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 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: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.
