Speaker:Hello.
Speaker:Well, hello and welcome to Review That Review.
Speaker:We are the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing.
Speaker:Reviews.
Speaker:That is Chelsey Donn.
Speaker:And that is Trey Gerrald.
Speaker:And together we are the Review Queens.
Speaker:And we just throw pins.
Speaker:I just threw a pen at myself.
Speaker:But first, you pen throwing diva, is there anything that you would like to?
Speaker:Ledge a complaint.
Speaker:About today?
Speaker:Oh my God, Trey, there totally is.
Speaker:It's not throwing pens at myself, though, you know, it happens.
Speaker:Um, okay.
Speaker:So recently.
Speaker:I got an Amazon package in the mail.
Speaker:I was ordering the tape for a P Touch.
Speaker:Just moved.
Speaker:Guys, what do we think of this new studio behind me?
Speaker:This is like the new look.
Speaker:This is where I am.
Speaker:I just moved.
Speaker:It was great.
Speaker:I bought some tape because I'm trying to be organized in my new home.
Speaker:It's like a label maker.
Speaker:Label maker.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I was so excited for it to arrive and all these plans ready and everything
Speaker:laid out on the dining room table.
Speaker:Like we're going to organize.
Speaker:It's going to be a great deal.
Speaker:Package comes in the mail.
Speaker:I'm so excited.
Speaker:I'm like, yes, let's do it.
Speaker:Let's organize.
Speaker:I'm in the mood.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:The right size.
Speaker:I get the package.
Speaker:I have a photo of it.
Speaker:I don't want to ruin it, but it's very bulky.
Speaker:It's, it's large.
Speaker:It's like, it feels like a small pillow.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And I'm like, this seems like a lot of work.
Speaker:Like, did they like really bubble wrap this P Touch tape?
Speaker:Like this just doesn't seem like the appropriate packaging, but
Speaker:I'm still not giving up hope because I have an intention here.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And so I go and first I look at the outside of the envelope.
Speaker:And it's a, my label with my address covering another label.
Speaker:So I can literally, I'm like starting to see the evidence.
Speaker:Like, I don't think this is my package.
Speaker:Like, I think this is this other person's package.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And so I open it up and it's like five pounds of hair weave.
Speaker:Okay,
Speaker:what, what color?
Speaker:Um, black.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And it's like this humongous bundle of hair weave.
Speaker:And I like, had them to deal with it, like, obviously, first, I had to
Speaker:deal with the upset of like, what?
Speaker:How did this happen?
Speaker:And then I called Amazon, and I was on customer service, and I was like,
Speaker:listen, I'm really upset about this for multiple reasons, and that is,
Speaker:one, I had an intention for the day, and that intention has been wasted.
Speaker:And two, this other person deserves to get their weave!
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Like, what is happening?
Speaker:And it was just very upsetting.
Speaker:And then they made me, like, return it, and then they did,
Speaker:like, overnight the P Touch tape.
Speaker:I know.
Speaker:And I got it like, you know, a day later and it was fine,
Speaker:whatever, it deleted the project.
Speaker:But what about this other person's weave?
Speaker:Don't they deserve it?
Speaker:You know, I hear, I hear this complaint because anytime it comes
Speaker:to organizing, it requires so much of your full mind, body, and spirit.
Speaker:And it really is carving out an entire day of a day's worth of intention.
Speaker:Yeah, and it was like, yeah, it was like that day too, you know,
Speaker:it like delayed me a full week.
Speaker:And so that you guys, so that you guys can see that there were two
Speaker:labels that clearly this other person didn't get what they ordered either.
Speaker:That's so weird.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:How did,
Speaker:They must have, like, made the package and then somehow your
Speaker:sticker got on top of theirs.
Speaker:Somehow.
Speaker:Which makes no
Speaker:sense.
Speaker:Like, I guess if it was, like, on an assembly line, like, I don't know,
Speaker:maybe it just, like, got stuck in the machine and it scanned twice, but then
Speaker:it would really start a chain reaction.
Speaker:I don't know, Trey.
Speaker:It's pretty crazy.
Speaker:Um, I'm sorry to the person that was supposed to receive this.
Speaker:We're going to obviously block out your name and address.
Speaker:From this video, but I hope that you did get what you ordered.
Speaker:I hope you called Amazon and you got what you wanted because, you know,
Speaker:we had a real flub here, Amazon.
Speaker:I feel like this person, they probably didn't get anything because
Speaker:like their label was under yours.
Speaker:Like this is the package.
Speaker:They just put your label on there.
Speaker:I don't know if
Speaker:they got the p touch tape.
Speaker:Maybe they did.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm very confused.
Speaker:It's very
Speaker:confusing.
Speaker:It's all a saga.
Speaker:Maybe one day I'll end up running into this person in LA.
Speaker:I'm like, Oh my God, so funny.
Speaker:Anyway, that's my complaint.
Speaker:It's a real time complaint.
Speaker:It was a first for me to receive a wrong product like that.
Speaker:To be honest.
Speaker:Yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't think I've ever received some, like, I don't
Speaker:think I've gotten a wrong item before.
Speaker:That's so weird.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:I mean, I think I've like, maybe someone's stolen a package.
Speaker:Like I've gone out to get a package and it's not there, or maybe they
Speaker:dropped it at the wrong address and I've had to call and be like, I actually
Speaker:didn't get it, but this was the first.
Speaker:Aye.
Speaker:Ay, well, I hear the complaint.
Speaker:Yes, definitely lodged.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Thankfully
Speaker:you don't need that weave.
Speaker:And I don't, it can go back to rightful owner, although
Speaker:maybe I, maybe I should.
Speaker:Maybe I should have taken the hint.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:Could Sasha Colby did?
Speaker:That's right.
Speaker:Could have.
Speaker:Alright, well, Chelsea,
Speaker:are you ready to go head to head?
Speaker:I a, well, I'm ready to go weave.
Speaker:To weave di, weave to
Speaker:weave.
Speaker:Let's do it.

Speaker:Today is another Versus episode, which means we are going to be
Speaker:covering both a one star and a five star on the same topic.
Speaker:That's right.
Speaker:For this versus episode, Trey has selected the five star and
Speaker:I have selected the one star.
Speaker:So to determine who reads first, we gotta flip that quarter.
Speaker:There's the quarter.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:You wanna pick?
Speaker:Okay, sure.
Speaker:Heads.
Speaker:Heads.
Speaker:Oh my goodness.
Speaker:All right, I guess I did it again.
Speaker:That means I have to say all this.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Um, do you want
Speaker:me to say it?
Speaker:No,
Speaker:no, no, it's good.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So before, what, at what point do I give Taylor credit?
Speaker:Just let me know.
Speaker:When we get to your review.
Speaker:So, Chelsey picked heads and heads it is.
Speaker:So, everyone get ready.
Speaker:Today, we are venturing deep.

Speaker:section of Yelp for NY Minute Dating.

Speaker:Yelp with an overall score of 3.
Speaker:5. So
Speaker:that's right there in the middle, right there, either way,
Speaker:according to the from the business section on Yelp.
Speaker:This is fully copy pasted, so enjoy the ride.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:New York Minute dating was established in 2007.

Speaker:So with all of that background and, Oh
Speaker:my god, this company,
Speaker:and Review That Review,
Speaker:Review That Review.
Speaker:Wow, Trey, that that's quite a company.
Speaker:That's quite a bio.
Speaker:I think they wanted to hit all the speed, the speed dating buzzwords,
Speaker:SEO or something like that.
Speaker:I think,
Speaker:I think.
Speaker:Interesting.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I just want to take a quick moment to give a shout out to Taylor Loeb,
Speaker:my acting coach because she's the one that gave us the idea to do
Speaker:speed dating for this versus episode.
Speaker:Great idea, Taylor.
Speaker:Um, thanks so much, Tay, and you're the best.
Speaker:Um, and I'm going to read the one star review today for this company,
Speaker:New York Minute Speed Dating.
Speaker:Here we go.
Speaker:This review, obviously it's one star, was written by Chris Z.
Speaker:Not to be confused with Chrissy,
Speaker:Chris,
Speaker:here we go,
Speaker:trust me when I say scam, this
Speaker:is a scam,
Speaker:I have been meaning to report them to the Better Business Bureau,
Speaker:wow,
Speaker:there are a number of reasons why, this is not worth time and money,
Speaker:Reason one, the dates, the night I attended were mostly stand in actors.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:I was curious and googled a few folks after.
Speaker:Two people were married, stand ins, One seemed to work for the company,
Speaker:Two were the odd awkward repeats who were gifted a free pass, and
Speaker:two admitted they were Asked to come and were not even interested.
Speaker:One of these guys said, I was asked to be here, So if I could, uh, one
Speaker:night stand out of this, I'd be happy.
Speaker:Oh my god.
Speaker:What type of service is this?
Speaker:Colon, semi colon, slash, refund, please!
Speaker:Reason two, I participated with a group of five beautiful, educated women.
Speaker:Each of us received one to four matches each, not one person
Speaker:followed up with us via phone or email, such a coincidence, right?
Speaker:Well, we also sent emails to our matches and nothing, it just reeks of shaviness.
Speaker:Just seems odd that not one person followed up, It only confirmed the
Speaker:shady business, actors, and stand in, Reason 3, The company does not have
Speaker:any integrity, The bartender blew their cover, And shared some information
Speaker:about this business following the event.
Speaker:She was sweet, nice, and did not mean any harm.
Speaker:So, we started asking more questions and there were red flags everywhere.
Speaker:Short answer equals shady.
Speaker:Also, there are some bad reviews that talk about Danny.
Speaker:I have previously read, and yes, Danny was still working for the company and
Speaker:also participating as a speed dater.
Speaker:Huh.
Speaker:Reason four, no refund available and they do not cancel the event if
Speaker:there are not enough participants.
Speaker:If I could, I would say ZERO!
Speaker:Stars, the events are a joke, and this company deserves to be investigated,
Speaker:Following the event, they also send you 5 off coupons, saying, We are
Speaker:short women, please join us, it's a lie, this is never the case, trust me.
Speaker:Oh, Chrissy, there are so many nuggets in this review, wow.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Um, wait, first of all, this is like point four or something.
Speaker:It is so funny to me that Chris C is like, I got some tea on how
Speaker:shady this business is, the shady, shady, shady, the long story short,
Speaker:shady, I'm like, give us nothing.
Speaker:Great.
Speaker:Wonderful.
Speaker:You literally said it.
Speaker:She said the short answer, shady.
Speaker:I'm like, yeah, you told us it was shady.
Speaker:Can you tell us the
Speaker:opening line?
Speaker:Like you've already thrown the bartender under the bus,
Speaker:even though you tried to like
Speaker:make up for it by being like, she's really nice.
Speaker:She
Speaker:shouldn't.
Speaker:She didn't mean she didn't mean to give us all the secret.
Speaker:Obviously, this company is going to know who that bartender is.
Speaker:You
Speaker:already
Speaker:put it out
Speaker:there.
Speaker:Just give us the
Speaker:tea.
Speaker:I got so excited to gossip.
Speaker:Um, so this is the perfect example of why I thought this topic would be
Speaker:interesting because, and they, and Chris picks up on it in many different points
Speaker:throughout, but it is sort of like, what does a company do at the end of
Speaker:the day if there are not enough bodies?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:I'm not saying the answer is higher actors.
Speaker:Or people that work in your office to act.
Speaker:But I'm saying like, she gets an email saying like here
Speaker:for 5 off, like, come back.
Speaker:Like, I mean, I hear you,
Speaker:I hear you, but I just think, isn't the whole job of the person
Speaker:running the speed dating event.
Speaker:To meet singles however they can, whether that be networking, you
Speaker:know, uh, going to other events or whatever it like, I don't know.
Speaker:Did you watch Million Millionaire Matchmaker?
Speaker:Not really, but enough to know Patti Stanger.
Speaker:Yeah, like, a huge part of that show is they would have, like, open calls, and
Speaker:they would meet with people, and they would, like, grill them about dating
Speaker:and what they wanted, and they would, they were actively meeting people.
Speaker:I feel like that's the whole job of the person running these type of events.
Speaker:Yeah, but to me, there is a distinction between, like, a matchmaker and,
Speaker:like, a speed dating company.
Speaker:But, but I think that that's the proof in the pudding here that we're finding
Speaker:in this review section where it's like there weren't any people there.
Speaker:And like,
Speaker:cause like you're going to a speed dating event to meet people.
Speaker:So why would I waste my time?
Speaker:Well, I also was thinking there's five women.
Speaker:That's like, the odds are pretty good if I'm a lady.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But wait, okay, let's go through some of this.
Speaker:Do we think there's any new?
Speaker:unique, valuable information in this review.
Speaker:I think there's a ton.
Speaker:I do too.
Speaker:I do too.
Speaker:I mean, even if it's truthful or not, I think there is so much.
Speaker:But now I'm like my, I'm on high alert.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:And I think like the actors thing, the stand in, like things I wouldn't
Speaker:have necessarily thought of before going in, like now I'm even honestly
Speaker:going to any speed dating event.
Speaker:Now I'm like, oh, this may be a possibility I need to be aware of.
Speaker:Yes, I've never thought, I've never thought that the
Speaker:people would be pretending.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That's never
Speaker:occurred to me.
Speaker:Never occurred to me either.
Speaker:It also would have never,
Speaker:well, it would have never occurred to me to like check in with the bartender.
Speaker:Be like, oh, you work these events often?
Speaker:Like, what's the story?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, do we think that Chrissy and her friends are like really hot pieces?
Speaker:I mean, they, she seems to present it like me and all my like tens came in
Speaker:here and didn't get a single match.
Speaker:Alright, so we were talking about the odds and how there's good odds
Speaker:because there are five of them, right?
Speaker:So, you would think, like, if, like, out of five people, one
Speaker:of them is gonna get a match.
Speaker:So I do think that maybe Chrissy is right.
Speaker:And maybe she was walking in with a bunch of tens.
Speaker:And it's suspicious.
Speaker:It's evident.
Speaker:Sorry, before I can even answer that, I'm, I'm taking this accusation that they're
Speaker:stand in actors, employees as truth.
Speaker:Like, I really am believing that that is true, which I don't know if that's fair
Speaker:or not, but like, If you are hired to be there and then you just like maybe it's a
Speaker:fake email, but like to not even respond when the person emails you is so dark.
Speaker:Oh, it's dark.
Speaker:Yeah, it's just it's strange.
Speaker:The whole thing seems strange.
Speaker:It also seems like maybe they didn't follow up with them afterwards.
Speaker:Like my shout out to Jenny.
Speaker:I hope I'm not putting out blast, but she's gone to a few events like this in
Speaker:New York and I've talked to her about it and like, Even if you pick someone and
Speaker:they don't pick you, like, Usually there's some sort of interaction, even if it's
Speaker:just like, Hey, like, these, this one person picked you and you didn't write
Speaker:them down, or Hey, like, wasn't a match this time, but like, If you want in the
Speaker:emails for the people that you match to try and see if that could turn into
Speaker:something, like, we'll give them to you.
Speaker:Like, there's usually some sort of communication.
Speaker:Even if, like, it's not, congratulations, you have a match, there's usually some
Speaker:sort of communication, and I don't trust, based on this review, that, like, there's
Speaker:any communication after the event.
Speaker:Other than here's 5 off.
Speaker:Other than here's like a generic, like automatic email.
Speaker:That's just like 5 off.
Speaker:If you come again, like, or you're now on their
Speaker:mailing list, you know,
Speaker:are there other spelling grammar issues?
Speaker:There's
Speaker:like little issues throughout, just like little grammatical things throughout.
Speaker:I mean, they definitely tried to be organized in this review, but
Speaker:it wasn't a hundred percent score.
Speaker:I give them like a 90 and then with the reason three, maybe, maybe 85.
Speaker:Um, I mean, the truthful shadiness is, is interesting because it's definitely shady.
Speaker:I think so too, but
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I kind of think it might be true too.
Speaker:I mean, I kind of think, I think there's like, they're
Speaker:presenting a lot of evidence.
Speaker:So like, if we're to take them at like any of this evidence, a lot of these
Speaker:points are sort of a deal breaker.
Speaker:So I think there's truth in that.
Speaker:But I also think we're being shady, especially where we started this
Speaker:conversation about the review and that I spoke with a bartender and I
Speaker:heard some salacious things, but let's just boil it all down to scam, you
Speaker:know, like it's like, it's a little bit shady boots in that we're like,
Speaker:it was so bad, I can't even say it.
Speaker:So I think there's, there's shade.
Speaker:And I do wonder, do you think it's
Speaker:common?
Speaker:I wonder how common it is.
Speaker:Well, you and I both just said like we never would've considered there
Speaker:would be prop people there, right?
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I don't know if it's common or fluky because like dating ins itself
Speaker:is like such a hit or miss thing.
Speaker:It's like you could go one time and meet the love of your life
Speaker:or you could go to 29 million of them and like it just doesn't.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:what about the fact that they brought up that multiple reviews
Speaker:talked about this guy Danny?
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:that seems like a common thread.
Speaker:That's a little, yeah, that's
Speaker:also another thing to like, to research.
Speaker:Like Chrissy is bringing up many things that I need to
Speaker:like, do more due diligence on.
Speaker:Like, I want to see what other
Speaker:people said about Danny.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I want to know like, and that's the other thing that's weird about Chrissy
Speaker:is she's giving these grand accusations.
Speaker:Like they're a scam.
Speaker:They don't have integrity, whatever it is.
Speaker:They're really, like, presenting a lot of these grand proclamations, like, oh,
Speaker:they're integrity, but they don't give a lot of specifics, which I think it
Speaker:makes it a little bit more difficult to assert, other than the Danny thing, if
Speaker:this is typical or not, were we humored?
Speaker:I mean, I was thoroughly humored and thoroughly entertained.
Speaker:Just the screaming,
Speaker:this is a scam, and then like, the first sentence with all the exclamation points.
Speaker:And the dangling of the like, I have tea.
Speaker:Yeah, I was definitely entertained by this review and I think it did have an impact.
Speaker:I mean, I'm sorry, but I'm going to wait to see what I hear in
Speaker:the five star, but I'm feeling in this moment like it's a pass.
Speaker:Yeah, it is a little, it does seem and I think it is a
Speaker:little retaliatory, but it is.
Speaker:Chrissy is bringing up many things that are concerning to me that I would need to,
Speaker:like, you know, compare other things to.
Speaker:Definitely.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:I think I can crown Chrissy.
Speaker:I think so, too.
Speaker:But before we do, Chelsey, it's game time.
Speaker:I can't wait.
Speaker:All right, Chelsey and audience.
Speaker:Today, I have created a never.
Speaker:Before existed, fresh out of the ethers game, based on today's theme, and I've
Speaker:lovingly titled it, Crush or Crash.
Speaker:Ooh, okay.
Speaker:So it's basically true or false.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And in honor of your consequences last week that you made me suffer from,
Speaker:Oh my goodness.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I created consequences for you.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And everyone
Speaker:should know that back in 2000 when Chelsey and I had our first conversation
Speaker:about this podcast, forcing consequences on each other was something that she
Speaker:has been trying to shoehorn into the show since that original conversation.
Speaker:And it never, never happened until the first video episode.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Okay, well, you reap what you sow, I guess.
Speaker:Here we go.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay, crush or crash?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Question one.
Speaker:According to recent dating studies, 15 percent of people admit they have
Speaker:brought their pet on a first date with them without telling the date beforehand.
Speaker:15, 15%. That's right.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:Ooh.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:pr.
Speaker:Oh my goodness.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I'm right.
Speaker:That's correct.
Speaker:And no consequences.
Speaker:Um, if you,
Speaker:if you had gotten it wrong, you would have been asked to give a heartfelt
Speaker:speech to your water bottle confessing.
Speaker:Why You never leave home without it.
Speaker:Oh my God.
Speaker:Well, would be that points if you made it
Speaker:romantic,
Speaker:that would be not true.
Speaker:But I should do that.
Speaker:I should be more romantic with my water bottle.
Speaker:Do you have your water bottle with you?
Speaker:Is it It was a triple headed.
Speaker:I have this.
Speaker:Alright, number two, crush or crash?
Speaker:There was a popular speed dating event where people wore paper bags over their
Speaker:heads to avoid judging based on looks.
Speaker:It became known as the Blind Luck Event Crush, or Crash,
Speaker:I'm gonna say crush.
Speaker:I sort of hope that this is true.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:So it is correct.
Speaker:Um, if you had guessed wrong, you would've been asked to put an
Speaker:imaginary paper bag over your head and introduced yourself as if you were
Speaker:at a Blind Luck speed dating event.
Speaker:Oh, wow.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Describing yourself
Speaker:without using any physical details.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So you've gotten both right so far.
Speaker:Two out
Speaker:of two so far.
Speaker:Really walking the tightrope though.
Speaker:All right, here we go.
Speaker:During a speed dating event in 2019, a woman set a world record for speed
Speaker:dating 200 men in a single day.
Speaker:I'm going to say crash because those would have to be like really fast date.
Speaker:Correct.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:If you had gotten
Speaker:that wrong.
Speaker:Oh, I'm missing out on all these acting opportunities, apparently.
Speaker:You would have been asked to speed date the room.
Speaker:Oh.
Speaker:You have a 10 second mini introduction to everyone in the room about
Speaker:your favorite breakfast cereal.
Speaker:Alright, this is the last question and then we have a bonus round, okay?
Speaker:One speed dating company hosted an event where everyone communicated only using
Speaker:emojis written on small whiteboards.
Speaker:Crush or crash?
Speaker:That's like so random.
Speaker:I'm gonna say crash.
Speaker:I may
Speaker:be wrong on this one though.
Speaker:That's
Speaker:true?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So, you got one wrong.
Speaker:Yeah, I did.
Speaker:Even though I think you might have thrown it.
Speaker:I might have.
Speaker:Express how you feel about this question with only emojis acting it out instead of
Speaker:instead of drawing it on a piece of paper.
Speaker:Oh, God.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Here we go.
Speaker:Oh, wait, this is there a question?
Speaker:Not that question.
Speaker:The question is, how do I feel about speed dating?
Speaker:Uh, the previous question about only answering with emoji whiteboards.
Speaker:How do you feel about that?
Speaker:As an idea?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Can you do one of those like, um, orange diamonds or like the white square?
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Pretty white.
Speaker:Miss story of getting weave sent to her.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Oh my God.
Speaker:Here's the bonus round.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:No, if you get this right,
Speaker:you win
Speaker:the game.
Speaker:You'll win.
Speaker:But if you get it wrong, you're still going to win
Speaker:because you only got one wrong.
Speaker:So, okay.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:At a 2019 gay speed dating event in Miami, participants were grouped
Speaker:Based on their favorite divas.
Speaker:Cher, Britney, Beyonce, or Madonna, To see if fans of the same icon
Speaker:could spark a match, Crush or Crash?
Speaker:I'm crushing on this idea, so I'm gonna go, Crush.
Speaker:That's very good Trey, you came up with that yourself?
Speaker:Yeah, but I thought it was too many details you would know it was fake.
Speaker:I kind of love it though, I think that like we should
Speaker:do this, let's open this up.
Speaker:It would be fun, right?
Speaker:We could open this up and.
Speaker:Well, I'm really glad that you got this wrong because your consequence
Speaker:is reveal which diva you would have chosen to be grouped with.
Speaker:And why?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And then do an impression of the chosen diva.
Speaker:Oh no!
Speaker:So Cher,
Speaker:Britney, Beyonce, or Madonna?
Speaker:Ooh, that's so
Speaker:hard.
Speaker:I gotta say it's between Cher and Madonna.
Speaker:Um, like, without question,
Speaker:Yeah, I'm sure you've seen both of them in Atlantic City.
Speaker:I have.
Speaker:I have to get to share.
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:I mean, like, I love Madonna.
Speaker:I love Madonna.
Speaker:Is it because it's an easier impression?
Speaker:Be honest.
Speaker:I'll do both.
Speaker:I'll do both because I can't choose.
Speaker:So, um, I'm really, but
Speaker:why, why did you, why is it
Speaker:between them?
Speaker:Okay, I just feel like she's an icon.
Speaker:She's a style icon, Sonny and Cher.
Speaker:I just feel like she reinvented herself.
Speaker:She's a diva.
Speaker:She's a diva who literally has had like 30 million farewell tours.
Speaker:Like she's like, I'm done.
Speaker:I'm never performing again.
Speaker:And then she comes back for more.
Speaker:And I think what, what's more diva than that?
Speaker:So obviously.
Speaker:Share because of that.
Speaker:And then why Madonna?
Speaker:I mean like Madonna is a cultural phenomenon.
Speaker:She's Lady Gaga, Britney Spears.
Speaker:So many people have pulled from her bravery and her art form and
Speaker:her willingness to be sexy and her willingness to be a cougar to sort
Speaker:of like fall on her face, own her sexuality, have cones on her tits.
Speaker:I mean so many things, so many iconic moments.
Speaker:She's, she's like the queen.
Speaker:She's the diva.
Speaker:She's Madonna, the single name starter.
Speaker:Anyway, need I say more?
Speaker:So God, I can't do impersonations.
Speaker:You guys horrible.
Speaker:Um, if I could turn back down
Speaker:and, um, cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:Did I do it?
Speaker:Very good.
Speaker:I love both of you.
Speaker:I'm sorry for the impersonations, but it was met with all the love in my heart.
Speaker:Well, I think you did a great job.
Speaker:You obviously are better at trivia than I ever will be, as
Speaker:evidenced by these versus episodes.
Speaker:And I think you did a tremendous job.
Speaker:And I think that having sat in this, I think I'm able to, to like tabulate.
Speaker:What do you think?
Speaker:I
Speaker:think, I think I feel.
Speaker:Ready to tabulate as well.
Speaker:All right, so let's crown.
Speaker:Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.
Speaker:In an effort to be fair and not influence one another, we will
Speaker:simultaneously reveal our ratings.
Speaker:The
Speaker:queens are tabulating.
Speaker:Total score.
Speaker:Okay, I'm holding up four crowns, Trey, you're holding up four and
Speaker:a half crowns, Trey, you go first.
Speaker:Four and a half crowns for Chris C.
Speaker:I forgot about all the spelling and all of that like emotional frenzy,
Speaker:but ultimately I don't know how true this is, but it occurs as truthful and
Speaker:regardless of if it's truthful or if it's shady or whatever, there are enough
Speaker:points that are expertly communicated that would make me do much deeper
Speaker:digging than this one review section.
Speaker:Um, I, I'm not sure how much of it is just coming with the territory, but I
Speaker:think Chris C does a really great job of like stopping you on the review page and
Speaker:like drawing your attention and like, you know, I think that's really skillful.
Speaker:I can't give you more than, like, I got to take at least half a crown.
Speaker:If you dangle a carrot in front of me, I'll dare you, give me that carrot.
Speaker:So that's why I said four and a half.
Speaker:Why did you say four?
Speaker:Okay, I said four for the following reasons.
Speaker:Reason one, they presented a lot of key evidence.
Speaker:Reason two, they seem to have had really a big case study with the five friends.
Speaker:I like that they brought that up.
Speaker:Like, okay, this is a lot of people experiencing it.
Speaker:Reason three, Um, Danny, reason four, like, really just, I'm
Speaker:sorry, I didn't mean that.
Speaker:Reason three, Danny, reason three, um, they really seem to be emotional
Speaker:about this, which makes me feel like it could be truthful because
Speaker:there's a lot of emotion here.
Speaker:And finally.
Speaker:Reason for like the drop of the shade was kind of like a nice amuse bouge.
Speaker:I just wish you would have taken it over the edge and given me the actual
Speaker:T. So for that reason, four crowns, I took off the crown for not giving
Speaker:me T and also the spelling errors.
Speaker:Yeah, no, I mean, it makes sense.
Speaker:I might be more in alignment with with the four now.
Speaker:Good job.
Speaker:Great find.
Speaker:Thank you.
Speaker:Well, Trey, we have to wait because there is
Speaker:a reply.
Speaker:There is a
Speaker:reply from Jen S., the business owner.
Speaker:OK, Okay, this is from Jen S., the business owner.
Speaker:She says, Hi, Chris.
Speaker:Thank you for your review.
Speaker:I wish I had read it back in 2014 when you wrote it.
Speaker:I assure you, we do not use stand ins or actors.
Speaker:I wish I had an explanation as to why you and your friends got matches
Speaker:who didn't follow up with you.
Speaker:If you would have written me back directly back then, I would have
Speaker:followed up with the men for you to find out why they hadn't reached out yet.
Speaker:I love helping people connect and making sure matches follow up with each other.
Speaker:While we can't guarantee that you and your matches will have future encounters,
Speaker:Our events work for a lot of people.
Speaker:I personally know of people who have gotten married for meeting,
Speaker:from meeting at our event.
Speaker:Results vary.
Speaker:Also, I wonder what you saw on Facebook to make you think two of the men who
Speaker:attended were married or in relationships.
Speaker:I promise you if we were made aware that someone is not single, we would
Speaker:ban them from our site immediately.
Speaker:Our events are for singles only, which depending on the age group
Speaker:of the event can include people who are divorced and are now single.
Speaker:If you are still single and looking, I invite you to give
Speaker:us a fresh try, on us of course.
Speaker:I'm certain that you would like many of the changes we
Speaker:have implemented since 2014.
Speaker:I don't like how they are like passing the blame.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You mean you weren't checking your reviews back in 2014?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If I would have read this back then, like maybe they hired
Speaker:a friggin crisis consultant.
Speaker:Well, it's like, I get the point of like, right to us directly, but it's
Speaker:like, also, I'm not coming back to you.
Speaker:That's insane.
Speaker:And then also the last little bit about all these changes that we've made.
Speaker:I'm like, what, what changes have you made?
Speaker:Because you're like speaking as if you're speaking about something,
Speaker:but you're not saying anything.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:How do you feel about this reply in general?
Speaker:So I, I don't know.
Speaker:I agree.
Speaker:I think that this is not gaining any favors.
Speaker:for the company.
Speaker:It seems blamey and weird.
Speaker:It's also weird.
Speaker:Wedding statistic seems inauthentic.
Speaker:And like why would you reply so many years later?
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:Yeah, it just seems odd.
Speaker:Would it look worse if they didn't reply?
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I'm, I'm, I'm having some red flags, though.
Speaker:It only encourages more red flags, unfortunately.
Speaker:Agree.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Well, now after hearing that reply, which I don't even know that we
Speaker:need to necessarily crown it.
Speaker:I think we know it's kind of, uh, One crowner.
Speaker:I'm even more curious to know what this five star has to say, Trey.
Speaker:How are you going to explain?
Speaker:How are you going to defend yourself?
Speaker:Well, now I have you
Speaker:just an actor.
Speaker:I have so much pressure now.
Speaker:I feel the responsibility here.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Well, I have a five star review from Yelp written by Elizabeth C and
Speaker:there is a photograph attached that we're going to need to be looking at.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Well, I can't wait for that.

Speaker:see.
