Jeff Lewis
When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Cynthia Bailey
I've learned from my mistakes and that's what I wanna teach people. Don't do what I have done this show.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, you guys really start some shit.
Cynthia Bailey
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as an asshole. I just want people to do their jobs.
Michael Beck
Jeff Lewis has issues.
Cynthia Bailey
Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues and today' episode. Cynthia Bailey, Michael Beck and Reza Farahan joined the show. We talk about Reza's reconciliation lunch, Michael's injured hamstring and Cynthia's hotel microwave. Welcome, Michael, you're putting some oil on your face as we speak. By Miracle Elixir.
Michael Beck
This is the Shine Day glow.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, yes. That the woman loved my favorite product. Now, did you want to change your answer? I did because I got a few DMs that the sunscreen goes on after the product, after oil.
Reza Farahan
That's news to me. I mean, and that's what confused me. Might be true, but that's.
Michael Beck
Oil's usually first actually, right? You get the shower, you do your serum or your oil after you. You know, you do. That's your toner, basically. Then you do your face cream, then your sunscreen.
Cynthia Bailey
But I don't. I like the idea of the two in one where she mixed the oil with the lotion, the moisturizer.
Jeff Lewis
That's what I put the lotion in the basket. There's a happy compromise here. So what we'll do is we're gonna take a little bit of the face cream. Drop some of the oil in it, Mix it together.
Cynthia Bailey
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And then we put that on together. And then Shane. Right. And rza, then we'll put whatever sunscreen or sunblock you want on top of.
Cynthia Bailey
The S. And you go to gloicima.net.
Jeff Lewis
No gloisima.com. stop trying to confuse me.
Michael Beck
She said it's like the south of France in a bottle.
Patrick Simpson
It is having sex on your face.
Jeff Lewis
That's what you look like. That glow. Look at that glow on Rizza's face.
Patrick Simpson
You guys, it smells amazing. Thank you. And my face feels very tight, very fresh.
Jeff Lewis
Not tight.
Michael Beck
You look like somebody just had sex on your face in the south of France.
Jeff Lewis
You just had sex with your trainer on my face.
Cynthia Bailey
It's your trainer in a bottle. We have all been waiting, because I know you've had your. You know, you've had your history and your past with Patrick and Paul.
Michael Beck
Yes.
Cynthia Bailey
And then, you know, Reza had a little bit. You know, there's a little bit of a blip at Chump Con.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
And what I'm very, very. To hear that you guys have really squashed the beef.
Patrick Simpson
It's squashed.
Cynthia Bailey
Okay, so what happened?
Patrick Simpson
So Patrick, who literally is on top of shit like, no one I've ever seen, hit me up, was like, what's your availability? He follows up with me. He sent me a Google invite to a lunch that we booked, and I ended up going to their shop, their beautiful store in Beverly Hills on Daytona. They have. I walked in, and Paul was literally.
Cynthia Bailey
Beautiful as a stretch, but okay.
Patrick Simpson
Paul was on the ground.
Michael Beck
We don't go upstairs.
Jeff Lewis
You guys are awful.
Patrick Simpson
I'm. I'm. Hello. I had to be. I don't want to be.
Cynthia Bailey
It's the best location. It is a good location. You got to give it that.
Jeff Lewis
It is.
Patrick Simpson
She's been there for 35 years, and.
Jeff Lewis
They'Ve been there for a long time.
Patrick Simpson
Huge accomplishment.
Cynthia Bailey
I think. Anna, be gorgeous if you just took the dresses out.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, I'm gonna take over the show now. Rza. Jeff has lost his mind.
Michael Beck
I'm not doing this today.
Patrick Simpson
Continue the story.
Jeff Lewis
Jeff is on one today.
Patrick Simpson
I walk in, and literally, Paul is on the floor with these scissors that are there for, like, wrists to, like, cut the foreskin off. These are the biggest scissors I've ever seen. He's cutting a dress. We end up walking to a beautiful restaurant around the corner on Canon.
Cynthia Bailey
What was the restaurant?
Patrick Simpson
Novatikvo. Or I forget, actually give.
Cynthia Bailey
Give Cynthia the name. She'll pronounce It.
Patrick Simpson
What's it called? It's right there. There you go.
Jeff Lewis
What is it called?
Cynthia Bailey
It's actually a great picture of you.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, that's an awesome picture.
Reza Farahan
Is it Nova Cove?
Patrick Simpson
There you go.
Reza Farahan
You have the selfie light. I'm sorry?
Patrick Simpson
Nova Cove.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, did you have the selfie light?
Jeff Lewis
Nova Cove?
Patrick Simpson
No.
Reza Farahan
What?
Cynthia Bailey
That's natural light.
Michael Beck
Have a fan? Yeah, there's a fan. Doing it.
Reza Farahan
Trying something new with this hair.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah, the hair is going all the.
Michael Beck
Way to the wind blown.
Cynthia Bailey
It's his left, my right.
Patrick Simpson
I had the best time. Oh, my God, Patrick. Who comes through like a ninja. Novikov. He texted me.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, no, no. They're on it.
Patrick Simpson
They are on it. I had the best time with them. As it turns out, Pola and I have a lot in common about being Middle Eastern and having negativity around coming out and being gay. We bonded, we laughed. We talked shit. We laughed some more. We bonded some more. It was a very long. I had the best time with them.
Cynthia Bailey
Great.
Patrick Simpson
We walked back to the store and then I went on my way. But I enjoyed their company so much. I connected with them. Had the chance to really enjoy their company.
Cynthia Bailey
You'll find they'll become very good friends. They really are good guys. Now, let me ask you this. Did you do a coffee read while you were there?
Patrick Simpson
I'm very bitter. I did not get a coffee read. I didn't.
Cynthia Bailey
That's why you went.
Patrick Simpson
No, I went to enjoy lunch with them, but they said no one goes.
Cynthia Bailey
To enjoy lunch with them. You want a coffee read?
Patrick Simpson
Well, both. Patrick did say you're gonna come back and do our podcast and we'll do a coffee read. So I'm gonna hopefully get invited to do the podcast so then Paul can do a coffee read for me.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't get the read.
Patrick Simpson
I didn't get it yet. It's coming yet.
Cynthia Bailey
Okay.
Patrick Simpson
So I'm hoping that, you know, the friendship continues beyond the one lunch at Novikov and I got my read.
Cynthia Bailey
Wait't you get the bill for $500.
Patrick Simpson
They treated. They treated.
Cynthia Bailey
No, I mean the coffee.
Jeff Lewis
I think the first read is free.
Patrick Simpson
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, I think. I don't want to speak for them, but I only did it once and it was free. But I agree.
Reza Farahan
You're on their podcast.
Jeff Lewis
I did the podcast. I think it comes with the podcast.
Reza Farahan
If you're on the podcast.
Cynthia Bailey
True. No, it's true, right? Yeah.
Reza Farahan
They won't charge you if you're on the podcast.
Patrick Simpson
Yeah, I had branzino. It Was delicious. Paul and I actually ended up ordering the exact same thing at lunch.
Cynthia Bailey
I've never seen that hairstyle on him. So was it off putting? What? Cause all the hair looks like you took a blow dryer and he blew it all to the left. So it's. All the hair is kind of leaning to the left.
Jeff Lewis
But what's interesting is no one else's hair is moving except his right.
Cynthia Bailey
No, it's true.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
No, I think it's.
Michael Beck
He stuck his head out the window.
Cynthia Bailey
While driving and the took hairspray. And the took hairspray. So was it like that the whole lunch?
Patrick Simpson
The whole time? It didn't move. And you can go to Polar Patrique's Instagram and see it at patriksimpson. Ola too.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
So did it ever. It wasn't distracting. We were talking to him.
Patrick Simpson
The conversation was flowing. There was so much going on. We were connecting and bonding.
Cynthia Bailey
But there's gotta be a part of you that thought, this is weird, this hairstyle.
Patrick Simpson
I mean, I grew up during the 80s. I know about Flock of Seagulls. Why would it be weird?
Cynthia Bailey
You're right. Right. I loved Flock of seagulls in the 80s. I still love Flock of Seagulls.
Patrick Simpson
I do too. I listen to K Earth every morning.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, to Jeff's point, though, I've never seen him wear his hair like that before.
Cynthia Bailey
No, I think he was probably trying something new. It was experimental.
Reza Farahan
How were the pleases and thank yous at the table?
Patrick Simpson
They were free flowing.
Reza Farahan
Good.
Patrick Simpson
Really? They were on their best behavior. It was free flowing. I had a great time.
Michael Beck
You look good in that picture.
Patrick Simpson
Thank you very much.
Michael Beck
You look great in that picture. And you look good right now. You look like.
Jeff Lewis
But Reza, can I say you are a very.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Can I just give Reza a compliment and give him his flowers? You are a very, very good looking man.
Patrick Simpson
Thank you very much. Cynthia Bailey. Coming from a supermodel, that's a huge compliment.
Jeff Lewis
Well, thank you. And let me say this. You have age. Like, I think you get better as you get older.
Cynthia Bailey
You do.
Jeff Lewis
Like, you're gonna be like, beautiful for a long time.
Patrick Simpson
Thank you. I'm taking you everywhere with.
Jeff Lewis
Let's go to. What's the name of that place?
Patrick Simpson
Novikov.
Jeff Lewis
Let's go to Novikov.
Patrick Simpson
It's beautiful. Actually. It's a gorgeous restaurant. And they have a lunch special. You get two. You get a two course lunch special for $37. For $2, $39. You get dessert. But my father and dessert. If you do Two more dollars, you get dessert.
Cynthia Bailey
I don't have the points.
Reza Farahan
I want dessert.
Patrick Simpson
Exactly. I didn't eat dessert. I did not eat dessert.
Cynthia Bailey
Well, I have. There is a Weight Watchers hack that someone sent me.
Reza Farahan
You're not even on it yet. Why would you hack this?
Jeff Lewis
Okay, okay.
Cynthia Bailey
Because I'm worried I don't have enough.
Jeff Lewis
So what's happening with Weight Watchers?
Cynthia Bailey
Well, I'm also probably going to work with Weight Watchers. Right, but you've got a point system, as you know.
Jeff Lewis
Yes, of course.
Cynthia Bailey
So someone told me that if I told Weight Watchers I'm diabetic, I get 5 extra points a day.
Reza Farahan
You're not diabetic.
Patrick Simpson
We're not doing that.
Cynthia Bailey
God forbid I need those five extra points.
Patrick Simpson
We gotta come up with a better way. You gotta have a cheating.
Jeff Lewis
You're like. Before you even started.
Cynthia Bailey
You're already. What's five more points?
Jeff Lewis
I don't like your attitude. I'm already going into it. You're already going into it with the wrong attitude. I've done it for, like, three months now.
Cynthia Bailey
26 points is not enough. 24 is not enough.
Patrick Simpson
Is that why you look so good?
Jeff Lewis
You don't even eat breakfast. Do you eat breakfast? He had a Pop Tart.
Patrick Simpson
He ate a Pop Tart.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, well, you gotta eat Pop Tarts.
Patrick Simpson
Jameson, how many points is a Pop Tart?

Michael Beck
Oh, no, the icing.
Patrick Simpson
And it had icing.
Jeff Lewis
You were talking about that cinnamon, and.
Michael Beck
That'S gonna get your blood sugar up. You can't do that because you're diabetic.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, that's true. Yeah.
Patrick Simpson
You can have a standard Pop Tart. Typically has eight. Eight or nine points.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, Javier Day. That's already. That only leaves you with, what, like, 18 points left or something? Like, I don't.
Cynthia Bailey
Shit. I'm going to Javier's Child.
Jeff Lewis
You can only have, like, a salad with no dressing.
Patrick Simpson
Ain't no drinks happening.
Jeff Lewis
You have to. You have to identify your. No, your. No points foods. Okay, I'll help you with this.
Cynthia Bailey
I got my kid tonight. I gotta have at least one drink.
Jeff Lewis
Well, have you started? This has started already.
Cynthia Bailey
Well, I'm getting used. I'm getting, like, ready.
Jeff Lewis
Are you, like, prepping for it?
Cynthia Bailey
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
When is it actually start? Because I can. I can walk you through this.
Cynthia Bailey
Soon. I need more than 20. What is it, 24 points?
Reza Farahan
Well, you haven't actually done your intake yet, so maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Maybe they'll offer you more points.
Jeff Lewis
Well, how much are you trying to lose?
Michael Beck
He has a high intake, I think.
Jeff Lewis
How much. How much weight are you trying to lose?
Cynthia Bailey
10.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. That's like 5 of it is like water retention.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Do you retain a lot of water?
Cynthia Bailey
Probably not.
Michael Beck
You're a big fluctuator though. You lose taste all the time.
Jeff Lewis
I'm a fluctuator.
Patrick Simpson
Me too.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah, it's. I'll fluctuate.
Jeff Lewis
You're a fluctuator.
Cynthia Bailey
I'm totally well pounds in a week.
Jeff Lewis
Shane is the only one that's not. You're not a fluctuator.
Patrick Simpson
Hello. As young as he is, he can eat a cow. Nothing's gonna happen.
Cynthia Bailey
I don't know. He. You. You're careful about what you eat.
Reza Farahan
Oh yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
Portion wise?
Reza Farahan
Yeah. No. I saw a TikTok where she was like just eat half of what you want to eat. And I was like, okay.
Jeff Lewis
Well yeah, okay. I mean that could.
Michael Beck
Wife had Taco Bell twice this week.
Cynthia Bailey
I love Taco Bell. It's been a while. We were talking about that. You and I bonding this morning over.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, that was like my first job.
Reza Farahan
Taco Bell.
Cynthia Bailey
Taco Bell. Did you get free food?
Jeff Lewis
I did.
Michael Beck
What did you do there?
Jeff Lewis
Well, that we were supposed to get. I won't say that.
Patrick Simpson
They're not gonna come back after you for the free Taco Bell.
Cynthia Bailey
Cynthia.
Jeff Lewis
They come back in my ass now. I'm on TV now.
Michael Beck
Did you make the burritos?
Jeff Lewis
I was like, I did everything. I started all. I did all the different stations but you know, I'm like a perfectionist and an overachiever. So I really. And I moved up. I was like a manager in like 3 months and then I had to.
Michael Beck
Like leave and I've always wanted to shoot this out, go to New York.
Jeff Lewis
And start my life.
Michael Beck
Yeah, they had the gun that.
Cynthia Bailey
She said your first job was Taco Bell. I thought it was a modeling job.
Jeff Lewis
No, no, no. My first job.
Cynthia Bailey
You actually worked drive thru.
Jeff Lewis
I did all of it. Drive thru the counter.
Reza Farahan
Shout out to my drive thru squad.
Jeff Lewis
I love the drive through squad. I did all of it and I moved up very quickly.
Reza Farahan
Welcome to dq. Order whenever you're ready. That was me.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah, that was you.
Reza Farahan
Yeah, that was you for sure. If you drive through that bitch, I'm on the other side.
Jeff Lewis
You know my favorite was. And they took them off the menu. I don't know. And then I felt like they brought them back. Did you guys love the Mexican pizzas? They were so good. They're back.
Michael Beck
They're back and they're delicious. That's my favorite.
Jeff Lewis
Really?
Michael Beck
Oh, my God. So good. Favorite thing. They used to have an enchirito, which was like a burrito.
Patrick Simpson
It was my favorite thing. Love the enchiritos.
Michael Beck
I dm Taco Bell about it. I was like, bring that bitch back.
Patrick Simpson
That was like, shit.
Michael Beck
So good.
Patrick Simpson
I love it.
Michael Beck
Like a burrito in a thing with, like, enchilada sauce on top and melted cheese.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I've had that too. Why do you think they take the good stuff away like that?
Reza Farahan
So they talk about it forever.
Jeff Lewis
Why don't they take it away if it's so good?
Patrick Simpson
Have you seen the toothless lady in the car with her friend eating the Taco Bell with the big cheez it in it? And they're talking about bringing the Mexican pizza back? Like, why are you trying to us over with this big old cheez it? We just want the Mexican pizza.
Michael Beck
Amen. Amen.
Reza Farahan
I'm hungry.
Michael Beck
Yeah?
Jeff Lewis
I don't know.
Cynthia Bailey
You know we're having lunch today.
Jeff Lewis
Where?
Cynthia Bailey
Javier's Riviera Country Club. We're gonna have to get a Cobb salad. I want to go to Taco Bell.
Reza Farahan
I love a cob. I love a country cup Cobb salad. I'm really excited for that.
Cynthia Bailey
I'd rather be a Taco Bell.
Michael Beck
That was probably more points than Taco Bell.
Cynthia Bailey
You're right.
Patrick Simpson
How was Carney Wilson's feast that she made you?
Cynthia Bailey
That was incredible.
Patrick Simpson
Was it the best guacamole ever?
Cynthia Bailey
It was pretty damn good. It was a chunky guac, which I love. She did chicken and beef fajitas and quesadillas and chips. Guacamole and fresh pico de gallo.
Michael Beck
What was this for?
Jeff Lewis
Fresh.
Cynthia Bailey
What she does. We have an agreement.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
When I go there to help her with the kitchen, she feeds me. So we had to do cabinet hardware. So if you guys are looking at all of her stories, which I told her to chill out, which she is, we're doing all the cabinet hardware. It was $9200. Cabinet hardware.
Michael Beck
Holy shit.
Cynthia Bailey
She's got a lot of cabinets. Lot of cabinets. The poles and the knobs.
Michael Beck
$9200.
Cynthia Bailey
Is that insane?
Jeff Lewis
I need to see these cabinets.
Patrick Simpson
There they are right there. Look up.
Reza Farahan
So many doors.
Cynthia Bailey
But see how she has no hardware yet? No appliances, no hardware, no plumbing fixtures yet.
Michael Beck
Wow, that's gorgeous.
Cynthia Bailey
The Color is really pretty in person.
Jeff Lewis
She's gorgeous.
Patrick Simpson
I'm taking those knobs with me when I leave.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Patrick Simpson
I'm replacing. No, you won't need. You wouldn't even know. I'd replace them with some Home Depot before it goes on the market.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, you wouldn't just exclude it in the listing agreement?
Michael Beck
No, don't invite Reza over it. He's gonna be taking your knobs.
Patrick Simpson
You guys. As soon as you tell someone in a listing agreement something's excluded, guess what they want. The thing that you're excluding.
Cynthia Bailey
Reza. You have to accompany Mercedes just one day for showings. It's like if Cynthia was a real estate agent.
Patrick Simpson
Why did I catch a stray? Why are you trying.
Jeff Lewis
Why did I catch a stray?
Patrick Simpson
It has nothing to do with real estate.
Jeff Lewis
You did not have to use me for the example.
Cynthia Bailey
She's so ill prepared, and I just.
Michael Beck
She just makes it up on the spot.
Cynthia Bailey
It is the funniest fucking thing you've ever heard.
Jeff Lewis
I feel very attached.
Patrick Simpson
I love mj. We're in such a good place. Why are you doing this to me?
Michael Beck
She owns it, though.
Cynthia Bailey
But the sweetest thing is, I think the most entertaining thing is when you have someone like Brogan who's just, like, trying to help, you know, because he knows she's just struggling. And then what was so. She was the. So the. Your favorite comment was the printer thing.
Reza Farahan
There were shelves in the den, and she was like, this is perfect for, like, if you print at home, if you work from home, it's a perfect.
Cynthia Bailey
Place for a printer.
Reza Farahan
Do you print? And he's like, you know what? We don't, but I'll get one.
Cynthia Bailey
He's, like, helping her.
Patrick Simpson
He's sweet.
Jeff Lewis
I think she just overthinks before she says it.
Michael Beck
I think it's actually a smart thing because, like, most real estate agents, they're just. They're liars anyway. They're just trying to, like, make the house seem better than it is.
Cynthia Bailey
She doesn't lie.
Michael Beck
And she tries to make it nice.
Jeff Lewis
She's not.
Cynthia Bailey
But here's the thing. Like, she won't flat out say, I don't know, the square footage. She'll be like, look over here.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, it's like a deflection smokescreen.
Cynthia Bailey
And then we're like, okay, so, like, we now know. She doesn't know. But what she probably should say is, you know, let me check on that.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, let me get that.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, my God, what beautiful bookshelves. Wait a minute.
Patrick Simpson
Are you at the property that you're looking At. And you're saying, how many squares is this? Okay.
Cynthia Bailey
And she doesn't know. But it's funny.
Patrick Simpson
I mean, yeah, no, but.
Reza Farahan
But it's good for us because Jeff and I know, like, we've already done the research. We already know, but we ask anybody, whatever information's available.
Cynthia Bailey
It's like, Cynthia, like, we're testing.
Jeff Lewis
Stop bringing me up.
Patrick Simpson
But luckily, now he's in escrow and so he. She won't have to know any more square footage.
Cynthia Bailey
Right. And she knows a lot about that condo because we've been. We've made four offers. We've seen it twice. We've. So she knows a lot, a lot about that condo. And I love that.
Reza Farahan
Yeah.
Patrick Simpson
Hi. Valet parking.
Cynthia Bailey
Hello, Doorman.
Patrick Simpson
Concierge.
Cynthia Bailey
Hello, building. Oh, it's like the New York lifestyle.
Patrick Simpson
Yes, Hunty. Oh, it's a no riff raff getting in there.
Reza Farahan
Where's to come work out of my gym.
Michael Beck
You have your own gym.
Jeff Lewis
So wait, you made four offers? Like, how come? Like, what's happening with that?
Cynthia Bailey
Like, it's in escrow.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, it's happening.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah. But we had to. It took a long time. We went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And then we had to wait for reductions and we had to do all that. But.
Patrick Simpson
But it's a great deal. Amazing deal. Like, talk about the dynamic duo and MJ coming through on.
Cynthia Bailey
She did come through.
Patrick Simpson
A unit owned by an asset manager. Like, you know, if you're buying from an asset manager, you're getting a good motherfucking deal. Like, later on, someone's gonna benefit from, you know, someone else fucking up.
Michael Beck
Is it West Hollywood?
Cynthia Bailey
Did you hear about the good for you comments?
Patrick Simpson
No.
Cynthia Bailey
What you tell us about the sun deck.
Reza Farahan
So it's on the second floor, so the balcony is pretty much in the trees.
Patrick Simpson
But it's very high up for a second floor because the lobby has massive.
Reza Farahan
Ceilings and there's a first floor and so it's on the side. So it's called two, but it's basically three.
Cynthia Bailey
There's a lot of vegetation around and you have to be like on the fifth floor or something to clear the trees.
Patrick Simpson
Yes.
Reza Farahan
And so we're on the balcony she's showing me. She's like, this is perfect for sunbathing, but it's like she's sticking her head in the tree.
Patrick Simpson
But that building has a gorgeous pool area.
Reza Farahan
No, I'm not sunbathing on my balcony. I'll be down in my brand new pool.
Patrick Simpson
Yeah, there's a gorgeous pool area. Yes, yes, Come on. For a chump barbecue, west side of the building.
Michael Beck
Wow.
Patrick Simpson
Yes.
Reza Farahan
And there's laundry on our floor, but, like, it's also where the trash chute is, but we didn't know that. So she was showing us the laundry, and she was going to show Brogan. She opened the door. She's like, oh, my God, that stinks. To smell this. I was like, no, I don't.
Patrick Simpson
Oh, my God, I love it.
Michael Beck
That's hilarious.
Cynthia Bailey
Let me ask you this. Why are you limping?
Michael Beck
I tore my hamstring, I think.
Jeff Lewis
Doing what I.
Michael Beck
Well, I was in Palm Springs over the weekend for Memorial Day for my best girlfriend's bachelorette party.
Cynthia Bailey
This is a messy medical story.
Michael Beck
It's the first one in a long time, you know, I hadn't been drinking. This is my first weekend of, like, actually, like, drinking again. And, like, we made a pact where, like, we're going in hard, and I.
Jeff Lewis
How long were you on the wagon? Is it on the wagon or off the wagon when you stopped?
Michael Beck
I was on the wagon since, like, January.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Michael Beck
I had, like, at Chumquan, I had, like, one or two shots and a drink, I think. But this was my first time, like.
Jeff Lewis
Going hard, like, going in. Okay.
Michael Beck
Thank God. It was the last night of the trip. I stepped. I went to step, and I stepped in a puddle of water.
Cynthia Bailey
But what were you about to do, a dance move?
Michael Beck
Well, I don't know if I was doing a dance move. I was. I used to be really limber, and I used to be able to do the splits. So I was, like, pretending that I was gonna go down into the splits, but when I stepped, I stepped into water. A puddle of water that I didn't know was there. I dropped to the ground like a drag queen. Like my death pop. Jesse popped on the ground. That's how it's low. Oh, my gosh. And I tore everything instantly.
Jeff Lewis
So you went down to a full split?
Patrick Simpson
A pussy pop. Full split.
Michael Beck
Full split. And I had to be carried out. The emergency exit. Oh, yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
Right. To urgent care.
Michael Beck
Oh, yeah.
Patrick Simpson
Why was there a puddle at the bar?
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, God.
Michael Beck
And I get in the car to drive to go back to the house. Cause I had to get my leg up. And I get a text from my friend who lives in Atlanta. Hey, I heard that you fell in the middle of the bar. Are you okay? I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Word travels that fast. Somebody in the bar knew me and was texting people, so.
Cynthia Bailey
Well, at least you still have your teeth. Because the last you know, There was a time where we went out. He lost a tooth.
Michael Beck
Yeah, yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
Did you fell off a platform?
Michael Beck
We're not going down this narrative again.
Jeff Lewis
No, no, let's go down this narrative.
Cynthia Bailey
But you fell off a platform and you broke your tooth.
Michael Beck
I did fall off.
Patrick Simpson
Were you working?
Michael Beck
I lost my tooth.
Jeff Lewis
Were you working at the bar then?
Michael Beck
No, that time. That was the time after Luann's cabaret that Jeff and I went out, and I. Somehow, I don't really remember, but the next day I woke up and my Mueller was missing.
Jeff Lewis
Oh.
Michael Beck
So something happened between the bar and home that I lost my molar. That was you?
Cynthia Bailey
I wouldn't blame it on drinking. I think it's a coincidence.
Michael Beck
Yeah, that was a coincidence. That one.
Cynthia Bailey
Totally.
Reza Farahan
That was old Michael.
Patrick Simpson
Did you find the molar?
Michael Beck
No, never found it.
Reza Farahan
Do you think you swallowed it?
Cynthia Bailey
No, no, I don't think so. Someone else.
Patrick Simpson
Oh, my God.
Michael Beck
That was the old me.
Patrick Simpson
What did they say at urgent care?
Michael Beck
So they did an X ray, and they said it's seems like either a tear or a pull. I'm gonna go get an MRI today.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, wow. Well, I'm glad your private parts were okay.
Patrick Simpson
Yeah. Is your hoo ha still working?
Cynthia Bailey
What about your balls?
Michael Beck
Still working?
Cynthia Bailey
Cause that could have been.
Michael Beck
That could have been bad this morning. Still working.
Cynthia Bailey
Okay. Oh, good to know.
Reza Farahan
Shout out.
Michael Beck
Austin.
Cynthia Bailey
Patrick was on the phone for a second. What happened to him?
Reza Farahan
Oh, he was there on for, like, 20 minutes. I think he just dropped.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, we want to promote their coffee reads, by the way.
Reza Farahan
Yeah, they're going to be in New York same time that we are next week. June, I think.
Cynthia Bailey
4Th through the 8th, Wednesday to Sunday.
Reza Farahan
Pola2.Com from their hotel in New York City.
Cynthia Bailey
Because they're on the radio on Friday and they're doing coffee reads.
Patrick Simpson
Oh, Patrick texted me.
Cynthia Bailey
They're staying in midtown, I think.
Patrick Simpson
Patrick said I had an audition to play an 80s serial killer afterwards. That's why my hair was that way.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, that's cool. I wonder. He should have gotten it. I wonder if he got it.
Cynthia Bailey
Well, isn't that something you should tell some? Like when you're sitting down at lunch and your hair looks freakish, right? You got to say, I have an audition afterwards. Yeah, you're just waiting for the question.
Reza Farahan
He wanted you to ask.
Patrick Simpson
Did he? For sure, I was trying to make things right. I was not about to ask a question that could go left.
Cynthia Bailey
When you started dating Zetty.
Patrick Simpson
Yes.
Cynthia Bailey
Did you kind of go underground like Michael Beck does in a relationship?
Patrick Simpson
No. Because when I Started dating Zeddi. He is currently 10 and a half years younger than I am. And I was worried, like, people were gonna think I was some, like, pervert or whatever. And she was. And I was like, we're just hanging out. So I would just tell people would be like, who's the guy? I'm like, oh, that's Zeddi. We're just hanging out. And finally he got irritated. He's like, bitch, we are not hanging out. We are dating. I'm seeing you, you're seeing me. We are not hanging out. That's what bros do. We have sex and we're dating and you're not seeing other people and you're not allowed to, and I won't either. And that's that. He put his foot down.
Cynthia Bailey
Because I've only known you for a few years, but you've had two relationships since I've known you.
Michael Beck
Right.
Cynthia Bailey
First one was probably about six months.
Michael Beck
Yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
And then this one. How long has it been going on?
Michael Beck
We're about six months right now.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah. He goes underground. He disappears.
Patrick Simpson
But I support this time going underground because apparently this one is a Harvard lawyer or a Yale lawyer or some.
Michael Beck
Harvard law.
Patrick Simpson
Harvard.
Cynthia Bailey
Was he there?
Jeff Lewis
He's amazing.
Cynthia Bailey
Was he there when you did the splits?
Michael Beck
He was not. He was.
Patrick Simpson
Thank God.
Michael Beck
Yeah, he was not.
Cynthia Bailey
So he didn't see Messy Michael.
Michael Beck
This was like a girls weekend.
Patrick Simpson
Two girls, Michael.
Michael Beck
No, this one's a keeper. And I'm in love. So I'm just like, in my honeymoon phase.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, and you're Instagram official.
Michael Beck
We're Instagram official. And. But also it's twofold because I'm like, I'm in a new relationship. Also, you know, I'm working on Vanderpump right now, and there's a shit ton of pressure on that show and a lot of eyes. So I just wanted to be, like, clear minded. And whenever I hang out with you outside of work, I'm not clear minded.
Cynthia Bailey
Don't blame me on this. Well, you're just a lot more fun when you're not in a relationship.
Patrick Simpson
Once he gets his points, you won't have to worry. Once he gets the points, he'll know, like, 24 is ambitious. I'm thinking it might be somewhere closer to 22.
Cynthia Bailey
It's 29 because I am diabetic.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, going back to that, you're gonna have to cut out alcohol because that has a lot of points.
Cynthia Bailey
Unless you just eat less.
Reza Farahan
You would sooner cut out food.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
No, but you can't have, like, yummy cocktails and stuff.
Cynthia Bailey
No, no, I don't need that. I can do. I can do it straight cut. A little soda. I could do it in lime. I can do tequila on the rock.
Patrick Simpson
No.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah.
Reza Farahan
Commissario.
Jeff Lewis
Commissario with that tequila. Make sure. Commissarial, please.
Cynthia Bailey
Sure. Okay.
Reza Farahan
It's fewer points.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Cynthia Bailey
So how long you been doing it? Weight Watchers.
Jeff Lewis
Weight Watchers. I did it for three months. I'm actually on. I'm at the end of it now.
Cynthia Bailey
So do you know will I become familiar? Know every. Like, this is two points. This is four points.
Jeff Lewis
Well, you will have.
Cynthia Bailey
I'm gonna be obsessed.
Jeff Lewis
Brand new relationship with food.
Reza Farahan
Do you have or how do you track it?
Cynthia Bailey
I love my relationship with food.
Jeff Lewis
On the phone. You have to download the Weight Watchers app.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And then you can literally.
Cynthia Bailey
You have to do that for me, Shane, Everything.
Michael Beck
Are we allowed to talk about Weight Watcher Attack?
Jeff Lewis
Which one?
Cynthia Bailey
Tell me. The other hack.
Michael Beck
The other hack. You know, if you don't hit the points, then they just.
Cynthia Bailey
What you gotta say they go away.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. What are you talking about?
Michael Beck
They have their own JLP one.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. Yeah. Okay, so now you brought that up.
Michael Beck
Then you get the shot. They have a shot for you.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, well, no, let me. Okay, that's the short version. So the way it works is once you start your new conversation with food and you do the program and then you lose. Because you will lose if you do the program. Like my goal was 50 pounds, which was super ambitious of me. I literally lost like 25.
Cynthia Bailey
Okay, that's great.
Jeff Lewis
In three months, which is still a lot for three months, really, just from points. But then what happens is like, what will. I won't speak for the everyone in the world that's been on Weight Watchers, but for me, I like started to plateau. And that's normal. That's like a normal thing. Especially at my age because nothing's moving. I'm like on the other side of menopause. So. No, Weight Watchers has their own semiglutide clinical stuff that you have to talk to the nurse and the dietitian, blah, blah, blah. And then if they feel like you are a candidate, then they will. Then they will give you the shots to get over the hump, to get the next spin.
Cynthia Bailey
Well, I just go straight to the shots. I'm on the other side of Manibus.
Jeff Lewis
No, because what happens then you have to stay on the shot because you didn't have the new relationship with yourself.
Patrick Simpson
You're right.
Cynthia Bailey
I need a new relationship.
Jeff Lewis
And you didn't.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, but with food. With food. Okay. Yes.
Jeff Lewis
With the food. Like, you will immediately, like, I'm serious. I'm serious. Like, you will. When the food comes in, like, you will automatically look at the menu with, like, new eyes. You'll be like, okay, if I'm gonna have the burger, I'll have, like, the lettuce version of it. Instead of the bun.
Cynthia Bailey
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Or I'll just have half of it. If you just have to have the bun.
Reza Farahan
Split seeds.
Jeff Lewis
You don't have to. Like, the great thing about Weight Watchers is you don't have to give up this stuff. You just can't eat a lot of it. Like, I would do half of a turkey burger.
Cynthia Bailey
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And, like, instead of all of the fries, I do, like, 12 fries.
Cynthia Bailey
Do you ever do this? And you probably don't do this, but maybe you do. I eat so fast that all of a sudden, three tacos are gone, and I probably could have just had two and been fully satisfied.
Michael Beck
That's. That's our problem. Like, even, like, during, like, when we were shooting and we would all go to lunch, we would, like, sit down, and within, like, 15 minutes, we'd be done. We'd scarf down our food, and we'd have burgers and fries and all that. And then we get to set and.
Cynthia Bailey
Be like, food coma.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but you only have, like, 30 minutes to eat, probably. Do you guys get, like, an hour or 30 minutes, kind of.
Cynthia Bailey
What? Yeah, but I have two minutes.
Michael Beck
But he rushes us.
Jeff Lewis
You should eat slow, they say. I know, like. Like Brogan with class.
Reza Farahan
And he was a kid who told me last night where they told them, like, to take as, like, mindful eating. They taught this to him. Like, you take the tiniest little bites. That's why.
Jeff Lewis
And then you chew it, like, a lot.
Reza Farahan
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And let it really, like, liquefy like a lady.
Patrick Simpson
And if you drink lots of water in between your bites, you get full faster.
Jeff Lewis
It's true.
Cynthia Bailey
How many points is water?
Patrick Simpson
Zero.
Cynthia Bailey
I'll have a lot of water.
Michael Beck
Then Austin will take an hour to have a meal. Like, it's.
Jeff Lewis
He chews really slow.
Cynthia Bailey
That's annoying.
Michael Beck
Yeah, it's kind of annoying because I'm, like, such a fast eater, and I'm, like, on to the next thing.
Jeff Lewis
I'm a fast eater.
Michael Beck
He just sits and he takes his time to converse.
Cynthia Bailey
Ty's a slower eater than me. I'm like, let's go. And he hasn't finished, actually admire it.
Jeff Lewis
But, yeah, it's hard to eat slow. It's Way easier. Like, it. Like, if you. Have you guys really tried eating slow? It's very difficult.
Patrick Simpson
It's hard. MJ eats slow. She's a grazer. She'll take a little bit. A little nibble, and we're all done. And MJ has.
Jeff Lewis
And she's still doing it.
Patrick Simpson
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Like, my guy Prince is like. He'll eat, like, half, and he's like. He likes to, like, eat the other half later. He's.
Cynthia Bailey
He's lean.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. And he's like a skinny.
Michael Beck
There's no other.
Patrick Simpson
He bought a sandwich for Ty and.
Cynthia Bailey
Why are you doing that? Yes, I did.
Reza Farahan
Go ahead.
Patrick Simpson
We're the sage. And he didn't even eat half the sandwich. He ate the whole sandwich and then told Ty that.
Cynthia Bailey
Listen, I didn't. Shouldn't have told him.
Patrick Simpson
I did get. I was thinking of you, but unfortunately, I hate it.
Michael Beck
It's a thought that counts.
Patrick Simpson
Totally.
Cynthia Bailey
Christina, New Jersey. She's very interested in the Egypt trip.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Patrick Simpson
All right.
Cynthia Bailey
Hi, Christine.
Jeff Lewis
Egypt is not happening. Jeff made sure that that did not happen that trip.
Cynthia Bailey
But try gloissimo. It's like Egypt in a bottle.
Jeff Lewis
Really?
Cynthia Bailey
Christine, you really. You really wanted to go to Egypt? Yes, I did. And actually, well, you were the only one I tried to get. No, they told me when I called to make the reservation that it was full up. And I said, oh, I waited a week, or whatever it was, because we heard you talk about it a couple of times. Let's face it. And. Hi, everybody.
Jeff Lewis
Hi. So when you called it, it was full.
Cynthia Bailey
They were trying to save face.
Jeff Lewis
That must have been a baby trip.
Cynthia Bailey
No, I'm telling you, I would have gone. It was a good deal. Yeah, that's a good deal.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you.
Cynthia Bailey
We did that with Chubcon.
Patrick Simpson
We're sold out.
Michael Beck
Sold out. No more tickets left.
Jeff Lewis
I feel like you may be confusing. I think you may be confusing my Egypt trip with someone else's Egypt trip, but, yeah, I appreciate. Well, there'll be a fact that you wanted to support Jeff sabotaging it.
Cynthia Bailey
Christine, what would be great for you better than Egypt? Chump con 26.

Yeah.
Cynthia Bailey
So you're leaving when?
Michael Beck
I leave next week.
Cynthia Bailey
For Charleston, South Carolina? Yes, for next year. Can we say the show?
Michael Beck
I don't think so. I mean, people obviously know what it is, but I, I don't think it's been announced yet.
Cynthia Bailey
But it's probably something like Southern hospitality, maybe.
Michael Beck
I would assume it's in that family. Yes.
Cynthia Bailey
Okay. And you'll be gone for three months?
Michael Beck
Yeah, until the middle of September.

What do you do with that fancy, expensive apartment of yours while you're gone?

You are?
Michael Beck
Yeah, I'm getting rid of it.
Cynthia Bailey
I love that apartment. I know.
Jeff Lewis
I do too.
Michael Beck
I think when I get back in September, I think it's time for us and I to move in together.
Cynthia Bailey
That was my next question.
Reza Farahan
Are you putting your stuff in storage?
Michael Beck
I'm gonna put my stuff in storage.
Cynthia Bailey
I'm never gonna see Michael again next week.
Michael Beck
I'm putting my stuff in. I'm selling my car.
Jeff Lewis
What, the Porsche?
Michael Beck
The Porsche that we love? Yeah. I'm just kind of like getting rid of everything and starting fresh.
Jeff Lewis
Wow.
Michael Beck
When I get back, I want to get like a. I mean, I'm not. Listen, I'm not rushing the gun here, but like, I want to get a kid friendly car just in case in the future there's a child in my life.
Cynthia Bailey
Well, this seems to be really moving along quickly.
Michael Beck
Six months.
Cynthia Bailey
Let's get a house first.
Michael Beck
No, no, we're going to. We're going to we'll do everything the right way. I'm just. I'm just thinking future.
Cynthia Bailey
You mean you get married first before you have children?
Michael Beck
Yeah, I think so. Well, the other problem is I'm having trouble getting in and out of the Porsche. It's so low.
Jeff Lewis
It's low. I can't do. I stopped doing low stuff so bad on my.
Cynthia Bailey
But you can do the split so easily.
Michael Beck
Well, apparently not.
Jeff Lewis
I think that has to do.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, so you want to get a higher car?
Michael Beck
I have to get a higher car. I can't get out of that car.
Jeff Lewis
Like, I just had all my toilets higher. I don't like low toilets. Like, they have high ones.
Cynthia Bailey
I fall too.
Jeff Lewis
I hate those.
Cynthia Bailey
When I go to the toilet, I just fall.
Michael Beck
That's how I get into my car.
Jeff Lewis
Because you need the high ones. Make sure that the house has the high ones.
Cynthia Bailey
I was telling Shane, you know, I look at those Carrera Porsche Carreras on the road and they're so sexy. He'd have to. It'd take three people to pull me out of there.
Jeff Lewis
Literally.
Michael Beck
Literally. I have to hold onto the handle and like pull myself up.
Cynthia Bailey
Luckily, you can still do pull ups.
Michael Beck
Yeah, well, my arms.
Cynthia Bailey
I'm up to two now.
Michael Beck
Oh, look at you, Cynthia. Do they have high toilets at the Godfrey?
Jeff Lewis
They do.
Michael Beck
Oh, good.
Cynthia Bailey
Is that where you are?
Jeff Lewis
I am.
Cynthia Bailey
Oh, great. What room?
Jeff Lewis
Don't do it.
Cynthia Bailey
But if you do want to talk to Cynthia Bailey, just call the Godfrey Hotel in.
Jeff Lewis
No, stop. Because they really call me. I have checked out. It was a quick in and out, but I was. I had a hotel etiquette question and I think I actually listened. So I don't know if I'm gonna get in trouble. But anyway, long story short, so usually when I'm there, I'm like, I can be there for like two weeks sometimes. Yeah, sometimes even longer. So the last time I was there for like two weeks and I was there with my guy, like, we had like eight everywhere. And then we wanted to like heat up our food. So they don't have a microwave in my room.
Cynthia Bailey
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
So we went and got a microwave. It's only like 80 bucks. So now I just have them store a microwave in the storage. And then when I check in, I have them sitting the microwave up. If I'm gonna be there for like.
Cynthia Bailey
Two weeks, I honestly don't see anything wrong with that.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you.
Cynthia Bailey
You go there so often. You're an ambassador, for fuck's sake. Yeah, you should. You should have your own kitchen and.
Reza Farahan
You should have access to the sh.
Cynthia Bailey
To the chef's kitchen and your own parking spot.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, I guess I could ask to go in the kitchen to heat up my food at this point because I like live there.
Cynthia Bailey
Yeah, you live there. It's different. I think it's fine to even microwave.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I just put my name on it. I'm just like, when I check out, I take it, put it back in the box.
Cynthia Bailey
I think it's fine.
Michael Beck
Where do they put it in the room?
Jeff Lewis
Well, I don't know where they put it. I think they just put it in their storage somewhere.
Cynthia Bailey
No, no. When you in the room.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, in the room. Oh, in the room. Well, I have like a small desk that I don't really use because I'm never there. I just sleep there mostly and I put it on the desk.
Michael Beck
Dr. Don I would have.
Jeff Lewis
Best thing I ever did.
Michael Beck
Dr. Don I would have no room for that microwave.

Podcast Summary: Jeff Lewis Has Issues
Episode: Cynthia Bailey, Michael Beck, & Reza Farahan: Hamstrings & Microwaves
Release Date: June 11, 2025
In this vibrant episode of "Jeff Lewis Has Issues," host Jeff Lewis is joined by notable guests Cynthia Bailey, Michael Beck, and Reza Farahan. The trio delves into a variety of personal anecdotes, professional experiences, and light-hearted banter, showcasing the genuine chemistry and unfiltered conversations that fans have come to love from this series.
The episode kicks off with Cynthia Bailey orchestrating a reconciliation lunch between Reza Farahan and Patrick Simpson, aiming to mend past tensions and foster a stronger bond among the group.
Patrick Simpson shares:
"Polha and I have a lot in common about being Middle Eastern and dealing with negativity around coming out and being gay. We bonded, laughed, and really connected over lunch."
[03:26]
The discussion touches upon their shared experiences and the importance of understanding and support within their community.
Cynthia Bailey emphasizes the success of the reconciliation:
"We have been waiting because I know you've had your history and your past, and it's heartening to see the beef squashed."
[03:13]
A significant portion of the episode centers around Michael Beck recounting his recent injury—a torn hamstring sustained during a Memorial Day weekend bachelorette party.
Michael Beck narrates the incident:
"I was trying to do the splits, stepped into an unseen puddle, and tore everything instantly. I had to be carried out to urgent care."
[20:24]
Jeff Lewis humorously probes:
"So you went down to a full split?"
[20:46]
The conversation lightens as they reflect on past mishaps, including Michael losing a tooth in a previous incident:
"Was trying to keep things light, but somehow I lost my molar."
[21:50]
Michael discusses his recovery plan:
"They did an X-ray and suggested I might need an MRI today."
[22:13]
Cynthia Bailey offers support, teasing Michael about his ongoing anecdotes:
"Well, at least you still have your teeth. Because there was a time where you lost a tooth."
[21:26]
Cynthia Bailey shares her humorous yet relatable struggles with hotel amenities, particularly the absence of microwaves in her room.
Jeff Lewis recounts his own experience:
"We went and got a microwave for like $80 and now I just have them store it. When I check in, I have the microwave set up."
[38:09]
Cynthia critiques the hotel’s lack of convenience:
"It's ridiculous to not have a microwave, especially when you're staying for two weeks."
[38:08]
The group humorously discusses the practicality of having personal appliances in hotel rooms, blending their frustrations with laughter.
A lively segment unfolds around Weight Watchers, where the guests share their strategies, challenges, and insider tips for managing the program effectively.
Cynthia Bailey reveals a creative hack:
"Someone told me that if I tell Weight Watchers I'm diabetic, I get 5 extra points a day."
[09:23]
Jeff Lewis provides practical advice:
"What happens is once you start your new conversation with food and you lose, Weight Watchers has their own semaglutide clinical stuff to help you get over the hump."
[27:17]
Reza Farahan and Michael Beck discuss mindful eating techniques:
"Take the tiniest little bites and chew a lot to feel full faster."
[28:32]
The conversation highlights the balance between enjoying food and adhering to dietary goals, infused with humor and personal insights.
