Cheers.

Trey.

Trey has A' beverage.

You know what Trey, what's funny?

'I also have A' new beverage today cuz we're always like so in sync.

But 'I have tea.

'I made myself A' Classic Manhattan

'I know Treys have has A' fancy cocktail.

'I have tea

'I have A' Gold ReMed Martini.

that is so fancy.

This mug was A' gift and it changes colors when hot things go in it.

Oh, yes, yes.

I've seen these.

and it has, all the shock was represented.

I'm looking to like realign today as we record because it's been A' day, but I'll

How was your week?

Pretty good.

You know, it, it, yesterday was tax day, just A', lot of, um, assessing, reviewing,

It's really been A', joyful, joyful time in my.

Oh God.

'I, please.

'I feel you.

'I.

Feel you.

Money is such A' interesting thing, huh?

It 'I, you know, it's just A' sensitive issue.

'I think for everybody.

You know, we all have our, our own individual struggles and they kind

You know, all those things you like pushed aside.

So 'I totally feel that.

Ugh, 'I mean Yes, yes, yes to all the things 'I mean.

My week was fine.

My week was, is that it?

Is that the main event of the week?

'I Don't wanna jump on.

Yeah.

Okay.

My week is fine, other than the fact that Goldie's been just not very well behaved.

You guys really?

Yeah.

But 'I feel like 'I just need to Lodge into my Complaint.

let's

Lodge, A, Complaint.

You know when you like are in it with something like there's just something in

Cuz it's just the central issue.

Like anytime 'I was like, let me complain about something else.

I'm like, no, this is what is irritating me.

'I love Goldie 90% of the time she's amazing and great 10% of the time.

Bad guys, just like not good barks all the time.

Barks like any bark in the neighborhood, she wants to join A' Brigade.

You know, any sound that goes off we bark.

Any person that should, God forbid, like approach the house, which like, you know, 'I get it.

Like it's, it's an instinct thing.

And ultimately 'I don't have anyone to blame, but myself, 'I, wish 'I had more time to.

Properly train her.

'I need to make it A' priority because it's really like affecting my

But at the same time, 'I love her.

'I mean 'I 'I.

Imagine it's what A' parent feels like.

It's like 'I love my child, but they, they suck all the energy out of me.

And sometimes 'I feel like that.

'I know that she's just A' puppy.

'I mean she's not A' puppy, but she's, you know, she's still A' baby in the

When does Puppyhood technically stop?

'I feel like it is A'.

Couple of years.

'I 'I feel like A' year, but then 'I feel like there's like the

Well, this is reminding me of the first year of the podcast when we

Oh my God.

It's A' Karen.

but the person's name was Karen, and that did not go well.

So maybe, maybe you could find someone new or

Yeah, it's, yeah,

to empower.

for pointing that out.

That's actually very true.

'I had A' bad experience with, uh, someone that 'I just did not connect with in this arena at all.

And 'I think that sort of, you know, hampered my willingness to open up that door again.

But 'I think, 'I just gotta,

Well, 'I also know that in my experience, like when we got Hunter.

Everything was compared to Winnie and 'I.

Know that Bella, your first dog now and you rescued Bella from A'.

Really precarious circumstance, but Bella

had

talk about it in the after sha, but yeah, Bella had already

right?

Yeah.

She had some basic training, but the truth is she was just A', totally different dog.

Like Bella was just, she was all heart.

She was the most loving.

She 'I.

Never once heard her growl her entire life.

Never.

My mom says she growled once.

When my mom came over to my 'I, was living with my sister at the time when she came over and my

Apparently she growled.

Then 'I wasn't there.

'I didn't see it, but that was the kind of dog she was.

She was just like, she was chill from day one.

'I took her everywhere with me in her little bag.

She never made A' sound.

She was just like the freaking best, and 'I really think it was just her nature.

And it's not Goldie's fault that she's not that, you know, um, 'I don't want to compare her to

So that's where we're at.

That's okay.

But Trey, how, what's going on with you?

Do you have things you wanna get off your chest because 'I want to be here for you?

Oh, absolutely.

But 'I also want to just say like 'I think any dog owner understands like

Yeah.

If your dog is happy, that affects you.

If your dog is unhappy, that affects you.

Like it, especially like working from home, like it's just impossible.

So like

Exactly.

be so hard on yourself about it.

Thank you.

Yeah, cuz they don't realize that like we have to get shit done just because, you know,

So breathe in, breathe out.

Um,

But yes.

Over here 'I really, you know, this actually hasn't happened in A' while,

Like when 'I can't sleep, or you know, when something like someone cuts me off in traffic,

'I,

'I gotta pull that list out.

So have you ever, by accident

Mm-hmm.

left, let's say one of your car windows down and then there's rain that occur.

Oh no, 'I.

Think maybe with my dad's car.

Never with mine personally, but it is disastrous, especially if it's A' heavy rain.

I've left A' window open.

was gonna say like in your house.

Yeah, but that tends to not be so bad because it's like the screen

A' little bit, but it tends to like in the car, it's like, ugh, the seats.

Well also, like houses are built straight up and down.

Cars have curves, so like, it's like the door is A', little bit more like

Um, but 'I 'I know 'I talked on A' previous after show about when 'I was in an actor

But this has happened to me.

'I know, like in college, 'I remember.

There would be multiple times when like the car window would just be slightly cracked

Because once those car seats are like rained upon, you're never getting that odor out like ever.

It's horrifying and disgusting and it really like puts A' quote unquote damper on your

A'.

Hundred percent agree.

as A', lot of these complaints tend to be, there's no one to

No one to blame.

Yeah.

That's the hard look.

That's the hard look we gotta take in the mirror.

Most of the times we are the solution to our own problems.

mean it's the same with taxes and dogs.

'I know.

What A' philosophical episode.

'I 'I Know 'I could take accountability for my wrongdoings

Good review, right?

Like it is gonna be cathartic and we are gonna get it out, but we need to be A' little bit self-aware

Well, yeah, 'I mean, that reminds me of the Chili's review from

How did you participate in this interaction?

Exactly.

Yeah.

well look at us in our,

in our despair, we're, we're awfully enlightened.

We are 'I, mean.

'I.

Feel like 'I wanna like 'I, don't know.

'I need like A' marrow round or something to like amp me up.

We gotta, we gotta change up the energy.

I'm gonna bring my crystal around cuz we gotta get all hot and bothered and

Well, let's do it.

Why don't we jump in and and shift the energy and the snap.

Should we snap together?

Oh yeah.

'I.

Think A'.

Good.

Snap.

3, 2, 1.

Yeah, you do

Okay.

3, 2, 1.

Nice.

'I.

Like that.

That was

All right, let's do it.

Yes.

Review, That, Review.

As you know, we are your trustee.

Review.

Queen.

We bring in reviews from the internet that we feel need to be inspected.

We read you the review.

We break it down and rate the impact of that review on A' scale from zero to five crowns.

Now this is A' very regal process that we call.

Assess, That, Kvetch.

And this week, ChelseyBD, you are enlightening us even more.

So what did you bring in today?

whenever 'I have an opportunity in my search for reviews to come across A'

So 'I have brought in A' review today from Indeed.

Which 'I don't believe we've done.

And indeed, as some of you may know, some of you may not, is it's like A' A' job site where you can

So this review is coming from the perspective of an employee or A' former employee.

Oh my

Of the establishment, which I'll announce in A' second.

But isn't that interesting?

'I thought, this is A' perspective that we haven't really examined Trey like straight, but it's

And yeah, they are.

You know, we know the answer, so we can really just dive in.

Yeah.

A' question 'I.

Remember when 'I was job hunting 'I used glass door, which is very similar to Indeed,

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

but in order to read anything or contribute anything,

Well that's A' thing.

That's so thank you for bringing that up, Trey, because there is A'

Indeed.

They'll only give you like A', Peaky and then if you wanna read more

And 'I didn't feel like doing that.

So 'I tried to like get around it creatively by searching for like certain.

Tones of review that 'I was looking for.

So that's what I'm gonna read today.

'I mean do we need to tease anymore or should 'I intro our subject?

Let's do it.

Okay, so today we are ironically or perhaps not based on my Complaint rating

Oh, no.

specifically for the grooming department.

Okay.

This review.

Wait, did we, did you, didn't you and And Doc dog rumors last week?

'I did Trey.

So good of you to remember.

Yes.

This is an extension of my induction because

you use PetSmart?

'I.

Don't 'I mean.

'I feel like 'I maybe have on one, like on A', off occasion.

'I don't usually.

So anyway, 'I wanted to dig A' little deeper.

So this is A' one-star review.

It just says, written by former employee.

Um, groomer.

God.

I'm gonna, guys, 'I know this is the pet dedicated review, but she's gonna

Hold

Cheers.

Goldie.

Let's go to the crate.

No barking.

We started recording about 15 minutes late because Goldie

No barking.

So she's really at her wits end today.

'I.

Love my dog, 'I.

Love my dog.

'I.

Love my dog.

Okay,

Okay.

and we're back.

All right.

All right, so this is A' one star review written by just says groomer, and

So 'I, don't know, we can call them groomer.

'I.

Guess try.

What do.

Let's not use the word groomer.

Okay.

Definitely.

today's climate.

Oh, no.

'I didn't know there was A' climate.

Yeah, they're ev All these politicians are calling drag Queens groomers.

Oh, 'I completely missed that

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Oh, there's all these bills to ban drag

No 'I know that there have been bills to ban drag Queens, but

they're very worried about their children when it comes to drag Queens,

Oh, being like being groomed.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

This is their one star review subject.

Don't call hr.

Oh, no.

Here we go.

Don't even consider calling HR unless you wanna be fired.

Management is awful.

They are unsupportive, especially in the grooming salon.

They will say they are the only management on the floor, and next time

Even if there is another manager out on the floor.

The grooming salon is A' hostile environment.

There is drama with the coworkers.

My store manager was aggressive and hostile.

She would threaten and blame us for when business got slow.

She yelled in my face and slammed her hand on A' counter in front of

'I called HR and Caroline.

They talked to the dm, oh, district manager.

They talked to the DM and she didn't even ask me about the situation.

Instead, they fired me and the second they found out 'I was looking for A'.

New job.

They called up the grooming salon.

'I wasn't even sure 'I wanted and they knew the location because foolish me 'I trusted A' coworker

'I still had plenty of time to put in A' two weeks notice, but 'I wasn't even sure if 'I wanted to

They expect their former groomers to never groom again, which is unreal.

The new salon 'I was looking into was 10 miles away, which is their competitive requirement.

Hmm.

While the DM made my decision for me, 'I had been there for eight years and had the

PetSmart says they don't tolerate bullying, harassment, or.

But that is exactly what management do.

It's sad when you can't even depend on your hr.

Never call Caroline.

You will lose your job.

All it accomplishes is angering your dm.

The only good thing about this job was the pet.

Hmm.

All 'I learned was how to groom and that you can't trust

You dare call friends.

Oh, and they expect you to have complete open availability.

'I had extreme anxiety going into work that it overtook my.

Every day was A' nightmare between having no support when extremely busy and management

There's no time for that yet.

Management will yell if you Donn.

Hmm.

line.

It's A' hostile work environment with aggressive management and coworkers.

Former employee man.

So is this for A' specific location?

Thank you for asking.

This is for A', Michigan location.

But Indeed is 'I guess like across the board.

So every review attached to it, you know, just has like A' different location

'I mean.

Full disclosure here.

'I was doing Glassdoor like to look at Joanne when 'I worked at Joanne and it's, it, it's structured

But so it is, it makes it A' little challenging to

It's A'.

Little bit more like, like Trustpilot

Or even better.

Business is kind of structured that way

or better business.

Exactly

just all under PetSmart.

Okay, so this is A'.

Very interesting review.

'I wrote like 18 notes.

So like, first of all, 'I, my most pressing question pronounce the store name.

PetSmart.

So is it you are A' Pet Smart or is it the pets?

It's, there's 'I mean the way that the LogoVora is written.

It's like capital P, capital S.

So it would be pet smart, like it's smart to shop here for your pet, but 'I think it's obviously A'.

Double entendre.

So good.

Good catch.

Because 'I just say Pet smart,

what do 'I

but 'I think

That's what 'I

you pets.

Pet smart.

Right.

But in my head I'm thinking it's like, Pets mart cuz you're shopping on A' Mart.

Pets Mart.

No Pets Mart.

What is their major competitor?

Pet

Pet co.

Pet co.

Petco.

Right.

Yeah.

Okay.

Anyway, so that, that just is

Great.

That was answered.

Okay, cool.

Well, you know, something that's coming up for me, for former

The district manager 'I feel like they're probably responsible for however many

So like there's A' certain number of stores where you're gonna be dealing with that dm,

right.

like so much of the hostile work environment like could technically not apply

That's true.

management.

Yes, and 'I think that's probably gonna be true of every review.

There's gonna be certain environments that are more hostile than the others.

But 'I think that what is universal here is isn't hr just hr?

So like hrs course of action is gonna be that they're gonna then disclose the dm.

And what that DM does with the information is up to them, right?

'I.

Guess 'I don't really know how human relations works, but.

'I mean?

'I.

'I.

Guess that we just have to review this in two ways, cuz 'I can't remember

If you could do this, but like let's say 'I did live in Michigan and I'm reading

And then 'I didn't live in Michigan and 'I wrote this review.

Right?

Because there might be somebody that's in the, that district applying.

You know, it, this is like so challenging

Yeah.

in my mind, 'I get that this is like A' specialty inside of A' retail store.

So like that 'I, I'm sure it is different.

They mentioned having health insurance, which is amazing.

But the, it's just so challenging.

'I mean, it's also interesting to me how former employer, former employee mentions that

So they must have like, I've never thought about that.

Like there must be A' certification, right?

Yes.

And they also said they were there for eight years.

So it's like if you do any job anywhere for eight years, 'I, you know, hopefully you're

Cuz you've given eight years of your life to it.

But like, is there A' certification?

Like do you, like, do you just go to PetSmart and fill out an application and

'I think that the way that it works from like other reviews

Don't know if it's that you get the certification through them or if you

So it's not A' groomer, but like you're the one that like is gonna give it A' bath and

So there is A' ranking system.

'I.

Who wants

This is why 'I gave My, Royal Highness to the the, the groomers because I'm

'I mean it really is.

And 'I love animals, but like 'I just feel.

So many dogs and cats, specifically cats don't want to be dealt with.

So it's like you just never have any idea, and it's not like you're like working

This is like an animal that doesn't have any say in the matter and they don't know

It's A'

levels of annoyance from owners and you know, lots of things.

'I recognize the stress.

And like the hostility of the client, which is like this dog on top of the fact that like

There's all this drama.

so full of drama.

So yes, 'I wrote down drama.

What do you think the drama

'I don't know.

But what's really cool is that 'I, 'I, hope this came across my reading, but

So it's like there is drama with the coworkers.

Like that is like clear.

'I don't know.

Maybe it's like competing for clients or stealing clients or stealing supplies like 'I.

Don't know what the drama could be.

Trey, you might know more than me.

You, you were kind of closer to this industry.

Yeah, 'I mean 'I.

Just 'I.

Feel A'.

Like I'm ju I'm very curious what the age ranges of the groomers are cuz like, 'I 'I know that like

Right, exactly.

get it, you know?

And

And even if it's just like A' moment of recognition, it's like, okay, 'I

And then there's always just like the work dynamics

So it's like there's usually A' common enemy when like there's someone that doesn't

So like 'I, see how drama is just inherent, but 'I, 'I, there's something very funny

Monica is on shift tonight.

'I fucking hate Monica.

Monica is so bad at the buzz cut.

Yes,

Anytime Monica has to polish the nails, she gets polished all over the table.

Monica never cleans up her hair.

She never sweeps.

Have you ever seen her with A'?

Have you ever seen her with A' Brew?

With A'?

Yeah, with 'I.

allergic

'I.

Think she must be allergic to it.

I've never once seen her pick it up.

Never does she sanitize her table Cause Donn don't think she does.

Oh wait, like first sentence or maybe even the subject, 'I.

Love that.

They call it the grooming salon.

that is what they call it.

'I.

Think the grooming salon.

Is that specific to PetSmart

No 'I feel like there's like other places that call it that.

Cuz that's the idea.

Is that like, oh, I'm gonna drop my dog at the salon for the day, you know?

Okay, so then 'I also want to talk about the pettiness within the culture because,

Sure, sure, sure.

because 'I recognize even like at any of the jobs that I've had, if

Spread faster than you want it to.

So clearly A' former employee had A' little more trust to like whoever they were sharing that with.

But then for it to get to management and then management like turns you in and like

with the possible new employer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

'I mean that is so crazy.

That's so

Yeah, that's just

'I mean that if that is true, if we're, if we're taking that as

yeah.

Yeah.

that really underlines and defines the hostile environment to A' T, because if

Like that just sounds like A'

Right and 'I think that's what it is.

You know, regardless of how much is based off of, you know, former employee's own

But if we're to take them at their word, obviously they do believe that this was A' nightmare.

This was their nightmare

And they also say that they were outside of the 10 mile radius,

exactly.

'I mean it's pretty bad.

Like hon, like here, let's put it, let's discuss it this way since it's A' new format of A' review.

If you were considering, let's just like pretend that you were considering being A'.

Is there another word you'd rather me use besides groomer

You can say dog groomer,

A' dog stylist.

Okay, so if you were gonna apply to be A' dog stylist, okay.

And you read this review under the Indeed, would you apply for the job?

Say you're in Michigan, would you apply for the job?

Honestly, 'I would, because 'I tend to feel like when it comes to my

'I have felt that in my experience and and 'I know that my work ethic is not everyone's work ethic.

So 'I would still apply.

Like 'I.

Don't think 'I would use this to rule out.

this wouldn't be A' deal breaker for the application.

Would it like bring you some questions that you might wanna ask in your interview?

It would definitely make me sleuth, which 'I have done for any job I've ever taken.

Okay.

It would initiate sleuthing.

I'll go in Cognito multiple times to see like, does it

Does it look like they're overwhelmed?

Does it look like you see people like on their phones, like leaning

What are the vibes?

Do 'I have A'?

Friend of A'.

Friend of A' friend

Yeah, but if 'I was not in Michigan,

Right.

'I would literally not.

Yeah, 'I would totally disregard this cuz 'I do think it's very specific to the region.

Interesting.

Okay.

'I.

'I feel like this would be pretty strong for me.

'I don't.

If 'I was in Michigan and 'I knew 'I was gonna be maybe working with these people,

'I.

Think if 'I decided that 'I still wanted to be A' dog stylist to the stars of

'I think 'I would maybe ask some questions in the interview, like what's the environment like?

Is there A' Manager on the floor?

Blah, blah, blah comes up 'I.

Don't know.

Maybe 'I would ask those kind of questions.

So it, it's impactful for me.

And then generally 'I agree with you.

'I think that like even generally speaking, it would encourage me to sleuth, right?

Like even if 'I wasn't in Michigan, 'I, think maybe 'I would still be like, oh, let me see

'I would probably go to the Yelp of my store.

Like those kind of things just to do like A'.

Little bit more research for sure.

But 'I do think that the whole eight years 'I mean that is A'

Yeah,

And to know that it ended the way that it did if like in this narrative

It does sound justified.

'I, just feel like it sounds genuine.

Like 'I really believe that former employee is like really just letting their heart out

And 'I like have to share my experience with other people.

Just 'I if it does resonate with anyone or anyone does see red flags that she'll have worn them.

You know?

Or if you're like thinking about going out on your own or something and you wanna start there

Right?

And like 'I do see PetSmart as like A' retail store.

right.

So 'I really, and the only retail I've ever done was Joanne's, but 'I

And even at Joanne,

why she was like, even though my manager insisted that 'I take

no time.

Right,

Like 'I experienced that too because it's like, it's an impossible thing

But 'I also know that with retail, it's like sometimes management is just like someone has

So that is another reason why I'm, I'm hearing in this review, like it just sounds so site specific.

Yeah, 'I.

Think that that's fair.

but this whole question about this HR conversation, like

Call to have A' meeting.

They just like terminated like that seems like it's all hearsay.

But like did they terminate?

That's why 'I got A' little confused in the review because

okay?

Me too.

cuz it was like, did they terminate you or did they like hear that you were leaving?

So then they like jumped the gun and terminated you.

Yeah, because the way former employee writes it in the narrative, they, they

It's like they went to hr, they told HR what the deal was and then HR like

And then so, so A' former employee decided they were no longer happy working in this environment.

So they tried to apply for A' new job.

And then they found like 'I, don't know.

There's A', there's A'.

It's A'.

Little messy.

It's A'.

Little messy.

Also this whole conversation around open availability is one of the biggest

Requires you to have open availability and that's so obnoxious cuz no one's

'I know, but 'I also think that that was sort of A' weird place to end.

Like 'I feel like we sort of reached A' natural conclusion before that

'I almost wish that they would've like if they wanted to include that point,

Yeah, but the current that runs through it, all that 'I

Right, right,

what I'm like hearing is like there's not enough time to take your breaks

More than 10 dogs in eight and A' half hours.

A' lot.

That's like

That's

' Trey Gerrald: I mean.

like, what is that 40 minutes A' dog?

If, if that,

'I mean That does sound crazy.

sounds wild.

Yeah.

And 'I love the term PO

A' progress report.

It does.

Those kind of things are universal.

Like I'm sure the progress report is something that everybody that works at PetSmart has to do.

Yeah.

But how detailed do you think this progress report is?

Like how much time

'I don't know, but it takes time to do.

It's like another task.

It's like A'.

It's like A'.

It's like an admin task in the middle of like you having to do supermarket sweep with the dogs.

That's what 'I was gonna say.

It definitely is like, it seems like it's A' left brain and probably the grooming is right brain.

Like it is sort of like annoying

right.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And then like I'm sure you also have to deal with like, let's say A' dog was really mad at, and

You know, like then you gotta deal with that.

There's gotta be so much stuff that these groomers have to deal.

And it is that situation where it's like you've made appointments for the day.

So it's like as soon as something goes wrong, then the entire rest of the day is backed up.

One last thing, 'I thought you were saying, Caroline, but 'I think

Caroline.

That's how you reach hr.

'I guess.

Yeah, so 'I guess it's like if 'I, I'm sure like when you're in your training

And one of our caring like facilitators will be there to help you or

So like maybe that's like the first line of defense is the care, Caroline.

And then from there, either they handle it or they're like, I'm gonna connect you with hr.

This is more of an HR.

'I

'I mean, maybe I'm just really like Pollyanna and ignorant, but

It seems like for whatever reason, and 'I mean, it could just be

Was there Humor, entertainment.

'I mean?

'I was entertained in the fact that 'I felt like there was A'.

Lot of heart in here.

'I.

'I wouldn't say humor necessarily.

Oh wait, one more thing about spelling, grammar are, so

Is there any cap, any capitalization?

See?

Not

is anything like screaming

The only thing that's ca No, it's not the only thing.

There's no screaming.

Actually, 'I don't, I'm trying to look.

'I don't think there's A', single exclamation point in this whole.

'I really like that.

Something's very classy about that.

And italics bold is so much more provocative than all caps.

You know what 'I

they do 'I, think like accomplishments was italicized.

'I don't, like, they sometimes just do like A', one off italic.

But I'm just realizing this.

Try not A' single exclamation point in the entire review.

That has an impact on me.

Yeah, me too.

All right, I'm glad.

Thank you for asking that.

That was A'.

We've never looked at that before.

'I think we should pay A'.

Little more attention to that in the future, but yeah.

Good on the punctuation.

Former employee.

All right.

Should we crown?

'I.

Think 'I can crown.

Okay.

Yeah, let's do it.

So ChelseyBD and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.

In an effort to be fair and not influence one another, we will both

The Queens are Tabulating.

Okay, interesting.

I'm holding up four crowns, Trey's holding up four and A' half crowns.

This is super 'I.

Interesting to me cuz 'I feel like all of the points that kind of got knocked

So I'm sort of surprised that you ended up higher than 'I did, but let's talk about it.

Why four and A' half crowns,

Well, 'I had four, and then 'I bumped it up to four and A'

'I think it might be A' little site specific.

But that being said, 'I think that any culture that is cultivated could

Yeah.

Starts at the Yeah.

Top.

But 'I also recognize that, you know, this is A' nationwide company.

That has tons of locations and tons of personalities.

So 'I, just 'I, 'I, 'I, 'I, 'I.

Just don't venture to think that it's going to be typical that the culture will be

But do 'I think it could be common?

Perhaps, but 'I think that's probably, it's just an interesting amalgamation of like A' retail.

That hosts A' Specialty Skill or like A' Craft, you have to be trained and like

So that is sort of like the glaring, like 'I, don't know what the ultimate

It's only A' negative half ground for me because 'I do think it's not A' laughing matter.

'I was entertained.

'I think like the punctuation is like beautiful.

It's to the point, 'I feel that former employee is grounded.

They're not being ruthless and outrageous.

They're pleading their case in A' way.

That feels truthful and the impact is like 'I think it's pretty valuable.

And it's pretty unique.

'I mean if you wanna know what it's like, read former employee reviews, you know what 'I mean?

And, and, and the fact that this person worked there for eight years, that is such A'

Positive.

So much positive.

So, um, that's why 'I said four and A' half.

Like, it's so almost A', Review, Queen,

Yeah.

But like 'I could even say if this is indeed, like maybe it is A', Review,

In A' way that feels honest.

but to declare that this is what it is to work for this company, 'I, I'm not sure.

So that's why 'I took half crown off.

Why did you say four?

Well, 'I, Trey, 'I really agree with everything that you just said, so I'm not

Um, 'I did take the one crown off because 'I thought you made A'.

Good point that maybe when 'I was sort of interviewing you, maybe this wouldn't

Former employee 'I think they're super classy.

Classy choice with A' punctuation.

Love the, like it really stands out, like even aesthetically, that one sentence that's bolded

Like, it just feels like it was, it's A' classy way of throwing out A' clear

And 'I, you know, 'I 'I hear A' former employee and 'I 'I hope that they're now

And for that reason, for Crown.

Very, very high score for A' brand new platform.

Yeah,

Good job.

That was so fun.

Pet smart.

Pet's Smart.

Is it smart to work there?

'I?

Don't know.

I'm not, I'm not, you know, gonna shit on Pet Smart as A' whole, because 'I 'I

And this isn't about PetSmart.

This is about PetSmart room.

Correct

So 'I, just wanna state that for legal reasons.

What is the one 'I?

Think Pet 'I 'I can't distinguish.

Pet Smart versus

Petco 'I.

Know 'I always get them confused.

Myself,

they're both red and blue.

they, their 'I, their logos are like almost identical.

It's stupid.

Right.

But

Yeah.

But maybe intentional.

is the one 'I Go 'I.

'I.

Honestly don't know either.

'I 'I, 'I.

Never know.

Am 'I going to A' PetSmart or A' Pet Cow?

Could be either.

I'm not

But 'I do know that in Key West there's A' Pet Supermarket.

Oh, just food and

No, no, no, no.

It's exactly the same store concept,

okay.

but their branding is like yellow and it feels very much like A' Dollar General.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah, yeah,

there's gotta be some sort of psychology with the colors that

right.

Like fast food

Yeah,

psychology.

Yeah.

Anyway, really fun,

Yeah.

Good job, ChelseyBD.

Thank you.

That was fun.

'I always liked going down new roads with you Trey.

So thanks for indulging in that and 'I.

Hope you guys enjoyed it as listeners, something A' little different.

well, beep, beep, hop on in

Yes, exactly.

Different road.

Let's go down it together or we just did.

Awesome.

Cool.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Trey, we did it.

We reached the most regal portion of our show.

Who are you inducting this week?

Trey for?

My Royal line.

Well, 'I am so thrilled that you asked, because 'I would love

'I purchased on Amazon back in July of 2022.

When 'I got my new car, and this is A' product that is A' super callous.

I'm gonna read it to you.

It's called cup holder tray for car cup holder expander for car drink holders,

Now jeans 30 slash 32 slash 38 slash 48 ounce Camelback 32 slash 40 ounce detachable tray

'I, it's super coloristic.

'I don't think that we've ever had A' SPAC as My Royal Highness.

but this was certainly A' Super Cali for the super callus.

So, okay, so basically what this is it, it twists into like A' car cup holder and then

So you could technically fit like your giant.

A' cup holder like restricts you to only having like A' Grande from Starbucks,

Right.

This will hold A'

you could have A' trta.

And the reason 'I wanted this to begin with was 'I

So 'I could put A' coffee mug in my cup holder.

You feel like you could mug it while driving.

Oh, 'I do every day in my life because of this product.

Oh,

But what's.

that's so funny.

Okay, go ahead.

Well, remember how we talked about spills when you're rushing

Oh, that's why 'I was thinking it was in the house still.

Like you, you're 'I.

That is, that is like some sort of 'I don't know next level skill to be able to balance.

A' mug in A' car.

Well, 'I always put A' Ice Cube in it, so I'm not gonna get burned.

But yes, even David and 'I have had conversations where he's driving and we're in his car.

He doesn't like me to have A' cup of coffee.

'I know cuz every other human would put it in like A', you

Yeah, 'I know, but 'I 'I don't like that.

It then it's too hot cuz it never cools down and then it burns you.

Oh, interesting.

Okay.

Like 'I need it to be open.

But 'I do have A' travel mug from Starbucks that has like A' little twisty lid.

So it feel it is A' mug.

You don't need the lid.

But anyway, so, okay, so 'I bought this because 'I wanted to have the little slit so that the mug

But this actually has A' little twist.

Tray on top.

So when 'I treat myself to killing my body with fast food, 'I have A'.

Nice little place to put my burger and fries or 'I can place my phone on the

It's like A', little like D A', little desk.

A'.

Little mini

A'

your car.

That's right.

It's like, what were those, do you remember in the nineties we had those little like study?

Oh, lap desks,

It's like A' lap desk.

Now the only sort of thing that isn't Royal Henessy is that you, it always

So anytime David is with me, 'I have to sort of disassemble it, which is unfortunate.

But we're gonna ignore that cuz this is My, Royal Highness.

So,

Right.

'I am inducting this, not necessarily this brand, but just this invention

Um, so 'I can always throw like my straw wrappers or my like napkins and stuff.

So 'I don't have

'I love this like car organization moment for you.

The stuff gets me so excited.

So today, 'I am inducting these gorgeous car cup expansions so that

It's also like, it doesn't have to be coffee.

It can be these now jean bottles that are like giant, you know, like they're

So 'I really encourage anyone who travels A' lot in their car.

And likes to like, you know, hydrate or if you

Or once the big gulp from 7-Eleven

gulp for that Slurpee, then go and, and treat yourself.

It's 2399 on Amazon and 'I love it.

'I mean 'I, literally, like I'll never not be able to have it again in my life.

So

for that reason, yes, I'm inducting you cup holder, traer car, cup holder,

Very nice.

Do you just fit everything in your car cup thing you like are fine?

Yeah.

Um, well, you know, my car sort, it has like A' built-in one of those mini desks, like 'I

And no, 'I don't really 'I mean 'I use my cup holders A' lot.

But 'I guess most of the things that 'I use are the proper size.

But it is making me think maybe 'I should invest in this.

Do you have beverages in your car

Yeah, 'I.

'I.

'I mean like I'll have A' Vitamin Water zero or something like this that

and those will fit.

Yeah.

Or my other Review That Review White water bottle

'I was gonna say, all of our water bottles are this little slim profile.

So they fit

Right,

for me.

So like 'I don't know 'I mean, but there was A' time when 'I was

But 'I don't think that would fit.

right.

Anyway, it's A' good induction.

It's something I'm gonna consider purchasing myself.

I'm obsessed with it and it's so cheap and it like has A' huge impact.

So those are the best.

Love it.

All right.

Well, we did A', Queen,
