How's your week going?

Chelsey Donn: 00:01:58

my week is clicking along Trey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:01

Click cl

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:02

You know, I was traveling Trey and I got to see each other in person and do

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:09

And we can't wait to share all those photos with you, but the traveling bit

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:19

let's do it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:19

Chelsey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:02:20

Do you need to

VOICEOVER: 00:02:21

Lodge Complaint.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:22

do.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:23

I don't think I can wait a moment longer.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:24

So I was flying out to Newark.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:27

There were thunderstorms, we got delayed in the air.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:31

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:32

13 hours, 13 to 14 hours of being on the plane, which, which should not have been

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:40

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:41

So there's that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:42

But then like 12 of those hours were in the air and I feel like it's excruciating to be on the

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:54

It's very like nausea, inducting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:02:58

So anyway, we land and we're waiting for another hour, of course, to like get to our gate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:04

The woman in the row next to me on the left side had like a baby with her.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:11

The baby was like mostly fine the entire time.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:13

And then she decided that after flying for, you know, almost 14 hours, what everybody on the plane

Trey Gerrald: 00:03:24

oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:25

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:26

Now the Complaint is about baby shark.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:28

That all was a little bit of like a lead up.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:32

Everybody knows I'm not gonna sing the song, cuz I don't wanna ruin your day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:37

I'm just gonna say baby shark.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:39

But at this point, everybody knows that is mental warfare.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:44

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:45

You say that to someone you're gonna ruin the rest of their day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:48

So like my day was already ruined.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:50

I didn't need the additional topping of baby shark.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:55

I, I mean what a move truly what?

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:58

A move.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:58

Maybe they were desperate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:03:59

You think they were desperate at that point?

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:01

Cuz of the baby.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:02

two points here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:03

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:04

I haven't had to circle for that long, you know, Kena Hora, but there is something maddening when

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:13

you're not moving.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:15

wow, we're just like literally looping.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:18

There's something really scary to

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:19

it is, yeah, it was creepy.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:21

I'm trapped, I'm a prisoner and we're in the air and

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:26

It's.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:26

And eventually we will run on the fuel, which we did.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:30

And then baby shark.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:32

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:32

There's something about that tune that is so maddening.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:36

maddening.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:37

Maddening.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:37

with my nephews, like I'm very aware of like, I don't wanna start it because

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:48

It's the new, like, this is the song that never ends.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:52

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:53

But that's my Complaint.

Chelsey Donn: 00:04:54

What's going on in your life.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:56

All right, I'm gonna do it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:04:58

I have sat on this Complaint for a very long time and I'm going to be vulnerable

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:12

So you listeners, if you've been listening for a while, you might, um, have heard me

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:22

And you might also like try to track something and get a little bit confused.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:27

So I'm gonna go ahead and Lodge this Complaint.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:29

I need to Lodge a Complaint against this cultural co-sign that we all have, that it's

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:44

Cause I am gonna Lodge a Complaint here because during the pandemic.

Chelsey Donn: 00:05:49

yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:50

and I moved out of New York city and we actually reside in the

Trey Gerrald: 00:05:58

I have, have always felt a little sense of feelings about declaring that I live in New

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:19

I don't know why that is, but it's like, we all agree that like we can make a joke about

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:27

And here I am with the Complaint is that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:30

Lie.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:31

I don't say that I live in New Jersey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:33

I say I live in New York and this came up for Chelsey and I, when we went to that

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:42

And I would say that I was still in Manhattan because it felt like we were on the two coasts.

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:48

And so as I'm like evolving and I'm starting to recognize, I'm putting

Trey Gerrald: 00:06:54

I feel like there is a character assessment or a character assassination that's gonna.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:00

Said or thought when I say I am from New Jersey, because people in

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:08

When you say anything about New Jersey, it's like, it's like an automatic reflex.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:13

When you say the state of New Jersey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:16

Oh, I feel sorry for you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:18

There's like always, it's a loaded contribution to any conversation.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:22

And I'm interested to bring this up with you, Chelsey, cuz you were from

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:26

So I'm curious how you feel in this conversation, but I'm lodging a Complaint that I have been

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:36

Now comedy back.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:37

My Complaint today is this hate on New Jersey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:41

Why is there New Jersey shame and why is there New Jersey hate?

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:44

And I'm gonna declare from this episode forward, I'm gonna be honest and transparent that I live in

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:52

12 years, but I don't even need to say that, cuz I say that as a sense of pride, that is irrelevant.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:59

It doesn't matter.

Trey Gerrald: 00:07:59

So I live in New Jersey Chelsey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:01

What are your thoughts on this cultural agreement to make fun of New Jersey?

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:04

So many thoughts are going through my mind.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:06

First thought is like, welcome.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:09

Like you're like a baby in the world.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:12

It makes me actually feel like seen that you are acknowledging this, cuz

Trey Gerrald: 00:08:19

Like a little more than a year

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:20

right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:21

And I've lived in New Jersey for my I for my entire childhood.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:24

And I'm from there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:25

And I had a similar lie that I would tell all the time, which is, I always tell people

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:37

And I was constantly attacked by the people that lived in like the Philadelphia suburbs.

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:45

Like there were people that would live on the main line or wherever, and they would

Chelsey Donn: 00:08:57

Cuz they're technically like still in the state of Pennsylvania.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:00

They're allowed to say that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:02

But people would, when they would find out that I lived in Jersey and I was in cherry hill,

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:08

You're in Jersey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:09

Like it was a whole thing.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:10

Jersey is the armpit of America.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:13

Have you heard that one?

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:14

I have, yeah,

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:15

the whole place smells like trash that comes from like, I

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:21

there is.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:22

it's like above a trash dump, but yeah, I totally feel you,

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:32

You can just put Jersey in a sentence and all of a sudden add a laugh track

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:37

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:37

But ink,

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:38

like you said, in the musicals, it's like buddies from Jersey

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:43

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:09:43

And it always gets a

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:45

know, and it always gets a laugh, whatever.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:48

But yeah, the I've been facing this my entire life.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:52

There's a certain amount of shame that comes from living in New Jersey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:09:55

And I had a good childhood and also New Jersey is so vast, right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:01

Like I think the Jersey shore did us a real disservice, like after the Jersey

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:08

I was gonna tell people that I was from New Jersey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:11

Yeah,

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:11

It's like people say.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:13

You see a cow every day, you know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:16

And then you like, think about it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:18

Oh, Donn, nobody ever told you that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:20

Think about it, listeners, you supposedly see a cow every day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:23

Now that can be a real cow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:25

That can be on a television, a commercial of the cow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:28

It can be cow print.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:30

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:31

But the idea is that you see a cow every day and once you pay attention to it, you start

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:41

And I feel like if you pay attention listeners, you'll hear a Jersey joke almost every day.

Chelsey Donn: 00:10:46

Whether it be on television on the street somewhere, it is like

Trey Gerrald: 00:10:53

yeah, there were a bunch of tabloid articles about Cardi B making an Instagram post

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:01

And it was actually like Englewood, like, and then, so then everyone

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:08

So that's my Complaint.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:10

I'm gonna, um, be more conscious about.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:13

proud and also like, so let's just like take a quick side note.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:17

I don't know the whole list, but there are a lot of celebrities, famous

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:24

I think like there, like there's a lot of us from Jersey that are going strong.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:28

So let's rewrite the narrative together.

Trey Gerrald: 00:11:31

I would imagine that the joke is because it's right next to New York and New

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:45

Yeah, exactly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:46

Like there's other big cities.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:47

Like if you live like outside of Atlanta, are people like making fun of where you live?

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:53

Like, I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:55

It's or I don't know if that works.

Chelsey Donn: 00:11:57

It it's interesting because it's a state that is so close to two large cities.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:02

I think that that's like the stain of it because, oh, like you can't hack it in New York.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:08

You can't afford New York real estate.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:10

You can't, whatever you go to Jersey, like, you know, you, you wanna have a more suburban

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:16

Like you live in south Jersey, I don't know,

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:18

But that it's funny, you mentioned the sulfur trash mail off one of

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:28

So I didn't know anything about New Jersey and one of my first exposures was like going

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:36

And it does smell meanwhile, New Jersey state motto as the garden state.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:43

for our tomatoes, which are delicious.

Chelsey Donn: 00:12:45

And they're in season now try, you should get

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:47

Everyone do that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:49

So it listeners, if you have any opinions or thoughts on New Jersey shame or New Jersey

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:56

I'm gonna own New Jersey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:58

Now.

Trey Gerrald: 00:12:58

I'm gonna stop lying that I live in New York.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:00

Although I did live in New York when we started the podcast.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:02

No, I didn't.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:04

No, I didn't.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:04

I already

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:05

but you did live in New York for over a decade.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:08

doesn't matter.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:09

That is all sort of like trying to get clout for something that is

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:12

My mother still says she's from New York.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:14

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:15

like, I mean, she is from there.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:19

that's my Complaint.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:20

Hazah New Jersey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:22

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:23

HAA, indeed.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:25

Great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:25

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:26

That got extra heated.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:28

Um, that kind of made me like, feel like I wanted to get in the ring and fight.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:31

You know what I mean?

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:32

Oh, well, let's lace up our

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:33

wanted to be like New Jersey verse, New York.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:36

Let's do it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:38

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:38

Well, let's go head to head today Chelsey because it is yet again, another versus episode.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:44

Woohoo.

Chelsey Donn: 00:13:44

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER: 00:13:46

Says that Kvetch.

Trey Gerrald: 00:13:47

So today, Chelsey and I are going to go head to head as we cover both a

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:04

We've done a lot of talking about Yelp elites on this podcast, and we're gonna do a deep

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:14

So for this versus episode, Trey selected the five star

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:20

So to determine who reads first, we gotta flip that quota.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:24

Here we go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:25

Who's guessing you

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:27

Oh, do I guess?

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:28

guess?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:29

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:29

I'm gonna say tails.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:31

It's tails.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:33

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:33

So we're gonna hear the five star first.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:36

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:36

Try.

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:37

What is the topic of choice?

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:38

So today we are both covering reviews from this Yelp elite reviewer, ABC.

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:45

So at the time of this recording C has 665 reviews, 1,898 photos,

Chelsey Donn: 00:14:57

What

Trey Gerrald: 00:14:58

180 followers

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:01

that's a lot.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:02

and 4,032 friends on Yelp.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:06

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:07

C joined Yelp in 2007, they wrote their 500th review in the year 2012.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:14

And Amy C has received over 8,000 Yelp compliments and over 20,000 useful,

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:29

Interesting to note useful was their most at nearly 8,000 votes, but don't let that sway

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:38

You'll determine how useful C is.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:40

So Amy C's most common rating is three stars.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:45

Amy C's Yelp quote on their profile is quote unquote wander last.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:51

So with all of that background info, let's go ahead and do it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:15:54

Let's get into this versus battle.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:56

I'm so ready.

Chelsey Donn: 00:15:57

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER: 00:16:00

Review That Review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:05

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:05

So today I have the five star for C, obviously from Yelp and written by C and today I'm

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:20

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:20

which was selected by Yelp as the review of the day in 2012.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:26

So this review is for it's for the veggie grill in Los Angeles.

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:34

I love veggie grill.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:35

The one on Wilshire.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:37

And this is the review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:39

Here we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:39

There's no subject

Chelsey Donn: 00:16:41

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:43

asterisk, 500th asterisk.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:47

I saved veggie grill for my milestone review because this place is stellar on all levels.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:55

From the super friendly service to the insanely.

Trey Gerrald: 00:16:59

Delicious, vegetarian fair.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:02

You can't go wrong at VG.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:05

Trust me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:06

I'm not a vegetarian by any means.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:09

And it took a while before my BF could convince me to try this place.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:14

Fake meat, no meat.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:18

Are you kidding me?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:20

I try to vegan joint in Santa Monica once, and it was quite tasteless since then.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:25

I've distanced myself from all those non meat type places.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:30

Finally, I relented.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:32

How bad could it be?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:34

My first trip was on a weekend during lunch, as we pulled up into the back parking lot, I

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:45

I mean, how bad could it be?

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:47

If all these people were going, I ordered the Santa Fe crispy chicken with a side of coleslaw.

Trey Gerrald: 00:17:55

Fried quote, unquote chicken with lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:01

It came with a side of spicy vegan Mayo.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:04

The food arrived, and I dug in.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:06

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:07

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:07

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:08

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:18:09

Wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:10

Dot, dot, dot.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:11

What?

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:12

How is this possible?

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:14

This shit was amazing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:17

I couldn't even tell it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:18

Wasn't chicken.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:20

Tempe.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:21

You are now my friend, since this first visit, I've been back too many times to count.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:28

How can I resist food that tastes good and is good for you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:34

Other highlights are the grilling chicken, sweetheart fries, coli, mashed potatoes and kale.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:41

You can't go wrong with the damn kale.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:43

I've asked for my sandwiches to be made kale style instead of on the bun, kale lovers.

Trey Gerrald: 00:18:49

Rejoice, I'll be back again and again, this is definitely a successful restaurant and

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:02

year was this written?

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:04

This review was written on April 27th, 2012.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:09

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:11

It definitely has expanded quite a bit.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:13

expanded.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:14

It's definitely expanded.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:15

So ABC gets points for that prediction.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:18

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:19

I agree.

Trey Gerrald: 00:19:19

Yes,

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:20

I thought that this was a good review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:22

I thought that it was well written.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:25

The spelling and grammar seemed good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:29

Coherent.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:30

I thought it was sort of sweet that they said it was their 500th review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:33

Like I know I was annoyed at that for another review, but maybe I'm softening cuz

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:42

I like that they like told us it was crowded.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:45

And also I really like that they did that opposite of a compliment sandwich for

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:54

I wasn't in like I've been to vegan restaurants before.

Chelsey Donn: 00:19:58

I'm not a fan cuz I thought that was a really interesting perspective for someone that might

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:06

That was like useful and, and helpful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:09

And I liked the entire experience with the boyfriend and they mentioned what they

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:17

Keywords.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:17

keyword.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:18

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:19

The only thing I thought was, was like, iffy, is that good for you?

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:23

Part of it because veggie girl is sort of known as it's like vegan junk food.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:30

It's like vegan, fast food.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:32

And so I Donn don't necessarily know that it's good for you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:35

That being said, C did follow up by saying that they wrap, you know, their

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:42

So it is possible to eat healthy here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:20:45

So I wasn't sure if I should give a knock for that, you know, because maybe

Trey Gerrald: 00:20:55

Interesting point though, cuz I feel that this whole review is really obviously from

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:04

So I do think that it is very valuable.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:07

If you find yourself in the same camp, if you feel like, uh, like why would I go to a V

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:14

So I, so I think that's very valuable.

Trey Gerrald: 00:21:17

My question is, is this valuable if you are already vegetarian and you've never heard or been

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:31

Yeah, I think it's, yeah, it's positive to hear if I were, if I, I mean,

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:53

I'm trying to think about what is missing from Amy C's review, I guess.

Chelsey Donn: 00:21:57

Like, I do think it was pretty solid if I wanted something else from this review considering,

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:06

Were there photos as well?

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:07

Cuz

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:08

so there's not a photo, but it does at the very end.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:11

I didn't know if I should read this or not.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:13

It does say picks dash and then it's like a bit dot Lee.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:18

so maybe.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:20

Oh,

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:20

Maybe this is back in the day before you could post pictures

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:24

Do you wanna copy that link?

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:25

And can you copy it?

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:27

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:27

Just clicked it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:28

Let's see if it,

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:28

That would be hilarious if it was like an album of, of C at veggie grill.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:34

oh, this, okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:36

So this is, I'm gonna share the screen because this is very bizarre.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:39

So this actually leads to Amy C's blog.

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:45

Hmm.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:47

So there are images here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:49

It looks like very early Instagram where the border

Chelsey Donn: 00:22:52

So is the blog, are they leading us to a blog article about veggie grill?

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:58

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:22:59

And it was written the same day, but it's a different, it's not copy

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:06

Is there like a link there's probably a link in there to their Yelp view.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:09

Maybe I, I kind of respect that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:11

That means that C isn't just like a blogger.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:15

Who's trying.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:16

I mean, she is hustling by putting the link to the blog.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:18

At first, I was like, maybe I'm a little turned off, but then, because the link does

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:28

And then on their blog, it links to veggie grill.com

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:34

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:34

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:35

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:35

That's sort of, queenly

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:37

are pretty.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:38

I wonder why they didn't put them on Yelp, Yelp.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:40

maybe like you said, in 2012 or whatever, maybe you couldn't

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:44

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:44

I don't know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:45

you think that they're a little shady that they're trying to

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:49

Like, if you,

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:50

I'm just curious.

Chelsey Donn: 00:23:52

has to say then, is it bad that that ABC is using it to draw an audience to her blog?

Trey Gerrald: 00:23:59

I think it's very entrepreneurial,

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:01

yeah, I'm okay with it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:03

but given the fact that C has like 2000 photos on Yelp, maybe they

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:10

I'm not sure about Yelp in 2012, but spelling a grammar I say is great.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:15

It is like, um, indented in really beautiful ways.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:17

So it's easy to read.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:19

I think it's truthful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:21

I, I think the fact that Amy is leading, like you said, with the negative sandwich

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:26

I've had bad experiences.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:28

Meanwhile, I was overwhelmingly blown away and now I go back all the time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:24:33

Like I believe

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:34

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:34

I believe that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:35

And there is also something interesting about the fact that Amy is like, I save

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:48

I mean, obviously we have a One-Star-Zinger review coming up, but it makes me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:24:53

highly of ABC because she wanted to reserve that 500th spot for a positive experience, as

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:09

That's kind of queenly

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:11

Were you entertained here as there?

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:12

Humor?

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:14

I think I did laugh sometimes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:17

Yeah, but it didn't feel genuine to me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:18

I felt like you were just like encouraging me as the reader.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:22

Maybe I was just laughing at your reading cuz I really did think you did a good job.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:26

Thank thank you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:28

You know, your first question here was like, what's sort of missing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:30

And to me, I, I think that like I get personality.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:34

It is an easy read.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:35

I also like, think the impact is like, I'm feeling positive towards veggie grill, but I don't

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:43

I appreciate all of the suggestions of food.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:47

So I, I don't know that I'm missing anything, even though I don't think there

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:52

Right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:54

Yeah,

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:55

I Donn, I think I might be ready to crown Amy say

Trey Gerrald: 00:25:58

I think so too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:25:59

for this, for this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:00

Uh, and I'm just gonna keep in mind as I'm crowning that, you know, I'm gonna, if this

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:13

all right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:13

That's.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:14

you know?

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:15

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:16

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:16

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

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:23

We will simultaneously reveal our ratings.

VOICEOVER: 00:26:28

The Queens are Tabulating.

Trey Gerrald: 00:26:35

Oh my gosh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:36

my God, the Queens are unanimous four and a half crowns, four and a half crowns.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:40

So I went with four and a half crowns, cuz I feel like Amy C is a Yelp elite.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:45

I really needed to be a knee slapper.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:48

You know like I'm hysterical.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:51

Like it has like, I like a real, real visceral punch for me to give C a Review Queen here.

Chelsey Donn: 00:26:58

But I will say very solid review ticked all the marks.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:03

I was trying to be hard on C for saying, did she miss something?

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:08

But she really didn't.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:09

She, she hit everything.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:11

We would want, her spelling was great.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:13

There was value.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:14

There, there was information there felt truthful.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:17

It felt common.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:19

And there was an, there was an impact.

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:21

So I think ABC really, she did great on everything, but humor, even though there

Chelsey Donn: 00:27:29

What about you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:31

so similar reasonings, but a different reason, different topic here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:36

I just said four and a half, because I think it's such a strong, solid, amazing review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:40

Obviously Yelp made it the review of the day.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:44

The only reason I took half of a crown away.

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:47

I I'm very curious about why they didn't post the pictures that they

Trey Gerrald: 00:27:56

I, I don't, I'm not making a judgment call and if I think that's entrepreneurial or if

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:05

I Donn Donn don't know when images were added as a feature to Yelp, but I know

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:12

So, and obviously ABC did because they posted images along with this narrative on their blog.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:18

So I'm, I took half off, cuz I don't know why you didn't include it on Yelp.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:23

Cuz the images look beautiful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:25

They make me feel a little hungry and that's the only really thing That's keeping

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:31

Cuz I want the evidence since you went out of your way to create it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:34

So why did you not include it?

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:35

So that's why I did four and a half

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:37

So if me C had put the link there and included the photos,

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:46

Yes, honestly.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:48

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:49

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:49

Fair enough.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:51

Great review Trey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:52

Why?

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:53

Thank you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:28:54

I love veggie grow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:56

I do too.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:57

I really am a big fan of veggie girl.

Chelsey Donn: 00:28:59

I like the, like you guys remember back in the day when McDonald used to have those like snack wraps.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:05

So they have like their version of the snack wraps and that's usually what I get.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:08

Cause they're so good.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:10

Love a snack wrap.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:12

all right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:12

Well, let's take a quick break.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:15

let take a snack

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:16

let's take a snack break and get some snack wraps.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:19

We're gonna order veggie grill on Uber, except we don't have them in New Jersey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:24

I'll send some to you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:25

And in the meantime, when we come back after this break,

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:31

So when we come back after being satiated with our snack wraps, we're gonna hear

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:42

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:43

Do you know Amy C do you think, you know, Amy C do you guys think, you know, Amy C

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:47

well, I know this one starts coming, so I'm a little anxious,

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:50

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:51

see.

Trey Gerrald: 00:29:52

All right, we'll be right

Chelsey Donn: 00:29:53

and hide.

VOICEOVER: 00:29:58

Hold your crown.

VOICEOVER: 00:29:59

We'll be right back.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:26

Oh my God.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:28

It's game time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:30

ChelseyBD and on honor of our new found games, I've created yet another game that

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:42

Oh my God.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:43

Is it an elite or is it a PE,

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:48

Isn't an elite

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:49

review or a PE, which

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:51

Ooh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:52

I love this.

Trey Gerrald: 00:30:53

you're gonna have to tell me if this is an elite reviewer or if this is

Chelsey Donn: 00:30:57

A ER, if this is a ER,

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:00

a puer,

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:01

Ooh,

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:02

to, um, rhyme review

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:06

I'm gonna do pier.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:07

I like, I mean, I like reviewer or pier

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:10

review or PE you,

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:12

review or PE.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:13

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:13

Yay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:15

We all get it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:15

Does everybody playing along at home?

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:18

I literally did write this as elite or PE and that's not rhyming.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:22

That's not the game that we've set up.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:25

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:25

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:26

So obviously listeners are gonna play along where I'm gonna read something

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:34

And at the end of the third beep you have to say reviewer or ER, So there's

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:42

What I did is I searched through Yelp, both elite reviewers and non elite

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:49

So this is all information gathered from the profile.

Trey Gerrald: 00:31:52

And you're gonna tell me based on those things, if it's a reviewer, that's an elite, or if it's a ER,

Chelsey Donn: 00:31:59

so is this like from their bio?

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:01

Like you're telling me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:02

it's all sorts of things you're gonna you're I think

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:07

All right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:32:07

I'm ready?

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:08

Okay, here we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:08

So Chelsey it's time for us to play.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:12

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:14

Who is it?

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:16

A P all right, here we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:22

First one, Scotty w has 61, 5 star reviews and 90 useful votes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:35

Trey Gerrald: 00:32:57

Yelp quote is always in the mood for eating food and they have 79, 3 star reviews.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:07

Is Emily G an elite reviewer or a PE viewer?

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:11

Ooh, reviewer,

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:19

Wait, elite

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:20

like elite reviewer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:21

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:25

I'll say, I bet you that I bet you, they have a lot of photos, cuz

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:38

And because of their little quote line, I thought this is someone that probably

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:44

But that's just 79, 3 star reviews.

Trey Gerrald: 00:33:48

They have like 800 million other star reviews.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:51

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:52

Good to know.

Chelsey Donn: 00:33:53

Oh.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:19

This is very interesting because I wanna say they're a reviewer

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:24

And how could you have so many cool votes unless you're writing so many reviews, but I

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:32

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:35:33

I'm gonna say, or

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:36

correct.

Trey Gerrald: 00:35:39

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:14

That's

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:14

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:18

I Donn don't think this has ever

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:20

Evelyn F has three One-Star-Zinger reviews and 56 funny votes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:27

happened.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:28

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:33

Ooh, elite reviewer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:40

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:43

Oh my God.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:48

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:49

I really feel like I've studied for the SATs.

Chelsey Donn: 00:36:51

Just like the amount of times I've read Yelp reviews.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:54

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:36:55

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:07

Chelsey is Tori H an elite reviewer or a ER

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:20

Oh my God.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:23

Oh my God.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:23

Uh, I have four more, but we have to do them all because I don't know what's happening to you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:30

This is we're like we've spent too much time as like partners.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:33

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:34

Here's another one so far.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:36

You've gotten every single one, right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:39

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:39

This is YNY H YNY H has 13, three star reviews and 36 funny votes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:37:49

Chelsey is YNY H and elite reviewer, or a PE viewer.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:55

oh God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:37:59

Elite reviewer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:01

Yes,

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:02

Oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:26

oh Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:30

You're really trying to lead me one way.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:32

And I Donn know if you're trying to trick me or if you've tricked me into thinking,

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:40

No,

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:41

you were trying to trick me into tricking myself.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:45

that's one wrong.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:46

Oh, I almost said

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:47

doing so well.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:49

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:49

We have two more.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:50

Here we go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:51

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:51

Well that was such an obvious PE or I thought must be a trick.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:56

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:38:57

I should've

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:57

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:38:57

Here we go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:00

Van end, quote, w.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:05

Yelp profile quote is I calls it as I seize it and they have 39 funny votes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:13

Is van honest a w an elite reviewer or a ER?

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:25

Yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:26

Ooh, God, thank God.

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:27

I'm back.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:28

Here's the final one?

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:30

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:31

Stephanie U Stephanie U's Yelp profile quote is I try

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:40

Exclamation mark and Stephanie U has 48.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:43

Cool votes Chelsey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:46

Donn is Stephanie U an elite reviewer or a PE or

Chelsey Donn: 00:39:55

I think they're an elite reviewer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:39:58

so this was the trick question, but I think you're gonna get the point.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:01

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:03

Because Stephanie, you was

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:06

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:06

And then they took him away, took it

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:08

but is no longer an elite reviewer.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:11

So diva, you got 10

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:14

Out of 11,

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:15

of 11

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:16

I'm pretty proud of that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:18

Chelsey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:18

That was remarkable.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:20

I should have gone with my gut on the other one, but it's okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:22

It's okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:24

Thank you.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:24

That was remarkable.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:26

If you were listening, how did you do, did you do as well as I did?

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:30

Do you spend as much time on Yelp as I do?

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:32

I doubt it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:33

I mean, not that you did well, but that you spend as much time as I did.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:36

That was fun.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:37

Trey.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:38

I lo Trey has been creating these games behind my back.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:42

You guys, I had no idea this was coming just to make that clear

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:45

That's right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:46

And you really excelled.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:48

what a great game.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:49

I love it.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:49

Thanks Trey.

Trey Gerrald: 00:40:51

Good job diva.

Chelsey Donn: 00:40:52

And now we're gonna find out if we really know me C.

VOICEOVER: 00:40:55

That Review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:01

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:02

We are back from that game break where Chelsey excelled.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:05

And now it's your turn diva.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:08

Yeah, it's my turn.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:10

And now we're gonna see, is this the same C that we saw earlier?

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:14

Or is this a different C

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:16

Hmm.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:17

I'll let you be the judge.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:19

This is ABC's One-Star-Zinger review of pep boys.

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:25

Oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:26

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:26

Is Pepboys the ones that, that has like the Larry moan curly kind

Trey Gerrald: 00:41:30

I think so.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:31

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:31

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:32

I do love that branding.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:33

Anyway.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:34

I don't know any history about Pepboys, but this is Amy C's One-Star-Zinger you of pep boys.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:40

Here we go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:42

Fuck these lying assholes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:46

I had my breaks done here in July and noticed some weird clanking sound.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:51

Whenever I was driving.

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:52

Well, I took it back after a few weeks, since the sound wouldn't go away,

Chelsey Donn: 00:41:59

It would be $300 to fix.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:02

I decided to wait a week later, I went back there and said the noise was getting worse.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:09

They looked at it and said that I needed to replace the struts and axles in

Trey Gerrald: 00:42:18

Oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:20

WTF.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:21

So the price went up $200 in a week.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:24

Wow.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:26

Business must be booming.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:28

Anyway, I decided not to do the service here, took it to a different auto

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:38

They told me that the clanking noise was from the brake pads not being installed

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:46

Geez WTF.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:49

So now I have to get new brake pads to fix the problem.

Chelsey Donn: 00:42:54

Explain to me why I paid $200 for new brake pads and rotors.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:01

If the shit ain't gonna be done, right, I could have fucking died.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:08

These jerk offs are a bunch of losers who don't give a shit on anything, but ripping people off,

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:22

Thanks.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:28

Oh brother.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:31

I think screaming.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:33

I'm assuming this was an all caps.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:34

I could have died.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:35

Yes,

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:38

I mean, that is like that's winning a One-Star-Zinger review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:41

It wasn't at all caps.

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:42

It was, I could, I could have fucking died with two exclamation points,

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:47

Oh,

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:48

but still

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:49

wow.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:49

This was, um, this is reminding me of the, um, what was the explicit review?

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:54

The

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:54

yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:43:55

very cussy cussy

Chelsey Donn: 00:43:57

I know Amy C I thought I knew you

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:00

oh, we also didn't even mention this, but we did one of ABC's reviews on

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:07

So if you aren't a member of the Patreon, you, you like

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:10

and you want a little more C in your

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:13

That's how we got to this idea, cuz we thought ABC was so entertaining.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:16

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:17

First of all, I am very confused.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:20

I am someone that could be swindled when it comes to a car situation.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:23

So I Donn don't know what a suspension means.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:26

I don't know what struts or axles are.

Chelsey Donn: 00:44:30

Mm-hmm

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:30

So to me, I'm sort of like, wait, what, I, I can assume what a break

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:42

So like who's right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:43

Which is very stressful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:45

I just wanna zoom out a little bit because how do we know that pep boys is the one that's lying,

Trey Gerrald: 00:44:55

Like I recognize C's they went back and that it was different the second time.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:00

So that's very, like, I'm just, I don't know what's going on.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:04

So I Donn don't know if C is correct or not, but I get that C is very angry and very upset.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:11

I mean the key takeaway here for me and, and it's easy to sort of like miss,

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:21

But the idea is we went to pep boys and we had our breaks done.

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:28

All

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:29

then.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:30

We notice some weird clanking sound and then we're coming back and they're blaming it on other

Trey Gerrald: 00:45:35

something else

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:36

And then when we go to another, that costs money.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:39

And then when we go somewhere else, they're like, oh, it's the breaks that are messed up.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:43

And the brake pad wasn't put on.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:44

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:45

So that's why I think ABC is so mad because like this imminent danger that C was put in

Chelsey Donn: 00:45:57

And not only did, when she went back and said, something's wrong, not only did

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:07

But they were trying to blame other things for the rattling noise.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:12

And I would imagine I could be wrong, but I would imagine that ABC probably had the next

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:20

And then the car was probably fine.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:23

I mean, now that

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:24

a leap.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:25

but now that you're pointing all that out, I did miss that detail at

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:32

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:33

Like I had my breaks done here in July is like the key point,

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:37

Well, is that true?

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:38

Do we think that that's truthful or is that shady?

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:40

I think it's probably truthful.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:42

That would be quite a crazy lie.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:44

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:44

I think it would be a totally crazy lie.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:46

I don't.

Chelsey Donn: 00:46:47

I mean,

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:47

the idea, it isn't now this is a very interesting point because if you took

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:56

They, you go and they tell you it's something else.

Trey Gerrald: 00:46:58

Then you come back, they tell you it's something different, that's more money.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:00

And then you go to a different place altogether and they tell you that the

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:06

That's outrageous.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:07

right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:08

Yes.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:09

Can you actually get into a car rack if there's something up with your brake pads,

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:12

you kidding?

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:13

Like, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:13

You can get into a car wreck if there's anything wrong with your brakes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:17

Cuz if you can't like break.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:19

Well, is that what a brake pad does?

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:21

I don't know,

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:22

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:23

I think that's like part of, yes.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:24

It's part of.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:25

on a bicycle, like the little like P

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:28

It it's part of like the mechanism that makes, that keeps your break from like,

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:42

brake pad.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:42

a, that's a like needs a new break pad.

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:46

Do you think that's common practice for like these types of places to like install

Trey Gerrald: 00:47:52

Cause C is saying the new place they went told them the brake pads were installed incorrect.

Chelsey Donn: 00:47:58

Oh, do you think that they're like also like

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:03

Well, no, my question is, did pep boys install it incorrectly to

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:12

oh,

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:13

tell you it's the suspension and charge you $500.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:15

well that would be very shady if that were the case.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:19

What were you get?

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:20

What were you getting from this?

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:22

That it was installed incorrectly and then they just,

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:25

Yeah, it was installed incorrectly and that they didn't wanna like own up

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:31

So instead of just like owning up to what was, what the mistake was, they were like, oh, there's

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:38

Well, that is a really good point.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:40

What if, what if it was innocent and then you've come back and they look and they're

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:46

Correct.

Trey Gerrald: 00:48:46

Do you tell the customer that something

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:49

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:50

You just say like, you don't say there's something dangerous.

Chelsey Donn: 00:48:53

Like if, if that happened to me, I feel like, and I was like working in the back

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:01

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:01

Like we're gonna take another look at the breaks, make sure that everything is tightened properly.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:05

Like maybe one of the screws got loose.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:07

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:08

Like some, like make, you know, you can say things to not make it sound like

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:14

Like you can explain it a way in a way.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:16

That's like, oh, that shouldn't be that way.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:18

Let me look into that for you.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:19

Oh, here you go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:20

All better now.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:21

Like, you know what I mean?

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:23

Or the other extreme where you say it's something completely

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:27

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:28

I mean, I believe C in this and I, I think, I believe them separate from

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:39

So that is interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:40

But I also understand being exceedingly angry about this circumstance.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:45

Like, are you kidding me?

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:46

I brought this here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:47

Cuz you're the professional.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:49

right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:50

Do we think this is common?

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:51

Hmm.

Trey Gerrald: 00:49:53

I would imagine break pads are common.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:55

Brake pads are definitely common.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:56

I don't know if this scenario is common.

Chelsey Donn: 00:49:59

I think it's really hard to trust people that are working on your cars.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:03

And I will say that this would be impactful for me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:06

Like if I read something like this

Trey Gerrald: 00:50:08

yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:08

I had an idea like this place.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:10

Might be shady.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:12

I think I wouldn't go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:13

Or if I was gonna go, I would definitely like have to bring someone with me that

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:21

In fact, something like this happened to me once, not at a pep boys, but

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:27

And like, I needed to get a new tire cuz the tread was low.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:31

And then, you know, they're like, you also need a realignment.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:33

You also needed this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:34

You also, and, and like, I just paid for it, you know, because like, I don't know any better

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:41

So you're gonna say, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:42

So I do think reading reviews for these kind of places is super important because

Chelsey Donn: 00:50:56

So I think it's valuable to know like if there was something shady going on at this location, okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:03

Maybe I'm not gonna go there.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:04

And I think ABC is gonna impact a lot of people to not go to Pepboys.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:09

I think that's the impact for me too, is like something shady was occurring,

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:22

Two different

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:23

visits, and then you go to a whole other location and they tell you it's something

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:27

It's the same issue that you kind of started with?

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:30

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:31

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:32

makes me feel like I am not gonna go here.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:35

I mean, I do think the humor in this was like calling these mechanics jerk off losers.

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:40

I just think it's like so random, like.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:43

it was provocative.

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:45

I'll give Amy C that there was, it was

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:47

Amy is like stomping their foot in the sand, wanting attention,

Trey Gerrald: 00:51:55

Like

Chelsey Donn: 00:51:55

again, like you said, on the other one where the other of you where everything

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:02

Like, we definitely had some, all caps moments, but like it was mixed in throughout.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:07

It looks nice.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:09

And because C I mean really divided us into paragraphs and areas and

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:17

It doesn't look like a crazy person rant.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:21

interesting.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:22

Oh, that's very interesting.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:23

And the first sentence, the expletive sentence is like in all

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:30

And then there's like a two space after that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:32

And then we get into the review.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:33

So it's very provocative the way it looks

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:36

and it's spelled Al right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:39

The curse words.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:39

totally spelled out in the flash, like not hiding it,

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:43

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:43

the only time we're hiding it is, you know, the WTF, but.

Trey Gerrald: 00:52:48

That's a colloquialism,

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:49

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:50

And I Donn, I think maybe even though this review, I think will be a turnoff for some people.

Chelsey Donn: 00:52:56

Cause I, I would imagine some people don't wanna have to read curse words.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:01

Maybe when they're reading reviews, there's something almost nice about the Braze Inness

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:07

full disclosure.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:08

Yeah, I have

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:10

starting at the top.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:11

So it's like, if you don't wanna read a review where there's cursing well, it's in

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:18

So just skip it,

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:20

but that, but with that, that is a thought of mine.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:23

Like I do think there is unique, valuable information in this review.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:28

And I wonder if you would lose that if you don't want to see the cussing, but

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:34

I don't know if that's a

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:35

I, I was gonna say, I also don't know, like, is it a, do you not like it?

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:40

If you're reading a review and there's cursing in it, like, does it, is it a turn off for you?

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:44

Would you not wanna read it?

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:46

I don't know that.

Chelsey Donn: 00:53:47

I don't know that that's a majority thing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:49

right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:49

I feel like we're in a culture now where like cussing isn't as big of a

Trey Gerrald: 00:53:54

Also, I don't think we have to be protective of children because I don't think like a

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:03

And then like their like fragile sense of reality is broken.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:07

You know what I mean?

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:07

Like this is like, like, I think we're all adults.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:10

If we're looking at this pep voice review, I Donn know that's my prerogative, but

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:14

We didn't do a compliment sandwich, which I usually like,

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:18

no, Amy couldn't be done with that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:19

She was, Amy was too mad.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:22

Amy could have effing died.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:24

Could have having died.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:25

I mean, it is scary.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:27

Anything to do with your brakes and your car is, is really no laughing matter.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:31

Like, yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:32

That's a bad mess up.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:34

I think I can crown this one.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:36

How do you feel?

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:37

I think I can crowd it as well.

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:39

All right, let's do it.

VOICEOVER: 00:54:40

The Queens are Tabulating

VOICEOVER: 00:54:46

to, to school.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:48

Oh, we're the same again?

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:49

Four and a half, four and a half.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:50

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:50

I really feel like Amy sees a four and a half.

Chelsey Donn: 00:54:53

Let us know why you said four and a half Trey,

Trey Gerrald: 00:54:56

I just took half off because I am not sure about the cussing.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:00

I don't know where it like falls in the world.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:03

It doesn't offend me.

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:04

right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:05

I feel like if.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:06

Like to be fully a Queen, you would just choose to not use it or like to use like asterisks or some

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:15

find a funnier.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:17

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:17

Some other like attack towards how awful this experience was.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:23

And also because of the whole conversation about like missing the

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:29

Um, but I think the ultimate payoff here is I have a large impact.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:33

I, I think that this pep boy's location may deal in shady dealings.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:38

And that makes me feel like, well, I'm not even gonna waste my energy.

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:41

correct.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:42

So four and a half for me.

Trey Gerrald: 00:55:43

What about you?

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:44

Completely on the same page.

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:46

I just think we could have used a different tactic.

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:48

We could have used our nogging a little more.

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:51

I think I've learned that Amy, C's pretty smart and pretty clever.

Chelsey Donn: 00:55:55

And I think we didn't have to go with the cursing, but again, wasn't that offended myself.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:00

That's why I went with four and a half.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:01

I thought it was a, again, another stellar review from C.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:06

And I'm gonna go ahead and say that C deserves this elite status.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:11

What about you?

Trey Gerrald: 00:56:12

Yeah, I think, well, I think what I'm seeing from both of the stories

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:20

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:56:21

C was willing to go to a vegetarian place, even though they eat meat

Trey Gerrald: 00:56:27

And then be one over one over in such a way that they would return many times and

Trey Gerrald: 00:56:34

And similarly, I think ABC with the negative review is just so incensed in this one specific

Trey Gerrald: 00:56:43

I mean, hello.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:45

Really the review could have started there, but great job

Trey Gerrald: 00:56:50

Good job,

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:51

very good about this.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:52

What a firecracker.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:54

Um, you must be in LA.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:56

If you are, let's go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:57

Let's get a drink.

Chelsey Donn: 00:56:58

I'm gonna take your recommendation though.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:01

I'm just telling you wherever you wanna go.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:04

That's where I wanna go.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:05

good job

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:06

Good job.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:07

ABC.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:10

I write my Queen.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:11

We have reached the most Regal portion of our show.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:16

Who are you inducting for?

VOICEOVER: 00:57:20

My Royal line.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:21

All right.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:22

Today I have this really sweet story that I found online about the Owasso library.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:30

So this was a news article

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:32

Do we wanna spell that?

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:34

O Owasso O w a S S O

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:39

Okay.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:40

So yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:41

Awaso it's an Oklahoma.

Chelsey Donn: 00:57:44

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:44

So this was a Facebook post on the Oso library back in may.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:51

The post says thank you to whoever returned this copy of the book, Annie, Annie, to us.

Trey Gerrald: 00:57:59

Have you ever heard of the book, Annie, Annie by Molly Cohen?

Chelsey Donn: 00:58:02

No.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:03

me either.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:04

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:04

According to the inside pocket, this book was due back to the central library

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:21

So the story here is that the Facebook post went viral.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:25

And so a bunch of people were like, what was the late fee?

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:27

What was the late fee?

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:28

So they had to reply.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:29

And finally say for those of you who were worried about late fees, the book

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:36

So there's no way for us to tell who had checked it out, plus the library

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:45

So no worries either way.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:48

Isn't that crazy?

Chelsey Donn: 00:58:49

That's nice.

Chelsey Donn: 00:58:50

But wait, so, so the book was rent borrowed from a different library and returned to this one,

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:57

yeah, I'm unsure about that.

Trey Gerrald: 00:58:59

Cuz they tag central library.

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:02

right?

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:03

And now they're in possession of central library's book,

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:06

Right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:07

Wait.

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:08

So they returned it to the wrong place, I guess.

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:10

So did this wait, so did the, did the Owasso library return it to central library?

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:16

That's what I'm wondering,

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:18

Oh, well now this Royal Highness doesn't make any sense.

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:21

I was wanting to induct the Owasso library for being like in

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:25

well, I still think that we should induct the Awasa library for having good humor

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:34

Like I think that's pretty huge,

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:36

I agree.

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:37

right.

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:37

So I think Awaso library deserves an induction and also like, what are they, it's not their

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:44

They're just like being cheeky and fun about it.

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:47

And I do think since they tagged central library,

Chelsey Donn: 00:59:50

They're doing their due

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:51

right?

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:51

They're not like hiding this from them.

Trey Gerrald: 00:59:54

So for that reason today, I am inducting the Owasso library for putting out some

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:05

So for that reason, Owasso library, you are my Royal Highness.

Chelsey Donn: 01:00:10

Love it.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:11

There's also a little tidbit here.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:13

I want to include that.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:15

Although 47 years is a long time.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:17

Okay, wait a second.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:18

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:19

The tweet says only 46 years overdue, but then the article says 45 years.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:26

And now this fun fact says 47 years.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:28

Okay.

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:28

Regardless

Chelsey Donn: 01:00:29

Right.

Chelsey Donn: 01:00:30

Maybe it's just a time period thing.

Chelsey Donn: 01:00:31

Like

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:32

that is not a record for overdue

Chelsey Donn: 01:00:35

oh, oh,

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:36

George Washington, former president of the United States borrowed a book from the New

Trey Gerrald: 01:00:46

In fact, it was not until 2010 that the book got returned after the head librarian of

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:07

Oh, God stop.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:09

That's true.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:10

That sounds like one of those, like, you know, how Snapp facts are like sometimes they're facts

Trey Gerrald: 01:01:20

Have you ever had an overdue library book?

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:23

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:23

When I was a kid, I'm sure.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:26

But like, we used to get in trouble if we had to pay and we would have to take it out

Trey Gerrald: 01:01:34

What do you think about they're no longer being overdue fines.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:38

I think that's great.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:39

You know, where I was like, you know, where I was really problematic as a.

Trey Gerrald: 01:01:44

The

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:44

Blockbuster blockbuster.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:46

I, I racked up hundreds in late fees.

Chelsey Donn: 01:01:51

My dad would be so mad cuz we would go, we would, you know, we would go to rent a new

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:05

right?

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:06

Exactly.

Chelsey Donn: 01:02:07

like what?

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:09

Well,

Chelsey Donn: 01:02:10

my

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:11

in the meantime, if anyone has any overdue library, books just return them.

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:15

It's

Chelsey Donn: 01:02:15

Just return them.

Chelsey Donn: 01:02:15

There's no shame.

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:16

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:17

All right, Queen, we did it.

Trey Gerrald: 01:02:18

Our cover art was designed by LogoVora Bora and our theme song was written by

Trey Gerrald: 01:04:44

does veggie grill serve fries?

Trey Gerrald: 01:04:46

They do, right?

Chelsey Donn: 01:04:47

Yeah, they do.

Chelsey Donn: 01:04:48

They're good.

Chelsey Donn: 01:04:49

I think,

Trey Gerrald: 01:04:50

I remember I ate at the veggie grill because it was right next to that psychic.

Trey Gerrald: 01:04:54

I went to who kicked me out.

Chelsey Donn: 01:04:57

oh

Trey Gerrald: 01:04:57

was like on the corner.

Trey Gerrald: 01:04:58

So I like ate there first.

Chelsey Donn: 01:05:01

there used to be a veggie grill right next to my gym.

Chelsey Donn: 01:05:03

So it was like, you know, calories in calories out.
