Chelsey Donn:But that being said, 'I was warm.
Chelsey Donn:And here you tend to dress like it's summer and it's not that warm.
Chelsey Donn:So it's chilly.
Chelsey Donn:But 'I can't complain because 'I know it's chillier where you are in New Jersey.
Trey Gerrald:Well, that's the whole thing too with Key West 'I know that
Trey Gerrald:It gets like very high, fifties and sixties, but it feels extra cold because your blood is thinner.

Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Good point.

Trey Gerrald:do it.
Trey Gerrald:Diva 'I wanna hear?
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:'I won.
Chelsey Donn:A', Lodge, A, Complaint.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I was driving the other day.
Chelsey Donn:'I like to listen to playlists on Spotify, okay?
Chelsey Donn:And all of A' sudden A' song came on and it had A' siren sound in the song.
Chelsey Donn:Okay, and this happens sometimes and 'I don't know why we're doing this.
Chelsey Donn:It like nearly gave me A' heart attack.
Chelsey Donn:'I thought 'I was being, God forbid, pulled over.
Chelsey Donn:'I was like, where is the siren coming from?
Chelsey Donn:It was completely unnecessary In the song that there be A' Siren, it wasn't like A'.
Chelsey Donn:It was called 'I Don't Know, sirens of Love or something.
Chelsey Donn:There were, there was like no reason for there to be A' Siren.
Chelsey Donn:They just decided to mix A' Siren in with the other sounds in the song.
Chelsey Donn:And we know that people are listening to songs when they're driving.
Chelsey Donn:Why are we doing this?
Chelsey Donn:'I have way too much anxiety.
Chelsey Donn:'I have enough anxiety on the road.
Chelsey Donn:'I don't need any sounds in songs that are gonna throw me off of my journey.
Trey Gerrald:Now.
Chelsey Donn:have you, you haven't experienced this 'I don't think as much as 'I have,
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know, but 'I 'I, it does occur to me if 'I was A'
Trey Gerrald:You know, people listen to music in the car.
Trey Gerrald:So the most annoying thing would be like A' Cop Siren or A' Fire Department.
Trey Gerrald:Siren.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Where you're like, oh God, 'I, 'I, 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Gotta do something.
Chelsey Donn:'I have to pull over, 'I have to whatever.
Chelsey Donn:And then you're like, oh no, that's just like randomly mixed in there.
Trey Gerrald:yeah, 'I feel like that's definitely like they knew what they were doing.
Chelsey Donn:they knew exactly what they were doing.
Trey Gerrald:So do we think that's funny or do we think that that's
Chelsey Donn:Oh no.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, I'm lodging A'.
Chelsey Donn:Complaint.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't think it's funny at all.
Chelsey Donn:Completely threw me for my game.
Trey Gerrald:think abstractly.
Trey Gerrald:It's funny, but 'I, if 'I was living through that, it would bother me.
Trey Gerrald:But my question is, does it only get you once or do you think like you're gonna fall for it again?
Chelsey Donn:Oh, 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Think I'll probably fall for it again.
Chelsey Donn:'I mean, maybe if it was like , maybe if it was like, you know, Y M C A' or
Chelsey Donn:If there was something that like 'I heard all the time, then maybe it wouldn't throw me.
Chelsey Donn:But you know, these playlists that 'I listened to, they tend to be like hot 100 or whatever the heck.
Chelsey Donn:And so I'm sure it'll get me again.
Trey Gerrald:no, 'I Get it.
Trey Gerrald:And 'I, I'm 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Do acknowledge that that is frustrating.
Trey Gerrald:I'm wondering, devil's advocate, 'I, wonder if it's contributing to people slowing down.
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Wonder if like it catches people and their speeding because 'I don't know if you
Trey Gerrald:'I automatically, my instinct is to take my foot off the gas.
Trey Gerrald:Does that happen to you,
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Chelsey Donn:Like must stop moving.
Chelsey Donn:Well, yeah.

Chelsey Donn:'I mean

Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:'I.

Chelsey Donn:And also why is A' Pizza Place and this like Bar American restaurant,
Chelsey Donn:There's just like no.
Trey Gerrald:Interesting.
Chelsey Donn:there's no comparison.
Chelsey Donn:It's like, do 'I want pizza or 'I?
Chelsey Donn:Do 'I wanna like sit in A'?
Chelsey Donn:Cute bar environment.
Chelsey Donn:'I mean.
Chelsey Donn:Obviously you knew this when you brought in this review, but Gig A' lost me

Chelsey Donn:Let's go get pizza.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:You have A' fast metabolism.
Chelsey Donn:You're not like inherently better than any of these people that are working

Chelsey Donn:That's just what their bodies look like.
Chelsey Donn:If they happen to even be large 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't know if 'I can trust you, but regardless, Trey, you know, you've waited tables before.
Chelsey Donn:It's A'.
Chelsey Donn:Lot of work.
Chelsey Donn:You're like hustling.
Chelsey Donn:You're running around, you're doing A' lot.
Chelsey Donn:If you're gonna sit there on your.
Chelsey Donn:Like eating and comment on other people's weight.
Chelsey Donn:I'm sorry, but there's something wrong with you.
Chelsey Donn:You don't, you don't have any sort of value over anyone else just because your body is
Chelsey Donn:You don't know.
Chelsey Donn:There's so many things that can go on in A' restaurant that can cause things to be slow.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe you were rude.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe you called them chubby.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe you like said something nasty.
Chelsey Donn:Waiter and they didn't wanna like deal with you.
Chelsey Donn:'I, mean 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Find that to be A', perfectly viable explanation for what happened,
Trey Gerrald:Well, 'I think that this conversation.
Trey Gerrald:Is exactly why.
Trey Gerrald:There's just no point to that being in the review.
Trey Gerrald:It has nothing to do like the synopsis.
Trey Gerrald:What 'I get from this review is that they thought the food was bad and that it was
Trey Gerrald:So what is the like the weight has nothing to do
Chelsey Donn:What is the way it have to do with any of that?
Chelsey Donn:You're implying that the, that the reason that the service was slow was because the
Trey Gerrald:Right, but 'I also don't know that that has anything to do with
Trey Gerrald:Also, they say and much more, uh, define that.
Trey Gerrald:What does that
Chelsey Donn:much more,
Trey Gerrald:'I also wanna say, 'I think that from like, it's the second sentence
Trey Gerrald:Like I'm instantly not on your side reading this review.
Trey Gerrald:like it instantly makes me think you're mean.
Chelsey Donn:you are mean.
Chelsey Donn:You're mean.
Chelsey Donn:You're like leading this entire, and you've never written A' review before,
Trey Gerrald:and your picture is donkey like 'I.
Chelsey Donn:is A' donkey.
Chelsey Donn:You're A' donkey, frankly.
Trey Gerrald:well, yeah.
Trey Gerrald:An ass, but.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know if this is occurring for you, but it does make like 'I feel like there's
Chelsey Donn:And also, why do you know they're gonna see this review?
Trey Gerrald:Exactly.
Trey Gerrald:And why are they talking about this place across the street, which you pointed out as A'.
Trey Gerrald:Different menu
Chelsey Donn:A'.
Chelsey Donn:Totally different menu, totally different restaurant.
Chelsey Donn:Like, why are you going on here and recommending A' Pizza Place to someone that wants to
Chelsey Donn:Go ahead and go to the pizza place if that's what you want.
Trey Gerrald:We don't know anything about the pizza place, but like looking at the menu for
Trey Gerrald:Completely different
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:That's why 'I was asking what kind of food they had.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz it's like if, if they ordered pizza from this place and then they're like, Ugh, 'I
Chelsey Donn:Well then maybe 'I would hear that.
Chelsey Donn:But that wasn't the point that was being made that that point wasn't being made anywhere.
Trey Gerrald:and they're consistently talking about bad food and it took an hour
Trey Gerrald:Like it's this thing we talk about on the show A' lot, where it's like 'I feel like
Trey Gerrald:Like, are you getting A' roll up?
Trey Gerrald:Or is this A' place where it's like, The napkins and then they give you some, like
Trey Gerrald:So then what is the, and much more makes me think they're just like,
Trey Gerrald:And then this whole conversation, which we talked about, like the price point.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:But let's break that down because 'I do sort of like, I'm curious, anytime there is A', um,
Trey Gerrald:Generally you see auto grad added for larger parties.
Trey Gerrald:'I
Chelsey Donn:Sure.
Chelsey Donn:Like A' party of eight
Trey Gerrald:right?
Trey Gerrald:So I'm curious, 'I wanna know A' little bit more there?
Chelsey Donn:I'd say, okay.
Chelsey Donn:That's the only value maybe.
Trey Gerrald:Sure.
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:Cuz 'I could read this and be like, oh there's gonna be an automatic gratuity.
Trey Gerrald:'I Wonder if they were such jerks that they auto-graded them cuz they knew
Chelsey Donn:'I did.
Chelsey Donn:That thought did cross my mind.
Chelsey Donn:Like maybe they were just such assholes that they were like, and
Chelsey Donn:A' tip.
Chelsey Donn:Cause for me, and we've talked about this before too, 'I, I've had bad service before.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Think we've all had bad service.
Chelsey Donn:'I don't think I've ever left.
Chelsey Donn:No tip.
Trey Gerrald:'I know that like, uh, 'I
Chelsey Donn:To me, A' punishment is like 18% because 'I like understand
Chelsey Donn:So I'm always A' very high tipper cuz 'I know that it's A' really hard job and
Chelsey Donn:So 'I, 'I have A' certain amount of respect for it.
Chelsey Donn:So 20% is like A' minimum for me.
Chelsey Donn:And there's just like, there's not enough information in terms of what went wrong.
Trey Gerrald:That's what 'I wanna say is like you're saying, this restaurant
Trey Gerrald:It took A' really long time to give us bad food.
Trey Gerrald:We had to pay A' tip.
Trey Gerrald:They did not deserve, you're forced.
Trey Gerrald:It should be shut down.
Trey Gerrald:Like, but they aren't, there's not like any substance.
Trey Gerrald:It's just like ranting
Chelsey Donn:bad?
Chelsey Donn:If 'I was this person's, if 'I was gig's teacher 'I would say, try again.
Trey Gerrald:need supporting
Chelsey Donn:need supporting evidence.
Chelsey Donn:'I don't need to know that it's bad.
Chelsey Donn:'I need to know that there was A' hair in your food or that,
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:Gimme
Chelsey Donn:know, that the stake was burnt, or you know,
Trey Gerrald:right?
Trey Gerrald:Or the portions were too
Chelsey Donn:the salt was outta control or something like, just something.
Chelsey Donn:Because if you, if you give me no evidence, then my trust value with you is very low.
Trey Gerrald:Well, that's right.
Trey Gerrald:'I will say like, 'I don't find A'.
Trey Gerrald:Lot of value in this other than the gratuity comment, spelling and
Trey Gerrald:Like 'I do think they definitely did A' spell check here.
Trey Gerrald:Uh, this is an example where they use all caps to like, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:sad chubby.
Trey Gerrald:'I just can't like A'.
Trey Gerrald:Also, the idea of changing the spelling of waiter to waiter is like so egregious to
Chelsey Donn:me feel like you got into the restaurant, you saw that the waiter
Chelsey Donn:The waiters are fat, like,
Trey Gerrald:You know?
Trey Gerrald:What is really occurring for me is like, We're nearly in 2023.
Trey Gerrald:We, if we are hearing this and we're alive, if we're reading this review, we have survived A'
Trey Gerrald:Odd perspective on life that has is just an asshole.
Trey Gerrald:Like there's no getting around.
Trey Gerrald:Like it's just so, there's like, right, it paints such A' horrific portrait
Trey Gerrald:And I'm really 'I don't know why 'I 'I 'I wanna honor that I'm creating this, but it
Trey Gerrald:Like
Chelsey Donn:'I was gonna say
Trey Gerrald:yeah, it really feels like there's something shady going on here, like 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Think some like 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Don't know if this is A' disgruntled employee that was fired.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know if this is someone from the restaurant
Chelsey Donn:pizza shop.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:Or maybe this was like an out of towner who went there and they were like horrible
Trey Gerrald:But it seems to me like they created A' dummy account.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Or the, or they're the kind of person that thinks just saying, you know, sad, chubby is enough.
Chelsey Donn:Like that, that's funny.
Chelsey Donn:Or something that like, that's enough of A' reason to take up space.
Chelsey Donn:Cuz that's what you have to add,
Trey Gerrald:but that just seems so out of touch that it makes me feel like
Chelsey Donn:'I agree.
Chelsey Donn:Ugh.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:Humor
Chelsey Donn:over you gig A',
Trey Gerrald:there any humor here?
Chelsey Donn:not the kind of humor that 'I laugh at
Trey Gerrald:And 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Don't believe 'I think they're just being meaning to be funny or something
Trey Gerrald:Like no one's really gonna do that.
Chelsey Donn:The signs around town thing, 'I mean.
Chelsey Donn:Like, it's not even funny.
Chelsey Donn:It's just stupid.
Chelsey Donn:It's stupid.
Chelsey Donn:When you haven't given me any evidence, you've given me no evidence other than
Chelsey Donn:Don't trust them.
Chelsey Donn:'I think that they were very difficult customers and if 'I was waiting tables at
Trey Gerrald:No.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:And 'I, there's A' very strong impact here.
Trey Gerrald:Um, do you want A'?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, let's do it.
Trey Gerrald:do it.
Trey Gerrald:All right, so ChelseyBD and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards and an effort
Trey Gerrald:We will simultaneously reveal our ratings,
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
VOICEOVER:'I chose A' School.
Chelsey Donn:Have crown, half crown.
Chelsey Donn:The Queens are unanimous.
Chelsey Donn:'I mean, duh.
Chelsey Donn:The half crown is for the information about the gratuity being included, which like
Chelsey Donn:So I'm not the type of person that's gonna be like super turned off by that.
Chelsey Donn:But 'I can see how maybe some people would want fair warning that there was gratuity included.
Chelsey Donn:So that's really the only credit 'I can give 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Think that, you know, gig A' is A' bully.
Chelsey Donn:And or competitor and or both.
Chelsey Donn:Don't trust them and can't really give them any more credit than A' Half Crown.
Chelsey Donn:How about you, Trey?
Trey Gerrald:'I mean 'I was bouncing between zero and and half be be, and the same reason for
Trey Gerrald:They auto-graded them because they were so disgruntled.
Trey Gerrald:But I'm making that up.
Trey Gerrald:'I just it, the impact for me is about who this reviewer is.
Trey Gerrald:It, it actually has nothing to do with the actual restaurant.
Trey Gerrald:And 'I just 'I mean.
Trey Gerrald:It's such A'.
Trey Gerrald:It's such A' turnoff that like 'I 'I mean 'I Couldn't
VOICEOVER:There is A' reply.
Chelsey Donn:reply.
Chelsey Donn:Thank goodness.
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Okay, 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Feel better
Trey Gerrald:Oh, all right.
Trey Gerrald:So yes, there is A' reply that interestingly was written three hours after the review was posted.
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Okay,
Trey Gerrald:So the user reply here is from the huddle kitchen and bar parenthesis owner.
Trey Gerrald:They write,
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Trey Gerrald:We're not sure why you think the weight of our staff members was relevant to
Trey Gerrald:We hope you enjoy Kate's across the street.
Trey Gerrald:There are lovely people, which is more than can be said about you.
Chelsey Donn:Yes, Queen.
VOICEOVER:Mm.
Chelsey Donn:Thank you.
Chelsey Donn:Thank you.
Chelsey Donn:Feel validated.
Chelsey Donn:Good job.
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Mean 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Think it's 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Think it's A'.
Trey Gerrald:Good reply.
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Feel like 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Don't know there is.
Trey Gerrald:There is something that is landing for me about matching negativity with negativity, but.
Trey Gerrald:But 'I also think that as was evidenced in our crowning, like there's just no point to this
Trey Gerrald:Wait, what's wrong with you?
Trey Gerrald:And like, please don't return.
Chelsey Donn:'I mean 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Think that it's, yes, 'I agree.
Chelsey Donn:Like we don't always wanna meet hate with hate, but in this case, it's like you are
Chelsey Donn:So like 'I support any business in saying we don't want discrimination in our business.
Chelsey Donn:Not only like, don't, do we not care that you're not coming back,
Trey Gerrald:You're not welcome, right.
Chelsey Donn:You know, because that's not acceptable.
Chelsey Donn:And 'I and 'I.
Chelsey Donn:My guess is that given the fact that this was written so quickly after it was written, my guess
Chelsey Donn:And if they were, if they felt the need to write this online, imagine
Chelsey Donn:So 'I don't really feel like it's, it's hateful.
Chelsey Donn:In fact, they're like, go to Kates.
Chelsey Donn:Go ahead.
Chelsey Donn:We love them.
Chelsey Donn:They're nice people.
Chelsey Donn:You know what 'I
Trey Gerrald:Well, yeah, well, full disclosure here.
Trey Gerrald:'I didn't get any backstory from the person that gave me this review other than
Trey Gerrald:But 'I don't, 'I don't know any of the story, but 'I really was left when 'I
Trey Gerrald:'I really kind of had created A' story.
Trey Gerrald:That someone at Kate's wrote this review, someone at the pizza place that that just occurred to me.
Trey Gerrald:But then when they addressed Kate's, it made me think like, oh, there's no way.
Trey Gerrald:But then 'I also thought, if they
Chelsey Donn:Well, maybe that's shade.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah,
Trey Gerrald:they really did meet negativity with positivity.
Trey Gerrald:It's like, what's that Bible verse?
Trey Gerrald:Turn the other cheek.
Trey Gerrald:Cuz 'I really follow that book.
Trey Gerrald:But like, you know, 'I really 'I don't know 'I.
Trey Gerrald:'I feel like.
Trey Gerrald:'I, I'm making up.
Trey Gerrald:We, we don't wanna slander this pizza place, but 'I, 'I really think that there is probably
Chelsey Donn:I'm left wondering 'I guess because obviously like I'm hypersensitive to
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't think 'I could be your cohost if you weren't, but I'm wondering if like, Everybody
Chelsey Donn:Like, would you, would everybody be, you know, immediately turned off 'I?
Chelsey Donn:Hope so.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Hope
Trey Gerrald:'I mean when 'I read it, like when my coworker was like, you have
Trey Gerrald:There was no preface.
Trey Gerrald:So when 'I read it, 'I was like, what?
Trey Gerrald:And then waiters being spelled that way in quotes, 'I was 'I.
Trey Gerrald:My 'I mean 'I literally was like, what?
Trey Gerrald:And then when you add up the sums of the whole, like, 'I don't even know
Trey Gerrald:Assessment.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know if the fat shaming is to do with the service because
Trey Gerrald:They just say that the food was bad.
Trey Gerrald:They were there for an hour and A' half waiting on the food and that they didn't have the napkin
Trey Gerrald:Like that's why 'I think there's more to the story here.
Trey Gerrald:That being said, could someone that doesn't have A' sensitivity to body issues laugh at that?
Trey Gerrald:Maybe, but like, it's just so, like we are so not in that conversation anymore.
Trey Gerrald:It's like this, that, that's not okay.
Trey Gerrald:Like
Chelsey Donn:And this was written, when was this written recently?
Trey Gerrald:don't know, honestly, because this is A' screenshot and it doesn't say the date.
Trey Gerrald:So, 'I don't, 'I don't have that answer.
Chelsey Donn:but presumably, like if this person that gave it to you, like knows the
Chelsey Donn:Recent enough to not be so blind to like
Trey Gerrald:Now wait.
Trey Gerrald:Here's A' question.
Trey Gerrald:Did you imagine A' gender for the server?
Chelsey Donn:Mm.
Trey Gerrald:It actually says waiters with an s.
Chelsey Donn:'I mean?
Chelsey Donn:'I was just imagining like male and female waiters that were overweight.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Mean.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Feel like I've had A', lot of waiters that have been overweight and fabulous.
Chelsey Donn:'I just don't know how like.
Chelsey Donn:Where that even fits into evidence for anything.
Chelsey Donn:That's why the only thing 'I could think of was that they were commenting that
Trey Gerrald:the slow service,
Chelsey Donn:and the slow service because otherwise what is the point
Chelsey Donn:I've had plenty of servers that like haul ass who, you know, have above
Trey Gerrald:but like everyone does in America, like everyone
Chelsey Donn:that's what I'm saying, 'I know
Trey Gerrald:like portion size.
Trey Gerrald:Well, obviously it's A' bigger conversation, but yeah.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:'I hear the point.
Trey Gerrald:They, they very well could be intentionally finding TreyGerrald words to be upsetting.
Trey Gerrald:They could intentionally be doing this thinking it.
Trey Gerrald:Will be funny or because they thought the servers were slow, because they were overweight.
Trey Gerrald:'I mean who fucking knows.
Trey Gerrald:All of it is so 'I mean.
Trey Gerrald:It's exactly what the reply is.
Trey Gerrald:'I mean.
Trey Gerrald:It's like, why do you think this is relevant?
Trey Gerrald:You're not welcome back.
Trey Gerrald:Like, get out of here.
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Mean 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Think the reply handles it very well.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:'I think so too.
Trey Gerrald:really wanna know more.
Trey Gerrald:'I really wanna know what the T is behind.
Chelsey Donn:'I do too, but 'I don't know that we'll ever find out because there's
Trey Gerrald:Fake.
Trey Gerrald:It's all fake.
Trey Gerrald:This is
Chelsey Donn:all vague.
Chelsey Donn:'I can.
Trey Gerrald:All right, well,
Chelsey Donn:over you.
Chelsey Donn:'I, can't!, 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't even know what your name means, but I'm,
