We've been getting some questions always about what

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:21

All of that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:21

What is so hopefully that

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:23

Hopefully that answers it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:25

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:25

I mean, I, do you guys ever have that feeling when you just find a new TV show

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:35

It's called my claim to fame.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:38

I've been watching it on Hulu.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:40

It's hosted by Kevin Jonas and then the other one, the one that's not.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:46

I think it's Kevin and, and then the Frankie, the one that's not in the group.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:51

Are you there?

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:52

Are you alive?

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:53

I, I've never heard of, never heard of these Jonas people.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:57

What?

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:58

The Jonas brothers?

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:59

Nick Jonas.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:00

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:01

Joe Jonas.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:02

and Kevin, isn't it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:03

Kevin

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:04

Kevin,

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:05

let's look up these Jonah

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:06

the Jonas brothers,

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:08

It's Kevin, isn't it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:11

Yeah, you're right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:12

I've literally never heard Kevin Jonas , but I recognize his face.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:17

anyway, here's the deal.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:18

So I, I start watching the show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:19

It's called your claim to fame, and it's all these people that are related to celebrities.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:27

They give you like little hints here and there about who they are.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:30

And then at the end of the week, you have to say, like, I think that Trey is related to.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:36

I Donn know carrot top, cuz you look so much like him and, and and then if you're

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:47

Now I think what I've explained is that the show is very dumb and I

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:52

So I've been watching it because now I'm hooked and that's what happens when

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:59

And then the next thing you know, you're like fangirling over these

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:05

And so, so

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:07

that was spoiler.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:08

spoiler.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:09

That was just, I made that up because I didn't wanna spoil, but the point is, yeah,

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:15

And so I go to Hulu.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:17

And I happened to catch it, like on the day that it came out and then I had to

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:27

Is there a new episode?

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:28

So I don't wanna be so pretentious as to think that people have that experience with our show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:33

However, I do love that feeling of being like, I have to wait another week for a show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:39

Oh, there's this like extra thing that I can see that can sort of get me through to the next week.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:46

And if you're a true fan of the show, that's what I think Patreon is.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:49

It's like, I like listening to these reviews while I go on my walk and

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:55

Well, like hop on Patreon, and then there you go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:59

We're, we're gonna join you for two walks instead of one, you know, it's exciting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:04

That's the connection piece.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:05

I was like, why is she talking about your claim to fame and Kevin Jonas?

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:09

the long, it was the long way around.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:12

But I think that, like, I'm just saying, like, I understand that feeling, you know?

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:17

of course.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:17

Well, we all do now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:18

Cause we're so used to binging that we like the thought of having to wait,

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:24

stuff is torture.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:25

Wait, okay, wait.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:27

So Chelsey and I are recording right now and it, this is not a normal recording day.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:32

It was spur the moment we're both doing it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:33

And the fact that Chelsey is here is actually no joking, pretty remarkable.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:39

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:39

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:40

This is like very intense and serious.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:43

So I want you to walk us through what happened.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:46

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:47

So I've been pretty fortunate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:49

I did get the flu at the beginning of the year, but I've not gotten

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:57

Thank you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:06:58

But unfortunately the day before I was supposed to fly home for a trip back east and to do a

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:11

Even though I have two boosters, but you know, I have some immunocompromised stuff and I took

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:21

And I was feeling much better.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:23

And then I was put on steroid.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:25

And long story short, my like heart had a real reaction to the steroids.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:31

It was beating very fast.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:32

It was probably one of the scariest things I've ever experienced in my life.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:35

I was sitting completely calm, watching a Netflix special on like Netflix and chilling,

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:45

And I had this horrible episode that left me in the hospital for like almost 14 hours.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:50

And now I have to wear this heart monitor attached to my like body.

Chelsey Donn: 00:07:56

It's like two to three weeks and it's just a saga and it's scary.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:00

And it just reminds us that life is so precious.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:03

And I'm so lucky.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:04

That's really what, what it all comes down to is that I was very scared and it ended up just

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:11

And I didn't have any blood clots and I'm very, very fortunate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:14

And, and the entire time that I was there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:17

You're so lucky.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:17

You're so lucky.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:18

You're so lucky, but because this is a show about complaining.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:25

I just

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:26

balancing the scales.

VOICEOVER: 00:08:27

Lodge Complaint.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:29

I just wanna say that, like I waited a really long time to get into the emergency room.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:33

Like that was very, very stressful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:35

I had a very nice, it's never the nurse's fault.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:38

We know it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:39

It's not the nurse's fault.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:40

It's not the doctor's fault.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:41

It's not their fault that like, it takes so long to get back there, but like still,

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:47

And, and also the other thing I just wanna complain about.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:51

So I'm very happy about the, having the heart monitor, because I know that

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:58

But the tape that adheres to your skin with this monitor, it's, it's very itchy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:06

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:07

It's very uncomfortable.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:09

It, it, doesn't, it just like doesn't allow my body when I'm sleeping to like, be in

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:15

It's very annoying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:17

It's one of those things that I have to be aware of at all times that it's there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:20

I also like.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:21

Okay guys, she doesn't follow the rules all the time.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:24

They told me I couldn't shower with it on like for 24 hours, but I don't know

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:32

I showered, like I'm not gonna not shower, but like I put a Ziploc bag over it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:36

So I'm like negotiating with a Ziploc bag while trying to clean myself.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:42

We all need to be grateful for the moments that we're healthy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:46

because this is a pain in the ass.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:48

And I just wanna go back to normal.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:50

God willing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:51

I wanna heal up.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:52

I wanna be fine.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:53

And this is a little scary to think that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:57

So many aspects of my health, like my blood pressure and my heart rate that

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:04

I know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:05

Cause I went to the doctor right before I got COVID are now like elevated and I don't know,

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:13

So if you guys have any advice for me, please like slide into the DMS.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:16

Let me know how you lived with long COVID or if you had any of these symptoms, let me know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:22

Or if you've ever worn a heart monitor and you have an easy way to like shower and enjoy

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:30

Also

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:30

Oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:30

me know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:31

So that was a very long winded Complaint and gratitude moment, but that's it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:36

That's where I am right now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:37

wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:38

Well, I'm glad that you are sitting up and you're not in bed

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:43

and that you were

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:43

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:45

to jump on and do a recording and.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:47

I am sitting up for the first time in a while.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:48

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:49

I appreciate it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:50

I Donn know that the listeners do too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:51

Your commitment to

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:53

I have been missing you Trey and

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:56

know it's been so long.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:58

I'm, I was like looking for an excuse to do this, and I'm just

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:03

And I can't wait to dive into some reviews, but first.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:07

I gotta know if you have a Complaint, Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:10

I mean, I've been talking so much.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:11

I haven't even heard about your week.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:12

So I've had a good week.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:14

I, we went away for my nephew's first birthday party in Charlotte and David

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:25

Oh, Ooh.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:26

it said it was a four star hotel and

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:28

it

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:28

it was

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:28

gross.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:29

No, it was really gross.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:31

Also.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:31

This is not the Complaint, but it was a king size bed.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:34

And they had like the little, like, you know, those pee guards like to cover the mattress

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:40

Yeah, like a wa like a mattress protector.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:42

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:43

It was a Queen size mattress protector.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:46

So it just kept scrunching off of the bed, which

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:50

it was a Queen sized mattress on, on a king bed.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:53

Yes, it was very clearly the wrong

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:55

It was the wrong size.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:56

It was so tiny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:57

Like you would sit on the bed and then all four corners

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:00

Oh, my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:01

That

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:01

that's

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:02

a slight exaggeration, but it was so annoying cuz I don't.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:05

annoying.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:06

I don't like touching a hotel betting to

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:09

No, Ugh.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:10

anyway, that anyway, it was a good week.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:13

My actual Complaint.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:14

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:15

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:16

I am all, actually, I am a person that if there is a self checkout, I'm gonna run to it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:21

But my Complaint is the sensitivity of the scale on these self checkouts.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:28

CVS is a huge culprit of this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:30

You'll go, you'll swipe it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:32

And then you have to put it in the bagging area because there's a scale under it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:35

And that's how they determine if you're a thief or

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:37

right, right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:39

sensitive that it'll be like, please place item in the bagging area.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:44

and like a siren will go off and the cop light on top goes off.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:48

And then like, if it happens two or three times in a row, then like it freezes the screen and

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:55

And then some person who's working there that doesn't want to come over to, you has to.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:00

Come over type in a code, swipe their little card.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:03

And it's like, the item is right here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:05

I, I like I, or it's like too large to fit in the tiny minuscule CVS bags

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:13

Or even in the bagging area, what do I do with the other stuff I have to, like,

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:18

Well, that's what happens.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:19

It's like, if you buy a like 18 roll of toilet paper, you can't fit it on the.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:25

right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:26

That's just like a random occurrence that really bothers me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:29

And it really does.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:31

Speaking of heart rate, it makes me palpitate at a much higher frequency

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:39

just buying candy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:41

You know, it makes me so angry.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:43

And so I was like, oh, this is like a common day Complaint that I'm

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:48

I think that the best thing that you just said in terms of like recapping

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:03

That they have to go over and help you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:05

Meanwhile, I have never had a self-check experience that didn't require like at least

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:22

And yet that person always seems like, all right, well here I gotta go do my job, I guess.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:29

Like, it's so weird.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:31

They're never at the ready

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:32

or like eager or on it?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:34

No,

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:35

like with the regularity that it happens, you would think that

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:41

Like they're like, they're waiting, they're waiting to, to run.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:45

are my favorite to watch cuz they literally like in a split second will be like,

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:50

Exactly.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:51

intense.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:52

I know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:52

But I think that, I think people with this job should like have that, like that kind of intensity

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:00

That's probably the problem.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:02

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:03

I'm sure that's a huge factor in this, but assuming that we're paying them appropriately,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:10

That should

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:11

to do those jobs.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:12

I think that that should be part of the,

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:14

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:15

Have you been a ball boy and or girl

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:19

or girl or they,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:20

or them above them.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:22

or a ball?

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:23

A ball them.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:26

Uh, okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:26

So that's all of that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:28

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:28

So

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:29

yes, as you were segueing beautifully before, why didn't we jump into some online reviews chills

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:34

I think we should do it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:35

I've missed it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:36

I'm ready.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:37

Let's go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:38

here?

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:38

We.

VOICEOVER: 00:15:40

Review That Review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:45

As you know, we are your trustee review Queens.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:48

We bring in reviews from the internet that we feel need to be inspect.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:52

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

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:59

It's a very Regal process that we call.

VOICEOVER: 00:16:02

Assess that Kvetch.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:04

That's right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:05

Very vehicle.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:06

And so with that in mind, Trey, what have you brought in for us today?

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:10

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:10

So I'm finally doing it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:12

If I could tell you, I'm gonna try to underestimate, I think that I have literally

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:22

This is an underestimation probably four times.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:25

And at the last minute I have changed and I did it two weeks ago.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:30

The last time I did a review and here we are, where I'm officially doing it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:34

This actually was submitted by a listener back in like when we were in like the tens or twenties.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:42

So.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:43

We're almo.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:44

I mean, now it's literally been a full year at this point, so apologies.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:48

But today this is a new source.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:49

This is from a website called influencer stir.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:53

Oh,

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:54

So not an influencer, it's an influencer influencer.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:58

like the straw that serves the drink.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:01

So this is a review written by someone named Amber F

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:06

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:06

four.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:07

Loom deodorant for underarms and private parts.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:11

22 ounce propel.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:14

Jasmine rose.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:16

This is interesting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:17

I, I think it might be LUME

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:21

Is it LUME okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:22

Cuz this

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:22

I'm not a hundred percent sure though.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:24

I,

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:25

I'm gonna have, I'm gonna have a few, um, pronunciation issues.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:29

So should I just say LUME that probably sounds better than Lum.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:33

I can be wrong.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:34

We'll just say LUME for today.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:37

Should we, oh, wait here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:38

Oh, loo if this is saying loom, so you might be right, maybe we all just say it wrong.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:43

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:43

So everyone listening, loom LUME whatever, you know, don't attack

Chelsey Donn: 00:17:48

don't attack us.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:49

So this is, this is Amber F's One-Star-Zinger review on influencer.com.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:57

It's important to note here that Amber F has a little ribbon icon.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:02

next to it that says beauty, junky expert level eight.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:07

Interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:08

I don't know if that's good or bad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:09

so I think that that's good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:11

I think that, I think it means

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:13

It's higher than seven other levels.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:15

I don't know much about influencer, but I think that the idea with this whole ranking

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:28

Like I should listen to you more.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:29

So if you have eight,

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:31

So you've heard of influencer.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:33

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:33

I feel like, like in the zeitgeist.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:36

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:36

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:37

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:38

So yeah, here we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:39

This is Amber F's One-Star-Zinger influencer review for loom deodorant.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:48

I keep seeing loom ad videos on YouTube and the woman who created it talks about how

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:58

She changed everything about deodorant end and acts as if she is the first.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:05

Who has done this it's faults because apparently she never met the creators of Lavalin cream

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:22

She probably should have done more research before making that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:28

used Lavalin for years because it's a cream and a jar parentheses.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:35

They also have roll on and you simply put it on and you can literally

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:43

Or even if life has gotten hectic slash busy, you're a single mom that has a

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:57

It works that well, kept mine on for 72 hours and not reapplied it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:03

And it does what loom claims to do.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:06

It's cheaper of course, but it has no scent.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:10

You can buy the foot cream or they have a deodorant cream parenthesis.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:15

You truly can use either for any part of your body in parentheses.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:19

And you put a small amount on and forget it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:22

They've been doing this for a long.

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:24

And it just feels like a rip off every time I see these loom videos claiming

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:36

That's great for her that she created a product and it would be fine if she were to create

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:48

She could literally be sued for that because her product is identical to lave in

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:58

You can use it on private parts, but you definitely can with it being that great

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:14

I just hate when new companies try to take credit for something that they didn't truly

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:26

That's not okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:28

It's shady.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:30

That was such a turnoff in the ads to hear her brag and take credit for something that

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:39

Please check out Lavalin instead as they are the OG and deserve the credit that

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:48

I Donn don't usually leave bad reviews, but I hate when companies steal from

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:03

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:04

Uh, lava land F I mean, Amber F I mean,

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:09

ideas Lavalin

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:11

F just kidding.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:12

Amber

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:12

have you ever heard of Lavalin?

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:14

I remember, like years ago there was a product that sounds

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:19

And I'm wondering if that was the Lavalin one.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:22

I Donn know

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:22

I do know that the whole sh well, first of all, I Donn, I don't know where

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:36

And that's why.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:38

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:38

And that's why they say like, you can specifically use it on private parts and

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:55

So I know that they do kind of say like, we're the first one, but I think that their

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:07

Like you can really use it everywhere.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:09

And that's how they're marketing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:11

It's not just like, oh, this is an aluminum free deodorant that lasts a long time now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:19

I just heard, as you said, that loom like a loom and, um, Because it's aluminum free.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:25

So maybe that's why it's loom.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:27

I don't know.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:28

Keep going.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:29

well, okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:30

So I I've heard of influencer, I think, but I just wanna be clear.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:34

So is this a site where we're truly going to review products?

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:41

it is.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:42

And it is for loom deodorant, which has 130 reviews and the average is four stars.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:51

okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:52

So what the hell is this review doing here?

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:54

I mean, it's just clearly an ad as annoying as you Amber find the ads for loom.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:03

I find it annoying that you're giving me an ad for another product on the looms page.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:10

Couldn't you have just, first of all.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:13

I don't even believe based on this review that Amber actually even tried the product.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:17

It's almost like she's reviewing the ads.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:20

so very interesting point because nowhere in the review does Amber

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:34

Of course it is.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:36

So it's totally an ad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:37

get the heck.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:38

out Amber, like, it's just, it's one thing to mention a product, which is automatically

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:46

We know this, but this review is a full blown ad for this other product.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:52

How is that appropriate?

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:53

it does feel to me like Amber is a salesperson for Lavalin.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:58

That's why they're so offended, right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:01

Like they're in like Avon or something or they're in some MLM that's like

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:11

And when they were like, I don't usually write negative reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:13

I was like that wasn't even a negative review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:16

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:16

You're not even reviewing the

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:17

not reviewing

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:18

You're just saying they made a false claim.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:20

reviewing their ad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:21

I'm reviewing your ad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:22

And I Donn don't like it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:24

but if you're correct, that loom was created by a gynecologist,

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:33

Are we just supposed to believe random Amber F who is a junkie expert level eight,

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:42

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:43

I thought that was so weird too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:44

of all, I thought we were like at a certain point.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:47

I got really confused because I, when we were getting into all of the details of using

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:57

And I was like, oh, we're still on the Lavalin like, you know, like, I, I was

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:04

Like which product are we talking about?

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:06

Because I'm not on the Lavalin page, I'm on the loom page.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:10

And I agree, like, just because you said it's okay to use on your privates doesn't mean.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:16

Looms not allowed to say we're the first deodorant made by an OB GYN

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:25

Like that is the claim,

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:26

Well, it's also ensuring to me that Amber comes in hot at the top here saying

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:35

It's a cream and a jar parenthesis.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:37

They also have it on a roll on like, it's like, wait, why are you, why are you screaming?

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:41

Because we don't even know where you're coming.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:44

Like, what are

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:44

What are you talking about?

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:47

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:47

LUME is the first deodorant safe to use anywhere under your breast skin, fold

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:54

oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:54

So that's like what they're saying, but like

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:57

tagline.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:58

on the website itself, it breaks down.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:00

Like these are what people like douches, like this is why like, douches

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:05

This is why vaginal gels are good or bad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:07

Like, it is not just like, oh, it doesn't have aluminum in it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:11

So you can use it there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:12

I think that the idea behind the cell and every single ad that I've had is

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:19

That's not just like, uh, it would probably be okay, cuz it doesn't have aluminum to use there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:24

We're creating a product that is specifically for that need and is created by a doctor.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:30

There's so many Juin that don't have aluminum.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:34

Now I Donn don't think that that's what Lumin is saying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:37

The issue is that they're saying that they're the first.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:40

but.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:42

they kind of are, cuz I Donn, I, I can't think of any other deodorant that

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:50

Now that I'm hearing that I am sort of like, oh, maybe

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:54

Cause I, I don't wanna like roll the thing, like on my private area, but regardless who cares.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:02

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:03

It comes in a cream too.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:05

Interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:05

It is that unscented because this one that we're, that Amber has left a

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:14

They have ones, I think that are unscented, but yeah,

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:19

They sell it as a bundle.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:21

I mean, I personally don't necessarily like a lot of

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:26

Like it, it makes me think of like acts it's like every teenage boy has act.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:32

I guess I, but I like the natural deodorant sense cuz they

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:38

Like I, I doubt I do have a friend that uses loom and she's been like

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:43

She's like, I love it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:44

Oh, wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:45

They should call in.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:46

Yeah, they should.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:48

I'm looking now and they do have it unscented.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:50

So like, usually with these natural varieties, they're doing a sense for people like me who

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:00

And then other people who are like, I just don't want any sense.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:02

So they are accommodating everyone.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:03

And you know what the reality is that we didn't get any of that information

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:08

No, not at all.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:09

ER, you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:11

Like Amber F gets an F and like, we're not even at the crowning, but she's getting

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:20

Yeah, it's really confusing to me to like go over and leave a review about something

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:29

Yeah, or just say, like, I don't support this product cuz I don't like the false

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:35

This is a product that I use.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:37

If you wanna hear more about that product, cook this link to my review of blah, blah, blah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:42

It would still be bad, but like you're wasting so much of our time making us.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:48

All of these, like, that's, this is confusion to me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:51

My sister's an intellectual property attorney and this is borderline intellectual

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:01

I mean, they have the same first letter.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:04

Like I, I can see a world in which someone could be reading this review and like, think that

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:15

Well, part of that, I do think the confusion is from like the

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:22

Like they do bleed into the other.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:24

It was hard to sort of read it out loud because I feel like the train of thought jumps around.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:30

Yeah,

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:31

But okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:31

Ultimately, is this valuable

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:34

no,

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:36

for some reason, it makes me not like Lavalin because Amber's

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:45

That's an interesting point, Trey, cuz it's like we're accusing loom

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:53

And yet this is a really bad misrepresentation of Lavalin too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:59

Like I don't know that Lavalin would be thrilled to know that this person

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:06

Amber F is lava land, which I'm not willing to let complete go of.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:10

I, I do think that there's a large possibility here that we have some undercover bossing

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:15

I mean, we clearly think this is shady.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:18

Do what did you think of what I, I think might have been an attempted humor when Amber is

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:29

Well, I come on, I feel like they were like trying to be a little Winky, but at that

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:36

You know what I will say that the only, that was the one Mo cuz I was hating

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:48

And then when we got to that part, I actually thought.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:51

Maybe I should be a little nicer to Amber F she's got a lot of kids around.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:56

Maybe Amber F is not dealing with like a fully present mind when she's writing this review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:01

That is the only thing I'm willing to sort of give Amber F a little bit of a pass

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:13

I'm just trying to have a moment to scroll on Instagram and enjoy myself.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:17

And I'm spammed by this ad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:20

And this is the time where it would just take me over the edge and I gotta do something about

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:29

And maybe, maybe that was what happened, but short of that,

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:33

Yeah, it is so weird that the image they attach to this review

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:40

Just, I mean, it's possible, like we've only really harped on how shady that is,

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:51

I want everyone to see this and be like, oh, what's this image.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:54

Maybe it's coming from a positive place, but it just really does not read that way because Amber

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:13

E exactly like, and everything is a reinvention.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:16

And if you cannot find a way to stand out in the crowd, I do believe that that is your fault.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:22

I have no problem with this company, touting that they are the first deodorant that is intended,

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:34

Well, that's funny if.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:36

If that really is the message that's intended in this ad.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:39

And Amber has seen this ad so many times and keeps missing that one little key piece, or

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:53

So now they're so angry that this other one's claiming that because it's

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:59

You know, it's just all of this Misha where it's like, we're just talking

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:05

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:06

right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:06

Do you think there's any impact for you moving forward?

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:10

If you read this

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:11

You know, a little bit of sadness for Lavalin for Lavalin,

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:20

And I don't really think that that's fair.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:22

And I do feel bad that like, I'm not even giving it the time of day to listen

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:30

Finally, I do wanna share.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:32

I looked up Amber F and as of today's recording, they have 468 reviews on influencer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:40

And today there have been an additional 16 reviews for loom.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:46

So it's now 146 reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:48

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:49

Not, not 16 more from Amber, just 16 more.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:52

no, no.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:53

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:34:54

And it's still rated at four stars.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:56

I Donn know that's a little shady to me, Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:34:58

I Donn like, again, it's very hard with these elite reviewers or these repeat reviewers

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:12

To go on and write these reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:14

And that's why they have so many reviews or is this truly just somebody that like

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:22

Oftentimes depending on the style of the writer, especially with the Yelp elites, I can tell

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:30

They wanna be in it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:32

They like it with.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:34

Review and Amber F I am very suspicious.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:38

I don't know if Amber F was paid by lava land, if like, I'd be almost curious to take a

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:48

Well, that's

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:49

we

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:49

I'm literally doing right now.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:51

Are we pimping other products?

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:53

So I don't know anything about influencer except for today.

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:57

And I see that maybe the first, most recent 20 have a little box LogoVora that says

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:09

So influencer her as sending these repeated reviewers samples to write reviews.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:17

That is not the case for loom.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:21

But Amber is that vocal and active in this community that they are now getting samples

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:27

So they're being paid in samples for the reviews,

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:30

but that wasn't the case for loom.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:33

And Amber was that angry.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:35

I wonder if maybe Amber got a Lavalin sample,

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:38

right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:38

Maybe

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:39

but they say they've been using it for years.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:41

does it, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:42

Has Amber written a review on Lavalin?

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:45

Probably.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:45

Oh, I would imagine.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:47

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:47

I mean that doesn't really like create or negate anything for me, the fact that

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:55

It just feels like Amber F might be a snake in the grass and she might

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:59

here's another one.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:01

Amber reviewed Hines, Buffalo, ranch, Buffalo and ranch sauce gave it four stars.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:08

And it says at the bottom in bold incentivized review, what is influencer?

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:14

I gotta get on here and start making money.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:17

Yeah, we gotta get on there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:18

Try

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:19

So maybe if I, maybe I could do deeper digging, maybe they were incentivized

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:30

that's hearsay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:31

They could just have been incentivized in the sense that like they bought the product and

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:36

I Donn.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:38

Something seems shady.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:39

Something definitely seems shady here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:42

Oh, they have one for a menstrual cup.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:44

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:44

There, maybe there's fertile ground here with, uh, Amber.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:47

Maybe they'll be back on the

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:49

show.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:49

Anyhow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:51

How are you feeling with this loom review?

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:53

Do you think you could rate

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:54

I'm feeling very ready to crown.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:56

I mean, I feel like I'm like not how many cent centimeters I'm crowning.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:00

I'm dial I'm fully dilated.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:02

she's crowning.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:03

All right, here we go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:04

crown.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:05

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

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:11

We will simultaneously reveal our rating.

VOICEOVER: 00:38:15

The Queens are Tabulating.

VOICEOVER: 00:38:23

So.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:24

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:24

I had a feeling you were gonna do that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:26

So I'm holding up zero crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:27

Trey is holding up a half crown.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:29

If I could, I would give zero crowns and I can.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:33

So I'm going to,

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:35

amen.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:35

is zero crowns for you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:38

I just don't see the value.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:39

I cannot give any kind of points to a review that I feel like is distracting is taking.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:47

Off of the course with my goal of trying to decide whether or not I should buy this product.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:53

The fact that the company may or may not be making first claims for getting their first

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:02

That's what I wanna know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:04

I didn't get any of that from Amber F I got a whole bunch of Misha that I did not sign up for.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:13

Sorry, Amber, I don't trust you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:16

Zero crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:18

Why a half crown Trey

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:20

because, okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:21

There's a few parts to this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:23

I do think that as much as I wanna say, there's no value here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:26

This is no impact.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:27

I can't, it's not trustworthy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:29

I do think there is a little bit of a lasting impression on me because as I continue to

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:46

Untrustworthy is Lavalin a better product.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:50

Should I now go down a Lavalin rabbit hole and see if that's,

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:54

you know, like, I

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:54

worried about you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:55

Trey you're too easily influenced.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:58

possible.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:59

I also just, I did a half crown also because I don't wanna be completely slanderous here

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:12

That if a review is incentivized, that means it's dishonest.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:16

Cuz I think that people can be paid for opinions and give a negative opinion.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:21

So I just wanna

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:22

I just don't.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:23

in the atmosphere.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:24

I give you your right to, to honor your half crown, but I'm just gonna say I don't.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:30

See the, like, what is the value of this review?

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:34

The only thing they're slandering about is the fact that they're saying they got there first.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:38

They're not saying that the product is good or bad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:41

They, they don't even have the product.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:43

They're just slandering the ads.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:45

I think it's unclassy and, and poor taste to.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:50

Maybe you could like offer another suggestion of a product, which we don't really like on the show.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:56

This one is blatantly going the other way.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:59

blatant.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:00

But as someone who didn't know how to say influenced her into

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:06

I, I have never heard of Lavalin.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:09

If I am like, I would like to be more conscious of what I rub on my body.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:14

I want to try aluminum free deodorant.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:17

At least Amber F has told me of another competitor that has maybe been in the game longer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:23

And now at the end of this review, the only impact is now I know of another brand.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:27

If I want to do more research on my own, I do think it is in, in very poor taste.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:33

Amber doesn't even have the product get outta here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:36

Don't give

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:36

Get outta here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:37

but now I know of another product.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:39

So that's why I said

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:40

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:40

Fair enough.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:42

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:42

Half crown for knowledge, I get

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:44

indeed fiery review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:47

Huh?

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:48

what?

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:49

That really got me going that I hope my heart monitor's gonna be okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:52

My doctor are gonna be like, what happened during

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:55

funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:55

Cuz as we were going through it, I really was like, oh, I can see how this was submitted.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:01

Early in the show because we have, it really highlights things

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:08

So it's funny

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:09

Oh yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:09

a year ago cuz it covers

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:12

we're like, you advertised another product in this review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:15

You're outta

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:15

repeating yourself so much.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:16

This has nothing to do.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:17

You didn't even buy the, you know, it's like all of those hot button

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:22

And it still makes us angry and these reviews are out there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:27

They are out there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:28

Thank you to mystery listener

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:31

Thank you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:31

for submitting this fun review that I had a good time breaking down with Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:37

And now Trey, that we've, you know, kind of been a little, I don't know, I'll say I've been a

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:48

Yeah, let's shift the energy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:49

Hopefully your heart rate is healthy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:53

Amber F doesn't have any power over us.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:56

that's right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:56

I'm gonna Palo Santo her away.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:59

I'm gonna get the good energy here by Amber F.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:03

Well now in this cleansing breath, why Donn don't we switch extremes here?

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:07

Chelsey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:08

We have reached the most Regal portion of our show.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:11

Who are you inducting today

VOICEOVER: 00:43:14

My Royal line.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:16

Well, Trey, thank you for asking.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:18

And it is a very exciting day today because today I have decided I'm gonna step outta the spotlight.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:24

I'm gonna give the stage to one of our listener Queens, because we've got,

VOICEOVER: 00:43:30

Listener voicemail.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:32

yeah, we do.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:33

We did it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:34

So let's take a listen and, and let somebody else induct someone.

VOICEOVER: 00:43:39

Hi, um, my name's Aaron and I just wanted to nominate for the

VOICEOVER: 00:43:48

Um, it's a crafting store and.

VOICEOVER: 00:43:51

Yeah, I'm obsessed with these coupons.

VOICEOVER: 00:43:54

Typically you can get a 40% off coupons, often a 50% and rarely but possible, a 60% off coupon.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:01

And what's amazing about them is they let you do two transactions at one register with one coupon.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:06

So that means you can get two items.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:08

And I guess the intent is that you buy other things at regular prices, but I never do.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:13

So I just keep going in and you can also leave and then come back, you know, later,

VOICEOVER: 00:44:20

The caveat is that you can't use those coupons on already discounted sale products

VOICEOVER: 00:44:26

So that's kind of a thing, but you can always get a 20% off your entire purchase

VOICEOVER: 00:44:33

And I know this sounds like I work for them, but I don't.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:35

I'm just obsessed.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:36

And so you just do this multiple times, which I do.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:39

And I have a million emails where I'm constantly getting coupons from JoAnn.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:44

And then that applies to actually the discounted and clearance items.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:47

So then if a product is already listed on sale for 40% off, if you apply

VOICEOVER: 00:44:54

Um, but you just have to be careful because Joan.

VOICEOVER: 00:44:57

Regular prices are actually generally higher than other places like Michael's for instance.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:03

So I avoid trying to ever buy things, uh, from JoAnn's without a.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:07

That said some Michaels actually take competitor coupons, which makes JoAnn's coupons.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:12

That Michael's even more powerful because their prices are already lower.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:16

But the Michaels near me stopped accepting JoAnn's coupons.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:19

And I think it was because one time I went in five times in a day to get like paint fall for 50% off.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:25

And I just kept changing my clothes in my hat.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:28

So anyway, I guess that's a negative thing on Michael's, but a positive thing

VOICEOVER: 00:45:37

Are incredible.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:37

So, you know, if you want crafting stuff or I Donn know they have like, uh, seasonal decor, whatever.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:44

Again, I do not work for JoAnn's.

VOICEOVER: 00:45:46

I'm just obsessed with coupons, but.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:53

Oh, my God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:55

That was amazing

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:56

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:58

Well, wait, well, wait, well wait, wait,

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:01

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:01

Aaron.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:02

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:04

I used to work at JoAnn.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:08

Oh yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:09

don't know who this Aaron is.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:10

It's a listener voicemail.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:12

I

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:13

Did you have people that abuse the coupons to the level that Erin does?

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:17

I'm simultaneously angry that I never thought of this,

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:23

Tyra.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:24

I don't know who you are, Aaron, but I want you to friend me on Instagram.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:28

Cause I think you're hilarious based on that monologue.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:31

The thing about Joan.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:33

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:33

There's several things I have to break down here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:36

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:36

Never go to a JoAnn without the coupons.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:39

If you're really serious about it, you must get their app because the coupons change every week.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:45

But yes, you can never use coupons on items that are discounted or on sale.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:51

So they have to be regularly priced.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:53

I just don't.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:54

I mean, I don't know that I'm that good at the coupon game to be able to pull this

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:57

Erin is an extreme

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:59

I mean, he should be on that

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:00

Wait, but Aaron, I wanna tell you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:03

JoAnn will accept competitor coupons.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:06

You were talking about how Michael's may be stopped, but you can ask the person that's

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:15

You have to show.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:16

You can also get the price matched that happens all the

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:21

You know what?

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:21

I bet Aaron didn't realize when he called and gave us all that information, that he would be

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:29

I never disclosed on the, on the show that I worked at, JoAnn, I,

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:34

It was really sad.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:35

I did tear up when I gave my notice because I loved working at the

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:42

And I feel like my heart is warmed by Erin's

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:45

I just wanna know what Aaron's doing with all the crafts and the paint,

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:49

I thought it was

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:50

funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:52

That Aaron talked about going to Michael's and decoy hats and different shirts.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:56

Like all of those things you could purchase at a craft store,

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:59

yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:00

Oh, true.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:01

truly, but truly working at JoAnn did teach me, never go to buy by baby, never go

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:14

And yes, by joining their mailing list.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:16

This really does sound like an ad for JoAnn.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:19

thrive on the coupons.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:21

There are always sales.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:23

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:23

And there are always coupons, never go and do not use a coupon.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:28

Truly you're wasting money.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:30

Everything is priced for the coupons.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:32

You must use the coupons.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:33

So I thoroughly concur with errands induction.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:38

I'm like emotional.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:39

I'm so pleased.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:41

Everyone listening.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:42

Please imagine how sad we all would be.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:45

How much information we would not have at this current moment.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:48

If Aaron had sat on that nomination, are you kidding?

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:52

true.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:52

Look at every, like I just, I wrote down when he was doing that, I was like, wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:57

You know, like the

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:58

The passion?

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:59

We just took a

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:00

such quality information.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:02

I just got a masterclass in JoAnn fabric

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:05

Aaron, please, please.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:06

Friend me on Instagram.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:07

I wanna be your friend.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:08

I think that's so funny.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:09

And yes, it is an honor, even though this Chelsey was doing this one, we will both simultaneously

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:20

Joan's coupons as our Royal Highness this week.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:24

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:25

Fantastic induction learning new things.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:30

And I really like, I have been feeling crafty lately, so I think I just might have to act

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:37

Have you been to a Joan?

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:39

Oh in my day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:40

Oh yeah, for sure.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:41

I've been to a Michael's

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:43

we didn't have them.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:44

I mean, they do exist in South Carolina.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:46

I, I now know, but I had never been inside of a JoAnn until I worked at one because in

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:51

the south it was all

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:53

lobby.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:54

Well, I've never been to a hobby lobby either.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:56

Cuz those didn't

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:57

I thought that your dad like owned a hobby

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:59

No hobby lobby a hates gay people.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:02

Oh,

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:02

No,

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:02

my

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:03

been going all over town, telling people that your dad owned a hobby lobby.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:07

How dare you spread bad information.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:09

Amber, now my dad owned a Ben Franklin crafts who was like a targeted competitor

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:19

They had like framing and plants and, you know, craft stuff.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:23

Yeah, JoAnn really separates itself from Michael's because they have an outrageous

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:34

It's been rebranded.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:35

It's just Joan.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:36

It's just

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:37

If the JoAnn LogoVora is not lime green, then your store has not been updated yet.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:43

The old LogoVora has a little like squiggly between the J squiggly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:48

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:49

Is it like more hunter green?

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:51

The hunter green is an old one.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:52

It it's lime green now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:53

And it's one word, Joan.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:55

JoAnn.

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:56

I also in my tenure at JoAnn Aaron, you'll find this interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:01

I worked the night shift, so I would, occasionally I would go in at midnight

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:08

Unloading the trucks from corporate listening to podcasts while the uh, store was closed.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:14

Anyway, how did we get into this anyway?

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:17

Yes, Erin.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:17

Thank you so much, please.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:19

Please be the Aaron and call in one eight fifty review zero and share

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:26

Isn't the voicemail.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:27

So much more interesting than us reading the DMS.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:29

We'll take the DMS too, but we want to hear your voice and your passion, your emphatic passion

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:35

And just like, you know, look at this, I would never have thought

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:41

And here we

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:42

either.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:42

I worked there and it's so

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:44

true.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:44

at what could happen.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:45

Look what God did.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:47

Look what

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:47

Aaron did.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:48
