A
They said that I am by far the most difficult talent that they're working with. You know, we could say we don't judge. I judge and I was judging. Money doesn't make you an asshole. But if you're an asshole and with a ton of money, you're gonna be a bigger asshole. Why are you looking at me? No, I didn'.
B
I didn't mean to.
A
I didn't mean to look in that direction.
C
Jeff Lewis has issues.
A
Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Gigi and Cynthia Bailey join the show. We talk about Gigi's obsession with crows and her son's scary themed birthday party. Plus, Cynthia talks about her icon award. Good morning.
C
Morning.
A
So I didn't know this, but Cynthia Bailey just told me. So you were in the green room putting on your lashes.
C
I was.
D
And then.
A
And you look great. But you sat down and you said that now these eyelashes are out. Girls are not wearing well.
B
Okay, I can't. I don't know where we're gonna go there. So I can't officially confirm that I'm not the eyelash, you know, ambassador or anything, but I did read somewhere that like, lashes were kind of out, even mascara. Like, people are just really embracing their natural lash.
A
Yes, but I mean, some people have no. Like I have stumps of lashes. And I'm sure, like women that we have stumps.
D
You need extensions.
A
I do. So what about. Okay, so I understand. More of a natural look. Yeah, but you still would need some sort of extension. You do extensions, Ganessa?
C
I do extensions. I only do it mostly cause it's easier being on tv. I don't have to put on mascara or fake lash strips every time. You kind of just wake up a little natural.
A
How long do they Last.
C
Oh, I go every two weeks for a fill. Wow.
A
So you have to go every two weeks and what does that.
B
That's a lot of maintenance.
A
What does that set you back?
C
Every fill is 130 okay for a fill.
A
So 260amonth.
D
That's not bad for the eyelash.
C
I feel like we're counting budget prices again.
A
No, no, no, I'm not. I'm not judging. No, it's important. It looks good. No, there's certain things that you just have to prioritize. Right. Like hair and lashes and makeup.
C
Nails.
B
Nails, nails, for sure.
A
How often are you doing your nails?
C
Oh, as soon as they need to be done.
A
Do you do gels?
C
I do just gels.
A
So I got. I know that people. I didn't realize this, but Monroe me for gels and I didn't realize that it was hard on the nail. So we did do the gels, but then she went in the pool the next day and they came off. Oh, that's like a shitty job, right?
B
Yeah. Usually gels last.
A
They came right off. They came right off.
B
Maybe she had like the kitty gels.
A
I don't. I don't know.
D
They looked pretty grown up, but yeah, I think, I mean, it was just not a good gel.
C
You guys Remember in the 80s, Lee Press on nails?
A
Yes.
C
That's probably that.
A
She. Well, I paid for gels. I mean, I saw the bills.
B
They have really cute little like stick on nails. Like, I think that would maybe be really fun for her because she can change it out and it's not as like hard on her little kid nails.
C
They literally have to saw the gel off.
A
Yeah, well, this one, not. Not in this circumstance. They just came right off in the pool.
C
No, it's like one of those stickies.
A
Okay. No. Yeah, I don't want to do that. Be hard on her. But I don't know about the. So you think I should do the. Get her.
B
This is fun because she can just play with it and you just like peel them off.
A
What about you? What do you have over there?
B
I have. I forgot what it's called. But what is it called when it's like the powder you dip. It's like the powder thing.
C
Yes, I. Powder.
B
I don't know if it's acrylic, but.
C
No, it's powder.
B
It's like a powder.
C
It's almost like a silk wrap used to be, but it's like a powder. It's like a nail polish. It almost looks clear. And then they pour this powder on that Just hardens and it just turns into like a thin.
B
Yeah, I try to do like really natural nails though. Like, I never do like jewels or long because I can't do anything with that. Like, it's like I have stuff to do. I don't have time.
A
Line three. Sarah in Iowa. Hey, Sarah.
E
Hi.
F
How are you?
A
Good. What's up?
F
Sorry, I was getting in my car. I think you should try that ship and play with Ty's luggage. He said he had nine suitcases. He could just ship them, get there, and if it doesn't work, it's not your problem, it's not your stuff.
A
You know what, you're right. I think it's a great idea. And we were just looking at the pricing at the break, depending on how organized you are. So for me, I'm kind of packing the day before. So you'd have to do express delivery. And that's about $250 a bag, which is. Which is steep. But if you pack five days in advance, like he's already packed. Isn't it 80 ship them? Yeah, it's 80, but I'm not planning that far ahead. And it varies. Like what's two days?
D
Two days, okay. I just plugged in from LA to New York, but it's like two days was 200, three days was 125. Or five days was 80.
A
What about Dallas? What about Dallas to Los Angeles? Have you heard of the ship and play?
B
No. What are you guys talking about?
A
What happens is so you have to check your luggage, right? So if you're going to New York and it's a four day or more trip, you can't carry on. You gotta. You gotta check. Yeah, but no one wants to sit in JFK for 45 minutes waiting in the baggage claim, right? So you this company now, they'll pick up your bag from your house, okay? They'll ship it to your hotel. It's in your room. When you get there.
B
Stop. How much does it cost?
A
Anywhere from 80 to 250 to New York. But we're looking at Dallas right now you're a suspect.
C
Yeah, that's. I put way too many important things in my suitcase.
A
Well, I know that's right. Why I'm thinking I want to try it out with someone else's bags. Yeah, we should try like ties or shanes.
B
That's a good idea though.
A
It is a great idea.
B
I'm thinking about it. Yeah. I mean, I would have to.
A
Like you always have a lot of luggage.
B
Like even I always trouble with the police.
A
You had two huge suitcases. I wish we could have done Ship
B
and Play three and I don't think I was the only one with huge suitcases.
A
I don't think anyone had three. You had three.
B
I mean mine was highlighted.
A
It was literally. No, it was three nights. Cuz she had a, A fan social on Thursday night.
D
Thursday, Friday.
A
So one huge suitcase a day, per day.
B
I don't. No matter where I'm going, I always take at least three suitcases. Always. Just in case. Because my life changes. Like I could get like, I'm out here, I'm going, I'm headed to New York on tomorrow night. But if something changes and I have to go somewhere else, it's like, oh, we want you to go on the carpet tonight. Like I travel with gowns. I always bring like a red carpet look with me.
A
Shane does too.
B
Just in case.
D
Always. I'm. Just in case I get red carpet ready.
C
Of course. Yeah.
B
Because I don't want to go buy a bunch of stuff in case, you
D
know, it just makes sense.
B
Like I'm very, I'm very big on preparation.
C
Wow, that's commitment.
A
So three bags. Three huge bags. And you're at the Godfrey tonight. In case anyone wants to meet you or call you.
B
Yes, under my name.
A
You still don't have an alias, boy, Just call me.
B
It is what it is. I don't, you know, an alias thing is like I keep forgetting to ask. So I just sign in, I give them my license.
A
I'm like, if chumps want to call you tonight, what time do you go to bed? Because I don't want them waking up.
B
Well, just don't call me before 12. Like, I mean, I'm sorry, you call me. Yeah, don't call me after 12 because I'm trying to get sleep. I'm a little.
A
What time do you get up tomorrow?
B
I plan on getting up no later than like 8am Pacific Standard Time.
A
So don't call, don't call between 12. But you also are winding down, so maybe stop calling at 11.
B
11? Yeah.
D
That would give her time to watch TV.
B
Exactly. No, it's like a whole.
A
I think that would freak you out if people called you. Your hotel.
C
I'm in bed at nine and I wake up at four.
E
Four.
C
So it's just my hours.
B
You wake up at four in the morning on purpose?
C
I love it. Sometimes it'll hit like the 3:30 mark. I'm like, oh come on, I can make it to four. But I love.
A
What do you do at 4am there's
C
just this weird vibration the earth makes. I think there's this. This silence that I really enjoy. My animals are all quiet. My son's still asleep. I could just be in my zone. The world, the city's just quiet.
B
Yeah, I don't know.
C
I like.
A
What time does your son get up?
C
About 5:36.
A
Yeah, so he's up early. And then what time do the animals get up?
C
As soon as I step foot on the pool.
A
I know my animals get up earlier than Monroe.
C
I hold my pee in all morning.
A
I'm like, we just moved. And I didn't tell you this.
B
Well, you guys moved. You moved into the house. We moved.
C
What?
A
The Cynthia Bailey suite is almost available.
B
Oh my God, your room.
A
What room number is she?
D
She's. She's 204. Yeah, 204. 2:03. 2:03.
A
Okay. You can either be in 203.
B
Finally. It's about time. I've been waiting for you to move into that place.
A
So it's a bigger house than we're used to. And I have one cat. So I have one cat that sticks to me like glue. I have a dog that sticks to me like glue. Follow me wherever I go.
C
Yeah.
A
But then I got this one lone cat, Patrick. And Patrick has been exploring the house all weekend. And I swear to God, he does this shit to me. So I realized last night, where's Patrick? So I have three people, me included, all looking for Patrick. We looked for him for 15 minutes. And I swear to God, he waits till I panic. So we go, we're all looking all over the whole house. Then I think, oh my God, he got outside. So I'm in the backyard with Monroe, and then I'm like, patrick. And then it goes from Patrick, Patrick, Patrick.
C
Yeah.
A
And then I'm like shaking the food, I'm doing the whole thing. And then right when I'm about to get hysterical and call 911, he just shows up. And he's just sitting in that kitchen. And I'm like, I've been calling you for 15 minutes.
C
He's been watching me.
A
And you've been watching me freak out, panic, get everyone. And I don't know where he goes because I looked everywhere in that house.
C
They find these services. They find it.
A
I don't know where. So he's got a hiding place already and I don't know where it is.
C
Well, it's payback, you know, you changed his whole life around and now he has to re acclimate. So he's like, now you re Acclimate to my new attitude, you know, that's his old.
A
That's his old attitude.
C
Yeah.
A
But Patrick and I are very close.
D
When I came in this morning, he came to the front door, he said hello, and then when I sat and got glam, he sat on my lap
B
while I wear makeup.
A
No.
C
Yeah.
D
He wanted to say hello.
E
Are you supposed to have some kind of tradition or some kind of acclimation with animals in new homes?
A
I think the way I move, they're just so used to it. You know what? I noticed that Toby had. He never moved before because we were living at the old house for four years, and Toby's never lived in another house. So he was nervous the first 24 hours. I could see that he was anxious. Cats were fine. They were cool.
C
Yeah.
A
But it's so nice. I'm so glad.
B
How long have you been in there?
A
Three days. Two days. Yeah. But the other thing, too, is I purposely stayed home all weekend because I didn't want to leave, because then the animals. Yeah. They would freak out. Like, where is he going? What are you doing?
D
Doing Right.
A
So we were around all weekend.
B
Congratulations.
C
Do you know what to do if your cat hadn't gotten out? Do you know what to do immediately?
A
No.
C
Put their litter box and their food outside because their scent is so strong that they'll be drawn to that more than they will be drawn to anything else. So meaty. Put their litter box outside.
A
I've never heard of that.
B
So good to know.
A
Okay.
C
Litter box and their food right near it.
A
Yes.
C
And then. So just.
A
I never knew about that.
C
Yeah, same with dogs. Put their food outside, and then they'll come smelling their food.
A
Oh, wow, we have a lot of crows. And I noticed they've been eating the dog food because I feed Toby outside.
C
I know. I have a lot of.
A
I hate those fucking crows.
C
I love crows.
A
Are you serious?
D
No one's ever.
C
I feel like I was a crow or a bee in my past life.
A
I talk to them crows. They're smart.
C
Can you hear it?
B
That's good. That was good.
C
I give them grain, nuts. I give them walnuts, almonds, everything.
B
I didn't know they were.
A
You feed crows?
C
I got in my other house. I was getting treats from them. They were bringing me gifts. They were finding rusted tools from, I think, a construction site. But they kept coming and dropping it off right where I put their nuts.
A
See?
B
I thought they were bad.
A
Oh, so they're bringing you something?
C
They were.
B
Yes.
C
They were gifted. And you can train them to bring You Money. Wow.
A
What?
B
Yes.
C
A lot of people will check those. They're the most inspiring.
B
But in all the scary movies, they're, like, bad, like birds.
C
Because they remember. You're mean to a crow. It can tell its grandchildren about you, and they'll remember you.
B
This is so interesting.
A
You sound exactly like a crow. Gigi.
B
No, it was good.
A
Now your social anxiety is real. I witnessed it at the book signing.
C
Did you see me?
A
I mean, I saw you just kind of back away and hide between books.
C
Yeah, a little bit.
A
That's crazy. How are you on a reality show? How do you do press?
C
I love people, but it's hard.
A
One at a time, two at a
C
time, one at a time, two at a time. And then I get. When people are looking, I get very paranoid. Something's wrong with me. I start getting insecure, and then I don't know what to do. And then I go up to them and I just hug them because I'm like. I don't know what to do anymore. I get weird.
A
So we read Reza's book signing.
B
Yeah.
A
And I would say there was a good 7,500 people there.
C
A lot of people.
A
What? Yeah. Barnes and Noble.
B
Whoa. You guys shut it down.
A
Yeah. So. And I watched Gigi, like, first of all, one person over, and then another person, and then another person. And then I just watched her just kind of, like, panic, like, shut down.
B
Yeah.
A
And I went over there and I said, you should just go meet us at the restaurant. You should just leave right now. Because I watched. I watched you.
B
No, it's a real thing.
C
My.
B
Actually. Actually, no. Noelle suffers with, like, social anxiety and just being a little awkward. Like, it's just. It's like, a whole thing for her, so it really is.
C
People naturally think, oh, she's a bitch, or something like that. It's just. I don'. Want to do it. And I think because I don't want to be awkward, I get even more awkward. And I'm like. I don't know what to do. I just go, I gotta go.
B
Yeah, I'm actually an introvert. Extrovert. Did I say it right?
C
Like an introverted extrovert? No, like.
B
Like, I'm. I'm, like, introverted, but I have to be extroverted for work. But I'm really more comfortable as an. I identify and feel more comfortable as an introvert.
A
I'm confused.
C
I think they made a term for it.
D
Yes.
A
I'm like, an extrovert, but I introd.
D
But I'm like, inverted.
C
Inverted. I say that ok. Okay. I am okay.
B
If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't be an extrovert. Like I really would just like go to work and come home. Like I'm very comfortable and I thrive in like isolation. You know what I mean? Just being by myself.
D
Job would you have if you weren't in this industry? I can't picture you as like a nurse.
B
Oh, you know what? That's a great question. Well, had my modeling not worked out, I wanted to be a makeup artist because I'm really good, as you guys can see. You did this and it's still like my backup plan if this, if all hell breaks loose and it all falls apart, I will definitely. You are great to be a makeup artist.
C
I met Cynthia in New York. We were doing Watch what Happens Live together ages ago. And I was like, I looked over and the lights were just hitting your face. I'm like, wow. It's just wow. When you see someone in on TV and they're pretty and you know that they're pretty, but then you see them in person and you're like, wow. That was how I felt. Yeah. Always. Every time I see her, I'm like, you're so gorgeous.
B
Oh, thank you.
A
Is it true that you were some event for the American Heart Association?
B
I was.
A
And were you demonstrating cpr?
B
I was.
A
Look, if I ever choke, don't come anywhere near me.
C
Why?
A
Because you'll make it worse. I don't know. I know how to do it. No, no, no, no. I do not want you performing cpr.
B
It's so easy. No, you just like pop to the. To Stand alive the song Stand alive, Stand alive, Stand alive. And you just do it. And I know exactly where to do it. Like what?
A
What are you talking about?
B
Like when you do cpr.
C
Yeah. You haven't taken cpr.
D
Tempo you're supposed to do you need
C
to take a class and then how.
D
How many compressions versus how many breaths?
A
Okay, see, this is why I don't. Don't.
C
No.
A
Okay, go ahead, start.
B
No. Dun dun. And you just do it like. And then hopefully you're gonna start breathing. But like you just keep doing it. But you can't do it too hard cuz people break their.
A
Do we do the entire song?
D
Well, until you come back.
E
I'm also taking cpr. I've also taken CPR training and they say to do this to this rhythm as well.
A
I never knew that. And legally now I want to go to CPR trading. I love this.
B
See, you're learning this Is like, Gigi and I, we have, like, so much information. We're like a wealth of.
A
Yeah, sure.
B
Knowledge over here this morning.
E
Once you begin administering cpr, you should continue doing it. And until someone of equal or higher training comes to relieve it.
B
Exactly.
A
In this studio, you guys should keep going.
B
Yeah, it's true.
A
You're gonna have to replay that song over and over and over again.
B
And I know this is an animal friendly place. You can do it on animals too, I think, right?
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Right, Gigi.
C
Same with the dogs.
B
Yeah, you can save your animals.
A
Those two big dogs, those Rottweilers, how
E
did we go there?
A
They would scare the shit out of me if I walked into your house.
C
Oh, they're teddy bears. I swear, they're huge. They are. Bob is a H, 150 pounds.
B
Oh, my God.
C
Yeah. And Zsa Z, 125. Yeah. They're big babies.
B
I love Roddies.
A
I just have a rot. Do they growl? Have they bit anyone? Have they attacked anyone?
C
Never, never, never, never. Scared of my cats.
B
They're scared of.
C
Yeah, they're big babies. Like, literally, if you have.
B
They have a bad reputation.
A
They sure do.
C
Very bad. Because, I mean, they're built to. Look at them. Look at their build.
A
So somebody they don't know walks in the house, what do they do?
C
I. I always say to my dad, we joke around sometimes. We always. I would say, love to see that happen, actually, because I think they would be eaten up, you know, for sure.
A
Oh, you think your dogs would kill them?
C
100%.
A
You just said they were big babies.
C
They. But see, they're doing their job. Their job is to protect. If I chase after my own son a little too aggressively and he screams, Bob will come put my hand in.
A
That's what Toby does. That's what Toby does. He protects her.
C
Very much so. He's. He's.
A
Yeah, but I don't feel comforted. Like, I don't think I want to go. I mean, what happens if you're there when you open the door, when someone comes in? Do you say they know.
C
They can sense that energy. They know by the scent of my breath, the scent of these people's breath, that they're harmless or friends, you know, I always do a slow intro.
A
Look how big those dogs are, baby.
C
That's Bob in the front.
B
Look at your.
A
Bob is huge.
C
Yeah, he's a big boy. Eli rides on him. It's Eli's birthday today.
B
Oh, shout out, Eli.
C
He's a Taurus. Oh, what a great picture.
B
So Cute.
A
Do they love the new house?
C
He loves it. The dogs love it. The backyard for this house is massive. The other one, I was in the Royals. Encino. Royals. So it was hilly, you know, so I had a deck style backyard, you
A
know, if that makes sense.
C
And I wasn't. I wasn't too fan. Like, big fan of that, but they love it.
A
So they're running, running, running.
C
Yeah, the crows are great there too.
A
Oh, really?
C
A lot of them.
A
We have a lot of crows. I don't. I don't love them.
E
Someone told me, you want to be nice to one crow because they'll talk to the other crows and say, like, this is a.
C
They can hold grudges.
E
Yes.
C
They can tell their whole community about.
A
I bet they're already talking about me.
D
All the neighbors, especially the crows.
B
You have all the. You have all the animals from the movie from the Omen, like rottweilers, crows.
C
That's all like in that movie. And I applied for a pig, which I was approved for.
B
Oh, I love pigs. You got approved for a pig.
C
You got pig approval. It was a very hard application.
B
Is it hard? Like, what do you have to go through to get a pig?
C
No idea.
A
Wait, is this your landlord that you have to apply for? And he's okay with the dogs?
C
They. Yes. They're smarter than dogs. They're more intelligent than dogs.
A
Pigs.
C
They are better trained than dogs. They're just amazing. Very clean. On the contrary, they like to roll around in their mod. But, yeah, I had to apply. It took like, six months to go through the application process. They want to make sure you're not having a luau, pretty much.
A
Oh, I see.
C
You know what I mean? Or her.
A
I mean, although that would be great for the Valley Persian style season two.
B
Oh, no.
C
A luau with a pet pig.
B
No.
C
Jeff.
A
Yes.
B
So bad.
C
Oh, my.
A
So does he live outside or does he get to sleep inside?
C
That's also a big part of the application process. I said he would be an inside pig. He'd be in the home, and obviously he'd go into the backyard whenever he wants. Problem is, I've always been a renter. It's hard enough to rent with two rottweilers. Two rottweilers and a pig and two cats and a, you know.
A
Oh, I forgot. You have two cats too.
C
Two cats. I have an African serval and I have a rescue like a. Looks like a tabby Maine coon mix. I'm not sure what he is.
A
I wonder how they will react to the pig.
C
The cats I don't know. I don't know how that.
A
But he'll sleep inside, right? Because don't you worry about coyotes and things?
B
Well, is it gonna be a he or she? Is it a female pig or a male pig?
C
I don't know either. I think when it gets time to decide exactly the pig I want, I'm gonna go in the gender role. Which ones get bigger, less bigger?
B
Yeah.
D
Don't they get huge?
C
They do. There's no such thing out there, you guys. Everyone. There's no such thing as miniature pigs. They're doing illegal stuff. They're trying to give hormones and weird stuff to these baby pigs and they die. And it's really horrible. Pigs all.
A
But how do you transport him?
C
A what?
A
Like when he gets really big, how are you going to transport him?
C
I. I mean, I don't think he'll be bigger than Bob. The big. The pigs that I want, I think at their biggest, they're about 70 or 80 pounds. So they're not that.
A
Okay. Okay.
C
They're not that bad. They're short, you know?
A
And then what's after the pig? Like a donkey or something? What are you gonna. What are you gonna do after that?
C
They poop too much and they're a little aggressive. Probably not.
A
You need to go out to Hidden Hills and get a bunch of. And why don't you rent out there and then get a bunch of animals? Because you love animals.
C
I would love a farm.
B
You may as well throw, like, a rabbit in there as well. They poop everything.
A
I'm like, no, that's your other dad.
B
Eat and poop. That's all they do.
D
And they're not nice.
B
They're not.
D
No. I've heard, like, that. They're not, like, sweet and cuddly like you would think. That's what I heard.
A
You guys took an impromptu picture at Rez's book signing with the whole Valley Persian style cast, except for sky and Bombshot. It was. It's a beautiful photo.
B
Is it?
A
It is a beautiful photo. Have you seen it? Everybody looks so good.
C
It was a very nice photo.
A
And I guess what was nice to see is that you guys, you went to Palm Springs for spring break.
C
Yes.
A
And you're actually friends with your cast members. So MJ was there.
C
Yes. And then it was a mommy. Not mommies, but like, kids, Parents and their kids. So Maris was there. Natasha and Amir were there. And then a few of our other friends with kids.
A
Were you friends with Natasha and Amir before?
C
Yeah, so I met them in preschool. My Son was going, oh, it's such a great picture.
A
Look at that photo.
D
Beautiful pictures.
C
Aw. And I'm holding their company Pantry list their stuff. Yeah. When Eli was in preschool. Natasha has three kids, so she was pregnant when I first met her. And I just looked at her and I was like, this gorgeous woman.
E
Who is she?
C
Like, I want to know who you are. And she just is so sweet. And her husband's so sweet. So, yeah, it worked out well. When the casting happened, I was like this. You guys got to meet these people.
A
What's happening with season two? Listen, not an official pickup yet.
C
You. You. Love you. You are probably closer to Bravo right now than I am. So you can ask them. Let me know what's going on.
A
I will tell you. And I don't know if they ever this with you for Atlanta, but 32 Flavors hasn't done this with me, but previous show, they. The production company would call me and they say, okay, let's go over shooting dates. And I would get on the phone with them and I'd spend 20 minutes of my life going over, okay, yes, we could start on this date, blah, blah, blah, finish on this date, whatever. Then those dates would go by, and then they'd call me again, hey, we're looking at another schedule. So if you get on the phone with us. So I get on the phone for another 20 minutes, blah, blah, blah, blah, here's the new dates. Then they call me back because those dates came and went and said, hey, can we get on the phone? I go, no, I'm done. I go, when you get an official pickup from the network, give me a call. But otherwise, I'm not gonna play this make believe shooting schedule with you.
C
So you're like, reza, I'm. I'm a Sagittarius. I'm extremely optimistic. So I'm always like, cup is half full type of person. I'm like, no, no, no, we are. We're gonna happen. It's gonna happen now. Rez is like, girl, until you see that contract, nothing's fucking happening.
B
It is.
C
It is.
B
It will sound just like.
A
Well, it's just the very few shows are doing immediate pickups. When did the last episode air?
C
January.
A
So, okay, so February, March, April, May, June, July. It could be as much. It could be as long as July.
C
Yeah. When you hear from them, it's been months. It's supposed to have been months.
A
Six months. It's four to six months.
B
I feel like Atlanta is a little more organized. Like, they don't even call us until they have, like, the real dates for us.
C
You guys were, like, shooting all year. You guys have, like, 24, 26 episodes.
B
No, that was back in the good old days. It's really not anymore.
A
It's pretty much a lot of these shows they're airing every year and a half. Right. Because of that schedule.
C
Yeah.
A
So it just is what it is.
C
It is.
A
Now, what's happening with your Valley Girl diamonds?
C
I'm still in the contract phase right now where we're building out the website, but I'm trying to finalize stuff because my ex is part of this, and I want him to be a little bit less a part of it. I want to just go to him as a buyer and say, hey, I'm gonna buy the lab diamonds from you and have my own people. So it's just the contracting phase right now. He.
A
Is it Dennis?
C
Yeah. He was posting with sky at his house just yesterday, so I don't know. The group chat send it to me.
A
How weird. So he's hanging out with Sky?
C
It's not that weird when you know the type of people who are behind it, you know, just not good people.
A
Does sky do lab grown or regular or just.
C
She does regular, but I know her supplier wants to go lab as well.
A
Everybody's. Yeah, everybody's doing the lab now.
C
Yeah, he wants to go because there's no money in real diamonds anymore.
A
I just feel like a lot of people would buy just Even the simple necklace that you were. That you had on the show.
C
Yeah. Thank you. Maris wears it all the time. La Vie would diamonds now.
A
Did you do. You went to the Devil Wears Prada to premiere Cynthia?
C
I did.
B
I actually hosted it, but it wasn't a screening. It was actually a fashion show. It was for Clark Atlanta University.
A
So you haven't seen the movie yet?
B
I have not seen it yet because
A
I want to find someone who's seen the movie because the trailers look like shit.
B
Well, I don't think it's out yet.
D
Brogan's going tonight to a screen.
A
They look terrible. The trailers look terrible.
B
Yeah, the trailer looks terrible.
A
I think. I think. I mean, if the trailers are bad, that worries me.
B
Yeah, well, that's concerning.
A
But Brogan will tell us tomorrow or tonight.
D
Yeah, he's going tonight to a screening.
B
Yeah. I did see the screening of Michael, though.
A
How was that?
B
I enjoyed it.
A
Lisa Donovan loved it.
B
I thought it was amazing. I was, like, sad when it ended.
C
I had.
B
I loved it. I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan. I grew up with him.
A
Did you see Madonna on Saturday?
C
I did.
A
Did you know she was performing for Abby? You did?
B
Well, to be honest, I left before she got there, but.
A
So you didn't see.
B
But I've met Madonna before.
A
Okay. You know, but you knew she was performing and you didn't stay. Why was it really late?
B
Yeah, and I was just like, you know, really jet lag. I had just flown in for G and I. Gigi and I were honored at an event together, like, a few hours before.
A
Oh, I didn't know that.
B
Yeah. We got an award for Amari magazine, and so I did that. I got my award and then.
A
What was your award?
B
It was just basically for all the amazing things that I do.
C
Like, it's like appreciation icons just giving us our flowers.
A
You got an icon award?
B
Yeah.
C
Wow.
B
To, like, round it up.
C
Yeah. Teresa was there.
A
So all that charity you do pays off.
B
Well, yeah. I mean, it's that and, like, you know. You know, being an inspiration and a motivation to some people. Not you guys, obviously, but, you know, like, thank you. Thank you so much, friend. I appreciate that. But, you know, entrepreneurship, motherhood, you know, reality tv, modeling, podcasting, you know, Gloisima, of course.
A
Oh, it's. It has to be Gloristima. For sure. For sure.
C
It was also the magazine's debut that. It was not debut, but that issue was coming out, and we all. You did a photo shoot, a beautiful shoot with Crystal.
B
Yeah, Crystal and I did the COVID She looks beautiful. It was a gorgeous cover. Gorgeous cover.
A
It wasn't my favorite hair. Today is my favorite hair.

A
I love your Beyonce look.
B
Thanks for.
A
I love the long blonde hair. It's so pretty.
B
I love it.
D
Thank you.
B
But it was good. That was Tristan's birthday as well, and it was packed. Everybody was at that. It was good. But it was. It just went on too long, and I had to go because I had. I was sleepy.
A
You went to the symphony this weekend, huh, Jameson?
E
Oh, I did. I went to Pacific Symphony in Orange County. It was kind of like a stage production of My Fair Lady. So there were actors singing, and then there was a symphony playing. And Frank, my boyfriend, his.
A
We know, we know. You don't have to keep saying it over and over. We know.
C
I didn't know.
E
Gigi didn't know.
B
I knew
E
his friend music directed it, so he got to take us backstage. We got to meet the actors.
C
It was cute.
A
You guys. Never miss an opportunity to take a big gay photo.
E

F
Hey guys. How are y'? All?
A
Great.
B
Hi.
F
Hey. Okay, so I was listening to Goldness to talk about wanting to get a pig and I own a pig and I have three horses and like 47 chickens and all that. We, we live in Georgia. Okay. It's a farm. So I just kind of wanted to give a heads up. I bought they the quote unquote smallest breeds of pigs are called a Cooney Co. Juliet and I own a Cooney Coon and he is the light of my life. But he was is not little beyond belief. Not little. He is the sweetest thing ever. You go and scratch his belly, he flips over on his side and he starts snoring. I actually do. It's kind of crazy. I sing him a good night song and a good morning song when I go out to feed them. But how big is that being said? Oh, my gosh. He's got to be probably almost £200.
A
Oh, Gigi.
C
Not the breed I wanted to get.
A
Is it a cooney coon?
C
I don't remember. I just remember it said max 70.
F
No, no, baby, no. Not at all. Like, I am. Okay. And he also is our fridge cleaner, so whenever we have leftovers, we do serve him, you know, our leftovers in our fridge. And he absolutely loves it and eats it all up. But no. And they can get food aggressive. Is there a way that I can send y' all a picture of his baby picture and what he looks like now?
A
Maybe we should rethink this.
C
I didn't know they can get that large, this breed that I. Okay, okay. This is a lot for me to take in. Thank you. And can I come hang out with you in Georgia?
A
What's your Instagram?
B
Yeah, I think you need to test this thing out.
A
What's your Instagram?
C
What's that?
A
What's your Instagram?
C
Oh, it's two GS. GG and then underscore, and then G, O, L, N, E, S A.
A
Or just call Cynthia at the Godfrey and she can take a message. Thank you, Hannah. Appreciate it.
F
Absolutely.
A
So, Prince, your boyfriend.
B
Yes. Is in almost two years, by the
A
way, and you just did a whole hard launch on Instagram.
B
Well, kind of, sorta. I mean, here's the thing. Like, you guys have known about him. It's been like, two years. I don't, like, showcase him on my Instagram, but I don't hide him at this point, if I'm like, if we're at a real life event and I'm showing, like, posting, you know, who I was with with at the event? It just feels weird not to include him in the carousel at this point.
A
Right, yeah. So he's in Egypt.
B
He is in Egypt.
A
Did he go on that trip that
B
you planned finally, the trip that you sabotaged? No, no. But I have to say he's actually there performing. He did, like, some big, I don't know, some festival over there or something. So he was performing over there. But I was a little triggered when Egypt came up because you know, it
A
would have been great if you could be there.
B
Well.
A
But the trip didn't work out. Are you working on Bally now?
B
Well, you shot that down as well.
A
Good. So what are you. What are we thinking?
B
I am rethinking something right now. I'm just putting a pen in it right now. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do for my big six. Zero, but I'm gonna do something. But it's not. We're not gonna go just to, like, wait.
A
So are you taking, like, fans, listeners, viewers?
B
I wanted actually just, like, 20 of my friends and family.
A
Do we have to pay?
B
Yeah, I can't afford to. Any people?
A
Somewhere I feel more comfortable, though, now that you have this CPR training.
B
No. I don't know. I have to think about it a little bit more. You know, my 59th just passed, so I have a little bit of time. I think I have a little bit of time, but I may reach out to that company again or maybe some companies listening that will, like, reach out to you. Reach out to me. Call me at the dog.
A
Just call the Godfrey.
B
Exactly.
A
Just not. Not after 11.
B
Yeah. But I do love the idea. Like, I want to do, like, a spiritual retreat. Like, I feel like. And I know you would be perfect. You're all into that. Like, so, you know, that's what it is. I feel very grateful.
A
She's gonna charge you, like, six grand.
C
Ah, well, no, no, no.
B
I want to make it affordable. I want to make it affordable, but I don't know how that works. So it may. I may have to do something. You know, not out of the country. Like, maybe like just some, like, these retreats.
C
They're not expensive for no reason. I just, you know, that. That. That's very clear. Like, I've been to so many of these spiritual retreats, and when you see how much effort the people who are there, the staff, the people, the activities and the place you're at, you know, there's money goes into that.
B
Yeah. I want it to be a fun one, though. I don't want, like, sometimes those retreats are, like, too spiritual and, like, too relaxed. Like, I wanted, like, have a day of the spiritual part, and then I want to turn up and then I want to drink.
A
Yeah. Now, I'm sure most people know by now that you are hearing impaired.
C
Yes. And you say.
B
I didn't know.
C
You know what's weird? I don't know why the hearing community or the deaf.
A
Am I not allowed to say impaired?
C
No. I don't know. They're so weird about words. I was like, I have a hearing disability. They're like, it's not a disability. I'm like, it kind of is if I'm disabled from something, right? So I'm not sensitive about it.
A
Will you look that up? Am I allowed to say hearing impaired?
C
I don't know what you're allowed to
A
say, but the point is you can read lips.
C
I can read lips.
A
And what occurred to me, me, is that you could read the video of Kevin Hernandez. He's the one that was involved in the road rage incident with Patrick and Paul. We just showed you the video. What was he yelling at them?
C
After seeing it a bunch of times with Shane, I think he's saying, get you at your job, bitch.
A
I'll get you at your job, bitch. Okay, so. God, I wish we had you look at it earlier because I've been dying to know what he said. Yeah, so I'm gonna get you at your job.
C
See, right here. Yeah.
D
What the.
A
Oh, I see something. Oh, no.
C
Yeah, he said, I'm gonna fuck you up at your job, bitch.
D
At the boutique.
B
Wait, he came to our event. They came. Which one came to the event? Was it Patrick or Pol? The tall one.
A
You don't know the difference?
B
You know, I always. I love them. I always just group them into the same. Because they're usually always together. So I just kind of look at them as like one.
A
You know, just for fun. We should invite Kevin Antonio Hernandez to the next Chep event.
D
And then just the tall one, right? See how he reacts.
A
What's the little one's name? Cynthia?
B
Paul. Paul is the little one, right?
A
Yeah.
B
And Patrick is the big one.
A
Okay, good. You know?
C
All right.
A
He'll love that. Do you know who we're talking about, Gigi?
C
No, I don't.
A
Okay. They're the ones that were involved in the road raging. Okay. And then we have, like, we created this incredible summer bop.
D
And they keep saying that the road rage incident was on.
C
They were the ones recording.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
D
So we wanted to see if you could see if, like, that he was saying, like, you cut me off or like, whatever, like, why did he kick their car?
A
Is that like a fad now, where the. You tie your. Your tie like that on your neck like a bug.
B
I've seen that a lot, actually.
A
Okay.
B
It is a thing.
A
It's a thing.
B
I don't know if I can pull it out, but it is. I keep seeing it.
C
Does anyone know why it happened?
D
No. That's the question.
C
That's the big question, there are street cameras or anything. They weren't recording until.
A
I'm sure they disabled them.
E
They had no. They did follow them, but allegedly the police followed him from his home.
B
Oh, my God.
E
There. And. But Jeff thinks that they provoked him somehow.
C
And we're trying to feel like that type of rage, you have to have been provoked some rage, right?
A
Yeah, that's what a rational person.
E
But why would he say, I'm gonna fuck you up at your job unless he knew where they work? Unless he's personal.
C
No, it's personal. They run into each other. You can see he's like, I'm gonna fuck you up at your job. Like, I know where you are. I've seen you. I see you on the.
E
Well, that's what Paul and Patrick, he was casing them, essentially. And this was the day that he was attacking them. That there was.
C
Oh, because they're gay, Is that what you're saying?
F
I don't know.
D
That's what they're saying. I don't know.
C
Is that what the rhetoric is?
D
They're saying it could be like a gay like that. That he knew who they were. So whether it was something with like, yeah, gay. Or their show or whatever, like. Yeah, that's what he's saying.
B
That's scary.
D
Hearing imperative. That's what they're saying is the best term to use.
C
That man does not look like they cut him off their show.
A
They cut him. No, because is what they did. And then allegedly Patrick flipped him off after they cut him off. So it pissed him off.
C
That's a lot of anger.
A
Lot of anger.
B
Scary.
A
You know who I would not want to cut off?
D
Who?
A
Gigi.
C
Yeah. I have a lot of road race.
A
That's a lot of anger. She'd fuck me up at my job,
C
especially if I'm in my Raptor. I have a. I have. One of my cars is a raised up monster truck.
A
So you. You would just drive right over my car?
C
Yeah. Did you guys see that monster truck that ran over the Lamborghini? Said he didn't see it. Cause it's such a low car.
B
Yeah, I don't do low cars.
C
Oh, Can I say something really quickly? I just got a text message from Natasha because she's such a big supporter, and she said February was the last episode.
A
February, she corrected us. So May, June, July, August. It could be as long as August.
B
I know.
C
And it's harder for the newer people that just got a taste of it now. They're waiting for that. I get it. I love You, Natasha?
A
Yeah, it could be. You know, it could be a minute because they tested and focus groups and all that shit. It's not that easy anymore.
C
No, probably not.
A
So let me ask you this. Shane and I have a condo together. Shane is going to be moving out because we're going to be remodeling. Now, I didn't know this, but it's right on Hollywood Boulevard and they have all of the. What is it? It's like Hollywood.
D
All the characters that are out taking
A
pictures of Superman and Batman. Apparently Captain Jack Sparrow has been in the parking lot.
D
Every Sunday. I see Captain Jack Sparrow in the parking lot and he gets in an altercation with his girlfriend. And it's happened two weeks in a row now. And I'm like, what's going on, girl? Do you need help? I have the craziest video. They get into screaming fights every Sunday afternoon, and I'm like, what is there to fight about? But it's Captain Jack Sparrow.
A
So is it before she drops him off or when she picks him up?
D
It's usually towards the end.
A
So he's had, like, a hard day, I think. So she's on him about something, right?
D
And she's like, so many questions. Where's the money?
C
Costume.
B
Well, I'm assuming he's in. That's how you recognize him? Because he was in his costume?
D
Yeah, I don't know him outside of costume.
A
So he goes. He.
D
He.
A
You know, you go up. What is it, the Chinese Man Theater?
D
Yeah.
A
You know, and you get pictures and people pay you and all of that.
D
Look, and then they. And then.
A
And then they just start yelling at each other.
B
Yeah.
D
And we only saw them because then, like, they start, like, screaming, fighting at each other. And then you. And she spat at him last night.
B
Oh, no. Spitting.
D
She was spitting mad.
A
Wow.
C
There's no respect in your relationship if you spit on someone.
B
That's the worst.
C
She's like, horrible.
D
Clearly out there hustling.
B
Yeah, leave him alone.
C
He's like, oh, my gosh, this is crazy.
A
Gigi, I have a question.
C
Yeah.
A
You were quoted that says, guys, brains are like their dicks to me.
C
Say what?
A
You said, guys. Guys brains are like their dicks to. To me. What does that mean?
B
Guys.
C
I gotta know what I was referring this to when we were talking about, like, guys think with their dicks.
A
Is that what that means?
C
Is that what I was saying? What were we talking about? That I say, guys, dicks are their brains.
A
Oh, I don't know that. I had this quote.
C
I'm not really into dicks like that?
A
No. You were on Access Hollywood and you said that you're not into dicks, you're into guys. Brains.
C
Yes. Oh, a guy's brain is equivalent. Equivalent to what others would think of a dick. Okay, thank you.
B
So you are sapiosexual.
C
Sapiosexual, yeah.
B
Me too.
C
Yes.
B
I definitely keep saying you're attracted to like, intelligent people. To, like, people that are smart.
C
Yeah, yeah.
D
You wouldn't get it.
B
Like, you're like.
C
You can't look at a picture of someone and say, oh, I find that person attractive. I wouldn't be able to be attracted to a person from a picture once they start.
A
Doctor, are you serious?
C
Yeah. Yeah, I can't. I. I have a wild range of physically looking boyfriends. Exes. None of them look the same.
B
So you don't have a type.
C
What's that?

No, just smile. Smart, funny, successful animals. Far away. Like, I would love your situation to where I have a partner who's not around me all the time. Yeah, I love that.
B
Yeah. I need space. I'm a. I'm a Pisces. So, like, my situation with Prince works out great for us. He's like, here and then he's gone, and he's here and he's gone. No, it's good. I'm telling you.
C
That's the best.
B
We'll be together forever if we keep this up. Like it, you know, it's good. People need space.
A
So how many days out of the month do you see him?
B
When he's in. When he's at Lake Bailey, he's usually there for like two months. And then he'll go back to the Netherlands for like two months and then he'll come back. Back for two months.
A
So every two months?
B
Yeah, because I. I can't really go over there. Like, you know, I have my five year retirement plan activated here, so.
A
Right. You got your CPR training and everything.
B
Yeah. And I have to do all that stuff. So I have. I'm trying to retire at 65. If I hadn't made that clear, that's like the plan. You know, I like to have a goal and when I say retire, I mean I won't like, like not ever work. But I don't have. I won't have to hustle and buying get. You know, if I get invited somewhere I can go.
A
Right.
B
You know, right now I'm just like in work, so.
A
Yeah, I get that. I also want to promote Real Housewives of Atlanta, season 17, which Cynthia is a cast member on. It airs on Bravo on Sundays, but then you can watch it the next day on Peacock. Also streaming on Peacock is the Valley Persian Style Season one with Gigi. And then you have Humble Brag. New Epps with Crystal Minkoff. New Epps. Every Monday.

Now, is it true? So it's. It was Eli's birthday. Today is Eli's birthday.
C
Yes, today is Eli's birthday.
A
So then yesterday you did a party.
C
Was it yesterday, his birthday party there?
A
And you went to bowling?
C
Yes, he wanted to do bowling and he likes scary stuff for some reason, so he wanted Pennywise statues all over the place.
A
So it was a Pennywise theme?
C
Yeah, it was. Well, no. Ish. Kind of. I mean, Pennywise was on the cake. We had a black cake with red blood kind of dripping off the sides. And I don't know why. He's never seen scary movies, so I don't know what it was.
A
I think, well, if he knows who Pennywise is, he might must be watching something.
C
He's a YouTuber, so I think he sees his YouTubers talk about it and stuff like that. But, you know, I don't know. It was weird to me, too.
A
That is very strange.
C
Everyone at the bowling alley loved it. They're like, this is hilarious.

A

B
It is lifetime. Now that I do know, I can confirm that it's lifetime.
A
Right. But we just don't know when will it be? This year or next year?
B
I think so. I think it's going to come out this year. I mean, it's like April now, almost May, so let's just say in the fall.
C
Yeah.

Amazing. We went to Columbia. I found this amazing company. I wanted to do stem cells for a long time because my autoimmune disease, they just. They felt right. I talked to them for a while. And they set up a very amazing week for us where we would do everything spiritual, kind of like a spiritual retreat. Our first day, we had a mushroom and cacao ceremony. It was amazing. It was pouring rain and we were in this sort of straw hut above water, and the water was just bashing down. And we had this loud live music happening in front of us with drums.
