Jackie Schimmel
Jeff Lewis has issues.
Jeff Lewis
Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Jackie Schimmel and Zach Noe Towers join the show. We talk about baby bumps, fat suits and night nurses. Good morning.
Jackie Schimmel
Good morning.
Jeff Lewis
Let's please just get this out of the way. You are not fat.
Jackie Schimmel
No, I'm not. I am pregnant. Thank you so much.
Jeff Lewis
Congratulations. Obviously, I've known for quite some time. And kept the secret.
Jackie Schimmel
Shock of a lifetime.
Jeff Lewis
I know.
Jackie Schimmel
I can't even believe it. There's been a couple times where on the show they've been talking about like pregnancy or surrogacy or something. People having babies. And I listen with my asshole clenched because I'm like this motherfucker. Any day now and not a word.
Unidentified Female Caller
When did you tell Jeff?
Jackie Schimmel
I told Jeff a while ago.
Jeff Lewis
Early. Early on early.
Zach Noe Towers
Like before it was too late.
Jeff Lewis
Right after she had sex.
Jackie Schimmel
Literally.
Zach Noe Towers
She's like, you never guess what I just did.
Jackie Schimmel
I texted Jeff immediately.
Jeff Lewis
So you wanted to wait till the very, very, very last minute?
Jackie Schimmel
I thought it would be cool. I thought it would be mysterious. Very French.
Jeff Lewis
Not because of your age?
Jackie Schimmel
No.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, okay.
Jackie Schimmel
Well, kind of.
Jeff Lewis
So you were planning on waiting till what, like seven months?
Jackie Schimmel
I just wanted to see how long I could let it go. You Know what I mean? Of just being, like, keeping it to myself and just, you know.
Jeff Lewis
But the crazy part is you just got big so fast.
Jackie Schimmel
I know.
Jeff Lewis
Like, that baby just started showing.
Jackie Schimmel
No, I know. It's crazy. And everyone warns you about that for the second go. They're like, your body just remembers.
Unidentified Female Caller
Oh.
Jackie Schimmel
And it really did.
Jeff Lewis
It really remembered.
Unidentified Male Caller
Ew.
Jackie Schimmel
What is going on?
Jeff Lewis
What did make me mad, though, because there were a few comments on my. My Instagram about your weight.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, no, I know. I saw Fat Shamers. And you fucking bitches should be ashamed of your.
Jeff Lewis
They should be. They really should be.
Jackie Schimmel
Because, by the way, that's not okay in any scenario. What if. Well, I mean, honestly, that's true.
Zach Noe Towers
I was like, this is the most fat phobic show I've ever been a part of.
Jackie Schimmel
No, it's true. But they should trust me to know that I wouldn't be, you know, I wouldn't be selling it so hard. I wouldn't be rocking it so hard if that were the case. And I'd be very open about that. But God forbid, fertility issues, ivf, any of those things that maybe could draw a little bit more weight to the midsection. Or maybe I'm just living good, living fast and loose. What the fuck?
Jeff Lewis
How pregnant are you right now?
Jackie Schimmel
I am almost halfway in a couple weeks. Yeah. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
All right, so that's four and a half months. Everyone.
Jackie Schimmel
I know, I know.
Zach Noe Towers
That silence was everyone doing math in their head.
Jeff Lewis
I realized everybody started getting.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah, I'm like, four and a half, by the way. This pregnancy, I'm barely cute.
Jeff Lewis
But you were gonna wait till, like, six months before you said anything.
Jackie Schimmel
I thought it would be cute.
Unidentified Male Caller
You're a public person. Did you forget?
Jeff Lewis
No.
Jackie Schimmel
No.
Unidentified Male Caller
Like, you're out and about.
Jeff Lewis
There's something that you did recently, and I don't know if this is something you'd ever do. Zach, it is something that I have ever absolutely considered many times. There is some Karen that came for you, and I don't know how nasty it was because I've never known you to go this far, but You've actually joined LinkedIn to find this Karen's employer, to then send the messages to Karen's employer so this person knows that Karen, during work hours, is sending you nasty messages.
Zach Noe Towers
Can you give us a taste of the message?
Jeff Lewis
I thought of this, too.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay. No, it was honestly the best day of my life. It was last Wednesday. I had just got, like, the most gorgeous prenatal massage at the Four Seasons. Okay. I'm laying.
Zach Noe Towers
What's that include. They just stay away from your belly. You.
Jackie Schimmel
It's very awkward. I mean, you have to lay in this contraption so, like, there's no pressure on your stomach.
Zach Noe Towers
I bet they're terrified.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they're. It's a very. It's a whole situation, but it was unbelievable. Like, I went to the fucking moon. Okay. Levitated. And I was so relaxed, and I was laying by the pool. I was having a beautiful caprese salad. I tried to read a book. Didn't work.
Zach Noe Towers
You know, they don't always take. They didn't take your body rejected it. Like, in organ. It's like, nope.
Jackie Schimmel
No, thank you. So I was getting bored. I was trolling Instagram. I got this DM that was just very, very, very abrasive. Like, terrible things. Talking shit about my son, who is perfect and gorgeous. Talking about his looks, which is insane.
Jeff Lewis
What.
Jackie Schimmel
I mean, objectively, my son is gorgeous. Like, we can say a lot, but he's beautiful.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jackie Schimmel
O. And even if he wasn't, like, you should.
Zach Noe Towers
That's crazy.
Jackie Schimmel
It's a crazy thing to say. Talking shit about just, like, the most vile message. Okay. And I thought, I have two options here on this beautiful spa day. I could just, like, namaste, breathe, and enjoy my salad.
Zach Noe Towers
Block, delete.
Jackie Schimmel
Or I could have a good time. So I was beaming, by the way. I was smiling like I've never smiled before. And I signed up not only for LinkedIn, Jeff, but LinkedIn Plus.
Zach Noe Towers
You paid. You gave your credit card.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
I'll buy it for the year.
Jackie Schimmel
So I found her. I found where she worked. Okay. Which was a medical facility of sorts. I found out who her supervisor was.
Jeff Lewis
Good for you.
Jackie Schimmel
I screenshotted all of the messages. I found his email thanks to LinkedIn plus or whatever the advanced LinkedIn is. And I emailed her superior the screenshots because then I did the math of where she lives, which is clearly not her break. It was not her break. It was during work hours. Okay. And then I said, I just thought you should know that this is what Kathleen's been doing on your dime.
Jeff Lewis
That's amazing.
Jackie Schimmel
Have a blessed day. And I never felt more alive.
Jeff Lewis
Now, the only. Okay, so I completely get this.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But where I. Okay, so I don't. If people come for me personally, that's one Totally don't care when they email my bosses is when I want to email their bosses.
Unidentified Male Caller
I don't have a boss.
Jeff Lewis
Right.
Jackie Schimmel
So jokes on you, Kathleen.
Jeff Lewis
I wouldn't. I wouldn't Go after somebody who you know. Because I get a lot of negative messages, but it's the ones that go to my bosses. They're the ones that I want to go to their bosses.
Jackie Schimmel
Totally.
Jeff Lewis
And I've actually thought about hiring someone. That's all they do.
Jackie Schimmel
Great.
Zach Noe Towers
Oh, retaliate.
Jeff Lewis
All they do is retaliate all day long.
Jackie Schimmel
Well, I'd be the girl for the job.
Jeff Lewis
You'd be great.
Jackie Schimmel
I'd be unbelievable.
Jeff Lewis
I didn't even know there was a linked plus.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah, it's like the. It's the step above LinkedIn where you get access to more information, basically.
Jeff Lewis
Because they're all doing it at work, of course. Absolutely. Not doing it at home.
Jackie Schimmel
No, no, no.
Jeff Lewis
What do you think, Zach? Is this something you would do?
Unidentified Male Caller
I.
Zach Noe Towers
You know, people will leave a comment that. It'll be amongst a bunch of positive comments. The one negative one will get under my skin. And I have that same thing. I'm like, I want to. I want to burn this person to the ground. But then I ultimately. These days, I've been deleting the comment, blocking the person healthy. Because my theory there is you. I do. I post for free. You don't have access to my shit anymore. Go on with your day.
Jeff Lewis
I really. I don't block. I don't block. I don't delete. And the funny thing, too, is Kelly Dodd was on with Jamie Kennedy, and there. It was a great show. It was actually a great show. Really funny. And so there weren't a lot of negative comments, surprisingly, I was gonna say. And so people are like, he's blocking, he's deleting. He's. No, I wasn't. Bitch. They just. There weren't a lot of negative comments that day.
Jackie Schimmel
That's great.
Zach Noe Towers
Seems so.
Jeff Lewis
But I don't delete. I don't block. However, I did have one person maybe a year ago or two ago come from Monroe. And that. That.
Zach Noe Towers
That's crazy.
Jeff Lewis
It gets to. There's a line there where you do kind of want to go after him.
Zach Noe Towers
What's this person's motivation? Or what was the thesis behind messaging you? Like, you're such a bad person or bad mother.
Jackie Schimmel
Bad mother. You can tell. Like, just talking about my son in a way that was so vile that. That I just felt it necessary.
Zach Noe Towers
Like, would you ever post it on your story?
Jackie Schimmel
No, I don't think so. Because I feel like it would be garnering sympathy or people would be, like, really enraged and then go after the person. But I am going to be doing a dramatic reading in Next week's episode of my podcast.
Zach Noe Towers
Yay.
Jeff Lewis
Your skin is so glowy.
Jackie Schimmel
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
You are glowing. They really say. I mean, pregnant women really do glow. It's crazy.
Zach Noe Towers
Well, she's creating life.
Jeff Lewis
Unless you've got a lot of makeup on. What's going on?
Unidentified Male Caller
No wise beauty, baby.
Jackie Schimmel
I just. I have a glow. What can I say?
Jeff Lewis
Is it a girl or a boy?
Jackie Schimmel
I'm not telling you.
Jeff Lewis
You betch.
Zach Noe Towers
You know, though.
Jackie Schimmel
I do.
Jeff Lewis
I think I know.
Jackie Schimmel
I don't know.
Jeff Lewis
I think you told me and I forgot.
Jackie Schimmel
I did, actually. By the way, I love you so much. I 1. 100% talking about. We had a whole conversation.
Zach Noe Towers
It'll come back. So.
Jeff Lewis
I know. It's come back to me. I know.
Unidentified Male Caller
Do you know why you don't. He forgot because it was at the Molly Sims party and he was solely focused on gambling.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, my God. You were like Rain Man. What was going on? I know, but it's crazy.
Jeff Lewis
I did win $11,000.
Zach Noe Towers
Oh, my God.
Jeff Lewis
14,000. Sorry. $14,000. Not really money, though. Oh, it was fake money. Had to use it to get a prize.
Zach Noe Towers
Oh, like an arcade.
Jeff Lewis
Boo.
Unidentified Male Caller
The best part of the party was Jackie had, like, a virgin lemon drop martini, and she hadn't told people that she's pregnant yet. So she was, like, sipping on it. And Jeff, after he drank, would go up to people like, she's pregnant.
Jackie Schimmel
She would be, like, drinking, and no
Unidentified Male Caller
one knew how to react.
Jackie Schimmel
Jeff told, like, 700 people at the party. I had no choice but to announce. It was like. He's like, I held off so long not announcing on radio, so now I'm gonna tell all of these innocent bystanders who don't even know who she is. She's pregnant. She's pregnant. I was like, thanks.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but weren't you just on the show and you got fat shamed, And I was in protective mod, and there were all these gorgeous people there. And then you roll in and I'm like, I gotta defend her. She's pregnant.
Jackie Schimmel
I know. I wasn't. I was. I did a really terrible thing, which you should never do when you're pregnant. I was wearing, like. I wasn't embracing the bump fully.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jackie Schimmel
So I was trying to just wear, like, normal oversized clothes. Like, it just. It was not. It was not it.
Jeff Lewis
Are you worried that. Oh, God, there's. Well, your next child. There's no way your next child could be as pretty as your son.
Jackie Schimmel
No. Never. Never.
Jeff Lewis
That sucks for them.
Jackie Schimmel
No, it completely sucks for them. This is the personality birth but although my son has the best personality, like they will just. This is an Ashley Jessica Simpson. Cute shadows. It's never going to be.
Zach Noe Towers
Wow, I'm so. I'm the second born and I'm the hottest.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay, that's great.
Zach Noe Towers
Just saying.
Jeff Lewis
Out of how many?
Zach Noe Towers
3.
Jeff Lewis
One
Jackie Schimmel
sex and only child.
Zach Noe Towers
Well, she miscarried. That was ugly as hell. And then me.
Unidentified Female Caller
How does this pregnancy feel compared to
Jackie Schimmel
with Clyde? I never felt better. I was like perfectly fine the whole time. This one was a little more difficult. The first trimester, nothing sounded good. Nothing.
Jeff Lewis
Did you throw up?
Jackie Schimmel
Never.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, that's good.
Jackie Schimmel
It's not in my constitution. I have a stomach of iron.
Unidentified Male Caller
Wow.
Jackie Schimmel
I'm not a thrower.
Jeff Lewis
Any cravings? Any.
Jackie Schimmel
Not at the beginning. Like, literally nothing sounded good. Which now is torture.
Zach Noe Towers
What do you divert to though? When nothing sounded good?
Jackie Schimmel
I. For about four weeks I would have like a strawberry belt and water for the candy. Yes.
Zach Noe Towers
That's crazy. That's great. No wonder it's going to come out ugly as hell.
Jackie Schimmel
Totally. All the red dye 40 look like a fucking creature.
Jeff Lewis
Tell everyone what you eating now?
Jackie Schimmel
What Ass.
Jeff Lewis
Shake Shack.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, you're such an asshole.
Jeff Lewis
What are you getting at? Shake Shack.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay, so I've never had Shake Shack in my entire life.
Unidentified Male Caller
What?
Dove Brand Advertiser
Why?
Jackie Schimmel
I don't know. I'm just an in n out girl. But the other night, something came over me. It was like a call from Jesus. It was like, you need Shake Shack. And I looked at Andrew and I said, if I don't get a Shake shack burger in 11 minutes or less, I will burn this fucking house down. So he ran. I got Shake Shack for the first
Jeff Lewis
time ever, a burger.
Jackie Schimmel
I had a cheeseburger.
Jeff Lewis
How was it?
Jackie Schimmel
It was. I don't know if it was the potato bun that just like threw Shake Shacks.
Zach Noe Towers
Incredible.
Jackie Schimmel
It was incredible.
Zach Noe Towers
There's sauces, there's milkshakes. It's so good.
Jackie Schimmel
Get a milkshake.
Zach Noe Towers
Oh, that's great.
Jackie Schimmel
To avoid gestational diabetes. This go but I did get onion rings. I had a Diet Coke and a Shake Shack and I was like slipping and sliding.
Jeff Lewis
Are you still eating sushi? You have to.
Jackie Schimmel
No.
Jeff Lewis
The lie detector determined that was a lie. It's okay. You just can't eat a lot, right? Yeah, like more than six days a week. Yeah.
Jackie Schimmel
Like said, no, I don't eat any sushi. I don't know what you're talking about. If you saw me at Sugarfish. By the way, I ran into Liotte's husband and I was just going to
Jeff Lewis
town at sugar fish.
Jackie Schimmel
Sweating. Sweating. I was like, oh, my God, he knows. Everybody knows. Everybody knows. But low mercury fish only.
Jeff Lewis
Speaking of weight gain, the stylist came over yesterday for my still flipping out shoot for marketing, I guess the marketing materials. So Bravo has sent over a look, and they said if Jeff has any suits he loves, you know, and, you know, this is the kind of look we're going for. Well, it turns out the suit's pretty tight, and you can't add material. So the good news is they're gonna have to buy me two brand new fat suits.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, amazing. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Because my suits don't fit. Wow. And so she goes, well, I have to justify why we're buying the two suits. So I told you. She's calling them today to let them know that Jeff has gained weight and doesn't fit in any of his clothes. So we're gonna have to. We're gonna need to increase that budget.
Jackie Schimmel
Wow. We should start a support group for each other.
Unidentified Female Caller
This is gonna be the opposite of the Valley Persian style with Reza, where people saw him today and then were, like, watching the old footage, like, wow, he lost a ton of weight. It's gonna be the opposite for you. People are gonna be like, whoa, he got so big.
Jeff Lewis
You know what's gonna happen, actually. So I saw episode two and three, and I actually look kind of lean, like I think I was 190. But then episode four or five, my guess is I start gaining weight by the eighth episode. Obese. And then wait till they see the marketing.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, that's why you need a billboard.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, exactly.
Zach Noe Towers
Fill the space.
Jeff Lewis
But then I thought, when we do the shoot, you have to tape my neck.
Unidentified Male Caller
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And then I thought, why don't they shoot it from the neck up? But the problem is they also have to be far away. So how do you do that? You can't shoot from the neck up and then also be half a mile away.
Jackie Schimmel
You need a tapeworm asap.
Zach Noe Towers
Maybe you're in a pool with just your head popping out
Jeff Lewis
like Jennifer Tilly.
Jackie Schimmel
Perfect.
Unidentified Male Caller
You're holding something really big, like you're moving forward.
Jeff Lewis
That's. That's actually a great idea.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Unidentified Female Caller
Maybe you could do the old sitcom thing where you're carrying a basket of laundry in front of you.
Jeff Lewis
You know, that makes sense.
Unidentified Male Caller
Yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
In bed covers.
Jeff Lewis
I do a lot of laundry.
Unidentified Female Caller
Yeah.
Jackie Schimmel
Nothing would ever make more sense than that.
Jeff Lewis
So you felt sick. And then the other thing, too, I want to ask you is, did you. Was this on purpose? Yeah, it was. So you were Actually trying, but your. But your husband's never in town, so.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah, I know she's lonely. It happened quickly. Quickly as it does. And he was gone, too. Another reason why I wanted to just kill him with my bare hands that I wasn't able to talk about at the time is that my first trimester. Andrew was gone 90% of the time. So I've been carrying that resentment with me.
Jeff Lewis
And taking care of the baby and taking care of the household. Yes.
Jackie Schimmel
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And being sick and not eating and.
Jackie Schimmel
Yes. While he's gallivanting all over the country.
Jeff Lewis
Cause that's what he's doing. He's not working. He's gallivanting.
Jackie Schimmel
Sure, I call it gallivanting. Okay, maybe there's some work there, but it's gallivanting. He's left me for dead, and I don't care about the details, really, so that was difficult.
Jeff Lewis
What about our backyard? Is this baby gonna come between us and our backyard remodel?
Jackie Schimmel
Everybody says it will be done before the baby. I'm not so sure about that. I'm not feeling great, if I'm being honest.
Jeff Lewis
Cause you can't have construction out there when a baby's sleeping.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, with a jackhammer?
Jeff Lewis
No way.
Jackie Schimmel
No fucking way. So I've lied to them about my due date.
Jeff Lewis
Good. When is your due date? And then what are we telling everyone? When's the real due date?
Jackie Schimmel
My real due date is beginning of November.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, so we're telling the contractors mid October. Nice. Okay.
Jackie Schimmel
Because I think.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I would even move it. Move it up just so they think it's coming early.
Jackie Schimmel
Right? Right.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
You're fucking with karma, though. And your baby's gonna come early. Oh, God, it's gonna be skinny. That's gonna be early.
Jeff Lewis
A little preemie.
Zach Noe Towers
Bright red. Smells like strawberries.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah, totally covered in sugars.
Jeff Lewis
Now, the funny thing is that I. I did get a text from Jackie. You have been looking for night nurses.
Jackie Schimmel
I have.
Jeff Lewis
And what happened? How many night nurses have you interviewed?
Jackie Schimmel
Okay, so I've interviewed three so far. And the last person I interviewed, the woman that we used for Clyde, is my lord and savior. I would give her any of my organs. Love her more than anything, but she's got a family, a schedule, and she can't really commit to, like, a full block of time every single night, which is understandable. So I got introed to a woman named Lillian, and she comes over to my house last week, and. And she was lovely. And she. She has this big old binder, and she says, I've worked with many celebrity families. Not saying that. I am. She was just saying that as a, you know, just a separate whatever. And she goes, I'd love you to go through my referrals and the families I worked with. And I opened the binder, and first I see Jenny Poulos. And I was like, oh, that's funny. Small world. Whatever. And she's like, do you know her? And I'm like, no, but I know the lore. Blah, blah, blah. Next page. Jeff Lewis. And I go, oh, lookie there. And she goes, do you know Jeff? I said, it depends.
Zach Noe Towers
How was your experience with him? Yeah.
Jackie Schimmel
I'm like, well, I'm not sure.
Jeff Lewis
What did she say about me?
Jackie Schimmel
She said, okay. And I. It should be mentioned on Mike because it was wild. She said that you were, like, her favorite person that she's ever worked for. Whoa.
Jeff Lewis
Are you kidding me?
Jackie Schimmel
I said, are you sure Are Jeff. Like this. This Jeff Lewis? And she said you were wonderful. She said that you got lunch every day for her.
Jeff Lewis
I did.
Jackie Schimmel
She said that she was your last and final night nurse out of. What was it, eight or nine?
Jeff Lewis
We had a lot.
Jackie Schimmel
We had a lot.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Zach Noe Towers
Whoa.
Jackie Schimmel
And she said she was the one that finally got Monroe sleeping.
Jeff Lewis
She is the sweetest, softest, most nurturing. She's the opposite of you. She's perfect.
Jackie Schimmel
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
She's the perfect. Now, I'm going to tell you, she. I don't mean negative, but she's not. I'm not going to be negative at all because she's lovely. She's not a brain surgeon, sure, but she is amazing with babies. The reason I'm telling you this, she's a night nurse. The reason I'm telling you this is because she hasn't got back to you. Right. And she hasn't got you the contract, and she hasn't. You have to be patient.
Jackie Schimmel
I feel borderline ghosted.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I know.
Zach Noe Towers
How many days has it been?
Unidentified Male Caller
How long has it been?
Jeff Lewis
She's. Yeah, she's not real good with the deed, like the contracts and things, but she's.
Jackie Schimmel
Basic communication feels good, somewhat necessary when you're keeping a child alive.
Jeff Lewis
She does communicate.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
I think maybe she doesn't. She didn't do the con like, it's. The ball's in her court right now, right?
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
She's about to get you the contract.
Jackie Schimmel
Do you think she's just, like, making me sweat?
Jeff Lewis
No, no. She's trying to figure out the contract.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
The contract that she's probably used 500 times.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay. Because it's been a week.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Yeah. But follow up with her.
Jackie Schimmel
She's.
Jeff Lewis
I know.
Jackie Schimmel
I did.
Jeff Lewis
Lovely.
Zach Noe Towers
And just nothing. Crickets.
Jackie Schimmel
Not even a heart.
Jeff Lewis
Monroe.
Jackie Schimmel
Loo. Not even a light.
Zach Noe Towers
Not even a T. But they're delivered.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, yeah. They're. They're.
Jeff Lewis
She would. She would send me videos and stuff when I was at work, like, she was on it.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah. Okay.
Jeff Lewis
Monroe loved her.
Unidentified Male Caller
How long has it been since you heard from her?
Zach Noe Towers
A week.
Jackie Schimmel
A week. I don't love that.
Unidentified Male Caller
Maybe she has, like, a client right now and she has a lot going on.
Jeff Lewis
She could be in it. She could be in it right now.
Jackie Schimmel
She does have a client, but she's working only nights.
Jeff Lewis
Yes, but you work when you have a young baby, as, you know, like a Monroe. They're up all night long. She's sleeping during the day.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, but if I were interviewing for a job and I was offered that job.
Jeff Lewis
I know.
Unidentified Male Caller
Wouldn't you.
Zach Noe Towers
I would at least heart. I would at least be like.
Jeff Lewis
I'm trying to tell you the negatives.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
But the positives way outweigh.
Jackie Schimmel
Listen, I'm not so picky, okay? Just keep the thing alive.
Jeff Lewis
Do you want me to text her? Send me her number right now. Because I don't know if I have her number in my phone.
Zach Noe Towers
Okay.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I will text her.
Jackie Schimmel
Be like, why haven't you got back to Jackie?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Unidentified Male Caller
No, just say, I love Jackie so much. I hope it works out for you.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, that's the nudge.
Jeff Lewis
The nudge doesn't have a mean bone in her body. And we had. We started off with a Nurse Ratchet.
Jackie Schimmel
Really?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, she was a horrible.
Zach Noe Towers
She just chloroformed Monroe every night.
Jeff Lewis
Terrible.
Jackie Schimmel
I kind of love that vibe, too. Kind of spicy. I had one of those.
Jeff Lewis
No. No, you don't.
Zach Noe Towers
For the nighttime. No. That's scary.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
All right. Did you send me the number?
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah, I'm sending it to you right now.
Jeff Lewis
All right. In eight minutes. So take a break, and then I'm gonna. Hey, why don't you start working on the text right now?
Zach Noe Towers
Wait, I'll text her too.
Jeff Lewis
Will you save everybody?
Zach Noe Towers
Save her in my.
Jeff Lewis
Save her in my phone.
Zach Noe Towers
Could you imagine saying her number on this show?
Jackie Schimmel
Every listener be like, get back to Jackie.
Jeff Lewis
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Unidentified Female Caller
Never.
Jeff Lewis
Wait, did you get earrings for Mother's Day?
Jackie Schimmel
Did I get what?
Jeff Lewis
Earrings.
Jackie Schimmel
Yes, I did.
Jeff Lewis
What did you get?
Jackie Schimmel
I got beautiful emerald cut diamond studs.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Jackie Schimmel
Gorgeous. But they don't count as a push present.
Zach Noe Towers
Just so you know.
Unidentified Male Caller
Why?
Jeff Lewis
Okay, look, so I'm. And now you're expecting anniversary gift too?
Zach Noe Towers
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Well, you got a Mother's Day.
Jackie Schimmel
I got a Mother's Day gift. They come very close. They were within a week of each other.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, just saying, that's a lot of money. I feel like you caught him.
Jackie Schimmel
It was a little bit of a break. It was a conception Mother's Day joint gift. Okay. And when I was, when I was, you know, floating it, when I was pitching the earrings, I was like, you know, this, like I've, I've wanted these forever. I just feel like, blah, blah, blah. And it's our anniversary and it's Mother's Day and I'm carrying your child. You know, I did like a heavy press, but then my anniversary was five days later. I was like low key, kind of expecting like another gift. Didn't really get one, but that was fine. I just like swallowed it down. But now the clock has reset because we've got time. And I do think that. I'm just saying carrying a baby is annoying and hard.
Jeff Lewis
So you want a push gift now in addition to the anniversary Mother's Day gift?
Jackie Schimmel
I wouldn't be upset about it.
Jeff Lewis
But you're not expecting it, are you?
Zach Noe Towers
In four and a half months.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
I mean, I feel like also November.
Dove Brand Advertiser
That's.
Zach Noe Towers
That's a real no man's land for gifts.
Jeff Lewis
I don't have that.
Zach Noe Towers
You're not going to get a.
Jackie Schimmel
Did I post a list?
Jeff Lewis
No, no, no.
Jackie Schimmel
That would be awkward, I think, the
Jeff Lewis
way you humiliate him publicly.
Jackie Schimmel
Right. But he doesn't know I know.
Jeff Lewis
So for those of you that don't know, Jackie has. She basically created an Instagram account for her husband that he does not know about. But people like, he grew up with his family. Yeah. And he doesn't know he has an Instagram account.
Zach Noe Towers
That is psychotic.
Jeff Lewis
So listen to what she did to the poor guy. So it's their nine year anniversary on May 17th. It was May.
Zach Noe Towers
She boasted about her.
Jackie Schimmel
Obviously.
Jeff Lewis
She posted a picture of their wedding picture said, my north star, my rock, my reason, my life, my wife, my light, my angel, my partner, my muse. What a privilege and grandiose honor of being married to you for the past nine years. I didn't deserve you then and I don't deserve you now. Happy anniversary to my guiding light. And then Jackie responds, thank you.
Zach Noe Towers
That is so funny.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, it's so great. Because somebody like, he went to elementary school.
Jeff Lewis
It's embarrassing.
Jackie Schimmel
Or like a family friend is like, wow, Andrew, so proud of you. And a Beautiful life you've built. And I'll respond as him and just be like, I know I'm killing it.
Zach Noe Towers
So nobody else knows?
Jackie Schimmel
No, he didn't know for so long, too. One of his friends, like, was like, hey, I think you got hacked. And Andrew's like, what are you talking about? I don't have social media, and it's just been me. And he, like, doesn't know about it. He doesn't even have the app. It's great. It's the greatest joy of my life.
Zach Noe Towers
That is so funny.
Jackie Schimmel
It's really fun for me. It's really fun.
Jeff Lewis
It's mean, and I love it.
Jackie Schimmel
I know it's. But you know what I said to him? Because he did get mad one time? He's like, jackie, like, if I do a session with someone that I don't know, and then they DM me being like, hey, like, great working together. And then you respond as me. Like, five paragraphs about how moved you were by the song. Like, that's awkward. Like, we're not going to. Like, that affects, like, my work. And I was like, you should be so lucky. I gave you an inside joke. It's now an icebreaker. You can go back to the session and be like, I have a crazy bitch wife who runs my Instagram account. Sorry about that. Now you guys have a bit together. You're welcome. Yeah, I don't know.
Jeff Lewis
How's the text coming? Read it.
Unidentified Male Caller
It's good. She's getting distracted.
Zach Noe Towers
It's good.
Jeff Lewis
What does it say?
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, it's looking lengthy.
Unidentified Male Caller
It's Jeff Lewis. I heard you spoke with Jackie Schimmel about working with her family. Her and her husband are the kindest people. You will love them. I hope all is well. I'm zhuzhing it, but something, like, to this effect.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I think we have to just get straight, like she said. You're not calling her back?
Zach Noe Towers
Really?
Jeff Lewis
No, not yet.
Jackie Schimmel
No. Let's play softball, and then if she doesn't respond, then we get aggressive. I'll let you guys know.
Jeff Lewis
And you respond again because she's worth chasing.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
Eight night nurses. She's worth chasing.
Jackie Schimmel
I know. Wow.
Jeff Lewis
I don't care. Did she give you a rate?
Jackie Schimmel
No, she won't send me a contract.
Zach Noe Towers
How can there be so many bad night nurses?
Jeff Lewis
But she's worth it.
Zach Noe Towers
Eight is so many.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Zach Noe Towers
How are there so many bad night nurses?
Jeff Lewis
There are that many bad night nurses.
Jackie Schimmel
That's great.
Jeff Lewis
There. That many.
Jackie Schimmel
But Monroe had colic, right? Yeah, that's so she was.
Jeff Lewis
It was rough she was a fussy, fussy baby.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, but that's the gig.
Jeff Lewis
She's a fussy nine year old now too.
Unidentified Male Caller
And then what did the night nurses do?
Jeff Lewis
What do you mean?
Unidentified Male Caller
Like when they were bad. Like, how do you.
Zach Noe Towers
They, like, stay up with me.
Jeff Lewis
They're forcing her to eat. They were, you know, it just. They were. I think they were a little aggressive with her. Yeah. Okay. So are you gonna send it or what are you doing?
Zach Noe Towers
Well, no, don't. Not under pressure.
Unidentified Male Caller
Fix it.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
What do you mean fix it? What's wrong with it?
Jackie Schimmel
Jesus.
Jeff Lewis
What.
Unidentified Male Caller
Are you all right?
Jackie Schimmel
It's not a college essay.
Jeff Lewis
Why does it matter? Did you want to add something?
Unidentified Male Caller
No, it's good. I sent it.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. Let's see if she gets back.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay. If she gets back to you and not to me, I'm gonna fucking lose it.
Unidentified Male Caller
I hope she does.
Jeff Lewis
She probably will. Well, I am her favorite. I am her favorite client.
Unidentified Female Caller
I know.
Zach Noe Towers
Is there a world in which she emailed you and it went to your spam or something?
Jackie Schimmel
No.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, so you're need to buy her lunch.
Unidentified Male Caller
DM'd. Andrew.
Jackie Schimmel
That's fine.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, my God. Yes, totally.
Jeff Lewis
Or dinner.
Jackie Schimmel
No, we do dinner. We all buy your dinner with our night nurse.
Unidentified Male Caller
That's nice. Shake that.
Jackie Schimmel
By the end, I was given Lupe margaritas. I mean, we were having the best
Zach Noe Towers
time before they watched your baby.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
Wow.
Jackie Schimmel
A couple nights.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. I let my employees drink, but not too much.
Jackie Schimmel
No, just like we had a shot of mezcal the first night that she got him sleeping through the night. Cause that's her favorite drink.
Zach Noe Towers
The baby had one too.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah, exactly.
Jeff Lewis
That's what got him to sleep the night.
Jackie Schimmel
Just a little on the gums.

All right, Lillian. I see typing bubbles. Jackie Wild.
Jackie Schimmel
Crazy.
Jeff Lewis
So, again, good morning, Lillian. It's Jeff Lewis. I heard you spoke with Jackie Schimmel about working with her family. Oh, I would have done she and her husband, you know, Do. Do you know, do you. Do she and her husband or her and her husband?
Unidentified Male Caller
Her and her husband are.
Jeff Lewis
Her and her husband are the kindest people. Is that grammatically correct?
Unidentified Male Caller
Maybe it should have been also a lie.
Jeff Lewis
You will love them. Exclamation point. Hope all is well. Long time typing.
Zach Noe Towers
Long time bubble.
Jeff Lewis
She's been typing for minutes.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, my God. She also met Clyde, who gave her the biggest hug and went in for the lips.
Jeff Lewis
Well, stay tuned. We have bubbles.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, my God, I'm freaking out. What if she was like, I don't know.
Jeff Lewis
Did you get your car fixed, by the way?
Zach Noe Towers
I did. Totally fine. It was just like the worst day ever because.
Jeff Lewis
Seventeen hundred dollars in damage, right?
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah. But you know what? So what sucks is I. Before you, I talked to you. I did file a claim on my insurance, despite it being $1,000 deductible. I was like, well, let me get this other $700 back. Why am I paying $300 a month?
Jeff Lewis
And then, well, now you're gonna pay four.
Zach Noe Towers
I know. So now they're like, oh, it was 100% your fault. And so now I'm like, well, then, nevermind. I want to take it back.
Unidentified Male Caller
Take it back.
Jackie Schimmel
Just kidding.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, your rates are gonna go up.
Unidentified Male Caller
I made the whole thing up.
Zach Noe Towers
I hate insurance in West Hollywood. It's so high. It's so high.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
All right. I don't know what she's. God, this is not looking good. She's still typing.
Zach Noe Towers
But you said she's not a brain surgeon either, so maybe she's sounding words
Jeff Lewis
out or spell checking.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, that. There's automatic spell check now. You have a lot of stand up dates. I can't even believe how busy you are.
Zach Noe Towers
Isn't it crazy?
Jeff Lewis
Just a lot of people taking time off right now, but you've got so
Zach Noe Towers
many of the slack.
Jeff Lewis
No, so many dates, honey.
Zach Noe Towers
North Carolina, I'm in rally, June 16th, Charlotte. June 17th, I'm headlining the club in San Francisco for Pride weekend. June 25th through the 27th. I'm in London at Leicester Square Theater. August 1st, Philadelphia. September 23rd, St. Louis, September 24th, Portland, Oregon. October 15th, tickets to Zachnoy Towers dot com. Also, I'm on a thing called punch up now. And if you give your name or email or your email your phone number, it'll give you a little jolt when I'm coming to your hood.
Unidentified Male Caller
Ooh, punch up.
Jeff Lewis
We got some bad news. Wait, no, not that you're doing stand up.
Unidentified Male Caller
No.
Jeff Lewis
Hi, Jeff. Good morning. I was thinking about you. She interviewed me, but she didn't hire me. She wants awake care. That's so hard to be awake all night. I rest when the baby sleeps and I always have a place to lie. Flat bed. You didn't give her a bed?
Jackie Schimmel
Of course I did.
Jeff Lewis
Because it's not healthy to be sitting all night awake on a chair as she requested.
Jackie Schimmel
What?
Jeff Lewis
I just finished a contract yesterday with a wonderful family and I'm looking for a job. If you have friends who need a doula and who. Who will. Let's see, who will have a baby. If you can refer me, please. I always feel honored that I worked with your daughter. How is Monroe doing? You were gonna make her stay up all night in a chair?
Jackie Schimmel
Of course not.
Zach Noe Towers
You tie her to the chair?
Jeff Lewis
Was it like a metal fold out chair? Wait, next to the crib.
Zach Noe Towers
Wait, wait, what? And she had to drink a Red Bull every hour.
Jeff Lewis
She misunderstood.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, clearly.
Zach Noe Towers
Did she? Or is she making this up?
Jeff Lewis
Or you're a tyrant.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh my God, by the way, I love that for me, but that's.
Jeff Lewis
That was not she want awake care. And that's so hard to be awake all night. Yeah, I let her sleep when the baby was sleeping.
Jackie Schimmel
Of course. What the hell's awake care? I don't even know what that means.
Jeff Lewis
Where the person just sits up all night and starts the baby.
Jackie Schimmel
By the way. Okay, I think she might be mistaking me for another person because I literally said, I don't care what you do as long as I Wake up and that baby's alive. We're good, girl.
Jeff Lewis
Did you not provide a bed for her?
Jackie Schimmel
Of course I did. I said.
Jeff Lewis
I said, these are the futon. Is it a mattress on the floor? A sleeping bag?
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, my God. I was like, here's this beautiful bathroom. Gucci wallpaper. And here's the bedroom that you can have where you could sleep wherever.
Jeff Lewis
Not healthy to be sitting all night awake on a chair, as she requested.
Jackie Schimmel
What chair?
Jeff Lewis
Holy shit. You are lying to us.
Unidentified Male Caller
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
You were going to make that sweet woman sit up all night in a chair.
Jackie Schimmel
By the way, I did offer her. I said, please send over your contract whenever, and here's my email address.
Jeff Lewis
Like, well, she found a wonderful family that lets her sleep.
Zach Noe Towers
No, she's looking for a job.
Jeff Lewis
Is that even confused by the whole thing?
Jackie Schimmel
I'm so confused.
Jeff Lewis
I'm really confused, too.
Jackie Schimmel
But she never even responded.
Jeff Lewis
Wait, so she said she signed. I just finished. Oh, she just finished a contract. You got to get in there right now.
Zach Noe Towers
She's looking for.
Jeff Lewis
She just finished a contract yesterday.
Jackie Schimmel
No, I don't like liars.
Jeff Lewis
She's not a liar. I'm telling you. She's just not smart. So you've got it. You just have to communicate better.
Jackie Schimmel
But no, I'm a good communicator. Communicate for a living. I need to understand where.
Jeff Lewis
You can't let her go. Text her right now.
Jackie Schimmel
I texted her three times. What? Where is.
Zach Noe Towers
Call her.
Jackie Schimmel
Wait.
Jeff Lewis
Go outside and call her.
Jackie Schimmel
Where in the world would she get creative enough to think that I wanted her to stay awake all night?
Jeff Lewis
I think you call right now and be like, I didn't expect you to sit in a chair all night in a chair.
Zach Noe Towers
You've got to go.
Jeff Lewis
You gotta go rectify this.
Zach Noe Towers
Or is she lying to not do the job?
Unidentified Male Caller
No, she just didn't like Jackie.
Jeff Lewis
Jeremy, who wouldn't want to work for Andrew?
Jackie Schimmel
That's so true. He was there in the interview.
Jeff Lewis
Great.
Jackie Schimmel
It wasn't just me. It was Andrew. He's lovely.
Jeff Lewis
You should let him do the talking next time.
Jackie Schimmel
I literally was making so many jokes, and Andrew's like, jackie, you have to stop making jokes like that. In these interviews where I was like, I don't care. You can do whatever you want.
Zach Noe Towers
Put it in a blender as long as it's alive.
Jackie Schimmel
You don't understand. I'm like, whatever the opposite of neurotic is with children. That's me.
Jeff Lewis
What you don't understand, I don't care, is that these nurses are interviewing you and you Failed.
Zach Noe Towers
That's not her, is it?
Jeff Lewis
You failed. You fucked this up. She is the best night nurse that I know of.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay, well, he's got a bone now. Lupe Christ, who is my original night nurse and my Lord and savior. Like. Like, that's the love of my life. So. You know what? This just has.
Jeff Lewis
I would literally send her a car service if that's what she needed. Whatever she needed. Whoa.
Jackie Schimmel
We talked about. She's in the Valley, so she's, like, geographically desirable.
Jeff Lewis
Go fix this.
Jackie Schimmel
She's got three children. Clyde went in for a mouth kiss.
Zach Noe Towers
I thought that maybe that's why.
Jeff Lewis
Is this Shirley or Shirley in Simi Valley?
Zach Noe Towers
Cheryl.
Jeff Lewis
Cheryl. Hi, Cheryl.
Jackie Schimmel
Shirley.
Jeff Lewis
Hi, Cheryl.
Cheryl
Good morning, guys. How are you?
Jeff Lewis
Good. What's up? Cheryl?
Cheryl
I wanted to congratulate Jackie on baby number two. I have a curly hair boy just like yours. And my second son has completely straight hair. And he's just as gorgeous, but just in a completely different way.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but we're also talking about his face. Clyde has a beautiful face. The chances are she's not going to have another child as cute as Clyde.
Cheryl
I was actually very. I had the same feeling, like, so worried, like, oh, my gosh. My son is just. There's nothing that, like, he can't. This can't be duplicated. And it. You know, it can happen.
Jeff Lewis
Is your second responsible? Do you. You have two kids?
Cheryl
I have two boys.
Jeff Lewis
Is the second one as cute as the first? Be honest. No, of course. No. Yeah. You pause and your voice went higher.
Zach Noe Towers
Cute kids can get busted when they go through puberty.
Jackie Schimmel
That's so true.
Cheryl
That's true.
Jeff Lewis
Right. Well, thanks for calling.
Jackie Schimmel
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
No, you're prepared for this. Right? So here's the thing. All the holiday cards put Clyde up front.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, of course. Front and center. He's Beyonce. Yeah, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And then I would put the baby just a little far further in the
Jackie Schimmel
back, behind the tree.
Zach Noe Towers
Like ads for your show.
Jeff Lewis
Exactly. However they shoot, but still flipping out. Promo. That's how you should do it.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay, so the baby will just be in a pool, floatin.
Jeff Lewis
If I were you, I'd be stressed out right now. I couldn't focus on radio.
Jackie Schimmel
No, I'm not stressed. I'm irritated.
Jeff Lewis
No, no, don't be irritated. She misunderstood.
Jackie Schimmel
I feel this is not.
Jeff Lewis
She misunderstood.
Unidentified Male Caller
It's not a fit. There was a major.
Jeff Lewis
But you also said something. You were joking around.
Jackie Schimmel
You.
Jeff Lewis
I know you. You were fucking around. You were joking around and she took you seriously. She doesn't have that kind of sense of humor.
Jackie Schimmel
I mean, I literally said, do whatever you want.
Jeff Lewis
I think you probably joked. And then she's like, oh, God, I have to be. Be up all night, and I have to cook dinner, and I have to.
Zach Noe Towers
I doubt.
Unidentified Male Caller
Did you make any sort of joke? Like, I need you sitting in the chair staring at the baby like something.
Jeff Lewis
Were you drinking?
Jackie Schimmel
No. I literally said, I'm like, whatever. Your strategy is whatever. As long as that thing gets through the nights, we're good. I said, whatever you want to do. Breezy.
Unidentified Male Caller
Breezy.
Jackie Schimmel
I am too easy.
Zach Noe Towers
Breezy.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
You did something wrong.
Jackie Schimmel
I don't know.
Jeff Lewis
Cause I didn't have this kind of problems. Clearly, I'm the best client, even over Jenny Poulos, that everybody loves.
Jackie Schimmel
That's true.
Jeff Lewis
Isn't that funny? Very interesting. America's sweetheart. And I'm Lillian's favorite. What does that tell you?
Jackie Schimmel
It is true. You got a big spread. You're the centerfold of her binder.
Jeff Lewis
You're one way on camera. And you're another way off.
Zach Noe Towers
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
I happen to be nicer off camera.
Jackie Schimmel
It is true. It is true.
Jeff Lewis
All right, so good luck, Jackie.
Jackie Schimmel
But by the way, why wouldn't she even just respond to me and say sorry? Like, I don't think it's a fit?
Jeff Lewis
That's why I think she's not confrontational.
Zach Noe Towers
Lying here.
Jackie Schimmel
No. Right, because then just say she's not lying. I sent her three text messages.
Jeff Lewis
Jackie's lying.
Jackie Schimmel
I'm not. I just need someone to watch the child so that I can have something to look forward to. I'm not taking care of that baby during those nights. I can't do it. I'll unravel. I'll die.
Jeff Lewis
You cannot do it. You and no sleep.
Jackie Schimmel
No, no, no. It's not good for anybody. It's bad. It's bad for all of us.
Jeff Lewis
It's bad for Jeff Lewis Live.
Jackie Schimmel
It's bad for the country.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Twink Death.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah. What's up?
Jeff Lewis
That's your special. Do you want to promote it?
Zach Noe Towers
It's on YouTube for free. What a steal. It's almost got 60,000 views, which is enough for me to not self harm. And people are loving it. I think the LA Times is gonna write it up for Pride Month.
Jeff Lewis
Well, hopefully they'll get the title correct, unlike Page Six.
Zach Noe Towers
I know they said twink to death. I'm like, it was from a gay guy. I was like, babe. What? That's not a phrase.
Jeff Lewis
That means they didn't watch it.
Zach Noe Towers
Oh, yeah, definitely. Nobody's watching it. Nobody.
Jeff Lewis
Nobody.
Zach Noe Towers
Interviewing is Watching it.
Jeff Lewis
I watched it.
Zach Noe Towers
You were there.
Jeff Lewis
I was there.
Zach Noe Towers
And it. But did you clip through the. The actual special? Because it turned out good.
Jeff Lewis
I didn't need to. I was there. It was good.
Zach Noe Towers
I know, but you didn't see it filmed from, like, eight angles.
Jeff Lewis
What are we going to do with all that unsold merch? I know, right? We have a lot of it. I know.
Zach Noe Towers
I can see why people start to just give things away. To be clear, I have made my money back and then some, but not what I thought I was going to. And I am sitting on some DVDs and some T shirts.
Jackie Schimmel
That's okay.
Zach Noe Towers
And posters.
Jackie Schimmel
No, hold on to them. They'll be vintage. We'll do a RE edition.
Zach Noe Towers
You're right.
Unidentified Male Caller
A RE release.
Jeff Lewis
Are you doing a mommy makeover when you're done?
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
What's the plans?
Jackie Schimmel
Okay. Thank you so much for asking. We are doing a reduction lift. We're doing lipo in the back.
Jeff Lewis
Will there be scars?
Zach Noe Towers
Weight reduction lift.
Jackie Schimmel
I'm gonna go see Dr. Teitelbaum. I think it's the best.
Jeff Lewis
Expensive, probably.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah. I gotta see what. What numbers.
Jeff Lewis
Right. But we don't want any scars.
Jackie Schimmel
No, we're not doing scars.
Jeff Lewis
And then. Are you going small?
Zach Noe Towers
Do people ask for scars? No, they're just, like. They're unavoidable in certain cases, yes.
Jackie Schimmel
You kind of got to be careful.
Jeff Lewis
You're not doing an implant, then. You're just doing it.
Jackie Schimmel
No good.
Jeff Lewis
You don't need one.
Jackie Schimmel
A reduction lift.
Jeff Lewis
What are we thinking? A C? Full C? C, Small C, Small C? Yeah. Because when you get back to your goal weight, you're going to be tiny again.
Jackie Schimmel
I want to.
Jeff Lewis
So you don't want too big.
Jackie Schimmel
Small boob. I'm probably going to do, like, an assortment of lipo from, like, the forehead down to the ankles. Just like, wherever they could hit me. I want to bang for the buck once I'm under.
Zach Noe Towers
Let's get creative. Do it.
Jeff Lewis
Wait.
Zach Noe Towers
Do they put the boob fat somewhere else? Is that a thing?
Jackie Schimmel
No, I want them to take it out.
Zach Noe Towers
Right.
Jeff Lewis
And just flush it.
Zach Noe Towers
Like, put it in your ass or something.
Jackie Schimmel
No.
Zach Noe Towers
Don't they relocate fat or whatever.
Jackie Schimmel
I want a big, fat ass. It's not for me.
Zach Noe Towers
Maybe Jeff can have the boob fat.
Jackie Schimmel
I'll save for you if you'd like.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I'll take it. I'm so curious. Would you please just call Lillian?
Jackie Schimmel
I. No, we're not speaking.
Jeff Lewis
Just call her on the air.
Unidentified Male Caller
They're not speaking terms.
Jackie Schimmel
We're not speaking.
Jeff Lewis
Come on.
Jackie Schimmel
No, no. It's not a fit.
Jeff Lewis
Is this. Are you serious right now?
Jackie Schimmel
Taking the power dynamic back.
Jeff Lewis
Wow.
Jackie Schimmel
It's not a fit.
Jeff Lewis
Put your kid first.
Zach Noe Towers
Ooh. It's not a fit.
Jackie Schimmel
It's not a fit.
Zach Noe Towers
Just get an AI robot thing.
Jackie Schimmel
It ain't a fit.
Zach Noe Towers
Be like, flip the baby every 30 minutes.
Jackie Schimmel
You thank Christ with her suggested date.
Jeff Lewis
That's how I know you are not telling the truth.
Jackie Schimmel
About what?
Jeff Lewis
About what you told her.
Zach Noe Towers
Because the next logical call would be like, there is a misunderstanding. Let's clear this up.
Jeff Lewis
No bed, metal chair. Sit next to the baby, stare all night.
Zach Noe Towers
Eyes wide. Eyes wide open. Like clockwork Orange.
Jeff Lewis
She's gonna put two pics in her eyes.
Jackie Schimmel
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Not healthy.
Jackie Schimmel
I have a hanging light bulb with
Unidentified Male Caller
a string on it.
Jackie Schimmel
One hanging light bulb, a metal chair, and bars on the windows. It's Alcatraz Island.
Jeff Lewis
She also probably told her you won't be eating while you're here either.
Jackie Schimmel
No, that'll be me.
Jeff Lewis
Wow.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Interesting how she doesn't want to fix
Zach Noe Towers
do some night nurses breastfeed.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, no. I'll send up a. I'll send a follow up text for sure and be like, I'm sorry. I think perhaps there was a bit of confusion.
Zach Noe Towers
I think it's called a wet nurse.
Jackie Schimmel
Of course.
Jeff Lewis
Just in case I accidentally get pregnant again.
Jackie Schimmel
No, totally. I'm gonna say I. I feel like maybe there was. That'd be a geriatric pregnancy communication, but I wish you well.
Jeff Lewis
All right. Rosewood, Santa Barbara. That's your place. That is your.
Jackie Schimmel
Oh, God.
Jeff Lewis
That's your. Disneyland. Correct, Correct. Okay, so recently, you go there often? Checked in and they started telling you what a great upgrade they have for you.
Jackie Schimmel
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, so what happened?
Jackie Schimmel
I would just like to go on record and say that I love this hotel and I will be back a million more times.
Jeff Lewis
Not after today. When I'm done.
Jackie Schimmel
Okay, cool. Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
I'm just kidding.
Jackie Schimmel
Another bridge burn. No nightmares. No Disneyland. I was just, you know, I don't know if it's the hormones or whatever it was. They said, oh, we upgraded, you know, to a bungalow. I was like, thank you so much. That's so lovely. Okay. They said it's just gonna be a little bit longer. So, you know, with the babies, with the nap, it's. We're supposed to get an earlier check in, but I thought if the room's gonna be better, we wait a while, we. We ixnay the nap, and we go with the flow. Okay, so we're waiting. We get into the room. Now, here's the thing. Yes. Is it a room type upgrade? Yes. But is it a square footage upgrade? No, it's a downgrade of the square footage. Okay.
Jeff Lewis
So you got three people in that suite.
Jackie Schimmel
Yeah. So I put Clyde's crib in the closet as a lady does, because I'm a very, you know, neurotic hovercraft of a mother that requires Alcatraz conditions for night nurses. I shove my son in the closet like a lady, okay. And I'm looking around, and I'm just thinking, I'm a bigger person now, literally. And I don't know if this is gonna work, so I go back to the front desk and I say, hey, guys, thanks so much. Is there any other room with a little bit more space? Because if the, you know, if the. If the normal king room is 590 square feet, this one's only 500 square feet, then it's so embarrassing. Everyone's checking in. There's a long line. It was not great. I went back, like, three times. It was. I was mortified. It was embarrassing.
Jeff Lewis
Wasn't an upgrade. They didn't have your room. Well, I hate when they do that.
Jackie Schimmel
Missing. And then Clyde. I didn't have diapers. I didn't have wipes. And then I started getting a little levitating. They were very busy. I was being. And I'm, like, overly nice in those situations. Probably too much. So where I get. It was not great.
Jeff Lewis
Well, hopefully you're a little nicer than you are in those interviews with night nurses.
Jackie Schimmel
Clearly. Clearly.
Unidentified Female Caller
Did they end up giving you the downgrade?
Jackie Schimmel
No. Then they gave me the most Parker shout out at the front desk of the Rosewood. Got a gorgeous, gorgeous room.
Jeff Lewis
