Chelsey Donn:My week is going, you know, well, it's, it's officially like end of
Chelsey Donn:You know, I'm not going back to school or anything like that, but it's like
Chelsey Donn:Do you have that like same feeling?
Chelsey Donn:I just love the summer so much that I think when it, when I feel it ending like labor day
Trey Gerrald:I do.
Trey Gerrald:It is funny because even though I'm not in a school situation any longer, I do feel a
Trey Gerrald:And when summer is ending, I do have that sense of longing, even though I would say that
Trey Gerrald:I do have that sense of like, oh, like a sense of fun chapter is closing or something.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:In this conversation though, it's funny because we went on a walk and we took
Trey Gerrald:And it had a bunch of like Stony rocks and stuff.
Trey Gerrald:And we were the only people there.
Trey Gerrald:And so we were walking them and it's been really touching to see hunter coming out
Trey Gerrald:You know, this is the dog that we rescued who had been very clearly abused and he was.
Trey Gerrald:Like a monster on the rocks.
Trey Gerrald:He was like, so brave.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Oh,
Trey Gerrald:this whole other side of this little dog and it really is just very wonderful
Trey Gerrald:And I loved that little dog so much and just seeing him be so brave and leading
Chelsey Donn:so nice.
Chelsey Donn:I'm happy for a little hunt.
Trey Gerrald:I
Trey Gerrald:know, uh, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:so good to hear it.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, speaking of nurturing and all that, you know, sometimes you get an Instagram
Chelsey Donn:And I feel like it's too soon to say really?
Chelsey Donn:Cuz I haven't.
Chelsey Donn:Like gone down the whole thing, but you know, I've been trying, it's like, summer's ending,
Chelsey Donn:And I wanna like have a more mindful attitude around food and be like more
Chelsey Donn:And I got an ad on Instagram for this app called intent.
Chelsey Donn:Have you heard of this app?
Trey Gerrald:no, but I'm probably gonna get ads now.
Chelsey Donn:Intent intent.
Chelsey Donn:So intent.
Chelsey Donn:I already like used it once and I'm like obsessed.
Chelsey Donn:I'm doing a free trial right now.
Chelsey Donn:So I'll like report back and see how it works for me.
Chelsey Donn:But basically you answer all these questions that are like very easy and like, like pictures.
Chelsey Donn:It just, they make it very simple.
Chelsey Donn:It doesn't feel like a daunting like school process.
Chelsey Donn:Like it's just a little like quiz and you answer questions about like, what kind of food do you.
Chelsey Donn:To eat.
Chelsey Donn:Do you have any food that you don't like to eat?
Chelsey Donn:How, how experienced of a cook are you?
Chelsey Donn:Are you like a very beginner chef?
Chelsey Donn:Are you more experienced?
Chelsey Donn:Like how much time do you have what's Mo what's like most important to you basically when.
Chelsey Donn:You're feeding yourself with intention.
Chelsey Donn:Right?
Chelsey Donn:And so you answer all these questions and then questions about like your cuisine,
Chelsey Donn:And what is your goal?
Chelsey Donn:Do you wanna lose weight?
Chelsey Donn:Do you like, are you just trying to be a little healthier, whatever your goal is,
Chelsey Donn:And don't for me, like.
Chelsey Donn:Diet's a little bit of a triggering word.
Chelsey Donn:So like the recipes don't feel diety, but I can see how there's like
Chelsey Donn:And then they give you a shopping list.
Chelsey Donn:At the end of it.
Chelsey Donn:And they're like, so what's your shopping day gonna be?
Chelsey Donn:So like, if my shopping day is today, then they're like, all right, we're not
Chelsey Donn:We're gonna give you the shopping list.
Chelsey Donn:You said you were gonna shop on Monday.
Chelsey Donn:So like here's all the ingredients that you need to buy for the meals for the week.
Chelsey Donn:And then every single day it's recipes in.
Chelsey Donn:You can like, for me, I Donn I'm just like cooking for myself most of the time.
Chelsey Donn:So I don't mind leftovers.
Chelsey Donn:So you can say like, I'm good with leftovers.
Chelsey Donn:And then maybe they only give you like two variations of recipes to cook that week.
Chelsey Donn:And you like, can repeat eating them for dinner or whatever it is.
Chelsey Donn:But Ugh, I'm loving this so far.
Chelsey Donn:I haven't, you know, put it into practice, but as an app and the psychology of the
Chelsey Donn:High hopes about this.
Chelsey Donn:And I was thinking specifically of you, Trey, when I was going through the process, because
Chelsey Donn:And I think.
Chelsey Donn:That, and I'm not getting paid for this at all, but I think that maybe this could be a good app
Chelsey Donn:And it seems to give you recipes at your level.
Chelsey Donn:So you could say, you know, I'm a beginner,
Trey Gerrald:I love that
Chelsey Donn:little tip.
Trey Gerrald:I've already looked it up on my phone.
Trey Gerrald:So there we
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:Yay.
Chelsey Donn:Well,
Trey Gerrald:That was almost Royal Hennessy.
Chelsey Donn:Uh, you're right.
Chelsey Donn:But you know what?
Trey Gerrald:But we don't know
Chelsey Donn:make it a Royal Highness yet because I still haven't tested it.
Chelsey Donn:I just really like whoever did the UX, like the user experience for the
Trey Gerrald:Well, that's fun and it does feel like a new chapter.
Trey Gerrald:So it's a great time to do that.
Chelsey Donn:I think I'm gonna like do that instead of my Complaint this week is
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:Fair.
Trey Gerrald:You can
Chelsey Donn:But I don't wanna influence you.
Chelsey Donn:I want, if you would like to complain, I would love to hear anything you have to complain about.
Chelsey Donn:Always.
Chelsey Donn:I mean,
Trey Gerrald:I do think I would like to
VOICEOVER:Lodge Complaint.
Trey Gerrald:today, I really need to Lodge a Complaint against any device
Chelsey Donn:God, like a luggage or something.
Trey Gerrald:Luggage is very guilty.
Trey Gerrald:This, um, desk that I use has four spiny wheels.
Trey Gerrald:And sometimes one of the four will be sideways or like not facing the right direction, or
Trey Gerrald:And it just like stops.
Trey Gerrald:It also was really frustrating whenever you have a shopping cart.
Trey Gerrald:And one of the wheels is like Octa and it's like, ah, and you're.
Chelsey Donn:I
Trey Gerrald:The loud person in the grocery store.
Trey Gerrald:It's like, you have to go return the shopping cart.
Trey Gerrald:You can't be the person that everyone's looking at.
Trey Gerrald:Gosh, I hate that.
Chelsey Donn:That's so funny that ha I got a grocery cart at like CVS.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I was getting a bunch of stuff from my, my niece and my nephews.
Chelsey Donn:And I was like quick, quick, like creaking along like down the carts.
Chelsey Donn:And they kept like turning to people and going like, Ugh, you know, of course I got the bad cart.
Chelsey Donn:Like I was like trying to make a whole shtick of it.
Chelsey Donn:And like half of people were like, why are you talking to me?
Chelsey Donn:But I was like, self-conscious about my squeaking.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, it's just frustrating because you want it to all be in tandem and work.
Trey Gerrald:You don't want there to be something that's off.
Trey Gerrald:And then like getting stuck is very disorienting.
Trey Gerrald:Like if you're like moving along and then all of a sudden, like you can't like it's very off putting.
Chelsey Donn:You know, try maybe it's time for someone to reinvent the wheel.
Trey Gerrald:It's almost like I set you up for that joke and I didn't
Chelsey Donn:It's almost like you did.
Chelsey Donn:Um,
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Chelsey Donn:but really we gotta do better.
Chelsey Donn:I Donn, I don't know how we fix this problem other than to reinvent the wheel.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, it makes me think this has reminded me of last week's after
Trey Gerrald:Maybe it's the 360 wheels that's when they get FTA.
Trey Gerrald:Cuz I also have, my filing cabinet is on for little wheels, spinning
Trey Gerrald:Like structured.
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:And then you have to, like, you have to put a lot of energy, like trying
Trey Gerrald:Same direct, you know, it's just like to
Chelsey Donn:So it's time to reinvent the spinning wheel.
Trey Gerrald:It's the spinning wheel.
Trey Gerrald:Mm-hmm
Chelsey Donn:okay.
Chelsey Donn:Have you ever got, gotten like luggage back at, uh, from the
Trey Gerrald:and then
Trey Gerrald:it
Chelsey Donn:of your wheels is gone,
Trey Gerrald:I have.
Trey Gerrald:Yes,
Chelsey Donn:them, like throwing it out and then you're like all of a sudden
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:There, there's no way to function with.
Chelsey Donn:No, it's terrible.
Trey Gerrald:on one wrist trying to push it in the non missing leg.
Trey Gerrald:Yep.
Chelsey Donn:And we're trying to balance.
Chelsey Donn:No, it's so bad.
Chelsey Donn:You gotta pay like $8.
Chelsey Donn:You got one of those cart things.
Trey Gerrald:I would never pay for that.
Trey Gerrald:Get outta here.
Chelsey Donn:I have, you've never paid for one of those
Trey Gerrald:Metal things.
Trey Gerrald:No, wait, it's really $8
Chelsey Donn:yeah.
Trey Gerrald:to go from here to there.
Trey Gerrald:Well, I guess that's all Uber is getting here to there.
Chelsey Donn:I'm talking about the shopping cart thing at the airport
Trey Gerrald:I can't believe it's
Chelsey Donn:slide out used to be five.
Trey Gerrald:Oh my, do you know some of
Chelsey Donn:you know, what you can do is you can go out and as long as you try
Chelsey Donn:Cause they often leave them there when they're done getting the
Trey Gerrald:oh
Chelsey Donn:And then you can steal one.
Chelsey Donn:Not that I'm advising stealing, but you could rescue one.
Chelsey Donn:It's just sitting.
Trey Gerrald:Here's a funny thought process that reminded me of like some
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Aldi.
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:And then it goes back.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Which then reminded me, have you ever been to one of those grocery stores or targets a Walmart
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:So that is
Chelsey Donn:So crazy.
Trey Gerrald:I hate of these spinning wheels getting
Chelsey Donn:that.
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:I hate that.
Chelsey Donn:Like, when you like get to the, basically like where the metal detector things
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:It's just like
Chelsey Donn:something?
Chelsey Donn:They just like, stop moving.
Trey Gerrald:that's so weird.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I get it cuz people are animals and they don't return the cart, but,
Trey Gerrald:Yeah,
Chelsey Donn:huh.
Trey Gerrald:Joe, in the south, we call those buggies a shopping buggy.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, my mom calls him something recently.
Chelsey Donn:We were just talking about it, that she calls it.
Chelsey Donn:Oh God, what does she call it?
Chelsey Donn:She's gonna be upset that I don't remember
Trey Gerrald:It's one of the
Chelsey Donn:a wagon.
Chelsey Donn:A
Trey Gerrald:wagon I've heard wagon.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:It's one of those things I have to think about before I say out loud,
Chelsey Donn:Well, Trey, you didn't say umbrella or
Trey Gerrald:I thought through them before I said that, I have to say that about a cart too.
Trey Gerrald:Cuz I wanna, I just default to buggy go get a buggy.
Trey Gerrald:My mom would always say that, go get the buggy.
Chelsey Donn:Or like, so that's like, and then also like the remote or the clicker or the, you
Trey Gerrald:remote
Chelsey Donn:yeah.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Well, channel change.
Chelsey Donn:Pass the channel changer, Trey hog and the channel changer every day.
Chelsey Donn:Always hogging it.
Chelsey Donn:Pass it over.
Chelsey Donn:All right, let's pass it over to someone else.
Chelsey Donn:Shall we someone with some online reviews
Trey Gerrald:I think that's a great idea.
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Chelsey Donn:as you know, we are your trustee review Queens.
Chelsey Donn:We bring in reviews from the internet that we feel need to be inspected.
Trey Gerrald:We read you a review, break it down and rate the impact of the review
Trey Gerrald:It's a very Regal process that we like to call.
VOICEOVER:Assess that Kvetch.
Trey Gerrald:And what have you got for us today?
Trey Gerrald:Chelsey?
Chelsey Donn:Well, well, well, looks like another trip down the Yelp lane.
Trey Gerrald:Ooh.
Chelsey Donn:So today's review topic.
Chelsey Donn:I wanna give credit to friend of the pod, Thomas B, who slid into our DMS
Chelsey Donn:So what is the location you ask?
Chelsey Donn:It is the golden girls kitchen located in Los Angeles.
Chelsey Donn:Actually, I think it's technically in Beverly.
Chelsey Donn:On Bedford.
Chelsey Donn:And this is a supposed to be, have you gone to any of these places?
Chelsey Donn:Trey?
Chelsey Donn:Like I went to the Seinfeld.
Chelsey Donn:Experience.
Chelsey Donn:And it was like really cool because it was like you were in Jerry's apartment and you saw
Chelsey Donn:And these are popping up all over the place.
Chelsey Donn:Like these sort of temporary restaurants or, you know, show nostalgia.
Chelsey Donn:Have you ever been to any of these.
Trey Gerrald:No, but when I did the Warner brothers studio tour, it ends with like a picture
Trey Gerrald:And you can take a
Chelsey Donn:central perk.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:So I sat on the couch, but no, but I've heard of these golden girls.
Trey Gerrald:I've heard of the golden girls.
Chelsey Donn:Kitchen.
Chelsey Donn:So it's you buy a ticket it's it's put together by a company called bucket listers.
Chelsey Donn:And with this specific experience, the golden girls kitchen, it costs $49 a person.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Each ticket includes a 90 minute reservation.
Chelsey Donn:At the golden girl kitchen, your choice of a golden Maine and a slice of cheesecake, of
Trey Gerrald:of course.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:And there'll be additional sides, beverages, et cetera, that you can purchase there.
Chelsey Donn:So they're really marketing this event as like, if you love golden girls, you gotta come here.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:That's that's like how they're setting it up and whatever.
Chelsey Donn:So this is Hector K's One-Star-Zinger review of the golden girls kitchen from Yelp.
Trey Gerrald:perfect.
Chelsey Donn:I came here in spite of the reviews I'm here now, as I type, and I can say the
Trey Gerrald:Mmm.
Chelsey Donn:This place is a sad disaster.
Chelsey Donn:It's obvious that the people behind the popup don't know the golden girls and,
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Chelsey Donn:The food is barely edible, just barely, but I wasn't expecting fine dining.
Chelsey Donn:I came in for an immersive experience as advertised into the revered show, and that
Chelsey Donn:A half asked reproduction of the show's kitchen.
Chelsey Donn:And one of the bedrooms surrounding the dining area is all there is to see here.
Chelsey Donn:The sidewalk slash patio section is the Luna and the bar is called shady Pines, but there's
Chelsey Donn:And while there are episodes of the show playing on mute on TVs in the dining room,
Chelsey Donn:I'm typing this to the tune of on J's physical and gainers.
Chelsey Donn:I will survive.
Chelsey Donn:And other than a half hazard neon sign by the.
Chelsey Donn:And a printed banner randomly placed next to a dining booth.
Chelsey Donn:There is nothing in the place that identifies with the show.
Chelsey Donn:The staff are kind and present.
Chelsey Donn:They're doing their best, but I can't help getting the feeling that nobody involved in
Trey Gerrald:Hmm.
Chelsey Donn:It's clear that the kitchen in the very name of the popup is not run by
Chelsey Donn:or know the show at all.
Chelsey Donn:Nostalgia makes all of us pay handsomely for experiences that recreate the good times of
Chelsey Donn:I find it irresponsible and borderline abusive to charge over $50 a.
Chelsey Donn:When there is almost nothing here that commands the price, the food is not good.
Chelsey Donn:The ambiance is completely amiss and your nostalgia will not be satisfied
Chelsey Donn:I said almost because the cocktails were really stiff and the wine they sell is better than
Chelsey Donn:In addition to the experience rate one last note, when the checks for my drinks
Chelsey Donn:Come on.
Chelsey Donn:I was given an NRA branded pen in the shape of a bullet.
Chelsey Donn:To sign the check with, if there was any doubt that the people behind the popup do not know
Trey Gerrald:clientele.
Chelsey Donn:the golden girls at all this poetic piece to resistance to an embarrassingly, sorry.
Chelsey Donn:Excuse for a themed restaurant was all I needed to confirm.
Chelsey Donn:If you're a casual fan, you'll find absolutely nothing here to remind you of the.
Trey Gerrald:Do.
Chelsey Donn:if you're a hardcore fan, you'll be sad and possibly enraged at the audacity of
Chelsey Donn:And then Hector did include a photo of the NRA pen with the like check.
Trey Gerrald:It's funny when you said that I was like, what is N a.
Trey Gerrald:And then you said the bullet pin.
Trey Gerrald:I was like, oh my God, the NRA
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:NRA.
Chelsey Donn:And then it says, you know how you can like write a subject underneath photo.
Chelsey Donn:So it says embarrassing.
Chelsey Donn:And then in parenthesis it says, check whited out for privacy purposes.
Trey Gerrald:Hector.
Chelsey Donn:oh, Hector gotta love him.
Trey Gerrald:So it's funny you chose this today because literally last night
Trey Gerrald:They made a reservation at the golden girls kitchen
Chelsey Donn:Stop it, and it was not, it was not friend of the pod Thomas B.
Trey Gerrald:No.
Chelsey Donn:Oh my goodness.
Chelsey Donn:Well, it's swimming in the ether.
Trey Gerrald:But I was looking through the pictures and I even thought
Trey Gerrald:And then the,
Chelsey Donn:Oh,
Trey Gerrald:the comforter of the bed room, like, was like, wasn't
Trey Gerrald:And the wall PA, like, it looked really too dimensional and bad
Chelsey Donn:put together.
Trey Gerrald:that I was even sort of like, oh, which really comes across here in Hector's review.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, it's interesting.
Trey Gerrald:I, I feel like, because you mentioned at the beginning that it's by bucket listers.com,
Trey Gerrald:Cause because I would imagine if, if I were in this company and I were like,
Trey Gerrald:But I Donn don't have firsthand experience with, it would be Seinfeld.
Trey Gerrald:I've never seen it.
Trey Gerrald:And you're talking about the couch thing with.
Trey Gerrald:Whoever, like, I don't know what that means.
Trey Gerrald:Also.
Trey Gerrald:Like if it was like, I'm gonna make a walking dead experience, like I've never seen the show.
Trey Gerrald:I have no idea, but I, I, that's why I really loved how Hector ends with, if you're casual,
Trey Gerrald:If you're a hardcore, you're gonna be offended.
Trey Gerrald:Like, like I think that
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz I think I'm very casual when it comes to the golden girls.
Chelsey Donn:Like I watched it with grandparents like in the background, but I was very young
Chelsey Donn:Deep dive back in which I have a lot of friends that have, and then there is an entire subculture
Chelsey Donn:Obviously Betty White rest in peace was an icon.
Trey Gerrald:Did she.
Chelsey Donn:what?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:did you not know that she like missed her hundredth?
Chelsey Donn:They were supposed to do like her hundredth birthday
Trey Gerrald:about
Chelsey Donn:and then she died like right before, but they had, they had like some of the footage,
Trey Gerrald:Oh my God.
Trey Gerrald:I completely forgot about
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:They had some of the footage.
Chelsey Donn:So they like put it in a documentary.
Trey Gerrald:I feel like something horrible happened in the world, right?
Trey Gerrald:Like the next day, I feel like it got overshadowed by something.
Chelsey Donn:I, I mean, well, it was the, it was new year's Eve.
Trey Gerrald:So David and I Beed golden girls during the very beginning of the pandemic.
Trey Gerrald:And it is really, it does still hold up.
Trey Gerrald:Like I think it, I think there's a subculture of homosexual men that love it because
Trey Gerrald:Also, it was written by a lot of gay men and it would, they tackled very progressive issues.
Trey Gerrald:But comedy wise, I think it is like the gold bar of sitcom writing.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, it is literally one, two punch, every third line.
Trey Gerrald:All of those women were like so skilled and they all had very different rhythms
Trey Gerrald:Like it really is
Chelsey Donn:but like a nice like symphony of comedy.
Trey Gerrald:my God.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, it's like, you just, can't nothing will ever be like that again.
Trey Gerrald:And it still stands up.
Trey Gerrald:Like, I love Lucy as like my jam.
Trey Gerrald:That's like what taught me everything in life, but I go back and watch it and it feels very period.
Trey Gerrald:I think like the golden girls still felt, feels very current.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, it is outrageous to, to see that, but it's also funny that Hector
Chelsey Donn:It reminded me of when we'd read the review from the hotel while we
Trey Gerrald:here now.
Trey Gerrald:And this is a sad disaster.
Trey Gerrald:I wrote down sad disaster, cuz that's the most horrifying way to describe
Trey Gerrald:I mean that's so
Chelsey Donn:just love, I just, this one was in is the LA location?
Trey Gerrald:no.
Trey Gerrald:The show takes place in Miami.
Trey Gerrald:So I was saying that Miami
Chelsey Donn:in that Miami kitchen.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Oh for sure.
Chelsey Donn:But like the whole thing was so good.
Chelsey Donn:I just, I read a few other reviews, but I really liked the way Hector
Chelsey Donn:And there was something about him being there at the time, like made him feel like he was
Chelsey Donn:No, this just stuck out to me.
Chelsey Donn:So we have golden girls playing on the TVs, but we have the TVs muted.
Chelsey Donn:And then we're, we're playing music from the time period that the show had aired
Chelsey Donn:The theme of the show.
Chelsey Donn:Like, why wouldn't we just play this, the show unmuted.
Chelsey Donn:That seems like the easiest thing in the world to do.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:It honestly, when you started to go into that part of the review, I started thinking like,
Trey Gerrald:I don't even like, I don't know what wouldn't
Chelsey Donn:but it doesn't need to be music.
Chelsey Donn:It could literally just be like screens everywhere.
Chelsey Donn:Everybody's watching episode 4 0 2 or whatever it is at the same time.
Chelsey Donn:And like, it's just running the golden girls as background.
Trey Gerrald:It reminds me of, and I know that this was culturally happening.
Trey Gerrald:All over the United States of America.
Trey Gerrald:But my experience was splash.
Trey Gerrald:Gay bar in Manhattan would have a musical Monday and they just had tons of
Trey Gerrald:Like, you know, it was like a whole evening montage, basically.
Trey Gerrald:Like that's what you would, should have at the golden girls.
Trey Gerrald:It should just be like, it doesn't even have to be full episodes.
Trey Gerrald:It can be like the most famous sections in a Megamix that's playing all day.
Trey Gerrald:So everyone can quote along.
Trey Gerrald:Everyone can like, not like let's get physical or whatever.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, exactly not.
Chelsey Donn:I will survive.
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:It seems, that seems now knowing with the NRA pin that makes me feel a
Trey Gerrald:Uh, I will survive.
Trey Gerrald:They're like, what are these most offensively
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Trey Gerrald:Trop songs.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:I have a question here because Hector says that they paid over $50, but the price is fif $49.
Trey Gerrald:So is Hector including
Chelsey Donn:well, they pay no.
Chelsey Donn:Well, I think what they're saying is
Trey Gerrald:Oh, after the add-on.
Chelsey Donn:yes,
Trey Gerrald:I wrote that down.
Trey Gerrald:I hate that.
Trey Gerrald:I hate anytime there's like higher quality products a after something that
Trey Gerrald:Like that's why the wine was
Chelsey Donn:And then it's like, plus $5 or whatever.
Trey Gerrald:that's what really like struck me about Hector's narrative here is that there's
Trey Gerrald:Skin Crawley about recognizing in the moment that you've been duped by an organization
Trey Gerrald:Like I think that's why it's so
Chelsey Donn:What's behind door.
Chelsey Donn:Number one,
Trey Gerrald:That Hector is writing it in the middle of being there because it's like, oh,
Trey Gerrald:Like that's
Trey Gerrald:so weird.
Chelsey Donn:like that they pointed that out because I think that, like, that really
Chelsey Donn:Like I'm not a die hard golden girls friend fan, but I'm sure I have friends
Chelsey Donn:I would say, yes.
Trey Gerrald:yeah, why not?
Trey Gerrald:Right?
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I would think it's enough of a cultural zeitgeist type thing that
Chelsey Donn:Like it's gonna be a good time.
Chelsey Donn:Like I would think it's gonna be a good time.
Chelsey Donn:Even if I wasn't someone that like was gonna be, you know, sometimes you go to things with people
Chelsey Donn:And they're so picky because they're such a diehard fan.
Chelsey Donn:I think it's interesting to point that out.
Chelsey Donn:Like even.
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:I'm not being like annoying here cause I'm a diehard and I'm never gonna be pleased.
Trey Gerrald:Hector's saying like there's
Chelsey Donn:Like even your average person that watched the show a couple
Chelsey Donn:But if you're a fan, you're gonna be like offended and devastated.
Chelsey Donn:I really like this review.
Trey Gerrald:I like this review a lot too.
Trey Gerrald:I do think it's truthful.
Trey Gerrald:I don't even, it doesn't even really come off as shady.
Trey Gerrald:Maybe like if we're getting into like a little bit of stereotyping about what an NRA member
Chelsey Donn:I guess, but that's not even the point that Hector's making.
Chelsey Donn:They're just saying that like, You're like, you could take the op like Trey
Chelsey Donn:Right?
Chelsey Donn:Like it's yet another opportunity to be branding towards what you're doing.
Chelsey Donn:Even the check is an opportunity to be doing that.
Chelsey Donn:So to not have like a golden girls pen or like, oh, I got the Sophia pen.
Chelsey Donn:Like it could be a free giveaway or something like that.
Chelsey Donn:Like to not use that opportunity to do it.
Chelsey Donn:And to instead.
Chelsey Donn:Do something that is completely not aligned with the show or the message of the show is crazy.
Chelsey Donn:I think that's what they're saying.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:And I do know from my friends, Instagram, where they're saying like one neon sign
Trey Gerrald:Thank you.
Trey Gerrald:Thanks for being a friend.
Trey Gerrald:But even that is sort of like, oh, but you can just go online and have that
Trey Gerrald:So sorry about that.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it feels very exploitative on behalf of the bucket listers or whatever,
Chelsey Donn:And then in terms of everything else, as long as we have like something that the kids can take an
Trey Gerrald:The
Trey Gerrald:experience itself can be
Chelsey Donn:the.
Chelsey Donn:That's so gross.
Chelsey Donn:It makes me not wanna go to any events that are thrown by this company.
Trey Gerrald:I'm feeling an impact there as well.
Trey Gerrald:I also wanted to point out how Hector says, like I was not expecting fine dining.
Trey Gerrald:Like I'm not coming here actually for the kitchen part.
Trey Gerrald:I'm coming here for the golden girls.
Trey Gerrald:So like, it's like, I would anticipate this being like food, you would get at a concession
Chelsey Donn:Sure.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I, I,
Chelsey Donn:But you're not expecting the food to be great, but you are expecting the experience
Chelsey Donn:You're not paying $50 for like high end dining.
Chelsey Donn:Ugh.
Chelsey Donn:I'm grossed out.
Trey Gerrald:I think I could crown Hector, how do you feel.
Chelsey Donn:I feel pretty good about Hector I'm I feel pretty good about Hector.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Let's.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:So Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards and in an effort
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Trey is holding up four and a half crowns and I am holding up five crowns.
Chelsey Donn:I went with a full Review Queen for Hector, but I'm interested first to hear
Trey Gerrald:so I really side with Hector here.
Trey Gerrald:I found them to be truthful and not really misleading or shady.
Trey Gerrald:I bought the narrative.
Trey Gerrald:The only reason I took a half crown away here is.
Trey Gerrald:I'm I did want a little more details and I realized this right in the conclusion.
Trey Gerrald:I was just saying before crowning is like, I wanted more details
Trey Gerrald:I'm very clear that it's lazy decor.
Trey Gerrald:Hector does a really great job of painting that this is probably a money grab more than anything
Trey Gerrald:What the included things were rather than like all of the add-ons just for a more full rounded thing.
Trey Gerrald:And I know that's very nitpicky.
Trey Gerrald:I was very close to doing five, but Hector did a really good job exposing all of the deceit.
Trey Gerrald:And I wanted to know a little bit more about what was so bad about the food.
Chelsey Donn:The food itself.
Trey Gerrald:since this is a 90 minute restaurant, like I, you
Trey Gerrald:The experience that they didn't, they could have just done two more sentences
Trey Gerrald:Why did you do five Review Queen for Hector?
Chelsey Donn:Ah, I went with a full Review Queen for Hector, cuz I thought
Chelsey Donn:It had good point of view.
Chelsey Donn:I loved that Hector was on the ground as our like, you know, reporter.
Chelsey Donn:It really gave me a level of, you know, trust.
Chelsey Donn:With Hector that I think is worthy of being a Review Queen.
Chelsey Donn:I, I laughed, there were definitely some laughs in there for me.
Chelsey Donn:And I think they really got a lot of really great points across.
Chelsey Donn:I do find it interesting that you took the half crown away for the reason that you did.
Chelsey Donn:And I'm wondering if there, you know, I'm still going with a Review Queen, cuz I think
Chelsey Donn:One, two things one before you do the event, like part of the ticketing
Trey Gerrald:Like a wedding
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:So like you, you would know, like as soon as you got to the.
Chelsey Donn:If you ride Hector's review and you were like, screw it.
Chelsey Donn:I'm gonna go anyway.
Chelsey Donn:You would still then go to the site and find out everything there immediately.
Chelsey Donn:But a lot of negative reviews did also touch on which Hector did.
Chelsey Donn:Not that like.
Chelsey Donn:It was super lazy.
Chelsey Donn:It was like, Sophia's lasagna.
Chelsey Donn:You know what I mean?
Chelsey Donn:Like it was like very lazy what they did with the food.
Chelsey Donn:So I agree.
Chelsey Donn:I think Hector, you know, could have brought that point to the table, but other than that,
Chelsey Donn:And so I'm, I'm, I'm happy to crown Hector Review Queen.
Chelsey Donn:And if you're listening, Hector, call in, we'll give you a, a beautiful gold Review Queen pen.
Trey Gerrald:Woo.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Congratulations, Hector.
Chelsey Donn:See?
Trey Gerrald:Well, I think the impact is that I would need to wait for a better
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:But, but don't you think you've been saved by Hector?
Trey Gerrald:I probably wouldn't.
Trey Gerrald:I
Chelsey Donn:Like Hector's saying Trey.
Chelsey Donn:I understand.
Chelsey Donn:I was you.
Chelsey Donn:I am you I'm here right now.
Trey Gerrald:I'm here right now.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, exactly.
Chelsey Donn:I'm Peter Trey.
Chelsey Donn:Don't do it.
Chelsey Donn:Donn.
Chelsey Donn:Don't do it.
Trey Gerrald:disaster.
Chelsey Donn:It's a sad disaster from the inside.
Trey Gerrald:Well, that was fun.
Trey Gerrald:Thanks Chelsey.
Trey Gerrald:Via Thomas.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, thanks.
Chelsey Donn:Thomas B for sliding into our DMS.
Chelsey Donn:That is my favorite way to find reviews.
Chelsey Donn:So like Thomas did, if you have just a subject matter a, uh, product, anything that you're like.
Chelsey Donn:You Donn don't even wanna do the job yourself.
Chelsey Donn:You're just like Review Queen.
Chelsey Donn:Why Donn?
Chelsey Donn:Don't you dig in there for me, slide into our DMS and let us know.
Chelsey Donn:We're always looking for new things to explore.
Chelsey Donn:So thank you so much, Thomas B for that great contribution.
Chelsey Donn:And thank you Hector for being
Trey Gerrald:Woo.
Chelsey Donn:a Queen.
Chelsey Donn:Woo.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:We've reached the most reg portion of our show.
Chelsey Donn:Trey, who are you inducting for?
VOICEOVER:My Royal line.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:Well, today I am going to induct on behalf of one of our listeners who
Trey Gerrald:Suggested that we induct something that I am incredibly knowledgeable about
Chelsey Donn:Which
Trey Gerrald:as I pull up the Wikipedia over here, Steph has inducted the
Chelsey Donn:Oh, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz you know, we're very knowledgeable on all things sports here.
Trey Gerrald:So, um, the Knicks, which is short for Nicker Bockers.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, okay.
Trey Gerrald:Which I don't know what a Knickerbocker is.
Trey Gerrald:What's a
Chelsey Donn:I Donn I Donn don't know.
Chelsey Donn:Is it like a pan?
Chelsey Donn:Is it pants?
Trey Gerrald:Loose fitting trousers gathered at the knee.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, maybe that's what they used to wear.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:maybe what basketball players used to wear.
Chelsey Donn:Like Nicker blockers
Trey Gerrald:So the, so Steph Steph is inducting the Knicks for, um, the Royal Highness.
Trey Gerrald:And I'll share with you that it is an American professional basketball team in New York city.
Trey Gerrald:They compete in the national basketball association as a member of the Atlantic
Trey Gerrald:They play their home games at Madison square garden, an arena that they share with the
Trey Gerrald:And, um, oh, this is interesting.
Trey Gerrald:They are one of two NBA teams in the city of New York.
Trey Gerrald:The other one is Chelsey.
Chelsey Donn:The NATS.
Chelsey Donn:Woo.
Trey Gerrald:the Brooklyn nets.
Trey Gerrald:And then also alongside the Boston Celtics, the nexts are one of two original
Chelsey Donn:The best city in the world she says from
Trey Gerrald:Because I do know this because I think my mother-in-law's a fan of the nets that
Trey Gerrald:were
Chelsey Donn:Jersey nets.
Chelsey Donn:And now they're the Brooklyn nets.
Chelsey Donn:I think it was
Trey Gerrald:that's right.
Trey Gerrald:So,
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:and, um, um, I'm not sure why we're inducting them.
Trey Gerrald:I, I guess maybe they like made the playoff this year.
Trey Gerrald:So congratulations to the nets.
Trey Gerrald:I know I don't
Chelsey Donn:not the nuts.
Trey Gerrald:Or the Knicks, sorry, I'm actually not trying to be the stereotype.
Trey Gerrald:I just, I really don't follow basketball and I'm sure that something wonderful has happened.
Trey Gerrald:And even if it hasn't necessarily yet, I would on behalf of staff, I want to induct the New
Trey Gerrald:mitzvah,
Chelsey Donn:it.
Trey Gerrald:even though he had zero interest
Chelsey Donn:God.
Chelsey Donn:That's amazing.
Chelsey Donn:I love that.
Trey Gerrald:But David's parents got a hookup with someone who was in
Trey Gerrald:And so the Nick city dancers came and performed and David's bar Mitzva theme was Broadway
Trey Gerrald:So he didn't care at all,
Chelsey Donn:But the Knicks, you know, with Broadway,
Trey Gerrald:But here we go.
Trey Gerrald:Truthfully, I know that many people in the world get so much enjoyment out of being able to escape
Trey Gerrald:And I'm sure that the Knicks have provided lots of fulfillment and enjoyment
Trey Gerrald:Sporting events.
Trey Gerrald:And so on behalf of staff, uh, I am inducting the New York city Nicks for my Royal Highness.
Chelsey Donn:You did it, you got through it.

Chelsey Donn:It could have been worse.
Chelsey Donn:You could have said like connects, you know,
Trey Gerrald:The connects.
Chelsey Donn:the connects.
Trey Gerrald:Why would you name a sports team after pants?
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it was a really long time ago.
Chelsey Donn:I don't think they had like that much fun stuff to name after.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know, like the Philadelphia team was this 70 Sixers, which is like named after 1776.
Chelsey Donn:I mean,
Trey Gerrald:Right?
Chelsey Donn:you know, there was not that much.
Chelsey Donn:Uh,
Trey Gerrald:What is the next mascot?
Trey Gerrald:I wonder if that's in the Wikipedia.

Chelsey Donn:Oh.
Chelsey Donn:I Donn, Donn don't
Trey Gerrald:I mean, their LogoVora looks like the carry the musical LogoVora
Trey Gerrald:Nevermind.
Trey Gerrald:it looks
Chelsey Donn:all right.
Trey Gerrald:the next is like a basketball.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, I was gonna say, I think it's like literally a basketball.
Trey Gerrald:But
Chelsey Donn:think they have one.
Trey Gerrald:like
Chelsey Donn:Oh, wait.
Chelsey Donn:No, they do.
Chelsey Donn:It looks like it's a dog, but that seems like that might be like newer.
Trey Gerrald:LogoVora and uniforms.
Trey Gerrald:Father Nicker blocker.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, oh.
Chelsey Donn:Was it named after somebody?
Chelsey Donn:Not the pants.
