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 aChelseyyBD will help you choose who's views win, which.

Speaker:

Well, hello everyone.

Speaker:

Welcome back to part two of our deep dive into A versus comparison of the

Speaker:

Stanley Cup reviews on amazon.com.

Speaker:

Now, if you are just now joining us, go back to part one where we

Speaker:

covered the five star from the elusive one, and now we're gonna.

Speaker:

The one star review.

Speaker:

But before we do that, try, I think we've promised something else to our listeners,

Speaker:

like maybe a spin on the Meryl-Go-Round.

Speaker:

'I don't feel like an icon.

Speaker:

Most of the days, I feel like 'I can't!'.

Speaker:

That's with An, A'.

Speaker:

Here's the deal.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

and with 30 seconds on the clock.

Speaker:

We'll take turns trying to recite the zinger in as many genres as possible,

Speaker:

just like Queen Meryl Streep, who does it all before the clock runs out.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Chelsey, what you got?

Speaker:

Alright, so I kept in the Stanley theme.

Speaker:

I went over to Target and found their special Valentine's Day Stanley.

Speaker:

It's actually quite gorgeous.

Speaker:

It has some, uh, hearts on it.

Speaker:

There's a red and a pink option.

Speaker:

Very, very nice.

Speaker:

Um, this review is written by Eric.

Speaker:

It's a one star review.

Speaker:

Obviously the subject is, I never got it, and the review

Speaker:

is, I never got it when it came.

Speaker:

A target employee took it.

Speaker:

Okay?

Speaker:

Yep.

Speaker:

Well, I'm gonna strap you into a target shopping cart.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Alright, queen.

Speaker:

Are you ready?

Speaker:

I'm ready.

Speaker:

Three, Two, One, GO!.

Speaker:

Aura.

Speaker:

I never got it when I came.

Speaker:

Targeted boy, Southern.

Speaker:

I never got I, oh shit, I never got it.

Speaker:

I can't do it.

Speaker:

What happened?

Speaker:

This I game show it.

Speaker:

What's, I don't know what happened, guys.

Speaker:

Game show.

Speaker:

I never got it when

Speaker:

news.

Speaker:

I never got it when it came a.

Speaker:

In drama

Speaker:

and you it came, target, employee took it.

Speaker:

That's, I dunno what happened with my Southern accent and it just went away

Speaker:

for a second and I could do it now.

Speaker:

I have no problem doing it.

Speaker:

It's the pressure.

Speaker:

My brain just couldn't do it.

Speaker:

It's all good.

Speaker:

I never got

Speaker:

it when it came and Target employee took it.

Speaker:

Geez.

Speaker:

I dunno why that happens sometimes.

Speaker:

It's fine.

Speaker:

You got five?

Speaker:

Okay, I'll take it.

Speaker:

So I wanted to stay

Speaker:

icy cold.

Speaker:

Mm. So I have a One-Star-Zinger from Amazon for the um Wman ice cube tray

Speaker:

with lid and bin round ice trays for freezer with lid, uh, ice cube trays

Speaker:

for freezer with ice container 0.8 inch.

Speaker:

Two pack blue.

Speaker:

Oh my goodness.

Speaker:

It's super color.

Speaker:

This also was 10,000 plus bought in the past month.

Speaker:

Um, they're like $6.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

This review, the zinger is written by bs.

Speaker:

The, um, subject is.

Speaker:

CK the size da.

Speaker:

They are real small, so I think that's supposed to mean check the size.

Speaker:

Mm.

Speaker:

And their subject is POS, which I think stands for a piece of shit.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

I'm gonna strap you into the handle of, of a Stanley Cup 'cause it's

Speaker:

a nice, you can really hold on.

Speaker:

I think r You ready?

Speaker:

Yes, let's do it.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Three, Two,

Speaker:

One, GO!.

Speaker:

Stop.

Speaker:

Grandma

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

Grandma?

Speaker:

Grandma.

Speaker:

Grandma

Speaker:

os out

Speaker:

superhero.

Speaker:

Real world

Speaker:

Romcom

Speaker:

Os.

Speaker:

That was really good.

Speaker:

That's a callback to part one.

Speaker:

Everyone.

Speaker:

4, 5, 6, 8. Trey.

Speaker:

Very good.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

winner.

Speaker:

It was peaking and so I was like, what does she say?

Speaker:

I couldn't tell.

Speaker:

Oh.

Speaker:

I was like, grandma.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Alright.

Speaker:

That was a fun little like.

Speaker:

A buch.

Speaker:

Now let's get back into the drama.

Speaker:

I'm really ready 'cause I don't wanna spend $60 on a water bottle.

Speaker:

So let's do this one star.

Speaker:

Well, I did a little bit of a tease there with grandma because this

Speaker:

review is written by a grandma.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

Oh, okay.

Speaker:

So if you can trust anybody, I think you can trust grandma.

Speaker:

But let's see if you feel like you can trust this grandma Carol.

Speaker:

With an E at the end.

Speaker:

This is Carol the grandma's.

Speaker:

You'll find out one star review subject is,

Speaker:

does not hold up for an extremely expensive cup to hold your water.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

This was written recently, March of 2024, so within the year or so.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

I bought two Stanley Cups at the same time for my grand girls.

Speaker:

One is this one leaks because it leaks her teacher ass that she

Speaker:

not use it at school in her class.

Speaker:

This is what my 7-year-old wanted it for to show it.

Speaker:

I bought this cup not even two months ago, and it leaks being

Speaker:

it was bought two months ago.

Speaker:

They'll not replace it 35 and in two months it leaks.

Speaker:

That shows me the poor quality of these very expensive cups.

Speaker:

Stanley, you should be ashamed of yourself for not replacing this cup.

Speaker:

My grand girls were so surprised when these cups arrived at their home,

Speaker:

a special gift from their Grammy.

Speaker:

They can only take it to cheer and one can use it at school.

Speaker:

That how special they are to them

Speaker:

for that price.

Speaker:

It's a shame that this one leaks.

Speaker:

I myself bought one at Walmart six months ago for 9 99.

Speaker:

It does not leak.

Speaker:

It has hit the ground several times.

Speaker:

Tossed in my car.

Speaker:

So for 9 99, it is holding me up better than 35 0 0.

Speaker:

Stanley.

Speaker:

It also comes in many pretty colors.

Speaker:

Has a lid that can be used three different ways, and my grand

Speaker:

girls have designed it for me.

Speaker:

Being a Grammy, I don't need a $35 cup that leaks, but to a seven and

Speaker:

8-year-old, the Stanley, S-T-A-N-L-Y was very important to them just

Speaker:

to see the joy on their faces and the excitement and surprise to,

Speaker:

to get a package in their name.

Speaker:

When I had it delivered to their home, was well worth the

Speaker:

overpriced Stanley S-T-A-N-L-Y mug.

Speaker:

It just sucks.

Speaker:

One, can't bring it to school and can't be used as intended for my 7-year-old.

Speaker:

Is Carol a grandma?

Speaker:

I I, I'm not sure.

Speaker:

Wait, I, I don't know that I've ever in my life heard the phrase grand girls.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But my God, is that funny?

Speaker:

That's

Speaker:

cute, right?

Speaker:

My grand girls.

Speaker:

My grand girls, so I Where are you, where are you placing Carol?

Speaker:

In the continental United States.

Speaker:

I, I think I'm placing her like sort of south, but not like very south.

Speaker:

Like.

Speaker:

Yeah, I think that too, you

Speaker:

know, I don't know what that would be like.

Speaker:

Maybe like Tennessee.

Speaker:

But Tennessee can be twangy.

Speaker:

Oh, I feel like, I feel like Carol's probably like North Carolina.

Speaker:

North

Speaker:

Carolina.

Speaker:

Like Appalachian.

Speaker:

Appalachian.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Um,

Speaker:

Appalachian.

Speaker:

Ian.

Speaker:

Grammy.

Speaker:

Grammy.

Speaker:

That sounds southern to me.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Also like they're not northern and Jewish because they said it's a scandal

Speaker:

and they would've said a Shonda.

Speaker:

Shonda.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Um.

Speaker:

I missed at the beginning that it was $35.

Speaker:

So like at some point in the review it's just like 35.

Speaker:

It's exactly.

Speaker:

I was like, same.

Speaker:

When I first on the

Speaker:

review, I was like 35 wa.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Because I think of Stanley Cups as like 50 plus.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

So I'm like, oh, it was probably the little ones.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

You know, the point of view on this is so funny because I understand

Speaker:

that like the grandma is like, why do they want these cups?

Speaker:

They're like, it's so stupid.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Like what?

Speaker:

And they're so expensive.

Speaker:

Like I'll just get a fake one.

Speaker:

Call back to part one.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

Again.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

On get a 9 99 1.

Speaker:

Like that's all of mine.

Speaker:

Hello.

Speaker:

Cheers.

Speaker:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker:

Um, but it's very sweet that the Grammy did purchase them for the grand girls.

Speaker:

And then here we go.

Speaker:

You have one that is perfect, right?

Speaker:

And one that leaks.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And.

Speaker:

I, I got a little lost because Grammy Carol is like mad that Stanley

Speaker:

won't replace it after two months, which I guess like, yeah, sure.

Speaker:

But if you bought it on Amazon, then I'm sort of like, well then who?

Speaker:

I don't know the leaking, you don't want it to leak if you're spending

Speaker:

this much money, but yet again, if we look back at part one, they do sell

Speaker:

all of these accessories to sort of.

Speaker:

Refute that or stop that, but I don't want to pay 35 and it leak.

Speaker:

So I understand Grammy's point of view there,

Speaker:

Grammy, but I do also wonder where is it leaking?

Speaker:

Like is it leaking from the top or is it like leaking from the bottom or like.

Speaker:

I mean, I feel like it must not be leaking from the bottom if they can

Speaker:

still bring it to cheer practice.

Speaker:

Well, okay, so that was, what's the

Speaker:

problem with it leaking at school, and why is one of them leaking at

Speaker:

school and the other one's not?

Speaker:

Like, I don't know.

Speaker:

It sounds a little weird.

Speaker:

Well, in my mind, I feel like in cheer practice everyone is sweaty and like

Speaker:

it's more athletic and people are agile.

Speaker:

Like, so, like if it's sch or if there's a little puddle you're in, in the,

Speaker:

you're fine.

Speaker:

You're in the gym.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

But no, I know, it seems to me like, you know.

Speaker:

Things just get banned at school for no reason.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Remember like the spinners were banned and like That's right.

Speaker:

You know?

Speaker:

That's

Speaker:

right.

Speaker:

Like spaghetti straps were banned when I was a kid.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

So it's like, I'm sure the Stanley Cups are getting banned.

Speaker:

I love how the grandma

Speaker:

recognizes, like that was the whole point.

Speaker:

She wanted to show off, go off, you know, classmates and now she can't even do that.

Speaker:

What's the point of that?

Speaker:

That's the clarity and the privilege, uh, of being an A Grammy.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

Andy Williams used to talk about that all the time.

Speaker:

It's like once you reach 60, you can say whatever the fuck you want.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And the world has to just sit there and take it.

Speaker:

And Grammy is like, I'm calling bullshit.

Speaker:

I know that.

Speaker:

My little grand girls, yes.

Speaker:

They just wanna show off.

Speaker:

They wanna show off that they have it and they can't even do it.

Speaker:

I'm pissed certain off.

Speaker:

I'm still the grandma, so I'm gonna buy it for them, even

Speaker:

though I think it's ridiculous.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

And my 9 99 1 has three different lid options.

Speaker:

I mean, see, but even that detail is why this is pretty queenly because

Speaker:

it is a rant, but it's from such a specific point of view that it's

Speaker:

really valuable to me because, but then again, I just appreciate the details.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Even when it's a one star and you're like upset and you're disappointed in

Speaker:

the project, you're product, you're still saying like it has three different ways.

Speaker:

Like they're sort of selling the product in a way.

Speaker:

Um.

Speaker:

And mentioning like you can get a cheaper version.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

But

Speaker:

I mean, I do think there's a lot of value here.

Speaker:

I think that the spelling and grammar is really funny to me because we had

Speaker:

Stanley spelled right the whole time.

Speaker:

The for what?

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

that.

Speaker:

No, twice.

Speaker:

As soon as we started writing Stanley in, in caps, 'cause we were really getting

Speaker:

like Stanley, you know, like really getting, then we just, we took out the EE.

Speaker:

So that was the only real spelling error.

Speaker:

I think maybe there was one little tiny one other than that, but,

Speaker:

and I believe Carol.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Look, I, I don't think it's shady.

Speaker:

I think it's, I don't think it's shady

Speaker:

at all.

Speaker:

And I also think that I'm starting to get the idea of maybe it is

Speaker:

common in the sense that like we have a, now we have a test group of

Speaker:

three Stanleys between the first.

Speaker:

Review and the two that grandma bought.

Speaker:

And I sort of believe that like every, like one out of three or like

Speaker:

whatever, your one out of however many bottles that are probably

Speaker:

sold are gonna eventually leak.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So that, I mean, we're like so simpatico.

Speaker:

Yeah, because I was gonna say, what do you think statistically?

Speaker:

Like, is that just what you, we have to deal with like.

Speaker:

They vacuum sealed products Like is every now and then are you?

Speaker:

I mean, I would hope not,

Speaker:

but it's like who knows?

Speaker:

Like maybe I always think like maybe somebody returned it 'cause they realized

Speaker:

it leaked and then it gets set back out.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

Like there's gotta be something with the quality control is not a hundred percent.

Speaker:

It's so upsetting.

Speaker:

I know.

Speaker:

I mean, I just wish the granny had been able to figure this out before two months.

Speaker:

'cause I think that's the whole point is like it lasted two months.

Speaker:

It was like so expensive.

Speaker:

And two months was outside of the return window,

Speaker:

right?

Speaker:

I mean just the POV alone.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

And the self to declaring of being a grandma to grand girls.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Like it's very funny.

Speaker:

It's funny.

Speaker:

It's very entertaining.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

I instantly know Carol, but.

Speaker:

It is.

Speaker:

I don't know if it's a deal breaker for me, which I'll talk about in the Crown.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Anything else for you?

Speaker:

I can crown Carol.

Speaker:

Yeah, let's do it.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

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

Speaker:

simultaneously reveal our ratings.

Speaker:

The Queens are Tabulating.

Speaker:

Okay, the queens are unanimous.

Speaker:

Four and a half crowns.

Speaker:

Four and a half crowns tray.

Speaker:

You go first buy four and a half crowns for Granny Carol.

Speaker:

35. 35. I don't know, like this personally, just in my point of view,

Speaker:

would not stop me from buying it.

Speaker:

Like I kind of do want to buy one still,

Speaker:

but I find.

Speaker:

It has a cautionary tale, I believe Grammy Carol.

Speaker:

I don't think they're being shady.

Speaker:

I think they're genuinely frustrated that like one was

Speaker:

defective, the other one wasn't.

Speaker:

It's very expensive.

Speaker:

My, it's for my little grand girl.

Speaker:

She can't show off.

Speaker:

Like, it's frustrating.

Speaker:

I get it.

Speaker:

I believe it.

Speaker:

Um, it's strong, you know, the, the typos unfortunate.

Speaker:

Um.

Speaker:

But anytime you're a Grammy and you're leaving such detailed reviews,

Speaker:

like you just get props from me.

Speaker:

'cause like I don't understand TikTok.

Speaker:

So like, you know, this is a Grammy that's on Amazon leaving a really

Speaker:

solid review, four and a half.

Speaker:

Not totally review Queenie, but very close.

Speaker:

Why did you say four and a half?

Speaker:

I agree.

Speaker:

I have a very soft spot in my heart for Granny.

Speaker:

I just sort of like them.

Speaker:

I find them to be very genuine.

Speaker:

I can see other people, grandma's parents.

Speaker:

Uh, the ants getting in a similar situation with a younger kid,

Speaker:

and I just, I, I really connected with the narrative, so I loved it.

Speaker:

The only reason I took off a half Crown personally was I wish I had known a

Speaker:

little bit more about how it was leaking, because if it is just like a leaking

Speaker:

from the straw, then I can be like, oh, I'll just buy one of those stoppers.

Speaker:

Um, if it's like perspirating or something like that, then

Speaker:

that's a much bigger issue.

Speaker:

Wait, the stoppers totally just made me re think of the Crocs guy that we

Speaker:

like talked about how the, whoever was the CEO or president or whatever

Speaker:

of Crocs joined Stanley, but those stoppers look, look like those, they're

Speaker:

like the Gibbs, the Gbbt thingies.

Speaker:

They're very similar.

Speaker:

Oh God, you're

Speaker:

so right, Trey.

Speaker:

And that is such a brilliant marketing scheme because that's like a never ending

Speaker:

additional revenue genius.

Speaker:

Alright, well

Speaker:

here we are.

Speaker:

Yes, we have reached the end.

Speaker:

We have.

Speaker:

Looked at an insanely detailed five star and part one.

Speaker:

Go back and watch if you haven't.

Speaker:

Now we have deduced this five star IGI gave both four and a half.

Speaker:

You gave four to the five star and four and a half to the five.

Speaker:

So I've sort of already said I still want the Stanley like

Speaker:

yeah, I don't think kind of won though.

Speaker:

I think I still want it.

Speaker:

I don't think this, this one star.

Speaker:

Was really damning.

Speaker:

If anything, I think it really increased the brand awareness and how much

Speaker:

people love it and you wanna be able to show it off and be that person.

Speaker:

So I don't think it did a a ton of harm.

Speaker:

I think that if I bought the Stanley Cup, I would like put it through rigorous

Speaker:

testing within the return window to make sure that it wasn't gonna leak.

Speaker:

And I think I owe that to Granny and so I'm grateful that I read

Speaker:

that review, that one star review.

Speaker:

But I don't feel like it's a deal breaker.

Speaker:

No, I don't either.

Speaker:

I mean, Stanley comes

Speaker:

out on top.

Speaker:

Stanley comes out on top.

Speaker:

I mean, they really did.

Speaker:

I think the

Speaker:

4.7 overall sticks,

Speaker:

I think so.

Speaker:

90,000 reviews, so many reviews.

Speaker:

Um, also, I, I meant to say, but Chelsey shirt says Queen.

Speaker:

It doesn't say queer.

Speaker:

It's like the rainbow ness is throwing me off.

Speaker:

Um.

Speaker:

Queen, queen, queen, queen.

Speaker:

But it'd be great if it's a queer as well.

Speaker:

That'd be fine with me.

Speaker:

Um,

Speaker:

all right, well, do you have any, any last thoughts here?

Speaker:

Um, thirsty.

Speaker:

I think like I do, I'm thirsty and I feel like a little bit jealous

Speaker:

of people that I'm family, which is a little bit, I don't know why.

Speaker:

Oh my God.

Speaker:

Also they have these really gorgeous like shiny embossed limited edition

Speaker:

ones that are like $78 and they have like really beautiful detail.

Speaker:

Like I really want one.

Speaker:

I know

Speaker:

my niece has the one that has like the snack tray and my mom bought her the snack

Speaker:

tray that goes on top for her gymnastics.

Speaker:

That is

Speaker:

so funny.

Speaker:

You can literally

Speaker:

put a whole snack tray on top of it.

Speaker:

It's crazy.

Speaker:

They, they, they've thought of everything.

Speaker:

I just bought this, so Yeah.
