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:

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:

Into the world of speed dating, specifically focusing on the review

Speaker:

section of Yelp for NY Minute Dating.

Speaker:

At the time of this recording, NY Minute Dating has 66 reviews on

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:

Okay, I put that in that order, so that isn't copy pasted.

Speaker:

Now I'm sure you'll see the graphics.

Speaker:

Now.

Speaker:

This is all copy pasted.

Speaker:

They specialize in speed dating events and singles parties for

Speaker:

busy New York professionals.

Speaker:

So if you're not a professional, you cannot come.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

Events such as Indians Singles Speed Dating, Asian Singles Speed Dating,

Speaker:

Latino, singles, speed dating, African American, singles, speed dating, and

Speaker:

we also do categories as cougars and cubs, speed dating, parentheses for

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

parties for all major occasions such as New Year's 4th of July Memorial Day

Speaker:

weekend etc and in the summer We have singles boat cruises around Manhattan.

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:

I mean, I'll

Speaker:

see.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

mean, that's to assume that the bartender was being honest, but I feel

Speaker:

like what does the bartender have to

Speaker:

lose?

Speaker:

What does the bartender have to lose their job?

Speaker:

Maybe

Speaker:

they probably don't care.

Speaker:
