Hi, how are you?
CHELSEY:I'm good.
CHELSEY:Welcome everybody.
CHELSEY:Who's reviews We're just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of reviewing cinematic
CHELSEY:reviews And that's Trey, Gerrald These crowns are heavy, you know, but somebody's got to wear them,
CHELSEY:Shh wants to be logical all the time.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:How's your week been Trey How you doing?
CHELSEY:Please do reveal.
CHELSEY:How cute is that?
CHELSEY:Perfect.
CHELSEY:I'm going virtual with my crown today.
TREY:is
CHELSEY:Of course.
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:Let's hear it.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:He helped you cheat on the parallel parking portion Cheaters never
CHELSEY:win
CHELSEY:Yeah, I'd
CHELSEY:be interested in looking up the history of parallel parking.
CHELSEY:I mean, I feel like it's space efficient.
CHELSEY:I think that that's probably, yeah.
CHELSEY:How it came to be, but I hear you.
CHELSEY:I'm a pretty good parallel Parker.
CHELSEY:I was taught by, um, my dad's office.
CHELSEY:Manager's ex-husband who used to fix Greyhound buses.
CHELSEY:And so he had to parallel park a Greyhound bus
CHELSEY:but when you.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:When you learn how to parallel park from someone who parks like Greyhound buses,
CHELSEY:He also used his body instead of a cone.
CHELSEY:Like he's stood as if he were the car, which is, has said something about him
TREY:so everyone's
CHELSEY:Um, God forbid, you'd knock your side view mirror off.
TREY:I agree
CHELSEY:My weekend is good.
CHELSEY:I still like have a bit of an issue with Murphy and apparently like retrograde and all that.
CHELSEY:My air conditioning is still not working.
CHELSEY:It's like a huge heat wave here right now.
CHELSEY:Thank God for fans.
CHELSEY:I got a fan.
CHELSEY:So life has been better.
CHELSEY:If you hear the fan in the background, I apologize.
CHELSEY:It's not going off.
CHELSEY:Disclaimer,
CHELSEY:I'm going to lodge a complaint today against paper receipts
CHELSEY:It needs.
CHELSEY:It's done.
CHELSEY:We need to be done with paper receipts.
CHELSEY:I don't know anyone who's successfully saved a paper receipts.
CHELSEY:You know, I do my taxes, but like, I can't be responsible for holding
CHELSEY:I mean, I've, I've done taxes for clients before who keep all of their, their receipts.
CHELSEY:and in like boxes.
CHELSEY:And then by the time I looked at it to help them file the ink is smudged off.
CHELSEY:deteriorated to near nothing.
CHELSEY:The fact that we are wasting trees for this purpose of paper receipts, and the
CHELSEY:I mean, I was there this morning.
CHELSEY:It's absolutely ridiculous.
CHELSEY:Like you go in, I buy Tylenol.
CHELSEY:My receipt could line the parking lot.
CHELSEY:Like it was just out of control how big this receipt is.
CHELSEY:They're giving me coupons that they know I'm not going to use.
CHELSEY:It's wasteful, you know, it's wasteful I'm over it.
CHELSEY:We need a new way.
CHELSEY:It's 2021 Enough
CHELSEY:more
CHELSEY:more wasteful?
CHELSEY:Yes.
TREY:Just folded.
TREY:it's
CHELSEY:I know, I just think we gotta do something about this.
CHELSEY:Let's create a mandate.
CHELSEY:I mean, we can start in California and New York as things usually do.
CHELSEY:I'm Lodging a complaint.
CHELSEY:Thank you.
CHELSEY:I agree.
CHELSEY:I'm just
CHELSEY:so glad I got to get that off my chest and say that.
CHELSEY:And now I would love to hear what some other people have to say.
CHELSEY:What about you?
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:As you know, we are your trusty review Queens.
CHELSEY:We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected.
CHELSEY:We read you the review, we break it down and then we rate the impact of the review
CHELSEY:It's a very Regal process that we call.
CHELSEY:Kvetch It means complain like, oh, stop kvetching You're complaining so much.
CHELSEY:Exactly
TREY:It
CHELSEY:rolls right off the tongue.
CHELSEY:Really.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:Trey Guess what we We don't have to ask who goes first, today?
CHELSEY:Did you know that?
CHELSEY:Because we have a special edition episode today.
CHELSEY:Wow.
CHELSEY:Episode four.
CHELSEY:And that's exactly what we have in store for you today.
CHELSEY:When we have these special edition episodes, we will flip a coin to determine
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:call it in the air.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:In the air.
CHELSEY:I'm ready Yes.
CHELSEY:Heads.
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:And that means that you are going to be going first, right?
CHELSEY:Cause you're going to be reading the one-star review.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:Huge.
CHELSEY:Do we think it's like short for like spin fool?
CHELSEY:Like I'm a spin Bo maybe.
CHELSEY:try to incorporate that into my bias.
CHELSEY:Yes,
TREY:from your bias
CHELSEY:Let's hear
CHELSEY:it.
CHELSEY:Wow.
CHELSEY:Celeste w sounds like she was traumatized a little bit.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
TREY:All
CHELSEY:Well, I was getting a little bit of Karen vibes.
CHELSEY:I'm not going to lie.
CHELSEY:However, what I was intrigued by was we're, we're declaring that we have evidence, we
CHELSEY:So if that's true, According to the language, you know, that, that she was
CHELSEY:There would be evidence of that.
CHELSEY:So I would want to call her into question and say, maybe she's, you know,
CHELSEY:And I think that that is pretty unacceptable.
CHELSEY:I think so.
CHELSEY:I mean, you know, me, I like vibes I need good vibes.
CHELSEY:I need good energy.
CHELSEY:So like the fact that he was like, I'm going to predict that you have a bad wedding.
CHELSEY:That's like, that's.
CHELSEY:a No, no with me, I would not want to go with anybody that had even the smallest
CHELSEY:So if I were to read this review, yeah, I think there'll be a very large part
CHELSEY:In some cases like I'll knock off a couple of crowns for that because yeah.
CHELSEY:We're not really talking about the actual experience.
CHELSEY:However, in the wedding industry specifically, let's say I'm going to the knot, it's a service
CHELSEY:I want to know, even sometimes more than that, the day of the event,
CHELSEY:I'm getting into bed with this person for several months, leading up to the wedding.
CHELSEY:What is that interaction going to be with?
CHELSEY:And if I'm going to sense that this is going to be trouble, that I'm going to get pushed
CHELSEY:That's something that I would want to know.
CHELSEY:So I am curious about the pre wedding process, and I think a lot of people
CHELSEY:planning is the thing, you know, like it is all, it's a year of planning for a day that.
CHELSEY:Is over like that, the rest of your life and please have wonderful wedding.
CHELSEY:Um,
CHELSEY:The o Gotcha.
CHELSEY:This is likely a first draft from Celeste.
CHELSEY:Uh, along those lines, if I am going to knock off a couple pounds, possibly, I'm not
CHELSEY:No, that's not true.
CHELSEY:There are professional DJs, they're professional for a reason, they keep the energy going.
CHELSEY:They have so many skills.
CHELSEY:I've gone to weddings where they've like pressed a Spotify playlist.
CHELSEY:And it is nowhere near the same as having a professional DJ.
CHELSEY:Who's like really able to just take in the energy of the crowd and work with people.
CHELSEY:And so I think that was a bit of an over-step
CHELSEY:maybe.
TREY:I do feel like that was a little bit, you know,
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:And then the Karen bites came a little bit cause she was like, I forwarded the emails
CHELSEY:I mean, there are a lot of emotions surrounding planning this, so I'm not going to negate
CHELSEY:It's a big day.
CHELSEY:And I think she probably was thrown.
CHELSEY:Um, if in fact she was called, you know, a clown,
CHELSEY:it does seem like a, like an insult from a DJ for some reason.
CHELSEY:I think she's being truthful, especially like I started to say with the, the
CHELSEY:I mean, I guess she could be lying, but I don't know why she would, unless she's like a competitor
CHELSEY:I think to say like, I have emails like this person said this, I have emails.
CHELSEY:I forwarded along to the Knot I think she is being honest.
CHELSEY:About her experience.
CHELSEY:I don't know that this is a typical experience though.
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:I'm glad that you brought that up because I meant to ask that and then I forgot.
CHELSEY:So it felt like we very quickly got from, like, I reached out to him to like all
CHELSEY:And I I'm like, maybe I miss something in there, but like, so, so she reached
CHELSEY:Got it.
TREY:And
CHELSEY:So they were very busy, so they didn't like respond right away.
CHELSEY:That's interesting.
CHELSEY:It's a good point to be like, when do you call him ignorant?
CHELSEY:Is it that Celeste was like, we want, like, we're really interested in you.
CHELSEY:Like, we are ready to like pull the trigger or these are the dates that we want.
CHELSEY:And they were all in for Spynfo and then didn't respond right away.
CHELSEY:So they found somebody else.
CHELSEY:And then.
CHELSEY:Yeah, you're right.
CHELSEY:It shouldn't really be a factor.
CHELSEY:I wasn't like, I wasn't bored to death, but I wouldn't say that I was like thrilled.
CHELSEY:If we were in previews for this show, I would think this isn't going to
CHELSEY:They need it punched up.
CHELSEY:I do think it's a deal breaker, which I think makes it impactful.
CHELSEY:Like I said, it's really the energy, the vibe thing.
CHELSEY:That's super important to me.
CHELSEY:I'm very gun shy about that stuff.
CHELSEY:So if I heard that there was somebody in what I consider to be very much a service
CHELSEY:It's like, you know, it's been followed, take the higher road.
CHELSEY:If she's not interested in you.
CHELSEY:Thank you, next We just don't know the context, I guess.
CHELSEY:Exactly.
CHELSEY:I think that that's, what's hard is like, I do think that's maybe where
CHELSEY:I wonder if, if we've omitted some of the information to make ourselves look better
CHELSEY:hear you.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:I, I do think there might be a factor here where Celeste is, is burying a bit of the lead.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:I feel like I have enough information to crown it.
VOICEOVER:All right, Trey.
VOICEOVER:Are you ready?
CHELSEY:Okay, I'm ready too.
CHELSEY:Oh.
CHELSEY:Interesting.
CHELSEY:Trey is holding up two crowns I gave Celeste three crowns.
CHELSEY:I took away some points for the grammar, for the bias, uh, for the potential bias.
CHELSEY:I shall say I also, I gave her points because personally energy
CHELSEY:So I do think this would impact.
CHELSEY:My, I I'm just super sensitive, especially with events like this.
CHELSEY:I want to make sure that the PR person is perfect.
CHELSEY:So I'm not going to lie.
CHELSEY:If I read a review like this, I might be like, Ooh, that's, that's a bit of a turnoff.
CHELSEY:I don't want to move forward.
CHELSEY:I would need a personal reference for Spynfo to supersede this review.
CHELSEY:So, because she's influenced me personally, that degree, I felt like I had to give her
CHELSEY:I think that that's a good point.
CHELSEY:I didn't know that it was littered amongst five star reviews.
CHELSEY:That being said, because we are doing a one and five.
CHELSEY:I'm super curious to hear what the next review has to say, because maybe.
CHELSEY:I'm going to want to make a, make a, a change here to my review of Celeste but
CHELSEY:oh, there's a reply y Yeah
CHELSEY:Oh my God.
CHELSEY:Hold on.
CHELSEY:Let me get that.
CHELSEY:Oh,
CHELSEY:my goodness.
CHELSEY:Wow.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:This, this really does change the game a little bit.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:I'm going to try to do Spynfo some justice here.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:This is completely inaccurate.
CHELSEY:My reviews and years of work, speak for itself for someone to take this much time out of their day to
CHELSEY:The number that I called didn't work, and this is her response From Celeste.
CHELSEY:W did you read the email at 11:10 where I provided you with my number to call me?
CHELSEY:Why you given me your number to call you?
CHELSEY:I see you're too busy for me and my special event.
CHELSEY:Never mind.
CHELSEY:I will go back on Knots and get another DJ.
CHELSEY:This is too much back and forth for me.
CHELSEY:and I have enough to do as it is.
CHELSEY:Thank you.
CHELSEY:But no, thanks.
CHELSEY:We will look elsewhere.
CHELSEY:I asked you to stop emailing after I realized you weren't serious and you began to send
CHELSEY:I wish you the best.
CHELSEY:For those interested in booking DJ Spynfo AKA Mr.
CHELSEY:Matrimony, please refer to www.djspynfo.net Oh my God.
CHELSEY:I have a whole new opinion.
CHELSEY:of Celeste.
CHELSEY:I got to say for the listeners who.
CHELSEY:Are not seeing what I'm seeing.
CHELSEY:Trey mentioned again, not that this is the majority of what we're grading things on,
CHELSEY:And in fact did say the whole thing about God punishing him, wow.
CHELSEY:I just, this is why it's important that we have a reply It's amazing though because
CHELSEY:You know, he's doing it to be a little shady, but like this is his business.
CHELSEY:And if, if that's true and like we were saying before, it did seem like Celeste
CHELSEY:So if this in fact is the rest of the story and she was harassing him via email after like giving
CHELSEY:That Celeste W gave him the wrong number?
CHELSEY:I really gave Celeste W too much credit.
CHELSEY:I feel pretty swayed.
CHELSEY:I think there would be a part of me.
CHELSEY:That's like, who is this guy?
CHELSEY:Like, I don't know, but like, there wouldn't be drama cause I wouldn't come at somebody like that.
CHELSEY:So I don't like that.
CHELSEY:The, I still don't like the fact that he was like, your wedding is going to be horrible.
CHELSEY:If in fact he did say that he didn't negate it.
CHELSEY:He didn't say, I didn't say that.
CHELSEY:He didn't say I didn't call her clown.
CHELSEY:He didn't, he, you know, he didn't redact.
CHELSEY:Any of the things that she accused him of saying, and I still think it's wrong.
CHELSEY:And I don't, I wouldn't want a DJ who is going to clap back like that.
CHELSEY:But we're clearly seeing now that DJ Spynfo was provoked.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
TREY:here's we
CHELSEY:email me.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:I feel even more intrigued to read that five star review.
CHELSEY:Now I feel like maybe I did DJ Spynfo a little bit wrong, but I'm not
CHELSEY:Cause I still don't like the clown thing.
CHELSEY:However, I wonder.
CHELSEY:If clown was said first or the Hulk was said first.
CHELSEY:Cause that to me is hilarious as well.
CHELSEY:The fact that, that she said that God was going to punish him and that she planned on getting him
CHELSEY:Yeah, I would be disturbed as he says.
CHELSEY:All right, DJ, Spynfo You might've gotten me back with your reply More to come
CHELSEY:I'm knocking Celeste down to two crowns, for sure.
CHELSEY:With the possibility even giving one crown, depending on what I hear in
TREY:As we
CHELSEY:Wow.
CHELSEY:I am secure on this pony.
CHELSEY:Um, thank you for making sure that I had my seatbelt on.
CHELSEY:You're always looking out for me.
CHELSEY:I think you're, let's see.
CHELSEY:I think maybe you're on like, like a horse, but like with wings, what is that called?
CHELSEY:Pegasus I get it.
CHELSEY:I did that now as an adult, sometimes I have to get on carousels with like my niece and
CHELSEY:That's what the bench is really for.
CHELSEY:They're too little to be on the horse.
CHELSEY:So then you have to sit with them on the bench and like watch everybody else having fun,
TREY:today
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:Here's the deal Trey and I are each going to pick, or we already picked a rotten scathing pithy
CHELSEY:We will take turns, trying to recite the zinger in as many genres as possible.
CHELSEY:Before the clock runs out.
CHELSEY:It's up to you.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:Trey is going to go first.
CHELSEY:Um, so take it away.
CHELSEY:Trey Okay.
CHELSEY:All right, Trey.
CHELSEY:Are you ready?
CHELSEY:Okay, take it away.
CHELSEY:Lifetime
CHELSEY:televangelist,
CHELSEY:musical theater.
CHELSEY:My not and goat.
CHELSEY:give you credit for mime First of all, Trey I don't know why you're always
CHELSEY:You're excellent.
CHELSEY:At this game, you did very well.
CHELSEY:You got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in, and that was a pretty lengthy one star zinger.
CHELSEY:So I'm proud of you Okay.
CHELSEY:So now it is my turn.
CHELSEY:This is a Zoc doc review of a primary care physician.
CHELSEY:We're steering I ever had coming into the doc doctor's office.
CHELSEY:So I think, and, and it just says verified patient, Tim D.
CHELSEY:So I think what T Tim D meant to say is that it was the worst experience he
CHELSEY:But in honor of honoring Tim D I will be reading worst spirits I ever
CHELSEY:Thank you.
CHELSEY:This is, this is going to be a tough one, but all right, let's do it.
CHELSEY:Worst spirits I ever had coming into the office.
CHELSEY:Well, coming into the doc doctor's office.
CHELSEY:can't do
CHELSEY:You cannot do a Southern accent after you do an org New York accent right away.
CHELSEY:Or maybe you can
TREY:I it's
CHELSEY:except your win.
CHELSEY:earned it.
CHELSEY:You did excellent.
CHELSEY:I can't, I always can do a Southern accent or Spire inside your head
CHELSEY:I just want to confirm that I could do it.
TREY:the
CHELSEY:You're right.
CHELSEY:And most days I do feel like an i can't and I'm working on that.
CHELSEY:This five star review of DJ Spynfo was written by LaQuawn L without further ado, I
CHELSEY:Before my wife and I arrived to the reception.
CHELSEY:We can hear the party was already jumpin and getting jealous.
CHELSEY:So we couldn't wait to get out there.
CHELSEY:My guests were like, we were literally on the dance floor.
CHELSEY:As soon as we arrived to the reception, the music was just that good.
CHELSEY:Our crowd was diverse.
CHELSEY:I mean, we had everyone from the west Indies to Africa, to Europe, to Asia at our
CHELSEY:DJ Spynfo gave us, we got so many, that was the best wedding I've ever been to comments
CHELSEY:DJ Spynfo kept the crowd.
CHELSEY:Engaged, played everything from the good to the hood.
CHELSEY:And somehow had my Japanese mother in her kimono, swag, surfing and Palancing
CHELSEY:Keep the party going from the beginning to the end.
CHELSEY:Man.
CHELSEY:He was even in the crowd dancing at some point.
CHELSEY:Thanks for the amazing memories.
CHELSEY:He is a dope DJ and MC book him don't think twice you, your family and friends
CHELSEY:Okay, LaQuwan I'm hearing this.
TREY:So
CHELSEY:okay.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:Fair fair.
CHELSEY:Yes,
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:And you touched on what I said before.
CHELSEY:When I got a little bit peeved with Celeste, when she made the dig about, you
CHELSEY:Like the real job of the DJ is to keep the crowd going, like, is the crowd not digging this?
CHELSEY:Like then we got to pivot and it sounds like that DJ Spynfo really did deliver.
CHELSEY:There were quite a few spelling and just copy editing errors.
CHELSEY:in this, I will say there were a few times when I was like, am I reading that, you know, accurately?
CHELSEY:Um, so wasn't, you know, this was written very, very quickly and sort of half hazardly
CHELSEY:I don't, I don't think that was super important to LaQuwan
CHELSEY:As you know, neither here nor there in terms of whether or not we believe that
:very
CHELSEY:pleased.
TREY:of
CHELSEY:I think, I think they gave us like some visual, like even again,
CHELSEY:But even the idea of like getting to your wedding, maybe you just took some pictures
CHELSEY:It sounds like good time in there.
CHELSEY:Like.
CHELSEY:I thought that was, they definitely painted some good pictures for us.
CHELSEY:I'll say that.
CHELSEY:And they hit a lot of things that I think would be important to people like the fact
CHELSEY:Like you're going to have some people that don't resonate with certain music.
CHELSEY:it seems like DJ Spynfo at least gave everybody a taste of, of what they like And that's like
CHELSEY:And as you mentioned before, it does say that DJ Spynfo is also like an M.
CHELSEY:more of an emcee DJ Yeah.
CHELSEY:So it sounds like he's delivering on both fronts.
CHELSEY:appologize But that's like, that's a taste thing right?
CHELSEY:So like not every DJ is for everyone.
CHELSEY:I think that that's okay.
CHELSEY:Like I think even if you read this five star review and you're like, Ooh, I don't really
CHELSEY:Like, I don't think I'm gonna buy it Really very, you know, you get a couple
CHELSEY:I could be like leading that dance for, or, or I could be not.
CHELSEY:And just like sitting down, cause my feet hurt really bad, which usually also happens.
CHELSEY:So I tend to flip flop, but I will say like, I dunno, I have it on my husband yet, so who knows.
CHELSEY:But on the day of my wedding, I, I already have anxiety.
CHELSEY:About needing to be the lead dancer at the affair, because I think that there's pressure
CHELSEY:uh, and the Hora the hora the horah the hora the hora We all know what we're talking about.
CHELSEY:The Hora
CHELSEY:no, it's okay.
CHELSEY:No, the Hora can, can.
CHELSEY:Oh, I think is it something with cloth
TREY:Yeah
CHELSEY:I think the David's more, it comes from a more religious family than I do, but that
CHELSEY:They were serving the cake and they were still doing the Hora.
CHELSEY:At your Oh, okay.
CHELSEY:I get how it can happen.
CHELSEY:Those elbows are high.
TREY:a
TREY:leg I
CHELSEY:broke a lag.
TREY:face
CHELSEY:cause it's like, you're always, you're locking arms with
CHELSEY:It's like, I go to lock arms with you and then wouldn't be the first person
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:Back to the review at hand point is I think we have to eliminate our own taste from.
CHELSEY:The assessment of the review itself, I will say it's interesting that you
CHELSEY:Is this somebody that is writing a fake review?
CHELSEY:It did a little bit Maybe LaQwan L took it seriously.
CHELSEY:And before he wrote this review was like, let me hit all the points that somebody would want
CHELSEY:So I'm going to hit the point about them being, you know, energetic that, about them being
CHELSEY:Just like everybody's saying that it was the best wedding ever.
CHELSEY:Like all those things I think are what you want when you're looking for a DJ.
CHELSEY:So only because I really feel like in almost a calculated way, we hit
CHELSEY:Maybe it's a cynical side of me, but there is part of me that's like, is
CHELSEY:So I had that feeling as well.
CHELSEY:You mentioned that there were a lot of five star reviews, like, so all of them, except
CHELSEY:To me.
CHELSEY:That's sometimes suspect too.
CHELSEY:I'm going to be honest.
CHELSEY:We could have some big ones in there, but going off of, just LaQuwan I'm ready to crown too.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:I have my card, so
CHELSEY:Unanimous.
CHELSEY:We both have four crowns Trey, why did you get four crowns?
CHELSEY:I think four is a very respectable score and that's personally why I gave LaQuwan my
CHELSEY:I thought it was dynamic.
CHELSEY:I thought we had a lot of visuals.
CHELSEY:I knew who was there.
CHELSEY:I knew I loved the detail about the mom and the kimono.
CHELSEY:And those kinds of details did make me feel like this was an authentic review.
CHELSEY:This was an experience that was happening to more people other than just LaQuwan
CHELSEY:So for me, I'm giving LaQuwan no questions, four crowns Wow.
CHELSEY:I think Celeste is shady a little bit.
CHELSEY:I think that Celeste, um, lied by, by omission.
CHELSEY:She sort of was poking the bear.
CHELSEY:It sounds like, and that, you know, DJ Spynfo yeah.
CHELSEY:Responding to being poked.
CHELSEY:So I'm going to say contrary to what I said earlier, and again, willing to admit when
CHELSEY:And I would say that most people can expect to have a jammin time and be fully entertained.
CHELSEY:And up off the floor, doing things that are way more exciting than the electric slide and
CHELSEY:completely agree.
CHELSEY:And I think that that's why this segment is so important to do the one and the
CHELSEY:And the reality is we can't.
CHELSEY:please Everyone.
CHELSEY:We are looking at things in a vacuum because we're a fun show and we're reviewing the reviewer and
CHELSEY:And I love this segment because it shows us that.
CHELSEY:I am inducting a very special woman named Terri Cole who is extremely influential to me.
CHELSEY:Um, she is a life coach guru.
CHELSEY:She was my personal therapist when I was living in New York and I cry At least once a week that
CHELSEY:But that being said, she is not practicing on a one-on-one because she is changing the world and
CHELSEY:And she's a boss.
CHELSEY:And if you have trouble having boundaries with people, I recommend looking up Terri Cole.
CHELSEY:Beyond the fact that she has so many programs and things that you can sign up for.
CHELSEY:The thing that I love the best about Terri is that she has so much free content out there,
CHELSEY:And she is committed to providing value for so many people.
CHELSEY:And she does that for me.
CHELSEY:And she does that for thousands of other people.
CHELSEY:I am just so excited to induct Terri Cole buy her book Boundary Boss I love you Ter You're awesome.

THEME SONG:Review
TREY:Hi,
TREY:I'm so good.
TREY:How are you?
CHELSEY:listening
TREY:Welcome listeners.
TREY:Here we are episode four.
TREY:Welcome to review that review the podcast dedicated to reviewing
TREY:that's Chelsey Donn And when we come together, we form,
TREY:we don't have to wear them.
TREY:It's a podcast.
CHELSEY:Who
TREY:I'm really good.
TREY:oh, I was waiting to make a reveal for you.
TREY:this is an old hat from my favorite coffee shop in key west called the Cuban coffee queen
TREY:for the listeners it has a crown on it.
TREY:I was going for a walk around the neighborhood with Winnie and I put the hat
TREY:Oh, you got your sticker on.
TREY:Um, you did that really fast.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:Anyway, so you asked me how my week's going My week going great.
TREY:Um, it's been a very good week.
TREY:I, um, have been activated and motivated and things are really good.
TREY:That, that doesn't mean that I don't have, um, a complaint that I need to lodge
TREY:Chelsey I really want to lodge a complaint against parallel parking I'm not sure if actually
TREY:And the, he knew that at the DMV, at the South Carolina location, there was
TREY:And he calculated all you had to do was line that little square of white masking tape up to.
TREY:The far off stop sign in the distance.
TREY:And that was how sharp or steep to turn the wheel to perfectly pull in to the one test parallel
TREY:Yes.
TREY:So I.
TREY:Cheaters, never win.
TREY:Anytime I have to parallel park, I I'm reminded of this instance, but I will also share that
TREY:out It becomes like a math equation to me because I don't have that sticker anyway.
TREY:So I'm lodging a complaint against that instructor who taught a 14 year old me that cheating
TREY:Also, I just do want to Lodage a Complaint against the idea of parallel parking, whose idea was that?
TREY:Who, who had like a, a 19 whatever Ford where you had to wind the thing in the front, like
TREY:I think that we should start parking these in a parallel fashion
TREY:Yes,
TREY:What
TREY:I've never considered.
TREY:I get anxious.
TREY:Cause those spots are usually like on a heavy street, like a heavy
TREY:It's one way street.
TREY:And yeah.
TREY:Their honking you're in their way.
TREY:Everyone's busy.
TREY:You're taking time to not knock your side-view mirror off.
CHELSEY:Oh
TREY:Anyway.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So that's my complaint.
TREY:Let's all have a little more compassion for people trying to successfully pillar
TREY:How's your week.
TREY:Fair.
CHELSEY:It's
TREY:CVS.
TREY:Yep.
TREY:Those, um, receipt, coupon, receipts, they are even thicker.
TREY:Have you ever noticed that the paper's a little bit thicker,
CHELSEY:Yeah trees
TREY:even more wasteful?
TREY:I just saw a meme actually this week.
TREY:Hilariously Of, you know, those like, um, I think of them as being in like beach condos,
TREY:the meme is like, one of them is a CVS receipt.
TREY:like fixed my broken blinds, like so funny to me.
TREY:Good job.
TREY:That's a really good, really good complaint.
TREY:I think that we can move forward now with our heads lifted high
TREY:and our, our, our chest.
TREY:Cavity's a little higher and
TREY:lighter
TREY:Me too.
TREY:I think that we should do that.
TREY:But Chelsey for those people who don't speak Yiddish what does that word mean?
TREY:Oy Gavelt Hm That's right every now and then Chelsey and I will bring in a one star review as
TREY:And then the final say it goes to us the review.
TREY:Queens We're just so sporty that way.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:Chelsey I have a handy-dandy quarter.
TREY:Um, you I'll flip it and then you call Ready
TREY:it's heads.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So that means you get to read the five star review.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:This week, we're both doing, uh, reviews from the very, very expansive website.
TREY:The knot.com.
TREY:And we're gonna each read, um, a one star and a five star review of a wedding DJ.
TREY:And the company is called Spynfo And Mr.
TREY:Matrimony, just for reference, Spynfo is spelled S P Y N F O.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:I looked him up.
TREY:He's very attractive, but neither here nor there.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:Um, all right.
TREY:yes, please take, please take attractiveness away
TREY:bias
CHELSEY:I will
TREY:Okay.
TREY:I'm gonna start with the one-star review This review is by Celeste w one star.
TREY:I reached out to DJ Spynfo and decided to caps, not utilize his services since it became apparent.
TREY:His schedule was too busy.
TREY:Once I declined to services, he reduced himself to calling me, quote, unquote, ignorant.
TREY:Now what mature man argues with a woman over declining service.
TREY:I never once attacked him first.
TREY:I never gave him a reason to call me ignorant.
TREY:Then he continued and called me a clown.
TREY:Clearly he has reached a point where he believes he can be rude and disrespectful.
TREY:All caps, shame on you for your foul language.
TREY:I think he should invest in a class for people skills.
TREY:The direction he decided to take was very unprofessional.
TREY:I saved caps all the corresponding caps, emails as proof.
TREY:I reported him to caps, KNOT K N O T this website and forwarded the emails.
TREY:Then when the name calling wasn't enough for him, he predicted I would not have a
TREY:Great is your spouse.
TREY:Furthermore NYC has plenty of talented, skilled DJs.
TREY:And with the assistance of a computer, you can get music anywhere.
TREY:She was.
TREY:fed up right.
TREY:So what do you think what's your first impression of uh this one star review from Celeste?
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:And I'm not sure if you can upload images to reviews on the knot.
TREY:I don't know if you can or not, but there is no photographic evidence.
TREY:I think if, if that had been attached, then case shut Do you think this is a valuable review?
TREY:Or do you think this information is pertinent?
TREY:It is a real, um, that's a real dig, you know, I do think it's interesting to note
TREY:They didn't even hire them and then decided to even leave a review to alert
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:I was going to say that as well.
TREY:Like when you were planning a wedding, it is outrageously, um, all involving and stressful to
CHELSEY:The
TREY:You'll remember you know, the spelling.
TREY:And there, there are a couple of, um, spelling and spelling issues here.
TREY:One, one right off the bat as my largest pet peeve with misspelling is when
TREY:When it became apparent his schedule was too busy, but she's Celeste spelled it t
TREY:There was another one I thought of when I was reading and, oh, there she's missing.
TREY:Celeste is missing a space here between spouse and furthermore, you can read, oh, there's a
TREY:You can, you can read and get the point, but I don't think that Celeste did a spellcheck pass on.
TREY:this
TREY:I'm very excited for this episode because I'm ready for the five-star and cause
TREY:Uh, so it's exactly what you're saying there.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:We're focusing on the negative one-star review right now, but um, if you were
TREY:Then, then you're not looking for the services of DJ Spynfo because they
TREY:It was a dig back, perhaps at saying, I imagine you're going to have a bad
TREY:that's so funny to call someone a clown.
TREY:Do you think?
TREY:Yes, I agree.
TREY:Do you think that, uh, Celeste is being like truthful or shady Right.
TREY:I'm trying to, I'm trying to decipher what exactly happened.
TREY:Cause Celeste is saying they reached out and then decided not to pursue
TREY:And then it turned into name calling.
TREY:I imagine that if DJ Spynfo was not available, then there's no reason to like a
TREY:Cause I'm a not available.
TREY:Like, I don't understand where I don't know how we got to that point, if it did in fact occur.
TREY:So I'm really unsure.
TREY:Celeste sort of um says both things here.
TREY:Or the first sentence says, I decided not to utilize the service since it became apparent.
TREY:His schedule was too busy, so that's not, not available just too busy.
TREY:Once I declined his services, he reduced me himself to calling me ignorant.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So that's different.
TREY:So it's not that they weren't available.
TREY:They are very busy that alarmed Celeste And so Celeste decided Celeste decided
TREY:Maybe, maybe that is how this, how we led down this track.
TREY:I don't know there's no contract, like who cares?
TREY:mean, okay.
TREY:Humor entertaining.
TREY:I mean, the clown made me laugh.
TREY:They need a joke writer.
TREY:Script doctor.
TREY:So do we care if you were Celeste's grandmother would you hang this on the fridge?
TREY:do you think No Is it w what's the impact?
TREY:Do you think this is the deal break?
TREY:That's really interesting because I don't find it to be a deal breaker to me.
TREY:I think there's some miscommunication here.
TREY:They didn't even get the services.
TREY:So to me, I would be like, okay, I'm going to, if I'm really into this DJ, then I
TREY:that comes up for me too, because there's a lot of she doth protest too much going on.
TREY:never once attacked him first.
TREY:I don't know.
TREY:I
CHELSEY:I,
TREY:it feels a little.
TREY:I don't know, possibly,
TREY:all right, Chelsey and I each have our own set of one to five crown cards and in an effort to be
TREY:We will simultaneously reveal our rating Um, yeah, I'm ready.
TREY:And Chelsey's holding up three crowns.
TREY:I just did two because it feels a little, um, individual.
TREY:to me I feel like even with the vibe conversation, perhaps Spynfo was very
TREY:I don't know why I feel that way.
TREY:I think because it's, his profile was littered with five star reviews.
TREY:And so this does sort of look like an anomaly, which is a little bit of bias outside of.
TREY:Uh, Celeste has written, I just said two cause it wasn't entertaining really and, uh,
TREY:And, um, it wouldn't stop me from reaching out.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:All right.
TREY:So first time, first time Chelsey I buried the lead here and there's actually a reply
TREY:It's in your Google drive.
CHELSEY:Oh
TREY:we are, we have a reply from the vendor.
TREY:So DJ Spynfo replied to Celeste's one-star review, and Chelsey's gonna cold-read it.
TREY:Isn't that crazy.
CHELSEY:if she
TREY:It's really Savage of, um, DJ Spynfo to literally copy paste the email with
TREY:Yeah, I also, I think that why it shifts everything for me are the
TREY:This is completely inactive.
TREY:I don't know why, but just saying these facts are inaccurate is kind of like
TREY:Emotion.
TREY:It's not like literally the vocabulary word inaccurate just sounds a very
TREY:It's not like you're whack.
TREY:What is rock?
TREY:Like he mentioned that later.
TREY:Look, the profession of being a DJ MC is charisma oozing out of every pore of
TREY:And I feel taken care of and his reply for some reason, like, I feel like
TREY:He acknowledges the inaccuracies.
TREY:Doesn't really cop up to any of the necessary accusations, but points out their point of
TREY:It's personality.
TREY:It's not just a canned, so sorry for your experience right.
TREY:It literally is like, why are you putting so much energy into this That's scary to me.
TREY:if someone threatens me with that, I would, I would be scared.
TREY:Wow.
TREY:I hear you.
TREY:All right.
TREY:So why don't we take a quick little break?
TREY:We'll come back and we'll hear a five-star side All right.
TREY:We'll take a
CHELSEY:back
TREY:Yay All right.
TREY:We're back from the break.
TREY:And now it's time Chels for you to strap in on that pony.
TREY:jump on the Meryl-Go-Round What animal am I on
TREY:a horse with wings?
TREY:I want to think of things like that.
TREY:And other things, wait, this is controversial.
TREY:But sometimes as a kid, when I would get on a carousel, I would sit on like the
TREY:Youget on carosels You get on Well, I feel very secure on my Pegesus All right.
TREY:So here we go.
TREY:Just like queen Meryl, who does it all.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So you'll go first or should I go first?
TREY:Cause you did the reply.
TREY:Let me go first.
TREY:Cause I feel like you're so good at this.
TREY:All right today, I have a one star zinger from amazon.com.
TREY:This is for the novel to kill a Mockingbird.
TREY:It's a one-star review.
TREY:The subject is liked the movie better.
TREY:And the review is wasn't that excited?
TREY:Liked the movie better.
TREY:I, am I'm ready.
TREY:Yes.
TREY:Wasn't that excited?
TREY:I liked the movie Wasn't diode excited.
TREY:A boy the movie better.
TREY:Jesus.
TREY:Wasn't that high.
TREY:I wasn't that excited.
TREY:I liked the movie better.
TREY:Thank you.
TREY:I really wanted to like honor trying to act it and I wasn't going speedy,
TREY:So I'm proud of myself.
TREY:I got five.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So now Chelsey it's your turn.
TREY:good luck.
TREY:Film noir,
TREY:opera, diva.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:1, 3, 4.
TREY:You got four.
TREY:That's good.
TREY:That was a long one, too.
TREY:feel like my televangelists was a little bit Southern, so which they're kind of
TREY:So we Thank you.
TREY:I'm curtsying.
TREY:It's the pressure.
TREY:It's the time.
TREY:time.
TREY:It's okay.
TREY:We are measured by our greatness, not by one moment in time,
TREY:Same All right.
TREY:So now we're back from that really fun game break and, uh, it's time for the flip side
TREY:that was right when we were being locked down in America.
TREY:So, the wedding was two months prior.
TREY:I love the visual of the Japanese mother and her Kimono swag.
TREY:And, you know, I appreciate that.
TREY:They point out that it's a diverse crowd, that he played a diverse amount of
TREY:Correct.
TREY:I agree.
TREY:Yeah, it seems like exactly like a perfect five star review.
TREY:Like that's exactly like they were really, really happy.
TREY:Is it an, is it entertaining or humorous?
TREY:I mean, I think the visual the
TREY:mom Mm.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:And I liked the phrase from the good to the hood and also like it's a real strong visual
TREY:Because You have to be like thoroughly the hit of the party for that to occur and for it to be
TREY:You know what I mean?
TREY:Like that's a real bolsterous life of the party, kick ass host, you know,
TREY:I guess something to me for some reason.
TREY:And I think that I'm totally leaning team DJ Spynfo Mr.
TREY:Matrimony, but I don't know.
TREY:There is something that's triggering me a little bit.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:Could this be a planted review because it's so.
TREY:It hits every feel-good button and that it leads with how diverse the crowd was,
TREY:Um, so maybe leading with that as like, maybe we are all more aware of that, but it occurs
TREY:Uh, the person being hired potentially than someone that's in
TREY:If that makes any sense, unless maybe in the, I mean, your wedding, it is suddenly
TREY:So it really is an overwhelming sense that maybe you would start to really reflect like,
TREY:If it's even valid, which is so odd.
TREY:I mean, it like makes me, but then again, I do feel like the impact here for me is like, I want,
TREY:Sorry.
TREY:I hate wedding dancing.
TREY:I hate it.
TREY:I hate it.
CHELSEY:Don't
TREY:so my bias is like the facts that like, oh, there's a jamming dance party at my wedding.
TREY:Like I would not be jealous.
TREY:I would not want to enter the room.
TREY:So, you know, but that being said.
TREY:Are you not a dancer, either at weddings.
TREY:Especially if it's a Jewish wedding and you have to do the Hora.
TREY:Oh yeah.
TREY:I it right, because I'm Southern.
TREY:Sorry.
TREY:Did you know that?
TREY:At my wedding, we had a Mazingka dance.
TREY:You know what that is.
TREY:No.
TREY:It's when the youngest child of parents is finally married off.
TREY:It's an honorary procession for the parents I love when Jews don't know what that is.
TREY:And I do.
TREY:you know that my mother-in-law broke her nose during a Hora?
CHELSEY:wedding
TREY:Not at my wedding wait, hold on.
TREY:I want to make sure that that's right.
TREY:David, David, maybe he's downstairs.
TREY:I don't know if she broke her nose or if she cut her face or, or she
TREY:Cause I know that it was.
TREY:No, I think it was her nose.
TREY:Cause she like got hit in the Maybe it shouldn't break the nose.
TREY:Maybe she got a bloody nose, whatever it's violent and horrifying.
CHELSEY:she
TREY:Did that come up?
TREY:for you I do think it's important for the listener.
TREY:The one star review was written in 2016 and this five star review was in 2020.
TREY:So I don't think that this five-star is padding in response to the one-star that's many years apart.
TREY:So, and there's many reviews between
TREY:all of them, basically.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:But going off of . LaQuwan I'm ready to crown it Okay.
TREY:Let's do it.
TREY:You got your cards.
TREY:Honestly, because it's such a slam dunk review.
TREY:It makes me a little suspect.
TREY:That's why, I mean, I think it is, there are the spelling errors, so that that's part of it too.
TREY:I wish they had done a pass with spell check, but I would need to look around and see like what
TREY:I don't know why I'm being cynical, but that's why I gave it four.
TREY:Excellent.
TREY:I I'm curious now that we've done the five-star, the one-star and the reply from the vendor.
TREY:What is your Chelsey Donn review queen?
TREY:What do you think.
TREY:I do want to just say that I have no idea who DJ Spynfo is.
TREY:Neither does Chelsey It's totally a random, we are not an ad.
TREY:We don't know them.
TREY:I looked up.
TREY:Their website and he has a video reel.
TREY:I mean, he, it looks like a great hire.
TREY:I mean, to me, I was like, oh, I would totally want to hire this person.
TREY:And he's also very attractive as I've said before.
TREY:I wonder if that's sort of in the mix here with Celeste.
TREY:I don't know.
TREY:I'm making that up.
TREY:I'm putting it into the mix, but we I'll never know exactly what
TREY:And that just is really highlighting why reviews can be really tricky and why you
TREY:Where you should fall.
TREY:And to me, and I agree with Chelsey here, I think that because Celeste stands
TREY:I don't know.
TREY:It just feels, I think, um, I feel badly that that exists on DJ Spynfo's theknot.com
TREY:And if you listeners like this idea of doing one and a five, leave us a review
TREY:You can leave us a voicemail.
TREY:So we know if we should move forward with more of these one and fives.
TREY:Awesome.
TREY:So as we reached the end of today's episode Chels have you got any personal reviews for your week?
