Chelsey Donn:She was doing a little ankle biting before we got started.
Chelsey Donn:So hoping for the best.

Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Chelsey Donn:How's
Trey Gerrald:Donn know girl, I was asleep, passed out
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Welcome.
Trey Gerrald:I woke up about 10 minutes ago when I texted you and said, this time's still good.
Trey Gerrald:And you actually said, yeah.
Trey Gerrald:So I was like, okay, I have to get up.
Trey Gerrald:So here I am.
Trey Gerrald:That's why I had to restart the beginning.
Trey Gerrald:That's why I said something about dust bunnies.
Trey Gerrald:It's gonna be a fun show.
Chelsey Donn:at least you're rested, right?
Trey Gerrald:I think, I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:I'm kind of, sort of like out of sorts.
Trey Gerrald:I'm like, am I still asleep?
Chelsey Donn:you could still be asleep.
Chelsey Donn:This could all be a simulation who knows
Trey Gerrald:This is a
Chelsey Donn:this is a dream.
Chelsey Donn:This is a dream.
Chelsey Donn:Well, while you're dreaming, do you, were you thinking of like things that
Chelsey Donn:No.
Trey Gerrald:I don't know why I just put chocolate covered all in
Chelsey Donn:Oh, I do.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz they're
Trey Gerrald:Something's something's really off what's happening.
Trey Gerrald:No, I, it was really like a power nap, so I don't think I actually was sleeping or
Chelsey Donn:you didn't dream.
Trey Gerrald:I didn't dream, but I've recently discovered Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Trey Gerrald:I know that like that has existed and like, I'm way behind.
Trey Gerrald:I'm just not a sweets person.
Trey Gerrald:We've talked about a
Chelsey Donn:well what flavor specifically?
Trey Gerrald:Well, I realize that Ben and Jerry's will deliver to your house.
Trey Gerrald:Did you know
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Well, I mean, not everywhere, but like, like, is it like a Ben and Jerry's
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:It's like a, yes.
Trey Gerrald:I didn't know this existed.
Trey Gerrald:I thought it was just like packaged ice cream.
Chelsey Donn:There is a storefront right next to like where I was living at NYU
Chelsey Donn:And I think on your birthday, you got a free scoop.
Trey Gerrald:that sounds.
Trey Gerrald:There was like a storefront on the upper west side when we lived there.
Trey Gerrald:And I ordered there a couple of times, but it's intimidating.
Trey Gerrald:It's hard to start Ben.
Trey Gerrald:And Jerry's because as you just asked, like, what's the flavors you're talking about because
Trey Gerrald:So then you have to like Google the contents.
Trey Gerrald:It's like, just give me vanilla.
Trey Gerrald:I'm not a very flavory person, but I'll tell you in the last week I, when you order from
Trey Gerrald:So it's like, I'm sure I don't think it's made in that store, but there's
Trey Gerrald:Like when you open the lid and it's like, not frozen crazy, like when you buy it
Chelsey Donn:Is it in the Ben and Jerry's packaging or is it in like a cup?
Trey Gerrald:no, it's in like their like packaging, but it doesn't have like, obviously
Trey Gerrald:So then there's a little white sticker and they like write it with a fun colored Sharpie.
Trey Gerrald:My favorite flavor is coffee, coffee buzz, buzz.
Chelsey Donn:that sounds right for you.
Trey Gerrald:God.
Trey Gerrald:It's
Chelsey Donn:I love America dream.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So, well, tell me,
Chelsey Donn:It's vanilla base for sure.
Chelsey Donn:And then it has pieces of like chocolate covered waffle cone inside of it.
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:It's so freaking good.
Trey Gerrald:I can actually tell you where my discovery came because I was bored a couple
Chelsey Donn:Sure.
Trey Gerrald:And they were like interviewing the taste tester for, at Ben.
Trey Gerrald:And Jerry's, it was like this like 70 year old man.
Trey Gerrald:He has a gold plated spoon and they were like talking through how they like
Trey Gerrald:But, um, I think that's probably what put it in my head, which is
Trey Gerrald:I just realized that anyway, we got into this tangent, but you were asking me
VOICEOVER:Lodge Complaint.
Chelsey Donn:okay.
Trey Gerrald:It happened to you today.
Trey Gerrald:And I, as I was going through it, I was like, oh, this is absolutely my Complaint.
Trey Gerrald:For later, I have to Lodge a Complaint against speech to text translations.
Trey Gerrald:I was texting with Chelsey this afternoon while driving, but safely, I was
Trey Gerrald:And so, you know, it's like, you speak free will, and then like, it like is circling
Trey Gerrald:But it's like sometimes a couple of words are off or like, it doesn't understand when you paused
Trey Gerrald:So then it's just like all of a sudden you keep going.
Trey Gerrald:And then, and it's like, what?
Trey Gerrald:Or I was texting to David and I said, oh, I was like, there's debris everywhere.
Trey Gerrald:And.
Trey Gerrald:When it read back what it was sending him.
Trey Gerrald:It said strawberries like it, that, and then I had this like thing, like, okay,
Trey Gerrald:Cuz then he is gonna be like, don't text and drive.
Trey Gerrald:So then I would have to be like, that's me talking through the speech to text feature
Trey Gerrald:And I was texting with you.
Trey Gerrald:And then I was like, I sent like four texts in a row and I was like, I
Chelsey Donn:you're like the reason I'm sending you these things in a row.
Trey Gerrald:And then you're just like, Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Or what, like, that's not even what you said, but it's like, anyway, I'm just really
Trey Gerrald:And it's just so stressful and frustrating because it's annoying your I'm someone
Trey Gerrald:And it seems like it's just inevitable.
Trey Gerrald:And I, I don't like that, cuz I can't, you can't rely on a robot to be a human.
Trey Gerrald:And I think that's a tricky, that's a tricky route.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Anyway.
Trey Gerrald:Do you have any experience here?
Trey Gerrald:It's really frustrating to me.
Chelsey Donn:Well, I do.
Chelsey Donn:And like, so the thing is I, I find it very distracting to be driving and concerned
Chelsey Donn:Because of that, like, I am gonna have to check it.
Chelsey Donn:So I that's, I mean, you know, this, I am a caller for that reason, because if I'm driving,
Chelsey Donn:Like, as if they're like accosted, like I'm attacking them because I'm
Chelsey Donn:If I call you and you're busy, you are under zero obligation to reply.
Chelsey Donn:In fact, if I'm leaving you a voicemail, you're on zero obligation to acknowledge
Chelsey Donn:Cause I understand that that's like easier just to read real quick, but why are we acting like you're
Chelsey Donn:Like, I feel like this was really became a millennial thing.
Chelsey Donn:Like older generations don't have as much of a problem with this, but starting from
Chelsey Donn:It's like, it's become very acceptable to hate on people who call and leave voicemails.
Chelsey Donn:Why.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I feel like there is that, um, cultural statement.
Trey Gerrald:It's like this could have been an email or whatever, but it is funny because I had the
Trey Gerrald:I'll just call you.
Trey Gerrald:I had the impulse to say, well, friendship over, but I don't know how, if I actually really feel
Chelsey Donn:like,
Trey Gerrald:like,
Chelsey Donn:a, that's also like go to therapy and work that out with your therapist.
Chelsey Donn:If you really feel like a phone call is a costing, you that's like a bigger issue.
Chelsey Donn:I think people really do feel that way though.
Trey Gerrald:Do you have people that just call you that you wish would not?
Chelsey Donn:no, I don't.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz I am like fine with the phone.
Chelsey Donn:And I think that my fellow friends that are fine with the phone are gonna call me and they're gonna
Chelsey Donn:And this person does not like it.
Chelsey Donn:If I call them without giving them like huge, fair warning, like there's
Chelsey Donn:And for me, that's anxiety inducting, because that means if I'm working with
Chelsey Donn:Things are going on.
Chelsey Donn:I have a thought about something while I'm driving or whatever it is.
Chelsey Donn:I need to pull over to text message you that thing, because if I just call you and like,
Chelsey Donn:Like, I need to reserve the time to call you.
Chelsey Donn:And I just think it's crap.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I think there are limits.
Chelsey Donn:I think we don't call anybody before 10:00 AM.
Chelsey Donn:We don't call anybody after 10:00 AM.
Chelsey Donn:10:00 PM.
Chelsey Donn:Sorry.
Chelsey Donn:You know, if it's especially a business like or work related thing.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:So I think that there's etiquette certainly, but I think to like blanket
Chelsey Donn:I Donn don't do whatever.
Chelsey Donn:And like you're in a working relationship with other people.
Chelsey Donn:How is that acceptable?
Chelsey Donn:I think it's crazy.
Chelsey Donn:Quite frankly.
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:Chelsea's not talking about me just FYI.
Chelsey Donn:I'm definitely not talking about Trey.
Chelsey Donn:I'm talking about someone else.
Trey Gerrald:Every time you kept saying that, I was like, I wonder if people
Trey Gerrald:I wonder if it's all around some sort of interest and boundaries.
Trey Gerrald:Because when I think back to when we only had rotary phones, you had to answer
Trey Gerrald:We didn't even have voicemails at a certain time in history.
Trey Gerrald:And now it's like you have 24 hour access to any human being with texting or emailing or calling.
Trey Gerrald:So even voice memos, we are, oh, Natalie who sings a theme song.
Trey Gerrald:She loves to leave a voice memo, which is also like, that's actually
Chelsey Donn:interesting.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I thought maybe I could do the voice memo while driving, but actually
Chelsey Donn:You can do that.
Trey Gerrald:hard, right?
Chelsey Donn:So, like, I don't know why the voice memos were okay.
Chelsey Donn:But the voicemails weren't, that's a whole nother thing.
Chelsey Donn:But the thing about the voice memo is that like it is for me, it's like you can't unread
Chelsey Donn:So that's kind of its own annoyance.
Trey Gerrald:I hear that.
Chelsey Donn:the point is I don't like write any of the forms off, I think use your form.
Chelsey Donn:It's up to me in terms of the boundaries thing.
Chelsey Donn:And this is the last thing I'll say about it.
Chelsey Donn:Cause obviously I'm getting heated, but in terms of the boundary thing, I'm all
Chelsey Donn:I just don't understand why we think it's a boundary crosser.
Chelsey Donn:For me to call you or leave a voicemail.
Chelsey Donn:It is within your right as a boundary holder to not listen to that voicemail right away or not
Chelsey Donn:But there's nothing to do with me breaking your boundary by making a phone call, especially
Trey Gerrald:It is interesting, cuz in my relationship with David, he feels the same
Trey Gerrald:But like even today he called me and I didn't answer it because I was trying to
Trey Gerrald:I was like, well, he'll call a second time.
Trey Gerrald:But, and that you really got heated and that wasn't even your written down Complaint for
Chelsey Donn:It's on the list.
Chelsey Donn:Certainly it's on the list.
Chelsey Donn:It wasn't the one I was gonna do today, but then when you got started, I was just
Trey Gerrald:Oh, well,
Chelsey Donn:Well, now that we're so hot and bothered
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Let's talk about hot things or things that are, should be hot, but aren't, that sounds like,
Chelsey Donn:Sure.
Trey Gerrald:but let's do it.
Trey Gerrald:Let's jump in.
Trey Gerrald:Should we let's go
Chelsey Donn:we should, uh, oh, it's a versus episode.
Chelsey Donn:Let's do it.
VOICEOVER:Assess that Kvetch.
Trey Gerrald:today?
Trey Gerrald:Chelsey and I are going to cover a One-Star-Zinger and a five star on the same topic.
Trey Gerrald:Today's topic is the USC dining hall.
Chelsey Donn:That's right.
Chelsey Donn:All you college kids who are now back in school right now for this versus episode, Trey selected
Chelsey Donn:So to determine who rates first, we gotta flip that quota.
Chelsey Donn:I think it's my turn to guess.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:So you ready?
Chelsey Donn:All right, I'm gonna go with heads.
Trey Gerrald:It's tales.
Trey Gerrald:I feel like I've gone first, the last 19 episodes.
Chelsey Donn:fine.
Chelsey Donn:That's what the universe wanted.
Chelsey Donn:So Trey is gonna go first.
Chelsey Donn:So today we're covering, as Trey mentioned.
Chelsey Donn:A USC dining hall.
Chelsey Donn:This particular dining hall is called EVK, which stands for everybody's kitchen dining
Chelsey Donn:According to the USC website, everybody's kitchen offers home style favorites made
Chelsey Donn:They offer monthly theme nights where they transform the dining room, bring in entertainment
Chelsey Donn:What are you just, mm.
Trey Gerrald:I just said mm-hmm but okay.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Each residential community is anchored by an all you care to eat D venue, offering
Chelsey Donn:At the time of this recording, the EVK dining hall has 34 Yelp reviews with an
Chelsey Donn:So right down the middle, it has not been claimed on Yelp by USC.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:So with all this background info in mind, well, before we jump in, I just wanna
Chelsey Donn:Trey?
Trey Gerrald:I did my freshman year of college, but never after that.
Trey Gerrald:What about you?
Chelsey Donn:same.
Chelsey Donn:And I think that like that all you can you care to dying thing again?
Chelsey Donn:Not that I'm like, like pointing any fingers, but the whole freshman 15
Trey Gerrald:Mmm.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz I Donn, Donn don't think that like we're supposed to just be
Chelsey Donn:I don't know it was, it was dangerous for me cuz there was a dining hall in my freshman.
Trey Gerrald:Well, it's interesting to me, cuz my memory is that it's all you can eat and it's
Chelsey Donn:Care to eat.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Well, I think they're trying to say like, you don't have to eat at
Trey Gerrald:In these certain hours.
Chelsey Donn:exactly.
Chelsey Donn:Ugh.
Chelsey Donn:It was dangerous, but it was, it was clutch anyway with all that background in front of mine.
Chelsey Donn:I'm so curious to hear what this One-Star-Zinger has to say, Trey.
Chelsey Donn:So let's, let's jump right in.
Trey Gerrald:Let's do it.
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Trey Gerrald:Alrighty.
Trey Gerrald:So yes, I today have the One-Star-Zinger Yelp review for the EVK, which
Chelsey Donn:I know Everybody's it's funny, but yeah,
Trey Gerrald:I think it would be BK.
Trey Gerrald:Well, whatever who cares.
Trey Gerrald:Um, so today is One-Star-Zinger is written by J dot CT.
Trey Gerrald:So I guess it's Jesus Christ, everyone
Chelsey Donn:Oh, yes.
Chelsey Donn:So did he go to USC?
Trey Gerrald:guess so.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So this is JCS One-Star-Zinger Yelp review for the EVK dining hall at USC.
Chelsey Donn:Let's hear it.
Trey Gerrald:Keep it simple.
Trey Gerrald:Is the motto placed prominently on the wall of everybody's kitchen, a less than
Trey Gerrald:At first, I thought, keep it simple meant this was the place to go for the basics while
Trey Gerrald:Et cetera, simple cooked vegetables, several types of meat, a concept I happen to like as time
Trey Gerrald:Chiefly minimum effort, meaning only cooking, good, fresh food.
Trey Gerrald:When a lot of visiting students or parents are on campus or keeping it to simple,
Trey Gerrald:Nice and cold.
Trey Gerrald:My confusion is furthered by the seeming lack of ability to fund better quality food in this
Trey Gerrald:It well represents the USC practice of spending on any and all things that make it look good,
Trey Gerrald:Fight on.
Chelsey Donn:okay.
Chelsey Donn:Alright.
Chelsey Donn:Jesus Christ JC.
Chelsey Donn:Um, I wish they had given us more information about the caterpillar incident, cuz it's like
Chelsey Donn:I sort of wanted to know like, is this a regular thing there's like constantly caterpillars
Trey Gerrald:time
Chelsey Donn:This is like not the best food.
Chelsey Donn:And one time I have this situation, I, I know that this isn't really a part of the
Chelsey Donn:Did you know that dining halls across America certainly put laxatives in the food
Trey Gerrald:What now?
Chelsey Donn:as a safety precaution?
Chelsey Donn:Because so many people, like let's say there was a, some sort of like out
Chelsey Donn:They can't afford for like that many people to get sick.
Chelsey Donn:So they put laxatives in the food so that it works through the system faster.
Chelsey Donn:And you have less of a chance of getting sick.
Trey Gerrald:Oh, my word.
Trey Gerrald:That's such an American concept.
Chelsey Donn:Isn't it such a American problem solving.
Trey Gerrald:Well, I agree.
Trey Gerrald:I agree with the thoughts here about needing a little more detail
Trey Gerrald:This is sort of not helpful for us to write this review, but I will tell you in reading
Chelsey Donn:that's crazy.
Trey Gerrald:bar.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Trey Gerrald:weird.
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Chelsey Donn:That is weird.
Chelsey Donn:I do know that like, when I go to the farmer's market and stuff, sometimes
Trey Gerrald:But that's outside.
Chelsey Donn:yeah.
Trey Gerrald:And that's very fresh.
Trey Gerrald:It's a
Chelsey Donn:cuz it's fresh and it's like on, off the farm and they don't
Chelsey Donn:So I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:That's
Trey Gerrald:But that's different though, Chelsey, because you're gonna
Chelsey Donn:wash it
Trey Gerrald:It's not like putting it on a plate to fork,
Chelsey Donn:You're right.
Chelsey Donn:That's this is like we should be serving.
Chelsey Donn:I thought it was an interesting.
Chelsey Donn:Note that they like really spruce up the dining hall for the parents and prospective students.
Trey Gerrald:Mm-hmm
Chelsey Donn:something I wouldn't have really thought of, but I do think that
Chelsey Donn:Like, I just think that's such a weird thing to be in the dining hall and be like,
Chelsey Donn:Must be, uh, prospective students, you know, touring the school or something like that.
Chelsey Donn:Like I just think it's interesting to change the menu for that, but it makes sense, I guess.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, it's, it's also, I wanna point out here, like this is sort of spelling
Trey Gerrald:To me, it feels like they got a thesis statement by like looking around and they're like, Hmm, it's
Trey Gerrald:I'm gonna structure this five paragraph essay around,
Chelsey Donn:the concept of keep it simple.
Trey Gerrald:and I'm gonna keep bringing it back up.
Trey Gerrald:And the vocabulary words are very rich in this and they use a lot of dashes, a lot of commas.
Trey Gerrald:They really are adding, supporting evidence minus more details about the caterpillar.
Trey Gerrald:But I like that they circle back and bring up the caterpillar one last time.
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:It really does read pretty and it feels like I felt nice reading it.
Trey Gerrald:Like I felt like it made me feel smart.
Chelsey Donn:What, what do we think about like the, the tackling onto this review of
Trey Gerrald:I'm glad you said that.
Trey Gerrald:Cuz it does feel like UN it doesn't feel part of the
Chelsey Donn:It's not really like on point with the
Trey Gerrald:No, I don't think anyone.
Trey Gerrald:No.
Trey Gerrald:I don't think anyone in the kitchen has anything to do with the water pressure and the dorms,
Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Chelsey Donn:So I do think that's a little odd,
Trey Gerrald:they're sort of adding that as like an overarching theme of being a student
Chelsey Donn:right?
Chelsey Donn:I like that they had the pretension to refer to them and their classmates as bright, young minds
Trey Gerrald:of our generation.
Chelsey Donn:of our generation,
Trey Gerrald:Mm-hmm I also like the phrase skimping.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, I do feel like that's a common thing in college is like trying
Chelsey Donn:USC is similar to NYU.
Chelsey Donn:It's like, you know, a lot of spoiled kids with a lot of very high expectations.
Chelsey Donn:It does.
Chelsey Donn:I'm not leading the witness, but it does make me wonder if like, is JC a little bit more picky?
Chelsey Donn:Like, do we think that they're just like an average person?
Chelsey Donn:Or I know that like a lot of the people that I went to school with, especially the guys were
Chelsey Donn:I maybe did.
Chelsey Donn:I know I definitely didn't pass freshman year, cuz like I wanted higher quality food.
Chelsey Donn:I didn't want dining hall food, but I also like don't necessarily
Chelsey Donn:Like knock on all the wood.
Chelsey Donn:I don't think I ever got like food poisoning or anything like that.
Chelsey Donn:And that I feel like is like a real measure of a nightmare.
Chelsey Donn:So I do wonder if JCS opinion applies to everybody.
Trey Gerrald:Well, it is interesting cuz there, cuz I get the opinion that JC is just saying
Chelsey Donn:right.
Chelsey Donn:True.
Chelsey Donn:True, true, true.
Trey Gerrald:So that doesn't feel as bratty to me, but it does.
Trey Gerrald:I do have it a, I do have an overall feeling that JC feels, uh, what's the word.
Trey Gerrald:They, they, they sort of have a chip on their shoulder that everyone is out to get
Chelsey Donn:do feel that a little bit.
Trey Gerrald:a premier university, but maybe that's just more supporting evidence.
Trey Gerrald:I Donn don't
Chelsey Donn:And maybe that is more of like a college thing.
Chelsey Donn:Like having been really knocked off your, like when you go to a college, especially a
Chelsey Donn:Like everything, the end all be all is getting to a great school.
Chelsey Donn:And then afterwards, like life really hasn't kicked JC and the nuts yet, you know,
Trey Gerrald:I mean, to me, I it's funny, like, I don't think that dining halls are gonna be nice.
Trey Gerrald:Like, I don't think that they're gonna be good.
Trey Gerrald:So I, I don't know,
Chelsey Donn:I think there's like varying degrees, you know,
Trey Gerrald:I suppose, but I they're obviously not fine dining.
Chelsey Donn:They're not fine dining.
Chelsey Donn:And they're not claiming to be, especially like, no matter what way you wanna
Chelsey Donn:You know, clearly it is indicating like, yeah, we're keeping it simple.
Chelsey Donn:We're keeping it basic.
Chelsey Donn:So it's not gonna be.
Trey Gerrald:Do you think there's value in this.
Chelsey Donn:I think there is, I guess, like other than the cold
Chelsey Donn:I don't know if this feels very One-Star-Zinger to me.
Chelsey Donn:I think, I think of One-Star-Zinger reviews as being like more nightmarish,
Chelsey Donn:Whereas this feels a little bit more like two star, three star where it's like, it's fine.
Chelsey Donn:I ate there, like on the days when perspective students were there, it was good on days
Chelsey Donn:But like, what is so catastrophic in this review?
Chelsey Donn:That merits a One-Star-Zinger cause One-Star-Zinger, that's a statement.
Trey Gerrald:That's a good point.
Trey Gerrald:Like I wonder maybe JC did not personally have the caterpillar in their food cuz I'm
Trey Gerrald:That's really One-Star-Zinger.
Trey Gerrald:I agree with you.
Trey Gerrald:I do feel like they're just saying like, this is not good and it doesn't meet
Chelsey Donn:I think that's yeah.
Chelsey Donn:See, I forgot about the caterpillar because it just wasn't attached to any emotion,
Chelsey Donn:Like, instead of being like, I was on board until caterpillar, you know,
Trey Gerrald:also thinking like, maybe that's like an ongoing, urban myth,
Trey Gerrald:Like I could see it's a college, like some stupid science major was like, ha ha.
Trey Gerrald:Watch what I'm doing.
Trey Gerrald:Ethel.
Trey Gerrald:know why I said it.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:I think that this, like, I am getting, this is not lair and that it's not that great.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:I agree.
Chelsey Donn:I think what, where JC is succeeding is they're really setting up my expectations.
Trey Gerrald:That's the word I was gonna say.
Trey Gerrald:They're telling me to not expect anything.
Trey Gerrald:Good.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Which I appreciate.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I do.
Trey Gerrald:I, I, I believe them, but I also sort of feel like for some reason, I'm having a hard
Chelsey Donn:on is like a USC thing.
Chelsey Donn:I wanna say that's like a Trojans fight
Trey Gerrald:oh, oh, oh thank you.
Chelsey Donn:You're welcome.
Trey Gerrald:Is USC like the little mascot guy?
Trey Gerrald:That's like the Trojan
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I can see his little head.
Trey Gerrald:Um, alright.
Trey Gerrald:Do you think that this will be a common experience for people?
Chelsey Donn:I do.
Chelsey Donn:I
Trey Gerrald:I kind of do too.
Trey Gerrald:If the broccoli is yellow more than one time, that's a problem.
Trey Gerrald:Like it's broccoli.
Trey Gerrald:It's broccoli's everywhere.
Trey Gerrald:It's not like, it's not like we're talking about Flamen it's like.
Chelsey Donn:that, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:That's definitely not great,
Trey Gerrald:I would be upset though, if I was a student and I had this meal plan, cuz I remember
Chelsey Donn:right?
Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Trey Gerrald:to restaurants every so often, but like you, you can't
Chelsey Donn:paying for this unlimited plan and that's the whole idea.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Now we
Trey Gerrald:The couple of chuckles,
Chelsey Donn:I think they were trying for humor.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know how successful JC was, but I do think that they were making an effort.
Trey Gerrald:this might be a show first for me, but I was entertained reading it.
Trey Gerrald:Like it does feel like an essay to me.
Trey Gerrald:I, I felt like this is a scholarly piece of writing, which is like, seems
Trey Gerrald:Like I, I enjoyed J's literary voice while reading it.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I think that JC made a real Valiant effort, especially with the
Chelsey Donn:I think we can tell that they're a college student, like you said, they're
Chelsey Donn:They're they're really, uh, putting together a narrative.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:I feel like I've, I've gathered all the Intel I need,
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, let's crown let's crown Jesus.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:So ChelseyBD and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards in an effort to be fair
Trey Gerrald:We will simultaneously reveal our ratings.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating
VOICEOVER:to.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:I'm holding up three and a half crowns.
Chelsey Donn:Trey is holding up four crowns.
Chelsey Donn:I went with three and a half for JC, you know, a little bit above middle of the road.
Chelsey Donn:I wanted more info in the caterpillar.
Chelsey Donn:I love a personal story.
Chelsey Donn:As you know, if we're gonna drop some shade, I wanna know really the personal event that
Chelsey Donn:I don't really feel like JC succeeded on that for me.
Chelsey Donn:I think they succeeded in a lot of other places and that's why I went with three and a half, but
Trey Gerrald:Well, I said four because interesting.
Trey Gerrald:I, I actually appreciate the cool collectedness throughout this review, which I think we got into
Trey Gerrald:Raging horrifying experience.
Trey Gerrald:And then I also found myself wanting more details.
Trey Gerrald:So I said four, because I think it's beautifully written.
Trey Gerrald:I'm, it's hard for me to tell the truthful shady scale here, because I can't tell if JC
Trey Gerrald:Like, it seems like the world is showing up in a certain way to JC that life's hard and no
Trey Gerrald:But, um, I, but I actually enjoy the review.
Trey Gerrald:I think the lasting impact here is like, I'm gonna turn all of my romaine leaves upside down.
Trey Gerrald:I'm gonna like dig around and like, you know, I don't know if I would, I would probably
Chelsey Donn:Or maybe seek out other dining calls,
Trey Gerrald:I would also know that when I tour the school, it's probably not gonna be a good rec.
Trey Gerrald:Uh, it's not gonna be
Chelsey Donn:representation.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:That's all smoke and mirrors and acting.
Trey Gerrald:I'm acting.

Trey Gerrald:One might say, let's hear the heads of USC dining hall, Chelsey.
Trey Gerrald:What have you got for us?
Chelsey Donn:So this review is written by petsy P E T C Y Y.
Chelsey Donn:Pet C Y, and petsy gave, uh, the dining hall.
Chelsey Donn:EVK five stars.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Okay, here we go.
Chelsey Donn:It's good.
Chelsey Donn:BC.
Chelsey Donn:I feel included.
Chelsey Donn:In everybody's kitchen.
Chelsey Donn:I wish the experience could last forever, but unfortunately I have
Chelsey Donn:If sleep wasn't a thing I would live in the soup section of EVK.
Chelsey Donn:I ate the salad, some of the best leaves I've ever put in my mouth for dessert.
Chelsey Donn:I got the ice cream, there were three options, but only one of them worked that's okay.
Chelsey Donn:Because that's the exact one.
Chelsey Donn:I wanted leave it to EVK to know exactly what the people want.
Chelsey Donn:Really an institution created to cater to the masses.
Chelsey Donn:Here's the drink?
Chelsey Donn:I had poetic an emotional name that brought tears into my eyes.
Chelsey Donn:Blueberry spa water PLS, eat here.
Chelsey Donn:I beg of you.
Chelsey Donn:It was an out of body experience.
Trey Gerrald:What
VOICEOVER:Mm.
Trey Gerrald:do you think that this was a joke review?
Chelsey Donn:I think it is a joke, but I also think the petsy probably likes
Chelsey Donn:What what's Ew.
Trey Gerrald:I'm just imagining like the slop of a so.
Trey Gerrald:But I'm also coming into this from JCS review.
Trey Gerrald:So let me, let me erase that for a
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Let's put That's cause like, have you ever gotten to whole foods?
Chelsey Donn:And they have like all those like soup things there is that gross,
Trey Gerrald:guess what I was bringing into the conversation, which I'm gonna take out is
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So let me rewind here.
Trey Gerrald:I have a question here.
Trey Gerrald:Petsy says that they have three nozzles for the ice cream, but only
Trey Gerrald:Cuz that's one they wanted.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Well, what if you wanted one of the two that wasn't there that doesn't
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I think that we have a similar situation with both of these where like, maybe we're not assigning the
Trey Gerrald:what is this saying about the future of America?
Chelsey Donn:But I do like that.
Chelsey Donn:Like they didn't just wax poetic.
Chelsey Donn:Like they owned up to the fact that there were three options and only one of them worked.
Chelsey Donn:I think this is a perfect example of two people who really did have different expectations.
Chelsey Donn:Like petsy likes the soup, she's in it for the lettuce.
Chelsey Donn:She she's in it for the ice cream.
Chelsey Donn:She's in it.
Chelsey Donn:She loved the blueberry spa water,
Trey Gerrald:You know what I just thought about?
Trey Gerrald:I am imagining those like frozen yogurt machines where it's like vanilla, swirl and chocolate.
Trey Gerrald:So if two of them weren't working, that means they ran out of either
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:Cause it's two flavors and the middle one is both.
Trey Gerrald:So if you're out of two, that means they ran outta
Chelsey Donn:Uh, yeah, but I guess it also could just be like vanilla chocolate strawberry.
Chelsey Donn:It could just be like
Trey Gerrald:Have you ever seen that in your life?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah,
Trey Gerrald:You have seen a frozen yogurt machine.
Trey Gerrald:That was three flavors.
Chelsey Donn:for sure.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, look at like 16 handles, there's like 16 different flavors, right?
Trey Gerrald:Well, that's called 16 handles.
Trey Gerrald:I'm talking about a dining hall ice cream machine.
Chelsey Donn:saying yes.
Chelsey Donn:The dining hall ice cream machine is usually vanilla chocolate in the middle is chocolate.
Chelsey Donn:So you're, that's an interesting point, Trey, because if it, if we are to believe that
Chelsey Donn:Well then yeah, chocolate would definitely be down and the vanilla chocolate
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Chelsey Donn:So.
Chelsey Donn:Anyway, if that or the case, I'm a vanilla girl.
Chelsey Donn:I would be happy.
Chelsey Donn:Like, like petsy,
Trey Gerrald:You know, the reason that I think this is probably jokey, there's
Trey Gerrald:So they could just stay there.
Trey Gerrald:That feels very not truthful.
Trey Gerrald:Also some of the best leaves I've ever
Chelsey Donn:I know I ever put in my mouth.
Trey Gerrald:Ew.
Chelsey Donn:I know
Trey Gerrald:Cause see, now I'm starting to wonder like, maybe this is so below
Chelsey Donn:maybe.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:What about the review makes this question that maybe there is some truth
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Well, I guess the specific things that they mentioned make me feel like there's
Chelsey Donn:Like the soup section and.
Chelsey Donn:The Le the leave.
Chelsey Donn:So it's like, I guess there's a salad bar and the ice cream and the, I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, like, people are dramatic, especially in college.
Chelsey Donn:So I would, you know, how like different dining halls kind of Excel in different areas.
Chelsey Donn:I would buy that, like, this is the one you wanna go to, if you wanna get like the, although
Trey Gerrald:can I ask you a question?
Trey Gerrald:When was yours?
Trey Gerrald:When did pet see?
Trey Gerrald:Oh, cause I saw a bunch of reviews that were One-Star-Zinger that said
Chelsey Donn:Oh, interesting.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it definitely is a little bit jokey.
Chelsey Donn:Admittedly, there were not that many, five star reviews for, you know, obviously we
Chelsey Donn:You know, there weren't very many F star reviews, so I didn't have a ton to pull from.
Chelsey Donn:So I don't think that petsy is like the end all be all in terms of whether or not I
Trey Gerrald:Hmm.
Chelsey Donn:you know?
Trey Gerrald:Do you think there's unique information in this review?
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I learned that there's a soup section.
Trey Gerrald:yes.
Chelsey Donn:right.
Chelsey Donn:And that there's ice cream and blueberry spot water.
Trey Gerrald:also feels like the opposite end of JC because the spelling grammar, I D K L
Chelsey Donn:Very colloquial PLS, BC.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Are there misspellings or just, um, lazy spellings?
Chelsey Donn:No, no misspellings, just like it reads like a text message.
Chelsey Donn:You know what I mean?
Chelsey Donn:Like, and it's two years old.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know how old the other one was, but like, it does feel very like gen Z, you know,
Trey Gerrald:Oh, I thought you didn't text.
Trey Gerrald:I thought you only called
Chelsey Donn:I didn't say I don't text.
Chelsey Donn:I just don't text and drive Trey.
Trey Gerrald:and angry that quick.
Chelsey Donn:God.
Trey Gerrald:is a typical experience?
Trey Gerrald:Do you think That's I, you know, here, wait, I can actually play both sides of the field on
Trey Gerrald:I can experience it's like you do want to not leave.
Trey Gerrald:Like you just wanna keep hoarding this ice cream.
Chelsey Donn:because the thing is also like, once you leave, like that's the whole trick of the
Chelsey Donn:And then as soon as you leave, if you wanna come back in there, well,
Chelsey Donn:So like, I do understand that feeling of like, not wanting to leave, because
Chelsey Donn:I really want that thing.
Chelsey Donn:It's like, gotta get it all in now.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it obviously is a joke.
Chelsey Donn:And I hear you.
Chelsey Donn:I think that the problem with these sort of jokey reviews that really go over the
Chelsey Donn:Where are we giving real information?
Chelsey Donn:You know, is the soup really amazing?
Chelsey Donn:Is the blueberry water really?
Chelsey Donn:I mean the whole poetic here's the drink.
Chelsey Donn:I had colon poetic, an emotional name that brought tears into my eyes.
Chelsey Donn:Blueberry spa water, like.
Trey Gerrald:see that makes me think that they don't even have the blueberry water.
Trey Gerrald:I think that that occurs to me in hearing it.
Trey Gerrald:As an extension of the joke, like they don't even have, like, it's just gross water.
Trey Gerrald:That's brown, like the faucets in the gym or in the showers.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, here's
Trey Gerrald:I mean, who knows?
Trey Gerrald:We'll never know, but like, it all, it all occurs to me that this is such a farcical
Chelsey Donn:So like, if I read it, they would be like, if I read it and I went to USC, I
Chelsey Donn:You know, if she would cosign on any of this or if this is all just a joke, it is
Trey Gerrald:Does petsy have other reviews?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, they do.
Chelsey Donn:They've written 18 other reviews and they've included 14 pictures though.
Chelsey Donn:They, they didn't include any pictures here.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, I'm making this up and, but it does occur to me that this
Trey Gerrald:like the truth is everything I'm saying is not
Chelsey Donn:The truth is that it's terrible.
Chelsey Donn:All of the ice creams never work.
Chelsey Donn:I can only eat the soup or the leaves.
Chelsey Donn:Everything else is gross and I'm calling it spa water, but it's actually just like muddy water.
Trey Gerrald:right.
Chelsey Donn:It might be.
Trey Gerrald:knows?
Trey Gerrald:I don't know, but I do think there's an impact for me.
Chelsey Donn:And what is that impact?
Trey Gerrald:I'll tell you in the
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Should we crown?
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, I think I could.
Trey Gerrald:You
Chelsey Donn:I think I'm ready.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating
VOICEOVER:to.
Chelsey Donn:Two crowns, two crowns.
Chelsey Donn:The Queens are unanimous.
Chelsey Donn:Sorry, try, let us know.
Chelsey Donn:What's the impact.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:I'm totally creating this on my own and making it up.
Trey Gerrald:It could, it could be real.
Trey Gerrald:It just occurs to me that it's all a joke.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, there are 34 reviews.
Trey Gerrald:You see that it's a two and a half outta five rating.
Trey Gerrald:It feels to me that petsy was just like, I there's an impact for me that this is only corroborating,
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Trey Gerrald:which is kind of funny.
Trey Gerrald:And also I'm saying the two stars, because it does look like a text message.
Trey Gerrald:And it also feels like there's not really anything to gather here other than they have soup
Chelsey Donn:right
Trey Gerrald:and that the ice cream machine doesn't always offer all of the offerings.
Trey Gerrald:So it does make me think I need to read more reviews.
Trey Gerrald:So the impact sort of is like, maybe this is just really bad, which
Trey Gerrald:So then I'm sort of like, whoa, this is like the matrix or something.
Trey Gerrald:So two stars, cuz it's more confusing than it is insightful.
Trey Gerrald:But I think maybe the joke, if I read it, if I lean into what I think is all ingest, maybe
Trey Gerrald:So I said two stars, cause I'm confused, pat.
Trey Gerrald:Petsy why,
Chelsey Donn:I'm conf petsy why pets.
Chelsey Donn:Petsy.
Chelsey Donn:Why, why, why petsy why.
Trey Gerrald:Chelsey Chelsey?
Trey Gerrald:Why, why did you say two crowns?
Chelsey Donn:sit two crowns, mostly for all the same reasons that you said.
Chelsey Donn:I don't think I can, as a Review Queen, you know, sign off on this review because
Chelsey Donn:Clearly was going for some humor, was having fun with it is an anomaly, right?
Chelsey Donn:Is a five star amongst One-Star-Zinger two stars.
Chelsey Donn:So they had to stand out one way or another.
Chelsey Donn:I sort of wish they would've stood out in more of a, like, I've heard all the
Chelsey Donn:And for that, I gave them the two crowns.
Chelsey Donn:But in terms of this being a useful review, couldn't really give more than that.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, I agree.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Fight on
Trey Gerrald:Fight on.
Trey Gerrald:Would you get a meal plan or no?
Chelsey Donn:if my only option was to go to this dining hall.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I think the impact here is like I would choose to not attend this EVK kitchen.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:No,
Trey Gerrald:a point you brought up early on in the episode is like, are these privileged kids
Trey Gerrald:And maybe it's just totally fine.
Chelsey Donn:but I guess, you know, to counteract my own point, you're, if you're
Chelsey Donn:If like, that was really what you were thinking about then are you gonna even
Chelsey Donn:Are you just sort of gonna be like, it is what it is?
Chelsey Donn:I'll make it work.
Trey Gerrald:I think I would just do what it is, what it is.
Trey Gerrald:I don't think I would be looking on help.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Trey Gerrald:and even more telling of all we didn't even talk about.
Trey Gerrald:Why have they not claimed it on Yelp?
Chelsey Donn:Would you claim a two and a half?
Trey Gerrald:Well, that's why I'm saying that makes me think it is true.

Trey Gerrald:if we're doing this statistic from this five star, that in my opinion is
Chelsey Donn:right.

Trey Gerrald:So I recently discovered, and actually love this new podcast it's called what the hell was that?
Trey Gerrald:And the co-hosts Nate and Mike are really funny.
Trey Gerrald:So what the premise of the show is they watch these sort of notoriously questionable films.
Trey Gerrald:And then they do really funny recaps where they literally go like beat
Trey Gerrald:What the hell was that?
Trey Gerrald:You know, they have like all of their own like stories and stuff that they like toss in there.
Trey Gerrald:So it really is like, you're hanging out with the two of them and you it's like,
Trey Gerrald:They also like cover reviews of the, like from, uh, audience members,
Trey Gerrald:So it's really funny.
Trey Gerrald:My fav I, two of my favorite episodes, they do the dere Hansen movie, which is funny.
Trey Gerrald:And then they also do Ella, which is very funny, which I did not see.
Trey Gerrald:But
Chelsey Donn:I saw it.
Trey Gerrald:did you think it was bad?
Chelsey Donn:I liked it.
Chelsey Donn:I didn't think it was bad.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, they obviously did.
Chelsey Donn:I'm curious to listen to the episode.
Trey Gerrald:Well, that's a funny one because they actually watched it twice.
Trey Gerrald:and then they were saying like, they couldn't because something happened.
Trey Gerrald:So they couldn't actually record after they first saw it.
Trey Gerrald:So then they had to like find another theater where it was playing and it was like an hour away.
Trey Gerrald:Um, so then they had to like drive and like to go and hate, watch this thing to then record.
Trey Gerrald:And then they weren't able to, and then they're like, we cannot like
Trey Gerrald:But they, what I thought was interesting is they were bringing up the parallels of
Chelsey Donn:I can see that.
Chelsey Donn:I can definitely see
Trey Gerrald:anyway.
Trey Gerrald:So I'm highly recommending what the hell was that?
