[00:01:32] CHELSEY DONN: Hi. Hi.
[00:01:33] TREY GERRALD: Hello.
[00:01:35] CHELSEY DONN: I fall more in love with that theme song every time we listen to it. It really
[00:01:39] TREY GERRALD: is fun.
[00:01:40] CHELSEY DONN: It really is. We're the luckiest.
[00:01:42] TREY GERRALD: Oh my gosh. Hello listeners. Welcome to review that. Review. We are the podcast dedicated to review.
[00:01:48] CHELSEY DONN: Reviews, where just like Siskel and Ebert, only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we rate and review those hilarious, scathing, and sometimes suspicious online reviews.
[00:02:01] TREY GERRALD: That's Chelsey Donn,
[00:02:02] CHELSEY DONN: and that's Trey Gerrald,
[00:02:04] TREY GERRALD: and together, we're
[00:02:06] CHELSEY DONN: the Review Queens. My crown is bronze and polished and ready to go.
[00:02:14] TREY GERRALD: It looks so gorgeous. Those gorgeous gemstones, they're blinding me. Oh my God. How's your week been, Chelse?
[00:02:25] CHELSEY DONN: My week has actually been great. I had my birthday. I celebrated my birthday.
[00:02:30] CHELSEY DONN: I got to see people in person and hug friends that I haven't seen in over a year. I got to actually hug my friends. It was so nice. And I went to another friend's birthday and I met new people and I went to a Dodgers game. So, It's like both the most bizarre thing to be seeing so many people and also such a blessing.
[00:02:52] CHELSEY DONN: So I feel great. How was your week, Trey?
[00:02:55] TREY GERRALD: I had a good week. Another great week, living life, breathing air in real time. We've just launched last Wednesday, and so it's been a very exciting, fun week with a lot of correspondences, and it's been a great, great week. I am happy to be here. Alive.
[00:03:14] CHELSEY DONN: Yes, we should all remember how lucky we are.
[00:03:17] CHELSEY DONN: And with that in mind,
[00:03:19] VOICEOVER: yes,
[00:03:20] CHELSEY DONN: in leaning into gratitude and remembering how very lucky we are, I think it's time for us to Lodge a Complaint.
[00:03:30] TREY GERRALD: Well, I'm ready. I'll start.
[00:03:32] CHELSEY DONN: Please get us get us going.
[00:03:34] TREY GERRALD: All right. Today, the complaint I'm going to be lodging is for something very obnoxious. It is cash only anything.
[00:03:43] TREY GERRALD: I hate when you go to a restaurant, when you go anywhere, if it is not a garage sale, if they are cash only, that is so obnoxious to me. Now, I understand you as the vendor have to pay a fee for Credit cards. True. Okay. It is 2021. It is. That is a cost of business. Who is cash only anymore? That is so obnoxious to me being told, Oh, cash only.
[00:04:17] TREY GERRALD: No, if you cannot pay the 2 percent fee for swiping the square, then I don't know something that is just whack. It's a whack job to not. Except credit cards.
[00:04:33] CHELSEY DONN: I get it. Now the worst is when you get to the place. You didn't know that it was cash only. You didn't bring any cash. Now what? It's terrible.
[00:04:42] TREY GERRALD: We went on a double date with my brother and sister in law and we knew it was a cash only restaurant.
[00:04:47] TREY GERRALD: And when she called to make the reservation, they were like, remember, it's cash only. And every single page of the menu What's Cash Only? It said at the bottom. And they have an ATM inside. 7. 50 fee. Ah,
[00:05:00] CHELSEY DONN: stop it. That's, that's wrong.
[00:05:03] TREY GERRALD: But, so then I'm thinking like, Okay, so you paid for this ATM machine that you can make profit off of, which great, do your thing.
[00:05:14] TREY GERRALD: But it's just obnoxious to me. Like, I just think that it's very bizarre to like be running a business and not be doing like even in Alabama. Like, my ex stepmom, she had a booth at, you know, it was like a vendor fair where you could set up a booth and sell things. And those people had square machines to run credit cards.
[00:05:34] TREY GERRALD: Like, how are you a business in Manhattan And what has also been really fabulous in this pandemic shutdown is a lot of places stopped even taking cash because we thought that was dangerous and scary. I know,
[00:05:46] CHELSEY DONN: I was going to say that. Like I, I actually, I, I tend to carry around cash. I go to the farmer's market every week.
[00:05:52] CHELSEY DONN: I like that cash exchange. I know, call me weird. I like, enjoy being like, where did you, where did these eggs come from? Tell me a little bit about this chicken. I want to know what, where they've come from. Here's 20. Thanks for the eggs. I mean, And then they give me change. But there have been a lot of places where it's no cash now.
[00:06:11] TREY GERRALD: To me,
[00:06:12] CHELSEY DONN: I
[00:06:13] TREY GERRALD: just think like, I'm just not a cash person. That's it. I get it. Like, so therefore, bye. Anyway, I do think
[00:06:20] CHELSEY DONN: eventually we're not going to have cash anymore, right?
[00:06:24] TREY GERRALD: You won't, right? It's like this cryptocurrency or whatever they're trying to do now.
[00:06:27] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah, that or it's just like you'll just have a balance and we'll just ding the, I don't know, Apple's gonna do it and we're all gonna just jump on board like we always do.
[00:06:36] TREY GERRALD: So that's my complaint. Uh, if you are a cash only establishment, Consider jumping in to the times. It's an option. Exactly. Oh, wait, hold on. Hold on. My phone's buzzing. Hold on. Okay, sure.
[00:06:50] EMILY KRATTER: Listener voicemail. Oh, my
[00:06:53] TREY GERRALD: God, you guys. It's an exciting, exciting day. We received A voicemail in our voicemail box, which, if you haven't heard, we say it at the end of every episode, you can call our voicemail box and leave us a message.
[00:07:07] TREY GERRALD: It's 1 850 REVIEW ZERO. And here is a message from a listener named Joe Kinosian. Emily. Oh
[00:07:15] EMILY KRATTER: my god. Okay, hi. Love the podcast. I would like to lodge a complaint, um, I'm not an angry person, but this truly makes me insane and it turns me very quickly into like a barbarian.
[00:07:31] TREY GERRALD: What do you think of Emily's voice so far?
[00:07:33] TREY GERRALD: Do you think that the preface of not being an angry person is factual?
[00:07:37] CHELSEY DONN: I believe her. She
[00:07:38] TREY GERRALD: sounds very nice.
[00:07:39] CHELSEY DONN: She seems nice. Yeah.
[00:07:41] TREY GERRALD: And I like the visual imagery of barbarian.
[00:07:44] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah, I think she's going to give us a lot of more descriptive words, let's see what all she has to say.
[00:07:48] EMILY KRATTER: I would like to complain about the people who use an escalator, and then they step off of it, and they don't keep walking.
[00:08:00] EMILY KRATTER: So, it creates this very dangerous, Like domino
[00:08:04] TREY GERRALD: effect, people
[00:08:06] EMILY KRATTER: just stand there
[00:08:08] TREY GERRALD: as
[00:08:09] EMILY KRATTER: if there's not this automatic chain of people that are going to dismount and have no control over the timing of that and you are, you're about to kill people and all you have to do is keep walking. She's walking. This happens a lot.
[00:08:26] TREY GERRALD: I feel like, uh, I feel like Emily's getting a little heated. But you
[00:08:30] CHELSEY DONN: know what? This is the part we all, we, we can identify with this. This is the part where you're like, it feels good. Now I'm complaining. Let me really let it out. I mean, I'm,
[00:08:38] TREY GERRALD: I'm mad about cash only. You're mad about bath mats.
[00:08:42] CHELSEY DONN: Emily, take your chance to talk.
[00:08:44] CHELSEY DONN: This is a worthy lodging of a complaint. I will say, do
[00:08:47] TREY GERRALD: you think she's a gymnast? Cause she's the word dismount. That is kind of what you do on an escalator. If you're going up, you do have to sort of like, you have to dismount. I
[00:08:55] CHELSEY DONN: love that. What a great descriptive word. I also thought, yeah, maybe she was a gymnast, probably when she was younger and possibly a dancer.
[00:09:03] CHELSEY DONN: I don't know. I'm getting dance vibes. Okay,
[00:09:04] TREY GERRALD: let's keep going. Yeah,
[00:09:06] CHELSEY DONN: escalators
[00:09:07] EMILY KRATTER: are a universal thing, right? Like they exist everywhere and we use them since we, like forever, like since we're babies, children, like everybody needs to know how an escalator works and it's common sense and it's not difficult to step off of it and keep walking.
[00:09:28] EMILY KRATTER: I don't, I just, yeah, that's my complaint. Okay, that's it. That feels better. That's my complaint.
[00:09:35] TREY GERRALD: Wow, Emily!
[00:09:37] CHELSEY DONN: That was great. I'm so glad that Emily used our voicemail for this purpose and that she feels better now, and she's dead on.
[00:09:46] TREY GERRALD: I've definitely noticed that. There's this whole culture in New York City that you must stand.
[00:09:53] TREY GERRALD: To one side if you're on an escalator for anyone that's in like a bigger hurry than you are so they can sweep past you and you learn that very quick on your first trip as a tourist that like people are going to cuss you out if you're like not directly behind the person.
[00:10:07] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah I mean even though I agree walk to one side stand to the other like we never take any time as human beings to just pause and sometimes when I step on an escalator I'm just like this is my pause it's not laziness.
[00:10:21] CHELSEY DONN: Ooh, let's take a breath and like observe for a second, you know, and so if I'm observing and then somebody like tapped me on the shoulder and they were like, excuse me, of course I would like move out of the way, but I don't know that that's like worthy of a full lodge. So I'm glad that wasn't what Emily went with
[00:10:39] TREY GERRALD: the pile up.
[00:10:40] TREY GERRALD: That is because then it becomes very stressful. You think like I'm going to get caught in this and my shoestring or it's like we're going to all die.
[00:10:47] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah. You see somebody in front of you, you know that they're going to be a stopper, and then you can feel
[00:10:53] TREY GERRALD: it. It's the worst,
[00:10:55] CHELSEY DONN: the worst.
[00:10:56] TREY GERRALD: All right, well, listeners, if you want to lodge your own complaint or if you want to induct someone in your life for My Royal Highness, or if you even strongly disagree with one of our review scores, Feel free to call in, leave us a voicemail, 1 850 REVIEW ZERO.
[00:11:14] TREY GERRALD: Thanks, Emily.
[00:11:15] CHELSEY DONN: Thank you. Wow, that was so good. I feel so good hearing Emily complain after we complained, and I think that we should hear some more people complain. What do you think?
[00:11:25] TREY GERRALD: Let's do it. I want to hear some written complaints.
[00:11:27] CHELSEY DONN: Let's hear some written complaints. And as you guys already know, we are your trusty review queens.
[00:11:33] CHELSEY DONN: We each bring in a review from the internet that we feel needs to be inspected. We read the review, break it down, and rate the impact of the review on a scale from one to five crowns. It's a very regal process that we call Assess That Kvetch.
[00:11:48] TREY GERRALD: And Kvetch means? Assess That Kvetch.
[00:11:50] CHELSEY DONN: Complaint,
[00:11:51] TREY GERRALD: learning Yiddish with the Queens,
[00:11:56] CHELSEY DONN: Review That Review,
[00:12:00] TREY GERRALD: All right, Chelsey, Chels, what have you got for us this week?
[00:12:03] CHELSEY DONN: Okay, well, I have a review from Amazon and the review is written by Troy W. And it is a one star review of the so coastal, The Beach Bohemoth Giant Inflatable Ball. It's a 12 foot, pole to pole, huge jumbo toy for water games and family fun.
[00:12:31] CHELSEY DONN: Oh no. Yes, oh no is right. So this is Troy W. Subject. Some serious things to consider before buying this ball. First of all, if you have your heart set on this and want this gigantic ball, there's technically nothing wrong with this product, but please take a minute to To consider some things that I did not consider before imposing this monstrosity onto our son's graduation party, dot, dot, dot.
[00:13:06] CHELSEY DONN: One, it's huge. I mean, it's really big, which means you cannot see who or what is on the other side of it. We had a party full of teenage boys, no small kids. And this was a problem with people getting bowled over. I can only imagine if there were small kids around, too. Once it was completely blown up, about an hour and a half, with a small air compressor, It bounced everywhere, across people, picnic tables, horse fence, the neighbor's yard, and into a four lane A.
[00:13:50] CHELSEY DONN: My party goer teens were trying to keep it from causing a pile up in front of our house. We had to push the darn thing down into the woods to keep it from blowing, it was windy, back into the road! Three, we decided that letting some air out of it might keep it from bouncing so much, and by this time, it had a few holes in it from being pushed into the woods.
[00:14:22] CHELSEY DONN: The boys played with it okay for a while, Until it had lost enough air for one boy to think he could jump on it like a trampoline. That's when he bounced over the top of it and came down to the ground, breaking his collarbone.
[00:14:49] CHELSEY DONN: Four! The kids took it back to the campfire after that and ceremoniously deflated the rest. And then That was the end of my hundred dollar hope for a cool party toy. Never again, sad face.
[00:15:10] VOICEOVER: Oh
[00:15:15] TREY GERRALD: my god, the bar has just been raised so fiercely. How did you find that?
[00:15:22] CHELSEY DONN: I was looking, actually, I was looking for toys for my nephew's birthday.
[00:15:28] CHELSEY DONN: He was having like a lawn party. They were doing a movie before and I was like, Oh, it might be cute if we had some lawn toys. So I was looking up like fun lawn toys and I came across this huge Ball. And I thought like, Oh, maybe this is a good, I, this could be like fun. Like all the kids could play with this ball together.
[00:15:46] CHELSEY DONN: Like I was getting, I don't know, like elementary school gym vibes from it. I thought it could be good. And then I read the reviews and I saw this and I thought, of course, like, what a review queen, but also, Oh my God.
[00:16:01] TREY GERRALD: So we already know that the impact for you was a deal breaker, right? Because you did not buy it.
[00:16:07] CHELSEY DONN: I, of course, did not buy the item. I, I, like, of course I didn't. I mean, how could you buy an item after that? Troy W.,
[00:16:18] TREY GERRALD: Troy W. has Okay. Well, okay. I do have a couple of things to contest just because I'm just curious. So do you think that it's hyperbole or do you think that someone actually broke their collarbone?
[00:16:30] CHELSEY DONN: I think somebody actually broke their collarbone. So then why did this, why did something continue with the ball after it? It says the kids took it back to the campfire after that and ceremoniously deflated the rest of it. And that was the end of my 100 hope. For a pool party total. Now, like, what I wanted was that they were going to throw it in the fire.
[00:16:52] TREY GERRALD: Right. But now I'm hearing that they, that was like, okay, someone That was the final, it was like, yeah,
[00:16:59] CHELSEY DONN: yeah, it felt like the, yeah, like the, getting it to the campfire was kind of like, guys, this ball has caused enough damage. It's time to deflate the beast.
[00:17:10] TREY GERRALD: When you started this, I wrote down the word monstrosity because I was like, what a word.
[00:17:15] TREY GERRALD: And now given the, um, review, I, I echo monstrosity. I mean, that is a monster. Yeah. I also love the visual of being bowled over. Like that is so hilarious. And like, these are teenage boys, like, wow. And then also just the fact. of blowing something up for an hour and a half. They said it was a small electric motor.
[00:17:36] TREY GERRALD: That is like insane. That is so long. That's like six episodes of Sex and the City. That's crazy.
[00:17:42] CHELSEY DONN: That's so true. And also like, it does, I don't know why when I was looking at it, I didn't really, this is what I really fully like fathomed. How big this was? It does say in the title of the item, 12 foot pole to pole.
[00:17:58] CHELSEY DONN: What does that mean? I think that means longitude, latitude would be my guess. Like a North Pole, South
[00:18:05] TREY GERRALD: Pole?
[00:18:05] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah, North Pole. Yeah. Like we're talking like it's 12 up and 12 across.
[00:18:10] TREY GERRALD: That's an interesting description of that. Why wouldn't you just say?
[00:18:13] CHELSEY DONN: I don't know. But like, Also circumference? Or circumference.
[00:18:17] CHELSEY DONN: But that is like, Huge. That's giant. And it says huge jumbo toy, but what I guess like what I liked the most about Troy was Obviously his sense of humor. I mean, it really like, it took me a lot not to laugh. Like it was really funny. And then also he didn't give up on the ball, like, or his, what's the word?
[00:18:40] CHELSEY DONN: His enthusiasm when he bought the ball, like he really had high hopes for it. He was like, this is going to be a really cool thing for the party. And like, he's like, he's empathizing with the person that's going to be purchasing this. That's how I felt when I was reading it. Like, okay, you're not. Crazy that you want to do this thing.
[00:18:59] CHELSEY DONN: I get it. Like I also wanted to do this thing cause I thought it could be fun now that I've lived it now that like I'm, I'm post acquisition of the ball. Like I have some wisdom to share and boy,
[00:19:13] TREY GERRALD: Yeah, I really appreciated that approach and that approach follows all the way through. It feels like Troy W.
[00:19:18] TREY GERRALD: as a friend saying like, look, let me like tell you, like, this is like the side story over here. Even when you say it was windy. Was that in parentheses?
[00:19:27] CHELSEY DONN: Yes.
[00:19:28] TREY GERRALD: Okay. That was a beautiful reading.
[00:19:31] CHELSEY DONN: Yes, it was in parentheses. That's what I'm saying. Like, he gave us so much detail. Like, You know, detail on detail on detail.
[00:19:38] TREY GERRALD: Now when you were screaming about the collarbone and going into the street and all that, is it in caps?
[00:19:44] CHELSEY DONN: All caps with like many exclamation points.
[00:19:48] TREY GERRALD: Exclamation points? Yeah,
[00:19:49] CHELSEY DONN: so like especially the into a four lane highway was like really like all caps, like maybe like 20 exclamation points, like do not miss this detail.
[00:19:59] TREY GERRALD: You know what was a detail that I thought was just like thrown in and then like never. Addressed again, Horse Fence.
[00:20:08] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah. Well, to me, I don't know what you thought. I was like, Oh, this is a farm. This is a very large property. That's my choice.
[00:20:16] TREY GERRALD: 12 by 12 pole. I mean, that's ginormous. That's like crazy.
[00:20:21] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah. I also want to point out, this isn't something that we usually say, but I'm just noticing it from my screenshot that 815 people found this review helpful.
[00:20:31] TREY GERRALD: Oh my gosh. I mean, I do think it's valuable and like it, it, it is sort of making me even think like, this is probably gonna like be dangerous if it's purchased.
[00:20:41] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah, extremely. It's just, this is a deal breaker. It just sort of occurs
[00:20:47] TREY GERRALD: to me like, it's just so chock full of details that I, it does make me wonder if this is like a fake comedy review.
[00:20:55] TREY GERRALD: Did someone really break their collarbone? Like how would you even jump on it as a kid if it's 12 feet tall?
[00:21:01] CHELSEY DONN: Well, it was partially deflated. So it was like, I imagine it was now, cause they said he jumped on it like a trampoline. So if it's partially deflated, Oh, this could for sure happen. I mean, even just jumping on a regular trampoline, you could break your collarbone.
[00:21:16] CHELSEY DONN: Kids will be kids.
[00:21:18] TREY GERRALD: I mean, it is a kid's toy. So I would imagine that this like all the things that these teenagers came up with are all the things that most kids are going to come up with when you're playing with the 12 foot ball. I just
[00:21:28] CHELSEY DONN: feel like the specificity of this and the story, like, yes, it's extreme.
[00:21:32] CHELSEY DONN: Yes, it's crazy. There's so many, the highway and like the color. The horse fence. There's so many, there's just so many specifics about this that are outrageous, but specific enough that it feels authentically true.
[00:21:47] TREY GERRALD: I kind of want one.
[00:21:49] CHELSEY DONN: You, okay, good luck. I'm definitely not getting one.
[00:21:52] TREY GERRALD: But I don't even know what you would do with a ball that large.
[00:21:56] CHELSEY DONN: I thought it would be fun for like a kid's birthday party.
[00:21:59] TREY GERRALD: I was literally guffawing at that. I mean, my throat kind of hurts because I was, it really got me. I mean, I don't think I've ever been more entertained by a review.
[00:22:09] CHELSEY DONN: Me too. I was so entertained when I was reading it. I just couldn't, I like barely got through reading it.
[00:22:15] CHELSEY DONN: It was so funny.
[00:22:17] TREY GERRALD: I think I'm ready to crown this. Are you ready? I'm ready.
[00:22:19] CHELSEY DONN: I'm, I've never been more ready in my life.
[00:22:22] TREY GERRALD: All right, so here we go. Let's crown it.
[00:22:25] VOICEOVER: The queens are
[00:22:27] CHELSEY DONN: tabulating.
[00:22:27] TREY GERRALD: All right. I'm a little, I think I'm a little nervous, but all right.
[00:22:32] CHELSEY DONN: Okay. I'm excited. All right.
[00:22:39] CHELSEY DONN: Total score.
[00:22:40] TREY GERRALD: Yeah, I knew it.
[00:22:42] CHELSEY DONN: Okay, if ever I had a golden ticket, like if I was on a reality show and I had a golden ticket, like I would be given the golden ticket, I would be pushing that button, there would be confetti coming down for Troy W., Troy W., you're a review queen.
[00:22:57] TREY GERRALD: I mean, this is so epic. Epic. I mean, we all know that I hate the voice, but I would turn my chair around
[00:23:04] CHELSEY DONN: Yeah, all three chairs are getting turned around.
[00:23:07] CHELSEY DONN: We are fighting over Troy W. Troy W, if you're listening to this,

[00:24:43] TREY GERRALD: I mean, Chelsey,
[00:24:46] CHELSEY DONN: All right, my queen, we have reached the most regal portion of our show. Who are you, Trey, inducting for?
[00:24:55] CHELSEY DONN: My Royal Highness.
[00:24:58] TREY GERRALD: Okay, so my Royal Highness for this week is a little personal. So, um, my husband and I decided to adopt another dog from an organization called Wolf. Not, that sounded like an L. I'm sorry. My Southern like creeps up. Woof. DogRescue. com. So it is this New York City dog rescue organization.
[00:25:18] TREY GERRALD: They take in animals from the New York City shelters and foster them in order to get them into new homes. Woof, DogRescue. com. It was founded by a woman named Barbara Fox. She's doing incredible, great work and got this little dog. The dog was being fostered by a really wonderful woman named Rota, who approved me and David to become the new owners of this little dog.
[00:25:45] TREY GERRALD: So when the dog was taken to the shelter, its name was Tucky or Tuki. We're unsure. And then the animal shelter named the dog Winston, which was the name that we wanted to originally name our dog until we found our first dog, Winnie, who's a female. So that felt like a little like the shared sign. And then we are still in the process of figuring out what the dog's name was.
[00:26:09] TREY GERRALD: We think we're going to name him Hunter.
[00:26:11] CHELSEY DONN: Oh, I like that.
[00:26:12] TREY GERRALD: And um, so we can call him Hunty for short. And Hunter and Winnie are getting along swimmingly and it's going well. He's definitely a submissive and she is definitely an alpha. So it's a great pairing. And I'm just really appreciative for the work at Wolf Dog Rescue.
[00:26:29] TREY GERRALD: So shout out to all of the foster people out there, all of the rescue people for these animals, especially Rhoda. And Barbara Fox at Woof Dog Rescue.
[00:26:42] CHELSEY DONN: That's very special. I
[00:26:44] TREY GERRALD: love that.
