[Theme Song]

hi,

hello, welcome listeners to Review That Review the podcast dedicated to reviewing

Reviews!

We're just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we

that's Chelsey Donn,

And that's Trey Gerrald.

and together we are.

The Review Queens!

To support the show while getting bonus content, including a

Chelsey girl, how you doin?

I'm good.

I mean, no major complaints swimming along through the day.

I don't know.

I don't really know where the day went today.

You ever have one of those days where you're just like, Where to go.

So I'm having a little bit of that feeling, but other than that, you

How are you doing?

I'm good.

It's so interesting.

I'm going to induct someone today for a, My Royal Highness, which is very much wrapped

So I'm going to not share about it now so that I can fully dive in feeling unrestricted

I know I was almost going to talk about how, like, I

Right.

Cause sometimes I feel like, oh, it's so hot.

And sometimes I'm like, it's so cold.

And then I was like, I shouldn't complain.

Cause it's like 70 degrees here.

So yeah.

but still, I mean, you're experiencing that.

Oh, thank you for validating and thank you for that nice little teaser at the top.

I mean, I'm going to be wondering the entire episode, what it is that that might be the theme.

So thank you for that.

Also for those of us who are not watching, Trey is wearing our Kvetcher hat.

It's beautiful.

It's a white Kvetcher hat with black stitching.

And so I was thinking, as I was looking at your Kvetcher hat that maybe, you

So what do you think, trey, do you think we should?

Lodge A Complaint.

I do I today would love to lodge a complaint against something.

I'm very curious to get your input on because you are from New Jersey, Philadelly, Philadelly

Philadellyarea.

it Philadelphia and have since moved away.

So I feel like you and I have the opposite experience of this today.

I want to lodge a complaint against New Jersey's gas station attendants.

New Jersey, I believe is the single state and our nation of the United States of America

You can't do it.

They have- hire individual.

To take the little gas nozzle, type in your zip code for your credit card, select

You get out of your car, they look at you like you're a crazy person.

Like you're gonna do something violent.

I did not grow up that way.

I did not grow up in the state.

So it's already weird.

Cause I don't want to talk to people.

I also have had to Google multiple times.

Do you tip.

The gas station attendants, or do you not?

I just want to pump my gas.

Like I, it's not a difficult thing to do.

And so I, sometimes I don't want to have to sit there for three minutes waiting

Two,.

It's frustrating to me also, it's been a snowy time of year and that's terrible.

They're freezing.

They're not in good moods.

I mean, I don't understand.

I don't know what the pay rate for that job is, but that is a hard job.

You are dealing with inclement weather every single day and you, no one is

It really is an in and out, in and out fast, fast, fast paced.

So I just, I'm not into it.

I don't understand what the point is.

I also don't know what the general economic reason is.

I don't know how much money that brings in revenues speaking, but I just think we

And that case you shouldn't be driving Chelsey.

Tell me what your thoughts are.

Cause I have a feeling you might have a different point of view.

You definitely came to the right person with this complaint.

Try because I am armed with a lot of knowledge about this that I would love to share with you.

So, first of all, The gas station attendants in New Jersey actually started after world war II.

How do you know this?

don't know, remember when I learned this, but I remember that it started,

And so part of that initiative, New Jersey started implementing these gas station workers.

So that is number one.

Number two.

Yeah.

I grew up in New Jersey, but I went to middle school and high school in Philadelphia.

I've been traumatized by this, on the reverse And usually I would remember to fill or

And I would need gas.

Like I can not get home without gas and I could not feel.

My gas tank.

Like it was terribly embarrassing.

I actually didn't know how to do it.

So I would have to ask a stranger if they could fill my tank.

So I was at a disadvantage now.

I obviously live in Los Angeles, so I fill my own tank now, and I know how to do.

Thank God.

Like that's a bit, that was a big deal for me when I learned how to do it.

But I like it.

It's like a nice luxury when I go home and I'm like, oh, I don't even have to get out of the car.

Like

I knew you were going to say I knew it.

Like, it's great.

I mean, I don't have to touch the thing it's dirty, but I do agree that I feel bad for them.

A lot of the times when they're just out there, especially in inclement weather, rain, snow.

And they're still having to get out there and do it.

And I'm sure people aren't the nicest.

So I hear you like that sucks, but yeah, I think it's a luxury.

I imagine it's like anything else, you know, like what if you grow up somewhere you're

So like, it's, it's weird to you and I totally hear you.

Anyone who has any information, please call in about this.

We have two polarizing opinions, you know?

that's the power of us as a team that we really, we received the

And yet the same, you know, like we come full circle.

Alright.

That's my complainant.

Tell me, Chelsey, what want to Lodge A Complaint about.

Okay.

You know what, um, I want a Lodge, A Complaint.

Um, you know what, nevermind.

I don't want to say that.

No, no.

Um, I want a Lodge, A Complaint about.

...is this bit?

I shouldn't tell you, forget it.

I'm not going to tell you.

Wait, I want a lot.

I know I went to Lodge A Complaint about it's stupid.

I'm not going to say that's what I'm lodging a complaint against Trey.

We got to stop.

you've gotten to the point of the conversation where you have said, I'm

Okay.

You have to follow through.

I can't stand it.

Like when someone's looking at a phone or something and they start laughing, it's hilarious.

And then you go, what's so funny and they go nothing.

What is wrong with you?

What is, what is wrong with you?

You're you're setting up a premise.

You're you're you're at me with energy and excitement.

About something you want to share and then you're not sharing, or you're coming at me with sadness

And then you don't want to tell me, and then I have to like fight with you for you to tell me.

And we got to just stop now.

Listen, I'm trying to get better about gossiping, right?

It's against my religion, literally and figuratively, or literally in.

And I don't like to do it.

So sometimes I will censor myself, if I feel like I'm starting to talk badly about

I don't want to say that.

But if I have that thought, I at least have the courtesy to like segway or lie.

I'm not going to make it the other person's responsibility that I had to self censor.

You know what I mean?

Like if I'm talking to you about something and I'm like, and then like, she just.

It doesn't matter what she did, the point is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

At least I'm continuing on the conversation.

Like maybe I'm censoring myself a little bit, but I'm like pushing the ball forward.

I just hate it.

Do you have this situation with.

Yeah.

Well, I think that what is the trigger for me over here is when I feel like someone is

yes.

sometimes it bothers me when I feel like it's just all for show or like, it's like,

I shouldn't say that this.

Yes.

It reminds me of like, I think it's an Ellen degenerates standup thing from before she had a

Anytime someone says fine.

It's like,

Oh, I

I don't want to ask what's going on.

Just say you're good.

like, don't give me fine.

I know

But then back to the phone thing, when someone's laughing

And they're like, Oh no, That is like instantly on the playground at recess in elementary school.

When you're excluded from the game,

I know.

can't see this.

is not for you.

This joke is, for other people that get picked before you in Dodge ball.

well I guess we have similarities when it comes to this, but not gas.

great.

Well, that was fun.

Thank you for sharing that complaint.

Coming from different points of view is why don't we use that to segue into some online reviews.

What are your third Google?

I think that would be the perfect segue.

Good idea.

Let's do that.

As you know, we are your trustee Review!

Queens.

We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected.

We read each other, the Review!

then we break it down together and we rate the impact of the review

It's a very Regal process that we love to call

Assess That Kvetch.

and Chelsey, my, RQ-C, first, today.

Okay.

All the butterflies let's do it.

Ciao.

Ciao.

See?

Oh wait.

Uh, oh, um, Hmm.

I don't want to finish that sentence.

Oh,

know what,

oh, the gas attendance.

Yeah.

Review That Review.

Oh, okay.

So I was thinking like, what are those weird landmarks things that exist in

When I was doing that research, I came upon something called post alley gum wall in Seattle.

Yeah.

So what this is is it's basically walls and walls and walls and walls of gum.

it.

That's all you need to know.

Like used chewed up gum?

Used, chewed up gum, that people put on the wall.

And then I guess maybe like it, it just collects over time and it's just, there's there's

Okay.

So as I was doing that, I came across this Review!, it's a

Here is listed as an elite reviewer as I was reading this Review!

I was a little bit confused.

So I'm hoping that Trey, and maybe some of you listening can help clear some of this up.

So I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and read.

This is a three star Yelp review written by Sarah S who is an elite reviewer,

No boy.

Last review of 2018!

It's been a ride, Yelp, and working for you was a blast in 2017 into 2018.

I got to say.

I didn't mind.

My amazing boss and former Chicago cm, Alex S rolling out of his position

Dude was a legend.

All that aside.

Being just a regular old Yelp reviewer again has brought back my joy in

Enough of the sentimental crap!

On with the off this roller coaster of a year with my 269 review in 2018.

And I'm finishing off 2018 with the weird one, the gum wall at Pike Place in Seattle.

It's a local landmark in the alleyway below pike place market about 50 feet in length

This tradition of sticking gum on the wall began in 1993.

When it became an official tourist attraction in 1999.

It's only been scrubbed and scraped down once since then in 2015.

This is such an obscure little lore.

By sure, it's worth taking a few minutes between your eating and shopping to check it out...

If you can stomach it.

I knew I had to check out the gum wall while I was at pike place and was looking forward to it.

I had visions of taking cute pictures that would be totes Insta worthy

Well, it didn't work out that way.

I was so gross out once I was in the presence of all this half chewed, disgusting, moist

The thought of it right now makes me want to throw up.

I legit started dry heaving while I was there.

It looks all bright, beautiful color and fun and pictures.

But in person I couldn't handle it disgusto I took a couple of shots and promptly

It's one of those things.

I'm glad I saw, but heck no, I don't need to see it ever again, as long

Pass!

What happened in the beginning of the Review!

cause I'm still unsure.

It's now the third time I've read it like to myself and I still don't understand

Like if you're in a I, the only thing I can think of is that there's, they're

Like we're not making money as an elite reviewer, right.

Or.

Well, no, I at first, because you told us they're an elite Review!

or I was thinking, oh, this person's crazy.

And they thought they were working for you out, but they were reviewer.

But no, I, it sounds to me like they actually held a position for Yelp's headquarters.

Cause they talk about the boss who had endless events to go to.

And now they're just a normal reviewer.

Um,

the impression I got because you don't get paid as an elite.

Review!.

I know.

Regardless.

I do think it has nothing to do with this gum wall.

Oh, it doesn't!

No.

Yeah.

Like I'm really having this feeling about Sarah S that I don't care.

I don't know why you've put in so much personal information.

Also it's like, so arbitrary, like it's there.

It's what is the number of Review!?

Did they say.

269th.

Review!

in 2018 and I wrote it down.

I mean, if it was like the 300th or like a nice, pretty round

So significant.

It's like somebody that's like, I'm going to like celebrate my 26th birthday.

And it's a really big deal.

And you're like, yeah, 25 and 30.

That's what you get.

I think for me, it's just, Hmm.

How do I want to say I'm getting a sense that Sarah S really takes their life

Meanwhile, the meat on the bones of this review are very minimal other than like the history

Auditioning to be an article writer at Buzzfeed.

Like why are you writing an article in your Review!

instead of just telling us, like you thought it was gross.

Meanwhile, why did they do a cleaning in 2015?

That's what I'm curious about.

I don't know, maybe there was an event that happened who the hell knows.

I mean, listen, I actually liked that part of the Review!

when Sarah, like, by the time we got over that initial saga that I

still, I'm still not convinced.

I understand.

Once we got through that part, I was like, oh, that's nice.

Because the gum is like so weird and arbitrary.

Right.

And I read through a lot of reviews just because when I found this thing, I was like,

And none of them really answered for me, like why, when, how, you know what I mean?

Like a lot of them were like, it's gross or it smells like gum or,

But I liked that Sarah took an extra time to be like, this is the history of the thing.

Like that was actually nice.

And I think what impact, whether or not I was going to see something

It's interesting to me that Sarah S was so sickened by the site, but they'll

Yeah.

I mean, this is, I think this might be a first on the show where

I really think that Sarah S gets all points there.

Yeah.

I do

W okay.

So what about the spelling?

And.

It was very good, but there was one little error.

I can't remember where it was.

It was, it was minor though.

Oh, okay.

but tiny.

then truthful, shady.

I don't think Sarah's being shady.

I think Sarah is being a little indulgent, but

but she is an elite reviewer.

We know these elite reviewers do tend to be indulgent.

There's this pattern of, of this kind of behavior and indulgence.

So the indulgence in the second two thirds of the Review!

doesn't really bother me.

It's more like

the first,

was completely unnecessary.

right.

As far as the experience here, you know, the more I thought about it, the more I

So gross.

especially if it's like a random alleyway behind like the original

Yeah.

I liked that.

They also touched on again.

I obviously have more information about this gum wall than, than anyone probably at this point.

But what I did like is a lot of people will go to this wall for the Instagram shots,

And I think that.

I liked that Sarah brought that up and was like, yeah, I thought I was going

But when I got there, it was so gross that I like quickly took a few shots and

Like maybe we skipped the gum wall if we're just there for the photo.

Yeah.

And I was going to bring this up in my assessment because I, I feel like because Sarah.

Was negligent and uh, reaching their goal of being the talk of the gram.

I think Sarah then put it onto the Yelp review by saying I'm going to be the Yelp.

Interesting, interesting, interesting.

They did include some photos.

All right.

Good vault.

None of them are Instagram worthy.

They are like photos of other people taking their photos in front of the wall.

What do you think of the humor entertainment level?

I was entertained when I write it.

I thought there was an attempted humor.

I don't think again, like I was rolling over, like I was for that ball Review!

which at world cherries of fire, but I thought it was like, it wasn't boring.

I mean, maybe it was the top, but it was like colorful ish.

Yeah.

I was entertained because it's just interesting to me.

okay.

So.

Is there anything else we should consider before we crown it?

No, I think I could crown.

I think I could crowd.

All right.

I think I can crown Sarah ass.

Let's do it.

All right.

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

We will simultaneously reveal our or hitting.

Queens are Tabulating.

Total Score!.

Interesting.

Okay.

So Trey is holding up three crowns.

I'm holding up four crowns.

Trey, why are you holding up three crowns for Sarah ass?

I just gave three because The overall impact for me is Sarah S.

Gave me a book report on this and, and on their life, I just, I felt like they could

It's grammar and spelling is pretty great.

think they're being truthful.

I think it's a common experience.

I was entertained maybe not for the right reasons, but, and then as far as a deal

other 268 reviews.

now.

So that's why I gave Three,.

What about you Chelsey?

Why did you give for crowns?

I feel like I was being extra generous today.

I thought about doing three and a half.

Maybe I should have done three and a half.

I threw Sarah the extra crown because you know, like we discussed, I sort of differ from ULI.

I liked the historical.

Background stuff.

That was a nice, additional aspect of the Review!

that a lot of the other reviewers didn't include.

And, you know, she gave it three crowns, not one.

And I felt like, okay, it's.

Oh, right,

it seems sort of like, cool.

If you're here to take a photo and this is like, what you want, like,

I thought there was, I thought it was, you know, a decent Review!

all around minus that first part.

I think if, if Sarah had just started after that paragraph, it would have been even more queenly.

So that was why, what was four crowns for Sarah?

Excellent funny, find

Thank you.

Okay.

Let's take a quick break.

And when we come back, we can get into RQ-T's Review!

can't.

Wait, is it on theme?

woop woop.

Well, my Review!

will tie into my zinger spoiler.

Yes, there's usually a thing.

I'm all right.

Can't wait to hear.

Hold your crown.

We'll be right back.

One-Star-Zinger time Chelsey.

Are you ready for a game?

And to take a quick spin on the Meryl-Go-Round.

Um, I am, I, I had like a flashback for a second.

I thought it was Thanksgiving cause the, the Turkey came back.

But I am ready.

Let's do it.

'I don't feel like an icon.

Most of the days, I feel like 'I can't!' That's with an, A'..

All right, Trey and I have each picked a rotten scathing, pithy

Just like queen Meryl, who does it all.

before the clock runs out.

All right.

Try it.

Whereas using her from today.

I have a one star review from amazon.com for Rounderbum

This is written by amazing two exclamation mark.

Okay.

And their subject is Hurts and their review from 2018 reads crushes your junk.

Um, do you think that they bought the wrong size?

Maybe,

Oh man.

I don't know, baby.

if we're crushing the junk.

probably should have gone up a size, just the thought.

Not, not to blame you, but anyway, I'm gonna strap you into just like, I don't know.

I feel kind of pure today.

So can I, can I strap you into like a crown?

Is that okay?

All right.

Are you ready?

I am.

Let's do it.

Chelsey?

Okay.

My zinger is a Google review for target.

And this review is written by Daniel P.

The review is Connor.

You're not the father.

Matt is, yeah.

I don't know why Daniel P decided to go to this forum to let Connor know.

Um, That's it.

It's a review of target from Daniel P Connor.

You're not the father.

Sometimes you find a Daniel.

Review That Review.

Oh, right.

We are back from that rousing game break and Trey, it is your turn.

Where is your Review!

from this week?

All right today, I have a one star review from yelp.com

Okay.

written by Bobby T for Rounderbum men's but enhancing underwear.

Okay, hold on.

Hold.

Okay.

Um, questions before we get started.

So is this the same product as the zinger?

Like the same exact product?

So interesting.

So the product?

is for one of the pairs of underwear.

This Yelp review is for the store in west Hollywood, the storefront

And what is it called again?

Rounderbum.

Okay.

Just want to make sure I had all that.

Okay.

And do you understand what rounderbum is?

Yeah.

Like it's basically like reverse Spanx so that it looks like you have a nap, a nice round,

Yes.

it's okay.

It's in the right, you know, space

It's actually, I think it's in the spot that used to be American

real estate.

That makes sense.

That makes sense

Okay.

So here we go.

This is Bobby T's Review!.

This is written on November 13th, 2020.

Okay.

As you all can see my reviews are always very positive I love to support businesses.

However, this business does not deserve to be supported I bought some things from them

I was not allowed to do so on one of the compression shirts I sent it back to them

And they would not accept returns after they said they would which took about two weeks

I am alerting everyone at my west Hollywood chamber of commerce which I'm very loudspeaker.

And my email database of 850,000 people that I spend my 25 year career of being

You can buy the same items on eBay for $8 and 65 cents which I just ordered three

Also on my eBay account you can see I have bought over 700 things on it so I know how to shop.

But wait, there's more!

They replied to their own Review!.

So the first one was November 13th.

Now it's November 20th, which is my sister's birthday.

Bobby T writes again.

Updated Review!.

I sent an exchange back three weeks ago and I'm still getting the run-around I

What is going on with Rounderbum and that they're closed is this company not solvent

Okay, so, okay.

So the reason you're running out of breath here is because Bobby T is seemingly

right?

Yes.

I only took a breath when I was

Oh

was my, um, that was my exercise today,

God.

I mean,

which I think, I think that's appropriate since Bobby T.

Shares that they have a database of eight, 850,000 people on their email list.

So you would think they would know how to write sentences.

Give me a break.

Okay.

One question right off the bat.

And we've, I think talked about this before.

What do we think when people start their reviews with the whole line, which we've heard a million

You know, I don't know.

I'm kind of have to, like, I can see.

I want to believe them.

I want to believe that's true, but I also recognize that you can set up the reader in a

So then I sort of just ignore it because I don't know if I'm being manipulated or not.

Same.

I'm like doth protest too much or not.

I don't know.

There's something like everybody in their mother.

says that.

Yeah.

Once as to know that when they returned the clothes at Ross, they so gently

I think I just, I had to point out here in the second updated Review!

Bobby T says.

I was ready to buy more, but in the first original Review!, they're going to go to the chamber

Oh, my God.

I feel like I'm like, have you been, why do you watch shark tank?

I feel like I'm channeling my, like Mr.

Wonderful.

This season has gotten anger management.

So every

Oh,

he will do this thing where he's like, I just want to eviscerate you,

And I'm having like a little bit of that feeling with Bobby for some reason, because.

Also.

So I first turned off by the positive thing, then turned off by the 850,000 emails,

Right.

Cause it's like, you're just really showing your hand, Bobby, you know,

If you don't pay attention to me, I'm going to slander you to 850,000 people.

So you better pay attention to me.

Like.

Yeah.

It's really whiny and like begging attention.

And I don't know much about the west Hollywood chamber of commerce, but like, is it just

And we'll open the floor.

We'll open the floor at one point.

And Bobby is always the one that's like, I have something to say about the trash.

I have something to say about the parking I have, you know, like he's

And on the one hand, I almost respect that because I know exactly who Bobby is.

But on the other hand, when we're going into the truthful element of this and we're

does, it does come across to me as shady because Bobby T self-identifies

yeah.

Yeah.

Which I'm very,

that as your complaint last week.

oh, that's right?

But they're saying that they are allowed speaker at the chamber of commerce.

So it makes me think that Bobby has learned in their 25 year career that

So if I complain the loudest, I'm going to get what I want.

And so a little bit of this feels to me, They didn't give you a 100% refund, which

And then they said, no, but we'll give you half store credit.

So therefore you think the store should close.

Like, and so therefore you go on here and you just spout all the stuff about you.

And this I'm like, I don't want to go here because I don't think it's necessary.

But Bobby T is a very famous person.

I.

Recognized them instantly.

Also, their name is very famous and they have appeared on like E and like,

So even that makes me feel like don't, you know who I am energy.

it.

Okay.

Well, that's interesting because I didn't know that.

And I, I still don't.

I mean, I, maybe I live under a rock, but I still don't know who

And I still got that vibe, you know, even without knowing.

So I think that that is very front and center.

What was the time between the two Review!.

One week it was the 13th and then the 20th.

Okay.

Here's where I'm very confused.

All right.

Three dozen three,

Oh yeah.

pairs quick math, 36 36 pairs of underwear.

30 to 31 days a month.

Why do we need so much underwear that we got, whatever we got, we returned, we bought 36 pairs.

We said, they're on their way.

Like, we're bragging about how fast I'm going to get them all that.

So you have them.

And then a week later you're trying to go back and buy them.

How many pairs do you need?

Because in addition to the 36 pairs of underwear, I can't imagine you're

Like, it seems like a nighttime thing.

So, or maybe not, I could be wrong.

Maybe you them all day, either way 36 is a lot of underwear and then they referenced

So Bobby T isn't just wearing this underwear.

Clearly.

They were other kinds of underwear.

Well, I want to clarify it is a little murky on the details

says that they bought some things from them.

The item is too small and they ask if they could exchange the ones they did not open.

And they were not allowed to do so on one of the compression shirts.

So they must've purchased compression shirts and underwear.

And it sounds like they wouldn't take a return back from the compression shirt, which

Right.

Like you think you wouldn't take back underwear because it's like, if you've had your hearts all

But no, you're right.

They do say three dozens.

pairs.

Right.

So it's all like three dozen sets that you're like, oh, it could be a shirt.

And this like three,

Oh wait.

You know what.

on E-bay they bought three

That's what I'm saying.

uh,

they bought 36.

They're bragging about the fact that they're going to get it real quick, faster than they could have,

Then a week later, they're talking about going back to the store and getting more.

Is this a one-star review?

Yeah.

have a five plus star Review!

you're so passionate about these underwear that you wrote, not one, but two reviews within

Clearly there must be something really great about this underwear.

If you're buying so much of it, maybe I should go pick some up,

Chelsey.

That is like a really great point.

I didn't even pick up,

on that.

I mean, obviously spelling and grammar is horrifying.

We've both kind of find this to be shady, common experience or a fluke.

I don't know.

Cause they.

What is the experience?

What is the experience that I can't return?

All my items.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

Like, if you're this angry, you're going to go to the chamber of commerce, please.

Quote what the return policy was that you're saying they're not

Why are we so upset?

I want to

that's a

I missing something?

All I know is that we're upset because I can't get a hundred percent refund.

I can only get 50% store credit.

Half

Is that the thesis?

yeah.

It was lost in the Michigan costs.

I barely could see the point anymore.

So, is it humorous?

No.

I don't think so.

I mean, again, like it's funny because again, I don't know

Okay.

Like, I'm sure you're a great person.

I don't know Bobby T but the character that I'm getting of Bobby tee off

It's not humor necessarily, but I am entertained by this character walking around the world.

And I do think I get a lot of personality, I think for me is almost a part of the humor.

Assessment is personality and there is personality here.

Yeah.

It's like oozing from the page.

I guess I just I'm.

I am unsure about the experience as we pointed out.

Like, I can't tell if this is common or fluke.

Like, I don't know if Bobby misinterpreted what the return policy was or if they're actually

So I don't know.

If there was a reply from owner here, I would be curious if they would

Like these are undergarments, like they are on private, whatever.

Like we don't accept them back.

Uh, we will give a 50% refund cause essentially we have to donate the product

That's like Bobby T should have gotten the memo and didn't get the memo.

I don't know.

I don't

No deal breakers.

now I think I could crown Bobby's here.

I like feel bad.

I'm going to have to stop talking about them, but I'm ready to crown them.

Let's do it.

Let's crown by.

The Queens are Tabulating.

Interesting.

Okay.

So I'm holding up a half.

Crown.

Trey is holding up one crown.

I was like going back and forth 13 and a half crown in one crown.

I'll go first.

I gave Bobby T a half crown because like I said, at the end of the day, I'm not

is.

I wish that whatever the thesis statement that was being made here, Made clearly, but because

I can't even really walk away with this armed with the knowledge I

So for that reason, there's not really a ton of impact.

I'm a little bit confused.

Like I said, reverse impact for me.

This product seems great.

Maybe I should go get it.

So for that reason, half crown, why one crown for, for Bobby T from

Well, I felt like all I walk away with after reading this is

Sides, et cetera, please like please proofread and add punctuation.

It's like, that's just obnoxious at this point.

And I gave it the one crown, because it was funny to me that Bobby T was so mad and spiteful.

That's what it felt like to me.

So that's why he gave it one crown.

I hear you.

I was definitely going back and forth between both.

So, thanks.

That was fun.

Thanks for bringing that in right now.

I'm super curious who that is, say all right, my queen, we have reached

Who are you?

Inducting trey for?

My Royal Highness

Okay, so here we go.

Here's the completion of my teas up top.

All right.

Chelsey season two of Cheer came out last month.

So I'm watching it late, but, Okay

So anyone who did not watch Cheer was a documentary series on Netflix that followed

collegiate, right?

And it's actually a junior college.

And what was so fascinating about the program or about the television show is that

And I think that it affects me emotionally because anytime I see anyone that's a professional dancer.

There's something that is so emotional to me about that level of discipline and commitment.

And so this, the whole Cheerleading thing, so much of season one is sort of stripping

those of us who have seen bring it on, you know,

Yes.

but it literally is bring it on, on crack because they're doing like

Being held up there, like the third person on top.

And these people that are doing the Cheering are in their early twenties.

And there is a shelf life to being able to do that to your body.

Oh my God.

Yeah.

There's just, it's just the highest of highest stakes.

And it's so much about teamwork and like, it just very moving.

There's a reason.

It sort of became a sensation.

So season two has just come out and it gets very meta because it's

Famous.

And so they're still trying to put their routine together.

They want to like get to Daytona and, you know, they just have this extreme goal.

That's so taxing.

They're like puking, trying to like get their bodies conditioned.

And then all of a sudden COVID happens the middle of this second season.

And then all this other stuff happens.

I'm not going to talk about it.

But anyway, that's what I've been doing all week has been like Bingeing.

two.

Yeah.

But My Royal Highness induction today as the creator, the executive producer

He is a multi Emmy winner.

I just think the idea is so.

Obviously going to be interesting.

It's like sports.

I mean, there's so much sport content, but it's a sport that people don't think of as a sport.

They think it's the silly thing.

So there's so much to strip away and then just the storytelling is so fraught and emotional.

And then I thought, how did you ever have a season two, like the first season

So like, what's story after that?

And I honestly think season two is better than season one and it goes

post COVID.

Yes.

It goes off into like six different places like you don't.

is, it is so fascinating.

huh?

So I just, I am inducting Greg Whiteley, kudos to you for

Pivoting.

Pivoting.

and trying to figure out like, okay, the Metta ness of watching them, trying

And then the coach on dancing with us.

Like, it just is so fascinating.

And I think that ultimately the thesis statement of the show is what do we put up

Yeah.

Which I think is just so much more important to look at examine questions showcase

You know, it's like, it actually is an intelligent story for reality television.

And it's highlighting these people that are committed to something that other people laugh

I'm involved.

I'm there.

I'm, I'm watching.

So I'm inducting you, Greg Whiteley for your genius.

Genius first and second season of Cheer on Netflix.

Wow.
