[Theme Song]
CHELSEY DONN:Hello.
TREY GERRALD:Hello.
TREY GERRALD:Welcome to Review That Review the podcast dedicated to reviewing
CHELSEY DONN:Reviews!
CHELSEY DONN:We're just like Siskel and Ebert only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we
TREY GERRALD:That's
TREY GERRALD:Chelsey
TREY GERRALD:Donn.
CHELSEY DONN:And that's Trey Gerrald or so I thought, but blonde and in
CHELSEY DONN:I'm
CHELSEY DONN:sure.
TREY GERRALD:Oh We will, and together Wig or not we are,
VOICEOVER:The Review Queens.
TREY GERRALD:And if you want to support the show while getting bonus and exclusive
TREY GERRALD:Hello.
TREY GERRALD:Do you like, do you like my look?
CHELSEY DONN:So I'm wondering like, so Trey is wearing a blonde wig.
CHELSEY DONN:It's like, it's kind of giving me like Garth vibes a little bit.
CHELSEY DONN:But it's also a lovely luscious blonde wig.
CHELSEY DONN:And then we have these very large gold wire framed glasses.
TREY GERRALD:Yes, these
TREY GERRALD:are well, okay.
TREY GERRALD:I'm wearing this wig in honor of the fact that Scream 2022 came out last week.
TREY GERRALD:Oh.
TREY GERRALD:And we're recording this a little early, so, um, I haven't seen it, but in reality in real time
TREY GERRALD:and so this was thoughts.
TREY GERRALD:We'll have thoughts, but this was the wig that I made for my women of scream series when I
CHELSEY DONN:Did you just say made, you made the wig?
TREY GERRALD:Well, I didn't sew the wig, but I straightened it out, like with steam, a steamer.
TREY GERRALD:And I had to like pluck all of the strands of hair out at the center to make the center part.
TREY GERRALD:Cause she has a very specific center part, but I don't shave everyday.
TREY GERRALD:So now I, it looks like Garth because I have facial hair and it kind of looks.
TREY GERRALD:You know, it's, you're not like a cute female presenting person, then
TREY GERRALD:So I'm very excited for Scream!
CHELSEY DONN:It's very Hair vibes.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh my God.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm so excited for you.
CHELSEY DONN:I know how much you love that.
CHELSEY DONN:So that's great.
TREY GERRALD:Um, so tell me about your week.
TREY GERRALD:What's going on.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh my God.
CHELSEY DONN:You guys.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay, so let's talk about this.
CHELSEY DONN:I love dogs.
CHELSEY DONN:I love.
CHELSEY DONN:Puppy.
CHELSEY DONN:Like I can't imagine my life without an animal, but that being said, I just want to take a
CHELSEY DONN:Like, it's just a lot of work.
CHELSEY DONN:We go through a lot of phases.
CHELSEY DONN:She's always barking all the time.
CHELSEY DONN:I don't know what to do.
CHELSEY DONN:And always at the most inopportune times, like during a very important zoom
CHELSEY DONN:So it's probably my fault.
CHELSEY DONN:I should bring her to get trained, but she, you guys want to see like, Patreon, I guess, Goldie
CHELSEY DONN:Um, it's been decapitated.
CHELSEY DONN:Isn't that great.
CHELSEY DONN:I've never had a dog that like decapitated toys like this, especially not like a five pound
CHELSEY DONN:RIP rubber chicken.
TREY GERRALD:Wow.
TREY GERRALD:Good job.
TREY GERRALD:Goldie
CHELSEY DONN:really got her aggression out.
CHELSEY DONN:So I don't know guys, anyone have any tips?
CHELSEY DONN:Call, call the voicemail, leave a message.
CHELSEY DONN:Tell me how to stop a puppy.
CHELSEY DONN:From boredom barking.
CHELSEY DONN:Cause I work from home and so she's around, you know, while I'm working and I, we gotta stop.
CHELSEY DONN:We gotta, I can't, I know that was a complaint and I just logged right in trey, but
VOICEOVER:Lodge A Complaint!
CHELSEY DONN:add that to the ledger, please.
TREY GERRALD:I'm glad that you did that because it's very reminiscent of couple of weeks ago when
CHELSEY DONN:It's true.
CHELSEY DONN:I was going to say, I know I'm a hipocrite I love the dogs, but the puppy
TREY GERRALD:you know, I think that everything in life has a ying and a yang, I think.
CHELSEY DONN:True.
TREY GERRALD:It's understandable.
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:That's a great point.
CHELSEY DONN:Do you have anything you'd like to talk about something you'd like to get off your chest?
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:So.
TREY GERRALD:this is a, this can be a 'more you know' moment.
TREY GERRALD:It really bothers me when people refer to Broadway musical cast recordings as soundtracks,
CHELSEY DONN:...Interesting.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:It makes me furious.
Let me explain:a soundtrack is a released compilation of musical scoring from a film.
Let me explain:Sure that's called a sound track.
Let me explain:Okay.
Let me explain:A cast recording is a complete composition with lyrics for a Broadway musical.
Let me explain:That's not a soundtrack.
Let me explain:A soundtrack is for feature films.
Let me explain:A Cast Recording is for an art form called a musical and it's, I just hate,
Let me explain:I go into a, I go into a conversation inside of my head.
CHELSEY DONN:You turn into Carrie, the musical.
TREY GERRALD:It hap yes, it happens a lot when people want to seem intelligent
TREY GERRALD:And they're like talking about, no, I love musicals.
TREY GERRALD:I have like so many soundtracks.
TREY GERRALD:It's like, you just exposed yourself.
TREY GERRALD:You liar.
TREY GERRALD:Anyway, I think there, you know, we're fortunate that we can speak language so we should learn
TREY GERRALD:Thank you.
CHELSEY DONN:Cast recording.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm sure I've made that mistake.
CHELSEY DONN:And--
TREY GERRALD:You went to Tisch!
CHELSEY DONN:I understand this.
CHELSEY DONN:I, I still think I might've said that.
CHELSEY DONN:I don't know cast recording.
CHELSEY DONN:I mean,
CHELSEY DONN:-- TREY GERRALD: Do it again, Chelsey,
CHELSEY DONN:It's a cast recording.
CHELSEY DONN:I love a good cast recording.
CHELSEY DONN:Do you remember the first cast recording you ever owned as a kid?
TREY GERRALD:Whoa, what a very good question.
TREY GERRALD:I would imagine that the very first cast recording I owned was.
TREY GERRALD:Les Miz on cassette.
TREY GERRALD:It was a tape, but that was my sisters for sure.
TREY GERRALD:But I would listen to it in the car.
TREY GERRALD:I specifically remember, you know, I went to a boarding school and so it
TREY GERRALD:And so when my dad would drive me, I have a very vivid memory of when I purchased the hairspray
TREY GERRALD:And my poor dad would just drive me the 90 minutes and we would listen to wicked and hairspray.
TREY GERRALD:So gay, what about you?
TREY GERRALD:Do you have a memory
TREY GERRALD:? CHELSEY DONN: I do.
TREY GERRALD:I, I remember getting the cast recording.
TREY GERRALD:I want to say for the, the grease production that Rosie O'Donald was in, maybe I just love
TREY GERRALD:What can I have say...
TREY GERRALD:in my living room?
TREY GERRALD:And I suppose my family was around, but they were kind enough to ignore me, I guess.
TREY GERRALD:Love a good cast recording.
TREY GERRALD:Oh, that's fun.
TREY GERRALD:Thank you for humoring.
TREY GERRALD:Me, everyone.
TREY GERRALD:And you know, if you've made the mistake, it's okay.
TREY GERRALD:You can forgive yourself.
TREY GERRALD:Just learn from your mistakes.
CHELSEY DONN:You know what?
CHELSEY DONN:There's so many teachable moments.
CHELSEY DONN:That happen to us every day.
CHELSEY DONN:So there might as well be another one, you know, and with all this like joy education, balancing of
CHELSEY DONN:Trey?
TREY GERRALD:I think it's tiiime!
TREY GERRALD:As you all know.
TREY GERRALD:We are your trusty Review!
TREY GERRALD:Queens.
TREY GERRALD:Each week, we bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected.
CHELSEY DONN:We read you the review!
CHELSEY DONN:break it down and rate the impact of the review on a scale from one to five crowns,
VOICEOVER:Assess That Kvetch.
CHELSEY DONN:And you trey are first
TREY GERRALD:party in the U S A'.
CHELSEY DONN:take it away, RQ.
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:Speaking of Yinging and Yanging, I today am going to present a one star review from target.com for
TREY GERRALD:And this one-star review is written by a user named IHeartRainbowChip.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh, no, this is like already very intriguing.
CHELSEY DONN:So there, there, okay, so this is a one-star review written by
TREY GERRALD:Correct.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:I cannot wait to hear what IHeartRainbowChip has this.
CHELSEY DONN:I take it away.
TREY GERRALD:Here we go.
TREY GERRALD:Why in the world, would you switch the Rainbow Chips for sprinkles?
TREY GERRALD:I was planning on using Rainbow Chip Frosting on my sister's birthday cake,
TREY GERRALD:Unfortunately it was nowhere to be found and I sadly bought this instead
TREY GERRALD:They don't taste good.
TREY GERRALD:They don't feel good.
TREY GERRALD:They are just there!
TREY GERRALD:Rainbow Chips, on the other hand, are so delicious that I will eat it by the spoonful.
TREY GERRALD:Would I ever be tempted by the sprinkles enough to do that?
TREY GERRALD:Why?
TREY GERRALD:No, no, I wouldn't!
TREY GERRALD:Giving up the Rainbow Chips for sprinkles is like saying you'd rather have an outhouse.
TREY GERRALD:Rather than indoor plumbing at your home, I'll be waiting for the return of Rainbow Chip Frosting.
TREY GERRALD:Please bring it back.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh my God.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:So here's what I'm confused about.
CHELSEY DONN:Right off the bat.
CHELSEY DONN:Are they accusing Betty Crocker of masquerading Rainbow Chip Frosting as a product that doesn't in
CHELSEY DONN:Or, are they writing this review on a product that target no longer has in stock
CHELSEY DONN:Because the alternative is the one with the rainbow sprinkles and that's not acceptable.
CHELSEY DONN:What is it that IHeartRainbowChip?
CHELSEY DONN:Do You, you think is saying?
TREY GERRALD:Well, I did a little research and I found myself on Betty
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:Just so you know, IHeartRainbowChip's Review!
TREY GERRALD:is from seven years ago.
TREY GERRALD:Now this article from Betty Crocker was written in 2017.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:So this review is written in 2005.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:Got it.
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:Thank you for doing that math.
TREY GERRALD:Cause I couldn't do that.
TREY GERRALD:So this FAQ specifically for Rainbow Chip Frosting has 11 FAQ's.
TREY GERRALD:I'm not going to read them all, but basically the jest here is in the mid 1980s,
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:They say Betty Crocker, discontinued Rainbow Chip, because we believed that consumers
CHELSEY DONN:Interesting.
TREY GERRALD:But we heard people loud and clear that chips in the frosting
TREY GERRALD:And there is no.
TREY GERRALD:Substitute.
TREY GERRALD:We were blown away by the passion to bring Rainbow Chip back and we've
CHELSEY DONN:Wow.
TREY GERRALD:And it says Benjamin Johnson was one of the most vocal quote
TREY GERRALD:He started a change.org.
TREY GERRALD:Campaign that received almost 7,000 signatures.
TREY GERRALD:And this really got our attention.
TREY GERRALD:We received feedback from so many people who love Rainbow Chip, and we felt that Benjamin
TREY GERRALD:And this is the final FAQ.
TREY GERRALD:It's very important.
TREY GERRALD:How is Katy Perry involved in this?
TREY GERRALD:We received a tweet from Katy Perry last year, telling us that we ruined her birthday.
TREY GERRALD:It turns out Katy Perry is a big fan and we wanted to let her know that we're
TREY GERRALD:So, wow.
TREY GERRALD:Betty Crocker decided to discontinue this product.
CHELSEY DONN:And then based on the influence of reviewers and people that voiced their opinion.
CHELSEY DONN:They brought the product back!!
TREY GERRALD:But I do know cause one of the other FAQ is, is that they
TREY GERRALD:And then when they decided to bring Rainbow Chip back, they stopped production on rainbow sprinkle.
TREY GERRALD:So it's curious to me that IHeartRainbowChip wrote this review on a, I'm assuming an old
CHELSEY DONN:Right.
TREY GERRALD:Cause it's actually, I think a review of rainbow sprinkle being subpar.
CHELSEY DONN:Yes.
CHELSEY DONN:I agree that the Review!
CHELSEY DONN:is categorized under the wrong product,
TREY GERRALD:-Unless they did it in both places
CHELSEY DONN:they might have.
CHELSEY DONN:They very well might have.
CHELSEY DONN:That's a good point.
CHELSEY DONN:So, okay.
CHELSEY DONN:So if it is what I'm picturing and it is that chocolate inside thing, but I can
CHELSEY DONN:Are vastly different vastly.
CHELSEY DONN:One of them is essentially sugar, you know, and the other one is more of a actual treat.
CHELSEY DONN:The experience of eating both of those items is remarkably different.
CHELSEY DONN:So I can understand why somebody like IHeartRainbowChip, who hearts Rainbow Chips
CHELSEY DONN:But my question is, is it really the fault of the sprinkle that it's not a rainbow chip?
TREY GERRALD:That thank you, actually, I get that.
TREY GERRALD:That's funny.
TREY GERRALD:But also that was really occurring to me.
TREY GERRALD:What do you think about the idea of eating the frosting by the spoonful
CHELSEY DONN:Delish!
CHELSEY DONN:Why not?
TREY GERRALD:I know, but something about that makes me feel like so many such a reckless
TREY GERRALD:You know what I mean?
CHELSEY DONN:I mean, it's not something that I, I do, but like, if I'm watching
CHELSEY DONN:I'm not going to be like, whoa, what a weirdo?
CHELSEY DONN:Like I don't, I think we've spoken about this.
CHELSEY DONN:Neither of us.
CHELSEY DONN:I don't think are very much like sweets lovers.
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah, me too.
CHELSEY DONN:Anyway.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:Let's, let's focus in on this.
CHELSEY DONN:Review!
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:Do you think that there's anything valuable new or unique about this review?
CHELSEY DONN:Not on the, not on the forum that it lies, you know, now on
CHELSEY DONN:for target, where they presently selling the frosting icing?
TREY GERRALD:Yeah Because it's now a 2022.
TREY GERRALD:So like,
CHELSEY DONN:and it's back.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah and this review is still there.
CHELSEY DONN:And this Review!
CHELSEY DONN:right.
CHELSEY DONN:So, no, unfortunately the Review!
CHELSEY DONN:isn't relevant.
CHELSEY DONN:However, I like that you pointed out that Betty Crocker did in fact.
CHELSEY DONN:Put a voice to the voiceless, you know, and, and acknowledge people like IHeartRainbowChip,
CHELSEY DONN:You know?
CHELSEY DONN:there will likely be somebody that will read this Review!
CHELSEY DONN:and feel IHeartRainbowChips pain, right?
TREY GERRALD:Yes.
TREY GERRALD:It is surrounded by other reviews saying this is horrible.
TREY GERRALD:Why did you change.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh, interesting.
CHELSEY DONN:Are people saying that that's different from the product that was available prior
TREY GERRALD:No.
TREY GERRALD:They went back.
TREY GERRALD:It is the same product.
TREY GERRALD:Right.
TREY GERRALD:But all of these reviews remain when they were out of production.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:What do you think about the metaphor being similar to an
CHELSEY DONN:I mean, I really laughed before that.
CHELSEY DONN:I don't know what I found so funny before that.
CHELSEY DONN:Why?
CHELSEY DONN:No, no, I wouldn't.
CHELSEY DONN:I think I just thought that that was really funny.
TREY GERRALD:Why no!
CHELSEY DONN:Why.
CHELSEY DONN:No, no, I wouldn't.
CHELSEY DONN:I, I dunno.
CHELSEY DONN:I thought it was kind of funny.
CHELSEY DONN:I mean, I definitely got a couple chuckles out of it, so I'll give a, I'll
CHELSEY DONN:You know, I got, I got a chuckle.
TREY GERRALD:It's interesting because I think with the context clues of going
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah, I don't think there's any value here.
CHELSEY DONN:Um, no, not now.
CHELSEY DONN:You know, I don't think that anybody going to this product page today will
TREY GERRALD:Which is a very interesting conversation.
TREY GERRALD:Why is target.com not scrubbing the Review!?
CHELSEY DONN:Because it just takes way too much time.
CHELSEY DONN:And they all like outsource.
CHELSEY DONN:I was talking to a friend that was telling me that there's a Review!
CHELSEY DONN:company that handles all of these reviews.
CHELSEY DONN:Apparently I should figure that out and tell you guys the name of it, but they're
CHELSEY DONN:We're not seeing that we're seeing target.com on our side, but really they outsourced.
CHELSEY DONN:This kind of stuff.
CHELSEY DONN:So it doesn't surprise me that a lot of these reviews don't end up getting
CHELSEY DONN:Uh, inappropriate about the Review!, you know?
TREY GERRALD:It just is inaccurate at this point.
CHELSEY DONN:It's just, maybe it's, it's, uh, residually impactful that maybe I wouldn't get
CHELSEY DONN:Like I don't mind a rainbow sprinkle moment.
CHELSEY DONN:And if I was going in for a rainbow sprinkle moment, I feel like I would
CHELSEY DONN:So the impact here is limited.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah, yeah.
TREY GERRALD:Pretty low.
TREY GERRALD:I think I can crowd.
TREY GERRALD:I gotcha.
TREY GERRALD:All right, let's do it.
TREY GERRALD:And that was fun.
TREY GERRALD:So Chelsey and I each have our own set of one to five crown cards and in an effort to be
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
VOICEOVER:Total Score!
TREY GERRALD:Oh my gosh!
CHELSEY DONN:Two crowns, two crowns.
TREY GERRALD:Interesting.
CHELSEY DONN:The Queens are unanimous.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:I'll go first.
CHELSEY DONN:Roy G Bev.
CHELSEY DONN:I gave iHeartRainbow two crowns because I got a chuckle.
CHELSEY DONN:And I appreciated their passion and I appreciated that they were part of this posse, uh, like
CHELSEY DONN:Johnson
TREY GERRALD:Benjamin Johnson,
CHELSEY DONN:Benjamin Johnson.
CHELSEY DONN:Sorry, not Don Johnson.
CHELSEY DONN:Benjamin Johnson were able to convince Betty Crocker to bring back a product.
CHELSEY DONN:And for that I'll applaud them and give them the two crowns.
CHELSEY DONN:I had to take all the other cons away because at the end of the day, this is not a useful Review!.
CHELSEY DONN:How about you Trey?
CHELSEY DONN:Why two crowns?
TREY GERRALD:I mean, literally, ditto.
TREY GERRALD:It's not valuable anymore.
TREY GERRALD:The spelling, and grammar was fine, but this fine truthful yes.
TREY GERRALD:Common experience we've found out.
TREY GERRALD:Yes.
TREY GERRALD:Humorous kind.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:Kind of.
TREY GERRALD:Cause it's just funny.
TREY GERRALD:They're so impassioned.
TREY GERRALD:But the impact is like zero at this point, also huge kudos to Betty Crocker
TREY GERRALD:But yeah.
TREY GERRALD:So that's, that's why.
CHELSEY DONN:Love that Reply from Owner!
TREY GERRALD:Amen.
TREY GERRALD:Uh, Okie-dokie let's take a quick break.
TREY GERRALD:And when we come back, we can get into Chelsey's.

TREY GERRALD:And then I was like, oh my gosh,
CHELSEY DONN:there was like an Italian dialogue.
CHELSEY DONN:I think it was like an Italian production of Shakespeare.
CHELSEY DONN:Anyway.

TREY GERRALD:from this week?
CHELSEY DONN:Thank you for asking Trey.
CHELSEY DONN:So I wanted to take a little departure this week.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm actually bringing in a five star review today from Daughter's Deli here in Los Angeles.
CHELSEY DONN:Daughter's Deli is a deli in west Hollywood.
CHELSEY DONN:That was started from the daughter.
CHELSEY DONN:Of, I guess he would be the grandson, the daughter of the grandson of the creator
CHELSEY DONN:Cause I've not been able to find a deli that I love.
CHELSEY DONN:And it was so good.
CHELSEY DONN:You guys like, um, I mean, just like quick plug for Daughter's, Deli, cause it was delicious.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:And I did what I usually do, which is I went into the search bar and I searched for some
CHELSEY DONN:And so that's what I was searching for latkes and I came across this Review!
CHELSEY DONN:that I wanted to share with you guys today.
CHELSEY DONN:So, this is a five-star review from Yelp, for Daughter's Deli from Bruce K., who is an
CHELSEY DONN:And here we go.
CHELSEY DONN:Let's figure out something about Yelp reviews and it will help you enormously to know
CHELSEY DONN:Any review that complains about the cost?
CHELSEY DONN:Every Yelp page has an online menu.
CHELSEY DONN:Try checking it before you bemoan that your tuna sandwich costs 14 bucks.
CHELSEY DONN:And you think Subway is better?
CHELSEY DONN:You're A.
CHELSEY DONN:Delusional and B.
CHELSEY DONN:You deserve to eat at Subway.
CHELSEY DONN:Legit complaints are always welcome and fine.
CHELSEY DONN:And we have a few here that all say the same thing.
CHELSEY DONN:Order placed via a delivery service.
CHELSEY DONN:Food's not ready.
CHELSEY DONN:Delivery service kept waiting for a long period of time.
CHELSEY DONN:I'll get to that in a minute, but let's cut to the chase, shall we?
CHELSEY DONN:I, just this minute, finished eating a meal delivered from
CHELSEY DONN:Was it cheap?
CHELSEY DONN:No.
CHELSEY DONN:Please inform me of a deli that's cheap.
CHELSEY DONN:Hint, you can't.
CHELSEY DONN:Delis aren't cheap.
CHELSEY DONN:The end.
CHELSEY DONN:Was it worth the dough.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh my, yes.
CHELSEY DONN:Here's why.
CHELSEY DONN:I almost ordered what I normally get at daughter's dad's jernt.
CHELSEY DONN:The pastrami with Russian dressing and coleslaw.
CHELSEY DONN:But at the last minute I switched to the Turkey version.
CHELSEY DONN:I also got the latkas, potato pancakes.
CHELSEY DONN:I scheduled the food to arrive between two and two 30.
CHELSEY DONN:It arrived at three 30, but I'm about five or six miles away.
CHELSEY DONN:So not too bad, but if you're of a distance.
CHELSEY DONN:Sure, Perhaps expect a delay.
CHELSEY DONN:With Postmates, you can follow the entire experience.
CHELSEY DONN:And once the Postmate arrived at the restaurant, it all went pretty quickly,
CHELSEY DONN:How was it?
CHELSEY DONN:Simply put, the sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.
CHELSEY DONN:It was spectacularly good.
CHELSEY DONN:Everything was just perfection and the potato pancakes of which there were three.
CHELSEY DONN:We're every bit as good as Langers.
CHELSEY DONN:And there are a lot smaller, which I appreciated actually.
CHELSEY DONN:So eating the three is really like eating one and a quarter of a Langers latke.
CHELSEY DONN:Basically food heaven.
CHELSEY DONN:And you already know I'm the only person you can trust on Yelp smiley face.
CHELSEY DONN:So if you love Deli.
CHELSEY DONN:You already know that Langer's is the BEST in the United States.
CHELSEY DONN:Yes.
CHELSEY DONN:Better than Kats.
CHELSEY DONN:IMO.
CHELSEY DONN:And now we have the daughter version and it's every bit as wonderful without having
CHELSEY DONN:And there you have it.
CHELSEY DONN:I have to now go plots.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh, my God, Bruce
TREY GERRALD:Wait.
TREY GERRALD:Plots means like you're like resting.
TREY GERRALD:You're like tired.
CHELSEY DONN:I'm so exhausted.
TREY GERRALD:Right.
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:Whoa.
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:So I feel like.
TREY GERRALD:I've got a plotz because Bruce.
TREY GERRALD:Wow.
TREY GERRALD:Okay.
TREY GERRALD:Wait.
TREY GERRALD:So funny to me, there was a huge journey on this Review!
TREY GERRALD:because it felt like Bruce is as the instructor of Yelp Academy.
TREY GERRALD:Like, I felt like Bruce was speaking to me.
TREY GERRALD:Like I've never heard of the word Yelp before.
CHELSEY DONN:Yes.
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:So obviously there's a level of pompousness, whatever you want to call it to Bruce,
CHELSEY DONN:As soon as I read it, when I started reading it, I thought is that it, is
CHELSEY DONN:Like he's coming to the defense.
CHELSEY DONN:So hard.
CHELSEY DONN:But then when I realized he's an elite reviewer and he's written, you know, 244
CHELSEY DONN:And he really obviously considers himself an expert and takes the elite status very seriously.
TREY GERRALD:Do You think that he prefaces every review with like, let me tell you how to trust
CHELSEY DONN:Well, it is specific though.
CHELSEY DONN:Like maybe like the first sentence, I guess, maybe he copies and pastes all the time.
CHELSEY DONN:But I do think that there's a lot of queenly points that Bruce makes in the beginning that
CHELSEY DONN:I don't care.
CHELSEY DONN:What I care about is was the food good or bad?
CHELSEY DONN:Now the point of the pricing and the dig it like, then you deserve to be at Subway.
CHELSEY DONN:Like, God, that was a bit of a low blow.
CHELSEY DONN:You want to talk about it?
CHELSEY DONN:Talk,
TREY GERRALD:what does that even mean?
TREY GERRALD:Um, okay.
TREY GERRALD:I guess I can extrapolate that Bruce is making A'..
TREY GERRALD:Right there, there are clarifying the difference in a quality of a deli versus a chain deli.
TREY GERRALD:But like subway is fine.
TREY GERRALD:Like who cares?
TREY GERRALD:Yes.
TREY GERRALD:They used to make bread that had the same ingredient that's inside yoga
CHELSEY DONN:Is that true?!
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:It was a whole thing.
TREY GERRALD:That was like a preservative.
CHELSEY DONN:Oh my goodness.
TREY GERRALD:That's crazy dis.
CHELSEY DONN:I think that you're the perfect person to receive that between
TREY GERRALD:Oh good point!
CHELSEY DONN:And like you, you grew up on a lot of this, you know, no judgment, but like you
CHELSEY DONN:And so you're, you know, understandably.
CHELSEY DONN:So I think that's going to hit you a little bit harder.
TREY GERRALD:Bruce got me!
TREY GERRALD:Bruce got me right where I live!
CHELSEY DONN:Right in the fast food co Kish, because as I say, um, all right, so
CHELSEY DONN:Don't come to Yelp to complain about the pricing or the delivery speed or any of this stuff.
CHELSEY DONN:Because at the end of the day, you're just clogging the chain as we liked, you know, as
CHELSEY DONN:It's, it's just a thing it's expensive to run a deli.
CHELSEY DONN:The food at delis is typically pretty expensive in exchange for like good
CHELSEY DONN:It's like a whole eating, like you're not just getting a $15 sandwich.
CHELSEY DONN:You're usually getting a $15 sandwich that like is a big.
CHELSEY DONN:Sizable sandwich and a little bit of a side and a pickle.
CHELSEY DONN:Like that's what you're getting at a deli.
CHELSEY DONN:So if you're looking at the menu and you're like, damn 14 bucks is too much for me to
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:I think the distinction is like, even though Subway's slogan is eat fresh, it isn't fresh.
TREY GERRALD:It's from bags.
TREY GERRALD:And when you go to like an upscale deli, you know, they're making the macaroni salad every day.
TREY GERRALD:They're making fresh vegetables every day, every day, oftentimes they're baking their own bread.
TREY GERRALD:Um, so that's like,
CHELSEY DONN:yes, the food was so good.
CHELSEY DONN:You guys, like everything was amazing.
CHELSEY DONN:And top, top, even just like, you know, I'm really picky about my T my to go containers.
CHELSEY DONN:Even the, to go containers were great.
CHELSEY DONN:Like everything.
CHELSEY DONN:Was perfect about my delivery experience.
CHELSEY DONN:So I understand Bruce has passion here because he's saying your you're not
CHELSEY DONN:If you're commenting on these other things,
TREY GERRALD:I have a question going into spelling here.
TREY GERRALD:You said.
TREY GERRALD:Dad's jernt.
CHELSEY DONN:So that I w I, yeah, so I want to say that that's, that is the right spelling.
CHELSEY DONN:Like that's, I think that's an age thing.
TREY GERRALD:Jernt?!
CHELSEY DONN:Jernt.
CHELSEY DONN:Yes.
CHELSEY DONN:Look it up right now.
CHELSEY DONN:J E R N T.
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:It's a word.
CHELSEY DONN:It means joint.
CHELSEY DONN:it is an acceptable alternative to the word joint.
CHELSEY DONN:Now there's, there's no doubt in my mind that Bruce Kay would put a review on
TREY GERRALD:It like a thesaurus thing.
TREY GERRALD:So, okay.
TREY GERRALD:Similarly, when you're saying, when Bruce's dictating, how spectacularly
TREY GERRALD:Good.
TREY GERRALD:D D is that smell there or did you just act that.
TREY GERRALD:Oh, damn it.
TREY GERRALD:I thought for sure that it was like MMM P H
VOICEOVER:no, sorry.
CHELSEY DONN:I artistic expression there.
CHELSEY DONN:I lose having a moment of eating the sandwich myself.
TREY GERRALD:Well, okay.
TREY GERRALD:I do want to just say here it tickled me the precision at which Bruce dictates
TREY GERRALD:So actually, when you're eating at, it's basically a quarter of the size when you're
TREY GERRALD:I thought was like, obviously this is,
CHELSEY DONN:oh my god.
CHELSEY DONN:You're right.
CHELSEY DONN:So eating the three is really like eating one and a quarter of a Langer's latke.
TREY GERRALD:One and a quarter.
CHELSEY DONN:Yes, I guess I gloss over that, but yeah, that's so funny.
TREY GERRALD:Wait.
TREY GERRALD:So how old do you think Bruce is?
TREY GERRALD:Just, what do you think?
CHELSEY DONN:So Bruce does have a little photo here, but it looks like, so I think
CHELSEY DONN:I think that Bruce was like a food critic or something back in the day, uh, some sort
CHELSEY DONN:Is him with his head in his hand like this, and it's a black and white headshot.
CHELSEY DONN:I want to say this headshot is probably at least 20 years old.
CHELSEY DONN:So I, I think Bruce is like probably around our parents' age.
CHELSEY DONN:Maybe a little bit old.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:I was thinking that as well.
TREY GERRALD:You know, I keep wondering, and this is like neither here nor there, but I'm so
TREY GERRALD:I just automatically think they must be in a huge fight.
CHELSEY DONN:They're not though.
CHELSEY DONN:That's what that is.
CHELSEY DONN:Honestly.
CHELSEY DONN:I think what makes this so great.
CHELSEY DONN:Like when you go on the daughter's deli website, um, they have a whole
CHELSEY DONN:Intro about us, about how this happened and how it's changed and how this is like a
TREY GERRALD:inspired by
CHELSEY DONN:it's inspired by it's drawn from that.
CHELSEY DONN:Like, it's just a continuation of this, of this family thing.
CHELSEY DONN:Not, not a departure from.
TREY GERRALD:So we, okay.
TREY GERRALD:We know about spelling and grammar.
TREY GERRALD:Yes.
TREY GERRALD:Truthful shady.
TREY GERRALD:I think, you know, it is interesting.
TREY GERRALD:Cause I do think that Bruce really dapples in shady areas, but is telling truth.
CHELSEY DONN:And that was really why he brought the reviews.
CHELSEY DONN:So I was like, Bruce is a little shady.
TREY GERRALD:It really took me a while to figure out why it was five stars because the whole,
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:Which, which also
CHELSEY DONN:-- Or, instructionary,
TREY GERRALD:it's sort of like, look, people don't know how to Yelp properly.
TREY GERRALD:Let me tell you how to do it.
CHELSEY DONN:Right.
TREY GERRALD:So like that has an impact on me.
CHELSEY DONN:Which is why I think that Bruce is like an editorial writer.
CHELSEY DONN:Cause I feel like this Review!
CHELSEY DONN:would like better serve as like a letter to everybody writing reviews on Yelp
TREY GERRALD:oh gosh, can you imagine reading that?
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah.
CHELSEY DONN:I mean, if I didn't.
CHELSEY DONN:Uh, search for the, so when you search on Yelp for word, like, I searched for latkes
CHELSEY DONN:I might've been a little annoyed that I had to read like this huge Trey is currently
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:So.
CHELSEY DONN:The word that you search is bolded.
CHELSEY DONN:So I was able to go right to the section of vs Review That told me that like, that the
CHELSEY DONN:I was like, Ugh, in getting them.
CHELSEY DONN:I think if I was just someone that was going to Yelp to look for a review
CHELSEY DONN:Pun intended before we get to the nitty gritty of the food.
CHELSEY DONN:And there's something that's almost ironic about Bruce talking about all these people essentially
CHELSEY DONN:When he then.
CHELSEY DONN:Proceeds to waste the time of the reviewer, but because we had to get through that
CHELSEY DONN:The, you know, the quality of the lockers and et cetera, et cetera.
CHELSEY DONN:I don't know.
CHELSEY DONN:What do you think about that?
TREY GERRALD:I was going to talk about that in my crowning.
TREY GERRALD:Cause it does, it takes a while to get to any meat, but, but it is funny to me,
TREY GERRALD:That's like get off of my yard,
CHELSEY DONN:Yeah like, you kids belong in the yelp trash bin.
CHELSEY DONN:I'd tell you.
TREY GERRALD:Yeah.
TREY GERRALD:Which so I'm very curious about crowning though.
TREY GERRALD:Cause I'm, I'm really have like eight minds on this review.
CHELSEY DONN:I will say, unlike the humor and I was, I was definitely tickled and that
CHELSEY DONN:I don't mean it that way, but you know, I was deaf.
CHELSEY DONN:Like there was a part of me that did find it, like funny in, in like that, that way.
CHELSEY DONN:So I don't know.
CHELSEY DONN:I think we can crown it.
CHELSEY DONN:Are you ready to crown it?
CHELSEY DONN:I think
TREY GERRALD:I'm ready.
TREY GERRALD:Let's do it.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating!
VOICEOVER:Total Score!
CHELSEY DONN:Okay.
CHELSEY DONN:So Trey's holding up three crowns, I'm holding up three and a half crowns.
CHELSEY DONN:So we're very close.
CHELSEY DONN:Trey.
CHELSEY DONN:Tell us why you gave Bruce 3 crowns.
TREY GERRALD:I'm surprised that were similar enough because something about this Review!
TREY GERRALD:is a huge turnoff to me.
TREY GERRALD:I don't like being told what is so.
TREY GERRALD:I recognize the points, the value of like stop clogging up the Yelp.
TREY GERRALD:But sometimes people use the delivery service at the restaurant.
TREY GERRALD:It has nothing to do with Postmates.
TREY GERRALD:So just anytime someone speaks in and grand statements that is triggering to me,
TREY GERRALD:That's my people.
TREY GERRALD:There's a, there's a pompousness to Bruce that is sort of off-putting to me, but I gave
TREY GERRALD:And if Bruce is this opinionated, when they are being positive about
TREY GERRALD:And so, and I do believe because we didn't even talk about this, but Bruce quotes so many famous
TREY GERRALD:I feel like they've done a lot of research and, and in conclusion, It
TREY GERRALD:And so for that reason, I, I took some crowns away because I think just get to it as I ramble on.
TREY GERRALD:So that's why I said three crowns.
TREY GERRALD:Chelsey, why did you say three and one half?
CHELSEY DONN:I agree with everything you said, I will just add, I needed to give
CHELSEY DONN:seeing what he had to say about the latkas.
CHELSEY DONN:I was like, I'm in, I placed the order and then I ordered the food and they were actually delicious.
CHELSEY DONN:So I feel like my feelings about Bruce, even though agreed.
CHELSEY DONN:It's kind of obnoxious, but let's cut to the chase and then, but let's cut to the next chase.
CHELSEY DONN:I mean, there's a little something that's almost too cheeky in it for me, but that
CHELSEY DONN:Can't wait to see what else is out there.
CHELSEY DONN:And for that reason I gave Bruce K.
CHELSEY DONN:You know, even though he could have been a little bit more of a mench, I gave him three and a half.
TREY GERRALD:I'm curious about other Bruce Kay reviews.
TREY GERRALD:Good job.
TREY GERRALD:Very funny Daughter's Deli I'll have to go there in March.
