Chelsey Donn:First of all, I'm just gonna begin with targeted reviews, okay?
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Clearly 'I get all the weight loss targeted reviews.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I probably got about not even exaggerating, 'I think two A' hundred
Chelsey Donn:So.
Chelsey Donn:'I finally was like, you know what?
Chelsey Donn:'I need to do some more cardio.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Think it was actually Memorial Day when 'I bought it.
Chelsey Donn:It was on sale.
Chelsey Donn:'I went ahead and did it.
Trey Gerrald:Where are you getting the ads?
Chelsey Donn:Instagram mostly, but also Facebook.
Chelsey Donn:I'm not on Facebook as much, so mostly Instagram.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:I'm at work and 'I get A' text message from A' company called Piggy Ship with like no information
Chelsey Donn:But they just text me and they're like, Hey, piggy ship is having trouble delivering your item.
Chelsey Donn:Here's like, A' link to the tracking and here's the phone number for the driver so
Chelsey Donn:'I googled it to make sure it wasn't like spam.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I call the, the guy and he is like, oh, sorry, like, you're not A', part of my deliveries.
Chelsey Donn:And 'I was like, well that's weird because they gave me your phone number.
Chelsey Donn:And he is like, yeah, um, I'll try and call the company for you.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't know why they did that, but yeah, no, 'I don't have your delivery.
Chelsey Donn:So then 'I realized that the piggy ship is the Infinity hoop and 'I messaged the Infinity Hoop
Chelsey Donn:It was the original tracking from, from China, like in whatever service they used.
Chelsey Donn:So it wasn't telling me where it was, it wasn't like it, it was returned
Chelsey Donn:'I had no way of knowing where is it, even how 'I wanna pick it up by myself.
Chelsey Donn:Nobody's communicating with me.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I kept reaching out to Infinity Hoop, and they kept being like, well, it's A' problem with your
Chelsey Donn:And then they provided me with A' tracking number that was incorrect.
Chelsey Donn:And then 'I kept messaging them back and forth and they still have not dealt with this issue.
Chelsey Donn:'I still have paid for A' product that 'I have not received.
Chelsey Donn:It's been like, Over A' month.
Chelsey Donn:At this point, still no product.
Chelsey Donn:And now 'I have to call my credit card company and dispute the charge all because 'I was
Chelsey Donn:And then when the product isn't delivered, you're gonna somehow make
Chelsey Donn:Where in the world is Carbon San Diego going?
Chelsey Donn:Where the hell this product is?
Chelsey Donn:It's ridiculous.
Chelsey Donn:I'm so mad.
Chelsey Donn:'I even went.
Chelsey Donn:The tactic of writing them like A' heartfelt email 'I was just like, you know, 'I was
Chelsey Donn:'I had seen it advertised A' lot.
Chelsey Donn:I'm trying to lose weight, trying to improve my cardiovascular health.
Chelsey Donn:'I really needed this product and 'I feel like it's really wrong that you're
Chelsey Donn:And I've tried everything that 'I can do to get this product.
Chelsey Donn:And the bottom line is, regardless of whether or not it's the shipping company
Chelsey Donn:People that take advantage of A' vulnerable community, and they were just
Chelsey Donn:I'm like, yeah, that's my correct address.
Chelsey Donn:And then they started over again with A', like, maybe we should send A' to your post office.
Chelsey Donn:I'm like, I've had thousands of deliveries to my house.

Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Never heard of it either.
Chelsey Donn:' Trey Gerrald: I, hear the Complaint.
Chelsey Donn:'I agree with you because there is nothing more frustrating than feeling helpless
Chelsey Donn:There's an expectation, there's A' window of time, and then it just doesn't show up.
Chelsey Donn:And then you feel like you're the only one that's
Chelsey Donn:having to like, this was like with Costco review.
Chelsey Donn:It's like
Chelsey Donn:I'm now responsible for correcting your error.
Chelsey Donn:No.

Chelsey Donn:That was like even nicer than A'.
Chelsey Donn:Lot of Broadway.
Chelsey Donn:There was A' live horse on stage.
Chelsey Donn:The lighting was like insane.
Chelsey Donn:We had rain at one point.
Chelsey Donn:The voice of God, the costumes looked like insane.
Chelsey Donn:That was like, like 'I would, if 'I didn't know that it was, you know, A' Christian
Trey Gerrald:let me just go ahead since we're in this conversation.
Trey Gerrald:Now, let me, this is the outside of the theater.
Trey Gerrald:This is in
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:Holy crap guys.
Chelsey Donn:It is A' beautiful theater space.
Chelsey Donn:' Trey Gerrald: I mean it's ginormous, 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Wonder if we can see the, uh, seeding chart
Chelsey Donn:It's like A' huge.
Chelsey Donn:Like A', huge house.
Chelsey Donn:And in that video at least it was like A' full house.
Trey Gerrald:they are famous
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:There's an elephant on stage now.
Chelsey Donn:This is insane.
Chelsey Donn:You guys.
Chelsey Donn:And do they only do Christian thing?
Chelsey Donn:Like will they do like Aladdin or they're only doing Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Bible stories.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:And 'I know of Sight and Sound Theater because my college 'I went to school
Trey Gerrald:they were notorious for the very first question they would ask you if they called you
Chelsey Donn:Crazy.
Chelsey Donn:And if you said no, if you're like, I'm A' Jew, they're like, all right, next.
Trey Gerrald:know.
Trey Gerrald:'cause 'I didn't know Jews in college, but,
Chelsey Donn:Okay, fair enough.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Trey Gerrald:and notoriously like when you are hired by the company, you attend
Trey Gerrald:You say prayers before all the performances
Chelsey Donn:Wow.
Chelsey Donn:So it's A' real.
Trey Gerrald:organization.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:So
Chelsey Donn:And this is A'.
Chelsey Donn:This is A' one.review.
Trey Gerrald:read this one.review.
Trey Gerrald:And this is for Noah.
Trey Gerrald:So here we go.
Trey Gerrald:This is written by Bama, Steve.
Chelsey Donn:Bama.
Trey Gerrald:They have 82 contributions on TripAdvisor,
Trey Gerrald:and this was written on June 5th, 2010.
Trey Gerrald:So the trailer we just watched was 10 years later.
Chelsey Donn:10 years after Bama wrote this review.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So here we go.
Trey Gerrald:The subject for Sight and Sound Theaters written by Bama.
Trey Gerrald:Steve one review is 'I, so wanted to like Noah, but it was flat for me.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:'I so wanted to like this show as we walked into the theater.
Trey Gerrald:It was impressive.
Trey Gerrald:Very large stage and state of the art sound system.
Trey Gerrald:Many of the reviews were great.
Trey Gerrald:at the price of the tickets, 'I was expecting something of the quality 'I
Trey Gerrald:'I was disappointed, as said in previous reviews.
Trey Gerrald:The animals were the most exciting part of the show.
Trey Gerrald:The arc and most of the props were also impressive.
Trey Gerrald:The obviously fake beards and wigs.
Trey Gerrald:The thatched English style village buildings, parentheses wasn't Noah in the Middle East Three
Trey Gerrald:The plot line could have been much more interesting.
Trey Gerrald:'I never felt that any of the lead characters were well developed.
Trey Gerrald:Or drew the audience into the story.
Trey Gerrald:The acting was pretty bad.
Trey Gerrald:Lots of overacting over emotion, yelling, moaning.
Trey Gerrald:That was never quite believable to me.
Trey Gerrald:The evil rulers acting reminded me of A' Bad Children's Theater with the Evil Laugh.
Trey Gerrald:This is Mellow Drama Theater.
Trey Gerrald:Even though this is sold as A' musical, there is much more talk than singing.
Trey Gerrald:Most of it is quote unquote preachy
Trey Gerrald:Without being really artistic or beautiful, this wonderful biblical story could have been told
Trey Gerrald:The songs don't have much of A' medley to them, and none of the solos were very memorable
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:My wife didn't care for the extra stuff added to the story.
Trey Gerrald:Da da.
Trey Gerrald:Things that
Trey Gerrald:are,
Trey Gerrald:within the realm of the possible but aren't in the original biblical story,
Trey Gerrald:eg.
Trey Gerrald:The crowds trying to burn down the arc while it is under construction.
Trey Gerrald:My kids didn't like the part of the show where Noah's kids had been on the Arc for A'
Chelsey Donn:Oh God.
Trey Gerrald:Oh, please stop arguing, yelling and seeing.
Trey Gerrald:Yelling about having to feed the animals 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Just wanna leave this theater by now for exclamation marks.
Trey Gerrald:'I just saw the miracle 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Pigeon Forge two weeks before this and found the miracles Christian message presented in A'.
Trey Gerrald:Much more artistic, poetic, and beautiful fashion with exceptional acting choreography
Trey Gerrald:Noah didn't touch me in the same way and left me feeling 'I had just paid A' hundred and $50 to see
Trey Gerrald:In all fairness, there were many around me after the show who commented
Trey Gerrald:So some of you may like it, but if you are used to seeing professional plays with deep storylines
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Don't think you're gonna like this one,
Chelsey Donn:Wow, interesting.
Chelsey Donn:'I feel like 'I went on A' rollercoaster with how 'I felt about
Trey Gerrald:right?
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Think 'I.
Trey Gerrald:know exactly where the twist went.
Trey Gerrald:'cause if it occurs to me,
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Well, 'I don't know, but 'I just feel like in the beginning, 'I was
Chelsey Donn:So the fact that Bama.
Chelsey Donn:Started there and was like, 'I was super impressed with everything that 'I was seeing.
Chelsey Donn:Like the sets were great, the whatever, like all, all these elements that when 'I was watching the
Chelsey Donn:So 'I was like, okay, bam.
Chelsey Donn:Us off to A'.
Chelsey Donn:Really good start.
Chelsey Donn:'cause they're not A', total curmudgeon that's just gonna complain about everything.
Chelsey Donn:The switch for me happened, oh, first of all, the moaning, l o l.
Chelsey Donn:But the switch for me happened around just like, again, maybe this is my bias or my
Chelsey Donn:Like if they were just so religious that any kind of departure from the norm was really throwing
Chelsey Donn:That was like kind of where 'I sort of got off the train.
Chelsey Donn:A' little bit.
Chelsey Donn:What about you?
Trey Gerrald:Well, it's an interesting, that's an interesting point of the review
Trey Gerrald:How do you make that A' $150 ticket price Story 'I mean you probably will have to take
Trey Gerrald:Otherwise
Chelsey Donn:And to add drama, to add elements of
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:And if you're like hiring people to play Noah's children, like you want to maybe give them
Trey Gerrald:A' storyline.
Trey Gerrald:Right,
Trey Gerrald:exactly.
Trey Gerrald:'I think for me, 'I was sort of buying, regardless of how Bama feels about Christian theater,
Trey Gerrald:until they start really pumping up the competitor
Chelsey Donn:Oh, well that,
Chelsey Donn:' Trey Gerrald: I.
Chelsey Donn:Mean 'I really sort of thought, oh, did you write the score for the Miracle over at
Chelsey Donn:1000%.
Chelsey Donn:'I wrote that down.
Chelsey Donn:So that was my second point.
Chelsey Donn:So like first when they were saying just about the acting being bad, 'I was like, 'I kind of can't!
Chelsey Donn:believe that.
Chelsey Donn:Right?
Chelsey Donn:Like especially if they're demographic like you shared, is so specific.
Chelsey Donn:Like not only you know, are you A' talented actor, but you also have to be Christian.
Chelsey Donn:You also have to be Christian enough to wanna be in A' show like this.
Chelsey Donn:'I can see how maybe we're not getting the highest caliber.
Chelsey Donn:Talent.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I was totally believing them at that point.
Chelsey Donn:Sort of starting to get A' little suss around, okay, are we A' little bit more religious?
Chelsey Donn:Are we A' Little bit more strict about the way we're interpreting the Bible?
Chelsey Donn:But then, yeah, when we got into that whole section about the miracle, you
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:even if Bama is not the artistic director of that show, they might be involved.
Trey Gerrald:Well 'I, that obviously occurs to me, but if 'I wanna be devil's
Trey Gerrald:If you are someone who is seeking out Christian based entertainment storytelling for your
Trey Gerrald:than if you were looking for like Marvel entertainment
Trey Gerrald:or like, you know, so it is possible that you would've also seen this Christian
Trey Gerrald:'I mean like, sure.
Chelsey Donn:That's totally right.
Chelsey Donn:If you're somebody that's really only, you're gonna be only listening to Christian
Chelsey Donn:But then also 'I feel like you probably have.
Chelsey Donn:Ties to those places because of the communities that you're running into.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I don't know that the two are mutually exclusive 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Guess that's where I'm like, maybe 'I don't know 'I.
Chelsey Donn:I'm not A' hundred percent saying that they definitely know somebody at the other theater.
Chelsey Donn:But 'I think that the passion with which, and the placement where they put like 'I, the
Chelsey Donn:But then we did sort of win it back when we ended with the bottom bun of the sandwich.
Chelsey Donn:We said some of you might like it, right?
Chelsey Donn:Wasn't my bag.
Chelsey Donn:For some of you.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe the fact there are animals on stage, whatever, like that might be enough for you.
Chelsey Donn:And 'I thought that that was A' Christian, uh, way of wrapping up A' one.review.
Trey Gerrald:Well 'I find Bama Steve to be really per com to be very complex
Trey Gerrald:as A' character on the page because they spend A' lot of real estate pointing
Trey Gerrald:versus Noah being Middle East, Eastern.
Trey Gerrald:Also, they like have A' proficiency and Broadway material and hilarious l o l that they say 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Off-Broadway touring company.
Trey Gerrald:Like those are like three different things.
Trey Gerrald:An off-Broadway show, A' touring company, like an Off-Broadway show is
Trey Gerrald:And, but 'I thought this would be interesting for our show because I'm
Trey Gerrald:curious to sort of dissect, are there different expectations for A' Broadway
Trey Gerrald:Like, are you gonna be critical that they're wearing fake beards?
Chelsey Donn:'I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:'I do think that they purport themselves to be at that level.
Chelsey Donn:So yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Then it really.
Chelsey Donn:Does need to be uniform throughout.
Chelsey Donn:You know, why are you gonna have animals on stage and then have shitty beards
Chelsey Donn:'I don't know about the comment of like the town because again, 'I think we're dealing with someone
Trey Gerrald:Well,
Trey Gerrald:' Chelsey Donn: I don't even
Trey Gerrald:That was my next thing is like if you're looking for that much accuracy,
Trey Gerrald:then Noah would be Middle Eastern.
Trey Gerrald:They wouldn't be A' white person.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Trey Gerrald:Like if you're that
Chelsey Donn:in their Bible, they probably would, in their Bible,
Trey Gerrald:'I mean
Chelsey Donn:they'd be like, he's Middle Eastern, but he's still white.
Trey Gerrald:What do you think about the like children's theater, evil, laugh, melodrama.
Trey Gerrald:'I mean, looking at that set, it looks
Trey Gerrald:like A' melodrama.
Trey Gerrald:To me it is so expansive.
Trey Gerrald:It is so lush.
Trey Gerrald:It's so huge.
Trey Gerrald:Like for the storytelling to be melodrama, 'I don't feel like that's incongruent.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, 'I agree.
Chelsey Donn:'I think it's so hard with any of these reviews to really know, because we've said it
Chelsey Donn:So someone could go and see something and be like, the acting was terrible.
Chelsey Donn:And then someone else could see it and be like, the acting was great.
Chelsey Donn:And 'I do think that Bama left some room for that.
Chelsey Donn:Like they were like, there were people around us that were like, oh, this is great.
Chelsey Donn:You know, 'I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:Do 'I Trust Bama more than the average?
Chelsey Donn:Joe Donn don't know.
Chelsey Donn:What do you, what do you think about the kids being like, father 'I hated
Chelsey Donn:Why would they display siblings fighting that's so wrong?
Chelsey Donn:Like 'I know 'I made the British, but like, what the hell?
Trey Gerrald:Bama, Steve mentions their wife, my head cocked because 'I 'I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:Maybe I'm just A' gay person that thinks the world is gay.
Trey Gerrald:And then
Trey Gerrald:when they talk about their kids 'I think, oh, my 'I mean.
Trey Gerrald:It all just felt like, wait, what?
Trey Gerrald:You need conflict.
Trey Gerrald:Like it's just interesting 'cause Bama, Steve is really nitpicking what is being
Trey Gerrald:'I want to just believe that they're saying 'I much preferred this other offering,
Trey Gerrald:But something about it like you're complaining that they're wearing the
Trey Gerrald:But Donn don't know.
Trey Gerrald:I'm someone who 'I 'I.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't need to spend A' lot of time here.
Trey Gerrald:But famously 'I did see A' Tony winning performance in the second row and could not enjoy
Trey Gerrald:very clear.
Trey Gerrald:It was the actor, not the production.
Trey Gerrald:That 'I missed the entire performance.
Trey Gerrald:So
Trey Gerrald:I'm obviously.
Chelsey Donn:on the
Trey Gerrald:I'm obviously much more like Bama Steve than 'I perhaps want
Trey Gerrald:to admit, but 'I
Trey Gerrald:mean 'I, don't
Chelsey Donn:Let's break down the value here.
Chelsey Donn:'cause 'I do think that there are pieces of value within this review.
Chelsey Donn:We know that it's A' hundred $50, so that's what I'm gonna
Trey Gerrald:And that people around you enjoyed it.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, it might be not at the caliber that their promotion, that the grandiose nature
Chelsey Donn:'I kind of think that 'I appreciate that.
Chelsey Donn:Warning 'I always like that.
Chelsey Donn:Like 'I always like whenever there's anything that is super popular 'I like when people
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:This objective mind, whatever you wanna call it.
Chelsey Donn:Like this could go either way.
Chelsey Donn:'I am not counting on this being A' Home Run, and I'm not counting on it being A' train wreck.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:And 'I get that.
Trey Gerrald:It is like A' discerning look, which 'I think is interesting.
Trey Gerrald:And to say that the best quality in the show was the live animals, 'I mean That's scathing.
Chelsey Donn:And 'I do.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:You know, again, we have to consider the audience of people that are going to
Chelsey Donn:Maybe there are gonna be other people that are Bama Steves who are gonna
Chelsey Donn:Oh, they took liberties with the sets.
Chelsey Donn:'I don't want to see that.
Chelsey Donn:'I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:Noah was not standing around singing in real life.
Trey Gerrald:Like none of it's accurate.
Trey Gerrald:It's
Chelsey Donn:But it's Right, right.
Chelsey Donn:What do we think about the fact that we're calling this A' musical and we're
Chelsey Donn:Expect A', lot of talking and some screaming Sing, yelling,
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:'I mean 'I Don't know.
Trey Gerrald:Like what is the actual definition of A' play with music versus A' musical?
Trey Gerrald:Like do you
Trey Gerrald:have to have A', certain number of songs?
Trey Gerrald:'I don't
Trey Gerrald:know.
Chelsey Donn:don't know either.
Chelsey Donn:Interesting, 'I.
Trey Gerrald:is like beautiful and perfect.
Chelsey Donn:Do we think that Bama Steve is like A' pastor or something?
Chelsey Donn:At very least
Trey Gerrald:we think Bama, Steve wanted to be A' performer.
Trey Gerrald:Do we think they're A' Musical composer?
Trey Gerrald:'I mean they, they have A'.
Trey Gerrald:Lot
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Think Bama.
Chelsey Donn:Steve definitely has maybe some suppressed artistic dreams.
Chelsey Donn:'I kind of feel like Bama.
Chelsey Donn:Steve and his wife homeschool.
Chelsey Donn:The kids now 'I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:Making A' leap there,
Trey Gerrald:'I.
Trey Gerrald:Think that too
Trey Gerrald:on this conversation.
Trey Gerrald:'I, think the truthful, shady commonality sort of thing.
Trey Gerrald:If 'I am spending A' hundred $50 A' ticket, and I'm bringing my
Trey Gerrald:family, A' four, and 'I can see they have live animals.
Trey Gerrald:This is A' ginormous, 'I
Trey Gerrald:immersive, like over the top
Trey Gerrald:spectacle.
Chelsey Donn:experience.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Hire people with beards.
Trey Gerrald:'I mean like it is sort of absurd.
Trey Gerrald:Like if the beard work and the wig work takes you that much out, but they're
Trey Gerrald:actually walking live elephants on the stage, that's A' huge glaring issue like 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Get
Trey Gerrald:the point there.
Trey Gerrald:That's A' mighty price for you to have wigs from amazon.com.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Were we humored at all?
Chelsey Donn:'I mean intentionally.
Chelsey Donn:'I, 'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't know.
Trey Gerrald:'I mean I'm 'I was entertained enough, but 'I.
Trey Gerrald:'I don't know if it was intentional,
Trey Gerrald:the quarreling,
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:The quarreling between the children on the
Trey Gerrald:that's why you made them British.
Trey Gerrald:The word
Chelsey Donn:Oh, maybe, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:'I just felt like, yeah, 'I just felt like there was something so buttoned up about Bama.
Trey Gerrald:buttoned up.
Trey Gerrald:But there's also like, I'm not sure about the trustworthiness.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:'I don't know, right.
Chelsey Donn:'I kind of feel like we're dealing within an ecosystem where like if you are A'
Chelsey Donn:And if you're not like us 'I, think we're really questioning A' lot.
Trey Gerrald:But 'I also feel like 'I have experienced BAA's frustrations at
Trey Gerrald:Broadway shows.
Chelsey Donn:Sure.
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:With the rings.
Trey Gerrald:And many other experiences.
Trey Gerrald:It's very hard for me to enjoy live
Chelsey Donn:'I get that.
Chelsey Donn:'I get that.
Chelsey Donn:And 'I think that that's, that's where like if you're that kind of person again,
Trey Gerrald:And 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Also, before we go into Crowning Bama ends with A' sentence that says, Noah didn't touch
Trey Gerrald:And that left me with A' feeling that 'I had just spent A' lot of money on A' childish amateur
Trey Gerrald:show with an expensive set
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Get
Trey Gerrald:that.
Trey Gerrald:sort of resonates for me.
Trey Gerrald:Let's, let's crown them.
Trey Gerrald:So ChelseyBD.
Trey Gerrald:and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.
Trey Gerrald:And in an effort to be fair and not influenced by one another's, outrageous, extravagant sets,
Voiceover:Queens are Tabulating
Voiceover:to school.
Chelsey Donn:Okay, I'm holding up three crowns.
Chelsey Donn:Trey is holding up four crowns.
Chelsey Donn:'I went with three because 'I just don't know that this is gonna be.
Chelsey Donn:Everyone's experience.
Chelsey Donn:I'm left not knowing if A' A', A' is A', hundred percent A' reliable narrator, or
Chelsey Donn:To look outside of the box of this one theater space that they really love.
Chelsey Donn:So 'I don't know if it's that or if there's really A' larger warning here that merits
Chelsey Donn:So that was why 'I went with Three Crowns.
Chelsey Donn:'cause 'I do think there's information here, but 'I think it's specific
Chelsey Donn:Why four?
Trey Gerrald:'I said four because it 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Appreciate Bama.
Trey Gerrald:Steve is able to be discerning about A' very, uh, compassion outwardly, you know, 'I.
Trey Gerrald:Uh, driven community, sort of pick apart things that even if 'I have A', different
Trey Gerrald:'I, appreciate Bama.
Trey Gerrald:Steve wanted to sort of offer A' little bit of A' warning rather than just being like, it was great.
Trey Gerrald:They looked like they were having fun up there.
Trey Gerrald:Like,
Trey Gerrald:you know, but 'I also wanna say that A', lot of what Bama offers is just innately my expectation.
Trey Gerrald:'I, were gonna go see A' Christian themed musical by an organization that only tells stories that
Trey Gerrald:So,
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Love
Trey Gerrald:but yeah, 'I couldn't do Review Queen because 'I feel like 'I can't tell.
Trey Gerrald:If 'I can totally trust the ethics behind leaving the review.
Chelsey Donn:Mm-hmm.
Trey Gerrald:if 'I were to go and see the show, 'I would consider, oh, like maybe because they
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Trey Gerrald:you know, Donn don't know.
Trey Gerrald:I'm just really perplexed.
Trey Gerrald:I'm really intrigued.
Trey Gerrald:This whole existence of this ecosystem is so convoluted for me that 'I appreciate you
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:'I.
Chelsey Donn:Don't know 'I just never heard of Sight and Sound Theater before, like
Chelsey Donn:'I did, but I'm sort of enamored by the fact that you actually auditioned for this company,
Trey Gerrald:Well, 'I, you know, when you go to
Trey Gerrald:these colleges, you audition,
Chelsey Donn:For everything at once.
Chelsey Donn:Straw hat 'I did.
