The Queens are back for Part 2 of this Versus Episode, where things get spicy as they review a 1 Star Amazon Review of the Stanley Cup. Chelsey’s reviewer might be mad at Target, delivery drivers, or Stanley itself—we're honestly not sure—but the drama is real and the emotional damage is done. 😤
Before diving into the chaos, the Queens kick things off with a dramatic round of Meryl-Go-Round, transforming petty 1 Star zingers into theatrical gold. Then it’s on to this episode’s main review, where even sparkles can’t save a cup from scorn.
PLUS: The Queens revisit TikTok controversies, debate cup integrity, and crown a Royal Highness who may or may not be TikTok famous.

(00:01):
Everybody's got an opinion.
Every Californian, Virginian inVirginia, it's so hard to tell
who to cho and who to ignore.
Someone's gotta settle The Score.
Trey aChelseyyBD will help youchoose who's views win, which.
(00:31):
Well, hello everyone.
Welcome back to part two of our deepdive into A versus comparison of the
Stanley Cup reviews on amazon.com.
Now, if you are just now joiningus, go back to part one where we
covered the five star from theelusive one, and now we're gonna.
(00:54):
The one star review.
But before we do that, try, I think we'vepromised something else to our listeners,
like maybe a spin on the Meryl-Go-Round.
'I don't feel like an icon.
Most of the days, I feel like 'I can't!'.
That's with An, A'.
Here's the deal.
(01:15):
Trey and I each have picked a rotten,scathing, pithy, One-Star-Zinger,
and with 30 seconds on the clock.
We'll take turns trying to recite thezinger in as many genres as possible,
just like Queen Meryl Streep, whodoes it all before the clock runs out.
Okay.
Chelsey, what you got?
Alright, so I kept in the Stanley theme.
(01:37):
I went over to Target and found theirspecial Valentine's Day Stanley.
It's actually quite gorgeous.
It has some, uh, hearts on it.
There's a red and a pink option.
Very, very nice.
Um, this review is written by Eric.
It's a one star review.
Obviously the subject is, Inever got it, and the review
(02:01):
is, I never got it when it came.
A target employee took it.
Okay?
Yep.
Well, I'm gonna strap youinto a target shopping cart.
Okay.
Alright, queen.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Three, Two, One, GO!.
Aura.
I never got it when I came.
(02:23):
Targeted boy, Southern.
I never got I, oh shit, I never got it.
I can't do it.
What happened?
This I game show it.
What's, I don't know what happened, guys.
Game show.
I never got it when
news.
I never got it when it came a.
(02:46):
In drama
and you it came, target, employee took it.
That's, I dunno what happened with mySouthern accent and it just went away
for a second and I could do it now.
I have no problem doing it.
It's the pressure.
My brain just couldn't do it.
It's all good.
I never got
it when it came andTarget employee took it.
Geez.
(03:06):
I dunno why that happens sometimes.
It's fine.
You got five?
Okay, I'll take it.
So I wanted to stay
icy cold.
Mm. So I have a One-Star-Zinger fromAmazon for the um Wman ice cube tray
with lid and bin round ice trays forfreezer with lid, uh, ice cube trays
(03:29):
for freezer with ice container 0.8 inch.
Two pack blue.
Oh my goodness.
It's super color.
This also was 10,000 plusbought in the past month.
Um, they're like $6.
Okay.
(03:50):
This review, the zinger is written by bs.
The, um, subject is.
CK the size da.
They are real small, so I think that'ssupposed to mean check the size.
Mm.
And their subject is POS, which Ithink stands for a piece of shit.
(04:10):
Okay.
All right.
I'm gonna strap you into the handleof, of a Stanley Cup 'cause it's
a nice, you can really hold on.
I think r You ready?
Yes, let's do it.
Okay.
Three, Two,
One, GO!.
Stop.
(04:33):
Grandma
What?
Grandma?
Grandma.
Grandma
os out
superhero.
Real world
Romcom
Os.
(04:55):
That was really good.
That's a callback to part one.
Everyone.
4, 5, 6, 8. Trey.
Very good.
The
winner.
It was peaking and so I waslike, what does she say?
I couldn't tell.
Oh.
I was like, grandma.
Okay.
Alright.
That was a fun little like.
A buch.
Now let's get back into the drama.
(05:16):
I'm really ready 'cause I don'twanna spend $60 on a water bottle.
So let's do this one star.
Well, I did a little bit of a teasethere with grandma because this
review is written by a grandma.
That's right.
Oh, okay.
So if you can trust anybody,I think you can trust grandma.
But let's see if you feel likeyou can trust this grandma Carol.
(05:42):
With an E at the end.
This is Carol the grandma's.
You'll find out onestar review subject is,
does not hold up for an extremelyexpensive cup to hold your water.
Okay.
This was written recently, Marchof 2024, so within the year or so.
(06:05):
Okay.
All right.
I bought two Stanley Cups at thesame time for my grand girls.
One is this one leaks because itleaks her teacher ass that she
not use it at school in her class.
This is what my 7-year-oldwanted it for to show it.
(06:28):
I bought this cup not even twomonths ago, and it leaks being
it was bought two months ago.
They'll not replace it 35and in two months it leaks.
That shows me the poor qualityof these very expensive cups.
Stanley, you should be ashamed ofyourself for not replacing this cup.
(06:52):
My grand girls were so surprised whenthese cups arrived at their home,
a special gift from their Grammy.
They can only take it to cheerand one can use it at school.
That how special they are to them
for that price.
It's a shame that this one leaks.
(07:13):
I myself bought one at Walmartsix months ago for 9 99.
It does not leak.
It has hit the ground several times.
Tossed in my car.
So for 9 99, it is holdingme up better than 35 0 0.
Stanley.
It also comes in many pretty colors.
(07:34):
Has a lid that can be used threedifferent ways, and my grand
girls have designed it for me.
Being a Grammy, I don't need a $35cup that leaks, but to a seven and
8-year-old, the Stanley, S-T-A-N-L-Ywas very important to them just
(07:55):
to see the joy on their faces andthe excitement and surprise to,
to get a package in their name.
When I had it delivered totheir home, was well worth the
overpriced Stanley S-T-A-N-L-Y mug.
It just sucks.
(08:16):
One, can't bring it to school and can'tbe used as intended for my 7-year-old.
Is Carol a grandma?
I I, I'm not sure.
Wait, I, I don't know that I've ever inmy life heard the phrase grand girls.
(08:38):
Yeah.
But my God, is that funny?
That's
cute, right?
My grand girls.
My grand girls, so I Where areyou, where are you placing Carol?
In the continental United States.
I, I think I'm placing her like sortof south, but not like very south.
Like.
Yeah, I think that too, you
know, I don't know whatthat would be like.
(08:59):
Maybe like Tennessee.
But Tennessee can be twangy.
Oh, I feel like, I feel like Carol'sprobably like North Carolina.
North
Carolina.
Like Appalachian.
Appalachian.
Yeah.
Um,
Appalachian.
Ian.
Grammy.
Grammy.
That sounds southern to me.
Yeah.
Also like they're not northern andJewish because they said it's a scandal
(09:21):
and they would've said a Shonda.
Shonda.
Yeah.
Um.
I missed at the beginning that it was $35.
So like at some point in thereview it's just like 35.
It's exactly.
I was like, same.
When I first on the
review, I was like 35 wa.
Right.
Because I think of StanleyCups as like 50 plus.
Exactly.
So I'm like, oh, it wasprobably the little ones.
(09:42):
Yeah.
You know, the point of view on thisis so funny because I understand
that like the grandma is like,why do they want these cups?
They're like, it's so stupid.
Yeah.
Like what?
And they're so expensive.
Like I'll just get a fake one.
Call back to part one.
That's right.
Again.
Yes.
On get a 9 99 1.
Like that's all of mine.
Hello.
Cheers.
(10:02):
Mm-hmm.
Um, but it's very sweet that the Grammydid purchase them for the grand girls.
And then here we go.
You have one that is perfect, right?
And one that leaks.
Yeah.
And.
I, I got a little lost becauseGrammy Carol is like mad that Stanley
won't replace it after two months,which I guess like, yeah, sure.
(10:23):
But if you bought it on Amazon, thenI'm sort of like, well then who?
I don't know the leaking, you don'twant it to leak if you're spending
this much money, but yet again, if welook back at part one, they do sell
all of these accessories to sort of.
Refute that or stop that, but Idon't want to pay 35 and it leak.
(10:46):
So I understand Grammy'spoint of view there,
Grammy, but I do alsowonder where is it leaking?
Like is it leaking from the top or isit like leaking from the bottom or like.
I mean, I feel like it must not beleaking from the bottom if they can
still bring it to cheer practice.
Well, okay, so that was, what's the
problem with it leaking at school,and why is one of them leaking at
(11:06):
school and the other one's not?
Like, I don't know.
It sounds a little weird.
Well, in my mind, I feel like in cheerpractice everyone is sweaty and like
it's more athletic and people are agile.
Like, so, like if it's sch or if there'sa little puddle you're in, in the,
you're fine.
You're in the gym.
Yeah.
Okay.
But no, I know, it seemsto me like, you know.
(11:27):
Things just get bannedat school for no reason.
Yes.
Remember like the spinners werebanned and like That's right.
You know?
That's
right.
Like spaghetti straps werebanned when I was a kid.
Right.
So it's like, I'm sure theStanley Cups are getting banned.
I love how the grandma
recognizes, like that was the whole point.
She wanted to show off, go off, you know,classmates and now she can't even do that.
What's the point of that?
That's the clarity and theprivilege, uh, of being an A Grammy.
(11:50):
That's right.
Andy Williams used to talkabout that all the time.
It's like once you reach 60, youcan say whatever the fuck you want.
Right.
And the world has to justsit there and take it.
And Grammy is like, I'm calling bullshit.
I know that.
My little grand girls, yes.
They just wanna show off.
They wanna show off that theyhave it and they can't even do it.
I'm pissed certain off.
I'm still the grandma, so I'mgonna buy it for them, even
(12:11):
though I think it's ridiculous.
Exactly.
And my 9 99 1 has threedifferent lid options.
I mean, see, but even that detail iswhy this is pretty queenly because
it is a rant, but it's from sucha specific point of view that it's
really valuable to me because, but thenagain, I just appreciate the details.
Yeah.
(12:31):
Even when it's a one star and you'relike upset and you're disappointed in
the project, you're product, you're stillsaying like it has three different ways.
Like they're sort of sellingthe product in a way.
Um.
And mentioning like youcan get a cheaper version.
That's right.
But
I mean, I do think there'sa lot of value here.
I think that the spelling and grammaris really funny to me because we had
Stanley spelled right the whole time.
(12:53):
The for what?
And
that.
No, twice.
As soon as we started writing Stanley in,in caps, 'cause we were really getting
like Stanley, you know, like reallygetting, then we just, we took out the EE.
So that was the only real spelling error.
I think maybe there was one littletiny one other than that, but,
and I believe Carol.
Yeah.
(13:13):
Look, I, I don't think it's shady.
I think it's, I don't think it's shady
at all.
And I also think that I'm startingto get the idea of maybe it is
common in the sense that like wehave a, now we have a test group of
three Stanleys between the first.
Review and the two that grandma bought.
And I sort of believe that likeevery, like one out of three or like
(13:36):
whatever, your one out of howevermany bottles that are probably
sold are gonna eventually leak.
Okay.
So that, I mean, we're like so simpatico.
Yeah, because I was gonna say,what do you think statistically?
Like, is that just what you,we have to deal with like.
They vacuum sealed products Likeis every now and then are you?
I mean, I would hope not,
but it's like who knows?
(13:57):
Like maybe I always think like maybesomebody returned it 'cause they realized
it leaked and then it gets set back out.
I don't know.
Like there's gotta be something with thequality control is not a hundred percent.
It's so upsetting.
I know.
I mean, I just wish the granny had beenable to figure this out before two months.
'cause I think that's the wholepoint is like it lasted two months.
(14:19):
It was like so expensive.
And two months was outsideof the return window,
right?
I mean just the POV alone.
Yes.
And the self to declaring ofbeing a grandma to grand girls.
Yes.
Like it's very funny.
It's funny.
It's very entertaining.
Yes.
I instantly know Carol, but.
(14:39):
It is.
I don't know if it's a deal breaker forme, which I'll talk about in the Crown.
Okay.
Yeah.
Anything else for you?
I can crown Carol.
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah.
All right.
So Chelsey and I each have our ownset of zero to five crown cards.
In an effort to be fair and notinfluenced by one another, we will
simultaneously reveal our ratings.
The Queens are Tabulating.
(15:03):
Okay, the queens are unanimous.
Four and a half crowns.
Four and a half crowns tray.
You go first buy four and ahalf crowns for Granny Carol.
35. 35. I don't know, like thispersonally, just in my point of view,
would not stop me from buying it.
Like I kind of do want to buy one still,
(15:25):
but I find.
It has a cautionary tale,I believe Grammy Carol.
I don't think they're being shady.
I think they're genuinelyfrustrated that like one was
defective, the other one wasn't.
It's very expensive.
My, it's for my little grand girl.
She can't show off.
Like, it's frustrating.
I get it.
I believe it.
Um, it's strong, you know,the, the typos unfortunate.
(15:49):
Um.
But anytime you're a Grammy andyou're leaving such detailed reviews,
like you just get props from me.
'cause like I don't understand TikTok.
So like, you know, this is a Grammythat's on Amazon leaving a really
solid review, four and a half.
Not totally reviewQueenie, but very close.
Why did you say four and a half?
I agree.
I have a very soft spotin my heart for Granny.
(16:11):
I just sort of like them.
I find them to be very genuine.
I can see other people, grandma's parents.
Uh, the ants getting in a similarsituation with a younger kid,
and I just, I, I really connectedwith the narrative, so I loved it.
The only reason I took off a half Crownpersonally was I wish I had known a
little bit more about how it was leaking,because if it is just like a leaking
(16:35):
from the straw, then I can be like, oh,I'll just buy one of those stoppers.
Um, if it's like perspiratingor something like that, then
that's a much bigger issue.
Wait, the stoppers totally just mademe re think of the Crocs guy that we
like talked about how the, whoeverwas the CEO or president or whatever
of Crocs joined Stanley, but thosestoppers look, look like those, they're
(16:57):
like the Gibbs, the Gbbt thingies.
They're very similar.
Oh God, you're
so right, Trey.
And that is such a brilliant marketingscheme because that's like a never ending
additional revenue genius.
Alright, well
here we are.
Yes, we have reached the end.
We have.
Looked at an insanely detailedfive star and part one.
Go back and watch if you haven't.
(17:19):
Now we have deduced this five starIGI gave both four and a half.
You gave four to the five starand four and a half to the five.
So I've sort of already saidI still want the Stanley like
yeah, I don't think kind of won though.
I think I still want it.
I don't think this, this one star.
Was really damning.
(17:39):
If anything, I think it really increasedthe brand awareness and how much
people love it and you wanna be ableto show it off and be that person.
So I don't think it did a a ton of harm.
I think that if I bought the StanleyCup, I would like put it through rigorous
testing within the return window tomake sure that it wasn't gonna leak.
(18:01):
And I think I owe that to Grannyand so I'm grateful that I read
that review, that one star review.
But I don't feel like it's a deal breaker.
No, I don't either.
I mean, Stanley comes
out on top.
Stanley comes out on top.
I mean, they really did.
I think the
4.7 overall sticks,
(18:21):
I think so.
90,000 reviews, so many reviews.
Um, also, I, I meant to say,but Chelsey shirt says Queen.
It doesn't say queer.
It's like the rainbowness is throwing me off.
Um.
Queen, queen, queen, queen.
But it'd be great if it's a queer as well.
That'd be fine with me.
Um,
(18:41):
all right, well, do you haveany, any last thoughts here?
Um, thirsty.
I think like I do, I'm thirsty andI feel like a little bit jealous
of people that I'm family, whichis a little bit, I don't know why.
Oh my God.
Also they have these really gorgeouslike shiny embossed limited edition
ones that are like $78 and theyhave like really beautiful detail.
(19:04):
Like I really want one.
I know
my niece has the one that has like thesnack tray and my mom bought her the snack
tray that goes on top for her gymnastics.
That is
so funny.
You can literally
put a whole snack tray on top of it.
It's crazy.
They, they, they've thought of everything.
I just bought this, so Yeah.

That was a fun little like.
A buch.
Now let's get back into the drama.
(05:16):
I'm really ready 'cause I don'twanna spend $60 on a water bottle.
So let's do this one star.
Well, I did a little bit of a teasethere with grandma because this
review is written by a grandma.
That's right.
Oh, okay.
So if you can trust anybody,I think you can trust grandma.
But let's see if you feel likeyou can trust this grandma Carol.
(05:42):
With an E at the end.
This is Carol the grandma's.
You'll find out onestar review subject is,
does not hold up for an extremelyexpensive cup to hold your water.
Okay.
This was written recently, Marchof 2024, so within the year or so.
(06:05):
Okay.
All right.
I bought two Stanley Cups at thesame time for my grand girls.
One is this one leaks because itleaks her teacher ass that she
not use it at school in her class.
This is what my 7-year-oldwanted it for to show it.
(06:28):
I bought this cup not even twomonths ago, and it leaks being
it was bought two months ago.
They'll not replace it 35and in two months it leaks.
That shows me the poor qualityof these very expensive cups.
Stanley, you should be ashamed ofyourself for not replacing this cup.
(06:52):
My grand girls were so surprised whenthese cups arrived at their home,
a special gift from their Grammy.
They can only take it to cheerand one can use it at school.
That how special they are to them
for that price.
It's a shame that this one leaks.
(07:13):
I myself bought one at Walmartsix months ago for 9 99.
It does not leak.
It has hit the ground several times.
Tossed in my car.
So for 9 99, it is holdingme up better than 35 0 0.
Stanley.
It also comes in many pretty colors.
(07:34):
Has a lid that can be used threedifferent ways, and my grand
girls have designed it for me.
Being a Grammy, I don't need a $35cup that leaks, but to a seven and
8-year-old, the Stanley, S-T-A-N-L-Ywas very important to them just
(07:55):
to see the joy on their faces andthe excitement and surprise to,
to get a package in their name.
When I had it delivered totheir home, was well worth the
overpriced Stanley S-T-A-N-L-Y mug.
It just sucks.
(08:16):
One, can't bring it to school and can'tbe used as intended for my 7-year-old.
Is Carol a grandma?
I I, I'm not sure.
Wait, I, I don't know that I've ever inmy life heard the phrase grand girls.
(08:38):
Yeah.
But my God, is that funny?
That's
cute, right?
My grand girls.
My grand girls, so I Where areyou, where are you placing Carol?
In the continental United States.
I, I think I'm placing her like sortof south, but not like very south.
Like.
Yeah, I think that too, you
know, I don't know whatthat would be like.
(08:59):
Maybe like Tennessee.
But Tennessee can be twangy.
Oh, I feel like, I feel like Carol'sprobably like North Carolina.
North
Carolina.
Like Appalachian.
Appalachian.
Yeah.
Um,
Appalachian.
Ian.
Grammy.
Grammy.
That sounds southern to me.
Yeah.
Also like they're not northern andJewish because they said it's a scandal
(09:21):
and they would've said a Shonda.
Shonda.
Yeah.
Um.
I missed at the beginning that it was $35.
So like at some point in thereview it's just like 35.
It's exactly.
I was like, same.
When I first on the
review, I was like 35 wa.
Right.
Because I think of StanleyCups as like 50 plus.
Exactly.
So I'm like, oh, it wasprobably the little ones.
(09:42):
Yeah.
You know, the point of view on thisis so funny because I understand
that like the grandma is like,why do they want these cups?
They're like, it's so stupid.
Yeah.
Like what?
And they're so expensive.
Like I'll just get a fake one.
Call back to part one.
That's right.
Again.
Yes.
On get a 9 99 1.
Like that's all of mine.
Hello.
Cheers.
(10:02):
Mm-hmm.
Um, but it's very sweet that the Grammydid purchase them for the grand girls.
And then here we go.
You have one that is perfect, right?
And one that leaks.
Yeah.
And.
I, I got a little lost becauseGrammy Carol is like mad that Stanley
won't replace it after two months,which I guess like, yeah, sure.
(10:23):
But if you bought it on Amazon, thenI'm sort of like, well then who?
I don't know the leaking, you don'twant it to leak if you're spending
this much money, but yet again, if welook back at part one, they do sell
all of these accessories to sort of.
Refute that or stop that, but Idon't want to pay 35 and it leak.
(10:46):
So I understand Grammy'spoint of view there,
Grammy, but I do alsowonder where is it leaking?
Like is it leaking from the top or isit like leaking from the bottom or like.
I mean, I feel like it must not beleaking from the bottom if they can
still bring it to cheer practice.
Well, okay, so that was, what's the
problem with it leaking at school,and why is one of them leaking at
(11:06):
school and the other one's not?
Like, I don't know.
It sounds a little weird.
Well, in my mind, I feel like in cheerpractice everyone is sweaty and like
it's more athletic and people are agile.
Like, so, like if it's sch or if there'sa little puddle you're in, in the,
you're fine.
You're in the gym.
Yeah.
Okay.
But no, I know, it seemsto me like, you know.
(11:27):
Things just get bannedat school for no reason.
Yes.
Remember like the spinners werebanned and like That's right.
You know?
That's
right.
Like spaghetti straps werebanned when I was a kid.
Right.
So it's like, I'm sure theStanley Cups are getting banned.
I love how the grandma
recognizes, like that was the whole point.
She wanted to show off, go off, you know,classmates and now she can't even do that.
What's the point of that?
That's the clarity and theprivilege, uh, of being an A Grammy.
(11:50):
That's right.
Andy Williams used to talkabout that all the time.
It's like once you reach 60, youcan say whatever the fuck you want.
Right.
And the world has to justsit there and take it.
And Grammy is like, I'm calling bullshit.
I know that.
My little grand girls, yes.
They just wanna show off.
They wanna show off that theyhave it and they can't even do it.
I'm pissed certain off.
I'm still the grandma, so I'mgonna buy it for them, even
(12:11):
though I think it's ridiculous.
Exactly.
And my 9 99 1 has threedifferent lid options.
I mean, see, but even that detail iswhy this is pretty queenly because
it is a rant, but it's from sucha specific point of view that it's
really valuable to me because, but thenagain, I just appreciate the details.
Yeah.
(12:31):
Even when it's a one star and you'relike upset and you're disappointed in
the project, you're product, you're stillsaying like it has three different ways.
Like they're sort of sellingthe product in a way.
Um.
And mentioning like youcan get a cheaper version.
That's right.
But
I mean, I do think there'sa lot of value here.
I think that the spelling and grammaris really funny to me because we had
Stanley spelled right the whole time.
(12:53):
The for what?
And
that.
No, twice.
As soon as we started writing Stanley in,in caps, 'cause we were really getting
like Stanley, you know, like reallygetting, then we just, we took out the EE.
So that was the only real spelling error.
I think maybe there was one littletiny one other than that, but,
and I believe Carol.
Yeah.
(13:13):
Look, I, I don't think it's shady.
I think it's, I don't think it's shady
at all.
And I also think that I'm startingto get the idea of maybe it is
common in the sense that like wehave a, now we have a test group of
three Stanleys between the first.
Review and the two that grandma bought.
And I sort of believe that likeevery, like one out of three or like
(13:36):
whatever, your one out of howevermany bottles that are probably
sold are gonna eventually leak.
Okay.
So that, I mean, we're like so simpatico.
Yeah, because I was gonna say,what do you think statistically?
Like, is that just what you,we have to deal with like.
They vacuum sealed products Likeis every now and then are you?
I mean, I would hope not,
but it's like who knows?
(13:57):
Like maybe I always think like maybesomebody returned it 'cause they realized
it leaked and then it gets set back out.
I don't know.
Like there's gotta be something with thequality control is not a hundred percent.
It's so upsetting.
I know.
I mean, I just wish the granny had beenable to figure this out before two months.
'cause I think that's the wholepoint is like it lasted two months.
(14:19):
It was like so expensive.
And two months was outsideof the return window,
right?
I mean just the POV alone.
Yes.
And the self to declaring ofbeing a grandma to grand girls.
Yes.
Like it's very funny.
It's funny.
It's very entertaining.
Yes.
I instantly know Carol, but.
(14:39):
It is.
I don't know if it's a deal breaker forme, which I'll talk about in the Crown.
Okay.
Yeah.
Anything else for you?
I can crown Carol.
Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah.
All right.
So Chelsey and I each have our ownset of zero to five crown cards.
In an effort to be fair and notinfluenced by one another, we will
simultaneously reveal our ratings.
The Queens are Tabulating.
(15:03):
Okay, the queens are unanimous.
Four and a half crowns.
Four and a half crowns tray.
You go first buy four and ahalf crowns for Granny Carol.
35. 35. I don't know, like thispersonally, just in my point of view,
would not stop me from buying it.
Like I kind of do want to buy one still,
(15:25):
but I find.
It has a cautionary tale,I believe Grammy Carol.
I don't think they're being shady.
I think they're genuinelyfrustrated that like one was
defective, the other one wasn't.
It's very expensive.
My, it's for my little grand girl.
She can't show off.
Like, it's frustrating.
I get it.
I believe it.
Um, it's strong, you know,the, the typos unfortunate.
(15:49):
Um.
But anytime you're a Grammy andyou're leaving such detailed reviews,
like you just get props from me.
'cause like I don't understand TikTok.
So like, you know, this is a Grammythat's on Amazon leaving a really
solid review, four and a half.
Not totally reviewQueenie, but very close.
Why did you say four and a half?
I agree.
I have a very soft spotin my heart for Granny.
(16:11):
I just sort of like them.
I find them to be very genuine.
I can see other people, grandma's parents.
Uh, the ants getting in a similarsituation with a younger kid,
and I just, I, I really connectedwith the narrative, so I loved it.
The only reason I took off a half Crownpersonally was I wish I had known a
little bit more about how it was leaking,because if it is just like a leaking
(16:35):
from the straw, then I can be like, oh,I'll just buy one of those stoppers.
Um, if it's like perspiratingor something like that, then
that's a much bigger issue.
Wait, the stoppers totally just mademe re think of the Crocs guy that we
like talked about how the, whoeverwas the CEO or president or whatever
of Crocs joined Stanley, but thosestoppers look, look like those, they're
(16:57):
like the Gibbs, the Gbbt thingies.
They're very similar.
Oh God, you're
so right, Trey.
And that is such a brilliant marketingscheme because that's like a never ending
additional revenue genius.
Alright, well
here we are.
Yes, we have reached the end.
We have.
Looked at an insanely detailedfive star and part one.
Go back and watch if you haven't.
(17:19):
Now we have deduced this five starIGI gave both four and a half.
You gave four to the five starand four and a half to the five.
So I've sort of already saidI still want the Stanley like
yeah, I don't think kind of won though.
I think I still want it.
I don't think this, this one star.
Was really damning.
(17:39):
If anything, I think it really increasedthe brand awareness and how much
people love it and you wanna be ableto show it off and be that person.
So I don't think it did a a ton of harm.
I think that if I bought the StanleyCup, I would like put it through rigorous
testing within the return window tomake sure that it wasn't gonna leak.
(18:01):
And I think I owe that to Grannyand so I'm grateful that I read
that review, that one star review.
But I don't feel like it's a deal breaker.
No, I don't either.
I mean, Stanley comes
out on top.
Stanley comes out on top.
I mean, they really did.
I think the
4.7 overall sticks,
(18:21):
I think so.
90,000 reviews, so many reviews.
Um, also, I, I meant to say,but Chelsey shirt says Queen.
It doesn't say queer.
It's like the rainbowness is throwing me off.
Um.
Queen, queen, queen, queen.
But it'd be great if it's a queer as well.
That'd be fine with me.
Um,
(18:41):
all right, well, do you haveany, any last thoughts here?
Um, thirsty.
I think like I do, I'm thirsty andI feel like a little bit jealous
of people that I'm family, whichis a little bit, I don't know why.
Oh my God.
Also they have these really gorgeouslike shiny embossed limited edition
ones that are like $78 and theyhave like really beautiful detail.
(19:04):
Like I really want one.
I know
my niece has the one that has like thesnack tray and my mom bought her the snack
tray that goes on top for her gymnastics.
That is
so funny.
You can literally
put a whole snack tray on top of it.
It's crazy.
They, they, they've thought of everything.
I just bought this, so Yeah.
