I mean, you guys really start some shit.
Jeff Lewis
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as an asshole. I just want people to do their jobs.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Jeff Lewis has issues.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Hey, it's Jeff Lewis and I have issues.
Jeff Lewis
In today's episode, Raven, Simone, Miranda, Pearman Mayday joined the show. We talk about multi hyphenate names, parking.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
And the return of my owls.
Jeff Lewis
I'm here with Raven, Simone and Miranda Madae as well as Shane Douglas Pearlman Maday.
Unknown
Thank you. My proper name.
Raven-Symoné
I'm gonna come for you automatically.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I was gonna say I'm gonna come.
Raven-Symoné
For you too, Mayday and Pearman.
Jeff Lewis
I just, I think after the first hyphen you gotta stop.
Raven-Symoné
No, not at all. I'm gonna keep hyphenating until the days.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Raven is hyphen obsessed. I just wanted to say Miranda Mayday. And I was my last name. We don't have to do Peerman. But then she was like, no, I want to keep Pyramid. And the world doesn't know that that is Raven's last name. I was not born Pyramid Mayday. The world thinks I'm a Pyramid Mayday. I was just Miranda Mayday. And now I am Miranda Pyramid Mayday.
Jeff Lewis
So if that's what you wanted, why you just. You did it to make her happy.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah, because I feel like 50, 50, 50, 50.
Jeff Lewis
And then you in turn got that seven carat diamond.
Raven-Symoné
Period.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Correct.
Raven-Symoné
Compromise.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
That can be the narrative. We go with today though. That's fine. Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Which, so I was Here around, I think 8:30 for the pre interview. And Miranda and I spoke for 30 minutes. I know nothing about Raven. Absolutely nothing. But what I do know is I know all about hair care. I know about skincare. Yeah. I know about bags, rings. Yeah, the rings.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You're my new best friend. I love it.
Jeff Lewis
Sorry, Raven.
Raven-Symoné
You guys spoke a language I didn't understand. And I loved it for her because, you know, in this industry, a lot of people just kind of look over the spouse. And I appreciate you validating her and her space and who she is as a person. And it made me very happy to see.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I mean, who knew we bonded over Dr. Groot?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Who knew? Yeah. We both use it.
Jeff Lewis
How did that come up? Because, oh, I had mentioned all the live reads I was doing today And I said Dr. Groot. And you said, I've been using Dr. Groot. And then I've spoke to you about all these great experiences I've been having with it.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah. Because I'm losing my hair.
Jeff Lewis
Why do you think you're losing. Well, first of all, it doesn't look like you're losing hair, but why do you think you're losing it?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Well, I think honestly, it's female pattern baldness. Yeah.
Unknown
Is that a thing?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It is a thing.
Raven-Symoné
It's a thing.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It's a thing. And I think that for the longest time I thought it was maybe diet or nutrition based or stress, but I did all the testing, all the things, and then my little sister started to have the same issue. And I was like, okay, this is genetic.
Jeff Lewis
You're so young. Or you just look young.
Raven-Symoné
She is young.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I'm 37.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
You look great.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Thanks.
Raven-Symoné
So I use all the creams and lotions.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, really? And do you use all the creams and lotions as well?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I use absolutely not a damn thing.
Raven-Symoné
Not a f. Cking thing.
Jeff Lewis
Are you serious?
Raven-Symoné
I barely wash my face twice a week.
Jeff Lewis
But who did your makeup today? Cause it looks good.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
She's. Oh my God.
Raven-Symoné
I have no makeup on.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Raven-Symoné
I'm black.
Jeff Lewis
You're black.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
She just got a little bit of a tan while we were.
Jeff Lewis
Wait, are you serious? You have no makeup on?
Raven-Symoné
Not a stitch. I stopped wearing makeup when I woke up at Covid and said, I'm done at Covid. I'm done with this shit.
Jeff Lewis
I thought you. What? You've got great skin.
Raven-Symoné
Thank you. Thank you so much. My grandmother had flawless skin too. She used oil of ole and dove. But I woke up one day, I remember I used to live with a whole bunch of Guys, and they didn't do anything. They had great skin, they had great hair, and I was just like, I'm gonna stop. I used everything from proactive to not. Adderall. What's the Accutane? Accutane. And as soon as I stopped using Adderall. Well, as soon as I stopped using everything, my skin just got better.
Jeff Lewis
Now, do you have any sort of lip tint on or anything like that?
Raven-Symoné
No, this is natural.
Jeff Lewis
That's insane.
Raven-Symoné
She's so Joe.
Jeff Lewis
So do you not drink?
Raven-Symoné
I did. Not anymore.
Jeff Lewis
That's why you probably look so good.
Raven-Symoné
Well, I'm black.
Jeff Lewis
When did you. When did you stop drinking?
Raven-Symoné
I stopped drinking. When did I stop drinking?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I mean, you still have.
Raven-Symoné
No. When did I stop drinking?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Probably five years.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah. @ least I have, like, a glass of wine. That's expensive. Every now and then.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Raven-Symoné
But I, like, used to. I used to, like, down 7 Jagermeister.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
But you know what? Even. Oh, fireball.
Raven-Symoné
I've been in Hollywood for a while. It does things to you, you know what I mean?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Even in 2015, though, when we first met, you weren't really drinking. Drinking. I've never seen you. You drank, like, at your 30th birthday.
Raven-Symoné
I was drunk AF at my 30th birthday.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I know it was atrocious, but is it?
Jeff Lewis
Everybody drunk AF at their 30th birthday.
Unknown
I will be.
Jeff Lewis
I won't be.
Unknown
I'm gearing up right now.
Jeff Lewis
Where did you meet?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
We met at a karaoke night in West Hollywood in 2015. The Dream Raven was hosting and a.
Raven-Symoné
Drag karaoke show of all things.
Jeff Lewis
Really? Where was it?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It's no longer what it was. It was 11 back then, but now I don't know what it's called.
Raven-Symoné
It's just not.
Unknown
It was then Flaming Saddles. Now it's been sitting empty since COVID Ex.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah, exactly.
Unknown
I lost my BlackBerry Pearl at 11.
Raven-Symoné
That's how I remember. Not the pearl.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Not the pearl. Oh, my gosh. But yeah, we met there and we ended up talking and she invited me to a house party because she was moving to New York City to go do the View. And she was like, I'm having this massive rager come. And I said, well, if I'm coming, I need to have, like, a one on one date with you before I just come to your house party. I need to get to know you a little bit because I felt like I was. We connected.
Raven-Symoné
She wasn't wearing a bag then, though. There was like, no bag.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. You got duped. We're Gonna talk. We're gonna talk about this.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I actually did have a bag. I remember exactly.
Raven-Symoné
What bag was it?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It was my little. I had a little Prada sat. Like a little ting, ting, ting, ting.
Raven-Symoné
The little ting, ting.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
A little ting, ting.
Jeff Lewis
So since then, though, Miranda is. She's now building her jewelry collection. Her bag collection.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Which is smart. But you didn't realize. You thought, oh, this is this beautiful, unmaterialistic woman.
Raven-Symoné
And now I thought I was the one, because I'm like the Gucci. I'm like, I. I buy the clothes. I stopped my bag air and my shoe error. When I kind of went into my masculine phase and I stopped buying, I had every YSL you could possibly imagine. And so when she did, I'm like, well, all right.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
And then had every Christian Louis Vuitton.
Raven-Symoné
Oh, did you guys watch?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
That's a. That's an inside joke. Because that's what Gypsy Rose called. Christian Louboutins. She merges the two.
Raven-Symoné
Christian Louboutins.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Christian Louis Vuitton. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I was telling you, you said that you've done a lot of PRP. I mean, I jump around. I have severe ADD.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I love it.
Jeff Lewis
So you did a lot of PRP.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Treatments for your hair?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah, like 10.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. But what you were missing, which we've figured that out during the pre interview, is that you're not doing the stem cells.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Right.
Jeff Lewis
You've got to add the stem cells.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Have you done the stem cells on your face?
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Not yet.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Because I really want to do that, but I'm scared. I want to do the same.
Jeff Lewis
Why are you laughing, kid? I would. Why are you laughing?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It's.
Jeff Lewis
It's.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I want to do the salmon sperm.
Raven-Symoné
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. There's a few people. What? What?
Raven-Symoné
What?
Jeff Lewis
There's a few.
Raven-Symoné
No sperm. I don't do that.
Jeff Lewis
There's a few people that have been on the show that have done the salmon sperm.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
And do they look.
Jeff Lewis
They swear by it. They swear by it.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I just am worried because it's supposed to be so painful. It's called Rejuron.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
And I mean, the people. Like, I know somebody. We have a friend who has an extremely high pay tolerance, has had many surgeries, and she was like, that was brutal. I'm like, why is it so painful? Like, it's just an injection. Like, it doesn't look any more inv. Invasive than, like, Botox or filler or whatever, but apparently it is. It is.
Raven-Symoné
I heard sperm can be painful at times.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I initially had started the PRP without any numbing and that was not. That was not.
Raven-Symoné
Why did you choose that?
Jeff Lewis
Well, I didn't think it was going to be that painful.
Raven-Symoné
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
And then we had to put a stop to it. And then now I use laughing gas. And what?
Unknown
And Xanax.
Jeff Lewis
And Xanax.
Raven-Symoné
Well, that should be bass. That should just start the day.
Unknown
So that's Tuesday. And then we move in.
Jeff Lewis
Now, I'm sure people know who you are, Raven, but Simone. I thought it was Simone. And everyone did.
Raven-Symoné
Exactly.
Jeff Lewis
You sure you didn't change it at one point?
Raven-Symoné
I swear for God I didn't change it. The accent has been over the E since the beginning of my career.
Jeff Lewis
But do you think just people just said Simone and you just went with it and you didn't correct anybody?
Raven-Symoné
Well, this is true. This is what I was. This is.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
So it's your fault.
Raven-Symoné
It is my fault. Well, actually it's my parents fault. You have to blame everything on your parents.
Jeff Lewis
Okay?
Raven-Symoné
Because that's how you live in a.
Jeff Lewis
That's what my brothers do.
Raven-Symoné
No, they just told me my name is Raven Simone. But they also explained what it meant and not to force anybody to say it the way that it was actually spelled, because, you know.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
So then why do we care now?
Raven-Symoné
Because it was a trend and everything on TikTok matters.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I see.
Raven-Symoné
If you put it on TikTok, it now becomes sanctified.
Unknown
And Jeff called me out yesterday saying that I had the whole wrong thing. But your first name is Raven Simone.
Raven-Symoné
Correct.
Unknown
Right.
Raven-Symoné
Because I'm a hyphening.
Unknown
Right.
Raven-Symoné
And my last name is Pyramid Mayday. Another hyphen, another hyphen. My. My initials are R. Hyphen. S. Period, R. Hm. P, Hyphen, M. Like that shit looks fire on my phone.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah, that's how she put it in our. In the. Her id. In the phone. So no one can now find her in their contacts because it's so many periods and hyphens, it's very confusing.
Jeff Lewis
Do you track each other's locations every day?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Oh, you do?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Of course.
Jeff Lewis
I've never done that. Maybe I should have though. Yeah, and I would have been out of the last relationship sooner, period. Right. So do you track?
Unknown
Yeah, I mean, we have a he. We don't really do it, but I mean, yeah, I have it if I need it.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah, I'll track it.
Jeff Lewis
So. I'm almost afraid to ask this, but.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
If you were to have a kid.
Jeff Lewis
How'S that name gonna work out? How many hyphens?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Well, to be honest with you, just the Other day we were talking about the pyramid and we were kind of saying maybe we go just down to the Mayday and if that was the world, then we would be one less name. And if we did have a kid, it would. They would just have to have one. Maybe we'd cut the middle name.
Jeff Lewis
I'm all for a shorter name, so. So we're thinking we're gonna.
Unknown
Let's come up with some more.
Jeff Lewis
Everyone knows you. I thought your last name was Simone.
Raven-Symoné
My entire name is Raven Simone Cristina Pearman Mayday. So I should live in like Spain or something? I have such a Spanish name.
Jeff Lewis
Just humor me for a second. So you have. Let's say you have a son.
Raven-Symoné
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And his name is Jameson.
Raven-Symoné
Jameson.
Jeff Lewis
Ugh.
Raven-Symoné
Love it.
Jeff Lewis
What are we doing? Are we doing Jameson Simone Pyramid?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
No. Cause the Simone is just part of her first name. So our Jameson would be like Jameson Charles Jameson middle name and then last name Pyramid Mayday. That's. That's it. The Simone is.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
But that's four names.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah, that's four names. And that means you can choose with whatever gender you want to. When you grow up and learn who you are, you can choose whatever name you want to from your whole entire.
Unknown
Raven Symone is like Mary Beth or Carrie Anne or Mary.
Jeff Lewis
No, I understand that now, but I didn't know that. So. So we were first introduced to you when you were on the Cosby show, right? Weren't you like three years old or something?
Raven-Symoné
I was three years old.
Jeff Lewis
And then you were on another show called hanging with Mr. Cooper. Was the Cosby Show. Like how many seasons did it go?
Raven-Symoné
Cosby show went a lot more seasons than I was on. I was only on it for the last three.
Jeff Lewis
Got it. And then you did the Cheetah Girls.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
And then you were on Broadway and then you did.
Jeff Lewis
You co hosted the View.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Was that two seasons? Two years.
Raven-Symoné
That was a blur. I had no idea.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
One year, One and one year.
Raven-Symoné
One and a half. Because I did a few before they signed me.
Jeff Lewis
Did you like New York?
Raven-Symoné
I love New York.
Jeff Lewis
Me too.
Raven-Symoné
I, We. We christened New York all up and down. It was a beautiful. We lived in Chelsea. I love walking. I actually bought property up there during that time. I have some property.
Jeff Lewis
We.
Raven-Symoné
We have some property on the lake up in the Catskills. And I think it's gorgeous when you leave the city. Like when you really go see what New York State looks like. It's magical.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
So. But you came back to LA for work.
Raven-Symoné
I came back to LA because I Have a house, we have work. And, you know, LA is what it was back then. It's different now. It is different.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You came back to la, though, after the View to reboot. That's so Raven.
Raven-Symoné
That's true.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
And she did Raven's Home.
Jeff Lewis
Raven's Home, which was six seasons.
Raven-Symoné
Six seasons.
Jeff Lewis
And now there is, from what I understand, you working on a pilot.
Raven-Symoné
I already finished it. It did not get picked up, but I was like, that's okay. Shit happens. I directed my first pilot. That's why I will never take that off because it's huge for a director and really appreciate the opportunity.
Jeff Lewis
Congrats. And then you also. Do you still currently host Scrabble?
Raven-Symoné
No. Oh, I love it. And I think that as an executive producer, as we move on to the next season, we're gonna do some great changes to make sure that.
Jeff Lewis
So you're an EP on it?
Raven-Symoné
I am an EP on it, yeah.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. So you hosted it for a season and now you're thinking of bringing it. Now I wanna know who it is, who you're. And then do you film? Cause I met with the Game Show. Is the Game Show Network.
Raven-Symoné
No, I was with. We were. Are at cw.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, that's pretty good. Because I had met with the Game Show Network and they said you go to Atlanta for like two months and you do like five or six shows a day.
Raven-Symoné
I went to London and we did six shows a day for three days. For the first season. I was.
Jeff Lewis
That's a lot of Red Bull, huh?
Raven-Symoné
Honey? That was a lot of color. That was just pure adrenaline there, for sure.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
A lot of caffeine.
Jeff Lewis
So now you just bought a new home.
Raven-Symoné
We just bought a new home. This is babes first. This is your first home that you bought.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown
Congratulations.
Jeff Lewis
Congrats.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Thanks, guys.
Jeff Lewis
So is it brand new? Is it something you have to do? Work?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Brand new. You should come and see it.
Jeff Lewis
I want to see it.
Raven-Symoné
I'll pull up a picture now.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It would be really cool for you to see it, actually. But it's brand new. We're the first people to live in it. Our contractor is a guy named Shlomi. He's very talented and the house is really beautiful. Before we even bought it, it had been published in, like, AD Italy many. Yes, many times. And you ain't got no service.
Jeff Lewis
There's no service in this studio.
Unknown
Connect to the guest Wi Fi.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Oh, I see it though.
Raven-Symoné
It's coming up.
Jeff Lewis
Raven, they spent millions and millions of dollars in. Oh, let me see that.
Raven-Symoné
Scroll it.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Really just has the most beautiful energy. It's so calming. You just feel like you're transported somewhere else.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, my God. I love the landscaping.
Raven-Symoné
Oh, you did such a good job.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
The landscaping is really great.
Jeff Lewis
And then now I lost another. I mean, I didn't lose it, but the WI fi. I want to look at it outside the studio.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Congrats.
Raven-Symoné
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
So you have owned. You've owned homes before, so you're aware of all of the work involved?
Raven-Symoné
Correct.
Jeff Lewis
I have a house I'm living in right now, which I actually really love while I redo my new house. However, we've had an owl problem, and it has been going on for how long now, Jameson?
Unknown
Years.
Jeff Lewis
We have done so much to get rid of these owls. So what happened was originally, the owls kill the crows. They eat the crows on my roof, and it's a flat roof. Then what they do is one day they dropped one of the dead crows onto the ground. My dog ate it. And then my dog got, like, very sick. Had to go to the vet, had to do antibiotics. Okay. So now we've been trying to keep the owls away, and Shane and I have gone to great lengths.
Raven-Symoné
Go ahead.
Unknown
I feel like that we've kept them at bay for, like, eight months.
Jeff Lewis
Well, we thought so how do you.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Keep the owl at bay?
Raven-Symoné
You just play Kendrick Lamar albums the whole time. That's all you have to do. Just put Kendrick Lamar on repeat and no owls will show up.
Jeff Lewis
What will happen if I play Raven, Simone?
Raven-Symoné
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing ever.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
They'll flop anywhere. It'll be like a bird. Another bird.
Jeff Lewis
So first we bought fake snakes and we put them all over the roof. But then we realized owls like snakes, so that was attracting the owls. Then we got an. We got an owl that moves, turns its head.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah.
Unknown
We got, like, little statues that kind of turn their heads, and they just kind of made friends with them, I feel like. And then we got blinking lights, and they just thought that was fun.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Oh, my God.
Raven-Symoné
So what do you think?
Jeff Lewis
We think it's a gay owl because he really loves those flashing lights and.
Unknown
The music and the statues. Like, it's.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You should give him some poppers and.
Jeff Lewis
Then.
Unknown
Fall right out of the sky.
Jeff Lewis
So we've had a few crows basically killed on the roof. And then recently I had one was stuck in the rain gutter, so I had to pay the rain gutter company to come out. That cost me $600. That was, what, three months ago?
Unknown
Yeah, but they cleaned all the gutters, so it was a good deal.
Jeff Lewis
So then the roofer came over yesterday to do some minor maintenance. Sure enough reported another dead crow on the roof. So now he's going today and while he's working on the roof, he's going to remove the dead crow. But I told Shane last night I.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Finally fucking had it.
Jeff Lewis
We've got to figure this out.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah, you do.
Jeff Lewis
We have to get rid of these owls.
Raven-Symoné
How does one do that?
Jeff Lewis
I don't know.
Unknown
I don't know.
Jeff Lewis
I need an owl expert.
Raven-Symoné
Google didn't tell you?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Huh?
Unknown
Google said the lights and the statues and the snakes, like I feel like we've done all of like the low lift stuff now. I feel like it's time for something. I don't know what to do.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You need an owl expert.
Raven-Symoné
Do you just embrace it though? Like sometimes when you embrace the problem, it goes away.
Unknown
Let's make an owl sanctuary.
Raven-Symoné
You know what I mean? Just like just let them have it.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
A Jeff Lewis owl sanctuary. I like it.
Jeff Lewis
I'm just worried another crow is going to fall on the ground and my dog's going to. That's crazy. That's the only. I mean I literally woke up last night a nightmare. Worried about that again. So we just. I've gotta. I don't know if there's any outlets.
Raven-Symoné
What if you cut the tree down?
Jeff Lewis
No, there's no tree. They're going on the roof. That's where they eat them, they kill them and then they bring them to my roof. Not anyone else's roof.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
My roof.
Jeff Lewis
And then what happened today by the way? Also when you talk about homeownership.
Unknown
Oh, someone was parked in front of your driveway.
Jeff Lewis
Just fucking blocked my gate.
Raven-Symoné
I hate it when people park in front of the gate. I came home one time at our old place. It was two o' clock in the morning and this bitch was in front of my gate. I called the cops. They didn't come. Cause we were in the hood at the time. I literally stood out there and I was honking the horn. I called the next door neighbors. I was about to lift that car. My wife.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You were so much calmer than you were telling. I was someone who was.
Raven-Symoné
I didn't say that.
Jeff Lewis
You're triggered. Me too.
Raven-Symoné
I'm triggered now. I was calm down then because I had to.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You were. I was literally trying to move the car myself.
Raven-Symoné
She wrote a letter and everything.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I did.
Raven-Symoné
And then thank goodness. There was like. This is weird, I shouldn't have said thank goodness, but kind of thank goodness. There was like a domestic dispute up the street. The cop came and I Was like, knock, knock, I have a problem.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
And they got a tow truck.
Raven-Symoné
But I had to stay calm in that moment because if I didn't, I couldn't do anything. So why get answered?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
We literally could not get inside.
Raven-Symoné
Oh, my God.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It was horrible.
Raven-Symoné
It's disrespectful. That's what it is.
Jeff Lewis
It's a black Range Rover. I've never seen it before.
Raven-Symoné
What's the license plate? Call him out.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know whose it is. I mean, I'm telling you, half my driveway, literally, and my gate is blocked. So I had to pull my car out of the gate, then turn right, drive over the sidewalk, and luckily it's suv. But then I ran over my neighbor's lawn, and now I'm worried I broke a sprinkler.
Raven-Symoné
Mm.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Well, that black. I mean, that black range of us to pay for it.
Raven-Symoné
You know what that is? That's a key. That's a key to the side of the car.
Jeff Lewis
I thought about it, but that's just bad car.
Raven-Symoné
I'll do it for you.
Jeff Lewis
Really?
Raven-Symoné
Carrie Underwood would, too?
Jeff Lewis
I wish I was. This morning, I'm like, I wish I had a shitty car so I could just hit it.
Raven-Symoné
Hit it, buy it, and then give it away. Just do it.
Jeff Lewis
Buy like, oh, you know what? I regret not buying your old car.
Unknown
I was driving a 2005 Hyundai Elantra until last month. I got a new.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Let him.
Jeff Lewis
He sold it for $500. For $500, you could. Why did I not buy it?
Unknown
It was a trade in, by the way, this man, the Labubus, were more than coals for this car. I would have never given it to you just to spite you.
Jeff Lewis
But I could use it to run into other cars.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You could have.
Unknown
I thought about that once. I was. I was tandem. But someone locked me in, and I thought I should just back into this car. I don't give a shit about my car. I should just blow this car through like Kathy Bates and Fried Green Tomatoes, but I didn't.
Jeff Lewis
You could just drive right through that.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Crossing guard thing down.
Jeff Lewis
I don't give a shit. Fuck it.
Unknown
Yeah.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Baseball bat. There used to be this story about Clint Eastwood. And I knew this because my dad worked at Warner Brothers, and this could be lore or fact, I'm not sure. But apparently somebody blocked Clint Eastwood in. And one day Clint Eastwood came out of his bungalow just swinging a bat, and he walked right up to the car that was blocking him and just bashed mirror, mirror.
Jeff Lewis
So you can do that when you're Clint Eastwood or Raven Simone. But Jeff Lewis cannot do that.
Unknown
If you did that, I'd be arrested.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Raven would get arrested.
Raven-Symoné
Oh, I'm. Well, I'm black.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I couldn't say that part. But I said I set you up for it.
Raven-Symoné
That's why we're married.
Unknown
Going back to Owl's question, do you think it has to do with the. He has, like, a patio on the roof. Do you think it's the flat roof they love?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
That's.
Jeff Lewis
The deck.
Unknown
Has a view of the Hollywood sign. They want to hang out up there.
Jeff Lewis
It's so nice up there with that rooftop deck. I don't blame him.
Unknown
There's a gas station.
It seems like if you had, like, a pitched roof.
Jeff Lewis
There's a TV up there.
Unknown
Besides the amenities, do you think it's the flat nature of the roof?
Jeff Lewis
I think it has something to do with it. I think that's why they've called my home their home. Raven Simone, let me ask you this. So I can't. In my new house, the hpoz of Hancock park will not let me put gates in. And now I'm worried about people just going right up to my front door.
Unknown
Owls.
Raven-Symoné
So exactly.
Jeff Lewis
I thought about. Now. I looked into private security, but it's a joke.
Raven-Symoné
It's ridiculous.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Stupid.
Raven-Symoné
It is.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
What if I bought an old police.
Jeff Lewis
Car for, like, 500 bucks?
Raven-Symoné
Yeah.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Parked it outside.
Jeff Lewis
Parked it outside and put a dummy. We could do tinted windows and put, like, a dummy in there.
Unknown
A mannequin.
Jeff Lewis
A mannequin.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
HBOZ is no joke. Do you remember when Ellen and Portia bought their house in Hancock Park? I grew up in Hancock park and that. Yes.
Jeff Lewis
What street?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Norton. And that whole situation. The gate and then the. The trees, the landscaping. They got a lot of shit for it. I think it's kind of why they were like, bye. That. That corner house. You know what I'm talking about?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I know exactly which house. They spent probably a million dollars landscaping that front yard.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Easy. Yeah. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
It's insane.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But they. But that wall's short.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I know, but they had a lot of issues. There was. I think it was the gate into the driveway. They were mad about. Hpoz. Hpoz is.
Jeff Lewis
It's no joke. But I will say, like, when I drive through my neighborhood, the current neighborhood I'm living in, everything is gated.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Everything is hedged.
Jeff Lewis
You can't even see the houses. It's kind of nice going through Hancock park and actually being able to see the houses.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah, I agree.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I love that. But as long as everyone Else's house we can see, but mine don't want to see. I need a wall and a gate.
Raven-Symoné
Or the cop car and like an AI video playing in the cop car of a cop. Like always just going like this and then going down. You could like project something hilarious in Halloween.
Jeff Lewis
We should do. I should take Raven over to my house. I'll take a baseball bat to the Range Rover. We'll call the police. I'll say she did it and they'll just arrest her.
Raven-Symoné
This is very dangerous, Jeff.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
And I'll just be the white wife with her diamonds in her bag saying, I don't know what happened.
Raven-Symoné
You guys, this plan, I don't know.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
How I feel about it. We put up an insane gate, Jeff. Oh, Jeff, very. When we bought our house, it did not have a gate. And we were like, we need this. We. We securities the shit out of our house. But the gate is wild. It looks like. I say we look like we now live in a shark conservatory because the spikes that Raven wanted on our gate are so sharp.
Jeff Lewis
That's what I worry. I worry about cats. Neighborhood cats. I've been wanting to do the spikes, but I never could do it.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
We've done it and we've had no cats so far.
Jeff Lewis
I just don't want to wake up at 2am and have to remove a cat from a spike.
Raven-Symoné
But let me. But let me tell you what did happen. The spike. Spike does not deter the crows in our neighborhood. The crows just sit on top of those spikes like they.
Jeff Lewis
They own it.
Raven-Symoné
Own it.
Jeff Lewis
Yep, they sure do.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It's like they have feet that just don't.
Raven-Symoné
They don't feel shaped.
Jeff Lewis
They're like rats with wings.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
They are literally.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Chris from Arizona thinks I have bad karma.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Line three.
Jeff Lewis
Hi, Chris. You just figuring this out?
Unknown
Yeah. No, no. And I have long time fan shout out. Shane. Like I don't call in, but I literally just had a conversation with a friend of mine who's from Kenya who told me she's moving into a new house, owls are in the neighborhood. And she is like, no, Chris, owls are bad, bad, bad, bad. She did a purification of her house with salt and also the gates of her neighborhood to try to get the owls to leave. And she is reporting that she doesn't hear any sounds of owls in the neighborhood. But she was very adamant that any owls. Any crows, Any black. The birds in the neighborhood.
Raven-Symoné
No.
Unknown
And I just. That is not true. And what I'm saying here. But however she was. I was like owls, really? And she was adamant with me.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
So.
Raven-Symoné
So it's salt. We need to put salt.
Unknown
We need a clear salt for purification.
Jeff Lewis
Wait, are you saying my karma, my bad karma, is what's drawing the owls?
Unknown
You brought karma to this conversation? Jeff, I love you. Honestly, like, and I want to say your design style is what really hooked me to be a fan originally, but I have really been a fan forever, so no bad karma with me. But I just wish you the best. And I look into it. I get. Could it hurt? Like, you know, it's your house, it's your kid.
She's not saying you're a bad person, but clearly you're a bad person because there's owl.
Jeff Lewis
She really is skirting the issue.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
She's totally gaslighting.
Raven-Symoné
If you need a clearing, I do clearings.
Unknown
Shout out, Jane. And you didn't even.
Raven-Symoné
Shout out.
Unknown
Shout out.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, well, Chris, if it is true that owls are attracted to bad karma.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Wouldn'T I have more owls?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I don't think that's true at all. I think owls are actually really kind of sacred and special. I think the fact that you have owls flocking to you or your flat roof just mean that, you know, they're wise. Yeah, they're wise.
Raven-Symoné
They're wise, but they're also connected to secret societies. And the crows are actually. If they're eating the crows, that means death is not a. Not something that's imminent in your life, because crows actually circle for that, represent that. And so do ravens, obviously, but crows are the wisest one as well. If she's talking about a clearing and you need it in the spiritual fashion, then that's more fire and, like, sage and copal instead of, like, assaults. Unless you put the salt around your perimeter and prevent them from coming in. I don't know.
Jeff Lewis
You are so articulate that you could be totally bullshitting me right now. And I am buying every. Everything you're selling.
Unknown
The way that you say it, I am right.
Raven-Symoné
Do you believe I'm invested?
Unknown
I'm invest.
Raven-Symoné
I'm a baby witch. We'll talk about it later.
Unknown
I think that was right.
Jeff Lewis
But you know what? Now that. You know what? I'm taking another look at this. I'm reframing, because maybe that Alice. Protecting us against those nasty, dirty crows.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah, they're killing the crows. There's a lot of things going on in the world right now. A lot of deaths. A lot of deaths. A lot of weird. Don't trust me. Don't do it. I mean, that's interesting. I'll look it up for you.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Also think of the owls in Harry Potter. They're like, very special.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
I don't remember.
Jeff Lewis
Let me ask that nerd over there. Are they?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You don't want to bring up nerdy stuff around Jeff. He'll make fun of you for sure.
Jeff Lewis
Do you see the connection in the Harry Potter owls?
Raven-Symoné
No.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Cause Harry Potter is science fiction and this is real life. There's a difference.
Jeff Lewis
Is there really you who goes to Disneyland every weekend?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Well. Oh, you're a Disney adult.
Jeff Lewis
He is.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Oh, man, I apologize. I'm sorry for that. We're judging you.
Jeff Lewis
What do you think of Disney adults, Raven? Cause, you know, you worked with Disney for, you know, a little bit.
Raven-Symoné
Disney adults are an interesting subculture.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Are a Disney.
Raven-Symoné
No, no, no, I'm not. I'm literally not.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
But you literally are a Disney. Not in the.
Jeff Lewis
Did the season pass?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
No, no, no, no. But I mean, you go. You're like an adult.
Unknown
You're an icon of Disney.
Raven-Symoné
Yes, yes, but there are differences. I do not wake up and wish that my wedding was at the Cinderella Castle at Disney. I do not go to Disneyland.
Unknown
Why not?
Raven-Symoné
Why not? I do not go to Disneyland and celebrate every party. You know what I mean? I'm more of a Matrix. I'm more of like a Dante's Inferno type person. So the joy that Disney creates is saccharine. Sweet to me. And I don't wanna get diagnosed.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
We've never been to Disneyland together.
Raven-Symoné
I'm offended the deepness.
Jeff Lewis
But I bet those Disney adults probably.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Are into you, right?
Raven-Symoné
I hope so.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, so you're fan.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I love Raven so much. I grew up watching your show. Thank you for being a huge part of my childhood.
Jeff Lewis
And did you say Simone or Simone?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I said Simone.
Jeff Lewis
Yep. I knew it.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I'm sorry. Everyone said Simone though. And I have to tell you, I even talked to my mother in law about this and she was like, I just thought the E, the accent above the E looked cute. She said Raven's name is Raven Simone. But then Raven is like. But if you have an accent there, the way to actually pronounce it is.
Jeff Lewis
She made it sound like her parents, like, intended for us to say Simone.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
No, I don't think they did.
Raven-Symoné
No, they put the. My mom told her that she put the accent because it just looks good.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It does look cute.
Raven-Symoné
It looks cute.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
It looks rich.
Raven-Symoné
But the problem is it does look rich. But the problem is you then changed the pronunciation of my name. Because that's English class. French class.
Jeff Lewis
You're too literal.
Raven-Symoné
Too literal.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Exactly.
Jeff Lewis
Does she drive you crazy with this?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah. Cause I'm like that. Yeah. See a little bit of the gray zone. It is. It's hard.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah, it might be.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It's like the enye over Mignana. You know, it's like, so what am.
Raven-Symoné
I supposed to say if it's not Mignana manana, manana. But I'm saying, na na na na.

Hi, Danny. Hi, Danny.
Jeff Lewis
Hi.
Unknown
Shout out, Jane. Oh, my gosh. I'm so excited. Okay, so, Raven, do you remember that episode of that's so Raven where you give the dude the answers and you're like, I got a C. I got an A. I got a bcd. Do you remember that?
Raven-Symoné
Vaguely, sweetheart.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Vaguely.
Unknown
Okay, so I grew up with you, and I hated school, and I kind of just didn't pay attention in math and science, and Somehow I graduated third in high school because third in my high school class of, like, 600 by answering every test with that song.
Raven-Symoné
Huh?
Unknown
I love it. College. I failed out. So I had to, like, drop out of Santa Monica and get a refund because it didn't work in college.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
You know what?
Raven-Symoné
I really want to apologize. If Raven Baxter went to college, I'm sure she would have, you know, reworked and remixed the song to help you get through college. My apologies.
Jeff Lewis
That's a typical.
Unknown
I also couldn't find parking.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
That's why I dropped out. That's Danny, just so you know, it's Miranda. And I quit SMC because I could not find parking. And I was like, fuck this. I'm leaving.
Raven-Symoné
What is wrong with you?
Shane Douglas Pearlman
2.
Raven-Symoné
Are you serious?
Jeff Lewis
Because that's, I think, where my daughter's gonna go.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
No, she's not.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know if we're gonna get her in school.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
No, I literally.
Raven-Symoné
You.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I ended up sitting at Art Luna, the hair salon, all day long, because I could not park at smc and they had moved to Main. Out of West Hollywood onto Main street in Santa Monica. And I just literally went. Would sit in the garden and listen to Art.
Jeff Lewis
Where's Monroe gonna park?
Raven-Symoné
Do I have to get her a driver's talking to you.
Jeff Lewis
Yes, I have to get her a driver to go to Santa Monica Junior College.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Yeah, you do. You do. For sure.
Raven-Symoné
This is a real problem.
Unknown
If everyone is experiencing this.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
This is like. It's terrible. Obviously, I mean, it takes you two. If your class starts at eight, you have to get there at six.
Raven-Symoné
Fuck that. That's insane.
Jeff Lewis
Why don't you get there early and.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Study for your test?
Raven-Symoné
How's that, Chef?
Unknown
What do you.
Raven-Symoné
Come on.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
I have shit to do.
Jeff Lewis
So I do have a housewife hack, which we figured out yesterday. So Molly Sims was here, along with Kristen Takeman. And I didn't know this before, but when they go shopping, if they're making purchases that they don't want their partner to see, I'm hearing that they will take, like, a $2,000 bag or $3,000 bag and they'll use a couple different credit cards. So that way, like, if Raven is looking at the credit card statements, she's seeing $500 at Neiman, but then she's not putting it two and two together. That there's another thousand on American express. There's another 500 on visa. So this.
Raven-Symoné
Jeff, we're leaving. We're leaving right now.
Jeff Lewis
So this guy, this somebody DM'd me, and he said it's called the Housewife Shuffle.
Raven-Symoné
Wow.
Shane Douglas Pearlman
Then I had someone else DM me.
Jeff Lewis
Yesterday, and she said that she's been doing the grocery store trick for years where you get cash back. She said she had $15,000 saved in her boot in her closet.
Raven-Symoné
She sounds like my grandmother. My grandmother used to go to Chanel on my granddad's pension, and her. What is it? Teachers. But the. The one that's not every day it's substitute teacher salary. And she would go to Chanel, and she would keep her Chanel purchases in the trunk of the car for, like, a month. And he would never check that, but he would check her closet and see if anything was going on.
Jeff Lewis
Do you check the credit card statements, Raven?
Raven-Symoné
I do Check the credit card statements.
Jeff Lewis
Do you have a business manager?
Raven-Symoné
I do, and I still check my statements.
Jeff Lewis
That's smart.
Raven-Symoné
I was taught that you have to only trust yourself. Toxic.
Jeff Lewis
So do you think we can get away with the housewife shuffle?
Miranda Pearman Mayday
We could get away with it, but we don't.
Raven-Symoné
Credit card, but we don't.
Unknown
She's like, I have and I will.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
No, but we don't have to do that. That's what I was gonna say. We really. I. I am a very responsible spender. I've always grown up financially aware. Raven and I both. Not to get all serious here, but one of the things that we really align in or on in our marriage is spending. And a lot of times in the beginning, too, my business manager used to have to tell us to. Or tell me to chill out, because she was like, miranda, you're fine. Like, finances are fine. So it just. It took me some time to get comfortable spending that way. Even though I always grew up, I lived in Hancock Park, I went to Campbell Hall. Like, I've. I've been comfortable my entire life. But. But even still, it was a different dynamic when we got married. And.
Raven-Symoné
Yeah. Cause I'm very. I'm frugal, except for when it comes to certain things. Like, I will cheap out on some things. Then I'll splurge on a bag, or I'll splurge on something that is like, I know I'm gonna wear for a while.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Raven-Symoné
And then I'll kind of go to IKEA for my furniture.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Cause I'm like, my balance.
Raven-Symoné
You know what I mean?
Jeff Lewis
So. But you're fiscally. You're fiscally responsible, it sounds like.
Raven-Symoné
Yes, we are very fiscally responsible. Know how much and how important it is to invest. You of all people know this. We have a couple of properties and we, you know, we know that the business that we're in is very fickle, especially right now. So we can't always live like we're gonna get a job. Like, our jobs are so uneven in this.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
But sometimes what I will do is I'll be like, look at what I got. It was on sale.
Raven-Symoné
Wasn't.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
Maybe it wasn't like, really on sale.
Raven-Symoné
She's girl math.
Jeff Lewis
I. I always fall for that girl mask shit.
Miranda Pearman Mayday
It's easy to do.
Raven-Symoné
I don't fall for that shit. You should have went to parking in that parking lot at 6am and took that damn class.
Jeff Lewis
Thanks for listening.

Jeff Lewis Has Issues: Episode Summary
Episode: Raven-Symoné & Miranda Pearman-Maday: Hyphens & Owls
Release Date: May 28, 2025
Host: Jeff Lewis
Guests: Raven-Symoné and Miranda Pearman-Mayday
In this high-energy episode of "Jeff Lewis Has Issues," host Jeff Lewis welcomes special guests Raven-Symoné and Miranda Pearman-Mayday to delve into the complexities of multi-hyphenate names and the unexpected challenges posed by owls. The conversation is a blend of personal anecdotes, humorous exchanges, and insightful discussions, offering listeners an unfiltered glimpse into the lives of these vibrant personalities.
The episode kicks off with an engaging discussion about the intricacies of multi-hyphenate names. Raven-Symoné and Miranda Pearman-Mayday share their experiences navigating the pronunciation and societal perceptions of their unique names.
Name Significance: Raven-Symoné explains the origin of her name, emphasizing the intentional use of hyphens for aesthetic appeal:
“My entire name is Raven Simone Cristina Pearman Mayday. So I should live in like Spain or something? I have such a Spanish name.” ([10:03])
Pronunciation Challenges: The trio humorously addresses common mispronunciations, highlighting how public figures often have their names altered unconsciously:
“Everyone knows you. I thought your last name was Simone.” ([09:55])
Future Naming Considerations: They ponder the impact of their naming conventions on future generations, discussing potential simplifications for their children’s names:
“And if we did have a kid, it would just have to have one. Maybe we'd cut the middle name.” ([11:13])
Transitioning from names to personal care, Miranda opens up about her struggles with hair loss and the various treatments she has undergone.
Hair Loss Journey: Miranda candidly discusses her diagnosis of female pattern baldness and the emotional toll it has taken:
“I think honestly, it's female pattern baldness. I did all the testing, and my little sister started to have the same issue. So I was like, okay, this is genetic.” ([03:25])
Skincare Practices: A humorous exchange ensues as Miranda reveals her minimal skincare routine, contrasting with Raven’s extensive regimen:
Miranda Pearman-Mayday: “I use absolutely not a damn thing.” ([04:50])
Raven-Symoné: “I barely wash my face twice a week.” ([04:53])
PRP Treatments: The conversation delves into Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments, with Jeff sharing his own experiences and challenges:
“I initially had started the PRP without any numbing and that was not. That was not.” ([08:55])
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the unexpected issue of owls invading Jeff's home, leading to a series of humorous and frustrating attempts to address the problem.
Owl Encounters: Jeff recounts the distress caused by owls killing crows on his flat roof, resulting in his dog ingesting a dead crow:
“We have to figure this out. We have to get rid of these owls.” ([18:06])
Creative Solutions: The group brainstorms unconventional methods to deter the owls, including playing Kendrick Lamar on repeat and deploying animatronic owls:
Raven-Symoné: “You just play Kendrick Lamar albums the whole time. That's all you have to do.” ([16:39])
Community Insights: Audience interaction introduces the idea that owls might be attracted due to "bad karma," adding a mystical layer to the problem:
