TREY GERRALD:At the time of this recording, the Real Matchmaker has 48 reviews on Yelp, and their
TREY GERRALD:So according to the website, 'I did A', lot of scouring.
TREY GERRALD:So the Real Matchmaker was actually A' established as A' company in 2010, and

TREY GERRALD:Okay.

CHELSEY DONN:No puddles.
VOICEOVER:Review, That, Review.
CHELSEY DONN:All right.
CHELSEY DONN:'I am the one star review today, so 'I will be bringing the negative aspect
CHELSEY DONN:My review is written by Barry S, so here we go.
CHELSEY DONN:Jessie Kay couldn't match up A' pair of socks coming out of the dryer.
CHELSEY DONN:It all started with A' bait and switch 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:And it kept going downhill from there.
CHELSEY DONN:She presented me with A' Pretty girl At our first meeting that 'I never got to meet.
TREY GERRALD:mm-hmm.
CHELSEY DONN:'I spent thousands of dollars and the awful matches just kept on coming.
CHELSEY DONN:There was A' girl with no job.
CHELSEY DONN:A' Gold, Digger A'.
CHELSEY DONN:Two-faced, liar, A' live at home, mama's girl.
CHELSEY DONN:You name it, Jessie matches you up with them.
CHELSEY DONN:She puts out internet ads, talks with the trash that comes rolling in and
CHELSEY DONN:She blames it on the city, you and everything else she can think of, excluding her inability
CHELSEY DONN:I've had better luck on OkCupid and P o f.
CHELSEY DONN:So save your money and hope.
CHELSEY DONN:Don't give Jessie Kay A' dime.
CHELSEY DONN:You'll meet no one A' value, integrity, or kindness.
CHELSEY DONN:And save the thousands you're gonna spend on $300 dinners.
CHELSEY DONN:Her dates will choose the restaurants for Jessie Kay is A', sham, and A' fraud.
CHELSEY DONN:If you don't believe me, Give her A' call and allow her to woo you into A' dating Nightmare.
TREY GERRALD:Whoa.
TREY GERRALD:'I have A'.
TREY GERRALD:Tremendous amount of notes based on what Barry is saying.
TREY GERRALD:Okay, so 'I recognize 'I just was like swimming in seas of five stars.
TREY GERRALD:But 'I have no skin in this game.
TREY GERRALD:'I don't know what 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Think about matchmaking.
TREY GERRALD:'I kind.
CHELSEY DONN:married at how?
CHELSEY DONN:How old?
TREY GERRALD:'I was 29 when we got married, but 'I was 24 when we met.
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah, so.
TREY GERRALD:But 'I just sort of come from A' thought of like, sure, like 'I, believe
TREY GERRALD:Like that's what 'I think, but
CHELSEY DONN:going in.
CHELSEY DONN:You feel like as the consumer, you know, it's A' gamble and A' risk.
TREY GERRALD:'I mean?
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:Feel like there is some kids met.
TREY GERRALD:There is some like serendipitous events like or even Bacher.
TREY GERRALD:It's sort of magical to meet A' person you're gonna be with the rest of your
TREY GERRALD:But Okay.
TREY GERRALD:So I'm sort of coming into this sort of like 'I, don't think I'm on the side of matchmakers.
TREY GERRALD:'I will present the five star, but 'I think that's not presenting.
TREY GERRALD:A'.
TREY GERRALD:Binance here.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:I'm just hearing from Barry.
TREY GERRALD:Barry seems very unlikable Barry is coming across.
TREY GERRALD:In my opinion, they say that this matchmaker will never be able to find you.
TREY GERRALD:Anyone that's kind and 'I think there's nothing kind.
TREY GERRALD:In Barry's voice, Barry says that the women that were presented to him are trash.
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:That seems.
TREY GERRALD:Horrible.
TREY GERRALD:You're literally calling humans trash.
TREY GERRALD:You refer to someone as A' little mommy's girl and you like point out
TREY GERRALD:Like, okay, maybe that's not A' match.
TREY GERRALD:And maybe for you, ideally, and maybe you're paying A' service because
TREY GERRALD:'I think the point I'm resonating with from Barry is that they have spent A' lot of money.
TREY GERRALD:They feel like they've been duped and they feel like they've had multiple examples
CHELSEY DONN:Right.
TREY GERRALD:Okay?
TREY GERRALD:You can say that without calling people Trash.
TREY GERRALD:'I don't know, but, but 'I want to break it down more, but 'I am just off the top first.
TREY GERRALD:Listen, 'I, think Barry's an asshole.
CHELSEY DONN:'I got A'.
CHELSEY DONN:Very similar impression when 'I first read this review as well, which is one of
CHELSEY DONN:'I think that Barry does sort of seem like A' jerk.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm just pulling up A' picture for Patreon or anyone watching of Barry.
CHELSEY DONN:He has A', little bit of A' douche face.
CHELSEY DONN:Not to be like
TREY GERRALD:'I imagined this in my mind, hard to
CHELSEY DONN:Hard to please.
CHELSEY DONN:So,
TREY GERRALD:A'.
TREY GERRALD:Really interesting thing because if you are in the business of pleasing clients, what
TREY GERRALD:Like you're trying to not find duds.
TREY GERRALD:What if you happen to have A' dud as A' client?
TREY GERRALD:Because maybe Barry is the problem.
TREY GERRALD:It's not the candidates.
CHELSEY DONN:Well, if you're Patty Stenger, then you kick him out of the Millionaire Match Club,
TREY GERRALD:All right, well there you
CHELSEY DONN:whatever it is.
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:Do love off the top.
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:Think it's so hilarious.
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:Just think the first sentence, could it match A' pair of socks in the dryer?
TREY GERRALD:That is so funny.
CHELSEY DONN:it
TREY GERRALD:it was downhill from there.
CHELSEY DONN:exactly.
CHELSEY DONN:You know, that's what 'I was.
CHELSEY DONN:Think 'I was most disappointed with this review
TREY GERRALD:'I Am disappointed.
TREY GERRALD:Yes,
CHELSEY DONN:'I read 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Strong start.
CHELSEY DONN:We got humor like we're coming for it.
CHELSEY DONN:And then from there we just like Donn don't know.
CHELSEY DONN:It was like 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Think that there are points here.
CHELSEY DONN:'I really do 'I believe that like there is A' possibility that Jesse Kay 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Really like sells you in the pitch meeting and is like showing you photos of girls that she
CHELSEY DONN:Do believe maybe we're like selling something at the top that we're not delivering.
CHELSEY DONN:'I can definitely see that someone might be disheartened or disappointed by this.
CHELSEY DONN:That's why if 'I was gonna go to A' Matchmaker, 'I feel like 'I wouldn't
CHELSEY DONN:I'd wanna find like A' A' Jewish woman from like A' Shtetl.
CHELSEY DONN:That's gonna set me up.
CHELSEY DONN:You know, 'I, imagine it's really hard to upkeep that, right?
CHELSEY DONN:Like the more clients you have coming in, then the more people you have to match, then the
CHELSEY DONN:That's difficult.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:It does seem like it is A' profession of diminishing returns because presumably
TREY GERRALD:How do you guarantee that you can promise results?
TREY GERRALD:Like that seems A' little intangible to me.
CHELSEY DONN:right,
TREY GERRALD:But what if you have these excellent candidates and they do happen to match, well, then
TREY GERRALD:It's like, it just seems very hard to guarantee.
CHELSEY DONN:Right, exactly.
CHELSEY DONN:And 'I don't really know that Jesse Kay is guaranteeing 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Think that what Jesse Kay, at least in the like blurbs that we read, seems like Jesse's
CHELSEY DONN:How do, how you to like open up your heart chakra and put A' little bit of
TREY GERRALD:Right.
TREY GERRALD:Well, the internet ads thing, 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Think I've just gone on A' rollercoaster quietly over here on my side cuz 'I 'I was thinking what?
TREY GERRALD:Like you're making like Facebook ads about Barry and then 'I was like, oh, it's probably
CHELSEY DONN:It's not for Barry.
TREY GERRALD:Well, how else are you gonna scout?
TREY GERRALD:People like 'I, 'I don't think it's negative to run internet ads.
TREY GERRALD:And if that seems skeezy to you, then you need to find A' different service that has
CHELSEY DONN:'I definitely think that the message is muddied because
CHELSEY DONN:At the end of the day, what's interesting is that 18 people did find this useful.
CHELSEY DONN:Nine people found it funny, and five people found it.
CHELSEY DONN:Cool.
CHELSEY DONN:So people are interacting with this review 'I,
TREY GERRALD:Well, 'I do think that there are points like you're pointing to here.
TREY GERRALD:It is like, okay, let me have my antenna raised.
TREY GERRALD:Like is it A'?
TREY GERRALD:Little bait and switchy.
CHELSEY DONN:Right,
TREY GERRALD:But then 'I just,
CHELSEY DONN:but 'I think what?
CHELSEY DONN:What like bodes well almost for Jesse Kay is that like 'I totally buy that.
CHELSEY DONN:Barry could be A' very difficult person to please 'I.
TREY GERRALD:'I mean he presented the review at how he
CHELSEY DONN:They didn't give us anything that was positive in this review
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:A' real positive, like maybe the only positive 'I can sort of pull from
TREY GERRALD:It's like, if you don't believe me, 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Call and allow yourself to be manipulated.
TREY GERRALD:Like there was something like it, it was like finally he was letting off the gas A' little
TREY GERRALD:But it was still unpleasant.
TREY GERRALD:It just really co and, okay.
TREY GERRALD:Can we, can we pull out from this, like, can 'I sort of remove my, maybe Barry is so.
TREY GERRALD:Coming across so upset and angry and like gross to me because they're so disappointed.
TREY GERRALD:But, but then 'I can't, you can't call women trash.
TREY GERRALD:Like in what world do you think that, like what, like, are you, like it just is so unattractive.
TREY GERRALD:Like you can't do that.
TREY GERRALD:Like how do people not 'I, how do non-performance based human beings
TREY GERRALD:You're being assessed and looked at, like, it's so baffling to me that like you are
TREY GERRALD:Like, like 'I it, it,
CHELSEY DONN:But there's just not that level of self-awareness.
CHELSEY DONN:That's it.
TREY GERRALD:Well, you're never gonna find, you're never gonna find it, Barry,
TREY GERRALD:You, you gotta work on yourself, brother.
TREY GERRALD:Like, get it together.
TREY GERRALD:I'm angry.
TREY GERRALD:I'm mad.
TREY GERRALD:And 'I don't even, I'm not 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Don't even
CHELSEY DONN:'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Completely agree.
CHELSEY DONN:'I think that really what you're responding to is the trash and the no job.
CHELSEY DONN:The gold digger.
CHELSEY DONN:The two-faced liar.
CHELSEY DONN:The live at home mama's girl.
CHELSEY DONN:Like if Barry weren't Barry and Barry were looking at Barry, what would be
CHELSEY DONN:That's A'.
CHELSEY DONN:Lot of Barry's
TREY GERRALD:That's interesting.
TREY GERRALD:Well, doesn't Barry also point out like they're comparing this to being inferior
CHELSEY DONN:of fish.
TREY GERRALD:and the other one, did they
CHELSEY DONN:OkCupid,
TREY GERRALD:Right.
TREY GERRALD:So it's like, okay, so now we know that Barry has failed at other opportunities.
TREY GERRALD:So I'm seeing A' pattern,
CHELSEY DONN:that's true.
TREY GERRALD:but also back to this theme about love is slippery.
TREY GERRALD:It's hard, like even Barry aside, there will be someone for Barry, even
TREY GERRALD:So it's like it just takes time.
TREY GERRALD:Why are you being so angry?
TREY GERRALD:'I mean 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Guess 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Understand cuz you're paying for A' service so you are expecting A' result.
TREY GERRALD:But if the results can be slippery, you can't go on one date and meet your wife.
TREY GERRALD:Like maybe you could, but like that's A' crazy reality.
TREY GERRALD:Barry is saying in black and white on this review that this matchmaking service will
CHELSEY DONN:Which is messed up.
TREY GERRALD:You are out of your mind like 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Wanna know if you're gonna give me $300 as the money you're throwing down?
TREY GERRALD:Tell me how many effing dates you went on.
TREY GERRALD:Tell me how many women you met.
TREY GERRALD:Tell me how many people you passed on.
TREY GERRALD:Like 'I am so mad at Barry.
TREY GERRALD:Oh, why am 'I 'I am so upset?
TREY GERRALD:'I?
TREY GERRALD:Don't
CHELSEY DONN:'I, 'I, get it, you know, in your anger, 'I feel like I'm sort of like
CHELSEY DONN:And is it that Jesse Kay is A' woman, that he is sort of looping
CHELSEY DONN:Falling into one of these categories that he's pointed out, like the gold digger,
CHELSEY DONN:Like, is he seeing Jesse as like A' gold digger schemer?
CHELSEY DONN:Because that's the only way he's Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:Who's, that's the only way that he's able to categorize women 'I mean.
CHELSEY DONN:Maybe 'I 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Don't know that there are many male matchmakers out there, but 'I wonder if Barry would, you
CHELSEY DONN:Maybe Barry really has A' problem taking any kind of authority or like accepting women
TREY GERRALD:that's interesting.
TREY GERRALD:It's an interesting parallel.
CHELSEY DONN:Right 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Think we're both sufficiently annoyed.
CHELSEY DONN:Spelling and grammar is solid.
CHELSEY DONN:'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Think we can go ahead and move forward with the crowning?
CHELSEY DONN:What do you think
TREY GERRALD:Yeah, let's just, let's crown and then we
CHELSEY DONN:we can discuss?
CHELSEY DONN:Yes,
TREY GERRALD:So ChelseyBD and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.
TREY GERRALD:In an effort to be fair and not influenced by one another, we will simultaneously reveal our rating.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating
VOICEOVER:tow school.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh, Queens are unanimous.
CHELSEY DONN:One and A' Half Crowns one and A' half crowns straight.
CHELSEY DONN:You go first.
CHELSEY DONN:Why?
CHELSEY DONN:One and A' half crowns for Barry ass.
TREY GERRALD:'I think it's just sort of reiterating my question
TREY GERRALD:It's sort of like maybe they can facilitate, maybe they can coach, maybe they can 'I.
TREY GERRALD:You know, present A' roster of possibilities to you.
TREY GERRALD:But like at the end of the day, like you have to sort of, there has to be magic and 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Don't know if someone can create that other than like the self-work you've done in yourself
TREY GERRALD:The warning flags are there, but my, the ultimate impact for me is like 'I,
TREY GERRALD:God bless Barry.
CHELSEY DONN:bless Barry's matches.
TREY GERRALD:The humor 'I, mean 'I sort of said A' Half Crown because it started really
TREY GERRALD:So like 'I don't think there's much there.
TREY GERRALD:'I.
TREY GERRALD:Think it's equally truthful and shady.
TREY GERRALD:And ultimately I'm just upset.
TREY GERRALD:Why did you say one and A' half
CHELSEY DONN:Similar 'I went with just like the amusement, especially at the top,
CHELSEY DONN:A', little bit of my antenna is up.
CHELSEY DONN:Like maybe 'I shouldn't get so excited in that.
CHELSEY DONN:First meeting with Jesse Kay.
CHELSEY DONN:Just do A' little bit more research.
CHELSEY DONN:So for that reason one and A' Half Crowns.
CHELSEY DONN:But as we said, 'I don't really believe that Barry S is A' reliable narrator.
CHELSEY DONN:And that to me is the most important aspect of A' review.
CHELSEY DONN:So 'I couldn't give more than one and A' half crowns for Barry.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah, 'I hear that.
TREY GERRALD:It really is interesting to me.
VOICEOVER:There is A' reply.
CHELSEY DONN:There's A' reply.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay, this reply is from Jessie Kay herself.
CHELSEY DONN:Here we go.
TREY GERRALD:Oh, I'm scared.
CHELSEY DONN:In the 19 years I've been A' Matchmaker, 'I, I've learned that single
CHELSEY DONN:While I've helped many people through those struggles, there are some who just don't wish to
CHELSEY DONN:'I sent Barry out on dates with over 10 attractive women.
CHELSEY DONN:He approved first, yet he managed to find fault with most of them.
CHELSEY DONN:Dating is A' numbers.
CHELSEY DONN:Game and chemistry is A'.
CHELSEY DONN:Funny thing that most of us can't quite put our finger
TREY GERRALD:Oh my God.
CHELSEY DONN:'I was looking for love for Barry and it is always
CHELSEY DONN:Really care for Barry and 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Wish him all the love and success in the world.
CHELSEY DONN:'I sincerely, hope he finds what he's looking for out there.
TREY GERRALD:Wait, just off the top.
TREY GERRALD:'I am so obsessed that Jesse does not address Barry at.
TREY GERRALD:Oh, this is not Dear Barry.
TREY GERRALD:This is not, I'm sorry you felt this way.
TREY GERRALD:There is no apology.
TREY GERRALD:It is literally to the people that are perusing these reviews.
TREY GERRALD:'I just want you to hear some fucking statistics.
TREY GERRALD:Motherfucker and 'I want you to know Barry approved all these fucking
TREY GERRALD:We were just.
TREY GERRALD:Fucking talking about there is magic here that you cannot account for.
TREY GERRALD:And wait.
TREY GERRALD:Now I'm even more obsessed with Jesse because Jesse says 'I was looking for
TREY GERRALD:That's being very crystal clear.
TREY GERRALD:It's like I'm obsessed with Jesse.
TREY GERRALD:Oh my
CHELSEY DONN:'I know.
TREY GERRALD:won me over
CHELSEY DONN:'I like Jesse's reply, A' lot 'I really like the tenor.
CHELSEY DONN:They didn't punch down on Barry.
TREY GERRALD:at all.
CHELSEY DONN:information.
CHELSEY DONN:But even in the end, like, you know, 'I, like how they didn't refer to them
TREY GERRALD:No, they ignored it.
CHELSEY DONN:said, 'I really care for Barry 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Wish you know all the love and success in the world.
CHELSEY DONN:'I hope he finds what he's looking for out there.
CHELSEY DONN:Like this is what 'I did.
CHELSEY DONN:It's so queenly, it was.
CHELSEY DONN:It was written five days after the review was written, so Jessie Kay got to it within A' week.
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:She took an exhale, but she addressed it right away.
TREY GERRALD:is like 'I.
TREY GERRALD:The most beautiful reply like it is so expertly 'I, am so obsessed that
CHELSEY DONN:feels like A' therapy response
TREY GERRALD:mean, it's like this makes this one star so valuable.
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah, like really flipped it on its head.
CHELSEY DONN:'I mean we talk about this every time we have A' reply, but it makes all the difference because
TREY GERRALD:Okay, but wait devil's advocate, since we know that Barry is the devil.
TREY GERRALD:Now, Barry does say that Jesse is very skilled at A' bait and switch, and allow yourself to be wooed
CHELSEY DONN:yeah,
TREY GERRALD:Jesse positions himself back in A' Place of power with expertise.
TREY GERRALD:So it's like approaching you as the expert, which we like.
TREY GERRALD:It makes us
CHELSEY DONN:We did like, it did make me feel comfortable,
TREY GERRALD:Still comparing the two 'I would much rather be in the energy
TREY GERRALD:It's just such A' perfect response that literally 'I feel like it would be A' loss
CHELSEY DONN:And also because like obviously we both crowned Berry A' one and A' Half Crowns.
CHELSEY DONN:Like even if the bait and switch message is true, it's not getting across 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Because of everything else that was in that review.
CHELSEY DONN:That is the problem with not compliment sandwiching and not saying anything
TREY GERRALD:You create A' reality.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm not gonna get on board with you
TREY GERRALD:Mm-hmm.
CHELSEY DONN:for saying that.
TREY GERRALD:Mm-hmm.
CHELSEY DONN:So because of that, even if the bait and switch message was accurate,
CHELSEY DONN:Maybe I'm falling under the spell of Jesse Kay.
CHELSEY DONN:But 'I do like the reply
TREY GERRALD:'I like it too.
TREY GERRALD:'I think it's really skillful and honestly it is.
TREY GERRALD:Like many of the points we talked about, like that doesn't feel bait and switchy to me.
TREY GERRALD:If Jesse is pointing out, look, 'I have experience in this, and 'I recognize like people 'I.
TREY GERRALD:Have lots of hangups in the world of dating and so 'I can sort of hold up A' mirror 'I
TREY GERRALD:I'm buying it.
TREY GERRALD:I'm
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah, I'm buying A' two.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm buying what Jesse K is selling and also, even though it's sort of outside
CHELSEY DONN:Jesse K does have A' 4.5 overall, you know, if we were reading this interaction and
CHELSEY DONN:Little bit more like Jesse Kay is like.
CHELSEY DONN:Very skilled at manipulating or whatever, but 'I don't feel like that's the case when 'I mean.
CHELSEY DONN:You're, we're gonna talk about your five star review in the after show,
CHELSEY DONN:So 'I don't really have that reflection.
CHELSEY DONN:But 'I can say that if 'I went to this page and 'I saw there was A' 4.5 overall,
CHELSEY DONN:Little bit better about moving forward.
TREY GERRALD:Wait, can we crown ChelseyBD?
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm ready.
CHELSEY DONN:Are you ready?
TREY GERRALD:let's do it.

CHELSEY DONN:Why did you make Jesse k.
CHELSEY DONN:A'?
CHELSEY DONN:Review.
CHELSEY DONN:Queen.
TREY GERRALD:Well, 'I actually wanted to do four and A' half, but 'I thought you would
TREY GERRALD:But 'I don't know what else 'I really would want Jessie to do because 'I
TREY GERRALD:'I think it's so beautiful to just like, not even
CHELSEY DONN:Not even address him.
TREY GERRALD:Barry and 'I also really value the statistics.
TREY GERRALD:It, it, it made me feel more back on, uh, Jesse's side.
TREY GERRALD:That's the point of
CHELSEY DONN:That's the point.
TREY GERRALD:why did you say four
CHELSEY DONN:So funny cuz 'I think we both really influenced each other because 'I had
CHELSEY DONN:And did she kind of put A' spell on me by really A'.
CHELSEY DONN:Establishing herself as A' professional.
CHELSEY DONN:And that's the only reason why 'I went with four crowns.
CHELSEY DONN:'I really wanted to go with five, but you did.
CHELSEY DONN:You just planted that seed in my, my head and 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:'I wanted to leave A' tiny space for am 'I being manipulated here.
CHELSEY DONN:But 'I really don't think that 'I am 'I.
CHELSEY DONN:Think that Jessie Kay did A' really good job of taking back the reins of her business
CHELSEY DONN:So looking forward to hearing that five star review and four Crowns for being nearly A', Review
CHELSEY DONN:So good job, Jesse Kay.
