CHELSEY DONN (00:30):
Hello!

TREY GERRALD (00:32):
Hello

Ooh!

there, and welcome to Review That Review, the podcast that is dedicated to reviewing,

Reviews!

you got me, is Chelsey

And that is Trey Gerrald!

And when we come together in our spooky costumes, we are

VOICEOVER (00:56):
The Review Queens,

Yeah, I did think about wearing a costume today, but then I just thought, I just wanted to go as RQC today,

scary enough.

scary enough being real, Speaking of things that are scary, Trey, would you like to,

VOICEOVER (01:17):
Lodge a complaint,

Do you remember our very first Halloween episode?
I came in full drag.

you like, took my breath away, Like, you were so gorgeous and I just didn't, I, I like, couldn't even contain myself.
I was just staring into your beautiful blue eyes.

They weren't mine.
They were Casey Becker's.
They weren't

Okay.
Into Casey Becker's.
Beautiful bliss.
Either way you can claim the eyes.

that just made me think of a good complaint.

Do you wanna use it or do you wanna, do you wanna save it?

I don't know.
I'm trying to decide if I think it's,if it's interesting enough or not, but I'm just gonna go with it since we're here and I'll use this other one later.
Okay, so I want to lodge a complaintagainst drag queens and drag performers that wear colored contacts.

Okay.
Okay.

I, for some reason, it really freaks me out.
Now look,

Is it a specific color?
Like, is it when they don't look real or if it'slike they look real it still freaks you out?

like if you're intentionally trying to do like something spooky and scary and you're like doing like fully dilated eyeballs It's like when you're wearing like a blue contact That's like not a human blue like if you're just okay and I just want to preface this by saying like obviously we're in a culture where like Everyone is able to, like, express themselves the way they want to, and that is definitely the way it

And it's Halloween.
So I mean you should be able to.

it's Halloween, yes, but I, and I get that, like, you should show up however it is that you want to, and if anyone has a thought or opinion, it's on them, so it must be something about me, but for whatever reason, generally speaking, I feel like drag is, like, in its simplest form, creating realism that is not authentic to you, so, you I get that you're wearing, like, fake eyebrows, and you're wearing, like, fake boobs, and hips, like, everything's fake, so I don't know why the color context

Now I was gonna say there's so much over the, like I don't even think about realism when I think of drag, I think of like fierce beyond life, like living on a plane that is so big but yet so authentic in the same moment and it's That's what's so beautiful to me about drag is it's like so fabulous.
It's like everyone's mostfabulous version of themselves.

(03:28):
And I love that.

Well, obviously, drag is a huge umbrella

Yes.
And I know you love,

every version of drag.

that's

But for whatever reason,

guess that's what it evokes

I just have a complaint about fake colored contacts.
Now, I always get these ads on Instagram forcontacts that are like, really unclockable, that I'm even like, maybe I want some like, brown contacts, like, because they like, gradiate, they ombre, they literally can trick you, yes.
But when you just have like, a weird bluecontact, I don't, I don't know what it is, I don't know why it bothers me so much.

No, I hear you.

so...

there feels something that's like inauthentic or weird about it and also like eyes are the windows to the soul So there's something about like looking into someone's eyes and immediately knowing that there's like something that is artificial in the eyes I can see how that would be Jarring like I don't if I'm talking to someone for a really long time like granted if it's sunny I get it But like I don't really want you to have sunglasses on the entire time We're talking because then I feel like I can't connect with you like I need to look into your eyes I could see how that would be jarring.

(04:37):
I can validate that.

Well, I think now that you're saying that, it's sort of, it is making me pull out a little bit, because whenever I see people in normal life that have colored contacts, I do always sort of like, I clock them immediately and I have a judgmental thought.
It is something I haven't really investigated.
Obviously, like, I'm going to have an impulsivereaction to things, but my evolved self is...

(04:59):
Constantly trying to practice,let people be people,

Yeah.
And what is that about?
Like, what is that reaction about?
Within

with sunglasses or like obnoxious frames, like the left eye of glasses is like a square and the right eye is a triangle,

we need to talk about this.
So my dad is, I think we've spoken about before,is his entire like personality is glasses.
Like he has a million different pairsof glasses and they're fabulous and they're over the top and I love them.
But he has this one pair of glasses where one ofthem is a circle and the other one is a square and I like Cannot stand these glasses and we get into fights about them because he's like everyone loves them and I'm like It's just so jarring for me.

(05:44):
Like I can't.

like I was on at the gym on the treadmill and like Wayne Brady, what's the shit, let's make a deal,

Yeah.

some random person contestant on there had those frames and I just got mad.
Like, I didn't even, like, I just, like, lookedand I was like, I don't know what it, why?
Why am I so judgmental of that?
I don't know.
I don't know what I'm even talking about anymore.
My complaint is just, like, and maybeit is something to the fact of, like,

Connecting.

why do the eyes make me feel the most connection?
I don't know.
Because I guess I just want to be seen.
And I don't know why I'm not, like, empathetic.
I don't know why the judgment is, like,

right.
Well, I think it's just like we go throughlife and then things like dingus you have a Visceral response to it and you can't really control it and how I kill flies, right?
Like, I just, like, I have a visceral responseand, like, you know, swatting at it before I even really think about why am I so angry?

(06:46):
Well, I think, I don't know.
Anyway, this could be appliedto any complaint, I think.

We need to investigate that because I don't know.
The only thing I can think that'sconnected to my mom is that my mom always said she had green eyes like Jesus.
And I don't know where that came from.
Cause did Jesus have green eyes?
Because wouldn't

to my knowledge, I mean, I don't really know what color Jesus's eyes

They probably would have been brown

I have no idea how, what, what are we basing that off of?

while he was Israeli.

You couldn't be Israeli and have green eyes.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Listen, look at you stereotyping Jesus

Well, I don't think I'm the one stereotyping Jesus.
I think there's an entire industrythat's stereotyping Jesus.
I'm asking questions.

and people speaking how people who dress up like Jesus.

Yeah, let's shift because this got dark.
Um, should we jump into an online review?

I would love that.
Let's do it.

Let's do it.

VOICEOVER (07:47):
Review That Review,

As you know, we are your trusty review queens.
We bring in reviews from the internetthat we feel need to be inspected.

We read you a review and break it down.
Then we rate the impact of that reviewon a scale from zero to five crowns.
It's a very regal process that we like to call.

VOICEOVER (08:07):
That Kvetch,

That's

So, Chelsea, have you got for us today?
Chelsea goes,

Well, on this All Hallows Eve, I have decided, oh my God, I'm like creeped out even by looking at this picture, you guys, to take us to

Ooh.

the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride.
So this is a review of the renowned Los AngelesHaunted Hayride, which is in Griffith Park.
Which is something that I would neverattend, personally, so I'm just gonna say that right off the bat, but, or Salia D did attend, do you want a spelling?
O R S O L Y A,

Or Solia.

Or Sol Ya, Or Sol Ya, Or Sol Ya,

gonna take our soul, I think.

Okay, Or Sol Ya, Okay, I like that.
Alright, so, Or Sol Ya D wrotethis two star review about the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride, ready?

from?

Sorry, the review, I forget all the time, sorry.
This review is from Yelp, in fact,Or Solya is an elite reviewer.

Hmm.

Alright, here we go.
I adore everything about Halloween.
October, pumpkins, fall, harvest time, etc.
I'm quite biased, being that mybirthday is in the month of October.
But it's still the best timeof the year, am I right?

(09:50):
This arduous passion means that Ilove all Halloween activities, Whether wholesome, fun, or creepy gore, I am in.
Every year at Halloween time, thelocal media screams about the L.
A.
haunted hayride in Griffith Park.

(10:11):
I've Bluntly, heard terrible things about it,It's lame and too expensive, So frankly, I never intended to attend, However, a group of friends decided to try it out and were paying for my ticket, So I couldn't refuse, Was it as bad as I expected?, Simply, Yes, it was pretty much the level of suckage I thought would be present.

(10:45):
The LA Haunted Hayride is located inGriffith Park in the area near the carousel and takes place smack in the old zoo.
Take Crystal Springs and park in the largelot by the Old Zoo, which immediately opens to the entrance of the festivities.
The lot does fill up, so prepare totrek it in proper shoes if need be.

hmm.

I also recommend pre purchasing tickets.
The L.
A.
Haunted Hayride.
Isn't just a hayride, there are otherfeatures, such as a maze and haunted house, but guys, this place is expensive, prices start at 50 per person, what the, question mark, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.

(11:40):
I'm in Griffith Park, for God's sakes,I would go to these types of things as a kid for about 10 bucks max, Jesus!
We arrived around 7pm and the park wasalready starting to fill up, Be prepared for this as it is literally what you will be dealing with the entire time when visiting the LA Haunted Hayride, What do I mean?

(12:07):
The lines here are insane andpretty much a maze in themselves.
You will stand in a line justto stand in another line.
All of the zigzagging lines are a miniworkout and nerves can start to get grated.
This build better mean that thehayride is amazing, but it isn't.

(12:33):
Once you finally get to the front ofthe line, the hayride consists of a tractor pulled flatbed covered in hay.
In which patrons sit on the floor ratherthan on hay bales, as one would expect.
The actual hay ride is a grade school carnival.
There is only one semi creepymoment of the whole ride.

(12:58):
The one credit given to the hay rideis that the tractor driver moves slowly enough for everyone to see all the shows and literally stops at certain points.
Plus, the actors do actually attemptto creep you out and aren't half assing it, but the overall theme and sets are cringeworthy and not in a Halloween way.

(13:27):
To say the least, the insanely longline and the sky high price is a travesty and not worth it at all.
The L.
A.
Haunted Hayride shouldn't be pricedat more than 15 and even that is high.
We were so disappointed, we didn't even check outthe other attractions, which we had access to, for the record, definitely stay away from this, if you have a hay allergy, the hay is everywhere, on the ground, in the line, etc., and not just on the actual hayride, this is hay bales galore, The L.

(14:10):
A.
Haunted Hayride is definitely as lameas people make it out to be and is only suggested for kids or teens or on a date.
Perhaps parents with children, but I don't see howadults can be okay with paying 50 for this crap.
There are so many other equally priced buthigher quality Halloween attractions in L.

(14:33):
A.
And ones that are even cheaper, Stay away fromthe LA Haunted Hayride, Unless you have money to blow and love standing in lines for a sad payoff.

Wow.
How old do you think or Solia is?

I, I mean, I get the vibe that Orsolea is like late 20s,

Like, because they talk about going out with their friends, like, I did get a younger vibe.

Right, like I just feel like being so obsessed with your birthday, And like doing something with your friends to the point where your friends are gonna buy a ticket, It just feels very like late 20s to me.

Well, alright, so, I've actually did, I've been to the Haunted Hayride in LA twice,

You have?

yes, and had a very different experience, so,

Oh,

very interesting.

Okay.

So I, well, first of all, I just want to start where Orsolya did.
Chelsey, what do you thinkis the best time of the year?

I mean, I think my birthday, like I think summer, and like my birthday is June 22nd, which is the summer solstice.
So I love the summer.
And I just assume thateverybody feels the same way.
So maybe it is something to do with whenyour birthday is, because what about you?

Well, I do think the change of every season is, like, the best time of the year.
Like, I, I actually agree and thinkthat October is, like, the best.
I just, I think fall is my favorite season.
And now with global warming and how theEarth's about to die, we don't have, like,

not talk about that.

like, we don't have fall really anymore, you know?
But my birthday is in spring, and Ithink, like, Spring is so lovely, but I also recognize when it turns to summer,

is lovely.

that's really awesome, too, because you're like, yay, warmth, but,

Yeah, I mean, I would definitely say spring and summer are my favorites because I feel like they're about life and the others are about death.

well, I do agree with Arcelia in a way, because I love Halloween, I love when

You do love Halloween.

do, but I love the, like, I love wearing sweaters, and I love scarves, and I love flannel, and I love, like, when people are, like, decorating their yard, like, it's everyone's just, like, in the spirit of play, which I think is really fun, and, and I like, Spooky things, but I hate haunted houses.
I hate walking through

So you like the hayride because you're like in, in, uh, what do they call it?

And the

in plain air or whatever it is, like you're like in open air.

Well, the thing is, is like, they cram people into the tractor thing.
So like, you could be a lucky one.
And I was like, pushing strangers to makesure I was in the center, because it is like, basically three rows of people.
And I don't want to be on an end because

Right.
You don't want to be on theoutside and get touched.
Yeah.

Right.
But they've thought about that.
And so some of the people have like longsticks, and they like, like, aim for the people in the center but then of course at a certain point the tractor driver gets kidnapped and then you're like you have

Oh, wow.

which is like

When did you go?
Just out of curiosity.

it would have been probably in 2016

Okay.

oh maybe i've only been once i've only been once but okay don't make fun of me I've actually, like, watched full 45 minute, like, POV walkthroughs of it, because there is this, I feel like we must have talked about this on an aftershow, but there is one specific setup that you drive through that was spine tingling, bone chillingly terrifying.

Oh my god, no, thank you.

But not in like a, not in a gruesome or like bloody way, It just, they like choreographed like 30 people turning their heads at you in an instant, like with the music, and it was so shocking, That I can't imagine not giving the thing more than five stars,

I mean, Trey, we, we need to share, I think, on our Instagram this week the video that you took of me watching,

Know We Did Last Summer,

I know what you did last summer.
I was like terrified at the first jumpscare and Trey caught it on video.
You know, you guys know, I'm not about this life.
But I, I'm willing to put that aside becauseit's Halloween and I wanted to get on board.
And that was why I loved Ursulia's review andhow it started, because I thought Ursulia, in my opinion, and now I know Trey, you had a different experience, but I do feel like someone that loves Halloween, that loves October, that loves pumpkin.

(18:57):
It just feels like to me,Ursulia is really game and like.
Even though they didn't buy theticket, I think it's sort of funny that they didn't buy the ticket.
They're so focused on thepaying of how expensive it is.
It's like, you didn't buy it, bitch.
But anyway, not to be like that, but

well in this same conversation, they hated it, they hated the hayride so much that they were like, we're not even entertaining

gonna do the other stuff.

but then I was sort of thinking, well like,

You didn't take

to, is it fair to take, leave this review, but then I was like, well, I think if you hated it that much, that is review worthy,

right.
Totally.
Corsolio went into this wanting it to be bad.

but they had been told that it was lame,

Yeah, I mean, I definitely think that paints a picture, just like when somebody tells you that a movie is bad and then you see it, like, yeah, like, I definitely think that there was an expectation, but I think that Orsolia was willing to be convinced otherwise,

You know what I just thought of?
Imagine if you were the friend thatpaid for the ticket and the whole time Arcelia was like, A LEVEL OF SUCKAGE IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ANTICIPATING!
I would be like, Arcelia,you're out of the friend group.

I don't know, I mean, do you think that Orsolia, I got the impression, which is interesting that you say that, that Orsolia was sort of the voice of the group,

It seems like the group was not enjoying it.
And the comment about make sureyou have appropriate shoes...

Yes.

Who is gonna wear high heels to a haunted hayride?

Oh my god, girl, if you're on a date or something like that, I can absolutely see girls showing up there in heels.

I can't do it.
Wait, Orselio was upset that it's like a flatbedtractor that just has loose hay and They're not sitting on hay bales, and then at the end they're complaining that there's hay bales everywhere.
Did you catch that?
like, Orselio?
Uh,

I think that they're like talking about in line, I imagine that the lines are probably like separated by hay bales, I did think that that was weird, I mean, I'm assuming that they didn't do the hay bales thing, maybe because they thought they could fit more people in, but like when I think of a, I've gone on many hay rides, I've never gone on a haunted hay ride, but I've been on many hay rides, and you are sitting on like, it's like a bench made of hay, it's a hay bale bench.

(21:09):
Have you never experienced that?

I don't know.

I've never gone on a hayride, like a traditional hayride and just sat on loose on the ground hay, like that's crazy.

I didn't have a single thought or consideration about like the actual hayride.
I was, like, scared.
I was, like, scared of being

You're like, wherever you want me to go, I'll just make myself small.

you obviously live exceedingly close to Griffith Park.
You've been many times.
You go all the time, right?

for sure.

Okay.
Would you say Griffith Park is small?

Definitely not.
No.

So if you were presenting a function and you had to hire actors, hire people to construct stuff, hire drivers, hire all the stuff, how much do you think is a fair price?
To do a Haunted Hayride.
Because 50 does sound like a lotto me, I want to say that as well.
I would think more

I mean, I just think because of the mass amount of people that are going to be coming in and out of here also, I don't, this wasn't mentioned in our Solios review, but it was mentioned in some of the other reviews.
So I don't know if this is the case.
I know there was like a VIP ticketand a VIP line and a regular.
So I feel like 50 feels appropriate for the VIP,which maybe the friends did buy if it included the mazes and all of that other stuff, because I want to say I read some reviews that maybe mentioned like a cheaper ticket price, but it was like all the cart for the other stuff,

Well it sounds like when they went, the VIP ticket did not include like a VIP line.

Right, although a lot of reviews were saying like I did buy the VIP and like I still waited in a

Well that's like Disney too, right?
It's like now everyone goes and

that's what the people were comparing it to, right?
Exactly.

Or even, it's like

it's like I'm glad I bought it because I would have waited like two hours instead of 30

it's like PreCheck, everyone is PreCheck now, so now sometimes you'll look over and the normal line is

exactly,

Well, I feel like we talked about this in the past, about like, the Ren Faire, and I'm sure we talked about it at Halloween again, because it does occur to me, if you're gonna go two weeks before Halloween, you're probably gonna wait longer.
If you're going Halloween night,You're going to be there for 24 hours.
You know what I mean?
Like plan appropriately, I would say,

right, because we know, we don't know exactly when this was, but we know that it was a birthday thing, and so we know that it was in October,

good point, Chelsey.
I, I actually guarantee if we wentto look, I bet the 50 is because it included access to everything else.
That's a really good distinction.
And, or Solia doesn't know cause shedidn't pay, her friend, Tiffany paid.

right, exactly, that is the one thing about Ursulia that's like kind of bothering me, is that they've like double, triple, quadruple down on this whole message about the cost, But then they also told us that they didn't pay for it.
And then at no place where they werelike, I'm so mad that my friend, Tiffany spent so much money, poor Tiffany.
I don't know.
Like I think mentioned the price once it'slike worthy of acknowledging it's kind of expensive, but don't you feel like they just, they hit it and they hit it and they hit it and they hit it and there's other attractions that are less and it's just like, come on, we got

yeah, it's very clear that the price point was outside of Orsaglio's comfort.
And I also have the comparison tolike, I only paid like 10 max as a kid.
It's like, okay, that's why anotherreason why I wanted another age, because I'm like, of course things were cheaper when you were a kid, everything.
Have you ever looked at the cost of milk?

Right, right, right.
What do you think my favoritepart of this review was?

And now I'm nervous.

If you have a hay allergy, definitely stay away,

It's in the title.

mean,

Yeah, that.

If you have a hay allergy,

Hey, hay is

don't go to a hay ride, I mean, That to me was so funny,

I'm getting a feeling that Orsolio probably was like, I have asthma from the hay.
Guys, I think I have a hay allergy.

I'm having a hay fever.

I do recall how many people there were.
I don't remember the lines and all of that,but there were like traffic controllers and like with like jackets and those wands.
Like there was so

an attempt at controlling the chaos.

Do you think it's valuable, new, unique information?

Well, I do because I do get the feeling that Orsolia takes their job as an elite reviewer seriously, and I think they really break down the entire experience from parking your car.
Like, I, I like being like, if youpark your car and you get in the parking lot, then you're probably okay.
If you park your car and you don't getin the parking lot, then you want to make sure you have comfortable shoes.

(25:49):
Like, this is how much it's gonna cost.
Like, I do think that Orsolia...
is, is, is detailed and intendingto provide valuable information.
As a reviewer, I do think that's true.

Yeah.
The money does really come across.
Like, it is, it does sound expensive to me, butI'm also thinking it's once a year and whatever.
Spelling, grammar?

Excellent.

I had a feeling.
And then the Truthful Shady is challengingfor me because I agree with your point that it does Come across that Orsalia is really game at the beginning Except they've been tainted by hearing it's lame and that they've never tried to go and that they wouldn't

just like a quick side caveat about the tainted thing and whether or not that that plays a part in this review, anyone who goes to this Yelp page, the overall Yelp score is low.
So.
If you're going to go, it's two and a half, 2.

Holy moly.

1, 276 reviews.
So I think almost maybe it'squeenly that Arsolia calls it out.

Heard.
That's a that's a good distinction

Yeah,

I mean it, I think they're being truthful to their experience, and I think it's nice that it's a two star, not a one star, because it really feels like a very bad experience from Orsolia.

And that leads us to like the common fluky, typical.
I mean, I think what's interesting here for usas review queens, which I don't know how much we should consider this going in, is that you did experience it and you did have a good time.

I think the commonality factor is like people have different barometers of fear.

Right.
Yeah.

It's going to be subjective no matter

I mean, yeah, I mean at the end there, I mean it says stay away unless you have money to blow or love standing in lines for a sad payoff, I mean, we are kind of like generalizing everyone's experience I think in that conclusion in a way, so,

but there is a, there is an impact for me because I have the instant story.
Like I can see that waiting in the linestarts to really grate on your nerves.
As they say, it's like, it startsto get worse and worse and worse.
And then you don't reallyfeel spooked out, but there.
The thing I love about Halloween is, like, we allare, like, tingly, giggly, like, eee, eee, oh, God, it's scary, like, there's fun, that's why seeing a scary movie in a theater is fun, because you're sharing the experience of the fright, so for the whole group to be, like, this is terrible, let's just go home, that's tough to swallow.

I think so.
Okay.
Was there humor here?
Were we laughing?
I mean, I was laughing a little bit with Orsolia.
I wasn't like bowled over, but I kind oflike have a vision of who I think Orsolia is based on the way that they write.

hay bales galore,

It feels galore.

let's take our Zyrtec and crown.

All right, let's, let's go into the crowning.

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 ratings.

VOICEOVER (28:47):
The Queens Are Tabulating, Total
Score,

Okay, interesting, so I'm holding up four and a half crowns, Trey is holding up three and a half crowns, Trey, you go first, not middle of the road, diva, why three and a half, a full crown over, middle of the road, from you, Trey,

you, I was gonna lead with that, I think it's better the middle of the road to me, oh my god I'm realizing you're a half crown from Review Queen.
Yeah, uh, were there photos?

the rent,

that's fine.
It's, it would have been dark anyway.
So, all right, I'm saying three and a halfbecause I think that Orsolia really captures their experience in a way that comes across as truthful.
I'm a little bit nitpicky about some ofthe like details only because I don't know that Orsolia's expectations would have been mine, and I do think that 50 is high.

yeah,

But I think that maybe they left out some specific details about why it was a 50 ticket and they had access to other things and all this like, you know, I think like, is there a VIP?
Like, I don't know.
We have questions.
So that wasn't as thorough as it could be.
And also like, I think there's valuein hearing that like the line control needs to really be reevaluated.
But I don't know what to do when you have thiscontract at Griffith Park to do this every year.

(30:06):
It's like, people are going tocome even if their overall is 2.
4.
Like, I don't know.
And then also because I had a differentexperience, but I went years ago, and so maybe it is different every year, and I don't think this would stop me from going, because I am a little bit of a fraidy cat, so maybe hearing that it wasn't that scary, would actually make me feel confident going, so, three and a half, I think it's gonna sit with me, but not probably for the rest of my life, Chelsey, why did you say one half crown away from our total review queen?

I know I was a little high.
It was between four and four and a half Butultimately there's something about Orsolya that feels very voice of the people to me.
I don't know why I think it's just the waythat they introduce themselves as kind of being the perfect audience For this experience that immediately makes me trust them in a way that I wouldn't trust just a random reviewer.

(30:58):
I think they do a really good job of settingthat up at the top, giving me that enthusiasm without being crazy, you know, and I buy that we had a two stars worth of experience and we gave it two stars, not one star.
So that makes me feel like it's not so.
bitter right i mean with the overall we're notdoing much to move the needle with a two star review so i felt like orsolea did a good job i feel we were a little redundant about the pricing but i thought that the hay allergy was so funny to me And just really tickled me and I think that Ursula is interesting and a part of me wants to be like, I don't know, maybe not the hayride, maybe like going somewhere and having a really nice cup of apple cider, like, I think I'd be down to hang with Ursula and the gals, so for that reason, I went with four and a half crowns for Ursula,

Very nice, funny review,

Thank

I can't believe you've never been, and I have, that's so funny,

you can't believe I've never been.

well, it's like, you know, or Solia says it's not scary,

Okay, well maybe since Arsolia, no,

maybe you'll get this weekend,

doing it, no way, uh uh, sorry, but I will watch Hocus Pocus in my living room with anyone that wants to come over in a onesie.

there you go,

Alright, my queen.
We have gotten to the mostHalloween regal portion of our show.
Trey, who are you inducting for?

VOICEOVER (32:27):
My Royal Highness.

well, very fun, it is maybe spooky to some, I want to share that I just had my very first ever astrology chart Reading

Oh, yes.
Interesting.

named Astrology with Andy.
You can go to astrology with andy.com.
They're also at astrology with Andy, and I'llshare with you, I don't have an exclusive connection or like rich history with astrology.
We did share very early on.
I once went to a psychic and it was this horrible,outrageous experience that happened twice.

(33:01):
With the same psychic, but I don't think ofthis as the same thing and Andy has sort of made carved out a niche where they do like career readings of very famous celebrities.
I heard this podcast where they were trackingMadonna's career through their birth chart And looking at specific dates and also Andy does like business astrology chart readings and because everything has a beginning date and so you can sort of track everything through their chart so he has done like a reading for the United States of America and like France and so it's interesting so I had this 90 minute reading it was really fascinating Ultimately, I, like, felt really validated in a lot of, like, opinions and thoughts that I have, and also, Andy is not, like, a fatalistic astrologer.

(33:50):
Andy, really, his analogy is that all ofthis is very much like a weather forecast.
We know it's going to start snowing on Wednesday.
So you have the free will to choose to wear acoat on Wednesday, or you can wear flip flops.
So it's your choice because you have free will.
And so it isn't like woo wee woo wee.
It's just sort of like, Oh, theseseem to be themes in your life.

(34:10):
And like, how are you confrontingthem and challenging them and meeting them, et cetera, et cetera.
So I just really cannot recommend it.
More highly to everyone.
I would love for everyone to check Andy out.
That is astrologywithandy.
com and I'm still processingand, and it is on zoom.
So you can meet with Andy whereveryou are and you get to record it.

(34:31):
And so I'm like.
Going back through the recording andlooking at specific dates from the past.
It's just like really fascinating Totallyrecommend even if you like don't have a history Like I've never had a history as my first reading and I like really walked away feeling very emotional and empowered Which was like really remarkable.
So astrology with Andy you are my royal highness

I feel like very proud of you because I do feel like after your psychic experience, I wasn't sure if you would ever entertain something like that again.
So kudos to you.

Why, thank you.

Yes.
Love that.
