Okay, they've been in several car accidents that result in lawsuits and big settlements. And big settlements. And recently they got in another one on the 405.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

I see. Okay.

[Franklin Becker]

But we're trying to get a house in San Francisco. Yes.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

You gotta have a few more.

[Franklin Becker]

I saw your view. Very pretty view from your roof deck.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes. But it was not our fault. The girl fell asleep at the wheel of the car.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Are you kidding?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes, Jameson.

[Franklin Becker]

When she fell asleep, she fell asleep. And then she fell asleep. She runs into a car, Mercedes van. And then when she hit that card.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

On the 405, press 1 7.

[Franklin Becker]

And then she went the other way.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes. And then slammed into our car. And it was like the worst.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, it was really scary.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

That is scary.

[Dahlvette Quince]

We're lucky to be alive.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, we're lucky to be alive.

[Franklin Becker]

We didn't go that far to be.

[Patrick Simpson]

Lucky to be alive.

[Dahlvette Quince]

She had two cars.

[Jeff Lewis]

Can I ask you.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Did anyone. The police, the paramedics, ask her what she was listening to when she fell asleep?

[Franklin Becker]

Jeff Lewis, Live.

[Patrick Simpson]

I think it was 90s on nine.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's my.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I think you're right.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's my guys.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, my God.

[Dahlvette Quince]

It's putting me to sleep.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

That is not driving music.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, no. Well, it's her. She also has her own show.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, oh, wait. What was her bid? What was her final bid?

[Jeff Lewis]

I think it was like.

[Patrick Simpson]

Like over $900.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, it wasn't. It was over 800 because Nicole beat her.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, only 800.

[Franklin Becker]

By the way, I think I bought one of my fan socials today. I got an email and I was like logging into it, and I was trying to put my email address because it said, oh, you're gonna get news, you're gonna get newsletter and all this other stuff. And I'm like, I'm not gonna ask Patrick to do it. I can do it. Why not? I think I bought one because I don't have yourself. Can I get a refund?

[Jeff Lewis]

No refunds.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, my God.

[Franklin Becker]

Because I didn't know how to do it. So I was like, oh, my God.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Surprisingly, I believe that he's so bad.

[Franklin Becker]

On the phone, I don't know how to do it.

[Jeff Lewis]

Now, back to the accident. I thought that was interesting. That.

[Franklin Becker]

Which part?

[Jeff Lewis]

You had said that you were in a massage and you quickly corrected him and said physical therapy.

[Dahlvette Quince]

It is physical therapy.

[Franklin Becker]

Well, I was getting a massage during physical therapy. Physical therapy. And my back was cute. Killing me.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, yeah, I can tell.

[Franklin Becker]

I just needed.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yet you're so mobile.

[Patrick Simpson]

You're not walking the same.

[Franklin Becker]

I just needed her to roll some of those.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yet he's so mobile and flexible. It's amazing.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Reflexes are quite great.

[Franklin Becker]

Were you there last night? In my bedroom, on my date night. I. I got to perform, so.

[Jeff Lewis]

What? No. So tell us what else happened in this terrible accident. Well, I mean, like your injuries.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, well, now the car is back in the.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, I took the car to the shop. We have a rental. You didn't see the rental?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Are you on P4 total?

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, the whole back.

[Jeff Lewis]

Is it that blue Hyundai?

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, I would never drive a Hyundai car alone. Oh, is that your Hyundai?

[Franklin Becker]

No, no, it's this. Oops. You know what? It has an emblem in the front.

[Patrick Simpson]

Has a lot of cars.

[Jeff Lewis]

You don't know what kind of car it is.

[Franklin Becker]

It's like a little.

[Dahlvette Quince]

What is this? This is the. I was so mad.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, Mazda.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

We have a key.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

So is your car totaled?

[Dahlvette Quince]

I don't know.

[Franklin Becker]

I think totally at this point it's gonna be totaled because the alignment is total. It drives sideways as it's driving forward.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, wow.

[Franklin Becker]

Cuz the tires are going forward, but the car's like sideways.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, the electrical is all messed up. The electrical's not working.

[Franklin Becker]

Charge anything.

[Jeff Lewis]

How many accidents has that car been in?

[Dahlvette Quince]

5. 4. 4.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Wait, 4? And what period is that?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Never. Never our fault though.

[Jeff Lewis]

Always being incredible.

[Franklin Becker]

What do you do? You can't. And you know what? I couldn't move you. You're sitting duck on the freeway and there's traffic everywhere, so you can't go anywhere. So even if I saw her coming, I'm like, just brace for impact. Because you can't go anywhere.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, especially when you slam on your brakes for no reason. That usually causes people to rear end you.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Especially when you're like, put it in.

[Patrick Simpson]

Reverse on the 170.

[Franklin Becker]

We were barely moving.

[Dahlvette Quince]

There was hardly any traffic. Except behind us.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, well, she came from the side. She didn't come from behind us.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, that's true.

[Franklin Becker]

She was behind us. I think she tried to get over to the other lane. Then when she fell asleep, she was.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

She was like, I'm trying to nap. I'm trying to get.

[Dahlvette Quince]

She actually said she was up all night studying for her big test, that.

[Franklin Becker]

She was going to us. Gave her a hug. Yeah, I did. I gave her a big hug. I said, don't cry. It's okay.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

I said don't cry. We're going to sue this shit out of you. Why don't you go home and get some rest?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Alisa, it did not happen like that.

[Franklin Becker]

You're so mean. Now I know what you would have done.

[Jeff Lewis]

Just real quick because I just am very entertained by this. Your injuries. Tell me about your injuries.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Okay. My left shoulder, the back of my neck, lower back, the left. Left side. She doesn't give me my left side.

[Franklin Becker]

She doesn't have that kind of insurance. She doesn't.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, were you guys disappointed?

[Franklin Becker]

Basic insurance. Poor thing. I mean. No, but she needs a new car, that's for sure. Because her front end of the car. No, it just felt.

[Jeff Lewis]

What do you mean? So what does it mean, basic insurance? So what's the payout looking like?

[Franklin Becker]

I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to.

[Jeff Lewis]

What do we think?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Well, it's under her parents policy, so we're. Okay.

[Jeff Lewis]

So we could sue her parents.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

Hopefully her parents have money, but I'm sure they have assets.

[Franklin Becker]

They do.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Not that we've checked.

[Franklin Becker]

Not that we've checked. Are. Are. Are you doing a credit report right now?

[Jeff Lewis]

Look at Naya just looking at you with jud it.

[Franklin Becker]

Does she have a beautiful haircut?

[Dahlvette Quince]

It's cute.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, look at you deflecting.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

I know.

[Franklin Becker]

What do you mean? She has a gorgeous haircut.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Look at her.

[Franklin Becker]

She's beautiful.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, but, Jeff, it was not our fault. Literally, was not our fault.

[Jeff Lewis]

This one might not have been.

[Dahlvette Quince]

The last one wasn't. But it's standing.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

You've had four.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Okay, well, I got.

[Jeff Lewis]

You were standing in the road. That's. Yes, you should have been in the road.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, they ran me over.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

This is. This is not real.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I swear. It is.

[Jeff Lewis]

It is real. On Fairfax. No, Beverly.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

On Melrose.

[Jeff Lewis]

Melrose. Melrose in Fairfax.

[Franklin Becker]

Yep.

[Jeff Lewis]

He got thrown up onto the other car.

[Franklin Becker]

He was lunged.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Patrick Simpson]

He had just got his bbl, so like they just. They smacked the ass.

[Dahlvette Quince]

They had to take my pants. They had to cut my pants off. No, he took them off because they were going to cut them off. Took my pants off me.

[Franklin Becker]

I took them off.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

This is unreal.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But I love those pants. I'm glad daddy didn't cut. Let them cut.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

He left the pants.

[Jeff Lewis]

But I'm sorry, like, could you just explain? Because I just find this funny.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Why did you pull his pants off in the accident?

[Franklin Becker]

You know when you watch.

[Dahlvette Quince]

They were gonna cut him off. No.

[Franklin Becker]

You know when you watch those paramedic dramas and all these things, they always take the clothes off.

[Patrick Simpson]

They always cut the pants on. That.

[Franklin Becker]

They do. And I didn't want them to take the pants off and stuff and cut them off. Yeah. And I'm like, no, I'm gonna save.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Thee so you really.

[Jeff Lewis]

So I just pantsed him.

[Patrick Simpson]

He pantsed him if he wasn't embarrassed enough.

[Franklin Becker]

And then all the people at high school, I had to call them out because I had to. Well, because I talked there. So they came.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh, you do?

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, yeah. So they came out and then they were like, I can't even look that way because he's half naked.

[Jeff Lewis]

Did you have underwear on?

[Dahlvette Quince]

I did, but I was on a stretcher. And I'm like on the stretcher and suddenly he just starts pulling my pants down and taking them off of me. So I didn't know what was going on.

[Franklin Becker]

But you know what? After they put him in the ambulance, I got nervous. So I went inside the ambulance and apparently you can't go inside the Ambul. I'm like, why? Why can't I go inside the ambulance?

[Dahlvette Quince]

You actually. Wait a minute. You actually took my watch off and took my jewelry off too.

[Franklin Becker]

That's why I was on the stretcher. I was like, he's passed out. I don't know what they're going to do to him. If they're going to molest him. I'm taking the jewelry. And they're.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, someone could steal it. You never know.

[Franklin Becker]

You never know. And then they're going to say, oh yeah, he wasn't wearing your. I'm like, honey, that's my retirement. I am keeping.

[Jeff Lewis]

You know what's interesting is that most people be really concerned about their partner and being injured.

[Franklin Becker]

I was. I took my.

[Jeff Lewis]

But you think to yourself, you thinking, I'm going to save the $250 jeans. I'm going to get his jewelry, I'm going to get his Rolex.

[Franklin Becker]

You are so.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, I'm just.

[Dahlvette Quince]

That is true.

[Jeff Lewis]

Not a lot of people would have thought about that.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, they wouldn't.

[Jeff Lewis]

You know, and I got.

[Franklin Becker]

Trying to save him. I got the 911 police. I got. I chased the. The lady that would. That drove off.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, because she was your money. She was your money ticket driving off.

[Franklin Becker]

After she hit me.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Hit me and drove off. Yeah. And then she told him there's nothing.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Wrong with bad karma. That is like bad karma.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Then she told him there's nothing wrong with her car. She didn't even know she like why he started.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

How did. So you caught her on.

[Franklin Becker]

Yes, because her rear view mirror. You know how you have.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

On film.

[Franklin Becker]

You know how you have the rear view mirror. It caved into her window.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

Her glass windows. No, hers. Side mirror.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Her side.

[Franklin Becker]

Her side mirror. Because the impact of that. The impact of where. Where he ran bbl.

[Dahlvette Quince]

His.

[Franklin Becker]

She ran over her to his toes. And that mirror came sideways, so he jumped onto the. To the. Bounce onto the right. What's the fender? The hood.

[Dahlvette Quince]

The hood.

[Franklin Becker]

And then bounced back onto our car.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, and then she's going. And then she got stuck in traffic, so he stopped her and flagged her down. Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

You know, it's bad karma when you purposely throw yourself in front of a car.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

I did. For an insurance payoff.

[Dahlvette Quince]

First of all, I haven't. I only got half my settlement. I'm still waiting for the other half of that.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Wait, were your toes broken?

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, my. No, they weren't broken. But.

[Jeff Lewis]

What do you mean waiting for the other half? Why don't you get the whole settlement?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Because they're doing. Because they had to max hers out. Right. And now they're doing another one.

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you sue in her parents, too?

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

What are her parents do.

[Dahlvette Quince]

This is not sounding good, but it's really like.

[Franklin Becker]

I wish.

[Jeff Lewis]

No, it doesn't. And that's what we've been telling you.

[Franklin Becker]

I wish.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

I mean, it does sound a little.

[Franklin Becker]

Don't join that tutu trainer. Okay, But I want to stay out of this.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But it's not my fault. I was just trying to get into my car. It's not like, you know that.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

That is crazy.

[Jeff Lewis]

Here's the big question here.

[Franklin Becker]

Yes.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Will there be two more? Because things happen in threes and this is only four. So I feel there are two more coming.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Well, we were driving on the freeway last week and half of the piece of the back of the car came off because that's when he's. So then finally like, okay, we got to take this in to the body.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah. It's not safe to drive the car. I thought it would be okay, but they only give you like so many days, like 30 days or whatever. I said. Well, let them order the parts.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

They're like, no, you have to bring the car in because we have to take the whole back end off to be able to kind of identify because there's little things going on and nothing's working.

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you two have life insurance on each other?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, that's problematic.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah. What is it? A two million dollar policy each, I think.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, yours is.

[Jeff Lewis]

Are they both 2 million each?

[Franklin Becker]

Not mine. No.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Wait, how much is yours?

[Jeff Lewis]

Look, he's pissed. Yeah.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Wait a minute. Why am I 2 million? How many is yours?

[Jeff Lewis]

How much is yours? A million.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, it better be a fucking million.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, no, no, I'm not. Obviously it gives its motive.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, it's more.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

What?

[Dahlvette Quince]

I'm so confused.

[Jeff Lewis]

Honestly, if I was married to Patrick, I would not have any insurance. Life insurance.

[Dahlvette Quince]

There's no way you're going to disappear.

[Franklin Becker]

He would get.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know you're going to disappear.

[Franklin Becker]

Why do you think mine is? Yeah, you know, because look at him. He looks a little zero tonight.

[Jeff Lewis]

Perturbed by this.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I don't understand.

[Jeff Lewis]

Very sus.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Wait, what is the policy amount?

[Jeff Lewis]

Oh, well, look at him. He's like. He's mad about it.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, wow.

[Jeff Lewis]

I wouldn't do it.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I didn't know this.

[Franklin Becker]

You should have seen him yesterday. He was telling me off all day. I swear to God, he runs me like so.

[Jeff Lewis]

You call that insurance company and you cancel.

[Franklin Becker]

That's what I'm gonna do.

[Jeff Lewis]

Honestly, your life is at risk.

[Franklin Becker]

Jeff is a good friend. Jeff understands me.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, geez.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm. I'm. I'm. One of them is gonna die a Jeff.

[Franklin Becker]

If we.

[Jeff Lewis]

Gruesome death.

[Franklin Becker]

If we. If we ever divorce, whose friend would you stay?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh.

[Franklin Becker]

Friends with?

[Jeff Lewis]

Honestly, neither.

[Dahlvette Quince]

There's no way.

[Jeff Lewis]

And honestly, it's the perfect excuse. Oh, I can't Paul because, you know, my friendship with Patrick. I can't Patrick because of my friendship with Paul.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Very convenient.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I know, right? Oh, my God.

[Franklin Becker]

God, I can't believe you.

[Jeff Lewis]

By the way, last night we were at. So we had a $5,000 dinner. Drinks. Oh, drinks, sorry. $5,000 drinks at. You just go to fansocial Co to book now. We went to the Pendry.

[Patrick Simpson]

Oh, yes, that's on the roof.

[Jeff Lewis]

Marois.

[Patrick Simpson]

Marois.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, I like that place.

[Jeff Lewis]

So we have this really nice time with these five girls. We have a great time and then.

[Franklin Becker]

Five girls.

[Jeff Lewis]

Five girls. Yeah. So then they said, hey, can we get a group photo? And I said, yeah, I just don't want to do it in the middle of the restaurant. Let's go back to the lobby area. So we're on our way. And I'd noticed this girl had come in and sit down. Very good looking couple. And she was gorgeous. And I had noticed her, and when I walked out, she's like, hey, Jeff. And I go. And I'd already kind of left the room, but then I heard her. So then I kind of walked back and I go, hey. And she goes, you don't know me. Oh, but I am the person who took pictures of your ex with his ex at Chiconi's and sent it to you.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, my God, no way.

[Jeff Lewis]

And I'm like, I want to tell you, I really, really appreciate it. Thank you for having my back. Thank you for supporting me. I said, unfortunately, it took a few more incidents for me to leave. I said, but thank you. Thanks, Chandler.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh my gosh, you're kidding.

[Franklin Becker]

Sweet.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

That's amazing.

[Jeff Lewis]

Then she texted me this morning and she said not texted, but she dm. She said, hey, it was really nice to finally meet you in the flesh. And I said, it was really nice to meet you. And, and I said, how was your date? Because he was hot. And she goes, I broke up with him last night.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Why?

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, she was telling me like she's been dating him for six months. And he first initially did not tell her that he was married. He was separated, but he didn't tell her that he was married and separated.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Then a good start.

[Jeff Lewis]

And then, oh, it's gonna get worse.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh no.

[Jeff Lewis]

Then she's, they go on like several, several dates and she's starting like, feel him out, like, do you want kids? And he's like, yeah, I really love kids.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Well, I do have six.

[Jeff Lewis]

Three months later, he spills it. He's got a kid.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

He doesn't tell her.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

This is a bad person.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, that's bad.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

This is a really bad.

[Dahlvette Quince]

That's stuff you need to say right up front.

[Jeff Lewis]

And she's like, I got a lot more questions.

[Franklin Becker]

Wait a min. How did they, how did they even get together? Because they swiped right and left and that's not in the.

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't know. I didn't ask her how she met him. But, but she's like, this is drama. It's like a long story over drinks. I'm like, I'm down. Let me know.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Fansocial co.

[Jeff Lewis]

But isn't that crazy?

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

That's crazy. I hate, I'm, I'm sorry for her. I hate that.

[Jeff Lewis]

But what I noticed too, once again, chumps are so good looking.

[Franklin Becker]

They're hot.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, they're hot.

[Franklin Becker]

They're all hot.

[Jeff Lewis]

Like this woman was like a head turner. Like when she walked in it was like, damn.

[Franklin Becker]

Well, I did.

[Patrick Simpson]

And the girls that we were with.

[Franklin Becker]

I did two live reads yesterday. One flew in from. Where did she fly in from?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Northern California.

[Franklin Becker]

Northern California.

[Jeff Lewis]

Live reads?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, the coffee, Coffee reading at the boutique.

[Jeff Lewis]

I was like, you do them too? I got two more today.

[Franklin Becker]

Well, she, she actually got picked up by her best friend. Yeah. Who goes to Pilates with Jackie Schimmel.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

And so, so we took a picture with all our bags and sent it to Jackie and said, oh, look, at the bags.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

What happened to. Because this is something else. That's sketch.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh boy.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh no.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh boy.

[Jeff Lewis]

Your neighbor's house burned to the ground.

[Franklin Becker]

To the ground. It was like a fireplace.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

But nothing happened to your house?

[Dahlvette Quince]

No.

[Jeff Lewis]

No smoke damage?

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, no smoke damage. Wait, did we do smoke damage? I don't think we did.

[Patrick Simpson]

You just gave them an idea.

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you have an alibi?

[Franklin Becker]

We were home.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh, I don't feel.

[Franklin Becker]

No, wait, wait.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

It's the opposite of it.

[Jeff Lewis]

Arson.

[Dahlvette Quince]

The craziest thing is they just. Okay, so there's a woman that was living in the house and then she has memory problems. So they.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, she's in memory care.

[Jeff Lewis]

The kids put her in memory takes Venus CBD also.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I know, right? Yeah. And so she, we thought she was in the house, but she wasn't. About 3:00 in the morning I woke up and I closed the windows. Because he leaves the fucking windows open in our floor of our house every night. And I was like three in the morning, I'm like, I'm freezing. So I go to close the windows and then I see this explosion and the whole, the house started. It's three story house.

[Franklin Becker]

Three story house.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Every floor was on fire.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Oh my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

You afraid? She was in there.

[Dahlvette Quince]

We were freaking out.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, she was sleeping in bed and of course her cigarette butt fell down and blew up the whole house. Because we don't have gas in our area. It's only electric. So how is it that are on fire?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, so there's a, there's a ravine. Because we don't have neighbors. There's a ravine and then up the hill on the opposite side. That's where the house is. So we look out our window, you could see it. And the whole flames were coming down the mountain, coming down the ravine towards our house. And then we were like, kept calling the fire department, like literally 20 minutes it took them to get there.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm sure you were fanning the flames in your direction.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

[Franklin Becker]

We had helicopters.

[Dahlvette Quince]

It's crazy.

[Franklin Becker]

They were bringing, scooping up water from people's swimming pools and bringing helicopter.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

This is crazy. I've never heard so many crazy things happen to people.

[Franklin Becker]

It's so random. I, I, I don't understand.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

And then the crazy, a lot of acts of God.

[Dahlvette Quince]

The craziest thing is when after the fire department came, they put the house out.

[Franklin Becker]

Out.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But then the whole house collapsed and came down.

[Jeff Lewis]

The what?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Whole house is just, it was a.

[Franklin Becker]

Three story house against a hill.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Collapsed all the way down.

[Franklin Becker]

Just got smooshed into like on the side.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Did they find out what started the fire?

[Dahlvette Quince]

They say arson. They don't know how. They got someone video. They've someone on the video on the porch. Somebody light going on a light going on the third floor. And then all the house just went up in flames. And the thing is, they had sold the house the day before.

[Franklin Becker]

Escrow hasn't signed yet.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, the people flew into escrow, had not closed.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, it was a day late. So they had flown in that.

[Franklin Becker]

So I don't know what. That's a line.

[Jeff Lewis]

Right.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Because then wouldn't they make if the seller like.

[Franklin Becker]

Well, who owns the house? Yeah, the seller or the buyer.

[Dahlvette Quince]

They don't know if it was a.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

It didn't close.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Unhappy ex or something that did it. They don't know. They don't know what the whole.

[Patrick Simpson]

She was not home.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, she was not. She was in a home. Oh, yeah, she's in a home.

[Franklin Becker]

She's in memory care because the kids put her there.

[Jeff Lewis]

This is insane.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I know. It's crazy.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Really crazy.

[Jeff Lewis]

So somebody. Why would somebody purposely burn it down if it was an escrow?

[Dahlvette Quince]

We don't know if it was the.

[Franklin Becker]

In that circumstance, the buyer then cancels escrow, right? They back out.

[Jeff Lewis]

Of course, right?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, I think so. Right.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah, of course.

[Franklin Becker]

Or not. If they didn't tell the buyer yet and they went to the signing.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Well, it was all over the news.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

I'm sure they were pleased to hear.

[Franklin Becker]

Out of curiosity, do you have homeowners insurance when you're in escrow as a buyer or you don't have it yet?

[Jeff Lewis]

No, the seller still has the homeowner insurance. It's the seller's home, the seller's insurance company.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But the worst thing is we live in the fire zone, so we can't get regular insurance. We only can get California Fair Plan, which is the worst. Fucking insurance doesn't cover shit. So I don't know what it's going to cover there because that's all they could get. Yeah, that's all they can get is California Fair Plan.

[Franklin Becker]

I've been trying to move out, but it's just.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm just trying to think what you guys are going to get out of this because I know you'll find some way to profit. Right.

[Patrick Simpson]

Emotional turmoil.

[Jeff Lewis]

Do you buy it then from the bank for a portion of what it's worth.

[Patrick Simpson]

Oh, the land.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, the land. Yes, good idea. I better go ask. How do you know?

[Dahlvette Quince]

I haven't had that conversation yet. Oh, my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's just interesting. They saw a tall blonde guy on the third floor. Something. You got something to gain in all of this?

[Franklin Becker]

He doesn't wear a hat or a mask. I mean, he'll just show himself. He doesn't hide.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No. Really sad, though, like. And it was close. It was weird.

[Jeff Lewis]

At least she wasn't in the home.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, that was.

[Jeff Lewis]

No one was home? No, just Patrick.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Just Patrick.

[Jeff Lewis]

She was the only one in the house.

[Franklin Becker]

But, you know, it was kind of scary because I had never seen anything like that. And I thought to myself, oh, my God, imagine if somebody's home and you don't know and you couldn't get out because she was a little handicapped, too. I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah, like, that must be scary to think for sure. Because the way we saw it, it looked like a movie set.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

It goes up quickly, doesn't it?

[Franklin Becker]

Every single window, every single door was blowing out and the fire was coming out all three floors.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Also makes it seem like arson, right? I mean, a fire that just starts isn't going to sustain my life.

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't know if I'd get out of my house in time. I'm so slow with my back. I don't know if I'd get out.

[Franklin Becker]

You need to go to physical therapy. Yes.

[Jeff Lewis]

You mean massage? Massage Env. We're at Massage Envy. Getting our physical therapy. Burke Williams.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

Wait, you mean Burke Williams?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

I didn't realize Burke Williams does physical therapy now.

[Franklin Becker]

They do.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Do not do your therapy at Burke Williams.

[Jeff Lewis]

All right, we're gonna take a quick break. Are you hanging out?

[Franklin Becker]

I gotta go.

[Elisa Donovan Politu]

No, I gotta go.

Andrea in Virginia. Hi, Andrea. Hey.

[Franklin Becker]

How are you guys?

[Jeff Lewis]

Good.

[Franklin Becker]

Hey, I was calling because I thought it was interesting that Bryn called you a pig on Watch what Happens live. But then in an episode of Housewives this season, she got mad at UBA because she called her a snake. And she said she doesn't play that way. She doesn't call people names.

[Patrick Simpson]

You're right.

[Jeff Lewis]

You're right. She's very hypocritical. Very hypocritical.

[Patrick Simpson]

Yeah, she's a pigeon.

[Franklin Becker]

I just thought that was really weird.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, I like that.

[Jeff Lewis]

I saw some article today where it says, I'm. What is it?

[Patrick Simpson]

You got down in the dirt?

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm getting in the mud, you know, off, you know, playing off the whole pig comment. But I, I mean, I don't, I feel like I've handled myself.

[Patrick Simpson]

Well, you kind of explained it, and.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm curious because I was thinking this, this morning, I bet she'll go into that reunion saying that I called her a hooker, an escort, or whatever. A prostitute. But I did not. I never, I never said that.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No.

[Jeff Lewis]

So it's gonna be interesting, the lies that she's going to spin in the reunion.

[Patrick Simpson]

No, but I like it because they'll hopefully play the tape and then watch her, you know, have to react about, like, what you actually did say.

[Jeff Lewis]

You know, I was hoping that some of my girls will defend me. I don't, I know Sy will. I don't know, because Aaron's trying to keep the peace right now with Brynn, so I don't know if she'll defend me, but I know Sy will for sure, so we'll see. Thank you, Andrea.

[Franklin Becker]

But what do you need defending me? Throw it back down.

[Dahlvette Quince]

You don't need defenders.

[Jeff Lewis]

She lies.

[Franklin Becker]

She just lies. That's the point.

[Jeff Lewis]

Will believe that.

[Franklin Becker]

But lies?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes.

[Dahlvette Quince]

She's not an escort.

[Patrick Simpson]

Escort.

[Dahlvette Quince]

She was. No. Oh, I thought that. Well, there's a bunch of rumors, like, about that.

[Franklin Becker]

I, I, I think if you lie or you put on a show, it only lasts so long, and then you're caught in yourself, and then what are you going to do? You're exposed. That's awful.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, so I don't. Yeah. So when take. We'll do another.

[Dahlvette Quince]

How did you get dragged into it, though? That's so weird.

[Patrick Simpson]

He inserted himself.

[Franklin Becker]

No, not Jeff.

[Jeff Lewis]

As I do.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Jeff, a hot mic.

[Jeff Lewis]

By the way, I do want to talk about the hair transplant that you got.

[Franklin Becker]

I know.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay, so how painful was it? I know I'm scheduled.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, you told me. It's not painful at all. Okay, but where are you going to get it done? Just on the side.

[Jeff Lewis]

The side. This side is receding. My right side is receding.

[Franklin Becker]

Front, too. You know this.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know they're going to do here.

[Franklin Becker]

Front, this, whatever. This.

[Jeff Lewis]

They're doing both sides and the front and then also the crown.

[Franklin Becker]

The crown.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But they're not cutting you. They're just taking the back hair, right?

[Jeff Lewis]

They're shaving my head. Yeah, but they're not going to cut it. Yeah, yeah, but still, like, I don't. Did they shave. They didn't shave your whole head?

[Franklin Becker]

No, I had it styled. I had the them style my hair first, and then they knew exactly the portion that they were going to take it out from. And then they took it out.

[Jeff Lewis]

They cut it.

[Franklin Becker]

No, no, I did it one at a time. And then they bathed it in PRP. They separated them into one thread. 2 and 3. Because that's how your hair grows. It's 1, 2, and 3.

[Dahlvette Quince]

And then they visually put them in.

[Franklin Becker]

One at a time.

[Jeff Lewis]

I mean, you look great. And I now don't remember the before, so was there a dramatic before, after?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, God, yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

Insanely dramatic.

[Jeff Lewis]

Really?

[Franklin Becker]

I can't believe I ever walked around the way I did. It's like a boob job. You know when you get sagging boobs.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes, I know.

[Franklin Becker]

That's gonna be next for you.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes.

[Franklin Becker]

It's insane. I could not believe it.

[Jeff Lewis]

Everyone is happy that everyone that talks about it, they say they're happy.

[Franklin Becker]

Go to the right person. Dr. V. That did mine in Beverly Hills. I mean, the man is a genius because he's an artist when it comes to stuff like that. So you have to go to the person. Like the Botox lady that knows how to transplant isn't the person that does it.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Right.

[Franklin Becker]

You have to know your face. You have to know.

[Jeff Lewis]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

Where your lines are.

[Jeff Lewis]

A facialist in San Diego. I got a great deal.

[Franklin Becker]

Are they paying you for this one, too? You can't remember the name.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, my God.

[Jeff Lewis]

That's funny. No, it's Dr. Ross in San Diego. Jonathan Bennett went to.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Oh, and he's got great hair.

[Jeff Lewis]

Well, apparently it wasn't so great. According to Dr. Ross, beforehand really But I.

[Franklin Becker]

Why aren't you going to my doctor? He's amazing and he's.

[Jeff Lewis]

Because he's going to charge me 30 grand.

[Franklin Becker]

No, he's not.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But you have thick hair, right?

[Jeff Lewis]

Yes.

[Dahlvette Quince]

See, I can't. There keeps. They keep saying I got a strengthen my hair before I could do it.

[Franklin Becker]

But you know, you're gonna have some before you're gonna have to take the holy.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, I didn't know you had it before.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Thank you, James.

[Patrick Simpson]

Picture of Cole right here in the studio.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Do you see?

[Franklin Becker]

Look at.

[Jeff Lewis]

You know who you look like? Lucy Lou.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Who? God.

[Patrick Simpson]

When the Christmas spirit.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Wow.

[Franklin Becker]

With the little thing in the frick.

[Dahlvette Quince]

You are bald.

[Franklin Becker]

Wow.

[Jeff Lewis]

It really worked. Wow. He did a good job.

[Franklin Becker]

It's insane.

[Jeff Lewis]

Wow. So you weren't in pain?

[Franklin Becker]

No, because they not. Well, how many graphs are you gonna do? I'll tell you. Are you gonna do one time or two times?

[Jeff Lewis]

One time.

[Franklin Becker]

One time.

[Dahlvette Quince]

That's what he did.

[Franklin Becker]

That's what you need to do.

[Jeff Lewis]

3,000 graphs.

[Franklin Becker]

Did he tell you how many. How much time? How many hours?

[Jeff Lewis]

Nine hours.

[Franklin Becker]

14.

[Dahlvette Quince]

His is like 1314.

[Jeff Lewis]

How many graphs?

[Franklin Becker]

3251.

[Jeff Lewis]

Wow. You were there for 14 hours?

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, I slept, I woke up, they knocked me out again.

[Jeff Lewis]

Valium or what?

[Franklin Becker]

I don't know. They just kept juicing me out. I have no idea what happened.

[Jeff Lewis]

Real juiced.

[Franklin Becker]

And there were three people that did it. Dr. And two assistants. Because they never stopped. They had to keep doing it because.

[Jeff Lewis]

What about for lunch?

[Franklin Becker]

Well, they would kind of like.

[Jeff Lewis]

Were you hungry? Did you eat?

[Franklin Becker]

I forgot all about it. I had no idea.

[Jeff Lewis]

Did you watch tv?

[Franklin Becker]

No. You're sleeping and waking up and you're talking and then there's like. They're telling you stories. One of my.

[Jeff Lewis]

Could you imagine? Hold on one second. Could you imagine if I'm like in this haze and I wake up and gown and out in Beverly Hills is on. I will jump right out the window.

[Patrick Simpson]

I'm gonna put season four on for you and just leave.

[Dahlvette Quince]

You gotta catch up before season five.

[Franklin Becker]

Can I tell you that one of the girls that was doing my hair used to be a stripper in Vegas?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, that's right.

[Franklin Becker]

So she told me.

[Patrick Simpson]

And you're telling him. Don't get some. Don't get a facialist off the street.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, but she went to school after and she's been. She practiced. She's been doing it for years now. But when she was younger, she put herself through.

[Jeff Lewis]

Former stripper.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, she put herself through entrepreneurial. I Woke up. We had nothing better to do.

[Jeff Lewis]

I had to have a concert for 14 hours.

[Franklin Becker]

I know her whole life story. She was beautiful, too.

[Jeff Lewis]

I feel sorry for those three people. I'm going to start from the beginning. Well, St. Jude Hospital, 1970. Let's start from the beginning.

[Franklin Becker]

You know how you like him to have all the attention. And so you sit there.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Who's doing. Who's going with you when you do the surgery?

[Jeff Lewis]

My son.

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah. You need to have somebody hold your hand in the very beginning until you get 14 hours.

[Patrick Simpson]

I know for sure I'm gonna go shopping.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Exactly.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm worried that the volume's not gonna be enough.

[Franklin Becker]

No, they'll just be giving it to you. But here's the other thing. It's not just the volume that they're gonna give you. They're gonna numb the entire surface area.

[Jeff Lewis]

I know they will, but the shots, the initial shots, because that's what hurts. When I did the.

[Franklin Becker]

Give you the. They knock you out first, then they do the shots. They don't do the shots.

[Jeff Lewis]

I think I need to take a Xanax on the way. Then they can give a Valium.

[Patrick Simpson]

I'll ask Judy.

[Franklin Becker]

What's the deal with the 1, 2, 3? I'm curious. Is it different hair? There's different kinds of hair. The follicle. The f. Yeah. The follicles come in one strand. The two and the three. Oh, so one follicle. Because. Because. Has, like, three strands of hair coming out of it. And those go in the center of your head. Oh, I did. That's why when you look at someone's hair, it. It. You see, like, little ones in the front. They're not, like, thick. Thick. And then that's when you know it's a toupee.

[Dahlvette Quince]

It's very interesting, the process, because you. When they take it out and then they're like. They have to clean it and they're dipping it and doing.

[Franklin Becker]

Are you going to do PRP at the same time? You're going to have to do prp.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, they do.

[Franklin Becker]

They have to bathe. No, they don't.

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't know if they do.

[Franklin Becker]

You have to ask them to do PRP the same time because that's what's going to strengthen the follicle. The root of it.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

Before they insert it.

[Jeff Lewis]

Did you wear that after. How soon can you wear a cap up?

[Franklin Becker]

But I never wanted to wear one.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Because his hair was so great. He's like, I don't know.

[Franklin Becker]

I was not gonna wear one.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

And the reason And I didn't wash my hair. And I didn't wash my head the next day either. I left it on for 14 days. And the reason why I left it.

[Jeff Lewis]

On is because I left what on?

[Franklin Becker]

Well, because you're a little bloody. So they. They.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah, I know. He wouldn't take a shower. I'm like, you gotta wash your hair. No, I'm not doing it yet. I'm not doing it yet. You should not wash his hair.

[Franklin Becker]

I took a shower, but I didn't wash my hair. And so what they do is they.

[Jeff Lewis]

Tell you, I'm not gonna have any hair.

[Franklin Becker]

No, you are. The little follicles. It's all gonna be bloody. So they want you to massage and wash your head with, like, a bucket of water. Like, just very gently, gingerly putting it.

[Jeff Lewis]

This is worth it, right?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yes, but the worst thing is the first.

[Franklin Becker]

You're gonna get a date.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No, but the worst thing is the first month your hair gets really, really full and thick. And then it all falls out.

[Franklin Becker]

It all falls out.

[Dahlvette Quince]

And then you'll freak out because you're, like, bald. You lost all your hair. It grows back.

[Franklin Becker]

It's like going to home dep and planting it. It's like the olive trees. You put it. Anthony Anderson. You know how it was a beautiful tree at one point, and you brought it there, and then it just fell apart and died. Yeah, but then if you'd left it there and fertilized it, then it would have grown back.

[Dahlvette Quince]

But it's like a Chia Pet when you put a lot of metaphors. When you put the water on, it grows really, really big, and then it falls after.

[Jeff Lewis]

You never wore a hat.

[Franklin Becker]

I never wore one.

[Jeff Lewis]

I was thinking of a nice sailor's cap, maybe.

[Patrick Simpson]

No, I have one for Halloween.

[Franklin Becker]

No. You do.

[Dahlvette Quince]

No.

[Jeff Lewis]

No. Why?

[Franklin Becker]

No. Why? That's.

[Patrick Simpson]

I have my.

[Franklin Becker]

These are the mistakes that everybody makes, and then they.

[Jeff Lewis]

I cannot walk around like that, Jeff.

[Franklin Becker]

Then. No, don't.

[Dahlvette Quince]

You'll be fine.

[Franklin Becker]

Because here's what happened.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Freaks out.

[Franklin Becker]

Every single person that wore a hat had to go back for a second. Second time.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Correct.

[Franklin Becker]

And the reason why is because every time you're putting the hat on, you're putting the pressure on it. The hat that they want you to wear is a cap that only goes around the circumference. The parts that they didn't do.

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yeah.

[Franklin Becker]

In your case, you're doing the side. You can't put a hat. Don't do a hat.

[Jeff Lewis]

Can you make me, like, just some fabric that I just wrap around?

[Franklin Becker]

Yeah, I'LL do it all in sequence.

[Dahlvette Quince]

I love that.

[Franklin Becker]

We'll see you coming and going.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm a little bit nervous.

[Franklin Becker]

We'll find you.

[Jeff Lewis]

How long do you think it'll take for me to look normal again?

[Franklin Becker]

Oh, that's. That's a question for a therapist. I don't even know. I mean, hell, where's Dr. Donna when you need her?

[Dahlvette Quince]

Yours was like three months. Three, four months.

[Franklin Becker]

It takes six months.

[Dahlvette Quince]

About six months, yeah.

[Jeff Lewis]

It's a long time.

[Franklin Becker]

I was good after a month and a half.

[Jeff Lewis]

You can't do video here for a while. We got to talk about that.

[Franklin Becker]

No, let me tell you. You're good after a month and a half. You're gorgeous. You'll see. Do it the way I'm telling you to do it. And the pills that they're going to give you, take them.

[Dahlvette Quince]

The finasteride and all of that.

[Franklin Becker]

Take them.

[Jeff Lewis]

Okay.

[Franklin Becker]

A lot of people go, oh, I'm going to be impotent. Oh, I'm not going to get a hard on.

[Jeff Lewis]

I'm like, well, I got that problem now.

[Franklin Becker]

I know. No, but I'm like, you're peeing in your pants. Any.
