TREY GERRALD:

Wait, this is our third episode in A' Row, where the five

CHELSEY DONN:

Well, you know, sometimes that's just the way the tides turn my friend.

TREY GERRALD:

So let me tell you A' little bit about the real Matchmaker 'I.

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:

Beautiful.

TREY GERRALD:

All of those

CHELSEY DONN:

the above.

CHELSEY DONN:

Sound good.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I

TREY GERRALD:

Yes.

TREY GERRALD:

Right.

TREY GERRALD:

So here we go.

TREY GERRALD:

According to the, from the business section on Yelp, 'I pulled all of these quotes.

TREY GERRALD:

Imagine A' personal dating assistant doing all of the heavy lifting for you.

CHELSEY DONN:

Sounds

TREY GERRALD:

our personal introductions method, we have three effective ways to help you.

TREY GERRALD:

And clever flirting techniques,

CHELSEY DONN:

So clever.

TREY GERRALD:

TREY GERRALD:

So no matter what experience you've had before, by working with someone who truly

CHELSEY DONN:

Yeah, they got some typos in there.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I saw that as well.

CHELSEY DONN:

'I saw that as well when 'I was looking at the Yelp page.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay.

TREY GERRALD:

Yes.

TREY GERRALD:

Okay.

TREY GERRALD:

So, all right.

TREY GERRALD:

And then 'I also, this is not on the out page, but on their actual website, they have A' new

TREY GERRALD:

So all this sounds so good.

TREY GERRALD:

So with all this background in mind, why don't we go ahead and jump deep into the cool, refreshing

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:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Total Score.

CHELSEY DONN:

Interesting.

CHELSEY DONN:

Okay, so I'm holding up four crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

Trey is holding up five crowns.

CHELSEY DONN:

Trey, you go first.

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.

TREY GERRALD:

You wanna take A' break?

TREY GERRALD:

Let's take A'.
