Chelsey.

How are ya?

I am good.

I'm burning the candle on all of the ends and you know, but it's good.

I'm so happy.

I'm always happy to be here with you.

Try.

This is like the cherry on top of every day.

I mean that

San Tino's cherries.

not cherries of fire.

Cherry is like a delicious sundae with a cherry on top.

Yes.

I enjoy being here as well.

And we enjoy all of you for joining us.

Chelsey, is there any, um, anything that is like ruffling your feathers at

Tell us, is there something that you would like to.

Lodge A Complaint.

About,

Yeah.

Listen, I don't know who my beef is with here.

Okay.

And like it's nature probably and trees you know, when you're walking on the sidewalk

And you trip.

I don't know why it's like, you know, some people like.

I think like unlucky where if there's gum on the floor, like they're going

Or if there's poop, there's going to be the one that steps in it.

Like if, if there is a rise in the sidewalk, when I'm, I am going to be the one that

I think I might be an earthquake tree root thing, but sometimes it's

Why is nobody intervened?

I think that is like a taxpayer thing.

Right?

I do know that my actually, I talked about them, uh, on like two episodes ago, my friends

works for the city and they like repave potholes and stuff like that.

That's like the division of like what your city taxes are going to, but yes, it is

They literally can break up cement.

I know, like we need the trees.

I love the tree.

It's like, listen, I don't think it's the tree's fault.

I think it's our fault.

You know, like somebody should take care of the trees.

The trees are just there being trees, providing oxygen, doing their thing.

You know, we're the ones that have to take care of them and take care of the streets so that

That is like a funny thing, especially in Manhattan, like the constant

yeah, what's your complaint?

Try lay it on us.

Well, I had one written down and then literally minutes before we started recording

And it spills out.

humiliating and embarrassing.

When you knock over a cup at a restaurant and then like everyone turns and looks

But it's very humiliating.

It's like being dumb.

Like suddenly everyone looks at you and like gives you that little look like, oh, you idiot.

Like.

But it just happened to me on my desk because I have this very expensive

This is from my favorite apothecary and cold spring, New York.

I just opened it yesterday throughout the week.

I store my microphone behind my monitor.

So I was wheeling it around and I have knocked over my cup of water multiple times.

So I knew to hold my water.

So my water wouldn't spill, but what didn't, you know.

this new Reed diffuser literally fell over.

Ah,

That's probably was $40

Oh, no.

wasted literally one quarter of that.

Oh no.

Oh, that's the worst.

and it's really the worst.

because there's no one to blame, but me, but oh, I just hate

I'm sure we can find someone else to blame, um,

I need to know for my mental health.

Oh, I hate you gravity.

yeah.

It's gravity's fault.

I think it's Murphy again.

It could be Murphy.

Murphy's law.

How dare you?

So does the room smell nice at least, you know, because of whatever spilled out.

Yeah, I mean, that's my hope is that it's going to saturate the wood

So has a harder stench than it when it just diffuses through the reeds.

So it

Right.

It's not as

little metallic right now, like,

Uh,

yeah, but

I hate that that sucks.

That's so upsetting.

I hate whenever I smell anything over at all, I was watching an episode of curb and it sort of

Everybody's looking at you, like you're like senile or something,

Cause they knocked everything over and it is interesting.

Cause it's like, if you're young and you knock something over your slim muscle,

you know what?

I'm referencing

she'll meal.

She'll

It's all to that

Yeah.

Like, yeah, like you're senile.

Right.

And if you're our age, it's just, I dunno.

Well, similar to your complaint now, if an old person falls, we

Right.

That's the first thought that comes to mind?

Yeah.

If I fall, they're just like, oh no, I don't know.

Like, I just feel like when I fall it's it's like scarier because I'm a fat person

I don't know.

That's just like people.

Yeah, for sure.

It's like, I have this thing.

I know this is a little bit of a tangent, but every time I go to a

Like I like wiggle the chair a little bit because I'm like, if I sit on the chair,

And at

And I break the chair.

It looks a lot different.

That is, that is like a wild, deep trauma response.

you chair in your life or something?

my God.

Yes, I

So there we go.

well, I had a moment when I was taking a stand up comedy class of all

This is so embarrassing.

I sat on one of those like white plastic lawn chairs, because it was one of those,

So I happened to be left with this lawn chair and I sat on it and I could feel

I just sort of like jumped up, like right away so that I wouldn't fall.

But like everybody in the class sort of knew.

What was going on.

And then every other class, after that, there was one chair that was like a beautiful,

And so every single time I would arrive at class, even if I was late, that chair was waiting for me.

Yeah.

I know.

Ah, perks, you know, what can I say?

Everyone was looking out for you.

Everyone was like, you know what?

Let's let's give her the nice chair.

But those lawn chair, things, those that happens all the time, that.

isn't

Okay, good.

the structural integrity of those plastic chairs commonly wore, especially

Yes.

I've experienced that as

Oh, good.

Okay.

That makes me feel better.

Thank you.

All right.

Well,

at that.

That was like a bonus.

That was like a bonus.

Exhale.

feel like that, felt like one of our after-show chats.

Well, there you go.

If you're wondering

All right,

of that in

let's go forward and Chelsey.

Are you ready to go head?

Oh my God.

I'm so ready.

Let's go

Whew.

Yes, queen less.

Assess That Kvetch.

All right.

So today is another vs episode.

And today Chelsey and I are going to cover both a one-star review and a five star

That's right for this versus episode, Trey is reading the

So to determine who reads first, we got to flip that quota.

I think it's my turn to guess.

Yes,

Okay.

Heads.

it's tails.

Okay.

I was on a little bit of a streak.

Okay, great.

So that means that we are going to hear the five star review first.

All right.

So today we're covering the bridal salon: Pronovias.

Pronovias is a wedding dress boutique situated in New York city.

Originally it opened in 1922 as a Barcelona boutique.

The store evolved into an international franchise with over 4,000 points

It has earned a reputation for providing customers with a seamless and

We know nothing about that.

So at the time of recording, there are 117 reviews for Pronovias on TheKnot

They were a 2014 pick for TheKnots best of wedding award.

So with all of that background info, let's get into this versus a battle on wedding gowns.

Review That Review.

All right.

So today I am reading the five star from TheKnot.com and this is a Review

Canopius in Barcelona.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Pronovias Novia is Novia, like has a wife, wife in Spanish Novia.

it's like probably like for the wives or whatever.

Yeah, like for the wives.

Wow.

so happy that we just figure that

I be saying no,

Novia means wife.

Okay.

I don't know, whatever.

Pronovias

All right.

Okay.

and here's the Review!.

I said yes to the dress and it was the best experience ever.

I have to say I chose my dress and bridal salon before reading any reviews because I fell in love

After reading the reviews for Pronovias, I was definitely a little nervous that this was the

Well, it taught me not to believe everything you read because they couldn't have been more wrong.

I was at their flagship store in New York, four separate times for my initial try-on

Each time I was in and out, they took me on time for all of my appointments, and

Mu dress arrived on time, even in the middle of a worldwide Pandemic.

My seamstress Mauritz was the sweetest lady and did a fantastic job altering my dress.

She even made me a matching face mask from the extra fabric.

Clara, the manager was amazing and very knowledgeable about all things bridal!

Overall.

It was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend getting your dress here.

And this was written October 21st, 2020.

So that was right at a scary time.

Yeah.

That was a scary time.

I'm happy for Michelle, that she was still able to get married, you know?

Yeah,

All right.

So I, I like this.

Review!

what I find, what I find interesting about it is, you know, how they went there without

So that's interesting to me.

It is an interesting point to take when you're leaving a five star

My experience is not indicative from all of the stories online.

And I'm going reference that I see a sea of bad reviews.

Like I, I think there's value there.

It also sort of instantly makes me suspicious that it's a planted Review!

because there's like leaning in so hard that like there were, there are

If this is truthful, which we'll discuss, I appreciate that.

They're like luck that wasn't my experience.

And I would wholeheartedly recommend

Yeah.

I don't know why, because, you know, usually I'm very sus, but like I do believe

Like, oh, you're just sort of looking through wedding dresses.

You happen to find it.

This is the location of it.

You call them up, you make an appointment.

And then later on, you know, you're kind of Googling to follow up and you're like, oh shoot.

Like, I can believe that narrative.

And because I can believe the narrative.

I like that Michelle is taking us through this process because maybe somebody else

that's a good point.

I mean, Michelle's not alone.

There are other five-star reviews here.

It is a three point.

What was it?

3.6.

So.

You know, it is a hard thing.

We, we deal with this all the time.

That's why we do the one and five, because it's like, some people are going to have

And I think with weddings, it's just so hard because it's like the

stakes are the highest.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Actually, I think that does sway me on the truthful versus shady scale here because.

I believe that you would be just like looking through wedding dresses online or just like

A'.

like if I were working for Pronovias and I wanted to flush out some of the negatives, I

Cause it isn't saying that you're brand loyal.

You're just like obsessed with the stress and then you hunt it down.

You know?

I actually appreciate that.

Yeah, I appreciated that too.

And again, like I've, I've helped several friends pick out wedding dresses at this point.

And I know between all the Pinterest boards and stuff like that, like it's very

Well, I do think that most people aren't like aware of bridal designers,

Right.

It's not as identifiable.

if you're not somebody that's getting a

the world.

or an Oscar de LA Renta dress,

Because hypothetically you're getting married once, hopefully.

So it's not like something you're keeping tabs on constantly.

So you are sort of coming at it blind in many ways,

yeah.

I also liked that they gave specific names, so they give us more than just Mauritz.

I feel like there was another name in there as

Clara

Clara.

Okay.

Clara.

Yeah.

Who's

Oh, the one spelling grammar is M U instead of M Y my address arrived.

But other than that, it's gorgeous and no other issues.

I liked the fact that they told us about the mask additions,

That's something that I guess, you know, as part of the consideration,

Yeah, I think that's a really cute actually, I don't know if there's enough

Right.

Exactly.

That's what I'm sort of looking for.

Like, can I, how can I ascertained whether or not, you know, other people are going to

I would imagine it might be common to look up reviews and feel nervous

Definitely.

like that might actually be pretty common.

So I appreciate Michelle mentioned it.

Yeah.

And she hit on a few points that were interesting.

I, I, I wonder if she was teeing up anything about the negative reviews, because she talked about,

So like hitting those points is interesting and a little bit.

Maybe defensive of the store?

Yeah, I agree.

But I don't think there's much humor here, but I like the Review!

it feels level, head.

I agree.

All right.

I think I could crown this.

What do you think?

I think I can cry Michelle C last than.

All right.

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

The Queens are Tabulating.

All right.

I'm holding up three and a half.

Crowns.

Trey is holding up four crowns.

I gave Michelle three and a half crowns, cause I thought it was a little

I really liked that she addressed the concerns of the other reviews, because I

And I think she gave nice general strokes of the experience.

I just wish maybe there was like a tiny bit more specificity.

not funny, we had a little bit of a spelling error, uh, but nothing wrong with the Review!.

So a solid three and a half for me.

Why?

For.

I mean, I do feel very similar to you, but I went up to four.

Because I do think the ultimate impact here, it might have a deal breaking situation For.

me, where it's like, okay, it's possible to have a very great experience here, even though

Can I make sure Mauritz is my seamstress?

Like, you know, I could really sort of navigate power.

I like that it's level headed, especially in the bridal wedding industry.

It's like, everything is so high emotion.

So for that reason I gave it four crowns.

that makes sense.

You and I tend to differ in that regard.

I really like a good novella.

You like you like when they're more straightforward?

I think so.

Yeah.

Okay.

I love that.

All right.

Well, good.

Solid.

Review!

trey.

I guess to see if our opinion is swayed.

Once we hear the other side of the argument.

All right, so we'll take a quick break.

And when we come back, we're going to hear Chelsey's I guess, novella version BRB.

BRB.

We'll be right back.

It's time to take a quick spin on the Meryl-Go-Round for our game.

Brady.

Here's the deal.

Trey and I have each picked a rotten scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger.

And with 30 seconds on the clock, we'll take turns, trying to recite the

Just like queen Meryl Streep, who does it all.

before the clock runs out.

All right, Chels.

Whats your Zinger for today.

So you guys know my favorite is to do the crazy gag gift moments.

And this is from Amazon.

It is a one-star review written by Mychal with a very unique spelling.

M Y C H a L.

Hm.

This is a one-star review by Michael for a beer belly Fanny pack.

And it's kind of gross.

You guys was an,, I'm a fan.

I, I wouldn't mind marrying someone with a little beer belly.

I'm not even going to lie, like actually probably preferable in my case.

Um, but I don't think I would like it if they were wearing a beer belly Fanny pack, just

It is a Fanny pack with a photo of a beer belly.

Is it Harry.

it's, it's actually a little less hairy than you probably think, but

Yeah.

So the subject is this isn't funny.

No.

And the Review!

Review That Review.

All right.

We are back from that rousing game break.

And now Chelsey Donn.

It's time for your one star review.

Let's do it.

Okay.

So this is a one-star review for Pronovias.

As we've mentioned, it is written by Laura T.

Okay.

All right, here we go.

SEAMSTRESS STREAKED BLOOD ON MY GOWN.

READ ON!

Please, please, please.

Ah,

Order a Pronovias dress, but avoid the flagship location in Midtown Manhattan.

oh,

I was not one of the small pushy, bridal boutiques kind of bride.

So I found the huge glamorous flagship store, very attractive because they do tons of

I liked the big setting.

But what happens with a big setting is that you get lost.

And this is what happened to me.

Last fitting.

I scheduled a month in advance and brought my whole family with me to learn, to

All appointments scheduled way in advance.

NO WORK HAD BEEN DONE ON THE DRESS!.

Oh, no.

Nothing!

I was forced to come back one week later, right before my wedding extremely

Oh.

Sat in waiting room for 45 minutes while manager falsely chatted me up.

Seamstress, arrived, sweating, and thanking me for giving her more time.

After taking dress home, opened the bag.

Seamstress had pricked her finger and streaked BLOOD DOWN THE FRONT OF MY GOWN!

Oh

four days before my wedding

God.

forced to find out of town dry cleaners and pay $300 bill.

Then noticed Garnett was SNAGGED on the lower part of the dress.

Didn't bother fixing it because blood was main concern.

Total mess con contacted store.

All they did was apologize and pay for the dry cleaning.

Contacted corporate after wedding asked for a full refund on dress because they

They absolutely refused to refund me.

It was 1700 and said they did enough paying the dry cleaning bill.

So get your Pronovias dress at one of the many NYC shops, not the flagship.

TOTAL NIGHTMARE.

I should be suing them to be honest.

Whew, Laura T Laura T spill the tea on

Pronovias.

whoa.

Okay.

Wait, what is a Garnet?

Is it a fab?

something that was wrapped, whatever.

Something was wrapped.

I think my favorite part of the survey view is when Laura T says sat for 45

I know I was like, what does that even mean?

I mean,

I get a clear picture, even though I don't know what it

Same, obviously there was some sort of major flub up

multiple times with the schedule.

with the scheduling, I don't know what was happening behind the scenes,

It actually kind of reminded me a little bit of the wedding cake Review!

moment where it's like throw in the girl that doesn't know anything about the wedding cake

Like that's how I see the situation where the owner was probably like, you know,

Tell me about it.

Like, it's clear that they were.

You know, trying to, I understand.

Yeah.

Say face exactly.

I wonder what the reverse here is.

Like, if you are the bride and you miss one of these appointments, I wonder if there's a fee,

probably, there's always some sort of double standard.

I mean, the blood on the dress.

can't you just imagine?

Do you think that this is Murray it's from the other one?

Or do you think they have multiple seamstresses?

I think they have more, I don't think is Murray it's.

I don't think Marines would do that.

I just wonder, like, what was the lead up?

Was it like, she showed up and the manager had to go to the back and be

Her wedding is like in a day.

Do we still didn't do the changes?

Do them really fast.

And then the woman was trying to do them really fast and hurt herself in the middle of it.

I think that's sort of the narrative that Laura might be thinking,

And that just makes me go into like panic mode as the same stress.

Cause you know, you know that your manager has told you, like, somehow this ball was dropped.

have to get here as soon as you can and like make this work and then you accidentally cut yourself.

It's sort of like, then you go into panic

think that the seam stress didn't tell the manager?

Because I feel like even though this is really bad and I'm sure either way Laura would have

We had this accident, like, you know, obviously accidents happen.

We want to take care of it.

We're going to get a dry clean, we're going to do whatever we're going to take 20% off the dress.

Like if they had addressed it at that point, you know, I'm sure Laura would have

Like what if Laura didn't open the dress until the day of her wedding,

until the

that would have been

well, that's the other too, is like, I wonder, I wonder if I do, for whatever

So if going off of that assumption that either either the seamstress didn't notice or the same

you are going to have to refund fully.

I would imagine at that point, so it's possible that the manager was

And then an issue arises, we're gonna say no refunds.

I mean, I'm

if you would have to, like, I mean, this is a terrible situation, but I wonder if.

First of all.

I do think I agree with Laura.

I think they should have done more.

I do too, actually.

just paying for the dry cleaning is not enough.

Like I always get upset whenever somebody like really messes something up and they

Like.

Emotional distress.

There's like so much that goes into this and, and just paying for the

It's just like, oh yeah, we're going to pay for fixing our error.

Well, duh,

Right, right.

I mean, I appreciate that.

They covered the dry cleaning.

I appreciate that.

That, that didn't seem to be an issue.

It is interesting to me.

I, I recognize that it's like, just get through the wedding and then we'll deal with it.

But there is something that then feels a little, like you've lost some power in

Rather than like in the moment, be

Yeah.

is outrageously unacceptable,

I guess, but at the same time, it's like, if you're that close to your wedding, you

I will bring this to a dry cleaner.

We will figure it out.

We will get the money back later.

I don't, we don't have to think like that, addressing it after the wedding is done.

It makes sense to me, I'm

It does make sense

I'm sure they took photos.

I'm sure like they, which is interesting.

Can you do photos on TheKnot?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

okay.

Cause that would have been really powerful if there photos, of course, but this is unacceptable.

This is a very useful Review!.

I mean, besides the fact that like it's gross, I think like, If I was going to go to Pronovias,

keep

that like this does not happen to me otherwise, bye!

I agree.

I think that it has like outrageously valuable.

I, I just want to point out it's interesting that they start through Review!

with, please, please, please, buy here, but not at this one.

And then they end with please by the stress at a different, like, that is So, wild to me

Pinpoint They be like in RegEd

Yes.

God.

I imagined that seems just freaking

God, me too.

Me too.

I was just going to address that.

I'm so glad you brought it up because that first line is like everything.

But I think that that leads into the trustworthy factor here, right?

Because it's like, we've read plenty of reviews where they just like throw in sort

And it feels like.

piling

Piling on, like, you're just like trying, like you have this issue and I would

I think you're right.

I think that's why it feels so truthful.

It really, really does.

Like, I, I believe, I believe that my belief that this is their experience.

I see the passion.

I mean, clearly we had a lot of all caps moments, but It's funny because if you

It's like a, it's like an internal thing.

Like no work was done on the dress to work was done.

Again, there was blood on the front of my gown.

It was snagged was a total nightmare.

Like if you're just reading the bullet points, you know, you get the full narrative,

So then do we think that narrative is common or a fluke?

I mean, I imagine the blood as a fluke, but I kind of, at first I really wanted

You're going to get lost in the fray.

I think that's like not factual.

Uh, but.

I do feel like it could be common.

It could be common.

I mean, they forgot to alter it

That's bad twice,

That is so that is so beyond the pale to

Not as that's bad.

I mean, once is one thing twice.

I mean, I do.

I think it's common.

Yeah.

I think that it's probably common amongst honestly like the wedding dress industry

Really

I have, I mean, not this situation, but just like other situations, thankfully,

Like I think it is presumptive to say that it's just because it's the flagship store.

I think we're grasping for an explanation here because so.

Bizarre and these sort of smaller boutiques while interestingly enough,

I do think that they, in my mind, at least the way this is all being described,

And like, you're the only one that has the appointment that day.

And it's all about you and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You know,

definitely an air of that.

There's definitely an air of that, which I guess maybe could be missing in

I wonder how many other people go to this location?

I guess that's something that I'm feeling a little bit confused about.

Yeah.

I'm unsure.

What do you th this is neither here or there, but struck me.

What do you think about Laura inviting their entire.

Family for the final fitting.

Not

that seems like such, but it feels like such a giveaway.

I mean, I recognize it's like to learn how to tie the bustle and stuff, but the

I don't know.

I mean,

it just feels like the big reveal, like to invite the whole family to come for

But maybe that maybe I'm I'm unaware because I don't do.

Yeah.

I mean, that didn't, that didn't raise any flags for me.

I think that, that, that makes sense.

Especially if you have a dress with a difficult bustle, my sister had a dress with a D

And it still took us a long time.

So.

when was this written?

This was written in 2018.

So pre pandemic,

I wonder, because to me, I feel like $1,700 for a wedding dress isn't that crazy?

Obviously that's a lot of money that's a privileged statement, but I feel like

And when you look at the budget of a wedding, 1700 doesn't seem that outrageous to me.

I mean like wedding rings, like at Tiffany's are a thousand dollars.

So this is like,

No is low for a dress, but I don't know.

funny when I first read that part, I was like, are they talking about the full refund or are

Like did they have to have a few sessions with their life coach

well, they said though dry cleaning was 300, so that's like a large

and then $1,400?

That is emotional.

I took that as the price of the gout, which in my mind, if

It's not even that much.

Right.

Well, that's why I think they were saying it was only $1,700.

I don't know.

I definitely think they could have done more.

They should have done more.

I'm I'm on Lord he's side, you

Wait devil's advocate at the beginning of the Review!

to does Laura mention how early in the process they bought the dress, because we

They don't, but they said that they scheduled the last fitting for a month in advance.

And you know, if they're scheduling it in advance, they must've gone several months prior.

that was my only sort of devil's advocate is like, was Laura

then it says, well, no, because the next sign, after that, you know, they

They say all appointments scheduled way in advance.

what does that even mean though?

Well, I mean, I feel like way in advance me and if they're saying it was

know, I think I'm on Laura T side

I think we have to be on Lord he's side.

We never really addressed humor or entertainment.

right.

Not humorous, really.

cause

Um, not a funny matter, really, almost like a horror movie.

But I thought it was funny, especially under the context of a horror movie.

the death.

The funny part to me is that Laura assumes that they pricked the finger, like the explanation

I just think prick seems very dainty and delicate,

right.

Actually, that is interesting because sometimes it's like a prick and then they're saying they

So it's like if I think of a prick, I think of like a little dot of blood,

But different than streaked.

streak across the front of the gowns.

Seems like there's no way that the seamstress could have missed that.

I think a street blood as like Carrie's face and carry.

I think Carrie's gown is devoured, but I think their face a straight to the blood, what.

I'm like the garden, it was snagged on the lower part of the dress.

So that's, I guess that's like a second issue, right?

So it's like the first issue is that the blood and the second issue is that

This is not looking good for Pronovias in my opinion.

Yeah.

I think I could crown west.

All right.

The Queens are Tabulating.

All right.

I'm only up four crowns treys holding up four and a half crowns.

Trey, let us know why four and a half crowns or Laura T

I only took a half crown off because of this final hour discrepancy

I trust Laura.

I don't think this is humorous.

I, I think that this could be common to fear that you're being lost in the fray.

If it's a huge flagship, the spelling was great.

I liked the synopsis of the cap caps.

Like you could just get the bullet points.

think it's incredibly unique information, very valuable.

I think they should have got a refund and I don't think I ever really feel that.

But I am curious now, was it like a little bit of blood or was it like very noticeable blood I wish

If I fell in love with a gallon from this company and I was.

Called the day before every fitting to make sure that everything is good to go.

And I would say, don't just say yes.

Can you please put me on hold, go back, look at the gown.

Confirm it's been altered.

Come back to the phone, take me off hold and say yes.

Before I trot my little ass down there.

dieting.

I'm trying to get fitted for the stress.

Like this is very serious.

So four and a half for me.

I'm really sore.

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Laura T I'm from Canada and I F feel for you and thank you for sharing your

So that's why Chelsey, why did you say four?

Really like good arguments, try it.

Almost making me feel like I should reconsider an, Aplara two to a four and a half.

I agree with everything.

You said so many great things about those.

Review!

love the like cap synopsis, like really interesting technique.

Really good cautionary tale here.

I guess I gave it four because I thought this isn't going to be everybody's experience.

And I know that that's like, you know, crappy because.

This was Laura T's experience, but I still don't think everyone is going to have this experience.

And I am trusting Michelle where, you know, I think if I went in armed with Michelle's Review!

and made sure that I had the same stress that, that she had, I think I would be okay.

And because of that, I gave Laura T4 crowns, but I so feel for you Lord Lortie and I

And.

That you had to go through this.

And I hope that Pronovias learned a lesson after this experience at very least.

Yeah.

I have.

So, oh, that's tough.

It's an example of just give the refund because this Review!, it's going to be on the internet for

Right.

It's like what mark two Minnelli was saying, like, you know, like sometimes you

like this.

On your page, you know, it is.

And, and the other thing, I'm not sure, I'm not, sorry.

I'm not as familiar with, with Knot, can you have a reply or no?

you can.

DJ spend foul

Oh, that's right.

What am I saying?

Yes.

So like, that's another thing I guess I could, I could say against Pronovias here is that if

I don't know.

It's tough.

Even just to respond to Laura and say, you know what, we, re-read your review.

We thought about the situation.

Again.

We want to refund you if you would be, if you would consider.

Taking the Review!

down.

We'd appreciate it.

We just, you know, like they, I just feel like it's an, it's an interesting

is another opportunity for the company to step up, you know, and we've seen it happen

and say, you know, after speaking to management, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Right.

can get points back.

Yeah.

Yeah, you can get points back.

And so I think that if Pronovias is not looking at that Knot page, they ought to be,

Yeah.

you know, and that's sort of my final thoughts on Pronovias.

I think that the dresses must be really nice because we're hearing that consistently

Yeah definitely.

I think the fault lies at Pronovias because it's awful circumstance, but that's again, at

true.

It's possible that that could be fabricated, but and then if there's

it's not Laura T's fault, but Laura T has to deal with it, you know?

All right.

Chelsey definite journey.

All right.

My queen, we have reached the most Regal portion of our show Chelsey.

Who are you inducting this week for?

My Royal Highness.

thanks for asking.

Try.

So sometimes My Royal Highness sees come out of real life circumstances.

I was changing my sheets in my bed recently and I gave my comforter a nice, good shimmy shake.

Um, and in the process, I guess I had the remote control in the bed.

And so it, it got lost behind the bed.

Okay.

Then I wanted to watch TV and they could not find the remote for a very long time.

Oh, my God.

And then I thought, God, you know, like what first world problems, not everybody.

Has a TV.

Okay.

Let alone a remote control.

And then also what did we do before the remote control?

You know,

got up on our,

got

and we.

turned dial.

Exactly, exactly.

And it's just so funny to me.

These modern day conveniences that we just totally take for granted

I think we ought to take a moment to thank the remote control and

So I don't know, but whoever you are thank you because you've made our

You know, appreciate things like you, remote control until we don't have you for an hour.

So with all that in mind, I would love to take this moment to acknowledge you remote control

That's a good one.

Oh, wait.

Is it good?

Also like those universal remotes that are like, we'll do like

Oh, yeah, those setting those up sometimes can be, you know, Trey, Trey witnessed

So you can only imagine

So Kelsey's microphone, cradle has like bands like, uh, like rubber bands basically

You know, it's a common thing.

And I sent one to Chelsey and she started opening up before calling me and she undid all of the

It's like to keep it like gravity, but she just undid all of the rubber bands.

We never got it back.

No, it's never

was like a possible, oh hilarious.

No, I concur with the remote control.

Really do love it.

I love that app for the remote on the iPhones you can like it as a
