Yay.

Yay.

We've been getting some questions always about what

All of that.

What is so hopefully that

Hopefully that answers it.

Yeah.

I mean, I, do you guys ever have that feeling when you just find a new TV show

It's called my claim to fame.

I've been watching it on Hulu.

It's hosted by Kevin Jonas and then the other one, the one that's not.

I think it's Kevin and, and then the Frankie, the one that's not in the group.

Are you there?

Are you alive?

I, I've never heard of, never heard of these Jonas people.

What?

The Jonas brothers?

Nick Jonas.

Right?

Joe Jonas.

and Kevin, isn't it.

Kevin

Kevin,

let's look up these Jonah

the Jonas brothers,

It's Kevin, isn't it.

Yeah, you're right.

I've literally never heard Kevin Jonas , but I recognize his face.

anyway, here's the deal.

So I, I start watching the show.

It's called your claim to fame, and it's all these people that are related to celebrities.

They give you like little hints here and there about who they are.

And then at the end of the week, you have to say, like, I think that Trey is related to.

I Donn know carrot top, cuz you look so much like him and, and and then if you're

Now I think what I've explained is that the show is very dumb and I

So I've been watching it because now I'm hooked and that's what happens when

And then the next thing you know, you're like fangirling over these

And so, so

that was spoiler.

spoiler.

That was just, I made that up because I didn't wanna spoil, but the point is, yeah,

And so I go to Hulu.

And I happened to catch it, like on the day that it came out and then I had to

Is there a new episode?

So I don't wanna be so pretentious as to think that people have that experience with our show.

However, I do love that feeling of being like, I have to wait another week for a show.

Oh, there's this like extra thing that I can see that can sort of get me through to the next week.

And if you're a true fan of the show, that's what I think Patreon is.

It's like, I like listening to these reviews while I go on my walk and

Well, like hop on Patreon, and then there you go.

We're, we're gonna join you for two walks instead of one, you know, it's exciting.

That's the connection piece.

I was like, why is she talking about your claim to fame and Kevin Jonas?

the long, it was the long way around.

But I think that, like, I'm just saying, like, I understand that feeling, you know?

of course.

Well, we all do now.

Cause we're so used to binging that we like the thought of having to wait,

stuff is torture.

Wait, okay, wait.

So Chelsey and I are recording right now and it, this is not a normal recording day.

It was spur the moment we're both doing it.

And the fact that Chelsey is here is actually no joking, pretty remarkable.

Yeah.

Okay.

This is like very intense and serious.

So I want you to walk us through what happened.

Okay.

So I've been pretty fortunate.

I did get the flu at the beginning of the year, but I've not gotten

Thank you.

But unfortunately the day before I was supposed to fly home for a trip back east and to do a

Even though I have two boosters, but you know, I have some immunocompromised stuff and I took

And I was feeling much better.

And then I was put on steroid.

And long story short, my like heart had a real reaction to the steroids.

It was beating very fast.

It was probably one of the scariest things I've ever experienced in my life.

I was sitting completely calm, watching a Netflix special on like Netflix and chilling,

And I had this horrible episode that left me in the hospital for like almost 14 hours.

And now I have to wear this heart monitor attached to my like body.

It's like two to three weeks and it's just a saga and it's scary.

And it just reminds us that life is so precious.

And I'm so lucky.

That's really what, what it all comes down to is that I was very scared and it ended up just

And I didn't have any blood clots and I'm very, very fortunate.

And, and the entire time that I was there.

You're so lucky.

You're so lucky.

You're so lucky, but because this is a show about complaining.

I just

balancing the scales.

Lodge Complaint.

I just wanna say that, like I waited a really long time to get into the emergency room.

Like that was very, very stressful.

I had a very nice, it's never the nurse's fault.

We know it.

It's not the nurse's fault.

It's not the doctor's fault.

It's not their fault that like, it takes so long to get back there, but like still,

And, and also the other thing I just wanna complain about.

So I'm very happy about the, having the heart monitor, because I know that

But the tape that adheres to your skin with this monitor, it's, it's very itchy.

Okay.

It's very uncomfortable.

It, it, doesn't, it just like doesn't allow my body when I'm sleeping to like, be in

It's very annoying.

It's one of those things that I have to be aware of at all times that it's there.

I also like.

Okay guys, she doesn't follow the rules all the time.

They told me I couldn't shower with it on like for 24 hours, but I don't know

I showered, like I'm not gonna not shower, but like I put a Ziploc bag over it.

So I'm like negotiating with a Ziploc bag while trying to clean myself.

We all need to be grateful for the moments that we're healthy.

because this is a pain in the ass.

And I just wanna go back to normal.

God willing.

I wanna heal up.

I wanna be fine.

And this is a little scary to think that.

So many aspects of my health, like my blood pressure and my heart rate that

I know.

Cause I went to the doctor right before I got COVID are now like elevated and I don't know,

So if you guys have any advice for me, please like slide into the DMS.

Let me know how you lived with long COVID or if you had any of these symptoms, let me know.

Or if you've ever worn a heart monitor and you have an easy way to like shower and enjoy

Also

Oh,

me know.

So that was a very long winded Complaint and gratitude moment, but that's it.

That's where I am right now.

wow.

Well, I'm glad that you are sitting up and you're not in bed

and that you were

Yes.

to jump on and do a recording and.

I am sitting up for the first time in a while.

Yeah.

I appreciate it.

I Donn know that the listeners do too.

Your commitment to

I have been missing you Trey and

know it's been so long.

I'm, I was like looking for an excuse to do this, and I'm just

And I can't wait to dive into some reviews, but first.

I gotta know if you have a Complaint, Trey.

I mean, I've been talking so much.

I haven't even heard about your week.

So I've had a good week.

I, we went away for my nephew's first birthday party in Charlotte and David

Oh, Ooh.

it said it was a four star hotel and

it

it was

gross.

No, it was really gross.

Also.

This is not the Complaint, but it was a king size bed.

And they had like the little, like, you know, those pee guards like to cover the mattress

Yeah, like a wa like a mattress protector.

Yes.

It was a Queen size mattress protector.

So it just kept scrunching off of the bed, which

it was a Queen sized mattress on, on a king bed.

Yes, it was very clearly the wrong

It was the wrong size.

It was so tiny.

Like you would sit on the bed and then all four corners

Oh, my God.

That

that's

a slight exaggeration, but it was so annoying cuz I don't.

annoying.

I don't like touching a hotel betting to

No, Ugh.

anyway, that anyway, it was a good week.

My actual Complaint.

Yeah.

Okay.

I am all, actually, I am a person that if there is a self checkout, I'm gonna run to it.

But my Complaint is the sensitivity of the scale on these self checkouts.

CVS is a huge culprit of this.

You'll go, you'll swipe it.

And then you have to put it in the bagging area because there's a scale under it.

And that's how they determine if you're a thief or

right, right.

sensitive that it'll be like, please place item in the bagging area.

and like a siren will go off and the cop light on top goes off.

And then like, if it happens two or three times in a row, then like it freezes the screen and

And then some person who's working there that doesn't want to come over to, you has to.

Come over type in a code, swipe their little card.

And it's like, the item is right here.

I, I like I, or it's like too large to fit in the tiny minuscule CVS bags

Or even in the bagging area, what do I do with the other stuff I have to, like,

Well, that's what happens.

It's like, if you buy a like 18 roll of toilet paper, you can't fit it on the.

right.

That's just like a random occurrence that really bothers me.

And it really does.

Speaking of heart rate, it makes me palpitate at a much higher frequency

just buying candy.

You know, it makes me so angry.

And so I was like, oh, this is like a common day Complaint that I'm

I think that the best thing that you just said in terms of like recapping

That they have to go over and help you.

Meanwhile, I have never had a self-check experience that didn't require like at least

And yet that person always seems like, all right, well here I gotta go do my job, I guess.

Like, it's so weird.

They're never at the ready

or like eager or on it?

No,

like with the regularity that it happens, you would think that

Like they're like, they're waiting, they're waiting to, to run.

are my favorite to watch cuz they literally like in a split second will be like,

Exactly.

intense.

I know.

But I think that, I think people with this job should like have that, like that kind of intensity

That's probably the problem.

Right.

I'm sure that's a huge factor in this, but assuming that we're paying them appropriately,

That should

to do those jobs.

I think that that should be part of the,

Yes.

Have you been a ball boy and or girl

or girl or they,

or them above them.

or a ball?

A ball them.

Uh, okay.

So that's all of that.

Okay.

So

yes, as you were segueing beautifully before, why didn't we jump into some online reviews chills

I think we should do it.

I've missed it.

I'm ready.

Let's go.

here?

We.

Review That Review.

As you know, we are your trustee review Queens.

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

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

It's a very Regal process that we call.

Assess that Kvetch.

That's right.

Very vehicle.

And so with that in mind, Trey, what have you brought in for us today?

All right.

So I'm finally doing it.

If I could tell you, I'm gonna try to underestimate, I think that I have literally

This is an underestimation probably four times.

And at the last minute I have changed and I did it two weeks ago.

The last time I did a review and here we are, where I'm officially doing it.

This actually was submitted by a listener back in like when we were in like the tens or twenties.

So.

We're almo.

I mean, now it's literally been a full year at this point, so apologies.

But today this is a new source.

This is from a website called influencer stir.

Oh,

So not an influencer, it's an influencer influencer.

like the straw that serves the drink.

So this is a review written by someone named Amber F

Okay.

four.

Loom deodorant for underarms and private parts.

22 ounce propel.

Jasmine rose.

This is interesting.

I, I think it might be LUME

Is it LUME okay.

Cuz this

I'm not a hundred percent sure though.

I,

I'm gonna have, I'm gonna have a few, um, pronunciation issues.

So should I just say LUME that probably sounds better than Lum.

I can be wrong.

We'll just say LUME for today.

Should we, oh, wait here.

Oh, loo if this is saying loom, so you might be right, maybe we all just say it wrong.

All right.

So everyone listening, loom LUME whatever, you know, don't attack

don't attack us.

So this is, this is Amber F's One-Star-Zinger review on influencer.com.

It's important to note here that Amber F has a little ribbon icon.

next to it that says beauty, junky expert level eight.

Interesting.

I don't know if that's good or bad.

so I think that that's good.

I think that, I think it means

It's higher than seven other levels.

I don't know much about influencer, but I think that the idea with this whole ranking

Like I should listen to you more.

So if you have eight,

So you've heard of influencer.

Yeah.

I feel like, like in the zeitgeist.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

So yeah, here we go.

This is Amber F's One-Star-Zinger influencer review for loom deodorant.

I keep seeing loom ad videos on YouTube and the woman who created it talks about how

She changed everything about deodorant end and acts as if she is the first.

Who has done this it's faults because apparently she never met the creators of Lavalin cream

She probably should have done more research before making that.

used Lavalin for years because it's a cream and a jar parentheses.

They also have roll on and you simply put it on and you can literally

Or even if life has gotten hectic slash busy, you're a single mom that has a

It works that well, kept mine on for 72 hours and not reapplied it.

And it does what loom claims to do.

It's cheaper of course, but it has no scent.

You can buy the foot cream or they have a deodorant cream parenthesis.

You truly can use either for any part of your body in parentheses.

And you put a small amount on and forget it.

They've been doing this for a long.

And it just feels like a rip off every time I see these loom videos claiming

That's great for her that she created a product and it would be fine if she were to create

She could literally be sued for that because her product is identical to lave in

You can use it on private parts, but you definitely can with it being that great

I just hate when new companies try to take credit for something that they didn't truly

That's not okay.

It's shady.

That was such a turnoff in the ads to hear her brag and take credit for something that

Please check out Lavalin instead as they are the OG and deserve the credit that

I Donn don't usually leave bad reviews, but I hate when companies steal from

Wow.

Uh, lava land F I mean, Amber F I mean,

ideas Lavalin

F just kidding.

Amber

have you ever heard of Lavalin?

I remember, like years ago there was a product that sounds

And I'm wondering if that was the Lavalin one.

I Donn know

I do know that the whole sh well, first of all, I Donn, I don't know where

And that's why.

Yeah.

And that's why they say like, you can specifically use it on private parts and

So I know that they do kind of say like, we're the first one, but I think that their

Like you can really use it everywhere.

And that's how they're marketing.

It's not just like, oh, this is an aluminum free deodorant that lasts a long time now.

I just heard, as you said, that loom like a loom and, um, Because it's aluminum free.

So maybe that's why it's loom.

I don't know.

Keep going.

well, okay.

So I I've heard of influencer, I think, but I just wanna be clear.

So is this a site where we're truly going to review products?

it is.

And it is for loom deodorant, which has 130 reviews and the average is four stars.

okay.

So what the hell is this review doing here?

I mean, it's just clearly an ad as annoying as you Amber find the ads for loom.

I find it annoying that you're giving me an ad for another product on the looms page.

Couldn't you have just, first of all.

I don't even believe based on this review that Amber actually even tried the product.

It's almost like she's reviewing the ads.

so very interesting point because nowhere in the review does Amber

Of course it is.

So it's totally an ad.

get the heck.

out Amber, like, it's just, it's one thing to mention a product, which is automatically

We know this, but this review is a full blown ad for this other product.

How is that appropriate?

it does feel to me like Amber is a salesperson for Lavalin.

That's why they're so offended, right?

Like they're in like Avon or something or they're in some MLM that's like

And when they were like, I don't usually write negative reviews.

I was like that wasn't even a negative review.

Right.

You're not even reviewing the

not reviewing

You're just saying they made a false claim.

reviewing their ad.

I'm reviewing your ad.

And I Donn don't like it.

but if you're correct, that loom was created by a gynecologist,

Are we just supposed to believe random Amber F who is a junkie expert level eight,

Yeah.

I thought that was so weird too.

of all, I thought we were like at a certain point.

I got really confused because I, when we were getting into all of the details of using

And I was like, oh, we're still on the Lavalin like, you know, like, I, I was

Like which product are we talking about?

Because I'm not on the Lavalin page, I'm on the loom page.

And I agree, like, just because you said it's okay to use on your privates doesn't mean.

Looms not allowed to say we're the first deodorant made by an OB GYN

Like that is the claim,

Well, it's also ensuring to me that Amber comes in hot at the top here saying

It's a cream and a jar parenthesis.

They also have it on a roll on like, it's like, wait, why are you, why are you screaming?

Because we don't even know where you're coming.

Like, what are

What are you talking about?

Yeah.

LUME is the first deodorant safe to use anywhere under your breast skin, fold

oh,

So that's like what they're saying, but like

tagline.

on the website itself, it breaks down.

Like these are what people like douches, like this is why like, douches

This is why vaginal gels are good or bad.

Like, it is not just like, oh, it doesn't have aluminum in it.

So you can use it there.

I think that the idea behind the cell and every single ad that I've had is

That's not just like, uh, it would probably be okay, cuz it doesn't have aluminum to use there.

We're creating a product that is specifically for that need and is created by a doctor.

There's so many Juin that don't have aluminum.

Now I Donn don't think that that's what Lumin is saying.

The issue is that they're saying that they're the first.

but.

they kind of are, cuz I Donn, I, I can't think of any other deodorant that

Now that I'm hearing that I am sort of like, oh, maybe

Cause I, I don't wanna like roll the thing, like on my private area, but regardless who cares.

Yeah.

It comes in a cream too.

Interesting.

It is that unscented because this one that we're, that Amber has left a

They have ones, I think that are unscented, but yeah,

They sell it as a bundle.

I mean, I personally don't necessarily like a lot of

Like it, it makes me think of like acts it's like every teenage boy has act.

I guess I, but I like the natural deodorant sense cuz they

Like I, I doubt I do have a friend that uses loom and she's been like

She's like, I love it.

Oh, wow.

They should call in.

Yeah, they should.

I'm looking now and they do have it unscented.

So like, usually with these natural varieties, they're doing a sense for people like me who

And then other people who are like, I just don't want any sense.

So they are accommodating everyone.

And you know what the reality is that we didn't get any of that information

No, not at all.

ER, you.

Like Amber F gets an F and like, we're not even at the crowning, but she's getting

Yeah, it's really confusing to me to like go over and leave a review about something

Yeah, or just say, like, I don't support this product cuz I don't like the false

This is a product that I use.

If you wanna hear more about that product, cook this link to my review of blah, blah, blah.

It would still be bad, but like you're wasting so much of our time making us.

All of these, like, that's, this is confusion to me.

My sister's an intellectual property attorney and this is borderline intellectual

I mean, they have the same first letter.

Like I, I can see a world in which someone could be reading this review and like, think that

Well, part of that, I do think the confusion is from like the

Like they do bleed into the other.

It was hard to sort of read it out loud because I feel like the train of thought jumps around.

Yeah,

But okay.

Ultimately, is this valuable

no,

for some reason, it makes me not like Lavalin because Amber's

That's an interesting point, Trey, cuz it's like we're accusing loom

And yet this is a really bad misrepresentation of Lavalin too.

Like I don't know that Lavalin would be thrilled to know that this person

Amber F is lava land, which I'm not willing to let complete go of.

I, I do think that there's a large possibility here that we have some undercover bossing

I mean, we clearly think this is shady.

Do what did you think of what I, I think might have been an attempted humor when Amber is

Well, I come on, I feel like they were like trying to be a little Winky, but at that

You know what I will say that the only, that was the one Mo cuz I was hating

And then when we got to that part, I actually thought.

Maybe I should be a little nicer to Amber F she's got a lot of kids around.

Maybe Amber F is not dealing with like a fully present mind when she's writing this review.

That is the only thing I'm willing to sort of give Amber F a little bit of a pass

I'm just trying to have a moment to scroll on Instagram and enjoy myself.

And I'm spammed by this ad.

And this is the time where it would just take me over the edge and I gotta do something about

And maybe, maybe that was what happened, but short of that,

Yeah, it is so weird that the image they attach to this review

Just, I mean, it's possible, like we've only really harped on how shady that is,

I want everyone to see this and be like, oh, what's this image.

Maybe it's coming from a positive place, but it just really does not read that way because Amber

E exactly like, and everything is a reinvention.

And if you cannot find a way to stand out in the crowd, I do believe that that is your fault.

I have no problem with this company, touting that they are the first deodorant that is intended,

Well, that's funny if.

If that really is the message that's intended in this ad.

And Amber has seen this ad so many times and keeps missing that one little key piece, or

So now they're so angry that this other one's claiming that because it's

You know, it's just all of this Misha where it's like, we're just talking

Right.

right.

Do you think there's any impact for you moving forward?

If you read this

You know, a little bit of sadness for Lavalin for Lavalin,

And I don't really think that that's fair.

And I do feel bad that like, I'm not even giving it the time of day to listen

Finally, I do wanna share.

I looked up Amber F and as of today's recording, they have 468 reviews on influencer.

And today there have been an additional 16 reviews for loom.

So it's now 146 reviews.

Okay.

Not, not 16 more from Amber, just 16 more.

no, no.

Okay.

And it's still rated at four stars.

I Donn know that's a little shady to me, Trey.

I Donn like, again, it's very hard with these elite reviewers or these repeat reviewers

To go on and write these reviews.

And that's why they have so many reviews or is this truly just somebody that like

Oftentimes depending on the style of the writer, especially with the Yelp elites, I can tell

They wanna be in it.

They like it with.

Review and Amber F I am very suspicious.

I don't know if Amber F was paid by lava land, if like, I'd be almost curious to take a

Well, that's

we

I'm literally doing right now.

Are we pimping other products?

So I don't know anything about influencer except for today.

And I see that maybe the first, most recent 20 have a little box LogoVora that says

So influencer her as sending these repeated reviewers samples to write reviews.

That is not the case for loom.

But Amber is that vocal and active in this community that they are now getting samples

So they're being paid in samples for the reviews,

but that wasn't the case for loom.

And Amber was that angry.

I wonder if maybe Amber got a Lavalin sample,

right?

Maybe

but they say they've been using it for years.

does it, yeah.

Has Amber written a review on Lavalin?

Probably.

Oh, I would imagine.

Yeah.

I mean that doesn't really like create or negate anything for me, the fact that

It just feels like Amber F might be a snake in the grass and she might

here's another one.

Amber reviewed Hines, Buffalo, ranch, Buffalo and ranch sauce gave it four stars.

And it says at the bottom in bold incentivized review, what is influencer?

I gotta get on here and start making money.

Yeah, we gotta get on there.

Try

So maybe if I, maybe I could do deeper digging, maybe they were incentivized

that's hearsay.

They could just have been incentivized in the sense that like they bought the product and

I Donn.

Something seems shady.

Something definitely seems shady here.

Oh, they have one for a menstrual cup.

All right.

There, maybe there's fertile ground here with, uh, Amber.

Maybe they'll be back on the

show.

Anyhow.

How are you feeling with this loom review?

Do you think you could rate

I'm feeling very ready to crown.

I mean, I feel like I'm like not how many cent centimeters I'm crowning.

I'm dial I'm fully dilated.

she's crowning.

All right, here we go.

crown.

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

We will simultaneously reveal our rating.

The Queens are Tabulating.

So.

Okay.

I had a feeling you were gonna do that.

So I'm holding up zero crowns.

Trey is holding up a half crown.

If I could, I would give zero crowns and I can.

So I'm going to,

amen.

is zero crowns for you.

I just don't see the value.

I cannot give any kind of points to a review that I feel like is distracting is taking.

Off of the course with my goal of trying to decide whether or not I should buy this product.

The fact that the company may or may not be making first claims for getting their first

That's what I wanna know.

I didn't get any of that from Amber F I got a whole bunch of Misha that I did not sign up for.

Sorry, Amber, I don't trust you.

Zero crowns.

Why a half crown Trey

because, okay.

There's a few parts to this.

I do think that as much as I wanna say, there's no value here.

This is no impact.

I can't, it's not trustworthy.

I do think there is a little bit of a lasting impression on me because as I continue to

Untrustworthy is Lavalin a better product.

Should I now go down a Lavalin rabbit hole and see if that's,

you know, like, I

worried about you.

Trey you're too easily influenced.

possible.

I also just, I did a half crown also because I don't wanna be completely slanderous here

That if a review is incentivized, that means it's dishonest.

Cuz I think that people can be paid for opinions and give a negative opinion.

So I just wanna

I just don't.

in the atmosphere.

I give you your right to, to honor your half crown, but I'm just gonna say I don't.

See the, like, what is the value of this review?

The only thing they're slandering about is the fact that they're saying they got there first.

They're not saying that the product is good or bad.

They, they don't even have the product.

They're just slandering the ads.

I think it's unclassy and, and poor taste to.

Maybe you could like offer another suggestion of a product, which we don't really like on the show.

This one is blatantly going the other way.

blatant.

But as someone who didn't know how to say influenced her into

I, I have never heard of Lavalin.

If I am like, I would like to be more conscious of what I rub on my body.

I want to try aluminum free deodorant.

At least Amber F has told me of another competitor that has maybe been in the game longer.

And now at the end of this review, the only impact is now I know of another brand.

If I want to do more research on my own, I do think it is in, in very poor taste.

Amber doesn't even have the product get outta here.

Don't give

Get outta here.

but now I know of another product.

So that's why I said

All right.

Fair enough.

All right.

Half crown for knowledge, I get

indeed fiery review.

Huh?

what?

That really got me going that I hope my heart monitor's gonna be okay.

My doctor are gonna be like, what happened during

funny.

Cuz as we were going through it, I really was like, oh, I can see how this was submitted.

Early in the show because we have, it really highlights things

So it's funny

Oh yeah.

a year ago cuz it covers

we're like, you advertised another product in this review.

You're outta

repeating yourself so much.

This has nothing to do.

You didn't even buy the, you know, it's like all of those hot button

And it still makes us angry and these reviews are out there.

They are out there.

Thank you to mystery listener

Thank you.

for submitting this fun review that I had a good time breaking down with Trey.

And now Trey, that we've, you know, kind of been a little, I don't know, I'll say I've been a

Yeah, let's shift the energy.

Hopefully your heart rate is healthy.

Amber F doesn't have any power over us.

that's right.

I'm gonna Palo Santo her away.

I'm gonna get the good energy here by Amber F.

Well now in this cleansing breath, why Donn don't we switch extremes here?

Chelsey.

We have reached the most Regal portion of our show.

Who are you inducting today

My Royal line.

Well, Trey, thank you for asking.

And it is a very exciting day today because today I have decided I'm gonna step outta the spotlight.

I'm gonna give the stage to one of our listener Queens, because we've got,

Listener voicemail.

yeah, we do.

We did it.

So let's take a listen and, and let somebody else induct someone.

Hi, um, my name's Aaron and I just wanted to nominate for the

Um, it's a crafting store and.

Yeah, I'm obsessed with these coupons.

Typically you can get a 40% off coupons, often a 50% and rarely but possible, a 60% off coupon.

And what's amazing about them is they let you do two transactions at one register with one coupon.

So that means you can get two items.

And I guess the intent is that you buy other things at regular prices, but I never do.

So I just keep going in and you can also leave and then come back, you know, later,

The caveat is that you can't use those coupons on already discounted sale products

So that's kind of a thing, but you can always get a 20% off your entire purchase

And I know this sounds like I work for them, but I don't.

I'm just obsessed.

And so you just do this multiple times, which I do.

And I have a million emails where I'm constantly getting coupons from JoAnn.

And then that applies to actually the discounted and clearance items.

So then if a product is already listed on sale for 40% off, if you apply

Um, but you just have to be careful because Joan.

Regular prices are actually generally higher than other places like Michael's for instance.

So I avoid trying to ever buy things, uh, from JoAnn's without a.

That said some Michaels actually take competitor coupons, which makes JoAnn's coupons.

That Michael's even more powerful because their prices are already lower.

But the Michaels near me stopped accepting JoAnn's coupons.

And I think it was because one time I went in five times in a day to get like paint fall for 50% off.

And I just kept changing my clothes in my hat.

So anyway, I guess that's a negative thing on Michael's, but a positive thing

Are incredible.

So, you know, if you want crafting stuff or I Donn know they have like, uh, seasonal decor, whatever.

Again, I do not work for JoAnn's.

I'm just obsessed with coupons, but.

Oh, my God.

That was amazing

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Well, wait, well, wait, well wait, wait,

Yeah.

Aaron.

Yes.

I used to work at JoAnn.

Oh yeah.

don't know who this Aaron is.

It's a listener voicemail.

I

Did you have people that abuse the coupons to the level that Erin does?

I'm simultaneously angry that I never thought of this,

Tyra.

I don't know who you are, Aaron, but I want you to friend me on Instagram.

Cause I think you're hilarious based on that monologue.

The thing about Joan.

Okay.

There's several things I have to break down here.

Yes.

Never go to a JoAnn without the coupons.

If you're really serious about it, you must get their app because the coupons change every week.

But yes, you can never use coupons on items that are discounted or on sale.

So they have to be regularly priced.

I just don't.

I mean, I don't know that I'm that good at the coupon game to be able to pull this

Erin is an extreme

I mean, he should be on that

Wait, but Aaron, I wanna tell you.

JoAnn will accept competitor coupons.

You were talking about how Michael's may be stopped, but you can ask the person that's

You have to show.

You can also get the price matched that happens all the

You know what?

I bet Aaron didn't realize when he called and gave us all that information, that he would be

I never disclosed on the, on the show that I worked at, JoAnn, I,

It was really sad.

I did tear up when I gave my notice because I loved working at the

And I feel like my heart is warmed by Erin's

I just wanna know what Aaron's doing with all the crafts and the paint,

I thought it was

funny.

That Aaron talked about going to Michael's and decoy hats and different shirts.

Like all of those things you could purchase at a craft store,

yeah.

Oh, true.

truly, but truly working at JoAnn did teach me, never go to buy by baby, never go

And yes, by joining their mailing list.

This really does sound like an ad for JoAnn.

thrive on the coupons.

There are always sales.

Yes.

And there are always coupons, never go and do not use a coupon.

Truly you're wasting money.

Everything is priced for the coupons.

You must use the coupons.

So I thoroughly concur with errands induction.

I'm like emotional.

I'm so pleased.

Everyone listening.

Please imagine how sad we all would be.

How much information we would not have at this current moment.

If Aaron had sat on that nomination, are you kidding?

true.

Look at every, like I just, I wrote down when he was doing that, I was like, wow.

You know, like the

The passion?

We just took a

such quality information.

I just got a masterclass in JoAnn fabric

Aaron, please, please.

Friend me on Instagram.

I wanna be your friend.

I think that's so funny.

And yes, it is an honor, even though this Chelsey was doing this one, we will both simultaneously

Joan's coupons as our Royal Highness this week.

Wow.

Fantastic induction learning new things.

And I really like, I have been feeling crafty lately, so I think I just might have to act

Have you been to a Joan?

Oh in my day.

Oh yeah, for sure.

I've been to a Michael's

we didn't have them.

I mean, they do exist in South Carolina.

I, I now know, but I had never been inside of a JoAnn until I worked at one because in

the south it was all

How dare you spread bad information.

Amber, now my dad owned a Ben Franklin crafts who was like a targeted competitor

They had like framing and plants and, you know, craft stuff.

Yeah, JoAnn really separates itself from Michael's because they have an outrageous

It's been rebranded.

It's just Joan.

It's just

If the JoAnn LogoVora is not lime green, then your store has not been updated yet.

The old LogoVora has a little like squiggly between the J squiggly.

Yeah.

Is it like more hunter green?

The hunter green is an old one.

It it's lime green now.

And it's one word, Joan.

JoAnn.

I also in my tenure at JoAnn Aaron, you'll find this interesting.

I worked the night shift, so I would, occasionally I would go in at midnight

Unloading the trucks from corporate listening to podcasts while the uh, store was closed.

Anyway, how did we get into this anyway?

Yes, Erin.

Thank you so much, please.

Please be the Aaron and call in one eight fifty review zero and share

my God, I can't stop smiling about JoAnn.

That is so funny to me.

And that was a two minute

that was a nice long monologue.

That could be a thing.

Like I could see mark temane coaching children on that monologue.

That would be great.

I'm sure Aaron would be honored.

Oh my God.

Aaron, look at that.

You inducted JoAnn.
