Everybody's got an opinion, every Californian and Virginian.

It's so hard to tell who to trust and who to ignore.

Someone's gotta settle the score.

Trey and Chelsey will help you choose.

Whose views win?

Which ones lose?

Online haters are coming for you.

Baby, it's time to review the review!

Hello!

Well, hello and welcome to Review That Review.

We are the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing Reviews!

That is Chelsey Donn.

And that is Trey Gerrald.

And us together are

The Review Queens.

That's right.

But first, Trey, I feel like it's been a while since I've seen you in real life.

You were sick.

You were going through the plague.

All the things were happening.

And I imagine you've been storing up some complaints for the winter, so,

would you like to Ledge a complaint.

Well, yes, I would.

Although I didn't even think about when I had the strap and the flu at the

same time, um, today I really need to lodge a complaint against people who

frequent a physical fitness gym, right?

And, um, Choose intentionally to take the closest parking spots.

Why?

Why is that a thing?

You are paying money to an establishment monthly.

Right.

To house a facility to make you do things you don't want to do to lift heavy

things to repeat the lifting of the heavy things to break sweat previous complaint

to live stream to all of your hands.

Um, why then is it imperative to you to park as close to the door as possible?

If the sole purpose is doing things that are good for your body, Increasing

your heart rate, uh, walking.

We, we, we pay to walk on an endless belt, going nowhere.

We're walking in place going nowhere, okay?

But in order to get to that belt that goes nowhere, where we're going

to walk for, what, half an hour.

I know people that walk for an hour.

We go up steps that go nowhere.

But we must park as close as possible because we can't get be inconvenienced

to walk a few steps further to the door.

What is that?

And It's a complaint because I want to park as close as possible and I can't park

as close as possible because everyone else is trying to park as close as possible

to go to the place for physical fitness.

Okay.

And, and taking aside that I live in a place that has a lot of snow and is cold.

So, because I can, I can understand that sensation where it's like,

I don't, I want to be as least uncomfortable as possible before I

go to the place to be uncomfortable.

But why is that a thing?

Why in our heads do we not think, let me park as far as possible.

I'll get a head start.

This will be an extra 30 seconds.

It's not the grocery store where I know I'm going to be schlepping

and pushing a cart, being responsible for returning the cart.

None of that exists.

No, no, none of that exists.

We're going to the gym for the physicality.

Why must we park close?

That's my complaint.

I hear you.

It's an interesting complaint.

I mean, I like that you owned up to the fact that you're a part of the problem.

I think that's an important element of the complaint.

I'm not even

part of it because I can't even get them because everyone gets them before me.

But you also have the same desire.

I have to say, I've been there and my excuse was that at the

time that I was going to the gym, I was going for a certain class

that started at a certain time.

Like I have this class and it starts exactly at six and I'm like running to get

there after work and I'm in such a rush because I have to make it to this class

because they close the door after like 10 minutes or five minutes or whatever it is.

I gotta park close in that scenario,

leave earlier.

I couldn't, I was coming straight from work.

You can say, beep, beep, I'm in the HOV lane.

Beep, beep, I got this dummy in the backseat.

There's a whole carpool going.

I mean, we have to get there safely.

But anyway, the point is, I think that some people get like frantic

when they're going to a certain class.

And it's like, oh my god, I gotta get there.

I have to find my spot.

If I don't get there early, then I'm not gonna get my spot, like, you know.

People are.

So I think that that could play a part in it.

But I hear you.

There is hypocrisy there.

And I'm sorry that you're the one that has to walk past everybody else.

Yeah.

Keying every damn car as I go.

You're about to.

Oh my God.

All right.

Well, I feel a little better.

Yes.

Um, hopefully anyone watching or listening, you, you've,

you can experience that.

If you have experienced that, you can commiserate with me.

Let us know in the comments.

Yes, I hear you try.

I've added it to the ledger.

Thank you.

Let's all just walk.

Why are we paying to walk on a belt?

I mean, I, I don't understand that anyway.

Like I feel like if you're going to walk, walk outside because what?

I don't get it.

Um, I avoid the stairs everywhere and then it's like, I'm

expected to do a stair master.

I don't think so.

I have someone who fell for the Peloton.

Oh yes.

Having used it in years.

You hang clothes on it, right?

Don't bring this up to my husband, . Let's, let's move on quickly.

Yes,

let's, okay, let's

stage the space.

Shall we jump into an online review?

Chelsey, I'd love to hear what you brought in.

Yes, let's do it.

Okay.

But before we do, you guys we're just gonna ask, we're gonna keep asking

because you know it's very free it, you're already here, so can we just

You can just say, I hate parking far at the gym.

Let us know what's making you laugh, what's making you gasp,

what is making you cringe the most.

Yeah, and plus, like, part of the thing about being on YouTube is being

able to communicate with you guys and read your comments and engage and

this isn't a one way street, baby.

This is about you, too.

I mean, I know that you have things to vetch about, okay?

1 850 REVIEW ZERO.

You want to kvetch?

You have a complaint that you want to just write in the comment, write it down.

Maybe we'll address it in a future episode.

This is your opportunity to interact with us.

Yes.

Hello.

We'll give you a second.

Okay.

You could have done something there.

I'm going to keep saying it sometimes people need to be addressed in the moment.

I know for me, if I'm watching something and I say, Oh, I'll subscribe later.

I'm not going to do it.

So I just wanted to give you an opportunity.

Subscribe.

There you go.

It's right here.

Like literally just click it.

Here you go.

I clicked it

and here I'm going to do it too.

Or maybe,

you know, clickety clickety click.

All right.

I

think we ran this into the ground.

Okay.

Why don't we jump into that review you brought in, babe?

Let's do it.

Review that review.

As you know, we are your trusty review queens.

We bring in reviews from the internet that we feel Need to be inspected.

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

on a scale from zero to five crowns.

We also have half crowns.

It's a really regal process that we call Assess That Kvetch.

And Chelsey, what are we doing today?

Let me know.

Yes.

Well, first, I have to take two seconds just to acknowledge

this beautiful background.

If you're watching on YouTube that you get to see this is the debut episode of this.

Gorgeous background.

Okay.

So enjoy it.

If you're, if you're following us on Instagram, you've already seen it.

Um, but I thought the time of year, Trey, when we just need a little vacay, even

if it's just like a weekend, well, vacay.

So I thought, let me look into Palm Springs.

I like to go to Palm Springs.

It's close by, tends to be a little bit warmer there.

I was like, let's see what's going on.

I want to stay at someplace new.

Okay.

So I ended up on Google reviews.

And I found a hotel called Triada, Palm Springs Autograph Collection.

Oh, Autograph.

Yeah, Triada is spelled T R I A D A. And it's a four star hotel.

And it has 4.

2 out of 5 stars, which as you know is sort of on the fence there.

Like, I was like, I won't not stay at a 4.

2.

So I thought, let me look at the reviews and see what we have going on here, okay?

And I found this review by Carrie C. It's a two out of five stars on Google Reviews.

Here we go.

We've stayed here six times.

Wow.

It's not a cookie cutter hotel at all.

It's really different.

We've stayed in the queen suite four times.

Our last stay, however, will be our last visit.

The staff here repeatedly lied about something.

And I just can't get past that.

I've overlooked many negative details at this place because of its charm.

But now, after the lies, I'm done.

I will never stay here again.

Well, this reminds me of a previous episode about dangling a carrot.

That's right.

And, um, I was hoping we would get into it.

But to reference, I wrote it.

Lied about something.

Oh my god.

Lied.

And then later after these lies, okay, you've gone to the effort to go to Google

Reviews to spill the tea and you're going to get that close like you're, you're

on the edge of the branch and you're not going to jump like what, what Carrie see.

What, what's, what is your purpose?

Why did you spend the amount of time to say that you stayed here six times and

that you stayed in the Queen's suite four of those times to not stick the landing?

It's very frustrating.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Trey.

It's such a waste.

I mean, it's a waste.

It's a waste of time and energy.

It's such a waste.

And it's also just like, it's, it's.

To me, when I first read it, it was hilarious because I'm like, because

of the lie, like they repeatedly lied to like an Agatha Christie.

Like what?

Like, honestly, I wanted to take a moment with you to just imagine just

for a moment just to dig into our psyche and try and pull out what you imagine.

Try.

What's the lie?

Well, I'm, that's, okay, that's a good question.

You watch

Pretty Little Liars and Pretty, what, what's the lie try?

So many lies on that show.

So many

lies.

You know, what could one lie about maybe if you like wanted an upgrade and

they're like, oh, there's not available.

And then you realize there's like no one in the hotel room or lied about something,

the rates or the pool hours that tends to be very popular in the reviews.

Maybe, like, uh, uh, maybe they wanted more towels and they were told they

couldn't get more towels or, um, maybe they said that the room had been cleaned

and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned.

Maybe they said that they were going to give them like all

caffeinated coffee and no decaf.

Maybe they said that because they were valued guests, they

wouldn't charge them for like the drinks that are in the fridge.

I mean, this is the problem with this review is that we could, we could

continue to hypothesize forever.

I think that's something interesting.

Like,

I think that what would make me that mad, like, if they told me that I'm a whatever

member and so I don't have to pay for valet and then I went to check out and

I was charged for like a week of valet and I'd stayed there like six other times

and they never charged me for valet.

I've never, it's preposterous.

And now they're like refusing to take that off the bill.

I mean, we could do this for hours.

So as this review itself stands, any valuable new or unique information,

I do appreciate that they come out with their expertness because

they've stayed there many times.

They have an authority from experience.

So I appreciate that.

I was, I was excited.

I was like rubbing my hands cause I was like, let's get into it.

Spelling grammar for what they went into is fine.

Fine.

Truthful shady.

I think it's shady.

I just think it's shady.

Like.

Say it, you know, because like we could have talked about this for hours

and now maybe we're assigning all these scenarios That are incorrect.

So like it's shady.

Just say it

also It seems shady to me because I wonder if they're being manipulative

by not going into it, right?

That's what I'm saying because they don't want To piss the hotel off.

They want the hotel to see and then communicate with Keri Sea and,

and, and be like, well, I didn't want to air the dirty laundry.

So give me four nights for free.

Or what, like something feels even more shady about not.

Going into it, um, common, typical, I don't, I don't

expect to be lied to by a hotel.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's common or typical because I don't

feel like we have enough context.

Unfortunately.

Also, it's a two

star.

It's a two star.

It's a two star because you've stayed there six times and you've

stayed in this one suite four times.

You know, because we do this so often, you were saying like it was funny.

It's not even funny to me anymore.

It's like kind of, it's kind of enraging to me to get to do this because it's,

it's just, it's a waste of energy and it's a waste of time on all parties.

But I'm entertained because it's like half of the story.

Would this have an impact or a deal breaking?

No, I'm mad at Carrie.

I'm not mad.

No, this didn't

make this, I ended up getting a better price somewhere else.

And so I didn't stay at this hotel, but I would have stayed

here based off of this review.

There's nothing that Carrie said that made me feel like, and if

anything, it was like, oh, it's quirky and it's not cookie cutter.

And the screen suite is great.

Like there was more information that was positive than negative.

Right.

So it wouldn't make the impact is I would still stay here.

You're mad.

I'm angry at Carrie.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, I think you should take that rage and put it into your crowning

all right, so let's Rate and review this as as it stands Chelsey and I

each have our own set of zero to five crown cards in an effort to be fair

and not influence one another We will simultaneously Reveal our rating.

Okay The queens are tabulating.

Time

for school.

Okay,

interesting.

Trey's holding up one crown, I'm holding up two crowns.

Trey, you go first.

Why one crown for Carrie C?

Besides that you hate her.

It's just, it is alerting a red flag.

So like, there's that.

But, to say that they lied about something and like, now you'll never

say it because of the lies, is sort of like okay, well what are the lies?

Like, it's just an incomplete sentence.

So that's frustrating to me one crown because I feel like it would

at least it's like alerting me that maybe they're dishonest And I

appreciate that they've stayed there.

So like, you know, but ultimately I'm frustrated.

So why did you do an extra crown?

Why'd you say two crowns?

There was a lot of information in here.

I kind of felt like I was like volleying a little both carry I'm

like you want to give two crowns.

I'm gonna give you two crowns back like You gave two crowns worth of

information and you were, you lost three crowns worth of credibility

when you didn't indulge in the lies.

Do it or don't do it.

The, the like teetering the line is very frustrating and just not review Queenie.

So two crowns.

Harry C.

Don't do it little girl.

Don't

do it.

Tell us the lies.

Tell us the dirty little lies.

There's not a reply.

You're kidding.

No.

Are you kidding?

No.

Oh my god.

I'm even more angry.

This whole time I'm like winking at you, like, all right, let's get there.

Are you kidding?

I'm so mad.

Now I'm mad at the hotel for not replying.

I

know.

Oh my God, I'm so mad.

To be fair,

when I like checked this review recently, and it was only written three months

ago, so there is, I can check back.

It could take a while to reply, you think?

Like it could take a few months?

What is Autograph Collection?

Isn't that like a Hilton or a Hyatt or?

I think it's like one of the hotel groups.

Cause that makes me think that there is a corporate entity that's

probably in charge of going through.

But like if you're a corporate entity and you're not hands on in the building, you

wouldn't know what this is referencing.

Um, oh I'm so angry.

There might be a reply, I'll check back in another episode and maybe an after

show and I hope that they'll, they'll take the opportunity to, to, to win back.

I'm so mad.

Sorry, I, I hit that sound cue without the lead up because I was

like, I need this, this, I was

like, I had a feeling too.

I was like, Trey thinks that there's a reply, so he's

rushing through this review.

But that was it.

That was literally it.

Um, I just thought it was a good example of what not to do, guys.

This is, it's like, it's kind of textbook.

It's like if Trey and I. are your professors today.

Here's what not to do in a review.

People ask us all the time, review queens, what should I not do?

What, what, like, if you had to give me a tip.

I would say don't start with if I could give this zero stars.

Yeah, never.

It's so annoying.

You know, the reason, and just to break it down one more little step

here, the reason it's important to spill the tea is because it may not

be equally as important to me reading the review as it is to you writing it.

Give me all of the information so that I can interpolate what's important.

Did I use that word wrong?

Interpret.

What's interpolate mean?

I

don't think that's a word.

Oh.

I'm from South Carolina.

Just because they may have lied about the snack machine or something

and like, and I'm not going to use a snack machine, so I don't care.

Even the guy that complained about the pool of several episodes back,

there was a guy on the show and he thought, assumed that there was a pool

at this location of a hotel in San Francisco, and he was livid about it.

But at least he gave us the information so we know that there's no ghoul there.

Right.

What did we learn here today?

Class?

Nothing.

Nothing about Triada.

All right.

Well, that was fun.

Enraging.

I love

infuriating Trey, um, and in an effort to regroup Trey, do

you want to take this moment To induct someone as royal highness.

I think we've reached the most regal portion of our show and it's time

Yes

okay, so I I don't even know how I originally found this Instagram account

But it's something that I followed probably years ago and it's at puppy

songs Chelsey, do you know this account?

I don't think, are they dog songs for puppies?

Yes, good deducing.

Good, um, what did I say?

What's the word I made up?

Inter Good interpolating.

Interpolating.

Interpolations.

Okay, at Puppy Songs, you may have heard, because they're little

soundbites that sort of go viral on TikTok and on Instagram, this creator

had sad face, two senior chihuahuas.

One passed away and the other one just recently passed away as well.

But, they would make these really funny videos of like, the little like

dogs, like just like, being dogs.

And one very famous is, My lips get stuck on my teeth.

My lips get stuck on my teeth.

And it's just like a video of like this old, like, black

and grey chihuahua like this.

That's so funny.

And then other ones it's like, I puppied all day long.

But he's like an actual jingle writer.

Yeah.

And has since created a Spotify account so you can hear like the songs on loop.

They're all so cute.

I get lost because they're earwormy, so they're very catchy.

The dogs are like hilarious looking older senior dogs, you know.

I have chihuahuas, so I have an affinity for that look.

Um, but I appreciate the humor.

And then the creativity and the skill like it's a beautiful

marriage of all of those things.

So I implore everyone go and follow at puppy songs on TikTok on Instagram.

Um, it, it is very, it is very heartwarming.

And, um, then you just like start singing them at your dogs and

they're like, give me a tree.

So for that reason, I must induct, induct at Puppy Songs as my royal highness today.

Share some

laughs for her.

Okay.

I'm going to have to, I wrote that down for myself.

I'm going to have to check that out.

You're

going to love.

You're going to steal all those songs.

Okay.

Great.

Yes.

I

really should now.

I know the, the tea.

Okay.

There we go.

Very funny.

Love that.

Well, we did a Queens.

That's another round on the RUA.

What?

I can't finish it.

I can't.

I can't finish.

I can't reach the distance like Carrie.

I'll start to tell

RQ Ferris wheel.

You can't even call it an RQ Ferris wheel because There was no

RQs to be found in this episode.

I've done almost 200 of these episodes, but that's all I'm going to tell you.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Well, thank you for joining us today.

I hope that you haven't seen as many reviews that are like, this

is Trey and maybe you thought that this was funny or entertaining.

I hope so.

Um, thank you for joining us and if you liked what you saw

or heard, please tell a friend.

If you did not like what you heard or saw, please tell an enemy.

Okay.

And tell us about the after show.

All right.

Now on today's after show pod, Chelsey and I, we are going to be digging deep.

We're going to go all the way to Scotland.

Okay.

What's a famous site in Scotland out of curiosity?

Like, what would you think?

I don't know these things.

Is it like

a castle or

something?

No.

Okay.

Chelsey and I are going to be rating and reviewing a one star trip

advisor review for the Loch Ness.

I was gonna say Loch Ness, but I didn't really know what it was,

but I'm excited to find out.

I wonder why this was said.

I'm fuming!

I'm livid!

Vicariousy!

Give me my bagpipes, I'm livid and I'm fuming!

Where's my toe, my toe wiggling?

Oh my god.

I wonder too, Trey.

Yeah, but in the meantime, please remember.

Ignore the haters, you're a queen!

Gender non specific queen.

Of course.

Give us a koal now.

Have you ever been to Scotland?

No, me either.

I have a really funny story.

I wonder if I've told this before.

Um, you know, I'm married to a Jewish person and my mom like had never been

north of the Mason Dixon line until she came to New York to visit me.

And so we were like, you know, in the back of a cab talking about funny things.

And My, my, my husband was like, Peggy, my mom's name, have

you ever heard of lox before?

Meaning like lox, like onions and eggs, lox and bagels, like a Jewish delicacy.

It's like a salmon, right?

And my mom goes.

Yeah, of course, Loch Ness Monster.

And we repeat that very often, so as I found this review for

the Loch Ness I thought, yeah of course, Loch Ness Monster.

That's what I

thought too, that's why I didn't say anything earlier, that's

so funny, I can't wait to learn what the Loch Ness actually is.

And we're gonna get an actual review today.

Okay, great.

On the after show.

Are you so mad at me?

I'm not mad at you at all.

I'm mad.

I'm, I'm disappointed.

I'm sorry.

Not in you, in Carrie.

I'm disappointed in Carrie too.

It's funnier that there was no ending.

That's actually very funny.

Right.

Like I really pushed the, the sound cue cause I was like, I gotta, I

gotta know what they're lying about.

Cause you also said these things we came up with aren't real.

Or you said something that was like alluding to the fact that

you knew what the lie was about.

But you didn't know.

I didn't know, but I'm just saying, like, there was no real information there.

There was not, like, you know, like, it's just

You know what?

What?

You know what Carrie is short for?

What?

I just realized.

What?

Carrie is short for

You're right.

Sorry,

Carrie.

Alright, bye.

Bye, Queens.

Defend yourself, if you want.

Yeah, why don't you defend yourself when you write the

review the first time, Carrie?

Bye, Queens.

Bye.
