Speaker:

Everybody's got an opinion.

Speaker:

Every Californian, Virginian in Virginia, it's so hard to tell

Speaker:

who to cho and who to ignore.

Speaker:

Someone's gotta settle The Score.

Speaker:

Trey and Chelsey will help you choose who's win, which.

Speaker:

Hello.

Speaker:

Well, hello and welcome to Review That Review.

Speaker:

We are the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing reviews.

Speaker:

That is Chelsey Donn,

Speaker:

and that is Trey Gerrald.

Speaker:

But together

Speaker:

we are the Review Queen.

Speaker:

Here at Review.

Speaker:

That Review, we believe in balance, the good, the bad, and the kvetchy.

Speaker:

So it's only fair that we take a moment to fetch it out.

Speaker:

Trey, would you like to

Speaker:

Lodge A

Speaker:

Complaint?

Speaker:

I'm already mad.

Speaker:

I'm already mad.

Speaker:

You

Speaker:

already know.

Speaker:

The exhale starts

Speaker:

because I noted this on okay.

Speaker:

Three days ago, and I was like, oh.

Speaker:

My God, this is a zero to 1000 for me.

Speaker:

Mm. Okay.

Speaker:

I don't know how in the 205 episodes, this has not been lodged yet.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I'm gonna try to not, um, be concerned with how I'm gonna be received with this.

Speaker:

Mm, got it.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I moonlight in customer service, so I feel like I have a right

Speaker:

to, to complain about this today.

Speaker:

I need to Lodge A Complaint against.

Speaker:

Not doing your job title.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I'm getting get more specific.

Speaker:

Hold on.

Speaker:

My prime example is when I walk into my gym,

Speaker:

there

Speaker:

are people whose job description is greeter.

Speaker:

You know what?

Speaker:

They don't ever do greet you.

Speaker:

Wait.

Speaker:

I'm like, I am.

Speaker:

I'm not playing this up.

Speaker:

I am so angry.

Speaker:

I need to chill out.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

It makes me so angry because today in our electronic world,

Speaker:

they're not signing you in.

Speaker:

Mm. They're not looking at the computer monitor.

Speaker:

It's not even like a key chain anymore.

Speaker:

It's an app.

Speaker:

It just, I scan myself.

Speaker:

Sometimes they're typing on the computer, so I don't even, I

Speaker:

think the whole scanning is like.

Speaker:

A conspiracy anyway.

Speaker:

I don't think anyone's being,

Speaker:

when you are hired to work a front desk to greet people and you never say hello, what

Speaker:

are you doing with your life, your job?

Speaker:

I'm, I'm sorry.

Speaker:

I need to chill.

Speaker:

I'm, it makes me so angry because I'm not gonna say hi first.

Speaker:

I'm not doing your job for you.

Speaker:

I'm employed and I do things that I don't like.

Speaker:

I make money from things I didn't dream of as an 8-year-old.

Speaker:

So I can have sympathy for you that you probably did not dream as an 8-year-old

Speaker:

of working at the front desk at a gym, working as a concierge at a hotel,

Speaker:

working as a greeter at a restaurant.

Speaker:

Maybe that wasn't your dream, right?

Speaker:

But your job is.

Speaker:

Screening.

Speaker:

Why do you not say hello?

Speaker:

I'm not doing your job for you.

Speaker:

I'm not saying hello first.

Speaker:

The, if I were to make a tabulation of the amount of times I've said hello, when

Speaker:

I enter the gym that I've been going to for four and a half years, I've probably

Speaker:

said hello 20 times in the four years that I've gone because they don't say hello.

Speaker:

They are talking to themselves.

Speaker:

They're on their phone.

Speaker:

They're.

Speaker:

Hibbing over here with like the one Broy guy that is there every

Speaker:

day and they're friends with.

Speaker:

I recognize I am not a warm person at the gym.

Speaker:

I have a lot of trauma from being raised gay in the south, so I am

Speaker:

not trying to engage with anyone who presents as straight male.

Speaker:

Um, so I keep my head down.

Speaker:

I recognize I may not be putting off an energy of wanting to be

Speaker:

said hello to, but it's your job.

Speaker:

Your job is to say hello.

Speaker:

And my response is supposed to be, hi.

Speaker:

And then that's it.

Speaker:

That's all I Why are you a greeter and you don't greet?

Speaker:

That's my complaint.

Speaker:

It's your job description.

Speaker:

I'm not saying hi first.

Speaker:

It's your job.

Speaker:

You shouldn't be on your phone if you're being paid.

Speaker:

Period.

Speaker:

That's its own.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Sorry you guys.

Speaker:

I don't know why I'm so angry.

Speaker:

It makes me so angry.

Speaker:

I, I get it.

Speaker:

'cause it's like, what are you hired to like observe me walking

Speaker:

in the door and not say hello?

Speaker:

Like, why are you even there either?

Speaker:

Either we're gonna do this as a robot thing and I'm just gonna scan

Speaker:

myself in and there's not gonna be anybody looking at me in this moment.

Speaker:

Or if you're there looking at me in this moment, at least do your

Speaker:

job and say hello and make this a pleasant experience otherwise.

Speaker:

Go like Kibbitz in the back with your coworker, because I don't

Speaker:

need to be here looking at this.

Speaker:

I have a mission.

Speaker:

I have something to do.

Speaker:

Either help me stay on track with that mission or GTFO

Speaker:

and I will.

Speaker:

'cause I did inquire specifically, I'm like envisioning, but this

Speaker:

happens in other examples.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But I am envisioning my gem.

Speaker:

These people are paid a salary.

Speaker:

Like it's not like they're working the front desk to get a free membership.

Speaker:

Get a free

Speaker:

membership.

Speaker:

It is actually, but even if

Speaker:

they were, that's still like a barter.

Speaker:

Correct.

Speaker:

That's still what

Speaker:

you're signing up for.

Speaker:

But that's not the situation.

Speaker:

They're being paid to greet.

Speaker:

So,

Speaker:

and they don't have other jobs.

Speaker:

Like, not that I'm, it's maybe they, like if, if they're.

Speaker:

You know, signing up other people at the desk and they

Speaker:

have like a ton of things to do.

Speaker:

No, they're

Speaker:

not even the membership people.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

There are explicit membership people,

Speaker:

like their job, job is front desk reception, reading.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Get it together.

Speaker:

My dad obviously might, it's a dentist.

Speaker:

He has like receptionists.

Speaker:

If they didn't say something to the patients when they like walked into

Speaker:

the door like, Hey, so good to see you.

Speaker:

Okay, because what's really underneath this?

Speaker:

How old are your dad's receptionists?

Speaker:

Well, my dad's receptionists have been with him.

Speaker:

That's the end of the conversation for so many years.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So they're older.

Speaker:

That's the point.

Speaker:

I mean, even some younger ones, but he always complains about them.

Speaker:

But I think this culture,

Speaker:

yeah,

Speaker:

look, I'm not trying to have this Gen Z conversation.

Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

But I'm just saying when you have grown up like this.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Right, right.

Speaker:

You don't know how you don't engage with people.

Speaker:

That's

Speaker:

right.

Speaker:

And I think you're right.

Speaker:

I think that makes me very sad.

Speaker:

Yeah, that is sad.

Speaker:

And I'm someone, full disclosure, it's not just the gym.

Speaker:

Don't talk to me.

Speaker:

I don't want to talk to people.

Speaker:

I am a loner.

Speaker:

I'm an introvert.

Speaker:

I, well, that's

Speaker:

what I'm saying.

Speaker:

I think it's like the either or for you, like you'd be totally

Speaker:

fine if there was nobody there.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

But the fact that there is somebody there, it's like, well, at least

Speaker:

do what you're supposed to do.

Speaker:

If I need to interact with you in some, if I need to pick up on your

Speaker:

energy, at least give me something.

Speaker:

And I recognize it's a little, like just say hello, but I am sticking on this hill.

Speaker:

I'm not gonna do your job for you.

Speaker:

You have to say hello to me first.

Speaker:

That's what you're being paid to do, right?

Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

I'm not being paid to say hi.

Speaker:

You are.

Speaker:

I'm paying to say hi.

Speaker:

How does that work?

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

I pay a lot of money.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I shouldn't be paying to say hi.

Speaker:

Okay,

Speaker:

I get it.

Speaker:

I hear you.

Speaker:

Thank,

Speaker:

thank you for being with me with that.

Speaker:

It really bothers me.

Speaker:

I understand.

Speaker:

I think anytime anyone is, seems to be there for a specific purpose that

Speaker:

they're, that they're not fulfilling.

Speaker:

It's extremely frustrating.

Speaker:

A long time ago I complained about those people that stand

Speaker:

next to the parking things.

Speaker:

While I'm like trying to get my credit card in, there's literally someone

Speaker:

that's standing in like a booth whose only job it is to help me put my credit

Speaker:

card in if my arm is too short and can't reach, and sometimes they just

Speaker:

stand there and watch me struggle.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Frustrating.

Speaker:

You know, that's

Speaker:

your, that's your job.

Speaker:

So I hear you.

Speaker:

Add it to the ledger Trey.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

I mean, just say hi.

Speaker:

Just do it.

Speaker:

If your job description is, if your title is greeter, is greeter.

Speaker:

And you're not greeting.

Speaker:

What you doing babe?

Speaker:

What

Speaker:

are you doing?

Speaker:

What are you doing?

Speaker:

Good.

Speaker:

Good complaint.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Well, should we jump into an online review,

Speaker:

Chelsey?

Speaker:

Should we crystal it out?

Speaker:

I mean, I feel like let's clear the energy for somebody else to take the floor.

Speaker:

Should we?

Speaker:

Well, I don't have a crystal at the moment, but I do have this.

Speaker:

Oh, beautiful ring.

Speaker:

Ooh, that.

Speaker:

That counts.

Speaker:

Alright, well should we jump in

Speaker:

before we do?

Speaker:

This is my favorite part of the show.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Please just take a quick moment.

Speaker:

If you agree with my rage.

Speaker:

Click a little thumbs up.

Speaker:

If you disagree.

Speaker:

Do a thumbs up.

Speaker:

Write a comment about why you disagree.

Speaker:

Do you have experience being so angry at not being greeted?

Speaker:

Let us know in the comments below.

Speaker:

Hit subscribe so you never miss an update.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

Yeah, let us know what made you laugh.

Speaker:

Gas, say, oh no, you know, what do you want?

Speaker:

What do you want from us?

Speaker:

Let us know.

Speaker:

Put in the comments,

Speaker:

Review That.

Speaker:

Review

Speaker:

as your trustee.

Speaker:

Review Queens, we bring in internet reviews that we feel need to be inspected.

Speaker:

We read you a review.

Speaker:

We break it down, and then we rate the impact of that review on a

Speaker:

scale from zero to five crowns.

Speaker:

It's a very regal process that we call Assess That Kvetch and Chelsey.

Speaker:

It's a Chelsey episode.

Speaker:

What have you got for us?

Speaker:

All right, so full disclosure, I've been trying to get like more protein in.

Speaker:

This is my favorite protein shake.

Speaker:

It's core power.

Speaker:

Um, and I really enjoy it.

Speaker:

I'm, I'm doing my best.

Speaker:

I can't get enough protein in with just eating, so I'm trying to do

Speaker:

the protein shakes, and I'm always on the hunt for a new product.

Speaker:

Maybe I want a little dessert or something that also has protein,

Speaker:

like I love a dual function item.

Speaker:

And so I've been looking and I came across a lot these brownies

Speaker:

that are protein brownies, okay?

Speaker:

And they're kind of like all over the internet.

Speaker:

As soon as you start Googling that, you like proteins, you start seeing this,

Speaker:

this company called Prime Bites, okay?

Speaker:

And they make protein brownies.

Speaker:

And they have 19 grams of protein, which is like for a brownie, pretty excellent.

Speaker:

And they also have five grams of collagen and literally all over YouTube,

Speaker:

shorts, TikTok, Instagram, there's all these people of all ages being

Speaker:

like, oh my God, this is delicious.

Speaker:

So I was like, maybe I'm gonna order these.

Speaker:

But then I came across one review that had a different opinion, and

Speaker:

it was enough of a different opinion to make me decide not to order.

Speaker:

So I think it's worth bringing in today.

Speaker:

This is a TikTok review that was written by Mrs.

Speaker:

Which I think is not to be confused with Mr. Stink.

Speaker:

So it's definitely Misses Tank, and this is a one out of 10.

Speaker:

Review, so not very good.

Speaker:

This is to every influencer that said, these brownies were the best thing ever.

Speaker:

You owe me $50.

Speaker:

I have seen these hyped up on TikTok for so freaking long.

Speaker:

I finally caved in and bought them.

Speaker:

I paid like $43 for this box of like 12 brownies.

Speaker:

This was the one I was hyped up for, was the birthday cake.

Speaker:

I wanted to try it with my coworker.

Speaker:

We were both so excited to finally try it, broke it in half, took a bite,

Speaker:

immediately spit it in the trash can.

Speaker:

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Speaker:

Telling my husband about it, he was like, no, you're being dramatic.

Speaker:

Came home again.

Speaker:

We tried this cookie dough.

Speaker:

You ever have stinky, stinky trash and it just smells when you go in the house.

Speaker:

Take one of these brownies, set it in there for about five minutes.

Speaker:

That's what they taste like.

Speaker:

They literally taste like stinky trash.

Speaker:

I don't know who's in charge of the marketing and the PR for this company,

Speaker:

but you're doing a fantastic job.

Speaker:

'cause you played me probably thousands of other people as well.

Speaker:

I don't know how much money y'all are paying these influencers,

Speaker:

but you ain't paying me nothing.

Speaker:

Did I expect like a sweet brownie out of the oven?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

I mean I've lost like a hundred pounds over the last like a year.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I know a little bit about protein.

Speaker:

I'm gagging, just ugh.

Speaker:

They're not good.

Speaker:

Do not waste your money on this stick to like protein powder or something.

Speaker:

These are not it, dude.

Speaker:

I'm telling you.

Speaker:

They're absolutely horrendous.

Speaker:

If you're local to me and you wanna try one, meet me at Bucky's.

Speaker:

We'll have a taste test.

Speaker:

I have not swallowed any of this.

Speaker:

Like I took two bites of two different flavors.

Speaker:

Spit it out.

Speaker:

I tried y'all.

Speaker:

I really, really tried.

Speaker:

I mean, I drink like beet juice in the morning.

Speaker:

Like I can handle it.

Speaker:

This is not it.

Speaker:

Absolutely zero out of 10 from me.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

That was actually a zero outta 10 review.

Speaker:

I misspoke.

Speaker:

I said one out of 10.

Speaker:

It's actually zero out of 10 for Mrs.

Speaker:

Tank for these brownies.

Speaker:

So what do you think, Ry?

Speaker:

Well, that's the valuable part of it being a TikTok review, because

Speaker:

you can say zero, whereas you can't say that on Amazon or Google.

Speaker:

Uh, all right.

Speaker:

Well, I, first of all, I, first of all, the TW Mrs. Is clearly part of my kinfolk.

Speaker:

I. I, I'm not gonna venture to say it might be South Carolina, it

Speaker:

might be Louisiana, I'm not sure, but it's definitely my, my kinfolk.

Speaker:

I first of all want to acknowledge here.

Speaker:

Um, Mrs. Tink says that they spent $50 and then like a few

Speaker:

minutes later they say it was $43.

Speaker:

It.

Speaker:

Do you think the $7 difference is like an interest charge?

Speaker:

I mean, I think it might be like shipping.

Speaker:

Maybe we're just like rounding up because we just, we think we

Speaker:

deserve like a $7 trauma fee.

Speaker:

I don't know, but I feel like 43 50, I did notice it, but it didn't super bother me.

Speaker:

Also.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Go for it.

Speaker:

Well, question.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So Mrs. Tink makes the distinction that they didn't swallow.

Speaker:

Mm. Do you think that that changes anything?

Speaker:

Not in my opinion.

Speaker:

'cause I feel like once, it's like, once it's in the mouth, like if it's that

Speaker:

repulsive, like you can't even swallow it,

Speaker:

stinky trash, and

Speaker:

it, it tastes like it's been sitting in stinky trash.

Speaker:

That's enough.

Speaker:

I don't need you to swallow it for my account.

Speaker:

I mean, Mrs. Tank tried three different varieties of this.

Speaker:

The husband didn't believe her

Speaker:

question there.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

The husband's like, no, you're being dramatic.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I grabbed my pearls.

Speaker:

Excuse me, husband.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But then I like how they were like, okay, husband, try it and

Speaker:

then, then two of them are, I like that they invited us to Bucky's.

Speaker:

If we don't wanna spend the $50 on our own box, we can

Speaker:

have some of theirs at Bucky's,

Speaker:

help them complete the box.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

Um, also I think the packaging is really cute, which like, Mrs. Tank circles

Speaker:

back about like, who is the marketing?

Speaker:

'cause you've got Miguel.

Speaker:

Like yeah, brownies do look cute, which is unfortunate.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

mean, I do love that in a one star review when we have a little compliment

Speaker:

sandwich, I mean even if it was meant with a little bit of shade, they're

Speaker:

like, damn, like their marketing team is a plus plus because sold me.

Speaker:

Also, I want to acknowledge Mrs. I almost said Mrs. Bucky's.

Speaker:

Mrs. Tink talks about how they've lost a hundred pounds over the years.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Inspiring.

Speaker:

Congratulations.

Speaker:

I think that's adding to the value here for me, because they

Speaker:

end by saying, look, everyone I drink beet juice in the morning.

Speaker:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker:

Like I can handle disgusting and this, I'm not

Speaker:

a baby.

Speaker:

This is a whole nother level.

Speaker:

I wish I had written down all of the adjectives.

Speaker:

'cause Mrs.

Speaker:

Tink goes off in describing throughout this entire minute and a half review,

Speaker:

disgusting, horrendous, like nonverbal.

Speaker:

We've reached nonverbal to describe this.

Speaker:

Um, and I

Speaker:

kind the we tra or the stinky trash really.

Speaker:

And I've have you tasted things that, that taste like trash.

Speaker:

I know exactly what she's talking about.

Speaker:

I've experienced that.

Speaker:

Okay, well that brings, okay, so that is interesting to me because being

Speaker:

married to a vegan, I recognize that like anytime you're trying to make something,

Speaker:

emulate something that it clearly is not.

Speaker:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker:

It's gonna be a challenge.

Speaker:

So I value that Ms. Tin comes in hot by saying like, look, like maybe

Speaker:

you should stick to protein powder.

Speaker:

Like maybe this just, isn't it?

Speaker:

They have experience, they've lost weight, they're like getting on this journey.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

But they say like, I'm not expecting a warm brownie outta the oven.

Speaker:

So like, what are you like, it's hard for me because

Speaker:

is the protein gain worth the disgustingness?

Speaker:

Clearly not.

Speaker:

No, because that's the whole point of like why I went down this road to begin with.

Speaker:

Because I was like, I want.

Speaker:

To have, I am already drinking this protein shake that I like.

Speaker:

I wanna have something else that's a little bit of a sweet treat,

Speaker:

and I wanna get my protein too.

Speaker:

And this kind of company, these type of companies are advertising themselves

Speaker:

as have your cake and eat it too.

Speaker:

Have your cake and get a little protein.

Speaker:

And many people like me and Mrs. Tink are on the market looking for these things.

Speaker:

And like I said, there were so many reviews talking about how great this was.

Speaker:

Clearly it was all just influencer fluff and they taste like crap.

Speaker:

I don't need a crappy brownie.

Speaker:

No, thank you.

Speaker:

I'll have a regular brownie and a protein shake.

Speaker:

I don't need like a, I, I'll have less of the brownie, but I'll eat a good brownie.

Speaker:

I don't need to eat this like disgusting trash brownie for protein.

Speaker:

There are other ways of getting protein,

Speaker:

but like, should we, is there, is there a distinction here?

Speaker:

Like, is Mrs. Tinks taste palette going to be the same as mine?

Speaker:

Because like is this common?

Speaker:

Do you think people are like lying that it tastes good?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

I think it's one of those hard things where it's like you were saying with

Speaker:

David being a vegan, it's like if you just haven't had cheese in a really long

Speaker:

time and then you have some vegan cheese and you're like, oh my God, this is deli.

Speaker:

This happens with my boss all the time.

Speaker:

'cause she's vegan.

Speaker:

She's like, oh my God, this is so good.

Speaker:

Try this.

Speaker:

And then I try it and I'm like, this is disgusting.

Speaker:

You go.

Speaker:

So it's like, it could be that effect where it's just like, I

Speaker:

haven't had a brownie in so long.

Speaker:

But also I just, I feel like I trust Mrs. T's palette.

Speaker:

I trust the comment about the beet juice.

Speaker:

I trust that they've clearly been on this journey for a long time.

Speaker:

So I don't think this is the first protein product that they've tried, you know?

Speaker:

Maybe it is because they're talking about protein powder, but either way,

Speaker:

I, I trust them that they know how these kind of products are supposed to taste.

Speaker:

And I don't think that this is up to, up to snuff or whatever you wanna

Speaker:

say.

Speaker:

I mean, I think it's going into the truthful, shady for me, like I think it's

Speaker:

more truthful than it is shady because agree, like they're espousing so many

Speaker:

times that they're not an influencer and that they were duped by influencers.

Speaker:

Like, how much are you paying these influencers, dudes?

Speaker:

That, that I do feel like it's probably more common than not, because what

Speaker:

does Mrs. Tink have to gain by lying?

Speaker:

Like, it seems like it's so repulsive.

Speaker:

Um,

Speaker:

and they're already out.

Speaker:

They're like, you owe me $50.

Speaker:

Like being sort of like funny and shady.

Speaker:

But the reality is like they're already out this money.

Speaker:

They're just trying to be a good Samaritan and help us out and help me from wasting

Speaker:

$50, which I'm very happy that I didn't,

Speaker:

I. I also have to just mention the wind.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

In this review is very, very loud.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

I'm on Mrs. T's side.

Speaker:

I really like them.

Speaker:

But you are on a visual platform, TikTok.

Speaker:

Um, if, if the wind is louder than your voice, maybe we need a retake.

Speaker:

I do hear you.

Speaker:

I wanna play devil's advocate for a second only because I recently

Speaker:

had a conversation with a friend.

Speaker:

I was telling them that like sometimes Goldie will bark and we'll have to

Speaker:

stop recording and it's a whole thing.

Speaker:

And they were saying when they watch videos, they actually like it when they

Speaker:

hear like a dog bark or something that lets them know this is real life and

Speaker:

not produce like is comforting for them.

Speaker:

And I thought that was interesting.

Speaker:

That was something I hadn't thought of before.

Speaker:

So leave a comment and let us know your opinion on that situation.

Speaker:

But it definitely does highlight that Mrs. Tink is not an influencer.

Speaker:

They're just standing in their backyard recording their real life experience.

Speaker:

And I hear you like if you're sensitive to sound, maybe it will bother you.

Speaker:

But I wanna point out, I think it, in a weird way, it added to the

Speaker:

authenticity of the whole review.

Speaker:

All right, well that's interesting, right?

Speaker:

Because there's a distinction between like.

Speaker:

Well, but this isn't a video on an Amazon review.

Speaker:

This is actually a TikTok review,

Speaker:

I guess.

Speaker:

But I do feel like the world of TikTok reviews is casual for people that,

Speaker:

yeah, is this like casual, like I wanna connect with someone who is real.

Speaker:

I don't wanna connect with someone who is hyper produced.

Speaker:

The reason I'm so captivated by what I'm watching is because I

Speaker:

know that it's slice of life.

Speaker:

Fair.

Speaker:

I mean, I agree.

Speaker:

I think that's adding to the authenticity.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But like, but

Speaker:

I hear you.

Speaker:

It's still like annoying.

Speaker:

It's, it's worth mentioning,

Speaker:

girl, you're, you're recording a video for people to consume.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

I can't hear you because of the wind.

Speaker:

But at the same time, I, I can also understand and relate to the fact

Speaker:

that if Mrs. Tank didn't realize the wind was an issue and then they got

Speaker:

to the end of the entire recording where, where they record again.

Speaker:

Or,

Speaker:

or would they, where's the curtain?

Speaker:

That's a little peek behind the curtain, everyone.

Speaker:

Um, or would they just say, screw it?

Speaker:

Um, I'm just gonna post it.

Speaker:

Um, you know what I mean?

Speaker:

I know what you mean.

Speaker:

I don't know if the audience doesn't mean Chelsey and I are having a conversation

Speaker:

beat by beat based on memory from maybe having done this already before.

Speaker:

Oh my goodness.

Speaker:

I feel.

Speaker:

Impacted.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And I imagine that since we're here, you probably found this product because

Speaker:

you were looking for protein, bing.

Speaker:

Oh, a

Speaker:

hundred percent.

Speaker:

I think I said that at the top when I was introing the product,

Speaker:

like I, I was looking for protein products and I came across so many

Speaker:

reviews for this product that were.

Speaker:

Great.

Speaker:

And that we're really glowing and that we're saying like,

Speaker:

oh my God, this is so good.

Speaker:

I mean, I will say in hindsight, I felt like a lot of people were eating

Speaker:

the brownie and then doing this.

Speaker:

Like they would like take a bite of the brownie and then they would go,

Speaker:

Hmm, that's good.

Speaker:

So maybe they were like acting fak it, acting and acting and washing it down.

Speaker:

I didn't, it's interesting.

Speaker:

Um, because I get why they didn't do it, but Mrs. Tank didn't eat this live on the

Speaker:

air, so all we got was the recreation.

Speaker:

Whereas the other reviews that I saw that were positive, they

Speaker:

were actually eating them.

Speaker:

But now that I'm like thinking back in the recesses, in my mind I do think

Speaker:

that it was like, you know when you eat something and then you're like, Hmm, hmm.

Speaker:

Oh, that's good.

Speaker:

Hmm.

Speaker:

Like it was like a, maybe it was, there was a little bit of a delay and

Speaker:

it was really about the production.

Speaker:

Like this video stood out to me because it was less like, oh, here's the product.

Speaker:

Ooh.

Speaker:

So pretty, like we were saying the packaging, all the things.

Speaker:

So this was.

Speaker:

An anomaly in my search, but it was a strong enough

Speaker:

conviction to really sway me.

Speaker:

I feel weighed as well.

Speaker:

I feel like I don't need to try these brownies.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

I even though need though, I've never

Speaker:

met Mrs. Tank until this moment,

Speaker:

and just to point out like, that's a lot of money for brownies.

Speaker:

This is not cheap.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

This is a big investment and so I do think that Mrs. Tank is.

Speaker:

Is very impactful.

Speaker:

I think I can crown.

Speaker:

Okay, so Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

simultaneously reveal our braiding.

Speaker:

The Queens are Tabulating,

Speaker:

so

Speaker:

to school.

Speaker:

Okay, so I'm holding up five crowns and Trey's holding up five crowns.

Speaker:

Mrs. Tink, you are a double Review Queen Trey, you go first, let us know

Speaker:

why you made Mrs. Tink a Review Queen.

Speaker:

Okay?

Speaker:

So there's part of me that wants to take half a crown off because you

Speaker:

are, regardless of authenticity, your hair is blowing in the wind.

Speaker:

Like not.

Speaker:

You must have down, I didn't mean to call you a branch stink.

Speaker:

I'm actually on your side here.

Speaker:

I'm just saying.

Speaker:

It's a, it's a video that's being recorded.

Speaker:

Be aware that the wind is in your face and it's in the audio.

Speaker:

It doesn't, it doesn't matter.

Speaker:

It's not the big of a deal.

Speaker:

Everything else is very queenly to me because Mrs.

Speaker:

Tink doesn't have to share this opinion with us.

Speaker:

They do it in a way that is incredibly hilarious, informative,

Speaker:

funny, engaging, and impactful.

Speaker:

I mean, I am not gonna buy the brownies now, you know?

Speaker:

And I believe them.

Speaker:

And it's humorous and it's not super long.

Speaker:

Like they tick off all the boxes and yes, they're not Steven Spielberg.

Speaker:

They're not with Dreamworks.

Speaker:

Like they're doing it all with their hand.

Speaker:

So like if you don't catch the wind, whatever, um, Review Queen Chelsey.

Speaker:

Why did you say Review Queen?

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

mean, how can I not make Mrs. Tanker Review Queen?

Speaker:

They personally influenced me.

Speaker:

I know they say they're not an influencer, but Mrs.

Speaker:

Tank, you are an influencer.

Speaker:

I agree.

Speaker:

You influenced me.

Speaker:

So thank you for spending your hard earned $50 43 on 43 to $50 on with

Speaker:

shipping on this product because you saved me from spending that money.

Speaker:

You totally convinced me.

Speaker:

I totally believe you.

Speaker:

I love the compliment sandwich you stuck in there with, with giving

Speaker:

your, tipping your hat, so to speak, to the PR person and the team while

Speaker:

still letting us know it's a horrible product and I drink bee juice.

Speaker:

So I now, so everything that you demonstrated in this video made me

Speaker:

trust and believe your opinion, which I think is Queen Lay, and I had to make

Speaker:

you a Review Queen for that reason.

Speaker:

So thank you, Mrs. Tank,

Speaker:

and I will not be buying these brownies.

Speaker:

All right, well, queen, we've aired our grievances.

Speaker:

We've inspected a review thoroughly, so now.

Speaker:

Let's shine a light on something truly deserving of a crown.

Speaker:

We have reached the most regal portion of our show.

Speaker:

Trey, who are you inducting for?

Speaker:

My Royal Highness.

Speaker:

All right, so I'm gonna just show you, this is actually written down.

Speaker:

I have it here on my notes.

Speaker:

My Royal Highness.

Speaker:

Oh my goodness.

Speaker:

So fresh,

Speaker:

fresh baked cookies.

Speaker:

And Mrs. Tink was talking about the brownie outta the oven.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Irony all.

Speaker:

I want us to all go back to that time.

Speaker:

Well, this is what, this is what's, when I think of freshly baked cookies,

Speaker:

it's like a whole immersive 3D memory.

Speaker:

I think of myself being younger as a kid.

Speaker:

It's like Friday or Saturday night.

Speaker:

I don't have school tomorrow.

Speaker:

It's like we're watching SNCC or TGIF and it's like an event

Speaker:

and the aroma of the cookies.

Speaker:

Fills the kitchen.

Speaker:

Mm. You like check to see if it's done with a toothpick because it can't

Speaker:

be too burnt, but it can't be too.

Speaker:

I like them crispier.

Speaker:

Um, and then like scraping them off the cookie Trey and you have to

Speaker:

wait a few minutes so that you're not like breaking the cookie.

Speaker:

It has to like get a little solid.

Speaker:

And I love the, the, like the idea of like a small glass of like ice

Speaker:

cold milk and you like dip the.

Speaker:

Not super gooey, but it's like gooey 'cause it's out of the oven and

Speaker:

like the chocolate is s dripping.

Speaker:

Like it takes me back to like being a kid and being like, it's just like so like

Speaker:

pleasant and I don't know how, I don't know what other experiences there are.

Speaker:

It's like an event.

Speaker:

Its like, it's like doesn't require that much time or work,

Speaker:

but it's like fulfilling and fun.

Speaker:

It's like a warm, gooey cookie that you made from like the Pillsbury.

Speaker:

It's like, no one's making cookie dough.

Speaker:

At least not me.

Speaker:

Um, and I don't, I don't really do this anymore as an adult.

Speaker:

Like I don't make fresh baked cookies really anymore.

Speaker:

And there's something so lovely and charming about that.

Speaker:

So I want us all to be in that moment, even if we're currently

Speaker:

vegan and we don't eat egg, just the joy of like, we're baking cookies.

Speaker:

We are enjoying the cookies, the excitement, checking the, the

Speaker:

oven, like through the glass, like turning the light on.

Speaker:

It's like, oh my gosh, the cookies smells so good and then you eat

Speaker:

them and you're having a sleepover.

Speaker:

You're in your pajamas.

Speaker:

That whole energy, that whole experience of fresh baked cookies,

Speaker:

yes, is My Royal Highness.

Speaker:

I love that.

Speaker:

I love cookies.

Speaker:

I'm obsessed with cookies.

Speaker:

It's the perfect dessert.

Speaker:

It's the perfect.

Speaker:

Love it.

Speaker:

Love fresh baked cookies.

Speaker:

Great induction Trey.

Speaker:

Ooh, thank you.

Speaker:

Alright, well we did a queen.

Speaker:

The good, the bad, the repeat, the vecchi.

Speaker:

That's another round.

Speaker:

The windy on the R ru.

Speaker:

A RQ, Ferris whale love.

Speaker:

Steven, where are you?

Speaker:

Spielberg baby.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

Thank you for joining us today.

Speaker:

If you like what you heard, even the wind, please call a friend

Speaker:

and if you did not like what you heard, especially the wind tell an enemy.

Speaker:

Okay, this is funny.

Speaker:

Today, on this week's after show podcast, Chelsey and I are going

Speaker:

to be rating and reviewing this two star Amazon review four.

Speaker:

Schl farm world.

Speaker:

Two barrel rodeo racing play set, rodeo racing toy set with cowgirl

Speaker:

and horse realistic Western rodeo.

Speaker:

Farm animal toys and accessories.

Speaker:

Six piece kids toy for boys and girls.

Speaker:

Wow.

Speaker:

So with that mouthful of a title, I wonder why this was said because

Speaker:

at first I was like, oh grandma, you just bought the wrong one.

Speaker:

But now I'm like, maybe grandma really influenced them and they, or maybe

Speaker:

they got more complaints like, oh no, everybody knows it's three barrels.

Speaker:

Where

Speaker:

are you getting grandma from?

Speaker:

Didn't she say she bought it for her granddaughter?

Speaker:

The reviewer's name is Jason.

Speaker:

I wonder as well.

Speaker:

Well, as we are all wondering, please remember,

Speaker:

ignore the haters.

Speaker:

You are queen.

Speaker:

Gender nonspecific brownie eating queen.

Speaker:

That's right, but not these brownies, because these brownies are gross.

Speaker:

In reality, you guys, we recorded this entire episode and then realized that my

Speaker:

video stopped literally halfway through.

Speaker:

Chelsey's was double the length of mine.

Speaker:

Can't figure out why.

Speaker:

So we rerecorded from reviewing on and then it happened again.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So then when Boo got to the Royal Highness.

Speaker:

Peek behind the curtain.

Speaker:

That was our third take of this episode.

Speaker:

Something is up.

Speaker:

Is Mercury in retrograde?

Speaker:

What's happening?

Speaker:

I think it is.

Speaker:

Isn't it something?

Speaker:

I think it's a full moon.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

There's something.

Speaker:
