CHELSEY: 00:00:30

Hello?

TREY: 00:00:31

Hi.

TREY: 00:00:31

Hi, welcome to Review That Review, the podcast dedicated to reviewing...

CHELSEY: 00:00:37

...reviews!

CHELSEY: 00:00:38

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

TREY: 00:00:48

And that's Chelsey Donn

CHELSEY: 00:00:49

and that's Trey Gerrald.

TREY: 00:00:51

And when we come together, we form

VOICEOVER: 00:00:54

The Review Queens.

CHELSEY: 00:00:58

How's your crown today, Trey?

TREY: 00:01:00

My crown is great today.

TREY: 00:01:02

It's feeling very pointy and spiky.

TREY: 00:01:04

It's a Monday and a little peek behind the curtain.

TREY: 00:01:07

Uh, we're recording episode five right now.

TREY: 00:01:13

We are launching the podcast on Wednesday.

TREY: 00:01:17

So we have less than 48 hours before it's launched into the world.

TREY: 00:01:22

So it's a very exciting time and busy time, but yeah, I'm doing great.

TREY: 00:01:26

How are you?

CHELSEY: 00:01:27

I'm doing great.

CHELSEY: 00:01:29

I just came from oh, a weekend in Ojai.

CHELSEY: 00:01:32

And I am just, you know, more spiritual and relaxed than ever.

CHELSEY: 00:01:36

So I feel good.

TREY: 00:01:38

Wait, so what's Ojai?

TREY: 00:01:40

Explain it to me.

TREY: 00:01:40

I don't really know.

CHELSEY: 00:01:41

Oh, Ojai is a part of town outside of LA.

CHELSEY: 00:01:46

It's like not very far, it's about an hour and a half or so away, and

CHELSEY: 00:01:53

You go there and you just want to be a better person and take in nature and look

CHELSEY: 00:02:06

And it just makes all the trivial things that we deal with every day in life that get us down.

CHELSEY: 00:02:12

It just makes it seem insignificant when compared to the beautiful, vast nature of Ojai.

CHELSEY: 00:02:17

So I highly recommend it

TREY: 00:02:18

That sounds beautiful.

TREY: 00:02:19

Was there, um, any specific reasons...that you were on a trip over the weekend?

CHELSEY: 00:02:25

There might be a reason...

CHELSEY: 00:02:27

it was my birthday, or, it is my birthday tomorrow in real time.

CHELSEY: 00:02:33

So I was going for my birthday.

TREY: 00:02:35

Oh my gosh.

TREY: 00:02:35

So when you're hearing this listeners, uh, her birthday was two weeks ago

CHELSEY: 00:02:40

No!

CHELSEY: 00:02:41

When you're oh, yes.

CHELSEY: 00:02:42

I guess when you're hearing this...

CHELSEY: 00:02:44

It's true.

CHELSEY: 00:02:44

My birthday is June 22nd, which happens to be the same birthday as Meryl Streep, which

TREY: 00:02:54

Well, my, I share a birthday March 14th with, um, an Instagram

TREY: 00:03:00

I saw that today, but also Albert Einstein and Taylor Hanson.

CHELSEY: 00:03:04

I love that for us.

TREY: 00:03:07

Okay.

TREY: 00:03:07

This is very positive and that's wonderful.

TREY: 00:03:09

But do you have any, um, complaints you want to lodge?

CHELSEY: 00:03:13

Always.

CHELSEY: 00:03:14

I think that it's time that we...

VOICEOVER: 00:03:15

Lodge A Complaint.

CHELSEY: 00:03:17

I think....

VOICEOVER: 00:03:17

LODGE A COMPLAINT!

CHELSEY: 00:03:20

Let's Lodge A Complaint!

CHELSEY: 00:03:24

Always feels so good when we do it.

CHELSEY: 00:03:26

I'm gonna Lodge A Complaint today against bad To-Go Containers.

CHELSEY: 00:03:31

I think.

CHELSEY: 00:03:33

This is, , something that a lot of restaurant owners maybe don't pay enough attention to.

CHELSEY: 00:03:38

And also I'm wondering why certain things haven't changed.

CHELSEY: 00:03:41

For me, obviously the styrofoam, that's pretty offensive, you know, like you're just one small

CHELSEY: 00:03:54

I don't know why that's still a thing, but for me, the worst offense is, you know, those.

CHELSEY: 00:04:00

Foil ones that I'm sure they're like, so you can reheat your food.

CHELSEY: 00:04:04

Like how nice.

CHELSEY: 00:04:04

Right?

CHELSEY: 00:04:05

Like I have a little device, but I also have to like unfold, like all the way around.

CHELSEY: 00:04:10

And then if I want to like, do it again, then I have to like refold all the way down.

CHELSEY: 00:04:14

And if you get like the fold, even the littlest bit off that it's like gotta start all over again.

CHELSEY: 00:04:19

And it's maddening and I just wish.

CHELSEY: 00:04:22

I just wish someone would come out with a better To-Go container that

CHELSEY: 00:04:29

That's also not styrofoam and not terrible for the environment.

CHELSEY: 00:04:33

And I think we've been sleeping at the wheel with the, To-Go containers.

CHELSEY: 00:04:37

So whoever is out there and feel so inspired to be the inventor of the, To-Go

CHELSEY: 00:04:49

That we're all gonna love, please, please do it because it's necessary.

TREY: 00:04:54

I hear you so hard on that.

TREY: 00:04:56

And my favorite ones are the paper ones where they like fold in and you do have the little tab, like

TREY: 00:05:08

It would catch fire.

CHELSEY: 00:05:09

Right.

CHELSEY: 00:05:10

See, so it's like, we need more versatility,

TREY: 00:05:13

That's one of those tricky things about those, um, like Chinese takeout,

TREY: 00:05:20

it starts popping and you're like, oh, am I should have died?

TREY: 00:05:25

And only

CHELSEY: 00:05:25

speaking metal in the microwave is not a good thing.

TREY: 00:05:28

Never.

CHELSEY: 00:05:30

How about you?

CHELSEY: 00:05:31

Do you have a complaint you want to lodge?

TREY: 00:05:33

I do.

TREY: 00:05:34

I definitely, I have a very timely complaint that I'm lodging

VOICEOVER: 00:05:39

Lodge A Complaint.

TREY: 00:05:41

I don't know if you can see behind me, Chelsey.

TREY: 00:05:44

I you'll see this on the YouTube, I suppose, but I hung this 240 LED light

TREY: 00:05:56

It's like very Instagrammy it's like a college dorm.

TREY: 00:06:00

Attire, you know, they're just like little string lights.

CHELSEY: 00:06:03

Like Christmas lights.

TREY: 00:06:04

Yeah.

TREY: 00:06:04

They're like tinier, micro Christmas lights.

TREY: 00:06:06

Basically.

TREY: 00:06:07

I put them on this accent wall.

TREY: 00:06:09

Cause I thought, oh, this will be so cute.

TREY: 00:06:11

When I'm recording the podcast, there'll be some bright color behind me.

TREY: 00:06:14

But this wall is full of picture frames with like motivational things because I need that.

TREY: 00:06:20

So in order for the length to be correct, I had to string it underneath some of the major...

TREY: 00:06:27

here I can just show you some of the major posters.

CHELSEY: 00:06:29

Oh, that's major.

TREY: 00:06:30

I spent time doing this, I have six of those little, like, what do you call those?

TREY: 00:06:34

Those little like tape or the little, like things where you pull the tape

CHELSEY: 00:06:41

Command strips.

TREY: 00:06:42

Yeah.

TREY: 00:06:43

Command.

TREY: 00:06:43

That's right.

TREY: 00:06:44

So, okay.

TREY: 00:06:45

I have six of those.

TREY: 00:06:46

I did it.

TREY: 00:06:46

I had to reconfigure all the frames and then I put the batteries in the thing doesn't work.

TREY: 00:06:52

240 of these lights.

TREY: 00:06:55

This is from the company Brookstone, which we all love to go into a Brookstone in the mall.

TREY: 00:07:00

Um, but I guess Brookstone, I'm complaining.

TREY: 00:07:03

Don't go into this frontier of light bulbs.

TREY: 00:07:05

I think you need to stick with your massage chairs.

TREY: 00:07:08

You're like amazing flight apparatus for comfort, but leave the, leave

TREY: 00:07:17

And, uh, my, my day has been ruined.

TREY: 00:07:20

So I'm lodging a complaint against Brookstone and companies that

CHELSEY: 00:07:26

I feel I'm my, my apologies.

CHELSEY: 00:07:29

That sounds like really frustrating.

CHELSEY: 00:07:31

And I'm sorry, you had to deal with that.

CHELSEY: 00:07:33

I will say that I think in the future, If ever something like this will happen,

CHELSEY: 00:07:41

before...

TREY: 00:07:42

It was definitely a learning experience,

CHELSEY: 00:07:44

a learning experience,

TREY: 00:07:46

but it's really even more complicated than I'm even explaining because it's, um,

TREY: 00:08:00

The only way to hang out was to like, hang it appropriately and then undo it.

TREY: 00:08:04

And then you have to stretch it.

TREY: 00:08:05

Cause then they like pop out and then they get into the strings that are hanging.

TREY: 00:08:08

It's a whole thing.

CHELSEY: 00:08:09

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:08:10

I wonder if like, wasn't it, isn't that a thing with Christmas lights where like, if one

TREY: 00:08:20

Yes.

TREY: 00:08:21

And to Brookstone credit, there is like a hanging extra light bulb, but

TREY: 00:08:27

So I have no idea which one and there's 240.

TREY: 00:08:30

So I'm not going to go through individually.

TREY: 00:08:32

It's like not worth it.

TREY: 00:08:33

It was like $12.

TREY: 00:08:34

Yeah.

TREY: 00:08:35

Right.

TREY: 00:08:35

No way.

TREY: 00:08:37

Anyway.

TREY: 00:08:37

So that's my complaint.

CHELSEY: 00:08:39

I mean, complaint heard.

CHELSEY: 00:08:41

And, my apologies.

CHELSEY: 00:08:44

That sounds very, very frustrating.

CHELSEY: 00:08:46

I think we've had enough of us complaining and I think it's time for us to hear some

TREY: 00:08:54

I love the idea

CHELSEY: 00:08:58

So glad that we agree.

CHELSEY: 00:08:59

As you guys know, we are your trusty Review Queens.

CHELSEY: 00:09:03

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

CHELSEY: 00:09:07

We will read that review.

CHELSEY: 00:09:09

We will break it down and then we will rate the impact of the review

CHELSEY: 00:09:16

It's a very Regal process that we call,

VOICEOVER: 00:09:19

Assess That Kvetch

TREY: 00:09:21

But Chelsey, for all of the listeners who don't know the dying language of

CHELSEY: 00:09:27

First of all, let's keep Yiddish alive.

CHELSEY: 00:09:29

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:09:30

It's wonderful language that I love.

TREY: 00:09:33

It only lives through the generation

CHELSEY: 00:09:35

and there's just some things, it just sounds better in Yiddish, like 'Kvetch', which

CHELSEY: 00:09:47

Stop.

CHELSEY: 00:09:47

Kvetching so much."

TREY: 00:09:50

Gesundheit!

CHELSEY: 00:09:51

I didn't sneeze

TREY: 00:09:53

I know my father-in-law always says, "Guzi, guzunt!"

TREY: 00:09:59

Yiddish!

TREY: 00:10:00

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:10:02

Who's first, today.

TREY: 00:10:03

You will be first, last week we did the one and the five, and

TREY: 00:10:09

So you will be first today.

CHELSEY: 00:10:11

Oh my goodness.

CHELSEY: 00:10:12

Okay.

TREY: 00:10:12

So with that, take it away.

TREY: 00:10:14

You Review Queen.

VOICEOVER: 00:10:17

Review That Review.

CHELSEY: 00:10:22

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:10:22

I have a review today from Ashley B and Ashley B is reviewing on Amazon a, what I

CHELSEY: 00:10:42

This is Ashley BS review.

TREY: 00:10:44

What is this?

TREY: 00:10:45

What is a Squatty potty?

TREY: 00:10:46

I'm curious for your explanation,

CHELSEY: 00:10:49

For those of you listening, don't watch shark tank regularly or indulge in, you

CHELSEY: 00:10:59

Uh, the spotty potty is a, like a step stool that tucks into the toilet.

CHELSEY: 00:11:05

And if you're having problems.

CHELSEY: 00:11:06

Going to the bathroom.

CHELSEY: 00:11:07

As some of us are prone to have, no judgment, you can just let this little step stool out in

CHELSEY: 00:11:21

And your experience will be much easier and less stress.

CHELSEY: 00:11:27

So it really took off on shark tank.

CHELSEY: 00:11:30

It's doing phenomenally well, and I hear that generally speaking people are very

CHELSEY: 00:11:38

And I think this was a bit of a cheaper.

CHELSEY: 00:11:40

Option, but sometimes as they say, you get what you pay for.

CHELSEY: 00:11:44

So let's see what Ashley B has to say about this faux Squatty Potty.

CHELSEY: 00:11:51

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:11:51

She said change the product since summer now.

CHELSEY: 00:11:55

It's crap.

CHELSEY: 00:11:56

That's the title.

CHELSEY: 00:11:58

Very witty Ashley be okay.

CHELSEY: 00:12:01

If I had been leaving this review in June of this year, I would have easily given it five stars.

CHELSEY: 00:12:08

In fact, we loved it so much.

CHELSEY: 00:12:11

My husband and I ordered a new one as soon as we could for our downstairs bathroom.

CHELSEY: 00:12:17

Unfortunately, due to finances, we didn't get the second one until today.

CHELSEY: 00:12:22

I was excited and put it together immediately, but I could already tell it was different.

CHELSEY: 00:12:28

The screws don't sit flush on the new one.

CHELSEY: 00:12:32

So putting the caps over them make, make it look silly.

CHELSEY: 00:12:37

They also put a new logo on it.

CHELSEY: 00:12:39

That looks way less sleek and way more infomercial-esque.

CHELSEY: 00:12:44

They're still advertising in the pictures, the pretty sleek version from before.

CHELSEY: 00:12:49

I would not have ordered this version, if I would've known how

CHELSEY: 00:12:56

I added pictures to show the differences between the two.

TREY: 00:13:01

Wow.

TREY: 00:13:03

Ashley B is not happy with this crappy product.

CHELSEY: 00:13:08

Actually, B is really pissed that her Squatty Faux Potty is not flush.

TREY: 00:13:18

Ashley B wants to take this product.

TREY: 00:13:22

Down into the Sewers and the gutters where it belongs.

CHELSEY: 00:13:26

Just flush that product right down the proverbial drain.

CHELSEY: 00:13:30

Ashley B.

TREY: 00:13:32

She's so mad she needs.

TREY: 00:13:34

She's going to have a diaper rash.

TREY: 00:13:36

I don't know.

TREY: 00:13:36

I don't know.

CHELSEY: 00:13:37

Don't get a hemorhoid.

CHELSEY: 00:13:39

I don't know.

CHELSEY: 00:13:39

What else do we....

TREY: 00:13:42

Oy Gavelt!

CHELSEY: 00:13:42

Oy Gavelt, All right.

CHELSEY: 00:13:44

Ashley B.

CHELSEY: 00:13:45

Ashley B has photographic evidence.

CHELSEY: 00:13:48

Let's just say that first and foremost.

CHELSEY: 00:13:49

I know that obviously you guys can't see what I see, but basically what I'm seeing in

CHELSEY: 00:13:58

It's just, it's not in the proper spot.

CHELSEY: 00:14:02

So what we have is a little bit of a raising of a lip.

CHELSEY: 00:14:07

On top, and we just, we don't have a solid place to put our feet.

CHELSEY: 00:14:11

Now.

CHELSEY: 00:14:11

It doesn't really look like something that would impede my experience of this item.

CHELSEY: 00:14:16

If anything, I'd say like a little bit of an eyesore.

CHELSEY: 00:14:18

I'd rather things be flush as well.

CHELSEY: 00:14:20

But I don't know, like it's seems like it would still serve a purpose to me.

TREY: 00:14:25

Do you think that that is Ashley B's fault?

TREY: 00:14:28

With which the construction of them screwing it together, or do you

TREY: 00:14:35

Like, it's not like,

CHELSEY: 00:14:37

um...

TREY: 00:14:39

because Ikea, you know, you make it yourself, but sometimes you, some

CHELSEY: 00:14:45

I think there's a, there's a high possibility that, you know, whoever was making

CHELSEY: 00:15:01

Where, where things aren't lined up correctly.

CHELSEY: 00:15:04

So I don't know that it's.

CHELSEY: 00:15:05

It's necessarily Ash Ashley B's construction that send it off, especially considering

CHELSEY: 00:15:12

Rather like we've done this before.

TREY: 00:15:15

Good Point.

TREY: 00:15:15

The bulk of this review is so reminiscent of your complaint that you lodged a couple of weeks ago

CHELSEY: 00:15:28

Yeah.

TREY: 00:15:29

That is very maddening.

TREY: 00:15:30

Like if the, um, product gets tweaked, but there's not enough marketing

CHELSEY: 00:15:39

Yeah.

TREY: 00:15:40

Then I do believe that's false advertising and I would be mad about that, too.

CHELSEY: 00:15:45

Yeah, I think I would be pretty mad.

CHELSEY: 00:15:46

I mean, I think, you know, we all buy a lot of products on Amazon, I guess.

CHELSEY: 00:15:50

And sometimes you find a winner you know, and you want to order another one

CHELSEY: 00:15:58

I'm going to order a second one.

CHELSEY: 00:16:00

I think it would be upsetting if the consistency wasn't there.

CHELSEY: 00:16:04

So.

TREY: 00:16:05

Agreed.

TREY: 00:16:06

When was this review, by the way?

CHELSEY: 00:16:07

I feel for Ashley B, this is recent.

CHELSEY: 00:16:10

A lot of people did invest in Squatty Potties over the pandemic because we

CHELSEY: 00:16:16

So this was written in October 14th, 2020,

TREY: 00:16:20

because see, that was going to be my question.

TREY: 00:16:21

If it's recent, I wonder if there was an issue with manufacturing because of

CHELSEY: 00:16:28

Could be.

CHELSEY: 00:16:30

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:16:30

And if, and maybe a lot of people really were ordering this product more than usual.

CHELSEY: 00:16:34

And so they really had to churn them out so to speak.

TREY: 00:16:38

Oh my gosh...

CHELSEY: 00:16:39

Could be good.

CHELSEY: 00:16:41

I mean, we're not going to stop with the bathroom puns, right?

TREY: 00:16:45

You know, I, I do come across reviews like this often, specifically on Amazon where

TREY: 00:16:54

So I really think that this is a very valuable review because Ashley B, this is a returning

TREY: 00:17:06

My like, back and forth of that is sort of like, well, if you don't want to

TREY: 00:17:15

Then, you have to get a product that you have to assemble because the actual Squatty

CHELSEY: 00:17:23

No Assembly Required.

TREY: 00:17:24

I actually think this is really valuable that Ashley has put this information in

CHELSEY: 00:17:32

I agree.

CHELSEY: 00:17:33

I also really like agree and that I, I liked that she disclosed us that due to finances, you

CHELSEY: 00:17:42

I feel like that really emphasizes her excitement, which she said she was so

CHELSEY: 00:17:49

It was like, I was saving up for it.

CHELSEY: 00:17:51

I loved the first one.

CHELSEY: 00:17:52

Like I imagine her and her her, her and her husband.

CHELSEY: 00:17:56

Using the same bathroom and then just like waiting for the moment that they're

TREY: 00:18:05

I thought of that too, because she, our Ashley B says that they assembled it as soon

TREY: 00:18:27

Like, I, I feel like Ashley's being very transparent.

TREY: 00:18:30

They're not trying to be bougie.

TREY: 00:18:31

They're not trying.

TREY: 00:18:33

Like lie upwards.

TREY: 00:18:34

They're saying this is my circumstance and this is like what I got and that's incorrect and bad.

TREY: 00:18:40

So therefore, if I had written this in June, it would have been great.

TREY: 00:18:44

This is what's happening now.

TREY: 00:18:45

And you should know, buyer beware.

TREY: 00:18:47

So I appreciate that.

TREY: 00:18:49

And I really receive it as truthful.

CHELSEY: 00:18:52

I agree.

CHELSEY: 00:18:52

I also wanted to point out the whole logo thing.

CHELSEY: 00:18:55

Like I'm a big stickler for that.

CHELSEY: 00:18:58

If your logo is going to be on my product, it better be like small and sleek and just blend in

CHELSEY: 00:19:09

I wouldn't want any product in my home that had, as Ashley B points

CHELSEY: 00:19:18

Like I'm not a salesman for you, I'm just trying to use your product.

TREY: 00:19:23

I do think that I thought there would be more humor in the review based

CHELSEY: 00:19:30

Yes.

TREY: 00:19:31

So I did feel a little let down in the humor entertainment area, although

CHELSEY: 00:19:38

I agree.

CHELSEY: 00:19:39

I had high hopes for the bathroom puns from the title.

CHELSEY: 00:19:44

I don't think we got as many as of them as I thought we were going to get, but

TREY: 00:19:54

And like, we, you and I did it, but like, it's sort of like stupid and like

CHELSEY: 00:20:08

I agree, but like, I think that in just being truthful to what it

TREY: 00:20:20

No,

CHELSEY: 00:20:20

You know, I wouldn't like necessarily be like, oh guys, let me read

TREY: 00:20:28

I'm really, um, finding myself on Ashley B's side here.

TREY: 00:20:31

Tell me, does it look like Ashley B hit spellcheck, before they submitted?

CHELSEY: 00:20:36

Ashley b definitely hit spellcheck.

CHELSEY: 00:20:38

She's, in my guess, at least college educated.

CHELSEY: 00:20:42

She used quotes properly.

CHELSEY: 00:20:45

punctuation, all great.

CHELSEY: 00:20:47

Commas.

CHELSEY: 00:20:48

Periods.

CHELSEY: 00:20:49

Just...

CHELSEY: 00:20:50

appropriate to...

CHELSEY: 00:20:51

difference between the to, too.

CHELSEY: 00:20:54

So I do think Ashley clicked spellcheck maybe even has Grammarly.

TREY: 00:21:00

Hmm.

TREY: 00:21:01

What do you think the, is there an impact here for you?

TREY: 00:21:03

It's a deal breaker.

TREY: 00:21:04

I think it's kind of a, I think it's kind of a deal breaker for me.

CHELSEY: 00:21:08

I think that's sort of a deal breaker.

CHELSEY: 00:21:09

I wouldn't want a subpar product and I would trust somebody that's ordered it twice to

CHELSEY: 00:21:15

I think at very least I might do a little bit more research.

CHELSEY: 00:21:19

Maybe reach out to the seller and say, I've heard this product is good.

CHELSEY: 00:21:22

I probably wouldn't do that.

CHELSEY: 00:21:23

That's not true.

CHELSEY: 00:21:24

I would just click onto the next one.

CHELSEY: 00:21:26

Let's be honest.

TREY: 00:21:27

That's what I would do too, yeah.

TREY: 00:21:28

All right.

TREY: 00:21:29

I think I'm ready to crown this.

CHELSEY: 00:21:30

Me too!

TREY: 00:21:31

All right.

TREY: 00:21:32

So in order to be fair and not influenced by one another Chelsey and I each have

TREY: 00:21:40

So we will simultaneously reveal our rating.

THEME SONG: 00:21:47

The Queens are Tabulating

TREY: 00:21:49

alright, You ready to show?

CHELSEY: 00:21:51

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:21:52

I am ready.

TREY: 00:21:54

I have a feeling.

TREY: 00:21:54

I have a feeling how this is gonna go.

CHELSEY: 00:21:56

Okay, well, let's see.

VOICEOVER: 00:22:02

Total score.

TREY: 00:22:03

Four, four.

TREY: 00:22:03

That's what I thought.

TREY: 00:22:05

Unanimous.

CHELSEY: 00:22:07

Unanimous.

CHELSEY: 00:22:08

Four crowns.

CHELSEY: 00:22:09

Trey.

CHELSEY: 00:22:10

Why did you give Ashley B four crowns?

TREY: 00:22:13

Honestly, because humor-wise is a little low, but they started with a joke in the title.

TREY: 00:22:18

So for that, love it.

TREY: 00:22:20

To the point!

TREY: 00:22:21

They were self, humbling rather than self-aggrandizing, which I appreciated.

TREY: 00:22:25

Maybe don't have to click see more.

TREY: 00:22:27

It's just to the point there's images, there's evidence of the product.

TREY: 00:22:32

Previous buyer.

TREY: 00:22:33

Therefore, I think I would probably not purchase this.

TREY: 00:22:36

I would scroll to see like other competitors and I would definitely be looking through other reviews

TREY: 00:22:43

So that's why I gave Ashley before crowns for this fake Squatty Potty.

CHELSEY: 00:22:47

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:22:47

I'm with you ditto to everything that you just said, and also.

CHELSEY: 00:22:51

I believe that Ashley was a real person that had this experience.

CHELSEY: 00:22:56

that's important to me when I'm reading a review that I feel like there's a real

CHELSEY: 00:23:02

Not some like angry person on the internet or like someone that's a bot

CHELSEY: 00:23:10

This sounded like this was a real person.

CHELSEY: 00:23:13

So Ashley B.

CHELSEY: 00:23:14

Good job.

CHELSEY: 00:23:15

Four crowns.

TREY: 00:23:17

Woo.

TREY: 00:23:18

That was fun.

TREY: 00:23:18

And here we are.

It's time to take a quick spin on the Meryl-Go-Round.

TREY: 00:25:12

Chelsey, strap into that whale.

VOICEOVER: 00:25:15

I don't feel like an icon, most days, I feel like 'I can't!'

VOICEOVER: 00:25:22

That's with an A.

CHELSEY: 00:25:25

I like how in this Meryl-Go-Round there's whales.

TREY: 00:25:28

Yeah.

TREY: 00:25:28

I thought that might be like a possibility.

TREY: 00:25:30

Like you sit on that fan, maybe?

CHELSEY: 00:25:32

I totally got what you were saying surprisingly, or maybe

CHELSEY: 00:25:38

Strap into your alligator, this, this Meryl-Go-Round has all kinds of crazy animals.

TREY: 00:25:44

Wait, I have a really funny dad joke.

CHELSEY: 00:25:46

Tell me.

TREY: 00:25:47

How do you tell the difference between a crocodile and an alligator?

CHELSEY: 00:25:51

How?

TREY: 00:25:52

Ask and find out which one we'll see you later and which one will see after a while.

CHELSEY: 00:25:57

Oh, wow.

CHELSEY: 00:25:59

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:26:00

Maybe I'll use that one on my nephew.

CHELSEY: 00:26:02

I think he'll like it.

CHELSEY: 00:26:03

He's five.

TREY: 00:26:04

Yeah, I think it will be a hit.

TREY: 00:26:06

Okay.

TREY: 00:26:06

Anyway, so here's the deal, Chelsea and I each pick a rotten scathing, pithy one star zinger.

TREY: 00:26:13

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

CHELSEY: 00:26:21

just like Queen Meryl, who does everything

TREY: 00:26:25

...before the clock runs out.

TREY: 00:26:27

Okay.

TREY: 00:26:27

This is going to be fun for me.

CHELSEY: 00:26:29

Okay.

TREY: 00:26:29

So I have a apple podcast review.

CHELSEY: 00:26:33

Great

TREY: 00:26:34

For a podcast called Goodnight, World featuring the beloved Sesame Street

CHELSEY: 00:26:53

I'm like already nervous.

CHELSEY: 00:26:55

Can I be like completely transparent,

CHELSEY: 00:26:57

but

TREY: 00:26:57

Like, what the f?!

CHELSEY: 00:27:00

Also just like in the amount of genres you're going to have to do this and I can't wait.

CHELSEY: 00:27:04

It's going to be great.

TREY: 00:27:05

Oy!

TREY: 00:27:05

All right, so, here we go.

CHELSEY: 00:27:08

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:27:08

Are you ready?

TREY: 00:27:09

VOICEOVER: 00:27:41

CHELSEY: 00:27:44

That was so good.

TREY: 00:27:49

TREY: 00:27:49

How many?!

CHELSEY: 00:27:51

I really think that might be a personal best.

CHELSEY: 00:27:54

Was that seven or sex?

CHELSEY: 00:27:55

Let me count.

CHELSEY: 00:27:56

Okay.

TREY: 00:27:57

I don't know, but I hate singing and I hate karaoke, but I

CHELSEY: 00:28:02

Trey.

CHELSEY: 00:28:03

That was six!

CHELSEY: 00:28:05

Epic job.

TREY: 00:28:06

Whoa!

CHELSEY: 00:28:07

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:28:08

Impressed.

TREY: 00:28:09

All right, your turn.

TREY: 00:28:11

What is your zinger today?

CHELSEY: 00:28:13

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:28:13

My zinger for the day is from Google reviews.

CHELSEY: 00:28:18

It is a one star review from NA Yan, Wu of the Wilson and Harding

CHELSEY: 00:28:30

NA says so busy give up exercise.

TREY: 00:28:38

What?

TREY: 00:28:40

Okay...

TREY: 00:28:42

Great!

CHELSEY: 00:28:44

So busy give up exercise

TREY: 00:28:48

Is golfing exercising?

CHELSEY: 00:28:49

I always thought golfing was more social then exercise.

TREY: 00:28:53

I thought it was a sport.

TREY: 00:28:54

Okay.

TREY: 00:28:54

Well, whatever.

TREY: 00:28:55

All right.

TREY: 00:28:55

Good job.

CHELSEY: 00:28:57

No, it's just, I guess it's a sport, but like don't you ride around

CHELSEY: 00:29:01

I'm just distracting.

CHELSEY: 00:29:03

Cause I am nervous, but let's not waste any more time.

TREY: 00:29:06

All right.

TREY: 00:29:06

How are we go.

TREY: 00:29:08

Strap, strap into that whale honey.

CHELSEY: 00:29:10

Got put into that whale.

TREY: 00:29:11

Okay,

THEME SONG: 00:29:24

Give up

VOICEOVER: 00:29:26

CHELSEY: 00:29:35

TREY: 00:29:38

Disney

TREY: 00:29:44

Yankee.

TREY: 00:29:48

Eww, that was cutting it close.

CHELSEY: 00:29:50

That was cutting it close.

TREY: 00:29:53

Let's see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then the Yankee was six.

TREY: 00:29:58

So.

TREY: 00:29:59

So it's a tie.

TREY: 00:30:01

I almost want to give the one to you cause you have like a clean.

TREY: 00:30:05

let's just take a bow together.

CHELSEY: 00:30:07

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:30:07

You're right.

TREY: 00:30:11

It's just a game.

TREY: 00:30:12

It's not that serious.

CHELSEY: 00:30:13

It's not that serious.

CHELSEY: 00:30:14

Yes.

CHELSEY: 00:30:14

But I almost like, I don't know, got a little bit of a stomach stitch stepping

CHELSEY: 00:30:21

I'm all right.

CHELSEY: 00:30:22

In case anyone was concerned.

TREY: 00:30:24

And the alligator was very snappy.

CHELSEY: 00:30:27

Oh, you with the dad jokes today.

CHELSEY: 00:30:29

I love it.

CHELSEY: 00:30:30

It's great.

VOICEOVER: 00:30:33

Review that review.

CHELSEY: 00:30:37

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:30:38

We are back from that rousing game break.

CHELSEY: 00:30:40

And it's your turn Trey?

CHELSEY: 00:30:42

Where is your review from this week?

TREY: 00:30:44

Al right, so this is from TripAdvisor.

CHELSEY: 00:30:49

Okay.

TREY: 00:30:50

So it's a one dot review from Dan R for the Richard Rogers theater.

TREY: 00:30:58

In New York city, it's a Broadway house, which is currently a

CHELSEY: 00:31:04

Um, no.

CHELSEY: 00:31:05

What show is at Richard Rogers.

TREY: 00:31:07

It's just little, little, little small production called Hamliton.

CHELSEY: 00:31:13

Oh, right.

CHELSEY: 00:31:14

I saw it there.

CHELSEY: 00:31:16

I just didn't remember that that was Richard Rogers.

TREY: 00:31:19

Alright, and this is the review...

CHELSEY: 00:31:21

and is it, am I allowed to ask upfront if it's about a specific

TREY: 00:31:28

You're going to find out, real quick.

CHELSEY: 00:31:29

I'm about to find out.

CHELSEY: 00:31:30

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:31:30

I'm getting ahead of myself.

CHELSEY: 00:31:31

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:31:32

Let's hear from Dan R

TREY: 00:31:33

I, but that's a great question, actually.

TREY: 00:31:34

Okay.

TREY: 00:31:35

Okay.

TREY: 00:31:36

Smallest theater seats.

TREY: 00:31:38

Beware.

TREY: 00:31:40

After seeing Hamilton, my email to their customer service.

TREY: 00:31:46

I want to express my extreme displeasure regarding my family's visit to your

TREY: 00:31:53

We waited caps months to see Hamilton with great anticipation only to be completely disappointed

TREY: 00:32:04

We sat in the mezzanine parentheses, R mez, end parentheses row, D seats 6, 8, 10, and 12.

TREY: 00:32:15

The seats were so small that my knees were pressed firmly against the wooden barrier in front of me.

TREY: 00:32:21

There was no opportunity to shift in any way.

TREY: 00:32:25

It was physically painful.

TREY: 00:32:27

We considered leaving.

TREY: 00:32:29

My mother-in-law who is 89, had to sit on an angle to fit and her hip is still

TREY: 00:32:39

My wife is five, four, and she could not move her legs either.

TREY: 00:32:45

We feel that this row was added as a retrofit.

TREY: 00:32:49

I can't imagine that every seat has the same dimensions.

TREY: 00:32:53

Had these seats been identified as small, we would have never purchased them.

TREY: 00:32:59

We find it so disconcerting that we left the show, knowing that the performance was

TREY: 00:33:09

Intermission and the end of the show were welcomed relief.

TREY: 00:33:12

I am asking that you consider this email as an opportunity.

TREY: 00:33:17

We'd like to see the show again, and we'd like to have house seats.

TREY: 00:33:22

I think this is fair and hope that you do as well.

TREY: 00:33:25

I look forward to hearing from someone in your organization to resolve this matter, enter, enter.

TREY: 00:33:33

They responded saying, sorry, you were uncomfortable.

TREY: 00:33:36

That's it.

TREY: 00:33:38

Dot, dot, dot.

TREY: 00:33:39

I will never.

TREY: 00:33:40

Go there again.

TREY: 00:33:42

That's for sure.

CHELSEY: 00:33:46

Wow.

CHELSEY: 00:33:47

Dan R, I have to be honest.

CHELSEY: 00:33:51

I feel Dan R's pain.

TREY: 00:33:53

I mean, the seats at Broadway houses are from like the 1910s.

TREY: 00:33:59

So they are very small.

TREY: 00:34:01

That is very common.

TREY: 00:34:02

I just, I have to interrupt to point out.

CHELSEY: 00:34:05

Yes.

TREY: 00:34:06

That Dan R purchased tickets in the rear mezzanine and is requesting house

TREY: 00:34:22

This review was written in 2015.

TREY: 00:34:24

We've been shut down because of the pandemic, but, you can not get house seats and

TREY: 00:34:33

And you bought Reger mezzanine seats.

TREY: 00:34:35

Sorry.

TREY: 00:34:35

I'm sorry.

CHELSEY: 00:34:37

Can I tell you like a little like secret that I'm announcing on the podcast?

CHELSEY: 00:34:42

I saw Hamilton in the house seats.

CHELSEY: 00:34:47

I did.

TREY: 00:34:48

Do you think that that was a better seat than purchasing a seats in rear mezz

CHELSEY: 00:34:57

I think, and I know from personal experience that it was night and day, you

CHELSEY: 00:35:12

So that's how I was sitting there, but I've spent a lot of time in the rear mezzanine.

CHELSEY: 00:35:17

I'm not always fancy and I'm a.

CHELSEY: 00:35:19

You know, larger, full, figured, beautiful woman.

CHELSEY: 00:35:24

And they, you know, they did make them smaller back then.

CHELSEY: 00:35:27

I think it's the food preservatives, but that's a whole nother discussion.

CHELSEY: 00:35:31

Okay.

TREY: 00:35:31

I agree!

CHELSEY: 00:35:32

they really should renovate the seats.

TREY: 00:35:35

So I picked this review because I'm really of two minds here.

CHELSEY: 00:35:39

Yeah.

TREY: 00:35:39

To the point about the house seats, like how seats are the last tickets to go

TREY: 00:35:47

So that's how those work.

CHELSEY: 00:35:49

Right.

TREY: 00:35:50

And I recognize that it costs more money to not be in the rear mezzanine.

TREY: 00:35:55

So I'm not trying to make a classist point here, but I just have a, I personally.

TREY: 00:36:01

Have a thing that I cannot buy in the rear mezzanine because it's a horrible seat.

TREY: 00:36:07

So, I mean, you just can't see anything.

TREY: 00:36:09

I mean, the amount of times I've seen shows that far back it's like,

TREY: 00:36:15

There are many crafty ways in which to get better seats.

TREY: 00:36:18

Anyway, we're sort of on a tangent here, but yes, I also agree that the seats in Broadway houses

TREY: 00:36:30

Literally those seats were so close.

TREY: 00:36:33

Like you would be, your knees would literally be touching the seats in front of you.

CHELSEY: 00:36:38

Yeah.

TREY: 00:36:39

But it sounds to me like Dan.

TREY: 00:36:42

Has made up a truth for himself that this row was retrofit.

CHELSEY: 00:36:49

I know, that was pretty funny,

TREY: 00:36:51

which like, I feels a little Kareny to me, but I'm actually going to pull

TREY: 00:36:59

And I'm going to confirm that these seats, since they, Dan gave us the actual locations,

CHELSEY: 00:37:08

Oh, good research.

CHELSEY: 00:37:10

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:37:10

I think that that was kind of funny, but in terms of the rear mezzanine thing, it

CHELSEY: 00:37:17

At some point, even the cast got really upset and they were like, we need to put

CHELSEY: 00:37:24

These tickets for, even through TicketMaster, it was crazy the amount of money you

CHELSEY: 00:37:30

So I don't fault Dan R for sitting in the rear mezzanine.

CHELSEY: 00:37:33

I think it was such a popular and it was and is such a popular show when was this written

TREY: 00:37:40

2015?

CHELSEY: 00:37:41

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:37:42

So like in 2015, this was the hottest ticket in town.

CHELSEY: 00:37:45

And to get any seat, if you had to do, I think my sister did standing room or

CHELSEY: 00:37:51

Like there were things that you were doing to see the show people made a lot of, even if Dan

CHELSEY: 00:38:02

That was just the kind of show that it was.

TREY: 00:38:05

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:38:05

I don't really fault him.

CHELSEY: 00:38:06

I mean, yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:38:07

Like it was sort of funny when he was like, you should give me house seats, but I think.

CHELSEY: 00:38:11

The response should have been a little bit more than that on the one hand, on the other

CHELSEY: 00:38:24

I've had to contort my body into all kinds of shapes to see a Broadway show.

CHELSEY: 00:38:28

And it is distracting.

TREY: 00:38:29

Mmm-hmm.

CHELSEY: 00:38:30

It does take away from the performance and what's happening on

CHELSEY: 00:38:34

When you're like my foot's asleep, I got to like re you know, it's definitely

CHELSEY: 00:38:41

And I'll say on the flip side, when I do go to a theater, that's been updated like a Broadway

CHELSEY: 00:38:50

It is like, what a delight.

TREY: 00:38:52

Totally.

CHELSEY: 00:38:53

You know, it is worth the price of admission to have a good

TREY: 00:38:59

I also really love that Dan are sent an email and then just copy pasted

CHELSEY: 00:39:07

I was going to laugh about that.

CHELSEY: 00:39:08

That was the first thing that I wrote down.

CHELSEY: 00:39:10

I was like my email, like I like circled it.

CHELSEY: 00:39:13

And then also I wanted to be reminded, I think you said it already, but who did

TREY: 00:39:21

Customer service.

TREY: 00:39:22

So I actually, I don't know if it went to the Shuberts, I'm wondering who customer service is.

TREY: 00:39:27

It might've been Telecharge,

CHELSEY: 00:39:29

That's what I mean, like, I wonder who customer service is because you would have to

CHELSEY: 00:39:38

And I don't know that this email through customer service would have gotten there.

CHELSEY: 00:39:44

So I do feel like Dan R.

CHELSEY: 00:39:46

Was wanted to make sure that his email had more of an audience than just whoever received this

TREY: 00:40:05

All of it, I mean, except for the first sentence in the last sentence,

TREY: 00:40:09

It's not owned by the Shuberts it's owned by the Nederlander.

CHELSEY: 00:40:13

Hmm, the other royalty of broadway,

TREY: 00:40:16

I feel like JuJamson.

TREY: 00:40:18

Well, there are, who cares?

TREY: 00:40:19

We're in the weeds,

CHELSEY: 00:40:20

There's a handful of them.

CHELSEY: 00:40:23

Anyway.

CHELSEY: 00:40:23

Point is I agree with Dan R, I know that he's being truthful.

CHELSEY: 00:40:28

I understand how upset he is.

CHELSEY: 00:40:30

I would be upset too.

CHELSEY: 00:40:32

If I waited two months to see a show and I was really excited about it and I couldn't enjoy

CHELSEY: 00:40:38

I want to validate that experience.

CHELSEY: 00:40:41

I also want to validate the fact that Dan R wrote this review for the Richard

CHELSEY: 00:40:48

You know, I think, I think he would have enjoyed the show more.

CHELSEY: 00:40:51

I think he wanted to enjoy the show more.

CHELSEY: 00:40:52

I think he's a patron of the arts and he really wanted to enjoy this production of

CHELSEY: 00:41:02

Impeded his ability to, you know, enjoy in this, this wonderful historical theater experience.

CHELSEY: 00:41:10

And I think that this is an experience that it can be expected.

CHELSEY: 00:41:14

I mean, if you're going to go to the theater, expect to be cramped.

TREY: 00:41:17

I was going to say that as well.

TREY: 00:41:18

Like I do think it's actually very valuable.

TREY: 00:41:21

I kind of went in hard about the rear mezzanine, which is sort of a tangent, but I remember I saw.

TREY: 00:41:27

The Romeo and Juliet, the Romeo and Juliet with Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad.

TREY: 00:41:33

And I was in the last row of the orchestra.

TREY: 00:41:36

And I couldn't see the balcony scene because the mezzanine overhangs row L

TREY: 00:41:43

I couldn't see the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet because the balcony was so low.

CHELSEY: 00:41:51

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:41:51

I mean, I I've purchased...

TREY: 00:41:53

...so, the theater has problems...

CHELSEY: 00:41:54

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:41:54

I've purchased what they deem partial view seats.

CHELSEY: 00:41:59

I saw Sweeney Todd behind a column.

CHELSEY: 00:42:03

Like anything, anything that happened to the left or the right of the column, I could see.

CHELSEY: 00:42:09

Any, any action that happened, right.

CHELSEY: 00:42:11

Smack there, align with the column I just missed.

CHELSEY: 00:42:15

I just missed that part.

TREY: 00:42:17

I wonder if, um, Broadway will take this opportunity to listen to Dan R since it's been

CHELSEY: 00:42:24

I hope so.

CHELSEY: 00:42:25

I mean, I do feel bad, like in the context of the world right now, and

CHELSEY: 00:42:30

And so many people that depended on the livelihood of Broadway or are not able to work

TREY: 00:42:46

I just don't see it happening because it's all about money and like, you gotta sell

TREY: 00:42:54

But I will say that Dan R has beautiful spelling, definitely crafted this to perfection.

CHELSEY: 00:43:01

I was going to say Dan R was giving me professor vibes.

TREY: 00:43:05

Disconcerting is such a good word.

CHELSEY: 00:43:07

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:43:07

Professor Dan R.

TREY: 00:43:09

And we like, we both agree.

TREY: 00:43:11

This is very, a common experience with both have experiences like this.

TREY: 00:43:14

And I don't find this to be humorous as much as I wanted it to be.

CHELSEY: 00:43:17

Exactly.

CHELSEY: 00:43:18

I mean, no, um, disrespect for, to your wonderful performance, which is always solid.

CHELSEY: 00:43:23

And great.

CHELSEY: 00:43:24

Just don't want you to think that the lack of humor had anything to do with you.

CHELSEY: 00:43:27

It didn't.

CHELSEY: 00:43:28

I just think it's not that funny of an issue.

CHELSEY: 00:43:30

Like it's absolutely accurate and it's true.

CHELSEY: 00:43:33

I wasn't laughing.

CHELSEY: 00:43:35

I wasn't entertained, I wouldn't read it around a campfire, like I said, but I think it's truthful.

CHELSEY: 00:43:40

Are we ready to crown this, you think?

TREY: 00:43:42

I think I'm ready.

TREY: 00:43:43

I also just want to say that I love that they took their 89 year old mother-in-law to see Hamilton.

CHELSEY: 00:43:48

Oh, I know that it sounds like it was a whole family affair, which is

TREY: 00:43:58

Yeah.

TREY: 00:43:58

It is.

TREY: 00:43:59

Especially that show.

TREY: 00:44:00

All right.

TREY: 00:44:00

So let's

CHELSEY: 00:44:01

Dan R.

CHELSEY: 00:44:01

What a good son.

TREY: 00:44:03

All right.

TREY: 00:44:03

Let's crown it.

CHELSEY: 00:44:04

Let's do it.

THEME SONG: 00:44:07

The Queens are Tabulating.

TREY: 00:44:10

I'm a little conflicted, but all right.

TREY: 00:44:12

Are you ready?

CHELSEY: 00:44:12

Okay, I'm ready.

TREY: 00:44:16

Okay.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:18

Total Score!

TREY: 00:44:20

Yeah,

CHELSEY: 00:44:20

We did it again!

CHELSEY: 00:44:22

It's a, it's a four crown kind of show.

TREY: 00:44:24

It's interesting because I feel like similarly, Dan R and Ashley B were just

TREY: 00:44:40

And I just, I do think it's kind of funny too, but Hey, squeaky wheel gets the grease

TREY: 00:44:48

So, If you want to, if Dan are wants to request that he is given house seats, then go for it.

TREY: 00:44:55

You know, manifest it baby.

CHELSEY: 00:44:57

I felt similarly.

CHELSEY: 00:44:59

I think that Dan R was honest, again, felt like a real human to me, really felt for

CHELSEY: 00:45:16

He really was anticipating seeing Hamilton.

CHELSEY: 00:45:18

And I think that he was being truthful in his assessment of the theater

So Dan R: 00:45:26

Four crowns.

So Dan R: 00:45:29

Well-deserved

TREY: 00:45:30

I'm in agreement.

TREY: 00:45:32

All right, Chelsey, should we jump into the most Regal portion of our show?

TREY: 00:45:37

Who are you inducting for...?

VOICEOVER: 00:45:42

My Royal Highness

CHELSEY: 00:45:44

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:45:45

Well, I, stayed at the Capri hotel in Ojai.

TREY: 00:45:50

Wait.

TREY: 00:45:50

That sounds so chic.

CHELSEY: 00:45:52

I know it's not the like chicest, but it has the best energy.

CHELSEY: 00:45:57

It's not the fanciest, but I love the Capri and mostly.

CHELSEY: 00:46:02

someone that works there, I believe he's the general manager or his name is Jeff.

CHELSEY: 00:46:08

And he was just lovely.

CHELSEY: 00:46:10

In addition to serving me just like realness and compassion and just like not throwing a

CHELSEY: 00:46:23

I think he should have a Ted Talk, but he doesn't want to because he

CHELSEY: 00:46:29

And I just think that that's beautiful.

CHELSEY: 00:46:31

And Jeff, thank you.

CHELSEY: 00:46:33

And I almost like don't want to tell people in a way how great the Capri

CHELSEY: 00:46:42

But as a Review Queen, I feel compelled to let you know that you should go to the Capri hotel.

CHELSEY: 00:46:48

It's so great.

CHELSEY: 00:46:48

Yeah.

CHELSEY: 00:46:49

And say hi to Jeff for me and everyone that works there is so welcoming when you go there,

CHELSEY: 00:46:59

They're like, Chelsey, thanks for being here.

CHELSEY: 00:47:01

Or like, oh, so good to see you.

CHELSEY: 00:47:03

and so they're great.

CHELSEY: 00:47:04

So Jeff, from the Capri hotel in Ojai, you are my Royall Highness.

TREY: 00:47:11

Wow!

TREY: 00:47:11

Congratulations, Jeff.

TREY: 00:47:12

That's a huge honor.

CHELSEY: 00:47:16

Yes, Trey.

CHELSEY: 00:47:16

How about you?

CHELSEY: 00:47:17

Who's your Royal Highness.

TREY: 00:47:18

Okay.

TREY: 00:47:19

So I'm trying something new for today.

TREY: 00:47:20

I found in my Royal Highness inductee that I don't actually know, but I found this story online.

TREY: 00:47:27

There is a woman who turned 90 years old and her.

TREY: 00:47:31

granddaughter wanted to throw her a huge birthday celebration because she really missed her

TREY: 00:47:52

And so the granddaughter Stephanie thought, well, why can't I just do

CHELSEY: 00:47:58

Awwww!

TREY: 00:47:59

Chelsey, she literally threw a princess themed party.

TREY: 00:48:04

This 90 year old woman is wearing a t-shirt that says.

TREY: 00:48:07

It took 90 years to look this good, she is in a huge rufflely tulle, pink, puffy Tutu.

TREY: 00:48:15

And she has a little, cock-eyed like 90 crown that's like glittery and

CHELSEY: 00:48:21

Queen!

TREY: 00:48:22

Totally queening vibes.

TREY: 00:48:24

And so that really touched my heart.

TREY: 00:48:26

So I am inducting both Stephanie and her G ma for my Royal Highness.

CHELSEY: 00:48:36

That's so special.

CHELSEY: 00:48:37

I love this part of the show.

TREY: 00:48:39

It doesn't just like make you smile.

TREY: 00:48:40

Like she's 90 and she's wearing a Tutu.

CHELSEY: 00:48:43

Uh, we got to put her, we're going to put her on the Instagram or something

CHELSEY: 00:48:53

Shall we keep the regality flowing and read a Royal Review?

TREY: 00:48:57

Yes!

TREY: 00:48:58

I love this part.

TREY: 00:48:58

Let's do it!

CHELSEY: 00:48:59

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:48:59

All right.

CHELSEY: 00:49:01

Well, every, so often we like to feature one of our very own reviews from listeners like you

TREY: 00:49:07

that's right.

TREY: 00:49:07

But a review from one of our listeners is not any ordinary review, honey.

TREY: 00:49:14

It's what we call a "Royal Review!"

VOICEOVER: 00:49:19

"Baby, it's time for some Royal Reviews!"

CHELSEY: 00:49:25

Okay.

CHELSEY: 00:49:25

Well, this Royal Review is from JLHlistener108, who I have a feeling I know who this is.

CHELSEY: 00:49:34

She gave us Five crowns and sh I mean, I'm giving it away cause I'm saying

CHELSEY: 00:49:41

My review may end up on the show, but it's a worthy risk to take, to

CHELSEY: 00:49:51

These two crack me up and I can't wait to hear many more reviews, reviewed great concept.

CHELSEY: 00:49:56

Great hosts.

TREY: 00:49:58
