VOICEOVER: 00:00:29

Hello

TREY GERRALD: 00:00:33

Well, hello and welcome to Review That Review.

TREY GERRALD: 00:00:36

We are the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing reviews!

TREY GERRALD: 00:00:44

That's Chelsey Donn.

TREY GERRALD: 00:00:46

And that's Trey Gerrald.

TREY GERRALD: 00:00:48

And together, we are the Review Queens.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:00:55

But first, Trey, we are all dying to know, would you like to?

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:01

Why, yes, I would, Chelsey.

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:02

Okay, I really need to talk about something that has been bothering me for a very long time.

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:07

I'm trying to think of other products that this also occurs with, but specifically, when you purchase a brand new container of, um, like protein powder or when you buy a brand new container of like C4 or any sort of like substance that's a powdery form that has a scoop on the inside.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:01:32

It is

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:32

so hard to get the scoop out, especially the very first go through, cause you gotta like tear that little like safety seal, right?

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:43

And who knows how much it's been shaken around in its travels before it gets to you.

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:48

And like, then you have to like dig and you got to do that pickle claw thing where you're like trying to get it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:55

And then like, sometimes you'll see it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:01:57

But when you can't find it, I have a new thing of C4 for when I'm working out, and I have gone three weeks now.

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:07

That is, using it six times in total, I still can't find the scoop, I don't know where it is.

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:13

Stop it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:15

It's so frustrating, it's so messy, I don't know what to do about it, like, for some reason I will like save scoops from previous things, I don't know why because I'm a hoarder, but I mean, thankfully now I can use it, but.

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:26

It's so frustrating, can't we just like, there's like some yo oh, it's maybe Ben and Jerry's, where they put the little like scoop on the ends of the top, can we just do that?

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:35

Can we, can we do that?

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:37

I hate it, Time to

CHELSEY DONN: 00:02:37

innovate, let's innovate,

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:39

That's my complaint, there's gotta be a better way,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:02:43

I'm so with you Trey, I hate that, Goldie has this sprinkle stuff I put on her, I'm so with you Food to keep her like teeth clean and I'm digging in there and I'm like, I don't want to be digging, you know, like I'm not at the beach.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:02:55

I shouldn't have to dig this much.

TREY GERRALD: 00:02:56

No, there's no sand castles here.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:02:58

There's no reward.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:02:59

Where's the reward?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:03:00

Like if I'm ending up with some sort of beautiful sand sculpture, then maybe, but if I'm not ending up with a sand sculpture, I don't want to have to dig like this.

TREY GERRALD: 00:03:08

No, I'm not wearing a Burger King crown.

TREY GERRALD: 00:03:10

No.

TREY GERRALD: 00:03:10

I'm wearing a Review Queen crown.

TREY GERRALD: 00:03:12

That's right.

TREY GERRALD: 00:03:14

Alright, well, thank you for letting me get that out.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:03:15

let's do

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:02

it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:03

Let's do it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:04

Assess that kvetch.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:06

So today is a versus episode.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:09

Which all of that really means as Chelsey and I are going to be covering both a one star and a five star on the same topic.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:16

That's right, for this Versus episode, Trey has selected the one star and I have selected the five star.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:22

So, to determine who reads first, we gotta flip that quarter!

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:27

Alright, who's guessing?

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:28

We really always do flip a quarter.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:29

We

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:29

really do.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:30

If you're watching this for the first time, there is a quarter.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:33

Um, why don't you

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:34

guess?

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:35

You guess.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:36

Hets.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:40

What?

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:42

It's heads!

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:43

Oh my goodness!

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:45

I was like, we're going to read the one star first again.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:47

That's right.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:47

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:04:48

So I'm going to read first.

TREY GERRALD: 00:04:50

So you can tell from our title, I'm sure, and our thumbnail, but today, Chelsey and I are going to be discussing YouTube in honor of our first visual versus.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:02

So today for your viewing pleasure, your listening pleasure.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:08

have collected data from both ends of the spectrum of the Apple App Store for reviews for the YouTube app.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:18

So at the time of this recording, this is probably a show first, there are 38 million reviews on the App Store.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:28

With an average score of 4.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:29

7 out of 5.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:33

Now obviously you may be watching this on Spotify or if you're just listening, we love you too, but odds are you're watching this on YouTube.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:42

So let's talk a little bit, let me give you a little background on this platform.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:47

According to the most trusted source Wikipedia.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:51

YouTube is an American online video sharing platform, which is now owned by Google.

TREY GERRALD: 00:05:58

We may discuss this later.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:06:00

I didn't even know it was owned by AOL.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:02

Yeah, no, Google.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:06:04

You said American online.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:06:06

Oh.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:07

It's an American online

CHELSEY DONN: 00:06:09

video sharing,

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:11

but let's talk about AOL.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:13

I want to talk about AOL.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:15

It's accessible worldwide.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:17

YouTube was launched on Valentine's Day, February 14, in 2005 by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:31

And these were three former employees of PayPal.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:35

Ever heard of PayPal?

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:36

I've heard of it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:37

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:37

Right.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:38

So YouTube is currently the second most visited website in the world after Google Search.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:45

Now, as of last year or early this year, depending on when this comes out, January 2024, YouTube had more than 2.

TREY GERRALD: 00:06:55

7 billion monthly users who collectively watched more than 1 billion hours of video every single day of the calendar year.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:08

As of May 2019, videos were being uploaded to the platform at a rate of more than 500 hours of content per minute.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:18

And then as of 2021, there were approximately 14 billion videos in total on the platform.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:07:27

So there's no competition for eyes out there.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:07:29

If you're watching this, thank you so much.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:32

Those two.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:33

Yes.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:34

Um, not kudos to you, thanks to you.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:36

Thank you.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:37

Thanks to you.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:38

So, okay, this I just thought was interesting, so I wanted to include it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:41

So those three creators, they actually can't really agree on which narrative story they, um, will each stick to on how the platform started.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:52

So I think the real reason is what I'm going to share.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:55

So, okay.

TREY GERRALD: 00:07:57

So, they won't really agree, but Kareem said that the inspiration for YouTube came after the Super Bowl 38 halftime show controversy, when Janet Jackson's breast was exposed by Justin Timberlake, Kareem could not easily find video clips of the incident, nor, less salacious, Terrible.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:19

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami online, which led to the idea of like, Oh, let's do like a video sharing website.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:27

But what I think is the real reason Hurley and Chen said that the original idea for YouTube was a video version of an online dating service that had been influenced by the website.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:38

Do you remember this website?

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:39

Hot or not.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:40

com?

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:41

Oh my God.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:42

Do you remember hot or not?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:08:44

I don't really remember hot or not, but I remember that Mark Zuckerberg Did like a Hot or Not type thing.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:51

Oh, yeah, I like totally used to go on Hot or Not.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:53

Okay.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:53

Um, it was basically swiping left or right if you thought someone was Hot or Not and you would rate them on a scale from 1 to 10.

TREY GERRALD: 00:08:59

Alright, so they created posts on Craigslist asking attractive women to please upload videos of themselves to YouTube in exchange for a 100 reward.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:11

Music Only

CHELSEY DONN: 00:09:12

fans!

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:13

Yeah, see, but there was for some reason, there was a difficulty in finding enough dating videos from beautiful and attractive women that led to a change in plans, which then let's just have a site where they accept any uploads of a video, any kind of video.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:30

And then the last little info here on the 9th of October, 2006, YouTube was purchased by Google for 1.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:38

65 Billion dollars, which is more than 2.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:43

31 billion dollars in today's money.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:46

Wow, just insane.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:47

So, with all of that, somewhat unnecessary, but totally interesting, especially if you're watching on YouTube right now, um, with all that background info, Chelsey, let's do it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:09:57

Let's do it.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:00

Review That Review.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:05

All right, Trey, I love when you put your historian hat on, I'm not gonna lie, I really do enjoy it.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:10

Okay, so as we mentioned at the top of the show, I will be reading the five star review, so I have all the positive things to say.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:18

My review is written by Namaste Scott.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:24

Oh my gosh.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:25

It's a five star review.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:28

Title is Free Heart Education.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:35

Hmm.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:37

This was written in the time of recording, within the last week, just because that's how often, as Trey was mentioning, reviews come up.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:48

So this is hot off the presses from Namaste Scott.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:51

Here we go.

TREY GERRALD: 00:10:54

That's a good name.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:55

Get your PhD from YouTube today.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:10:59

Best investment you will make in your life.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:11:02

Walk at least an hour in the morning sunlight for your health, and why not listen while you exercise and learn something to improve the quality of your life.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:11:12

I survived a massive heart attack, mostly from what I learned from YouTube, when all the doctors said there was no hope.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:11:21

Today at 69, I am heart failure free and living a full and productive life.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:11:27

Thank you for giving me my life back.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:11:36

Namaste.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:11:39

God's gonna nama stay around 'cause of YouTube.

TREY GERRALD: 00:11:43

So I'm just gonna say the colloquialism of like taking Namaste into like everyday vernacular.

TREY GERRALD: 00:11:50

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:11:50

Does not sound like a 60-year-old to me, but it totally does to me.

TREY GERRALD: 00:11:54

Maybe now actually.

TREY GERRALD: 00:11:55

Maybe it could just like.

TREY GERRALD: 00:11:58

Like, now in

CHELSEY DONN: 00:12:00

2020, the, you know, mid 2020s, I think so.

TREY GERRALD: 00:12:05

Okay.

TREY GERRALD: 00:12:05

This is wild.

TREY GERRALD: 00:12:07

Because at first, I started to go, I thought this would be going a different way, and I was sort of like, Yeah, get your PhD on YouTube, like, and then, as soon as I was getting cynical, I was sort of like, but it is, like, I have learned so much from YouTube, I've learned how to sew, I've learned makeup, I've learned acting skills, I've learned podcasting skills, I've learned editing skills, like, I do equally go to YouTube or Google search when I want to learn some sort of trade or

CHELSEY DONN: 00:12:46

and sometimes Google search to YouTube

TREY GERRALD: 00:12:48

literally right like if I don't want to read the step by step I want to watch it happen like yes and I also love from the 60 year old it is a beautiful thing it is Like, I sometimes look at TikTok and like roll my eyes, people, young people are learning tremendous amounts of things from TikTok, like, same as YouTube, like, it is a beautiful thing to think of like the free sharing of information.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:23

And then like how you can also monetize too.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:25

But like, I mean, it's pretty remarkable.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:27

So, okay, but so I went on a whole journey emotionally.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:30

Thank you.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:30

Namaste, Scott.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:33

Just narratively, I want to be clear here.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:35

So doctors thought Scott was gonna die.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:39

There was no hope.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:40

But then they realized it was a heart issue because of YouTube.

TREY GERRALD: 00:13:46

So

CHELSEY DONN: 00:13:47

he basically he had a massive heart attack.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:13:50

And he learned.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:13:54

Then he was told basically after the massive heart attack that there was like no hope that he was like screwed Maybe that he was gonna have like a biopsy.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:02

I don't know like what they told him But they told like it was not looking good.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:07

You're gonna go into heart failure You're gonna die and then based off of whatever Scott learned from YouTube Which sounds like a part of that with the walk at least an hour in the morning was lifestyle changes Scott is now 69 years old.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:21

They don't say how old they were when they had the heart attack.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:25

That's a good point.

TREY GERRALD: 00:14:27

I wish they did.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:28

Yeah, but there's their heart failure free and, you know, they're living life.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:33

And I know like a little bit from Bella, like I had a dog with a heart condition

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:39

for a

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:40

long time.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:40

And like, you're trying to avoid Heart failure.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:43

Like that's like that is once you get to congestive heart failure, like then it's a ticking time bomb.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:50

So that all like you can have a heart attack or you can have something wrong with your heart.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:14:55

If you can maintain the your health in a way to avoid heart failure, you can live many happy, healthy years.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:04

So I think that that's what Namaste Scott is saying is that They got like kind of a bad prognosis from their doctor like, Oh, this heart attack was so bad.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:14

You're going to be in heart failure in a year, right?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:17

And because of whatever they've learned, they're still here.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:21

And they've literally like they owe their life to YouTube, which sounds funny, but it's true.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:29

I think in this case, I believe.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:30

Namaste, Scott.

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:32

I mean, it's a touching and crazy story,

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:35

right?

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:37

Um,

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:40

I find the value.

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:41

I mean, it's like life and death.

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:44

And immediately, I do think like, do I think this is truthful?

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:49

And I profoundly find this to be truthful.

TREY GERRALD: 00:15:51

I don't think Namaste Skada is being shady.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:54

Yeah.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:15:55

And also, I believe that Namaste, and correct me if I'm not up on my Sanskrit, but I believe that it means the teacher in me bows to the teacher in you, which in this case is sort of apt.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:16:11

Because Scott is teaching us, in a

CHELSEY DONN: 00:16:17

way, through his review, what he was taught.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:16:20

Yes.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:16:23

Namaste,

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:23

Scott.

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:24

I love that it's like, cause in, and being in the one stars for like, all the prep of this, like I was very curious what the one stars are, what the five stars would be.

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:37

And I actually like that it's so sincere.

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:42

Yeah,

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:43

because there is something that's like, lovely about that, right?

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:47

Like it's just so often in reviews, we get such like,

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:54

Like, what's the word?

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:55

Just like,

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:57

crash.

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:59

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:16:59

Like, I just appreciate that.

TREY GERRALD: 00:17:01

It's like, this is like, heartfelt.

TREY GERRALD: 00:17:04

Like, it is sort of like,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:06

it was weird.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:06

Cause even in the five star reviews, there were so many people that were fetching.

TREY GERRALD: 00:17:11

Yes.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:12

You know, like it'd be a five star review and they would still be like, but I hate the ads.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:15

F you.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:16

All right.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:16

I still love you.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:18

And I thought it was nice.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:20

And that was, I brought this in that it was a pure, this is a pure five star review.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:25

It's very sweet.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:26

I do think, no offense to anyone in our audience who's of an older generation, I do think, like, There's always a resurgence of like, maybe younger people were here for a long time, and now people that are Scott's age are really like in the past 10 years, maybe starting to utilize YouTube the way we have been for even longer, so I think there's something sweet and genuine and truthful about that, right?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:17:52

Like people in Namaste Scott's age group, They're, they're just not getting all their videos from Facebook these days.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:00

They're going to YouTube.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:01

They're checking outside of, of the, you know, traditional Ways that we think, uh, boomers are getting their video information.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:09

And I think that's, that's sweet.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:12

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:12

I mean, I, this is just randomly, literally two days ago I had a conversation with my mother, um, who was born in 50 and she was asking.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:25

How to work YouTube.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:26

So I just really appreciate that Namaste Scott has figured that out.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:32

Not to say that there aren't a whole plethora of YouTube influencers who are of boomer age, but I do think that there is a demographic, I guess my point is that Scott would connect with and he's still connecting with us.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:45

Yes.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:46

So spelling grammar sounded excellent.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:49

Perfect.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:50

Excellent.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:50

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:50

Pristine.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:51

Pristine.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:18:52

And also with spelling and grammar, I just wanna include, I think, perfect length.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:56

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:58

Right.

TREY GERRALD: 00:18:58

Especially on the app store.

TREY GERRALD: 00:19:00

Like we don't need, like we don't need a saga.

TREY GERRALD: 00:19:02

We don't need war and peace.

TREY GERRALD: 00:19:03

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:19:04

. Exactly.

TREY GERRALD: 00:19:06

Um, okay.

TREY GERRALD: 00:19:07

So, this experience here, how common is it to have your life saved by YouTube, do you think?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:19:14

In reading Scott's review, I feel like more and more common, like you could probably learn CPR, I'm sure you can learn CPR, Heimlich, um, there is also something to be said for, Like it takes it out of the WebMD realm when I'm actually seeing somebody who is probably like a lot of doctors like I told you like Brad and Brad or whatever that's not their names but that's what I always call them the like chiropractor like there's something nice about being able to connect with a doctor especially if like you maybe live in an area where you only have this one doctor now thanks to YouTube you're gonna get a doctor that's like in New York that's at the highest heart clinic that just happens to have a YouTube page you It's going to talk about this alternative treatment or, you know, whatever, and you're going to get that information.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:20:00

So I think that it's, it's not uncommon.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:20:03

It's not the only use for the app, of course, or, you know, the site, of course, but I think it's, it's probably happens with regularity.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:11

Yeah, I think for the experience, like, I imagine it is typical to Apply the content in a way to your life, whether whatever the genre is, you know, there's like so many pockets inside of YouTube.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:28

Um, I imagine the application of it is probably typical,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:20:32

right?

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:33

Um,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:20:34

or common enough.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:35

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:36

You know, what about, I was entertained because I, as I shared, I thought it was going one way.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:41

I went on a rollercoaster and then I sort of like was touched.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:45

Like it's entertaining.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:47

I don't know that it's necessarily funny, but like I was entertained.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:20:50

Yeah.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:20:50

And it's, I think it's endearing more than it's funny.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:53

Truly.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:54

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:55

All right.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:55

So the impact here, if you had just come out of a bunker underground.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:58

Oh my God.

TREY GERRALD: 00:20:59

If I was like Blush in

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:00

the past and I'm Brendan Fraser and I'm Exiting out of the bunker and I'm finding out that oh my god, the world didn't totally explode and here I am and wow, there's this thing called YouTube and oh my god, I can use it for medical help?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:17

I'm in.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:18

I think I'm sold.

TREY GERRALD: 00:21:19

The impact is, yeah, I don't think the impact is negative.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:23

Certainly not.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:24

No, I think there's nothing but positive vibes coming off of Namaste Scott, which is apt.

TREY GERRALD: 00:21:29

Heard.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:30

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:30

I think we can crown Namaste Scott.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:32

I think

TREY GERRALD: 00:21:32

so too, but before we crowned, before we crowned, before We crown.

TREY GERRALD: 00:21:42

Yeah.

TREY GERRALD: 00:21:43

CHELSEY DONN: 00:21:58

Okay.

Trey and our listeners, our Royal Squad, if you're listening, please play along.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:05

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:05

This is not just for Trey.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:06

This is for you as well.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:08

The name of this game, Trey, is YouTube Queen or On The Scene.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:15

All right.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:15

So here's how it works, guys.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:18

Trey, I'm going to tell you the name of the winner.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:22

of a YouTube, I'm going to say celebrity, influencer of sorts.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:28

You're going to tell me if they are a YouTube queen, meaning are they the top in the top 10 richest YouTubers of all time, according to a 2024 analysis, or are they on the scene?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:42

Like they're successful, clearly, maybe we know them, but they're not in the top 10.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:47

Top 10.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:48

All right.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:22:49

After each question, listeners, Listen for the beep, beep, beep, and then you can scream out your answer in your car, in your room, wherever you are, Trey, you're gonna tell me your answer, If you get it wrong, just wanna let you know, there will be a little bit of a consequence,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:04

Okay,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:06

Alright, are you ready, Trey?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:08

I Feel ready.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:10

Okay, here we go.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:11

Let's find out.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:11

Okay, number one YouTuber, Emma Chamberlain.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:16

All right, Royal Squad and Trey.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:18

First up is Emma Chamberlain.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:20

She's all about the coffee fashion and those relatable vlogs.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:24

So what do you think?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:25

Is Emma YouTube Queen or just on the scene?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:23:28

All right, get ready to shout out your answers.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:34

Okay, I actually don't know who Emma Chamberlain is, but I do know that Trisha Paytas talks about her a lot.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:39

I know that she, like, gets invited now to red carpets and, like, has really blown up.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:47

I don't know who she is.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:48

So I, like.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:51

She's not Mr.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:52

Beast, but I know she like was invited to the Oscar.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:55

So I'm gonna say yes.

TREY GERRALD: 00:23:57

She is in the top ten.

TREY GERRALD: 00:24:03

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:03

Sorry, Trey.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:04

She's on the scene.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:05

So your consequence is that you have to pretend to sip your fanciest iced coffee and react like it's the best thing you've ever had in your life.

TREY GERRALD: 00:24:13

Well, I only have ice water.

TREY GERRALD: 00:24:14

Is that okay?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:14

That's fine.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:15

You can use props.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:22

Trey, you're acting is phenomenal.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:25

I mean, like I had any doubt.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:27

YouTuber number two is

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:32

Logan Paul.

TREY GERRALD: 00:24:33

Oh dear.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:35

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:35

So next up is Logan Paul.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:36

He's a blogger.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:37

He's a boxer.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:37

He's a prime energy drink king.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:39

Royal squad, Trey.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:40

What do you think?

TREY GERRALD: 00:24:47

He has, I mean, he has, I'm gonna say yes, he's in the top 10, again?

TREY GERRALD: 00:24:54

Maybe he won this many years ago, Okay, so

CHELSEY DONN: 00:24:56

he's on the scene, no, like, so this is crazy, I forgot to say for Emma, Emma, Emma's net worth is 12 million, okay, so that's not too shabby, Now, Logan's net worth is 50 million dollars, and he's 10, Not even in the top ten.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:10

Isn't that crazy?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:11

All right, Trey, you're consequent.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:12

All right, you have to pretend like you just knocked someone out in a boxing match, and you're gonna celebrate for like three seconds.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:28

Okay, that was a very silent celebration, but I'll accept

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:31

it.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:32

I'll

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:33

accept it.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:34

It was great.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:35

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:35

All right, Trey.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:37

YouTuber number three.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:38

I think we've all heard of him.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:40

Ryan Kaji.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:42

Let's talk about Ryan Kaji.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:43

He's the kid behind Ryan's World, Royal Squad.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:47

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:47

You know, like, I'm not going to give you any more information if you don't know Trey, but Royal Squad, Trey.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:51

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:25:51

Is Ryan Kaji a YouTube queen or is he just on the scene?

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:01

I, I literally don't, I've never heard this name.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:04

Are you effing kidding?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:05

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:06

I have no idea.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:07

So

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:09

I feel like I'm supposed to, I think it's going to be a yes, but I'm going to say no.

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:12

He's, he's on the scene.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:15

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:16

Brian Kaji.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:17

I can't believe you, I guess maybe you had your, your nephews were born kind of late.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:22

Ryan was like one of the first ever YouTube stars.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:26

He unwraps toys and kids go freaking ballistic.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:29

He has his own toy line at Target that he sells.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:33

He's like a huge star.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:35

His net worth is 100 million.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:37

He is definitely a YouTube queen.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:42

I got a consequence.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:44

You have to do your best excited kid voice saying, wow, look at this.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:26:48

I just gave you a, don't take that as line read, but go ahead.

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:51

Sorry.

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:51

I'm just.

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:52

Imaging.

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:53

I've never seen this person in my life.

TREY GERRALD: 00:26:56

Um,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:02

worth a million dollars.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:03

Certainly.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:05

That's exactly what he sounds like.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:07

I think now he's probably like 50.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:09

No, he's not.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:10

Um, but he's older.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:11

It's probably in college.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:12

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:13

So YouTuber number four, Markiplier.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:20

Next up is Markiplier.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:22

He's a famous gamer and all around entertainer.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:25

Royal squad.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:25

We Trey, Royal Squad, what is your guess?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:30

Is he a YouTube Queen or just on the scene?

TREY GERRALD: 00:27:38

I don't even remember the name, so I don't know any of these people, so I'm just gonna say no.

TREY GERRALD: 00:27:44

Okay.

TREY GERRALD: 00:27:44

Because I've just said no for all of them.

TREY GERRALD: 00:27:46

Oh!

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:47

Okay.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:47

So that's right, Markiplier is on the scene, however, he is worth a fancy 45 million dollars, so that's pretty sceney, if you ask me.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:57

Jeez Louise.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:57

You got that one right, so you didn't have to lose a video game.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:59

Alright.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:27:59

Alright.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:01

Alright, number five, Jeffree Star, okay, this is the last regular round, Royal Squad and Trey, this is your last regular round, Jeffree Star, Makeup Mogul and Yak Rancher, is Jeffree Star a YouTube Queen or just on the scene?

TREY GERRALD: 00:28:23

I feel like Jeffree Star probably has a lot of money because of the makeup lines, so I'm gonna say, even though I think they disappeared from YouTube for a while, but they're back now, I'm gonna say yes.

TREY GERRALD: 00:28:35

They are.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:37

That is right.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:38

Jeffrey Star is a YouTube queen with an estimated net worth of 200 million

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:47

mj.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:47

Alright, final bonus round.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:49

Try.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:49

This is gonna put you over the top for a win because you need it.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:53

All right.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:53

Alright, Royal Squad and try.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:56

It's time for the bonus round.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:28:57

For this one we're talking about the biggest YouTube queen of them all, which we all know.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:02

Trey mentioned him earlier.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:03

Mr.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:04

Beast, uh, Trey Royal Squad.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:07

Can you guess?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:08

Mr.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:09

Beast's exact net worth within 50, 000, 000.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:17

So you get a 50, 000, 000 buffer.

TREY GERRALD: 00:29:24

I'm gonna say 1.

TREY GERRALD: 00:29:26

7 billion.

TREY GERRALD: 00:29:29

Okay,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:30

good guess, but wrong.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:32

Um, Mr.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:34

Beast's net worth is 500, 000, 000.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:36

For your final punishment, Trey, you're going to throw away imaginary cash into the air like you're Mr.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:41

Beast on a giveaway spree.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:42

Let's see

TREY GERRALD: 00:29:43

it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:29:43

I've never seen a Mr.

TREY GERRALD: 00:29:44

Beast video, but Just

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:45

like, throw them on and make it rain, baby.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:48

That was like the most demure make it rain I've ever seen in my life.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:52

All right, Trey, I'm sorry to tell you that you lost.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:56

Um, you got zero out of two correct.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:59

Is that right?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:29:59

You got zero to two correct.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:00

So you're an on the scene dreamer.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:02

He have to tell you.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:03

Well, this sound effect is not necessary.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:07

I'm so glad I had the applause for, um, maybe, but maybe the listeners.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:11

Maybe the

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:11

listener.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:12

Did you get five to six correct?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:13

Because if you did, you're a YouTube financial expert.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:15

If you got three to four correct, You're a monetization maven, and if you, like, Trey, only got a zero to two crack, you're not the same dreamer, but you know what?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:24

I love a dreamer, I love a dreamer,

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:28

Great game, good job, Chelsey,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:32

Review That Review,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:37

Alright, Trey, are we ready to crown Namaste Scott?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:39

Subs by www.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:40

zeoranger.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:40

co.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:30:40

uk

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:41

Let's do it.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:41

All right.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:42

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

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:46

In an effort to be fair and not influence each other, we will simultaneously reveal our ratings.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:53

The Queens are tabulating.

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:54

Turn to

TREY GERRALD: 00:30:59

school.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:31:01

Okay, I went out on a limb and I made Namaste Scott a Review Queen.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:31:05

Trey went with four and a half crowns.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:31:07

Trey, you go first.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:31:08

Tell us why you gave Namaste Scott four and a half crowns.

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:12

I mean, I, I almost did Review Queen too.

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:15

I feel like we've, I feel like we have been a little more Review Queen Napala.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:31:19

What?

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:20

No, I feel like we've both been doing a lot of Review Queens lately since the cameras have been on us, but look, this is a Review Queen review.

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:28

Yes, it is.

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:29

I, but I did sort of what was sticking in my ear was you pointing out like they could have included a little more history in the timeline.

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:38

Um, and

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:42

I don't, I don't know the length of the review was, it is, it's pretty Review Queen y, but I'm just taking a half crown away because I feel like There could have been a little, a little more needling of the sewing needle to like, really slam dunk it, Mr.

TREY GERRALD: 00:31:57

Beast, with the money.

TREY GERRALD: 00:32:00

Um, but, Namaste, Scott, I hope that that heart keeps pounding, baby, and, um, great job.

TREY GERRALD: 00:32:07

Chelsey, why did you go full swing, Review Queen?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:32:11

You know, I was in a similar position, I was gonna go four and a half, because I was like, was I pulled over laughing?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:32:17

No, but I decided that there are different categories of review queens in my mind, and I feel like Namaste Scott is a review queen.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:32:24

They're living, they're telling their tale.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:32:28

I feel really connected to them because of my connection with like dealing with an animal, but still with the heart condition, I love that they found something that made their life better through YouTube.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:32:38

On this week's After Show pod, we are both taking a spin.

TREY GERRALD: 00:34:23

I'm the infamous Meryl Go Round, as well as rating and reviewing that opposite end of the spectrum review for YouTube.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:34:32

Wow, I wonder why this was said.

TREY GERRALD: 00:34:35

There is a lot of Doth protesting too much about goodbye YouTube, I'm leaving YouTube, I'm feeling much better without YouTube.

TREY GERRALD: 00:34:41

And then it's like, hello

CHELSEY DONN: 00:34:42

again, here I am.

TREY GERRALD: 00:34:44

Even if you did delete YouTube and you're not using it, then get off of the app store and leave reviews for it, like if you're gonna leave it, leave it.

CHELSEY DONN: 00:34:53

It's like an extra, like, why are you so obsessed with me, like, aw, yeah,

TREY GERRALD: 00:34:56

why are

CHELSEY DONN: 00:34:56

you so obsessed with me,

TREY GERRALD: 00:34:58

you're only hurting yourself, baby,

CHELSEY DONN: 00:34:59

exactly, babe, let it go,

TREY GERRALD: 00:35:02

Do you think there's a YouTube video that could teach us how to get the scoop out more easily?

TREY GERRALD: 00:35:55

The scoop?

TREY GERRALD: 00:35:56

Oh, the powder?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:35:58

Like a tap tap on the side or something?

CHELSEY DONN: 00:36:00

I don't know.

TREY GERRALD: 00:36:01
