Chelsey:I do think that there's something with Jesus and 420,
Trey:What do you mean?
Chelsey:his birthday or something, I got to look this up.
Trey:Wait, what?
Trey:Like Jesus Christ.
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:I mean says the Jew, but yes, there's like something.
Chelsey:Oh God.
Chelsey:Don't come at me.
Chelsey:Jesus lovers.
Chelsey:I, I respect everybody.
Chelsey:I don't know.
Chelsey:Happy 420.
Trey:I'm not really a marijuana partake person.
Trey:I have just for the novelty of it.
Trey:When I was in last time when I was in Los Angeles, I did go to a dispensary just because it's legal.
Trey:And so I was like, well, it's not going to be legal when I get back.
Trey:It is today, this was years ago, but I went and it was really funny because I
Trey:was like, Hey man.
Trey:And I was like, hi, um, I don't smoke, but like, I want to try this.
Trey:So like, what should I do?
Trey:And they're like, yeah, man, like calm down, you know?
Trey:And I'm like, I'm nervous.
Chelsey:oh my God.
Chelsey:That's so funny.
Chelsey:Well, somebody said 420, happy birthday.
Chelsey:Jesus.
Chelsey:I don't know where that came from, but I'm going to go.
Trey:No.
Trey:Well, Jesus, his birthday is
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:I don't know if that's true.
Chelsey:The lunar calendar, you know what I mean?
Chelsey:There's so many calendars happening anyway.
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:420 is fun.
Chelsey:Maybe I'll tell some stories on Patreon.
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:Why not?
Chelsey:My week's going well, my day is going well.
Chelsey:I like had a little bit of a kerfuffle in a parking lot that is going to
Trey:Go for a what happened?
VOICEOVER:Lodge A Complaint.
Chelsey:Actually, I shouldn't call it a kerfuffle cause that makes it seem like
Chelsey:So, you know, when you're in a parking lot, especially for a shopping center,
Chelsey:Aligned in such a way that if you do enter in the wrong direction, it is nearly
Chelsey:So it's like I was running late to an appointment, admittedly.
Chelsey:And I was pulling into the slot.
Chelsey:I did not think that I was doing anything wrong.
Chelsey:And then I realized I'm not going to be able to get into this spot because
Chelsey:But like there were people surrounding me on all sides.
Chelsey:And so I just had to, I felt like Austin Powers, you know, in that scene
Chelsey:I kept turning to everyone around me.
Chelsey:And I was like, I'm sorry.
Chelsey:I'm sorry.
Chelsey:I'm sorry.
Chelsey:I'm so sorry.
Chelsey:I'm so sorry.
Chelsey:But like, is it necessary to do that with these slanted parking spaces?
Chelsey:I don't know.
Trey:Yeah.
Trey:I don't understand the, unless it's like a very small lot.
Trey:And like they're doing that for flow of traffic.
Trey:I don't know what
Chelsey:I guess, but like, it kind of makes it worse.
Chelsey:Cause it was sort of small ish lot, but like there was a car that was pulling out that was driving
Chelsey:So I naturally of course, got out of their way and was like, oh, that's fine.
Chelsey:I'll just take a left up here.
Chelsey:But then when I went to take my turn, I was going the wrong way.
Chelsey:So maybe that car really started the whole kerfuffle, but the point is, if we can't
Chelsey:Why are we even doing this?
Trey:I have been in that situation before.
Trey:I do know what you mean.
Trey:It's like you can't get your car into it.
Trey:Cause it's the wrong way.
Trey:You just made me think of a really good complaint that I, I'm not going to.
Trey:Yeah, I'm going to write it down.
Trey:I hear you.
Trey:That is a great complaint.
Trey:I'm sorry that that happened to you.
Trey:And I'm in agreement that we should just blame that person that was in front of you.
Chelsey:it wasn't my fault.
Chelsey:Well, now that I've gotten that off my chest in real time, I've lodged my complaint.
Chelsey:I'd like to know What are you going to complain about today?
Trey:This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system.
Chelsey:Oh my God.
Chelsey:Yes.
Trey:I'm sorry that I, people so loud.
Trey:My blood boy calls when that little monthly test goes off on my cable.
Chelsey:It's very upsetting.
Trey:is 2022.
Trey:What is this test for?
Trey:Like, okay.
Trey:Maybe in the world today, like nuclear bombing is like, it's real again, but what my
Trey:Whoever is sending the test out.
Trey:Doesn't know if someone is filling in that scan-tron bubble because.
Trey:I not calling in to say, yes, you're interrupting Maury Povich.
Trey:I like, it makes me crazy.
Trey:Also today in 2022, we ha everyone has smartphones.
Trey:Like,
Chelsey:Nobody's relying on the cable television.
Trey:do you remember when Trump was in office?
Trey:And like, there was some random day where it was like, we got that little alert
Chelsey:at office Depot.
Chelsey:Everybody in there was in a total panic.
Trey:like I turned it off a long time ago.
Trey:Cause I guess I hate children, but there's also a feature on yes.
Trey:On iPhones where it's like an Amber.
Trey:alert will go to your phone.
Trey:So I feel like that is so much more effective than these emergency
Trey:I've never heard it on the radio, but in researching this complaint,
Trey:So, but I've never heard it on a
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:I don't think I've ever heard it on the radio either.
Chelsey:I mean, it is a little terrifying.
Chelsey:It's kind of like, you know, the fire drill in when you're a kid, it's like, you hope
Trey:Well, fema.gov says that the emergency alert system is a national public warning system
Trey:So I guess it.
Trey:would be like breaking
Chelsey:It will be like, stand by present is coming
Trey:my question.
Trey:Like I'm not against having the alerts like so that the president can get to us.
Trey:I think it's a little outdated.
Trey:I understand.
Trey:Not everyone has a smartphone, but I feel like more people have
Chelsey:I don't know the stats on that.
Trey:I mean, I feel like young children, like kids in college, aren't
Chelsey:but maybe this is for the old people.
Chelsey:Sorry, old people.
Trey:My complaint is like, how are you verifying that?
Trey:It's going through to my television?
Trey:Like, why am I being subjected to the test without being able to alert you of the result?
Chelsey:there's gotta be some way that they know.
Chelsey:Otherwise.
Chelsey:I agree.
Chelsey:It would be completely useless.
Chelsey:A test for whom
Trey:I'm really sorry for how loud that was.
Trey:Like, it really hurt you.
Trey:I saw,
Trey:I
Chelsey:dead.
Chelsey:It's okay.
Chelsey:It's okay.
Trey:Right
Chelsey:I just had to take the headphones off or it's like,
Trey:but I was so committed to the bed.
Trey:I didn't acknowledge it.
Chelsey:It's okay.
Trey:I'm sorry.
Chelsey:I hear you.
Chelsey:It is really jarring.
Trey:I feel bad.
Trey:I'm sorry.
Chelsey:No, it's the high-end.
Chelsey:I hate it too.
Chelsey:I leave the Amber alerts on why?
Chelsey:Because I want to be a good Samaritan, I guess.
Chelsey:I don't know, like God forbid I should be the one that like, you know, sees it.
Chelsey:And then I want to know that I would be the first to call and of course I
Trey:Did you ever get lost in a department store as a kid and have to like go
Chelsey:absolutely.
Chelsey:kidding?
Chelsey:My mom claims one time we were at a grocery store and she says, now I don't,
Chelsey:She says that I ran away from her and then I ran to the person like hysterically
Chelsey:And they called her over the loudspeaker.
Chelsey:And she was like, why didn't you run away from me?
Chelsey:You know?
Chelsey:Like, I, I don't know why I would've done.
Chelsey:Have you ever gone up to somebody
Trey:Yeah.
Chelsey:that they were your mother or father?
Trey:Literally, as you were asking that I would speak, I need to make
Chelsey:my God.
Trey:have, it's probably one of the most mortifying I get.
Trey:When I think about it, my skin is flashing in my eyes are tearing.
Trey:It was the most.
Trey:That's probably it like an elementary school where I'll tell this story on the after show.
Trey:Oh, but yes, I grabbed the,
Chelsey:Oh no.
Chelsey:I was walking on the, I was walking on the boardwalk, um, in Atlanta
Chelsey:That's weird.
Chelsey:Okay.
Chelsey:I'll tell mine.
Chelsey:And after show tale,
Trey:Wait.
Trey:that's
Trey:so weird.
Trey:Chelsey.
Chelsey:too many distractions.
Chelsey:There's like the ocean or.
Trey:That's what's probably what it is and the fishing and
Chelsey:Yeah, exactly.
Chelsey:There's just like stuff around.
Chelsey:Oh my God.
Chelsey:That's hilarious.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:that was a lot.
Trey:Wow.
Trey:I'm like, I feel like my skin is vibrating a lot.
Trey:of higher frequency now.
Trey:Alright, well, Chelsey, do you want to get into some online reviews with this energy?
Chelsey:I absolutely beeping do know.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:As you all know, we are your trustee Review!
Chelsey:Queens.
Chelsey:We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected.
Chelsey:What?
Trey:I just keep getting a visual of you taking the headphones off.
Trey:And I like, it's funny, but I also feel really guilty,
Chelsey:all right, let it
Trey:was so loud.
Chelsey:Let it go, Elsa.
Trey:Thank you.
Chelsey:You're welcome.
Trey:All right.
Trey:Yeah.
Trey:So as Chelsey was saying, we will read you the Review!
Trey:break it down and rate the, we will.
Trey:Okay.
Trey:We will read you the Review!
Trey:break it down and rate the impact of the review on a scale from zero to five crowns.
Trey:It's a very Regal process that we call
VOICEOVER:Assess That Kvetch
Trey:and Chelsey girl, you are first on today's episode.
Trey:Take it away, Queen.
Chelsey:I can't wait.
Chelsey:I can't wait.
Chelsey:I'm sorry.
Chelsey:I'm excited.
Chelsey:I'm excited.
Chelsey:Yay.
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Chelsey:I think it's like apropos that we have extra giggles today.
Chelsey:Can if considering it's 420,
Trey:Right.
Trey:Good point.
Chelsey:which is nothing new for us.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:So this Review!
Chelsey:is written by VIN T
Trey:Like the size of Starbucks.
Chelsey:oh yeah.
Chelsey:Good point.
Chelsey:Binti so this was written by Vinti.
Chelsey:It is a two-star review on Yelp for the Temecula valley balloon and wine festival.
Chelsey:All right, here we go.
Chelsey:The Temecula valley balloon and wine festival is held every year during the first weekend of June.
The Romans, like to say:'in vino veritas.' Which translates to: in wine, there is truth.
The Romans, like to say:Whereas Bo and Duke, like to say, 'yeehaw, let's go get us a beerita!'
Trey:What?!.
Chelsey:So what happens at some random desert spot?
Chelsey:When you gather a bevy of hot balloons, airships, eighties rockers, Daisy Dukes, wine snobs,
Chelsey:like the porta potty drains tanks, you end up with something that doesn't mix really well.
Chelsey:That's not to say you can't find some good here.
Chelsey:The balloon glow, when the air ships ignite their burners in unison, while a loft is
Chelsey:But I would invest your $50 per ticket with the real balloon festival in
Chelsey:As the Roman say X Neely, O G is ex Nilo Neal fit, which means nothing comes from nothing.
Chelsey:Pro Tip.
Chelsey:It's important to spell check your tattoo!
Chelsey:About me.
Chelsey:Latin scholar?
Chelsey:Yes.
Chelsey:Daisy duke fan?
Chelsey:Yes.
Chelsey:Dukes of Hazzard fan Not so much.
Trey:Wow.
Trey:Well, I'm glad that van at the end explained why they referenced what the
Trey:Wait, what's the difference between Dukes of hazard and Daisy duke?
Trey:I thought Daisy duke was a character on the Dukes of hazard,
Chelsey:I always thought of Daisy Dukes as like, like the shorts, right?
Chelsey:Like the actual clothing and then Dukes of hazard.
Chelsey:Isn't that?
Chelsey:A movie
Trey:I believe it was a
Chelsey:or TV show.
Trey:And then yes, it became a thump, but they're like the hot girl on that.
Trey:Like Jessica Simpson and the movie played Daisy
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:That's who I think of.
Chelsey:I think of Jessica Simpson in the short for.
Trey:which for.
Trey:some reason always makes me think of that Paris Hilton Hardee's commercial,
Chelsey:Oh, yeah, awkward.
Trey:I don't know why, wait, what's the third thing he signs off with,
Chelsey:It says Dukes of Hazzard fan boy, not so much.
Trey:I guess I'm just, why does he keep talking about I don't get it or is he
Trey:Something.
Chelsey:I think that is what he's saying, because he also brings up the whole,
Chelsey:I think that the point that Vinti is getting at is like the Temecula, as far as I've
Chelsey:And I guess this moment, whenever this festival is, is very like, Aw, you know,
Chelsey:Like we have.
Chelsey:These beautiful vineyards, you know, all around and this striking glow of
Chelsey:And then I think we're venti is where we're losing.
Chelsey:Venti is the funnel cake, you know, corn dog, hot fat mysteries, and misspelled tattoos of it all.
Trey:I mean, it is interesting when you think about it, cause it is sort of mixing high and low.
Trey:Like I do think of like a carnival,
Chelsey:Rita fit into a wine festival?
Trey:like the port-a-potty analogy, I guess, you know, it is funny to me to consider
Trey:And then the Romans as the
Chelsey:I guess, yeah.
Chelsey:In vinos
Trey:each other for entertainment.
Trey:I mean, it sounds to me like, then.
Chelsey:Latins, scholarly.
Trey:A little too, his hat, I suppose.
Trey:But, but I do, I would say it is unique information because when you said the
Trey:lovely.
Trey:But now we're hearing this Review!
Trey:I am getting like, this is a very odd mixing of things that don't necessarily
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:I think it's valuable in the sense of the name of the event itself really
Chelsey:And I mean, I'm not going to lie, like I'm not above,a funnel cake moment.
Trey:Of course.
Chelsey:I love like I'm, I'm not above the class of at all, but I do think it's
Chelsey:Like most of the time, if you think of a wine festival, you think it's going to be
Chelsey:Right?
Trey:Um,
Chelsey:I just picture like a bunch of those things from Starbucks that are like
Trey:I definitely think of a charcuterie board, but I also don't, I don't think
Trey:I think of it as like a chic dinner party.
Trey:I would never want a red wine at like noon on the first weekend of June looking up at balloons.
Chelsey:not a red wine and an adult.
Chelsey:I'm a, I'm a white, well, I'm a Sauvignon Blanc specific kind of girl.
Chelsey:And I feel like you can definitely have a nice crisp white wine with lunch
Trey:I think of St.
Trey:Korea, if it's going
Chelsey:or a sangria or, yeah, I don't, the time of day doesn't particularly bother me.
Trey:I guess you are in wine country.
Trey:So like you are going to be partaking in wine
Chelsey:Yeah, we do like wine tours during the day and Temecula and stuff like that.
Chelsey:Okay.
Chelsey:I forgot to mention that venti is an elite reviewer, which again, I think sort of
Chelsey:What do we think of the attitude here?
Chelsey:What do we think of the shade?
Trey:Why have a question?
Trey:Does it, we don't know where then is from
Chelsey:Lynn's from Carlsbad, which is near San Diego.
Trey:no, it, well, so I guess to me, as someone who born and raised in the
Trey:If they're not Southern, I don't think that's fair.
Trey:I think it's A little out of touch.
Chelsey:Yeah, I agree.
Trey:So there, there is a sense of like screwing you.
Trey:Yeah.
Trey:Southern people are, can be tacky and sure.
Trey:There's like a stereotype about Southern people and you know, but like, why are you like
Chelsey:And also some of us love it.
Chelsey:And I sort of wished that there was a little room for that.
Chelsey:Like we've heard other reviews before where they're like, not my cup of
Chelsey:Whereas this, whereas this is feeling judgy in a way that's
Trey:very judgmental.
Chelsey:the whole thing, go to go to the San Diego bay wine and food festival
Trey:I'm glad you brought that up.
Trey:Cause I literally thought, like, why are you suggesting something that's
Trey:This is like a summer early summer festival here in
Chelsey:And like, can we give,
Trey:suggesting something and
Chelsey:can we give to macula, like their moment?
Trey:yeah, it does seem to me like then.
Trey:Has a very specific pompous point of view about what an elegant wine festival should be
Trey:But to me mixing the conceit of like a fair or a daytime festival with like fried
Trey:Like you can bring your kids, they can do all that.
Trey:Silly like fried Oreo stuff and you can have wine.
Trey:Like the mixing is feels disjointed, but it also feels purposeful.
Chelsey:I agree also, like I do think that the family.
Chelsey:Matches my memory of Temecula.
Trey:The beer Rita thing is odd because beer and margaritas have nothing to do with
Trey:Have you ever had a.
Trey:Like there was a, there's a place in Manhattan called Blockheads and they put an upside
Chelsey:I mean, I'm not a big beer person in general.
Chelsey:I do like a margarita, so I would just have my margarita as the mark minus the beer.
Trey:Okay.
Trey:So tell me about this spelling situation.
Trey:Cause it seems like, or the grammar
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:I mean, I think spelling and grammar checks out, there were a few sentences
Trey:and the anxiety of seeing.
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:And the anxiety of seeing Latin.
Chelsey:I think if I were just reading this, Review!
Chelsey:not allowed on a podcast.
Chelsey:I would probably just skip that.
Chelsey:Like, I don't even think I would, like when I first saw the Review!, I was
Chelsey:That I'm going to have to say on the show, but I just thought, I mean, You can't really
Trey:Okay, well here let's get to the actual nuts and bolts.
Trey:Like, what is the point?
Trey:What's the point of this interview?
Trey:Do you think that this is a common experience of people go into this festival?
Trey:Or do you think that then a sort of an, a fluke minority here?
Chelsey:I think it's a, it's a little bit hard.
Chelsey:Cause I'm, you know, by the way that they're describing it and they set up right
Chelsey:So I think you can expect that.
Chelsey:But your response to that very well may not be the response that VIN T is having.
Chelsey:Does that mean.
Trey:Yeah,
Trey:I mean, I, I do kind of feel like.
Trey:I think that this really got under then's scan, unless maybe they're just an elite and
Trey:But like, it does seem like if you're going to a daytime festival of like hot air balloons
Trey:Of lots of different kinds of people.
Trey:Like if you're not used to dealing or being surrounded by people that are different
Chelsey:If you can't hang with the commoners then.
Chelsey:Yeah, exactly.
Chelsey:Maybe, maybe you're the odd man out.
Trey:Yeah, I mean, I feel like I can like put this in like a colander and sort of
Chelsey:That's a great way of putting it because like we find out that it's
Trey:and it is interesting to know, like you're gonna, like, you're going
Trey:So have that expectation.
Trey:And I do think the whole redneck stuff is as an attempt at humor, more than
Trey:But I think I can, I think I could crown venti makes me want to Vinci
Chelsey:I know, I think I can ground them too.
Chelsey:I just have one question.
Chelsey:What do we think that w like the final shade before the obviously protect that it's important
Chelsey:What do you think that that means?
Trey:I mean before we got to the end, when they say they're a scholar, it felt to me like
Chelsey:Yeah.
Trey:I don't know.
Trey:I don't, I don't know.
Trey:I have no idea
Chelsey:Cause I don't think that that is a concluding statement really adds up to anything.
Chelsey:Cause I think it's like nothing comes from nothing.
Chelsey:Doesn't really make sense.
Chelsey:Like it's like everything.
Chelsey:Add the up to nothing.
Chelsey:Maybe.
Chelsey:I don't know.
Chelsey:Anyway, too much time is spent on venti.
Chelsey:Let's crown him.
Trey:All right, here we go.
Trey:So Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown carts and an effort
Trey:We will simultaneously reveal our.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
VOICEOVER:Total Score.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:Trey is holding up two crowns.
Chelsey:I'm holding up two and a half grounds.
Chelsey:Trey, let us know why two crowns preventing.
Trey:I think after shifting my little colander, I'm realizing there's base level information here.
Trey:I was really distracted.
Trey:I had to do a lot of self work on myself to get through the weeds of like the bad humor about
Trey:The Dukes of Hazzard type people.
Trey:And I don't know, I just think like it's a festival get over yourself.
Trey:Like, why are you being so pompous about a festival that King's festival?
Trey:Um, so for that reason I gave it to cause I don't, whatever, it was just get a glass of wine.
Trey:Okay.
Trey:And enjoy the hot air balloons.
Trey:Chelsey, why did you say two and a half?
Chelsey:I was really torn between two and two and a half.
Chelsey:I agree with everything that you're saying, I think that there was
Chelsey:That really was a turn off for me.
Chelsey:But like you said, it was actually your colander point.
Chelsey:Pushed me up that extra half crown, because I do know it's going to be $50 a ticket.
Chelsey:I do know that I definitely am getting a sense of the vibe that I can anticipate.
Chelsey:It's two crowns, not one.
Chelsey:So I think they're, they are leaving a little bit of room, uh, for their interpretation
Chelsey:So that was why I went with two and a half pounds for vintage.
Trey:All right.
Trey:Good job.
Trey:Let's go to some macula.
Chelsey:Yes, let's do it.
Chelsey:Please.
Chelsey:I'd love to go.
Trey:All right.
Trey:Well, Let's take a quick little break before we head to Temecula in real life.
Trey:And when we come back, we can get into my Review!.
Chelsey:Let's do it.
Chelsey:I account wait, BRB.
VOICEOVER:We'll be right back.
Trey:It's One-Star-Zinger time Chelsey let's strap ourselves in, take
Trey:' VOICEOVER: I don't feel like an icon.
Trey:Most of the days,
Chelsey:All right, Trey and I have each picked a rotten scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger and
Trey:Just like queen Meryl, who does it?
Chelsey:before the clock runs out.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:Try.
Chelsey:Where is your One-Star-Zinger from today?
Trey:This week, I have a one-star review from amazon.com written by good old Amazon customer
Chelsey:she's back.
Trey:the DVD of the 1965 live television production of Cinderella,
Chelsey:Is this the Brandy one?
Chelsey:Wait, what year is this?
Trey:1965.
Chelsey:Oh,
Trey:And I also said starring Leslie Ann Warren.
Chelsey:yes.
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:See, I feel like it's just 420 it's Vegas
Chelsey:I know you're right.
Chelsey:It is it's it's in the air.
Trey:All right.
Trey:So Amazon customers, one star review subject is One Star.
Trey:And the Review is grandkids wanted the cartoon version.
Chelsey:Oh, my God, Amazon customer.
Chelsey:Well, if grandkids wanted the cartoon version, then maybe you should have paid
Trey:Exactly.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:I'm gonna into a pumpkin thing that Cinderella rides and with what.
Trey:thought you were going to strap me to Brandy.
Chelsey:I have such amazing nostalgia for the Brandy version.
Chelsey:Like that is my preferred Cinderella.
Chelsey:So I just, well, as soon as anyone says that I automatically picture Brandy in my head.
Chelsey:So I think I just stopped listening.
Trey:You did
Chelsey:No, I'm going to put you in the pumpkin, you know, with your fairy
Chelsey:Don't lose your shoes again, please.
Trey:it's possible.
Chelsey:Things are happening at every day is
Trey:It's all right.
Chelsey:I thought it was impossible, impossible,
Trey:Yeah, but then she's saying it is

Trey:Okay.
Trey:So I have a very interesting show departure review today.
Chelsey:Oh, wow.
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:this was sent to us by a listener.
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:Unfortunately, I don't remember.
Trey:I should've made a note and I didn't, I also have another Review That I've yet
Trey:I did make A'.
Trey:Facebook status months ago and the only person to like it was Chelsey.
Trey:Um, okay.
Trey:So this is a Instagram comment Review!
Trey:of
Chelsey:Wait, what?
Trey:the shop nasty gal.
Trey:Left in the comment section of nasty gal's Instagram account.
Chelsey:Copy.
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:So this is by an Instagram user named Bella B for nasty gal.
Trey:And here is Bella B's Review!
Trey:and I'm just going to save my voice.
Trey:This entire Review!
Trey:is written in all caps.
Trey:If you actually want to receive your orders, I do not suggest ordering anything from at nasty gal.
Trey:I ordered two items on November 15th and FedEx has yet to receive the items as of November 25th.
Trey:After them telling me all week, my delivery day was today.
Trey:Whole time there's been no delivery date.
Trey:Fed ex gets to my house around 10:00 AM.
Trey:10:00 AM has came and went.
Trey:And now nothing I inquired today and at nasty gal is telling ne I have to wait until December 16th.
Trey:Now on a day when I should be celebrating, I am wasting an hour of my day trying to
Trey:money, I did not have to spend had at nasty gal, not had such a trifling shipping procedure.
Trey:I will never, ever, ever order from here again.
Trey:And if you go look in their comments, you can see others having the same issue.
Trey:Hashtag bad business hashtag do not shop here.
Trey:Hashtag bad reviews, hashtag bad rating.
Trey:Hashtag stay away.
Trey:Hashtag never shop hashtag nasty gals do it better.
Chelsey:Wait, what nasty girls do it better?
Chelsey:I mean, not in this case.
Trey:Maybe Bella B did that on purpose.
Trey:Cause maybe that's their like their shops.
Chelsey:Or maybe they're like nasty girls do it better.
Trey:have you ever heard of nasty gal?
Chelsey:I've heard of nasty gal because I was obsessed with a show on Netflix called girl boss.
Chelsey:That's all about the founder of nasty gal.
Trey:Oh, so you've never shopped at nasty gal.
Chelsey:no.
Chelsey:Have you,
Trey:I've been to the one that's in west Hollywood.
Trey:It's right.
Trey:Where that,
Chelsey:like stores now because it used to be like an E-bay type thing.
Trey:Oh
Trey:no, it's like a shop.
Chelsey:Oh
Trey:There's one.
Trey:I don't know how many there are there's one, right by that.
Trey:Alfred's, you know where that diamond is on.
Chelsey:yeah.
Trey:It's right.
Trey:We went to Alfred's and then, cause my niece wanted to go to go there,
Chelsey:Oh, interesting.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:So I, you know what I find very interesting.
Chelsey:Anecdotally, does the FedEx person come to your house at the same time?
Chelsey:Every time?
Trey:I don't know.
Chelsey:I don't think I'd ever be able to say it's 10 0 1 and had the FedEx guy, you know,
Chelsey:He would have been here already by 10:00 AM.
Chelsey:You know what I mean?
Chelsey:Like, I don't think I have that kind of, I've had packages delivered in the
Trey:also it's been 10 days.
Trey:Like they ordered the items on the 15th and now it's the 25th.
Trey:So it's been 10 days.
Trey:I mean I guess I feel like most standard shipping is like,
Chelsey:I mean that's a lot of time.
Chelsey:I mean, for it to ultimately be taking over a month is, is infuriating
Trey:Yeah.
Trey:So I do think taking a month is exceptionally long, but the fact that it's only been 10 days and
Trey:Yeah, it would have, I don't know that I would go to Instagram.
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:I think Instagram is a very interesting forum to go to.
Chelsey:I've known people to go to Twitter,
Trey:Yes,
Chelsey:I think going to the Instagram comments, it just makes me wonder how likely is it
Chelsey:What are they commenting on in the first place?
Chelsey:Right?
Chelsey:Like, how is this comment analogous to the post itself?
Trey:So it is just on a random photo.
Trey:And, but I actually think it's an interesting place to go because all of
Trey:I will deem you privately.
Trey:We'll take care of this immediately.
Chelsey:Yeah, but I feel like that's because okay.
Chelsey:If.
Chelsey:Was like at Delta, you messed up whatever.
Chelsey:And I like wrote something really mean about Delta.
Chelsey:Then if I went on to Twitter and I searched the word Delta, it is possible that your Review!
Chelsey:rather your tweet might come up.
Chelsey:So like now this is directly associated with your company at very least in the mentions.
Chelsey:So I feel like.
Chelsey:Make sense to me that if you're going to, I'm going to put you on blast on Twitter.
Chelsey:This, I feel like it's so easy to get lost in the comments.
Chelsey:We're a little bit wasting our breath in this forum.
Chelsey:I think don't you,
Trey:You know, now that you,
Trey:say that that sort of shift my opinion here.
Trey:Cause I thought this is like really clever and smart way to go about getting
Trey:But I am starting to think like
Chelsey:does it show you if anybody's like liked it or reply?
Trey:So this was sent to us two hours after the person wrote it.
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:And there's no, there's no attention on it,
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:but I don't remember when this was sent to me, but oh, November
Chelsey:Okay.
Chelsey:Yeah.
Chelsey:So doesn't really seem like it's garnering much attention.
Trey:But nasty gal's Instagram account is verified.
Trey:They have 10,000 posts and they have 4.8 million followers.
Trey:So I do imagine that there is a social media team, and I do imagine that they are
Trey:So I do think that this could get lost very easily and 50 50.
Trey:I do think maybe the social media team would find this and, you know, choose how to engage.
Chelsey:I just think it's a little bit hard for me to assess the impact here, you know,
Chelsey:I just don't know that the audience that's meant to see this Review!
Chelsey:and learn from this interaction is going to actually, learn from this interaction.
Chelsey:So.
Trey:Well, I think that's an interesting point because the whole Twitter thing
Trey:Don't shop here.
Trey:I don't think that going to these platforms is to help other people.
Trey:I think it is only to get your situation addressed, which I don't really have a
Trey:I think there's less longevity in the impact on Instagram specifically,
Chelsey:And who knows, like maybe Bella B then went on to like write a Trustpilot review,
Trey:right?
Chelsey:grade it as if Bella has only written this Review!
Chelsey:as an Instagram comment, unfortunately, for, for maybe my assessment of Bella.
Trey:so like the spelling and grammar is terrible because it's basically, there
Chelsey:Oh, you said all caps lock.
Trey:there is nothing that is lowercase except for at nasty gal and then all of the hashtags.
Trey:So spelling grammars, it's literally just a rant.
Trey:I mean,
Chelsey:And presumably their caps lock button.
Chelsey:Wasn't stuck.
Chelsey:Then if they were able to ride the cash tags and.
Trey:Right.
Trey:It's definitely a stylistic choice.
Trey:I just can't tell if this is like common or fluky.
Trey:Like, I don't think that any business could survive if, if they always
Trey:So it does make me think like something happened.
Trey:For the specific order.
Trey:Also the whole like emotion about I'm supposed to be celebrating today because I have all
Chelsey:don't
Trey:sort of like,
Chelsey:You think that Bella is in the red hat society or whatever it is.
Chelsey:Like those people that wear the purple dresses and the red hats.
Chelsey:And she's very
Trey:no, this is like literally a 19 or 20 year old.
Chelsey:Okay.
Trey:I can see her picture.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:So it's not, so I was a little confused with that section, right?
Chelsey:So all of this is happening over a hat.
Trey:Wait.
Trey:It's really funny to me
Chelsey:Are they wearing a
Trey:to imagine a red hat?
Trey:society, lady shopping at nasty gal
Chelsey:Oh my God.
Trey:purple boa.
Chelsey:exactly.
Chelsey:Exactly.
Chelsey:So why do we need a hat?
Trey:Uh, a hat?
Chelsey:Why
Trey:a hat.
Chelsey:was it not a hat?
Chelsey:You said
Trey:No.
Chelsey:I wrote down hat.
Trey:Oh, because that's a type of, I say, trying to figure out what E H a T, instead
Trey:So I said he hat
Chelsey:Oh, I thought they were saying, trying to figure out what hat to wear.
Trey:to wear.
Chelsey:And I was like, why are you so upset about what I had to wear?
Chelsey:Oh, it's not a hat.
Chelsey:Okay.
Chelsey:Oh,
Trey:it's a
Chelsey:really changes everything.
Chelsey:All right.
Chelsey:So, all right, fine.
Chelsey:So it's not a hat.
Chelsey:Where does the $250 come in?
Trey:Because it seems that Bella B is presenting the case.
Trey:So they purchased a bunch of options to, for what to wear.
Trey:And aren't able to select powerfully because this item hasn't come.
Trey:So now they don't have the, all the options
Chelsey:Oh, Jesus Christ.
Trey:so now they're effect, um, they've been victimized by FedEx is shipping delay.
Chelsey:All right, so, so here's the, so this is the scenario.
Chelsey:Bella Baby, has purchased $250 worth of options of whatever item this is.
Chelsey:Let's say it's a hat.
Chelsey:So $250 worth of hats.
Chelsey:So then we have five of our options, but the one option that we order from nasty gal is
Chelsey:So we're very angry, even though we have five other options,
Trey:I think I'm sort of making that up.
Trey:I don't know if the options are only from nasty gal or if the options are from nasty gal forever
Trey:I don't know.
Chelsey:I don't know that store, but yes, to the others.
Chelsey:Okay.
Chelsey:I think that what we're getting at, yes.
Chelsey:I understand that you're upset because your item was delayed.
Chelsey:We've all been there.
Chelsey:I hate it.
Trey:Yeah, it's The worst?
Chelsey:frustration of that is not lost on me.
Chelsey:And, and I've definitely been there.
Chelsey:So Bella B feel you on that where I'm losing Bella B is I'm a little bit lost in the emotion
Chelsey:Right now, I think if we do order an item, we expect it within a reasonable
Chelsey:of.
Chelsey:Immediacy.
Chelsey:Like I need this right now.
Chelsey:Like th this is, this is a
Trey:time-sensitive, hat.
Chelsey:I can understand that that's frustrating.
Chelsey:Like this was my first choice.
Chelsey:And now I had to go to a store and buy other things that I didn't really want to wear, but
Trey:It does seem like maybe Bella be left out that there is something to be celebrating
Chelsey:What are they celebrating?
Trey:there was an event or are you just highlighting, like you were
Chelsey:Right.
Chelsey:And like, your happiness is like when the FedEx man comes at 10:00 AM with a package,
Chelsey:I don't think we use it enough.
Chelsey:I only know it really from bills, bills, bills.
Trey:Yes.
Chelsey:I wonder what happened after this comment was left?
Chelsey:I guess that's like what I'm left wondering because squeaky wheel, as
Trey:since we will never know the outcome.
Trey:What is the impact for you with this?
Trey:Keep you from going into the store or would this keep you from ordering it delivery?
Chelsey:Again, assuming that I was thinking about buying, I mean, there's a lot of assumption here.
Chelsey:I was thinking about buying a product.
Chelsey:So I decided to check out their Instagram page.
Chelsey:I landed on this particular post.
Chelsey:I scroll down to the thing and I read this.
Chelsey:If all of those things happened, would I then not order from them?
Chelsey:I don't know.
Chelsey:I think I just wouldn't order anything that was super time sensitive, nasty.
Chelsey:I'll definitely flubbed up.
Chelsey:But I just don't know how effective this is, but I think I'm ready to crown Balla B.
Trey:Yeah, me too.
Trey:I'm racking my brain here, but let's go ahead and crown let's do up.
VOICEOVER:These are tabulating.
Chelsey:All right, I'm holding up one and a half crowns Treys holding up two crowns.
Chelsey:I'll go first.
Chelsey:I'm holding up one and a half crowns because I feel you, Bella B, there is a lot of
Chelsey:I've been there.
Chelsey:I just don't know that your voice is going to be heard.
Chelsey:Here.
Chelsey:And I don't know that you're reaching an audience that could then benefit from your
Chelsey:Wasn't great.
Chelsey:And you held the caps lock.
Chelsey:And so for those reasons, I did have to give you one and a half crowns, unfortunately, but
Chelsey:Why, why two crowns from you?
Chelsey:Trey.
Trey:I gave two crowns because I like the ingenuity.
Trey:Trying Instagram, but I don't know when I am scrolling social media
Trey:I instantly ignore it because I just don't have time.
Chelsey:me too.
Trey:there's so much craziness that goes on in the comments, but I appreciate that
Trey:And I have been there and I feel that, but ultimately I'm not sure that this
Chelsey:As yes, as, as you frequently do.
Trey:I love their hats.
Chelsey:I love their hats as well.
Trey:So two crowns for an elevator.
Trey:All right, queen, we have reached the most Regal portion of our show.
Trey:Chelsey.
Trey:Who are you going to induct this week for?
Chelsey:I'm going to specify it to mine, but I'm going to open it up to all.
Chelsey:So my nest thermostat.
Chelsey:Really all the nest thermostats, it's really just changed my life.
Chelsey:If you don't know what a nest thermostat is, it is a luxury that allows you to change the
Chelsey:So let's say it was like a hundred degrees outside and you were driving home and you're
Chelsey:You could literally turn your air conditioner on from your car in that moment
Chelsey:I mean, what a luxury, my life has been changed.
Chelsey:I'm lazier.
Chelsey:But I am more comfortable.
Chelsey:And so for that reason, I wanted to induct nest thermostats as My Royal Highness.
Chelsey:And I don't know if they're still yes.
Chelsey:And I don't know if they're still doing this, but when we got our nest thermostat, we
