Hundred episodes.

Okay, so Trey is wearing our Queen of Hearts Card, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know if you guys remember the photo of Trey and 'I standing next

Chelsey Donn:

What he's wearing, his costume

Trey Gerrald:

Your version of this costume was like crumbly and made in the

Chelsey Donn:

'I was gonna say, 'I was gonna say, my 'I think my version of the Queen

Chelsey Donn:

But you look lovely and yeah, 'I can't believe it.

Chelsey Donn:

A' A' hundred episodes.

Chelsey Donn:

I'll never forget that first photo shoot in the basement of your house when this was still

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean it is crazy.

Trey Gerrald:

Also, the photo that we're talking about in question is on our homepage,

Trey Gerrald:

It's the image you see, it's A' little, um, challenging to sit in this costume.

Trey Gerrald:

Um, it like keeps

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, it does.

Chelsey Donn:

It's like the shoulders are riding up A' little bit around the neck.

Trey Gerrald:

But yes, this is our 100th episode of the podcast.

Trey Gerrald:

How Insane and Crazy Today is gonna be A' very special edition of our show.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I was thinking, why don't we kick off this 100th episode with A' really amazing rapid fire

Trey Gerrald:

And this is specifically questions that you should ask on A' work anniversary three.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Trey Gerrald:

So it's basically, these are just 10 random questions that will help us navigate

Trey Gerrald:

So some of these weren't really like particular, so 'I just tried

Trey Gerrald:

So first of all, first, first question, number one.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

What is your favorite work Memory.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my god.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so, so many funny work memories of this podcast, but 'I think that

Chelsey Donn:

Kind of my first is the time when we were recording and at the

Chelsey Donn:

Gerrald.

Chelsey Donn:

And then 'I just like started hysterically laughing cuz 'I Don't know why 'I said that.

Chelsey Donn:

And then 'I think my second was Bow.

Chelsey Donn:

Wow.

Chelsey Donn:

Just like all of the laughs in general, like just the times when like we mess up or we do something

Chelsey Donn:

Laughing for A' long time.

Chelsey Donn:

That's my favorite

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I was gonna 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like bow Wow was up there as well.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think my favorite memory.

Trey Gerrald:

It might actually be when we like announced on social media and like 'I just got such an

Trey Gerrald:

But people were really interested 'I think because of the post 'I made about how it's something I've

Chelsey Donn:

So personal?

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

that people were really rooting for me.

Trey Gerrald:

That was A' really great memory.

Trey Gerrald:

For

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

Trey, what is your favorite part of this job that we have?

Trey Gerrald:

That's A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Good question.

Trey Gerrald:

'I think my favorite part is we don't have to like sit around and wait for people to give

Trey Gerrald:

That's probably my favorite part.

Trey Gerrald:

What about you

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just love the creative control and like being able to create something that is

Chelsey Donn:

Think that's like the best thing about the podcast format is that like we do it

Chelsey Donn:

But regardless, like here we are and as you know, in the industry that we work in, Trey

Chelsey Donn:

But we're always constantly waiting on somebody to give us permission

Chelsey Donn:

And this is A' way that we get to engage with one another and an audience on our own terms.

Chelsey Donn:

And it's, it's really rewarding.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

It's interesting we have the same answer.

Chelsey Donn:

Well, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

has changed the most since you started doing the podcast?

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

that is A'.

Chelsey Donn:

You know, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think that 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think before 'I did the podcast, 'I used to be like really afraid.

Chelsey Donn:

Just speaking candidly, 'I guess In A' public forum, like 'I never thought that

Chelsey Donn:

But like, we share things about our life and especially in the after show, you

Chelsey Donn:

Fear of showing up as authentically myself.

Chelsey Donn:

'I think that was one of the reasons why 'I loved being an actor, was the idea of

Chelsey Donn:

Think when 'I first thought about doing the podcast, even though I've done standup

Chelsey Donn:

And now 'I think it's like the thing 'I love the most about it.

Chelsey Donn:

And sometimes 'I say stupid things and sometimes 'I listen back to an episode.

Chelsey Donn:

And I'm like, 'I use the wrong word, or whatever it is.

Chelsey Donn:

But you know what, it makes us all more human.

Chelsey Donn:

And um, 'I, 'I really have A' different perspective on that.

Chelsey Donn:

So 'I think that's probably what's changed the most for me.

Chelsey Donn:

How about for you?

Trey Gerrald:

It's so crazy cuz 'I feel like it's similar.

Trey Gerrald:

Like, well two things, A' different answer is 'I Think I'm much more aware

Trey Gerrald:

Because I'm editing the show, so I'm very much aware of when I'm like

Trey Gerrald:

But very much 'I my first response.

Trey Gerrald:

What has changed the most for me is very much my opinion, like being okay with sharing my

Trey Gerrald:

That has really had A' positive impact on me outside of the podcast and just sort

Chelsey Donn:

Right.

Trey Gerrald:

and not feeling like 'I will get in trouble if 'I do that, or

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, that's been really nice.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so this is an interesting question.

Chelsey Donn:

What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

Trey Gerrald:

'I would say sticking with it.

Chelsey Donn:

Ditto.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean are we just always gonna have the same answer?

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Never really 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Did 'I think 'I was intentional when we like started about doing it one week at A' time.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I don't think that 'I really foresaw 100 episodes.

Trey Gerrald:

Not because of any specifics.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think 'I just wasn't sure what my life would be or that it was even Stick Withable.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think I'm just, I'm proud of the fact that this is one of those projects that 'I really enjoy

Chelsey Donn:

You know, cause I'm A' A' writer and I've done, I've written web series, you've been A' web

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I always wanna talk about our show.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I find that 'I have great conversations with all different kinds of people,

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of the things that we discuss on our show, and it's like the easiest thing to describe.

Chelsey Donn:

It's such A' breath of fresh air when you're talking to someone and

Chelsey Donn:

And to have something that is like so universal and so easy to describe

Chelsey Donn:

And to be able to be A', part of that 'I think feels.

Chelsey Donn:

Really good, and I'm really proud about that.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I 'I don't always like to talk about what I'm doing, but 'I find that 'I can

Chelsey Donn:

That's like what 'I always tell everyone.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm just like so proud of us.

Chelsey Donn:

We're just like the two little engines that could 'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of people don't understand one, how much work goes into creating A' podcast

Chelsey Donn:

So, you know, I'm really proud of that.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I, that's like what 'I love about it too.

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

What surprised you the most about this job?

Chelsey Donn:

Hmm.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think like going back to kind of what 'I just said, just how much work it is.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I 'I, 'I had A', lot of friends that had podcasts prior to this and 'I 'I was A'

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I think 'I was just like, that's cool.

Chelsey Donn:

That's like A' cool little thing that you do.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I think 'I was really surprised when 'I realized how much work and how much dedication

Chelsey Donn:

And just, there's so many elements that 'I never would've imagined when we started this

Chelsey Donn:

Um, because 'I 'I learned so much.

Chelsey Donn:

How about you?

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

Workload for sure.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I actually talked about this A' couple of episodes back.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't remember when, but 'I think the most surprising thing about

Trey Gerrald:

'I literally do not remember what we talked about.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Don't rem like it.

Trey Gerrald:

And that is like so interesting to think about on like A' life scale.

Trey Gerrald:

Like how much conversation do 'I, just forget all of the minutiae about

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean.

Trey Gerrald:

It's really fascinating

Chelsey Donn:

It's fascinating when other people like repeat things back to

Chelsey Donn:

And I'm like, wait, 'I said what?

Chelsey Donn:

What did 'I say?

Chelsey Donn:

Or, but yeah, that is, that's so true.

Chelsey Donn:

That's so true.

Chelsey Donn:

All right.

Chelsey Donn:

What advice, Trey would you give to A' podcaster on their first day?

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, it's funny because it, it just, full disclosure, ChelseyBD

Trey Gerrald:

And so we have, it's funny that this is happening, this recording is happening as

Trey Gerrald:

But the advice that 'I would give now is like literally advice 'I gave to

Trey Gerrald:

'I was like, don't be worried about getting it right.

Trey Gerrald:

Like that concern and that is something 'I would say often was like, don't let the possibility die

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I think like so much has come, like A' episode 98

Trey Gerrald:

And we wouldn't have gotten the quirkiness, the fun, the like ideas, the context

Chelsey Donn:

A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Hundred percent.

Trey Gerrald:

which like is so like we get that like it's so easy to get that.

Trey Gerrald:

But to live through that 'I think has been A' challenge and.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

So that's really the advice 'I would give and that's 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember Chris, we delcon, like, he was also saying like, just do it.

Trey Gerrald:

Like, just make it and you'll figure it out as you go.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I think that there really is truth in that.

Trey Gerrald:

Like that is the advice 'I would give is like, just play it.

Trey Gerrald:

Just play it out and, and don't worry about getting it right.

Trey Gerrald:

What advice would you give to A' podcaster on day one?

Chelsey Donn:

'I would say 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think A' an advice that that you and 'I gave each other.

Chelsey Donn:

That is something that 'I always try to go back to, which is that we do this for fun

Chelsey Donn:

And it's an exercise in committing to something and not really getting like so distracted.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I will say that I've been so pleasantly surprised by our numbers and how many people

Chelsey Donn:

But almost like the downfall that comes with that is that now that you're like,

Chelsey Donn:

And how can we have even more so that we can be getting to this next place?

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I think it's really important that 'I keep reminding myself like.

Chelsey Donn:

It's just the two of us and we're doing so amazing in everything that we're creating.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I don't need to compare myself to anybody else that 'I really need to stay in this lane

Chelsey Donn:

And that is really what people 'I think are resonating with.

Chelsey Donn:

So the more you can not get more down by all of the minutia of like, yeah, but how many downloads

Chelsey Donn:

And really stay in your own lane.

Chelsey Donn:

'I think the happier you'll be throughout the process.

Chelsey Donn:

And the, and then the side effect of that 'I think is that people read that, you know,

Trey Gerrald:

Right?

Trey Gerrald:

All of that is almost like secondary to like what actually is going on,

Chelsey Donn:

exactly.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, yeah,

Trey Gerrald:

A' whole other episode, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Well, speaking of

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

your favorite episode,

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

'I still have like A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Well, oh God.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

There's two 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Say for my, my review, my favorite was the ball.

Chelsey Donn:

Like that was just so fun.

Chelsey Donn:

The inflatable ball still remains the, my favorite.

Chelsey Donn:

'I believe of my reviews, but honestly, 'I think my favorite overall, which shouldn't

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean those were literally the two.

Trey Gerrald:

'I was gonna say, I'm trying how?

Trey Gerrald:

What else do 'I?

Trey Gerrald:

'I also 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think my favorite verses was DJ Spino,

Chelsey Donn:

DJ Spin Fell, which was like our first verses that was A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Good one.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean it.

Trey Gerrald:

That might kind of be mine as well.

Trey Gerrald:

'I for whatever.

Trey Gerrald:

Santino is so special.

Chelsey Donn:

It was nice when we did my favorite Murder because it was like kind

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember OkCupid?

Trey Gerrald:

That was like an intense episode too.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I loved, like having our guests, like when we had Natalie and

Chelsey Donn:

And we have A', uh, un aired one with David, which we'll maybe share at some point.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, these are A' few of my favorite things.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

So what, what's the silliest work mistake you ever made?

Chelsey Donn:

'I feel like 'I already answered this, but what, what was yours?

Trey Gerrald:

Um, well, what comes to mind as when 'I made up the cookie Monster

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I didn't.

Chelsey Donn:

'I didn't, yes.

Chelsey Donn:

And you.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, it's not A' mistake,

Chelsey Donn:

Oh, oh yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

But you were just like, I'm trying this new thing.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I was like, okay.

Chelsey Donn:

That was really funny.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Why?

Trey Gerrald:

What about you?

Chelsey Donn:

Mine was definitely when 'I was like, and 'I am Trey Gerrald, like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just don't know why 'I said that.

Chelsey Donn:

'I just thought 'I was you for A' second.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I like legitimately was reading the script and 'I was like, 'I am Trey Gerrald.

Chelsey Donn:

We have it recorded because 'I wanna say we put it on our Instagram

Trey Gerrald:

'I

Chelsey Donn:

as A' video.

Chelsey Donn:

And so it's still, if you go to the reels tab you'll see it there.

Chelsey Donn:

But that was definitely A' silly mistake.

Trey Gerrald:

Oh wait.

Trey Gerrald:

'I just remembered.

Trey Gerrald:

Another like favorite episode was the poop in the pool.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

Where we got to be like detectives and, and really like, that was A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Good reply From, from owner, whatever.

Trey Gerrald:

All right, so these are our final questions.

Trey Gerrald:

So what do you see for the future of the show?

Chelsey Donn:

Well, 'I mean, should 'I tease what we've been working on or should 'I not, or.

Trey Gerrald:

go ahead.

Chelsey Donn:

so something that has come up A' lot A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of people have been asking me if they could watch us on YouTube, and that was not something

Chelsey Donn:

And now that it's literally come up so much like it, it comes up almost, I'd say every

Chelsey Donn:

Trey and 'I are going to start releasing full, unedited, uh, episodes of our podcast on YouTube.

Chelsey Donn:

So we're gonna be A' little bit behind real time.

Chelsey Donn:

So if you're joining Patreon, you're still gonna get full access to the brand new like,

Chelsey Donn:

So 'I see that as being the future and, and 'I still really think that Yelp 'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I feel like it's Yelp needs to hire the review.

Chelsey Donn:

Queens, come on.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't you think we would be so cute in our little like bee costumes in the top corner of

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah, 'I really liked that badge idea.

Trey Gerrald:

It's like this has been vetted or not

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Hit us up.

Chelsey Donn:

You neither review Queens to vet your reviews, so that would be great.

Chelsey Donn:

How about you?

Trey Gerrald:

Well, definitely like the presence on YouTube, A',

Trey Gerrald:

So that's in the works.

Trey Gerrald:

And also 'I, like finding new ways to expand the world of Review, That,

Trey Gerrald:

And it's like these are the things that just keep showing up.

Trey Gerrald:

So it's exciting to be presented with what is next, you know?

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I would love to do.

Chelsey Donn:

A' live show.

Chelsey Donn:

A', little A' little tour.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so finally, Trey, what would you like to accomplish in the coming year?

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Mean 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like it's kind of similar to the last question, but like, I'm always

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

also, like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Love that.

Trey Gerrald:

We recently had A' A' review from Indeed.

Trey Gerrald:

Trey Gerrald:

Or not always funny, but like interesting content.

Trey Gerrald:

More diverse content.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

What

Chelsey Donn:

'I would love to have more guests on the shelf, but we do have like

Chelsey Donn:

So it would be like, it would be great, uh, if we could have A' few more guests in this next year.

Trey Gerrald:

That's right.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I would also love to hear from you guys.

Chelsey Donn:

Trey Gerrald:

Review.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm not gonna lie.

Chelsey Donn:

A' A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Little nervous.

Chelsey Donn:

It's gonna get meta up in here.

Chelsey Donn:

Consider this like A' DVD bonus feature.

Chelsey Donn:

We're gonna list to episode one and have A' running commentary.

Chelsey Donn:

It's like the director's commentary edition.

Trey Gerrald:

That's right.

Trey Gerrald:

And we'll pause if we need to, if we like, feel like we need to really dig deep as

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

We'll also Assess the covets of episode one.

Chelsey Donn:

See if our ratings have changed over the past 99 episodes before ultimately rating

Trey Gerrald:

So we recorded episode one on June 12th, 2021.

Trey Gerrald:

We had been doing some dress rehearsals, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think we did four or five dress rehearsals, maybe,

Chelsey Donn:

think three.

Chelsey Donn:

And then like the fourth one was, ended up being episode two or three.

Chelsey Donn:

'I Think,

Trey Gerrald:

right?

Trey Gerrald:

Something like that.

Trey Gerrald:

So we sort of, kind of had figured out what the basic structure was, but 'I have not

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I went live.

Chelsey Donn:

'I Wanna say on my birthday, cuz 'I think it was June 22nd.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

So we debuted with our first three episodes on June 23rd, 2021.

Chelsey Donn:

my birthday.

Chelsey Donn:

It's so crazy.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Real 'I Also 'I have not listened to this episode since it first aired.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I and 'I played it in my car.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I remember sort of like biting my nails being like, oh, is it gonna be okay?

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I think it was, but um, maybe I'll think differently now that we're A' hundred

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

Let's go.

Trey Gerrald:

So we're gonna actually, you'll see on Patreon or on YouTube in several months.

Think the year was 2017, is that right?

VOICEOVER:

As my memory serves, yeah, it was the summer 'I believe of 2017.

Yeah, we met because 'I was spending A' little time in Los Angeles and our mutual

VOICEOVER:

She was like, you have to meet my friend Chelsey Donn.

VOICEOVER:

You're gonna be obsessed with her.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I had heard tell about this really funny person that went to school with her.

And anyway, so 'I met you and you know, that can go one of two ways.

VOICEOVER:

True.

Like we kept in touch and now here we are.

VOICEOVER:

Gosh, that's now it's 2021.

VOICEOVER:

And you called me right back and here we are today.

VOICEOVER:

It was an honor.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Uh, so A' little quick notes here.

VOICEOVER:

So we started pitching and brainstorming and coming up with, um, ideas and

VOICEOVER:

Our first conversation was in March, and, uh, we have spent the last couple of months really

VOICEOVER:

And it's, it's been maybe,

Chelsey Donn:

except they will.

VOICEOVER:

there'll be bonus content on our patron.

VOICEOVER:

Could be.

VOICEOVER:

But it's been really fun.

VOICEOVER:

It's been such A', interesting, fun, uh, creative outlet, especially, you know, we

VOICEOVER:

And, uh, this has been like A' really fun experience working with you.

VOICEOVER:

And so 'I hope that all of the listeners equally enjoy diving into

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Guess what?

Trey Gerrald:

I'm just wondering like why did 'I think strangers would care about any of that?

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just remember you saying that you wanted people to know who we were and what our relationship was.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I feel like that's fair because A', lot of the feedback that I've gotten about

Chelsey Donn:

And it's like hanging out with A' couple friends and 'I think it gives it context.

Trey Gerrald:

yes.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't remember what 'I edited out and stuff, so this is also like we're just

Chelsey Donn:

Oh, that is true.

Chelsey Donn:

'I think.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Now that I'm thinking back on this 'I, think 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember listening to it and then giving you editing notes and we like cut it down even

Trey Gerrald:

yeah, it feels A' little long to me, but that's just me being critical.

Chelsey Donn:

is A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Little long, but, but this again is the unedited version.

Chelsey Donn:

And this is like, really, this was what we were doing.

Chelsey Donn:

'I remember being very afraid during the part where 'I needed to like intro myself.

Chelsey Donn:

Cuz that wasn't scripted.

Chelsey Donn:

That was just like, and now ChelseyBD and Trey are gonna talk about themselves.

Chelsey Donn:

A' little bit.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I remember being very nervous.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I 'I think 'I 'I played it

Trey Gerrald:

we were both so nervous.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, it's cute.

Trey Gerrald:

All right, here we go.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Feel like we should get into it, right?

VOICEOVER:

'I?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, let's do it 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER:

So, oh wait, 'I, do want to quickly ask, are you someone who partakes in online reviews?

VOICEOVER:

Are you A' person that is in this world already?

VOICEOVER:

'I am an avid reader of online reviews.

VOICEOVER:

'I wouldn't say I'm as much of A' writer, but 'I read all the time.

VOICEOVER:

I'm constantly dissecting reviews.

VOICEOVER:

'I do this for friends when they get like, they're like, oh, I'm afraid to buy this product.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I really will go through it and say like, is this A' deal breaker?

Chelsey Donn:

Still true.

VOICEOVER:

I've been that person for A' long time and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I generally have A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good sense of people.

VOICEOVER:

And when we're like, you know, just sort of kvetching because.

VOICEOVER:

Or sorry, complaining because we feel like we wanna hear our own voice and when we're

VOICEOVER:

So 'I can say, I'm passionate about reviews and I've written A' few in my day.

VOICEOVER:

How about you?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I, 'I, um, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I 'I have written one review in my life on delivery.com.

VOICEOVER:

And after A' horrible experience.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I got so paranoid that 'I actually like completely changed my entire username

VOICEOVER:

So I'm not, I'm not A' person that frequents Yelp or all of those situations, but 'I,

VOICEOVER:

So I'm excited to, um, I'm gonna find that review that you wrote.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Wonder if it's still there.

VOICEOVER:

You know, 'I wanna see if there's, if there's retribution to be had.

VOICEOVER:

A'.

VOICEOVER:

A'.

VOICEOVER:

right, well, I'm glad that we, um, are here.

VOICEOVER:

I'm glad that the listeners are here and 'I feel like we are more

VOICEOVER:

So here we are, episode one of Review, That, Review.

Chelsey Donn:

Crazy

VOICEOVER:

Here we are.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean.

VOICEOVER:

How was your week?

VOICEOVER:

Tried, did anything exciting happen this week for you?

VOICEOVER:

You know, 'I had, um, A' very really great week.

VOICEOVER:

It's been 'I Don't even know what to talk about for my week.

Trey Gerrald:

That's still true for me.

VOICEOVER:

we just not do weeks?

VOICEOVER:

We cannot do weeks 'I mean.

Chelsey Donn:

we've pretty much already talked about,

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, let's 'I, let's just jump into complaining.

VOICEOVER:

Is that cool?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, right.

VOICEOVER:

I'm about it.

VOICEOVER:

'I, because 'I just want to go ahead and get to the meet so that they

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I can intro 'I think 'I

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean it's interesting that like 'I

Trey Gerrald:

am,

Chelsey Donn:

honest moment.

VOICEOVER:

go.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm like responding to that in real time.

Trey Gerrald:

So I'm glad to see that 'I was feeling it in the moment,

VOICEOVER:

maybe we

Chelsey Donn:

Same.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I still, like 'I, still think the hardest part of the

Trey Gerrald:

Don't know why that's so hard for me.

Trey Gerrald:

All right, so we're nine minutes into this recording of the episode and we're

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

If 'I was making A' podcast 'I, think 'I would come up with A'.

VOICEOVER:

Really cute phrase for that.

VOICEOVER:

And it would maybe be the first segment called Lodge.

VOICEOVER:

A.

VOICEOVER:

Complaint.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

I'm so glad you had that queued up.

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

Do you have A' Complaint to Lodge?

VOICEOVER:

Trey?

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

'I absolutely have A' Complaint to Lodge and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Thought long and hard about what should be My very first for the episode.

VOICEOVER:

For this first episode, and I'm gonna be controversial.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, no.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

But with A' Heart of Bravery, and I'm gonna go after this Complaint

Trey Gerrald:

Oh, 'I,

VOICEOVER:

the NBC Competition.

VOICEOVER:

Show the voice.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Forgot about that.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

The voice.

VOICEOVER:

Can you, okay.

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, can you name A' single winner from The Voice?

VOICEOVER:

Oh, no.

VOICEOVER:

I've watched some episodes.

VOICEOVER:

Probably not to be honest, but my parents are avid voice watchers, so

VOICEOVER:

Winner of American Idol.

VOICEOVER:

Kelly Clarkson.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

There you go.

VOICEOVER:

Stuttered.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, this is what has occurred to me.

VOICEOVER:

'I was never in that reality competition watching, cuz 'I went, was in A' boarding school.

VOICEOVER:

We didn't have cable, but uh, my husband is obsessed with American Idol and always has been.

VOICEOVER:

And so I've seen it and 'I have seen the evolution of that program where it

VOICEOVER:

And then it started to turn into about the judges and then you get like the likes

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

So then in that platform we start to create A' show called The Voice, where it's literally

VOICEOVER:

Great idea.

VOICEOVER:

But we're on season 'I, don't know, 2,800 and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Like 'I, don't know A' single person who wins.

VOICEOVER:

It's the same as like The Bachelor, like as soon as it ends, then they have one of

VOICEOVER:

Right?

VOICEOVER:

So it's like 'I, just 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like we need to put an end to these entertainment reality competition shows that

VOICEOVER:

But then is that like unfair to expect that this re like competition show

VOICEOVER:

Like don't you have to put, you know, 'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

The music industry has nothing 'I know anything about it just really bugs me that this reality

VOICEOVER:

They also like 'I think have multiple seasons in A' year.

VOICEOVER:

Like it's not just one 'I think we're maybe like oversaturating the market,

VOICEOVER:

These are like entertainment shows.

VOICEOVER:

'I think that's why it is about the judges.

VOICEOVER:

And so to me it's sort of like obnoxious that it's this whole ruse that it's

VOICEOVER:

You just win the voice.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, so, all right, so they're not trying to find America's Next like Superstar 'I.

VOICEOVER:

I'm sure they get some sort of A' record deal and who knows 'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

But that's my Complaint.

VOICEOVER:

I'm just, it's it 'I.

VOICEOVER:

It bothers me.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I think there could be some reflection about why it bothers me, but maybe because

VOICEOVER:

And that is my real Complaint 'I think it's A' worthy.

Trey Gerrald:

Pretty long-winded.

Trey Gerrald:

Complaint.

Chelsey Donn:

was A' lot.

Chelsey Donn:

And also we were still really digging.

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't really know exactly what we would be complaining about long term, but

Chelsey Donn:

I'm also noticing like 'I clearly cared way more about the way that 'I looked during episode one

Trey Gerrald:

What do you mean

Chelsey Donn:

recordings, well, 'I like 'I, my hair is like freshly blown out 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I maybe have A' little bit of makeup on.

Chelsey Donn:

'I just feel like in general, 'I 'I like was more like calculated.

Chelsey Donn:

Now 'I feel much more carefree in

Trey Gerrald:

'I hear that.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I also think you like, it's like it was like A' new thing.

Trey Gerrald:

You were like showing up A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Hundred percent, you know?

Chelsey Donn:

Right, right,

Trey Gerrald:

'I also still 100% stand behind not liking the voice.

Trey Gerrald:

'I still 100% would Lodge that

Chelsey Donn:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

Fair.

Trey Gerrald:

hear yours.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm curious,

Chelsey Donn:

Good to hear.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Me too.

Chelsey Donn:

What did 'I say?

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, do you have any Complaint?

VOICEOVER:

You wanna Lodge?

Chelsey Donn:

Remember what 'I said?

VOICEOVER:

'I?

VOICEOVER:

Do 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I wanna make

Chelsey Donn:

pause.

Chelsey Donn:

Can 'I guess?

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I complained about Newton and like Newton's law and everything

Chelsey Donn:

But

Trey Gerrald:

that Murphy

Chelsey Donn:

I'm not A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Yep.

Chelsey Donn:

Murphy.

Chelsey Donn:

That's what 'I meant.

Chelsey Donn:

Wait, but maybe it was Newton.

Chelsey Donn:

What was Newton's law?

Trey Gerrald:

Isn't Newton gravity

Chelsey Donn:

Oh yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Everything that's up must go

Trey Gerrald:

down?

Trey Gerrald:

Right.

Trey Gerrald:

Okay, so we think it, it's Murphy Newton

Chelsey Donn:

Think it's Murphy 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think it's Murphy Newton

Trey Gerrald:

Let's see.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't remember.

VOICEOVER:

First of all, A', general Complaint against like Murphy's Law and

Trey Gerrald:

You were right.

VOICEOVER:

is, that he's such A' pessimist that like anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

VOICEOVER:

And at like the most inopportune time, it's been like getting really hot in A' lately.

VOICEOVER:

And it's great 'I love it.

VOICEOVER:

Except this was the time that my air conditioner decided like, mm, let's just not work anymore.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I wanna blame Murphy.

VOICEOVER:

What do you think Murphy's last name was?

VOICEOVER:

'I thought Murphy was the last name.

VOICEOVER:

Oh yes.

VOICEOVER:

Like Newton, like Newton's law.

Trey Gerrald:

Newton.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

So what do you think Murphy's first name was?

Chelsey Donn:

There you go.

VOICEOVER:

Probably something like very old and like, like A' Sigmund, but not Sigmund.

VOICEOVER:

Cuz that's taken by Freud.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I think like something that's like, oh wow.

VOICEOVER:

Like 'I haven't heard that name in A' long time would be my guess.

VOICEOVER:

Edwin.

VOICEOVER:

Like Edwin?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Edwin.

VOICEOVER:

With

Trey Gerrald:

all

VOICEOVER:

middle name.

VOICEOVER:

You know Murphy 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

But why, why such A' pessimist.

VOICEOVER:

Why can't it be like everything that can go right will go right.

Trey Gerrald:

Mm

VOICEOVER:

You know, 'I feel like that's very Buddhist of you.

VOICEOVER:

Thank you 'I mean.

Trey Gerrald:

wait.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I just had A' memory.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember early on feeling intimidated by your comedy brain because 'I remember thinking

Trey Gerrald:

Tracking of like jokes in your complaints that like made me feel like, oh, I'm

Chelsey Donn:

that's funny.

Chelsey Donn:

'I did not plan anything.

Chelsey Donn:

'I did write, all 'I had written down on A' piece of paper was, was Murphy

Trey Gerrald:

well 'I think that is who you are.

Trey Gerrald:

Innately like 'I think like your brain thinks through things.

Trey Gerrald:

Obviously 'I in A' different way than me, but 'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Just remember being very aware of like, oh, she's so quick 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Just remember that.

Chelsey Donn:

Thank you.

Chelsey Donn:

Thanks

VOICEOVER:

Anyway, lodging, A', Complaint against Murphy and like the bad 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Don't know juju that he puts out and how it affects me personally, like

VOICEOVER:

It's A' good.

VOICEOVER:

Complaint.

VOICEOVER:

I'm gonna be really thinking about 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Edwin Murphy for A' while now, as you should.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

All right.

VOICEOVER:

'I, feel like I've heard enough about us?

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

And our complaints.

VOICEOVER:

Maybe we should hear some other people's complaints.

VOICEOVER:

What do you think 'I?

VOICEOVER:

Love it.

VOICEOVER:

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

As you're A' trustee review, Queens, Trey and 'I will each bring in A' new review from the

VOICEOVER:

We will read the review.

VOICEOVER:

We will break it down, and then we rate the impact of the review on A' scale from one to

VOICEOVER:

It's true, it's A', very regal process that we've created with leading scientists and

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, my dear.

VOICEOVER:

For those of us who don't speak Yiddish, what does that word mean?

Trey Gerrald:

Oh my God.

VOICEOVER:

means complaints.

VOICEOVER:

Oh.

VOICEOVER:

Like what we were just doing, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Correct.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, great.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Awesome.

VOICEOVER:

All right, well, which one of us is going first today?

VOICEOVER:

'I don't.

VOICEOVER:

I'm first.

VOICEOVER:

You're first.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Well take it away.

VOICEOVER:

Review.

VOICEOVER:

Queen.

VOICEOVER:

Let's hear it.

VOICEOVER:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

Oh my God.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my god.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, don't remember what you brought in.

Chelsey Donn:

Do you remember what you brought in?

VOICEOVER:

A' while ago, and I've been sitting on it.

Trey Gerrald:

Hmm.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember

VOICEOVER:

The very first review on Review, That, Review,

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my goodness.

VOICEOVER:

Review, That Review.

Chelsey Donn:

It's crazy how much the script says say the same, but sound different cuz we're

Trey Gerrald:

'I know

Chelsey Donn:

more comfortable.

VOICEOVER:

'I have

Trey Gerrald:

was thinking of that too.

VOICEOVER:

the website Good Reads.

VOICEOVER:

There's A' very active community on Good reads,

Trey Gerrald:

is Shanice, right?

Chelsey Donn:

This is Shanice.

Chelsey Donn:

That was A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Good episode.

Chelsey Donn:

'I like Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

written by Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

And, um, this is A', one star for the book.

VOICEOVER:

50 Shades of Gray.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Ha ha, ha ha.

VOICEOVER:

No.

VOICEOVER:

You're serious.

VOICEOVER:

This is A', New York Times number one best seller.

VOICEOVER:

Why?

VOICEOVER:

Why are people

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

VOICEOVER:

claiming how good it is?

VOICEOVER:

How much they quote unquote loved it?

VOICEOVER:

Have you never read A' decent piece of literature in your life?

VOICEOVER:

Not to say this is literature, but come on.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

I'm abusing italics.

VOICEOVER:

'I was excited to read this book because 'I like A', little Romance and erotica.

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

Every now and then, but 'I didn't expect this.

VOICEOVER:

This wasn't erotic, nor was it romantic.

VOICEOVER:

When Anna first meets Christian, it's more than obvious that this is A' fanfic of twilight.

VOICEOVER:

Anna's clumsy constantly.

VOICEOVER:

Excuse me.

VOICEOVER:

'I just choked to myself.

VOICEOVER:

I'm gonna go back.

Trey Gerrald:

Nervous.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

When A' first meets Christian, it's more than obvious that this is A' fanfic of twilight.

VOICEOVER:

Anna's clumsy.

VOICEOVER:

Continuously bites.

VOICEOVER:

Her lip doesn't understand why A' guy, any guy would be attracted to her and

Trey Gerrald:

Hmm.

VOICEOVER:

was A' moment in the book where 'I put it down and laughed.

VOICEOVER:

A' good, hardy laugh.

VOICEOVER:

I'm not exactly sure where it was.

VOICEOVER:

The whole thing is purely comedic.

VOICEOVER:

'I wasn't going to continue reading it, but 'I kind of wanted to know how it ended.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I basically skimmed through 'I, mainly read their emails.

VOICEOVER:

Though idiotic were still cute.

VOICEOVER:

The actual writing in this book was poor at best.

VOICEOVER:

The repeating of sentences, phrases, thoughts over and over and over again.

VOICEOVER:

'I believe she mentioned her subconscious about 80 times.

VOICEOVER:

Parenthesis.

VOICEOVER:

This is not an exaggeration, but fact and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I wanted nothing more than for her subconscious to shut the hell up.

VOICEOVER:

And her inner goddess parentheses mentioned about 60 times question mark.

VOICEOVER:

Ha haha.

VOICEOVER:

What?

VOICEOVER:

A' slut.

Chelsey Donn:

What is

VOICEOVER:

B D S M.

VOICEOVER:

I'm not one who is A' fan of this.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't want be controlled and 'I don't want to control someone.

VOICEOVER:

So that whole aspect was bad enough in and of itself.

VOICEOVER:

And the fact that she was actually scared that if she did something wrong, he'd

VOICEOVER:

A' difference between love and obsession.

VOICEOVER:

For anyone who wants to read A' Romance or even erotica, you can buy A' $3 or A' $4 book

VOICEOVER:

Why the fuck would you want to pay anything more than A' Penny for this book?

VOICEOVER:

Seriously, all caps.

VOICEOVER:

Why do people like this?

VOICEOVER:

Christian was nowhere near sexy to me.

VOICEOVER:

No matter who 'I tried to picture playing him.

VOICEOVER:

It was completely pathetic.

VOICEOVER:

And now they're making A' movie that's completely unfair.

VOICEOVER:

And how will they even do it?

VOICEOVER:

'I say, Jack Black plays Christian and busy Phillips plays Anna.

VOICEOVER:

Now that would be interesting.

VOICEOVER:

Please italics, please bold.

VOICEOVER:

Please, please stop buying this book and reading it.

VOICEOVER:

Just stop.

VOICEOVER:

Read books that deserve this attention.

Chelsey Donn:

My goodness, Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

Oh wow.

Trey Gerrald:

What's there for you listening to

Chelsey Donn:

'I don't know.

Chelsey Donn:

Like so 'I in the middle of listening to this, 'I started being like, oh, 'I should

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I mean 'I know 'I 'I vaguely.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember that 'I took Shanice to school.

Chelsey Donn:

A' Little bit cuz 'I just felt like this was an opinion piece written as A' review.

Trey Gerrald:

Okay.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Shanice was really like damning this whole book that obviously was A' bestseller.

Chelsey Donn:

So there's somebody out there that really likes it, even if it's not

Chelsey Donn:

This stuck out 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know if it stuck out before, but the part about reading the emails,

Trey Gerrald:

No.

Chelsey Donn:

did 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

But is there like A' section of the book?

Chelsey Donn:

That's their emails back and forth.

Trey Gerrald:

Maybe

Chelsey Donn:

And then the other thing that popped out to me, which 'I was like actually

Trey Gerrald:

'I, mean 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Don't remem 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Just remem 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember us being obsessed with Shanice.

Trey Gerrald:

Because it is really ripe with personality.

Trey Gerrald:

'I love the opener as ha.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

The laughing at the top 'I was dying.

Trey Gerrald:

really fun.

Trey Gerrald:

And the laughing the ha's

Chelsey Donn:

The ha.

Trey Gerrald:

is really funny.

Chelsey Donn:

yeah, yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Agree.

Trey Gerrald:

'I am also struck.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm hearing in myself right now like 'I mean it's A' review, but it is very much not considering

Trey Gerrald:

this.

Trey Gerrald:

It's very clear that this person read Twilight and is coming in with A' bias.

Chelsey Donn:

It still sticks out as A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Very good.

Chelsey Donn:

Reads review.

Chelsey Donn:

There's something about the strong opinions that 'I think amongst the Good Reads community

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

Good reads.

Trey Gerrald:

Reviews.

Trey Gerrald:

Do feel like you're at A' pulpit and you're like giving A' lecture.

Trey Gerrald:

Like there is always an air that you are the expert.

Trey Gerrald:

Should we try to rate it right now or should we listen to what we think then?

Chelsey Donn:

feel like we should try to rate it now cuz 'I think 'I will be influenced.

Trey Gerrald:

Think 'I will be too.

Trey Gerrald:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

We're gonna try to tabulate right now based on 99 episodes later.

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating

VOICEOVER:

to A' school.

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't have half crowns at the time.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't think

Trey Gerrald:

Interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

Whoa.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm holding up two Trey's, holding up four.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know.

Chelsey Donn:

'I feel like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I would've been harsh because 'I would've felt like Shanice was, was just

Chelsey Donn:

So 'I went with two cuz we didn't have half.

Chelsey Donn:

If 'I was gonna do it today, 'I probably would be more of A' two and A' half

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah, I'm actually thinking maybe 'I don't mean four 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think what's there for me.

Trey Gerrald:

Like 'I appreciate that.

Trey Gerrald:

Um, Shanice is going strong, strong in their thoughts, which

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Like Shanice, like 'I think she's

Trey Gerrald:

Yes, but 'I don't know that Shanice ne necessarily represents what

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, is it common?

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't, 'I don't 'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like there's also this whole era or this, there's this whole phenomenon

Chelsey Donn:

Right.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

Like are we just being irreverent?

Trey Gerrald:

So 'I think 'I might wanna change mine to three because 'I do kind of

Trey Gerrald:

Like 'I think it's kind of middle of the like.

Trey Gerrald:

It's just really strong A' personality, which is fun to

Chelsey Donn:

Right.

Chelsey Donn:

Agree.

Chelsey Donn:

But not every review that's fun to read is actually A', Review,

Trey Gerrald:

correct?

Trey Gerrald:

Correct.

Chelsey Donn:

Important distinction.

VOICEOVER:

Shanice came to play and she

Chelsey Donn:

'I said that

VOICEOVER:

to say, but like that is the review on like A' website.

VOICEOVER:

Like she, like that's an essay like that.

VOICEOVER:

If, if 'I was A' third grade teacher minus the F words, that's an essay.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, for sure.

VOICEOVER:

Could even be collegiate level 'I mean She, only did she, 'I, 'I just heard you reciting

VOICEOVER:

She's like, 'I overused.

VOICEOVER:

The italics, I'm aware.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Was A' Choice.

VOICEOVER:

It literally was like very small on the website and it's kind of long.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I had to like copy paste it and put it into A' Word document so that 'I could see it better.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I like erased all of the um, font formatting and then 'I had to go back and undo that

VOICEOVER:

So maybe Shanice is like an English teacher.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Where 'I sort of lose Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

Is her dogmatic approach.

VOICEOVER:

She's, you know, really speaking for all of us when really she

VOICEOVER:

Like personally, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think if Shanice was talking more about her personal preference and less about the absolutes.

VOICEOVER:

Like this doesn't have A' right to be made into A' movie.

VOICEOVER:

This doesn't have A' right to take place anywhere within literature.

VOICEOVER:

Not to mention within this genre, 'I feel like Shanice could have been A', Review, Queen.

VOICEOVER:

But the bias really pushed me, um, outside of that category for Shanice.

VOICEOVER:

Also, it it struck me that, you know, 'I didn't read this book.

VOICEOVER:

It did, it was A' cultural phenomenon, and it's about B D S M.

VOICEOVER:

So it's just interesting to bring up like, Why is this about B?

VOICEOVER:

Like if you aren't interested then like, like A' Different book.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Like, or just like, you know, go to Walmart.

VOICEOVER:

That aside 'I actually find this to be A' very valuable review because 'I

VOICEOVER:

And so there's A' lot of, um, attention to detail and it is like

VOICEOVER:

And so 'I imagine that they have A' high level of taste when it comes to other people's writing.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

'I agree.

VOICEOVER:

She's speaking in absolutes rather than personal opinions.

VOICEOVER:

Um, but that little shift aside, 'I, 'I feel like 'I feel warned, maybe

VOICEOVER:

Unless like you wanna just like stop and have A' Hardy laugh.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

Trey Gerrald:

but wait, 'I just have to contradict my past self because sh Shanice

Chelsey Donn:

that's right.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, we didn't, 'I don't even think we spoke about that cuz there was so much going on in the review.

Chelsey Donn:

'I didn't hear that either until the replay.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, good point.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like Shanice is the type of person that like just laughs all the time.

VOICEOVER:

Say what you will about Shanice and her opinions.

VOICEOVER:

But when you're around Shanice, you're gonna be laughing too because she just

VOICEOVER:

Think Shanice took this one step too far in speaking for everybody, but 'I think

VOICEOVER:

And we would be laughing too.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I do kind of think this was A' common experience.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think everyone knew that it was like based on fan fiction for another source

VOICEOVER:

'I think it, this is probably A' common experience, right?

VOICEOVER:

'I do.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I wonder, like, you know, if this would be A' deal breaker, like if 'I was somebody

VOICEOVER:

Don't think so.

VOICEOVER:

Especially if 'I was like on board for A' B D S M moment.

VOICEOVER:

Mm-hmm.

VOICEOVER:

You know, she doesn't like that.

VOICEOVER:

She's not into that.

VOICEOVER:

But like you said, like you, you know, what do they say?

VOICEOVER:

You don't go to, you don't get milk at A' hardware store.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean like, you know what you're getting.

Trey Gerrald:

What

VOICEOVER:

going in for 50 shades of gray.

VOICEOVER:

Agreed.

VOICEOVER:

There's no gray area in what you are receiving.

VOICEOVER:

Zero gray in 50 shades of gray.

VOICEOVER:

Zero gray 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think we've been talking about this the whole time.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I, this is like thoroughly entertaining 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think it's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Very entertaining review.

VOICEOVER:

Definitely points for entertainment from me.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I, 'I don't feel persuaded either way, right?

VOICEOVER:

So that is interesting cuz 'I really like this Review 'I enjoy it.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I don't really know that there's any impact honestly, other than

VOICEOVER:

'I agree.

VOICEOVER:

'I think, um, 'I think that the impact wasn't, um, as impactful

Chelsey Donn:

Genius phrasing there.

VOICEOVER:

All right.

VOICEOVER:

'I, feel like we have enough information.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I think we do too.

VOICEOVER:

Are you ready to crown it?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, I'm ready.

VOICEOVER:

Let's

Trey Gerrald:

Do you remember what you did?

Chelsey Donn:

Didn't we like have A' whole conversation about like,

Chelsey Donn:

What are we gonna say?

Chelsey Donn:

Going into the crowning or whatever and 'I 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I just like said it and 'I said, yeah, let's Crown or something like that and,

VOICEOVER:

are

Trey Gerrald:

did?

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

then we ended up using that

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Wonder if I'm gonna have the same rating.

Chelsey Donn:

don't know, maybe 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I moved her up to A' three.

Chelsey Donn:

I'm gonna stick with my two though

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean we didn't do half

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't have half crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think there's A' possibility that the ChelseyBD of 2021 did A' three,

rtr-100_chelsey 00:54:47

two

Trey Gerrald:

Let's see it.

Trey Gerrald:

The 'I, my memory of Shanice is much more affectionate than 'I feel at

Chelsey Donn:

think 'I like Shanice, but

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Like Shanice, but 'I, remember Shanice as like A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Really good review, which is interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

Okay, here

VOICEOVER:

You ready to show?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean Can 'I say 'I was like really tempted to break A' crown in half for this?

VOICEOVER:

Oh, we should discuss that.

VOICEOVER:

Should we be

Chelsey Donn:

you go.

VOICEOVER:

Should we have A'

Chelsey Donn:

Because 'I wanted to do two and A' half crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

'I bet.

Trey Gerrald:

Episode one.

Trey Gerrald:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

Listeners, if you have an opinion about that share?

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Okay.

VOICEOVER:

You ready to show?

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

Chelsey Donn:

Three Crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

We both did

VOICEOVER:

A' tie.

VOICEOVER:

We both have three crowns.

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD, you wanna, um, explain why you

Trey Gerrald:

And today you said two,

Chelsey Donn:

'I said two, but 'I said 'I wouldn't have been surprised if the

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I didn't know that 'I had said that.

Chelsey Donn:

So interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

Right.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I originally said four, but 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think after 'I spoke,

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

So we're still, we're pretty, we're pretty much the same as what we were,

VOICEOVER:

Yes, 'I voted for three cuz 'I gave Shanice high points on

VOICEOVER:

Where she lost me was her impact or influence her ability to sway people in one way or another.

VOICEOVER:

And also the bias, her personal bias, uh, based on her taste.

VOICEOVER:

So that was why 'I took away two points.

VOICEOVER:

But 'I kinda wanna like go get A' drink with Shanice, which is why 'I was

VOICEOVER:

How about you?

VOICEOVER:

Okay,

Chelsey Donn:

'I was gonna do three and A' half.

Chelsey Donn:

See?

VOICEOVER:

verbatim.

VOICEOVER:

Ditto because 'I feel like 'I want be friends with Shanice, but yeah, 'I mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I would need to read A'.

VOICEOVER:

Couple of more reviews to sort of get A' deeper.

VOICEOVER:

Feel.

VOICEOVER:

'I found this to be incredibly entertaining, um, which is why 'I was

VOICEOVER:

It was A' Pleasant Read and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Appreciate her attention to bold metallics and line spacing capitals, parentheticals.

VOICEOVER:

But ultimately, you know, uh, 'I, it's sort of middle of the road.

VOICEOVER:

Maybe 'I would break A' Crown too.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

If, if we were doing that, that's why 'I went with three crowns.

VOICEOVER:

A'.

VOICEOVER:

That was such A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good first entry.

VOICEOVER:

Try wait.

VOICEOVER:

A' really, really have the first review of Review That Review deliver on so many levels.

VOICEOVER:

I'm impressed.

VOICEOVER:

I'm honored to be your partner in Review Queen.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, sh.

VOICEOVER:

Um,

Chelsey Donn:

feel that way.

VOICEOVER:

but 'I think we do need like A', little bit of A' palette cleanse.

VOICEOVER:

Before we just dive into the second review, what do you think?

VOICEOVER:

'I Love that idea.

VOICEOVER:

So let's do A', quick little break.

VOICEOVER:

And then when we come back, we are gonna introduce you all to our fun game with Meryl Streep.

VOICEOVER:

Love it.

VOICEOVER:

Brb.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Wanna quickly just give A' little bit of like chat moment to Meryl and this is gonna

Chelsey Donn:

So Meryl came up because originally when Trey and 'I had conceptualized this show, we thought

Chelsey Donn:

And that would mean that like the entire Shanice review would've been read as like A' news anchor

Chelsey Donn:

And so we did actually record an episode where we did that and we are gonna be

Chelsey Donn:

But it's so funny and really wouldn't have done justice to the reviews if

Chelsey Donn:

But you know, this is what would've been so distracting.

Chelsey Donn:

But this is what happens when you are conceptualizing A' podcast.

Chelsey Donn:

You know, so funny.

VOICEOVER:

Now back to the show.

VOICEOVER:

ChelseyBD.

Chelsey Donn:

did it?

Chelsey Donn:

'I was like, are you gonna do

Trey Gerrald:

episode one.

VOICEOVER:

'I hated that.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't feel like an icon most of the days.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like 'I.

VOICEOVER:

can't!.

VOICEOVER:

That's with an

Chelsey Donn:

an A'.

VOICEOVER:

All right, here's the deal.

VOICEOVER:

Trey and 'I are each gonna pick A', rotten, scathing, pithy, One-Star-Zinger.

VOICEOVER:

And with 30 seconds on the clock, not A'.

VOICEOVER:

Second more we'll take turns.

VOICEOVER:

Trying to recite the zinger in as many genres as possible, just like Queen Merrill

Chelsey Donn:

'I 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Vaguely.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember that like you were having trouble 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know if it was in rehearsals or when it was, but like with the pithy copy,

Chelsey Donn:

And so that was when, when we

Trey Gerrald:

you had

Chelsey Donn:

then and there that like that was gonna be my section.

VOICEOVER:

by name

Trey Gerrald:

remember crafting the phrasing of that with

Chelsey Donn:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

is two out five awful.

VOICEOVER:

And the

Chelsey Donn:

Wait, so 'I didn't even bring in A'.

Chelsey Donn:

One Star 'I brought in.

Chelsey Donn:

Wait, did 'I bring in A' two star for A'?

Chelsey Donn:

One-Star-Zinger.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

That's really funny.

Trey Gerrald:

'I didn't, 'I didn't catch that until you just said.

Chelsey Donn:

so funny.

VOICEOVER:

'I would rather pass A' Gallstone during A' Yani concert A'.

VOICEOVER:

All right, that's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Um, alright, that's, well that's what 'I gotta work with.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think you're gonna do great.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, here we we go.

VOICEOVER:

Three, Two,.

VOICEOVER:

VOICEOVER:

Think Meryl would be proud.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

Wow.

VOICEOVER:

'I can't even believe it.

VOICEOVER:

Chelsey Donn:

can't!

VOICEOVER:

Chelsey Donn:

You did it too.

Trey Gerrald:

VOICEOVER:

emoji that

Trey Gerrald:

Why were we

Trey Gerrald:

ha what?

Chelsey Donn:

we called the entire thing?

Chelsey Donn:

One-Star-Zinger.

Chelsey Donn:

We worked so hard to write that copy.

Chelsey Donn:

One star and we both brought in two.

Chelsey Donn:

That's crazy.

Chelsey Donn:

'I don't think we did that after this.

Chelsey Donn:

Like

Trey Gerrald:

like 'I was more intentional about one, one sentences, but literally

Chelsey Donn:

so crazy.

Chelsey Donn:

That's hilarious.

VOICEOVER:

He didn't laugh when 'I said that his mom was the capital of Jabi.

Chelsey Donn:

Oh God.

VOICEOVER:

All right, are you ready?

VOICEOVER:

'I am ready.

VOICEOVER:

Three,, Two,, One, GO!

VOICEOVER:

mime always start horror.

VOICEOVER:

He didn't laugh when 'I said that his mom was the capital of musical theater.

VOICEOVER:

He didn't laugh when 'I A'

VOICEOVER:

Televangelist, who didn't?

VOICEOVER:

When 'I said to his mama, 'I was A' capital of Disney.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, he didn't laugh when 'I said that his mom was A'.

VOICEOVER:

Capital of Chail.

VOICEOVER:

That's A' 'I.

VOICEOVER:

That's A'.

VOICEOVER:

That was like four or something.

VOICEOVER:

How many?

VOICEOVER:

No, it wasn't.

VOICEOVER:

It was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

VOICEOVER:

I'm really proud of you.

VOICEOVER:

You really are good at this.

VOICEOVER:

And so you deserve this round of

Chelsey Donn:

You were great.

Chelsey Donn:

You were always so hard on yourself.

VOICEOVER:

I'm honored.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I never really won anything growing up.

VOICEOVER:

So even, even 'I feel like you always win this.

VOICEOVER:

You're so good at this.

VOICEOVER:

Well, thank you 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Appreciate that.

VOICEOVER:

Yay.

VOICEOVER:

That was, uh, the Meryl-Go-Round

Trey Gerrald:

Same

VOICEOVER:

Review.

VOICEOVER:

That Review.

Trey Gerrald:

We didn't strap each other in

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't.

Chelsey Donn:

When did we start doing that?

Chelsey Donn:

'I wonder?

Chelsey Donn:

That just happened organically too.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember making A' graphic for it for the Instagram.

Trey Gerrald:

So 'I know it had something to do with Miley Cyrus.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think you

Chelsey Donn:

the wrecking ball?

Chelsey Donn:

That was the first one you mean

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think so.

Trey Gerrald:

Cuz then it was so

Chelsey Donn:

that we

Trey Gerrald:

'I could be wrong.

Trey Gerrald:

'I think.

Chelsey Donn:

you're right.

VOICEOVER:

My review is from Yelp.

VOICEOVER:

It is written by David s one star review of the Central Park Zoo, um,

VOICEOVER:

David s has written 38 other reviews and included nine photos.

VOICEOVER:

He did include two photos in, in his review of the Central Park Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

So without further ado, David s This is A' Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

Good luck seeing any animals.

VOICEOVER:

Unless you consider thousands of other tourists crammed elbow to elbow in this

VOICEOVER:

We saw part of A' bear's leg 'I, think maybe an arm.

VOICEOVER:

We saw some beautiful but dirty swans eating from A' grain dish, but they were pretty quickly

VOICEOVER:

That was fairly entertaining as Here's what would happen if you took A' beautiful

VOICEOVER:

It would get covered in A' layer of New York's scum, and some rats would eat its lunch.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Suppose this place is A' Zoo in the pejorative sense.

VOICEOVER:

Wait, is that what it's supposed to be?

VOICEOVER:

Is this some kind of A' sarcastic art installation,

Trey Gerrald:

Hmm.

Trey Gerrald:

What do you think of A' review?

Chelsey Donn:

Think it's funny.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, my memory's serving.

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't like David.

Chelsey Donn:

We thought he was like A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Little bit like broy with the pejorative and all of that.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I still kind of think that the whole tourist is animals and them not

Chelsey Donn:

'I don't know if 'I thought it was funny at the time, or

Trey Gerrald:

'I think it.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I do think it's

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Definitely think it's funny.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I think, what I'm feeling the most struck by is it feels like A' character

Trey Gerrald:

And the world is gonna be taking animals out of their natural environment.

Trey Gerrald:

So

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah, that's

Trey Gerrald:

like, like it is sort of like, okay, so you don't like that the zoo exists in New York?

Trey Gerrald:

Like it's being

Trey Gerrald:

shady of

Chelsey Donn:

hilarious that he saw A' Bear's Leg and 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember that we put that on the cover part of A' Bear's leg.

Trey Gerrald:

God, that is really funny.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean, do 'I 'I mean?

Trey Gerrald:

'I?

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like the value here is like, it's in Manhattan, so it's gonna be jam-packed.

Trey Gerrald:

Crazy 'I mean the deodorant thing.

Trey Gerrald:

Can we say that that's typical 'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I mean they're tourists.

Trey Gerrald:

So

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

What do you, what would you rate this today?

Chelsey Donn:

Mean.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think I'm gonna be higher than

Trey Gerrald:

Like what's the impact?

Chelsey Donn:

'I feel like the impact is that like this isn't like the San Diego Zoo.

Chelsey Donn:

It's not like A' huge zoo where you're going to see tons of exhibits.

Chelsey Donn:

Like you're gonna be lucky if you can see A', little bit of A' bear, which is like

Chelsey Donn:

Cuz there's not like that much space though.

Chelsey Donn:

Central Park is pretty big.

Trey Gerrald:

All right.

Trey Gerrald:

Should we just crown it?

Chelsey Donn:

I'm gonna crown it.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Feel like 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Wonder if this is gonna be higher than what 'I actually did, but here we go.

Trey Gerrald:

'I?

Trey Gerrald:

Have no idea what 'I did back

VOICEOVER:

The Queens are Tabulating

VOICEOVER:

to the school.

Trey Gerrald:

Oh my

Chelsey Donn:

Oh my God.

Chelsey Donn:

Hilarious.

Chelsey Donn:

Okay, so 'I, we, this is what happened the first time Trey's holding up

Chelsey Donn:

Like are we both waxing poetic on our first review selections and feeling like

Chelsey Donn:

And maybe 'I landed at A' three again in the end of this 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Don't know why 'I went with four 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Just think that like it's important to know what you're getting into.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I feel like David in A', funny way, explained, you know what we're up against.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Hear that.

Trey Gerrald:

'I have no recollection.

Trey Gerrald:

'I have no idea what 'I thought back then.

Trey Gerrald:

'I can see in the video that I'm smiling.

Trey Gerrald:

So 'I am entertained, which 'I think it is entertaining.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Think the value like 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Don't think you can say that.

Trey Gerrald:

That my experience, I'm gonna have smelly 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Non deodorant wearing tourists because it's like the tourists could be from

Trey Gerrald:

Don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

I'm

Chelsey Donn:

Word Deodorant is plentiful.

Trey Gerrald:

also like 'I would love to just hear more about the actual layout, the experience like

Trey Gerrald:

Here we go.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, well first of all, great pick.

VOICEOVER:

Thanks.

VOICEOVER:

Um, I'm curious, do you happen to know if David s lives in New York?

VOICEOVER:

'I don't know if David s lives in New York, but 'I feel like no 'I wanna say

VOICEOVER:

'I just have A' question.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Why would you choose the Central Park Zoo when you could go to the Bronx Zoo?

VOICEOVER:

I'm with you.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean I've been to both zoos and to be Okay.

VOICEOVER:

Here we go.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

David s 'I don't think is very far off 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

When 'I went to the Central Park Zoo, 'I actually don't know if 'I did see A'.

VOICEOVER:

Like I've never actually thought about that, but A', lot of the like, things were closed.

VOICEOVER:

But honey, hearing this thing about is there no capacity hits in A' whole new way in 2021?

VOICEOVER:

No.

VOICEOVER:

'I know.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't know something.

VOICEOVER:

This is like, um, the 'I, this is just occurring to me so I'm sharing it.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, but something about this like, um, aren't 'I witty turn of the review

VOICEOVER:

'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, there are A'.

VOICEOVER:

Lot of things that were A' turn off about this.

VOICEOVER:

Let's just be clear that David s obviously has impeccable grammar.

VOICEOVER:

Um, he, he used ellipses properly and he also used words like pejorative.

VOICEOVER:

So 'I think maybe David s is like an s A' T tutor on the side.

VOICEOVER:

Maybe s A' t too.

Trey Gerrald:

Hilarious.

VOICEOVER:

he definitely has A' way with the pen.

VOICEOVER:

But that being said, there was A' sense of pretentiousness oozing off the page with David A'.

VOICEOVER:

There was A' sense 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I.

VOICEOVER:

I'm nodding an agreement.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

Do you think that there's like value in this review 'I?

VOICEOVER:

Think maybe in the sense of, like you said, it's not the best zoo.

VOICEOVER:

Go to the Bronx Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

If you're gonna be in the area, this is like A' Zoo Light.

VOICEOVER:

So in that sense, 'I don't think he's misleading the reader.

VOICEOVER:

'I think it's right to keep expectations low.

VOICEOVER:

If you're gonna go to the Central Park Zoo, yes.

VOICEOVER:

But you do have to pay that admission fee.

VOICEOVER:

So it, it is A' Zoo.

VOICEOVER:

David s has A' point to be A' little upset about paying to go to A' Zoo and like maybe

VOICEOVER:

But also it's like pizza Rat.

VOICEOVER:

You know what 'I mean?

VOICEOVER:

Like rats are part of the experience, right?

VOICEOVER:

They're just there.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, they're just there.

VOICEOVER:

If you're gonna be in the city, you're gonna see rats.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think like this is probably somewhat typical.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Um, what's the entertainment value here?

VOICEOVER:

'I Don't

Trey Gerrald:

Literally just said the opposite.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Don't know.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like David was giving me A', little bit of Karen vibes with his like, judgmentalness, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think 'I was somewhat entertained.

VOICEOVER:

'I wasn't knocked off my socks, he wasn't giving me laughter or anything like that.

VOICEOVER:

You know, like 'I think.

VOICEOVER:

That's what turned me off about the, um, the turn at the end about like,

VOICEOVER:

Like it just felt A' little like heavy handed 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Don't know,

Trey Gerrald:

interesting.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel the

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah,

Chelsey Donn:

same.

VOICEOVER:

were being really clever, but 'I don't know.

VOICEOVER:

That's kind of Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Think definitely David s thinks A' lot of themselves 'I mean.

VOICEOVER:

And also is this some kind of sarcastic art installation?

VOICEOVER:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I like unnecessary.

VOICEOVER:

It do.

VOICEOVER:

Although that would be A' really interesting.

VOICEOVER:

Like, um, performance art, like thesis, install A' Zoo and uh, let the actual patrons be the animals.

VOICEOVER:

Oh, that's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, that's A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good point.

VOICEOVER:

But if we never had this into Park Zoo, we would never have the animated series Madagascar.

VOICEOVER:

Exactly.

VOICEOVER:

What do you think the impact of this review is?

VOICEOVER:

'I, if you were, uh, David S's grandmother, would you hang this on the fridge?

Chelsey Donn:

Oh, this is the first time we said this.

Chelsey Donn:

'I

Chelsey Donn:

think

Trey Gerrald:

but 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel like we haven't said that in A' really

Chelsey Donn:

we haven't because at at one point on the website, 'I don't know if it's still there.

Chelsey Donn:

'I was like defining each of our like scientific breakdown in case people wanted

Chelsey Donn:

And when we were talking about like the overall impact, we did talk about would grandma hang on A'

Trey Gerrald:

I'm gonna bring that back.

Trey Gerrald:

'I like

VOICEOVER:

Yeah, it's true with those little like bunny sculptures that you can

VOICEOVER:

Love A'.

VOICEOVER:

Good bunny sculpture.

VOICEOVER:

'I can stick my face in 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Feel like I'm ready, like 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I can crown this right.

Chelsey Donn:

an Indian.

Chelsey Donn:

The A',

VOICEOVER:

'I think I'm ready.

VOICEOVER:

Let's crown it.

Trey Gerrald:

The same cards?

Chelsey Donn:

'I say three?

VOICEOVER:

A' school

Trey Gerrald:

No.

VOICEOVER:

A'

Chelsey Donn:

We were unanimous.

Chelsey Donn:

Again, it too Trey.

Chelsey Donn:

You were right at the top of the review.

Trey Gerrald:

so weird.

Chelsey Donn:

'I give them four?

Chelsey Donn:

That's so interesting.

Chelsey Donn:

We were totally unanimous.

Trey Gerrald:

still said too, but 'I think that 'I feel differently.

Trey Gerrald:

Like 'I was saying, it's not really entertaining, but today, 'I think it's very entertaining.

Trey Gerrald:

'I disregard the review because 'I think it's only entertainment.

Trey Gerrald:

But at the time, back then and the day, 'I thought they were really spelling out that

Trey Gerrald:

Which 'I don't think they're really spelling out 'I think they're being entertaining.

Chelsey Donn:

agree.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean.

Chelsey Donn:

'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Also think like we've been hardened.

Chelsey Donn:

We've read A' lot.

Chelsey Donn:

If 'I found A', David s today, 'I would definitely be screenshotting and

Trey Gerrald:

'I was curious if this would be, what would this experience

Chelsey Donn:

yeah.

VOICEOVER:

'I 'I would've gone maybe 2.5 because 'I 'I think that.

Chelsey Donn:

crown.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

VOICEOVER:

In terms of literacy and you know, being able to understand

VOICEOVER:

Sometimes you read reviews, they're just like the spelling's all over the place.

VOICEOVER:

The grammar's all over the place.

VOICEOVER:

'I don't understand what you're saying.

VOICEOVER:

'I do feel like 'I understood what David s was saying.

VOICEOVER:

'I feel like it is probably A' fair assessment.

VOICEOVER:

'I mean there's lots of tourists.

VOICEOVER:

I'm sure you know, people walking around the city all day, walking around the park.

VOICEOVER:

I'm sure they do smell.

VOICEOVER:

Um, I'm sure 'I can expect to probably only see A' leg, an arm, um, the top of

VOICEOVER:

So 'I did feel like he was being truthful in his experience.

VOICEOVER:

'I took, you know, A' few crowns away from him because 'I felt like he was A'.

VOICEOVER:

Little bit Swarmy, A' little bit into himself and 'I wanted to knock him down.

VOICEOVER:

A' few pegs, 'I.

VOICEOVER:

So that was why 'I ultimately came to two crowns.

VOICEOVER:

How about you?

VOICEOVER:

You know, generally the 'I think there's value in the fact that like someone wasn't impressed

VOICEOVER:

All the hordes of people is sort of like, uh, is that for real?

VOICEOVER:

And 'I 'I wasn't very entertained.

VOICEOVER:

And um, so for that reason, 'I just 'I gave it two, two crowns.

Chelsey Donn:

You were A' little.

Chelsey Donn:

You were harsh

VOICEOVER:

did

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

But the same score, but for different reasons.

Trey Gerrald:

That is

Chelsey Donn:

for different reasons.

Chelsey Donn:

'I know it is 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Remember obsessing when 'I was listening back to the recording because 'I, remember when 'I

Chelsey Donn:

And so 'I said something kind of like in between the two.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I remember thinking, is everyone gonna think I'm an idiot?

Chelsey Donn:

Cuz 'I didn't know it was smarmy.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Mean 'I still haven't even clocked if that you were in between two different

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

That's funny.

Trey Gerrald:

'I also, remember in the beginning of the process it was, it was very much like you're A' little

Chelsey Donn:

No, but 'I think we sort of like traded off

Trey Gerrald:

'I think

Chelsey Donn:

sometimes 'I was the

Trey Gerrald:

each other.

Chelsey Donn:

you were the Paula.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

But also remember in the beginning, was it um, A' ham and cheese Sandwich?

Trey Gerrald:

of him and Cheese A' lot today.

Chelsey Donn:

'I know we haven't talked about ham and cheese in A' while, but 'I remember

Chelsey Donn:

Right?

Chelsey Donn:

Like they were like throwing things because, so maybe this was one of those

Trey Gerrald:

yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

David has said that to me too.

Trey Gerrald:

Like he doesn't always agree with us

Chelsey Donn:

'I Love

VOICEOVER:

That you think is deserving of A' five star review.

VOICEOVER:

Who are you inducting for?

VOICEOVER:

My, Royal, Highness.

VOICEOVER:

I'm gonna go A'.

VOICEOVER:

Little bit unusual with my inductee and I'm gonna induct whoever created this app called 'I am.

VOICEOVER:

It's an affirmations app and it's just really nice.

VOICEOVER:

It's A'.

VOICEOVER:

It's A' great part of my day.

VOICEOVER:

Whenever I'm feeling down 'I, just get A' little alert on my phone like 'I am worth it.

VOICEOVER:

'I am able to accomplish what 'I want to and 'I have A' problem with affirmations

VOICEOVER:

'I have to come up with the affirmations and then 'I have to remember to say them.

VOICEOVER:

And so if you're someone who is interested in doing affirmations, but not quite sure

VOICEOVER:

This is not an ad, but download this app, 'I Am because they do all the

VOICEOVER:

All the dopamine and whatever benefits of the affirmations.

VOICEOVER:

So thank you to the inventor.

VOICEOVER:

'I should figure out who it is of the 'I Am app.

VOICEOVER:

I'm always grateful when there's somebody that uses this platform for good.

VOICEOVER:

Thank you.

VOICEOVER:

'I am.

VOICEOVER:

That's 'I.

VOICEOVER:

'I.

VOICEOVER:

Love that.

VOICEOVER:

Okay, so we all have to download the 'I Am app.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Not an ad though.

VOICEOVER:

Yes.

VOICEOVER:

Um, okay, so My, Royal, Highness,

Trey Gerrald:

my God.

Trey Gerrald:

We used to do two.

VOICEOVER:

uh,

Chelsey Donn:

Oh yeah,

Trey Gerrald:

to both induct

Chelsey Donn:

we used to both.

Chelsey Donn:

That was so much work.

VOICEOVER:

there was this really sweet, older lady, her name was Carol.

VOICEOVER:

And like, to be honest, she's probably in her like late seventies.

VOICEOVER:

She was tasked with, um, wiping down all of the shopping carts when you walk in.

VOICEOVER:

So she was like the greeter and she was really lovely and sweet.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I came in and she asked me how 'I was doing, and she called me Sugar and she

VOICEOVER:

And then on my way out, 'I, um, had too much stuff, so 'I had to get A' larger cart.

VOICEOVER:

And so 'I went up to Carroll and she said, oh, you underestimated.

VOICEOVER:

And then 'I had to go to the shopping, like to the parking lot.

VOICEOVER:

And um, so 'I was like, can 'I take this out, like to the parking structure?

VOICEOVER:

And she was like, you can do whatever you want, sweetie.

VOICEOVER:

And 'I was, you know, anyway, my whole point here is in this time of sort of

VOICEOVER:

Carol really made my day and who knows what her like story is, what her experience is,

VOICEOVER:

And Carol, whoever you are, you had an impact on me.

VOICEOVER:

And so for that you are My, Royal Highness, induct D for this week.

VOICEOVER:

Yay.

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Remember Carol,

VOICEOVER:

Congratulations Carol.

VOICEOVER:

It seems like well deserved and 'I.

VOICEOVER:

Hope you do get some stock in home goods.

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Trey Gerrald:

'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Feel that too.

Trey Gerrald:

Well 'I think cuz we 'I think underneath everything.

Trey Gerrald:

For both of us, we've realized now was like A', little bit of nervousness.

Trey Gerrald:

Also just being A'.

Trey Gerrald:

Little unsure 'I mean we were new 'I mean the experience of 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Mean.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like for rating this review that's really present to me is like 'I

Chelsey Donn:

So much.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I mean I'm, I'm happy 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

There is A' part of me that is sort of like nostalgic for those really long

Chelsey Donn:

We get to focus on just the one Well you're editing, but yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I do like the new format.

Chelsey Donn:

A' lot better.

Chelsey Donn:

'I do.

Chelsey Donn:

There's A' part of me that still Mrs.

Chelsey Donn:

Merrill 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Think 'I forever.

Chelsey Donn:

Will

Trey Gerrald:

But we have her every fourth after show.

Chelsey Donn:

we do have her on the after show?

Chelsey Donn:

That's true.

Chelsey Donn:

That is true.

Chelsey Donn:

But, um, 'I don't know.

Chelsey Donn:

You know what, 'I wasn't like as embarrassed as 'I thought.

Chelsey Donn:

'I would be

Trey Gerrald:

Same 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

Really thought 'I would be more embarrassed.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

So that's good.

Chelsey Donn:

You know, we're always looking back on ourselves, feeling like you just

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I feel like for two kids just getting started.

Chelsey Donn:

We were, we did pretty well.

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I feel like, um, protective of those people, 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

Me too.

Trey Gerrald:

like 'I, 'I thought 'I would be laughing at them more

Chelsey Donn:

Me too.

Chelsey Donn:

Or like what an idiot.

Trey Gerrald:

Even for how much is different.

Trey Gerrald:

Like so much of it really is the same.

Trey Gerrald:

Like the backbone is totally the same.

Chelsey Donn:

it's true.

Trey Gerrald:

think we've just loosened into it.

Trey Gerrald:

But 'I think the stuff that works like is sort of what we've streamlined after

Chelsey Donn:

Yeah.

Chelsey Donn:

'I really think we kept, we kept the best of everything.

Chelsey Donn:

And, and like you were saying at the top of this in terms of like, what have you

Chelsey Donn:

'I, 'I think that that is really evident and true in what we just watched.

Chelsey Donn:

Like 'I don't feel ashamed of what we created from the top of this, but 'I do recognize that

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I.

Chelsey Donn:

'I really like where we're at now.

Trey Gerrald:

Yes.

Trey Gerrald:

But speaking of like being embarrassed, 'I.

Trey Gerrald:

We do have the after show.

Trey Gerrald:

Wait, so should we,

Chelsey Donn:

God.

Chelsey Donn:

That's gonna be mortifying.

Chelsey Donn:

Chelsey Donn:

'I said four.

Trey Gerrald:

'I do feel like we could have just like gotten there quicker.

Trey Gerrald:

'I have criticisms.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know if 'I would've kept listening, to be honest.

Chelsey Donn:

Really?

Trey Gerrald:

Yeah.

Trey Gerrald:

'I don't know.

Trey Gerrald:

'I just feel like it's A' little like we were asking A', lot of the audience.

Trey Gerrald:

Why did you say four?

Chelsey Donn:

'I said for Cuz.

Chelsey Donn:

'I do feel like we are better now and 'I wanna like leave that room for the best episode ever.

Chelsey Donn:

And 'I don't think that it was the best episode ever.

Chelsey Donn:

But 'I do think that like for A', first try out of the gate.

Chelsey Donn:

You and 'I not having worked together, A' in this capacity outside of A'.

Chelsey Donn:

Couple of rehearsals, and this was really A' feedback that 'I heard

Chelsey Donn:

Lot of my friends, which 'I was grateful for, was that you and 'I were worked so great

Chelsey Donn:

And you know, our dynamic, which 'I think has, has obviously gotten stronger over the

Chelsey Donn:

And that's really still at the core of what we do here.

Chelsey Donn:

A' Review, That, Review.

Trey Gerrald:

And 'I would also say, 'I think it's good that the

We didn't know how to work Zoom.

Trey Gerrald:

We didn't know what to do with audio.

Trey Gerrald:

We didn't ha know

Trey Gerrald:

about sound cues.

Trey Gerrald:

We had A', completely different concept for how we would read review.

Trey Gerrald:

It's, it

Trey Gerrald:

is A' Wild

Chelsey Donn:

We didn't have certain sound cues.

Chelsey Donn:

'I, remember that was like my biggest takeaway from the Rehears rehearsal.
