Hello.

Anyway, Chelsey, what are you doing?

How are you?

What are you not canceling?

What are you paying for?

What's new.

What is new?

I went to the mall.

That was fun.

The mall of America

not the mall of America, cuz I don't live in Minneapolis, but if I did sure,

No, I went to the century city mall, which is one of my happy places,

Oh yeah.

even just for a nice window shop.

It's sort of like a, you know, an outdoor indoor kind of a mall.

So you can get your steps in.

I miss those, like, I don't know.

I just feel like the good old days when you just go to the mall and hang

Do you remember like roller rinks?

Did you have a roller rink?

Sure.

Did, did I have a roller rink birthday party?

Sure.

Did.

Did I take roller scathing lessons at the roller rink?

Sure.

Did rank

Did they do a thing where like the people that worked there would come

Yes.

Never a big fan of limbo.

I didn't like things that induced anxiety and trying to do limbo while on

So once the stick got to a certain point, became very stressful for me.

Yeah.

You know, this is so random and just a thought, but isn't it interesting how.

Roller scathing was like, I think of roller scathing as like seventies.

Like it, it, maybe it existed prior to that, but like, I think of that as like

I remember our scathing

the nineties was also like a heyday for roller scathing and then rollerblading.

Well that thank you that you, well, I don't even need to finish

the words right out

what I was gonna do.

But I was gonna say, I remember our roller scathing rink used to have shag

Like it was like

Very nineties saved by the bell.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Then it was the invention of the roller blades, where instead of having

Like it was an ice skate with a lot of plastic buckles, but why, why did roller

Why did that go out of fashion?

I Donn, you know what, it's funny, cuz it it's like in and

Right?

Like anything that's old is new again.

So there was like a period of time where we had overdone it.

And now if you go to like Venice, you know, By the beach, like the boardwalk and stuff.

You'll see.

So many people roller, scathing and rollerblading, but really roller scathing

point.

That's true.

That, that, and it does feel very Venice to me.

right?

I mean, they're selling a lot of roller skates over there and those

I wonder if, if roller ranks will reopen,

I think there are some in like the hipster neighborhoods.

like that could be a trend on TikTok?

I'm sure it is.

It's gotta be, if you're listening and you like to roller skate or roller

we need to know.

We need to know.

Ugh.

That made me feel old.

Speaking of things that make you feel old, do you have things that you wanna complain about today?

Trey?

Because I feel like the older you get, the more you complain.

I actually have an old Complaint.

So this is a really good So why don't we go ahead and

Lodge A Complaint.

all right.

So this week I need to Lodge a Complaint against cran wrap, not cran wrap itself.

I can never successfully tear it.

It just rips and like, it won't be a straight line.

It's like, I'm scared of the razor blade.

same.

So scared of the blade.

and like, and I can't!', I don't know.

It's like, I, I, I don't know how to like, not get it to be all like bunchy, like

it's a similar, it's similar to the tape with once you, once it gets Buny

you can't use

like you gotta remove that part.

you can't waste time trying to get this thin, thin, thin, thin, thin.

Also what is, is it just plat?

Who knows?

I, it, it makes me so upset.

So frustrated.

It's more trouble than it's worth.

It's just gimme aluminum foil.

Like I can't do it.

It's just like, it's so tender, but, but it's so strong when it comes to being cut.

So I Donn don't understand.

I hate it.

It's making me angry.

I don't want to deal with wrap it's I'm sure it's bad for the environment, but

Uh, I don't think we're supposed to be using foil anymore.

Trey, because of the aluminum.

Yeah.

I mean, there's all kinds of things I can't even keep up, but I also learned that we're,

Oh, oh,

I saw a video in TikTok that you're supposed to like, so I guess the

So if this is the bowl, this is the top of the bowl.

And you're trying to like wrap it.

You put Theran wrap underneath the bowl and then you wrap it all the way around the entire bowl.

oh,

and that's how you keep it like nice and taught and attached to the thing.

Like you're, you're like wrapping it like a gift, cuz what I was always trying to do was,

That's not a very safe way to do it.

The safe way to do it.

You gotta go all the way around the bottom of the bowl and then back around

then how do you, what do you do with the sides

You wrap it around like one continuous piece,

then?

What do you do about the open ends?

if there's open ends still.

Cause the length of Theran wrap was not big enough to cover like whatever your bowl was.

I guess you'd have to attack it from the other side as well.

Oh, I see.

I didn't know if you were gonna like, uh, twist it, like it's a totsy roll.

I don't know that the Tutsi roll twist is the appropriate maneuver either way.

I think we're supposed to be using reusable thing.

I don't know what we're supposed to be using, but I do hope we're moving towards a place with

Because like saran wrap, she's gotta go.

Like she's not, she's no longer fulfilling the need.

Sorry.

wrap, get outta here.

Susan Soran wrap.

Pack your bags in the go.

So ChelseyBD what is your Complaint for this

Speaking of packing your bags and going, this is my Complaint.

And this does have to do with the mall.

I went to the food court century.

City mall has a lovely food court.

Okay.

Now, as we know, I'm a Queen.

However, you must clean up after yourself

at a food court.

Who are you your Highness?

If you think you can leave a food court table with your items still there, no one

Like, I don't wanna have to touch your stuff.

It's gross.

Like in the time of COVID it's worse.

Okay.

We should have learned something in this, this like break that we took off from being

It's disgusting.

I'm over it.

It's so rude.

And it's a chain reaction and it creates overflow and it's confusion about who's there.

Who's not there.

Just clean up after yourself.

It's a food court.

Is that

I concur.

There's even a restaurant that, oh, I, it might, no, I don't know what it is, but I can't remember

And so you just have to like get up and like leave.

It's just the opposite impulse to just like leave clutter, like not

So I don't understand the mentality of like,

It's like the same people that leave their popcorn at the movie theater.

Just leave it there.

Like, yeah, Someone's gonna come in, but like, why should they have to clean up your popcorn bucket?

Just throw out your popcorn bucket upon exit

Do wait, do you see a bunch of glitter on my shirt?

a little bit.

Yeah.

Why.

I got David was very sweet and he was at the mall with his friend and passed

So he got me two bath bombs.

Yeah.

And one, I, you know, I put it in and I didn't realize literally until I was

Like I literally looked down the water and it was, I was like, oh my God, there's glitter in this.

And I was literally at work two days ago and my manager was like, Look,

And I was like, oh my God.

And she started laughing and I was like, this is from a bath bomb that like, I can't get rid of it.

And now I'm just looking at this t-shirt

And there it is

there's glitter on

glitter will follow you for the rest of your life.

Trey,

Speaking of

you know, once you get involved with glit.

Yeah.

It's like herpes.

exactly.

It is the herpes of arts and crafts.

They call it that.

Yeah.

I can't

Well, I'm sorry I listen.

If anything, it makes you sparkle a little bit, which nobody's gonna turn down a nice

I thought it

crazy for you cuz you like know

thought it was just the white specs in the shirt, but it's no, it's

Okay.

I hear your Complaint.

I guess I have a new Complaint about glitter and, um, let's move on.

Should we jump into some online reviews?

Oh my God.

I would love that.

Please.

Let's do it.

Review That Review

So as you know, we are your trustee review Queens.

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

We read you a review, break it down and rate the impact of the review

It's a very Regal process that Chelsey and I call.

Assess that Kvetch.

Well Queens, I have a review today from Melrose Mac.

It is a Yelp review.

Melrose Mac is an apple premier partner and authorized service center.

That fixes Mac computers.

Um, it is on Melrose.

It says it's based in Hollywood.

So like Hollywood Melrose and yeah, that's, that's all we really need to know about it.

It was established in 2003.

This review is written by Steph C, who is an elite review.

It is a One-Star-Zinger review and it does include lude language, crude language.

It's explicit.

Yes.

It has explicit language.

So if you're a child and you're listening, this would be the time to

Enjoy your adulthood, cuz it's coming now.

Exactly.

It's happening.

Here we go.

Fuck Melrose,

Oh,

fuck apple.

While I'm at it.

I'm not gonna do anything crazy.

Like give up my iPhone or my MacBook, but I will

the crazy thing.

Okay.

but I will complain on Yelp about some bogus customer service.

So take that Steve jobs ghost though.

I loved you.

I'm crazy.

Ex girl.

Shut

Matt B and I bought a brand new iMac for my parents, a combination birthday

My dad had been using an unbelievably old desktop and took some time transferring

Like a day after he started it, he got prompted to run a series of software updates.

He clicked.

Okay.

And somehow that totally wrecked his just unboxed iMac.

what?

Matt spent about an hour and a half on the phone with Apple's

We were just outside the return window and that he couldn't even ship it to get it fixed.

He had to take it into an apple store or affiliated shop.

Since he wasn't planning on carrying a 27 inch desktop across the century city mall.

Shout out, we made an appointment with Melrose Mac where the risk of dropping

Melrose.

Mac is an apple store with a lowercase S that also does repairs.

It's on Melrose next to the moat Plex with easy meter parking.

As long as you get in before the parking lane closes at four on weekdays, I wrapped

My neat freaked dad had thrown away the box in the mistaken belief that a

I asked if I could get help carrying it inside.

And someone on staff did it for me, which was helpful.

Most of the people here seem nice enough, but I ended up having a full on passive aggressive

It was supposed to be quick and easy.

We'd already told them the issue over the phone.

This guy took the computer.

Had me fill out paperwork then asked if the hard drive had been backed up.

I wasn't sure and said.

So my dad is a weirdo who deletes everything and had already gotten rid of the old desktop.

And he informed me that we'd be out of pocket for the data recovery.

I was already in a bad mood and I commented off the cuff that it seemed perverse to charge

When I pushed back, he dug his heels in.

We had a fucking five minute argument about the fucking apple data recovery policy for no fucking

He was trying to explain the rationale behind the policy as if I didn't

I mean, literally every customer service policy is about drawing the line where responsibility

I know when a policy favors the corporation and don't care if there's

He's his money.

He told me if someone stole CDs, CDs, Out of his car, the car company, wouldn't be liable.

I countered that if I drove a brand new car off the lot and someone stole my CDs because

I asked why he was arguing with me when I was just grumbling about apple Inc.

The multi-billion dollar company, he actually said, I'm not arguing.

I'm having a friendly conversation.

Anyway, I went home a week later.

Matt asked when the computer would be ready as we hadn't heard a peep

I know.

I emailed to follow up nine days after the drop off and didn't hear back

iMac at least pick up was easy and the whole thing was free of charge.

It's a good thing.

We didn't need data recovery because that would've been $150.

Unfortunately, I don't trust this computer anymore.

And would be hesitant to buy another desktop from apple.

I'd certainly like to avoid Melrose Mac in the future for a customer service center.

It sure is an unpleasant place.

Mm-hmm

what, wait, what was wrong in the process of the father

It, it crashed and couldn't work or something.

Is that what happened?

Yeah.

So it seems like I'm guessing whatever that process was

The

it the migration process, because there was so much to migrate over whatever it was.

I Donn I'm, I'm like a little confused about that part, but whatever it was,

and then they got prompted to do some sort of an update.

And when the dad said, okay, do the update, it somehow killed the computer, right?

What is the return window?

I'm wondering you have 14 calendar days,

Yeah.

Two weeks

so

just missed the window.

So this you're talking, this is like two weeks in a day.

This is 15 days after purchase.

They were still under warranty.

why it was free.

what do you think about that?

Well, I'm just, I still, I just don't understand what killed the computer or like

But at the end of all of this, it seems like Melrose Mack did it free of charge.

And now the computer works.

So I Donn don't know why.

think we should be giving Melrose Mac that much credit only because I think

Whoever on the phone at apple, like identified that you're right.

There is something wrong.

It shouldn't have crashed.

Like that's what ha like this has happened to me personally.

Like you get a new.

Computer.

Sometimes you get a lemon, right?

So it's like, you go through it, you talk to the people on the phone,

This, this is like not working.

You can either go to an apple store or you can go to an apple, apple authorized place to

So I think they did that.

I think they were just annoyed.

That at that point, we were given this place to go to now, you're trying to charge me

This place being like, isn't it a pain in the ass that I just spent $1,700 on this machine and

So I don't know.

There's a lot of FBOs being thrown all around.

Clearly this is annoying, but I can understand the idea of being annoyed that you spent

Yeah, I do feel a little bit split here, cuz I agree

And then I also would like to challenge stuff on some other points, but I just

F this place and F this place, I'm not gonna do anything rash, like getting rid of my iPhone.

Like I just thought that was so

so funny.

Yeah, yeah,

I was like, oh no, is she gonna stuff gonna like threaten violence or something?

But no something rash is actually like giving up your iPhone.

Right.

That's funny.

Yeah.

I like that.

Also CRA

you watch crazy?

Ex-girlfriend.

I watched the first season, I never finished it.

was there Steve jobs ghost moment.

there must be, cuz it's totally a weird show or weird things like that would happen,

Steph is so angry and in this back and forth with the Melrose Mac, it person.

I understand both sides here.

I also recognize like it's not straight from the apple store.

You you've been in possession of it for 15 days.

So it was.

Presumably working until it stopped working.

So you can't say you just opened this computer and it's defective.

Something has occurred.

I recognize Apple's point of view here is like, oh, there, it seems like something's wrong.

We need to get our hands on it.

Which is like, okay.

Yeah.

I mean, it's like if your television doesn't work, you have to take your television to get repaired.

So a little bit of this is like

I just think the frustration is like, yeah, like I brought this new computer,

I never even got to use it.

I never got to use this thing.

That's annoying.

I hear

But it is more, I think the question here and what I was questioning as

I think the only thing Melrose Mac is at fault for is maybe a passive aggressive mansplaining,

I think that is like not cool.

but anything that is attributed to Mac itself maybe would be more appropriate on

But at the same time, if you're an authorized user, then do you speak on behalf of the company?

And like, you're not gonna be the only person that's going to.

This location that has a problem with Mac.

If that's where they're, they're sending you here, right?

Like apple is sending you here.

So you are representing apple.

You should know how to handle these kind of situations.

I would be pissed if I had to pay any money.

the day, they didn't.

Yeah.

But they were like told that they might have to pay the 150.

I think what's happening to me is that it looks like Steph came in hot.

Steph was already upset

Yes.

and I have

And they say that to their credit.

I was already in a bad mood.

correct.

That is correct.

I also do know, and this is a stereotype, but sometimes I, it techy people.

Are very heady individuals and don't always read interpersonal relationships

I even myself have felt like, oh, I, I need to like stop this conversation because this is a

Like that.

Yeah.

And this is just gonna continue to go on and on and on and on.

Right.

but I do wanna just point out that Steph mentions that they grumbled.

Off the cuff, which I don't think was off the cuff, cuz I think Steph was already mad, but

I think Steph finally met her match and it was someone that was willing to, um,

And I think that that's the idea is that like, if you , if you arrive

Right?

Because the thing about these.

Emergency Mac places.

And I say this all the time when I'm like, whenever I've gone to an apple

I'm freaking out.

I don't have my phone.

I don't have my laptop.

This is my livelihood, blah, blah, blah.

I also recognize that you have this conversation 10 million times a day, and everybody that's

So I just wanna.

Recognize that that being said, like, I'm freaking the fuck out.

Right?

So

Well, that's your decor.

that's my decorum.

That's like what I do, cuz I, I also, you know, empathize with someone working customer service

So I understand that, but I do think that there are different kinds of people that

I've encountered the people that are like.

I totally get it.

Believe me, if it was my phone, I would be freaking out too.

Or if it was my computer, I would be freaking out too.

Let's just get this fixed, even if it was like, just so you know, if there is data

And you want us to take care of that.

There is a charge with that.

If you don't wanna pay for that, maybe talk to apple, maybe see if like they will cover it.

Like, I just think that there's a way.

I do too.

Of having that conversation and you should be trained in having that conversation.

If you have that conversation a hundred times a day.

But, but I think that then becomes the distinction.

Do I go to apple or do I go to this mom and pop shop that got a

If, if I want the it person to be able to take responsibility and apologize

I guess, but when you call apple and I know this, cuz this happened

They literally said to me like, basically, do you wanna, like, let's say it was Monday.

Do you want an appointment with apple in century city next

Is dealing with apple, I think.

And they

Right.

Or do you wanna appointment with apple?

1, 2, 3, fix it tomorrow, right?

So like they're recommending these places.

So there is a certain responsibility, right?

It's kind of like going to one of those independent Verizon stores that

It's like, okay, cool.

Like you're in an independent store, but you're still representing Verizon.

You're still benefiting off of that, you know, connection.

And you're taking that on and you're getting customers because of it.

So if that's the case, you have to handle it the same way.

And if that's not the case and I'm gonna get a lot of people that are not prepared to handle.

This kind of customer service.

Well, then I wanna know, right?

So that I can be like, you know what, maybe I'll take that appointment next Thursday

And for me, personally, that would be, what I would be looking at from Yelp

I don't know why.

I just really, I, there was an

But there was a lot of, of shadiness.

I'm not, I'm not taking full blame away from staff.

No, no, no.

I appreciate the conversation.

My only real relation here is there was like an apple, uh, certified place

So that's my one experience, but it was never, that was always sort of like a little bit cheaper.

Last ditch effort.

Or if you can't get an appointment with apple, like it does feel like a subset.

Like what is the sacrifice then?

Cause I do think that ultimately when you're working for the corporation, you're

I'm also wondering if this it guy was like, I'm not gonna speak ill of apple.

And if you, which like I also understand, clearly Steph is intelligent about what

But it is also like, do you wanna get into this conversation with the

Like just leave it.

And then we get to the nine days and then the three, like that doesn't make any sense

But ultimately I do think at the end of the day they fixed the problem.

Yeah.

I mean, I think that the unfortunate thing here, although it was funny and I did enjoy

So I liked all that, but we do risk.

Losing the main message in the weeds, right.

Of all that Michigan.

And I think that the main point, which I will say, and it's not gonna go into this crowning, but I

Right.

That's really like the point that we should have dug our feet into, but because we

Right.

And so I think in terms of the useful category, while it is very funny, we lose

We have to now I, I wanna go and look at other reviews and say, did other people have

Or is this just stuff in a bad mood who wouldn't be pleased by anybody?

And like took somebody that was a little bit nerdy or a little bit, whatever, and took it to

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

I mean, that

portion.

really

that analogy.

I thought that was an interesting analogy.

Like, I don't think it is the same to say, like, if someone stole my CDs, I wouldn't say

And she was like, well, no, you know, first of all, CDs, you know, I thought was

But like also no, like if the locks on your.

You

Car didn't work like two weeks after you drove it off the lot.

And that was why your, your CDs got stolen then.

Yeah, you would go.

And I think that, that, you know, that's more accurate,

Yeah, I think really, like, I think you're right.

Like I think I got lost in the interaction between the sales associate, but I think

Nearly $2,000 item stopped working really?

Is that like, there was no communication.

Then you had to follow up nine days later, then you had to wait three extra days to hear back.

I wonder if that includes the weekend,

and, and imagine how stressful that is when

like, exactly.

And this is after the 15 days.

So like the father, you know, days are just ticking where the

you have

On top of the fact that it isn't even for you, it's like you're

Exactly.

It's like, no, truly like no good deed goes unpunished.

is seeping with anxiety.

I get

Yeah.

I, I do think that I do think that Steph is being truthful.

Like I don't, I like don't

I think that they're like shady, but I think it's like, their personality is

Like, let's go get drinks and they are an elite reviewer.

So, you know, as a store owner, if there's one kind of person you Donn don't

I wonder if this it person I'm assuming is not the same person that

I'm assuming it's not, cuz I wonder if this is gonna be a typical interaction.

I was

Yeah.

I mean, like I said, I think you would, based on the fact that we did go a little

So I Donn don't think it, it like, you know, puts the final kibosh on

I also loved Apple's store with, with a lowercase S.

Yeah.

I thought that was funny.

which I think it was like similar to our conversation about like, do you go to

Do you go to the proper, proper, no.

And apple store, or do you go to is an apple store with a lowercase?

S

Spelling is good, right?

spelling and grammar is good.

Lots of fun, little parentheticals throughout you ready to crown.

All right, let's do it.

Let's crown staff.

So Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards in an

We will simultaneously reveal our ratings

Queens are Tabulating.

Tabulating.

All right.

I'm holding up four crowns.

Trey is holding up four and a half crowns.

All right, Trey, why four and a half crowns for stuff.

I just thought it was so entertaining.

I thought it was so funny.

I don't know that I agree with Steph's attack nor approach to life

I, but it was really entertaining to me and it do, it would make me want to see

I took the half crown off because ultimately girl, they fixed your computer for you and didn't charge

Sure.

Good.

Yeah,

So why are you like swearing them off?

You're never gonna deal with them again.

Maybe your it person was having a bad day or maybe they thought you were a secret shopper.

And so they weren't going to talk

they thought she was a secret shopper, they should have behaved better though.

Yeah.

So I said four and a half because I think it's really useful.

I think it's really funny, but, uh, I don't think that I interact in

And I don't think that everyone's gonna encounter this and hopefully most people

So why did you say four?

I went with four for most of the same reasons.

I kind of like staff, even though she's a bit, you know, spicy, I'm a fan.

I did take off the one crown because I thought we were attributing a lot of

To this particular store.

And that's where I felt like we, we sort of lost the fight a little bit.

That being said, I would read this review, wanna do a little more

So there was impact there.

It was entertaining and really got high marks on all the other categories.

So for that reason, I went with four crowns for Seth.

Love that I'm so surprised with the free cussing that this is an elite

I guess that Yelp does not discriminate against, you know, language

Right.

Thank

Well, good job.

Fun review.

you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, Trey.

Well, I think we've done it.

As hard as it is to believe.

And we have reached the most Regal portion of our show.

Trey, who are you inducting tonight for

My Royal line.

All right.

Very interesting.

Well, I actually have a listener's induction, so I got a DM

love that love that.

from a listener on Instagram, whose handle is.

He who is into and he who is into hi,

Hi.

they would like to induct the film.

Shaza

my God.

Okay.

Continue.

so wait, what did you just, oh my God.

About?

Cause there's this whole thing about like Shaza versus

Yeah.

Okay.

So I naturally was like, oh my gosh, Shaq.

Oh my gosh.

Yes.

I can't way to induct this.

Like I love that.

So then thankfully right before recording, I did a little Google and the results were

He doesn't look anything like Shaq.

So then I was like, wait, Didn't I see something about the Bernstein bears and Kaza

Where we, we MIS

Oh, yay.

Yeah.

Oh, the something effect the, the, like the, yes.

Yes.

then I was like, oh, okay.

So then I found Kaza, why do we all think it was Shaza?

Okay.

So there's a whole thing with Shaza.

I have to find, just give me one, one second, cuz I wanna get this right.

Cuz I like actually did a lot of research about this, so I'll be able to talk

Okay.

So there is this thing.

Yes.

It, it goes into this whole effect where.

A bunch of kids, like our age in the nineties, remember two movies Shaza which starred

Check.

And apparently there's like a whole government conspiracy thing where for whatever reason, this

And it's actually like really hard to find it.

On the internet.

Like, even if you Google Shaza, like you said, you found that other movie, you didn't find

They even did.

A parody of it, where they kind of recreated it.

And so now people are saying, you're remembering this parody.

You're not remembering the real thing.

And there's a lot of people who feel like we're all being whistle

In fact, in an interview, ironically, on a podcast, which, you know,

This was a few years ago.

Sinbad did say.

There was in fact, a movie called Chiam that he started, that he was told by the government or

I Donn Donn.

It's like a whole thing.

Trey, the idea, I guess, beyond like why would the government wipe our memories of this movie?

Shaza is it's become more of this generalized conversation of.

If this then what?

Right.

So like if the government is capable of erasing our memories of particular events, and this movie

What else are they hiding?

And people are passionate.

Like if you wanna have fun, get on Reddit and look up Shazam or Google Shaza, but Google Shaza

Okay, this is like

did this person that wrote in, who was giving this nomination?

Did they give any other detail?

They were just like, I wanna nominate Shaza.

they said, S H a Z a M exclamation mark, which is the title

So he who is into, on Instagram.

Did you mean Sinbad?

Did you mean Zachary Levi?

Did you mean Shaq to help?

Because we're trying

Right.

Did you mean Kaza,

Did you mean this whole conspiracy theory, which is much darker

right?

I hope that it's a conspiracy theory and it's not systematic racism and people are

Some people said that like, some people that's the mandala effect or whatever

It is very weird.

Like I do feel like I vaguely remember Simbad playing a genie, but that's the whole joke is

Well, I mean, the minute you said Sinbad, I was like, so what is that about?

But I don't remember Kaza.

I don't remember the title Kaza.

Why, why would I naturally think that that word Kaza is Shaza they're two different words.

I don't know.

I don't know.

We all do it.

Well, for that reason, I am inducting Shazaam

But the thing about the Bernstein bears is that

It's Bernstein Bernstein.
