Happy New Year Review That Review Queens.

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:40

Hey everyone.

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:40

Welcome to Review That Review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:41

We are the podcast dedicated to reviewing

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:46

Reviews!

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:46

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

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:57

[laughing]

Chelsey Donn: 00:00:57

Trey...you alright?

Trey Gerrald: 00:00:59

I'm trying to put these stupid glasses on these, um, happy New Year.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:03

They're like paper.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:05

I bought these New Years glasses thinking they were real, but they're paper.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:10

They are indeed paper.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:11

But you look amazing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:13

I'm wearing New Year's glasses for the Patreon anyway, that voice Chelsey Donn!

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:18

And that voice is Trey Gerrald

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:20

and together our voices form

VOICEOVER: 00:01:22

the review Queens.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:26

And you are an RQtie if I might say so myself, Trey look so dapper you guys.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:31

First of all, he's sporting a very dapper mustache The hair's perfect.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:39

The glasses, even though they're paper are very chic.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:43

And they have a crown on them,

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:44

They have...oh my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:45

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:46

I didn't even notice the crown.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:47

They say happy New Year.

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:49

Trey has a bow tie on and a nice tux moment and a tensil boa?

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:55

This is actually a Hanukkah boa, but it's silver.

Trey Gerrald: 00:01:59

So

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:00

It very much works.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:02

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:03

Love.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:04

Anyway, how is your week goin, Chelsey?

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:07

My weekend's going great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:08

I'll just start by saying that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:10

So Trey was like, we should trust up.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:12

Cause it's New Year, you know, our New Year's episode.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:15

And I was like, oh yeah, I have this like perfect dress.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:17

It's black.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:18

And it has these gold dots on it, but I haven't worn it since pre COVID.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:23

So it was a little worried that it was going to be tight and it's like loose.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:27

So.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:27

Mazeltov!

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:28

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:29

I mean, I feel great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:31

So that's very exciting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:33

My week has been good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:34

I started going, I think I may maybe mentioned that I started going to acupuncture again,

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:43

He told me that I needed to sleep on my left side.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:46

That's very, very important.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:47

Apparently, are you a side sleeper?

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:49

I am a side sleeper.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:50

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:50

Do you know if you sleep on your left or your right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:53

I switch.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:54

I go back and forth.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:55

Apparently it's unhealthy to sleep on the right side.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:56

It's healthy to sleep on the left side and I've been switching and I really,

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:02

I feel better.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:04

I wake up more awake.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:06

I, my acid reflux, I have acid reflux.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:09

Much better.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:10

So I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:11

I'm just going to keep doing it, even though it does disrupt my sleep a little bit.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:14

Cause I'm not used to it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:15

You know, New Year, new side sleeper, left sider.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:19

For me!

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:19

It's probably something with like the heart and whatever, you know, I

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:30

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:31

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:31

But it's like the most comfortable I've ever laid on my back and I can't get comfortable laying on

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:38

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:39

How's your week been otherwise?

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:40

Good.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:41

I've been a little hesitant to share this, but I have recently been investigating

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:49

And so I downloaded an app called couch to three K or couch to 4k.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:56

And I'm just, you know, I'm just in week two or I'm at the beginning of week three, it's

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:04

And I've already lost four pounds.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:06

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:06

Look at us just apparently losing weight or body mass or something.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:10

But I can feel.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:12

Like my knees, you know, it's like gives me the excuse to take a bath every night,

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:25

And of course it's like snowing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:27

So like I picked the worst season to become a runner running, but I'm so into it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:32

I love it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:32

And, um, I'm wondering if maybe.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:35

Talking about weight.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:37

Yeah, that's a good segue into-

VOICEOVER: 00:04:40

Lodge.

VOICEOVER: 00:04:40

A Complaint.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:42

Trey, I just feel like it's a New Year.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:44

We got to bring in that positive energy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:45

So I'm thinking for this episode, let's not Lodge A Complaint though.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:49

We know we both have tons to lodge, but for today in honor of New

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:56

Let's do it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:57

Let's do resolutions instead!

VOICEOVER: 00:05:00

Come on a make a change!

VOICEOVER: 00:05:02

You can change!

VOICEOVER: 00:05:03

You can change!

VOICEOVER: 00:05:05

Change it!

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:07

Yay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:09

Well, if anyone knows where that sound cue was from, uh, you're hilarious.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:13

So my resolution, I, you know, I think that I would like to take on.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:19

My resolve for 2022 is to cook more because it really has been something that

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:29

We've been a little more proactive as the months have been moving towards the end of the year.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:34

You know, we're being more diligent about grocery shopping and it's just something

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:40

And so we do tend to like skirt around it often, but I'm really going to take on.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:44

Making things in the kitchen, trying out recipes, exploring what that means and

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:56

I remember being younger at Thanksgiving dinners and it's like, what are you thankful for?

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:00

Be thankful for your health.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:02

And it's like, yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:03

But then as you get older, you know, I really have a more profound understanding

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:09

And I think that also just cooking is more.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:12

It's just taking care, taking care of financially, taking care of the family, being together,

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:19

I know you love cooking.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:20

So I am declaring for 2022.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:24

I am going to.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:26

Cook more.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:27

That's such a great resolution.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:29

And I know that's a big deal for you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:30

Trey because we've had many conversations about this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:33

So I'm like, are you sure you don't want to maybe cooking, and this is a big step.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:37

So

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:38

yeah, I grew up eating fast food for every.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:42

That was like what my situation was growing up.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:45

That's what I yearned for.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:47

So I'm changing the habit.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:50

Maybe I'll get an air fryer.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:51

I can recommend one.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:52

Oh, good.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:53

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:53

Chelsey, what is your resolution?

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:55

Thank you for asking, Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:57

So I've really been trying to get.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:59

More micro with my resolutions.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:03

Cause I feel like in the past I've always done the typical resolutions

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:09

I'm going to do these things that feel very overwhelming.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:12

And last year, my New Year's resolution, which I think I mentioned was to accept compliments, which

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:22

So this year I thought, what can I, what can I add to my life?

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:26

That doesn't feel too taxing, but that could help me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:29

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:30

And I was thinking, I want to commit to meditate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:36

But just once a week to start, you know, just once a week can be a short guided meditation

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:51

So that's my New Year's resolution is to meditate once a week.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:55

It feels not too daunting, which is what I look for in a New Year's resolution.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:00

I think that's smart.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:01

It's setting yourself up for success.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:02

You know, the whole thing about a habit as however many hours, and you got to start small,

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:12

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:12

I'm not trying to run a marathon.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:14

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:14

I'm trying to like encourage running.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:16

I really like the name of the app.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:18

It just makes you feel good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:19

Like, oh yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:20

I was on the couch.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:21

Yeah, totally.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:22

Now I'm going to ease my way.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:25

We're all about easing our way into 2022.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:28

Let's be honest.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:28

We've been through a lot the past couple of years!

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:31

But I love this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:32

We can, maybe we can periodically check in, see if we need to support

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:39

I would love to be your accountability buddy!

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:41

Listeners too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:42

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:43

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:43

Awesome.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:44

And also call and leave a voicemail.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:46

Let us know your New Year's resolution.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:47

And maybe we can remind you on the show or something to help keep you from.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:51

Actually let's do that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:52

Please call and our voicemail box and leave us a voicemail, telling us what your resolution is.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:58

Maybe it's something we can like focus on for the month of January.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:01

Maybe even throughout the year.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:03

You know, there's nothing more powerful than wanting to be better.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:06

True.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:07

So 1-850- REVIEW-zero.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:09

Call us up.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:10

I was going to say there might be one thing Trey that is more powerful than that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:15

Tell us what.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:17

I think it's online reviews and the people who live them, ya know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:21

Girl!

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:21

You're a Professional, look at that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:24

Wendy Williams.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:25

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:26

I think that we should jump in because as you all know, Chelsey and

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:33

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

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:38

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

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:44

It's a very Regal process that we call

VOICEOVER: 00:09:47

Assess That Kvetch.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:48

And this week, Trey and I are each sharing reviews from the internet

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:55

Cause you guys know, we love a special edition episodes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:58

So this of course is our special edition and New Year's episode.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:02

And your first, today, RQ T

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:05

New Year, New Me!.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:07

Yes, take it away.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:08

RQ

VOICEOVER: 00:10:11

Review That Review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:15

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:16

So today I was really thinking when I think of the New Year, what are things I think of?

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:22

And I.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:23

Do you think of times square, which we've thoroughly covered

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:31

So I was like, I don't want to do times square, but I want like, what do I think of when I

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:38

And I think of like all the funny hats that everyone wears and

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:45

Planet Fitness hats, because Planet Fitness, while having a sponsorship with the television

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:07

So today I have a three star review from Yelp written by Matthew Q.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:17

For Planet Fitness.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:20

Let's hear it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:20

Is that a Planet Fitness?

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:21

The one that like, it's like a dollar a month or something like, it's not a dollar,

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:27

It is interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:28

So Planet Fitness is like a nationwide gym that is traditionally anywhere

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:38

It was one of the first sort of very cheap costs.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:42

Gyms.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:43

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:44

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:44

I'm glad I know that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:45

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:45

So here we go here as Matthew Q's, three star Yelp review for planet fitness.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:52

Can't wait.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:54

LOL, where to start.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:56

When I first came here and went to the changing room for the first time I see is a swing day.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:05

I thought this was a gay gym.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:07

So I want downstairs and demanded a refund.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:13

Cause damn this can't be an everyday thing, but they insisted this wasn't so we LOL at off.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:22

So a month in, I notice I get looked at.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:26

That's like the at symbol.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:28

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:28

A lot by these hungry looking females.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:32

So I'm thinking, damn, I guess the girls in here, like working their arms because I'm always

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:43

See, the name planet fitness is only 50% accurate, but it's not a planet for.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:50

It's a planet filled with some of the most thirstiest dehydrated Fox and a concentrated area.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:59

The sexual frustration was real.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:02

So I made the George Bush decision and almost getting with on of them

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:14

Perverted story short, I came to the conclusion that 70% of the girls in there got toxic pussys

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:25

Sorry.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:26

They probably wash there Cuchies in the east river.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:32

Stop it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:33

If I had stuck my Dick in there, it would have spontaneously combusted.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:41

Also, if you want machines go there at midnight, way better.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:49

Oh, my friggin God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:51

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:51

Matthew is giving that other guy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:53

What was his name?

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:54

The Pillsbury guy?

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:56

Yeah, the OkCupid guy, a real run for his money.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:00

Isn't this crazy?!

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:01

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:02

This is so crazy for so many reasons.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:04

Number one.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:05

I don't understand some of the words in this Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:09

am I just like, I mean, I just looked up thot, cause I was like, I feel like I've heard that one.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:14

So that's a woman who has many casual sexual encounters or relationships.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:17

What is with like the attack on women and also like the.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:21

Dick thing in the, in the dressing room, what what was he referencing?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:26

So it does appear just off the bat.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:28

Matthew did not do a spellcheck,

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:30

obviously.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:31

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:32

So thot...

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:34

it's funny to me that you didn't know thot, but there's no judgment.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:37

Thot..

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:37

Thank you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:38

I've heard it before.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:39

Planet fitness is a no judgment zone.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:41

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:42

That's their slogan.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:43

Thot is an acronym and it stands for that ho over there, which can be any gender,

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:53

Non-binary people can be hose as well.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:57

Well, that's, I mean, that's really my biggest complaint with this Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:01

was like, why are we narrowing in on the women?

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:03

Why are we attacking the women here?

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:05

Like all of a sudden the women, are thots.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:08

I know some thirsty guys at gyms too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:11

Well, it sounds like, it sounds like Matthew was thirsty.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:14

I mean, he carried through with at least one of these women that he is, you know,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:21

well I don't know, because it says, I came to the conclusion

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:28

So is Matthew, a mathematician, like how did they get the average of 70% also, they sort of

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:40

- Chelsey Donn: that's what I was asking.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:41

What, like, what were they saying they saw?

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:44

It says the first thing I see is a swing deck, I think they left out the ING

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:47

Oh like a swinging dick?

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:49

That's what I think.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:49

Like somebody has their d, their dick out in the, in the locker,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:53

in the locker room, which they call a changing room.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:56

And then they immediately went downstairs because they thought this was a gay them.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:59

They can't go to a gay gym.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:00

I feel grossed out.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:02

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:02

And then there's just a lot of misspell every time there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:06

The word I is here, unless it's at the beginning of a sentence, it's lowercase.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:10

Spelling was terrible.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:12

They use the at symbol twice.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:15

Doesn't bother me as much.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:17

Like it is colloquial, but we all know what it means at least.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:23

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:23

That's an interesting point.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:24

Yeah, I don't, yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:25

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:26

It's not scholarly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:28

Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:28

Queenie, but it's not like a demerit,

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:31

You know, also it says, like I made the George Bush decision and almost getting with.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:39

I on, but I think they mean one getting with one of them and still,

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:44

Wait, Almost getting with One?

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:46

and almost getting with one of them until the, the cloths, but it should

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:55

Okay,

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:55

so.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:55

Oh, so, okay, so, so what we're claiming Matthew, which again, doesn't,

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:09

They took their clothes off and then he was like, get outta here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:11

You thot!

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:13

I guess?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:14

I'm also recognizing here that twice Matthew Q speaks in percentage.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:21

Saying that planet fitness is only 50% accurate, accurate.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:25

And then the conclusion that 70% of the girls got toxic pussies spelled P U S S Y S.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:32

Is that how you would spell pussies?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:34

Wouldn't it be?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:35

I E S?

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:37

Oh plural of pus...

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:38

But how do you spell Turkeys?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:40

Because isn't YS, turkeys?

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:43

God, I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:44

I don't usually say turkeys.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:46

Cause kitties, you would say kitties is IES

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:48

Would be IES.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:49

Puppies, IES.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:50

So would pussies?

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:51

It's probably...[laughing]...IES I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:54

This conversation is making me very uncomfortable.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:56

It's very interesting to me that you can say Dick so many

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:03

I mean, I guess those are not, they're vulgar, but they're not cuss words, but like, like to

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:10

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:11

I mean, you obviously heard my multiple gasps.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:14

I even interrupted a little bit, which I apologize for, but I just, I couldn't hold back.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:19

And here's where I'm struggling with, with Matthew Q here, even, even to give them anything.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:25

Do we find any value in Matthew's Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:28

is there anything in here that you're like, okay, good to know.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:33

Well, they say that if you want machines go there at midnight, it's way better.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:37

It's the last statement.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:40

I mean, okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:41

The only point is that it's crowded.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:43

So go at a late time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:45

Also I'm thinking maybe like the locker rooms, aren't very private because you can see.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:51

I just think this is so gross.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:54

I hate when, I mean, I didn't want any, well, you, if this was re reverse gender and there

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:08

So obviously this hits closer to home, but.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:12

Peeved for sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:13

And think it's inappropriate and crazy and Ooh, I'm so grossed out.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:18

I'm going to try to like go through some of the notes that I made.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:21

I mean, LOLed it off?

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:24

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:25

I laughed out loud it off.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:27

So does that mean, does that mean that the people at the front desk were homophobic as well?

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:31

Because they were laughing out loud with them?.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:34

Why are we we're mixing, we're mixing phrases here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:36

Let's just say laughed at all.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:38

Why is it laughed out loud at all?

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:40

Oh, good catch.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:42

Why?

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:42

W you know, we, even if it was like, we LOLed, that's I guess.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:47

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:48

I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:48

There's something about the LOLed it off that I'm like, all right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:52

This Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:53

was written seven years ago and it has not been taken down.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:57

Oh, really?

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:58

Interesting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:59

That is crazy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:00

You think like someone would have read it and reported it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:03

There's tons of replies really on other reviews.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:08

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:08

So they, you know, they saw it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:10

Why wouldn't they report this?

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:13

There it's very easy to report this Review!.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:15

I mean, I almost want to go on and report it myself because there is a

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:22

There, there is a category for inappropriate language.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:25

And why is this three-stars?!

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:28

That was exactly the point I was just about to make, what,

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:37

Which, at first, before I found out the truth about Matthew Q not leaning into the queue for any

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:47

I thought, all right, I'm interested.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:49

I like a three star review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:51

We've talked about this before.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:52

It's sort of middle of the road.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:53

When I read a three star review, I expect to have some positives thrown into the Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:00

little negative sprinkled in there, but you know, a little enough to make it feel

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:07

Something bad happened at this place that I really liked, you know, even if it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:13

The swinging Dick, which I think again, homophobic, but like, still eww

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:24

If you're a so offended by 50%.

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:28

Of planet fitness and you don't even want to look at any of the women that are

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:40

Why are you giving this three stars?

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:43

It sounds like you hate 50% of it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:45

Well, I was thinking maybe it's three stars, because this is the only

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:53

Also, I didn't think the idea of seeing a swinging Dick was homophobic.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:56

I thought the idea of, I thought this was a gay gym.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:59

So I went downstairs and demanded a refund because damn this can't be an everyday thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:04

That was the homophobic.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:05

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:05

I agree.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:06

But that whole section, like where I was like, I thought it was a dildo.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:09

I didn't know what.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:10

They were talking, he was talking about, but I did think that he was alluding to

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:21

It's interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:22

I'm trying to take myself back to seven years ago.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:24

Like we're we culturally in a place where it's like cool to say that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:28

Cause I would have believed that unless you're an extremist religious

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:36

Um, a lot of women are friends with gay people.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:39

So you can't like hate gay people.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:41

Like your women are not going to think that's cool.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:43

Like thankfully gay people have that going for them.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:46

I don't think Matthew has any level of self-awareness

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:51

clearly!

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:52

Who leaves this review?!

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:54

This review Is completely lacking.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:56

Self-awareness I don't even think it's a time thing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:58

I don't want to give any excuses, obviously.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:01

I can never really expect that people are going to see the world the way you and I see the world.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:09

I don't think seven years, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years is an excuse for this kind of bigotry.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:17

And not only for this kind of bigotry, but this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:20

Public declaration of your bigotry as if this is okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:25

It's not okay, Matthew, I'm not pleased.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:29

I hope that in the seven years, since you've written the survey view, there

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:38

But the Mathew that opted to write this, Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:43

not only is extremely inappropriate, extremely hurtful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:49

And just gross an irksome.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:52

You are clogging up the planet fitness yelp!

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:57

In that context, it really is so weird.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:59

Like I wonder if Matthew Q would be ashamed of this today.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:03

It is like, it's such a portrait of, of a person's viewpoint in life that is so unflattering.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:12

Even if you don't like gay people, if it, if you have an issue with that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:15

But I think we all can understand.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:18

You can't speak about women like this, especially if you were wanting to have

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:29

I'm disappointed.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:31

I'm disappointed!

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:33

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:33

We've said this spelling grammar is awful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:36

We don't really find much value.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:37

Maybe the last sentence.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:38

No

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:39

truthful / shady?

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:40

Not funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:41

It's hilariously not funny.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:43

No.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:44

So what do we think?

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:45

I mean, we don't even think that Matthew's being truthful here because they're saying.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:50

They've reached this conclusion after almost getting with someone and then

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:55

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:56

but like, how did you reach that mathematical conclusion?

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:59

Correct.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:59

Don't trust him.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:01

No.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:01

So Like I think I could crown this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:04

I I'm going to struggle to crown it because I, you know, but I will crown Matthew.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:09

I do want to tell before we do one person has found this useful in the seven

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:19

And one person has marked it as cool.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:22

The only, sorry I'm flustered.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:24

The only thing that is a little reassuring about that is that it has been there for so long.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:28

And I guess only that amount of the populus.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:32

You know, is in some agreement with Matthew, which, makes me hope that the majority

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:42

literally.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:43

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:44

Let's crown Matthew.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:45

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

VOICEOVER: 00:25:58

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:00

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:00

Are you ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:01

I'm ready.

VOICEOVER: 00:26:05

Total Score!

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:07

I really thought you might do zero.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:09

I thought we were going to have a Show-First!.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:10

Exactly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:11

I mean, I really want to, we're both holding up a half round.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:14

I really wanted to do zero.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:15

I don't have a zero crowns card.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:18

I, after reading Matthew's Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:20

I think maybe I need to make one.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:22

Quite frankly, I Trey is putting back on his New Year glasses.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:26

I think there's no value here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:28

The only reason why I was even able to muster half of a crown for Matthew

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:35

I guess eye roll, with the coming after midnight to be able to utilize the machines.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:42

I guess you can say there's a tip there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:43

I really, really, really wanted to give Matthew zero crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:49

And if I was his grandmother, I would give him a spanking for.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:53

I mean, not in a good way, not in like a sexual way.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:55

No, a bad one.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:57

A bad spanking.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:59

Anyway, Trey, why did you give Matthew half of a crown?

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:03

I did half of a crown because of that final sentence.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:06

I do think that as a gay person, there is an inherent sexual energy at a gym.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:12

And so if I was a straight man, I was reading mass then like maybe there would

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:22

I don't find Matthew Q to be trustworthy either.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:26

So I just said half a crown, because if I was similar to Matthew and morals and ethics, then

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:37

But it has nothing to do with planet fitness.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:40

That's nothing, there's no value.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:42

Like it's just, the spelling is atrocious.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:45

So for that reason, I did half a crown.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:49

It needs to go if we had like a Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:51

Queens equivalent to like Razzie is for worst Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:56

ever, I think this would be a nominee for me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:59

I think he would be a nominee.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:00

But I do think ultimately I wouldn't want to honor Matthew any more than

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:06

That's true.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:08

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:08

Well, let's take a quick break.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:10

Cause clearly I need a breather and when we come back, we can get into my Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:16

BRB.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:01

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:02

Here's the deal.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:03

Trey and I have each picked a rotten scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:07

And with 30 seconds on the clock, we'll take turns, reciting the

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:13

Just like queen Meryl Streep, who does it all!

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:15

Before the clock runs out.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:17

All right, Chelsey, my dear.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:18

What is your zinger for this New Years bash?

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:21

I'm so glad that you asked.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:24

I don't actually was just thinking about it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:25

I should've looked this up before the show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:27

I'm not sure if Meryl's in this movie, because I think that Meryl is in a few of

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:38

With like 900 actors in it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:40

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:40

You know how they always make all those movies?

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:42

That just seems like, I dunno.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:43

CAA was like trying to get everybody their health insurance or something like that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:48

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:48

I think that this is one of those.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:49

This is a one-star Google review from Noelle F for the movie, New Year's Eve: puke on a stick.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:57

You owe me so much beer.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:00

Puke on a stick.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:06

I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:06

I just thought that was so funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:08

Have you ever seen New Year's Eve?

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:10

No, have you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:11

No.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:12

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:13

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:13

Are you ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:14

Oh, I'm going to confirm nor deny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:18

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:19

I'm going to strap you into, I got to say at the New Year's Eve ball,

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:25

that's what I was going to strap you into, but I'll find something else.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:27

No, we can both be on it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:28

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:29

We'll see who gets there first to the bottom.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:32

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:33

Oh, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:24

A favorite of yours.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:25

That is a new favorite, especially for zingers.

This is a New Year's Eve tinsil party hat.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:38

This One-Star-Zinger subject is, do not waste money on this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:43

And the Review!

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:44

is very ugly sewed.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:48

It did not look like the picture at all.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:50

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:51

What, isn't the correct grammar sewn?.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:53

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:54

Yes it is.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:56

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:57

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:57

And it's interesting because the tensile hat itself is like see-through, but on

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:05

And then the rim is so it's like, it's like clear plastic that's filled with tensile.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:10

So maybe that's why it's sewn.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:11

So ugly regardless who cares?

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:13

Am I on the ball too?

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:16

Yeah, I also was going to have you on the ball, but I was thinking I

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:23

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:23

With the cork, you're like popping.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:26

You're gonna like, you're gonna fly around.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:29

Oh, look at that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:31

And he has a champagne ready.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:32

You're going to fly around the Meryl-Go-Round with the force of a pop cork.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:38

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:39

So no pressure, but get ready to fly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:41

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:42

I'm going to really channel that.

You're so funny.

You're so good at this game.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:23

You got five.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:25

My friend.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:25

That was great.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:26

So close, but no cigar cause you're the winner.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:32

I guess the Ball wins this time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:35

Yup.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:35

Review That Review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:48

Ah, all right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:50

We are back for that rousing game break and it is now your turn Chelsey Donn,

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:55

from this week?

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:57

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:57

So this review is written about the, I guess you call it like a club, like a

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:06

No!

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:07

It's like a club slash restaurant.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:09

I feel like it had a really good reputation maybe.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:13

Are we calling it the early aughts?

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:14

Is that what we say about early two thousands?

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:16

But like, I want to say like early two thousands, it was a very popular place to go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:22

They have a few locations.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:23

One of them being Miami, which I want to say was maybe the first.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:27

So this is a One, dot Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:30

from TripAdvisor writtenby Kathleen T about Nikki Beach.

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:36

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:37

My fiance and I visited Miami Beach for New Year's weekend.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:42

We dined in some of the finest restaurants over a four night vacation.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:47

By far the worst service and poorly prepared food was at this place, which according to the reviews

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:00

The staff was exhausted from New Year's Eve the night before apparently having tossed

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:09

I get that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:09

Glad it was a smash, but they chose to be open on the first and the

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:21

If they were not up to it both physically or mentally, they should've closed for the holiday.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:26

We waited to be seated.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:28

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:29

We had reservations for several weeks, actually for 20 minutes with no one even looking at us.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:36

Yes, we were groomed and dressed very appropriately.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:41

Finally at our seat, we watched two servers about to lose their minds over the mistakes

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:54

The drinks took a bit, but were weak, the food, which by then we decided to just get a couple of

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:08

When the $51 bill showed up, we were just happy to have this very disappointing experience over with.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:16

I wasn't even going to write a bad review because this company has over

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:24

And I'm sure they will not care less over one bad review, but I assure them and all who read

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:39

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:40

Kathleen,

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:41

Kathleen T had a bad experience out of the interest of true transparency.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:46

I think there were two times where the word lose was written and both

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:55

Oh, so an extra Oh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:57

Extra oh.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:58

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:58

So I have a couple of thoughts here because.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:03

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:04

Timeframe.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:05

Is Kathleen saying they waited 20 minutes to be seated and then they waited

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:15

Yes!

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:16

Did you find that suspicious?

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:18

No, I'm just thinking, like, I think that waiting 20 minutes for your

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:25

I mean, waiting always makes people upset, but waiting 20 minutes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:31

So order alcohol, I think is crazy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:34

I agreed, especially after having just waited 20 minutes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:38

Cause now you figure we're 40 minutes past the reservation and we haven't

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:44

I also love that Kathleen multiple times twice for sure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:49

Says.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:50

Yes, we did reservations.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:53

Yes, we were.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:54

Well-groomed it's like, don't try to question me, Review Queens.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:59

I actually really, really liked that because as I was reading

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:05

And then it was like, yeah, we did like, you know, I didn't think about the dress thing, but

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:09

it was funny to me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:10

Like, it's assuming that you're going to be negated.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:16

Which is like an interesting point of view of the world.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:18

I think that it it's a little bit is a little bit to do with like the

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:25

I mean, this review was written in 16, so that was, you know, five years ago.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:30

So I think it was still pretty popular at that point.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:33

And I think it's like the person that wants to go to Nikki Beach, might

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:39

Like, well, maybe you weren't the right clientele.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:42

Maybe you didn't make a reservation.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:43

You know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:44

So I think that Kathleen T is writing this Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:48

to that individual

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:50

That comes across too in the way Kathleen says, like this

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:55

And like, obviously, like they probably won't care about my one grievance.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:59

So it's also funny to me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:01

That Kathleen mentions like the glossy advertisements.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:05

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:07

What does that mean?

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:08

Like it it's glossy and like how fun it looks or like glossy and like magazines or

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:15

I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:16

I sort of wondered about that too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:17

Like, are we using glossy and this sentence literally like a glossy, like you said, like flier

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:28

Glowing, almost like glowing reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:33

I wasn't sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:33

Or glowing advertisements.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:35

You know what I mean?

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:36

Oh, interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:37

There's no way to deduce.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:38

For me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:38

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:39

guess if I was going to define glossy, I would think somewhere

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:44

It just makes me think of.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:45

Lip gloss.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:47

And then I also love that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:49

They're like, okay, we need to cut our losses.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:50

This has just been so horrible.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:52

So horrible.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:53

Let's just get appetizers,

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:54

Let's just get appetizers and get outta here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:56

But then I did think is Nikki Beach also like a club that serves dinner?.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:03

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:03

I mean, it's like a, it's like a club restaurant,

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:06

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:07

Because I would think that the fastest appetizers are going to be similar to a gas station.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:12

Cause it's probably going to be popcorn chicken or calamari or like onion rings, basket.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:17

Like it's all that stuff that like is quick,

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:19

right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:20

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:20

What did you think about that as like a dig?

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:23

I think that it's a smart tactic for Kathleen to take.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:26

If, if Kathleen anticipate it's not being taken seriously by the organization to allude that

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:38

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:38

It's definitely a dig!

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:39

But that's even more disappointing, but then I'm also

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:43

You have got, at least I'm assuming it's two people, maybe more, they've gotten

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:54

I'm like, that's pretty cheap!

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:56

I know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:56

I was just not to say the same thing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:58

Like at my bougie for thinking like, wait, you definitely, at least got one round of

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:07

So it had to have been more than one and you'll only be at $51.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:11

That.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:12

Yeah, that seems, that seems very low, especially considering I've never been

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:25

I would think $18 for like a signature cocktail.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:28

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:29

So with tax and everything, like, you know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:31

SO, okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:32

So much of this experience, Kathleen, at least places the blame on the

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:40

And they've made the assumption that everyone's just tired, right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:43

I'm questioning the value here because maybe this is very valuable for that

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:50

Like don't go after New Year's or like, that just expect everyone to be

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:56

They're going to have a huge party the night before.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:59

Servers and such, we'll probably be young and hot.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:03

And even if they weren't working on New Year's Eve, but they're

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:10

So either way, we're not doing the creme de LA creme of service.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:13

I agree.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:14

That's the worst time to work.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:15

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:16

I do think it's a choice to be open on New Year's day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:20

I can understand the impetus to make a reservation at Nikki Beach on New Year's day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:25

Just because if it's open, maybe you're thinking let's keep the party going.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:30

You know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:30

So I don't, I don't fall Kathleen T for making this reservation.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:35

I think they obviously let us know that they were disappointed in the

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:41

There's nothing about the Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:43

necessarily.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:44

And Ty Nikki Beach, except for the gas station deg, which obviously would

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:54

But even this year, 2021 and 2022 New Year's Eve is Friday.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:00

And New Year's day is Saturday.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:02

Of course, this place is going to be open.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:04

What does that dig about?

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:05

Like if you made the choice to be open, you made that choice.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:09

Like it's a Saturday night.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:10

Like, of course it's I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:12

I mean, I guess the only response I'd have to that is

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:18

I mean, I like every year I feel like I have amnesia and I forget how things

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:28

I don't know, maybe cause like on Christmas day, a lot of restaurants are closed.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:32

I'm not sure, but I do imagine because we do take

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:39

You're going to have, and if you're in Miami, you're in tourist town!

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:43

You're not closing on New Year's day.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:44

You think you would be catering to hung over people on New Year's

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:49

I don't know.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:50

Do you think that Kathleen is being truthful?

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:53

I do.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:54

I do too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:54

I think Kathleen has made a huge assumption that everyone's hung up.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:58

But like, I think you can tell when someone's hung over.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:01

So if we're making that assessment, I think it's probably at least half warranted.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:05

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:05

Well, I was going to say, I would like Kathleen to have explicitly stated it was very clear that

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:15

Wasn't completely hung over, like, you know, whatever.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:19

That's just my thought, but I mean then, then the commonality, I don't know, maybe, maybe, but.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:26

Yeah, it is hard.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:27

It does feel very specific to this time of year, which has value to me because we've like

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:36

reader that will go and type in the specific thing that I'm looking for.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:41

So if I was going to go to Nikki Beach in Miami for New Year's, I would go to TripAdvisor

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:52

Cause, Patreon.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:53

I got S I got a story for you guys later about, uh, Miami new years.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:57

I actually, two Miami new years experiences that I had that were equally insane.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:03

So I would want to know if I was going to do Miami a third time.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:08

Is this the place to do it because I've been burned before?

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:11

So I think I would take it into consideration at very least.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:14

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:15

I mean, I think I can talk about the impact of my crowning.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:18

Do you think there's anything else?

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:21

Spelling and grammar mostly good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:23

Except for those two changes that I made: loose, lose.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:27

I'm confused.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:28

How many pairs of New Year's glasses do you have, Trey?

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:32

I was telling Patreon, this was like a photo booth package that I thought would

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:42

So we've got two more to go through, You and I, Chels.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:45

That's hilarious.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:46

Cause you guys, I didn't even notice until like, this is the fourth pair that you're

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:51

Yeah I've worn three other ones.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:53

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:54

So let's uh, let's crown it.

VOICEOVER: 00:46:57

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:59

You ready?

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:00

Yes!

VOICEOVER: 00:47:05

Total Score!

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:06

Oh dear.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:07

I said one and a half.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:09

I'll interesting trays holding up one and a half.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:11

I'm holding up three crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:13

Trey, tell us why are you holding up one and a half crowns?

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:16

I just said one and a half crowns because it's so

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:23

And I, I am feeling conflicted because we're going off of the fact that the whole establishment was

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:38

So then they came over with the drinks and then took a long time and then they

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:44

I don't have enough evidence that that's true.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:46

That's what Kathleen has presented.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:48

So therefore going along with that, it's not funny, you know, maybe two little

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:56

I think maybe Kathleen is truthful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:58

Like I think whatever.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:59

I also thought that like, there's not that much value here to me other than it's not

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:09

So I said one and a half because ultimately the people that work there might be

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:17

So like, if that's maybe valuable to me, but other than that, I don't think there's much value here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:22

So that's why I said one and a half.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:24

Why did you say three?

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:26

I said three, because I did find value here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:29

I, like I said, I'm the type of reviewer that's going to search the word.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:32

Beyond that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:33

Like things that I like knowing and reviews before I go to restaurants, especially like,

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:40

Like, is this the type of place where I'm going to have to wait?

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:44

Even though I have a reservation, I don't know if that's only the case because it's near as day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:49

I kind of feel like it's not.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:51

Cause I think a place like Nikki Beach.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:54

Like we said kind of a tourist shop, so it's going to be crowded most of the time.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:59

So I thought that was good information to know like, alright, prepare myself.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:03

I might be waiting 20 minutes to get in.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:05

I might be, you know, waiting a while to be served.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:09

I better make sure I don't show up like hangry.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:13

And like I needed a drink yesterday if I'm going to go to Nikki Beach.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:17

So I did find.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:18

Valuable and spelling was mostly good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:22

I believe that Kathleen T's experience was authentic to what they really experienced.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:27

So for that reason, I awarded Kathleen T three, three crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:33

I did it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:34

Love it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:35

Good job.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:35

Very fun.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:36

Now I want to go to Miami.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:38

I can't wait to hear your story and the after-show podcasts, but in the meantime,

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:47

I am so curious.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:48

I would love for you to tell me, who are you inducting this week for

VOICEOVER: 00:49:54

My Royal Highness

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:56

I had this planned and I'm going to still do it, even though one of

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:02

I'm going to make for My Royal Highness, this New Year's people who write online reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:09

Right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:11

We got to give it up for the people that write online reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:13

We wouldn't have a show if people

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:15

- Trey Gerrald: This is so META!

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:16

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:17

But if people were not brave enough to at least step forward and give us their

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:23

You're doing it for free.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:25

Obviously we've, we've had a few Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:27

Queens on the show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:29

We've given many people high ratings in terms of their reviews, which means that constantly

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:40

And I just think.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:42

It's overdue.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:43

Try.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:43

We have to induct the online Review!

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:47

writers as our Royal Highness.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:50

Don't you think

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:53

it's so smart and such a great induction.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:56

There is power in sharing truth.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:00

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:00

And there's fun.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:02

And, and reading shared shadiness.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:05

I mean, it's all the things about the show that we love.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:07

Exactly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:08

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:09

Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:09

Who are you inducting on this New Year's Eve as your Royal Highness?

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:14

Well, today I was thinking, what do I love about New Year's New Year's bashes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:20

And I am going to induct confetti.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:25

I love confetti and glitter.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:27

I just think that it's so fun.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:29

I love it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:30

Any activity where people are in high spirits, where they will kiss and show affection and love.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:36

And the possibility I feel like new years is so ripe with I'm going to like achieve it all.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:43

And that's a beautiful energy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:44

And I think that that is encapsulated in confetti glitter.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:47

It's just like we are unabashedly throwing and celebrating and smiling and looking

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:55

And open-hearted all of those things.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:57

That's how glitter is to me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:58

Confetti.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:59

And so for that reason, I am inducting confetti for My Royal Highness.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:06

I love that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:07

I love that moment on like reality shows, whatever it is when the person wins.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:11

And then they like set off that confetti bomb and all of a sudden the person is like,

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:17

And there's all that confetti falling.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:19

It's like a very satisfying thing to watch.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:21

Wait.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:22

Did I Lodge a complaints about confetti at Broadway shows?

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:25

I don't think so.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:26

Was that a dress rehearsal?

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:28

I don't remember you doing that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:30

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:30

I'm going to circle back to that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:32

Cause I do have a complaint about confetti in musicals, but

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:35

I also have a complaint about glitter, but I think we're going to allow-

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:40

...because you have to clean it up?

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:42

Well, they say it's the herpes of arts and crafts,

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:44

right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:45

It never right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:45

You can't biodegrade, but now people make biodegradable glitter.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:48

Oh no, I wasn't thinking for the biodegradable reason, I was thinking,

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:55

it's there forever.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:55

I mean, I'm still finding stars from our photo shoot, which was June.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:01

But great induction confetti deserves it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:03

I mean, I there's something that happens adrenaline wise, right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:08

When that confetti bomb goes off, it's like, if you're not excited, if you're an

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:16

And after something really exciting happens, I think biologically something's not right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:22

It's like the same feeling of a rollercoaster.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:24

It's just like, Wooo!

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:25

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:25

It's like a natural like adrenaline, like, oh my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:28

You know, it's like being in a perfect snow storm.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:31

That's controlled

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:32

and not cold.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:33

Exactly.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:34
