Everybody's got an opinion.

Every Californian and Virginian.

It's so hard to tell who to trust and who to ignore.

Someone's gotta settle the score.

Trey and Chelsey will help you choose who's views win which ones lose.

Online haters are coming for you.

Baby, it's time to Review That Review.

Hello,

Well, hi Chelsey and hello listeners.

Welcome to Review That Review.

We are the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing

reviews

that excited voice is Chelsey Donn

and that excited voice is Trey Gerrald.

And when our excited voices come together, we form

The.

how exciting

I'm so excited.

Trey, you know what I'm most excited about to hear your Complaint Diva 'cause 'I.

Know that you've just been coming from quite A' situation in real time.

So 'I, don't know if you wanna complain about that.

Not leading the witness, but 'I wanna give you the floor too.

Lodge A' complaints.

All right, well, hello listeners.

Um, it has now been 65 minutes since, uh, ChelseyBD and 'I started

We had to be in A' live chat with technical support for the company that we use to record.

None of this is interesting, but this is on top of the fact that 'I was out

Birthdays four and two respectively, and my husband and 'I had A' 5:00 PM flight.

So we got to the airport at three and it kept getting delayed and

We were told, because there was no captain for the plane.

Nightmare.

Okay?

And then it just got canceled outta nowhere.

Like it was delayed like six times.

Right?

so awful.

and, but 'I am so manic on my app, 'I saw that there was

So 'I quickly got us on really fast.

Like 'I 'I was even impressed with myself, but that was like, you know, A' 9:00 PM flight.

Then that got delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed another six times and they were telling us that

So we like were delayed until like 10 30 and then there were like good news, we're

ChelseyBD literally three minutes later.

Attention, bad news.

We've had to close the gate again.

Okay then.

At 12 midnight, they canceled that flight.

No more flights out.

Attention.

We are not rescheduling or rebooking any flights at this terminal.

You must go to the customer assistance, which is directly behind you.

They had three agents.

The line was like eight gates long.

my God.

so it was crazy.

So 'I was gonna Lodge this Complaint about airlines just canceling flights,

Did you end up waiting in that line, or did you just call,

Well, at this point it's like midnight, right?

And 'I was like, why do we have to wait in the line?

Like I'll literally call.

So David waited in the line, 'I walked to another terminal, and 'I found another

And that line was even longer because 'I guess there was A' tornado that was due and.

Charlotte at four 30 in the morning and it was drizzling and we did see sporadic lightning.

But 'I do know that planes can fly above lightning, but 'I understand

But apparently every flight in Charlotte was canceled.

So

You felt like Miranda Priestly.

mean 'I was sent, 'I sent you that gift,

Prada?

Yes.

Yeah.

'I.

So 'I was sending it to

gotta be something going out.

Can 'I airlift her out of there?

but like, it's just maddening.

We were literally at the airport for nine hours and like 'I.

To have two flights canceled and then because it was quote unquote weather like

so if it's weather, they don't have to offer you anything.

Right, but 'I was literally like, okay, the first one

The second one was because of maintenance on the plane.

So what do you mean weather?

They're like, well, all flights out of Charlotte are canceled due to the thunderstorm.

'I was like, well, that's not what 'I was told.

So it's not the weather.

So that was just very shady.

'I know 'I could talk about this forever, and everyone has these horror stories when

Very much take for granted.

Like we just hop on A' plane and go where we wanna go.

And like the plane scenario is only an issue when it's A' Complaint to Lodge

'I don't even consider it, but it is

that being said, 'I feel like it's been getting to be more and more of A'

Otherwise, like that's my thing.

It's like it's annoying 'cause 'I have to get up at like 2:00 AM but I'll do it.

Right.

And we did get, thankfully 'I was, we were able to sleep at my sister's house, but then

So it was like the apps just kept saying, unavailable, unavailable, unavailable.

So then we had to get like A' lock, super expensive lift.

'cause no one was trying to book the, you know, it was like, so, Bad.

Anyway.

'I don't wanna harp on it, but then here we are 'I.

Think maybe is Mercury in retrograde 'I?

Don't know what that means, but like we literally just spent 65 minutes ChelseyBD and 'I trying to

Everything is delayed.

Everything is without compensation.

Life

you, you wanna know what 'I don't wanna delay any longer?

Is this online review that you have brought in because 'I don't

I'm so sick of

Okay, 'I,

Um, if any of our listeners work for airlines, please call in and give me the tea.

Like just share anything that might be useful when we're in this conversation and, and these

Okay.

'I do know that the flight attendants don't get paid until

were A'.

Lot of flight attendants like sitting with everyone, which 'I found to very interesting.

Yeah.

Well, ChelseyBD, should we do this show?

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Review, That, Review.

As you know, we are your trustee, Review Queen.

So we bring in reviews from the internet that we feel need to be inspected.

We read you the review, then we break it down and rate the impact of that

Now this is A' very regal process that we call

Assess, That, Kvetch.

So ChelseyBD 'I must ask, what deliciousness are you

That

wrote that into the script while 'I was sitting on hour

So 'I tried to write the grossest segue possible.

That was, yeah, that was something.

So speaking of long lines and waiting forever at places.

Mm-hmm.

You know, there are certain places where we feel like this is sort of inevitable.

One of those places is

A' Stadium.

the D M V.

Oh my God.

I've looked up DMVs before.

Okay.

Tell me,

So this review is from Yelp.

It's A' two star review of the Van Nuys, D M b.

Can you spell Van Nuys?

Sure Van, like v A', N van.

And then second word, NS, n u y s.

D M V is Department of Motor Vehicles Perfect

That's right.

So this review is written by, you know, an elite reviewer.

'cause you know, 'I love those elites named Kari with A'.

K,

K A' R, 'I e,

last name f.

I've never seen Carrie spelled this way.

'I.

'I.

Don't think 'I have either.

'I usually see it like Kerry.

Like Kerry from Sex in the city.

Yeah.

Or even maybe like A'.

Yeah, 'I was gonna say even A'.

K E R R Y.

Like yeah, but Kerry, well, although 'I, Kerry and Kerry are different,

This review is written by Kerry F.

So should we jump in?

'I.

Can't wait.

Carrie, what you got for us

What you got, Carrie?

Here we go.

This D M V is probably the oldest in the valley and is in desperate need of upgrades.

They do A', fair job of corralling people, but it's in need of more seating.

Thank God.

The wait after receiving A' number in the first line was only an hour.

'I went, yeah.

'I went without an appointment to register my car, which 'I forgot to do.

'I was two days past my due date, never again.

They also have A' machine for registration renewal, but you can't be past your

No.

Because getting A' seat is like owning A' Bitcoin.

You don't wanna get up ever until your number is called.

Did 'I mention they have only two screens and you can barely hear the numbers being called.

It's A' pretty stressful situation.

So having sat for an hour before my number was called and just finishing my coffee

bad.

'I.

oh no.

O M G, the restroom was one of the most disgusting I've encountered in A'.

Long time urine everywhere on the floor, the fumes were vile.

Felt like 'I was standing in an Andy Gump

what?

'I am tempted to call OSHA on them.

No excuses for this when they are literally raping us in fees.

Isn't this A' state run facility, all the billions you generate and you can't afford, A',

Question mark.

This place needs to be shut down and remodeled.

Two stars.

Are for the nice employees.

Wow.

Everyone was pleasant that 'I encountered.

Please, please make an appointment and don't come here without A' mask and hand sanitizer and

They cannot accommodate if you need to sit.

And then they did include two photos of the bathroom.

'I can share my screen, although 'I, I'm afraid to do so, but 'I will, I'm gonna zoom in here.

Definitely doesn't look good.

Is really giving, like kind of no offense to gas stations, but like gas station bathroom vibes.

Looks very dirty.

Yeah, but 'I don't, 'I can't distinguish what's going on with the sink.

Why is the sink

'I.

Think the sink is just like dirt, like it's just like dirt, like all around it.

And like chipping or something?

It is interesting.

This faucet here is like an old timey, like single spigot, but you can see two little metal plates

Oh, good observation.

Yeah.

Then 'I do wanna just point out for anyone that's not on our Patreon

To be honest with you, 'I thought 'I would see puddles of pee based on the descriptive narrative

' CHELSEY DONN: I.

can't!, imagine the pee because of the way that the toilet paper is sticking to the floor.

'I mean it isn't.

Yeah.

You can see like you wouldn't be able to pick up some of this toilet paper with one go.

It would like disintegrate.

But I'm gonna say something weird here.

This isn't that offensive to me.

This looks like A', very standard men's bathroom

Interesting comment on the men's versus women's, but should we talk about Carrie?

Okay.

Yeah, so 'I 'I had one of those, like, you know, like when you're in A' movie theater and

'I had that moment when Carrie was complimenting the pleasant employees,

Yeah.

But then that only is worthy of two stars.

Now, 'I get that.

They were, their comment was the, the whole review gets two stars only

But I'm just saying, 'I was like, oh, 'I love that.

They're ending with this positive thing about the personnel.

And then 'I was like, wait, I'm really confused on the thesis here from Carrie.

Is that.

'I, this needs to be remodeled.

Like it's such A' funny, like it's such A' funny, find ChelseyBD.

'cause it's like such A' weird, specific like gripe, like 'I understand that it's

Oldest in the valley, what's going on?

The screens are too little and you, there's only two you can't hear.

It's like there's not enough seating.

People pee.

There's vile, I'm gonna call osha, which 'I think OSHA is only when you're employed,

'I did look it up.

'I did

Yeah.

And then they end with like, this needs to be remodeled.

But maybe like the OSHA was like they're standing up for the employees that work

Sure.

Right.

environment, right?

Also when Carrie first introduces this whole, like 'I finished

'I was like, oh my God.

The terror of like leaving the waiting room to go pee, and then your number gets called.

But that isn't even where Carrie was going.

Carrie then went into the nightmare of the vile smells

Yeah, well 'I think it and also, but Carrie was saying like they didn't even, it's

seat.

Because once you have A' seat, it's like if you get up, like there's A' million

and then 'I 'I think 'I might just be like too, not in the loop, but like

'I.

Okay, so the Bitcoin analogy, 'I feel like has it, this is over two

You know, it's so to have A' whole Bitcoin is worth A'.

Lot of money,

So to have A' seat at the D M V is worth A'.

Lot of money.

'cause they don't have enough seats.

Okay, sure.

Or was Donn.

Don't know what's happening with crypto these days, but 'I do remember that,

yeah, yeah.

the value was very

know what 'I think the most glaring dropping of the ball when we talk about

The biggest offense here, Carrie does not tell us what time of day or which

Ooh,

week they went, because if you really want to be making A' point,

mean yes to just devil's advocate that A' little bit

Carrie's not really complaining about the weight.

They're almost blaming themselves.

They're saying, make an appointment because 'I didn't.

And 'I had to wait an hour after waiting in line, which honestly was not even as bad as 'I thought.

So carrie's major Complaint here, contrary to most people's Complaint when they go

It's always about the weight.

And the attitude

And the attitude that comes with the weight carrie's not even complaining about that.

If anything carrie's saying like, the weight is sort of on me because 'I didn't have an

A'.

Good point.

ChelseyBD.

'cause they even sort of say like, 'I only had to wait an hour.

Like, which is remarkable.

Right 'I.

Think Carrie was like 'I went to the D M V 'I, understood 'I was gonna be waiting.

'I wasn't in A' Rush.

Even the hour wait, whatever it was, was less than 'I anticipated.

That's not even my problem.

My problem is that

it's gross.

And there was some queenly information, like if your registration wasn't expired

gone to the machine and been done.

But it was like her own fault that she won't ever do that again.

Yeah.

'I was curious, like, how do you forget to do that, Carrie?

But whatever

'I mean it happens.

'I like 'I.

'I wanna validate that.

'cause 'I feel like, it's like you lose that piece of mail or you just like, it slips your mind.

So like 'I, do think that this is seeping in unique value

Yeah.

' TREY GERRALD: I roll my eyes when 'I

Right,

like 'I.

Doesn't even approach it.

'I mean 'I even was inferring it and you just reminded me that wasn't

Like, so it really is unique.

This might be like the most unique approach to A' subject matter that's ever been

So that's like so exciting.

But 'I also, we do have to sort of tackle this little dropping that Carrie.

Throws in towards the ending here.

And before we talk about the R word, 'I, do wanna talk about the fees?

Because 'I think it's interesting to bring up the conversation about fees and then talk

And like if we're paying all these fees, why is there p on the floor?

Why is it not large enough to accommodate the people in this county?

Like why are there not enough screens?

Like why aren't there seats?

Like, what's going on?

By the way, do you know what Andy Gump was?

No.

Is that someone from Forrest Gump?

'I.

That's what 'I thought at first, but 'I just looked it up.

So Andy Gump is like A' Porter Potty.

Oh,

It's A' Porter potty company.

uh, is that like local to Van Nuys or something?

don't know.

'I wouldn't have not known it if 'I hadn't looked it up, but that

Did they capitalize it?

Yes.

Okay.

Interesting.

is Andy Gump, portable restrooms and luxury trailers.

So maybe it's like A' industry thing.

'I don't really know, but

All right.

And then obviously 'I think that they, you know, say the R word, which is

Don't think it's excusable.

If this was written two years ago, like 'I think we all know, especially

Like we

not to just throw that around.

when we're talking about fees, but Donn don't know that it really dings anything for

'I know 'I mean.

It was A'.

Little bit like surprising when it happened.

'I think like it.

It just like didn't really feel like it was really necessary.

It definitely took the review into A'.

Angry turn,

'I.

That like we weren't really feeling before that.

Like before that we were just feeling like, I'm gonna tell you the way it is.

Like this is gross.

Do this, this, and this to avoid it.

And then when we went there and then we went to the OSHA and then our

More angered place, 'I.

'I.

Agree.

Do you now, were you entertained, is there humor here aside from this one sentence here?

'I was entertained, 'I, think for similar reasons to what you're bringing up.

Just because like 'I was expecting when 'I was going through D M V reviews to

I'm sure it is smelly, but 'I don't think that they, you know 'I.

Don't know 'I.

Just it.

It was entertaining in that it stood out

amongst the other reviews for me.

and it defied my expectation, which is sort of interesting and exciting.

Yeah.

And 'I think that Carrie knows the assignment as an elite.

That's right.

Spelling, A' grammar is good for the most

Yeah.

Yeah.

then truthful, shady

'I mean?

What are they being shady about?

Just like this, the location itself and like the bad bathroom 'I, mean 'I.

Don't really think that's shady.

'I think

they did

you're right.

A' compliment sandwich, you know, well, they didn't really

So 'I don't think that maybe it's like inanimate object building, but 'I don't think they're

'I think 'I.

Can crown carry?

How do you feel?

'I think 'I can crown.

Carrie, should

we

right, let's do it.

Yeah.

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

We will simultaneously reveal our rating.

The Queens are Tabulating.

Go to school.

Okay, the Queens are unanimous.

Four and A' half crowns.

Four.

And A' half crowns.

Trey, you go first.

Why four?

And A' half crowns for Carrie F.

You know, this is 'I 'I.

Almost wanna say five, like 'I almost wanna make this A', Review.

Queen 'I.

Think the raping and fees is like A' little.

It's just so like you, you could have said that with so many other vocabulary words.

'I.

That it, like 'I just sort of feel like, eh, and I'm not, you know, 'I, just 'I

And so in many other places and 'I love that they included photos and 'I.

'I four and A' half.

'cause 'I think it really, as 'I said it, 'I.

It's such A' unique perspective.

It really is not what 'I thought we would be talking about today.

And it's really funny and 'I appreciate that they really ying and yanged, they really

Which, you know, again, defying expectation, spelling, grammar was, was solid.

It is sort of like enlisting in me that bring A' little portable stool

Sanitation gloves and they even say, bring A' mask.

Like, be prepared to walk into like A' 1970s government building,

Yeah.

So that's why 'I said four and A' half, nearly, nearly Review Queen for me.

ChelseyBD, why did you say four and A'?

Half 'I?

'I said four and A' half.

'cause 'I feel like there's A'.

Lot of queenly information here.

'I learned that 'I could use A' machine, uh, in the D M V if 'I needed to 'I know

And 'I think Carrie did A'.

Really good job of communicating all that in A' clear way.

So that was why 'I went with four and A' Half Crowns.

'I took off A' Half Crown also because of the R comment.

Thought was A'.

Little bit intense.

The OSHA.

Maybe was A' joke in there, but 'I didn't really get it.

A'.

Hundred percent.

And 'I really love my review Queens to have that extra element of humor or

So that was why 'I went with four and A' half, but nearly A', Review, Queen.

And really good job Carrie and 'I.

Don't think I'll be going to the Van Nuys D M V anytime soon, if 'I can avoid it.

Yeah, 'I heard.

All right, well good job ChelseyBD.

That was

Thanks.

Yeah,

' TREY GERRALD: I.

Love A'.

Random two star.

'cause you never know what you're gonna get.

Right, exactly.

Two stars are, are not as, not very common.

So always excited to find one.

And with that excitement in mind, Trey 'I, think we've officially reached

'I would love to know who you are inducting for.

My Royal line is,

All right, so I'm really proud of myself for this.

So 'I in all of my travel upset, the most remarkable, amazing experience.

Finally happened and 'I know that 'I have previously complained about this on the show.

ChelseyBD 'I had my very first experience doing mobile app ordering of Starbucks at an airport 'I.

Wow.

At Newark Liberty International in good old New Jersey, this brand new

That's so cool.

'I literally was in and out in less than four minutes.

'I have never had A' more pleasant coffee experience, and 'I will tell you it was bustling.

Like the roped off stanchions was completely full.

Three.

Swivel S'S through.

So it's not that they like were slow and 'I was the only one ordering 'I

so

A' mobile order.

They had so many people working in the back, 'I could not believe it because they never

So I'm hoping that this is A' sign that like the world is shifting

great.

Airports will start doing this.

Have you ever mobile ordered at an airport?

Never, and that would be such A', 'I.

Don't even go to Starbucks at an airport because I'm immediately intimidated by

Everyone else in that line needs Starbucks more than 'I do.

Like, I'm not even gonna get

into that fight.

It's not even worth it.

it was so remarkable.

And whoever, like 'I,

'I am literally gonna do that the next time 'I go to Newark.

I'm gonna see if 'I can do mobile ordering from the one in my terminal.

God.

It was such A' game change.

It was so slick and fast.

And imagine if 'I had been at that terminal instead of the Charlotte terminal.

And 'I could have ordered 'I.

Could have perused before 'I even got up outta my seat.

you would've gotten yourself like A' cake pop just to like reward yourself for

Oh

mean such, A' 'I know it's such A'.

Silly, silly thing.

But you know, 'I do operate with Starbucks and Dunking Donuts by doing mobile

So the fact that it's never turned on as an option at airports has always been very frustrating,

So of course, 'I like immediately.

Pulled out my phone and wrote it in my notes app to induct this because whoever is responsible

You deserve all of the accolades.

You are truly A', Queen, 'I.

I'm like, 'I.

Literally had my coffee in my hand within four minutes.

It was the most epic experience ever.

Little did 'I know 'I was walking into A' true nightmare on the other side of that trip.

But regardless where in the happy time now.

So ugh, mobile ordering at airports.

Get into it everyone.

You're My, Royal, Highness.

Yes, this is so funny.

Rebe, you'll say Next week when 'I have my induction, it's sort of similar, which is

just the way that we operate, but 'I am so happy that that worked out.

At least one leg of your flight was was somewhat enjoyable,

exactly.

but that really does take us full circle, so

thanks for that induction.

Well, thank

Thank you for receiving that induction 'I.
