noticing a decline and I have decided what the reason for the decline is.

Trey: 00:26:00

And so therefore don't even go on the journey.

Trey: 00:26:02

It's like a very interesting way to live your life, to tell, tell other people what to do.

Trey: 00:26:08

I understand reviews or to like share experience and knowledge, but something

Chelsey: 00:26:14

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:26:14

I just think whenever we start getting into defining things as morally and

Chelsey: 00:26:24

So.

Trey: 00:26:24

And I think that like, it's so amazing to me, your first gut response

Chelsey: 00:26:31

Yeah.

Trey: 00:26:31

If you're not interested in true crime, you're probably not

Trey: 00:26:35

Although I was not a huge, true crime person.

Chelsey: 00:26:38

And you did.

Chelsey: 00:26:39

But if you did it, like if you weren't a huge true crime person and you tried it out and

Chelsey: 00:26:47

Do you think you would write a review or do you think you would just stop listening?

Trey: 00:26:51

No, but...

Trey: 00:26:51

and you and I intimately know, getting people to write a podcast review, it's an involved process.

Trey: 00:26:56

It isn't as straight forward as it should be.

Trey: 00:26:58

I don't know why.

Trey: 00:26:59

And that's so ridiculous.

Trey: 00:27:00

So like, it really takes a lot of energy.

Trey: 00:27:02

Like a it's more, it takes more effort than tweeting.

Chelsey: 00:27:05

Sure.

Chelsey: 00:27:06

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:27:06

That's true.

Trey: 00:27:06

Any other thoughts before we crown it?

Trey: 00:27:08

Like, would this be a deal breaker to you?

Chelsey: 00:27:10

No.

Trey: 00:27:11

I know.

Chelsey: 00:27:12

No, it would not.

Chelsey: 00:27:15

All right.

Chelsey: 00:27:16

I think we can.

Chelsey: 00:27:17

I think we can crown it.

Trey: 00:27:18

Yeah, I think I can.

Trey: 00:27:19

Yeah, I think I can crown it too.

Trey: 00:27:20

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:27:20

All right.

Chelsey: 00:27:21

So Trey and I each have our own set of one to five crown cards in an effort to

Chelsey: 00:27:28

We will simultaneously reveal our rating.

Voiceover: 00:27:33

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey: 00:27:36

All right, are you ready?

Chelsey: 00:27:37

Yeah.

Voiceover: 00:27:42

Total Score!

Chelsey: 00:27:43

Go Trey

Trey: 00:27:45

One.

Chelsey: 00:27:45

I gave it a half.

Trey: 00:27:47

I almost did half as well.

Chelsey: 00:27:49

I learned from you.

Chelsey: 00:27:50

I learned from you that we could do half crown and wasn't even thinking of it

Chelsey: 00:28:02

And I just think it's wrong to, to pretend like, you know, people that you don't in such a...

Chelsey: 00:28:09

I mean pretentious way, to be honest, that was why I gave it a half crown.

Chelsey: 00:28:12

How about you?

Chelsey: 00:28:13

What'd you give it a crown?

Trey: 00:28:14

I gave it one crown, because I think that the, um, hypothesis here is really interesting.

Trey: 00:28:20

And I think that perhaps it would be better as like a scientific study where

Chelsey: 00:28:33

Right.

Trey: 00:28:33

I don't think that's hypothesis should be on a review on apple podcasts.

Trey: 00:28:37

And this is challenging for me because I'm so biased when it comes to My Favorite

Trey: 00:28:47

I just felt like I was being told something is true.

Trey: 00:28:51

Which is like You can't prove that it's true.

Trey: 00:28:53

So that rubs me the wrong way.

Trey: 00:28:55

And so for that reason, I gave it one crown because I can see that

Trey: 00:29:01

Their like wheels have been turning.

Trey: 00:29:03

So I appreciate that.

Trey: 00:29:05

I think Frinkydink needs to do some, uh, scientific exercises to sort of weigh if this

Chelsey: 00:29:13

I think Frinkydink needs to find a different forum for his theories.

Trey: 00:29:18

I agree.

Chelsey: 00:29:19

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:29:20

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:29:21

That was good.

Chelsey: 00:29:22

Good Trey.

Chelsey: 00:29:23

I like that.

Trey: 00:29:24

I'm sad.

Trey: 00:29:24

Now I can't ever look forward to doing My Favorite Murder again.

Chelsey: 00:29:28

Well, it's, it's mazeltov and..

Trey: 00:29:32

There's a season for everything.

Chelsey: 00:29:33

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:29:34

There's a season for everything.

Chelsey: 00:29:35

And I think that, um, we all understand your love for My Favorite Murder.

Chelsey: 00:29:40

And respect it.

Trey: 00:29:41

Thank you for going there with me.

Trey: 00:29:42

And I appreciate your valuable contribution as someone who has never listened.

Chelsey: 00:29:45

Of course.

Trey: 00:29:46

All right.

Trey: 00:29:46

let's take a quick break.

Trey: 00:29:48

And when we come back, we'll get into Chelsey's review.

Chelsey: 00:29:51

Love it.

Chelsey: 00:29:52

BRB.

Trey: 00:29:54

SSDGM!

Voiceover: 00:29:57

Hold your crown.

Voiceover: 00:29:58

We'll be right back.

Trey: 00:30:25

I don't know why I always have to make that sound.

Chelsey: 00:30:28

Because it's Game Time!

Trey: 00:30:30

Woooo!

Trey: 00:30:32

Let's take a quick spin on the Meryl-Go-Round!

Voiceover: 00:30:35

'I don't feel like an icon.

Voiceover: 00:30:38

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

Chelsey: 00:30:44

All right.

Chelsey: 00:30:45

So in case you don't know the deal, here's the deal.

Chelsey: 00:30:49

Trey and I have each picked a rotten, scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger and with 30 seconds on

Trey: 00:31:00

Just like queen Meryl Streep, who does it all.

Chelsey: 00:31:02

Before the clock runs out.

Trey: 00:31:04

All right, Chelsey, your first.

Trey: 00:31:06

What's your Zinger today?

Chelsey: 00:31:07

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:31:07

I'm going to have to try and say this to you with a straight face.

Chelsey: 00:31:10

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:31:10

So my zinger is a one-star Amazon review written by Anne K.

Chelsey: 00:31:19

And the review is for a Nicholas Cage sequin pillow case.

Trey: 00:31:26

Wait.

Trey: 00:31:27

Is it the one where you wipe it down and it disappears?

Chelsey: 00:31:30

Yes!

Chelsey: 00:31:31

And Anne K's, the subject is, 'who would buy this?' and then the zinger is, 'if

Chelsey: 00:31:42

Are you okay?'

Trey: 00:31:45

Oh, that's really.

Trey: 00:31:47

Wow.

Trey: 00:31:47

How did you find this?

Chelsey: 00:31:48

I knew you were gonna ask.

Chelsey: 00:31:49

I was waiting.

Chelsey: 00:31:51

So I, I have something I'm saving for a future episode, but I was Googling

Chelsey: 00:32:00

And it led me down this, what should we call, like gag gift, Amazon spiral.

Chelsey: 00:32:07

I saw this pillow is like one of the suggestions and I was just like, oh my God, that exists.

Chelsey: 00:32:12

I have to look at that and see if there's a great review from it.

Chelsey: 00:32:16

And there wasn't like anything amazing.

Chelsey: 00:32:18

That was like a long review worthy of its own moment.

Chelsey: 00:32:21

But I did find this zinger that I found.

Chelsey: 00:32:23

Like, I dunno, it kind of tickled me.

Chelsey: 00:32:24

There are, you can buy a Nicholas Cage sequin pillowcase on Amazon.

Chelsey: 00:32:29

If you'd like.

Trey: 00:32:29

I mean, that sounds really good to me.

Chelsey: 00:32:31

But Anne K.

Chelsey: 00:32:32

She has questions for you.

Trey: 00:32:34

The bees.

Trey: 00:32:35

The Bees!

Trey: 00:32:36

Okay.

Trey: 00:32:37

Um, so are you strapped in and ready?

Chelsey: 00:32:40

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:32:40

What am I strapped into?

Trey: 00:32:42

You're strapped in on a starfish.

Chelsey: 00:32:44

Oh, I like that.

Chelsey: 00:32:46

Thanks.

Trey: 00:32:47

Alright here we go.

Voiceover: 00:32:48

3, 2, 1, GO!

You're actually bought

Trey: 00:33:19

breaking news, actually bought this, please.

Chelsey: 00:33:21

Why?

Voiceover: 00:33:23

That's all.

Chelsey: 00:33:24

I mean, I don't think, I don't know.

Chelsey: 00:33:25

I don't know.

Trey: 00:33:26

I'll just...

Trey: 00:33:26

I'll give it to you.

Chelsey: 00:33:27

Thank you.

Chelsey: 00:33:27

That was a longer one for me.

Trey: 00:33:29

That was five.

Trey: 00:33:31

You got five, Queen.

Chelsey: 00:33:32

Woo!

Chelsey: 00:33:32

I'll take it.

Chelsey: 00:33:34

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:33:34

What do you have for your zinger today, Trey.

Trey: 00:33:38

So ironically, my zinger is also from Amazon.

Trey: 00:33:41

This is for the King James Version Holy Bible gift and award Bible

Chelsey: 00:33:49

Oh, my God.

Chelsey: 00:33:50

These like Amazon Titles.

Chelsey: 00:33:51

I understand that you're trying to pull for those keywords, but it's out of control.

Trey: 00:33:56

And this was written by Andrew P and the subject is question mark and the

Chelsey: 00:34:05

Okay.

Trey: 00:34:05

And 34 people found that helpful.

Chelsey: 00:34:09

Well, You know, the things that people found, find helpful these days.

Chelsey: 00:34:13

We'll take it.

Chelsey: 00:34:14

All right.

Chelsey: 00:34:14

Are you ready Trey?

Chelsey: 00:34:16

You are strapped into your seahorse.

Trey: 00:34:20

That's what I wanted.

Trey: 00:34:21

I was hoping you would say that.

Trey: 00:34:23

Okay.

Trey: 00:34:23

Yeah.

Trey: 00:34:24

I'm ready.

Chelsey: 00:34:24

Let's do it.

Voiceover: 00:34:25

3, 2, 1, GO!

Chelsey: 00:34:30

There's some waves my time.

Chelsey: 00:34:38

This is some me and stuff, teen drama,

Voiceover: 00:34:47

as far as

Chelsey: 00:34:47

announcer,

Trey: 00:34:49

but just a weird

Chelsey: 00:34:50

stuff.

Chelsey: 00:34:50

TLC reality.

Voiceover: 00:34:52

That's all!

Trey: 00:35:00

That Yankee was not yankee!

Chelsey: 00:35:03

I know that was really good, but that was funny because I was like, was

Chelsey: 00:35:08

All right.

Chelsey: 00:35:08

Let's see what you got.

Chelsey: 00:35:09

I know you won, but I just want to know, because I know you did really well.

Chelsey: 00:35:16

Okay...

Chelsey: 00:35:17

Seven!

Chelsey: 00:35:17

Wow Trey.

Chelsey: 00:35:17

You're really picking up steam, RQ, You!

Trey: 00:35:20

I really get very nervous about Yankee every round now that one episode happened where

Chelsey: 00:35:28

Well, I realized the opposite.

Chelsey: 00:35:30

Like I did.

Chelsey: 00:35:31

Yankee, I think, and then they couldn't do Southern, but either way, like same thing.

Chelsey: 00:35:35

Like every time I get you out, I'm like, oh my God.

Chelsey: 00:35:37

Like my mouth is going to be able to do it.

Chelsey: 00:35:39

So I feel you, but who cares?

Chelsey: 00:35:41

Because you're a winner and you would've won regardless.

Chelsey: 00:35:44

Even if I took that one away.

Trey: 00:35:45

Give me that seahorse and I'm going to go all the way.

Chelsey: 00:35:48

Yes, you are, Queen!

Voiceover: 00:35:51

Review That Review.

Trey: 00:35:55

All right.

Trey: 00:35:55

So we're back from that game break.

Trey: 00:35:57

And now it's time for Chelsey's review.

Trey: 00:36:01

Chelsey girl, what you got for us today?

Chelsey: 00:36:02

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:36:03

I have a Yelp review for us today and our Yelp review is written by Mary G and it is

Trey: 00:36:17

Nuh-uh!

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:17

Wow.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:20

So that was the worst yoga class I have ever taken.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:25

I've taken about 150 to 200 classes in my life, all over LA.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:31

Rising Lotus, Black Dog, Core Power.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:35

I don't consider myself an expert, but I know what yoga is.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:40

So I decided I would check this place out and do the light gentle yoga.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:46

As I wanted a cool down relaxing nighttime class.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:51

This is not what I got.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:53

It was called The Sweetest Thing.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:36:57

This was the description, "come and sink into a deep gentle stretch with slower moving flows,

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:11

This is a wonderful act of recovery for those healing from injuries or for those who need a

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:22

I think I would rename it.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:24

Hipster, frantic, shitty yoga.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:28

I use the word shit because the teacher used that word shit twice.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:36

I know, very spiritual.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:38

That's just what I want while I'm doing yoga.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:42

People cursing at me.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:43

Oh.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:44

And she also used sucks.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:48

What are we in third grade?

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:50

The music wasn't relaxing either.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:53

It was crappy rock or depressing ballads played so loud.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:37:57

I felt like I was at some desert motel bar.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:01

Fleetwood Mac and one song where the seventies lead singer was screaming.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:07

The teacher said this was her favorite song.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:11

Oh, thanks.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:12

I didn't know I was getting ready for an MMA fight.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:16

Also, and I'm not trying to be mean here, but Emily, the yoga teacher has the worst

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:26

Raspy, loud and unpleassant.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:30

I wondered if she had ever gone to yoga school and been trained.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:34

She also corrected one person's form the entire time.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:38

She sat at the front and barked at us.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:42

She was confusing and inconsistent with her instruction.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:46

She also wore tennis shoes, which I have never seen a teacher do at an inside class.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:53

That being said we did yoga positions.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:38:57

So I guess you can call it yoga.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:00

I really hope the owners take a look at this post.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:03

I'm not trying to get anyone fired, but yoga is a spiritual practice.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:09

Be spiritual!

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:11

Respect the practice of yoga.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:14

Or don't call yourself a yoga studio.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:17

Also don't use profanity.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:19

I'm not at your cousin's wedding.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:21

We aren't drunk.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:23

I'm coming here to get relief from a hectic life, not to deal with more sloppy crap.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:32

This is the longest post I've ever written.

ChelseyAlright:: 00:39:34

I guess that says something about how bad my experience was.

Trey: 00:39:41

Oh, my gosh.

Trey: 00:39:42

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:39:43

Yeah.

Trey: 00:39:43

Mary G do you think Mary G is a yoga teacher, cause Mary G has a lot of

Chelsey: 00:39:49

I don't think that Mary G is it.

Chelsey: 00:39:51

I think that Mary G, as she's stated, has been to over 200 classes or something, she said..

Trey: 00:39:56

That's not that many.

Trey: 00:39:57

That's not a lot of classes.

Chelsey: 00:39:59

How is that not?

Chelsey: 00:40:00

That seems like a lot of classes.

Trey: 00:40:02

There's 365 days in a calendar year.

Chelsey: 00:40:05

I mean, well maybe Mary G goes once a week for awhile.

Chelsey: 00:40:08

I don't know, but I don't think that Mary G is an instructor.

Chelsey: 00:40:12

I think that she's just somebody that goes to yoga classes and she seems like

Trey: 00:40:20

No, look.

Trey: 00:40:21

I thought Mary G had a really great point.

Trey: 00:40:22

Like, it's interesting that it's funny that Mary G copy pasted the description, but I'm

Chelsey: 00:40:33

Sure.

Trey: 00:40:34

Like I wouldn't choose a, a screaming rock singer for the

Chelsey: 00:40:40

Right.

Chelsey: 00:40:40

I mean, Fleetwood Mack.

Chelsey: 00:40:41

Like not the worst.

Trey: 00:40:43

Yeah.

Trey: 00:40:43

Don't they sing Landslide.

Chelsey: 00:40:44

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:40:45

Like I can imagine like a, maybe like an, a nice acoustic version of Landslide.

Chelsey: 00:40:49

Anyway.

Trey: 00:40:50

The reason I don't think that 150 to 200 classes is a lot.

Chelsey: 00:40:54

Yeah.

Trey: 00:40:54

Because prefacing, by saying like, I've been to a lot, it felt to me like, okay, then

Chelsey: 00:41:02

Right?

Trey: 00:41:03

Like theoretically, you could do 150 classes in a year.

Trey: 00:41:07

I mean, sure.

Trey: 00:41:08

I mean, okay.

Trey: 00:41:08

Whatever.

Trey: 00:41:09

Also, I get the point about like the tennis shoes.

Trey: 00:41:12

Like usually you do have to remove footwear, but, and it is funny to me that Mary G states multiple

Chelsey: 00:41:22

I know.

Chelsey: 00:41:23

But she...

Trey: 00:41:23

She gives Emily's name.

Chelsey: 00:41:24

She gives Emily's name.

Trey: 00:41:26

Everything Emily did wrong.

Chelsey: 00:41:28

Yes!

Chelsey: 00:41:28

That's so true.

Trey: 00:41:29

I was wondering, can you not be spiritual if you use profanity?.

Chelsey: 00:41:34

I don't believe that the two are mutually exclusive.

Chelsey: 00:41:37

That being said, I don't know if I would, like, I don't really like yoga, but I don't

Chelsey: 00:41:47

I mean, it also depends in what context, like I think if I was in a gentle yoga

Trey: 00:41:57

You don't need that shit.

Chelsey: 00:41:57

Don't need that shit.

Chelsey: 00:41:59

Let it go.

Chelsey: 00:41:59

Yeah.Like that?

Chelsey: 00:42:01

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:42:01

Like what context.

Trey: 00:42:03

It would perk my ear up as well, but then going in from like, how dare them, say the

Trey: 00:42:14

Like that wasn't a, a build that was like, what?!

Chelsey: 00:42:17

I know, like I kind of got, I kept getting this visual of Mary G

Chelsey: 00:42:28

Like she couldn't just be like, Timmy was running in the hallway.

Chelsey: 00:42:31

She'd be like, Timmy was running like 16 steps faster than he should have been!

Trey: 00:42:38

I clocked on my stopwatch!

Chelsey: 00:42:39

I clocked on my stopwatch.

Chelsey: 00:42:41

Exactly.

Trey: 00:42:42

Did your Hall Monitors in school have special sashes?

Chelsey: 00:42:45

Yes, there were special sashes.

Trey: 00:42:47

Yes!

Trey: 00:42:47

Isn't that so funny.

Chelsey: 00:42:48

I mean, it was not a popular job to have, it definitely said a certain level of

Trey: 00:42:59

In elementary school, did you have to walk in the hall like this?

Chelsey: 00:43:03

Trey has his finger, like in the shush position.

Chelsey: 00:43:07

And then he has his hand and like a peace sign.

Chelsey: 00:43:10

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:43:10

I think we probably had to do stuff like that.

Chelsey: 00:43:12

I definitely remember them using the shush and the peace sign is like, I don't know if we did it the

Chelsey: 00:43:22

And then flash the peace sign maybe.

Chelsey: 00:43:24

I dunno.

Trey: 00:43:25

It's also funny to me that Mary G points out, like, what is this Hipsterville?

Trey: 00:43:30

I do think that, um, hipsters dress code kind of goes into the world of yoga.

Trey: 00:43:36

I think that like to be like, this is hipstery feels like, what Like this chocolate is sweet.

Trey: 00:43:43

I'm like, yeah, no, no shit.

Chelsey: 00:43:46

I mean, I wonder what, like, so they had a hipster, frantic shitty yoga.

Trey: 00:43:51

Oh, Mary used shitty?

Chelsey: 00:43:52

Well, she used it..

Trey: 00:43:53

Oh right, That was the joke.

Chelsey: 00:43:54

Yes as a set up to a joke.

Chelsey: 00:43:57

She was trying to give us humor.

Trey: 00:44:00

What do you think Mary does for a profession?

Chelsey: 00:44:02

Oh God.

Chelsey: 00:44:02

I think she's a meter maid.

Trey: 00:44:05

You really hate meter maids.

Trey: 00:44:07

This has come up on so many episodes.

Chelsey: 00:44:09

I wonder if that is not the right..

Trey: 00:44:12

You really hate Meter Maids.

Chelsey: 00:44:14

Well, I think it's..

Trey: 00:44:16

You live in LA.

Chelsey: 00:44:16

Especially in LA, I think it's like such a shitty karmic job to have.

Chelsey: 00:44:21

Cause like I, every time I ended up getting a parking ticket in LA, I feel like it's like,

Chelsey: 00:44:32

And I don't like that.

Trey: 00:44:33

And they're like, "Muhahaha!"

Chelsey: 00:44:35

Their like, "I was sitting around the corner waiting to make sure you like

Chelsey: 00:44:40

Like, it feels like when I was a kid and I played Duck, Duck Goose,

Chelsey: 00:44:45

Cause like I could never catch anybody.

Chelsey: 00:44:48

You know,

Trey: 00:44:49

Traumatising.

Chelsey: 00:44:49

I'm the Goose.

Chelsey: 00:44:50

It is traumatizing, I'm the Goose and they're just, they're just running

Chelsey: 00:44:58

You know?

Trey: 00:44:59

I feel like Mary G is probably a tax auditor,

Chelsey: 00:45:01

Yes!

Trey: 00:45:02

Like something that's very like black and white,

Chelsey: 00:45:05

You're right.

Chelsey: 00:45:06

Definitely something that's anal retentive.

Chelsey: 00:45:08

I think she's probably a Virgo, I would think.

Trey: 00:45:11

Which is interesting because they're seeking yoga.

Trey: 00:45:13

Well, all right.

Trey: 00:45:14

So, um, I, it's curious to me, because even though I think I have some personality

Chelsey: 00:45:23

I do too.

Chelsey: 00:45:24

And I got to say the spelling and grammar was like, fantastic.

Trey: 00:45:27

I would imagine.

Chelsey: 00:45:29

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:45:30

I mean, it was like, there's no way that, that Mary G posted this without

Chelsey: 00:45:37

There was no copy editing error.

Chelsey: 00:45:41

It was absolutely pitch perfect.

Chelsey: 00:45:43

We utilized all caps, but not in a way that is offensive.

Chelsey: 00:45:48

Like in a way that's like, you know, poppy and looks nice on the page.

Chelsey: 00:45:52

21 people found the review helpful.

Trey: 00:45:54

Whoa.

Trey: 00:45:55

Really?

Chelsey: 00:45:56

Or useful.

Trey: 00:45:57

That's interesting to me because I don't know if I think it's useful because it's

Chelsey: 00:46:04

I think that the reason why it's useful is when people go to yoga studios, they're

Trey: 00:46:10

That's true.

Chelsey: 00:46:11

And so I think what, how this is useful is if I know that Emily.

Chelsey: 00:46:16

Is going to be wearing sneakers, playing strange playlist, you know, paying attention to only

Chelsey: 00:46:29

Um,

Trey: 00:46:29

Having a raspy voice..

Chelsey: 00:46:30

Having, yeah, like not having a voice, that's very soothing.

Chelsey: 00:46:33

I might choose not to go to Emily's class, which is unfortunate for Emily, but I will say, I

Trey: 00:46:42

Yeah.

Trey: 00:46:43

I'm curious what happened to Emily.

Chelsey: 00:46:44

Cause it is so teacher specific, right?

Chelsey: 00:46:47

That's the thing that's crazy to me is you could literally take The Sweetest

Trey: 00:46:55

Okay.

Trey: 00:46:55

Wait, I just looked down at my notes.

Trey: 00:46:57

This studio is called Electric Soul.

Chelsey: 00:46:59

Yeah.

Trey: 00:47:00

Do you know it?

Trey: 00:47:01

Like is their whole shtick that they do like that it's like popular music based.

Chelsey: 00:47:05

Oh maybe, oh good point.

Trey: 00:47:07

Cuz isn't The Sweetest Thing.

Trey: 00:47:08

Isn't that like a, um, a song.

Chelsey: 00:47:11

That's a good point, Trey.

Chelsey: 00:47:13

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:47:13

That seems, thank God.

Chelsey: 00:47:14

You said that that feels like a looming thing I should

Chelsey: 00:47:17

.. Trey: Is that Steven Tyler or something?

Chelsey: 00:47:20

Yeah.

Trey: 00:47:20

Oh no.

Trey: 00:47:20

That's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing.

Trey: 00:47:23

I don't know.

Trey: 00:47:24

I mean, but everything you were just saying is a really great point.

Trey: 00:47:27

Like I guess I do have a little more insight onto who Emily probably is.

Trey: 00:47:32

Um, so I, that would be valuable if I was going to take a class and Emily was listed as the teacher.

Chelsey: 00:47:39

Right.

Trey: 00:47:40

It doesn't matter to me that the conclusion here is that like,

Trey: 00:47:45

So, you know, I didn't like it because I feel like maybe Mary is caught up

Trey: 00:47:50

And I have a feeling that maybe it's hard for Mary to relax.

Trey: 00:47:55

I don't, I don't think Mary should sign up for restorative yoga.

Trey: 00:47:58

I think Mary needs to take really difficult, challenging, demanding yoga.

Chelsey: 00:48:02

I think Mary really needed restorative yoga in this moment and didn't get it.

Trey: 00:48:07

I can't imagine Mary relaxing though.

Trey: 00:48:09

I mean, I get that Mary's experience was that it wasn't.

Chelsey: 00:48:11

No, I think Mary can relax.

Chelsey: 00:48:13

I think Mary can relax.

Chelsey: 00:48:14

I just think that Mary couldn't relax in this environment.

Trey: 00:48:18

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:48:18

The only thing that like, I, again, was like scratching my head a

Chelsey: 00:48:26

They're like really into yoga and they know everywhere.

Chelsey: 00:48:28

But in the second sentence, after she bragged about her 200 yoga classes that she's been to

Chelsey: 00:48:36

studios all over LA and then she listed one, she listed three other yoga studios immediately.

Trey: 00:48:44

Right.

Trey: 00:48:44

Do you think...

Chelsey: 00:48:44

What do we think about that?

Trey: 00:48:46

You think it's a competitor?

Chelsey: 00:48:47

I don't know.

Chelsey: 00:48:47

Like I wonder, do you think, like it could possibly be somebody from Black

Chelsey: 00:48:55

Or do we think that this is just somebody that's bragging about all..

Trey: 00:48:59

It occurred?

Trey: 00:49:00

Yeah, it occurred to me as that.

Trey: 00:49:01

Cause then like the next sentence is like, I'm not saying I'm an expert.

Trey: 00:49:05

Meanwhile, you just said you were an expert.

Chelsey: 00:49:07

Right.

Chelsey: 00:49:08

True.

Chelsey: 00:49:08

True.

Chelsey: 00:49:09

True.

Trey: 00:49:09

I think I could crown this.

Trey: 00:49:11

What do you think?

Chelsey: 00:49:11

I think I can crown it.

Trey: 00:49:13

Yeah.

Trey: 00:49:13

Alright.

Voiceover: 00:49:15

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey: 00:49:17

Are you ready?

Chelsey: 00:49:19

Yeah, I think I'm going to be higher than you, but I'm ready.

Trey: 00:49:23

Okay.

Voiceover: 00:49:26

Total Score.

Chelsey: 00:49:28

Oh, interesting.

Trey: 00:49:29

I'm higher than you.

Chelsey: 00:49:30

Yeah!

Chelsey: 00:49:31

I'm holding up three crowns and Trey is holding up three and a half crowns.

Chelsey: 00:49:36

All right.

Chelsey: 00:49:36

Trey tell us.

Trey: 00:49:38

I gave Mary three and a half because I felt that I didn't think Mary was like a

Trey: 00:49:45

I felt like this was Mary's authentic experience and that I gave Mary credit that

Trey: 00:49:53

I took some crowns away because it wasn't humorous.

Trey: 00:49:56

It was more wordy than it needed to be.

Trey: 00:49:59

And I just sort of felt like it just was a, not a match of, um, teacher, student.

Trey: 00:50:05

And I don't know that that should, um, penalize the school or the studio and,

Trey: 00:50:13

I just think they weren't a match and that can be valuable.

Trey: 00:50:16

Looking, like you said, those were your points.

Trey: 00:50:18

So for that reason more than middle of the road, cause I think there is a little of an impact.

Trey: 00:50:22

So that's why the half crown, so three and a half from me.

Trey: 00:50:25

Why did you do three?

Chelsey: 00:50:26

Basically all the reasons you said, the reason why I took off the half crown

Chelsey: 00:50:39

Like, is this the kind of person that's just like, 'oh my!

Chelsey: 00:50:42

They said the word sucks!'

Trey: 00:50:44

My delicate ears!

Chelsey: 00:50:45

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:50:46

Like, yeah.

Chelsey: 00:50:47

So it is that indicative of who Mary is a little bit more because if it is

Chelsey: 00:50:54

So that's.

Chelsey: 00:50:55

And like, you know, and I feel a little bit bad for Emily that she's being, shouted out

Chelsey: 00:51:02

So that's why I, I awarded Mary three crowns.

Trey: 00:51:05

Excellent.

Chelsey: 00:51:06

Yeah.

Trey: 00:51:07

Very interesting review.

Trey: 00:51:08

Now I'm curious to find out more about Electric Soul.

Chelsey: 00:51:11

Me too!

Chelsey: 00:51:12

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:51:12

Great.

Chelsey: 00:51:13

Well, all right.

Chelsey: 00:51:14

My Queen, I think it's time.

Chelsey: 00:51:16

We've reached the most Regal portion of our show.

Chelsey: 00:51:19

Who are you, Trey inducting for

Voiceover: 00:51:24

My Royal Highness.

Trey: 00:51:25

Why thank you so much for asking me.

Trey: 00:51:27

I didn't think that you would!

Chelsey: 00:51:28

Of course.

Trey: 00:51:30

So today I'm inducting recycling.

Chelsey: 00:51:32

Oh, good.

Chelsey: 00:51:33

Okay.

Trey: 00:51:34

Think about it.

Trey: 00:51:36

Recycling!.

Trey: 00:51:38

All right.

Trey: 00:51:38

Well, I thought about it.

Trey: 00:51:39

And so I was curious, I wanted you to think about it.

Chelsey: 00:51:43

You wanted me to think about it.

Trey: 00:51:44

I was curious who thought of it?

Trey: 00:51:47

So, you know, I love researching.

Chelsey: 00:51:48

Oh my God, Trey, you didn't.

Trey: 00:51:51

I really do.

Trey: 00:51:51

It's fun for me.

Chelsey: 00:51:52

I love it.

Trey: 00:51:54

When do you think recycling began?

Chelsey: 00:51:56

Oh, my God.

Chelsey: 00:51:57

I'm so bad with history..

Trey: 00:51:59

In ninth century Japan, they started recycling paper and they actually believed..

Chelsey: 00:52:05

I'm so glad I didn't, I didn't guess because I would have been way off.

Trey: 00:52:08

You're like, 1920s?

Chelsey: 00:52:09

I'm like 1920.

Chelsey: 00:52:11

Yeah exactly.

Trey: 00:52:12

They felt that recycled paper actually was, more profound and they would use it for

Trey: 00:52:20

Then I realized I needed to induct recycling when, in 1690 in Philadelphia!

Chelsey: 00:52:28

Of all places!

Trey: 00:52:30

They started recycling linen and cotton rags for Bibles and newspapers.

Trey: 00:52:34

And then in World War II, there was a national push for like a universal collection

Trey: 00:52:41

And then the 1960s, it was the very first curbside collection of metal, paper, and yard waste.

Trey: 00:52:48

Interesting.

Chelsey: 00:52:49

Wow.

Trey: 00:52:49

And then I thought this was very cool.

Trey: 00:52:51

When you think of recycling, you know, that little like arrow circle logo of recycling.

Chelsey: 00:52:57

yeah.

Chelsey: 00:52:57

Or isn't it like a triangle?

Trey: 00:53:00

Yeah.

Trey: 00:53:00

Yeah.

Trey: 00:53:01

It's the chasing arrows logo.

Trey: 00:53:03

An architectural college student made that to win a contest and it's still in use today.

Chelsey: 00:53:10

I think I heard about that actually.

Trey: 00:53:11

And then the first state to enforce a mandated law of separating trash and

Chelsey: 00:53:21

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:53:22

Two for two over here!

Trey: 00:53:24

Interesting.

Trey: 00:53:24

And this whole timeline of the creation of recycling 2012, McDonald's replaces

Trey: 00:53:32

That is how big of a deal McDonald's is that it makes the list.

Chelsey: 00:53:36

Wow, that's crazy.

Trey: 00:53:38

But all of that, just to say, I remember when the recycling became a thing.

Trey: 00:53:42

And that's like, because in 87, this whole conversation started about laws about

Trey: 00:53:50

And thank God.

Trey: 00:53:51

I mean, it's just so terrible.

Trey: 00:53:52

Like there's so much waste!

Trey: 00:53:55

Anyway.

Trey: 00:53:55

So for that reason, I'm inducting recycling for My Royal Highness.

Trey: 00:54:02

Everyone just recycle.

Trey: 00:54:03

It's not that hard.

Chelsey: 00:54:04

Do it!

Trey: 00:54:05

Chelsey.

Trey: 00:54:06

Who are you in ducting today?

Trey: 00:54:07

For My Royal Highness?

Chelsey: 00:54:08

I was conflicted.

Chelsey: 00:54:10

I think I'm going to go with teachers today.

Chelsey: 00:54:13

I want to induct all the teachers who have to go back to school now because the school

Chelsey: 00:54:25

You know, obviously children are not vaccinated and you're around like all of these people,

Chelsey: 00:54:33

And I can't even imagine, I imagine, like right now around this time, it's a stressful

Chelsey: 00:54:42

But I think right now in particular, It's even harder.

Chelsey: 00:54:46

So I just want to send an extra love and I want to make all the teachers out there My Royal Highness!

Trey: 00:54:54

It's a really, I had never thought about that.

Trey: 00:54:56

How their kids can't be vaccinated yet.

Trey: 00:54:58

And it's so scary.

Trey: 00:55:00

Alright.

Chelsey: 00:55:00

It tis!

Trey: 00:55:01

Thank you to the teachers.

Chelsey: 00:55:02
