Jeff Lewis Has Issues: Elisa Donovan & Doug Budin—Award & Jeff Jaw

Original Air Date: September 24, 2025
Host: Jeff Lewis (with recurring cast Doug Budin, Annie, Jameson, Alan Leech, Elisa Donovan, and guests Danny Hing and Ann Marie Williams)

---

Episode Overview

This lively episode features Elisa Donovan and Doug Budin as special guests, with a visit from West Hollywood City Council Member Danny Hing and Ann Marie Williams, Vice Chair of the Human Services Commission. The team discusses a major proclamation (not quite an "award") recognizing the show's support of local West Hollywood businesses. As always, Jeff and his crew veer into personal territory—from Doug's budding relationship potential with Danny, to behind-the-scenes work drama, to teenage heartbreak, health complaints, and the ever-revolving door of Jeff's romantic and neighborly "issues."

The episode is marked by the show's trademark wit, irreverent banter, and the dynamic chemistry of its cast of regulars.

• On-Air Presentation

  • Council Member Danny Hing and Ann Marie Williams join in-studio to present the proclamation, citing the team’s efforts to promote West Hollywood’s businesses and community spirit.

  • Ann Marie Williams: “I applaud you as a young woman to stand your ground professionally… all young women should be braver when asking for a raise and for money. You're setting a good example.” ([15:48])

  • Elisa: “Doug is going to be the first lady of West Hollywood.” ([23:38])
  • Banter about group dates, inviting the handsome former mayor, and dinner plans at local hotspots like Salty Girl, Cecconi’s, and Craig’s.

  • Elisa makes a parallel between Doug’s relationship and her daughter’s middle school romance, warning the group not to “pile on” so much that they scare Danny away ([39:08]).

---

6. Neighborhood, Fashion, and School Events

[47:28] – [50:27]

• Back to School Night Fashion Critique

  • Jeff rants about parents not dressing appropriately for back-to-school night, disparaging athletic wear and ill-considered fit for such events: “If I was at that door, I would have turned people away. I would say, go home and put on something appropriate.” ([47:43])
  • Doug agrees: “I am with you 100%.” ([48:40])

• The Irony of Costly Schools & Tutoring

[Doug]

When you're Jeff Lewis. The drama never stops.

[Jeff Lewis]

Dog said it was dumb, but maybe I'm dumb because I enjoy it.

[Ann Marie Williams]

Maybe I'm just talking about the news.

[Jeff Lewis]

We don't talk about the news here.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

No, just sex.

[Jeff Lewis]

There's gotta be that one actor or actress that nobody likes. Cause we have that here.

[Doug]

Oh my God. Who is it?

[Jeff Lewis]

Me.

[Doug]

Jeff Lewis has issues.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis has issues. In today's episode, Elisa Donovan and Doug Buten join the show. We we talk about health hazards of the show. Leaning into the clunk. Plus we receive a major award right now. In our green room is the West Hollywood city councilman Danny hang. And there is a very fishel looking woman next to him.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

You do not mess with. No, no, no, no. Well, you don't want to mess with Anne Marie. She's vice chair of, I guess human resources.

[Elisa Donovan]

Oh, no.

[Jameson]

Human something. Wasn't recent.

[Jeff Lewis]

Wasn't probably misunderstood. What was it?

[Jameson]

It was civilization. It was something with a c. Humanity.

[Doug]

Humanity.

[Jameson]

Humanity.

[Doug]

Listen, don't mess with Andrew.

[Jeff Lewis]

It sounds like a big title to me.

[Jameson]

Whatever it is, it's too big for.

[Elisa Donovan]

Us people to remember.

[Doug]

I feel like. Are you. I know it seems like you're sort of receiving something today, but maybe it's more like you're being arrested or something.

[Jeff Lewis]

We're supposed to be getting an award now.

[Jameson]

It's not an award.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, what is that?

[Jameson]

Yes, it is. No, it's a proclamation.

[Jeff Lewis]

What does that mean?

[Jameson]

Well, it's not an award.

[Elisa Donovan]

It means award.

[Doug]

Yeah, Proclaiming that you're wonder. That's what it is. You're welcome.

[Jeff Lewis]

So the backstory is that Doug misconstrued Danny's text.

[Doug]

This is an excellent backstory. He did.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes, he did. So Danny had reached out initially. You were supposed to go down to the city, correct?

[Jameson]

Jameson and I were gonna go receive this proclamation.

[Alan Leech]

Don't drag me into Doug.

[Elisa Donovan]

Oh, can I just say, excuse me.

[Doug]

They had, like, a dance number prepared for this?

[Elisa Donovan]

A proclamation is a public or official announcement, especially one with great matter of importance. Y us.

[Doug]

Sounds like an award.

[Elisa Donovan]

Sounds like an award.

[Jameson]

Sounds like an award. But it's just a proclamation. Anyways, but so we were gonna go. You had a dinner that night. Jameson and I were gonna go down to the city to their meeting and receive the proclamation on your behalf and on the show's behalf. And we were all excited to do it. I had my blazer and everything. And then, unfortunately, council member Hang told us they were not able to to fit us into the busy agenda of the city of West Hollywood, so it was canceled.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay. So then the text started.

[Jameson]

Oh, then I got a text from an unknown number. Who? He said it was Danny.

[Doug]

Really Suspect an unknown number. What are you doing?

[Jameson]

But he apologized and said, I'm so sorry, and, you know, we'd love to make it. We were looking forward to this. We'd love to make it up to you. We'll find another date. And then he did say, I'm going out for drinks with our former mayor if you're around. And I thought that was lovely, but you.

[Jeff Lewis]

I mean, you misrepresented it. You basically said that Danny was hitting on you and that it was a potential threesome proposal.

[Jameson]

No, no. We have several former mayors. I don't know which one Danny Hang was talking about too, but. No, no, no. In fact, I said, thank you so much. It's very kind.

[Jeff Lewis]

You said Danny was into you.

[Elisa Donovan]

I did it him off.

[Jameson]

I did not listen to the archive channel. I never said it.

[Jeff Lewis]

You did. And so what happened is it was brought up. Danny somehow heard it. So the second he walked into the lobby, he didn't even say hello. He's like, it wasn't a date.

[Jameson]

That's what he said.

[Doug]

It literally was the first thing out of his mouth.

[Jameson]

He walked up to me and said, hi. It wasn't a date.

[Doug]

Thanks.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Or a threesome. He goes, or a threesome.

[Doug]

Or a threesome. Neither.

[Elisa Donovan]

So then what was it?

[Jeff Lewis]

That must be disappointing, Doug, because you did think that you had maybe a chance.

[Jameson]

Listen, there's Always a chance.

[Elisa Donovan]

I'm shocked that you said, well, not with you. To a date or not a date. Because it's like, these are good people to know. Regardless.

[Jameson]

Say no. I said.

[Elisa Donovan]

I said, blew him off.

[Jameson]

I said, I appreciate it so much.

[Doug]

I do say your response was like one of those. If somebody says, like, they just come off stage and you say, you were really up there. I saw you up there. You know, instead of being like, you did a great job, it was like, you're just sort of like, I don't want to get.

[Jameson]

It could be a political scandal for him. Who knows? Like, I don't want to put any.

[Elisa Donovan]

Were you planning to end up on.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Dumois this morning when he said it wasn't a date? You could have said, well, it could be.

[Jameson]

I don't think in those terms.

[Jeff Lewis]

And he's cute.

[Doug]

He's very cute. I agree. Very handsome, well dressed.

[Jeff Lewis]

Don't creep on him, though. And if you want to see, he's clearly not interested.

[Doug]

Exactly.

[Jameson]

I'll go into the green room when he comes in.

[Jeff Lewis]

And then. So then we started doing a deep dive to find out which mayor is coming.

[Doug]

Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

And we found a cute. We found a cute mayor. I don't know which mayor was going to the drinks.

[Elisa Donovan]

Oh, we can ask Danny.

[Jeff Lewis]

And what did you say exactly?

[Elisa Donovan]

Said he's. He's not a no, this mayor.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's not a no. Yeah. So I wonder if it is that handsome mayor, hopefully. Oh, maybe we should bring him in.

[Doug]

Let's bring him in.

[Jeff Lewis]

Maybe we should bring him in and ask him.

[Alan Leech]

If you want to see a picture, you can go on to your Instagram or the radio. Andy. Instagram and see it.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

Here's the other thing. Another. God, this is. We got a lot on the.

[Doug]

There's a lot on the agenda. We have to really.

[Jameson]

Hold on, hold on.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hold back for a second. We have to get the right music for you. Danny, is Anne Marie coming too? I hope.

[Elisa Donovan]

Yeah, she's here.

[Jameson]

Okay. Jameson.

[Jeff Lewis]

Jameson, this is your mom.

[Elisa Donovan]

No, I'm sorry, I just said. I just.

[Jeff Lewis]

Maybe Oscar could get it quicker.

[Jameson]

Which song do you want?

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't care.

[Doug]

We could always.

[Jeff Lewis]

Something appropriate.

[Jameson]

Hail to the chief for West Hollywood. You better work. Work it, girl.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, here we go.

[Doug]

There it is.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's Dani and Anne Mar.

[Danny Hing]

[Jeff Lewis]

Good morning, Danny. Good morning, Anne Marie. I'm sorry, I up your title. Can you. Anne Marie, will you tell us what the title is again?

[Jameson]

Because it's close to the mic.

[Doug]

Yes, close to the mic.

[Ann Marie Williams]

Ann Marie Williams Vice chair for the Human Services Commission for the city of West Hollywood.

[Doug]

Human Services.

[Jeff Lewis]

Wow.

[Danny Hing]

Anne Marie is my appointee. Is my council appointee.

[Jameson]

You just appoint people.

[Elisa Donovan]

That means he.

[Doug]

It means he chose her.

[Elisa Donovan]

He asserted his dominance.

[Jameson]

What other things can you apply?

[Jeff Lewis]

So he's kind of like.

[Danny Hing]

We have about 16 advisory boards and commission.

[Jameson]

I want to be in a commission.

[Jeff Lewis]

I hate to say it, but I think Danny might be a gay with a clipboard. Sorry, Dan. Let me ask a compliment.

[Doug]

They get along famously.

[Danny Hing]

Well, Doug, you are a resident, right? So that is an opportunity.

[Jameson]

Okay. I'd like to apply to be on a committee, Danny.

[Ann Marie Williams]

Oh, boy.

[Jameson]

Your number at this point.

[Doug]

Get your clipboards out.

[Jeff Lewis]

So, Danny, I want to be very clear. It's not a date.

[Danny Hing]

It was not a date. It was a friendly gesture to reach out. Because I like Doug a lot. I listened to the show. I watched cooking kibbutz.

[Doug]

Oh, my God. Now, did you watch us last night?

[Danny Hing]

I did not watch you last night.

[Doug]

Why?

[Elisa Donovan]

It was a good one.

[Jeff Lewis]

It was panzanella. It was the panzanella salad. Because he's busy. Yeah, I know Anne Marie are busy.

[Jameson]

Oh, yes, I do. Can I say thank you, council member Hang. Wow. On behalf of Jeff Lewis and the whole Jeff Lewis Live team, thank you to the city of West Hollywood for this incredible and frankly, surprising honor. We are truly grateful for the recognition of what started as one man's loud opinions, but turned into a show that somehow both therapy and chaos for the guests, co hosts, producers, and listeners alike. West Hollywood has always been a place where bold personalities are not just welcomed, but celebrated. This city is about authenticity, creativity, and unapologetic.

[Jeff Lewis]

All right, wrap it up, Doug.

[Jameson]

Well, thank you.

[Doug]

There's a whole nother paragraph.

[Elisa Donovan]

Two other paragraphs.

[Jameson]

I was just gonna say that. Jeff, Lucy, like the city of Belgium.

[Jeff Lewis]

Great job, Doug. Thank you. Danny, one more thing. Oh, my God. Am I getting a pin?

[Danny Hing]

Are we getting semi.

[Jameson]

Official.

[Danny Hing]

Official members of the city.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, my God. Do I get a key to the city?

[Jameson]

Are you.

[Doug]

Thank you.

[Jeff Lewis]

Where's the key?

[Alan Leech]

That would seem to be.

[Jameson]

Maybe they have a. Maybe a five.

[Jeff Lewis]

This is incredible. Thank you so much, Danny.

[Jameson]

Thank you so much.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know you guys are busy and you have, like, a big city to run, but since you're here, Anne Marie and Danny, swag bag. You don't realize. You probably don't know this, but Annie over there. Annie, what do you do for me? What's your title?

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Ann says marketing, but I'm doing social media slay.

[Jeff Lewis]

I love it. I love it. Okay, so on Annemarie on Monday, what's in the little bag here?

[Jameson]

This looks like a bottle to hold water or wine.

[Danny Hing]

Just some weho swag.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, I love this merch.

[Jameson]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

And if people want to buy it, where do they go?

[Danny Hing]

You can't buy it, but we can.

[Jeff Lewis]

Get it for free.

[Jameson]

You can buy a home in the city of West Hollywood, and maybe you get this as a welcome.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, so, Ann Marie, since you're involved in Human Civilization services. Okay, Human stuff. Human stuff. Okay. So Annie really believes that she deserves a raise. Since we have Dani here and Annemarie, I think this is a good time for you to pitch me and tell me why you deserve a raise.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Okay, so I've been preparing this all week. So first I want to say thank you because I've been working here for a year for Doug. Or not for Doug. Really for Doug. And so my first reason that I need a raise is because I'm really good at publicly shaming you for eating. So I keep you skinny, and that is, like, irreplaceable. Second of all is we've increased. I did, like, some numbers looking at that.

[Doug]

And we crunched some numbers.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Crunch the numbers and We've increased to over 44% accounts on Instagram the last 90 days, which is really good. And 90% of that is to non followers, which means that people that haven't seen your account before are seeing you.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

So that's why we're increasing. So remember when I texted you a few days ago and I was like, oh, my gosh, the 922,000 followers stuck because we were, like, teetering between 9, 29, 21 for so long.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

It stuck. So that means, like, we're. We're actually growing and it's sticking. So that's really good.

[Doug]

It's impressive. That's legit.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Because we were struggling with that for a minute.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

And so I figured out I got out of my box and I've been creative on my own, and the behind the scenes have been doing, like, exponentially better than the reels from the show. And I think that's because it's different content that people have already seen because they listen to the show. So then they're like, oh, we want to see something new. Also, the video team. I'm, like, carrying that all on my back now since Sirius took that away. So that's a big.

[Doug]

That's a lot to carry.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Aren't paying all those salaries now, so they should, like, give all their salaries to me.

[Doug]

There's a pinch.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm DEI because I'm the only woman higher.

[Doug]

Oh, that's a big one.

[Jeff Lewis]

She's playing Emery. You heard that? She's playing the DEI card.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

I figured that out last time.

[Jeff Lewis]

Smart.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Your TikTok no longer looks like a boomer runs it. I. Oh, I'm not afraid to tell you when you're being an. Or, like, inconsiderate. If you're, like, entitled or, like, super, super petty. Dramatic.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Toxic. You know, I'm super loyal. Like, when we were in New York and you, like, took a big. In the bathroom and blamed it on me because your new boyfriend was there, and I, like, took the blame.

[Elisa Donovan]

Oh, who's also here today?

[Doug]

Who's also here today?

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

And now I didn't even blink an eye. I was like, that was me. You're right.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, that's true. I do remember that you took one for the team.

[Doug]

That's a really.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

No complaints. And I Googled it and it says that, like, 10 raise is for people doing a good job, but 12% raise is people doing an exceptional job. And I feel like I'm, like, so excited. And Google said it, and Google told.

[Jeff Lewis]

Me That's a big raise.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

And we all know 12 rounds to 15.

[Jameson]

Has it been. Has it been a year?

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

It's been a year.

[Jameson]

So it's a full year.

[Doug]

Well, a year.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm sweating.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Yeah. Also, I want a new title. So I came up with two new titles, and I want everyone to vote which one's cuter? So there's Director of Digital Slay.

[Doug]

Very cute.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Or Head of Viral Slaytistics.

[Jameson]

Anne Marie. Do you want that title, Ann Marie?

[Doug]

Yeah, I like the second one.

[Alan Leech]

Yeah, I like the alliteration of Director of Digital Slayer.

[Doug]

I do, too.

[Elisa Donovan]

I like Slatistic.

[Jameson]

Well, I feel like that could be two things. Slatistics is more the metaphor. Analytics and analytics and. Or as. As Annie would say, the numbers.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

So maybe when I get an intern, that's their title.

[Jameson]

Yeah, but not director.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, an appointee.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Yeah, like Danny.

[Jameson]

Only we had somebody here who could appoint somebody to something.

[Doug]

Appointee.

[Jeff Lewis]

So what do we think? So is that. Are you done with your presentation?

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

I have wrapped up my presentation.

[Doug]

Thank you so much, everyone.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes. Let's hear from Anne Marie and Danny. What do you think about Annie's presentation?

[Ann Marie Williams]

The council member goes first.

[Danny Hing]

I love the presentation. She did a great job. She's been here for about a year, and just based on that beautiful photo she took, she deserves that raise from this morning.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

You looked great in it, Jeff. Especially from the right side of your penis.

[Doug]

What?

[Alan Leech]

That is a reference to something Jeff has said. She's not just Emery.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm really sorry to bring you into this, but yesterday I divulged that my penis looks best from the right side versus the left.

[Doug]

Not that Annie will be photographing that. She will not be doing that.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah. Sorry about that.

[Jameson]

Let's just hear Anne Marie's thoughts. Let's not give any more.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, yeah. Sorry, Ann Marie.

[Ann Marie Williams]

Well, I just want to say I appreciate you as a woman, being so brave and collecting the correct data.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Ann Marie Williams]

I applaud you as a young woman to stand your ground professionally and to make it. And also, the pitch is fun. So you made it fun, and you made it full of data. So I applaud you for that. And all young women should be braver when asking for a raise and for money. You're setting a good example.

[Doug]

That's right.

[Jeff Lewis]

But not too brave. Not too brave.

[Doug]

Don't push it.

[Ann Marie Williams]

So on the right side of the penis, I think is. I approve it.

[Doug]

Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, wow.

[Elisa Donovan]

Our Human Services commissioner says the commissioner approves.

[Jameson]

Thank you.

[Doug]

Can I ask Annie. Sorry. Emery and Danny have you guys ever revoked an award that you've given to.

[Elisa Donovan]

Someone within the market?

[Jeff Lewis]

Why would you put that out there, you bitch?

[Danny Hing]

That has never happened before.

[Doug]

Okay? Not that I'm not.

[Jameson]

You know what you are?

[Jeff Lewis]

A cock blocker.

[Jameson]

A right side cock blocker.

[Alan Leech]

A proc. Blocker.

[Jameson]

You know what I liked in Annie's pitch, by the way? Surprisingly, I really liked that Annie used we instead of I. She made herself part of the team.

[Doug]

Team player.

[Jameson]

And I noticed that what I liked.

[Elisa Donovan]

Is that she's wearing a blazer, I believe.

[Doug]

Sturdy dressing.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

I wear a high pony because Doug told me he loves high ponies. I wear shorts because I know he loves a short skirt, and I wear a blazer.

[Doug]

She has legit pumps on.

[Jameson]

So you're gonna. You'll take some time.

[Jeff Lewis]

Let me think about it.

[Doug]

I'm gonna put pressure on you right now. You can answer right now, TikTok.

[Jameson]

Maybe during the break.

[Jeff Lewis]

I mean, look, I'm leaning toward. I'm not committing to a 12%, 10%, any of that, but I believe I heard you. I actually really most impressed by your statistics, your slatistics.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

I have more for you.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, no, I mean, numbers are.

[Doug]

It's legit. They don't lie.

[Jeff Lewis]

And I do appreciate you taking one for the team in New York when I did use the restroom.

[Jameson]

Taking two anytime.

[Doug]

Taking number two for the team, actually.

[Jameson]

Two for the team.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, Danny and Emery, thank you so much. We really appreciate this honor.

[Danny Hing]

Thank you for having us.

[Jeff Lewis]

And we will continue. Look, we are. We are huge supporters of the West Hollywood community, and we are happy to promote the businesses any chance we get. I mean, it's most of the. It's where we live. It's where we live.

[Elisa Donovan]

It's where we eat. It's where we drink.

[Jeff Lewis]

I do think you should sell West Hollywood merch, though. You could sell it on jeff lewismerch.com.

[Elisa Donovan]

We have the perfect avenue for it.

[Danny Hing]

Yeah, that is an idea.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, so I think it's a great way to raise money for Doug's mental health.

[Jameson]

Well, I have Danny's number, so Danny will be in touch.

[Danny Hing]

We're gonna go to Salty Girl, right? We get drinks together.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'll go, too. Can Anne Marie come?

[Danny Hing]

Of course.

[Elisa Donovan]

Can the former mayor come?

[Jameson]

What did you say? I thought she said, I don't know this guy. Like, who the hell's this guy?

[Ann Marie Williams]

I'm not used to a man saying my name so many times.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, sorry. Yeah, I get a little fixated. Thank you so much for being here. We appreciate you I know how busy you guys are to come down here and give us this proclamation. Thank you.

[Danny Hing]

Congratulations.

[Jeff Lewis]

We are honored.

[Elisa Donovan]

Thanks for the award.

[Doug]

I think Danny likes Doug.

[Jeff Lewis]

I think he wants to climb Douglas a tree.

[Elisa Donovan]

Doug is going to be the first lady of West Hollywood.

[Jameson]

Take a picture of that proclamation cuz it's about to get revoked.

[Doug]

Councilmen, first lady of West Hollywood.

[Jeff Lewis]

I love this.

[Alan Leech]

I love.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh he could be in the parade.

[Doug]

Yes.

[Alan Leech]

Oh my God Doug, what will your cause be?

[Jameson]

I, I, I need time to think about it. There's this is a, that's a, a weighty decision.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

It is obviously the panzanella salad.

[Jameson]

I don't, I don't know that I want to use my platform for salad. Maybe it's going to be Something literally.

[Alan Leech]

Using your platform, Doug. Your platform could be make panzanella a salad again.

[Jeff Lewis]

Wait, did he ask you. He didn't ask you for drinks. He asked you for dinner.

[Jameson]

Yeah. And then what happened next? You said, I'd like to.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, I didn't realize that it was a date, so I'll back out. I'm backing out.

[Jameson]

Just yesterday you said, I'm not gonna invite myself places or whatever it was.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know. You know what it was when you said Salty Girl.

[Elisa Donovan]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

I just love those martinis.

[Doug]

Wait, which one is Salty Girl?

[Elisa Donovan]

I don't think you've been. It's so good. It's Sunset Strip. It's. They specialize in, like, caviar and, like, seafood. They stuff the olives of the martini with caviar.

[Doug]

Wait a second. Sunset and what?

[Jameson]

It's where Sunset plaza, Le Petit 4 used to be.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's Sunset Plaza Drive.

[Doug]

Okay. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

[Jameson]

It used to be le petit 4.

[Jeff Lewis]

So I'm sorry, when I heard Salty Girl, I lost my mind.

[Doug]

Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

So I'm gonna back out. Well, he's asking you to dinner anyway. Are you gonna do dinner at Salty Girl? Don't take him to Ciccone's. You can.

[Elisa Donovan]

You can't.

[Jeff Lewis]

You cannot.

[Jameson]

I love this monologue you have going on. I don't know. I'm going to see where he wants to go. It's not up to me, Doug.

[Jeff Lewis]

Doug's a lady and I don't know what you're into, but where you going?

[Doug]

I'm just saying, like, I can't wait. I can't wait there with.

[Jeff Lewis]

Maybe you should invite that. Also that handsome mayor.

[Doug]

Yeah. Wait, we didn't find out who. Which former mayor he was referring to.

[Jameson]

Leave something to the.

[Jeff Lewis]

I hope it's a good looking one for you.

[Elisa Donovan]

I think it's been changed to a one on one situation now. I think it's.

[Doug]

It sounds like it's a little more intimate.

[Elisa Donovan]

They've gone past the group date, so.

[Jeff Lewis]

It was so weird, though, because when he walked in the door, he's like, it's not a date. So maybe because Doug. You know why? Because Doug blew him off and he was embarrassed.

[Doug]

He didn't want to feel guarded. And also, I think he wanted to make sure that, you know, politically he was doing that this wasn't going to become some sort of a, you know, where you were, you were claiming some kind of.

[Jeff Lewis]

Have you ever dated a public person like this? I mean, you're gonna be a celebrity by, you know, proxy. You're like Famous adjacent.

[Alan Leech]

Are you thinking more like Jackie O Style, Melania style, or you think pantsuit? Hillary Clinton? What do you think?

[Doug]

Jackie O. Jackie O.

[Jeff Lewis]

You have. I think you nailed the relaxed, casual look. But you're going to be going to a lot of events.

[Doug]

You are.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're going to a lot of events.

[Jameson]

And a compliment all of.

[Jeff Lewis]

So you're gonna need to get some suits.

[Doug]

Yep.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[Doug]

Well, I mean, I also think suits. I think a fascinator or I think a hat or a fascinator would be really, really great.

[Elisa Donovan]

A hairpiece?

[Doug]

No, a hat. A fascinator. Like a, you know, one of the British.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Like from Downton Abbey.

[Doug]

Correct. Yes.

[Jameson]

Sure. I'll host teas. I used to dream about. I did used to have a dream about living in Georgetown in one of those really charming townhouses. And I was gon teas and ladies gatherings.

[Doug]

Your moment has come.

[Jameson]

Maybe just too.

[Elisa Donovan]

Lunch.

[Doug]

Your moment has come.

[Elisa Donovan]

Snicker sandwiches at the.

[Doug]

Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

I am so excited for you and Dani. I see this happening.

[Doug]

I know.

[Jeff Lewis]

I really do. Don't mention it.

[Jameson]

Wish I knew how to quit you, Danny. Just keep my number, Danny.

[Alan Leech]

I wonder if it's like the White House, where you get to pick the theme of Christmas every year and the Christmas tree ornaments.

[Jeff Lewis]

You get to redecorate. Will you hire me?

[Jameson]

We'll see.

[Jeff Lewis]

Please.

[Doug]

You're gonna put some balls in there. Submit a proposal.

[Jameson]

We're very. You know, we have to be very careful and above board in all of our hirings of any agency as a member of the city of West Hollywood.

[Doug]

So will you put balls in your yard?

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, you've got to do the balls.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

You got to do the balls. Sure. Is there like a. Where is the courthouse? Where. Where's.

[Elisa Donovan]

Where does everybody work, Sweetser? In Santa Monica.

[Alan Leech]

You should know, Sweetser.

[Jeff Lewis]

Why should I know?

[Alan Leech]

Right next to Hamburger Mirror. Across from where Conservatory was.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's where. That's where your fiance's office is.

[Doug]

Is that where you'll have the wedding, do you think?

[Jameson]

Oh, my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

You guys at the West Hollywood courthouse.

[Jameson]

Let's take some calls.

[Alan Leech]

And the reception can be at Hamburger Mary's. It's right next door.

[Doug]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, I like this because we're supporting.

[Jameson]

Local businesses, but I will say no, that's not true. We need to involve many businesses. We can't show favoritism just to one restaurant.

[Jeff Lewis]

Rehearsal dinner can be at Hamburger Mary's.

[Doug]

Okay, what about Cecconi's?

[Jeff Lewis]

And we've got to work in Schmitty's. And high tops.

[Elisa Donovan]

Obviously.

[Doug]

It'll be a progressive dinner. Like a progressive hello? Yeah.

[Elisa Donovan]

I mean, then let's go classy. Well, let's go upscale. Pendry Tower bar.

[Alan Leech]

We should probably do the after party. Let's have a great Barney the Roof after party at Barney's Beanery just to, like, include some straight people.

[Elisa Donovan]

Ew.

[Alan Leech]

I know. But straight people, they're here. They're here. They're queer. Get used to it.

[Doug]

Yeah, we're really the DEI hires in that regard.

[Jeff Lewis]

Mary, Minnesota, line two. Oh, God. Hi, Mary.

[Mary]

Jeffrey.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yep. I know what you're gonna say.

[Mary]

Yeah, I know. I know. I love you, but Shadow Chain.

[Jameson]

Say it. Just tell us.

[Mary]

Yeah. You are in trouble, Jeff, because I think it was Wednesday, and this morning I caught you. You are eating on air.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're right.

[Mary]

We can hear you.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're right. I'm sorry.

[Mary]

I know you're hungry. I get it.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's the Pop Tarts.

[Mary]

I know it's.

[Jeff Lewis]

You can't say no to the Pop Tarts, Mary. But you know what, Mary? When I was chewing, I was actually. I purposely moved my face away from the mic. I'm a loud chewer. I'm allowed either.

[Mary]

You weren't slick.

[Jeff Lewis]

All right, I'm not gonna eat on air anymore. I'm sorry, Mary.

[Mary]

It's fine. So. So in Jameson's defense, this is why he's on your asses about everything.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, yeah. But we got to talk about. Something happened, Mary. Which basically, Jameson has been holding his tongue, which I really appreciate. You took the note two weeks ago when you and I had our meeting. On air and off air. So he has been holding his tongue, but the problem is he's been clenching his j. He wants to speak, but he can't speak, Mary. And so he's been clenching his jaw. And then what happened yesterday?

[Alan Leech]

I've been in severe, severe pain. I thought I had. I've had this before with my McClencher. Not a grinder. And so sometimes, like, the pain radiates and it feels like it's tooth pain. I also have very weak teeth, so I just have a million cavities, a million fillings. I've just been. I know. I've been to the. I just, like, spent all my money at the dentist. I'll give it to myself. Anyway, so I've been in pain all week, and then I finally. Yesterday was in such terrible pain. I had a migraine, and I thought I was gonna vomit, so I went to the dentist. I was like, okay, this is it. This is definitely Something I went. And the dentist is like, sorry, brah. It's just clenching. Yeah.

[Jameson]

Don't you wear a night guard?

[Alan Leech]

Of course.

[Jameson]

Do you need a new nightguard?

[Doug]

Do you need a day guard?

[Alan Leech]

Well, he's just. You know what I actually bought. I bought a massager.

[Jeff Lewis]

Thank you for your call, Mary.

[Alan Leech]

I bought a jaw massager yesterday just off the Internet. Just Google. I don't know which one I bought, and so I'm gonna try that. Although I think it's, like, vibrator.

[Jeff Lewis]

So. Do you think it's Jeff Lewis live? That's why you've been clinching.

[Alan Leech]

Alyssa says it's Jeff Jaw.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, that's Jeff Jaw.

[Jameson]

And let us just remember.

[Jeff Lewis]

Is someone gonna make a joke?

[Jameson]

It's all there. We don't need to make the joke. And I love how you've pivoted. The first call, the first note was that you cannot eat on air.

[Jeff Lewis]

Right?

[Jameson]

You heard that?

[Jeff Lewis]

I heard that.

[Jameson]

I'm not gonna eat on air.

[Doug]

I didn't hear you eating it. I'm sitting right across from you.

[Jameson]

Watch it.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know, but I'm in the mic, so. But I did.

[Elisa Donovan]

And then you crinkled the wrapper in the mic, too.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're right. And I was eating in front of Danny and Ann Marie, which is so unprofessional.

[Jameson]

I had to stop you. I had to.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're right.

[Jameson]

I gave Jeff. Jeff was about to stick a Pop Tart in his mouth in front of Danny, and I gave you a I.

[Jeff Lewis]

Can'T say no to pop Tarts.

[Jameson]

And I said, put it.

[Jeff Lewis]

Thank you for telling me that. That was really rude.

[Jameson]

And they were taking photographs. It could have been a picture of your fat ass with a Pop Tart in your hand.

[Jeff Lewis]

I can't say no to salty girl martinis, and I can't say no to pop Tarts. What can I say?

[Elisa Donovan]

Let's get her. We'll find out when Doug is having his date, and we'll just get our own table. Like, this is an excellent idea.

[Doug]

I'll come down for that.

[Jeff Lewis]

How are they gonna treat your Jeff jaw?

[Alan Leech]

He said, just try not to clench. Because I think part of the problem is I'm clenching while I sleep. But I wear night guards. And then during the day.

[Jeff Lewis]

What you wear? Oh, that's sex.

[Alan Leech]

Oh, no, I wear like. They're like retainers.

[Jeff Lewis]

You don't like retainers? And then not if I have someone staying over. Which, by the way, today was bring your black boyfriend to work day, and I'm the only one that followed the assignment. Where's Frank?

[Doug]

He's working.

[Jameson]

He has a job.

[Jeff Lewis]

He never supports you.

[Alan Leech]

He has a job.

[Jeff Lewis]

He never ever shows up for you.

[Elisa Donovan]

He's forest to the list.

[Alan Leech]

He has a job.

[Jameson]

But welcome. Ty, we are glad you're here.

[Doug]

Yes we are.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm sorry about your Jeff jaw.

[Alan Leech]

Thank you.

[Jeff Lewis]

Can you take Advil or something?

[Alan Leech]

I think part of the problem is during the workday I'm just like staring at my computer and clenching. So I have to think about start of the treatment.

[Doug]

Is a rape?

[Alan Leech]

Yeah, actually.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh come on.

[Alan Leech]

I love that idea.

[Jeff Lewis]

One at a time.

[Doug]

Honey.

[Elisa Donovan]

Break out the blazer.

[Alan Leech]

You know, under me Jeff has had 15% less HR complaints.

[Jameson]

But Jameson, I would. I think you probably are clenching during the day. So bring your night guard today.

[Alan Leech]

I thought about that. That's gonna be embarrassing.

[Jameson]

Not while we're live. No, he's only live for two hours.

[Jeff Lewis]

And then bringing his retainers to work.

[Jameson]

Doug, if you can bring your black boyfriend, he can bring his retainer.

[Alan Leech]

I'm gonna try jaw massager and I think that's gonna help.

[Jameson]

Maybe I'll do that.

[Jeff Lewis]

By the way, are there Smith sisters here? I'm gonna pretend like we're really close.

[Alan Leech]

I don't think they're here today.

[Jameson]

You are the worst. Bevy, are you here?

[Jeff Lewis]

The funny thing is he said we were in the elevator. I'm like, you know Sway, right? And Heather B. He's like we don't all know each other.

[Doug]

Oh my God, Ty.

[Jeff Lewis]

I apologize on just assumed he'd know Sway.

[Doug]

Of course.

[Elisa Donovan]

I figured whatever.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, what about someone was saying Botox?

[Alan Leech]

Yeah. So I've looked into that before. The problem is just like with normal Botox, it's temporary. So I need like a more kind of permanent solution.

[Doug]

But it lasts a long time. Months.

[Alan Leech]

Yeah, I remember actually this happened a couple years ago and a listener messaged me and said her friend was clenching so bad that she was doing damage to her spine. She didn't realize it and she was swimming one day and her whole body was. Went paralyzed.

[Jameson]

Like rigid.

[Alan Leech]

Yes.

[Jameson]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

So do you think this is going to happen to you? Well, no, I feel like that's what you're.

[Jameson]

He doesn't have a pool. What are you talking.

[Alan Leech]

No, but I'm saying I'm trying not. I'm not looking to.

[Doug]

Let me. Let's go back to Botox for a second.

[Jeff Lewis]

It seems over dramatic to me.

[Doug]

It's not only it's temporary, but it also dulls the like the muscle so it. It doesn't come back as strong, so it actually could be effective in the long term.

[Jeff Lewis]

So you think you're going to be paralyzed now?

[Alan Leech]

I don't know.

[Jeff Lewis]

Workers come.

[Jameson]

You already get free parking.

[Jeff Lewis]

You need to dramatic.

[Alan Leech]

I don't know. But yeah, it happened at the beach.

[Jeff Lewis]

This is gonna be a work injury claim. Oh, he's been talking to Patrick and Polo.

[Alan Leech]

Exactly.

[Doug]

Oh, boy.

[Alan Leech]

First we're gonna get them a new charger, then we're gonna get them some lawsuit money.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, he's up to something.

[Doug]

Yeah, I love it.

[Alan Leech]

I don't even think it's a claim.

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't think it is possible from becoming paralyzed after clenching your teeth.

[Alan Leech]

Oh, my God, my legs are tingling.

[Jameson]

But if they're tingling, that means you have feelings.

[Alan Leech]

Oh, no. I mean, they'.

[Jeff Lewis]

I do have to ask you, because I heard that. Poor Scarlet, your daughter, how old is she? What grade?

[Doug]

She is 13. She's in seventh grade.

[Jeff Lewis]

She's in seventh grade. And she had her first boyfriend and they were dating for six months.

[Doug]

That.

[Jeff Lewis]

And he dumped her.

[Doug]

Dumped her?

[Jeff Lewis]

No.

[Doug]

Yes.

[Elisa Donovan]

After he bought her shoes.

[Doug]

Right after he bought her shoes. So his loss. Like, he really, you know. Why do you do that? I will say she was not. She seemed. And unaffected, except she came home. And then all of these girls suddenly came to our house and they were like, Scarlet. Like, the decibel level was really high. And they were saying, like, guess what happened? Guess what happened? And they were, like, saying all these various things that were really bizarre. And then in the end, it was that this boy broke up with her. But I think when I looked at all the text messages, I think these, like, swarm of girls were like, what's going on? Do you still like Scarlet? Why aren't you responding to her? Why are you? So they just, like, got on him and he felt like, I need a break, ladies. You know, like, I need a little break. And then I looked at their text, because he's the one that would text things like, love you, good morning. How are you? He's a really sweet boy. And I think maybe the girls came on a little heavy. And then he was like, I'm done. And then he sent a text that said, you know, I think I just. Just aren't as. I'm not that interested in girls right now. I'm gonna wait until high school to have a serious relationship.

[Jeff Lewis]

Sounds like Oscar. I'm gonna wait till my 40s.

[Doug]

Yeah, that's.

[Jameson]

But that is sweet.

[Jeff Lewis]

So you think he was. He was pressured into breaking up with her.

[Doug]

I also think he has a couple friends that are assholes, let me just tell you right now. And I think maybe those kids were also like, you should. I think they had a really nice relationship. And then.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, but if he's hanging around 13 year old.

[Doug]

Things got involved.

[Jeff Lewis]

He's probably a little bit of an asshole.

[Doug]

Well, I worried about that, but he never seemed that way.

[Jeff Lewis]

He's just good.

[Doug]

He took the bus to her soccer game that was like 40 blocks away and sat with Charlie. Sat with Charlie next to the.

[Jameson]

Is he seeing anyone, do you think?

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you think, like the rest of us, he was just tired of all those clueless reunions.

[Doug]

Maybe. Maybe he was like.

[Jeff Lewis]

Cause enough is fucking enough.

[Doug]

Your mom. One more of like I told you.

[Jeff Lewis]

I cannot deal with it.

[Doug]

But she put on. Oh, wait, I have to this picture. There was a screening last night in San Francisco, and then I did a Q and A with the Chronicle. No, I was there. And then I flew. Oh, sorry. Not last night, the night before. And so we did a Q and A beforehand that was really lovely. And I signed books afterwards. But a dear friend of mine came dressed like, with a red bob wig in this outfit. And then she put it on. Scarlet and I have a pic. It is like, very, very cute. I haven't posted the picture, but it's very cute.

[Jeff Lewis]

It must be heartbreaking when your daughter is going through this and you can't do anything. You don't know how to help her. But I know exactly what I will do if this happens to Monroe. Yeah, I'm gonna say, you're gonna go to school tomorrow. You're gonna tell everyone in school he's gay and he's a small dick.

[Jameson]

Especially from the right side.

[Doug]

Especially from the right side.

[Jeff Lewis]

It doesn't look good from the left side or the right side.

[Doug]

You know what I loved is that all of her girlfriends, like, they immediate her and checking in on her and then.

[Jeff Lewis]

And then they're talking shit behind her back.

[Doug]

The neighbors. The friend was like, the dad had just cooked this big dinner, and his daughter walks in and says, dad, I. I've got to go. I have to go to Scarlet's house. Something really terrible has happened. And he's like, I got a whole chicken here. Like, I just made it. And she came.

[Jeff Lewis]

Seems like a lot of drama. Was Jamison there?

[Alan Leech]

Do you think we should start sending unknown number texts to this kid?

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Jameson]

Yes, I think we should absolutely make him an Owen.

[Elisa Donovan]

I do think we should take this, though, for our Doug and Dany situation. The friends kind of like Piled on too much and gave him too much pressure, and it made him lose her eventually. I think if we pressured Danny, we can't lose Danny.

[Jeff Lewis]

We can't lose Dan.

[Elisa Donovan]

If we pressured too much, we can't lose.

[Jameson]

No, it's Doug. You can't lose Doug.

[Jeff Lewis]

We can't lose Danny.

[Jameson]

We're not gonna lose Danny. You can't lose Doug.

[Doug]

No, I think you're right. Maybe we have to dial it back with Dan.

[Jeff Lewis]

We got a big fish on that hook, and we do not want. We don't want to throw him back.

[Elisa Donovan]

We have to play it cool, though, because if the friends come on and say, why aren't you getting back? Where have you been? You're not being quick to respond. That pushed the boyfriend away.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Yes.

[Jameson]

Do you.

[Jeff Lewis]

You don't think that Doug would be dating Kind of above his level, obviously.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Don't put that in his head.

[Jameson]

Did you know Doug is here? Just pointing at the obvious.

[Doug]

I think he can hear you.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah. I mean, that would be an incredible union.

[Elisa Donovan]

That's what I'm saying.

[Jeff Lewis]

For Doug.

[Elisa Donovan]

So we can't freak out.

[Doug]

It would be.

[Jeff Lewis]

And I feel like there's stuff we could get out of it for ourselves. 100% for ourselves.

[Elisa Donovan]

We could park wherever we want.

[Doug]

You could never get another parking ticket. Can you imagine? That alone is.

[Elisa Donovan]

I'm not gonna turn my wheels in.

[Doug]

Huge score. I will never turn my wheels in.

[Jeff Lewis]

Doug. This has to happen for us.

[Jameson]

Okay, so back to don't pressure. There's no pressure.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, he's not here, so can you reach out to him now and just.

[Doug]

Comfortably, like, I think, casually.

[Jeff Lewis]

Annie, when do you think he should reach out? Because it just happened this morning.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Probably, like. Oh, but it is Friday tonight. Are you trying to, like, get together this week?

[Jeff Lewis]

I think that's too thirsty.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

No, that's too thirsty.

[Jameson]

No, I have plans. I told you, I'm happy. I can't.

[Jeff Lewis]

I think you have plans on Sunday. For two hours.

[Jameson]

It's all day.

[Elisa Donovan]

Doug should text him this afternoon and say, it was great to see you this morning. You did great.

[Jameson]

What fun we had. And what fun.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

We can keep it short.

[Alan Leech]

Doug, you should say it was great to see you. Do you like cheeseburgers?

[Elisa Donovan]

I can really go for a cheeseburger.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's a very good point. You gotta keep it short. Doug.

[Jameson]

I'll do it this afternoon.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Also tell him he did great on air.

[Jameson]

I already said that. I planned. And you know why? Because it's the truth. Because council member Danny Hannah did a.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Great job, but also you want to feed his ego?

[Jeff Lewis]

Doug hang.

[Doug]

Doug hang.

[Jeff Lewis]

I love it.

[Jameson]

Doug and Danny.

[Doug]

Doug and Danny.

[Jameson]

No, no, no. I'm sorry. Danny and Doug.

[Doug]

Danny and Doug.

[Jeff Lewis]

Danny and Doug hang.

[Jameson]

Did you heard Anne Marie? Council member goes first. Danny goes first.

[Doug]

Danny and Doug.

[Elisa Donovan]

Okay. Danny and Doug.

[Jeff Lewis]

Alisa has done a huge favor for us today. She's agreed to stay the second hour to be a buffer between Doug and Alan.

[Doug]

Did you hear what just happened when we came back in? In the break? He sat down. Elisa, clean up your station. This is where Alan is going to be sitting. Clean up your space.

[Jameson]

There's refuse. And Alan Leech is here. He should be question.

[Jeff Lewis]

Should I put Doug next to me and put you next to Alan?

[Alan Leech]

No, because then he'll be making creepy direct eye contact.

[Elisa Donovan]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jameson]

I'm going to sit next to Alan and that's final.

[Elisa Donovan]

Put Doug in Oscar's chair.

[Jeff Lewis]

Now. I don't know if anyone heard Jameson, but he told Alan this is how he represents our show. Lean into the clump, Alan.

[Doug]

Lean into the clump.

[Jeff Lewis]

What the fuck does that mean?

[Alan Leech]

Poor Allen has done all these professional interviews. He shows up in this green room. I walk up and he's like, how's your jaw and the right side of your penis?

[Elisa Donovan]

I mean, like, we are an award winning show.

[Doug]

This is.

[Alan Leech]

We're a clunky, award winning show.

[Jameson]

It's a proclamation.

[Elisa Donovan]

He proclaimed that. He gave us an award.

[Jeff Lewis]

I guess on one hand, if you lower people's expectations. Right. I think that's probably a good idea.

[Alan Leech]

I also want him to feel comfortable, to just jump in.

[Jeff Lewis]

He's not gonna feel comfortable here, you know that.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

You will not feel comfortable not sitting next to Doug.

[Jameson]

Okay, reel it in.

[Jeff Lewis]

Sorry.

[Doug]

Nope.

[Jeff Lewis]

Doug, I do want to ask you. So just remind me because I've watched every episode of Downton Abbey. Was it six seasons? Six seasons and three movies.

[Jameson]

Three movies including the latest one.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Elisa Donovan]

Which comes out.

[Jeff Lewis]

How many times? I'm just.

[Jameson]

52 episodes.

[Jeff Lewis]

How many times have you watched these episodes?

[Jameson]

I will be 100% honest. I've watched the entire series. Six season series. Nine or ten times. And I've seen.

[Doug]

This is worse than. This is really serious.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, how many times have you seen Clueless?

[Doug]

I've only seen it twice. I've only seen it twice. I'm not kidding.

[Elisa Donovan]

I've seen it twice this week.

[Jameson]

Did you notice?

[Doug]

Elisa said this was the first time that I watched it.

[Jeff Lewis]

You have been to 45 screenings in the last six months.

[Elisa Donovan]

Did you close your eyes?

[Doug]

I Leave.

[Jeff Lewis]

Bullshit.

[Doug]

Oh, no, it is 100% true. This is the first time that I stayed. And I stayed because my daughter was there and I had. I was signing books afterwards, so that's.

[Jeff Lewis]

Why I signed autographs.

[Doug]

I have not watched the film. I'm not kidding you. I think I've only seen it twice, maybe three times in my whole life.

[Jameson]

I've seen it more than that.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hold on, there's a sound bite coming.

[Jameson]

The lie detector determined that was a lie.

[Doug]

I know. I'm so. I watched it the other night and I was like, I don't remember this. Like there were all these places, plot points that I did not remember at all.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Jameson]

I love how Elisa says there was a Q and a. It's been 30 years. How many Qs are left? Like people have asked it all. What don't we know?

[Doug]

There are so many Qs.

[Jameson]

There are no more cues.

[Doug]

Well, the point of the Q and A was yes, for like people that were excited to have someone from the cast there, but then also to talk about myself.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes.

[Doug]

To talk about my movie and the book and other things. That's the reason. And also to bring joy to the people.

[Jeff Lewis]

You know what? I. I didn't bring the people with say this yet, but you look very chic today. I like your outfit. Did you do this for Alan or do you have another clueless event after this afterwards?

[Doug]

There is a clueless no.

[Jeff Lewis]

Are you doing a Q and a here at SiriusXM?

[Doug]

I'm not sure if you're aware, but I will be answering questions. Submit your questions for this clueless cheekest. Well, the thing is also people ask these questions and I'm like, I. I don't know. I don't remember. Like, do you remember 30 years ago? What if somebody asked you?

[Jeff Lewis]

Robin in North Carolina, line two. She's got a great suggestion for Doug.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Oh, yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hey, Robin.

[Mary]

Hey, Jones. How's it going?

[Jameson]

Hey, Robin.

[Mary]

Okay, Doug.

[Jameson]

Yeah.

[Mary]

This guy is some serious, serious action here. And I want to point out out that he stated he's a big fan of cooking kibbutz.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're right.

[Mary]

And he watched it. So you need to take that celebrity nudge he gave you and after having dinner with him or during dinner, just drop an invitation for him and come view the next one.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yep.

[Mary]

To film and celebrate with you co host.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's a lot to put him on the spot.

[Elisa Donovan]

He loves it.

[Doug]

Do you think he could help with the tech issues at all West Hollywood issue. Maybe he can get you a booster.

[Jeff Lewis]

Why are you saying that? Cause He's Asian.

[Doug]

No, because.

[Jameson]

No. Jeff, you said that.

[Doug]

West Hollywood poll.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, I see.

[Doug]

Some sort of. You know.

[Jameson]

Robin, thank you. That is a great idea. When and if the occasion arises, I will.

[Jeff Lewis]

I think you should invite him to rise. Yeah. It's here.

[Jameson]

It's here.

[Doug]

The moment has come. It has arisen.

[Jameson]

I may have to go back on hiatus. I can't do it with all these technical challenges. The way I didn't do it off a phone. It's too frustrating.

[Doug]

Why don't you do it off a phone? Or also just put your phone next to the thing so that you can look at it up there.

[Alan Leech]

Oh, maybe for those people that don't know. Doug's having a problem with C and K, where the comments are freezing on his iPad as he's broadcasting. And so he made a finsta and he's been looking at the comments on his phone while he's broadcasting from his iPad.

[Elisa Donovan]

But then we got all these comments last night saying that it was freezing while we were doing it. So it's frustrating for the viewers.

[Alan Leech]

I was watching. Wasn't it issue.

[Jeff Lewis]

Why are you not doing this in a studio? Aren't you up to, like, 300 viewers now?

[Jameson]

Oh, one day, maybe. Now, when you look at my met, when you look at my set, my slatistic Annie, I. Annie, you can run a test, but, like, 85,000 people watched one from just a couple of weeks ago. It's a lot of people. Wow.

[Jeff Lewis]

Did already do two.

[Jameson]

The lie detector determined that was a lie.

[Jeff Lewis]

I already did two bricks.

[Doug]

Right?

[Elisa Donovan]

Yeah.

[Alan Leech]

Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, good.

[Alan Leech]

So we just go to the.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm good on the breaks.

[Elisa Donovan]

Yeah.

[Jameson]

Is this your first day?

[Elisa Donovan]

Lean into the clunk.

[Doug]

Lean into the clunk.

[Jeff Lewis]

I did. Oh, I know what I was going to mention to you because I was looking at your outfit last night. I had Back to school night from Monroe. Oh, my God.

[Doug]

How was it? I can't believe I didn't ask.

[Jeff Lewis]

Believe the shit that people wear? No.

[Jameson]

What?

[Elisa Donovan]

Good.

[Doug]

You mean parents. Parents.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes. I, I honestly, if I was at that door, I would have turned people away. I would say, go home and put on something appropriate. This woman shows up, like, in, like, sweats. She has, like, not even a cute, like, high pony like you have. Annie.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Sorry.

[Jeff Lewis]

Girl, like, she just, like, ponytail, like, exercise, stretchy pants, a hoodie.

[Doug]

No.

[Jeff Lewis]

And her yeti. I'm like, no, this is not yoga class.

[Doug]

Nope.

[Alan Leech]

Nope.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're about to meet. You're about to meet all of your kids. Teachers.

[Doug]

I could not agree with you.

[Jeff Lewis]

This is Your first impression.

[Doug]

That is. Right.

[Alan Leech]

And I wouldn't to point out these people have the means to afford a real estate.

[Doug]

The thing is that sometimes moms. Look, being a mom is like one of the hardest jobs in the world, like full stop. However, that doesn't mean like I maybe would go in the pickup line in pajamas. I'm not getting out of my car. Fine. But if you're going to an event at the school, because it's also you have. You're representing yourself, your family and your child.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yep.

[Doug]

Like I am with you 100%.

[Jeff Lewis]

And then there was this other guy who literally dressed like a 13 year old skateboarder.

[Doug]

Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

And I'm like, dress your age, dude. Like, this is. I mean, I would have turned people away. And you're right. They have the money. They pull in like a Rolls Royce SUV and they get out looking like shit.

[Jameson]

Did you learn anything?

[Jeff Lewis]

No, nothing. I was so distressed.

[Doug]

He was so distracted.

[Alan Leech]

I was so distracted.

[Jameson]

What did the teacher wear? Was the teacher appropriately dressed?

[Doug]

Oh, God, yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

She actually did notice. I did notice the teacher looked bad.

[Jameson]

Were you nice to teach?

[Jeff Lewis]

You know who looked really good?

[Jameson]

Who?

[Jeff Lewis]

Who? I ran into Monica Casey.

[Alan Leech]

Oh, of course.

[Doug]

They go to the same school.

[Jameson]

Yes, she put it together.

[Jeff Lewis]

She looked really good. She looked really good.

[Doug]

How great is Monroe in now?

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't know.

[Jameson]

How old are you? Third, probably third.

[Jeff Lewis]

Third. Did she get held back? No, she's a third.

[Jameson]

She's 19.

[Doug]

She's not changing classes yet. She has one teacher and then like an art teacher and a.

[Elisa Donovan]

Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

Correct. Yes. I didn't go see all the teachers. I just saw the like, you know, the most important one is the homeroom.

[Doug]

Get ahead of our.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, I mean there was like dance and PE and science and I mean.

[Doug]

She does have a lot of that.

[Annie (Marketing/Social Media)]

Well, maybe you need to kiss ass to like not the dance teacher, but like science and reading and math.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know because she just started science this year. I'm like, great, another fucking tutor of homework.

[Doug]

Honestly, I'd like to say how come we pay so much money for schools and then my daughter needs a tutor? Like, I am very frustrated by that. Secondarily, she came home the other day because the homework just increases. Right. Seventh grade now it's legit. It counts for your high school application. She came home and she was outraged and said, I don't understand how you. We spend seven hours at school and then we're supposed to come home and do more schoolwork.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[Doug]

Homework is outrageous. And I'm sorry.

[Jeff Lewis]

I agree with her.

[Doug]

It's been going on for centuries.

[Jeff Lewis]

Thanks for listening. If you want more of this, listen to Jeff Lewis Live every weekday on SiriusXM, as well as the Jeff Lewis Channel exclusively on the SiriusXM app.

If you thought goldenly breaded McDonald's chicken couldn't get more golden, think Golder, because new sweet and smoky special edition Gold sauce is here made for your chicken favorites.

[Jeff Lewis]

I participate in McDonald's for a limited time.
