We are the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing.

That is Chelsey Donn.

that is Trey

And together, we are,

The Queens,

but first, Chelsey Goose.

Tell me, is there anything that you would like to

Lodge a complaint,

about this week?

of course.

I always plan a complaint and then something just happens in real time and I'm like, well, that's the complaint this week.

Tell us.

when you know, you're on a very tight timeline and like you're just getting right to the corner there.

You feel like, okay, I'm doing it.

Everything's okay.

And then all of a sudden everything starts to go wrong.

Everything that can go wrong.

Does go wrong.

If you have a dog, they shit diarrhea, sorry to be gross, but all over the carpet, you know, the electricity is not working properly, so the lights aren't working, I know that it's Murphy, like literally my mouse is not working, so I can't scroll through the script, like everything that could go wrong feels like it is going wrong, and I

Oops.

There we go, see, right in the middle, and then we get a sound cue, it's just like, I don't know what it is, because somebody recently told me that we're not in Mercury Retrograde right now, but like, what the hell, I can't blame Mercury, I gotta keep blaming Murphy, I know I blamed Murphy as like, or I complained about Murphy, I think it's one of my first ever complaints on the show, and I'm still complaining about Murphy, Give.

Me.

A break.

Okay?

Let's just not pile it on.

I have a busy day, we got things to do, I would really appreciate it if we could just bless the rest of the day.

Cause I'm done.

I'm done, and it's not even, like, noon yet.

I hear that, that is an ongoing thing, even in my own life, but I do want to point out, all of our Patreon members that are watching, I got new merch!

Woo!

That's right.

Chelsey is currently wearing our Kvetch sweatshirt 1.

0, but I am wearing the Kvetch sweatshirt 2.

0, which I think is so much cuter, all designed by Chelsey.

So if you want to be stylish with us, there is a litany of purchasable merch.

If you go to reviewthatreview.

com slash shop.

Do it.

Do it now.

Now's the time.

this, this is like embroidered.

It's not like a weird like iron on thing.

It's like multicolored, super cute.

I'm obsessed with it.

I don't do iron ons.

But did you notice that the colors in the kvetch are the colors from our logo?

Oh, that makes so much.

Oh, that makes sense.

So it's like kind of like a rainbow kvetch moment.

Yes.

are pulled from our Review That Review logo, that is one of my faves.

It's so cute.

on you, Trey,

It's really I love it.

Anyway, I hear the complaint.

I acknowledge where you're at.

And I think we're gonna like move positively into the future.

Chelsea, you want to go head to head?

Please, let's do it.

Let's go

that kvetch,

Queens, today is another versus episode, meaning we are going to be covering both one star and five star reviews on the same exact topic.

That's right!

For this Versus episode, Trey has selected the 5 star and I have selected the 1 star!

So, to determine who reads first, we gotta flip that quarter!

Alright, who

It's your turn, heads.

All right.

I guess I win.

Today, we are collecting data from the internet, from both ends of the spectrum of TheKnot.

com, which we haven't been to in ages, for a wedding band named Emerald Empire Band,

Wow.

Wow.

time of this recording, there are 314 reviews on The Knot, with an average score of 4.

9 out of 5, that's very high.

So wait, so how do we have a one star, if it's 4.

it's that 1.

so many five star reviews, but there are always a few people

That got some gripes.

Well, let's see how it goes today.

So according to the About This Vendor section on TheKnot.

Alright, so with all that background info, let's jump in!

Review That Review,

I mean, with all the R E S P E C T, I just feel like that's like too many services

It is um, it's more like a wedding event rather than a wedding band.

in your lane.

Like I want to go to my specialist for my specialty.

I'm fine with you referring out,

Interesting.

I don't know.

That's just the way I

Well, but that's a great point you make because it does seem to me like they're teaming up with this company called Lightwave Event Artists.

but I don't know.

Something about it just feels a little

Correct.

Which is why I included it.

right?

I know I did like that.

All right.

Wait, I want to, wait, I came up with a really fun segue.

Can I use it?

Chelsey, it's your turn to take the floor.

Get it?

Do you get it?

yes,

Got it.

I got it, thank you, thank

She's dancing on out to the center of the stage.

that's right, okay, so guys, this review was written on my birthday,

No.

Oh, no.

star, Review, perhaps an anomaly for Empire Band, but let's see what Alice P.

has to say, here we go.

The absolute worst!

I cannot say Emerald Empire Band ruined my wedding because the groom and I married and that was the most important thing, but they definitely ruined the reception.

The band was a total waste of money and I wish we would have just made our own playlist.

Oh, oof.

They were incredibly unprepared and disjointed.

Hmm?

What?!

What the?

What?

No.

No?

the receiving line to tell them to begin to play for the cocktail hour and also had to stop them from playing the father daughter song out of order.

Oh no.

Our instructions on the band worksheet were clear.

Hmm.

Fun.

for the reception,

Fun.

Don't

by TLC.

go.

Seriously?

How is that dance music?

Hmm.

single Motown song was played the

No.

No.

evening.

I

Alright.

What?

What?

At 10.

20, my coordinator went

I.

What?

Who?

Who?

I.

Who?

I.

I.

What?

dance with my mother,

Oh,

my sisters, my friends at my own wedding because the band played the most terrible sets I've ever heard.

This was the most important piece of the reception to me, and Emerald Empire Band destroyed it.

If you want good music at your reception, DO NOT HIRE EMERALD EMPIRE BAND!

Was that in all caps with periods between?

It wasn't one of the periods, but it was all caps, and then at the end, there were like a million exclamation points.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Great.

God.

Well, okay, what's really glaring to me, they mention the word coordinator almost at the end, and I don't know what that means, is that like the wedding planner, or is that like the producer that the band includes,

I get the impression that it's like private wedding planner, because I feel like coordinator, like if it was the producer for the band, they're not going to just be like, all right, guys, let's just plug in a phone.

well that's my major question here is, who's to blame here, because they mention the band worksheet, which I'm very curious, like what does it ask, does that include, I Give us a timeline and the reason I'm getting this nitpicky is because if there's a court, I want to know what coordinator means because if it's the wedding planner, the wedding planner is the stage manager.

They're the one that that like should be going up to the band instead of the bride leaving the receiving line.

Also, the wedding planner should be divvying out Uh, timeline of events so that the bride gets to dance with all their people.

Then I also have a question about like, if you weren't dancing, like if, like, I don't know what comes first, the chicken or the egg.

Does the dance music start and then everyone comes to the dance floor or does everyone come to the dance floor and then they start playing music?

I mean, the dance music happens

I think there has to be, Come on, everyone, let's dance.

Let's get this party started.

Like there's that,

Funk kind of is that song,

right?

Let's

especially in 2015 for sure.

That was like the song that would bring people out and

and you suss out how the event's gonna go.

yeah.

And then if everybody's on the dance floor and they're dancing and having, you're like, Oh, we got to like keep the dance hits going.

I mean, most importantly though, Trey, like, If there is sheet that I'm filling out for this band, you, did you have a band at your wedding?

We chose to have a DJ, but our DJ was like, I don't want to hear like a description, I want examples.

So, a list of like, mellow love songs, like they want, he wanted specific examples, which I think is smart, because then it's interpretable.

Also, I thought Muzak was like Kleenex, it's like a brand of like weird background music in elevators.

I might be a brand, but I feel like now it's just known as like, yeah, elevator music, basically.

So is that the live band playing that and there's no vocalist?

a little confused about that.

Like, I was

Me too.

is the live band just like orchestrating Muzak esque things without vocals?

I mean,

doesn't have vocals, right?

I thought it was like instrumental.

Yeah, like covers almost.

You know, it's an interesting one star because I am getting value here because I remember when we prepared for our wedding, I didn't know anything because I had only maybe been to two weddings in my entire life.

So I didn't really know.

And reading this, I'm sort of hearing Okay, I really need to think about this because if they're gonna take two minutes between songs That's an instant vibe kill.

Yeah, that is like Unacceptable.

That is unacceptable.

Like, that was a beat, like, how could you possibly keep the energy going if you're taking two minutes in between each song to, like, regroup?

Yeah, that doesn't make any like I it it just feels unfathomable to me which again

list and we're

That's what you would think Right and the drummer is leading into the next song as it's ending like

exactly.

right because you're not applauding necessarily

No, this isn't a concert,

See, that's again.

It's again why

between concert songs.

Well, that's again why I'm wondering if there's a wedding planner involved, because oftentimes You just think like, oh, like, we don't need that.

But that job is so important for shit like this, where,

but let's be fair, not everybody's gonna have a wedding planner, so I feel like we

correct,

the blame on the wedding planner.

This is a service, we're paying the band, we're paying the

right?

They should be responsible.

You're right.

they should be ready, they should be

Leading themselves.

Yes, but also like, it is perplexing to me because what kind of a wedding band doesn't understand that like, Oh, it's the receiving line.

sure.

Also, like, isn't there someone announcing, like, now we're doing the father daughter dance?

Like, how does that song get?

played the father daughter song out of order without being like, and now everybody, like, This is a nightmare.

This is a nightmare.

I'm sorry.

I don't know that, like, I walk away.

I understand that there's a 4.

9 overall and that is something, but I don't think I walk away from this feeling like this is avoidable.

Honestly,

It is especially because it's 2015.

It's giving me the impression that like maybe they were in their infancy or maybe it was like all of the C list people.

It wasn't the normal because I see that this company they actually like you can rent them all over the southeast.

It seems like they're based in Nashville, but you can book them in South Carolina and other places Atlanta.

It must be a plethora of people and maybe it was just like all of the C team.

You And, and not.

You have to have insurance for that,

You have to have insurance for that, like, especially if you went to the preview,

right?

The showcase,

so like, if you go to the showcase, you're seeing this band, you pick them based off of that, let's just say, hypothetically, and then this is what shows up after you do everything that they've asked you to do, obviously,

Something's really wrong, really, really wrong,

All the, every time we read one of these reviews, I'm like, and this is why I don't want to have a traditional wedding.

Like, can you imagine?

which is why I'm wondering if there's some sort of context we're not getting, because this is so awful,

Yeah,

which is why I think this is a valuable review, because I'm hearing lots of things that if I was enchanted by all of the other five stars, there are specific points in here that I could be very proactive about.

In the consultation phase.

mean, at very least if I was gonna go into a meeting with them, I would be like, how common is this?

This is

Right.

are you not gonna play the music that I requested?

Is there gonna be long gaps between,

Right.

would really feel based on this review that I'm armed with the questions or the Clarifications that I would want to make

So I'm not looking over my shoulder.

Exactly.

And the, it seems like there was maybe one spelling error towards the end,

There was one that was like, we were there when they meant like we weren't there

which is like a pretty important typo, but by that point we got it.

Do we think it's truthful shady?

I mean, I am believing them.

It just seems so unbelievable though.

I am definitely believing them.

I feel like they've given us enough specifics

Yeah, I agree.

I feel like I believe them.

Like, I believe that this person had this experience and then was like, I need to warn others, especially if there's a high overall, like, people are going to look for the one star

Correct.

I think you're right there.

And, and like, I buy the truthfulness here because it's so specific and, and the things that went wrong.

I mean, the common fluky typical, I mean, it's hard here, because it's a 4.

9, so I don't, I don't know,

is a very interesting one, which is that, like, whether or not it should ever be this way or not, like, did they just end up with the B team or the C team or the D team?

right,

Maybe.

maybe, and how do we ensure that that doesn't happen, I don't know,

Exactly.

So I don't know how common it is.

With a 4.

9, I would think it's not common, but

yeah, the humor, I mean, I did laugh about the jumper song, and it was entertaining for a one star, I think, I mean, I think I could crown, I

crown.

Let's go

Alice.

Alright, so, Chelsey and I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.

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

The Queens are tabulating, Total Score, There's

I don't know why I went so low.

Okay, so I'm holding up three and a half.

Trey's holding up four and a half.

Why four and a half?

Having prepared the five star, I have come into this a little biased, but I do think that Alice really provides a lot of supporting evidence that even if they were a backseat bride or if they were blowing it out of proportion, or I at least can read this and gauge questions and my hiring of them to make sure that i'm not in this circumstance and that is very valuable and that once again is the point of these reviews especially on the not where i feel like maybe you can be persuaded but if it's a one star this isn't just screaming unintelligible it doesn't feel vindictive it really feels like We should have just had an iTunes playlist, which is like the biggest insult I think you could offer.

But they, Alice really wins me over with what you said where there's enough specifics here to where it's like, okay, We were let down here.

We were let down here.

They dropped the ball here.

They dropped the ball here.

They ruined this and this and this, that I'm sort of like, all right, you win.

And one typo, who cares?

Four and a half for me.

So, Chelsey, why'd you say three and a half?

gonna change it to four.

Okay.

the two and I really should have given Alice four.

I've reserved the one just because I feel like overall it's not like a review Queenie review.

Like

Mm hmm.

Trey, Chelsey, Review Queen, One Star Zinger, crowns, inducting, My Royal Highness, inducting,

And so I think Alice deserves at least four crowns and I'm sorry and since it's like nine years later, I hope you're over it and you think back to your wedding and you remember the happy memories and you can kind of let some of this go, but I feel you and what a disappointment, four crowns,

Oh, absolutely, ugh, ugh, alright, we'll let, oh my god, thank god, okay, thank god, what, okay, let's hear this, let's hear it, fingers crossed,

response from the vendor, two months later, on August 12th,

interesting,

Thank you for your comments and concerns.

I can speak for the Emerald Empire Band in saying that we take them very seriously.

hmm,

I'm disappointed that we were not received well.

Let me take a moment to explain the unfortunate circumstances by which this came about.

Okay.

I feel strongly that the service that you received is not in any way normally indicative of our level of quality.

This troubles me and it is something that I take very seriously and feel needs to be addressed to you publicly via this professional platform.

Mm hmm.

Oh.

Wow.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, Trey, T

do think it is important to address the circumstances for which the performance was not satisfactory as well as assure potential clients reading this that we have taken these comments on board And I've taken an active approach to ensure this never happens again.

I am incredibly sorry that it was your event that suffered as a result of this unfortunate circumstance.

And I will continue to do everything in my power to

You

it from happening to another client in the future.

The last thing I would want to do would be to leave you without a band the day before your wedding and I hope that my attempts to reach you and speak this matter through following the event and to provide a significant refund help show that this is not a matter we take lightly.

It should be noted also, That there was no suggestion during the planning stages that 90s music was unfavorable.

Without their lead singer slash leader, the band went with the material they believed would best suit the audience and that they could best execute.

Many parties are thrilled to hear Waterfalls by

Oh god, okay,

sorry that you were not.

The songs that they chose to play are frequent

my god.

Oh my god, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

musical selection.

absence of Motown

Oh my god.

a function of their leader being in the hospital.

Regardless of the above circumstance, it was truly a pleasure working and speaking with you guys in both the months before the event and in the weeks following.

wish you guys all the best and are appreciative of our opportunity to perform for you.

And again, we are very sorry it did not work out better.

Sincerely.

EEB.

It's a very close, good reply.

Yeah.

It all is just coming across as very young to me.

Wait, also it's crazy that I was like right, that it was like the C list, but it's funny because I was like waiting sort of eye roll y for what they would end with, but then they never actually got there, because I actually appreciate the full disclosure, but I was waiting for the comma.

We now have systems in place that this will never happen again, which they never said, because

skirted around it.

they say they've included, implemented, whatever, but I'm like, they've taken it on board, I think is what they said, but to me, I'm like, no, but I need to know that you now will never let this happen again, because we understand that emergencies happen, Which is why, like, you know, the Broadway community has understudies.

It's like, why does the lead, why is there not an understudy leader?

Why is there not someone that can jump in with a two day notice?

Like, which sure, I'm sure that now, if this is as large of a company as it, I mean, they have 314 reviews.

Like, I feel like the company has clearly grown.

They didn't end and die after this event in 2015.

The two month wait period for the reply is concerning to me.

Yeah, I don't know.

It just, it's another thing that I would come with in my consultation.

You know, obviously weddings are booked years, a year in advance at minimum, usually.

And if you have multiple events, like you have to have multiple people in the leader position.

Like, it just, I appreciate the full disclosure.

I think it was too verbose.

They kept going.

Just explained this emergency event happened.

And we're, we have precautions in place so that no other couple is affected like this in the future, period.

You don't have to talk about other people like 90s music.

That drops the ball to me.

It really was going up and up and then plateaued and then really sort of did not stick the landing.

I'm interesting.

I mean, for me, I didn't, I never felt up and up.

I was always annoyed.

Really?

Yeah, I was like, I, the second I read this reply, I was like, F you, like the hospital thing.

Like, I mean, I hate to say so what?

so what?

Yeah, I agree.

I think so,

your like, yeah, okay.

Like, as a person, my heart goes out, of course, to anybody that's in the hospital.

but I'm buying a service.

a service,

Amen.

I don't care.

This is a travesty.

This is completely unacceptable.

You've restated the same sentence over and over again,

Mm hmm.

There's gotta be a fail safe for this.

That's right.

in place.

Like, they almost double down on the excuse when they're then like, but some people like waterfalls.

Like, No, sorry, like, you're not winning me over, and you're also, like, leading the witness when you're saying, like, and we're writing this so that future people that are reading this review will not be, like, deterred, I'm still deterred, I just think we missed something on the tone, like, I do think there's a way to quickly state that,

Yes.

hospital thing.

Sometimes, like, more, like,

Less is more.

but sometimes more is less, I feel like,

Mm hmm.

replies, you know what I mean?

Like, when, like, I'm so sorry we had an emergency happen, but that is not an excuse.

This should never have occurred.

Mhm.

Right.

Right.

never happen again,

Right.

Amen.

This was not a winning reply for me.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's crown it.

The Queens are tabulating.

Total score.

Trey's holding up one and a half crowns, I'm holding up a half crown.

Why one and a half crowns for the reply?

I mean, everything you just said, I feel like it didn't make me as angry, but I feel like they were almost there, and then they just really dropped the ball.

Like, I feel like I am looking at the review from a different lens, so I'm, I think they were successful at that, but I just need them to say, like, we have procedures in place, this will never occur again.

I'm sorry that you were the victim of it.

Why'd you say half?

I said half because I'm happy to know that they did at least do a partial refund.

I feel like that makes me feel a little bit better, even though at the end of the day, like, it's not about the money, like, it is about the memory and the experience.

That's where the half crown is coming from.

But as I've stated, other than that, I don't feel this is successful.

think it speaks well of the company.

I don't like excuses like this and I couldn't give more than half a crown.

Yeek.

I'm

Alright.

to hear the five star review because clearly I'm all riled up now.

And, not to be any certain way, this is clearly the anomaly, because they have a 4.

9 rating.

Alright, well let's do an exhale.

Wee oh,

Okay.

wee oh, wee oh!

Alright, Chelsey, it is game time!

And listeners, I have created a never before existed game.

Today we're going to be playing Is it a dance?

Or is it simply just a little Prance.

Alright, so what this means is, there is a website called Queenstown Weddings, and they have compiled a list of the 200 most requested wedding dance floor songs of all time.

So I'm going to tell you two different songs, and I'm going to be asking you, which one is the dance, which one is the prance, meaning.

You just got to tell me which song ranks higher on the list.

up to dance?

one is more requested than the other?

Got it.

All right, so Dance is, it's more requested.

Prance is less requested.

Fair.

Got it.

Okay, so I have 10 rounds.

Here we go.

Chelsey, when we're comparing the songs Baby Got Back by Sir Mix a Lot against Trey, which All of Me by John Legend.

my god, that's hard.

I know it's hard.

Which song is more requested?

Oh god.

I love Baby Got Back, so I'm gonna say Baby Got Back as a dance, but I feel like all of me is probably more popular at weddings, but I'll just go with Baby Got Back as dance.

Mm hmm, right?

No, no, no, I'm wrong.

I'm

You're right, Baby Got Back is listed as the 52nd most requested song, while All of Me is listed as the 56th.

Oh, close.

really close.

Okay, round two, Chelsey, when you compare the songs Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper Against, Starships were meant to fly, Which song is more requested?

gonna go with starships.

I don't know why.

know.

Whatever.

Alright, so, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ranks as the 60th most requested, and Starships is 150.

oh damn, okay, well,

Oh, also I should say that this list was compiled in 2021.

Okay, number three.

Hooked on a Feeling by Blue Suede.

Ah, hooked on a feelin Versus, Let's Groove Tonight, by Earth, Wind Fire.

Which is more requested?

let's groove tonight, damn, okay, okay,

was, this is also very close.

So at 197, hooked on a feelin but Let's Groove Tonight is 199.

So very, very close.

Okay, Chelsey, Can't Stop the Feelin by Justin Timberlake.

Or, You Shook Me All Night Long by ACDC.

god, shook me, I am not doing well, Trey,

Well this is an interesting case, cause it's not, cause you would think like, oh well if the song is older it's had more time, right, but not so, so, Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake is the number eighteen, You Shook Me All Night Long is number thirty three, so odds are you're gonna hear them both.

At the wedding.

both of those songs.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, well, she's not doing well.

It's okay.

right, but we'll, we'll keep going.

All right, Chelsey.

Livin on a prayer, by Bon Jovi.

Versus, Lookin so crazy in love, got me lookin got me lookin so crazy in love, by Beyonce and Jay Z.

geez.

I'm gonna go with Beyonce.

Why not?

Guys,

Tough.

not my game, not my game.

Okay,

is number 14, but crazy in love is 20.

So also pretty close.

Let's, let's stay with Queen B.

So when you're comparing the songs, I'm a love on top, baby, by Beyonce, Versus, We are,

Oh,

by Sister Sledge,

oh, it's gotta be We're Family.

They play that at every wedding.

We are family.

you're right.

So We Are Family is number 47, and Love on Top is 76, although both absolutely are going to be played at weddings.

Like I would, I would think that Love on Top is probably played more, although,

like so low on it.

although Crazy in Love is 20, so Crazy in Love beats Love on Top, but okay, here we go.

Oh, this is a good one.

Okay, Chelsey, This Is How We Do It,

Love

by Montel William, sorry, Montel Jordan,

Okay.

versus, Summer of 69, 69, which ranks higher?

This is how we do it.

This is how we do it.

on, give it to me.

You're right,

So I did it.

Saw a dance to that at my bat mitzvah.

so yes, This Is How We Do It is number 40, Summer of 69 is 77, okay Chelsey, it's gonna get harder for our last three rounds.

I believe it.

Okay.

Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond, or, Proud Mary Keeps On Burnin Do do do do do do do do, which ranks higher?

I'm gonna go Proud Mary.

I really want to know how David would do on this game.

I feel like David, if you're listening,

I know, David, you have to call in.

you are going to crush it because of all the weddings you've been

So, surprisingly, this shook me to my core.

keeps on burnin rollin

Proud Mary ranks as 175 out of 200.

Oh my god, that can't be accurate.

Sweet Caroline.

Number three,

Number three!

Wow.

requested, but it makes sense because everyone's always like, um, um, um, right?

a bop, and I get that it's definitely on the playlist, but I'm surprised.

Okay.

it surprised me too.

Okay, these last two, don't get mad at me.

Alright, I won't.

All right, Chelsey, which song is ranked highest at a wedding?

Oh, it's with somebody by Whitney Houston.

okay, okay.

Versus, Don't Stop Believin by Journey,

Oh my god, Trey!

Just because she's the queen, I'm gonna always give it to Whitney, even if I'm wrong.

Woo!

you're right, and David Pearlman talks about this all the fucking time, that it is the most played song of all time at weddings, and it is number one on this list,

Okay, it's on

is number seven,

yeah, I was gonna say, it's still hot, because everyone likes to sing that song, too.

alright, and then this one just makes me laugh, our last round, which of these two songs is requested more than the other?

Cha cha slide, real smooth.

Ooh,

Two times by DJ Casper

Side to the right.

or

one?

Yeah.

Electric Boogie, which is the Electric Slide by Marsha Griffiths.

So Cha Cha Slide or the Electric Slide,

God, this is hard.

This is really hard because we're talking 20,

2021.

I feel like if it's and it could be wrong, I'm gonna go with Cha Cha slide only because I feel like the electric slide is sort of like more 90s.

I'm right!

That really surprised me.

So Cha Cha Slide is number 12, but the Electric Slide, AKA Electric Boogie, Is 163.

It was so popular in the 90s, and then the cha cha slide sort of like, took the place of the electric slide.

Right.

do the cha cha slide and the

the electric slide.

That would just be too much.

I mean, I just think of the electric slide as like the song.

Dun dun

you ended on a tie, which means we'll have to do a tiebreaker on the after show.

Well, that was fun, right?

proud of myself.

I really turned it
