When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Jeff Lewis
This dementia's aggressive.
Zach Noe Towers
So is the drinking.
Jeff Lewis
You know, I've never been on a private plane before and I'm very. Are you serious? No, never. What are you, a Martian?
Tim Bagley
You're really demented. You're actually demented. Jeff Lewis has Issues.
Jeff Lewis
Hey, Welco. Welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Tim Bagley and Zach Noe Towers join the show. We talk about house rules, water balloons and gay stomach issues. Tim, I didn't know that you were such good friends with Michael Hitchcock.
Michael Hitchcock
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Who is a regular on this show.
Michael Hitchcock
Yes, he loves doing the show.
Jeff Lewis
We love having him here. He's a very funny guy and I think the audience really likes him. Right.
Zach Noe Towers
How could you not?
Jeff Lewis
How could you not like him?
Michael Hitchcock
He's lovable.
Jeff Lewis
How long have you known him?
Michael Hitchcock
Probably 35 years, maybe a little bit.
Jeff Lewis
So not long.
Michael Hitchcock
So, you know, not long. Fast friends.
Jeff Lewis
Where did you meet?
Michael Hitchcock
At the Groundlings. We were in classes. We were in the company together and he's just been one of my close friends. He's very loyal and smart and funny and I don't know, he's a great, great guy.
Jeff Lewis
So what you started off is the Groundlings. Is that improv?
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, it's improv and sketch.
Jeff Lewis
Zach, have you ever done that?
Tim Bagley
No, but I've gone to a lot of shows there and they churn. They basically. That's where SNL books from. That's where commercial books. That's where every comedic, great comedic actor you've seen in something has more than Likely like gone through Groundlings.
Jeff Lewis
Did you go through the Groundlings, Jameson?
Jameson
I did some classes, but I'm a product of Second City, not of Groundlings.
Michael Hitchcock
There are several, you know, UCB also, you know, there are lots of great kind of resources for. And Second City is a huge one.
Tim Bagley
You would like Groundlings, though. Cause they snip snipers, they cut people as they go that aren't good. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Tim Bagley
Yeah. And you'll get up to the last stage and you either get into the Sunday company or you get fucking cut.
Jeff Lewis
Now, did you leave voluntarily or did you.
Jameson
I only took a couple introductory classes.
Jeff Lewis
You didn't answer my question.
Jameson
I left voluntarily.
Michael Hitchcock
Wow.
Jameson
I left voluntarily. I did leave voluntarily.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, okay. And you went to Second City?
Jameson
No, no, no. I started at Second City, did their whole program and I just wasn't committed to doing a whole program all over again.
Jeff Lewis
Well, if you look at Michael and Tim's career and I think you have at least 170 credits from what I read. Do you ever have any regrets leaving.
Jameson
That something went wrong somewhere? I'm here. Something went terribly wrong. Yeah, I do. I have a lot of regrets.
Jeff Lewis
Now, what did you do for the fourth, Jameson? Because we know what Frank did.
Jameson
I actually had a quiet fourth, but Frank came back on the fifth. He was with his friends in the desert and then we went to the cemetery and saw La La Land. It was great with firework.
Jeff Lewis
Back it up for a second. So on Thursday we went down. You and I went down to Newport.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And we were back on Saturday. What day did. So how does this happen? So you.
Jameson
So Frank says, okay, well my boyfriend has friends, so. And he hangs out with them.
Jeff Lewis
Don't get defensive, I'm just asking. So he said, I would like to go and hang out with my friends for the fourth.
Jameson
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And then did he extend an invite or did he say, yeah, I'm headed?
Jameson
Yeah, I was like, I don't think this is the trip for me because I had just been in the desert and I didn't have off on Thursday. He had up. They all had off on Thursday. So they left on Wednesday. So it wasn't going to work for me.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, you couldn't just go down on your own?
Jameson
No, I didn't want to do that.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. So what I noticed because I follow Jameson and then I also follow his boyfriend Frank. And there were a lot of posts this weekend with a lot of half naked men in Speedos, one of which was a very handsome black man who was clearly well endowed. And I saw that photo. And then there was another follow up photo with him on a sofa. And then there was other photos of lots of gay men. And that doesn't concern you at all?
Jameson
No. I know these men very well. They're lovely, wonderful friends to both Frank and to me. And I'm not concerned.
Jeff Lewis
How would you feel, Tim? Your partner goes down to Palm Springs for a couple of nights with all the gays. You're seeing a lot of posts in speedos by the pool.
Michael Hitchcock
It would depend on my relationship with my partner. You know, a lot of people have polyamorous situations going on.
Tim Bagley
Go, Tim.
Michael Hitchcock
And so I think that I would know who my partner was and if he chose to be with me and had all these little other things going on, I don't know how I would feel about that.
Jameson
Well, I do want to clarify. They're not hooking up with each other. They're not sister sisters. They're not.
Michael Hitchcock
I don't know. I can believe that. Just because you wear a Speedo doesn't mean you're, you know, Some people are just proud of their bodies and want to, you know.
Jeff Lewis
He's proud. All right.
Michael Hitchcock
And if I, you know. And now was this Franck that you saw in the, in the. With the speedo and the.
Jeff Lewis
With the other.
Michael Hitchcock
The other. But it was Franck that was well endowed.
Jeff Lewis
Well, he is too. But the other one was. Yes.
Tim Bagley
What are you doing zooming in all these pictures?
Jeff Lewis
You don't have to zoom.
Jameson
Do you want me to get you his number? Is that what we're getting at?
Jeff Lewis
I'm just pointing out the obvious here. I just found it odd, you know, I just.
Michael Hitchcock
You know what? That sounds like a yes.
Jameson
He didn't answer the question.
Michael Hitchcock
He didn't answ. Answer the question.
Jeff Lewis
I can tell you right now, Tim, you are way too healthy for this show.
Tim Bagley
I was gonna say, Jeff is so pissed that you're answering these questions the way you're answering them.
Michael Hitchcock
Okay, okay.
Jeff Lewis
I just thought it was weird. I just thought it was weird you separate during the four.
Jameson
Tim, we've been here many times before and we're gonna. This makes Jeff very uncomfortable.
Jeff Lewis
It does.
Jameson
That makes me come back, has a life and he has friends and then we do things together and apart. Yeah. And Jeff is a lot of apartment.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Michael Hitchcock
You know, have you, have you ever been in a situation that was open.
Tim Bagley
Not to his knowledge?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. No.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, I was in one and I found out that it's really not for me. And you know when they say, you know, oh no, you can't come. It's a poly weekend. I felt shut out. And I didn't. I just didn't like it. It wasn't for me. I'm kind of old school. I like that, you know, kind of loyalty and stuff, but. But a lot of people do that.
Jeff Lewis
Well, it sounds like it was a poly weekend.
Jameson
Well, I want to clarify again. It wasn't. These men don't. They're not hooking up with each other.
Tim Bagley
And what I will say is I'd much prefer, I think, the boyfriend to be posting things than them never posting anything. Because it's like, what are you doing that I'm not seeing?
Jameson
He has a wonderful, loyal group of friends. They're lovely men. And they're not. I'm sorry.
Jeff Lewis
Who cares if they're poly? Who cares?
Jameson
Just because they're gay men doesn't mean they're fucking.
Michael Hitchcock
Right? That's true.
Jameson
Cut it, Jason. Pull that clip.
Michael Hitchcock
That really is. That is true. But on the other side of that is, you know, Paulie. The one thing that I learned is Paulie doesn't want a cracker. Paulie wants all the crackers Paulie can get.
Jeff Lewis
And you just summed up Frunk.
Tim Bagley
Wow.
Jameson
And I've said we're not, but if we were, there wouldn't be anything wrong with it. But we're not. They're not.
Tim Bagley
Besides, Polly has the ultimate cracker.
Jameson
That's not where we're at.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, you're up here with headphones on, working.
Zach Noe Towers
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
What did you do for the four, Tim?
Michael Hitchcock
I went with some friends up at Lake Arrowheadn.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, Kian was up there this weekend. Oh, you were at Big Bear? Where did she stay, Kian?
Zach Noe Towers
Same thing.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, an Airbnb.
Tim Bagley
I don't like Airbnb.
Jeff Lewis
Did you see fireworks?
Michael Hitchcock
I did off my friend's pier.
Jeff Lewis
I was a little worried about, like, that's quite a fire hazardous area up there, right?
Michael Hitchcock
I guess so. But they do it every year and it's over the lake and you know, they. Yeah, I think they kind of have it down. They have it figured out.
Jeff Lewis
Do you drink?
Michael Hitchcock
I do.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. So did you drink a lot?
Michael Hitchcock
I didn't drink this weekend.
Jeff Lewis
At all.
Michael Hitchcock
At all?
Jeff Lewis
That's great.
Zach Noe Towers
On purpose or just on purpose?
Michael Hitchcock
I. On Thursday, the day before I went, I had a. Oh, geez. This is the last thing I wanted to talk about, but I had a. I had a colonoscopy and so nice. And so I just kind of wanted to eat lightly and not drink alcohol and just kind of go through the weekend. I'm sorry. Bring the show down.
Jeff Lewis
I talk about colonoscopy. I talked about my colonoscopy for a.
Michael Hitchcock
Month, for two years.
Tim Bagley
We test subjects.
Jeff Lewis
Because I kept canceling. Yeah. But then I finally went.
Michael Hitchcock
But I did that too.
Jeff Lewis
How good did you look the morning of? I was. I mean, I had lost a lot of weight. I looked really good. I wish I could have just frozen right there at that weight.
Michael Hitchcock
I didn't really pay any attention to it. I'll tell you when I feel like I look good is when I'm wearing a light base. And I didn't have a light base on, so I don't know. It's hard to judge.
Jeff Lewis
Do you mean like a tan?
Michael Hitchcock
No, like little makeup.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, little makeup. I see. Okay. So did you have any polyps? No. Oh, see, I did. That was great. Yeah.
Tim Bagley
How many?
Jeff Lewis
Like, what about.
Tim Bagley
What did you get?
Jeff Lewis
Right. They rate you, like, you know, one. Between one and ten on cleanliness.
Michael Hitchcock
Oh. They said that I did my job really well, Sam. I was. Yeah, they told me. And. And. And, yeah. So I. I do kind of want to try to keep things going. I want to be as kind of clean. And so that's why I didn't drink. And I've just been eating healthy foods and stuff like that. Really. Honestly, I literally, on the way over here, said to myself, tim, whatever you do, don't bring up the colonoscopy. It's the one thing I said don't talk about. And here I am blabbing.
Jeff Lewis
So back to the colonoscopy.
Tim Bagley
No, we love that talk, though.
Jeff Lewis
What did you take to sleep during the procedure? Did it give you propofol?
Michael Hitchcock
Which is delicious.
Jeff Lewis
Right.
Michael Hitchcock
It makes Michael Jackson make complete sense. I totally get it. I totally get it.
Jeff Lewis
Same.
Michael Hitchcock
If I had the money, I could hire, I would.
Jeff Lewis
I do and I will.
Michael Hitchcock
So it makes sense. It's a. It's fantastic. I. I've had people say that they wake up during.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Michael Hitchcock
You know. Yeah. With Propofol, they wake up and they're aware of what's going on. I've. I've had Propofol now maybe five times, you know, five different procedures or whatever. And. And every time I don't wake up, it's just. You feel like you're really west rested.
Jeff Lewis
Yep. I loved it.
Tim Bagley
I. When I had my colonoscopy, they put me out. Like, I feel like they gassed me.
Michael Hitchcock
That's what it is.
Tim Bagley
Oh, okay. Yeah. That was yummy.
Michael Hitchcock
That's Propofol.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Tim Bagley
I like that.
Jeff Lewis
So you had A colonoscopy already? You're so young.
Tim Bagley
I had a antibiotic resistant virus in my stomach from eating ass.
Michael Hitchcock
Oh.
Zach Noe Towers
One thing he wasn't gonna talk about.
Michael Hitchcock
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
My God. Yeah, I didn't see that coming.
Tim Bagley
I did like three rounds of antibiotics before it killed the bug. And then they were like, we should probably check around in there to make sure we didn't, like, destroy you. Textbook perfect colon.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, Congrats.
Tim Bagley
The pictures are on my fridge.
Jameson
No, Tim, I have a follow up. I'm sorry, I'm curious. What were the symptoms? Did you have upset tummy all the time?
Tim Bagley
Yeah. Waves of nausea. Like overheating randomly. It wouldn't be constant, but it was just waves of it and it was horrible.
Zach Noe Towers
Do you get that in Palm Springs?
Tim Bagley
Probably.
Michael Hitchcock
Sounds to me like you need to be a little bit more particular about the asses that you're eating.
Tim Bagley
No. Do you understand? Do you understand? This was five years ago and I have not eaten a booty since. Okay? It scared me away. It's off the diet. I don't care how many points it has. I'm not eating it.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. All right. Now we probably should maybe for our audience who doesn't know who you are.
Michael Hitchcock
Oh, okay.
Jeff Lewis
We should probably explain because I tend to forget and I just start talking. You're an actor.
Michael Hitchcock
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
You have been acting for, like you said, for over 35 years. Is that it? No. You started dancing, you said.
Michael Hitchcock
I started. Yeah, right.
Jeff Lewis
Clubs.
Michael Hitchcock
No, I was. I danced for a year with Mitzi Gaynor. You. None of you guys will know who that is. But she was a. Like a. An old movie actress that did like South Pacific and anything goes and no business like show business. And she had eight dancing boys behind her and she did a nightclub tour all around the country. And I had taken a dance class in college. And somehow, you know, when you're young, you sometimes have this kind of false confidence. And I just thought, I can do that. And I auditioned and I got the job. And then somewhere in there I realized that it's actually a skill. And. And it was very hard and. But I stuck out the contract. And then after that I started kind of acting. I came back to LA and started taking acting classes.
Jeff Lewis
So you, you. You grew up in Wisconsin and Michigan, is that correct? Yeah.
Michael Hitchcock
Yep.
Jeff Lewis
And then when did you. At what point was it after high school you joined? Was it called the Young American?
Michael Hitchcock
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
What is that?
Michael Hitchcock
Okay, so that is like a little song and dance group. I think they're still in existence. And it was a way to leave Niles, Michigan, and come out to Southern California. And. And it was, you know, singing and dancing and, you know, this land is your land. This. It's that kind of stuff, you know.
Tim Bagley
Like, the musketeers would make it patriotic.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, it's kind of like that. And. And so I did that still around. I think so.
Jeff Lewis
Huh.
Michael Hitchcock
And then I still sell tickets.
Tim Bagley
They're not so young anymore.
Michael Hitchcock
I don't know. No, it's not. They do, like, you know, the whole thing is, it's. I learned pretty early on that I could actually get paid for doing that. So I started singing, you know, at Disneyland and dancing and doing all that. And I did that while I was in college.
Jeff Lewis
And then after college, I went to.
Michael Hitchcock
I did that tour dancing for a year. And then I got into studying acting.
Jeff Lewis
And is it true that your first feature film was the Mask?
Michael Hitchcock
Yes, with Jim Carrey. Great movie. Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
Now, for those of you. But more recently, you were in. I remember you from the Perfect Couple, which we spoke about. You were in Grace and Frankie. You were in Teachers. You were in Will and Grace. And then.
Michael Hitchcock
And you.
Jeff Lewis
Bridget Everett has a show for the last. It's gone three seasons so far. Somebody somewhere that's on Max. And did you join? Was it season three you joined?
Michael Hitchcock
No, I joined season two.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Michael Hitchcock
And it was, you know, I played Jeff Hiller's partner. And so it was kind of watching the unfolding of that relationship, and it was just. It's a beautiful show and my favorite job that I've had. It's about people at any juncture in your life, figuring out how to step into your own power and do what you want to do. And Bridget Everett was a person of a certain age living in Kansas after her partner, after her sister passed in the show. And she was figuring out how to sing and restart. Yeah, how to restart. And she met up with an old choir member who was played by Jeff Hiller. And, you know, it's just kind of about people finding your own group, you know, your own family, making your own family. It's a very queer show.
Jeff Lewis
It's critically acclaimed.
Michael Hitchcock
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
It's probably, we would say, a soft comedy. Cause it's dramatic as well. But it's funny.
Michael Hitchcock
It's dramatic, but it's very funny. I mean, to me, it's my kind of. It's heartfelt and it's not campy. It's subtle.
Tim Bagley
No, it's a slice of life.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And so season three is airing now, streaming on Max.
Michael Hitchcock
They're all three. All Three seasons, you can see.
Jeff Lewis
And so you were in season two and three.
Michael Hitchcock
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Now, the gays were very excited to hear that you're involved in the new. In a new project, Carrie, the series.
Michael Hitchcock
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
And we're not sure if that's a limited series, if that would go on multiple seasons.
Tim Bagley
I bet my bottom dollar it's limited.
Michael Hitchcock
I don't know. It might be. Because a lot of the pattern with Mike Flanagan is a lot of his series are one season. One and done. You know, it's like. And it does have a very, you know, a great ending. I don't want to say anything more about the ending.
Zach Noe Towers
Don't spoil Carrie for us. Right.
Jeff Lewis
Because I know I've seen the original and the remake, and then. So I would know the ending.
Michael Hitchcock
No, there are different things. Things. There are quite a few different things.
Jeff Lewis
Deb in California has a question. Line one.
Michael Hitchcock
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
Hi, Deb.
Deb
Hey, chumps. What's up?
Michael Hitchcock
Hi. Hi.
Deb
I have been laughing ever since Zach said he needed a colonoscopy because, what is he, 35? And how did he figure out it was from eating ass?
Jeff Lewis
How did they figure out.
Michael Hitchcock
Sorry, Tim, please.
Tim Bagley
This is not necessarily was. They said you could even get this from, like, a dirty lime wedge in a drink. But the doctor I had was awful, and he said I had gay bowel syndrome. Gbs, which is an outdated term that they used to give gay men because they saw this happening in gay men from eating ass. Like, this doctor assumed straight people don't eat ass. Okay, sorry, munch butt. What do you want me to say?
Jeff Lewis
This was. Yeah, I wish there was another word.
Tim Bagley
Deb. Deb asked, and I'm telling her.
Jeff Lewis
I know.
Tim Bagley
So, Deb, I was actually kind of telling.
Deb
And they eat ass. Okay. They just lie about it.
Tim Bagley
Yeah, everyone does. I mean, I don't know if Jim does.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, I'm not gonna. That's none of your business. I'm not giving it all away.
Tim Bagley
Maybe the next episode, but, yeah. Thanks, Deb, for asking the important questions.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, back to Carrie.
Michael Hitchcock
So.
Jeff Lewis
You play the guidance counselor.
Michael Hitchcock
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. And are you in every episode?
Michael Hitchcock
I'm in six of the eight episodes.
Jeff Lewis
Great.
Michael Hitchcock
Great.
Jeff Lewis
And are you there? Are you allowed to say at the very end when it. I mean, I'm not sure what the ending is?
Michael Hitchcock
I'm not really allowed to say that. I'm not gonna say that I was.
Jeff Lewis
Gonna wonder if you die?
Michael Hitchcock
I'm not gonna say that.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Michael Hitchcock
I'm not gonna say that.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, that's fine. You don't have to. I was Just curious.
Michael Hitchcock
It's. I don't want anybody. There's so many twists and turns. The writing is fantastic. Mike Flanagan, and there's so many twists and turns and things that you don't expect that happen. So I. And I've read the book, and it's, you know, it's a more contemporary look at Stephen King's novel. And it's, you know, a lot about bullying and mean girls and, you know.
Jeff Lewis
Sounds like Internet stuff.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, it's right up your alley.
Jameson
The writers all listen to the show.
Michael Hitchcock
As inspiration and then.
Jeff Lewis
Where did you shoot it?
Michael Hitchcock
We're shooting it now. We're shooting it up in Vancouver, Canada.
Jeff Lewis
When do you go back?
Michael Hitchcock
I go back in a week.
Jeff Lewis
So did you shoot the. Somebody somewhere? Was that. Did you shoot that in Kansas?
Michael Hitchcock
No, they shot some of the exteriors in Kansas, but we shot it mostly outside of Chicago and. And, you know, on location.
Jeff Lewis
We were talking about when you. The Perfect Couple, which I really. I. I really enjoyed that show.
Michael Hitchcock
That's rich people behaving badly. Of course you do.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, I find it relatable. But you said that you shot in Chatham, Massachusetts, which is a beautiful place.
Michael Hitchcock
Gorgeous.
Jeff Lewis
How long were you there?
Michael Hitchcock
Two months.
Jeff Lewis
Two months.
Michael Hitchcock
And. And so my favorite kind of memory of that whole period was just going for long walks on that beach and, you know, seeing. I don't know, it was just beautiful and peaceful and, you know, it's. Chatham is a very small town and a very. Like a fisherman town. So it's just. I don't know where it's. I've always heard about, you know, songs about Cape Cod and read about Cape Cod and all that. And so to be there and have that experience was really thrilling for me.
Jeff Lewis
Did you go to P Town?
Michael Hitchcock
I did. I went three weekends.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, Three weekends?
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah. Three. Well, for a day, I would drive up.
Jeff Lewis
Now I know why you got the colonoscopy.
Michael Hitchcock
No, no, no. How dare you. How dare you. No, but I will say this. You know, growing up, I've been around for a long time, and I've heard about, you know, tea dances started at. In Fire Island. At. I mean. Yeah, at P Town. And so. Yeah, at P Town. And so there was. Somebody said, oh, you've got to go to a tea dance. They're famous there. And so it was kind of sad. I went there. I drove up, you know, was there for a few hours, then went back home. But I was the first one in line for the tea dance. And I just felt, like, kind of desperate, but it was really Fun.
Jeff Lewis
Like Doug. He was here at what time? When was he here? What time this morning. Annie, what time did Doug get here this morning?
Amber
He was here before I got back from the coffee shop, so at least eight, but probably earlier.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, he's punctual.
Tim Bagley
That's cute.
Zach Noe Towers
I'm a prompt for a 10:00am show.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, very prompt.
Tim Bagley
How does it work with you, though? Like on a dance floor, like a tea dance? Like that. A lot of men recognize you.
Michael Hitchcock
But a lot don't. Okay, a lot don't. And also, you know, in the gay world, you know, I'm. I'm 67, so I'm an age where you're invisible to a lot of people at a tea dance. You know, they're just not really going to worry about. Yeah. So I. For me, it's a lot of. Just kind of observing and seeing what people are doing now. And it was. I love that. I love feeling invisible. Invisible. I do. I do. I like feeling like I don't have to worry about. I don't have to worry. You know, I see all the, you know, young guys worrying about everything, and I just roll out, you know, and I'm fine.
Jeff Lewis
You have a full head of hair. I do Like, a good head of hair. What are you doing?
Michael Hitchcock
Nothing. It's just genetics.
Jeff Lewis
Seriously?
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Nothing.
Michael Hitchcock
And I don't color it.
Zach Noe Towers
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Michael Hitchcock
I don't color.
Tim Bagley
That's wild.
Michael Hitchcock
It's my real hair.
Tim Bagley
Because you have some gray hair. It's like a full hair, but it's mainly brunette.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah. I don't know. I really don't know. I have a brother who's. Who's kind of lost a lot of his hair, so I don't really know. Wow.
Jeff Lewis
You're just lucky, I guess.
Tim Bagley
My brother is lucky.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, he is. Did you tell Tim about your recent procedure?
Tim Bagley
I got hair transplants.
Jeff Lewis
Show him the plugs.
Zach Noe Towers
And he didn't tell us for a month.
Jeff Lewis
He didn't tell us.
Tim Bagley
It's like, literally just happened. So it'll take months before it grows in, but I like high widow. High widow peaks.
Michael Hitchcock
But your hair looks great. Is that all your real hair, what you have there?
Tim Bagley
Yeah.
Michael Hitchcock
That looks great.
Tim Bagley
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, we just, you know, we're always.
Zach Noe Towers
You see him every week.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, we see him all the time. And we. We all open up to each other.
Tim Bagley
But I wanted. I wanted a secret. I wanted a secret.
Jeff Lewis
He decided to keep that from us. Is there anything else you've done recently?
Tim Bagley
Probably.
Jeff Lewis
Is there anything you plan on doing that you're not going to tell us about. Oh, definitely don't get a bbl. No. Have you read about the side effects?
Tim Bagley
You know how silly I would look with a fat ass. Like, I can't even tell you.
Jeff Lewis
Have you heard about the side effects? They don't tell you this, but I read about it. No, I didn't get. I'm glad I didn't. I'm glad I didn't, Tim, because what happens is they. After the fat transfer, there's so much fat tissue that a lot of it will die and it causes a sour smell. So if you sweat a lot or if you are basically, if you sit down for long periods of time, it could start to smell. And it smells very sour from what I understand.
Tim Bagley
Oh, no.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, you didn't have that.
Tim Bagley
No, I didn't. I also heard you had to fly back, like riding the seat cowgirl. Do you know what I mean? Like, you face your airplane seat and you have your ass like forward because.
Zach Noe Towers
You can't sit for like six.
Jeff Lewis
Fat necrosis is what it was called. Fat necrosis. You have to be careful. So I've always, you know, been a strong advocate for bbls here on Jeff Lewis lie. But now I don't want my chumps to smell.
Tim Bagley
Damn. It doesn't smell forever though.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know how long it smells. Krista smells good though.
Zach Noe Towers
She always smells great.
Jeff Lewis
She had a bbl. Hers went well, I guess.
Zach Noe Towers
Pros and cons.
Jeff Lewis
And you got to be careful with that, Seth. You don't need it though.
Amber

Deb
Good morning.
Jeff Lewis
Morning. What's your question?
Deb
Amber I've been wanting to call. No question. More of a comment. I've been wanting to call for a long time to say this and with Tim being on your show today, it feels like the perfect segue. Somebody somewhere I love that show. I love when you join Kim and it makes me feel the community that you all have on the show totally reminds me of Jeff the chumps everybody. And I don't mean to be sappy but I have to give credit where credit is Due. I just think Shane is the sweet spot. The secret sauce, the everything. I just love his involvement. And I think that Jeff heart has actually grown since Shane has been around him.
Michael Hitchcock
That's all so true. I love that. That's sweet.
Tim Bagley
Jeff is so mad right now, Amber.
Jeff Lewis
Thanks for your call, Amber. Have a great day.
Zach Noe Towers
Little gay grin.
Tim Bagley
You know what's happening over here, Jeff? Have you seen Hocus Pocus? You know, the opening where they suck the youth out of the girl? That's what's happening between Jeff and Shane. He is Hocus pocusing the youth out of.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, let's talk about your post this weekend then, with Fortune Feimster.
Tim Bagley
I didn't post it. Fortune did. What now?
Jeff Lewis
Okay, so Zach opens her Fortune Feemster.
Michael Hitchcock
I love Fortune Fester.
Tim Bagley
She's a friend of mine. Yes, I love her.
Jeff Lewis
And Zach often opens for her and also publicly kisses her ass on the regular.
Tim Bagley
What?
Jeff Lewis
So he took her. You took Fortune out for dinner for her birthday?
Tim Bagley
Fortune and I went to dinner for her birthday, and I was honored that she asked me to do it.
Jeff Lewis
And then I noticed that she mentioned in the post that you made a nice dessert for her. What exactly is in Kiss Ass Pie?
Tim Bagley
Whatever I can find around the house, Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
So you guys had a nice time?
Tim Bagley
We had a great time.
Jeff Lewis
Great.
Tim Bagley
And you won't break this down for you?
Jeff Lewis
You secured yourself some dates for the future.
Tim Bagley
She asked me to go to dinner.
Michael Hitchcock
Sure. What's your favorite thing about Fortune?
Tim Bagley
She's one of the best.
Jeff Lewis
Please don't get him started.
Tim Bagley
She will. Because we drive between city and city and we just, like. We just talk. And she's so chill and she's so grounded. She's so comfortable. And she. She's so fun. She's silly.
Michael Hitchcock
And her. Her mom is going through some stuff right now.
Tim Bagley
Yeah, her mom is going through some stuff.
Michael Hitchcock
So just back. Back off, Jeff.
Tim Bagley
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, Tim. I will. I will back off. 28 days later was it 28 years later? Did you see it?
Tim Bagley
I did see it.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. Anything?
Tim Bagley
Did you see it?
Jeff Lewis
I haven't seen it yet. Are you recommending it?
Tim Bagley
Yeah. Okay, so the first of a trilogy. So there's two more parts coming out.
Jeff Lewis
So Zachy is a. He is a horror fanatic. Horror thriller. Like he sees every new scary movie I do. So we ask him every time we're here.
Jameson
Wait, but this is the third of.
Tim Bagley
It's the start of a new trilogy. 28 years later. Bone Temple is coming out in, like, January already.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, so it was really good.
Tim Bagley
Also they shot it on an iPhone 15.
Zach Noe Towers
What?
Jeff Lewis
Oh really? Yeah, kind of like down and out in Beverly Hills.
Tim Bagley
It's great and I hate to bring it back to sexual.
Michael Hitchcock
Oh boy, here we go.
Tim Bagley
There's an Alpha zombie who has a wiener down to his knees. Oh, and he runs a lot so it's fluffing all over the place.
Jeff Lewis
I wonder if that's the same guy was at the poly weekend. What's from.
Tim Bagley
I love his work but you should definitely go see it. It's scary.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Tim Bagley
We recommend anything else that's like out right now. Yeah, there's a new or streaming now on Netflix. There's prom night. It's from the Fear street people.
Jeff Lewis
I watched it.
Tim Bagley
You did?
Jeff Lewis
I watched it during my pre novo scan. I loved it.
Tim Bagley
It's fun and silly.
Jeff Lewis
It was like 100. It was an hour and 15 minutes was great for ADD.
Tim Bagley
I love a 90 minute movie. 95 minute movie. Yeah, but that's all I can think of.
Jeff Lewis
Right. Do you have any 90 minute movies you'd like to recommend? That you were in it? That you were in or less?
Michael Hitchcock
I really don't keep track of how many minutes they are, so I don't even know how to respond to it.
Tim Bagley
I thought he was a professional.
Michael Hitchcock
No.
Jeff Lewis
Wow. Okay. Well for 4th of July we went down to Newport. Ty did. Ty went to Palm Springs. He had a poly weekend. Oh no, actually he came with us.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. And then your boyfriend, he came with us too.
Zach Noe Towers
He did?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, Same city.
Zach Noe Towers
Brokey. Yeah, we stayed in. Stay in the same room.
Jameson
It's Monday morning.
Tim Bagley
Jameson. You're gonna have such a lawsuit on your hands at some point.
Jeff Lewis
And then Kian, you spent the weekend with your girlfriend? Fourth of July.
Jameson
Yeah, I also spent the weekend.
Jeff Lewis
Who did you spend the 4th with?
Amber
My boyfriend.
Jameson
Oh, that's funny because I also spent the weekend with my boyfriend.
Jeff Lewis
No you didn't. He didn't come home until Saturday.
Jameson
He came home Saturday, so I spent the weekend. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday, so yeah, I guess we all spent weekends with our partners. Great.
Jeff Lewis
Not the same thing.
Jameson
Anyway, next topic. Alpha dong ask eating.
Jeff Lewis
Next.
Michael Hitchcock
Wow, somebody is enraged.
Zach Noe Towers
I'm glad you see it.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, I think that you really hit something with this whole Franck issue.
Jeff Lewis
Uh huh. I hit a nerve.
Jameson
It's not an issue I have with Franck, it's an issue I have with Jeff Lewis.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, what I'm seeing is somebody spiraling.
Jeff Lewis
It's true.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, it's true.
Jeff Lewis
Tim.
Tim Bagley
Yeah, it's Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
So we go down to Newport and We had. We went to that. What was that club that night? That beautiful social club. My house. Our house. Your home? My home.
Zach Noe Towers
My house.
Michael Hitchcock
House.
Jeff Lewis
My. Something like that.
Zach Noe Towers
Something like that.
Jeff Lewis
But it's this really nice social club that Shannon Bedor joined. And we went and we had a really nice time. Now, fortunately, well, I had a nice time. So I was on one side of the table with Shannon Beador and then Ty. So of course, Ty didn't get a word in.
Jameson
And then I believe it's called sorry to interrupt the house.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, okay.
Jameson
Does that sound right?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, that sounds right.
Jameson
Private members club.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. So you were on the other side of the table with Patty Stanger and Brogan. So you also didn't get a word in?
Zach Noe Towers
Not one word. I didn't open my mouth.
Jeff Lewis
But it was beautiful. We had a great time.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah. Delicious.
Jeff Lewis
And so then, nice evening. We went back to the Pendry, had a few drinks there, met up with a couple more people. Then the next day, we went to Huntington beach, which there are a bunch of animals there. I'm just gonna tell you. So Kelly has a beautiful new home. She was an incredible hostess. Tons of alcohol, tons of food, tons of now. We decided there was 12 bikes in the garage. 12. And so 12, 12 people. Volunteers decided, let's go for it.
Zach Noe Towers
I volunteered. Kelly was insisting all day. I want to go on a bike ride. I want to go on a bike ride. I want a bike ride.
Jeff Lewis
So now when you're riding a bike in Huntington BEACH on the 4th of July, I mean, you're basically ducking fireworks because they're shooting them off their balconies. And they're also. They love to throw water balloons. Oh, now they're animals. They are white trash criminals.
Tim Bagley
I would bring a gun with me on that bike ride, and you wouldn't.
Zach Noe Towers
Be the only one in Huntington Beach.
Jeff Lewis
So Kelly decided we were gonna go bar hopping, so she took us down a street called Alabama. Oh, yeah. I wasn't aware of this, but basically, people are lined up on Alabama to throw water balloons at you.
Tim Bagley
So she knew that.
Jeff Lewis
She took us right into the war zone. And most. I noticed most of the water balloons were the. Well, the people with the accurate shots were on the right. So what I did was I strategically.
Tim Bagley
Put my bike behind someone else's on.
Jeff Lewis
The left side of Rick Leventhal, who was pummeled repeatedly.
Michael Hitchcock
Smart.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Pummeled repeatedly. I had one direct hit to my back, which was fine, and then somebody on the left hit me with the squirt gun. Wasn't that Big of a deal.
Tim Bagley
It still looked like pee.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know.
Zach Noe Towers
He also peed his pants.
Tim Bagley
Oh, perfect.
Jeff Lewis
It is the most dangerous thing you've ever seen because the people are getting hit in the head, and you can get knocked off the bike. Sure. So I look over to the right. There was 12 of us, right? Yeah, 12 bikes. So, I mean, these guys. These people were. Wait, I mean, there's a hundred people out there.
Zach Noe Towers
Oh, yes.
Jeff Lewis
Each. Easy, easy. Waiting for people to take the bikes down the street. So they just started coming for us. Now, Vicki Gunvalson was there, and she had some beautiful new $800 Gucci sunglasses. The reason I know that is because they got thrown off of her head. They used what is looked like a water balloon slingshot. And I saw that thing get launched, and I went right. Like, I ducked and right next to Rick Leventhal, and it hit Vicki right in the head. Right in the head.
Tim Bagley
It's one of those, like, it takes three people to operate. Like, one on each side and then one. That's rude. That's dangerous.
Jeff Lewis
And it threw those sunglasses, like, I don't know how far in the air. But she was on a tandem bike with her boyfriend.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, then I get it.
Jeff Lewis
Thank God.
Michael Hitchcock
I think they're lucky they weren't rocked.
Jeff Lewis
She was very lucky because Mike kept. You know, he kept the balance on the bike. So when she got hit so hard, if she was on her own bike, she would have got thrown down.
Zach Noe Towers
She would have gone down for sure. Yes.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, so what happened with her glasses?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Well, then when all the water balloons started getting released, I was trying to duck behind Rick, and then I realized, like, I'm gonna get hit. So I immediately made a left, a sharp left up onto the sidewalk. So now I'm in behind the water balloon people, not in front of them. So that was why I only got hit once. You got. You were drenched?
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, I got several to the chest, to the back.
Jeff Lewis
So we. Vicky was pretty shaken up.
Zach Noe Towers
I mean, it couldn't have happened to, like, a worse person in that sense of being, like, she was just completely thrown off.
Jeff Lewis
So the problem is, is that because she was so upset, Mike, her boyfriend, was upset. I didn't want her, so she wanted to go back to the house. So I said to Ty, let's go back. I don't want to go. I feel bad because, you know, she's not in a great place. So we all go back, but then we realize her glasses are gone. So Brogan and Kelly get back on the bikes and they go back to Alabama street and they found those glasses.
Michael Hitchcock
Really?
Jeff Lewis
I thought for sure they were gone. Yeah.
Michael Hitchcock
I think the people in Huntington beach don't know good sunglasses.
Jeff Lewis
You're right. You're right. They thought it was from 7 11. They had no idea.
Michael Hitchcock
They didn't know what they. What was there on the ground.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, because they had been sitting there for 20 something minutes, right?
Tim Bagley
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
At least $800 glasses just sitting there in the middle of the street. Not one person picked them up.
Jameson
Were they scraped up or anything?
Jeff Lewis
No.
Tim Bagley
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
But I mean, Vicky probably has brain damage.
Zach Noe Towers
I mean if you ask her. Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, she was.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, she was a little rattled.
Jeff Lewis
Very rattled.
Tim Bagley
Damn.
Jeff Lewis
But it was insane. A little. I mean I found it a little funny. Not when Vicky got hit.
Michael Hitchcock
No.
Zach Noe Towers
But the rest.
Jeff Lewis
Well, when she got hit, yes. But I didn't know. But I didn't realize the damage.
Michael Hitchcock
Right.
Jeff Lewis
Did you find it funny? Fun?
Tim Bagley
Yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
In the moment. Well, right after the moment, for a second I was scared and then I was like oh, hahaha. And then I was like, oh, Vicky.
Tim Bagley
Also, what if Kelly and Brogan went to hook up when they went looking for the sunglasses?
Jeff Lewis
They're not poly.
Zach Noe Towers
Like it was not a poly weekend.
Tim Bagley
Damn.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. No, this it wasn't.
Zach Noe Towers
And they did find the sunglasses. So we knew what they were doing.
Michael Hitchcock
It seems to me pretty innocent.
Jeff Lewis
Now. Kelly's a great hostess, don't you think?
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Michael Hitchcock
It sounds like Kelly took a bunch of gay guys into a situation that was very dangerous.
Jeff Lewis
Wasn't just gay guys, but yeah, okay.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah, a lot of gay guys.
Jeff Lewis
But she. What was the cousin's name that she started yelling at?
Zach Noe Towers
Such a nice guy.
Jeff Lewis
Shit. You don't remember his name?
Tim Bagley
Was he nice?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, he was a nice guy.
Zach Noe Towers
What's his name?
Tim Bagley
Jerry, Mark. Jason. Larry.
Michael Hitchcock
John.
Tim Bagley
Jason. Paul.
Jeff Lewis
He was Matt. He was Tony. Tony. So cousin Tony's like. So we're all just kind of relaxing, sitting outside, having a drink. What were the drinks that I had?
Zach Noe Towers
High Noons. Jeff had his first High Noon.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, do you like High Noons, Annie? Love them. It's. But it's not a lot of alcohol.
Michael Hitchcock
No.
Amber
And they're vodka instead of like whatever White Claw is. They're way better.
Zach Noe Towers
It's a white girl like classic. And they come in all the fun flavors.
Amber
College.
Michael Hitchcock
Really?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I liked them. Never had them before.
Tim Bagley
Are they sweet tasting?
Jeff Lewis
They're not that sweet. I think it depends on the flavor.
Tim Bagley
It's like lollipop level sweet.
Amber
They are very artificial.
Tim Bagley
Like I like diet flavor stuff. I mean, I can't, but Lacroix, not very flavorful.
Jeff Lewis
So Kelly introduced this to me. She's like, oh, you got to try these. And then she takes out a cherry one. She goes, give this to Ty. She goes, all black friends love this one.
Tim Bagley
No.
Jeff Lewis
And I go, oh, thanks, Kelly. I'll let him know.
Tim Bagley
Oh, my God.
Jeff Lewis
I forgot to ask him if he liked it or not.
Tim Bagley
That's a crazy thing to say.
Michael Hitchcock
Cherry.
Zach Noe Towers
Cherry top, chico.
Tim Bagley
Most people like cherry.
Zach Noe Towers
Everyone likes the black cherry. White Claw.
Jeff Lewis
But then, remember. So Tony's like, hey, can you turn on the music?
Zach Noe Towers
And she just screamed back, you fucking do it.
Jeff Lewis
So that's when it kind of started going, sure, yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
It was fun. And Rick got a little drunk. Yeah.
Zach Noe Towers
And you called him out?
Jeff Lewis
I called him out. Cause he was slurring. And then Kelly yelled at him and told him to man up.
Tim Bagley
Damn, it was fun. Do some coke like a man.
Jeff Lewis
It was a fun weekend.
Zach Noe Towers
I'm just so. I want. So they have a beautiful. She redid the whole first floor of their house, and it's gorgeous. And in their powder room, they had, like, an upgraded toilet situation.
Jeff Lewis
It wasn't a toto, but it was one of those automatic toilets. Yes.
Zach Noe Towers
It was like. It was like. Yeah, it was a regular toilet with, like, the thing on it. So you had, like, the sprayer and the cleaner or whatever.
Michael Hitchcock
And so, like, a bidet situation.
Jeff Lewis
Yes. Yes.
Michael Hitchcock
Those are enjoyable.
Jeff Lewis
I wouldn't put it in the powder room, though, because you don't want people to, you know, park themselves there for longer.
Michael Hitchcock
It's more of a private bathroom.
Jeff Lewis
I agree with you, Tim.
Michael Hitchcock
I don't want to share a bidet with just anybody.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Zach Noe Towers
Jeff walked out of the powder room really quickly after he had gone in. I was like, did you like, what?
Jeff Lewis
Well, it wasn't that quickly because I couldn't figure out. I could not figure out for the life of me, the sink, how to open that toilet.
Zach Noe Towers
You have to open it. You just open it.
Jeff Lewis
I walked up to it, and it didn't go up. And I was afraid.
Zach Noe Towers
So he walked up, right out.
Jeff Lewis
And I was looking at the buttons, and I couldn't figure it out. So then I. I walked out and I went upstairs to one of the bathrooms upstairs. And that's what I continued to do for the rest of the day.
Zach Noe Towers
You just had to open it because I didn't be.
Jeff Lewis
I didn't want to be. Why are you making fun of me? I didn't want to be the one to break it.
Zach Noe Towers
I didn't know how to open the toilet.
Tim Bagley
You lift it.
Jeff Lewis
I didn't want to break it and I did not know how much it was and I. So I. Yes, you're right.
Michael Hitchcock
For somebody as fancy as Jeff, though he's accustomed to walking up to a toilet seat and it just opens automatically than me.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you.
Michael Hitchcock
The idea, the concept of just lifting a toilet is very basic for Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
Right. Wow. You feel real comfortable, don't you? Already, Tim. Already. Oscar, we were curious and it has occurred to me, but I've never asked, living under your parents roof, are there rules that you have to follow?
Oscar
Yeah, absolutely. It's their house, their rules.
Jeff Lewis
What are their rules? Do you have a curfew?
Oscar
No, I don't have a curfew. As long as I let them know that I'm coming home late.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. And then are you allowed to drink in their home?
Oscar
Yeah, with. I mean, yeah, as long as I don't get drunk, then I can drink.
Jeff Lewis
Are there other rules that I'm curious that you have to adhere to? Like.
Oscar
Like what?
Michael Hitchcock
Well, can you, can you bring a sexual company home?
Oscar
I don't bring anybody over, no. Because my parents start parenting and. Yeah, I don't want to.
Tim Bagley
Like, they sit you both down for the talk.
Oscar
Yeah, they did that to my brother and now his wife, so I can't.
Jeff Lewis
Oh.
Tim Bagley
It worked out for them though.
Oscar
Well, they live in Maryland now, so it worked out perfectly.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, so it's just you at home?
Oscar
It's just me at home right now.
Amber
Wait, so if you don't get a late curfew approved, what happens? Like, do you get grounded?
Michael Hitchcock
No, it's.
Oscar
It's nothing like that. It just depends on what the situation is. Like if there's family over that's visiting and hey, there's people that are staying over and they're gonna sleep here. I can't barge in when there's people sleeping and I'm making a bunch of noise.
Jeff Lewis
I see stuff like that. So when your family's there, do you guys share a room or do you have your. You have your own room?
Oscar
Yeah, I have my own room, but if family comes over and they need a bed, they can have my bed and I'll go sleep on the couch.
Jeff Lewis
Got it. Okay. Do you have any follow up questions, Tim?
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, yeah, I'd like to know if. Do you, do you ever bring in like your own food and say, this is my food and nobody, you know, like, like, do you have any boundaries? You know, things that you try to set your own kind of power with them?
Oscar
Yeah. When my room door is closed, don't walk in, and don't touch my cigars. And we're good.
Jeff Lewis
Do you have a lock on your door?
Oscar
I do.
Jeff Lewis
Okay, that's good. And I imagine you use it often.
Oscar
Oh, all the time.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Tim Bagley
Do you have a mini fridge in your room?
Oscar
I don't have a mini fridge in my room.
Michael Hitchcock
Do you ever ask your mom, you know, mom, make me some lemonade, or ask her to do something for you that, you know, you feel like maybe I should just do this on my own. But you get her to do it because she's your mom.
Oscar
Well, I'm Hispanic, so if you ask your mom to cook for you or to make lemonade for you, she'll say in Spanish, you have two hands, don't you?
Tim Bagley
Nice.
Jeff Lewis
So it's good for her, the mom. You don't realize this, but there's some microaggression going on with the mother. So, for example, she did not celebrate his birthday at all. Didn't even acknowledge it.
Oscar
It was Mother's Day. She wanted her time, I wanted mine.
Jeff Lewis
She wants him to move out.
Oscar
We're good.
Jeff Lewis
That's my theory. That's my theory. She's like, yeah. And he. Again, he's made no attempts to move out. He hasn't even. He doesn't even pretend to look.
Michael Hitchcock
Do you get paid here? I do, but what.
Tim Bagley
I do, honestly. Fair question.
Jeff Lewis
Fair question. Yeah.
Michael Hitchcock
Well, you might want to start putting things a little something aside to move out.
Oscar
I have been. Yeah, I've been looking. I've been looking.
Jeff Lewis
I don't even want to, like, I don't even want to go there. But, Tim, if I told you what he spends his money on, I just.
Michael Hitchcock
Is it whores?
Jeff Lewis
Honestly, I wish it was whores. Then I would understand, like.
Tim Bagley
Oh, yes, carry on.
Jeff Lewis
It's memorabilia.
Michael Hitchcock
Oh, well, like, what kind?
Tim Bagley
Nothing.
Oscar
Autograph. Funko Pops autograph. Wrestling belts, Harry Potter robes, stuff like that.
Jeff Lewis
You know, span the wands.
Michael Hitchcock
I bet your room is a nightmare.
Oscar
That's why I can't have anybody over.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Oscar
They walk right in, they walk right out.
Michael Hitchcock
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
You did a fan social this weekend, huh?
Tim Bagley
I did. With Shane. It was a dream. Shout out, Angela.
Jeff Lewis
I heard you brought a dessert to that, too.
Tim Bagley
I brought her some cookies.
Jeff Lewis
You got a one up, Shane, don't you?
Tim Bagley
Yeah, of course. Oh, you love me. When are we gonna make out, Jeff?
Jeff Lewis
Never.
Tim Bagley
No, that's not true. We both know it.
Jeff Lewis
With all the ailments you have, I don't want anything to do with it. I'm sorry that you have to witness this, Tim.
Michael Hitchcock
That's all right.
Jeff Lewis
We understand if you don't. Oh, Kelly says it's actually the grape flavor.
Zach Noe Towers
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Not. Yeah, not the. That's what she said.
Tim Bagley
Yeah.
