Trey: 00:00:30

Hey!

Chelsey: 00:00:31

Hi!

Chelsey: 00:00:31

Is it bad to jam out to your own theme song?

Chelsey: 00:00:34

I dunno , I was enjoying that!

Trey: 00:00:35

I mean, it's like the best, right?

Trey: 00:00:37

We're so lucky to have that amazing theme song.

Chelsey: 00:00:40

Wow, Natalie really?

Chelsey: 00:00:42

Knocked it out of the park.

Trey: 00:00:43

And so did Joe.

Chelsey: 00:00:44

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:00:44

And Joe, thank you, Joe.

Chelsey: 00:00:45

Thank you.

Chelsey: 00:00:46

Thank you!

Chelsey: 00:00:46

Brilliant.

Trey: 00:00:47

Well, anyway,

Chelsey: 00:00:48

Anyway,

Trey: 00:00:49

Hey listeners.

Trey: 00:00:51

Welcome to Review That Review.

Trey: 00:00:53

The podcast dedicated to reviewing...

Chelsey: 00:00:56

...reviews were just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of reviewing cinematic

Trey: 00:01:06

Oh, yes, that is Chelsey Donn

Chelsey: 00:01:09

and that's Trey Gerrald.

Trey: 00:01:11

But when we come together, we are

VOICEOVER: 00:01:14

The Review Queens.

Chelsey: 00:01:18

Gosh, these crowns are so heavy, you know, but someone's got to wear them.

Trey: 00:01:23

We, we don't actually have to wear them.

Trey: 00:01:25

This is a podcast.

Chelsey: 00:01:26

Oh, right.

Chelsey: 00:01:27

Well, okay.

Chelsey: 00:01:28

Anyway how's your week, Trey?

Trey: 00:01:31

Oh, I feel like I always really need a huge exhale.

Trey: 00:01:34

When you ask me that question.

Chelsey: 00:01:36

I know it is sort of an exhale inducing question.

Chelsey: 00:01:40

I'll give you that.

Trey: 00:01:40

But I don't know what I'm really exhaling about.

Trey: 00:01:42

I mean, I feel like I had a really great week.

Trey: 00:01:44

My husband.

Chelsey: 00:01:45

Good!

Trey: 00:01:45

Thank you.

Trey: 00:01:46

Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to say thank you for saying good.

Trey: 00:01:49

Oh good.

Trey: 00:01:50

My, my husband David, uh, you know, the world has started opening back up and so he, um, is a

Trey: 00:01:58

He had two separate weddings so I've been playing, you know, bachelor.

Trey: 00:02:03

Which has been fun.

Trey: 00:02:04

I can just like stretch out in a huge starfish in the bed, except for

Trey: 00:02:10

If I take up space that she wants, but I don't know.

Trey: 00:02:13

I've had a really good week.

Trey: 00:02:14

It's been nice to sorta just do my own timeframe.

Trey: 00:02:17

No, nothing like, yeah.

Trey: 00:02:20

What about you?

Trey: 00:02:20

How your week

Chelsey: 00:02:21

Livin' the life.

Chelsey: 00:02:22

My week's been good.

Chelsey: 00:02:24

I'm visiting family for the first time in over a year, since this whole COVID debacle,

Trey: 00:02:31

I was going to say the room that you're currently in looks strangely familiar to me.

Chelsey: 00:02:35

I know, it is weird.

Chelsey: 00:02:37

I, maybe you notice I'm not shooting my normal location today.

Chelsey: 00:02:41

I'm in the drag queen room at Trey's house.

Trey: 00:02:45

there's also a little tiny picture of me as Peter pan

Chelsey: 00:02:50

right there, and his shadow, his husband, but not like, but you

Chelsey: 00:02:55

here we are.

Chelsey: 00:02:56

I'm visiting.

Chelsey: 00:02:57

So I get to see Trey, which is great.

Chelsey: 00:02:59

I also have a nephew named Trey, so I got to see him as well.

Chelsey: 00:03:03

it's been a good week.

Chelsey: 00:03:04

I've been getting up a lot earlier than I ever have.

Chelsey: 00:03:07

I always thought I wasn't a morning person.

Chelsey: 00:03:09

It turns out I just don't have children.

Chelsey: 00:03:11

You know, like, I guess you're you become a morning person when there are three

Chelsey: 00:03:16

It's the daytime," you know, eventually, you're just like, Ugh, I guess I should get up.

Chelsey: 00:03:21

So, been getting up earlier.

Chelsey: 00:03:23

So that's a good thing.

Chelsey: 00:03:24

And I celebrated my sister's birthday, last week, which was really nice.

Chelsey: 00:03:28

We haven't been together for a birthday in a while, so overall good week.

Trey: 00:03:33

I love that.

Chelsey: 00:03:34

Yeah!

Trey: 00:03:35

I feel like we're nailing, Um, having positive energy, which is a nice

Chelsey: 00:03:41

It's true.

Chelsey: 00:03:42

I think we've all learned to appreciate the little things.

Trey: 00:03:45

Yeah

Chelsey: 00:03:45

And with that in mind....

Trey: 00:03:47

Yeah.

Trey: 00:03:47

With that.

Trey: 00:03:47

Yeah, exactly.

Trey: 00:03:48

Perfect segue

Chelsey: 00:03:50

with that in mind, that brings us to

VOICEOVER: 00:03:53

Lodge a Complaint.

Chelsey: 00:03:56

Let's complain about stuff.

Chelsey: 00:03:57

Cause it feels good.

Chelsey: 00:03:59

So I was driving here today.

Chelsey: 00:04:00

Let's just like keep it in real time.

Chelsey: 00:04:02

And there are some construction people I'll call them who are working on the road, which is great.

Chelsey: 00:04:08

And then there was a sign and it said, "Men Working" and it was triggering to me.

Chelsey: 00:04:13

I don't know why it's not because necessarily I've seen a lot of women construction

Chelsey: 00:04:22

And there are plenty of women who are perfectly capable and I don't understand why the sign

Chelsey: 00:04:33

I'd never seen that before.

Chelsey: 00:04:34

Have you seen that before Trey?

Trey: 00:04:35

Of course.

" Chelsey: 00:04:36

Men Working?!"

Trey: 00:04:37

yeah.

Chelsey: 00:04:37

This is a thing?

Trey: 00:04:38

Was it like a big orange diamond or whatever?

Chelsey: 00:04:40

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:04:41

It was like a big orange diamond, but it said Men Work...

Chelsey: 00:04:43

I mean, like I've seen like

Trey: 00:04:44

Work Zone?

Chelsey: 00:04:45

Work Zone exactly.

Chelsey: 00:04:47

Or like.

Chelsey: 00:04:47

you know, Working Ahead, Caution Working, you know, but like Working Men, like,

Chelsey: 00:04:54

And like, why are we assuming?

Trey: 00:04:56

That's, uh, I mean, it, like, I didn't even, I didn't even flinch at the

Trey: 00:05:01

I've never thought about it.

Chelsey: 00:05:03

I think this is a, your area thing.

Chelsey: 00:05:05

I've never seen this before.

Chelsey: 00:05:06

I'm wondering if our listeners have seen this.

Chelsey: 00:05:08

Am I just weird?

Trey: 00:05:09

I feel like even in the deep south we had Men Working signs.

Chelsey: 00:05:13

Men Working?

Trey: 00:05:14

Yeah.

Trey: 00:05:15

But no, you're right.

Trey: 00:05:15

It's incredibly gendered.

Trey: 00:05:16

Like it doesn't really pass the 2021 test.

Chelsey: 00:05:19

No, I'm giving out a big old fail and I'd like to lodge a complaint.

Trey: 00:05:23

Do you, have like a, a suggestion for what the new signs should say and look like?

Chelsey: 00:05:28

I mean, I'm not really that disturbed by the actual design.

Chelsey: 00:05:31

I get it orange, you know, triangle seems right.

Chelsey: 00:05:35

So that's fine for me.

Trey: 00:05:36

reflective...

Chelsey: 00:05:36

I think just maybe like Work In Progress, you know?

Chelsey: 00:05:41

Right.

Chelsey: 00:05:41

Like, we're all a work in progress.

Chelsey: 00:05:43

I was driving and I saw a sign.

Chelsey: 00:05:46

It was orange and it was like Work In Progress.

Chelsey: 00:05:48

I'd be like, yeah, that's right.

Chelsey: 00:05:49

Like a good reminder.

Chelsey: 00:05:50

Like I am a work in progress.

Chelsey: 00:05:52

Like I don't need to be perfect.

Chelsey: 00:05:53

I'm a work in progress just like this road, but instead it's like MEN Working Here.

Chelsey: 00:05:59

So I have to be reminded of the patriarchy, just complaint lodged.

Trey: 00:06:03

I hear that.

Trey: 00:06:03

That is, it's a really great point.

Trey: 00:06:05

I'm never going to see one of those signs the same way again.

Chelsey: 00:06:08

Ahh!, I'm so glad I could change something in the world.

Trey: 00:06:12

I'm also ready to

VOICEOVER: 00:06:13

Lodge a Complaint.

Trey: 00:06:14

So this seems very, um, trivial, But I actually was thinking about this.

Trey: 00:06:19

You mentioned in an earlier podcast, the Siri feature on your apple

Chelsey: 00:06:27

All the time.

Trey: 00:06:28

It really started making me think about like how technology is all consuming.

Trey: 00:06:32

And I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but I am constantly being alerted

Trey: 00:06:42

It makes me.

Trey: 00:06:43

Crazy.

Trey: 00:06:45

I-.

Trey: 00:06:45

I-.

Trey: 00:06:46

I-.

Trey: 00:06:46

Like, I, I think it's all a ploy from the man in order to like, get us to spend money

Trey: 00:06:57

It actually like made me realize, oh my gosh, I've had my Gmail account

Trey: 00:07:05

I just archive it.

Trey: 00:07:06

So it's probably like, pre 2007, maybe of just like random emails, but the

Trey: 00:07:15

I get very sentimental.

Trey: 00:07:16

it's like, I don't need this email from whatever, but I I'm afraid to let go of

Trey: 00:07:24

I've never thought about it.

Trey: 00:07:25

It's just become a huge thing that makes me feel like I will never be able to Marie Kondo

Chelsey: 00:07:34

Oh my god.

Chelsey: 00:07:34

I hear you so hard.

Chelsey: 00:07:35

I've had to upgrade twice from like the smaller package to the larger package.

Chelsey: 00:07:40

I'm now up to a larger package,

Chelsey: 00:07:42

Of what?

Trey: 00:07:42

Gmail or Apple?

Chelsey: 00:07:44

Of Gmail ...of Google storage.

Chelsey: 00:07:45

Cause I've also refused to delete for sentimental reasons.

Chelsey: 00:07:49

I know, but also like.

Chelsey: 00:07:50

Cost benefit analysis.

Chelsey: 00:07:52

You know what I mean?

Chelsey: 00:07:53

Like me spending that time that it would take to sieve through all

Chelsey: 00:08:00

I mean, they just got me, they got us all.

Trey: 00:08:03

Well, that's my actual complaint here.

Trey: 00:08:05

It's not me.

Trey: 00:08:06

It's not my attachment.

Trey: 00:08:08

actually my

Trey: 00:08:09

... Chelsey: their fault!

Trey: 00:08:09

No, my complaint here is this isn't like a landmine in North Dakota of garbage.

Trey: 00:08:16

Landfill.

Trey: 00:08:17

It's not a landfill in North Dakota of garbage.

Trey: 00:08:19

This is like digital storage.

Trey: 00:08:21

Like, why does, why do we need to be charged for this?

Trey: 00:08:24

Like, it's not like it's taking up actual space.

Trey: 00:08:27

Google just wants money.

Chelsey: 00:08:28

I don't really know enough about this, but I think there is something of like server

Chelsey: 00:08:35

Like a amount of energy that your data takes up.

Trey: 00:08:40

Is that true?

Chelsey: 00:08:41

I don't know.

Trey: 00:08:42

It's this global warming

Chelsey: 00:08:43

Could be.

Trey: 00:08:44

Are we talking about the Green New Deal?

Chelsey: 00:08:45

I think we might be!

Trey: 00:08:47

Okay.

Trey: 00:08:48

Well then I'm all for it.

Trey: 00:08:49

All right.

Trey: 00:08:49

Great.

Chelsey: 00:08:51

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:08:52

God, I feel so much better now.

Trey: 00:08:54

I feel like that that really lightens my emotional load, Ewww, that sounded really.

Trey: 00:09:00

I don't like that.

Trey: 00:09:00

I don't like that.

Trey: 00:09:01

I said that.

Trey: 00:09:01

I felt so much happier now.

Chelsey: 00:09:03

I do feel happier.

Chelsey: 00:09:05

Oh my goodness.

Chelsey: 00:09:05

It just feels like this is why people get it out.

Chelsey: 00:09:09

Get the complaints out, let's get it out.

Chelsey: 00:09:11

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:09:11

But enough of us let's hear some other people complaining.

Trey: 00:09:14

You know what I love the sound of that let's do it.

Chelsey: 00:09:17

I think we should.

Chelsey: 00:09:18

And as you guys know, we are your trusty Review Queens.

Chelsey: 00:09:22

Each episode, we both bring in a review from the internet that we think needs to be inspected.

Chelsey: 00:09:28

We read you the review, we break it down and then once we think we've got a good handle

Chelsey: 00:09:38

It's a very Regal process that we call

VOICEOVER: 00:09:41

Assess Kvetch!

Trey: 00:09:45

Okay, but Chelsey, I don't speak Yiddish.

Trey: 00:09:47

What does that word "key-vetch" mean?

Chelsey: 00:09:50

Kvetch, it means complain.

Chelsey: 00:09:52

Complaint.

Trey: 00:09:53

Oh, so what we were literally just doing in the last segment.

Trey: 00:09:56

Cool.

Trey: 00:09:56

Got it.

Trey: 00:09:57

Continue.

Chelsey: 00:09:58

Yes.

Chelsey: 00:09:58

It takes a Kvetcher to know a Kvetcher.

Chelsey: 00:10:00

So are you ready?

Trey: 00:10:02

You know what, Chelsey I'm ready.

Trey: 00:10:03

Who's first this week.

Chelsey: 00:10:04

Am I first?

Chelsey: 00:10:05

I'm first, Ahh, I'm first.

Chelsey: 00:10:07

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:10:07

I don't know why this always gets so scary, but it does

VOICEOVER: 00:10:12

Review That Review.

Chelsey: 00:10:15

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:10:16

I am reading a review tonight from or whatever time of day it is for you.

Chelsey: 00:10:24

I I'm reading this review from TripAdvisor of Spa Castle written by Kim Y it is a one-star review

Trey: 00:10:37

Wait, let me get my note pad ready.

Trey: 00:10:39

I want to be able to take notes

Chelsey: 00:10:40

Oh yeah, take notes.

Trey: 00:10:41

Okay.

Trey: 00:10:41

I'm ready.

Trey: 00:10:41

I'm ready.

Chelsey: 00:10:42

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:10:42

" On Friday night, August 23rd, 2019, when I was standing at the Spa Castle's entrance,

Chelsey: 00:10:55

Yup.

Chelsey: 00:10:56

He was grabbing me from behind saying, 'oh, what's this, what's that?' And then takes my bag and

Chelsey: 00:11:11

When he reached into my shopping bag and pulls out my water bottle

Chelsey: 00:11:17

I walked away to a distance in a corner and proceeded to drink the water.

Chelsey: 00:11:23

The poor professionalism came in when, while I was drinking the water bottle, the same

Chelsey: 00:11:34

'Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:11:35

Yeah, drink that shit yeah.

Chelsey: 00:11:38

Drink that shit.' As he was bobbing his head up and down and the clerk staffs continued giggling,

Chelsey: 00:11:51

Consequently.

Chelsey: 00:11:52

the employees were extremely derogatory and unprofessional, and I can't

Chelsey: 00:12:03

What was surprising is that the manager did not seem to be aware of any employee

Chelsey: 00:12:12

The security staffs, poor choice of words and immaturity at Spa Castle was

Chelsey: 00:12:20

As a result of this matter, do not go here.

Chelsey: 00:12:23

Management needs to be corrected and improved.

Chelsey: 00:12:26

The pools are also not cleaned.

Chelsey: 00:12:28

And I found feces wiped all over the basin and shower head area.

Chelsey: 00:12:34

I nearly threw up thinking it was a similar representation of the clean hot Springs in Japan.

Chelsey: 00:12:41

I've been to Japan too.

Chelsey: 00:12:43

And the quality was nowhere as close to being good as compared to Japan's,

Chelsey: 00:12:52

My take home message.

Chelsey: 00:12:53

Here is not a great place to decompress.

Trey: 00:13:00

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:13:01

I got emotional there.

Chelsey: 00:13:02

I think I was near tears at one point, to be honest, I was really

Trey: 00:13:08

Well, first of all, it's my first impression here is like, Like at first, I was

Trey: 00:13:15

That's so crazy.

Trey: 00:13:16

And then I was like, okay, so this is about like being stopped for the water

Trey: 00:13:20

You can't bring that inside, like getting on an airplane or something.

Chelsey: 00:13:23

Yeah.

Trey: 00:13:24

And then out of nowhere, PS, the pool's dirty.

Trey: 00:13:28

And then she just had, or they, have to just say the word fecal matter or feces.

Trey: 00:13:32

It's like, Eww,

Chelsey: 00:13:34

Oh my God.

Chelsey: 00:13:35

I mean, first of all, Kim Y, if nothing else has a lot of passion, I will give her that.

Chelsey: 00:13:42

You know, I think that she is very, very passionate on the subject.

Chelsey: 00:13:47

and I also think that.

Chelsey: 00:13:50

She likes, she has character dialogue in here, you know, like they, yeah, yeah.

Chelsey: 00:13:53

Drink that shit.

Chelsey: 00:13:54

Drink that shit.

Chelsey: 00:13:55

Like th th like this took me on a journey.

Chelsey: 00:13:58

You know what I mean?

Trey: 00:13:59

Did she spell out?

Trey: 00:14:00

S H I T

Chelsey: 00:14:02

she didn't.

Chelsey: 00:14:02

She had a good question.

Chelsey: 00:14:04

She did put S H asterisk T every time she wrote shit.

Chelsey: 00:14:10

but she did write out feces.

Chelsey: 00:14:13

Just in case you're wondering

Trey: 00:14:15

how old do you think Kim is?

Chelsey: 00:14:18

Ooh, that's a good question.

Chelsey: 00:14:19

I think Kim, I feel like Kim's like in her late twenties, but she thinks she knows everything.

Chelsey: 00:14:25

You know, she's like one of those late twenties and it's like, I've lived a life,

Trey: 00:14:30

Well, I think to me, like what I keep thinking about Okay.

Trey: 00:14:34

I've personally never been to Spa Castle,

Chelsey: 00:14:36

Same.

Trey: 00:14:37

But I've heard of it.

Chelsey: 00:14:38

Yeah, of course.

Trey: 00:14:39

Is that a policy that you cannot bring outside water in?

Chelsey: 00:14:43

I mean, I just went to a Korean Spa this past weekend for my sister's birthday

Trey: 00:14:54

Are there signs that say like no...

Chelsey: 00:14:56

Yeah, there are signs there's like no outside food, no outside water.

Chelsey: 00:14:59

They're going to be checking bags.

Chelsey: 00:15:01

So like, I don't really think that this complaint by Kim Y is, I mean, the, the

Chelsey: 00:15:11

So the, just the water thing, even though she was saying it was such

Chelsey: 00:15:16

Like "on Friday night, August 23rd, 2019."

Chelsey: 00:15:19

I mean, there's clearly a lot of drama.

Chelsey: 00:15:21

It's like she's, um, It's almost like she's writing a police report,

Chelsey: 00:15:26

She sent this in to the police also.

Chelsey: 00:15:29

cause that's what it feels like, but yeah, the first part of it with the water, I

Chelsey: 00:15:35

I mean, I don't like that they were bullying her.

Chelsey: 00:15:37

It sounds like maybe

Trey: 00:15:38

Well, that's my question about her age, because I've never

Trey: 00:15:44

Do you go through like security?

Trey: 00:15:46

Like do you go through like a metal scanner or do they literally just like you slide

Chelsey: 00:15:54

Correct mean, I don't, again, like I've never been to Spa Castle, but yes.

Chelsey: 00:15:57

You know, this weekend when I went to, this Korean spa.

Chelsey: 00:16:01

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:16:01

You had, you like checked in, you, you know, gave all of your initial information and then

Chelsey: 00:16:15

Do you have, you know, water?

Chelsey: 00:16:17

And they saw my sister's water bottle.

Chelsey: 00:16:19

And they were like, oh, you have that.

Chelsey: 00:16:20

She's like, yeah, it's empty.

Chelsey: 00:16:22

And they were like, oh, no problem.

Chelsey: 00:16:23

Because they have at this spa, like a lot of water stations where you can fill up a water bottle.

Chelsey: 00:16:29

So the idea is you can bring a water bottle.

Chelsey: 00:16:31

It just has to be empty.

Trey: 00:16:33

Well, that's how it is at the airport too, because David, my husband, always

Chelsey: 00:16:41

Totally.

Chelsey: 00:16:42

So I think that the water issue is like, Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:16:45

I mean, I think they were making fun of her because there's probably a plethora

Chelsey: 00:16:52

I still don't think it's right that they bullied her.

Chelsey: 00:16:54

If she wants to drink the water, she should drink the water.

Chelsey: 00:16:57

but I do think that, like, it sounds like it's a policy and Kim Y is just

Trey: 00:17:04

That is absolutely occurring to me.

Trey: 00:17:06

And I was also wondering like with the age question, like.

Trey: 00:17:10

are there signs that are like, this is our policy?

Trey: 00:17:13

And then she was like trying to slip it in, like, because the way she words, Kim

Trey: 00:17:26

Like, I guess I'm questioning.

Chelsey: 00:17:28

she says, "I was standing at the Spa Castle entrance.

Chelsey: 00:17:30

The security staff stopped me, reached in to my bag behind me, without my permission.

Chelsey: 00:17:37

He was grabbing me from behind saying, 'oh, what's this, what's that?' And then

Chelsey: 00:17:45

I don't know, like, I don't know what the security lineup is.

Chelsey: 00:17:48

It sounds like you're right.

Chelsey: 00:17:49

Maybe there was like a security desk and she just assumed she could walk right by it.

Chelsey: 00:17:54

And the guy was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

Chelsey: 00:17:56

You have a water bottle.

Chelsey: 00:17:57

I need to check your bag.

Trey: 00:17:59

that's what I think as well.

Trey: 00:18:01

I'm wondering if, Kim is trying to illustrate a victimness to a policy of like, you, you

Trey: 00:18:11

I mean, we'll never actually have a solution to that.

Trey: 00:18:13

But to me, it, I also agree that it seems like Kim is really attached to not liking something.

Trey: 00:18:18

That's a policy.

Chelsey: 00:18:20

Yeah, good point.

Chelsey: 00:18:21

I think it's worthy of, of noting that this could be a policy that she just

Trey: 00:18:29

but if they were literally reaching into the bag without acknowledgement.

Trey: 00:18:32

That's wrong,

Chelsey: 00:18:33

That's the thing too.

Chelsey: 00:18:34

Like, I don't want to completely write off the experience because even if it is policy, obviously

Chelsey: 00:18:41

You know, the reach behind and all that seems a little bit shady.

Chelsey: 00:18:44

So I don't know, I'm questioning that part of it.

Trey: 00:18:47

I want to just also say here that like my Karen-Dar is going off.

Chelsey: 00:18:51

with the manager!

Trey: 00:18:52

Well, it's a little Kareny, especially being like I spoke to the manager.

Trey: 00:18:57

And the manager didn't think anything was wrong,

Chelsey: 00:18:59

Yeah!

Trey: 00:18:59

But then also like throwing in that the pool is dirty and throwing in

Trey: 00:19:08

And also the whole feces thing.

Trey: 00:19:10

It's like, wait, what?

Trey: 00:19:11

Or it's all like a side noise, like you're upset that you were harassed.

Trey: 00:19:17

then you're just throwing in a bunch of complaints at the end, which makes me think that.

Trey: 00:19:21

I don't know that I would trust this point of view.

Chelsey: 00:19:24

Yeah, I hear you.

Chelsey: 00:19:26

I mean, I think you're right.

Chelsey: 00:19:27

I think that they spent a lot of real estate talking about everything up until

Chelsey: 00:19:33

Like I was honestly based on the beginning of the review.

Chelsey: 00:19:36

I don't know if you were thinking this too, but as I was reading it, I was surprised

Chelsey: 00:19:45

It was such a horrendous experience.

Chelsey: 00:19:47

I was emotionally scarred.

Chelsey: 00:19:49

I immediately wrote this down and went to the police department and dropped it off.

Chelsey: 00:19:53

they didn't really say at any point,

Chelsey: 00:19:56

that they went in right.

Chelsey: 00:19:58

Like it's, to me, it was like, it felt like the order of events where,

Chelsey: 00:20:04

I drank my water.

Chelsey: 00:20:05

I was harassed.

Chelsey: 00:20:06

The more, like I finally got through.

Chelsey: 00:20:08

And I was like, I want to speak to the manager immediately.

Chelsey: 00:20:10

So to me, I'm like, I'm not even in the spa yet.

Chelsey: 00:20:12

I can't even go past this.

Chelsey: 00:20:14

I'm just like, I need to speak to a manager.

Chelsey: 00:20:15

And then I have to the manager and the manager doesn't even care.

Chelsey: 00:20:19

And now I'm like even more disturbed because the manager doesn't care

Chelsey: 00:20:24

Right?

Chelsey: 00:20:25

And so I'm saying, because of all this, I wouldn't go here, which all that is

Chelsey: 00:20:33

It's just the management, what they're saying, the management needs to be improved.

Chelsey: 00:20:36

And then there's the last, like three sentences, is when they're like, the pools are not cleaned.

Chelsey: 00:20:42

And I found feces, wiped all over the basin in the shower.

Chelsey: 00:20:45

And I nearly threw up thinking about it,

Trey: 00:20:47

Yeah.

Trey: 00:20:49

Also I feel like the security people laughing about like, yeah, I think saying, drink

Trey: 00:20:57

Drink ha ha like they're trying to be like,

Chelsey: 00:20:59

Drink that shit, go for it.

Trey: 00:21:01

You're so annoying.

Trey: 00:21:02

Like you tried to sneak this in and like, you can't.So, drink it.

Trey: 00:21:07

Do you think there's any value or unique information from this review?

Chelsey: 00:21:10

I mean, I, I'm not gonna lie.

Chelsey: 00:21:12

I feel like the feces thing kind of threw me for a loop and I would definitely call and

Chelsey: 00:21:23

I mean, this was written in 2019.

Chelsey: 00:21:25

but other than that, I agree.

Chelsey: 00:21:27

not a lot, but I will say that, the spelling and grammar.

Chelsey: 00:21:31

It looks really strong.

Chelsey: 00:21:32

I mean, they even had a word written in Japanese characters with the, hot

Chelsey: 00:21:39

So I know you can't see this review, but I just,

Trey: 00:21:41

Yeah

Chelsey: 00:21:42

like, I wouldn't be surprised if, if Kim Y had an Ivy league degree,

Chelsey: 00:21:46

like that's, that's how well.

Chelsey: 00:21:48

This is coming off.

Chelsey: 00:21:48

Not that I'm saying that, you know, that makes this review truthful or valuable,

Trey: 00:21:58

Well, on that note, do you think they're being shady or do you think they're being honest?

Trey: 00:22:03

I am questioning the, honesty here.

Trey: 00:22:07

I don't know.

Trey: 00:22:07

It feels all a little bit colored.

Chelsey: 00:22:10

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:22:10

I definitely agree.

Chelsey: 00:22:11

I think my, my shady-dar is going up definitely a bit.

Chelsey: 00:22:15

I, I don't like to say that I don't believe someone who says that they were attacked,

Chelsey: 00:22:30

Is this a common experience?

Chelsey: 00:22:32

Do we think, do you think other people run into this problem, a lot

Trey: 00:22:35

Well, if it's a policy that you cannot bring outside beverage and

Trey: 00:22:41

Maybe that's not policy for Spa Castle, but it's going to be common.

Trey: 00:22:45

You can't bring it in.

Trey: 00:22:47

And if you think that you are special and that you can, then, you know,

Trey: 00:22:53

Um,

Chelsey: 00:22:53

I agree.

Chelsey: 00:22:54

Should I look up the policy?

Chelsey: 00:22:56

I'm curious.

Trey: 00:22:57

Yeah,

Chelsey: 00:22:57

Let's keep discussing while I do this.

Trey: 00:23:00

What about, um, humor?

Trey: 00:23:02

Do you think it was entertaining?

Trey: 00:23:03

I don't know.

Trey: 00:23:04

I mean, I was entertained by like the random dropping of the word feces, but

Trey: 00:23:20

They're wanting to like punish Spa Castle.

Chelsey: 00:23:23

I agree.

Chelsey: 00:23:23

But I think if I'm trying to take all of my bias aside and just be the most,

Chelsey: 00:23:32

I would say it's entertaining.

Chelsey: 00:23:34

Like she takes us on a journey for sure.

Trey: 00:23:37

True.

Chelsey: 00:23:37

You know, this could be an episode of SVU, by the way that she writes it.

Chelsey: 00:23:41

So like, I think that it was quite entertaining.

Chelsey: 00:23:44

For me, this was pretty much a cold read and I was quite entertained.

Chelsey: 00:23:49

And in that time I also did find the food and drink policy for Spa Castle, and it clearly says

Chelsey: 00:24:00

Guests must discard or finish any food or beverage prior to entering the facilities.

Chelsey: 00:24:06

Spa Castle will not store any food or beverages.

Chelsey: 00:24:09

No exceptions.

Chelsey: 00:24:10

" Trey: All right.

Chelsey: 00:24:10

So that's kind of what I was suspecting.

Chelsey: 00:24:13

Yeah, I just wanted to do it, do our due diligence, you know, just

Trey: 00:24:19

Well, I wanna, let me ask my absolute favorite question.

Chelsey: 00:24:23

Yeah.

Trey: 00:24:24

If you were Kim Y's grandmother, would you hang this review on the fridge?

Trey: 00:24:28

Do you think that you're empathizing with Kim?

Trey: 00:24:31

What do you think?

Trey: 00:24:32

What's the impact.

Chelsey: 00:24:33

Oof, It's like, I want to say it would hang into my fridge just because

Chelsey: 00:24:44

Just the way I didn't even know some of these commas were appropriate, but they were, we have

Chelsey: 00:24:55

Probably not.

Trey: 00:24:56

Yeah, no, I don't think it's a, it's definitely not a deal breaker to me

Chelsey: 00:25:01

Yeah.

Trey: 00:25:01

And no, I don't empathize.

Chelsey: 00:25:03

Yeah, I wouldn't not go to Spa Castle.

Chelsey: 00:25:06

I mean, I would maybe call about the fecal matter, but I wouldn't not

Chelsey: 00:25:13

Do we think that we're ready to crown it?

Trey: 00:25:16

I think I'm ready.

Chelsey: 00:25:17

Alright!

Trey: 00:25:17

Okay.

Trey: 00:25:18

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

Trey: 00:25:22

So in an effort to be fair with our rating and in order to not be influenced by one another,

Chelsey: 00:25:33

Oh my Goodness,

VOICEOVER: 00:25:35

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey: 00:25:37

Alright Chelsey.

Trey: 00:25:37

Are you ready?

Chelsey: 00:25:39

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:25:40

I'm ready.

VOICEOVER: 00:25:46

Total Score

Chelsey: 00:25:49

Wow!

Trey: 00:25:49

Whoa!

Trey: 00:25:51

So I am holding up my one crown card.

Chelsey: 00:25:55

And I gave it three crowns!

Trey: 00:25:57

Okay.

Trey: 00:25:57

Explain your three crowns honey.

Chelsey: 00:25:59

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:26:00

I know I was really stuck between two and three.

Chelsey: 00:26:02

I wasn't considering one personally, just because I felt like.

Chelsey: 00:26:06

It was well-written.

Chelsey: 00:26:08

, it did take us on a journey.

Chelsey: 00:26:10

There was a narrative, there was an emotional attachment.

Chelsey: 00:26:12

This was like, uh, did feel like a real person, not a bot to me.

Chelsey: 00:26:17

how's could I defend myself?

Chelsey: 00:26:18

My goodness.

Chelsey: 00:26:19

I was entertained by Kim Y.

Chelsey: 00:26:23

I did think it was like, kind of funny and that's it.

Chelsey: 00:26:27

That's why I gave her three crowns.

Chelsey: 00:26:29

Everything else I detected because I don't believe her, but it was entertaining.

Trey: 00:26:35

And for me it giving it one crown, I just felt like if, if you're going to

Trey: 00:26:44

You have to honor the policy.

Trey: 00:26:46

And if your bag was behind you, then you were maybe trying to sneak it in, which is

Trey: 00:26:53

and then I just felt like Kim was angry and wanted to get even.

Trey: 00:26:57

So they spoke to the manager, they went and left a negative review, and then they

Trey: 00:27:05

So one crown Kim.

Chelsey: 00:27:08

All right.

Chelsey: 00:27:09

I buy that.

Chelsey: 00:27:10

Maybe I should have gone with two.

Trey: 00:27:12

No, no, no.

Trey: 00:27:13

You're you are you're score is great.

Chelsey: 00:27:15

Thank you.

Chelsey: 00:27:16

Thank you for making me feel confident.

Chelsey: 00:27:18

That was a lot though.

Chelsey: 00:27:20

I did get emotional when I was reading that just

Trey: 00:27:23

I know I'm like steamed up.

Chelsey: 00:27:25

I am steamed up too.

Chelsey: 00:27:27

I think that I need a little bit of like a pallet cleanse.

Trey: 00:27:30

Okay, yeah, me too.

Trey: 00:27:31

So let's take a quick break.

Trey: 00:27:32

And then when we come back, we can play with Meryl Streep before we go into my review.

Chelsey: 00:27:37

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:27:38

I love it.

Chelsey: 00:27:38

BRB.

Trey: 00:27:39

VOICEOVER: 00:27:44

We'll be right back.

Trey: 00:27:54

Oh, wow.

Trey: 00:27:54

Hey Queens.

Trey: 00:27:55

Look, we know that it can get super annoying to constantly be asked to

Trey: 00:28:01

Look aside from the fact that our podcast is literally all about reviews.

Trey: 00:28:05

The reason we are asking is because it's important for us to know what you, the

Trey: 00:28:10

What do you love?

Trey: 00:28:11

What do you want less of now, as you know, review that review as an independent podcast,

Trey: 00:28:20

We have made it easier to rate and review us with a super cute hyperlink, henny.

Trey: 00:28:30

It's also just one little click away in the show description below.

Trey: 00:28:33

Trey: 00:28:35

Now back to the show!

Trey: 00:28:46

All right.

Trey: 00:28:46

Chels, Chels it's game time.

Trey: 00:28:48

It's time to take a little spin on the Meryl-Go-Round!

VOICEOVER: 00:28:54

I don't feel like an Icon.

VOICEOVER: 00:28:56

Most of the days, I feel like I can't!

VOICEOVER: 00:29:00

That's with an a.

Chelsey: 00:29:02

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:29:03

Here's the deal, Trey and I each pick a rotten scathing pithy one-star zinger.

Chelsey: 00:29:09

And with 30 seconds on the clock, we'll take turns, trying to recite the

Trey: 00:29:15

...just like queen Meryl, who does it all!

... Chelsey: 00:29:17

before the clock runs out.

Trey: 00:29:19

All right.

Trey: 00:29:19

So my, oh, this is one of my favorites.

Trey: 00:29:21

I didn't even realize.

Trey: 00:29:22

Okay.

Trey: 00:29:22

so my one star singer is from Amazon reviews.

And this is for Thomas and Friends:

: 00:29:26

Halloween Adventure, DVD, the review as it is blankly written is, one star.

And this is for Thomas and Friends:

: 00:29:38

I want to cancel this item, that's the subject.

And this is for Thomas and Friends:

: 00:29:41

Trey: 00:30:30

That's pretty good for me actually.

Chelsey: 00:30:32

Chelsey: 00:30:34

I guess it's my turn.

Chelsey: 00:30:35

Is that what this means

Trey: 00:30:37

Yeah.

Trey: 00:30:37

Four?

Trey: 00:30:38

Chelsey: 00:30:39

I'm that's okay.

Chelsey: 00:30:40

We can do this.

Chelsey: 00:30:41

So I'm going to read, I'm reading as one star zinger from Rotten Tomatoes, for the

Trey: 00:30:58

Chelsey: 00:30:59

Should have been funnier.

Trey: 00:31:02

Trey: 00:31:23

Pop star

Chelsey: 00:31:23

VOICEOVER: 00:31:41

That's All..

Chelsey: 00:31:42

I mean, that was not, iambic pentamiter, but I don't know what that was.

Trey: 00:31:46

Chelsey, you got six.

Trey: 00:31:48

That means,

Chelsey: 00:31:49

Trey: 00:31:50

That means, You're the winner.

Chelsey: 00:31:51

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:31:53

I'm so honored.

Trey: 00:31:54

Take a bow!

Chelsey: 00:31:55

Thank you.

Chelsey: 00:31:56

It was an honor to be nominated.

Chelsey: 00:31:57

I can't believe it.

Chelsey: 00:31:59

Um, wow!

Trey: 00:32:00

You're really good at that.

Chelsey: 00:32:01

Oh thank you!

Trey: 00:32:02

Like consistently you're like better, which is fine.

Trey: 00:32:06

It's not a competition except

Chelsey: 00:32:07

It's not a competition!

Trey: 00:32:08

Except it's a competition, but it's not,

Chelsey: 00:32:10

It's a little bit.

Trey: 00:32:11

But it doesn't really matter.

Trey: 00:32:12

All right.

Trey: 00:32:12

So let's get back into the real meat and potatoes.

VOICEOVER: 00:32:18

Review that review.

Chelsey: 00:32:21

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:32:22

We are back from that game break.

Chelsey: 00:32:24

And it's your turn Trey.

Chelsey: 00:32:26

What's your review from this week?

Trey: 00:32:27

All right.

Trey: 00:32:29

So I also have a review from TripAdvisor.

Trey: 00:32:32

Was it was yours TripAdvisor.

Trey: 00:32:34

TripAdvisor?

Trey: 00:32:35

Yes.

Trey: 00:32:35

Okay.

Trey: 00:32:36

this is,

Chelsey: 00:32:36

it's a one dot?

Trey: 00:32:37

It's a one, that's a one dot.

Trey: 00:32:38

Yep.

Trey: 00:32:39

this is from Mark15780.

Chelsey: 00:32:43

Mark15780.

Chelsey: 00:32:46

Okay.

Trey: 00:32:47

I wonder what that is, even...

Chelsey: 00:32:49

it's like his zip code.

Chelsey: 00:32:51

I don't know.

Trey: 00:32:51

Maybe, maybe, actually okay.

Trey: 00:32:53

And this is for, The Hard Rock Resort in Atlantic City.

Chelsey: 00:32:58

Oh my God I'm familiar

Trey: 00:33:00

Me too actually.

Trey: 00:33:00

So here we go.

Trey: 00:33:01

One dot.

Trey: 00:33:02

Buffet.

Trey: 00:33:04

All time worst buffet I have ever had in AC.

Trey: 00:33:10

They had no Italian.

Trey: 00:33:13

Their only carved meat was chickens cut in half.

Trey: 00:33:18

No beef.

Trey: 00:33:19

The lo mein was ice, cold cardboard worms, the sweet and sour chicken.

Trey: 00:33:26

I was afraid I would break all my crowns, the seafood bar, if you like raw, I guess was okay.

Trey: 00:33:33

I had cold shrimp.

Trey: 00:33:35

The seasoning was all wrong.

Trey: 00:33:38

It wasn't spicy is tasted sour.

Trey: 00:33:42

The waiter seen three plates of food, not touched and said he would tell the chef.

Trey: 00:33:50

Chef?

Trey: 00:33:51

For this garbage?

Trey: 00:33:53

The desserts were not bad.

Trey: 00:33:55

Tiramisu was good.

Trey: 00:33:57

Cream puffs, small, but good.

Trey: 00:33:59

They had a Sundae bar.

Trey: 00:34:01

The macaroons were hard as a rock.

Trey: 00:34:04

The red cake was sour.

Trey: 00:34:07

Something.

Trey: 00:34:07

Question mark question, mark.

Trey: 00:34:09

Terrible buffet that I will never ever go to again.

Trey: 00:34:15

Full price for terrible cold food with no selection.

Trey: 00:34:20

Manager, spelled MGR, offered me nothing to correct it.

Trey: 00:34:27

Didn't want my money back, but I wanted to tell the quote unquote chef, he was a crap cook.

Trey: 00:34:35

I was a restaurant manager, many years.

Trey: 00:34:39

This wasn't food, it was garbage.

Trey: 00:34:41

I doubt the seagulls would eat.

Trey: 00:34:43

Save your $29.95.

Trey: 00:34:45

Go to 100 times better.

Trey: 00:34:49

McD has beef.

Trey: 00:34:51

Something Hard Rock did not.

Trey: 00:34:55

Oh, sorry.

Trey: 00:34:56

McD has beef.

Trey: 00:34:58

Something Hard Rock did not.

Trey: 00:34:59

Gross.

Trey: 00:35:00

Terrible.

Trey: 00:35:01

They list a customer.

Trey: 00:35:03

Tossed my Rock Royalty Card in the urinal.

Trey: 00:35:10

Whoa.

Chelsey: 00:35:11

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:35:12

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:35:12

Mike, Mike.

Trey: 00:35:14

Mark.

Trey: 00:35:15

Mark,

Chelsey: 00:35:15

Mark, Mark.

Chelsey: 00:35:17

Sorry.

Trey: 00:35:17

Do not name him wrong.

Trey: 00:35:19

He will not like it.

Chelsey: 00:35:21

Mark.

Chelsey: 00:35:22

I, my apologies.

Chelsey: 00:35:23

It's obviously it's Mark AC.

Chelsey: 00:35:26

Um, that was a lot that was wild.

Chelsey: 00:35:29

That was quite a ride.

Chelsey: 00:35:31

there were a lot of things that Mark told us about his life.

Chelsey: 00:35:35

I like when he, he let us know that that eating the food could break all of his crowns.

Chelsey: 00:35:40

So now we know that, you know, he's probably has like a bit of a sweet tooth and.

Chelsey: 00:35:46

He, he had a lot of cavities in his day.

Chelsey: 00:35:48

Cause now he has a lot of crowns.

Chelsey: 00:35:50

So now we know that about him.

Chelsey: 00:35:51

I liked that he wanted to let us know, you know?

Trey: 00:35:53

Oh, look at you speaking like a true dentist's daughter.

Chelsey: 00:35:56

You know.

Chelsey: 00:35:57

I just appreciated the dental comment, but more than more than anything, a lot of spelling errors.

Trey: 00:36:03

Oh my God.

Trey: 00:36:03

I couldn't even read the sentence correctly.

Chelsey: 00:36:05

I mean, really like just left and right.

Chelsey: 00:36:09

All kinds of spelling errors, all kinds of shade being thrown around.

Chelsey: 00:36:13

How was I-talian spelled, was that a creative choice on your part?

Trey: 00:36:17

It was!

Trey: 00:36:18

It just says they had no Italian.

Chelsey: 00:36:19

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:36:20

I just, just asking.

Chelsey: 00:36:22

I did like the choice though.

Chelsey: 00:36:23

I liked it.,

Trey: 00:36:24

Thank

Chelsey: 00:36:25

cold schrimp, like.

Chelsey: 00:36:26

I don't, I'm allergic to shellfish and a shell shell fish, hard word to say.

Chelsey: 00:36:30

and I don't know that much about it, but isn't like shrimp sometimes shrimp is cold, right?

Chelsey: 00:36:35

Like a shrimp cocktail.

Trey: 00:36:37

It says the seafood bar.

Trey: 00:36:38

If you like raw, I guess was okay.

Trey: 00:36:41

I had cold shrimp.

Trey: 00:36:42

The seasoning was all wrong.

Trey: 00:36:44

So I don't know if that's related,

Chelsey: 00:36:45

I mean like a Raw bar is usually like on ice, like

Trey: 00:36:48

correct.

Chelsey: 00:36:49

Like shellfish on ice.

Chelsey: 00:36:51

Okay.

Chelsey: 00:36:51

So, our issue with that wasn't that it was cold.

Chelsey: 00:36:54

It was that it was under seasoned?

Trey: 00:36:55

Well, he says I had cold shrimp.

Trey: 00:36:57

The seasoning was all wrong.

Trey: 00:36:58

It wasn't spicy is tasted sour.

Chelsey: 00:37:01

Ooh.

Chelsey: 00:37:02

Yuck.

Chelsey: 00:37:03

Sour shrimp sounds really gross.

Trey: 00:37:04

Actually.

Trey: 00:37:05

That's so true.

Trey: 00:37:06

Yeah.

Trey: 00:37:07

But you know what?

Trey: 00:37:08

I just recognized.

Trey: 00:37:09

They, they like have shared with us, aside from their, their crowns, from liking

Chelsey: 00:37:17

Yes.

Trey: 00:37:18

And they say that McDonald's would be 100 times better, which is like, I feel like if, if

Chelsey: 00:37:30

Yeah, I agree.

Chelsey: 00:37:31

I think that you would have an air.

Chelsey: 00:37:33

I don't know, there was something about when he said that he was.

Chelsey: 00:37:35

A restaurant manager and he's in the area, like my, like, Ooh, are you a competitor?

Chelsey: 00:37:41

Like radar went up.

Chelsey: 00:37:42

Cause I was like, oh, you're a restaurant manager.

Chelsey: 00:37:44

Like where are you a restaurant manager?

Chelsey: 00:37:46

Like just seemed a little bit out of left field.

Chelsey: 00:37:49

He didn't say in the area, I'm assuming.

Trey: 00:37:51

Well, he's from, it does because it's TripAdvisor.

Trey: 00:37:54

It does say that Mark's profiles from Philadelphia.

Chelsey: 00:37:58

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:37:58

So he's from the area

Trey: 00:37:59

Very close.

Chelsey: 00:38:00

Yeah, that's the area.

Chelsey: 00:38:02

So I don't know that that kind of rubbed me the wrong way that he said that I was like, oh,

Chelsey: 00:38:10

I'm not saying I'm not accusing Mark, but I was questioning in that moment.

Chelsey: 00:38:15

Why he included that detail.

Chelsey: 00:38:17

It felt a little.

Chelsey: 00:38:18

Left field also like what's his obsession with beef.

Trey: 00:38:21

Yeah.

Trey: 00:38:21

I really thought about that too.

Trey: 00:38:22

They like, they really like beef.

Trey: 00:38:24

They're definitely not vegan.

Chelsey: 00:38:25

He really, I mean, he, and also he listed quite a number of selections

Chelsey: 00:38:37

There were clearly a lot of selections, whether or not they were good selections or

Trey: 00:38:40

his definition of good

Chelsey: 00:38:42

or his choice.

Chelsey: 00:38:44

I think he clearly has a sweet tooth and the only thing he had positive to say was the sweets.

Chelsey: 00:38:49

I mean, he, he dissed macaroons, but that's not at the top of the dessert food chain for me.

Trey: 00:38:55

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:38:56

What about the urinal comment?

Trey: 00:38:57

yeah, that's just so specific randomly.

Trey: 00:39:00

Like, why would you toss it in the urinal and not the toilet or the trashcan,

Chelsey: 00:39:07

Cause it's like, it's not going to flush and clog the toilet, but it's going to have to

Chelsey: 00:39:12

Is that the idea like,

Trey: 00:39:13

or maybe someone

Chelsey: 00:39:14

Let people piss on your shit,

Trey: 00:39:15

Maybe someone smart would be like, Ooh, I'm gonna see if this has a lot of points.

Chelsey: 00:39:20

Yeah, but then I got to like fish through piss to get it.

Trey: 00:39:22

It's Atlantic City!

Chelsey: 00:39:26

Good point, Trey Good points.

Chelsey: 00:39:31

I mean, are there any other areas that we've neglected to

Chelsey: 00:39:34

examine?

Trey: 00:39:35

I mean, do you find it valuable?

Trey: 00:39:37

I mean, I, you know, I actually appreciate that Mark qualified that they understand.

Trey: 00:39:43

Restaurant management.

Trey: 00:39:44

I kind of find it valuable.

Trey: 00:39:45

I don't know that it would represent my view, but I definitely am feeling a little bit of an impact.

Trey: 00:39:52

I do feel like I'm sitting here thinking maybe this is not the most top tier, buffet

Chelsey: 00:39:58

yeah, a couple things like one RIP buffets.

Trey: 00:40:01

oh my gosh

Chelsey: 00:40:02

Just for like a moment.

Trey: 00:40:03

Wait, I, David and I went to.

Trey: 00:40:05

A photography convention for him in Vegas, like literally right before lockdown.

Trey: 00:40:11

And it was my first time in Vegas.

Trey: 00:40:13

And I love a buffet.

Trey: 00:40:15

Even pointing out, like save the $29.95, even paying $30 for a buffet.

Trey: 00:40:19

It's like, it's just so, something about it is so epic to me.

Chelsey: 00:40:24

Agreed.

Chelsey: 00:40:24

it's always like you leave feeling absolutely ill.

Chelsey: 00:40:28

So that part of me is like, okay, maybe it's a good thing that we're moving away from the buffet.

Chelsey: 00:40:32

It means also possibility of the buffet survives this who knows, but was it impactful?

Chelsey: 00:40:39

I will say yes in the fact that I'm quite queasy.

Chelsey: 00:40:43

And if I read.

Chelsey: 00:40:45

Really any reviews that like say the shrimp was sour, but like it wasn't supposed to be

Chelsey: 00:40:57

Cause I'm already queasy.

Chelsey: 00:40:58

When I think about a buffet like, Ooh, do I trust you?

Chelsey: 00:41:00

And now I'm like,

Trey: 00:41:02

especially the...

Trey: 00:41:03

Oh, this is also another misspelling.

Trey: 00:41:04

There's there's the grammar is really bad.

Trey: 00:41:07

It's really bad.

Trey: 00:41:07

But he says the "lo Meim", M E I M was ice cold cardboard worms.

Trey: 00:41:15

That's just so funny to me.

Chelsey: 00:41:17

Eww, yeah, he was very descriptive in his words.

Chelsey: 00:41:20

I will give him that

Trey: 00:41:21

Wait, but, when I think of a cardboard worm, I think of it being 2D, which is really funny.

Chelsey: 00:41:25

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:41:25

I wouldn't have thought cardboard and worm like would go together.

Trey: 00:41:29

Right.

Trey: 00:41:29

But I guess like cold cardboard and

Chelsey: 00:41:31

cold cardboard.

Chelsey: 00:41:33

I don't know.

Chelsey: 00:41:33

I've not spent a lot of time eating cold cardboards.

Chelsey: 00:41:35

I can't really attest to it.

Trey: 00:41:36

I'm not a big lo mein person anyway,

Chelsey: 00:41:38

Me neither.

Chelsey: 00:41:39

Okay.

Trey: 00:41:39

All right.

Trey: 00:41:39

What about like did we cover humor?

Trey: 00:41:41

Is it humorous or entertaining?

Trey: 00:41:43

That's kind of,

Chelsey: 00:41:44

I mean, it was kind of funny.

Chelsey: 00:41:46

Like, I'll give them a little humor, was like, you know, again, like the word choices, the worm.

Chelsey: 00:41:52

Okay, cool.

Chelsey: 00:41:53

the detail,

Trey: 00:41:55

I think I'm ready.

Trey: 00:41:55

Honestly.

Trey: 00:41:56

I think I can.

Chelsey: 00:41:56

I'm ready.

Trey: 00:41:57

Ready

Chelsey: 00:41:57

I think I'm ready to do it.

VOICEOVER: 00:42:01

The Queens Are Tabulating.

Trey: 00:42:04

All right, Chels, you ready?

Chelsey: 00:42:07

I am ready.

Chelsey: 00:42:08

I feel like

Chelsey: 00:42:09

yes.

VOICEOVER: 00:42:13

Total Score.

Trey: 00:42:15

Okay.

Trey: 00:42:15

So I'm holding up four crowns and Chelsey's holding up three crowns.

Trey: 00:42:18

So I actually had three crowns first, and then I put it to four because I wanted to say

Trey: 00:42:26

It's sort of like, whatever, but honestly, actually it does make me question.

Trey: 00:42:30

Like, I don't think I'm going to want to.

Trey: 00:42:33

It does leave me with an impression that the, the buffet is not going to

Trey: 00:42:39

so that's why I said four, because I do think it's having more of a lasting impression than

Trey: 00:42:45

Why'd you say three?

Chelsey: 00:42:46

I know I was said three and then I was like measuring it against the first, but

Chelsey: 00:42:51

We've lost quite a few points here, obviously for grammar and just, The way

Chelsey: 00:42:57

Um, also we lost some points for me.

Chelsey: 00:42:59

I know it was an issue for you, but like the assist, the manager, I don't know.

Chelsey: 00:43:02

It felt a little bit like, why are we bringing this up or.

Chelsey: 00:43:06

I just didn't like the way Mark said that.

Chelsey: 00:43:08

Uh, also I felt like he had a lot of things that were specific, like his no beef thing.

Chelsey: 00:43:13

that was a real issue for him.

Chelsey: 00:43:14

Might not be an issue for everybody.

Chelsey: 00:43:16

So

Trey: 00:43:16

Good point!

Chelsey: 00:43:17

Those are the reasons why it took some points off, but I agree.

Chelsey: 00:43:19

I did feel it was impactful in the sense that my stomach got a little bit queasy and

Trey: 00:43:27

Excellent.

Chelsey: 00:43:28

Wow.

Chelsey: 00:43:28

I think we learned a lot today.

Trey: 00:43:30

I think we learned a lot to that.

Trey: 00:43:34

I agree with you.

Trey: 00:43:35

I think I'm malfunctioning.

Trey: 00:43:38

Um, I, I also did learn a lot.

Trey: 00:43:41

Honestly, I'm going to take away from today's episode that like, I am

Trey: 00:43:48

If there is a policy and I want to partake in what they're offering, I'm going to have to honor it.

Chelsey: 00:43:54

Yeah.

Chelsey: 00:43:54

I learned that apparently there are Men Are Working signs that allegedly that's a thing.

Chelsey: 00:44:01

I learned that, I also learned that Mark has a lot of crowns, so maybe like my dad could

Trey: 00:44:11

Yeah!

Chelsey: 00:44:11

That would be useful, you know, my dad does crowns.

Chelsey: 00:44:13

So Mark, if you're listening, hit him up.

Chelsey: 00:44:16

Dr.

Chelsey: 00:44:17

Craig Donn DDS.

Chelsey: 00:44:18

This is not an ad.

Trey: 00:44:19

It also really does make me want to go to Atlantic City.

Chelsey: 00:44:22

True.

Chelsey: 00:44:23

We should go.

Trey: 00:44:24

I want to go,

Chelsey: 00:44:25

We could do Review That Review in Atlantic City

Trey: 00:44:28

at the Borgata,

Chelsey: 00:44:29

at the Borg....

Chelsey: 00:44:30

Where else?

Trey: 00:44:31

We're So classy, we'd be at the Borgata.

Chelsey: 00:44:33

of course, we would.

Chelsey: 00:44:34

All right.

Chelsey: 00:44:35

We did it.

Chelsey: 00:44:36

Trey.

Chelsey: 00:44:37

Do you have any personal reviews this week?

Chelsey: 00:44:39

Who are you going to induct into My Royal Highness?

VOICEOVER: 00:44:43

My Royal Highness.

Trey: 00:44:44

Alright, so I've thought a lot about this and, my induction for My Royal Highness this week.

Trey: 00:44:50

Has got to be my very close friend, Lucinda, you know, to stay upbeat and

Trey: 00:44:59

We went to boarding school together she met her husband at my wedding.

Chelsey: 00:45:02

Wow!

Trey: 00:45:04

I have to bring up.

Chelsey: 00:45:05

Humblebrag.

Trey: 00:45:06

Lucinda, has been dealing with a parent who is aging and who, was diagnosed with

Trey: 00:45:23

And it's for millennials who suddenly are thrust into a care-taking position

Trey: 00:45:31

For creating and hosting support.

Trey: 00:45:35

And, you know, I honestly can't think of anyone who is more deserving of five

Trey: 00:45:47

So Lucinda is absolutely.

Trey: 00:45:50

My Royal Highness.

Chelsey: 00:45:53

Wow.

Trey: 00:45:54

What about, what about you Chels, Chels?
