Welcome to Beach to Sandy Water to Wet, a podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast, but I'd give it zero stars if I could. Ding dong, it's me. Yikes, what was that start? Yikes, that's not very nice. Welcome to Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet. yikes what was that start yikes that's not very nice welcome to beach too sandy water too wet i'm your host christine schieffer and i'm your other host zandy schieffer thank you for playing along i should have said who is it well but you wait didn't you say who it was immediately i don't even have a chance to really play along me again oh ding dong it's me again so uh is that how you ring people's doorbells yeah yep okay great well what do you what are you bringing to them when you ring the doorbell some caroling surprises oh give us an example so remember that time i talk about this on an
Starting point is 00:02:24 upcoming episode of and that's why i drink i talk about this on an upcoming episode of and that's why i drink surprise i'm also in an upcoming episode of and that's why i drink um i never thought i would say that and it'd be true be true that it's a surprise but uh i talked about it remember that time when i went christmas caroling with some people um in clifton and everybody ditched me at the door it's like a new level of ding dong ditch like we rang the doorbell and you're the only one there to sing yeah and my part was to sing ding dong in that one song carol of the bells and so elisa would be your part elisa told everyone to run away oh no so we rang the doorbell. Everyone rang away and I went, ding. Anyway, so that's what I do.
Starting point is 00:03:10 That's what I bring to the table. It's like those TikTokers who are doing dances, but then they leave their partners to dance alone. That's kind of it. It's a little triggering when I see those come up on my front page. I like when it's a bunch of like guys and they're going to be doing like a specific one move. Oh, 100%. But then everyone agrees not to do it, but one guy doesn't. And so he just looks completely... Well, I have a new TikTok trend, which is caroling with people and then leaving them behind because it was really embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'd say we should do that, but who would be our victim? Like nobody would be us. Who would we carol with? And why would we be caroling? And why would we ever subject ourselves to this? So we all do this and credit her with it. And just tag me in it. So anyway, today our theme is...
Starting point is 00:03:57 I don't even know. Aptly holiday themed. It is the Christmas tree farms. Oh, duh. You came up with it. I know, I did know. And fascinatingly, so not fascinating um we're going to buy a christmas tree later today yes so we'll have a picture to post on social media really weirdly good timing sort of like how we
Starting point is 00:04:15 went to subway after our subway episode just kidding we didn't do that i thought about it we might have to so for the last the episode we're recording this before our fun game fun game episode the subway versus subway episode so i feel like we need to go take a photo by a subway or something good point i'll buy the tuna sub just kidding i won't do that yeah please don't i'll buy the mots mots pot lots of Oh, gross. Yeah, so we'll figure that out. We'll figure it out. But today we're doing Christmas tree farms. I don't know where we're even going tonight, so I guess we'll just show up and it probably
Starting point is 00:04:53 won't be a farm. Hopefully not any of these. Hopefully not any of these. Wow, people had opinions. We got a ton of emails. I didn't look through any. I used a few of them. I didn't look at all of them, But thank you to everybody who sent them in.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Don't worry if you sent them in and we didn't look at it or use it. They're always in the running for between you and us. So they will not go to waste. You didn't use any? No. God, I feel like I'm such a, I don't know. I always use the emails. I was on a roll.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Great. But the thing is, what happens is I'll be doing all my research and then suddenly I'm done. I get to a point where I think, ready for some emails and i'm like oh shit i already have eight yeah i love it though because i log in in the middle of the night before we record and it's like 45 unread emails about christmas tree farms and you're like i'm done and i've just got free range yeah you're a new mother you can you deserve to take less time doing this stuff so thank you so much you are so i'm i am sacrificing myself although i'm gonna go first because i think i might actually have more than you let's do it okay um so this was sent in by
Starting point is 00:05:56 jess who uses she her pronouns and it's of wire w-e-i-r where where i don't know you tell me where where on first the where wire whatever it is tree farms it's probably weird oh i don't know i'm just saying because that's the one you didn't say so it's probably weird no you're probably right we're tree farms in cope we're tree farms in coldbrook new hampshire and this is a one-star review by Janine. Wondering how my debit card was used by this company
Starting point is 00:06:31 on July 28th, 2020 when I have never been there and they aren't even open right now. Oh, I'll get to the bottom of it. Christmas in July, am I right, folks? Yeah, so we start off with a conspiracy as just was there a response nope oh shit so that's oh oh i'll get to the bottom i oh i will don't you doubt it for
Starting point is 00:06:55 one second janine's on the case i hope janine did get to the bottom well janine never posted again so that sounded way more dramatic than i made it sound like she died i'm sorry well janine never posted it again don't say well janine never posted it again oh no oh my god who knows i bet jess knows knows something i bet jess does this is like when serial killers go and like join the hunt like the search. They show up to the funeral. Jess is basically that. Jess is at Janine's funeral. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I'm so sorry. Mad, though. No, Jess is mad because that means she can't use Janine's debit card anymore. Oh, F. Jess is like, oh, man, now no one will believe you're making these purchases. That's right, because we've all celebrated her life i'm gonna move on this is not a good start can you please um this is of mr green trees excellent one word uh west hollywood california oh dear god okay oh boy so yeah by christmas
Starting point is 00:08:01 tree farm i included just oh yeah those lots that sell Christmas trees. In like downtown Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah. Because I was texting Dee about it and she was like, yeah, we're always like a fake family tree. Fake tree family. Fake family tree. That took me a second. She did not say that.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I just don't know. I don't know how to put words together properly they were a fake tree family and i was like yeah we were the family that goes to the parking lot and just grabs one like i don't know i feel like because i say christmas tree farm i'm like i i never did that like never and there are probably plenty where you can go to and cut down your own christmas tree family went with a saw and like yeah blaze had to cut it down himself and i was like that sounds like torture sounds weirdly traumatic it does sound traumatic yes it does we definitely romanticize these christmas tree farms yeah we went to a church parking lot picked one now i think mom and tim go to menards like
Starting point is 00:09:03 we've really dropped the ball here um yeah didn't taylor swift grow up on a christmas tree farm or something i'll send her i mentioned that later oh sorry okay no no i'm just saying i'm glad you are bringing this up because it comes up later oh good i'm excited i love taylor swift um here is a review of mr. Green Trees in West Hollywood, a one-star review by Lionel. These people are crooks. They're laughing at all of you who do business with all the way to their offshore bank accounts. Please don't show your stupidity this year by shopping at Mr. Green Trees. End of review. Alexander, no. Mr. Green Trees has a Swiss bank account?
Starting point is 00:09:55 Yeah. Holy shit. Talk about a conspiracy. No, it's an offshore account. It's in... The Caymans? The Caymans. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I cannot believe mr green tree is putting people in this terrible situation taking advantage of all these hot shot celebrities i have to say i'm excited tonight um especially because i'm not getting one for myself to look at how much the when we go to the farm the farm aka the parking lot farm wink i'm excited to see the prices because after reading all these reviews i don't really know what a tree should be at well there's so much outrage over all the prices no matter what it is well i will tell you as the person who's purchased our christmas tree for the last however many years like you get it delivered
Starting point is 00:10:40 in los angeles i literally had someone deliver like christmas tree i am that stupid person who's being taken advantage of and being laughed at in switzerland i'm not the joy that tree brought though was worth the ten thousand dollars see i don't even know i have no actual doubt it was only nine i got it on sale. No, it was, okay, so I would get a six foot tree and the company was called Mr. Jingle, I think. Oh, no. It was something really wild, like Mr. Jingle. Mr. Green Trees was taken. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It was something equally dumb. And they would deliver it and this poor kid would come and just like hoist it, like drag a six foot tree through the front door. It was actually really easy. I just pointed and put it there. a six foot tree through the front door um it was actually really easy i just pointed and said put it there didn't even have to talk to the guy no i would tip him like 20 bucks and then he would leave but the tree itself was like a hundred some i mean it was expensive because it was also delivery yeah it was like a hundred some like i've i've already done research and spoiler for the qvc episodes uh the next week but i mean some of those trees are like eight hundred dollars yeah the fake ones are really expensive because
Starting point is 00:11:52 you're supposed to use them for like yeah yeah which it does make sense especially if they're lit up properly but not none of them were okay i'm gonna stop talking about next week's episode um but yeah so i was i have no idea the one we bought last year we bought a 10 foot tree because i just can't stop like making things more that is so extra complicated and extra every single year last year in ohio the 10 foot tree was like 60 bucks or something yeah like cheap that's nuts compared to what i've read yeah anywhere i went all over the country i hope i'm right i could be wrong about that we'll find out tonight um okay so this was sent in by erica and it's a bronze tree farm uh in ann arbor michigan and this is a one-star review by gabby first off showed up during what was supposed to
Starting point is 00:12:40 be open hours no one is there so we pull down a driveway and see if we can find someone. A car pulls up and we are like, hey, do you know if we can take photos and look around? The woman is very hostile and says, what are you doing here? We say we came for trees. She gets very agitated and starts telling us we need to leave and acting very dodgy. Meanwhile, a car has pulled up behind us and two more cars are on the road off the driveway watching us. We turn around and the lady drives off. The other car pulls up next to us and stares at us as we drive off. Once we are out of the drive, the other two cars pull off. Really creepy experience.
Starting point is 00:13:15 It felt like we entered some forbidden place. Very hostile vibes and really weird overall. End of review. You just interrupted a police sting. I know. Well, okay. I thought like, wow, this place sounds dodgy, like she said. But then she also said, we pulled up and said, can we take photos and look around?
Starting point is 00:13:32 Which also sounds dodgy to me. Like if you're going to a Christmas tree farm. This was a very, very much a theme was these photos. I think they were both suspicious of each other. There were so many people who, number one thing every place i went to if it had like 10 plus reviews there was always one mentioning something negative happening with photos because apparently it's a big thing for people to go to these farms just for the photos and not buy a christmas tree which seems it come on. Yeah. Because these farms are often also working farms.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I'll get to it too. There's more. And so it's like people will show up and be like, oh, I get to take photos here. And then you'll get the people who, to keep that from happening, they'll charge you to actually enter the farm and then charge you. And then everyone's pissed off that you have to pay to be there. Exactly. But some people literally bring a photographer.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yeah. And don't pay to be there. Exactly. But some people literally bring a photographer. Yeah. And don't pay to be there. Just bring a photographer to take family photos. And then leave negative reviews because they're like, we were definitely going to buy a tree. But after you approached us, we weren't. We're not going to do it because it was so rude. Yeah. And it's like, no, you were not.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You were there to take photos and you got caught. You got caught. This is like a theme. And I'm going to read one relevant. Here we go. This has a response from owner. So this is of Snow Valley Christmas tree farm in Duval, Washington. This is a one star review by Sarah.
Starting point is 00:14:59 This place is closed and the old man does not want anyone on their property. The Lorax? Rightax right speaks for the trees so gotta do what the old man says my parents were rudely chased off the property today with angry ranting the website says open at 1 p.m they did however find ronnie's off Old Rock Road is open and restore the spirit of Christmas. End of review. And here's the response. I apologize if I was rude, but the couple disregarded the multiple parking and closed signs, deliberately drove through the clearly blocked off driveway, and proceeded to drive past my barn and into my muddy backyard, creating huge ruts. They finally Oh my god, this car just like ricocheting through the property. Onto your driveway, and of course you're going to get freaking reamed out.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Into your backyard. Into the backyard. Likeo your driveway and of course you're going to get freaking reamed out. Into your backyard. Into the backyard. Like, it's nuts. That's pretty bad. People, the audacity of so many of these reviewers not respecting the fact that this is someone's property.
Starting point is 00:16:16 What we don't understand is they were just trying to chase down the magic of Christmas and everybody keeps stealing it away from them. Good thing Ronnie let them take as many photos or whatever as Ronnie, I don't know. Ronnie let them dig a giant trench in his backyard.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I love how in Sarah's review, the first line is like, the old man does not want anyone on their property. Yeah, God forbid. Why? He wanted us off his lawn. Because at the time of writing that review like these people all three people involved the parents and sarah all knew that they had driven onto close this person's property that's true when they weren't supposed to and they still get defensive and write a one-star review and then admit that they did something wrong but then are like you could have handled it better like no
Starting point is 00:17:01 you're on their property i don't know i feel bad for that guy i do too anyway leave the lorax alone he speaks for the trees um okay so this was sent by elizabeth she her and uh she says elveden estates is well known locally because they have a group of newfoundland dogs who will take your tree to your car for a donation oh my gosh isn't that fun? Yeah. She says animal welfare is taken very seriously in England, so the dogs and other animals at the Christmas fair are well cared for. P.S. Just for Zandy,
Starting point is 00:17:32 I attached some pics of the chonky hedgehog who lives in my yard. And you took that email away from me so I couldn't see it? Oxenar, you took it away from yourself by not looking at it by 4 a.m. when I looked at it. Oh, my bad.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Okay, so there were a couple reviews here here but this one was just the wildest so this is written by a reviewer who i'm gonna give their real name it's rajan singh s-i-i-n-g-h and it's a four-star review of elviden christmas tree farm has a really nice grave nearby with the body of maharaj dulip singh and oh so interesting potentially um somebody's been buried on the property interesting interesting uh with the same last name i guess so um interesting cool cool cool uh you know yeah um that is something you know what hey i i would see that as a positive um potentially depending on the person right above it says well organized so true i mean i it's either a cemetery or i wonder if any of the trees are those trees where people are like i I want to be a tree one day.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Aha, then you grow. I mean, I guess that happens anyway. If you're just buried in a field with trees, you'll probably become one of the trees, right? No? I don't think that's how that works. Oh, okay. I don't know much about tree growing. Don't you compost into the soil?
Starting point is 00:19:00 I mean, generally, if you're buried, you're in like a coffin. So not really. Not if you're buried on a Christmas like a coffin so not really like yeah buried on a christmas tree farm by a mysterious google user yeah okay true true just saying oh so now wait so we're not even sure if there's a cemetery there that's exactly my point oh dear god i didn't make that connection but they do have a photo of some new finland dogs carrying a casket for a prize jk jk um yeah i don't know if there's a cemetery or if there's just a grave we should look into missing persons like yeah if anyone knows of maharaj and or they could be yeah or not be let me know or not be oh my god god. Anyway, your turn. Wow, I have something, things very different from that.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Cool. This one is another, it's just another thing with an owner response. I have a few too of owner responses. This is of Trinity Tree Farm, but it's also used as a wedding venue. So here's a review. And I just, I want to get your thoughts on this one. Because, yeah, this is a one-star review by Denise. We went here for a wedding.
Starting point is 00:20:08 The venue is beautiful. The food and service was not the best. It is a very small indoor venue for a wedding. The bartenders were light on their pours with a small menu of items to choose from. The food was also a low of the night. End of review. So. That is.
Starting point is 00:20:24 How messed up is that right you go to a wedding and you leave a review of the venue shitting on like insulting the wedding the wedding yeah and i would be so hurt if somebody did that right that's what i thought and the worst part is the venue responded and said we're not in charge of any food we don't do any of the food we're a christmas tree farm yeah it's like that that is just that is something that the the actual um that's really sad so this person gave this wedding not even the venue because they said it's a lovely venue it's gave the wedding a one star that's so mean why would you do that i feel like what's the point of reviewing a wedding on the internet like nothing good can come of that i don't know i don't understand it's just
Starting point is 00:21:12 not couldn't you imagine like you go home after a wedding and your first thought is man that food i gotta go write a review about this like what and expect someone to do something about it so wild to me if somebody reviewed the transept and said christine's wedding was shitty and the bartender sucked i'd be like totally beside myself but even if that were true which it wasn't by the way it was everything was perfect well we all got way too drunk so i don't remember any of it not light yeah the pores were not light but i my first thought wouldn't be like oh this venue made the food you know i wouldn't my first thought would never be that it's the venue has a shitty taste i would weirdly blame
Starting point is 00:21:51 you but like also would be like but it's her wedding it's her thing i don't feel like traditionally complaining about a wedding is what you do in the car with your partner on the way home exactly not just like tell the poor christmas tree farm about it all right i have uh an email here from alexis she who says, being a fellow Ohioan, I knew I had to check out the Christmas tree farms in Ohio. And wow, did I find one. It's called Mr. Tree Farm. Not Mr. Green Tree. Don't get it confused. In Black Lick, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Which I don't know where that is. So this is a review of Mr. Tree Farm. And this owner responds with very long sagas to everything um so this was written by chris it's a one-star review staff was extremely rude trees are way overpriced owner is insane shrug emoji response from owner oh my staff is not rude none of them you just didn't like our prices so you want to rain nuclear winter about our operation what we know which person you were yesterday you grumbled and moaned you never spoke with me just barked about our prices four other customers laughed as you
Starting point is 00:23:01 left you impressed no one nor did anyone care then as they do not now. We are having a record season. You do not matter. Oh my god. Alas, our farm is not for everyone, nor do we try to pretend we are. We enjoy wide support among our strong customer base that returns year after year, and thankfully they spend no time and or ignore this forum as it is trolled by losers who have nothing to do with the mr tree farm merry christmas in the response okay maybe a little much but i overall like the energy defending their employees
Starting point is 00:23:38 and defending their business in every response and it like is honestly i love it yeah and uh it's he basically i've learned that he was a practicing attorney for seven years then he left to become a christmas tree farmer owner operator i don't know for like the last 35 years so he doesn't fuck around he's like i have a law degree and i've been doing this for 35 years like nothing you say phases me and stop insulting my employees it's actually pretty no i like that because i think that the this type of review deserves this type of response just to be like you're insane like that's not like if you have constructive feedback and then yeah the owner
Starting point is 00:24:15 responds that way i'd that's not okay but man this was nice yeah you do not matter you do not matter that's like the word and like no one like no one cared about like when they left. Everyone laughed at you. That cuts deep for a freaking Yelp reviewer. Yes. If a lawyer ever told me I don't matter and everyone laughed at me, I would just like Renee, if you want to know how to ruin my life, that's how. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Sorry. That was a little dramatic's how. Oh, God. Sorry, that was a little dramatic. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Here come the carrots making their way upfield, followed by the whole wheat bread, over to the two dozen eggs. Sir, do you do this every time? Sorry, I've been a little excited ever since I got this BMO Toronto FC Cashback Mastercard.

Make every purchase a win with the BMO Toronto FC Cashback Mastercard with up to 5% cashback on your purchases in your first three months. Terms and conditions apply. in your first three months.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Terms and conditions apply. Here's another similar one with an owner response of like, there's a situation, then the owner clears things up, I think. This is of Owosso Christmas Tree and Berry Farm in Owosso, Oklahoma. This is a one-star review by Trish. Me and my family were treated awful at this farm. The older gentleman was so rude and disrespectful, we didn't even get to take pictures because he told us we needed a permit.
Starting point is 00:25:56 It would be $100. Great, let's get one. Decided that since we weren't going to use it like that, so we wouldn't need it. So as we decided to leave, he came up upset because he thought we had taken pictures. We told him we didn't get a chance to take any. We even showed him our camera roll. He didn't want to see it. He goes behind the car and writes down the license plate number.
Starting point is 00:26:20 We asked him why, and he said it was his business. He also stated that we were trespassing on private property. But there were no signs posted up. This was our first time ever here. Definitely should treat people better that have drove 16 hours that want to come to support your business. I'm not sure who the gentleman was, but he was very unprofessional and rude. I would never recommend anyone to come here. I would give this place zero stars if I could. He was more concerned about us making money off pictures he thought we took. Just terrible experience overall. Okay, listen.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I know you're about to read a response, but like, we drove 16 hours to support your small business by not paying to take photos? You were going to go to take free photos. It's like those people who say like, oh, you'll get like, quote unquote, influencers who are like, oh, I want this thing for free because I'll give you publicity. Or what are they called? I'll give you press or publicity. And it's like, that doesn't pay the rent. I have this many followers. Yeah. It's like so entitled.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And here is a little bit more info. Okay. Hi, Trish. We're sorry you had a bad experience at our farm. We've taken your situation into careful consideration and discussed the situation among our family. We believe there has been a misunderstanding. The farm is currently closed to the public other than prepaid professional photographers who have a permit. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:27:38 You know, right? This is somebody's backyard. Yeah, it's not even like Christmas tree season. No, you're literally in someone's yard. Yeah. This is stated on our social platforms google facebook instagram and our website photography rules are viewable here link to the photography rules there was no communication as to why you were on the farm prior to being questioned by the owner this is a full-time
Starting point is 00:27:59 operating farm the only times we are open to the public is during the christmas season and the berry season if you were to come is during the christmas season and the berry season if you were to come out during the christmas season you would have had a different experience the farm family so this was just a diff like some random month of the year that they just drove 16 hours uh-huh and supposedly drove 16 allegedly and also to support they drove that long to support the business but didn't even bother looking up their website or any of their photography rules. Yeah, and that's shady because if it's on Google, that means you would have used Google Maps. And you're telling me you drove 16 hours without Google Maps to get to this place?
Starting point is 00:28:34 That's so bullshit. Somehow I doubt it. Yeah, it's just so, it wasn't, the best part, it wasn't even like Christmas tree season. Or berry season. Or berry season. There were two potential seasons and they missed both of those there's a 50 50 chance you could have shown up to how that works and not gotten yelled at honestly is that how that works yes okay uh okay i have a review here this is sent in by mia whose pronouns are she slash shrenda excuse me she wrote
Starting point is 00:29:07 which i really appreciate i remembered it but she wrote shrenda that was a callback to your pizza episode in case you forgot which i love that she's like i know you have no idea what i'm doing here yeah and also if anyone like would comment on our instagram like what was that a reference to we would have not have known idk but yeah mia says it was from the pizza episode if you want to go listen to it i think it was called pizza parlors i forget where though um okay yeah no fucking idea i can't tell you what number it was uh so she says it's from tiny acres in fortville indiana and she wrote which is somewhat near your Indianapolis.
Starting point is 00:29:46 And then like sent a follow up email saying not your Indianapolis and said it's all of our Indianapolis. I saw the follow up email on my phone. I was like, what is that about? I did too. And I was like, this seems like something I need to look at. Not your Indianapolis. I'm like, what? It's all of our Indianapolis.
Starting point is 00:30:02 That's hilarious. like what it's all of our indianapolis uh so she says most of this place's reviews center around cracked tree trunks and lack of chainsaws but laney here has other issues so this is one star by laney i've never i didn't see any of those lack of chainsaw yeah that's wild me neither it's not byoc i'm so confused uh it's it'sY-O-C, which is why they don't have any. Oh, that's the problem. I see. Okay. Lainey says, this place is not good.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Everything is overpriced. And not to mention, they hire 12-year-olds. That's not even legal. Oh, and they paid me under minimum wage. Oh, shit. You're one of them. It's like, how do you know this? Oh, no. I know. The twist. The twist. minimum wage oh oh shit you're one of them it's like how do you know this oh no the twist the
Starting point is 00:30:47 twist oh and they paid me under minimum wage i only got four dollars an hour not to mention they had me working nine hours as a 13 year old end of review it's just like their parents or is this another conspiracy like that seems shady yes and shitty it does uh if it's true yes if it's not an exaggeration yes it does seem shady unless this is like your mom this is so random and you're like yeah then child labor's okay you're right you can yeah at least in our family just kidding we didn't do jack shit we didn't even do laundry was this taylor swift oh this was taylor swift yeah taylor famously grew up in indiana okay my next one is a four four c choose and cut christmas whoa whoa this is in wichita kansas one star by bill there was no experience seeing how there was no website.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Your lack thereof is definitely costing you a ton of business. End of review. That's it. Oh, no. So they literally, that's sad. They just don't have a website, so they got shit on by Bill. I feel like, well. No, because this is a major conglomerate.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah, what's it called? 4C Choose and Cut Christmas a major conglomerate yeah what's it called for c choose and cut christmas i think that's where we're going tonight actually for the parking lot trees oh it's temporarily closed maybe it'll open like maybe it just hasn't opened that's what happens when you don't have a website they have a facebook group or facebook page page they do it's this is so mean let me see it's an angel fire no it's 4c christmas tree far dot wix site dot com slash trees I don't understand what that person's complaining about that's perfectly easy to find on the internet it didn't even it's it's 4c christmas tree far not farm oh no oh no but yeah they have their info so they do have a site it's just misspelled it looks like they're open the opening day of sale is friday november 26th okay so let's go everybody it's up to date yeah 10 a.m to dark you can't expect every single business under the sun to have a website
Starting point is 00:33:06 especially if it's like i don't know but these actually they actually do now this was the review was six years ago so i assume maybe that they just actually didn't back then so this person through their tears signed up on wix site and didn't spell farm correctly it must have been what happened that must be it okay so here's the Taylor Swift thing. Yay, I'm ready. So Carla wrote in, she her, and said, Dear ex-SIBs, heard your theme and had brilliant idea of finding reviews of the Taylor Swift song but found nothing funny.
Starting point is 00:33:35 At least found out that it's not the mournful song I previously assumed. I thought it was, my heart is like a Christmas tree farm, meaning something that's basically hacked out with axes. dear god but no parentheses something to take to therapy perhaps yeah maybe carla's just like oh no like thinking aloud here for all of us for all of our entertainment uh she says it's in my heart is a christmas tree farm and it's all sweet nostalgic with her childhood memories of living at one anyway so looked elsewhere and found a few Yuletide Google joys so Yuletide Google joys that's my favorite kind of Google joy um this is a review my favorite Yuletide it's a very Yuletide joy this is a review of Christmas tree farm in Bromley farmsms in the UK, I believe.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Okay, I have two here. I think these are of the same place. Okay. This is one star by The Weasel Dog. Trip advisor. Thank goodness. Rude, nasty owner of this farm. The owner of this farm made my five-year-old little girl cry.
Starting point is 00:34:46 She was holding a chicken very gently oh dear this is not good like people are too entitled you can't just go hold someone's chicken if you know what i mean if i if i had chickens which is a dream of mine i would love chickens i the last thing i would want is for anyone a five-year-old to hold it yeah tell leona to stay the fuck away from my chickens in five years no leona will be allowed because leona will be it's not a stranger yes and she would never yeah i say she would never yeah literally watch out six weeks old i just know that about her you know you like look at a person and you're like i know that about you yeah she was holding a chicken very gently it did not mind at all and was very content
Starting point is 00:35:31 in her arms it wasn't moving no that was i'm just kidding i'm sorry that's not funny it was very content in her arms the owner came over and without any word to myself or my wife, snatched the chicken from her saying, I'll have that. Okay, so far that seems like a very reasonable thing. I'm going to take that away from you, small child. He made no attempt to apologize to a crying little girl. A normal human being would have had a quick polite word with myself and the whole situation could have been avoided. Not this individual. he decided to upset a whole family this man is socially inept end of review sounds like someone who pets service dogs yes it's like very the puppy didn't mind at all like oh my god granted service dogs have vests that say do not touch so like that's even worse and like also
Starting point is 00:36:21 arguably worse i don't know but you're on someone's property and you're you're allowing your five-year-old to grab their chickens like yeah animals that that live on their property okay so that's it your turn chicken chicken poor chicken i want chickens okay i want a goat oh me too let's get a farm in Kentucky. Okay. I really want one. Anyway, here's a review of Sorghum Mill Christmas Tree. I believe it's of a farm. Is this another one? It's not just a singular tree.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Like Joshua Tree? Yes, sure. This is in Edmond, Oklahoma, and this is a review by edmond did you know joshua tree is also byoc oh no i'm pretty sure that's a felony like literally a national park yeah probably those trees are protected or something i tell you renee and i went to joshua tree and i chainsaw and i thought joshua tree was one tree oh no i'm like really the dumbest person alive i mean it's not that i mean it is weird kind of like you'd say like the redwood forest or redwood like you would say plural or something like a group by the
Starting point is 00:37:40 singular tree that's true i thought it was like a burning man where it was like one tree on fire yeah no no it's many joshua trees in the desert i see i learned that very quick that's a good point i was like renee which one is joshua tree and she's like i'm not sure like we were like literally didn't know what was going on oh no anyway your turn okay um so this one is a little different um this one i'm not trying to make fun of this reviewer what i assume happened is they put something into google translate they're like probably english is probably not their first language so they probably use google translate to try instead of just posting in their native language and then allowing people to like auto translate like it does i think that's what they did because i read this and my brain was like what the fuck
Starting point is 00:38:33 am i reading and there's some things in there that i was like cracking up at um so yeah it's not funny because this is it's just funny because i think this is google translate being really bad okay love it so yeah here we go this is edmund's review one star what if it's not though it would be even funnier if it were just and i just feel like an asshole no but what if it's just somebody this is how their brain works well okay just wait to listen to it you're right uh here we go not really impressed no even close not a bit even little bit of empathy. Oh, God. I know, it's not. That's harsh.
Starting point is 00:39:08 We, we're family and I at the wrong place. A, the wrong time in the special time of year. They let us walk their land. Very seasoned, by the way. That's very seasoned. Okay, you know what the other thought is that an AI wrote this or something. Yeah, it could also, it does feel a little bit like it just picked keywords. It seems weirdly fishy,
Starting point is 00:39:25 like strangely worded, but here we go. They let us walk their land. Everything was okay until people in golf cars were behind us. Everyone, in fact. Like, please choose one. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:39:37 We felt like they were forcing us to pick a tree and quick. Is no required to be expert in psychology body language to understand behavior of course when we didn't like the environment we headed towards the main entrance and have no way to describe the people who didn't buy nothing felt oh my god i understand they only got 30 days a year to dispatch and sold out the inventory but they choose the wrong the very wrong one among others oh i'm not going
Starting point is 00:40:06 back even if i was granted certificate of never die by them a surely choose to die end of oh my god okay that was i mainly picked it for that very dramatic ending well and also the golf carts surrounding i know it's intense this review it's some of these reviews are like really scary like there's graves there's like people on like park next to the road watching you talking about some sort of like certificate of immortality that you will never die like that's why i'm it made me think it's like some sort of google translate um or someone's using like google translate to write this because it's like granted a certificate of never die like i could imagine that being like a phrase in another
Starting point is 00:40:50 language right where they're like even if they had like the secret to it like immortality i still wouldn't go or something like that like i could see that being spain yes i don't know even if this christmas tree has the the secret to immortality the fountain of youth and it's saying and it sounds so dramatic say you'd surely rather die yeah yes then to be fair that is an english saying i'd rather die than come back to this place but yeah you're right that's not quite what it says but also like we were being forced by this like and they said we were surrounded by golf carts everyone was in a golf cart it's like holy shit how many this is all very scary i don't know it's all very scary
Starting point is 00:41:31 real scared late at night you don't have to be a expert in psychology to understand that these people these angry people in golf carts wanted us to leave well yeah oh my god all right um so i have another review here of the christmas tree farm in bromley farms and it is a one-star review by tia and it has an owner response drove one hour to get there when i got to till to pay as i was touching my card another man came and snatched the machine and walked away no apology there's not a lot of animals all there was was llamas chicken horse and a pig not sure wait what is this place this is a zoo is it like a petting zoo christmas tree farm i guess i don't know because you're right the other this is the same place where she was holding? It's like a petting zoo at Christmas Tree Farm, I guess. I don't know. Because you're right.
Starting point is 00:42:27 This was the same place where she was holding chicken. There's not a lot of animals. All there was was llamas, chicken, horse, and a pig. Not sure why it's called Christmas Tree Farm, too. We finished the farm in 15 minutes, then kids were bored. Now here's the response from owner. Thank you for your review. Sorry you experienced a waste of time. We only have one card machine, so we have to use that quickly.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Don't recall anyone snatching it away. As for the animals, we have more animals than most farms. Three llamas, two alpacas, two cows, 11 ponies, two donkeys, 75 goats, 70 sheep, all sorts of chickens and ducks, rabbits and pigs. What the fuck? But don't hold them or we will take them back how do you feel like there are not that many animals here but there are 70 sheep and 75 goats what the fuck if a place had three llamas i'd be like there are too many animals here for my comfort level i'm surrounded uh what is r? Because it also says they have four of those.
Starting point is 00:43:27 I don't know. Like four wives all with the same name? We have four sister wives as well. We are called Christmas Tree Farm because it used to be a Christmas tree farm. We have many visitors who spend two hours with the animals. Perhaps farms are not for you. You obviously, by the sound of it, visited on the hottest day of the year which what okay sorry i just i realized it why is this called
Starting point is 00:43:51 a christmas tree farm as you visit like during the summer it was literally said august 2020 yeah uh um let's see i found what a ray is they is it they're like they look like ostriches but they're like south american ostriches okay i mean this is like outside of london i think but you know whatever they're really yeah they're native to south america distantly related to the ostrich and emu oh my okay do they spit or that's llamas i was like ias. I don't think that's a thing here. Wrong animal. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Perhaps farms are not for you. You obviously, by the sound of it, visited on the hottest day of the year. And if the animals do not want to come out of the shade, then I am sorry, but the animals can do what they like. Sorry you were disappointed. I suggest maybe going to Spec savers instead of a day out spec savers is like lens crafters i looked that's such a good insult such a good burn like that is so maybe you should go to lens crafters next time oh my god and check yourself i was uh up at 4 30 with my child and i googled spec savers and I saw like equivalent to lens crafters and I laughed so hard.
Starting point is 00:45:10 I was like this owner who's like the animals can do what they want. Yeah. And also get your eyes checked. Wow. And also I'm going to list for you every type of species on this on this farm. 75 goats. That was a lot. Yeah. That's a good owner response i love it okay i've got one more negative before uh quote kind of redemption uh this is an old
Starting point is 00:45:40 time christmas tree farm in spring texas This is a one-star review by Tamara. First time here, last time as well. Can't believe they charged us $4 for a tiny pumpkin, LOL. Walmart has bigger pumpkins for $2 to $3. Can you believe that? Old McDonald's Farm would never wish i could give zero stars end of review oh my god yeah but um i thought so old mcdonald's farm is a farm a local farm oh okay i was like wow i i may or may not have left out two words because i just thought
Starting point is 00:46:21 it was really funny it's actually old mcdonald's farm in humble which is a city in texas would never but i thought it would be funny to leave it as old mcdonald's farm would never as if that's like a thing because i first read it that way and i was losing it and i was like oh wait let me google this but to be to be referencing walmart and old mcdonald and saying like i know how farms work because i frequent walmart and i know all the pricing of their produce honestly honestly fuck you person i'm sorry i just like that really irritates me you let it out four dollars yeah at old time christmas farm and you're like it's people are so much cheaper why are you not at walmart go to fucking walmart like that pisses me it is really fucked up to be like you should be
Starting point is 00:47:12 competitive with walmart prices that is literally impossible and that's the point of walmart's prices is so that you places like this cannot be. That's why they put it so... Oh, my God. It is really annoying. That really irks me. I'm sorry. Okay. What an asshole. I hope they go to McDonald's Farm and... I want Old McDonald's Farm to reach out to that person and say,
Starting point is 00:47:38 Nope, we charge the same thing. We charge $4.50. Stay off our farm. Stay off Old McDonald's Farm. Go to your timely manor inside walmart and stay there yes some of those have lens crafters in them that's right or do they have america's best which i think is the other name for i have no fucking clue forget it i have a sunglass hut too some of them have subways yeah true probably those were always the subways that had like the pizza
Starting point is 00:48:02 and stuff you know what i mean no i'd go to like a normal subway and I wouldn't see it. But then you'd go to like a Walmart subway and it'd be like advertising their pizzas. This might shock you, but I've never been inside a subway at a Walmart. Really? Yes, really. That does shock me. I've been to many in my years. Yeah, not recently.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I've only been to Walmart in general like three times in my life. What? Where were you going to Walmart? We never went to Walmart growing up. Christina, where do you think my friends and I went? We had nothing to do after midnight. I thought you went to Old McDonald's Farm. It's the only thing open after 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:48:32 We went to IHOP and Walmart. That's it. I guess it was, I guess I don't have friends. I don't know if that's true, if that's the reason here. Renee and I just went to like Brugger's Bagels and ate candy in the parking lot. Brugger's Bagels isn't open 24 hours. I said in the parking lot. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Yeah, I know. Let's not talk about it. Okay. Christmas Tree Farms. This is from Melissa who says, didn't think I'd be able to find anything good around here, but I was wrong. I didn't think you'd find anything good either. Well, he said that all day and I was like, Melissa will prove herself to you enjoy this review from the fish river tree farms in summerdale alabama
Starting point is 00:49:09 two stars by tana it was our first visit overall we liked the place however my three years old child got hit by a saw you did find a good one. Holy shit. Oh, no. My three-year-old child got hit by a saw, not among the trees. Apparently, they have no rules and restrictions on how and where to use their saw. This man, a customer in his 60s, was walking around with a saw on his hand and a camera on the other hand around tons of kids where they have a bounce house pony and camel rides and photos with santa several kids were running around and this man walking with a saw hit my daughter's forehead with the saw the lady in the office took our phone number stating that her parents are the owners and they will slash might call us it never happened end of review so b-y-o-s
Starting point is 00:50:02 bring your own saw oh dear god taking a little at least it wasn't a running chainsaw that's fair at least it was not a chainsaw um to be carrying a saw around a bouncy house in general seems dangerous but around children i don't know that sounds like a recipe for hijinks oh right like that seems fine not like in it but like on the outside, like popping it like, oh, no. Got you, kids. Like that's a hijack. You're all going to hit the ground now. Stick in the pin in a bouncy house.
Starting point is 00:50:30 It slowly. It doesn't like explode. Just deflates. And then it was like sad. And then they're trapped inside. But it's not that dangerous. Can you imagine you're like a dad at a thing and you're just swinging a saw and you hit a child in the face? I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:50:45 That's really worst case scenario. What about if you hit one of those slides, those blow up slides that are shaped like the Titanic or shaped like a boat? Isn't that kind of fucked up, actually? Wait, what? Have you seen those? No. It's like those slides and you can like crawl up.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Are they inflatable? Yeah, inflatable slides, but they're like in the shape of a ship. Sinking? Yeah, well, I mean, it's only half of it. Oh my God. I'm like, yeah, I found it. It is for $10,000. You can own a 33 foot Titanic Adventure dual slide.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Titanic Adventure? Yeah, and it's literally, here we go. I'm sending it to you. It is literally the Titanic sinking and it's a slide oh my god so anyway um i like this man this man in cargo shorts and a tie-dye t-shirt at the bottom the the model for my bounce house..com. The model. Wow. Oh, sorry. Mybouncehouseforsale.com. Yeah. No, it's legitimately a freaking inflatable sinking Titanic slide.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Like it's going into the water. That's really effed up, dude. Anyway, so what about holding a saw by one of those? You're probably saving everybody. True. You know? True. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Or just ending their misery quicker dear god sorry i'm sorry i don't know i don't know i it is disturbing that this child got hit by a saw that's all yeah probably shouldn't have that happen no no uh bad bad bad look okay my last one this is of elves christmas tree farm i'm calling it a redemption it's three stars uh this by kyle lower your expectations and you'll have a great experience the trees available to cut resemble the sad one from a charlie brown christmas end of oh no yeah i love that tree though so yeah that's why i think it's kind of everybody loves that tree they said like if you have those expectations like hey you're good somebody said like if you have those expectations, like, hey, you're good. Somebody said they charged $45 for those Christmas, for those Charlie Brown trees.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And I was like, that seems like kind of defeating the purpose of the Charlie Brown tree. But I respect what you're trying to do here. Okay. I love it. Well, I have one here. This was sent in by Stephanie. And it's a review of Taft farms in barrington massachusetts and a one-star review it's a one-star review by nancy a filthy place with dirty secrets
Starting point is 00:53:13 no wow where is this uh in barrington massachusetts okay i kind of want to check it out now there's the graves i'm telling you something dark is happening at these tree farms. Seedy underbelly. Seedy underbelly of Mr. Jingle or whatever his name is. Oh, no. I do not want to go near Mr. Jingle's underbelly. No, I don't either. Here's another one.
Starting point is 00:53:38 That was your last one, right? Yeah. Okay. Here's another one from Stephanie of North Pole Xmas Trees in Lowell, Massachusetts. One star by Lindsay Pasta Miller. Sorry. This is a response. I hope that's a self-given middle name.
Starting point is 00:54:00 You actually might get more clarity than you think. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, because there's a response from owner. One star. The seller had no mask on. My partner and I tried to keep our distance with our masks on. I don't know if the seller is asymptomatic with COVID-19. This action was most risky either of us has taken during entire pandemic.
Starting point is 00:54:19 We both are high risk and I'll be anxious for two weeks hoping I didn't risk our lives for a tree bought outside. We both are high risk and I'll be anxious for two weeks hoping I didn't risk our lives for a tree bought outside. Don't all businesses require mask wearing by law with customers even outside in Massachusetts? COVID-19 is airborne. Response from the owner. This is totally untrue and a complete bullshit review from a certified crazy person. Google her name. She fought the state of Massachusetts to wear a pasta bowl on her head. Is this a pasta-farian?
Starting point is 00:54:51 The fuck? Yes. Okay. Is that the thing of the... Flying Spaghetti Monster. Yes. Yeah. She fought the state of Massachusetts to wear a pasta bowl on her head in a driver's license photo.
Starting point is 00:55:06 She also claims to be a follower of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We follow strict COVID policies as recommended by state, local, and national Christmas Tree Association guidelines. It is unfair that a crackpot loser like this has a forum to make hateful and hurtful untruths. End of response. Oh my god. Wowza. That end of response oh my god that got personal wowza that got personal that got attack her religion and everything well that's the thing could you imagine if it was like flipped and someone was saying that about any other religion yes no i cannot um yeah i don't know what to make of any of this but i love that the owner's first
Starting point is 00:55:42 first uh instinct was to google their name yeah i know they like it's like when you see a reddit comment and like someone disagrees with it so they go through the person's entire history and like make fun of them through it which is like i don't know then it's like once that's happening neither side is gonna win no it's just like that's when things have gone too far yeah um and And then finally, another owner response. God, I mean, Stephanie found some really good ones. That's impressive. Right?
Starting point is 00:56:13 This is a third one that I'm going to read. Of Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm in Stowe, Massachusetts. It's a one-star review by Allison. Went there a few weekends ago inmber to snap a few pictures for baby announcement mark came over to us and was aggressive saying someone paid to have the whole farm for the day we had stated that we had no idea there was nothing on the website indicating that he said for 30 we could stay for a half hour and take pictures he was very rude and aggressive i will never do business with this place we went to a place in marlborough where
Starting point is 00:56:42 they had props set up and the owner was amazing response from owner our farm was rented for the day by a professional photographer who had contacted us beforehand as is clearly indicated on our website in numerous places and booked and paid for her time and her clients were to have the farm to themselves accordingly you showed up to do your shoot without any courtesy didn't ask permission but rather just drove into our driveway did your thing and then planned to drive off when we were clearly working in the back. You and your client had every opportunity to approach us beforehand, but rather purposely avoided us. I approached you about this and you had the gall to act surprised. That is rude, Allison. You should know you can't go onto someone's property without asking. Shame on you. And then you post a nasty review, as if you were
Starting point is 00:57:24 even supposed to be here in the first place post a nasty review as if you were even supposed to be here in the first place which you are not you were not supposed to be here allison and then you give our awesome farm a nasty review bad bad bad allison oh my god i loved this loved this response it was so like oh my god bad. Bad, bad, bad, Allison. I mean, it's like all the stuff you want to say to these people. I forgot to tell you, Allison's a dog. I mean. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Holy shit. And I have one more. Sorry it's so long. But I love how it's like all laid out there. It's like, yes, like clearly this person is not in the right. No, I mean, like you avoided us on purpose because you saw us working in the background. I mean, shady. All right on purpose because you saw us working in the background. I mean, shady. All right.
Starting point is 00:58:08 I have one more negative one. This was sent in by Rochelle and it's of Nordstrom's Xmas Tree Farm. It's a two star review by Marie. And it also has a response from her. We purchased a tree in 2018 and we're happy with it. We booked a day slash time for our family pictures with our photographer in 2020 i loved the photos i saw online with the cute antique trucks etc however i did not realize the actual tree farm was literally baby trees this year we had to crouch down to try and recreate the image of taller trees there was also a black
Starting point is 00:58:42 cat that followed us all around and basically photo-bombed several handfuls of our shots. While our photographer thought it was so cute and candid, we are not cat people and when she asked our son to pet the cat, it was clearly not friendly. I would not recommend paying to have your family photos taken here unless you want a faux-friendly cat following you around and love the look of short trees in your photos. Rude. That poor kitty. I know and so now here's short trees in your photos. Rude. That poor kitty. I know.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And so now here's the response. Oh, good. Hi, Marie. Sorry to hear about your experience with a family photo shoot. We have some taller trees still in the middle end of the field, but we did indeed sell a lot of trees this year. Everything will be 12 to 18 inches taller or more next year as the tree growth cycle continues. Sorry to hear about the cat as well.
Starting point is 00:59:24 They usually stay to themselves but live at the farm wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season oh um i just love the imagery of these short ass trees and the family crouching to recreate the image of tall trees pretending like they're tall and then a cat ruining the perspective because the cat saunters on. The cat looks giant. Yeah, right. The cat just looks like it's like, oh my God. Also, I love, it's so sad that the cat fully knows they're not cat people and is like,
Starting point is 00:59:56 I'm going to bother this family now. They don't want me here. Now I have one more, Zandy, and it's a redemption. So this was sent in by kristin she her and uh she wrote hi she furs get it like christmas trees oh fur fir yeah i thought that was pretty fun cute so kristin says my hometown christmas tree farm is adorable and i've been making the trip almost every year since the end of college so this is of sylvieville pumpkin and christmas tree farm in dixon california and kristin wrote i don't know whether to laugh to cry tears of joy or to cry tears of sadness
Starting point is 01:00:29 so no i also went through a roller coaster on this so you tell me what you think it has a review and then an updated review so i'll read the original first this was over six years ago i love this place my boys and i have been making the trip every year for the last 10 years the sleigh ride This was over six years ago. for Christmas. Every year I buy a butterfly and have it written on and they decorate my windows year round. You can choose to visit and spend money or not and still have a wonderful day. Here's the update five years ago. Okay I was gonna say so for not much of a roller coaster. No very pleasant. Five years ago updated. Still five stars. Best part of getting ready for Christmas yearly is our trip to the farm. As soon as we arrive, it's almost magical. This year, thanks to an avalanche of negativeness, just my oldest and I could go. Before my last marriage, we have discussed doing our wedding here, so it was more than painful returning. I was broke this year. No money for my usual trip
Starting point is 01:01:41 to get our butterfly. I was trying to figure out if they would still have this cute stuffed dick at Halloween. Okay. What? Yeah. It's meant to say duck. Okay. Because at first I read that three times and went, I'm missing something. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:56 But later they say duck and I put two and two together. I was trying to figure out if they would still have this cute stuffed duck at Halloween when one of the girls gave my son a small sugar tube to fill up knowing I didn't have the money. Jerry, the owner, was there and I caught her up after she asked about my youngest. The next minute she was giving us a free sleigh ride, a darling tree Tony was to pick out, an AV ride, and my duck. These are the type of people that own and run the farm. Caring, sweet, and connected to the concern and the whole place is magical. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I've got goosebumps. I know. It's like so touching, but also like really sad, but also like really sweet. She's like, I couldn't buy my yearly butterfly. That's so sad. But she got her duck. Yeah. And I'm pleased about that.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Me too. And it wasn't a dick and I'm pleased about that. Yeah, I'm very pleased about not getting a stuffed dick. So that's that um thank you to everybody who sent stuff in even if i didn't get to it but wow that was you guys found some really wild reviews and alexander also found christmas tree farms i think was just a gold mine yeah it worked out i like that that was fun pick for for this i'm glad i'm glad um yeah so i guess welcome to december and then next week's episode is what again qvc yes qvc which i wonder because people are emailing those in yeah but i worry that we're gonna see each other yeah we'll figure it out there are a
Starting point is 01:03:21 lot of i already did a lot of research there are a lot of there are a lot of things options yeah okay um yeah but maybe we should give a theme and challenge for the next couple i mean maybe okay i have a theme for us to do okay uh our next theme so this is coming out on the 15th right i believe yep that's right is not christmas meaning holiday not christmas but still but but holidays got it because you know the holidays are very much dominated often especially people types of reviewers well jesus is the reason for the season exactly right so we want to step away from that part of the holiday and from june we want to take a step away from jesus and do holidays okay i love that i think that's a very good idea because you're right we get easily sucked into like christmas stuff for obvious reasons um but it's also very materialistic
Starting point is 01:04:19 holiday i'm not clear so it's all there's so much to review there's so many auto items so much so many products and so many things so yeah i think it'd be much to review there's so many auto items so much so many products and so many things so yeah i think it'd be fun to step away from that to focus on yeah i like that idea a lot um well we're going going back to challenges now folks yes so i have a challenge for you oh yes and this is just ridiculous i'm so excited uh no offense jace whiz who wrote this in uh who's a she her pronouns but this is i just it's so dumb and funny i love it okay so your challenge if you if you so accept it is to find reviews where our names are used so oh my god that's hilarious i feel like we could also expand it to like i don't know uh
Starting point is 01:05:03 blaze whoever like d whatever you want but i feel like it could be funny to like use our names in reviews and just see what's out there that's so funny and she said it can be as a general uh it can be as general as a review mentioning your names for any starbucks or something but points of it is a tourist attraction theme park that you guys have talked about before okay so you know it could be like she said a place that you've talked about visiting on the podcast so it doesn't have to be but um i just thought that was so random and funny like i love that that's gonna be so that's such gonna be such a goofy challenge i'm so excited oh okay so now i have a theme for us for the 22nd. I'm nervous.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Ornaments. Ornaments. I love it. Because I feel like there are some really random websites that sell really specific ornaments. Yeah. We just played that new Jackbox game and it said it had a list of ornaments. That's why it's on my mind. Yes. That is exactly why it's on my mind.
Starting point is 01:06:02 And there was a website they mentioned. We should find that. Yeah. Yes, that is exactly what's on my mind. And there was a website they mentioned. We should find that. And I just feel like there are even, I mean, obviously there are like Hanukkah ornaments, which obviously they're for Christmas tree typically. But I feel like there's a wide variety that we could cover many different themes. Awesome. That sounds really good. Your challenge is from lauren and it's just a little different um okay find a review of someone who clearly received the wrong prescription from a drugstore oh no okay this will be interesting it'll be interesting so i don't know how bad that like
Starting point is 01:06:38 if that's you know like it could be i probably won't mention the pharmacy by name just so nobody gets fired yeah that's pretty bad huh but should i do something else no i think no i'm gonna i'm gonna do it okay okay okay i'm gonna take the challenge and uh lauren said bonus if the review is positive so that would be ideal if somehow it's like a positive reveal mentioning that um i don't know how often this happens you know obviously it's extremely regulated but there are so many prescriptions. It has to happen, right? It has to because there's so many.
Starting point is 01:07:07 But also, what if it didn't happen and they just write that it did? You know what I mean? True, true, true. It's also possible that the reviewer is confused or says they got the wrong prescription but didn't. So I feel like it's definitely possible to find a review. It's going to be curious. It's going to be what? It's going to be curious to see.
Starting point is 01:07:23 I thought you said precarious. I was like, yes, like yes both of those things so feel free to send us an email if you have any uh uh thoughts on this i'll be a quick uh commercial on prices right if you've received the wrong prescription from your pharmacy you may be entitled to compensation please email bhc's handy at gmail.com and maybe you can help me out because i won't give you anything in return perfect um and also y'all we are back to releasing patreon yes oh i meant to mention at the beginning yeah so uh you can join us on patreon we're releasing a new patreon episode uh for november and then uh yeah of course we'll do one for december Sweet. Anyway, thank you all.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Happy holidays and hope you're having a good time. And we will talk to you next week with what might be my favorite episode ever because it's all QVC themed.
