Trey Gerrald:How's your week goin?
Chelsey Donn:Trey, my week is going well.
Chelsey Donn:I was a little bit late to the train I started and finished watching in a very short period of time.
Chelsey Donn:The Tinder Swindler.
Chelsey Donn:Have you seen it yet?
Trey Gerrald:Oh, my God.
Trey Gerrald:I just watched it over the weekend!
Chelsey Donn:Oh, my God.
Chelsey Donn:I was a half hour late to a meeting because I had to finish it.
Chelsey Donn:Like, it was insane.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:It really, the, especially the ending.
Trey Gerrald:I did not see coming.
Chelsey Donn:Me too.
Chelsey Donn:I was so upset.
Chelsey Donn:I won't, we won't spoil it, I guess.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it's late now.
Chelsey Donn:It's been out a while.
Chelsey Donn:Like you should have seen it.
Trey Gerrald:I never saw anything about the article either that it's like about or whatever.
Trey Gerrald:But yeah, if you think you have an idea of like how that story is going to conclude,
Trey Gerrald:There's all it reminded me.
Trey Gerrald:There's this incredible podcast called Sweet Bobby.
Trey Gerrald:Have you heard about it?
Chelsey Donn:no, it's like a true crime thing.
Trey Gerrald:No, it's a well, yes, but it's a catfish story and it's,
Chelsey Donn:Does it follow like one narrative story or
Trey Gerrald:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:And in the, I think it's maybe eight episodes, but like the journalist
Trey Gerrald:this person had a 10 plus year relationship with this person, and we're going to go ahead and
Trey Gerrald:It was like, crazy, crazy.
Trey Gerrald:It's as if those women from Tinder swindler had a 10 plus year relationship where they
Trey Gerrald:And then when you find out who the catfish is, I, it is like, I just got
Chelsey Donn:I think I'm going to have to listen to
Trey Gerrald:just got goosebumps.
Trey Gerrald:Oh, it's really good.
Chelsey Donn:You just get sucked into these stories.
Chelsey Donn:I started sort of rewatching in the background and I had to stop, The Staircase
Trey Gerrald:Oh,
Chelsey Donn:because I couldn't remember if I had watched it or not.
Chelsey Donn:I had, but like, God, what a journey?
Trey Gerrald:Did you see the new one?
Trey Gerrald:Cause they do a second season, essentially like the last seven episodes.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I'm not there.
Chelsey Donn:So I guess, I guess I could watch the new one.
Chelsey Donn:I mean the owl store, is it all about the owl thing?
Trey Gerrald:No, I think it's a new, um, prosecution team or Like, I think
Trey Gerrald:I forget.
Trey Gerrald:I w um, but it's many years later
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:So scary.
Chelsey Donn:So many scary things in the world.
Chelsey Donn:And I guess like, the world is scary.
Chelsey Donn:Is that the conclusion
Trey Gerrald:it has scary.
Chelsey Donn:what's going on in your week in your life?
Chelsey Donn:Tell us,
Trey Gerrald:Well, I also watched tender swindler.
Trey Gerrald:What else?
Trey Gerrald:I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:I have been feeling a little sense of emptiness since I've finished season two of cheer.
Chelsey Donn:oh, I'm
Trey Gerrald:wondering what's happening with my team and yeah.
Trey Gerrald:You know, just hanging out.
Trey Gerrald:It was actually pretty warm today, which is nice
Chelsey Donn:Just like chugging along.
Trey Gerrald:too.
Chelsey Donn:To chill.
Chelsey Donn:I really shouldn't complain, but I'm gonna, you know what I
Trey Gerrald:Ha do it.
Trey Gerrald:I want to hear Chelsey.
Trey Gerrald:What is it that you want to
VOICEOVER:Lodge A Complaint.
Trey Gerrald:about.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:So I don't know if it has anything to do with like heat or ions or what happens, but you know, when
Chelsey Donn:And you're fighting this liner and you're trying to get clean.
Chelsey Donn:And I'm like very OCD.
Chelsey Donn:So I'm like, I change it and I wash it or whatever, but like still y'all
Chelsey Donn:And it's just weird to me.
Chelsey Donn:Cause it doesn't happen all the time when it happens.
Chelsey Donn:I'm like, I don't know why you're so obsessed with me, but like get off, you know, why?
Chelsey Donn:Does this happen to you?
Trey Gerrald:Well, I actually don't have a shower, curtain, shower
Trey Gerrald:When you feel like it's just clinging on no one wants to Clinger.
Chelsey Donn:back off.
Chelsey Donn:So anyway, I wanted a Lodge, A Complaint.
Chelsey Donn:I really hope that the shower liner can hear me because it's not far away
Chelsey Donn:And also listeners, if you have any tips, like, what am I supposed to do?
Chelsey Donn:Like, is there a trick for this?
Chelsey Donn:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I haven't scoured Tik TOK.
Chelsey Donn:Am I supposed to spray it with like hairspray or something?
Chelsey Donn:If you know how to get it to.
Chelsey Donn:Please do let me know.
Trey Gerrald:What about those shower, curtain, rods that are like slightly poking outward.
Trey Gerrald:Do you know, we're talking they pivot out instead of a straight line.
Trey Gerrald:They're like a semicircle away from the shower,
Chelsey Donn:Alright.
Chelsey Donn:I could look into
Trey Gerrald:something.
Chelsey Donn:about you?
Chelsey Donn:Try give us your complaint, lay it on us.
Trey Gerrald:Uh, all right, well, today I want to lodge a complaint against an
Chelsey Donn:no,
Trey Gerrald:It's one of those things where it's like, there is no substitute.
Trey Gerrald:Like you can't fill it with water.
Trey Gerrald:Like a cereal bowl full of water is...
Trey Gerrald:that's not cereal.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:there, you can't put anything else.
Trey Gerrald:So then you're just sort of like, well, I can't eat this bowl of
Trey Gerrald:Has that ever happened to you?
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, it has.
Chelsey Donn:And I'll say I proceeded to eat the cereal.
Chelsey Donn:Anyway.
Chelsey Donn:I w I was like, not happy about it, but I just, I eat it mostly dry.
Trey Gerrald:and crunchy and hard.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I've become a little OCD about it, because like now with Costco
Trey Gerrald:And so I buy like two containers at a time, which is like 12 gallons
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Because you to have the backup milk.
Chelsey Donn:You need the backup milk.
Trey Gerrald:Because that, it really is upsetting.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, it is upsetting.
Chelsey Donn:So I, I feel you, I, I hate that the ratio of the milk to the cereal
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:Well,
Chelsey Donn:valid.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Shall we maybe enter into some other territory that kind of makes me a little bit nervous, maybe.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know, like reviewing other people's online reviews and hoping that
Trey Gerrald:I think so.
Trey Gerrald:I think Chelsey it's time for you and I to go head-to-head as we.
VOICEOVER:Assess That Kvetch.
Trey Gerrald:So today is another verses episode and we are going to cover both
Chelsey Donn:That's right.
Chelsey Donn:Get your MasterCards and visas ready.
Chelsey Donn:This another versus episode!
Chelsey Donn:Trey selected the one star, and I selected the five star.
Chelsey Donn:So to determine who reads first, we got to flip that quota.
Chelsey Donn:I feel like you need to guess this time.
Trey Gerrald:Okay,
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:I'm gonna let you guys
Trey Gerrald:I'm going to say tails
Chelsey Donn:okay.
Trey Gerrald:it's heads.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:So what that means I go first, right?
Trey Gerrald:we're going to hear the five star first!.
Chelsey Donn:my Oh my goodness.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So a little background on what the Mall of America is.
Trey Gerrald:I know Chelsey has been, I have never been, but the Mall of America is one of the
Trey Gerrald:The Mall welcomes more than 40 million visitors a year from around the world to enjoy over 520.
Trey Gerrald:Retail and specialty stores, plus over 50 unique dining and entertainment attractions,
Trey Gerrald:That's what I think of when I think of Mall of America.
Trey Gerrald:They also, I thought this was interesting.
Trey Gerrald:The Mall of America hosts more than 400 events every year, which has made the Mall.
Trey Gerrald:A place where fans can meet and greet with their favorite celebrities or take part
Trey Gerrald:So presently at the time of this recording, there are 5,893 reviews for the Mall of America on
Trey Gerrald:One star reviews.
Trey Gerrald:So let's get this versus battles started.
VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:It is about to be Mall Madness up in here.
Chelsey Donn:You know what I mean?
Chelsey Donn:Because we are getting started with a crazy five-star review.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, I know Jay, you referenced TripAdvisor, but I actually pulled this Review!
Chelsey Donn:from Yelp.
Chelsey Donn:My Review!
Chelsey Donn:is written by an elite Review!
Chelsey Donn:or when you know it, the elite reviewers name is Fox E.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Fox
Trey Gerrald:Capital E?
Chelsey Donn:Capital E.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:There's okay.
Chelsey Donn:I'm just gonna, just gonna dive right in.
Chelsey Donn:Here we go.
Chelsey Donn:Not to be confused with an arrogant American man, male of America, with
Chelsey Donn:And an unimpressive trouser snake.
Chelsey Donn:Small of America.
Chelsey Donn:The Mall of America has sacred and distant memories for me from when I first visited
Chelsey Donn:I also may or may not have fornicated with a very wild and adventurous girlfriend on
Chelsey Donn:I also may or may not have four dedicated with a very wild and adventurous girlfriend on the
Chelsey Donn:She wasn't even in her teens yet at that time gasp, but let's move on to the modern times,
Trey Gerrald:what.
Chelsey Donn:not to be confused with a drug smuggler mule of America, looking for dinner?
Chelsey Donn:Meal of America and to fight brawl of America,
Trey Gerrald:Oh, my God.
Chelsey Donn:it has four levels that I know of.
Chelsey Donn:It needs to get on my level and probably a lot more, but it also incredibly
Chelsey Donn:Any one of these levels by itself would be one of the biggest Malls around.
Chelsey Donn:So we're not talking about a structure that is more tall than it is wide or long.
Chelsey Donn:It's insanely wide and long.
Chelsey Donn:Like my ego,
Trey Gerrald:Oh
Chelsey Donn:to the extent that walking around any one of the levels will take a
Chelsey Donn:Not to be confused with a breaking bad spinoff, better call Saul of America, a
Chelsey Donn:So basically what I am saying.
Chelsey Donn:It's the scale of this thing is absolutely enormous.
Chelsey Donn:It can't really be described.
Chelsey Donn:It's not just the biggest Mall I've ever been to.
Chelsey Donn:It's bigger than the next 10 Malls I've ever been to.
Chelsey Donn:And don't get me started on all the amusement rides and rollercoasters that exist here.
Chelsey Donn:I guess this is what America is all.
Chelsey Donn:It's incredibly fun to wander around.
Chelsey Donn:And I think it's probably the most ambitious Mall on earth.
Chelsey Donn:Not to be confused with my girlfriend, doll of America
Trey Gerrald:Oh my
Chelsey Donn:who likes to crush things under her pleasures balls of America.
Chelsey Donn:Make guys come over to her on their hands and knees crawl of America.
Chelsey Donn:And physically dominate people for lots of money Maul of America.
Trey Gerrald:What.
Chelsey Donn:I, yes, that's it.
Chelsey Donn:That was my, that was my to reading it.
Chelsey Donn:Like, I don't even know what device Fox E was using here.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Is that a, it's not a pun cause you're just changing.
Trey Gerrald:Is that, what is that?
Trey Gerrald:Word play?
Chelsey Donn:It's annoying.
Chelsey Donn:Like, I feel like based on this Review!
Chelsey Donn:at all, they should revoke Fox E's elite status.
Trey Gerrald:they're elite.
Chelsey Donn:They are elite.
Chelsey Donn:Isn't that insane?
Trey Gerrald:I do think that, that, do you think FOC, first of all,
Chelsey Donn:what is the Review!?
Trey Gerrald:I guess I'm sexist, but I just assumed that Fox E would not be a straight man.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe I should have mentioned that.
Chelsey Donn:So again, it's really funny Fox E's photograph kind of reminds me of Bruce has,
Trey Gerrald:Is there a glamor shots in the Mall of America, do those even exist anymore?
Chelsey Donn:I think they do some places.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:I'm just really confused by all of that, because like, I, for a while there, I thought
Trey Gerrald:So I also felt like constantly saying, it's not this.
Trey Gerrald:It's not that It's not made me think like, wait, this is a,
Trey Gerrald:five-star review.
Trey Gerrald:Until we sort of got to the end where it was like, this is the biggest Mall I've ever seen.
Trey Gerrald:It's the biggest and the last 10 I've ever seen.
Trey Gerrald:So then I was like, okay.
Trey Gerrald:So like there, but all.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Chelsey Donn:yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I was very confused.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:When they use the word fornication on the stair steps, D did, did they then go in to
Chelsey Donn:like there were so many bad jokes in here.
Chelsey Donn:It was hard for me to like, even try to deliver them all.
Chelsey Donn:So completely valid that you were confused.
Chelsey Donn:They were saying something along the lines of like the girlfriend was not Barbie.
Chelsey Donn:Like the Barbie doll, I guess.
Chelsey Donn:And that Barbie wasn't even in her teens yet at the time gasp, what is that?
Chelsey Donn:I, is that a joke about 20 years?
Chelsey Donn:Like is the Barbie 35 years old now?
Chelsey Donn:Like, I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:It's just,
Trey Gerrald:because it wasn't Barbie invented in the fifties.
Chelsey Donn:yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I have no idea.
Chelsey Donn:I have no idea what they're getting at with that amongst other things
Trey Gerrald:a lot of sex in this.
Trey Gerrald:Review!
Chelsey Donn:so much
Trey Gerrald:the trouser I've never heard that phrase, but that's hilarious.
Chelsey Donn:I actually had to look it up.
Chelsey Donn:I'm not even going to lie.
Chelsey Donn:Cause I was like sMall.
Chelsey Donn:I was like sMall of an, of America.
Chelsey Donn:Like what does that even mean?
Chelsey Donn:And then when I looked up trousers, snake and found out that it was like, you know,
Trey Gerrald:But then even a few sentences later where they say.
Trey Gerrald:Long and wide, like my, does it say.dot, dot ego.
Chelsey Donn:does.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Why is, why is Fox east so obsessed with talking about their penis size on this Review!
Chelsey Donn:Well, to be fair there, their name is Foxy.
Trey Gerrald:to foxes have big penises.
Chelsey Donn:No, like the word Foxy Fox, Y like
Trey Gerrald:I never, Fox E F O
Chelsey Donn:right.
Chelsey Donn:But I feel like with, with all the ponds that are happening in this stupid, I'm
Chelsey Donn:Foxy named himself Foxy for a reason.
Trey Gerrald:Well, do you think that Fox is his parents named them Fox or
Chelsey Donn:I think this is a username exclusively.
Trey Gerrald:I don't think I know anyone named Fox that
Chelsey Donn:mean, I don't hate the name.
Chelsey Donn:Like again, like it's not a bad name, but like when your username is Foxy and then like
Chelsey Donn:because I was like, there's really no value here in terms of.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, let me hear about why this is a good Mall to go to or a good place
Chelsey Donn:It's really just a very strange personal narrative essay.
Chelsey Donn:So I don't know, I almost didn't bring it in, but then I was like, it's so ridiculous.
Chelsey Donn:He's so ridiculous.
Chelsey Donn:We need to talk about it.
Trey Gerrald:Well, it, it, I, yes, I agree.
Trey Gerrald:There is no value in this review other than recognizing that you could maybe, or main be,
Trey Gerrald:And I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:That's like, I, you know, maybe that's exclusive to this.
Trey Gerrald:Review!
Trey Gerrald:what is Fox ease, spelling, and grammar.
Chelsey Donn:they did have one mistake, which I read
Trey Gerrald:So that makes me even more uncomfortable that they did.
Trey Gerrald:Like, they like reviewed this before they hit submit, because it doesn't make any sense.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, no Fox E clearly read.
Chelsey Donn:Did rewrites maybe Googled for some more puns, maybe did a little focus
Chelsey Donn:Like I dunno, like there was a lot of effort put in this Review!
Chelsey Donn:and I think the thing that makes me.
Chelsey Donn:Angry about it is it's so transparent.
Chelsey Donn:I understand that like clearly this entire podcast is based on online reviews.
Chelsey Donn:And I understand that there's like a whole Nisha people like us who like to read these
Chelsey Donn:Like he'll get the most, I mean, there were 25 people that found it funny.
Chelsey Donn:39 people who found it useful.
Chelsey Donn:And third 33 people who found it.
Chelsey Donn:Cool.
Chelsey Donn:Those numbers are like a little bit disturbing, but like, I dunno.
Chelsey Donn:I just thought he was trying so hard and it got so old so quickly.
Chelsey Donn:The joke.
Trey Gerrald:It makes me feel like Fox.
Trey Gerrald:He even says, get on my level.
Trey Gerrald:I don't even know.
Trey Gerrald:I don't know What I don't know what the level?
Trey Gerrald:like, I don't even understand where this Review!
Trey Gerrald:was.
Trey Gerrald:Like, I don't even know what was said to me other than like, how can I rhyme the word mall?
Chelsey Donn:1000%.
Chelsey Donn:I was going to say.
Chelsey Donn:I don't think there's anything truthful in this.
Chelsey Donn:Like, I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know, like, I don't even know if Foxy has a girlfriend or not.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know if before in a candid or not, like I don't, I don't trust Fox E here.
Chelsey Donn:And it also has nothing to do with Mall of America.
Chelsey Donn:Like, I'm glad they had one sMall paragraph where they were like, it's
Chelsey Donn:like something you got to go to.
Chelsey Donn:But other than that, why are you here?
Chelsey Donn:Foxy?
Chelsey Donn:Why are you here?
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, because now I'm not sure, like, I don't even
Trey Gerrald:Cause it it's so incoherent.
Chelsey Donn:Exactly.
Chelsey Donn:Like, w what do you think of the, like, is that a thing, like, is that a writing style
Chelsey Donn:So like, like in between sandwiched in between every single paragraph
Trey Gerrald:uh, oh, they're all parents medical.
Chelsey Donn:Correct.
Chelsey Donn:Almost the definitions are written in medicals.
Chelsey Donn:Like we're separating it from the, we're using it as like a border for each one of our paragraphs.
Trey Gerrald:Also.
Trey Gerrald:They attach 10 photos.
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Chelsey Donn:All just of the Mall.
Chelsey Donn:Like nothing like weird.
Chelsey Donn:That's how I feel like Foxy hacked the system or something
Trey Gerrald:They're like, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:You know, like, I feel like Yelp must have a thing because they obviously can't
Chelsey Donn:Um, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Uh, obviously they can spend all their time doing that.
Chelsey Donn:So they maybe have some sort of algorithm where it's like, if you're
Chelsey Donn:Amount of length with, you know, this many photos attached, you would think,
Chelsey Donn:Maybe this is a Review!
Chelsey Donn:that I want to read.
Chelsey Donn:Like it does like draw you in if you're not actually looking at the words.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, but then it's even like, they did put a lot of effort
Trey Gerrald:Like was this just to fill their quota in order to become a lead.
Chelsey Donn:I think so.
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:But it still is very detailed.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, I think this is totally like an atypical experience.
Trey Gerrald:Cause I don't even understand like, unless maybe people hook up there.
Trey Gerrald:I think like people always like to hold hands, like at the Mall, that's like a thing or it
Chelsey Donn:yes.
Trey Gerrald:but like I was not entertained by this.
Trey Gerrald:I was annoyed by that.
Chelsey Donn:Correct.
Chelsey Donn:I was immediate.
Chelsey Donn:I was immediately, so.
Chelsey Donn:Annoyed by Foxy.
Chelsey Donn:I was not into it at all.
Chelsey Donn:I didn't think it was funny.
Chelsey Donn:In fact, when I was reading it I'll be honest.
Chelsey Donn:I was getting like flashbacks to being really bad, open mikes in LA when we would
Chelsey Donn:And you're just Ugh, please get off the stage.
Chelsey Donn:Like I don't, I can't listen to this.
Chelsey Donn:Is there anything else to say?
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:Is there like any impact about the Mall of America for you on this?
Chelsey Donn:No, that's what I'm left with is like, why do I care
Trey Gerrald:I think I can crown Fox E.
Chelsey Donn:me too?
Chelsey Donn:Let's do it.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:So Chelsey and I each have our own set of one to five crown cards and an effort
Trey Gerrald:We will simultaneously reveal our rating.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
Chelsey Donn:Have crown half crown.
Chelsey Donn:That's what I figured.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Try.
Chelsey Donn:Let us know why you gave Fox E a half crown.
Trey Gerrald:Well, you know, we have beginning with Natalie's episode, we have
Trey Gerrald:I said half crown because at least they have like a Saurus and like a dictionary.
Trey Gerrald:Like they have a rhyming dictionary, like, don't know.
Trey Gerrald:There's part of me that has just completely turned off.
Trey Gerrald:I feel like they did cheat the ELP system to like write a bunch of reviews, possibly.
Trey Gerrald:Like that's all, you know, speculation, but I don't know, half crown because I
Trey Gerrald:I, not that that's something I want, but I'm saying that's the
Trey Gerrald:Review!
Trey Gerrald:I mean, Uh, Fox.
Trey Gerrald:He also, and I feel like it made me check.
Trey Gerrald:Why do I think that Foxy is a word only use to describe females?
Trey Gerrald:I appreciate that He is a male and they're taking
Chelsey Donn:Quite Foxy.
Trey Gerrald:Fox II.
Trey Gerrald:So that's why I said half crown.
Trey Gerrald:Why did you say.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I, I really toiled in my mind with going with a zero crown here.
Chelsey Donn:I did the half crown because.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, maybe this is a dumb reason, but there were clearly some people that
Chelsey Donn:And for that reason, I threw them a half crown because there was some attempted
Chelsey Donn:So I obviously couldn't give them more than a half crime.
Trey Gerrald:Fair.
Trey Gerrald:Oh my gosh.
Trey Gerrald:What a weird fines.
Trey Gerrald:Good job.
Chelsey Donn:Thank
Trey Gerrald:Like vault.
Trey Gerrald:All right, let's take a quick break.
Trey Gerrald:And when we come back, we will here flip side of this.
Trey Gerrald:Review!
Chelsey Donn:BRB.
Trey Gerrald:BRBs.
VOICEOVER:We'll be right back.
Trey Gerrald:it's game time, right?
Trey Gerrald:Chelsey let's strap ourselves in to this rotating ride and get ready
Trey Gerrald:' VOICEOVER: I don't feel like an icon.
Trey Gerrald:Most of the days, I feel like
Chelsey Donn:here's the deal.
Chelsey Donn:Trey and I have each picked a rotten scathing, pithy One-Star-Zinger and with 30 seconds on
Trey Gerrald:just like queen Meryl Streep, who does it
Chelsey Donn:before the clock runs out.
Trey Gerrald:today?

Chelsey Donn:I don't know if like Mall was an auntie Anne's or a Wetzels pretzels, but ours decidedly.
Chelsey Donn:Any ans this review is written by a Susanna I, and it's a one-star review and it says
Chelsey Donn:So sad.
Chelsey Donn:I never thought you could get food poisoning from a pretzel.
Chelsey Donn:I
Trey Gerrald:I literally going to say that, like, what is it?

VOICEOVER:Review That Review.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, right.
Chelsey Donn:We are back from that rousing game break.
Chelsey Donn:Got to say it.
Chelsey Donn:And it is your turn.
Chelsey Donn:Trey.
Chelsey Donn:I can't wait to hear the flip side of this even.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, if we can call it a flip side, I don't even know what that side was, but
Chelsey Donn:So what are you, what have you got for us?
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:So today I have a one-star review from TripAdvisor for Mall of America written by, Okay.
Trey Gerrald:This is, um, all lower case.
Trey Gerrald:Obiratkenobi.
Trey Gerrald:And The image I think is like, did like Han solo have a D there there's some older
Trey Gerrald:movie, Star wars or star wars, or
Chelsey Donn:star wars.
Chelsey Donn:I was like going to my right or you wrong?
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:so I know that this image is that person, but this is OB rat Kenobi.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So OB rat Kenobi's one star review subject is I'd rather be mauled, M a U L E D,
Chelsey Donn:We're just punning and punting and whatever, all over the place.
Trey Gerrald:which was the last pun of Vox ease.
Trey Gerrald:So very interesting.
Trey Gerrald:The subject has, I'd rather be mauled
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:dot, dot, dot by bears than go here again.
Trey Gerrald:Total disclosure.
Trey Gerrald:I hate shopping and an engineer and don't understand the logic behind these places.
Trey Gerrald:I pick something up.
Trey Gerrald:Check Amazon realized the Mall is 100% or more than Amazon prime price shipped to my door.
Trey Gerrald:Put item down and repeat this process until I leave.
Trey Gerrald:I get it.
Trey Gerrald:The social aspect.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:maybe, but don't buy anything.
Trey Gerrald:We got some swatch watches that was more of an experience than Amazon, I suppose.
Trey Gerrald:My daughter designed one.
Trey Gerrald:Cool.
Trey Gerrald:I am told, I asked a bar slash restaurant.
Trey Gerrald:If I could walk around with a beer.
Trey Gerrald:Nope, come on, MN!
Trey Gerrald:Think us, us guys.
Trey Gerrald:You put a theme park in there, but adults can't have a beverage while
Trey Gerrald:I was here in 80 degree weather.
Trey Gerrald:Suppose in December, I would give it two stars for the heater.
Trey Gerrald:Go to a park, go to a museum, go to a bar, go to your grandparents' house.
Trey Gerrald:Don't go here.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Obi rat Kenobi.
Chelsey Donn:I smell a rat.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, it's one of those reviews where it's like, if you hate shopping,
Chelsey Donn:You can kind of peripherally understand why somebody would find going to a Mall
Chelsey Donn:Populace.
Chelsey Donn:Why are you a part of the conversation on the TripAdvisor?
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, it's bizarre also, like I think that some of the value here is the
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, it's so weird to me.
Chelsey Donn:Like as soon as you, you know, was sorta like mad about it, and then you said the engineer
Chelsey Donn:Maybe they're going to about how do you get an entire amusement park indoors in this structure?
Chelsey Donn:Another thing which I thought was interesting as they said that if they went
Chelsey Donn:I don't know if they're talking about this, but I read in, in a few of my reviews that one of
Chelsey Donn:They use, like, I know they use some sort of like something with their roof
Chelsey Donn:And then they also rely on the body heat of the people in the Mall itself to heat the structure.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:So I thought it was interesting and odd that they brought up the heater
Trey Gerrald:well also, do you think that this person works at Amazon now that
Chelsey Donn:Amazon heavy.
Chelsey Donn:Amazon doesn't need any help.
Chelsey Donn:You know what I mean?
Chelsey Donn:We all, we all get it.
Chelsey Donn:Like we know Amazon is killing the Mall.
Chelsey Donn:There's no question about it.
Chelsey Donn:Look around America.
Chelsey Donn:I mean the Malls are all closing down.
Chelsey Donn:The Mall of America is staying open because it is, as you said in the beginning, more
Chelsey Donn:So I, I would think that if any of the Malls in America were to stay open, it
Chelsey Donn:For that reason.
Chelsey Donn:So Amazon doesn't need any help from.
Chelsey Donn:OB rat Kenobi here.
Chelsey Donn:And OB rat Kenobi is also not making a point that we don't already know.
Chelsey Donn:We know we can buy it on Amazon, you know, so if we're coming to this review page, we're coming
Chelsey Donn:So I think that some of the other facts, which I still think are weird, like why would you think.
Chelsey Donn:Open alcohol in a place where there are kids running around.
Chelsey Donn:Why was that?
Chelsey Donn:So perplexing to OB rat Kenobi?
Trey Gerrald:Also just going into spelling And grammar here.
Trey Gerrald:It was interesting to me that of the four times they say the word Amazon it's never capitalized.
Trey Gerrald:And then it says, I asked a bar lowercase B slash upper case, R restaurant.
Trey Gerrald:So that's weird.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So all the spelling is, is pretty much right.
Trey Gerrald:There's just the one, like typo where it says, think us, us.
Trey Gerrald:skies.
Trey Gerrald:I think it was supposed to be, Think of us guys.
Trey Gerrald:I
Chelsey Donn:of us guys.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, what about the whole like, Hey, so he took his daughter to the swatch store.
Chelsey Donn:She made her own custom watch, which I think is pretty cool, especially for a kid.
Chelsey Donn:Like, I I'm sure if I was a kid, I would think it would be cool and fun to design my own watch.
Chelsey Donn:So why, why is it cool?
Chelsey Donn:I am told like
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, there is this little, like a place place of judgment and this whole Review!
Trey Gerrald:I get it.
Trey Gerrald:it's the social aspect.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Maybe
Chelsey Donn:No, it is the social aspect just because you don't like it doesn't
Chelsey Donn:That's getting it.
Chelsey Donn:I'm sure it is cool.
Chelsey Donn:indisputably.
Chelsey Donn:So why are we calling into dispute also, you know, major, major pet peeve of mine.
Chelsey Donn:I hate when any reviewer like OB rat Kenobi did at the end of this is going to tell
Chelsey Donn:Go to a park, your grandma's.
Chelsey Donn:You know, go to a bar, like, why are you telling people what it is that they should do?
Chelsey Donn:If you're going to write a review, that's going to be one star about this location.
Chelsey Donn:Tell me that everything there is overpriced, you know, tell me that they're hiking up the
Chelsey Donn:Overhead is high.
Chelsey Donn:You know what I mean?
Chelsey Donn:Like fine.
Chelsey Donn:That, that would be one thing that I'm going to consider.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe I'm going to do more window shopping when I get there.
Chelsey Donn:But other than, than that, which I don't even know if their prices are
Chelsey Donn:What information am I getting here?
Chelsey Donn:And why are you giving it one star?
Trey Gerrald:Also like go to a park.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:There is multiple theme parks inside of the sMall, so that's a park.
Trey Gerrald:And then also go to a bar.
Trey Gerrald:You just said you went to a bar at the Mall of America.
Trey Gerrald:So real.
Trey Gerrald:I mean, I think they're being shady because they're just like,
Trey Gerrald:Like don't go shop at them all shop online.
Chelsey Donn:I, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I just think there's no universal impact here.
Chelsey Donn:the, the thesis statement is if you don't like Malls, don't go to Mall of America.
Chelsey Donn:Shocking.
Trey Gerrald:So then do you think this is a typical or common experience?
Trey Gerrald:I feel like if you know that you hate shopping, but then I guess lot of
Chelsey Donn:I guess so, but then if you're dragged along, it's like, if you're somebody
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I'm not going to leave a negative review about a
Chelsey Donn:yeah, you're going to be quote unquote dragged along, but you're
Chelsey Donn:So I guess people like art, but I hate it.
Chelsey Donn:Like you're not going to do that.
Chelsey Donn:And that's.
Trey Gerrald:right.
Trey Gerrald:There's no value
Chelsey Donn:I mean, clearly there was an attempted humor.
Chelsey Donn:Who are you trying to get out of here?
Chelsey Donn:Are you trying to get at the other husbands, you know, have wives are going to be dragged
Chelsey Donn:Also, have we ever had a Review!
Chelsey Donn:before that started with a dot.dot and how do we start feel with a Review!
Chelsey Donn:starting with a dot.dot.
Chelsey Donn:I know that it's a continuation of the title, but.
Trey Gerrald:Well, I think in theory, I hate it, But, when you are looking
Trey Gerrald:Like that's the only like humor point for me is that before hearing Fox ease and
Trey Gerrald:When I read this, I, thought I'd rather be mauled.
Trey Gerrald:Then the review was dieted up by bears.
Trey Gerrald:Like I thought that was actually very funny, then that feels like that was written by someone else.
Trey Gerrald:It has nothing to do with the rest of the Review!.
Trey Gerrald:I don't know.
Trey Gerrald:I think that this is not a deal breaker for me.
Trey Gerrald:I'm not going to go to a scientist to ask their opinion on anti-science.
Trey Gerrald:It's like, doesn't make any sense.
Chelsey Donn:and I feel like a little bit like OB rat Kenobi, didn't deliver on a promise
Chelsey Donn:Like don't, don't even include that.
Chelsey Donn:If you're not gonna then give your engineer point of view, like who cares that you're an
Trey Gerrald:thought that was going to go somewhere and it did
Chelsey Donn:I really did.
Chelsey Donn:I was quite disappointed.
Chelsey Donn:I think I'm ready to crown.
Chelsey Donn:Is there anything else that we haven't considered that we need to,
Trey Gerrald:No, I think that's oh, he did, OB rat Kenobi attaches a photo and
Trey Gerrald:Like like an old man photo.
Chelsey Donn:Oh my God.
Chelsey Donn:But like, isn't that weird with a staircase?
Chelsey Donn:Because the last year you talked about the stairwell.
Trey Gerrald:Oh yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Isn't that kind of crazy.
Chelsey Donn:Maybe OB rat Kenobi and Fox E or cousins or something.
Chelsey Donn:And this is how this whole experience transpired.
Chelsey Donn:I don't
Trey Gerrald:And the daughter is Barbie who made their own watch at swatch.
Chelsey Donn:my God.
Chelsey Donn:That's even grosser because that would be like his niece.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Now this is getting too far.
Chelsey Donn:Yuck.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:Let's let's crown it.
VOICEOVER:The Queens are Tabulating.
Chelsey Donn:Okay, Trey's holding up one crown.
Chelsey Donn:I'm holding up again a half crown.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I really felt compelled again to maybe do a zero crown.
Chelsey Donn:I was struggling between the zero and a half.
Chelsey Donn:Why did I go with the half?
Chelsey Donn:I guess again?
Chelsey Donn:A little bit of the attempt of humor.
Chelsey Donn:I feel like we're dealing with a similar character.
Chelsey Donn:So all the points I made for Foxy kind of apply here.
Chelsey Donn:And then as of course, we've, we've mentioned at length, just no value for
Chelsey Donn:It's kind of like when you're reading a review and you're like, Ugh, it's like, I
Chelsey Donn:And now I gotta get back on the road and, and look for more reviews.
Chelsey Donn:So it was a detour for me.
Chelsey Donn:Uh, and for that reason, half crown.
Chelsey Donn:How about you?
Chelsey Donn:Why one crown?
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I said one crown, because ultimately the only value here I'm getting is that
Chelsey Donn:Yeah,
Trey Gerrald:And it really did sort of highlight.
Trey Gerrald:I've never considered are things that a Mall overpriced.
Trey Gerrald:I've never thought about the price difference between Amazon and S and
Trey Gerrald:but the rest, I think the Review!
Trey Gerrald:is sort of a mess and you know, it wasn't for me.
Trey Gerrald:So I gave one because they're like, that's the one little tidbit of value.
Trey Gerrald:yeah.
Trey Gerrald:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I just think saying like, oh my God, Oh, my God.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:So I want to hear the reply, but I just wanted to say, I feel like saying that like, you know, it's
Chelsey Donn:Like, it's just like, so like, duh, you know,
Trey Gerrald:Oh,
Chelsey Donn:is that even factoring into the, the equation?
Chelsey Donn:Like, okay, you don't like Malls, you're probably not going to like
Trey Gerrald:I know, but I would've thought that you would at least be entertained by like
Chelsey Donn:Right.
Chelsey Donn:Like you're taking the person that like is the, like most extreme on not liking them all.
Chelsey Donn:And if like you can't even convince them a little bit to open up their, you know, 10 man heart
Trey Gerrald:stop exposing me.
Trey Gerrald:I was just trying to do something higher than I have crowd.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Leave it aloud.
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:So here is the reply from Mall of America.
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Thank you for your thorough and honest Review!
Trey Gerrald:we appreciate the feedback specifically about your restaurant experience and the time you spent
Trey Gerrald:Thank you again.
Trey Gerrald:Take care
Chelsey Donn:Okay, thank you.
Chelsey Donn:Mall of America.
Trey Gerrald:because it's like.
Chelsey Donn:Well, I think it was nice.
Chelsey Donn:I liked it.
Chelsey Donn:It was short.
Chelsey Donn:It did kind of feel like a little bit of an auto reply to a negative review, but I liked
Chelsey Donn:like, particularly what you said about the restaurant, you know, like
Trey Gerrald:I know, but what they said was why can't I walk around with the beer?
Trey Gerrald:Like.
Chelsey Donn:I know, but that's why I'm saying, like, I feel like they at tried to
Chelsey Donn:like when you're messaging someone on a dating app and you're like, they're like,
Trey Gerrald:me include this batt from the
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:They're like holding a dog that has sunglasses on.
Chelsey Donn:And like, what about that dog?
Chelsey Donn:As long as it's hot, know, I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Obviously it didn't really add much to the situation, but it is sort
Chelsey Donn:Contribution when it's like, there's clearly no contribution here.
Trey Gerrald:But they said that they'll pass it along.
Trey Gerrald:Who do you think guest relation Mall of America is passing this along to?
Chelsey Donn:Did you notice when you were reading the one-star reviews that
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, there were, there were a sprinkling, they all felt as generic as this.
Chelsey Donn:I was going to say, cause it really just feels like somebody, the only thing I'm
Chelsey Donn:Like, I feel like that was the assignment, you know,
Trey Gerrald:I know, but I'm, but I'm confused.
Chelsey Donn:I'm
Trey Gerrald:were they passing this along to?
Trey Gerrald:Is that.
Trey Gerrald:just a lie?
Trey Gerrald:They're not passing this along to anyone, right?
Chelsey Donn:they're definitely pass this along to anyone.
Chelsey Donn:It's definitely a lot.
Chelsey Donn:It's a very empty promise and we know they know it, you know, but they're also
Chelsey Donn:Thank you for your,
Trey Gerrald:you for the time it's sucky to write about.
Chelsey Donn:yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Thank you for your time.
Chelsey Donn:That was my favorite part.
Chelsey Donn:I think about it.
Chelsey Donn:Like thank you for the time you took out of your day to write this Michigan.
Trey Gerrald:Well, I've never been, I feel like I don't feel swayed by either of today's entries.
Trey Gerrald:I still would probably go.
Chelsey Donn:Do you feel like at this point with, you know, the knowledge of Mall of America,
Chelsey Donn:So do you think that people are going to be swayed by reviews ultimately of Mall of America?
Chelsey Donn:Or do you think it's one of those things where it's like, if I'm going to.
Chelsey Donn:You know, Minnesota and I am going to make a list of my itinerary.
Chelsey Donn:I'm probably going to include this on there, regardless of whether or not I
Trey Gerrald:That's a good question, because I do feel like the Mall of America is so large and
Trey Gerrald:Like I would look at reviews if I was going to the Eiffel tower or if I was
Trey Gerrald:I would be checking, but for some reason for the Mall, I just feel like there's so much
Trey Gerrald:I don't.
Trey Gerrald:What do you think?
Chelsey Donn:Like the only thing that I would really care about if I
Chelsey Donn:Am I going to be circling the parking lot for an hour and a half, trying to find a parking space,
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:people are going to go, they're not going to not go
Trey Gerrald:Right.
Trey Gerrald:And I don't think that Fox E Is going to push anyone that's on the fence
Chelsey Donn:Is that Foxy is definitely not helping anybody who
Trey Gerrald:All
Chelsey Donn:So what's the use.
Trey Gerrald:Um, all of America.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:My queen, well, that's that?
Trey Gerrald:That's the Mall of America, which is just Mall of America.
Trey Gerrald:I keep adding of the, and that is not there.
Trey Gerrald:It's Mall of America.
Trey Gerrald:All right.
Trey Gerrald:My queen.
Trey Gerrald:So we have reached the most Regal portion of our show.
Trey Gerrald:Chelsey.
Trey Gerrald:Who are you in ducting today for?
VOICEOVER:My Royal Highness!
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:So today I want to inducts.
Chelsey Donn:Hugs now I know hugs are a weird thing to adopt.
Chelsey Donn:Considering my complaint was sort of about my shower hugging me and I really
Chelsey Donn:I'm a good hugger.
Chelsey Donn:And over the past couple of years, when we couldn't really connect with people,
Chelsey Donn:And I think it's one of those things.
Chelsey Donn:We don't really think about that kind of connection, but it means a lot and it can really
Chelsey Donn:And I love hugs and I wanted to induct them as My Royal Highness, but
Chelsey Donn:Okay.
Chelsey Donn:This is not for you, but for everybody else who I love hugs you're, My Royal Highness.
Trey Gerrald:Do you want to be mauled by a bear hug?
Chelsey Donn:If it's like, you know, from like a guy bear, not like
Trey Gerrald:Okay.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, that's, that's a good distinction.
Chelsey Donn:Any Teddy bear guys out there who are interested in giving
Chelsey Donn:I, that sounds really creepy actually.
Chelsey Donn:Don't
Trey Gerrald:Oh,
Chelsey Donn:uh, yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:All right.
Chelsey Donn:Hugs.
Trey Gerrald:wonder who was the first, how did a hug become a thing?
Chelsey Donn:I don't know, hugs are interesting.
Chelsey Donn:They, they straddle the line.
Chelsey Donn:It's more than a handshake
Trey Gerrald:Right, but who even came up with a handshake?
Trey Gerrald:I, when I was a kid, I used to think like, why is kissing something who
Chelsey Donn:who had the thought.
Trey Gerrald:your mouth against someone else's mouth?
Trey Gerrald:Like who?
Trey Gerrald:Same thing who thought let's interlock our arms around each other?
Trey Gerrald:I mean, I guess like do that with So maybe you're like, you're keeping them close and like,
Chelsey Donn:Yeah, there's a, there's a warmth.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah.
Chelsey Donn:Heart to heart.
Chelsey Donn:You know, literally there was also that guy in New York that used to
Chelsey Donn:You always see people with free hug sign.
Chelsey Donn:I think it's funny.
Chelsey Donn:I mean, I, I don't think I ever accepted any of those free hugs.
Chelsey Donn:I do like a good, nice hug with a close friend.
Chelsey Donn:I'm like sort of famous.
Chelsey Donn:I give really good hugs and you can ask any one of my friends they'll agree.
Chelsey Donn:I don't know.
Chelsey Donn:Try have we hugged?
Trey Gerrald:We have have.
Chelsey Donn:We've hugged.
Chelsey Donn:We've hiked.
Chelsey Donn:We have, we've had some good hugs.
Chelsey Donn:We've hugged anyway.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah, I don't think I would want to be hugged without knowing it was about to happen.
Trey Gerrald:I think that's my line,
Chelsey Donn:oh, for
Trey Gerrald:even more so than consensual, just like, Oh I don't like being like, this would
Chelsey Donn:oh,
Trey Gerrald:hate that.
Trey Gerrald:that feels like an attack.
Chelsey Donn:Oh, I don't want to be hugged by from behind.
Chelsey Donn:No, no, thank you.
Chelsey Donn:You know, what I hate is like the hugs kisses, like the, the like Hershey
Trey Gerrald:You do,
Chelsey Donn:I think so, because I don't mind white chocolate, but there's something
Trey Gerrald:is that specifically a hug?
Chelsey Donn:Uh, hug is the white chocolate kisses that have like a swirl of chocolate
Trey Gerrald:I've never put that together.
Chelsey Donn:Y kisses and hugs.
Trey Gerrald:that it's white and chocolate hugging.
Chelsey Donn:Yeah,
Trey Gerrald:I've never, I've never noticed that I don't like normal kisses.
Trey Gerrald:I like the almond kisses,
Chelsey Donn:too.
Chelsey Donn:Me too.
Chelsey Donn:Yes.
Trey Gerrald:but those little strings say amen.
Trey Gerrald:And then yes, the hugs.
Trey Gerrald:Cause I don't think I like the swirly ones either.
Trey Gerrald:If it's an ice cream cone, I'll take a swirl.
Trey Gerrald:I like a swirl an ice cream cone.
Trey Gerrald:Yeah.
Trey Gerrald:not for Hershey's kisses
Chelsey Donn:I don't like unsolicited hugs.
Chelsey Donn:I don't like backwards hugs and I don't like Hershey's hugs.
