[Theme Song]

Oh,

Hi listeners.

Welcome to Review That Review.

You are listening to the podcast dedicated to reviewing

Reviews!

We're just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we

that is Chelsey Donn.

And that is Trey Gerrald.

And us together are

Review Queen.

To support our show while getting bonus exclusive content, including our

How are you Chelsey?

I was going to say so many awards, all already won.

It's hard to even know which one we're referencing, know?

Right.

My week was good.

Goldie got spade.

Shout out to Bob Barker, doing our part to control the animal population.

Yeah.

She handled it very well.

How was that experience for you?

For me, it was very emotional, you know, for babies, like

Like she's thank goodness.

Not going to all the woods.

She bounced back very well.

And she's back to driving me insane as usual.

So all good there.

How's your week going?

I'm having a good week.

You know, my life is becoming very

Yes.

different kinds of cars.

Cause I'm going to pull the plug the end of this month.

I'm going to try to get.

Into the Memorial day savings extravaganza.

And

Okay.

Fair.

using all this time to save money And get ready

you've had a little distance from the CRI

from that cry.

And I've, I've decided to choose a different brand

start.

Fresh start fresh it's yeah, there's gotta be an eclipse or a full moon or something coming

up.

So.

part of me that feels like I can't choose that brand.

And that car I wanted originally, like someone has to

It's

has to be punished other than

someone needs be held accountable.

Might as well be the car company.

I listen, I approve.

I think you should always shop around there's.

There's always lots of options out there and I'm proud of you for willingly putting yourself

you.

And I

I actually received that with true sincerity, even though I know it is

Yes, but it's true.

like, you know, what, it's part of life growing pains.

Growing pans.

Yeah.

Speaking of growing pans, do you have a complaint that you want to launch this week?

I do.

This week.

I really need to

Lodge A Complaint.

against a phenomenon that has occurred to me many times.

I don't know if occurred to you, but you pick up your cup of your drink.

You take us up.

How, what, because you thought it was Sprite, but it's actually water

yeah.

iced tea, it's actually co.

Um,

That sensation where you feel like, you know, the taste

surprise attack.

in actuality It's something completely different.

Has that ever happened to you?

It's definitely happened.

It's extremely jarring.

It's like, it's very disoriented because it's like your brain in preparation

So when that response is matte with something, you know, just different than the anticipated, A'.

very jarring.

It is a moment of like reality those times that I've had this moment, I really am.

So off-kilter, it really throws me off.

Yeah.

I aim to do with all of my acting.

Um, really like take them down a road and let them expect something.

And then just flip the script.

That's why I only accept roles that are titled gay man, so that when they look at

So as soon as I speak, they're just really thrown off because I'm so straight.

Yeah.

Well this much me now.

So that's my complaint.

If anyone else has been there, call in and tell us about it.

Were you at your rehearsal dinner with your in-laws that you don't like?

Like, tell me what's the backstory.

Chelsey, what would you like to lodge a complaint against today?

Thank you for asking Trey.

I have beef.

I got beef.

I do.

I have beef with loud doors.

And when I say loud doors, what I mean is

slamming.

yeah, but like, you know how doors have the capacity to have that?

Like slow, soft, close.

should have a slow close, because some doors, especially heavy doors, they really leave a slam.

And I find, you know, that can kind of speak for you in a way that's

Like.

If you're talking to somebody and then you're like, bye, see you later.

And then you go out the door and it slams behind you.

And you didn't know that it was allowed door that could leave the person saying what a

And I just think it's jarring.

I have a lot of anxiety.

I don't know if the door people are trying to kill me.

All doors should be soft, closing doors and enough.

I mean, have you ever been shucking up by allowed door that you weren't expecting?

I have been a person that has had to open the door back and be like, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

Yeah,

I am that person,

me too,

my first thought about the slow close, obviously kitchen cabinet.

It's like, that's such a

right.

invention,

Oh, the best.

my brain immediately goes to scream.

And if real doors were soft, close, and you were being chased by the killer, and

That would actually be funny for a scary movie, 11,

Or like as like, like an 11 year old and you're like being sent to time out and you're

And it's like, you

boom.

like, a really slow class.

That'd be really funny,

would be really funny, but like, I hate that sound like

Ugh.

metal doors onto

you know, like in school, I always think of schools, but it's like commercial buildings where

Yep.

doors, but there's like a beam right.

Smack

Yes, yes,

Those are so loud.

It makes me think of gym class.

yes.

And if you don't, if you know, you can prepare, but if you don't know it's,

You know, like that's what it feels

like.

I think, um, if, if we weren't present to this prior, I think

Yes.

on this podcast today's complainants that we are control freaks, and we like.

to know the outcome

yes.

Very much.

It's a very Regal process that we call.

And Trey, you are taken away.

RQT

Review That Review

Okay.

So today I thought I would channel some fun and I am bringing in a four star review

Okay.

for the card game against humanity.

Uh, oh,

okay.

Four stars though.

I have played.

All right, we'll talk about after this is written by Don.

Okay.

And Donna's subject is fun game, but too many words to look up.

Oh, God.

Okay.

This is a verified purchase and it was written December 21st, 2015.

Here we go.

This game was All the buzz and I have played it a couple of times at parties.

And I finally decided to buy my very own box of cards against humanity.

The game is messed up, it is absolutely hilarious.

Although I think the game is kind of hit and miss not everyone really gets into it and not because

Because there are a lot of words that are not in people's regular vocabulary.

So when someone plays a card no one knows a words, definition, it kind of

Overall, I do like the game, but you've got to get right.

crowd of people to play, to make it fun and interest.

I have played it with people what just laughed the whole time and played it with people where

I like the game, I don't like how I have to pull out my dictionary app to

And if it is a funny card, it doesn't get chosen because people don't

If they come across something, they don't know the definition of guests,

All right.

Donna mama Mia.

Two people found this helpful.

Okay.

I think there were some interesting things in Donna's Review!

I liked that she described cards against humanity as messed up, but hilarious.

Cause I that's like a really good synopsis of the game.

Like it is it's messed up, but it's funny.

I think Donna lost me a little bit is so I played cards against humanity.

I can't remember there being a lot of words that I didn't know.

Do you remember that?

So I picked this Review!

because I found a bunch of reviews really split down the middle about like,

I'm calling my pastor and

Oh God.

is the best thing in the world.

It's so funny.

this, this one really stood out because Donna talks about.

Their vocabulary

Right.

I own two sets of cards against humanity.

Actually.

I bought one for my sister.

I bought the expansion packs.

I bought the Jewish expansion

it.

the pride expansion packs.

So I know a lot about this game

Yeah,

there are oftentimes where I will get a car.

And it.

feels very niche or it feels very like of 2017,

sure.

pop.

So there are times I don't know that it would be like a, like an adjective that I didn't know.

Yeah.

I'm like, what is she talking about?

Like a mercan

like, like, it

unsure of what it is.

They're looking up in the dictionary, but

right?

some times there are like, pop culture or they're celebrities, or

Right.

Sure.

that maybe not everyone would know, it seems possible to me.

I don't know if it's probable

Yeah.

I don't know how to say the following without throwing shade at Donna.

So I'm going to try to figure this out.

I

feel like I'm thinking that Donna is.

I'll say the French vanilla of the, of like her friend group.

I think that Donna really falls in the middle here.

And she has like a lot of friends that are like, Vanessa.

She is French vanilla.

She has a lot of friends that are like vanilla, vanilla.

And then she's like the French vanilla of the vanilla bananas.

Or she has a lot of friends that are like Rocky road and, you know, like very.

Fun and effervescent.

And she's the vanilla of that group.

Like I think she falls somewhere in the middle because it's interesting to me that it

But when Donna is around her other group of friends where she has to sort of lead, it's not as

Well, I do.

There's two things I want to say about that comment.

I do.

Maybe Donna's too in their head when they're the one hosting the

Right.

That's what I'm saying,

but I also have experienced really Rawkus rounds with certain group of

right?

sort of like, you know,

Ma

of funny.

yeah.

I also think that sometimes it'll be like, uh, sexual euphemisms that

deduce like a rusty trombone.

Like, I don't know what that is, but I know it's some

Right.

Yeah.

maybe that happens, but

I also think that that's part of the game too, is like playing to whoever the judge is.

Like, if you're like, I don't really know what a rusty trombone is, but like

So she probably knows what it is then you want to throw it in during that round.

And that's what I was going to say is that sometimes the humor is found

Right,

completely mismatched,

right.

we like to play with a banana we just put in a random card and

And we've literally had rounds where the banana has

Exactly.

Yeah.

Cause it's fun to see like, okay, what happens if we just throw a random card here?

It's like, is that when I've done that too?

Yeah, So like our roster here, do you think that Donna's

Yeah,

here?

I think there's value in the sense that they're pinning

They're warning you that, like, there might be some words that you don't know, which I

It was a little bit complainy for a four-star.

isn't that interesting?

Yeah,

I'm not left with feeling of four stars.

right.

Cause it seems like this dictionary issue is almost a deal breaker for Donna.

It's like a really takes me out of it.

And honestly, I like the last sentence I think is so funny.

I guess I should extend my vocabulary

I know,

Donna, isn't happy about that, but I think that could be positive.

Someone could be like, oh, this is great.

Like, I can learn vocabulary.

things.

There was also one really funny Review!, but it wasn't good for the show, but

that they

Oh, wow.

that's crazy.

spin on that.

Review!

that like, it's fun to play with them to see sides of them that they don't show

At least that's how I perceived.

I liked that she fasts up to the house rules.

I always, I always like know people's house rules, like the banana for you.

And she said that she does a house rule where she lets people swap out cards that they don't know.

So I thought that at least says that the game is adaptable to some

degree.

had, and I've had games like that as well.

Where then if you don't know it, you have to share it and say that you don't know what.

right, right.

Right.

Which is positive spinning here.

Maybe Donna could take that on

Right.

Exactly.

were a couple of spam spammer.

grammar,

a couple of spelling glitches in here.

not everyone into it was that.

And then also one very long run on sentence that was confusing

Like Donna really has presented.

Maybe there's something that I'm not bringing to the table that.

the dictionary has to help me with.

I don't think they're being shady about the game.

I think they're actually saying like, it's hilarious and it's messed up.

It's four stars.

It's fun.

But if you just want to be having fun and not education, then maybe an sat prep class.

I don't know.

Right.

Although I don't know that these words would be on the SATs.

All right.

Anything else we should consider for Donna before we crown her?

No.

I mean, do you think that other people have this experience?

I think some people might have this experience.

I'm just what I'm wrapping my head around as they go into crowning is the useful factor here.

under what circumstance is this helpful in deciding whether or

crown it.

Yeah.

we go.

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

We will simultaneously reveal our ratings.

The Queens are Tabulating.

Okay.

Two and a half crowns, two and a half

crowns up.

I meant to do that one.

I flipped to the.

Oh, okay.

Trey's holding up one and a half crowns.

I'm holding up two and a half crowns.

Maybe I was kinder to Donna that I had.

I gave Donna props because I think that there are other donnas out there that might be a

And I think that if you are somebody.

That was a Dawna, so to speak, you might see yourself in Donna's experience and consider

I really couldn't give Donna any more than the two and a half, because I don't

I don't think we're going to sway that many people.

And it didn't really feel like a four-star review to me.

So for those reasons I gave the two and a half, why one and a half.

Wait, did you say mama Mia at the beginning of this?

Because that's the lead

Donna.

Yeah.

I hate you.

Why?

I thought it was so clever.

You didn't

get it.

on brand for me, and I didn't even get it until

I know.

I love that.

okay.

So I said one and a half only because it.

doesn't make sense.

It's four stars.

I don't think this is really a problem.

I also agree, like there are probably people that don't live in the culture of the context

But I do think that the people that would want to experiment and learn are already in that idea

Like

Right.

a mind expanding experience,

Yes.

a Donna's positivity

Yeah.

it four stars, even though it ultimately felt sort of negative.

So that's why I said one and a half because I appreciated the positive push,

Yes.

I don't think there's much value here other than like, It's

I just, I think it's all over the place.

So that's why I said one and a

Fair.

Totally agree.

Good.

Review!

track.

thank you.

Maybe we could play cards against humanity one day on the live.

Oh, I would like that.

Let us know if you're interested in playing cards against humanity with The Queens.

That could be fun.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, let's take a quick break.

And when we come back, we can get into Chelsey's.

Review That Review

All right.

Let's start here.

We are rear back from That rousing game break, which Chelsey One, and Chelsey

of the week.

What have you selected?

All right.

Well, I really was staying on theme today with LA Hollywood.

So my main Review!

today is actually for Hollywood Boulevard.

So the whole Boulevard, the whole thing.

This is a one dot TripAdvisor review written by travel PO 11.

Travel Poe 11 PO

I think it's like travel pole.

That's like how it looks, but it's one One,

is this a Telly's hubby?

travel pole

Winky tipsy LA LA.

PO could be it.

Got let's just go with travel pole 11.

Okay.

Alright.

The subject is a mess.

Here we go.

When we have out of town guests, one of the places they want to see is Hollywood Boulevard.

Unfortunately, their vision of Hollywood Boulevard is non existent.

They will not casually stroll down the Boulevard and bump into movie stars and celebrities.

They will not be able to take pictures of their favorite actors and actresses

What they will find is a mass of bodies, crowding the street, a circus, a shit

There are so many people on the street.

You will see the snake until his head is up in your face.

Wow.

Hotdog carts in the middle of the sidewalk with hotdogs wrapped in

People screaming messages or songs into amplified equipment, men with their pants

Why I have no clue, many people dress like characters competing for your mother.

Just who is the person in that costume, hugging your child.

As you snap photo after photo for your memory book, you have no idea.

Anyone can put on a costume and take pictures with you and or your children.

Scary.

Forget, looking down the sidewalk to read the stars names.

If you try, he won't last long.

You'll bang into people.

Just try to get a picture of your favorite stars.

Star, the people we have taken, never go back.

Yeah.

I mean, it's interesting because it just, mean, I don't disagree,

but I don't have the expectation.

Like, I, I don't, I'm not surprised that it's crazy.

Cause it's a tourist trap.

I have a theory.

Tell me.

I think that travel PO 11 has written this review so that people who visit

Like, I wouldn't be shocked.

I haven't done my due diligence, but maybe a travel PO has like a whole list of

And before, you know, friends come in the future, he says, oh, take a look at my TripAdvisor.

I have a bunch of things.

Let me know what you want to do so that he can preempt this shit show.

Cause it is very similar to people wanting to go to times square.

yeah.

You know, when they go to New York and when you live there, you're

But I will tell you that even when David and I went to Palm bay, It's exactly

nightmare.

like being on Hollywood Boulevard, it's like tons of vendors, tons of people with

The first time I went to Los Angeles, I also went to Hollywood Boulevard because I thought holy cow.

like, there were people like with snakes and there were like, that didn't seem that surprising to me.

I will say.

How do I, like, it's not surprising to me that you might meet unsavory characters or

Like this isn't 1930s.

And like Marilyn Monroe was putting her hands on the cement.

Right.

said like, yes, people are going to be around you and bumping around you.

And you're trying to take a picture of like Woody Allen star or

Oh God.

Yeah.

in the middle of the sidewalk.

So even the design of the Hollywood walk of fame, The stars are in the middle

I've a walkway.

Yeah,

you're no matter, you know, even if this was Disneyland, going

right.

agree.

It is hella populated.

I, I don't know that I would say shit show, but I would say, you know, this isn't pristine,

right.

They didn't spell out shit show completely, by the way they were,

they.

can I guess, was it, um, it a money sign for the.

No,

or a hashtag and per

it's S H dash dash T show show.

I do have a question.

Can anyone just put on a costume?

You don't have to have a permit.

I don't really know about that, but it doesn't seem like the regular, I

Cause some of them seem like they have very cheap costumes that they

and thrown on.

could just stroll up there.

I don't know.

I know

I mean, I feel like worse comes to worse.

The police sort of shoo you away.

That's a risk that I think these people are willing to take.

right, but when it comes to a vendor, like you have to have a permit for that

But these people aren't vendors, they're like,

But they are asking for tips.

yeah, I don't, I don't really know

though, like yeah.

The rules on the bus.

that, really made me think of times square.

I mean, that's fair, but it is similar.

It's like of course, I don't know.

I mean where I think there's value here is that, like you said, when you came to

Even though for me, living here for you living close to times square, we're sort

We got to go to Hollywood Boulevard and, and put our hands in the celeb.

Like there are going people that are going to want to do this.

And if there are people that are on the more naive side, I like.

That travel PO you know, got into details.

They really painted a picture here.

Like I get it.

You want to go, this is your plan.

Your plan is to go and take pictures with actors and actresses stars that you like, or

Right.

Because people are also going to think that.

I think they addressed both of those things and also addressed.

This is what you're going to see.

You think you're going to see this.

You're not, you're going to see crowds.

You're going to see a PI, a Python guy.

You're going to see street meat.

You're going to see unsavory characters.

However you want to classify it.

You know that it's not the safest that you're going to feel a bit unsafe.

So if with all of that in mind, you're still like, it's still really important to me to

Go for it, but at least, you know what you're getting yourself into.

Yeah, that's a good point.

I think it's probably just the execution of it that I, I disagree with.

I like, I think you could be really honest about what the reality is.

And I think the color of this Review!

feels a little snarky a little like angry kind of like, I, I don't know.

It feels emotional.

It feels like there's an emotion here.

It feels like travel.

Is like, has an opinion about how this is,

which I got,

The, the spelling, I feel like there was a

there were a couple, so

that PO could have used the television screen inside of the Teletubby

I think that's what we're

I think they would have allowed him to hop on the tele toppy wifi to maybe

set up and ready.

I absolutely think that this is going to be a common experience.

Yes, I absolutely agree.

It's only the emotion that I think might be a little fluky, but I agree with you.

I think like I'm, I received this from a cynical point of view, and I think there might

know, black and white films

Exactly.

Boulevard.

That being said, rip that being said with the mention of the, the,

I think calling it a shit show.

Isn't funny.

I think that's like emotional.

Okay.

I don't know.

That's how it's occurring to me.

didn't really think it was that funny.

I don't, I don't know why I felt defensive.

see.

I don't know why, because I have no attachment, but I guess I just, I,

Ryan,

but there might be people that would add.

Yeah,

And I appreciate you pointing.

I think that.

There was an attempt at, at humor, I think being so emotional, I just think we got

Because I think the fact that in the beginning, they mentioned, like, I have a lot of friends

Experience one too many times.

And every time the person is leaving saying, well, I don't need to do that again.

So I think that that's where the emotion is coming from.

But other than that, I feel like I'm ready to crown

Yeah.

let's crown, this telephone.

let's crown, this pet.

The Queens are Tabulating.

Okay.

Oh, interesting.

I'm holding up three crowns.

Trey's holding up four crowns, Trey Y four crowns for travel pillow 11.

I did four, because I think the meat on this bone is accurate.

Right.

I'm just as an, a disagreement on the, um, of it.

I, it's not necessary in my opinion, to be so angry that you've had to take so many guests here.

And it's always disappointing.

Like, even if you are angry, I think you can be a little more straight to

Like this is.

Lucy and Desi go to Hollywood

It's very different today.

It's gone.

You're going to be in a tourist trap.

There's going to be lots of people trying to get money from you.

It's going to be a little unsavory, go

Yeah,

armed with this information.

And I wish you the best to have a great time.

But I used to do this live interactive show called accomplice Hollywood that

And I was there every weekend.

And I got to say, I was probably a little bit closer to travel Poe Eleven's opinion.

By the time I was finished with

that show.

And the very first time I ever went to Hollywood,
