Chelsey Donn:And I was like, oh yeah, I have this like perfect dress.
Chelsey Donn:It's black.
Chelsey Donn:And it has these gold dots on it, but I haven't worn it since pre COVID.

Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I feel great.
Chelsey Donn:So that's very exciting.
Chelsey Donn:My week has been good.
Chelsey Donn:I started going, I think I may maybe mentioned that I started going to acupuncture again,
Chelsey Donn:He told me that I needed to sleep on my left side.
Chelsey Donn:That's very, very important.
Chelsey Donn:Apparently, are you a side sleeper?
Trey Gerrald:I am a side sleeper.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Do you know if you sleep on your left or your right?
Trey Gerrald:I switch.
Trey Gerrald:I go back and forth.
Chelsey Donn:Apparently it's unhealthy to sleep on the right side.
Chelsey Donn:It's healthy to sleep on the left side and I've been switching and I really,
Chelsey Donn:I feel better.
Chelsey Donn:I wake up more awake.
Chelsey Donn:I, my acid reflux, I have acid reflux.
Chelsey Donn:Much better.
Chelsey Donn:So I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I'm just going to keep doing it, even though it does disrupt my sleep a little bit.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I'm not used to it.
Chelsey Donn:You know, New Year, new side sleeper, left sider.
Chelsey Donn:For me!
Trey Gerrald:It's probably something with like the heart and whatever, you know, I
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:But it's like the most comfortable I've ever laid on my back and I can't get comfortable laying on
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:How's your week been otherwise?
Trey Gerrald:Good.
Trey Gerrald:I've been a little hesitant to share this, but I have recently been investigating
Trey Gerrald:And so I downloaded an app called couch to three K or couch to 4k.
Trey Gerrald: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:And I've already lost four pounds.
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:Look at us just apparently losing weight or body mass or something.
Trey Gerrald:But I can feel.
Trey Gerrald:Like my knees, you know, it's like gives me the excuse to take a bath every night,
Trey Gerrald:And of course it's like snowing.
Trey Gerrald:So like I picked the worst season to become a runner running, but I'm so into it.
Trey Gerrald:I love it.
Trey Gerrald:And, um, I'm wondering if maybe.
Trey Gerrald:Talking about weight.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, that's a good segue into-
VOICEOVER:Lodge.
VOICEOVER:A Complaint.
Chelsey Donn:Trey, I just feel like it's a New Year.
Chelsey Donn:We got to bring in that positive energy.
Chelsey Donn:So I'm thinking for this episode, let's not Lodge A Complaint though.
Chelsey Donn:We know we both have tons to lodge, but for today in honor of New
Chelsey Donn:Let's do it.
Chelsey Donn:Let's do resolutions instead!
VOICEOVER:Come on a make a change!
VOICEOVER:You can change!
VOICEOVER:You can change!
VOICEOVER:Change it!
Trey Gerrald:Yay.
Trey Gerrald:Well, if anyone knows where that sound cue was from, uh, you're hilarious.
Trey Gerrald:So my resolution, I, you know, I think that I would like to take on.
Trey Gerrald:My resolve for 2022 is to cook more because it really has been something that
Trey Gerrald:We've been a little more proactive as the months have been moving towards the end of the year.
Trey Gerrald:You know, we're being more diligent about grocery shopping and it's just something
Trey Gerrald:And so we do tend to like skirt around it often, but I'm really going to take on.
Trey Gerrald:Making things in the kitchen, trying out recipes, exploring what that means and
Trey Gerrald:I remember being younger at Thanksgiving dinners and it's like, what are you thankful for?
Trey Gerrald:Be thankful for your health.
Trey Gerrald:And it's like, yeah.
Trey Gerrald:But then as you get older, you know, I really have a more profound understanding
Trey Gerrald:And I think that also just cooking is more.
Trey Gerrald:It's just taking care, taking care of financially, taking care of the family, being together,
Trey Gerrald:I know you love cooking.
Trey Gerrald:So I am declaring for 2022.
Trey Gerrald:I am going to.
Trey Gerrald:Cook more.
Chelsey Donn:That's such a great resolution.
Chelsey Donn:And I know that's a big deal for you.
Chelsey Donn:Trey because we've had many conversations about this.
Chelsey Donn:So I'm like, are you sure you don't want to maybe cooking, and this is a big step.
Chelsey Donn:So
Trey Gerrald:yeah, I grew up eating fast food for every.
Trey Gerrald:That was like what my situation was growing up.
Trey Gerrald:That's what I yearned for.
Trey Gerrald:So I'm changing the habit.
Trey Gerrald:Maybe I'll get an air fryer.
Chelsey Donn:I can recommend one.
Trey Gerrald:Oh, good.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Chelsey, what is your resolution?
Chelsey Donn:Thank you for asking, Trey.
Chelsey Donn:So I've really been trying to get.
Chelsey Donn:More micro with my resolutions.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I feel like in the past I've always done the typical resolutions
Chelsey Donn:I'm going to do these things that feel very overwhelming.
Chelsey Donn:And last year, my New Year's resolution, which I think I mentioned was to accept compliments, which
Chelsey Donn:So this year I thought, what can I, what can I add to my life?
Chelsey Donn:That doesn't feel too taxing, but that could help me.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:And I was thinking, I want to commit to meditate.
Chelsey Donn:But just once a week to start, you know, just once a week can be a short guided meditation
Chelsey Donn:So that's my New Year's resolution is to meditate once a week.
Chelsey Donn:It feels not too daunting, which is what I look for in a New Year's resolution.
Trey Gerrald:I think that's smart.
Trey Gerrald:It's setting yourself up for success.
Trey Gerrald:You know, the whole thing about a habit as however many hours, and you got to start small,
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I'm not trying to run a marathon.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I'm trying to like encourage running.
Chelsey Donn:I really like the name of the app.
Chelsey Donn:It just makes you feel good.
Chelsey Donn:Like, oh yes.
Chelsey Donn:I was on the couch.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, totally.
Chelsey Donn:Now I'm going to ease my way.
Chelsey Donn:We're all about easing our way into 2022.
Chelsey Donn:Let's be honest.
Chelsey Donn:We've been through a lot the past couple of years!
Trey Gerrald:But I love this.
Trey Gerrald:We can, maybe we can periodically check in, see if we need to support
Chelsey Donn:I would love to be your accountability buddy!

Trey Gerrald:Actually let's do that.

Trey Gerrald:Maybe it's something we can like focus on for the month of January.
Trey Gerrald:Maybe even throughout the year.

Chelsey Donn:True.
Chelsey Donn:So 1-850- REVIEW-zero.
Chelsey Donn:Call us up.
Chelsey Donn:I was going to say there might be one thing Trey that is more powerful than that.

Trey Gerrald:Girl!
Trey Gerrald:You're a Professional, look at that.
Trey Gerrald:Wendy Williams.

Trey Gerrald:I think that we should jump in because as you all know, Chelsey and
Trey Gerrald:We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected.
Chelsey Donn:We read the review, we break it down and rate the impact of the
Chelsey Donn:It's a very Regal process that we call
VOICEOVER:Assess That Kvetch.
Chelsey Donn:And this week, Trey and I are each sharing reviews from the internet

Trey Gerrald:New Year, New Me!.
Chelsey Donn:Yes, take it away.
Chelsey Donn:RQ
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So today I was really thinking when I think of the New Year, what are things I think of?
Trey Gerrald:And I.
Trey Gerrald:Do you think of times square, which we've thoroughly covered
Trey Gerrald: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:And I think of like all the funny hats that everyone wears and
Trey Gerrald:Planet Fitness hats, because Planet Fitness, while having a sponsorship with the television
Trey Gerrald:So today I have a three star review from Yelp written by Matthew Q.
Trey Gerrald:For Planet Fitness.
Chelsey Donn:Let's hear it.
Chelsey Donn:Is that a Planet Fitness?
Chelsey Donn:The one that like, it's like a dollar a month or something like, it's not a dollar,
Trey Gerrald:It is interesting.
Trey Gerrald:So Planet Fitness is like a nationwide gym that is traditionally anywhere
Trey Gerrald:It was one of the first sort of very cheap costs.
Trey Gerrald:Gyms.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:I'm glad I know that.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:So here we go here as Matthew Q's, three star Yelp review for planet fitness.
Chelsey Donn:Can't wait.
Trey Gerrald:LOL, where to start.
Trey Gerrald:When I first came here and went to the changing room for the first time I see is a swing day.
Trey Gerrald:I thought this was a gay gym.
Trey Gerrald:So I want downstairs and demanded a refund.
Trey Gerrald:Cause damn this can't be an everyday thing, but they insisted this wasn't so we LOL at off.
Trey Gerrald:So a month in, I notice I get looked at.
Trey Gerrald:That's like the at symbol.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:A lot by these hungry looking females.
Trey Gerrald:So I'm thinking, damn, I guess the girls in here, like working their arms because I'm always
Trey Gerrald:See, the name planet fitness is only 50% accurate, but it's not a planet for.
Trey Gerrald:It's a planet filled with some of the most thirstiest dehydrated Fox and a concentrated area.
Trey Gerrald:The sexual frustration was real.
Trey Gerrald:So I made the George Bush decision and almost getting with on of them
Trey Gerrald:Perverted story short, I came to the conclusion that 70% of the girls in there got toxic pussys
Chelsey Donn:Sorry.
Trey Gerrald:They probably wash there Cuchies in the east river.
Chelsey Donn:Stop it.
Trey Gerrald:If I had stuck my Dick in there, it would have spontaneously combusted.
Trey Gerrald:Also, if you want machines go there at midnight, way better.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, my friggin God.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Matthew is giving that other guy.
Chelsey Donn:What was his name?
Trey Gerrald:The Pillsbury guy?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, the OkCupid guy, a real run for his money.
Trey Gerrald:Isn't this crazy?!
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:This is so crazy for so many reasons.
Chelsey Donn:Number one.
Chelsey Donn:I don't understand some of the words in this Review!
Chelsey Donn: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:So that's a woman who has many casual sexual encounters or relationships.
Chelsey Donn:What is with like the attack on women and also like the.
Chelsey Donn:Dick thing in the, in the dressing room, what what was he referencing?
Trey Gerrald:So it does appear just off the bat.
Trey Gerrald:Matthew did not do a spellcheck,
Chelsey Donn:obviously.
Trey Gerrald:Right?
Trey Gerrald:So thot...
Trey Gerrald:it's funny to me that you didn't know thot, but there's no judgment.
Trey Gerrald:Thot..
Chelsey Donn:Thank you.
Chelsey Donn:I've heard it before.
Trey Gerrald:Planet fitness is a no judgment zone.
Chelsey Donn:Right?
Trey Gerrald:That's their slogan.
Trey Gerrald:Thot is an acronym and it stands for that ho over there, which can be any gender,
Trey Gerrald:Non-binary people can be hose as well.
Chelsey Donn:Well, that's, I mean, that's really my biggest complaint with this Review!
Chelsey Donn:was like, why are we narrowing in on the women?
Chelsey Donn:Why are we attacking the women here?
Chelsey Donn:Like all of a sudden the women, are thots.
Chelsey Donn:I know some thirsty guys at gyms too.
Trey Gerrald:Well, it sounds like, it sounds like Matthew was thirsty.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, he carried through with at least one of these women that he is, you know,
Trey Gerrald:well I don't know, because it says, I came to the conclusion
Trey Gerrald:So is Matthew, a mathematician, like how did they get the average of 70% also, they sort of
Trey Gerrald:- Chelsey Donn: that's what I was asking.
Trey Gerrald:What, like, what were they saying they saw?
Trey Gerrald:It says the first thing I see is a swing deck, I think they left out the ING
Chelsey Donn:Oh like a swinging dick?
Trey Gerrald:That's what I think.
Chelsey Donn:Like somebody has their d, their dick out in the, in the locker,
Trey Gerrald:in the locker room, which they call a changing room.
Trey Gerrald:And then they immediately went downstairs because they thought this was a gay them.
Trey Gerrald:They can't go to a gay gym.
Chelsey Donn:I feel grossed out.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:And then there's just a lot of misspell every time there.
Trey Gerrald:The word I is here, unless it's at the beginning of a sentence, it's lowercase.
Chelsey Donn:Spelling was terrible.
Trey Gerrald:They use the at symbol twice.
Chelsey Donn:Doesn't bother me as much.
Chelsey Donn:Like it is colloquial, but we all know what it means at least.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:That's an interesting point.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, I don't, yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:It's not scholarly.
Chelsey Donn:Review!
Chelsey Donn:Queenie, but it's not like a demerit,
Trey Gerrald:You know, also it says, like I made the George Bush decision and almost getting with.
Trey Gerrald:I on, but I think they mean one getting with one of them and still,
Chelsey Donn:Wait, Almost getting with One?
Trey Gerrald:and almost getting with one of them until the, the cloths, but it should
Chelsey Donn:Okay,
Trey Gerrald:so.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, so, okay, so, so what we're claiming Matthew, which again, doesn't,
Chelsey Donn:They took their clothes off and then he was like, get outta here.
Chelsey Donn:You thot!
Trey Gerrald:I guess?
Trey Gerrald:I'm also recognizing here that twice Matthew Q speaks in percentage.
Trey Gerrald:Saying that planet fitness is only 50% accurate, accurate.
Trey Gerrald:And then the conclusion that 70% of the girls got toxic pussies spelled P U S S Y S.
Trey Gerrald:Is that how you would spell pussies?
Trey Gerrald:Wouldn't it be?
Trey Gerrald:I E S?
Chelsey Donn:Oh plural of pus...
Trey Gerrald:But how do you spell Turkeys?
Trey Gerrald:Because isn't YS, turkeys?
Chelsey Donn:God, I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I don't usually say turkeys.
Trey Gerrald:Cause kitties, you would say kitties is IES
Chelsey Donn:Would be IES.
Trey Gerrald:Puppies, IES.
Trey Gerrald:So would pussies?
Chelsey Donn:It's probably...[laughing]...IES I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:This conversation is making me very uncomfortable.
Trey Gerrald:It's very interesting to me that you can say Dick so many
Trey Gerrald:I mean, I guess those are not, they're vulgar, but they're not cuss words, but like, like to
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, you obviously heard my multiple gasps.
Chelsey Donn:I even interrupted a little bit, which I apologize for, but I just, I couldn't hold back.
Chelsey Donn:And here's where I'm struggling with, with Matthew Q here, even, even to give them anything.
Chelsey Donn:Do we find any value in Matthew's Review!
Chelsey Donn:is there anything in here that you're like, okay, good to know.
Trey Gerrald:Well, they say that if you want machines go there at midnight, it's way better.
Trey Gerrald:It's the last statement.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, okay.
Trey Gerrald:The only point is that it's crowded.
Trey Gerrald:So go at a late time.
Trey Gerrald:Also I'm thinking maybe like the locker rooms, aren't very private because you can see.
Chelsey Donn:I just think this is so gross.
Chelsey Donn:I hate when, I mean, I didn't want any, well, you, if this was re reverse gender and there
Chelsey Donn:So obviously this hits closer to home, but.
Chelsey Donn:Peeved for sure.
Chelsey Donn:And think it's inappropriate and crazy and Ooh, I'm so grossed out.
Chelsey Donn:I'm going to try to like go through some of the notes that I made.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, LOLed it off?
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I laughed out loud it off.
Trey Gerrald:So does that mean, does that mean that the people at the front desk were homophobic as well?
Trey Gerrald:Because they were laughing out loud with them?.
Chelsey Donn:Why are we we're mixing, we're mixing phrases here.
Chelsey Donn:Let's just say laughed at all.
Chelsey Donn:Why is it laughed out loud at all?
Trey Gerrald:Oh, good catch.
Chelsey Donn:Why?
Chelsey Donn:W you know, we, even if it was like, we LOLed, that's I guess.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:There's something about the LOLed it off that I'm like, all right.
Trey Gerrald:This Review!
Trey Gerrald:was written seven years ago and it has not been taken down.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, really?
Chelsey Donn:Interesting.
Chelsey Donn:That is crazy.
Chelsey Donn:You think like someone would have read it and reported it.
Trey Gerrald:There's tons of replies really on other reviews.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:So they, you know, they saw it.
Chelsey Donn:Why wouldn't they report this?
Chelsey Donn:There it's very easy to report this Review!.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I almost want to go on and report it myself because there is a
Chelsey Donn:There, there is a category for inappropriate language.
Trey Gerrald:And why is this three-stars?!
Chelsey Donn:That was exactly the point I was just about to make, what,
Chelsey Donn:Which, at first, before I found out the truth about Matthew Q not leaning into the queue for any
Chelsey Donn:I thought, all right, I'm interested.
Chelsey Donn:I like a three star review.
Chelsey Donn:We've talked about this before.
Chelsey Donn:It's sort of middle of the road.
Chelsey Donn:When I read a three star review, I expect to have some positives thrown into the Review!
Chelsey Donn:little negative sprinkled in there, but you know, a little enough to make it feel
Chelsey Donn:Something bad happened at this place that I really liked, you know, even if it.
Chelsey Donn:The swinging Dick, which I think again, homophobic, but like, still eww
Chelsey Donn:If you're a so offended by 50%.
Chelsey Donn:Of planet fitness and you don't even want to look at any of the women that are
Chelsey Donn:Why are you giving this three stars?
Chelsey Donn:It sounds like you hate 50% of it.
Trey Gerrald:Well, I was thinking maybe it's three stars, because this is the only
Trey Gerrald:Also, I didn't think the idea of seeing a swinging Dick was homophobic.
Trey Gerrald:I thought the idea of, I thought this was a gay gym.
Trey Gerrald:So I went downstairs and demanded a refund because damn this can't be an everyday thing.
Trey Gerrald:That was the homophobic.
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Chelsey Donn:I agree.
Chelsey Donn:But that whole section, like where I was like, I thought it was a dildo.
Chelsey Donn:I didn't know what.
Chelsey Donn:They were talking, he was talking about, but I did think that he was alluding to
Trey Gerrald:It's interesting.
Trey Gerrald:I'm trying to take myself back to seven years ago.
Trey Gerrald:Like we're we culturally in a place where it's like cool to say that.
Trey Gerrald:Cause I would have believed that unless you're an extremist religious
Trey Gerrald:Um, a lot of women are friends with gay people.
Trey Gerrald:So you can't like hate gay people.
Trey Gerrald:Like your women are not going to think that's cool.
Trey Gerrald:Like thankfully gay people have that going for them.
Chelsey Donn:I don't think Matthew has any level of self-awareness
Trey Gerrald:clearly!
Trey Gerrald:Who leaves this review?!
Chelsey Donn:This review Is completely lacking.
Chelsey Donn:Self-awareness I don't even think it's a time thing.
Chelsey Donn:I don't want to give any excuses, obviously.
Chelsey Donn:I can never really expect that people are going to see the world the way you and I see the world.
Chelsey Donn:I don't think seven years, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years is an excuse for this kind of bigotry.
Chelsey Donn:And not only for this kind of bigotry, but this.
Chelsey Donn:Public declaration of your bigotry as if this is okay.
Chelsey Donn:It's not okay, Matthew, I'm not pleased.
Chelsey Donn:I hope that in the seven years, since you've written the survey view, there
Chelsey Donn:But the Mathew that opted to write this, Review!
Chelsey Donn:not only is extremely inappropriate, extremely hurtful.
Chelsey Donn:And just gross an irksome.
Chelsey Donn:You are clogging up the planet fitness yelp!
Trey Gerrald:In that context, it really is so weird.
Trey Gerrald:Like I wonder if Matthew Q would be ashamed of this today.
Trey Gerrald:It is like, it's such a portrait of, of a person's viewpoint in life that is so unflattering.
Trey Gerrald:Even if you don't like gay people, if it, if you have an issue with that.
Trey Gerrald:But I think we all can understand.
Trey Gerrald:You can't speak about women like this, especially if you were wanting to have
Chelsey Donn:I'm disappointed.
Chelsey Donn:I'm disappointed!
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:We've said this spelling grammar is awful.
Trey Gerrald:We don't really find much value.
Trey Gerrald:Maybe the last sentence.
Chelsey Donn:No
Trey Gerrald:truthful / shady?
Chelsey Donn:Not funny.
Trey Gerrald:It's hilariously not funny.
Chelsey Donn:No.
Trey Gerrald:So what do we think?
Trey Gerrald:I mean, we don't even think that Matthew's being truthful here because they're saying.
Trey Gerrald:They've reached this conclusion after almost getting with someone and then
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Trey Gerrald:but like, how did you reach that mathematical conclusion?
Chelsey Donn:Correct.
Chelsey Donn:Don't trust him.
Chelsey Donn:No.
Trey Gerrald:So Like I think I could crown this.
Chelsey Donn:I I'm going to struggle to crown it because I, you know, but I will crown Matthew.
Trey Gerrald:I do want to tell before we do one person has found this useful in the seven
Trey Gerrald:And one person has marked it as cool.
Chelsey Donn:The only, sorry I'm flustered.
Chelsey Donn:The only thing that is a little reassuring about that is that it has been there for so long.
Chelsey Donn:And I guess only that amount of the populus.
Chelsey Donn:You know, is in some agreement with Matthew, which, makes me hope that the majority
Trey Gerrald:literally.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:Let's crown Matthew.
Trey Gerrald:So Chelsey and I each have our own set of one to five crown cards and in an effort to
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Are you ready?
Chelsey Donn:I'm ready.
VOICEOVER:Total Score!
Trey Gerrald:I really thought you might do zero.
Trey Gerrald:I thought we were going to have a Show-First!.
Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I really want to, we're both holding up a half round.
Chelsey Donn:I really wanted to do zero.
Chelsey Donn:I don't have a zero crowns card.
Chelsey Donn:I, after reading Matthew's Review!
Chelsey Donn:I think maybe I need to make one.
Chelsey Donn:Quite frankly, I Trey is putting back on his New Year glasses.
Chelsey Donn:I think there's no value here.
Chelsey Donn:The only reason why I was even able to muster half of a crown for Matthew
Chelsey Donn:I guess eye roll, with the coming after midnight to be able to utilize the machines.
Chelsey Donn:I guess you can say there's a tip there.
Chelsey Donn:I really, really, really wanted to give Matthew zero crowns.
Chelsey Donn:And if I was his grandmother, I would give him a spanking for.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, not in a good way, not in like a sexual way.
Trey Gerrald:No, a bad one.
Chelsey Donn:A bad spanking.
Chelsey Donn:Anyway, Trey, why did you give Matthew half of a crown?
Trey Gerrald:I did half of a crown because of that final sentence.
Trey Gerrald:I do think that as a gay person, there is an inherent sexual energy at a gym.
Trey Gerrald:And so if I was a straight man, I was reading mass then like maybe there would
Trey Gerrald:I don't find Matthew Q to be trustworthy either.
Trey Gerrald:So I just said half a crown, because if I was similar to Matthew and morals and ethics, then
Trey Gerrald:But it has nothing to do with planet fitness.
Trey Gerrald:That's nothing, there's no value.
Trey Gerrald:Like it's just, the spelling is atrocious.
Trey Gerrald:So for that reason, I did half a crown.
Chelsey Donn:It needs to go if we had like a Review!
Chelsey Donn:Queens equivalent to like Razzie is for worst Review!
Chelsey Donn:ever, I think this would be a nominee for me.
Trey Gerrald:I think he would be a nominee.
Trey Gerrald:But I do think ultimately I wouldn't want to honor Matthew any more than
Chelsey Donn:That's true.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Well, let's take a quick break.
Chelsey Donn:Cause clearly I need a breather and when we come back, we can get into my Review!
Chelsey Donn:BRB.

VOICEOVER:A'..
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Here's the deal.
Chelsey Donn:Trey and I have each picked a rotten scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger.
Chelsey Donn:And with 30 seconds on the clock, we'll take turns, reciting the
Trey Gerrald:Just like queen Meryl Streep, who does it all!
Chelsey Donn:Before the clock runs out.
Trey Gerrald:All right, Chelsey, my dear.
Trey Gerrald:What is your zinger for this New Years bash?
Chelsey Donn:I'm so glad that you asked.
Chelsey Donn:I don't actually was just thinking about it.
Chelsey Donn:I should've looked this up before the show.
Chelsey Donn:I'm not sure if Meryl's in this movie, because I think that Meryl is in a few of
Trey Gerrald:With like 900 actors in it.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:You know how they always make all those movies?
Chelsey Donn:That just seems like, I dunno.
Chelsey Donn:CAA was like trying to get everybody their health insurance or something like that.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I think that this is one of those.
Chelsey Donn:This is a one-star Google review from Noelle F for the movie, New Year's Eve: puke on a stick.
Chelsey Donn:You owe me so much beer.
Chelsey Donn:Puke on a stick.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I just thought that was so funny.
Trey Gerrald:Have you ever seen New Year's Eve?
Chelsey Donn:No, have you?
Trey Gerrald:No.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:Are you ready?
Chelsey Donn:Oh, I'm going to confirm nor deny.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:I'm going to strap you into, I got to say at the New Year's Eve ball,
Chelsey Donn:that's what I was going to strap you into, but I'll find something else.
Trey Gerrald:No, we can both be on it.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:We'll see who gets there first to the bottom.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Sounds good.
Chelsey Donn:I'm ready.
VOICEOVER:3, 2, 1, Go!
VOICEOVER:Televangelists.
VOICEOVER:You always tell us man, breaking news.

Chelsey Donn:Okay Trey.
Chelsey Donn:Where's your finzingerger from this week?
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:This week, my One-Star-Zinger is from party city.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:A favorite of yours.
Trey Gerrald:That is a new favorite, especially for zingers.
Trey Gerrald:This is a New Year's Eve tinsil party hat.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:It is $6.
Trey Gerrald:And you know, unfortunately they don't tell you who the reviewer is.
Trey Gerrald:This One-Star-Zinger subject is, do not waste money on this.
Trey Gerrald:And the Review!
Trey Gerrald:is very ugly sewed.
Trey Gerrald:It did not look like the picture at all.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:What, isn't the correct grammar sewn?.
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Chelsey Donn:Yes it is.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:And it's interesting because the tensile hat itself is like see-through, but on
Trey Gerrald:And then the rim is so it's like, it's like clear plastic that's filled with tensile.
Trey Gerrald:So maybe that's why it's sewn.
Trey Gerrald:So ugly regardless who cares?
Trey Gerrald:Am I on the ball too?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, I also was going to have you on the ball, but I was thinking I
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:With the cork, you're like popping.
Chelsey Donn:You're gonna like, you're gonna fly around.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, look at that.
Chelsey Donn:And he has a champagne ready.
Chelsey Donn:You're going to fly around the Meryl-Go-Round with the force of a pop cork.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:So no pressure, but get ready to fly.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Trey Gerrald:I'm going to really channel that.
Trey Gerrald:So here we go.
Chelsey Donn:Here we go.
VOICEOVER:3, 2, 1.
VOICEOVER:GO!
VOICEOVER:Musical theater, very
VOICEOVER:ugly sowed.
VOICEOVER:It did not look like the picture at all.
VOICEOVER:Film new are
VOICEOVER:them really ugly.
VOICEOVER:So I did not look like the picture at all.
VOICEOVER:Soap opera
VOICEOVER:at all.
VOICEOVER:Lifetime
VOICEOVER:horror.
VOICEOVER:3, 2, 1.
VOICEOVER:That's all!
Chelsey Donn:Trey.
Chelsey Donn:You're so funny.
Chelsey Donn:You're so good at this game.
Chelsey Donn:You got five.
Chelsey Donn:My friend.
Chelsey Donn:That was great.
Trey Gerrald:So close, but no cigar cause you're the winner.
Chelsey Donn:I guess the Ball wins this time.
Trey Gerrald:Yup.
Trey Gerrald:And the champion cork ends up in the trash, but you know what?
Trey Gerrald:We've got a full year for me to get back on top
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Trey Gerrald:Ah, all right.
Trey Gerrald:We are back for that rousing game break and it is now your turn Chelsey Donn,
Trey Gerrald:from this week?
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:So this review is written about the, I guess you call it like a club, like a
Trey Gerrald:No!
Chelsey Donn:It's like a club slash restaurant.
Chelsey Donn:I feel like it had a really good reputation maybe.
Chelsey Donn:Are we calling it the early aughts?
Chelsey Donn:Is that what we say about early two thousands?
Chelsey Donn:But like, I want to say like early two thousands, it was a very popular place to go.
Chelsey Donn:They have a few locations.
Chelsey Donn:One of them being Miami, which I want to say was maybe the first.
Chelsey Donn:So this is a One, dot Review!
Chelsey Donn:from TripAdvisor writtenby Kathleen T about Nikki Beach.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:My fiance and I visited Miami Beach for New Year's weekend.
Chelsey Donn:We dined in some of the finest restaurants over a four night vacation.
Chelsey Donn:By far the worst service and poorly prepared food was at this place, which according to the reviews
Chelsey Donn:The staff was exhausted from New Year's Eve the night before apparently having tossed
Chelsey Donn:I get that.
Chelsey Donn:Glad it was a smash, but they chose to be open on the first and the
Chelsey Donn:If they were not up to it both physically or mentally, they should've closed for the holiday.
Chelsey Donn:We waited to be seated.
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Chelsey Donn:We had reservations for several weeks, actually for 20 minutes with no one even looking at us.
Chelsey Donn:Yes, we were groomed and dressed very appropriately.
Chelsey Donn:Finally at our seat, we watched two servers about to lose their minds over the mistakes
Chelsey Donn:The drinks took a bit, but were weak, the food, which by then we decided to just get a couple of
Chelsey Donn:When the $51 bill showed up, we were just happy to have this very disappointing experience over with.
Chelsey Donn:I wasn't even going to write a bad review because this company has over
Chelsey Donn:And I'm sure they will not care less over one bad review, but I assure them and all who read
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Kathleen,
Chelsey Donn:Kathleen T had a bad experience out of the interest of true transparency.
Chelsey Donn:I think there were two times where the word lose was written and both
Trey Gerrald:Oh, so an extra Oh.
Chelsey Donn:Extra oh.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So I have a couple of thoughts here because.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Timeframe.
Trey Gerrald:Is Kathleen saying they waited 20 minutes to be seated and then they waited
Chelsey Donn:Yes!
Chelsey Donn:Did you find that suspicious?
Trey Gerrald:No, I'm just thinking, like, I think that waiting 20 minutes for your
Trey Gerrald:I mean, waiting always makes people upset, but waiting 20 minutes.
Trey Gerrald:So order alcohol, I think is crazy.
Chelsey Donn:I agreed, especially after having just waited 20 minutes.
Chelsey Donn:Cause now you figure we're 40 minutes past the reservation and we haven't
Trey Gerrald:I also love that Kathleen multiple times twice for sure.
Trey Gerrald:Says.
Trey Gerrald:Yes, we did reservations.
Trey Gerrald:Yes, we were.
Trey Gerrald:Well-groomed it's like, don't try to question me, Review Queens.
Chelsey Donn:I actually really, really liked that because as I was reading
Chelsey Donn:And then it was like, yeah, we did like, you know, I didn't think about the dress thing, but
Trey Gerrald:it was funny to me.
Trey Gerrald:Like, it's assuming that you're going to be negated.
Trey Gerrald:Which is like an interesting point of view of the world.
Chelsey Donn:I think that it it's a little bit is a little bit to do with like the
Chelsey Donn:I mean, this review was written in 16, so that was, you know, five years ago.
Chelsey Donn:So I think it was still pretty popular at that point.
Chelsey Donn:And I think it's like the person that wants to go to Nikki Beach, might
Chelsey Donn:Like, well, maybe you weren't the right clientele.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe you didn't make a reservation.
Chelsey Donn:You know?
Chelsey Donn:So I think that Kathleen T is writing this Review!
Chelsey Donn:to that individual
Trey Gerrald:That comes across too in the way Kathleen says, like this
Trey Gerrald:And like, obviously, like they probably won't care about my one grievance.
Trey Gerrald:So it's also funny to me.
Trey Gerrald:That Kathleen mentions like the glossy advertisements.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:What does that mean?
Trey Gerrald:Like it it's glossy and like how fun it looks or like glossy and like magazines or
Chelsey Donn:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I sort of wondered about that too.
Chelsey Donn:Like, are we using glossy and this sentence literally like a glossy, like you said, like flier
Chelsey Donn:Glowing, almost like glowing reviews.
Chelsey Donn:I wasn't sure.
Chelsey Donn:Or glowing advertisements.
Chelsey Donn:You know what I mean?
Trey Gerrald:Oh, interesting.
Trey Gerrald:There's no way to deduce.
Trey Gerrald:For me.
Trey Gerrald:I
Chelsey Donn:guess if I was going to define glossy, I would think somewhere
Trey Gerrald:It just makes me think of.
Trey Gerrald:Lip gloss.
Trey Gerrald:And then I also love that.
Trey Gerrald:They're like, okay, we need to cut our losses.
Trey Gerrald:This has just been so horrible.
Trey Gerrald:So horrible.
Trey Gerrald:Let's just get appetizers,
Chelsey Donn:Let's just get appetizers and get outta here.
Trey Gerrald:But then I did think is Nikki Beach also like a club that serves dinner?.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it's like a, it's like a club restaurant,
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:Because I would think that the fastest appetizers are going to be similar to a gas station.
Trey Gerrald:Cause it's probably going to be popcorn chicken or calamari or like onion rings, basket.
Trey Gerrald:Like it's all that stuff that like is quick,
Chelsey Donn:right?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:What did you think about that as like a dig?
Trey Gerrald:I think that it's a smart tactic for Kathleen to take.
Trey Gerrald:If, if Kathleen anticipate it's not being taken seriously by the organization to allude that
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:It's definitely a dig!
Trey Gerrald:But that's even more disappointing, but then I'm also
Trey Gerrald:You have got, at least I'm assuming it's two people, maybe more, they've gotten
Trey Gerrald:I'm like, that's pretty cheap!
Chelsey Donn:I know.
Chelsey Donn:I was just not to say the same thing.
Chelsey Donn:Like at my bougie for thinking like, wait, you definitely, at least got one round of
Chelsey Donn:So it had to have been more than one and you'll only be at $51.
Chelsey Donn:That.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, that seems, that seems very low, especially considering I've never been
Trey Gerrald:I would think $18 for like a signature cocktail.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:So with tax and everything, like, you know?
Trey Gerrald:SO, okay.
Trey Gerrald:So much of this experience, Kathleen, at least places the blame on the
Trey Gerrald:And they've made the assumption that everyone's just tired, right?
Trey Gerrald:I'm questioning the value here because maybe this is very valuable for that
Trey Gerrald:Like don't go after New Year's or like, that just expect everyone to be
Trey Gerrald:They're going to have a huge party the night before.
Trey Gerrald:Servers and such, we'll probably be young and hot.
Chelsey Donn:And even if they weren't working on New Year's Eve, but they're
Chelsey Donn:So either way, we're not doing the creme de LA creme of service.
Chelsey Donn:I agree.
Trey Gerrald:That's the worst time to work.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I do think it's a choice to be open on New Year's day.
Chelsey Donn:I can understand the impetus to make a reservation at Nikki Beach on New Year's day.
Chelsey Donn:Just because if it's open, maybe you're thinking let's keep the party going.
Chelsey Donn:You know?
Chelsey Donn:So I don't, I don't fall Kathleen T for making this reservation.
Chelsey Donn:I think they obviously let us know that they were disappointed in the
Chelsey Donn:There's nothing about the Review!
Chelsey Donn:necessarily.
Chelsey Donn:And Ty Nikki Beach, except for the gas station deg, which obviously would
Trey Gerrald:But even this year, 2021 and 2022 New Year's Eve is Friday.
Trey Gerrald:And New Year's day is Saturday.
Trey Gerrald:Of course, this place is going to be open.
Trey Gerrald:What does that dig about?
Trey Gerrald:Like if you made the choice to be open, you made that choice.
Trey Gerrald:Like it's a Saturday night.
Trey Gerrald:Like, of course it's I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I guess the only response I'd have to that is
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I like every year I feel like I have amnesia and I forget how things
Chelsey Donn:I don't know, maybe cause like on Christmas day, a lot of restaurants are closed.
Trey Gerrald:I'm not sure, but I do imagine because we do take
Trey Gerrald:You're going to have, and if you're in Miami, you're in tourist town!
Chelsey Donn:You're not closing on New Year's day.
Trey Gerrald:You think you would be catering to hung over people on New Year's
Trey Gerrald:I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:Do you think that Kathleen is being truthful?
Chelsey Donn:I do.
Trey Gerrald:I do too.
Trey Gerrald:I think Kathleen has made a huge assumption that everyone's hung up.
Chelsey Donn:But like, I think you can tell when someone's hung over.
Chelsey Donn:So if we're making that assessment, I think it's probably at least half warranted.
Trey Gerrald:Right?
Trey Gerrald:Well, I was going to say, I would like Kathleen to have explicitly stated it was very clear that
Trey Gerrald:Wasn't completely hung over, like, you know, whatever.
Trey Gerrald:That's just my thought, but I mean then, then the commonality, I don't know, maybe, maybe, but.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, it is hard.
Chelsey Donn:It does feel very specific to this time of year, which has value to me because we've like
Chelsey Donn:reader that will go and type in the specific thing that I'm looking for.
Chelsey Donn:So if I was going to go to Nikki Beach in Miami for New Year's, I would go to TripAdvisor
Chelsey Donn:Cause, Patreon.
Chelsey Donn:I got S I got a story for you guys later about, uh, Miami new years.
Chelsey Donn:I actually, two Miami new years experiences that I had that were equally insane.
Chelsey Donn:So I would want to know if I was going to do Miami a third time.
Chelsey Donn:Is this the place to do it because I've been burned before?
Chelsey Donn:So I think I would take it into consideration at very least.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, I think I can talk about the impact of my crowning.
Trey Gerrald:Do you think there's anything else?
Chelsey Donn:Spelling and grammar mostly good.
Chelsey Donn:Except for those two changes that I made: loose, lose.
Chelsey Donn:I'm confused.
Chelsey Donn:How many pairs of New Year's glasses do you have, Trey?
Trey Gerrald:I was telling Patreon, this was like a photo booth package that I thought would
Trey Gerrald:So we've got two more to go through, You and I, Chels.
Chelsey Donn:That's hilarious.
Chelsey Donn:Cause you guys, I didn't even notice until like, this is the fourth pair that you're
Trey Gerrald:Yeah I've worn three other ones.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So let's uh, let's crown it.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
Trey Gerrald:You ready?
Chelsey Donn:Yes!
VOICEOVER:Total Score!
Trey Gerrald:Oh dear.
Trey Gerrald:I said one and a half.
Chelsey Donn:I'll interesting trays holding up one and a half.
Chelsey Donn:I'm holding up three crowns.
Chelsey Donn:Trey, tell us why are you holding up one and a half crowns?
Trey Gerrald:I just said one and a half crowns because it's so
Trey Gerrald:And I, I am feeling conflicted because we're going off of the fact that the whole establishment was
Trey Gerrald:So then they came over with the drinks and then took a long time and then they
Trey Gerrald:I don't have enough evidence that that's true.
Trey Gerrald:That's what Kathleen has presented.
Trey Gerrald:So therefore going along with that, it's not funny, you know, maybe two little
Trey Gerrald:I think maybe Kathleen is truthful.
Trey Gerrald:Like I think whatever.
Trey Gerrald:I also thought that like, there's not that much value here to me other than it's not
Trey Gerrald:So I said one and a half because ultimately the people that work there might be
Trey Gerrald:So like, if that's maybe valuable to me, but other than that, I don't think there's much value here.
Trey Gerrald:So that's why I said one and a half.
Trey Gerrald:Why did you say three?
Chelsey Donn:I said three, because I did find value here.
Chelsey Donn:I, like I said, I'm the type of reviewer that's going to search the word.
Chelsey Donn:Beyond that.
Chelsey Donn:Like things that I like knowing and reviews before I go to restaurants, especially like,
Chelsey Donn:Like, is this the type of place where I'm going to have to wait?
Chelsey Donn:Even though I have a reservation, I don't know if that's only the case because it's near as day.
Chelsey Donn:I kind of feel like it's not.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I think a place like Nikki Beach.
Chelsey Donn:Like we said kind of a tourist shop, so it's going to be crowded most of the time.
Chelsey Donn:So I thought that was good information to know like, alright, prepare myself.
Chelsey Donn:I might be waiting 20 minutes to get in.
Chelsey Donn:I might be, you know, waiting a while to be served.
Chelsey Donn:I better make sure I don't show up like hangry.
Chelsey Donn:And like I needed a drink yesterday if I'm going to go to Nikki Beach.
Chelsey Donn:So I did find.
Chelsey Donn:Valuable and spelling was mostly good.
Chelsey Donn:I believe that Kathleen T's experience was authentic to what they really experienced.
Chelsey Donn:So for that reason, I awarded Kathleen T three, three crowns.
Chelsey Donn:I did it.
Trey Gerrald:Love it.
Trey Gerrald:Good job.
Trey Gerrald:Very fun.
Trey Gerrald:Now I want to go to Miami.
Trey Gerrald:I can't wait to hear your story and the after-show podcasts, but in the meantime,
Trey Gerrald:I am so curious.
Trey Gerrald:I would love for you to tell me, who are you inducting this week for
VOICEOVER:My Royal Highness
Chelsey Donn:I had this planned and I'm going to still do it, even though one of
Chelsey Donn:I'm going to make for My Royal Highness, this New Year's people who write online reviews.
Chelsey Donn:Right?
Chelsey Donn:We got to give it up for the people that write online reviews.
Chelsey Donn:We wouldn't have a show if people
Chelsey Donn:- Trey Gerrald: This is so META!
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:But if people were not brave enough to at least step forward and give us their
Chelsey Donn:You're doing it for free.
Chelsey Donn:Obviously we've, we've had a few Review!
Chelsey Donn:Queens on the show.
Chelsey Donn:We've given many people high ratings in terms of their reviews, which means that constantly
Chelsey Donn:And I just think.
Chelsey Donn:It's overdue.
Chelsey Donn:Try.
Chelsey Donn:We have to induct the online Review!
Chelsey Donn:writers as our Royal Highness.
Chelsey Donn:Don't you think
Trey Gerrald:it's so smart and such a great induction.
Trey Gerrald:There is power in sharing truth.
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:And there's fun.
Trey Gerrald:And, and reading shared shadiness.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, it's all the things about the show that we love.
Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Trey.
Chelsey Donn:Who are you inducting on this New Year's Eve as your Royal Highness?
Trey Gerrald:Well, today I was thinking, what do I love about New Year's New Year's bashes.
Trey Gerrald:And I am going to induct confetti.
Trey Gerrald:I love confetti and glitter.
Trey Gerrald:I just think that it's so fun.
Trey Gerrald:I love it.
Trey Gerrald:Any activity where people are in high spirits, where they will kiss and show affection and love.
Trey Gerrald:And the possibility I feel like new years is so ripe with I'm going to like achieve it all.
Trey Gerrald:And that's a beautiful energy.
Trey Gerrald:And I think that that is encapsulated in confetti glitter.
Trey Gerrald:It's just like we are unabashedly throwing and celebrating and smiling and looking
Trey Gerrald:And open-hearted all of those things.
Trey Gerrald:That's how glitter is to me.
Trey Gerrald:Confetti.
Trey Gerrald:And so for that reason, I am inducting confetti for My Royal Highness.
Chelsey Donn:I love that.
Chelsey Donn:I love that moment on like reality shows, whatever it is when the person wins.
Chelsey Donn:And then they like set off that confetti bomb and all of a sudden the person is like,
Chelsey Donn:And there's all that confetti falling.
Chelsey Donn:It's like a very satisfying thing to watch.
Trey Gerrald:Wait.
Trey Gerrald:Did I Lodge a complaints about confetti at Broadway shows?
Chelsey Donn:I don't think so.
Trey Gerrald:Was that a dress rehearsal?
Chelsey Donn:I don't remember you doing that.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:I'm going to circle back to that.
Trey Gerrald:Cause I do have a complaint about confetti in musicals, but
Chelsey Donn:I also have a complaint about glitter, but I think we're going to allow-
Trey Gerrald:...because you have to clean it up?
Chelsey Donn:Well, they say it's the herpes of arts and crafts,
Trey Gerrald:right.
Trey Gerrald:It never right.
Trey Gerrald:You can't biodegrade, but now people make biodegradable glitter.
