Carney Wilson
When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Jeff Lewis
This dementia is aggressive.
Pej Vedat
Really.
Shane
So is the drinking.
Jeff Lewis
You know, I've never been on a private plane before and I'm very excited. Are you serious?
Pej Vedat
No, never.
Jeff Lewis
What are you, a Martian?
Carney Wilson
You're really demented. You're actually demented. Jeff Lewis has issues.
Jeff Lewis
Hey, it's Jeff Lewis and I have issues. In today's episode, Carney Wilson and Pej Vedat join the show. But we talk about Carnie's father's passing, Pej's side pieces and mom jeans. Welcome back, guys.
Pej Vedat
Thanks.
Carney Wilson
Hi.
Jeff Lewis
Welcome back, Karne.
Carney Wilson
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
We know that your kitchen is up and running because you made us the most amazing brownies today.
Carney Wilson
Can you believe I finally started baking again?
Jeff Lewis
They're so good.
Carney Wilson
Thank you. Good.
Shane
I'm so good.
Carney Wilson
I know. It was like I felt like my old self again coming back with some goods.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I'm really glad the old self is back. Cause I am taking those brownies home with me. But just one a day. One a day is all I'm gonna do.
Carney Wilson
I've missed you, Gu. It's been a really hard month. Let's just get it over with. We're not gonna talk depressing things, but it's been really hard. And I was thinking about it as I was brushing my teeth. I wanted to say thank you to everybody. Everybody who sent so many beautiful messages to my family and everyone. It's been. You know, I lost dad last month and it was the hardest month ever. But I really believe, like, everybody adding all their love made it easier. I really do.
Jeff Lewis
Carney, do you think because You. I mean, your dad was ill, right?
Carney Wilson
Well, not really, no. I mean, he just started getting older and older and then like his lungs and, you know, things just. Just start shutting down.
Jeff Lewis
The reason I was asking is when you have some sort of indication, like my mom was terminal, so I knew she was going to pass.
Carney Wilson
Right.
Jeff Lewis
When you have some sort of indication that the person is going to pass soon, does that feel any. Does it. I mean, you.
Carney Wilson
Does it prepare you? Yes, in a way it does. Yeah. I mean, I could tell he was fading. And he FaceTimed me about three days before he passed away. And Lola and I sang at the piano for him. He actually sang with us. And he had this look in his eye, you know, that was sort of sad. He looked sad and I just had a funny feeling. And then, you know, a few days later I got the call, but I rushed over to the house and I spent about five hours with him after he passed away. And it was me and my sister, and it was really, really an amazing five hours, you guys. I know that sounds weird, but it was really.
Jeff Lewis
Doesn't sound weird to me.
Carney Wilson
It was critical for us to do that.
Jeff Lewis
So you sat next to him, laid in bed with him, and did you talk?
Carney Wilson
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, do you think he was like.
Carney Wilson
I think he was there.
Jeff Lewis
Shut the fuck up, carnie. After five hours.
Carney Wilson
Oh, my God, you're so.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, just after five. I mean, what can't you say in like an hour?
Carney Wilson
You know what it was. Because I couldn't.
Shane
You Talked for here 10 hours a week.
Carney Wilson
Exactly. Oh, my God, you're. You're deranged. No, it was really good. It was. It was very healing, very healing to do that.
Jeff Lewis
Now you've heard this show where we were talking about this new procedure where you can cremate your loved one and turn them into diamonds. You love diamonds.
Carney Wilson
What in the are you talking about?
Jeff Lewis
I'm just wondering, did you ever consider cremation and then turning Brian Wilson into diamonds?
Carney Wilson
Yeah, well, he. He already is a diamond. And every single dust is a little diamond. Every piece.
Jeff Lewis
You know what? That would have good. I know. It's. It just would have been.
Carney Wilson
You're out of your.
Jeff Lewis
It just would have been a good money making opportunity. People loved your dad. Oh, God, I wonder how many diamonds we could have got out of.
Carney Wilson
Are you actually thinking about money?
Jeff Lewis
My God, you really bury him.
Carney Wilson
What is wrong with you?
Jeff Lewis
Where did you bury him?
Carney Wilson
He's not buried yet. We're. We're. We're. We're scheduling that for the beginning of August. I feel like making him a diamond.
Shane
Is less about the money and more about, like. Ashes are ugly, diamonds are beautiful.
Carney Wilson
I know, right? But you know, he. He sparkles. No matter what his ashes sparkle, he's in it.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, but we can make it more sparkly.
Carney Wilson
Oh, for God's sake.
Shane
We could put it on your ears, around your neck.
Jeff Lewis
So pretty.
Carney Wilson
We decided not to do anything like that.
Pej Vedat
Tennis bracelet.
Carney Wilson
You guys, can we all shut the up now?
Jeff Lewis
Well, can I ask you something else then?
Carney Wilson
What?
Jeff Lewis
Do you ever. Okay, so it's been over.
Carney Wilson
You know, Pej is right next to me.
Jeff Lewis
I know. We're going to get to. No, don't worry about me.
Pej Vedat
This is great.
Jeff Lewis
It's. Yeah, because we have to talk about this. Because Shane has a theory on why you're in LA so much now. But we're. We'll get there.
Carney Wilson
I miss Pej so much. I want him back in LA so badly. Oh, my God. Keigo.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, so do you ever think about. Okay, what is the learning experience here? What is. I know that you. When you go through grief, but you ever. Because you've kind of started like turning a corner now, I think.
Carney Wilson
Yes, I have.
Jeff Lewis
I think you started turning a corner. I think we should we talk about that.
Shane
Yeah. We had a call, like, right. Like the day I felt like that was the first time I heard your voice where I was like, she is back.
Carney Wilson
Yes, I did have something happen that. Actually, I was telling Pej about it. I had a dream and he finally came into the dream. I was asking him to visit me, like every night. I was like literally crying all day, but really crying. Nighttime was really hard for me. Like, when everything slowed down. I'm in my bed. Rob was, you know, in and out of traveling by myself. And I just was like sitting there and I can't, you know, drink or get stoned or do whatever. Cause I have to feel all my feelings. Cause I'm a sober woman. So I was like, here I am. I'm in fucking grief. And I would cry and go, daddy, please, please come see me in my dream. I just wanted another moment with him, you know. And so a psychic lady said, don't do that. Don't cry. He doesn't want you to be sad. He doesn't want you to do that. Just tell him you're ready to have him visit you. Just tell him I'm ready. I'm ready. And I did. On the 35th night. I said, I'm ready. I wasn't crying. I was totally calm. And Hours later, at 4:30 in the morning, there he was in my dream. And he was sitting down and it was him. And he didn't speak because I don't believe the spirits speak when they come to you in your dreams. They just, you know what they're saying? They communicate through their eyes. And he just said, I'm here and I'm at peace. Or it's peaceful and I'm here. And then I woke up actually smiling because I was waking up crying. Um, I'd wake up and I'd think of him and I'd just start crying. But ever since that day, it's just like something was lifted. I don't know. I don't. I can't explain it. It's like you. You feel you have to be able to cry and grieve. But we know that they don't want us to be sad. So we have to try our best to not be sad in. In their honor. You know what I mean?
Jeff Lewis
I would. Obviously you never, you know, you never. This is a hard thing to wrap your head around, like losing a loved one. I mean, one of the good things that came out of this is that you stopp posting your kitchen renovation.
Carney Wilson
Jesus Christ.
Jeff Lewis
That was one of the positive things that came out of it because those posts were out of control.
Carney Wilson
Oh, stop with the girlfriend. There's more to come because we have the reveal.
Jeff Lewis
You have to stop.
Carney Wilson
No, we have the reveal.
Shane
The grand finale.
Carney Wilson
The grand finale and the reveal. But. But I just want to say one of the things that also made it really intense for me about dad is that the music. Right. The Beach Boys is constantly on the radio anyway. So then I would. I'm always reminded.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Carney Wilson
Of, you know, so it's. And then I had to. I have to turn that around and go, oh, yes, this is a celebration. It's never going to go away. So I have to live with that. And that's a beautiful thing.
Jeff Lewis
I feel that way with Wilson Phillips. We're constantly changing the channel. And there is another Wilson Phillips song. There's another. Can't get away from Carney Wilson. Now you are. You do have three events coming up. Wilson Phillips. So you're hitting the road now.
Carney Wilson
Yep. Yeah, we are. And we. I actually did a concert seven days after he passed away. Yeah. Because I. We probably would have been sued if we just canceled. You know what I mean? But it was really healing. It was the best audience we've ever. We've ever had. And it was great.
Jeff Lewis
You're going to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Carney Wilson
That's right.
Jeff Lewis
On July 25th.
Carney Wilson
20. Yeah, 25th.
Jeff Lewis
August 8th, you're in New Buffalo, Michigan. Michigan. Okay. And then August 10th, you're in Northfield, Ohio.
Carney Wilson
That's right.
Jeff Lewis
And you go to Ticketmaster.com.
Carney Wilson
Yes, Ticketmaster.com. and it's going to be fun. I've got. I've already got backstage passes for people. And sometimes when people do a cameo, I set them up with backstage passes, too.
Jeff Lewis
Wow. Yeah, you do?
Carney Wilson
I do sometimes.
Jeff Lewis
How much?
Carney Wilson
Your cameos, they're like 125.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, that's expensive. You probably should throw in some tickets at least.
Carney Wilson
I think that's expensive.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, you should throw in more. 125 sometimes.
Pej Vedat
I'm 35 bucks.
Carney Wilson
Are you really?
Jeff Lewis
How much are you?
Pej Vedat
35.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but aren't you doing some weird, creepy, like, video autograph thing for $58?
Pej Vedat
That's over with Pej. I did that a long time ago.
Carney Wilson
You need to increase your cameo. That is not enough.
Pej Vedat
Women advice on their boyfriends. They're like, can you tell me how to get over my boyfriend? Or like, my husband's doing this? I'm like, what?
Shane
I love when it's like a juicy story. I'm like, I want the tea.
Carney Wilson
Me too.
Jeff Lewis
Do you want to be honest with Pej and tell him what you said to me and to Kian?
Shane
I'm just wondering, like, you're in LA a lot. Is there some sort of side piece situation?
Jeff Lewis
You said ho. You said he's here in town because of a side hustle.
Shane
Like, who are you checking on? Why are you here? That's all I want.
Pej Vedat
But my girlfriend's with me.
Shane
She came with me this time because she felt threatened.
Jeff Lewis
There was a lot of posts with pretty girls in it. Was one of those pretty girls your girlfriend?
Pej Vedat
What post?
Jeff Lewis
You were out and about the last.
Pej Vedat
Always out and about.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Pej Vedat
I'm like you. I'm always last to leave, too.
Jeff Lewis
I know.
Pej Vedat
It's the worst.
Carney Wilson
You're just social.
Jeff Lewis
That's very social.
Carney Wilson
You're just social. You love people.
Pej Vedat
I like pretty girls.
Carney Wilson
Yeah, you do. But.
Jeff Lewis
But.
Carney Wilson
And they like you.
Jeff Lewis
See, I think he might have them on both coasts.
Shane
That's what I'm saying.
Carney Wilson
No, he does.
Jeff Lewis
You're right, Shane. I defended you initially until you just responded, no, I'm a whore that way.
Pej Vedat
I love it.
Jeff Lewis
Now, what about love bites? How you doing with that?
Jameson
What do you mean, love?
Carney Wilson
Love bites. Get it straight, motherfucker. Okay. What do you mean, love lights?
Jeff Lewis
Well, I heard There's a sale going on on one of them.
Carney Wilson
There are sales. Every company has sales.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but this one in particular. So Love Lights by Carney Wilson Soy Candle. Now, the island hibiscus and the passion fruit is. That's the normal price, but you're really trying to push that Cranberry Dream. It's 25% off.

Carney Wilson
Okay. See, he's. He's nice. See, I love how you like. You want to promote me. But then you're. You're. But you're also, like, criticizing.
Jeff Lewis
No, I'm asking why is cranberry dream 25% off when the other ones are regular price?
Carney Wilson
But honestly, who gives a shit? Just be excited about the sale and the lovely candle.
Jeff Lewis
I think it's a closeout sale. Because you didn't sell any last Christmas.
Carney Wilson
Why does it always have to be a why? Why do you always have to dig out?
Jeff Lewis
I'm just. Well, they're 25% off. $35.
Shane

Jeff Lewis
Shane, do you want to tell her about the scent you came up with, which I think is genius.
Shane

Shane
It's seasonal.

Carney Wilson
You're so lucky you have Shane. Shane is ears, heart and everything, but.
Jeff Lewis
I think you should do It.
Carney Wilson
Yeah, it's a good idea.
Jeff Lewis
Especially right now.
Carney Wilson
I'm going to tell them. I'm going to tell them. I don't want to capitalize on stuff, but I think that's a beautiful idea.
Shane
Maybe wait. Wait a couple months.
Jeff Lewis
No, now's the time.
Carney Wilson
No, no.
Jeff Lewis

Now I do have to out you.
Carney Wilson
Oh, no. What now?
Shane
After all this? Positive.
Carney Wilson
After all this.
Jeff Lewis
And you heard this, too? Patch, you were there. You confided in us today that you were on a Food Network show and that you cheated.
Carney Wilson
I didn't say I cheated.
Jeff Lewis
You cheated.
Carney Wilson
I said I got a heads up on something.
Jeff Lewis
Jameson, I'm going to need you to listen to this and weigh in. Connie, why don't you start from the beginning?
Carney Wilson
You want me. What do you mean? I'm supposed to tell it.
Jeff Lewis
Guy Fieri.
Carney Wilson
Oh, you're such a prick. Jesus.
Jeff Lewis
What happened?
Carney Wilson
Oh, okay. I did this show with Guy Fieri, and I had. Everybody had to be. You had a partner.
Jeff Lewis
Competition.
Carney Wilson
Competition show. And I was really excited, but I was really nervous. Cause, you know, I did chops and I won Chopped.
Jeff Lewis
So explain. First, explain the premise of the show. The backstage, they surprise you with the dish.
Carney Wilson
Right? So we don't know what we're going to make. And I'm backstage and I forgot her name. She's Indian. She's a very.
Jeff Lewis
Don't out her.
Carney Wilson
Okay. Well, anyway, everybody was talking behind the scenes. And it was like one group would go after the next, and they did like three tapings in the day. So I wanted to know. I wanted to find A way to find out, like, what we were going to make.
Jeff Lewis
But that's. But that's cheating. Because it was supposed to be a surprise, Right?
Carney Wilson
But I bet other people did it too.
Jeff Lewis
I was like, oh, so that makes it okay?
Carney Wilson
If I could just get the information.
Jeff Lewis
There's other criminals there.
Carney Wilson
You would do the same thing.
Jeff Lewis
That's not the point.
Pej Vedat
Neither here nor there.
Carney Wilson
I need Jeff. So I found out that we were going to be making omelets. And by the way, I didn't know when I. When we actually started that it was going to be one hand. I was going to have one hand.
Jeff Lewis
Doesn't matter. You found out it was an omelet. And what did you do?
Carney Wilson
I quickly googled Jeffrey Zakarian, Iron Chef, and how to make an omelet.
Jeff Lewis
You cheated.
Carney Wilson
Because I knew that motherfucker would make the best omelets. And. And we won because I.
Jeff Lewis
Yes, because you cheated.
Carney Wilson
No, because I have skill.
Shane
When you.
Jeff Lewis
What are you talking about?
Carney Wilson
I was. Because then we could execute it perfectly with one hand.
Shane
When you were on Celebrity Beef.
Jeff Lewis
We're not talking about that right now. We're talking about Carny.
Shane
You heard that? It was going to be possible anyway. So what's up? Stu show you how to make vodka sauce? Then I wrote it all on your hand right before the taping.
Carney Wilson
Oh, my God. You fucking hypocrite.
Jeff Lewis
That's not the point.
Jameson
And you lost.
Carney Wilson
Oh, my God.
Pej Vedat
Well, didn't Stu give him the. That was Stu's recipe.
Jeff Lewis
It's not his fault. I should have known.
Carney Wilson
That's too much. Oh, God.
Jeff Lewis
This is so. What did you win?
Carney Wilson
I won. It was like a plastic spoon or something. I was expecting something really great. And it was literally like the worst.
Pej Vedat
No money prize ever donated to charity.
Shane
For you or something.
Jeff Lewis
That fork is not yours.
Carney Wilson
Yeah. Oh, return it.
Jeff Lewis
It should go to the runner up.
Carney Wilson
That's so mean.
Jeff Lewis
No, it's not.
Carney Wilson
Ross Matthews. No idea.
Jeff Lewis
Ross Matthews?
Carney Wilson
Yes. Was the runner Ross Matthews.
Shane
He's so great.
Jeff Lewis
He's so nice.
Carney Wilson
I know I could gab for hours. He's my dear friend. I love him.
Jeff Lewis
A dear friend that you cheated?
Carney Wilson
Oh, my God. Shut up already.
Jameson
Carnie, I'm sorry, so sorry to weigh in so soon after your father's passing, but that is a violation.
Jeff Lewis
What is?
Carney Wilson
What is cheating? Well, hold on. How is it cheating if somebody offered the information to me?
Shane
That person is the one who cheated.
Carney Wilson
Exactly.
Shane
Carney just received the information, but you.
Jeff Lewis
Went and you ran to your phone and started googling recipes. That's true.
Carney Wilson
No, I didn't Google recipes.
Jeff Lewis
Did she make you do that?
Carney Wilson
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Pej Vedat
I've never seen your neck go like that.
Jeff Lewis
Because you're angry.
Carney Wilson
I did not Google a recipe. I Googled a method. Making omelets is a carrion method. Wait a minute. Making omelets is extremely difficult. The right way to do it. The French way to do it. Okay, there.
Jeff Lewis
There is a. I bet she stole that Love Light formula from somebody.
Shane
She didn't invent soy candles.
Carney Wilson
Exactly. Oh, my God.
Jeff Lewis
She claims to.
Carney Wilson
Are you gonna go to every area in my life and say, well, I've missed you?
Jeff Lewis
You haven't been here in a while. I have a lot to cover.
Carney Wilson
I've missed you too. Oh, shit.
Jeff Lewis
Now I'm almost afraid to ask, how's the kitchen remodel going?
Pej Vedat
Oh, God.
Carney Wilson
It's finished.
Jeff Lewis
The shade. You were waiting for the window shade?
Carney Wilson
Yeah, the shade is in. Everything's done. It's all done. And the reveal is going to be very probably in next. Next week.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, good, because we need to stage that.
Carney Wilson
Yeah. Well, I have a. I have a. I have a video photo session with House of Roll tomorrow to showcase all the hardware, the sink. It's beautiful. It looks so good. I'm so happy.
Jeff Lewis
What happened with the window shade?
Carney Wilson
Sorry, I just burped what.
Pej Vedat
I missed.
Jeff Lewis
You could just say, excuse me.
Carney Wilson
No, the window people.
Pej Vedat
I'm just glad she didn't burp in my direction.
Carney Wilson
I know I blew it the other way. No, the window. The shade people are just got really weird. And the guy showed up, and he's like, oh, they forgot the other guy they were going to send with me. And I can't install this because this is construction.
Jeff Lewis
By the way.
Carney Wilson
He was afraid about the. About the tile. He was afraid to do the drill through the tile.
Jeff Lewis
So he showed up.
Carney Wilson
He showed up and then he left. He goes, I have eight other jobs today. And I said, well, then call your other people and cancel another job to do this? He didn't. But it's one thing after the other. I have never experienced anything like construction in my life. It is just six months now.
Jeff Lewis
Do you know how many times I've scheduled delivery of something and they don't have the guys to actually take it off the truck? And they said, well, where are your guys to take it off the truck? I said, my guys aren't here because you never said anything about that. And I thought there'd be two of you. That shit happens all day.
Carney Wilson
But why does it happen every day?
Pej Vedat
Wait, what? You order something.
Jeff Lewis
It happens all the time.
Pej Vedat
They don't come with people.
Shane
They will deliver it, drop them off.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Shane
And they'll do a whole thing. Okay, Tuesday, but between 12 and 3, and we'll call you the night before. And they. And we have 10 conversations about it.
Jeff Lewis
And I have four guys there. And then they're two hours late, or they don't show up, or they reschedule, or construction is the most frustrating thing ever.
Carney Wilson
And then they blame you. And then the next guy is coming up to clean the next guy's mess and the next guy's mess. I mean, I had a door casing installed in my new powder room that you suggested making, which is genius. And look down at the bottom, like, I see the fucking cement. I see the heart, the flooring underneath, and they left a huge gap. It just doesn't end now.
Jeff Lewis
So my appliances just went in and. Which I thought was very, very thorough and smart of the company.
Carney Wilson
What brand?
Jeff Lewis
Well, I don't want to call them out yet because I'm about to talk shit. So they came out on a Saturday morning, and I couldn't make it. And I had. Doug Buden was kind enough to meet the appliance installers so they can go through and say they want to look at everything, like the gas lines and the water lines and make sure the electrical. Make sure everything is ready to go when they put in the appliances. So, great. We're all good to go. Everything looks good. Here's your estimate. I said, great, Book it. They come in on a Wednesday. Yeah. You know, we're not going to be able to install this. It does. It looks like it's the wrong valve. Oh. And. And then what was the other thing? There was another. Oh, we can't install the second dishwasher because it's not a dual air gap. Why didn't you fucking tell me this?
Carney Wilson
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
When you were there on Saturday.
Carney Wilson
Exactly.
Jeff Lewis
That's why you were there.
Carney Wilson
It's so annoying.
Jeff Lewis
It's.
Carney Wilson
It's.
Jeff Lewis
This is why we. This is why it's so frustrating. This is why I've aged such a little.
Carney Wilson
I understand.
Shane
And as a new homeowner, I get it. Because I had a very frustrating experience last week with my appliances as well, because I tried to get a fridge and a dishwasher, and the fridge guy said, oh, I don't touch that one. And that guy said, oh, I don't touch the fridge. But they couldn't do them both because the water valve was hidden. So it was a whole situation still not resolved.
Carney Wilson
I understand that. But then at the end of the day, I'm like, just get it to work. And it might cost an extra few hundred, but it will work. And I'm grateful that I have it all. I just. It's always going to happen.
Jeff Lewis
Pej. Are you still planning to propose? Yeah, under a tree.
Shane
Is that why she's here?
Pej Vedat
No, no, no. We couldn't do it this time.
Jeff Lewis
Did you tell us that on the air before? I don't remember. Like under a tree next to a cookie shop?
Pej Vedat
What the fuck? Why are you saying.
Jeff Lewis
It'S the first.
Pej Vedat
Time I saw her in my life?
Shane
I think that's really.
Jeff Lewis
Under a tree next to a cookie shop?
Carney Wilson
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Is it still a cookie shop?
Shane
Yeah, it's the tree, it's the shop.
Pej Vedat
It's where I saw her the first time 22 years ago.
Shane
Is she expecting it last Saturday? We're out here right now. It's the anniversary.
Pej Vedat
Yeah, that's why I didn't do it. That's weird.
Carney Wilson
Wait, wait, wait. I don't understand. Is he.
Shane
Okay, so the whole thing is that he's gonna propose in front of the. Where they met. And it's here in la, not where we met.
Pej Vedat
The first time I saw her.
Shane
And so now you're both here in la.
Pej Vedat
Coming back again. Did you see my side piece? But I'm under the tree. She didn't see me. I was too creepy. I was looking across. I was like, who's that hot girl?
Jeff Lewis
So you're proposing her to. Okay, you're propos.
Pej Vedat
But she knows the story. She knows that I saw her there. She loves that story. She goes, tell everybody how we met.
Jeff Lewis
Where was your first date?
Pej Vedat
In N Out burger. It's like $200 in my life.
Carney Wilson
I like that.
Pej Vedat
I was 22. I had 200 bucks.
Jeff Lewis
I think he was trying to think. I'm just trying to help him find another place to propose. Why under a tree next to a cookie shop?
Shane
Yeah, they can get cookies after.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Pej Vedat

Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Carney Wilson
And they have fireplaces and it was a suite. It was still 1100 bucks for the night. But we wound up. No, we just wound up canceling. We just rescheduled it. We just went to dinner. Just went to.
Jeff Lewis

Carney Wilson
No Sushi. What is it called? Sushi Co. No, no, no.
Pej Vedat
I've never been to Nobu.
Jeff Lewis
Was it a good anniversary? Because Kind of a strange timing.
Carney Wilson
No, it was just because dad passed it really put it like a, like a downer on it. But it's okay because.
Jeff Lewis
Will, would you recreate it? Maybe do a trip or something later?
Carney Wilson
Yeah, yeah. We decided that we're actually in a really, really good place.
Jeff Lewis
Well, yeah, because he basically lives in another house.
Carney Wilson
What? The guest house?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Carney Wilson
Oh, God. That's where Studio is. He's, He's. He was you guys. Honest to God, I. Now I know why I'm married for this long. He is so freaking supportive and wonderful. I am so lucky to have a partner like that.
Jeff Lewis
I honestly think it's the guest house Adu. I think that is the trick. I think you should get one when you get married.
Pej Vedat
She told me that too.
Jeff Lewis
You have to have a guest house.
Carney Wilson
I agree. I agree.
Jeff Lewis
Basically, two different homes and you know what?
Carney Wilson
I agree.
Jeff Lewis
We can go out there all day.
Carney Wilson
Yep.
Jeff Lewis
How would you feel about you for dinner? Well, right now I'm in a situation where I actually like him. You know what I mean? So I don't really need an Adu yet.
Pej Vedat
But you will.
Jeff Lewis
Well, that's why I'm running the sewer line, the water line. It's all going to be ready to go. I seriously am ready to go. I spend like 25 grand. Everything.
Carney Wilson
I bet.
Jeff Lewis
So when I need to build it, that's good. I don't know if it's gonna be for him or for me.
Carney Wilson
Separation is good. It's healthy.
Pej Vedat
It is healthy because you just.
Carney Wilson
You just get too tired of each.
Pej Vedat
Other and as long as you have a side piece in la.
Carney Wilson
No, you guys, it's. It's called a partner. It's called a life partner. You guys. It's not just sex and stuff. It's. It's being a partner with somebody. You know what I mean?
Pej Vedat
Yeah. Jameson.
Carney Wilson
It's going through these. What? James's face.
Jeff Lewis
Let's talk about this for a second because I. I was. You know, I like to stalk you on Instagram.
Jameson
Gay.
Jeff Lewis
I saw some posts this weekend. You guys were at a big gay event.
Jameson
Look, like always, babe.
Jeff Lewis
So you were in someone's home.
Shane
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And how many gays were there?
Jameson
Oh, God. So Franck's friends host. They're amazing hosts. Shout out to them. They hosted a. They host a sing along every other month or so. So this is a Grease themed sing along. So we went from tip to tail. We went the whole way and then we did the group numbers together. And then everyone was assigned individuals.
Carney Wilson
Wella, Wella, Wella.
Jameson
Oh, Sammy Mahadani.
Jeff Lewis
How many people were there?
Jameson
There were 30.
Jeff Lewis
And are you friends with any women?
Jameson
Occasionally women show up.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Shane
What was your solo?
Jameson
I was not assigned to solo, so I didn't.
Jeff Lewis
Oh. Cause Frank was.
Jameson
Yeah, but he's. It's their friends.
Shane
But they know that you're a talent.
Jameson
Yes. And they. So then it was open afterwards. So.
Jeff Lewis
So they're so threatened by him.
Carney Wilson
I love your voice.
Jameson
Then it was open because he's so talented.
Carney Wilson
I agree.
Jameson
You're going to love this, Carney. It was so touching. We ended by all gathering around the piano and singing seasons of love. I almost brought a tear to my eye.
Jeff Lewis
I would have been that front. Out that front door.
Pej Vedat
Oh, I'm right behind you, baby.
Jeff Lewis
Where's the martini roll? That was it for me.
Carney Wilson
Oh, no.
Jameson
There's plenty of alcohol, plenty of food. Yeah, but their entire. You know, they have an island. Entire island covered in food, huge bar.
Jeff Lewis
So you didn't get to. You really didn't get to sing at all?
Jameson
I mean, I sang. I didn't. I didn't want to sing a solo.
Jeff Lewis
Here's the thing. You get to sing on the radio all day long.
Carney Wilson
That's true. It's true. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Not them.
Jameson
But. But they're great.
Pej Vedat
You're famous. They're not.
Jameson
I just want to clarify. You're saying these things, not me, but.
Jeff Lewis
You'Re thinking it too.
Jameson
I'm just saying that I was happy to be there to speak.
Jeff Lewis
You're like, oh, they didn't.
Pej Vedat
You're so humble.
Carney Wilson
I love your humility.
Jameson
Thank you. Back to Jeff Yucking. Everyone's fucking.
Carney Wilson
Exactly.
Jeff Lewis
Can it just be he's not that humble.
Jameson
Can't it just be a great night where we all celebrated Greece?
Jeff Lewis
Because you know what? When you compliment him, like, you're so much better than Frunk. He doesn't say no. He just. No. He's like, oh, yeah, okay.
Jameson
He's a beautiful voice.
Jeff Lewis
Yours is better.
Jameson
He's saying Beauty School Dropout. He was phenomenal.
Carney Wilson
Oh, my God.
Jameson
And there was a smoke machine.
Jeff Lewis
I was wondering why there was no post of you singing. Because they didn't allow you to sing.
Jameson
Okay.
Carney Wilson
Yeah, no, he didn't want to steal.
Shane
The thunder that wouldn't want to sing. Greets.
Jameson
No, just right. They didn't allow me. In fact, when I came in, they pulled me to the side, pushed me in a closet, started beating me up, and said, if you sing, we're gonna pants you.
Carney Wilson
I've never heard you that would make.
Jeff Lewis
You think you've ever heard Greece 3. He's getting defensive now. This is when he starts spinning ridiculous jazz. How many gays sang solos?
Jameson
Solos? Oh, my God, there were so many solos.
Jeff Lewis
Probably 10, 20, and there was 30 people there.
Jameson
Yeah, there were a lot of singing.
Jeff Lewis
So who were the other 10 that could not sing, would not allow them to?
Jameson
Anyone could sing there. It's an open house.
Jeff Lewis
You said you were not assigned a solo.
Jameson
No, we did. We did Grease and then it was open karaoke, so anyone could sing at that point.
Jeff Lewis
How many times did Frank sing?
Jameson
He sang a lot.
Jeff Lewis
I knew it.
Carney Wilson
I bet.
Jameson
And it was great.
Shane
I love when you.
Jeff Lewis
It would have been nice if you had sung, but, you know, Frank had.
Jameson
A few to do.
Jeff Lewis
Four or five songs.
Jameson
Honey, Frank loves it. Babe, listen, that's my prerogative. I get to choose if I want.
Carney Wilson
To sing or not.
Jeff Lewis
That's true. It's nice that, you know, you sit in the back. That's nice. He lets his partner shine and let him shine.
Jameson
Yeah, he was wonderful. He was great.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. No, I saw the post.
Jameson
I was just saying him and all of us.
Pej Vedat
Seriously, though, honestly, if me and you were there, how long would we last?
Carney Wilson
Five minutes.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I mean, I would have left it Frank's first solo. First one. Oh, you would have With a smoke machine.
Carney Wilson
Did you wear Speedo? Did everybody wear bathing suits?
Jameson
No, but people were in like 50s, you know, like the host was wearing like 11 the jacket.
Pej Vedat
And does the singing just go non stop?
Jameson
No. Great question. They're wonderful hosts. So start mingling, drinking, abs.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, great.
Jameson
Then act one. Then pause for burgers. We had hot dogs. It was like a grill. Then we did act two.
Jeff Lewis
Wait, did you know about all this? Did they pass out a schedule of something?
Jameson
No. And just like they're wonderful hosts, so they consider that not everyone just wants to listen to singing the whole time.
Carney Wilson
They're so organized.
Jameson
So then we ate a little. Then we did some more singing, you know.
Jeff Lewis
Can I ask you something?
Jameson
You're great hosts.
Jeff Lewis
You've been and you both have. Pej, you guys have been in the entertainment industry a long time. Have you ever met a couple that say they're both in entertainment, Maybe performers?
Carney Wilson
And.
Jeff Lewis
And one kind of shines more than the other, but insists on it, but the other one is more talented?
Carney Wilson
I don't think I have. I don't think I have. Have you, Pej?
Pej Vedat
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
I find it ironic that the person who's the most talented has to sit in the back with the other nine.
Jameson
People that aren't the backhanded compliments. Jeff's saying I'm more talented, but it's at the expense of my boyfriend being terribly. Having no talent.
Jeff Lewis
He did six solos.
Jameson
He's great. He's a great singer.
Jeff Lewis
He did six solos. There was 30 people.
Carney Wilson
That's.
Jameson
Greetings.
Carney Wilson
Wait a minute.
Jeff Lewis
That's greed.
Carney Wilson
Actually, Jeff is actually scared of Connie.
Pej Vedat
So I'm not saying shit.
Jeff Lewis
Jeff, you agree?
Carney Wilson
Jeff wanted you to sing more. That's why he's doing this.
Jeff Lewis
I want him to sing once.
Carney Wilson
Right.
Jeff Lewis
Just once.
Carney Wilson
Right.
Pej Vedat
But you know what, though? If he sang once, I think that's it.
Carney Wilson
Right?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, you're right.
Shane
Why?
Pej Vedat
Of course, because everybody.
Jeff Lewis
That's powerful.
Jameson
No, these guys on another level.
Pej Vedat
And he's going to be like. And everyone's going to be offended.
Jeff Lewis
Do you think Frank, like crossed off Jameson's name, wrote his own? He's like, oh my God, I'm up again.
Pej Vedat
Yep.
Jameson
You guys are such sirs. You create such a mess. And then. Then I have to go clean up your mess. We had a one.
Jeff Lewis
He's cleaning up his mess.
Jameson
They're wonderful singers. Thank you to the hosts. We. I. We had.
Pej Vedat
Was there good wine?
Jeff Lewis
I would have loved to have heard one more.
Pej Vedat
What kind of wine did they have?
Shane
The best singer we know. They are great singers.
Jeff Lewis
The famous one.
Pej Vedat
They didn't. Of course.
Jameson
Why would people want to hear you?
Pej Vedat
Anyone else famous there?
Jameson
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
Compared to them, you're the A list. You're the A list talent. Compared to all of them.
Carney Wilson
What would you have sung if you had a chance?
Pej Vedat
Let's say, if you were given the freedom?
Jameson
Well, it's actually funny. I love singing Hopelessly devoted to you. But someone already sang it because if.
Jeff Lewis
You were doing Grease was probably somebody else.
Carney Wilson
Who was it?
Jameson
Franc? No, it was somebody else.
Jeff Lewis
What songs did Frank sing?
Jameson
He sang. I just said it.
Carney Wilson
Beauty School Dropout.
Jameson
Thank you. Beauty School Dropout.
Carney Wilson
And.
Jameson
And I can't remember the other ones.
Jeff Lewis

Jeff Lewis

Jeff Lewis
I'm glad you had a great time. It's all about him 24 7.
Carney Wilson
But I'm glad that you know, you're a very. You know what, Jameson, I want, I want to hand it to you. You are a very confident, laid back, mellow. You know how to give people the floor when. And you're not threatened by that. And that, that shows that you are a confident person.
Jameson
Thank you. I apprec that.
Carney Wilson
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Can you give me a compliment?
Jameson

Carney Wilson
He's already appointed me.
Jeff Lewis
Seriously?
Pej Vedat
Yeah.
Carney Wilson
In a Hartman.
Jeff Lewis
I never thought we'd be invited.
Pej Vedat
Why?
Jeff Lewis
Where's the wedding gonna be? Because chumps are messy.

You can sing at that one too.
Carney Wilson
You can.
Pej Vedat
You know what I'm gonna do? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm not kidding.
Carney Wilson
What?
Pej Vedat
I'm sure she'd love it. I'm gonna have two short Singh too.
Jeff Lewis
You know, you should have Too short the rapper. No, you should have Franck do a solo or two. Or six.
Jameson
You would be so lucky on both coasts. He would be. They would be so lucky.
Carney Wilson
He would jump on that. That's. That's a strange combo. Me and Too Short.
Pej Vedat
Oh, iconic.
Carney Wilson
It's really kind of out there and really kind of weird, but I kind of like, yeah, I'll do anything for you.
Jeff Lewis
Is somebody gonna move or are you just gonna continue living? And we live together.
Shane
I thought she's in Boston.
Pej Vedat
I go back and forth. New York and Boston.
Carney Wilson
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
So how many days?
Pej Vedat
Depends on work. Like, right now I'm doing a play, so I'm in New York a lot. Then I go do tracker in Vancouver. I'm gone a lot, Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Pej Vedat
Side pieces in la.
Jeff Lewis
And I'm sure there's one in Vancouver.
Pej Vedat
Oh, yeah, Duh.
Jeff Lewis
Is that a poly thing? Is that poly?
Shane
No, it's just poly weekend.
Pej Vedat
We're just open. And more so on my side. I'm open.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Pej Vedat
She can't do anything.
Jeff Lewis
I see.
Carney Wilson
Oh, my God. That's so wrong.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I'm excited that we're gonna be invited to the wedding. Me, too.
Shane
LA wedding?
Carney Wilson
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
How fun.
Pej Vedat
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But what about your family? Because none of them.
Pej Vedat
I don't want them there.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. I was gonna say they don't all get along. Right. They're a bore.
Pej Vedat
I don't talk to my brother anymore.
Carney Wilson
Oh, shit.
Jeff Lewis
So he's not gonna get invited?
Carney Wilson
No, no. You have to mend that before.
Pej Vedat
Fuck that guy.
Carney Wilson
No, I'm gonna help you.
Jeff Lewis
What are you gonna do?
Carney Wilson
I'm gonna help him.
Jeff Lewis
Send him a candle.
Carney Wilson
I believe in making peace with people, and I think there's always a way.
Pej Vedat
People who cause me massive anxiety don't need to be in my life.
Jeff Lewis
I'm with you on that.
Pej Vedat
I love that. I'd rather just.
Shane
Why are you here, you guys?
Pej Vedat
Don't give me anxiety.
Jeff Lewis
So you don't want to cremate your dad?
Carney Wilson
We did.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, you did cremate him?
Carney Wilson
Yes, we did.
Jeff Lewis
Oh. Cause Monroe was asking me yesterday if I wanted to be cremated.
Carney Wilson
I have no idea what that segue.
Jeff Lewis
Was, but okay, you know what? I don't know either. I was just thinking about their brain.
Carney Wilson
It's your ADD brain.
Pej Vedat
It's the same shit.
Carney Wilson
It's your brain.
Jeff Lewis
You know what? Cause Monroe asked me, what did we do? What happened with Casey, our other dog? And I said, well, we cremated her. And she said, well, where'd you put the ashes? And I said, well, I just sprinkled them in the backyard. Cause she liked to be outside and all that. She goes, do you want to be cremated? I go, yeah. She goes, where do you want me to put the ashes? I don't know why she's even taking this on right now at 8.
Shane
That's a good question.
Jeff Lewis
I said Sirius XM. She goes, why? I go, because I have people that I want to fucking haunt for the rest of my life. Tim. I'm sorry, Jim. Smelly Jameson.
Shane
Alyssa.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, Alyssa for sure. I want her to sprinkle me all down these halls.
Jameson
Oh, Jeff, I'm gonna be so sad when you die.
Carney Wilson
Please don't die, Jen.
Jameson
Guys, send me your grief tips. I'm gonna need them.
Jeff Lewis
He's a dick. Let's play a new. Let's play a game.
Pej Vedat
Oh, my God. Hold on.
Carney Wilson
A game.
Jeff Lewis
We're playing a new edition today of Guess that Track or Girl, you're Wax Mom Jeans Edition. I'm gonna play a song. First person to guess either the name of the song or the artist gets the point. Don't worry, we got a real good prize today.

Carney Wilson
You ready?
Pej Vedat
