Doug Buden
Focus.
Jeff Lewis
When I have an 8 hour shift. And XXX after I was out all night at a club called xxx, drink Vitamin water. It's from New York.
Doug Buden
When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I don't need therapy. I don't need a prayer service. I need the fucking facts. Get to the point. She shut me down. I know. She's like, I don't want this toxic man near me.
Jeff Lewis
See, you're a nice person.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Don't tell anyone. Well, nobody thinks it, so it doesn't matter. Jeff Lewis has issues. Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis has Issues. In today's episode, Kirby Bliss Blanton and Doug Buten join the show. We talk about packing company sponsored lunches and hotel numbers. Good morning.
Jeff Lewis
Hello.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Thank you for having me, Kirby.
Jeff Lewis
You too, love.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, hi, Doug.
Doug Buden
Well, I wasn't supposed to be here originally.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, thank you. So Jody Sweeten, everybody. She was scheduled for today. She actually fell down the stairs yesterday.
Jeff Lewis
I asked you, I was like, is she okay?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
She literally fell down the stairs. Really hurt her back. I know she was going to the doctor. I know that she said that she was not very mobile, but here's the thing. When you're that top heavy, you gotta be careful going down those stairs. Oh, oh, we have audio. Yeah. She's got an ample bosom. Yeah, I'm surprised she doesn't fall all the time.
Doug Buden
Center of gravity.
Jeff Lewis
I don't have that problem. But I'll definitely be here. I'll be texting her afterwards.
Doug Buden
Get well soon. Not too soon, but get well soon.
Jeff Lewis
Yes. We miss you. We love you.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Now, fortunately, Doug was just right out in the lobby waiting for a cancellation.
Doug Buden
I'm using the WI Fi. I have my understudy card. You guys need me, I'm subbing in for, you know, the Julie Cunningham show later. I'm on sways at 4:00pm today.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So, Douglas, I just want to be clear. We are. You and I are leaving tomorrow for Chump Con in Vegas. How many times have you packed?
Doug Buden
Well, I only packed once. I've repacked daily for the last. Since last Friday.
Jody Sweetin
Since Friday, yeah.
Doug Buden
What, again? I don't know that. Listen, think about what in your life gives you anxiety and then the ways that you can relieve your anxiety. Things like this give me anxiety. So to relieve my anxiety, I put everything that I can possibly think of into that bag. Once I zip that bag, my anxiety is now released. So now every day I can go back into that bag and pull more out. So I've pulled out tons of things and every day my bag gets a little bit smaller.
Jody Sweetin
What was in there that you pulled out?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Like, lube?
Doug Buden
Well, no, that stays.
Jeff Lewis
Of course.
Doug Buden
I need to make more room for the lube. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, I had some choices. Like, I don't need four choices of shirts to wear for the Saturday night show. I just need one, and that will be the choice. But I put.
Jameson
I put.
Doug Buden
I put all four in. So now I can remove. So every day just gets a little bit smaller.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I just got a message that they believe that you pushed Jody so he could be on the show.
Doug Buden
Sorry, Jody.
Jameson
I was inspired by Doug and I did pack, pre pack. My first pack yesterday. I laid it all out on the bed. And then I will actually pack this.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I did a pre pack too. Okay, well, but my pre pack is just. I put the outfits, they're hanging in the closet. In a certain section of the closet. I mean, let's be honest, I had somebody come and do it, but. And then today I'll put it in the suitcase.
Doug Buden
So that's. So what you've done is you've done a.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Actually, Shade will put this in case.
Doug Buden
That's a pull and a pack. That's just a pull.
Jody Sweetin
A pull and a pack.
Doug Buden
I start with a pull. That's pulling the looks, then a pack, which is really a pre pack, then a pack, then a repack.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
But I'm gonna do a poll. I did a poll. Well, Julie did a poll. I'm gonna do an edit and then Shane will do a pack.
Doug Buden
And that's what we're talking about.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Kirby, how do you pack?
Jeff Lewis
I do pack before, but not days before.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Right. So is it the morning before? Is it the night before?
Jeff Lewis
The night before? The night before for sure. Okay, absolutely. And I, like, make sure that I have A bunch of laundry clean so that I can pack everything. And y. I am kind of organized.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Do you go through it? Like, I'll like, replay it in my head like I'm getting up in the morning. I need this, this, this, this, this, this. Like, I replay the whole thing. Do you do that too?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. And I'll think of, like, outfits that I should wear on the trip while I'm in bed. And then I'll like, be like. And I get out of bed and then I grab something and put it in the bag and it's. It's a whole thing.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, so you're adding. You're not editing.
Jeff Lewis
I don't edit. I should add. I should edit. I should definitely edit.
Jody Sweetin
Bring in.
Doug Buden
But the other thing is, like, a lot of times women especially Kirby's wearing these very fancy motorcycle pants. And like, you can't just throw that in us. Like, that needs a lot of cute, right? But that's. So that takes up a lot of room.
Jeff Lewis
Vegan leather. So I'm not hurting anyone's feeling.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, we don't care. I know, but no one cares here.
Jeff Lewis
Some do. So I'm just saying.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
But I mean, I'm great that it's vegan leather, but we don't care.
Doug Buden
They feel. They feel very nice.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You could wear fur here if you want.
Jeff Lewis
I bet I could.
Jody Sweetin
Didn't.
Doug Buden
Who's talking about that?
Jody Sweetin
Barlow.
Jameson
I also did the morning of post it because I'm a pillow packer, so I obviously can't prepack my pillow. I need it for that night.
Jody Sweetin
You bring your own pillow from mountain?
Jameson
I bring everywhere. I bring my own pillow everywhere.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
How do you fit that in the suitcase?
Jameson
Ziploc space bags. I suck the air out of it.
Doug Buden
You brought it to Disneyland when we worked at Disneyland. That we found.
Jameson
Okay, you're sick.
Jeff Lewis
You're a pervert.
Jameson
You're a pervert. But there's a post it for the morning of. For everything that could not be pre packed.
Doug Buden
Your night breaks, night brace.
Jameson
Including my. Yeah. Mouth guards.
Jeff Lewis
Do you make a list of things to do that with?
Jameson
Okay, so pajama pajamas.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You wear pajamas and you only have one pair?
Doug Buden
You don't have a single?
Jameson
Well, no, but I just want to wear the ones that I'm wearing.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Is it the ones with the hole in the back?
Jameson
This is exactly the ones. It's not worn out. It's cut out.
Doug Buden
See above. Pillow biter.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
How many pairs of pajamas will you wear?
Jameson
Just one. But I'm going to want to wear the ones I'm Wearing this week to complete the circle.
Doug Buden
Are you swallowing your tongue or something?
Jeff Lewis
No.
Jameson
I have a lozenge in.
Jody Sweetin
Oh, you wear pajamas every night.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Everybody's sick here.
Doug Buden
Yeah, not me. I've been taking my zinc.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Good for you. Everyone keeps saying oregano.
Jody Sweetin
I just sneezed. I'm really nervous.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, you're gonna get it.
Jody Sweetin
Like, and it's the worst possible timing for me to get sick, like, tonight or tomorrow.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yeah. What do you stress? Start taking stuff now.
Doug Buden
Right?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Take.
Doug Buden
Take zinc. Zinc?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Do emergency and all of, like, the airborne and all those things.
Jameson
I'm taking the zinc because everyone around me has been sneezing.
Doug Buden
I'm also doing orange juice.
Jody Sweetin
It's very Jeff fashioned to host a super spreader event again.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I know.
Doug Buden
It is Kirby. It is.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Now, this came from Kian, who is not here right now. But I do want to ask you, will this be the second time you have sex this weekend in Las Vegas?
Doug Buden
This weekend? No, it won't be.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay.
Doug Buden
I'm not having sex this weekend.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh. We just thought since you're in Vegas.
Doug Buden
I mean, I'm going to pleasure myself.
Jameson
As you should.
Jeff Lewis
As you should.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Why would you?
Doug Buden
I'm always honest.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Ew.
Doug Buden
That's why I want some alone time.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Nya, are you okay? Nya's feeling sick.
Jody Sweetin
Oh, I'm uncomfortable.
Jeff Lewis
She needs to exit the room. She's like, I'm gonna take a lap. I'm gonna take a lap.
Doug Buden
I'm a sexual being, Nya.
Jody Sweetin
I'm happy for you.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So you've got all your looks. You're ready to go?
Doug Buden
I think so. It does require two bags. I have one show bag, and then one bag with all my clothes.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I'm sorry. A show bag?
Doug Buden
Yes. We have props.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, you have your cnk.
Doug Buden
I have salt. But I also have stuff that we're gonna use for the life.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Is that gonna make it through tsa? I got salt.
Jody Sweetin
Sweet.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You got salt?
Jeff Lewis
I got salt today. I'm pretty pumped. My mom's gonna love it. I'm really excited.
Jody Sweetin
You're gonna give it away, Shan.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Shout out Shan.
Jody Sweetin
Shout out Shan.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Wait a minute. So you're re gifting it?
Jeff Lewis
No, it was for my mom.
Doug Buden
I brought it to Kirby. I said, please give this to your mom.
Jody Sweetin
So what did you bring for Kirby?
Jeff Lewis
His good time, incredible personality.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, my God. Was he just talking your ear off in the green room? I am so sorry.
Jameson
You.
Doug Buden
Tell the truth.
Jeff Lewis
No, he wasn't. In fact, he kind of, like, at one point was like. Like he wanted to listen to the show. He didn't shush. But he turned up the volume.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I'm sure he did shush. Wait a minute. They might mention me.
Doug Buden
No, I was listening.
Jeff Lewis
No, he was doing his homework. He was. He's being a professional.
Doug Buden
Kian and Kirby started chatting. So all I did was instead of shushing him.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, I'm sure Keyan was up in that.
Jeff Lewis
No, Kian has a girlfriend. We were chatt chatting about this. And I was gonna make a joke that I didn't get these sides just to throw him under the bus. But he's not here, so it won't be funny.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It's for a game that we're playing. But I'm sure Keyian was interesting. Cause I kept looking for him. Cause he's supposed to be in here. But of course he's following you around.
Jeff Lewis
I'm sure he's making sure everybody got to their cars okay.
Jody Sweetin
No one knows.
Jeff Lewis
No, I mean the parking ticket thing. So I'm sure there was.
Doug Buden
Was that real?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yeah, she got some sort of parking ticket.
Doug Buden
Isobel knocked on the green room door to ask if any of us had that car. And I said more of a warning.
Jameson
It's not a ticket, it's a spot.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
What are they gonna do?
Jameson
Right?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
What are they gonna do?
Doug Buden
But for the record, for everybody listening, Carnie did park in between.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yes, I know she did.
Jody Sweetin
She keeps saying no.
Doug Buden
She keeps saying no. That's one spot.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
She thinks two tandem spots are one spot.
Doug Buden
It's not two spots if you have a Winnebago.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It's one spot. It's two. You're right. She doesn't have a Winnipeg or a limousine.
Jameson
But also, all the single spots are available when we get here. But you only need to use the tandem spots. If there's no single spot.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
She's not gonna make it a spot.
Jeff Lewis
Right next to your car too. When I came in, I wasn't gonna park there. It made me nervous.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
She should reconsider this whole gay thing.
Doug Buden
Good idea, you know?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Where are you parked, Kirby?
Jeff Lewis
P4I. Listen, I'm aware. I know what to do.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You're smart.
Jeff Lewis
I'm ready.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Follow instructions.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I try.
Doug Buden
I'm in a new car right now. I backed in and I have this huge. Almost the size of a Winnebago. I'm in a loaner car right now. Cause remember, my car horn wasn't working. So they picked it up and they gave me a loaner. And I said, I don't want an suv. I need a small car because I have a very Small driveway. And they brought me this big suv. I said, I can't drive this. So they said, okay. So they drove it away and they said, we'll come back in the afternoon. And they brought me an even bigger one. So now I have this big.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Are you Serious?
Jody Sweetin
Got the Q5?
Doug Buden
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
What are you driving?
Jameson
What do you drive?
Jeff Lewis
You got a Hemi?
Doug Buden
I got a Q5.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
That's nice. That's too big for you.
Doug Buden
Yeah, that's what. You can't get that on and off my drive. I'm leaving it on the street.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I know. They're good cars.
Jeff Lewis
They really are.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I do want to ask you for your birthday. Jameson?
Jameson
Yes.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
What are your plans?
Jameson
Gonna have a pretty chill night, see my man, and do some packing and just kind of like cleaning and whatnot. But we're gonna celebrate next weekend.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, I see.
Jameson
So I said I want gifts and celebration all next weekend. So we're gonna do that then.
Doug Buden
Oh, that's what I requested, even from chumps.
Jameson
I mean, if you're giving things, I'll take them.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, so he's gonna just plan something next weekend then?
Jameson
We already have. Yeah, we have something planned for next weekend. It's just kind of like was weird timing with chum Con and leaving and barking. So we're gonna do that next week.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Great. What's planned?
Jameson
We're. I don't want to say what's planned.
Jody Sweetin
Are we going to eat or are you going away?
Jameson
We are. We're getting drinks in one place and dinner in another and then post drinks in another.
Jody Sweetin
Wow.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
All right, give us the places, don't tell us the day.
Jameson
Okay, well, I wanted a Beverly Hills evening, so we're gonna go to the Polo Lounge for drinks.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Nice, nice.
Jameson
And then we're gonna go hopefully to Funk for dinner. You can only get a reservation seven days out, so we have backup reservations just in case.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Where's your backup?
Jameson
Backups are Avra and then another Italian place on Sunset or something. And then we're gonna do post drinks maybe at the Beverly Wilshire or something like that. Oh, I want a whole, like, prostitution evening.
Doug Buden
I have a hookup there. I have a hookup at the Reach Bev will.
Jameson
Oh, okay.
Jeff Lewis
Reach Bev will.
Doug Buden
Rick Milliken's brother's the concierge there.
Jameson
Oh, thanks, Doug.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Well, can you get them a room so they can spend the night?
Doug Buden
I don't think I can get a room, but I think I can get you an amenity in the bar.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
An amenity? But I mean, what would it cost for Them to stay the night. That would be nice.
Doug Buden
I think that's an expensive hotel.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
But. But if your friend's the concierge, why can't he get us a discount?
Doug Buden
Because I once tried to use that to get a discount for someone and he said we don't get discounts.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
But I can get such a beautiful hotel.
Jameson
It is, but we don't need to spend the night. This will be perfect. It'll be low key.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay, this is what I'm wondering. I think you should spend the night. I think you should check in, I think you should have a pre drink there, then go to dinner, then wrap it up, have a post drink there and then spend the night. It's such a beautiful hotel.
Jameson
Sure, but it's not necessary. I'm gonna have the whole hotel experience.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, I've already planned it. What day. What day are we going?
Jameson
We have the whole hotel experience this weekend.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You know what? I'm gonna make your a birthday an even happier one. I'll join for a drink.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, we're.
Jameson
The bar's closed. It's renovation.
Doug Buden
We were gonna. We were gonna celebrate Jameson's birthday tomorrow night with dinner. We have a fan social and then I was gonna take Jameson out for dinner, but I had to cancel Jameson. Sorry.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Why?
Doug Buden
That's when we're gonna do our tech. We're doing a tech tomorrow at 9pm, Jameson and me.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Are you serious? Yeah.
Jameson
Why? It was the most ideal time to do it.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
9:00Pm?
Doug Buden
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You're gonna be drunk.
Doug Buden
So.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So are you.
Jameson
That's when I do my best work.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Wow. I'm looking forward to that show.
Doug Buden
We're going from our fan social to the tech. So I guess you're right. We will be drunk. Oops. Good luck with your lighting.
Jeff Lewis
They're professionals. I trust them both.
Jameson
Thank you, Carpenter.
Jeff Lewis
For sure. Absolutely.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Are you doing any sort of makeup situation?
Doug Buden
What do you mean?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Are you getting your makeup done?
Doug Buden
No.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You getting powdered?
Doug Buden
Well, I have my invisible face powder that I wear, of course.
Jody Sweetin
Why are you laughing?
Doug Buden
You look at me like I'm from Mars.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, I just under the stage lights. I know. I think everybody should be powdered.
Doug Buden
But I have face powder that I bring with me.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Is it white?
Doug Buden
No, it's nude. It's like kabuki. I'm doing a kabuki. I actually have that. But that's from a different.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Like a geisha girl. That'd be so pretty.
Doug Buden
When I did that for Halloween. I still have some of that makeup.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, but I don't think we can do that anymore. It's not. Politically, I think that's correct.
Doug Buden
Cultural appropriate.
Jeff Lewis
Cultural appropriate.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Then again, though, it's chump con. No one cares. You can do whatever you want.
Doug Buden
Well, you can, but you aren't gonna.
Jeff Lewis
Use your tanner, you said.
Doug Buden
Yeah, I'm doing the Chaz Dean light tan misting. I'm gonna do that tonight.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
He's tried it many times, Kirby, because he wanted to get it right for Saturday.
Jody Sweetin
I think you should wait and do it on Thursday night.
Doug Buden
That's tomorrow. Oh, do it there.
Jody Sweetin
You said do it tonight. I think you should do it tomorrow night.
Doug Buden
Oh.
Jody Sweetin
Because it'll be gone by Saturday if you do it tonight.
Doug Buden
Okay, I'll do it then. I'll bring it with me. Now I'm gonna have to add something to my suitcase. Read that.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I do want to talk to you about something that I'm actually upset about. I know it's your birthday.
Jameson
Jeff is looking at me.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I know it's your birthday, okay? And I hate to lay into you on this, but yesterday. Now you know that my superpower is I have. Even when I'm sick, I still have supernose. Okay, so yesterday, apparently There was some SiriusXM sponsored breakfast.
Jameson
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
On the seventh floor.
Jameson
Right.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You kept that from us. Yes, you did.
Jameson
I received the alert during the show.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay, well, did I not talk to you after the show?
Jameson
I don't like to talk to you after the show. Okay. I mean, I did not alert you. You are correct. But I didn't know I needed to alert you.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So down on the seventh floor, which.
Jody Sweetin
Is like a utopia. The seventh floor is incredible.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I have to show it to you. Kirby, on the way down.
Jeff Lewis
Cold boomer, the woman who let me up got off on the seventh floor.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, it's like VVIP downtown.
Jeff Lewis
I should have taken a stop there.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
They have cold brew. They have a boozeball. Yeah.
Doug Buden
Outdoor space, beautiful terrace outdoors. 3,000 square foot terrace.
Jeff Lewis
So what company is it who works SiriusXM? Oh, it's just like the better version of 8.
Doug Buden
But then there's a picture of Jeff Lewis with a red slash over it and it says, do not let into this floor.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So what happened was I go to the lobby on 8 and I could smell some delicious food. And I knew exactly it was on seven. So what they don't realize is that my FOB works on seven. So I took three people down there and we ravaged that buffet. And not only did we do that, we took shit home. And there was bagels, there was pastries, there was muffins. There was breakfast burritos, but we didn't get a breakfast burrito because you didn't tell me that it was going on and they looked delicious.
Jody Sweetin
There was a box that housed the former breakfast burritos. So it's just like sitting there laughing at us while we had to eat dry bagels.
Jameson
Well, the purpose of that.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Fresh fruit, juices, coffee.
Jameson
The purpose of it was to mingle with your fellow colleagues. Did you make friends? How many people did you meet?
Jody Sweetin
No one. Because we missed it.
Jameson
How many new friends?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It was over.
Jody Sweetin
It was over.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
But here's the thing. Why are they not catering something like that for us on the eighth floor? And I'll tell you why.
Jody Sweetin
Not for us.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I'll tell you why. No ad sales. They go out of their way for ad sales. Oh, they're the people that are generating the money for SiriusXM. No, they're not. Let's back it up for a second. How do they sell ads? They sell ads because you take a hit show and then you go to advertisers and that's how you sell the ads. They can't sell those ads without me. I want a brunch.
Jeff Lewis
I hear you doing the ads. I hear you doing the ads.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I want a brunch. You know what I've got? I've got assorted fucking snack packs and they have a full brunch down there on the seventh floor.
Doug Buden
I'm about to add some insult to injury, Jeff. The ice machine is gone from our floor. If you want ice, you've gotta, because.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I'm sure something happened on seventh floor and they took ours and gave it to seven.
Doug Buden
Yep.
Jameson
This is the drama I pulled to Karen. So the hot water machine was like dripping and I was like, this used to flow and now it's dripping. I was full on Karen, because I drink hot water kind of all day. So anyway, they fixed it, but in fixing the hot water machine, they broke the ice machine.
Doug Buden
So it's your fault.
Jameson
Yeah. So they're repairing it, but for the meantime we have to go down to.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Seven boys to get ice. Yes, because of you.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but you know what happens burrito when you go down there?
Doug Buden
What if somebody goes into labor?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, because the breakfast burritos were gone. Because they went first. Kirby, because he didn't fucking tell us that there was a full on breakfast buffet downstairs.
Jameson
We would have left the show.
Jody Sweetin
We would have left the show to do it, to get some to pack up.
Jameson
Jeff. I was doing it for you. We all know. Probably didn't need that brunch.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay. I have to tell you what happened. That was really bad. Okay, see, so yesterday, Julie came over. Shut up, Candy. The stylist came over.
Jeff Lewis
His little giggle.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
And she's like, oh, I love this suit for Saturday. I'm like, oh, that's beautiful. Yeah, let me try. Oh, the pants aren't fitting snug. The pants are fitting size 14.
Doug Buden
Oh, Jack.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
And then I could tell. I'm like, oh, my God, I'm fat. I'm like, I can't fit in this. She's like, it's the dry cleaners.
Jameson
They shrank.
Jeff Lewis
Absolutely.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
They shrank. Clearly.
Jody Sweetin
She's like, they shrank a lot.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
They shank at the. They shrank at the dry cleaners.
Jameson
I'm like, okay, she's trying to help you for chum. Com this weekend.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So then here's another suit. Same thing. Can't fucking. I can barely button the waist. No belt, nothing.
Jeff Lewis
She got the wrong size for sure.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, it's already mine.
Doug Buden
She's pulling clothes. Was she a great big fan of his own clothes? Jeff.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So I've got two pairs right now. Emergency at Cebu right now to let them out so I can fit in them.
Doug Buden
Well, let me tell you something. That brunch on Sunday, you are going to eat at that brunch. So put elastic in them.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Can you text Cebu, tell him to let it out more?
Jody Sweetin
Yep.
Doug Buden
Sibo all the way.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
C Bo.
Jody Sweetin
I think it's a good thing. I think it's because you invested a lot of money to make your ass larger. And if the pants fit the same after, I would say you didn't get your money's worth with the injections. I think that your proportions are changing, and that's something that you wanted.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Thank you.
Doug Buden
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So I haven't gained weight? No.
Jody Sweetin
And if the number has gone up on the scale, it's because of the voluma. It's because of the sculptra.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, okay. I feel better. And the dry cleaning.
Jody Sweetin
And of course, dry cleaning shrinks clothes exponentially.
Doug Buden
The problem is.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Thank you. I feel better.
Doug Buden
The problem is you are shrinking, so you will have to get those pants taken up anyway.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh. So I've got three pairs of pants there right now. Emergency. Trying to get them by that.
Doug Buden
Is he gonna get them done? This is a great tailor on Melrose, right down the block here.
Jeff Lewis
Good to know.
Doug Buden
I mean, he's expensive, though.
Jeff Lewis
Never mind.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
After I tried on two, I got so depressed. I'm like, I'm not trying on any more suits. There's no way. There's just no way. But I'm on a juice cleanse now, and I've lost £4.
Jody Sweetin
As of when?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Since I got home.
Jody Sweetin
Since we ate lunch yesterday. When did you start?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Why are you such a hater?
Jameson
Put the sandwich in a blender, turn into ju.
Jeff Lewis
He's with you every meal.
Jody Sweetin
We had lunch.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
All right, first of all, let me explain. I did not have breakfast. Yes, I had half that pastry downstairs, but that doesn't count. And then we went.
Jameson
Wait, wait, wait. So you didn't eat at the brunch that you were upset you didn't get.
Doug Buden
And you took food to go, by.
Jody Sweetin
The way, he did. Like you ate.
Doug Buden
Stop lying right now.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I had half the Danish.
Jody Sweetin
And the Danish was literally, like, comically large. It was like. It was, like, huge.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay, so it was like one Danish like you ate, but I had half of it. So it was like one Danish. Because it was probably two.
Jody Sweetin
I agree.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay, so I had one Danish. Okay, fine.
Jody Sweetin
Half of a double Danish.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Fine. I had one Danish. We'll call it one Danish.
Jody Sweetin
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Then we went to sushi, and I ate very light.
Doug Buden
But you ate.
Jody Sweetin
So you had soup, edamame, two spicy tuna rolls, and one big hand crab roll.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
That's light for me.
Jody Sweetin
Very light.
Doug Buden
You are a Peppa Pig right now. You haven't had breakfast.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I had juice for dinner.
Jody Sweetin
After we split the Meredith Mark's caviar.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yes, but that was just a few bites.
Jeff Lewis
So we got that open finally. Or they sent you a new one.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
We got a new one. We got it open. Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
Just curious.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
That one opened right up, no problem.
Jody Sweetin
And we split it.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It's good caviar, actually.
Jody Sweetin
Shout out. Meredith.
Doug Buden
That was the fancier one, right? Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yeah, but I think. I don't know what happened, but I didn't have dinner, and I had the juice for dinner, so that. Maybe that's why I'm only 194 today. Yeah, but I think I'm gonna need to lose a few more pounds by Saturday to fit in those pants.
Jeff Lewis
I say just enjoy yourself.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I would enjoy myself if I could fit in my pants.
Jameson
Kirby, you know what they say?
Jeff Lewis
Trying to be supportive?
Jameson
They say love weighs 15 pounds. Ever heard that saying?
Doug Buden
No, I haven't.
Jameson
Yeah, it means when you're in love, you gain weight.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So what do I wear? Like, stretchy pants? Like, you're. Sorry. So if I'm going to wear. Let's say if the jacket fits. Okay, so if I'm wearing the jacket, but I don't fit in the pants. What would you suggest for pants?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, like slacks that maybe have some elastic that nobody has about palazzo pants. Nobody has to know about that elastic part.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You can wear an elastic waist.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, exactly. But slack so that they still look carompet.
Doug Buden
That's what it's called. Carabant.
Jeff Lewis
Don't do that.
Doug Buden
I think Pola2 once said a good jacket can hide a multitude of sins. Make the jacket flashier. People will only look at the jacket.
Jody Sweetin
And not look at the color coat.
Jeff Lewis
Oh my God. Yeah.
Jameson
No, but are you going to be uncomfortable? You don't want to be like yes.
Doug Buden
Then you're in a.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
That's why he's trying to let them out right now.
Jameson
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I mean, there's still fabric there. Thank God.
Jameson
Someone is going to split their pants this weekend.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I know. I almost did yesterday trying it on. I know it.
Jeff Lewis
I cannot wait to hear all the stories from. From this weekend you guys are going to have. It's going to be crazy.
Jameson
My pants are debauchery Saturday. So it could be me too.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
What?
Jameson
Yeah, they're tight.
Doug Buden
Oh, is it. Those gain weight too.
Jameson
No, no, no. They're going. They're like a skinny pair of pants.
Jeff Lewis
They're supposed to be tight.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, see, mine are not supposed to be tight. That's not. Yeah, no, that's not.
Doug Buden
These pants are a sausage casing.

Doug is our self appointed showrunner.

Oh, yeah. I got to see the.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
He actually has been a great help.
Jeff Lewis
He's been working hard.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
He's got a whole little sheets of stuff now. I just want to call out. I have been sick since Monday. I have been blowing my nose, I've been coughing. I've had the chills and no one seems to give a fuck about me. And then Shane, just a few minutes ago. Oh, I'm not. I think I'm coming down with something. You would not believe how much sympathy and support and help he just got in. Four minutes, literally six people. You've got to take this. Oh, let me get you this. Do you want some water? Do you want some clean. Has anyone. Can you. Can you acknowledge that I'm the one that's actually sick?
Doug Buden
Feel bad, but. Shane, how are you feeling?
Jody Sweetin
I don't know. I just sneeze. I'm nervous and I'm so cold. It's freezing.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I just couldn't believe it how everyone rallied around you.
Doug Buden
Why do you think that is? What do you think? If you had to come up with a guess, what would it be?
Jody Sweetin
Look inward. What have you learned about yourself?
Doug Buden
Thank you.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
I will say, and this was not a joke. I don't know what season of flipping out it was, but I was having what I thought was a heart attack. But it turned out to be some sort of panic. It turned out to be some sort of panic attack. But I was having trouble breathing. And Zoila and Jenny just stood there. I thought I was having a heart attack. And they just stood there and did nothing. And that's. This is what this reminded me of.
Jody Sweetin
You're always sick.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Okay.
Jody Sweetin
It's just kind of like I'M not.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
The boy that cries wolves.
Jody Sweetin
What are we supposed to do? No, but you're always. I believe that you're sick, but you're always sick.
Jameson
I also think you came in Monday and we're like, okay, well, he'll be fine for this weekend. But if Shane gets sick now, that means he's sick for this weekend, right?
Jeff Lewis
It's about time.
Jameson
I'm still sick and infecting all of us. I'm still sick as we radio. Yeah. I don't want to be sick.
Doug Buden
I don't want to be sick.
Jameson
I absolutely do not want to. And everyone in the office is sneezing. Have we learned nothing from the last X amount of years?
Doug Buden
Kirby can't get sick.
Jeff Lewis
I don't really have anything going on.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
For next week.
Jeff Lewis
I'm not going to Trump Con. I can. I'm good. I'm good.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You still working at the hotel?
Jeff Lewis
No, actually.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
What happened?
Jeff Lewis
I know it's only been a month. Don't judge me.
Jody Sweetin
You quit.
Doug Buden
Too late.
Jeff Lewis
What happened?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
You lost that job, too.
Jeff Lewis
Let me finish. I left because I was around drinking too much, and I didn't want to be around it. There was a lot of events, and it almost turned into. The lobby turns into a nightlife club every single night when they have live music. And I was just around too many drunk people, and I couldn't handle it. I can handle it.
Jody Sweetin
So I'm not coming to Chump Con.
Doug Buden
That's why she works in a bar, probably.
Jeff Lewis
No, I don't. I'm looking. Looking for a job, but that's why we need to get. We need to get acting jobs. But no, the. Yeah, it's a bummer. It's a bummer. I was, like, really hoping you wouldn't bring it up, actually. But, like, I don't know why, like, you're so good at that. Like, knowing the. Right.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Calling out people, embarrassing them.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, because it's good for you.
Doug Buden
Then it's great that you were able to recognize it before. Before something bad happened.
Jeff Lewis
Agreed. Didn't relapse, so that's good. But. Yeah, exactly. Knock on. I'm not gonna. I'm a pro.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Well, that sounds like a fun job. Are there any app, like an application?
Jody Sweetin
Sounds like there's an opening.
Jeff Lewis
Absolutely.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And availability. I think you're a little busy, though.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Do you get to, like. Would I be able to get to drink if I work there?
Jeff Lewis
No. See, that's the other thing, too. Yeah, they were very strict about people not drinking while. While they're. While they're there. I just, like, sloppy drunk. And I am just, like, gives me anxiety only when I'm in there, like, under high pressure. Like, I. When I'm working, if I was just hanging out, like, getting to enjoy myself, and everyone was drinking, I'd be like, wow, they're looking dumb. But, like, I was, like, under a lot of pressure. It was like. So, yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Were you under pressure because you had to deal with people like me? Unruly, hysterical, A bit unhinged.
Jeff Lewis
I'm really glad that you got the.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Nanas back demanding justice for me.
Jeff Lewis
I asked, like, before we even sat down in there. I'm like, is there an Update about the NA NA's?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Well, they haven't arrived yet, but they're on their way.
Jeff Lewis
All right, again, how many times have we knocked on this wood now? Doug.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yeah. Have you ever had to deal with someone like me?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I've. I've had to deal with my. My mom's a bit of a Karen. Like, learn from the best. Like, when we go to hotels.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So you're calling me a Karen?
Jeff Lewis
No.
Jody Sweetin
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Adjacent.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So used to dealing. What's the male Karen Kent?
Jody Sweetin
Jeff Lewis.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Jeff. Okay.
Jeff Lewis
No, but I do understand how important those are. I get why that would be stressful. I do.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Did you ever feel like you would deal with a lot of complaints at the hotel? Right.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Any of them, like, insane that you thought, this is ridiculous or. No. Did you feel like they're justified?
Jameson
No.
Jeff Lewis
Most of the time, it's justified. I do remember one time, like, with my mom, when she complained we went to a hotel and there were extensions left in the room. Like, somebody's hair. Yeah. And she complained, which is fair because that's, like, someone else's hair. But we got the best suite after that. I swear to God.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
They upgraded you?
Jeff Lewis
Yes. And then, like, there would be times where we'd go to hotels when it was just me and her traveling together. And if, like, the. The front desk said our, like, room number out loud.
Doug Buden
Oh, you can't do that.
Jeff Lewis
Exactly, by the way. You cannot do that. You have to point to it, because she'd be like, my daughter and I are traveling alone. That is a safety issue. Blah, blah, blah. So then get this. I did a staycation at the Mondrian, like, semi recently, and they did that. They said my hotel number out loud. And, like, this guy did kind of overhear it, and, like, was like, oh, but I hold what room you're. And, like, I was like, oh, my God, am I gonna pull a Karen and be My mother and I did, and they gave me some discounts. Not gonna lie.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
They did.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Doug Buden
Yeah.
Jody Sweetin
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, because it is a safety issue.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
So what we should do is we should try to bait these people into safety.
Jameson
I can't hear you.
Doug Buden
What was my room?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yeah, we should bait them into saying it.
Jeff Lewis
I'm starting trouble.
Doug Buden
What room? Shane, where's my hair? I packed extra hair. Leave it on.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Well, that's the other thing we should plant. Herrick's gonna believe me.
Doug Buden
I'm gonna put Herrick's in my room. Well, actually, no, it's perfect. Cause they would know it couldn't come from me.
Jeff Lewis
That's true.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Right, Right. That's true. And you would say, why would I ever do that? I'm bald. Well, not bald, but, you know, that's crazy.
Jeff Lewis
Fat fuck.
Doug Buden
At least that fit into my pants.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Ouch.
Jody Sweetin
Ouch.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Now, Kian called me out when we were cross streaming in the restroom. He said, actually, Jeff, you didn't volunteer the information that you couldn't fit in the pants. And I now recall what happened. Keyan.
Doug Buden
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Your stylist was leaving and she kind of threw you under the bus a little bit. So I was in the office. She came down.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, she came down.
Jameson
And she's like, all right, I'll see you later, Jeff.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It's a shame that they won't fit because. Oh. And then she stops talking and then.
Jameson
Jeff goes, beet red. Damn.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
And then looks at all of us. And then they three pounced. And they pounced. They were waiting.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, she was.
Jody Sweetin
She felt bad about that.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Or maybe it was intentional.
Jody Sweetin
Yeah.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Oh, she's shaming me publicly. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Maybe you said something nasty to her.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, but I mean, it probably makes her job more difficult when I fluctuate like the way I do. Yeah, yeah.
Jameson
But she's like, stop pumping up that ass.
Doug Buden
Does she make money based on how many. How much clothing she purchases? She'd want to purchase a lot of clothes for you. All the different sizes.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
Yeah, but what a pain in the ass that she does a poll for me and then nothing fits. Right. But also, I gained 10 pounds and didn't tell her.
Doug Buden
Right.
Jameson
194 is not that bad for you.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, 194 is good. But that was after the juice cleanse yesterday.
Jameson
The juice cleanse?
Jeff Lewis
The juice cleanse with the Danish and the sushi.
Doug Buden
He had a glass of juice. The juice to wash down his glass.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
That's a lot cleaner as your beverage.
Doug Buden
Give me the sushi, but I'll have some clear juice. To drink it with. What are you. It's ridiculous.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
No, I use supplemented my dinner.
Doug Buden
Right?
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It was a dinner. It was a meal supplement.
Jameson
A shake for morning, a shake for lunch.
Kirby Bliss Blanton
It's a Danish sensible dinner. Sush caviar and then the juice. And juice, yeah, but otherwise I did pretty. Oh, I had that pudding too. Thanks for listening.
