. CHELSEY: Hey!
TREY:Hello?
TREY:Hello.
TREY:Hello.
TREY:Welcome to Review That Review.
TREY:The podcast dedicated to reviewing..
CHELSEY:Reviews!
CHELSEY:We're just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of being two older white men we're us.
CHELSEY:And instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we rate and review those hilarious, scathing,
TREY:I was wondering where you were going with that.
TREY:That's Chelsey Donn!
CHELSEY:And that's Trey Gerrald!
TREY:And together, we aren't crotchety old white men from Chicago, and some
TREY:We are..
VOICEOVER:The Review Queens.
TREY:Hey Review Queen, how you doing?
CHELSEY:I'm good.
CHELSEY:I think that's so accurate that they sit on the aisle.
CHELSEY:That's true.
CHELSEY:I like that as a character description in general!
TREY:I know it was all very punny, and appropriate.
CHELSEY:It was very punny.
CHELSEY:And I think as an adult, I'm just realizing that anyway, you got to be
CHELSEY:I'm great.
CHELSEY:I had a mani-pedi for the first time in a very, very, very, very long time.
CHELSEY:And I knew it was going to change my life and just make me feel happier and better.
CHELSEY:And that's why I did it.
CHELSEY:And it delivered, I feel so much better.
TREY:What color?
CHELSEY:I decided to go with lavender!
TREY:Oh yes!
TREY:Like our photo shoot.
CHELSEY:It's true.
CHELSEY:It's just like the photo shoot.
CHELSEY:I also just really like a purple you're mostly gonna find me in a purple.
CHELSEY:Do you ever put a color on the nail?
CHELSEY:How do you feel about that?
TREY:I, you know, I did do a play in Key West several years ago where I played a drag
CHELSEY:Really?
TREY:Oh, yeah.
TREY:Key West is very open and lovely.
TREY:I mean, they're like everything exists in Key West.
TREY:There's like people that maybe aren't so open-minded because it is Florida still, but
CHELSEY:We have the full spectrum.
TREY:Yes.
TREY:And their motto is One Human Family.
TREY:So they do all exist together and that's lovely.
TREY:So it's like whatever, but red is a shocking color, but it is trendy now for boys to have their
TREY:Uh, sexuality, I've toyed, I've thought about it, but
CHELSEY:I'm here for it.
TREY:David's dad gets, clear polish, which I think is really cute.
CHELSEY:Yeah, my dad gets manicures too.
CHELSEY:And he just says, I think just like Buff em, you know, no polish at all on his,
CHELSEY:I really truthfully believe you just feel better after you get a mani pedi!
CHELSEY:It's like, there's like a magical, it's like getting on, um, like the Magic School Bus.
CHELSEY:What was her name?
CHELSEY:Miss...?
TREY:Miss Frizzle!
CHELSEY:Miss Frizzle!
CHELSEY:You know, the manicurists.
CHELSEY:They take me somewhere better.
TREY:Well, shall we get into some real trauma that you and I are each going through every day,
CHELSEY:I think we should.
CHELSEY:I need this.
VOICEOVER:Lodge A Complaint!
TREY:I had to Google how to pronounce it.
CHELSEY:Okay.
TREY:Capcha.
CHELSEY:Cap..
CHELSEY:well ugh!
CHELSEY:God!
CHELSEY:Captcha.
CHELSEY:Don't even get me started!
CHELSEY:I, I, I...
TREY:You know what it is!
CHELSEY:Yes, of course I, is it reCaptcha or Captcha, but either way.
CHELSEY:It's horrible.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:That was another question because I wasn't sure what the difference is.
CHELSEY:Right?
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So anyone who isn't understanding and is thinking that I'm saying ketchup.
TREY:Captcha or reCaptcha is like that computer software.
TREY:That's trying to prove if you are a human or a robot, anytime you're trying to go into
TREY:I remember the old days of like AOL, when it was like typing this word that has
TREY:And now it's all these pictures, like we're playing Pictionary and it's like your memory.
TREY:You're trying to figure out which one is a hydrant, which one has bicycles.
TREY:There are so many times when I get anxious where it's like click all the boxes that
TREY:Sometimes it's another fire hydrant and it's like all of this so that I can buy dog food.
TREY:Like what in the world?!
TREY:Captcha is insane.
TREY:Are robots, is this really happening?
TREY:Like robots are trying to log into Amazon.
TREY:Maybe, I mean, I don't know, but like I hate Captcha reCaptcha.
TREY:I'm all for privacy and security, but like, can it just be a little more straight forward?
TREY:Do they have to be really blurry?
TREY:Ultra zoomed in pictures of like highways.
TREY:Like, why can't it just be clear?
TREY:Why are the pictures fuzzy?
CHELSEY:I I'm with you.
TREY:God.
TREY:I hate it.
CHELSEY:I, I'm going to tell you something now that's going to make you even more angry.
TREY:What?
CHELSEY:So someone that I know, I cannot remember when or how I figured this or found this out.
CHELSEY:I think she works in tech or something.
CHELSEY:She told me that not only are they doing that to us, but we're actually working for them when we're
CHELSEY:Is this a bridge?
CHELSEY:Is this..
CHELSEY:They're using us to collect data about those images.
TREY:To what end?
CHELSEY:to use for, I think like image recognition, software that they're
CHELSEY:And our role in that experiment is that we must say, where is a fire hydrant so that eventually
CHELSEY:So we are actually employees.
CHELSEY:When we're completing this Captcha.
CHELSEY:So not only do you need to do something that is quite annoying, you're actually an intern.
CHELSEY:You are an unpaid intern.
TREY:Oh, I've been an intern more times than I want to be, but it is interesting.
TREY:We're literally doing the thing that the thing is meant to be withholding.
CHELSEY:Exactly.
TREY:I would rather do the number digits with the line through the scratches than the pictures,
CHELSEY:Yeah, but the robots can do it now.
CHELSEY:The robots can do the nine X two five one.
TREY:So what is it going to be next?
TREY:It's going to be like, which one is a brownie or like which one is green?
CHELSEY:Correct.
CHELSEY:It's going to get harder.
CHELSEY:They're going to make it harder for us.
CHELSEY:We're going to have to work harder just to buy a bag of dog food.
CHELSEY:Unbelievable.
TREY:I hate it.
TREY:That's my complaint.
CHELSEY:Such a good complaint.
CHELSEY:Admittedly was on my list as well.
CHELSEY:Love it.
CHELSEY:Yes.
TREY:All right.
TREY:What about you?
TREY:What is your complaint for today?
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:My complaint for today is pumps.
CHELSEY:Like anything with a pump.
CHELSEY:Now say, stay with me, stay with me.
CHELSEY:I'm talking like soap.
CHELSEY:I'm talking.
CHELSEY:Bodywash I'm talking lotion.
CHELSEY:I'm talking.
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:Now here's why I love a pump.
CHELSEY:Pumps make life much easier.
CHELSEY:However, I find that across the board, no matter what product I buy that has a pump function.
CHELSEY:When I am about a third of the bottle left, the pump stops working.
TREY:Right.
CHELSEY:And then I gotta take...
CHELSEY:If it's makeup, you got to take off the top.
CHELSEY:And then I'm for a while I'm using the makeup product.
CHELSEY:There's still plenty of makeup in there, but I'm now scooping it up with the stem
CHELSEY:Like that way.
CHELSEY:Same thing with like lotion or soap.
CHELSEY:What is this?
CHELSEY:What's happening with the pump.
CHELSEY:I've tried to like rinse it off and declog it.
CHELSEY:Cause sometimes I've read that.
CHELSEY:They say it's my fault because I'm gross and clog.
CHELSEY:I clogged it.
CHELSEY:I don't know...
CHELSEY:where it just clogs, but I've tried to unclog it.
CHELSEY:And the problem usually persists.
CHELSEY:Do you have this problem?
TREY:Yes.
TREY:And I once saw, and ordered off of Shark Tank.
TREY:It's called the Spatty Daddy.
CHELSEY:Yes!
CHELSEY:Spatty Daddy's great.
CHELSEY:But like, yeah, to get the very end of the inside of the thing, I thought...
TREY:They have the little teeny one.
CHELSEY:Yes, that is good.
CHELSEY:But..
TREY:But why do we have to have the product?
CHELSEY:Why do we need the product?
CHELSEY:Like, why do I have to take off the top, buy a Spatty Daddy?
CHELSEY:It's just, it's ridiculous.
CHELSEY:Why have we not found a way to have a pump that just doesn't get clogged?
CHELSEY:And what is it is that there's not enough of the product in the bottle to help with gravity?
CHELSEY:I don't know.
TREY:Yeah, that's my question.
TREY:I wonder if it's gravity that..
CHELSEY:Is it gravity?
TREY:...the suction or something.
CHELSEY:Because I have a lot of beef with gravity, you know what I mean?
CHELSEY:So like that could be a whole nother complaint, but the point is it sucks.
CHELSEY:It's annoying.
TREY:I think that like, if our podcast had a sub Reddit, it would just be like inventions.
CHELSEY:Yes!
TREY:Well, very valuable complaint.
TREY:I thoroughly recognize that pain and trauma.
TREY:Hopefully there will be a solution, uh, by this time next year.
CHELSEY:I sure hope so.
TREY:All right.
TREY:Should we do the thing?
TREY:Should we jump into some online reviews,
CHELSEY:Please!
VOICEOVER:Assess That Kvetch!
TREY:Chelsey girl, you're first, today!
CHELSEY:I am!
TREY:Take it away.
TREY:RQ
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:So today I have an Amazon one-star review written by Kit-Kat, like the candy, and it is
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:I looked this up for personal use and I found Kit-Kats review and it felt a little suspish...
CHELSEY:And so I want us to examine it together.
CHELSEY:Here we go.
CHELSEY:The title is save your money.
CHELSEY:Go look at Scout's Honor instead, dot dot dot the stain and odor remover one, it works.
CHELSEY:Okay?
CHELSEY:I absolutely dislike this product.
CHELSEY:I've been using Scout's Honor for over six months now.
CHELSEY:And the price had increased considerably.
CHELSEY:$50 a gallon.
CHELSEY:So I started searching for an alternative.
CHELSEY:I've got a very smelly beagle whose urine smells like the worst fish ever, and
CHELSEY:Plus the hubby, makes sure we don't buy aimless things just to test them out.
CHELSEY:Well upon delivery, my hubby mixed a 32 ounce spray bottle up and
CHELSEY:Almost immediately, I understood what the other reviewers were talking about and how
CHELSEY:And I wear perfume every day.
CHELSEY:So it's not like I'm sensitive to odors.
CHELSEY:Not only did her pee smell still stink.
CHELSEY:It was now masked with some kind of perfume that a 70-year-old might wear.
CHELSEY:I'm not a quitter so I've been using it on the daily, even washing it down
CHELSEY:And still the same smell.
CHELSEY:Like it's honestly just grain, perfume, coverup.
CHELSEY:I'm so sad that I did get what I paid for and I will be going back to Scout's Honor.
CHELSEY:If I hadn't purchased straight from their site, I would direct you to my review of them on Amazon.
CHELSEY:But don't take my word for it.
CHELSEY:Go look at the Scout's Honor reviews.
CHELSEY:I've begged my hubby to return it, but he's just as stubborn as I am and keeps
CHELSEY:But it's been over three weeks and it should have worked from day one.
CHELSEY:I wish I could give it no stars, but I can't.
CHELSEY:I feel almost bad writing this review.
CHELSEY:But when something like urine is wafting into your home, thinking that you've
CHELSEY:So for the past three days, I've been sprinkling baking soda and using a
CHELSEY:And it's finally gotten rid of the perfume urine smell because what I
TREY:Wow.
TREY:Kit-Kat okay.
CHELSEY:Kit-Kat!
TREY:Wait, I wrote down a bunch of contradictions in this review.
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:So many.
TREY:Kit-Kat says that the hubby won't let them just buy things to test them out.
TREY:And literally the next sentence says, 'so we bought it and my husband mixed the thing...
CHELSEY:...my hubby tested it out...
TREY:...and the hubby tested it out.
TREY:Kit-Kat starts the review saying like my beagles pee smells like fish.
TREY:And then later is like the odor I wear perfume.
TREY:I'm not sensitive to odors, but they've literally described the odor of the dog's pee as fish.
TREY:Why does the phrase hubby annoy me so much.
CHELSEY:It annoys me too.
CHELSEY:I don't know.
CHELSEY:There's something about, it's just gross.
CHELSEY:It's just gross.
CHELSEY:And also somebody that's going to write hubby.
CHELSEY:I don't know.
CHELSEY:I have so many thoughts.
TREY:That's what it's like.
TREY:It's not the word hubby, but someone being 'my hubby!'
CHELSEY:Right.
CHELSEY:Exactly.
CHELSEY:Like using it three times in the review is sus.
CHELSEY:Like I, I found this review in general just to be very sus that's why I brought
CHELSEY:And I don't think I've, brought one in, in a while that I was explicitly like, this is suspicious.
CHELSEY:Because this was kind of a no brand product.
CHELSEY:It literally was the name of the product was like dog urine scent removal spray.
CHELSEY:Like you know how like on Amazon now it's, it's become a popular trend for products
CHELSEY:So that was an example of what we were dealing with with this product.
CHELSEY:So the fact that Kit-Kat mentioned this other brand Scout's Honor in their review so many
CHELSEY:And that was the first thing that made me feel like this is suspicious to me.
TREY:Oh, literally my eyebrows, like crinkled because I was like, oh, this
TREY:but no, because the first like three sentences, it's like, they doubled
TREY:So I was like, oh, so I guess they're not for Scout...
CHELSEY:It was very interesting to me because it was like, the amount of times
CHELSEY:Right?
CHELSEY:Like they had some relation.
CHELSEY:That's how it felt to me.
CHELSEY:But then the review itself was very specific.
CHELSEY:We know she has a beagle.
CHELSEY:We know the beagle's urine smells like, we know that she thinks that smells
CHELSEY:We know about some sort of weird dynamic between her and her husband, where he must
CHELSEY:even when the pump starts working, they're going to get us, they're going to get a...
TREY:Spatty Daddy.
CHELSEY:Spatty Daddy, and they're going to get the last little drop that they
CHELSEY:Which, I mean, good.
CHELSEY:We shouldn't be wasting, but we learned a lot about her.
CHELSEY:That was so specific that it made it seem authentic, but the, the product placement of this
TREY:Well, I thought maybe it is an ad for Scout's Honor because Kit-Kat makes
TREY:But I actually think that Kit-Kat's last name is Hammer, and this is an ad for Arm & Hammer's
CHELSEY:I have heard this.
TREY:Does it work?
CHELSEY:I haven't tried it.
CHELSEY:I was admittedly looking at this product because I recently purchased artificial grass and I
CHELSEY:But in my research of the products, I did come across a lot of people that were
CHELSEY:So I think it is sort of a known thing amongst people that have artificial grass.
TREY:Oh, this was specifically for artificial grass urine cleaner.
CHELSEY:Yes.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:Right.
TREY:I forgot that part.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:So it attaches to the hose basically.
TREY:Right.
TREY:Hence the husband mixing the water with the.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
TREY:Oh, I am curious.
TREY:What is Kit-Kats spelling like?
TREY:Are there issues?
CHELSEY:I had no issues.
CHELSEY:I think that they might it's quite possible that Kit-Kat as a teacher,
CHELSEY:All the grammar was, was very well done.
CHELSEY:I didn't stumble over any of the words.
TREY:I wonder if this is a product that's like now in White Diamonds scent?
CHELSEY:Hmm.
TREY:Did you get that reference?
CHELSEY:No.
TREY:Elizabeth Taylor commercials, "Here, these always brought me luck!"
TREY:And she throws her White Diamonds 70 year old perfume.
CHELSEY:That's right.
CHELSEY:Oh, that's right.
TREY:It seems that Kit-Kat really experienced this overwhelming scent
TREY:It just covered it.
TREY:So I wonder.
TREY:I don't know.
TREY:I I'm having a hard time with this because I can't tell.
TREY:I mean, it does make me think.
TREY:I need to try Scout's Honor.
CHELSEY:Right.
CHELSEY:That's the thing.
CHELSEY:And that's what I was going to say.
CHELSEY:Like, what's the value of this review, because for me, it did sort of turn me off from buying
CHELSEY:Some of the five-star reviews that I read for this product, they seem like they might've been bots.
TREY:Oooh!
CHELSEY:Because there were little phrases that were just not quite right.
CHELSEY:and that made it seem bot-like.
CHELSEY:'Product so good.' 'My life now changed because.'
TREY:'Excellent product had great experience.' Right.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:Like that kind of stuff.
CHELSEY:And I was like, this seems fake, so when I read this, I did say, I'm going to pump the
CHELSEY:So, If I'm going to give Kit-Kat credit at all, it did make me pause about whether or
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:I could see myself.
TREY:There's a company that's like a urine destroying product that I think is like the most superior.
TREY:And I recently purchased like a different version on Amazon and it just isn't as good.
TREY:So I could see..
CHELSEY:So do you think you would go in the reviews?
TREY:I mean, I could see if this is real.
CHELSEY:Sure.
TREY:That I could.
TREY:I mean, I get the point of like, I really tried to get a cheaper product and like, it isn't working.
TREY:And so like, if you're here reading the reviews, you know, my recommendation is like this other
CHELSEY:I mean, I almost like wish that she would have taken a moment just to say,
CHELSEY:Like she did actually they'll have the one line in there that she said.
CHELSEY:I'm taking that back.
CHELSEY:Cause she had one line in here where she said she wished she could, she could direct you to
CHELSEY:So like go ahead and look and see for yourself what other people are writing in their reviews.
TREY:Yeah, I do feel like there is an impact here for me.
TREY:I would imagine this product would have a strong perfume odor that isn't
CHELSEY:Right.
TREY:It does make me feel like I don't want to buy this product, which is interesting.
CHELSEY:Exactly.
CHELSEY:So it did have an impact.
CHELSEY:So that's the only thing that, um, you know, I'm leaning towards Kit-Kat for, but definitely
CHELSEY:Are we ready to crown this do we think?
TREY:I think so.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:Let's do it.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating,
TREY:Alright, you ready?
CHELSEY:I am ready.
VOICEOVER:Total score.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:So Trey is holding up three crowns.
CHELSEY:I'm holding up two and a half crowns.
CHELSEY:Trey, let us know why you picked three crowns.
TREY:I picked three because it really took me on a journey.
TREY:At first, I thought this was going to be like a fake placement ad.
TREY:I'm unable to decide if it is or isn't.
TREY:I do have an impact that I feel like I should just look for a different product because
TREY:I'm trying to buy like a urine destroyer.
TREY:So ultimately all of that, I think washes out for me that like, it
TREY:I don't know.
TREY:What about you?
TREY:Why did you do two and a half?
CHELSEY:I took off a half point, cause I felt like TMI about the dynamic with the husband.
CHELSEY:I don't want to feel bad for you and be questioning whether or not you have marital issues
CHELSEY:I'm sorry, maybe that was a little bit harsh.
CHELSEY:I hope you're okay.
CHELSEY:If you're listening to this, I hope everything is good with you and your husband.
CHELSEY:Kit-Kat okay.
CHELSEY:Um, no, I, I, I gave it a two and a half purely because I did pause and not buy the product
CHELSEY:I'm assuming the Kit-Kats a woman.
CHELSEY:I shouldn't be, maybe Kit-Kats a man.
CHELSEY:Anyway, that was why I gave it the two and a half.
CHELSEY:I'm still a little bit suspishous.
CHELSEY:I'll be honest.
TREY:Yeah, I am too.
TREY:I can't put my finger on what I think the truth is.
CHELSEY:So there we go.
TREY:Good job.
TREY:Fun Review.
CHELSEY:Thank you.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:That was fun.
CHELSEY:Let's take a quick break though.
CHELSEY:And when we come back, we can get into RQ T's review.
CHELSEY:I can't wait.
TREY:Oooh.
TREY:Love it.
TREY:I got to stretch for this one.
VOICEOVER:Hold your crown.
VOICEOVER:We'll be right back.
CHELSEY:That was a good stretch.
CHELSEY:It was
TREY:All right.
TREY:It's One-Star-Zinger time.
TREY:And it's time Chelsey to jump on the Meryl-Go-Round!
VOICEOVER:I don't feel like an icon.
VOICEOVER:Most of the days, I feel like 'I can't!' That's with an,.
VOICEOVER:A'..
CHELSEY:I gotta be honest.
CHELSEY:I missed the 'wer-a-wer-a' or whatever you used to do at the top.
CHELSEY:There we go.
CHELSEY:I feel better now.
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:Trey and I have each pick a rotten scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger and with 30 seconds

CHELSEY:Oh.
CHELSEY:That's unfortunate.

CHELSEY:Oh, they're good?
CHELSEY:Okay, great.
TREY:Okay.

CHELSEY:I'm glad you picked a little bit of a longer one because mine's a little bit longer too,
CHELSEY:What else do they do?
TREY:Party City has like a button and I'm assuming you select from
TREY:No, I would not recommend to a friend.
CHELSEY:I wouldn't recommend it either.
CHELSEY:Okay, Trey.
CHELSEY:Are you ready?

CHELSEY:I should really be more prepared with this.

CHELSEY:I have to do the hands!
TREY:It's so like earnest.
CHELSEY:I have to!
CHELSEY:Oh, my goodness.
CHELSEY:I think you might've won.
CHELSEY:I feel like you're winning streak continues,
TREY:But only by one, you got four of my friend.
CHELSEY:I know.
CHELSEY:It was long, it was long.
CHELSEY:Good Job, Trey.
TREY:Thank you.
TREY:Thank you.
CHELSEY:I got to practice.
CHELSEY:I think you've really been pulling ahead lately.
TREY:That was fun.
CHELSEY:That was fun.
CHELSEY:Let's go back to it.
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:We are back from that game break.
CHELSEY:And it's your turn Trey!
CHELSEY:Where is your review from this week?
TREY:All right.
TREY:I changed this review last minute.
TREY:I found this before we started the podcast and have been sitting on it.
TREY:So I'm lifting it from my seat.
TREY:And here we go.
TREY:This is a one star review from TrustPilot for the dating website, OKCupid.
TREY:This review is from Robert C and Robert C's subject is, 'nothing but 30 plus year old,
CHELSEY:Oh yes.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:Nothing, but 30 plus year old delusional women who still think they have value after they have
TREY:Now, all of a sudden at age 45, they want to act all pristine.
TREY:Like they are born again virgins.
TREY:Same ol', same ol' dot dot dot.
TREY:Nothing but a laundry list of quote unquote expectations and quote unquote requirements yet
TREY:Do yourself a favor men, and go MGTOW.
TREY:And better yourself, physically and financially and leave women out of the equation.
TREY:These women have nothing to offer you guys except being their little quote unquote play thing.
TREY:When they get bored, while they suck out all of your time and finances with dates
CHELSEY:Uhhhh!
CHELSEY:Sorry.
TREY:They certainly don't act like it.
TREY:But Hey, if you want an over tattooed self-entitled princess, that looks
TREY:Go right ahead.
CHELSEY:I am so mad.
CHELSEY:First of all, I am swiping all the way left on Robert C!
CHELSEY:Ugh!
TREY:What the...
CHELSEY:Okay.
CHELSEY:First of all!
TREY:Wait.
TREY:Yeah.
TREY:Go!
CHELSEY:What is MGTO...?
CHELSEY:What is that?
TREY:I was just...I don't know!
TREY:I was just going to ask you!
CHELSEY:What is it?
TREY:Do yourself a favor, men and go MGTOW.
TREY:All caps go....
CHELSEY:It has to mean something.
CHELSEY:M G T O W?
TREY:I'm going to look it up.
CHELSEY:We gotta.
CHELSEY:I gotta know.
TREY:M G T O W Meaning..
CHELSEY:It's gotta be an acronym.
TREY:Oh yeah.
TREY:Meaning what is it?
TREY:Men going their own way.
TREY:The rise of toxic male.
TREY:It's a Guardian article.
TREY:Is the first, the first result as a guardian article, men going their own way.
TREY:The rise of a toxic male.
CHELSEY:I mean, he, Robert...
CHELSEY:Rob...
CHELSEY:Oh my God.
CHELSEY:Robert C, you are toxic and not in like a cute Britney Spears way.
CHELSEY:Free Britney.
CHELSEY:Anyway, what is happening?
CHELSEY:I feel personally attacked by Robert.
TREY:What is Prince Charming Simp?
CHELSEY:Oh, do you know what a simp is?
TREY:No.
CHELSEY:I think a simp is like a guy that will do anything for a woman.
CHELSEY:Like kind of like cuckold.
CHELSEY:I want to say.
TREY:A slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women.
CHELSEY:Yeah, so like cuckold, you know, like that kind of...
CHELSEY:I mean, it just sounds like Robert C is not accepting the fact that he has a really shitty
CHELSEY:Robert I'm judging you and I can't even help it.
CHELSEY:I'm so mad.
TREY:What do you even imagine Robert C's OkCupid profile is like?
CHELSEY:Uh, just gross.
CHELSEY:I feel like Robert C I don't...
CHELSEY:I had a vision of him with a bunny.
CHELSEY:I don't know why I had a vision of him with, as, like a bunny guy, but...
TREY:A dead bunny!
CHELSEY:Yes!
TREY:That he's shot with his riffles?
CHELSEY:Yes.
CHELSEY:Exactly.
CHELSEY:That's how I picture Robert C like showing off like an animal than he's just killed.
TREY:It is very interesting to me throughout this review.
TREY:Robert uses a lot of capitalization.
TREY:Every time, it's men it's in capital M every time it's woman, it's capital w.
CHELSEY:Hmmm.
TREY:Prince Charming Simp, all capitalized.
TREY:Pillsbury Biscuit Can all capitalized.
CHELSEY:Screw that.
CHELSEY:Screw that line.
CHELSEY:That, that line about the Pillsbury biscuit made me so mad.
TREY:What do you think Robert's body type is?
CHELSEY:Not good.
TREY:Yeah, I don't imagine that either.
CHELSEY:I don't think he, I think he does not.
CHELSEY:I think he's not a fit guy and I think he's gross and I wouldn't trust Robert's review on Trustpilot
TREY:I, when I was reading this, I was reminded of our episode where you, your first
TREY:Also Trustpilot this is just so telling about how Robert C.
TREY:views the world.
CHELSEY:Sees the world.
CHELSEY:Oh my God.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:He has such issues with women.
CHELSEY:It's like screaming off the page in a way that is really, like, take it up in therapy
TREY:What do you think 'women are not women anymore' ..What do you think he means by that?
CHELSEY:I think that he means that women are not submissive and women
CHELSEY:Like what can I make you for breakfast, honey?
CHELSEY:Do you want me to massage your feet?
TREY:Well, that's, that's what I was imagining as well.
TREY:But if you go down this prince charming simp analogy, Prince charming's wife
CHELSEY:That's speaking to more of an overarching patriarchy, right.
CHELSEY:That we deal with.
CHELSEY:And that we're, we're all working on removing that narrative that we were given as children
TREY:There are so many gems in this, like riding the C Carousel.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:What?
CHELSEY:What does that mean?
TREY:I never heard that phrase.
CHELSEY:What does the C carousel mean?
CHELSEY:What are you saying, Robert?
CHELSEY:That it's just like your, like, that you're a C?
CHELSEY:Is he say, I took it when he first said it as like, you know, when you say to someone
CHELSEY:Like, you are far from top tier my friend.
TREY:Correct.
TREY:But my thought about C carousel is like the baggage carousel at an airport.
TREY:There's no difference between the A carousel or the C carousel.
TREY:Like I think the point here is like, you're either.
CHELSEY:You think that's what he meant?
TREY:No, I think what he meant is what you're saying.
TREY:It's like this number scale, like we have this, like you're a nine or you're a two.
CHELSEY:Right.
CHELSEY:Exactly.
TREY:But the C lettering roster doesn't really make sense to me,
TREY:Also the fact that we had to Google and didn't know what M G T O W even meant, just tells
TREY:Also like this whole born again Virgin scenario...
CHELSEY:What is that like?
CHELSEY:Are you saying that a woman is no longer attractive to you because she's older and
CHELSEY:like.
CHELSEY:Robert is so gross.
CHELSEY:He's making me very upset.
TREY:It's really like confusing.
TREY:It's like terrifying that these are the kinds of men that are on OkCupid.
CHELSEY:It really, I mean, I will say if there's one impact that this review
CHELSEY:No offense OkCupid, if I'm generalizing.
TREY:But I imagine Robert is no longer on it.
CHELSEY:That's true.
CHELSEY:Maybe I'm maybe it's safe to go back.
TREY:I mean, it's, it is very interesting because I am a gay man.
TREY:I like men.
TREY:And this review is just everything that is wrong with men.
TREY:I mean, it's like hilarious that Robert as a man is like berating the women gender.
TREY:And it's like, all you get from this review is how awful he is as a man.
CHELSEY:Yeah!
CHELSEY:It's true.
CHELSEY:You're right.
CHELSEY:It has the complete opposite effect.
TREY:I want to, like, I want to do an experiment right now with you.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
TREY:I want to go through our usual checkpoints and like really try to apply them.
TREY:Do you think this review provides any value, unique or new information about OkCupid?
CHELSEY:No.
CHELSEY:It does not.
TREY:No.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:The spelling and grammar.
CHELSEY:Okay.
TREY:Does it look like they did a spell check before hitting submit?
TREY:Thoroughly 100%?
TREY:Absolutely.
TREY:It is.
TREY:It is beautifully type font written.
TREY:Sure.
TREY:Do we believe them?
TREY:Were they being truthful or shady disgruntled former employee or relative of the owner.
TREY:Do we believe them?
CHELSEY:Well, I believe that this is Robert's reality, but I don't, but I think they might
TREY:That's what's hard for me is like, I think Robert is being truthful to Robert's
CHELSEY:Exactly.
TREY:It's all...
CHELSEY:And I think that's really what it's about.
CHELSEY:It's like, can I trust what this person has to say?
CHELSEY:No, I can't.
TREY:Right because I don't view the, clearly this person has a very
CHELSEY:Has a world view, Thank God, that is different than either of ours.
TREY:Do we think this is a common experience or a fluke experience?
TREY:Is it typical of OkCupid?
CHELSEY:I don't think so.
CHELSEY:I hope not.
TREY:Is OkCupid free?
CHELSEY:Yes, I believe so.
CHELSEY:I don't know if they have like a paid premium.
CHELSEY:Most of them have like an upsell, I think.
TREY:Humor.
TREY:Were we entertained?
CHELSEY:No.
TREY:No.
TREY:I'm entertained by the description of who Robert C is as a man.
CHELSEY:Yes.
TREY:Which is not Robert C's intention.
CHELSEY:That's why I can't attribute any of the entertainment value back to Robert.
CHELSEY:I can attribute it to the ridiculousness of him as a character.
TREY:Right.
TREY:This is like when they were filming Blair Witch, and it was like, there's no script, but here
TREY:And it's like, okay, you're going to be playing Robert C, this is how Robert C sees the world.
CHELSEY:And it's like, got it immediately.
CHELSEY:I mean, roll camera.
TREY:And then do we care if we were this reviewer's grandmother where we put this
TREY:What is the impact?
TREY:Is it a deal breaker?
CHELSEY:Yeah, I would kick Robert out and tell him to go somewhere
TREY:If I was the grandmother, I would put a bar of soap in his mouth.
TREY:I would spank his Fanny and I would send him to dinner...
TREY:to bed without dinner.
CHELSEY:I agree.
CHELSEY:I would be very disappointed if Robert C were my grandchild.
TREY:Thoroughly.
TREY:Does this have an impact for you as far as OkCupid?
CHELSEY:No.
TREY:Right.
TREY:It's right.
CHELSEY:No, it doesn't I mean, it does, in the sense that, like I said, like no offense, OkCupid,
CHELSEY:Like, thank God Robert's gone.
CHELSEY:But if there's a large populous of Roberts on OkCupid then?
CHELSEY:Yeah, it affects me because no, I don't want to be around that.
CHELSEY:But other than that, which is not really OkCupid's fault.
CHELSEY:No it doesn't.
TREY:I mean, I think I could crown this.
CHELSEY:Let's crown it.
TREY:Okay.
CHELSEY:Can I give zero crowns?
CHELSEY:Is that a thing I can do?
TREY:Do you think it's worthy of zero crowns?
CHELSEY:I'm very mad, but let's tabulate
TREY:Let's tabulate.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are tabulating.
TREY:Do you think you know?
CHELSEY:I know.
VOICEOVER:Total score.
CHELSEY:Alright.
CHELSEY:Trey gave it one crown.
CHELSEY:I gave it a half crown.
CHELSEY:I'll start.
CHELSEY:I gave it a half crown because the spelling and grammar, that was really the
CHELSEY:Other than that, I detested him and I feel.
CHELSEY:Just very protective of myself and other women who might take any word of what
CHELSEY:And I want to be the one to tell myself and every other woman listening to never, ever, ever think
CHELSEY:And you're beautiful and you're amazing.
CHELSEY:And you're a Queen.
CHELSEY:And, I'm just sorry that there are people like Robert out there that
CHELSEY:So that's what I want to take my assessment time talking about.
CHELSEY:Half crown for Robert.
CHELSEY:Why did you give a crown?
TREY:Valid?
TREY:I did.
TREY:I thought about half and I thought about one.
TREY:I personally don't think that it's a worthy of zero crowns.
TREY:I do think it's at least half a crown because of the spelling and because the impact here
TREY:But if this is a kind of person that could be on the service, that makes me feel a little bit,
TREY:So that's why I did one because.
TREY:Basically half for the spelling and then the other half is because it does make me
CHELSEY:A Robert.
TREY:...crazy people like Robert on OkCupid?
TREY:Wow.
TREY:So that's why I did one crown.
CHELSEY:Alright!
TREY:Yikes.
TREY:That was such an odd point of view of the world.
TREY:Isn't that sad that someone who's like looking for love has that much hang up in their life.
CHELSEY:Yeah like a lot of contraditions...
TREY:you're never going to find,
CHELSEY:You're never going to find it.
CHELSEY:If that's how you feel about it.
CHELSEY:So, okay.
TREY:Also in my tabulating, I was just looking over at the expectations and
TREY:And it's like, that's, you're just, that's what you're doing.
CHELSEY:Yeah.
CHELSEY:Terrible.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:Let's forget Robert C.
TREY:What a mess.
CHELSEY:I always feel like whenever we have one of these reviewers that leave me, like,
CHELSEY:And let's just clear the space for a second.
CHELSEY:I'm going to pull out my crystal that I got for both of us.
CHELSEY:I'm going to hold it up for Patreon.
TREY:I got mine too!
CHELSEY:Anyway, let's clear the space, bring in some good energy because there are
CHELSEY:And I can't wait to honor two of them right now.
CHELSEY:So.
CHELSEY:All the crystals and I feel better.
CHELSEY:All right.
TREY:Me too.
TREY:All right.
TREY:Chelsey, who are you inducting today for
VOICEOVER:My Royal Highness.
CHELSEY:I'm so glad you asked.
CHELSEY:Today, I'm going to induct a fellow actor named Lora Bofill.
CHELSEY:She's @lorabofill that's, L O R a B O F I L L.
CHELSEY:On Instagram and Lora and I were in Good Girls together.
CHELSEY:She was my CoStar that she was the other girl exercising with me during the workout class.
CHELSEY:And the reason why I want to induct Lora and why she's.
CHELSEY:So friggin cool is because not only is Lora a fabulous actor and she's
CHELSEY:And not just like any little doctor, like she's a doctor at Cedar Sinai, and she's literally
CHELSEY:No one that knows Lora or very few people who know Lora as Dr.
CHELSEY:Bofill at Cedar Sinai know that she's an actor.
CHELSEY:And the people that know her as an actor don't know that she's a doctor.
CHELSEY:In fact, when I worked with her on set, it never came up I just thought she was a
CHELSEY:And I had so much respect for her, for our conversations that were in that domain.
CHELSEY:Meanwhile, when COVID happened, she started posting medical advice for people dealing
CHELSEY:And only because I followed Lora and I saw these posts, did I even know that she was a doctor.
CHELSEY:So I don't know how a superhuman like this exists.
CHELSEY:I just spoke with her for like an hour yesterday.
CHELSEY:Cause she was helping me out with something.
CHELSEY:And just the fact that she took the time to talk to me when she's like fixing the world
CHELSEY:I can't think of anyone more deserving of this.
CHELSEY:Uh, then Lora.
CHELSEY:So @lorabofill go follow her.
CHELSEY:She's amazing.
CHELSEY:And I'm is wishing her.
CHELSEY:So much mazel and success because she deserves it because she is amazing.
CHELSEY:So thank you, Lora.
TREY:Wow!
TREY:And I love how she spells her name.
CHELSEY:Yeah!
CHELSEY:Isn;t it cool?
CHELSEY:All right.
CHELSEY:Try tell us who you're inducting for My Royal Highness.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So today I am inducting another animal rescue situation.
TREY:Okay.
TREY:So today I'm going to induct Mission Driven Goods.
TREY:They are on Instagram @missiondrivengoods.
TREY:So this is an organization created by Scott Poore and basically.
TREY:Scott had this passion for, you know, that animal in an animal shelter that has
CHELSEY:Yeah, like that.
CHELSEY:Like the older one?
TREY:The one that no one is excited about, no one wants to play with.
TREY:No one is adopting.
TREY:So Scott had a soft spot in his heart for that animal.
TREY:And it became Scott's mission in life and created this organization that sells apparel as a means
TREY:And Scott sort of started making news because.
TREY:Uh, in order to spark awareness for these animals, he's done some pretty extreme things
TREY:One day he slept for an entire week, seven days, inside of a kennel at a shelter
TREY:Also spent like 30 minutes inside of a car, uh, without air conditioning to
TREY:They got a sponsorship to do a billboard for this little dog named Sally Sue.
CHELSEY:Awww.
TREY:Who is a pit bull who had spent over three years in a shelter in order to like
TREY:I'm so touched by people that are so committed to these defenseless
TREY:And that is Scott's whole thing.
TREY:You can go to missiondrivengoods.com.
TREY:You can buy some of their cute t-shirts.
TREY:You can also just donate to the billboard fund, which I did prior to the episode.
TREY:And I would love for all of you to do the same because Scott's doing really great stuff.
TREY:And the apparel is actually very cute.
TREY:So Scott Poore, and mission-driven goods.
TREY:You are My Royal Highness for today.
CHELSEY:Wow.
CHELSEY:I love that.
TREY:I love it too.
