Everybody's got an opinion.

Every Californian and Virginian.

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

Someone's gotta settle the score.

Trey and Chelsey will help you choose.

Who's views win, which ones lose.

Online haters are coming for you.

Baby, it's time to Review That Review.

Hello

Well, hi there and welcome to Review That Review, the

reviews,

that is Chelsey Donn,

and that is Trey Gerrald.

and together we are,

The Review Queens,

but first, Chelsey 'I offer you the stage two.

Lodge, A, Complaint.

Thank you Trey.

'I.

Appreciate that.

'I had A' rather disturbing occurrence.

Recently 'I was walking with A' male friend who happened to be straight unusual and

Then spit in the straight.

Oh.

That to me is like so gross.

There's like so many factors about that that were A', complete turnoff to me.

One is the hawking, just the sound of the hawk.

Even as A' Jew all the time, but the, but the hawking that is going immediately

'I don't even understand.

Why anyone would think that that's appropriate.

And like also just like A' fly by outta nowhere.

We're walking the dog.

No warning.

You know what 'I mean?

It's not like, excuse me, like Donn don't know.

Like something 'I just 'I.

Think 'I have maybe more manners like maybe 'I am A' little bit more like wound up

Burp in public without saying, excuse me, and this is like that to an entirely other defense.

It's just so gross.

And the fact that people can just do that and then just continue on with

What is wrong with you?

There was no reference to it.

No 'I, mean 'I referenced it.

'I, 'I like waited A', beat 'I was like, let me give it A' beat.

Let me just see if we're gonna comment on it.

And then 'I 'I, you know, 'I was like, you're not gonna talk about the fact that you just like

Would it have been different if they hoked into like A' napkin, 'I?

Yeah, that's 'I mean that 'I is fine.

That's sort of like I'm having an allergy, I'm having A' moment, which is what he said.

He was like, my allergies, I'm sorry, but you don't need to hawk it into the street.

Like if you hawk it into like, you know you have allergies, so you have like A' paper towel

That's fine.

It's not lit.

Donn, don't know if it's littering.

'I don't know if ha liquid is biodegradable.

'I don't really wanna think about it.

Probably is Donn don't know, but like it's just gross.

Like would you wanna step in that?

Oh yeah, it is really interesting cuz 'I also think just the act itself is A'.

Little disarming like 'I recog 'I.

Recognize doing it and not acknowledging that it's just happened is like very odd, but 'I

Rarely does it go into my mouth that 'I need to like expel it.

Yeah.

'I mean if anything, like my mom used to always call me out 'I guess cuz 'I

Get A' tissue, you know?

And 'I guess like 'I wasn't really conscious of the fact that 'I was doing

Maybe it's A', similar thing, but at least that's like inside, like

I'm not making that The next person that's gonna cross the street there is problem.

Yeah, 'I.

Hear you.

It is interesting and, and you bringing up the fact that it is A' straight man is an

Oh, interesting.

you like, you're not gonna like pay attention to like, Doing something

So like, like there's just this whole like that's really foul.

Not attractive.

So anyway, that just sort of bothered me and 'I figured I'd take this opportunity to

Stop doing that.

That's gross.

Okay.

choose another outlet that's, that is very odd.

get A' tissue.

There's something to be said for the like handkerchief of the day, right?

It's gross.

It's gross.

Anyway,

Good.

Complaint 'I.

now that we're thoroughly grossed out,

Yeah, for sure.

Well, why don't we hawk up this feeling and move on.

You wanna, let's jump into some online reviews.

Oh my goodness.

'I would love that.

Review, That, Review.

All right.

'I feel like I'm like that, like hungry, hungry Hippo, but like 'I feed off of reviews.

You know what 'I mean?

You're like, should we jump in some online reviews?

And I'm like, yes, please feed the Review Queen.

The reviews.

Maybe our new podcast image should be you and me, our faces on hunger.

Hunger hippos.

Oh, 'I.

Love that.

Okay.

I'm writing that down.

Hungry Hippo.

Hippo Queens.

David, do you have any?

David?

David, any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Love you.

Anyway, you know we're your trusted review Queens.

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

We read you A' review.

Then we break it down and we rate the impact of that said review On A' scale from zero to five

Assess, That, Kvetch.

And Trey, it is your turn today.

What have you brought in for us?

Dun, dun, dun, dun dun.

Well, without even recognizing ChelseyBD, you created A'.

Very beautiful segue because today 'I am gonna be sharing A' five star

Muse.

WoodWick, 19.4 ounce sandalwood scented candles, soy wax candle,

It's super.

For her.

So that's A' very long target Word title.

When you look at the actual product, it's A' really beautiful glass.

It's amber in color with like ornate, beautiful like flowers and like

And the product label on that jar just simply says La Muse and the scent sandalwood.

All

Oh,

so I'm gonna share this five star review.

The reviewer's name is jd and the subject from JD is, why Do They Say For Her?

And here we go.

This was written January 24th, 2018.

Simpler times.

Yeah.

Right.

All right.

I'm A', dude.

'I.

Think A'.

Pretty classic.

Manly one too.

'I Carry A' knife.

'I don't wear skinny anything.

'I own road flares and paper maps.

And guess what?

'I dig A'.

Good candle in the wintry north.

'I don't get why candles are almost exclusively marketed to women.

What do you mean Valentine's Day gift for her?

This was A' gift from me to me and me is A'.

He.

And he has A' hairy chest upon which many A' beer have been spelt seriously.

When it's freezing cold and the sun is hibernating, there is nothing like

Wait, what did you say?

Balls.

'I did.

Okay.

Read that again.

Seriously when it's freezing cold and the sun is hibernating, there's

Oh my God.

The candles are even burning.

Very long lasting and have A' pleasant, but not too fufu smell.

I'll take it.

Hmm.

Oh my goodness.

This is interesting to me because 'I 'I don't know if it was just the way that you

Phrases 'I.

Like The reason 'I missed the balls thing was because 'I was starring the sun is hibernating

But yet 'I like automatically understand what that means, right?

Because the sun is kind of hibernating in the winter.

'I just love all the language that the natural odor of fart and balls.

It really feels misplaced.

It feels like yaha deluge

it does.

the middle of my review,

Right.

'I.

No 'I.

'I even felt that when 'I was reading it.

Right, the energy shift.

the things were going well and then you, you had to sort of like,

sully it with the

with A' ball, but you know, you said Yeah, the hairy chest with the beer and all of

Population of males that may be reading this review.

It's interesting because when you first intro the product, to me 'I was thinking, sound of

Um, so 'I was surprised when it said for her, because most of

me.

You repeated it.

yeah, because most of the time there's A' sandalwood.

That's more of A' male scent.

That's just A' scent that 'I think that 'I don't really love A' sandal with myself.

But 'I do know that it's one of those things that men seem to like,

Well it is interesting because they have like balsam fur and cedarwood and

It like looks like antique glassware, but nowhere on the actual product does it say for

And JD quotes Valentine's Day gift for her, which is not present right now.

So maybe they

but probably was.

right?

For sure.

So my question is, how do you think JD came upon this candle?

Do you think this is the first purchase of said candle 'I mean?

What do you think the circumstances were?

Cuz 'I can paint A' picture, but 'I wanna know yours.

That's A'.

Really good question.

'I don't.

'I don't know.

I've never heard of La Jo Lee Muse.

Do you know this company?

No.

And 'I have like looked at candles on Amazon.

Donn don't know.

'I mean.

I'm sure it's an Amazon brand.

Donn don't know.

I'm not sure.

'I just Googled really fast.

And all.

So their whole gimmick is they sell everywhere, but their whole gimmick is

So they are intentionally like beautiful glass pieces, some tins as well,

But yeah, that's A'.

Really good question.

How did, how did JD stumble upon this?

That's A'.

Good question.

Did JD buy this for A' lady friend and then received it and was like, oh

Few times 'I mean 'I do feel like there's enough of an emotional attachment.

To this candle that 'I don't think that this is jds first purchase.

'I think that they repurchase this candle Many times, 'I think their apartment

Maybe they're drinking their beer out of it.

Donn don't know.

'I don't know what they look like, um, after the candle has burned, but 'I feel like this is A'.

Repeat customer

And you know, 'I, it's interesting that you picked up in

'I mean, the thesis here is like, why are you, why is, why are candles marketed to women?

I'm A' man and 'I like candles.

So it's like 'I.

Stop saying it's for her cuz I'm A' man and 'I appreciate it.

Right?

Right.

Which is so interesting because it's A' five star review, yet it is sort

right?

But 'I would say that it's A' letter to Amazon because the company isn't saying for her 'I mean,

company is cuz they're the ones that are writing those Octa

But they're not branding it on the actual product.

It's like the keyword you search.

Right.

Which is more marketing than, well, whatever.

But this whole thesis is sort of A' conversation that 'I think is A' little tired and played

It's too, right?

Like it's not, I'm, it's too frilly of me to admit that 'I like A' candle, but

Right.

And full disclosure, 'I found this review A' very long time ago, and

Thick,

the thick body wash 'I thought, okay, I'll probably never do that candle review

But what's interesting to me is there is some nuanced difference here because they

Language

Totally.

It's interesting 'I wonder if it's because we experienced the thick review that

I'm A' burly.

You know, like 'I 'I.

Wonder if that's why.

But 'I do think that there's some interesting poetic language and that

And it, it is kitch, but it's not 'I can't explain it.

Well that is what's interesting cuz if 'I were to sort of like, okay, so maybe 'I was

If 'I was thinking maybe JD

I'm A', dude.

I'm A' Manly dude,

Yes.

If JD was more misogynistic, I'm A', dude.

'I.

Think A'.

Pretty classic Manly one too.

'I carry A' knife.

Implying that women or effeminate men don't carry knives.

'I don't wear skinny anything.

'I don't wear skinny anything is probably 'I.

The lowest bar 'I.

Think in this review, like the whole hairy chest thing, like 'I, don't know.

For whatever reason, it doesn't occur as offensive to me as A' man.

As A' gay man.

And it didn't seem like it was offending you as A' woman either,

No 'I.

Mean 'I.

Think that, yeah, you could have read it that way.

I'm sort of glad you didn't.

'I did say like, that was sort of my first note.

It's like Donn.

Don't know if I'm reacting to the way that you read this, but 'I think that it's because we have

This shouldn't be for women.

This should only be for

Right.

Why are you giving this to women?

This should just be A' man's thing, bad women.

It's just like 'I.

Why should 'I have to be ashamed that 'I like this candle, it's almost like A' self-reflective.

Like maybe this was like A' therapy assignment or something for JD to be like, you're so 'I,

Like candles and maybe you could be A'.

Part of the difference of men not feeling like they need to just hide behind their knives and

'I 'I.

Think that's what it is.

That's what 'I think it is, because 'I.

Because 'I, 'I actually think JD is saying 'I identify in these manly

'I also appreciate that like when it's cold, 'I can like cuddle up and

It's so nice and, and it does cover up my fart and balls 'I.

That's why it stood out to us so much because it did feel so poetic and sort

yeah, 'I mean, and, but maybe at the same time it's like, Meant for that guy

Like woman gift.

You know what 'I mean And then like this comes up.

So maybe that's why JD is, is trying to appeal to that kind of audience and being like, whoa, whoa.

Like 'I am like you maybe reading this review and 'I really like this candle for myself.

So don't be so quick to just label this as like, You know, A', gruely gift because

Right.

And.

The last sentence really is like getting rid of all the flower language and just saying

So what do you think fufu means?

'I do think that there's like maybe A', lot of like undertone

Well, 'I, 'I think so too, but for some reason it's like funny to me.

'I it.

It seems like an, it doesn't seem offensive, but like 'I.

Guess Like 'I.

Mean.

'I guess you're right.

Like you're broadcasting so hardcore that you're not

Right.

Like why do you feel like you need

is this labeled as feminine?

And, and to be fair, this is 2018 'I.

Think we've gotten more and more and more 'I.

Progressive.

Well, at least in my communities, 'I, 'I.

Obviously certain things are terrifying that are happening right now, but, um, we're,

this whole fufu, this whole, like you brought up the sandalwood, like

'I love.

'I Love A'.

WoodWick

Me

love A', WoodWick.

'I.

Think WoodWick are genderless, but 'I do think that, but 'I do think 'I agree with

'I wouldn't, 'I would have A' WoodWick.

Like these are things that 'I would check off.

So then here's my question to play devil's advocate here.

Is there any sort of, are you getting any sense 'I.

That 'I.

Guess what I'm trying to p I'm, I'm trying to discern there were no females leaving reviews

It should be for me because I'm A' man and I'm like the dominant gender in the

well, that's what 'I was saying before, like, 'I

'I don't

it's, that he's, he's doing that 'I, get the impression that he's saying 'I.

It might be for women, but it's also for men.

And the problem isn't, we're including women in the statement, but the problem is that

But then to me, as someone who isn't concerned, 'I, mean 'I.

Guess 'I have A' high concern for being masculine because I've been taught that in my culture.

But to me, 'I.

'I, especially in this example that they quote Valentine's Day gift for her.

To me, that just sounds like marketing.

It doesn't sound to me like they're saying this candle is only for women.

It's like, how do we get even more niche to get even more buyers like eyes

It is, but 'I really think that that's the inherent problem with Amazon.

And I've said it for A' long time and it's what really annoys me is 'I.

Just wish that they could have some sort of title for the product and then have

But it really degrades A'.

Lot of these products when we're, because of all these buzzwords in the title,

The, the, the old lady at home.

Like, you know, like just stop it already.

Like it's annoying,

'I mean.

It's funny to me that like 'I as A' gay man was more offended by thick than 'I am by the

'I mean, it's like interesting, like it, it's interesting how it's occurring

'I don't think that many men would be taking this stance, right?

Like, But 'I think that that's what's curious about it is 'I think that JD is representing

on their hairy

spill beer on their hairy chest, and then are sticking their cameras

so, all right.

What's the value?

Is there any new or unique info in this?

'I.

Mean 'I.

Guess that.

For me, just that 'I 'I thought it was A' more masculine scent.

And so I'm sort of like validated in that feeling of, this seems like A' scent that men

Right, and then obviously they do end with the fact that like

and that Yeah.

They give

of the candle itself, separate of the scent.

yeah.

But in kind of A' way that we don't love, which is that like PS hears the review,

Right.

Yeah.

But again, this was A' type of review that is falls

Right, which leads into like the humor and entertainment 'I.

Yeah.

'I.

Think it's humorous and 'I.

I'm very entertained and I'm even sort of like 'I.

Dissecting it and sort of expecting like, what is the ginger norm?

And like, it's like sort of thoughtful and 'I think that's

Yeah.

JD is is thoughtful in their language.

And because like the spelling and grammar was really good.

It was clearly, you know, well written.

There was thought that went into writing this.

It wasn't A'.

Lot of times, you know, we read these joke reviews and they're just like, both balls, balls, balls,

And you're just like, no.

And 'I don't love the fact that they threw that in there.

But 'I do think that it was well written and, and well thought out.

Do you think that this is typical?

Do you think other men are buying this and feeling like they're being excluded?

'I.

'I Wonder, 'I Wonder because 'I, is it because the product is marketed

Like are, do you think there are many people that are deterred, Donn, don't know.

'I 'I.

Don't know it's beyond me cuz 'I probably would want something that was more feminine.

So 'I, 'I.

Don't know.

Right.

'I think it's outside of both of our scopes.

But 'I also think that like JD is really hammering that point to us, you know, over the head.

Like they need to let everyone know that they are manly, but they still liked this candle.

So.

And it's A' five star.

And it's A' five star.

So it's not hurting the product, it's saying 'I love it.

And it, and maybe it's interesting because maybe most of the five stars are either women being

Or men being like, 'I got this for my girlfriend.

You know what 'I mean?

Right.

All right.

'I think 'I can crown jd.

Let's do it.

So ChelseyBD and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.

In an effort to be fair and not influenced by one another, we will simultaneously reveal our rating.

The Queens are Tabulating to school.

Four and A' Four.

And A' half.

Okay, so Trey is holding up four and A' half crowns.

'I Am holding up three and A' half crowns.

That is A' full crown between us.

I'll go first.

'I kind of made A'.

Game time decision 'I was gonna go with four.

'I wanted to leave A' little room for like am 'I just completely desensitized because

Don't know.

That was where 'I 'I 'I like took the extra half crown off for me.

But 'I think it was A'.

Pretty interesting review.

'I really liked it.

'I thought it was entertaining.

'I liked the fact that.

JD took their time to spell check and really deliver A' document.

That was interesting.

The sun hibernating all this imagery from such what could be very like

Think that's an an unusual combination, and that's really where my three

Plus obviously it's A' five star review, so it's not hurting anybody.

Right.

Maybe that's A' little bit harsh, but just in case I'm A', little calloused from the thick of it all.

'I went with three and A' half crowns, which is maybe not fair to jd, but you made up for

So we still averaged out to four crowns, which 'I think is appropriate.

But why don't you let us know why you gave four and A' half crowns to j d.

'I.

'I think it's because 'I wanted A'.

Little bit more like, which is interesting, like 'I could listen to JD 'I, wanna

'I

was like 'I.

Feel like we've, we've definitely had A' JD before,

It's like 'I just was 'I.

It's A'.

Really fun, interesting point of view.

'I also like 'I couldn't do Review.

Queen cuz I'm not sure as you said, if like 'I am 'I creating the way in which

'I 'I don't know, but 'I 'I think ultimately JD is selling the product to me.

And 'I 'I think that even as A' gay person, I'm not offended in this reading of it.

So 'I wanna buy the candle and 'I, imagine that.

You as A' straight woman was charmed enough to where it's sort

And then if 'I was A' straight dude who hated gay people and 'I read this review,

So 'I ultimately think the impact is like, this is A', really great candle and 'I think it's funny,

And then 'I intentionally waited to share this at the end, but it does have 1,517

Amazing.

Okay.

JD 'I, like you and obviously A'.

Lot of people like you too, so good job.

anyone listening, are you in disagreement with us?

Do you think that

Are you throwing your phone across the room like

let us know.

Call in one eight five zero review.

Zero.

All right, Queen, we have reached the most regal portion of our show.

Who are you inducting today for?

My, Royal, Highness.

Thank you for asking Trey.

So at this point we know that 'I have like A', very polarized relationship with my closet.

Um, I've spoken A' few times about how 'I organize the shoes in improper

Think there's A', lot of negative energy happening around my closet that 'I need

'I am going to induct velvet hangers as My Royal Highness, because 'I was thinking as 'I was

That 'I.

Oh my God.

'I can fit so much in more in my closet because 'I use these velvet hangers, number one.

Number two, 'I like forgot about how horrible my life was when things were constantly slipping

Like 'I know that 'I have issues with my closet, but my stuff falling off my hangers.

Is not one of them.

And for these velvet hangers really being the hero of the closet, really bringing

Really bringing the sun out of hibernation for me in terms of what's happening in the closet.

'I really wanted to take this moment to induct velvet hangers as my real Highness.

Are you using velvet hangers?

If you're not, you gotta get on board.

'I mean everyone's using them at this point, right?

Wait.

It's so funny that you just inducted this because last week you did an Airbnb Hell

Hell review today, 'I.

For this week and in that review, which 'I think I'm just never gonna do, cuz it's

But they talk about hangers.

So it would've been so funny if 'I had done it and then you inducted velvet hangers.

But yes, 'I also use 'I, use velvet hangers.

Myself and 'I even have them from Amazon and they curve downwards.

So you don't get those like pinch dents on your

Yes.

Ugh.

So

the best 'I mean the best thing in the world.

A'.

Little bit more, but the impact is so great.

Velvet hangers, you're A' Queen.
