What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Wild Files Reality Recap edition. I'm your host, Nick. Happy holidays to you all. Whatever you guys are doing this Thanksgiving, hope you're traveling. We're very excited to be with you. We got a great episode for you. The one and only Jeff Lewis is with us later this episode to talk about all things Bravo. Babe, there you are. We talked about this on ViaFly. Plus last week, Shake Shack is now on Delta flights.
Natalie
That's iconic.
Nick
Except that this sucks for me.
Natalie
Why?
Nick
Because I'm not a sauce girly.
Natalie
Oh, they're de.
Nick
They're definitely not. We talked about this. The team feels like they're going to like, somehow give us the, like the packets of sauce on the side. And as someone who has been, as I said, oppressed by the people who put sauces on. On burgers, I know they're not going to.
Natalie
No. It's going to be like just. The Shack burger is going to come with lettuce tomato shots.
Nick
It's going to come with a.
Shane
You think so?
Nick
It's going to come with a soggy. What are they going to question? What are they going to do about the soggy lettuce and the soggy tomato?
Justin
That's kind of what I'm thinking. That that's why I Think that they would do a side sauce packet or like when you fill out your. What do you want to eat? You can do like a preference.
Natalie
I mean, people do have allergies. So like maybe they are assembling, you know, in the, in the galley. Because one sauce.
Jeff Lewis
I wish.
Cynthia
Did the flight attendants have time to put sauce on everyone's burgers?
Nick
They're busy.
Natalie
Those burgers.
Justin
If they're just sitting there waiting for time to eat, like, yeah, they're going to be disgusting by the time where I'm like, at least if they're not sauced up, they'll still have hold their shape.
Shane
Here's the thing. When you order a salad, the salad doesn't come with the dressing on it unless you're at like a salad place. Right. So they're going to give it to you with the sauce on the side.
Justin
They do that on the plane too.
Shane
Yeah.
Nick
As someone who has had to deal with this burden my whole life, I promise you, you have no faith. I have no faith. I have absolutely no.
Natalie
We are going to New York in December. So maybe we will get.
Nick
Well, what are we going to get? The John and Vinnie's or any of the Shake Shack? How do they.
Natalie
You can get John Vinnie's, I'll get Shake Shack and then we'll see.
Nick
Are they giving us the option because we will be flying Delta.
Cynthia
Well, there is sauce on pasta, period.
Shane
Wait, so they're going to have John and Vinnie and Shake Shack?
Natalie
Yeah. You think they're going to cut. That would be kind of messed up.
Shane
I thought they were replacing it.
Justin
No.
Shane
Sounds like they have a full kitchen on deck.
Nick
Yeah, I'm not, I'm not. Yeah, it's. It's not a marinara sauce. I like barbecue sauce.
Natalie
He doesn't like mayonnaise, so anything that's made with mayonnaise, like a cream based sauce. Creamy. Yeah. He honestly doesn't even like Alfredo.
Nick
An egg white base.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
Or milk base. Well, isn't mayonnaise made with Alfredo? Yeah, fuck that.
Shane
And you worked at Olive Garden.
Nick
That wasn't a prerequisite. It wasn't like, eat this Alfredo sauce right now.
Cynthia
Yeah. You're not touring all of Italy, but.
Shane
Is in most of their dishes.
Nick
Like, although that was my first Olive Garden dish. The tour.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Yeah.
Natalie
Yikes.
Nick
Do you even know what the tour is?
Natalie
Don't you like, get all the.
Nick
Get a little slice of lasagna, which. I've never really liked lasagna. I think chicken parm.
Cynthia
You do get a chicken parm and.
Nick
A Pasta of some kind.
Cynthia
No, you get an Alfredo.
Nick
Yuck.
Cynthia
Isn't there another one?
Nick
Alfredo and lasagna and chicken parm.
Cynthia
Yeah, it's the tour of Italy, the lot. They're going to give us a little bit of everything.
Nick
I definitely substituted the. Why did I ever get the tour of Italy?
Natalie
Why? You don't like Alfredo and you don't.
Cynthia
You know, you can be friends with the cooks in the kitchen. Be like, hey, man, you know the.
Natalie
Way that whenever I was a server, I would constantly beg for free food back there? I'd be like, hey, you should.
Shane
I'd be like, hey, it's a one trade off.
Natalie
Should get that part of the deal.
Cynthia
I used to. When I was a busser in high school, I used to, like, order because we couldn't technically get free food. I would order a side of onion rings with my employee discount and then the line cooks would give me the full plate of onion rings.
Natalie
Wow. And just be like, we didn't see. There is no one who's going to compliment you more than the line cook.
Cynthia
So true.
Natalie
So, yeah, there's that.
Cynthia
Except a drunk guy at the bar.
Natalie
Or someone at a gas station.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Shane
To be a woman.
Natalie
But those are. But the bar and the gas station are creepy. And the line cook, it's like, hey, mama. Yeah, mama.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Natalie
Call me mamas. Yeah.
Nick

Nick
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So many great shows that we get to talk about later this episode, especially with Jeff. We got the reunion part three. That was a very giving reunion part three for OC. It was definitely the fuck Alexis episode.
Natalie
Hell yeah.
Nick
She's dead. That was. That's what I feel like. That last scene. That last scene was an Alexis burial.
Natalie
I've never watched a more disgusting, gross human being.
Shane
The audience is saying she's still alive.
Cynthia
She is still alive.
Shane
Has been decimated on the show during the third part of the reign.
Nick
That was a. That wasn't a housewife execution.
Justin
Yeah.
Shane
Her storyline, it's done solidified.
Cynthia
Her body remains.
Natalie
I've been on TV for 15 years. That's not anymore where. But also never again.
Shane
15, not 16.
Nick
Shannon posted her settlement. It sounds like she paid $60,000. Honest money well spent.
Natalie
Yep.
Shane
And the full settlement was 11, 21, 24.
Nick
I don't. Doesn't Bravo do like bonuses or whatever? Bravo, I hope. Bravo. I hope Shannon. Shannon earned her bonus. Yeah, absolutely. Earned this bonus.
Shane
So her Bonus should be 60,000.
Nick
No, it should be more than 60.
Jeff Lewis
Well, more.
Shane
But I'm saying it should cover.
Nick
They should add an additional. They should line item it calling it for the emotional carrying this episode season. Thank you, John. Yeah. Yeah.
Cynthia
Do you get workers comp for caring? You should.
Natalie
You should. Because you know, her back hurts.
Nick
Her back does hurt.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Nick
For sure.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
She was a goddamn delight.
Natalie
She was.
Shane
Salt Lake City was really good too.
Nick
It was.
Shane
And don't ever touch my phone is all I have to say.
Nick
I think my.
Natalie
On the phone she said, don't swipe.
Shane
I touched my phone.
Nick
I'm in the. I'm in the business of defending Whitney usually over Meredith, but she did grab her phone.
Cynthia
She did grab her phone.
Shane
I'm still defending Whitney. I just think it was iconic that she chose the kindergarten storyline of don't touch my.
Nick
Grabbed my phone like that. I definitely been like. I wouldn't react to like Meredith, but.
Natalie
If someone's dangling it in your face.
Nick
Yeah, I wouldn't have grabbed it.
Shane
If I can't hear it and you're throwing it in my face, I would.
Nick
Say, can you turn it up, please?
Shane
Yeah.
Nick
Well, my favorite line of the episode was Britney saying at the end, what about me?
Shane
Okay. But I actually embarrassing. But I was also like, you know what? Good for you. Good for you. Because she started that conversation. Everybody ignored it. Then I will say she said one sentence after and Was like, I really needed this conversation, guys. And I was like, that's embarrassing.
Cynthia
That's so relatable, though.
Shane
You made a.
Cynthia
Are you kidding me?
Shane
To not make a scene?
Natalie
And then everyone being like, well, then you should apologize to Bronwyn. And she's like, bronwyn, I am so sorry.
Justin
When she was doubling down, like, 10 minutes prior, she was like, no. Yep, I did say that. Nope.
Jeff Lewis
Yep.
Nick
No, it was more like, bro. And I'm finally ready to apologize for some of the things that I have acknowledged, some of which I disagree. You know, it's like, okay, what about.
Shane
Meredith saying, if you want to talk about the past, it's not going to be pretty. And then everybody was like, are you threatening me? And she's like, I never said anything about the past.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Nick
I said I didn't want to.
Shane
I don't want to talk about the past. And it's like, but you're the one who said it.
Natalie
Yeah. I felt like I was in a Twilight zone.
Shane
She's a drama queen. This episode for sure.
Cynthia
She said she didn't want to talk about the past. She was just making sure that people knew that it would be bad if she had to talk about the past because she didn't want to.
Nick
Mary, as the president of the. Meredith.
Cynthia
As the Meredith Fanco president, she did nothing wrong.
Nick
What did you think of her hair?
Cynthia
Awful. In the best way. It was giving Courtney cox and Scream 3.
Natalie
Yes.
Cynthia
Which is one of the most iconic haircuts you could ever have. It was like she tried.
Natalie
She tried.
Cynthia
She committed to the Audrey Hepburn of it all. She definitely was giving Audrey Hepburn middle school costume.
Natalie
Upset.
Nick
Well, she did more than Heather.
Natalie
She is rolling in her grave after seeing that.
Justin
Yeah, but Bronwyn slid Bronwyn's clip in bangs.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
The whole look. Yeah.
Shane
I think Meredith just needed to, like, snap the bangs a little lower. That was her issue.
Justin
They were a little high.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Natalie
What. What was Britney wearing?
Shane
She looked like a rock star.
Justin
She didn't get the medal.
Natalie
She had, like, a silk button up on.
Cynthia
Well, she got invited late, so she might have not been told about the theme.
Justin
Mary seemed the same invitation.
Natalie
Oh, okay, sure.
Shane
Angie K, though. She's my queen. Especially after this episode.
Natalie
And then also, we finally did watch Beverly Hills.
Nick
You did premiere. We didn't get enough a boss. Is it boss? How does she pronounce her name? They just. They went. They went straight to nickname.
Shane
Bosamin.
Nick
Saint Bosamin. Yeah, Bozeman. But I didn't like that. They waited, like, half the Episode to introduce her.
Shane
Well, that's typical. That's typical for. Because you don't want to start the new season with someone we don't know. You want to start it with the cast and then introduce them how?
Justin
We would meet them casually at a party.
Shane
Because then it'd be like, wait, is this Beverly Hills?
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
Wait, who is this? And why was everyone shitting on Dorit's hat when they're all in antlers?
Shane
I'm like, I like the hat.
Justin
I don't get that at all.
Nick
Well, I actually. That's what I thought. Well, two things. One, they're just bullies to be read. They're mean. They're mean. That being said, they're mean to my girl. No, no, I'm just saying. But. But she. She definitely, in classic Dorit style, like, didn't do the assignment and did her own fashion. Fashion. Fashion thing.
Shane
I don't think any of them really did the assignment anyways.
Jeff Lewis
Like, it wasn't.
Nick
Isn't it like a.
Shane
Like Salvador Dali? It wasn't. They all were just.
Cynthia
None of them were creatures of the garden.
Justin
I think Erica was the closest to Sarah.
Cynthia
She had the eyes referencing a dolly. Anyway.
Nick
Yeah, they're mean.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Justin
Erica's outfit kind of reminded me of all real monsters. Does anybody remember that?
Cynthia
It's a bodysuit with eyes on it.
Nick
This vibes versus stats segment of the Vile Files is brought to you by Wonderful pistachios. We obviously are recording this before the game starts, so we can't give you the final score. So in lieu of giving you the results of the games that we picked, we are going to go over things you should say to your professional football watchers at Thanksgiving.
Natalie
Did he get both feet down?
Nick
Number one.
Natalie
When they catch a ball on the sidelines.
Nick
Yeah. Anytime they catch a ball, ask did they get both feet down? Number two. Don't you think the touchback rule when they fumble is stupid?
Natalie
Anytime there is a sack, this is. When the quarterback is tackled before he has a chance to throw the ball, say he has to see the pressure coming pre snap and get the ball out quick, he has to see the pressure coming. And I. And I want you to perform. I want this to be an Oscar performance. When the offense gets a first down and they're past the 50 yard line but outside field goal range. Don't worry about knowing field goal range because a big red line showing it. Say, this could be four down territory.
Nick
What are you reading this from?
Natalie
This is how to fake football like a pro. Carmen Rose and Carmen Rose, I have. I feel like kind of stole the alley. But this was three years ago.
Nick
Oh, no. Maybe you stole Carmen's.
Natalie
But I never, I never saw. And what I did is I would go on Twitter. Yeah. And search hashtag packers because I know Nick does that all the time. And I would see like some of the tweets and be like, oh, that's niche. And I would text it to Nick and he's like, oh, my God.
Cynthia
Well, you're so hot.
Natalie
Amazing. And you're not like other girls. I'm quirky. I'm different. I like football. Yes, of course.
Cynthia
Just say, good hustle.
Nick
Good hustle.
Cynthia
Good hustle.
Natalie
Those refs Bonus. This is always safe to say before half time, but can also apply to the end of the game when there's a little over two minutes left on the clock. You can say, you can't forget they have the two minute warning.
Cynthia
So true.
Nick
That's good.
Natalie
So true. Oh, anytime the ref. This is one of my own. Anytime the ref throws, throws a flag down, I immediately say pass interference. Pass interference.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Natalie
False start, false start. Offsides, offsides. Those are just.
Nick
No, no, you should say, God, I hate those pre snap penalties. Say that.
Natalie
Ooh, yeah, that's good.
Cynthia
Those refs are paid off. That's a favorite.
Natalie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are some good ones, everyone. So take out your note app. Notes app. Write those down and while the game is going, read them off.
Nick
What's one more mat?
Natalie
La Flora is so hot.
Nick
Yeah, she used to say that. Anyways, just remember this holiday season, give the gift of wonderful pistachios. Be thankful this Thanksgiving.

Anyways, lots to get into with Mr. Jeff Lewis later this episode. Mary, can you explain to me? I like there's something everyone's talking about. Nicole Kidman accused of lying about some meme about Tom Cruise. I forgot they were Married. They've been divorced for so long, they've had, like, a couple marriages in between. I mean, Tom Cruise had a whole Katie Holmes kid. He did in between. So what? Why do people care?
Cynthia
Okay, well, thank you for asking, because this is what I've been building up for my entire life. Okay, so Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman married for a while. Married. While they were making Eyes Wide Shut, they get a divorce. There is this very famous.
Nick
And. And also. What's the movie? The car movie? Days of Thunder. Yeah, Days of. They were in Days of Thunder.
Natalie
Cars.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
He was. He was a NASCAR driver. And she was like, Tom Cruise.
Cynthia
Lightning McQueen, Tomator.
Natalie
You know it.
Cynthia
Nicole Kidman, Sally.
Natalie
You know it.
Cynthia
Yeah, we love it. She got that dumped anyway. Okay, but so Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise get a divorce. It was rumored to be a very, very toxic ending because of a certain thing that Tom Cruise associates himself with.
Nick
Scientology.
Cynthia
Yes. And so they're going through all of that. Nicole Kidman's leaving, and she. There's this very famous photo of her that we will put up that.
Nick
I've never seen this photo.
Natalie
You haven't?
Shane
I haven't seen it either. I will say.
Natalie
What? That's crazy. It's iconic.
Justin
You're on social media.
Nick
Am I though?
Natalie
You get the photo.
Nick
I always love it when people tell me to ignore the hate. And I'm always like, well, I didn't know we got hate until you told me to ignore it.
Cynthia
So basically, the photo of Nicole Kidman is very, very famous. I used it after I left my last job.
Nick
And this photo was a photo of her becoming free.
Jeff Lewis
She.
Cynthia
It is rumored to be, and widely accepted to be her leaving the court after her divorce was finalized from Tom Cruise. And she was just so hot.
Nick
Okay.
Cynthia
That she got to be free. And it's just this, like, image of freedom that people on the Internet use all the time, because we love Nicole Kidman. And then she goes and does this interview. Nicole Kinman loves the safe things. And that don't quite make sense.
Nick
Like, she's tired of orgasming. Orgasming.
Jeff Lewis
Orgasming.
Shane
You had it right.
Cynthia
Kind of the first one time. Orgasming.
Nick
Words are hard.
Cynthia
Yeah. Plurals are hard as well. One time she has, she had this quote where she asked Reese Witherspoon, reese, do you ever think about dying on the set of Big Little Eyes? So she loves to run her mouth. And she said that it was not actually from her divorce hearing. It was from a movie. But the Nicole Kidman gays did their research and were like, this does not add up. There was no movie in which you were wearing that costume and were filming at that time.
Nick
So it was only the Cole Kidman gays. Not. There were no straights.
Cynthia
There are probably some straights. But I would say the general people obsessed with Nicole Kidman are the fans. The fans?
Shane
Yeah.
Cynthia
The Nicole. The Kidman heads. Anyway, they said she's lying.
Nick
They're accusing their queen.
Cynthia
Their queen lying. They're accusing the mother of movies to be a liar. And I kind of agree. I think she's being like, that wasn't for my divorce. But it totally was. And that's.
Nick
I feel like you all don't want to let go of.
Cynthia
I don't know. As a. I've seen many a Nicole Kidman movie and I never remember her wearing that outfit.
Natalie
That is a very distinctive outfit. Yeah, it's an ugly outfit.
Justin
It's an ugly outfit.
Natalie
It's ugly and it's.
Nick
Weren't you like a film major?
Cynthia
Yeah.
Nick
Don't you know that, like, there's sometimes film shoot scenes that like, never make it in the movies?
Shane
He's attacking your attention.
Natalie
He's literally coming for your throat.
Cynthia
Okay. He doesn't know how well I did in school.
Shane
That is true.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
I'm just saying, as an accounting major who doesn't know shit.
Cynthia
They do have cutscenes.
Jeff Lewis
What?
Cynthia
Some theorize that it may be a cutscene from Practical Magic. However, she had a blowout in Practical Magic. A lot of it. So I don't think that that's true.
Justin
I don't think she was curly that whole movie, was she?
Cynthia
No, she was.
Nick
Maybe she was doing a short film for a friend.
Shane
Oh. That never got released.
Cynthia
About a divorce.
Shane
Yeah, maybe about anything.
Cynthia
I don't know. Or maybe she's lying just to have fun. Maybe she really doesn't remember and she's like, I don't think that's true. And now it's causing a stir.
Nick
That is. She definitely could be lying.
Cynthia
She could be lying.
Nick
Yeah.
Shane
I wonder what Nicole Kidman thinks about AMC issuing a warning that there will be no singing during the Wicked movies.
Nick
Thank God.
Natalie
I love it, honestly.
Jeff Lewis
Thank God.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
You know, you're ruining it. Like, stuff your mouth with popcorn.
Shane
But also, like, why not?
Justin
No concert? You sing along movie. Shut up.
Natalie
Yeah.
Justin
Unless it's a sing along version of the film you're there to watch.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
Unless you're at the Taylor Swift eras concert movie.
Shane
Right.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
It'll be on streaming four weeks. You know, Exactly.
Justin
You can sing at the top of your Lungs in your living room.
Cynthia
But also, I don't know. Can you not laugh at a comedy?
Nick
Not the same.
Natalie
No.
Nick
I don't know.
Natalie
It's a short bit. Wicked.
Shane
Or like a horror movie. You're screaming during the horror movie.
Justin
It's a short bit. It's a moment in time.
Nick
A natural verbal reaction.
Cynthia
What if your natural verbal reaction to.
Natalie
Ah, is this the same?
Shane
Yeah.
Nick
Then you should get the fuck out.
Justin
The entire theater is just gonna sound like a bad Tarzan moment.
Cynthia
Like, oh, no. And is that not a beautiful cinema going moment?
Justin
Not if I don't listen to Broadway gold, no.
Nick
You think that you are entitled to sing in public, but this is for.
Cynthia
Theater kids who are entitled in narcissist.
Justin
Then rent out the theater. Rent out the theater for your whole theater group.
Shane
If you have a good voice, go for it. No, no, just like turn the volume down a little bit so I don't hear you.
Cynthia
This is so funny to argue. I don't care about this at all. I think they should be able to.
Justin
Sing or like wait three weeks when everybody's seen it and you have a whole theater to yourself and pop off. But just not while it's a full theater. Nobody wants to hear you over Ariana Grande and Cynthia Rivas.
Nick
I'll tell you what though. I will not be going to see Wicked in the theater.
Cynthia
Oh, I'm going on Sunday night. Sunday night, 11:15.
Nick
Really?
Justin
Justin. And I have to get tickets.
Cynthia
And I will be saying, why is it feeling so sudden?
Nick
I felt this moment.
Cynthia
I laid up Sonia and no one else will hear me, but I will be doing it.
Shane
Okay, but question, and that's fine.
Nick
I would annoy the fuck out of me if I was sitting to someone, never whispering.
Justin
Somebody has like sensory artery.
Cynthia
I'll be around, like minded people.
Shane
Yeah, okay, but question though. Because I went to a concert last night and everybody was like in front and like kind of behind me. And like, to my, to my point, I'm like, but if you pay for the ticket, do what you want.
Justin
No, it's a concert, so.
Shane
But like in the movie, like if they're paying for the ticket, they technically do have the right to sing.
Nick
No, they don't.
Natalie
No, it's a little bit different.
Justin
I feel like a concert, you expect people to sing along and the artist is so loud that it doesn't really matter and everybody's in the vibe.
Shane
Yeah.
Justin
In a movie, like, do you sing.
Natalie
At musicals if you go on Broadway?
Shane
No.
Nick
Could you imagine?
Shane
I don't, but I don't have A good voice. No, but if Cynthia people.
Justin
No. Well, you will be removed from the same thing.
Shane
Yeah, that's true. But if Cynthia Riva was next to me.
Cynthia
Hey. I don't have a response.
Nick
I don't know. What would Ariana say at Chicago? Ariana. She'd appreciate it.
Natalie
She wouldn't. Did you see that Anne Hathaway will star in the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel Verity. I wonder if there's going to be some crazy Anne Hathaway versus someone else.
Nick
Is Justin Baldoni going to ruin that one, too?
Natalie
I don't know. I don't know who. They haven't announced who else is casted. So I don't know who else will be starring alongside Anne. But have you read she is a great. Yes, yes, I've read she's a great cast for this movie and I am curious to see who else will be plucked. I have seen, like, People's Dream and it involves Theo James, it involves Jamie Dorman, it involves Rosamund Pike.
Jeff Lewis
Love.
Natalie
Which are all great choices, so.
Cynthia
Well, I love an Anne Hathaway moment.
Nick
Why do people pick on her?
Cynthia
Because they're. Because she got set up at the Oscars one times with Jane Franco and it was like, really awkward and embarrassing and everybody just blamed her. There's a lot of moment and so there's a lot of residual hate.
Nick
There's a lot of hate.
Shane
Anne Hathaway recently, specifically, they're hating on the fact that she might have Botox work done.
Cynthia
Okay, well, it looks good as hell.
Shane
It does. I'm not saying that I'm part of.
Justin
That, but it doesn't in Hollywood.
Shane
Are you just because there was a scene from, like, some recent movie this past year where she was crying and someone put a comparison of her crying now to like, a comparison of, like, Princess Diaries or something and they're like, this is before and after Botox. Yeah, well, yeah. And I don't know if Princess Harry was the movie, but, like, that's why people right now have been, like, kind of hating on her.
Cynthia
Anne Hathaway, you've never done anything.
Shane
I love her entire life.
Natalie
If it was anything like Angie K's crying, then I would see don't come for Angie Kay.
Cynthia
Oh, my God.
Natalie
Anne Hathaway as Angie K. That crying was not good.
Shane
I don't think that was like fake tears for the camera. She was talking about her mother that passed away when she was 8.
Natalie
No, I don't think it was fake tears for the camera. I don't Think she was able to muster up the tears and was struggling.
Nick
What would you call this? I don't doubt when Angie talks about her mother around her dad that that content makes her sad, but I think that she leaned into her feelings and got herself to cry in that moment while sitting in front of her dad on camera, on film. And she tried to cry. She leaned into her emotions. What would you call that? Fake or real?
Shane
I think it's real if it's your emotions. If you're leaning into the emotion you're feeling, it's different. If you're like, I don't feel this, but I'm gonna fake cry for the camera.
Nick
Okay, fine. But I think she tried to cry.
Shane
I don't think so.
Jeff Lewis
I do.
Natalie
I think the only difference was the itm versus sitting in front of her father. There were two difference.
Shane
Well, and I will say she said this whole situation, she's like, I felt empty about something I shouldn't feel empty about. So I think she's already like, should I cry? Should I not cry? So I think her brain is kind of just between.
Cynthia
She feels like she should cry. So she's trying to make herself cry, but it's like, doesn't come now.
Shane
But also, is something so deep that you would be crying about your mother passing away?
Nick
There's a scene in my season of the Bachelor. I don't know if I ever said this publicly out loud, but there was a moment in the middle of the season where I. I was gonna quit the show.
Shane
You've never said this before.
Nick
I don't know.
Natalie
Breaking news.
Nick
Breaking breaking news. And I walked into a room with Vanessa and Rachel and Corinne and Raven and Danielle, I think, was still there. I was sobbing, sobbing, sobbing.
Natalie
He's a performer.
Shane
And were you leaning into that?
Nick
Oh, my God, yes. I walked out of the room and I said, how was that? What's the score of the Packer Bears game?
Jeff Lewis
Shut up.
Natalie
Oh, my gosh. Cast him in Verity, everyone.
Shane
Just because you're faked doesn't mean Angie K. Is shots fired.
Nick
No, that's true.
Cynthia
Do not call the mother of Electra cats and Nevis fake.
Shane
I'm sorry.
Natalie
I call the father of River Road.
Nick
Yeah. And I was. And I was sad. I was stressed. I felt bad. I just leaned into the emotions. But, yeah, they were fake tears. And then all the ladies were just crying. Cause I was crying. Everyone's crying. But, yeah, it was all bullshit.
Natalie
It wasn't eye drops that you used to make yourself cry. No, it was your real tears.
Nick
Real tears. I was sobbing. Sobbing.
Natalie
Have you ever done that with me?
Nick
No. Maybe. No.
Natalie
Been like, I just really want to watch football all weekend and smoke all.
Cynthia
The weed possible, please.
Natalie
You've never done that?
Nick
No, but I faked that scene.
Natalie
Wow.
Cynthia
You were method acting.
Nick
I was. I was. I was method acting. Yeah.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Natalie
Oh, my God, you're so talented.
Nick
Thank you. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I know all.
Nick
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, let's just. I feel like we love a tear, and I think these women are professionals, and I just think Angie knew the assignment.
Shane
Oh, she always does.
Nick
Yeah. And I just think she was like, let's figure out how to get some tears. I don't. You know, so, like, fake crying is real crying, but it's not like organic crying. It wasn't organic. That's what I was trying to say.
Shane
Maybe not. Okay.
Nick
I could be wrong.
Shane
Yeah.
Nick
And maybe I'm projecting. Maybe I'm projecting because I was. I was not organic crying either. That's what I want to call it. Or not organic crying.
Shane
No GMOs.
Nick
No. It was a Thursday night. It was a vegan cry. Packers were. Packers were playing the Bears on Thursday Night Football. They were wearing their all whites, and I believe that that's her next favorite uniform. And. And, yeah, they were. Yeah, they beat. They beat the Bears that night. And they had. All their running backs were hurt. I remember this. This is when I was supposed to be really crying inside because I was going to quit the show. And then they had to film this whole, like, scene with Chris Harrison the next day. And I, you know, by.
Natalie
You're supposed to keep crying.
Shane
Wait.
Nick
And I was supposed to be, like, still unsure if I was going to quit. I was like, guys, we're milking this. I'm. I'm not going anywhere.
Shane
You were going to quit because of the packers game? I was like, wait, wait.
Natalie
Stress.
Nick
I had just sent a D between so many women. I wasn't. Oh, I was just. This wasn't working for me. And I wasn't sure if I could keep going. And I wasn't sure if my wife was in the room.
Shane
Deep down you knew she wasn't. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
Deep down. Yeah, period.
Natalie
He knew she was on Instagram.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Shane
That is funny question for Nick and Natalie. Would you buy a $6.2 million duct tape banana for your house?
Natalie
Is that even a question?
Shane
Yeah, absolutely.
Justin
Unfortunately, in this world, yes.
Nick
A duct tape what?
Shane
Duct tape banana. So it's an artwork. And so, like, you know what? Sotheby's is. Right. So it's like one of the major. They do real estate, but also like artworks. Are the auctions that they do as well.
Nick
Art auction for the rich, essentially.
Shane
Yeah, basically. So at their contemporary art auction, they sold a piece by Maurizio Catzalan called the comedian made in 2019. And I looked up the background and just give it to you. So Maurizio is an Italian visual artist known for hyper realistic sculptures and installations. There's three editions of this banana artwork. It's a piece consisting of a fresh banana duct taped to a wall. And it comes with a certificate of authenticity and an installation. Instructions for owners to replace the banana if they wish, whenever it rots. So basically this past week it sold for $6.2 million.
Natalie
I hope the person who spent $6.2 million at some point in their life regrets that decision.
Shane
Well, so he said, the person who bought it, that it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, art memes and the cryptocurrency community, for sure.
Natalie
And I do hope that in a few years that they do regret that decision. And that excuse.
Shane
He was filming himself during the bid and it was like 1.3 that he put it up. He didn't get it, obviously, but I.
Nick
Feel like that was Leo knowing we've been to some. Is it fundraisers or foundations galas and yeah, there's an auction usually of some kind, and there is a. There's definitely people who, who bid on items knowing they're not going to get it, but they want to be part of the action.
Justin
I think about it all the time when I go to them and I'm like, I just want to raise it once. And I'm like, I know I'm going.
Natalie
To get stuck with it and be.
Justin
Like, I can't do 16,000 for this villa in Mexico.
Nick
I mean, listen, Leo clearly has. He has it.
Justin
Yeah, yeah.
Natalie
I want to be the one that people fight with, but then ultimately I get it.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
I was so close, upset, but they. I just got them up to $47,000. Here's.
Shane
Here's the thing though, for this is we all know Andy Warhol now. His pieces sell for like millions. Millions. Like it's essentially the same thing as a banana tape to wall.
Nick
No, it's not.
Shane
You want a canvas of a Campbell soup.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Shane
Over a banana tape. Towal.
Justin
Can I just make the duct tape banana myself?
Natalie
I think the fact that you have to change out the banana is like.
Shane
Well, it's an installation, but it's an installation.
Cynthia
It's like, you're having me work, you're giving me work.
Natalie
And not only do I have to spend 6.2 million, I now have to buy bananas for the rest of my life to replace my art piece.
Cynthia
It's a living, breathing piece of art.
Nick
I aspire to be able to waste my money on such things.
Natalie
Things we would never.
Cynthia
Justin, how does this relate to Dadaism?
Shane
I'm sorry, the burrito person spamming me right now. Can I answer, please?
Nick
The burrito person.
Natalie
I needed a burrito this morning.
Shane
Hello.
Nick
Can I ask them, please, is it the burrito that we like?
Shane
Are you outside or are you inside the hallway?
Natalie
But you would love it. No, it doesn't have any sauce in it. You would love it. It's really good.
Nick
I need some orange juice.
Natalie
Well, that's.
Nick
That's my snobby.
Justin
You can't have a bite without the orange juice.
Nick
Once you go cold pressed.
Natalie
No. Nick will spend $20 on a little tiny jar or freshly squeezed.
Nick
Freshly squeezed.
Shane
If that's what tickles your fancy.
Jeff Lewis
What it is.
Cynthia
I don't think a naval orange from California is ever going to truly tickle my fancy for orange.
Nick
I don't know if it's from California, but I just.
Cynthia
And how is it freshly squeezed if it's not from California?
Nick
You couldn't put an orange on a plane and then squeeze that.
Cynthia
Fair enough. But it's not local, Nick.
Nick
Well, it is. I didn't say it was locally squeezed.
Cynthia
Just saying.
Natalie
Is there straw?
Justin
Thank you.
Cynthia
Here's my beef with those types of straws. The cup is so small, yet the straw is so long. Why not make a smaller straw for a stroller cup?
Nick
I want plastic straws. I'm just going to put it out there.
Natalie
Feel that. That's not paper.
Nick
Not plastic.
Cynthia
It's plant based. It's vegan.
Natalie
It's amazing.
Nick
Is it vegan?
Shane
It's vegan straw.
Natalie
Where we keep referring to vegan because I am wearing a vegan leather jacket.
Nick
From Gap, which is another name for fake leather coat.
Cynthia
Genius.
Natalie
But marketing it as vegan leather is genius.
Nick
I just love. We love it when corporate America takes advantage of moral virtues. You.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, yeah.
Natalie
Here for it.
Shane
Soy based is all faux leather. Vegan though.
Cynthia
Yes.
Shane
Is it though like, think about it. Like some. Not real leather, but some practices may involve like horse or animal to like produce.
Natalie
But then it wouldn't be vegan.
Nick
It wouldn't be vegan.
Shane
Well, like. Well some people that consider like quality vegan.
Nick
Quality vegan.
Shane
Like if this is vegan, like to some People to some considerations, like if you use. Let's say this is very, like, extreme, but like a cow to transport the faux leather, then that's no longer vegan, you know?
Justin
Okay. Vegan leather.
Shane
That's what I'm saying.
Justin
So not all polyurethane.
Nick
I'm guessing Gap did not. You can't fully verify in Google if this coat was made without inconveniencing any animals.
Shane
Right. Well, I'm saying this is vegan, but I don't think every faux leather is vegan.
Cynthia
Is glue still made from horses?
Shane
No, but, like, stuff like that. That's what I'm saying. Like, there's some processes that.
Nick
But I guarantee you the gap is not.
Shane
Oh, this is vegan. I agree.
Nick
No, it's not vegan. Well, I think we're saying the same thing. Well, you're saying not every faux leather is vegan. And I'm saying. Yes, is. I'm saying they decided to market. Maybe they're just calling it vegan leather because it's not real leather and they're hoping for all the suckers who will feel better about it being vegan that they're going to buy it because it's vegan.
Shane
I agree with this.
Nick
Yeah, Yeah, I think.
Shane
But also, leather isn't vegan.
Nick
Based on what?
Shane
Like, there's some ingredients and like, let's say, like glue or whatever that evolve animal product.
Nick
I'd be willing to bet that's just fake leather and that's why they're calling it vegan leather.
Natalie
It does say on here fake leather. Yeah.
Justin
Yes. All faux leather is vegan, meaning it's made with. Without animal products.
Shane
Well, there you go. I'm proven wrong.
Natalie
Yeah, easy to say.
Nick
I bet they could have used glue. I bet. I bet you're right. And they're still calling it vegan leather.
Cynthia
Is Elmer's glue vegan or is Elmer.
Justin
Elmer's does not use a horse.
Nick
Oh, thank God I can sleep.
Shane
Did you see that John Stamos kind of responded to the whole, like, bald cap?
Nick
I did, yeah. And I hate that for him. I hate that he had to feel like he had to do that.
Cynthia
He was just trying to do a funny little bit with his friends.
Nick
Yeah.
Shane
This is after Dave already.
Nick
Also, I hate that he had to waste any emotional or mental energy while fighting cancer dealing with Internet trolls who, like, are so bored with their lives, they need to, like, shit on this moment.
Shane
Yeah, well. And John specifically said he wanted me to come shave his head. I knew before. So I brought the ball cap from the studio flew across the country to be with my brother. Regardless. I'm so shocked. First I'll say I'm just embarrassed and they're embarrassing, but when I started seeing this blowback, I'm just like, what? I couldn't figure it all out. I still don't know 100% what they should be doing instead of making silly little videos.
Nick
Nothing.
Natalie
John, he's no, he's saying what they should be doing instead of making silly little videos or doing comments. They should call their doctor, make an appointment. I think that's the whole point of all of this. It's been Dave's message.
Shane
Thank you for finishing that.
Cynthia
You're welcome.
Shane
Toys R Us is developing a new reality competition series at Fox that will see families competing inside a large, larger than life toy store that will integrate a range of nostalgic and popular toys and games from classic toy brands.
Natalie
I feel like it's giving like old school Black Friday maniac, you know, like chaos where everyone's like, I need that 70 inch TV and it's.
Shane
What's that one? Game show. Supermarket suite. Yeah, they remade it recently, but like the OG One that was like really big.
Cynthia
Guys, grocery games. Ye. Is the giraffe from Toys R Us going to be in the show?
Shane
He has to be.
Cynthia
He has to be. He's the star.
Shane
Does river have Toys R Us toys?
Nick
No.
Cynthia
Didn't it go bankrupt?
Shane
But it still exists in like Target.
Nick
Toys R Us, when I was a kid was like this mythical place that my parents couldn't afford anything.
Natalie
Yeah, I never went to it either.
Shane
Expensive.
Justin
When my grandma would take me, it was like as the sliding doors opened up and it was just like, what.
Jeff Lewis
Aisle do we start on?
Shane
You would have loved Babies R Us, though.
Natalie
My niece, who honestly could have anything in the entire world, she's. And she's been to toys. The place that she freaks out about is Walmart. The toy aisle at Walmart, it is big. If her mom is like, we're gonna go to Walmart. She's like, seriously freaks out.
Nick
Great value.
Cynthia
God, a Subway at a Walmart has gotten me through so many tough times.
Shane
Subway in a Walmart?
Natalie
Yeah, Subway in the Walmart.
Cynthia
The Subway in the Walmart.
Nick
That's where you went when you were depressed?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Natalie
No, it's like you're grocery shopping and like, oh, I'm hungry now. Might as well get a foot long.
Nick
The Subway out of Walmart or a Starbucks at a Target.
Cynthia
You know, I'm from Subway in a Walmart culture.
Shane
So I like a pizza Hut in Target. That's me. Those are good. They taste better than real Pizza Hut.
Cynthia
Ooh, cookie dough from a 711 that got me through college.
Shane
I don't know about that one.
Natalie
But I didn't know about that one.
Nick
Hot dog from a hot dog.
Natalie
Diarrhea immediately.
Shane
They are. But, like, they're worth it. They're worth it for the one time.
Nick
It'S a hot dog.
Justin
I love a hot dog.
Cynthia
You're talking to someone. That doordash Taco Bell last night, you.
Nick
Mean to tell me. You mean to tell me from the stadium is in better condition than the 7 11?
Natalie
You doordashed a contract crunch supreme last.
Cynthia
Night and a Doritos taco while watching the Real housewives of love.
Natalie
Doritos Locos tacos. Nacho cheese are cool. Ranch nacho cheese.
Shane
Wait. Doritos. Dorit Kemsl tacos. Wait, that's a sponsorship. We need Doritos.
Natalie
Dorit needs.
Jeff Lewis
She should.
Cynthia
She would wear it beautifully as a hat.
Shane
She would. A giant.
Cynthia
That little triangular. That's fashion.
Nick
Fashion, fashion.
Natalie
Or like a late texts Dorito's bag. Dress.
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Nick
Have we heard anything from Dorit or Dorit fans about our confession?
Natalie
Nick's like, does she want to or no?
Justin
Your confession or our confession?
Cynthia
Is she down?
Nick
Yeah. Is she down?
Shane
I'm sure she is.
Cynthia
Will mom talk ever recover?
Shane
That was good. That was good. Well, speaking of housewives, so I've started binging Potomac to catch up. I know Sierra's been watching it. I just want to propose this idea because it's interesting. Watching reunion part three of OC That Karen Huger, which is the grand. The grand dame, the GR Dom.
Nick
What do you mean?
Shane
That's just her name. She's the grand dom of, like, kind of like the countess.
Nick
The fact that she has that name.
Shane
Iconic.
Justin
And Shannon has one.
Natalie
Duchess of Carmel.
Justin
Yes.
Shane
Yep. Grandam. She got a DUI as well. She's part of Potomac. She's been there for a while.
Nick
Was it a hit and run sitch?
Justin
A tree.
Shane
She had a tree. But I don't think she ran. I think she's.
Nick
Did.
Shane
She ran. I guess we don't. Well, we don't know because every time they bring it up on the show or she's questioned, she's like, I'm not going to talk about it. I'm not talking about it. Wait for court. Wait for the court. But then every time someone brings up the court, she's like, why are you talking about it?
Jeff Lewis
Why would you do that?
Nick
So she's not taking Accountability on tv.
Shane
Well, it seems like she's trying to pose it as, like, my accountability is.
Justin
That I'm handling it, I'm dealing with it. You guys don't need to talk about it. But, like, this is the shadiest cast.
Shane
With a smidge of like, I'm innocent.
Justin
Yeah, the truth will come out.
Shane
Yeah.
Justin
But we can't speculate. But, like, they'll throw parties and whatnot and be like, oh, Karen, we got you a non alcoholic drink named after yourself. Or, like, bring up the fact that she. She, like, butt dialed them while intoxicated. Like, throwing a lot of stones at her while she's pretty much saying, don't talk about.
Shane
There were two housewives that were giggling, being like, we need to take her to rehab now.
Nick
They want to eat a burrito.
Natalie
The egg's gonna be cold, guys. An egg's cold is not good. Have you ever had a cold egg?
Shane
I have.
Nick
Go eat your burrito.
Shane
No, Go eat your burrito.
Natalie
Y'all continue talking about Potomac, and I'll be right back with Jeff Lewis.
Shane
That was good. That's good.
Cynthia
Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Shane
Anyways, so the reason I thought about this. Thought about this is because Ashley Darby just, like, filed for the divorce, and that's also a storyline, but Karen Hooger, to me is a bigger storyline of Potomac that I feel like.
Nick
So she's taking a not a Shannon Bedore approach.
Shane
Not a Shannon Bedore approach.
Nick
She's not going into the season being like, I did that shit. I was wrong. Working on myself, healing, Trying opposite. Yeah, she's pretending it didn't happen.
Shane
Well, she's not pretending it didn't happen. She's more like, I'm not going to talk about it until the courts talk about it.
Justin
Exactly. Until.
Nick
So she's trying to fight it, and she doesn't want to implicate herself.
Shane
Well, she keeps saying the truth will come out. And that's where it's like, are you. It's giving a little Erica Jane. I'm the victim. I'm innocent. Because she's a repeat offender.
Nick
Well, I mean, she is.
Shane
Yes.
Nick
Oh, my God. Yuck.
Shane
Yeah, it's messy. But I love Karen.
Nick
Do you, though? I don't.
Jeff Lewis
I do.
Nick
Can't say that I do.
Shane
She's good outside of the DUI context.
Justin
Truly.
Nick
Was this Shannon's first dui?
Jeff Lewis
Yes.
Shane
Yes.
Nick
If Shannon gets another dui. I am. I will. I will be the end of Team Shannon. We should have made some Team Shannon T shirts that we wore.
Cynthia
Only if there Was a team Joel. One for me.
Shane
We'll get you one. We'll get you one representation.
Cynthia
Thank you.
Nick
We should start making. When we cover these shows, we should start making the merch of our respective positions.
Shane
Okay?
Nick
Like, you should get a team Meredith.
Justin
I need team Bronwyn.
Cynthia
Oh, you guys, I have very sad news about the Meredith Marks bath bomb.
Shane
Wait, breaking news? Yeah, but you go. This is the breaking news.
Cynthia
Okay. My friend Andra, Shout out. Audra, love you. Went to the Century City Lush to see if there were any Meredith Marks bath bombs, and they were all sold out. And apparently it was a single time limited release.
Shane
So the breaking news was that. So we know the whole Bath Bond drama of it all. Meredith Marks, like, four days ago. So a week ago, she posted, like, her holding a snowflake, but it's, like, glitched out. And she was like, coming soon. And I immediately ran to Mary and I was like, look at this, look at this.
Jeff Lewis
And we both started freaking out.
Shane
And then you. You, like, go to the next slide and it's like, click link. And it's Lush.
Cynthia
Yeah.
Shane
So she released a Snowflake Lush bath bomb in response to the whole bath bomb drama of it all.
Jeff Lewis
Smart.
Cynthia
But then it was only available for, what, like a limited run?
Shane
Yeah.
Nick
And she made three just so she could say she sold out.
Cynthia
I had this whole idea I was gonna get one for myself, I was gonna get. My friend was gonna get one, and then we were gonna get one for the show, and then they were completely gone.
Nick
We could DM Meredith and ask for Meredith.
Cynthia
I have been nothing but kind to you.
Justin
I can get them online.
Cynthia
You can get them online?
Natalie
Snapchat.
Justin
Snow. Snow place like Salt Lake.
Cynthia
I thought when I clicked they were not available.
Shane
Oh, that's not bad.
Natalie
Wait, they're available?
Justin
3.3 ounce.
Shane
The ice cream was $12 a pint, so that's a good price.
Justin
And it has a quotation, a quote from Meredith saying, everyone knows bass are my thing.
Nick
$12 a pint seems like a lot.
Shane
It was a lot. But it's Housewives. I was like, you gotta pay. What? You gotta pay.
Nick
Yeah.
Cynthia
Wait, did the Lush employee lie to my friend?
Shane
Well, this is online, so there's more.
Justin
I was gonna say I'm able to order five, and I just did.
Nick
There's a Lush employee order a trunk full of snowflake bath bombs.
Cynthia
Guys, this is the best.
Justin
I know what everyone's getting for Christmas.
Nick

Jeff Lewis
Yep. You don't wear headphones. You don't want to mess up your hair.
Natalie
Well, I was wearing them all morning, and then I get kind of a headache, you know?
Jeff Lewis
I see. Okay, well, maybe they're too tight.
Natalie
They probably are too tight. Or I just have a really small head.
Jeff Lewis
Do you guys clean the mics and the headphones when you're done?
Nick
We do.
Jeff Lewis
No, that's, like, a thing for me. The radio.
Natalie
You're like, get rid of it.
Nick
Because sometimes you don't do it. Or you do do it.
Jeff Lewis
We. I make them do it, but because there's been a few times where I'm like, you smell it?
Nick
You smell it on the mic?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, there was a few times where I smelled. I'm like, you guys need to clean this.
Nick
Do you. Was there a gas. Who left the strongest odor?
Jeff Lewis
Well, it used to. I don't know who it was, but it used to be Radio Andy's the same studio, and we have. I feel like we have less people now than we did, so I feel like there was two shows before me or something. But yeah, or. Or you know what? It was probably the night before.
Nick
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. I think your smell's okay.
Nick
That would be Natalie.
Natalie
Oh, no. Oh, no. Is it?
Jeff Lewis
You have good breath.
Natalie
Okay. Thank you. We did clean it also. So you shouldn't.
Jeff Lewis
You have really nice breath.
Natalie
Okay, Natalie. Okay. Thank God.
Nick
Welcome to the show, Jeff.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you.
Nick
Good to be with you.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, we already started.
Nick
Yeah, we already started. This will be in the episode for sure.
Natalie
Okay, everybody.
Nick
Jeff Lewis. Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Sorry, I thought we were off the air.
Nick
I've been waiting to have you on my show for a while.
Jeff Lewis
Are you serious?
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I don't know what took so long.
Nick
You're a big deal.
Natalie
Yeah, you are a big deal.
Jeff Lewis
You know what? I wasn't doing podcasts, actually, now that I think about it, I wasn't doing any podcasts. I really wasn't doing a lot of radio shows, but I have recently decided to do the bigger ones. Congratulations.
Nick
Thank you.
Natalie
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Because they're good hits for me. But I think the problem was is that, you know, press will pick up things I say, and I'd rather they do that on my show.
Nick
I could not agree on your show now.
Jeff Lewis
Sorry.
Natalie
Yeah, no, not the same way.
Nick
Don't apologize at all. I'm. I'm quite particular which other ones I do just because it's kind of like. Well, yeah, why don't you say this shit on my show?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. So I'm going to wait till Monday.
Natalie
Perfect. He's going to sit here in silence.
Jeff Lewis
And not speak, but you guys can.
Nick
Talk once in a while.
Jeff Lewis
Lala.
Nick
I might. I think I might do Lala soon, you know?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, yeah, she's great.
Nick
She reached out and I was like, I love Lala. Okay, fine. I'll do Lala's.
Natalie
Did it take Lisa Barlow calling us the podcast for you to come on?
Jeff Lewis
No, I heard of you guys before I did two teas, which is that Isn't a urine under your umbrella? No. I thought you guys were successful.
Nick
Yeah, we have Humble Brag, which we just launched with Cynthia and Crystal, and.
Jeff Lewis
Who knew that that would be so successful? I love them. They're both on my show a lot, but I would never really pair them together. And it was such a great pairing. And I. I think I just read they were like the top 10 new podcasters.
Nick
Yeah, we love that for that.
Jeff Lewis
Congratulations. So you guys are. You both are getting a big cut of that?
Natalie
Well, I don't know if I am.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, look at that ring.
Natalie
Oh, well, yes. It's the Instagram brand deals. You know what I mean?
Nick
Yeah, that's where it's going, Jeff. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Wow, that's gorgeous. They're working on what Bragg is pay.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I need a podcast network like you guys have.
Natalie
It's Nowhere near Jen's, but.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, Pedranty.
Natalie
Yes.
Jeff Lewis
Yes. It's beautiful. Was she on your, Was she on the podcast?
Nick
We have not had Jen.
Jeff Lewis
Can I tell you?
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
You're going to love her. You're going to love her. She's very different, really, than what is perceived. I think on the show she's been on twice. My listeners love her. She's great with Katie. I think they're both the two of the best housewives, newest housewives we've seen in a while. Really? Yeah. But I also like Bronwyn.
Nick
Okay. We're very high on Broadway.
Jeff Lewis
But I do not like Todd.
Natalie
I don't love him either.
Jeff Lewis
I do not like Todd.
Natalie
I don't.
Nick
We, I, I, I invited us to go to dinner with Todd and Brin.
Natalie
Oh, great.
Jeff Lewis
So I think, Todd, hopefully you're driving yourself and you're not relying on them.
Nick
We will make sure we have our own ride.
Natalie
They're like, we'll put you in a city cab on the way home.
Jeff Lewis
My theory is she's planning her escape.
Nick
Rowan.
Jeff Lewis
I think she's becoming. My theory is that she is creating financial independence and she's going to bail. That's going to.
Nick
But she doesn't need financial independence. She doesn't have a prenup.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, she doesn't?
Nick
No. That's like, all Heather will fucking talk about.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I think she's on her way out. Who wouldn't be?
Nick
I don't know. We had her in here last week and she spoke.
Natalie
She seemed very in love of her.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, she's in love.
Natalie
She seemed pretty in love.
Jeff Lewis
Not by the last few episodes, I would agree.
Natalie
I think. And I think she's been like, you should watch this back. And he's like, what's wrong with that?
Nick
My only criticism of Jen pedantry is that saying her last name right.
Jeff Lewis
That's fine.
Nick
Whatever. Jen from OC Is that she's just a bad judge of character with some people. She seems lovely. She seems like a really nice, sweet, cool hang. It's just like, you know.
Jeff Lewis
Why are you talking about Ryan?
Nick
Yeah, have you met him?
Jeff Lewis
I have met Ryan. I liked Ryan. I thought he was very personable and very friendly. And I mean, I don't know. I mean, you got to respect somebody that takes in five kids and supports them.
Natalie
And that is true.
Jeff Lewis
You know, and he opened up his home when she lost her home. And I don't know. You got to give a guy respect. I just want to make sure that.
Nick
That home's not going anywhere.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I Mean, look, I. I don't know what's happening. I have no idea.
Nick
But I really appreciate the context around Jen because we haven't met her, and it's always nice to hear people who have met the people we sometimes talk about on the show.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I don't like, you know, they, they. They make her sound dumb. Like, I don't think she's a dumb person. Meaning the castmates will refer to her as dumb. And I don't like that because, you know, I've met her and I fucking. I found her to be very bright. I think you guys will, too.
Nick
Tell us more about Katie.
Jeff Lewis
I think Katie is extremely bright, articulate. I think she's no nonsense, you know, in regards to the Orange County. Did she make a few mistakes? Well, she's a rookie. Of course she's going to make a few mistakes. But, you know, I think what you should be talking about is this craziness that happened on the reunion last night of oc, which I don't know if you know, but I was kind of involved in all of this. Like Shannon Bedor and, you know, the night of the dui. I obviously was privy to all of that information because we're close friends. But I'm the one that said to Shannon, two weeks after the accident, I said, I don't see. You know, I was kind of piecing it all together, and I'm like, I don't see how he didn't hear the accident because. And I. I brought this up before on my show, but I've been to that house and the front door, so it's on the water and the garage. Garages on the street. And then you walk all the way down the side of the house to get to the front door. So I was going through the timeline in my head because Shannon said the accident happened right away. They got into argument on the driveway. The accident happened almost immediately. And I was like, Shannon, I don't. I was thinking about this. Like, I don't think he was in the house. Like, I think he was still outside when it happened. And that would have been a very, very loud crash. And the fact that he. I said, I don't see how he didn't hear that. And I said, but I don't know for certain.
Natalie
Right?
Jeff Lewis
But it's possible he could have got into the home before the crash if he ran. That's what I said today. I'm like, if he ran, I guess he could have got into the home quickly. But then is the house so quiet that you wouldn't hear a big accident outside.
Natalie
Like, I hear a car door shut in my house from outside. So it's like a car crash.
Jeff Lewis
True. I hear like every neighbor's dog barking, everything. So I'm the one that brought that up. And they wanted me to go on OC Housewives and talk about it.
Nick
Why didn't you?
Jeff Lewis
But they wouldn't because Bravo would not indemnify me. And I was worried because John Janssen is obviously clearly so litigious. And, you know, I'm very careful with my words. I don't know. I don't know if he heard it or didn't hear it. Well at the time. I didn't know if he heard it or didn't hear it and whatever. I just didn't understand how he couldn't and how he got to the front door so quickly. So it turns out that as you know, if you watch the third part of the reunion, I didn't even see this. Shane told me this morning on the way to work, and I was like, no fucking way. Where he apparently, allegedly. We didn't hear this out of his mouth, but he allegedly admitted to Heather. To Heather. And Tamara. And Tamara that he heard the accident. So I feel a little vindicated because we've been talking about this for months and months and months and months and. Oh. So I didn't go on OC Housewives because Bravo would not indemnify me. And justifiably so because, you know, right afterwards he had sued her for the, you know, the alleged loan, which now has been settled.
Natalie
What. Correct me my timeline, because were they. Was the bridesmaids dresses party that they went out to dinner at after. And John Jansen told them this. Allegedly told them that he heard the crash. Did they go to London after that?
Jeff Lewis
I don't know because Shane's shaking his head. No, I haven't. Okay, after the finale.
Justin
Yeah, Remember there.
Jeff Lewis
The finale. Okay. But then Shannon found out after the reunion. Right. Okay. It's insane. I mean, I just. Because I just found out this morning and my head is still spinning. And so I called. That's why I called Shannon. I'm like, I. We were right this whole time. I knew it. I knew we heard it and then. But it's still. Okay, now we know they were outside. Okay. So that apparently they were both on the driveway. Now I know exactly where. Which house, which was only like three houses over to the right. And apparently he sends. He hears this big crash and allegedly sends his daughter to go investigate. Yeah, I don't know we were talking about this today. I.
Nick
You know, and apparently he's so traumatized by Shannon almost post hitting his allegedly. Allegedly ring camera video possibly get over what Shannon did.
Jeff Lewis
I see.
Natalie
Yeah, the videos, the videos, the videos.
Nick
They kept talking about the videos and I'm just. I don't give a. What's on the video. I don't.
Jeff Lewis
I just think if you're dating anyone, I think if you, if you witnessed an. Well, because I had that accident. There was that accident, Laurel Canyon, that I just kept going. But there is, I think in more normal circumstances, if any of you, if I witness, you know, a car accident out front that you were involved in, I would go and help someone even if they were my enemy. I know you're going to bring up the Laurel can. That's Shane. He was my assistant, but he changed his title to chief of staff. It's fine.
Natalie
Oh, I love that.
Nick
Do I need.
Natalie
As you should.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. He's chief of staff.
Natalie
Presidential.
Nick
Fun.
Jeff Lewis
You keep bringing up Laurel Canyon. Because I did witness an accident on Laurel Canyon. There was a guy on a scooter, he did crash on Laurel Canyon and I just felt like it was too dangerous for me to stop.
Natalie
Yeah, Laurel Canyon is a very windy.
Nick
You shouldn't be sobbing.
Natalie
Too lame. You know, Hawaiian Hill people are going to hit me.
Shane
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And they're driving too fast.
Natalie
Way too fast. Way too fast on their phones down the hill.
Jeff Lewis
By the way, this guy on the scooter, he hit a pothole and then like crashed to the right like a.
Natalie
Lime scooter type of thing. Or like a moped.
Jeff Lewis
You know what? I'm embarrassed for him because I think he actually owned it.
Natalie
Oh yeah.
Jeff Lewis
I think he actually owns the scooter and rides it on the regular.
Natalie
That's unfortunate.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. You know, you kind of felt sorry for him.
Natalie
No, of course. And so you're telling people that you saw this ride wreck and didn't stop.
Jeff Lewis
I made the mistake of telling it on radio that I witnessed the wreck but someone else pulled over. So I knew that he was taken care of.
Nick
Did you catch heat?
Jeff Lewis
You know what? You know, it happened so fast and I would have to like pull over and yes, I would have to pull over and back up on Laurel Canyon.
Natalie
And then maybe you could possibly get hit. And then that's two accidents.
Jeff Lewis
And I just got my car and it's like.
Natalie
And you were hungry. You hadn't had lunch yet. You needed to get to the restaurant.
Nick
It was just wash. Well, my car.
Jeff Lewis
Is like the first edition and I Waited a year for it and I'm like, I can't risk someone hitting it.
Natalie
Exactly. No, it all makes sense.
Jeff Lewis
I love that car.
Natalie
I watched you on watch what happens live when you absolutely roasted Roni because I feel the exact same way that it sucks. It's terrible. They need to end it. It feels so overproduced. Do you still stand by that? Watching more episodes?
Jeff Lewis
So I self produced. I love Real Housewives of New York City because I can see its potential. And so because people are like you, that's your favorite.
Nick
When are they going to reach it?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, well, it might take a little longer. I just, you know, I think they're amazing characters, actors, and very interesting women.
Nick
I completely agree with that. They seem like sophisticated. I want to be friends with all of them.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know about all of them, but I'm friends with a few.
Nick
But they seem like they're just not messy enough and they're just not problematic.
Jeff Lewis
Because they're too self edited. Yeah, they are messy. They're all messy. I promise you. They're all messy.
Nick
As a person. Lisa Barlow, not my fave.
Jeff Lewis
I don't.
Nick
Haven't met her, but as she projects on the TV screen.
Jeff Lewis
But she's one of my absolute. She's pretty much our queen, don't you think, Shane? Top tier.
Nick
As a housewife or as a human being?
Jeff Lewis
Both. Yeah.
Natalie
We need to meet her. We need to meet her. We need to have her on.
Jeff Lewis
Are you actually going to really like her?
Natalie
I believe, honestly, that happens all the time. Every time you meet someone, you're like.
Nick
She pitched herself to come on the show and then was like, but I don't want to talk about the show. We're like, well, then we don't want you.
Jeff Lewis
What's she going to talk about? Tequila.
Nick
Yeah, exactly.
Jeff Lewis
She'll talk about the show. She talked about the show with us, didn't she?
Natalie
Yeah, at length.
Jeff Lewis
At length. She'll talk about the show. Show.
Natalie
That's funny.
Jeff Lewis
I would have her on.
Nick
Well, Lisa, you're welcome to come.
Natalie
Yeah, I don't know if she will now since everything has transpired with Whitney and all of that. But anyways, back to Ronie. How do you feel about this whole prank thing that Rebecca started? The rumor.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I'm not. I'm not okay with it at all. At all. With. With the pranks. I think it just. It kind of sent us like on a tailspin for like, what, two episodes? And then it turned out and I was. I'm invested, so. I'm invested, so Then now I'm like, oh my God. And then it' you just feel like the rug got pulled out from underneath you. And then now I don't trust them. And now how do I know that in episode nine whatever they're talking about even is real? Because you already pranked us once. So they, they've lost my trust.
Nick
They pulled the curtain back almost.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. But I think that's a producer error.
Natalie
But it was also like they had this idea of let's find the mole which was like, could be kind of a good idea. But then you told everyone it was a prank.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Natalie
And then they all acted like it wasn't a prank.
Nick
So you see its potential. Paint us the picture of Roni at its peak. What does that look like?
Jeff Lewis
Who's doing what? I have changed my mind about bringing in a few OGs. I think maybe. What if we brought in. What if we got rid of a couple and then we brought in a couple OGs to shake it up?
Nick
Who are we killing? Quote unquote.
Justin
And who are we bringing in?
Jeff Lewis
We have to get rid of Rebecca. Right? We have to. I mean I'm sure she's a nice person.
Nick
She seems lovely.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
But she doesn't want to talk about Scientology unless she wants to promote it. And it's like eh.
Jeff Lewis
Actually she's okay. So I'm friends with Aaron and Sai and yeah. UBA just came on the show so they're three. But she's also very self edited Rebecca and she has, I mean I get it. She's got a big business, a lot to protect. The are you doing on Housewives?
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And I don't get that. I just, I, I cuz I've been around for a long time. I know I look young, but I've been around for a long time. And they. I always, I'm always perplexed by the people that have money and that just want to do this for fame. Most of us are hustling to make a buck.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And that's why we do this. I could give a shit about fame. And actually I. When flipping out originally started, I remember my business partner at the time, you know, we would have these discussions. I'm like, do you think I want to be the front man? Like I'd love to be you. I'd love to be you and come in for a few scenes here and there because I was taking all the heat and then. And take 50% of the earnings. That's what was happening with my business partner. But he actually we. He ended up Wanting the fame, but I just, I just wanted money. That's all I really want is money.
Natalie
The same.
Jeff Lewis
The only reason I'm even going back to Bravo, the only reason I'm going back to Bravo is for the platform. The platform which by the way will hopefully bring people, listeners to the radio subscribers to Sirius xm. It's a commercial for the radio. That's why I'm doing it. Really want to.
Nick
Jeff Lewis needs your money.
Jeff Lewis
Jeff Lewis, we need your money.
Nick
All of us.
Natalie
But Rebecca.
Nick
Rebecca doesn't need our money.
Natalie
Rebecca doesn't need our money. Well, I think she does need us to like buy her purses.
Nick
And she says $100 million business. What more. Yeah. After $100 million, I'm out.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, I can't imagine them bringing, your bringing back. Bringing. I mean, there were times where she would show up in a scene. I'm like, oh, yeah, she's on the show. That's not a good sign.
Natalie
Yeah, that's not, that's not. So Rebecca would go, do you like, like Bryn?
Jeff Lewis
Okay, here's the thing. There's. I personally don't like Bryn, but. Oh, but I can separate myself. Right. I can, I can be like, okay, I'm a viewer and I really kind of enjoy hating this person. And I think I would miss hating this person as a viewer.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
So I personally don't like her, but I'm not going to eliminate her on because of how I feel personally.
Nick
What does she do to you?
Jeff Lewis
I think you have to have a villain. Yeah. I think you have to have a villain.
Nick
Have to at least one.
Jeff Lewis
Right. And I think she's become a villain.
Nick
What did she do? Why do you hate her?
Jeff Lewis
Do you not watch the show? Your show, not my show. Don't care about New York. New York. Are you watching it?
Nick
We're watching it. I mean, I have checked out before.
Jeff Lewis
She's. She's two faced, she's lying left and right. She's exaggerating. She's completely divisive. She's spinning stories. She's taking, she's doing damage to what are good relationships. Yeah. And I don't like that she's purposely coming in between friends.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And I don't like that kind of behavior. Although I do it every day on the radio.
Nick
What's the difference between.
Jeff Lewis
I don't like it when other people do it. I can do it.
Natalie
Yeah, of course.
Nick
What's the difference between that and what Lisa does?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, you think Lisa's divisive.
Nick
It's never Lisa's Fault. I've never seen Lisa ever been like that.
Jeff Lewis
She has an accountability issue for sure.
Natalie
For sure.
Nick
Like Bron. It's just like she shows up and she's kind of like, yeah, whatever, fuck it. I say, shit. It's never Lisa's fault ever, ever.
Jeff Lewis
That is true.
Nick
And the whole like, I don't fly coach is not in prison, you know?
Jeff Lewis
Okay, but. All right, I don't.
Natalie
You don't fly coach.
Jeff Lewis
If I have to.
Natalie
No, no. Say it.
Nick
No, I will. But, like. But you're not.
Jeff Lewis
On a short flight.
Justin
Sure.
Jeff Lewis
On a short flight. If I have to.
Nick
Well, you don't love it, but Lisa puts on this performance as if it's beneath her and she won't possibly do it. And it's all seems to be. But she did do it to project her wealth.
Jeff Lewis
I want to go home. So for me, like, I don't want to fly to LA and spend the night in la and, you know, if I were her, like, I want to go home. I don't care. Like, put me in row 45. Am I going to love it? No, but I want to go home. So I'll. You know, my. My preference is when I book a flight that I get business or first, but if I can't and I really need to get home or I really need to get someplace and I've got to take, you know, that particular flight, then I'll fly coach. Just fortunately doesn't happen very often.
Nick
Yeah, but I feel like, what.
Jeff Lewis
What.
Nick
What would I. What would you say to me saying Brynn seems like the only one working?
Jeff Lewis
Is she working?
Nick
Well, it seems like, I don't know.
Natalie
She'S stirring the pot.
Nick
It seems like she is trying to create the drama that we're.
Jeff Lewis
I thought you were talking about working.
Natalie
Work, like talking into her nine to.
Jeff Lewis
Five that I'm confused about.
Nick
But yes, you're right. Cuz it seems like you're right. You're right about all those things about Bryn. She's doing all these things and I just feel like, you know, it's like an. Like an improv. It's like you. It's like you make a joke and then you want your partner to. Yes. And you. And like, no one's. Yes. Ending Brynn, you know, because she's messy and everyone's just kind of like, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
That'S why I'm not getting rid of her. Yeah, that's why I said I'm not getting rid of her. I'm leaving her.
Nick
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
I actually don't think Jen is adding but people do.
Nick
This is so cool.
Jeff Lewis
I like Jessel. I would keep Jessel. I'm keeping Eren. I'm keeping uba, I'm keeping Sai. I'm keeping Jessel. I'm probably getting rid of Jenna. I'm gonna leave Brynn just so we can have a villain. Sure. And I do think if you brought in an OG like Dorinda, I think she would just devour her in one in the very first scene, and I kind of want to see the carnage. Yeah, that'd be good.
Natalie
That would be so good.
Jeff Lewis
So maybe I'm bringing back, like, Dorinda and the Countess and, like, one other. I'm not sure which one, because I don't think it would be Sonia. No. I just find her to be very messy and a liability.
Justin
What about the Countess?
Nick
Luan?
Jeff Lewis
Yes. She's on my list. Countess for sure. Countess and Dorinda. Maybe I'm bringing back, like, three OGs.
Natalie
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
And getting rid of, like, two or three.
Natalie
Have you pitched this idea to Bravo and they're like, we're not doing that or.
Jeff Lewis
No. You know, Andy and I were actually talking about it because I was on watch what happens last week. We were talking about it, and he said, you know, I'll be honest with you. He said. He goes, you know, a lot of people are missing the OGs. I just don't know how that works. Ramona lives in Florida, you know, Sonia lives in Florida. Like, logistically, how do we do this?
Nick
You can ask him to move, but.
Jeff Lewis
He also loves the new cast, and I think he's like me, where, you know, you can only fake it for so long. For me, it lasted literally two weeks. Literally two weeks. Like, I was trying so hard to protect myself, and it's exhausting, like, thinking. It's exhausting, like, thinking about what you're going to say before you say it.
Natalie
Oh, yeah, I couldn't.
Jeff Lewis
It takes a lot of brain power, and I was. I found myself very tired. So finally I was like. After two weeks, I was like, fuck it. I don't care.
Natalie
Do you remember season one when all they fought about was the cheese?
Jeff Lewis
Yes, I do remember that.
Natalie
Like, I just need them to, like, hate each other a little bit.
Jeff Lewis
I'm not ready to pull the plug on them. I'm not ready.
Natalie
Okay, okay. So are you ready to pull the plug on Alexis Bolino?
Nick
Have you met her?
Jeff Lewis
Yes, actually. It's a shame because. Because Alexis and I were friendly, and actually, she attended one of my live events, and we, like, hung out backstage. This was Pre. Pre, pre everything. And I actually really liked Alexis, and it's a shame because I had. I had to choose sides, you know, and I hate being in that position, but I had to choose sides. And I'm very close with Shannon, and I actually didn't like the situation either. So even if they were both really, like, good friends. Friends. I don't like the situation.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
It feels like episode part three was like the death of Alexis Bolino on Bravo. Bravo.
Jeff Lewis
All right, so I'm not going to criticize anyone, but I noticed that you have a lot of people working here and not one person brought water that I had.
Natalie
It's right there.
Nick
Right there on your feet.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. You're getting a little. Oh, you're getting a little taste of what it's like to work for me.
Natalie
Messy.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you for the water, whoever brought that.
Nick
Do you need anything else?
Jeff Lewis
I'm good. Yeah, I'm really good now. Thank you.
Nick
I did fan Luan while she was here.
Natalie
Yes, you did.
Jeff Lewis
Did you really? Yeah, I love her. She's such a great time. Yeah, she's actually. She made a big impact on my life.
Nick
Say more.
Jeff Lewis
I've had her on my show a few times, and after the show, I was in New York and I said, let's go to lunch. And we had. I wouldn't say it was a boozy lunch. What. What constitutes boozy? I had two drinks. Is that boozy? I don't think two drinks is boozy, but whatever.
Natalie
If you don't finish the first one. Not boozy.
Jeff Lewis
It's a business lunch.
Natalie
Sure. Tax write off.
Jeff Lewis
It's two lunch.
Nick
Did you feel lighter after lunch?
Jeff Lewis
I started talking to her because, you know, about her life and you know her perspective on things now. I mean, she's all about, this is the second half of my life life. This is, you know, I'm just going to have fun. I'm not going to do anything I don't want to do. And living in the moment, taking all these opportunities, and I'm like, I am. I need to, like, take a page out of that handbook. And I really have been consciously doing things that I don't really want to do, but I do it. I'm like, God, I had fun, or. And I'm really trying to create more balance in my life.
Natalie
Are you saying yes more?
Jeff Lewis
I'm saying yes more.
Nick
I do feel like every adult at some point or life enters in like a curmudgeon stage where you're just kind of a.
Jeff Lewis
You get grumpy that was the first part of my life.
Nick
Yeah. And then. And then you realize that maybe I could be a little less grumpy.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. I could be more fun. I'm less stressed.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Than I was. I think a lot of it had to do. I was a, a young kid. Well, I thought I was young, but I was, you know, I was in my mid-30s and I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. And I had so much stress that no one that age should have. I had all these employees at all of these contractors and subcontractors that were relying on me. I had multiple homes, I had investors, I had bank loans. And it was, it was almost a little. It was probably a shell game really, where I needed the money out of this house to then put in the second house and the third house. It was so much pressure and stress. And I think that had a lot to do with how I behaved. And so now, you know, financially, things are calmer. And I always talk about this too, I think to chase that, let's just say someone's making 50,000 a year and that was never enough for me. Like, I always wanted more and more and more and I would take on things that I really shouldn't do to make another five or ten grand. And I realized to make that other five or ten grand, it was killing me. And in the, in the end, it really didn't change my life. Making that extra 10% didn't change my life and I had no balance whatsoever. And that is really, truly the reason why my, my long term relationship failed is because we weren't investing in the relationship. It was all about chasing work, chasing money. And I think we both had a little fear of scarcity. And I came from a family that was somewhat affluent, but there was a lot of. My dad was an entrepreneur and there was a lot of up and downs and so it wasn't like, consistent. And with him, I think it was the same. And so we were always afraid to turn down business, but when we did that, we took on too much and at the toll of our relationship. And honestly, not just our relationship, friendships, family relationships, you just weren't investing at all. And that was probably one of the biggest mistakes that I have made. And so now it's hard for me though. I turn things down a lot. Much like this podcast, I, I turn.
Natalie
Things down that you wouldn't leave me alone about. So if I.
Jeff Lewis
Right. So I, I think that was, that's been my biggest mistake in the, in the past. And I just, I also Wasn't. I didn't have the emotional tools to deal with anxiety and stress. So I would act out. Obviously, there's 11 seasons of it. I would act out every which way on every person. And innocent people. Some were not innocent, but some. But a lot were. And I remember my reactions were so big because I just was like, I was already on the brink, ready to explode. So I don't know. I bet this next show is going to be boring. I mean, I'm still a little eccentric, but I don't blow up like I used to.
Nick
I think. I think it shows growth, you know, I think it's kind of weird when we see, I think TV, they made TV different back in the early 2000, you know, and if you're going to come on TV now and act the same way, it's kind of like.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I will say, too. I. You know, I worry because I'm good friends with Pat, with Patti Stanger. I don't feel like she has evolved. And I work with her, too. I love Patty. I love Patty and I love her character on tv.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But people aren't that way anymore. You can't. I mean, I used to do it. Don't get me wrong.
Nick
But you would, like. Like Patty.
Jeff Lewis
No, mis. You know, I would kind of mistreat people. I would speak to people. You know, it was not very favorable how I spe. I spoke to people. And I will say I mistreated people.
Natalie
And how would you have asked for that water before? Like, you were like, I just will say you have a lot of people working for you. And like, no one brought me.
Jeff Lewis
But see, isn't that passive aggressive?
Natalie
And it was a little. But like, I feel like it was definitely nicer than where's my fucking water?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Like, where's the. Where's the water Asked for. What the fuck.
Nick
Patty would do that.
Jeff Lewis
But I'd be like, how many times I have to ask for water? You know? Yeah, whatever. Patty would do that.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
You know, Nick hosted her revamp of.
Jeff Lewis
I know I was on it.
Nick
I didn't film with him there.
Natalie
Oh.
Nick
But I do remember filming with Patty and apologizing to a lot of people. I did nothing to. For Patty.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Yeah. So I think you, you know, we got rewarded for that behavior back then.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And it's a different time. And you can't get away with that stuff. Stuff anymore. You just can't. You have to. You have to evolve. And, you know, I think she probably. Again, dear friend of mine, I think she has a big heart. She's always been good to me, but I think there needs to be some evolving.
Nick
It's fair.
Jeff Lewis
We'll leave it at that.
Nick
Yeah.
Natalie
And do you think Alexis Bolino is evolving?
Jeff Lewis
I think she's blindly defending. I hate saying Johnny J because I know him as John Jensen.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Because I.
Natalie
But I feel like Johnny J is. He can't sue you because it's Johnny J. You know. Oh, right. It's a way around it.
Jeff Lewis
No, no, I. I think, well, anyone.
Nick
Could sue anyone for anything, so.
Jeff Lewis
But I. I just.
Natalie
They weren't talking about him.
Jeff Lewis
And honestly, the old guy and the. This thing that. He looks good, though.
Natalie
He does look good.
Jeff Lewis
His new teeth looks pretty good.
Natalie
His new teeth look pretty good.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, I have to. I have to give him that. He does physically look good in some of those confessionals. Again, I don't agree with the situation. I don't. If. If he did indeed hear the actual accident, which we didn't hear this from him, though. That's a way to be careful about.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
So this is just hearsay. So you got to be careful about that.
Nick
Allegedly.
Natalie
How did you feel about Heather twisting the Shannon on your show, talking about the whole. Did she hear the crash and making it.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I was upset for Shannon because, you know, she did tell her that in confidence and then she leaked it to the rest of the group, but then the rest of the group saying that they already knew about it. There's always, you know, gossip and leaks and, you know, you can never really trust them at all not to repeat things. But I think what really bothers me, which has sent me reeling today, and this is why I called Shannon, because apparently, you know, Heather and Tamron had this information for months and they just did a three part reunion. Why was this not brought up? And why, like, what was the goal and the motive of omitting that information?
Natalie
Yeah, it is weird, especially when the.
Jeff Lewis
Whole season is about it.
Nick
The whole season.
Jeff Lewis
And now you get. You have the smoking gun. You got the smoking gun and you choose not to say anything even during the reunion. And then the only reason that they pick, you know, Shannon found out because she ran into them at a restaurant afterwards. Did you know about this?
Natalie
Oh, after they filmed the reunion.
Jeff Lewis
They filmed the reunion. She goes to stake 48 with a couple of people and they run into, I think John Jansen was there, Alexis was there, Heather was there, Tamara was there, and I guess Heather. She spoke to Heather. Heather. And then Heather spilled it.
Natalie
Took in the middle of the restaurant pretty much. Wow. Like, it Was nothing.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. And then I don't know if I'm allowed to say how all goes down, but they ended up picking cameras back up.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
And someone called somebody.
Jeff Lewis
Somebody called somebody. Yeah. And notified them. And then they were like, what the.
Natalie
Like, we gotta set a scene.
Jeff Lewis
We gotta do this. I don't know why you would not.
Natalie
Yeah. Do you trust Tamra after.
Jeff Lewis
It puts me in a bad. This puts me in a difficult position because I'm friends with Tamara, but, I mean, I'm gonna ask her. Like, I'm gonna hear out, like, why would you never. Why would you not repeat this information?
Natalie
I mean, I think they gave the whole. Like, we just didn't ever know when to bring it up. It was just such a big.
Jeff Lewis
Well, you could have brought it up in part one, part two, or part three of the reunion. That would have been a good time. Or at the finale. That would have been a good time, too. Or the episode before that.
Nick
It felt like Tamra, especially given her performance all season long, that she just was almost decided she wasn't going to participate at the reunion. And no. Was almost kind of like, didn't know what to say. So she said nothing at all. She was pretty mute the whole reunion.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Well, I heard a rumor back. I heard a rumor she took. She was on Xanax. So she wouldn't.
Justin
So she wouldn't react.
Jeff Lewis
And I'm. I'm going to start doing that. Honestly, you should have given me a Xanax before I walked in.
Natalie
Yeah.
Nick
She was like, oh, I got a hug and everyone's crying because I did something right. Great.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. That's because she was an. She was an unusually calm Tamara.
Natalie
Do you think they're all going to come back next season or you think Alexis is going to be. I don't see how her storyline continues.
Jeff Lewis
So as a viewer, I kind of want to keep them.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But it's like. I mean, I feel like I'm betraying my friend, but again, I can separate. There's. I'm friends with them off camera. And then I'm also in this avid viewer fan. So I kind of like hating them. You need someone to hate.
Natalie
You do need someone to hate.
Nick
Do you think Shannon's king.
Jeff Lewis
We can go back to hating Heather. I did that for years.
Natalie
If you take.
Jeff Lewis
But then we made up. But now I don't know. Like, now I want to know, why didn't you help out our friend here?
Natalie
And why did. And why did you bring up something from 10 years ago for Katie? Yeah, that was weird.
Nick
Heather's miscast on oc.
Jeff Lewis
You think it's.
Nick
It's hard for me to watch someone tour their mansion, talk about their money, and then her have Heather listen to Jen talk about not being able to afford rent? It just puts. It makes Heather look bad. And I don't expect Heather to pay for j. Jen's rent, but it's like, you shouldn't be hanging out with poor people if you're so rich.
Jeff Lewis
I kind of like seeing the opposite extremes, sure.
Nick
But it just always puts Heather in a bad light.
Jeff Lewis
Heather puts Heather in a bad light.
Nick
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
I don't want to cause any problems because we're good, but look, I'm responsible for the things I do and say, and I own it. And I get dragged every fucking day of the week. And I'm used to it. I piss off somebody every single day, and I'm responsible. But we get. You know, I'm immune to it at this point. I was trained for this. I mean, I. There is literally nothing you can say about me that hasn't been said.
Natalie
Do you read or listen or go looking for what people say or. You are like, kind of.
Jeff Lewis
I live in a bubble.
Justin
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And it is a. And I talk about this all the time. It is a very happy place, my bubble. So I don't. I don't. I'll read my Instagram comments, but I don't go. I will stay. I stay away. We have all these, like, fan, you know, pages and things like that. I stay away from all of them. I don't read Reddit. I don't even want to fucking hear about it. So. So I do just live in a bubble. And it's really a very nice place if you want to visit.
Natalie
I would love to visit. When is it available?
Jeff Lewis
We're not concerned about what happens outside the bubble.
Natalie
I love that.
Nick
I love that we have a similar bubble.
Natalie
We do have a similar bubble. It's just us and our daughter.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I think when you're public people and you have a big platform, I think you're going to be open to more criticism and trolls and all of that. I'm. I also can, like, own what I do. Sometimes people are wrong, but sometimes, I mean, I might get a negative comment. I'm like, well, yeah, might be right. You know what I mean? But I don't want to give them the satisfaction. But, yeah, I'm like, well, okay, it could be a little of that.
Natalie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nick
We're. You're just an entertainer.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Natalie
This is all a bit.
Jeff Lewis
I don't let it ruin my day, my life, my, you know, I just don't, I don't let it do that because you, you know, if, if you really go down, down that road, the Reddit, Reddit is awful. But if you could, I mean, you could just ruin your whole day weekend.
Nick
I've seen it ruin people's lives.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But I've said this over and over. It was the best advice Andy Cohen gave me. It was within the first two weeks of flipping out airing and I was, people didn't. They misunderstood me or they probably understood me. And it was a lot of negative. And Andy's like, stop, stop reading. Yeah, don't believe the good. Don't believe the bad. Bad. And ever since then, it's been a nice bliss. Yeah.
Nick
It handcuffs you creatively.
Jeff Lewis
I have no idea what's going on outside this wall.
Nick
There you go.
Natalie
Nothing.
Jeff Lewis
No spark.
Nick

Jeff Lewis
I'm feeling good about it.
Nick
Okay. Yeah.
Natalie
Nick wants to invite D to have threesome with us. It's very interesting conversation that happened on air for the first time.
Nick
I just have a small crush on her.
Jeff Lewis
She's hot. But you think she'd be good in bed?
Nick
I haven't gotten that far in the fantasy.
Natalie
You haven't thought about it?
Nick
Yeah. No.
Natalie
He asked. He thought about if they would be compatible or not.
Jeff Lewis
So I'm thinking no. I don't know. Do you?
Natalie
Well, she has been dealing with pk so I can't imagine he is anything.
Justin
And she's letting loose like she might be a good time now.
Natalie
She might be a good time now.
Jeff Lewis
She's not my favorite. Again, I like watching her.
Natalie
Who is your favorite on Bev Hills?
Jeff Lewis
Okay. Name that. There's. I like Kyle. I like Kyle a lot.
Natalie
Sutton.
Jeff Lewis
I love Sutton. I love Garcelle.
Justin
Erica.
Jeff Lewis
I like Erica. I don't know Erica very well. I feel like I could like her, but I don't know her very well. I do hang out. I probably hang out the most with Sutton and Kyle. Kyle I see frequently. Well, kind of somewhat frequently. And then who else is on there?
Natalie
D and Garcelle, Erica and both the new one. Boseman. Friend up.
Jeff Lewis
I like Kathy. Yeah, that's. That's kind of it, really. Again, I don't really love Dorit personally, but I like watching Dorit.
Nick
Have you met her personally?
Jeff Lewis
Yes. She's blocked me on Instagram. I don't know what I said. I don't know what I said. But, yeah, she's blocked me.
Nick
I hate that. That doesn't make me like her.
Jeff Lewis
I don't really care.
Natalie
I kind of wish you remembered what you said.
Nick
He probably doesn't even know.
Jeff Lewis
I tried to invite her to a party, and then I'm like, it's not going through. And then I'm like, she blocked me. Why did she block me? And then I ran into her. Bravo, con. I'm like, hey. She was walking really fast, like, to her next event, and I was, like, walking behind her, and I said, hey, Dre, you blocked me on Instagram. She's like, yeah, I probably did, because you probably said something shitty. And then she kept. And I laughed, and then she kept walking away.
Natalie
That was it kind of iconic?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, it was kind of.
Nick
That's better.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. Because I was like, yeah, I probably did.
Nick
I'm kind of impressed by her response because a lot of people in her position, I would have been like, did I? And, like, played dumb. Like, they don't remember.
Jeff Lewis
She knew it. She probably knows exactly what I said too.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
But, yeah, that was kind of a funny exchange.
Natalie
That is funny. I have a house project for you at our house if you wanna.
Jeff Lewis
Where do you guys live?
Natalie
We're here in the Valley.
Jeff Lewis
How many kids? One.
Natalie
One.
Jeff Lewis
How old?
Natalie
Nine months.
Jeff Lewis
Ooh, yeah. Baby, baby, baby, baby.
Natalie
What's your daughter's name?
Jeff Lewis
Monroe.
Natalie
Beautiful.
Jeff Lewis
Thank you.
Natalie
Wow, she's.
Jeff Lewis
What did she just turn? She just turned eight. Just turned eight.
Natalie
Is she. What's her personality like? Sassy, quiet.
Jeff Lewis
She's sweet with me. She's good at school. She's very good at school. She's stubborn. She's strong. Very strong, Very stubborn. Very opinionated.
Natalie
Does she get that from you?
Jeff Lewis
Has no issue with. Conflict with me? Has no problem, like, taking me on.
Natalie
Perfect.
Jeff Lewis
And. And she did yesterday over and tell me if there's something wrong. So I understand. I keep calling myself a new parent, but it's been eight years, so I can't really. I can't really use that excuse anymore. But I'm still trying to figure out, like, I've never had an eight year old.
Nick
Yeah, that's true. Every year. Every day is new.
Jeff Lewis
So I am kind of a new parent that way. So on Sunday, she was not behaving well, I don't say. Because I made the mistake before on the radio of saying she was being a little bitch and people got really mad at me.
Nick
Oh, boy. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
So now I Don't say that anymore. So I'm to say that she was misbehaving. She wasn't listening. She was not cooperative. And I. All I did was. I said, look, today wasn't great for you. I said, I'm going to rate you a five out of ten. And she was so mad, she's like, well, no one's perfect, and that is average. I said, actually, it's not average. I said, you got five out of 10, which is 50. 50%, which is an F. I said, you did not pass. And so. But then we start arguing about it. She's like, well, I don't. I mean, what did I do? What did I do? This and that. And so she's still so mad at me about rating her, but this is what happened last yesterday. So I pick her up, we go to the new house. We have a house under construction. And then we go to El Pollo Loco, which I love.
Natalie
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
She didn't seem to love it, but I loved it. And I just want to say. So I dropped her off at her other dads, and I said, hey. And by the way, she was. She's been really pissed about me rating her. She's like, I can't believe that as a piss parent, you would rate me. And who does that?
Natalie
Who?
Jeff Lewis
Ra.
Natalie
She shamed you.
Jeff Lewis
She's eight. Yeah. And I'm like, is this really that bad, like, to rate? I'm like, I'm rating her behavior.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
And so after all of this, because she came, I picked her up from her dad's. He probably coaches her because he hates me.
Nick
She probably went home and said, dad called me a five.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. And by the way, he texted me about it. And I'm like, to be clear, I. I was not rating her appearance because she's fucking gorgeous. Like, she's a 10. Obviously, I said I was rating her behavior, and I don't see anything wrong with rating your behavior. So she came in hot when I picked her up yesterday, and she immediately starts with the rating again. I'm like, we're having this conversation again. And then. But when I dropped her off, I'm like, hey, I had a lot of fun with you. I said, I'm going to rate you a 10 out of 10. And she's like, thanks, Daddy. So as long as I rate her, well, we're good. She just doesn't want a bad grade.
Natalie
Listen, she's studious, but do you think.
Jeff Lewis
There'S anything wrong with that in my life?
Natalie
No, I don't at all.
Jeff Lewis
Rating your Kids behavior.
Natalie
Yes. It's like, listen, you were bad today. You get an F. Well, my ex.
Jeff Lewis
Sent me a not so nice text about it, and then he put us on a group text with her therapist.
Nick
Oh, boy.
Jeff Lewis
She's parent shaming me.
Natalie
Oh, my God. Is a therapist. Like, we need to.
Jeff Lewis
What I love about her, she doesn't even respond because she's like. She's probably like, I'm not your marriage counselor. Like, I. I talk to your kid once a week. You know what I mean? And I always, like, think, why hell are you putting us on a group text and complaining about me to our child's therapist? Get your own therapist.
Natalie
Truly.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
Co parenting, that must be tough.
Jeff Lewis
It's called parallel parenting. There's no. There's no co parenting happening between he and I. Nothing. Yeah, but. Yeah. So he tries to suck her in, but she doesn't respond.
Natalie
So are you the favorite?
Jeff Lewis
I don't know. I really don't know. I don't think. I think she. Honestly, I think she dislikes both of us. I mean, I. And I understand why. I do.
Natalie
I get it.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. We're both, like, fucking nightmares.
Natalie
That's funny.
Nick
Do you think Kyle's gonna be more open about her life this season? Are we gonna have to still do.
Jeff Lewis
The whole, like, you're not a lesbian?
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, no, I don't want to. I, like, we're friends, and I sent her an orchid when I called her a lesbian. I made it. It was a joke. Joke.
Natalie
An orchid.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, that's my thing. I send. I send orchids. Or now books.books.com. it's real easy. It's inexpensive.
Nick
So you go to your friend's house, like, what did Jeff say about you? Now.
Jeff Lewis
I send a lot of flowers because I'm finding that is that which we should do. I apologize a lot, but flowers tend to do it.
Natalie
Okay, are you apologizing on air or are you, like, texting them? Being like, sorry I said this.
Nick
And do you know for sure. Sure. If they are listening to your show? Because I find what happens more often.
Jeff Lewis
Than not, you're going to say is.
Nick
You will say, I don't know, something kind of benign. Maybe there's a small criticism baked in with a bunch of praise, but some annoying fan who wants to protect whoever the fuck. Let's say it's dorit in this case. Well, then DM d and say, do you know what Jeff Lewis said about you?
Jeff Lewis
It's just stirring, Karen, and you're absolutely right. And it gets people all fired up and Now I just respond. It's probably Bryn. And I, I, I now respond. Did hear the show? Yeah, No, I didn't hear it, but I heard from blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, well, this is what I said. And I encourage you to actually listen to what I said because this has been exaggerated and twisted. I don't know how many texts I respond to a week where I'm like, did you hear the show?
Natalie
Wow, you piss a lot of people off, huh?
Jeff Lewis
Yes, I do. But sometimes it's un, I think, like, the criticism is unwarranted because they didn't hear it Right. And that's not what I said.
Natalie
You said it with love. Also.
Nick
Also, no, but not. No. I don't even think he said it. He said, yeah, context version.
Jeff Lewis
We need a support group for podcasters. You know what? We should, we should get on a group text. It's called Monroe's Therapist.
Shane
It's called long.
Nick
It's called. It's called Long Form Tears.
Natalie
Talk about this week. We'll talk about the rating next week. Can we talk about how people don't listen to the actual show and then just send highlights?
Nick
Just listen to clips. Why don't you listen to a whole episode?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, but that happens all the time. But I do send a lot of. Sometimes I do say, yeah, a lot of times it is me, and then I apologize.
Nick
Have you ever responded? You're welcome for talking. Talking about you.
Jeff Lewis
No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't do that. Yeah, no, but I don't. You are I not. I'm actually. Look, if I'm trying, Look, if I'm trying to, like, make amends, that's probably not a good idea.
Nick
Sure.
Jeff Lewis
And I've always, I get, you know, callers. I disagree with you. You did this. I really, I, I try to listen to.
Natalie
That's great.
Jeff Lewis
You don't take callers.
Nick
He does not on, on our reality TV type of stuff.
Jeff Lewis
So we do take callers. And some people are mad at me about what I said or did, and I listen. And some, you know, sometimes I agree with them and sometimes I don't agree, But I don't know, I don't, like, go after people. I just, I'm very calm about it and listen and. Because I have respect for my listeners. So I'm never going to, like, berate somebody publicly because you disagree with me.
Nick
Well, we invite people to disagree.
Jeff Lewis
I do, too. I always point of the show. You're right. Whenever, Whenever I see. Because we have screeners and they like, type. They'll type with calling about if they're ever mad at me. I always take that call.
Nick
I just want.
Jeff Lewis
I actually love it.
Nick
Yeah. I just want to care.
Jeff Lewis
That's kind of my favorite part about the show.
Natalie
Wow.
Jeff Lewis
Are the hate calls really.
Natalie
You're brave.
Jeff Lewis
Usually people like that, that call in really angry, they kind of hang themselves. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, sometimes you just give people rope. Like, if you just kind of sit back and, like, are calm, you kind of give them rope and they just kind of hang themselves.
Nick
They can't possibly be angry at you. You know what I'm saying? That's the thing. It's a projection of something else.
Jeff Lewis
Right? Right. Well, sometimes they can be, but sometimes it has nothing to do with me and they're mad about something else. So I don't know what happened yesterday. I didn't know what happened. Somebody had sent me a text because it was a funny bit that we were doing on the show where we gave an 8th grade spelling bee to somebody who, like, really, like, really failed. Really failed. And so we thought it was so funny. And then, like, some guy was calling me like, you're a motherfucker. You're a douche. You're this. How could you do that? And so today I got a text during it, and someone was like, oh, my God, I'm going to throw myself off a bridge. Bridge. B, R I D G, E. Because we were doing a spelling bee and I thought it was funny. So I read it. And then today I had a call which I did not take, which is like, don't make fun of suicide. Like, you know, And I was like, I'm not going to take that call because I already know what's going to happen. They had some sort of personal story and that joke, and it was a joke. No one's jumping off a bridge. But they were going to make it personal. And I just was like, okay, that's. I'm not going to take that call.
Natalie
Can't do it.
Jeff Lewis
No.
Natalie
Did you take Meredith Meredith Tiffany's bangs personal? Because I did. Meredith Meredith her Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's. Salt Lake City. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And Keep up, Utah. They're currently. They were at Mary's house having a breakfast at Tiffany's.
Jeff Lewis
I'm behind. That was this week, really. I catch up on the weekends.
Nick
Can we bring up Mary's bangs?
Natalie
You have to see Mary artist bangs. They are.
Jeff Lewis
Wait, they're not real, though, right?
Natalie
They're not. They. They got them all off Amazon. Bronwyn participated as well.
Justin
Bronwyn killed it.
Natalie
Bangs.
Jeff Lewis
Bangs are tricky in general. Not a lot of people can carry off bangs. Very, very, very few people can do it. I've seen it done. But it's most people cannot do bangs.
Natalie
I agree.
Jeff Lewis
I, I could.
Natalie
I agree. I'm just kidding. I, I, but you're like, but you could couldn't. I couldn't. Nick couldn't. I had them when I was younger.
Jeff Lewis
You do have a very pretty face.
Natalie
Oh, thank you.
Jeff Lewis
I'm just trying to think how bangs would look on you.
Natalie
Ugly.
Nick
She would make anything good.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, well that's a good answer. How long has been together?
Nick
Five years.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, wow. It's working.
Natalie
Yeah, it's working. We have an age gap.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, oh. How old are you? Can I ask?
Natalie
I'm 26.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. How old are you?
Natalie
44.
Jeff Lewis
Well, that's not that big of a deal.
Natalie
Thank you.
Jeff Lewis
I had a date last night. Shane's not happy about this. He thinks there's too much of an age gap. I had a date last night and he is my fifth. 54 hot. 26 hot. Was a little young, little young, little young. And I was like even going into it, I was like this is never going to work.
Nick
What did you guys talk about?
Jeff Lewis
He's actually very bright guy, A very bright age. Graduated SC executive at NBC.
Nick
Okay, okay.
Jeff Lewis
Well traveled from New York like. And honestly, you know what I thought you should be calling him daddy. My ex was 43 and I was thinking to myself as this, as this guy was talking, I was like, you are smarter, more mature and more successful than my ex who is in his 40s. That's what I was thinking to myself.
Natalie
So is there a second date or.
Jeff Lewis
I think there might be a second date.
Natalie
Despite Shane.
Jeff Lewis
Shane thinks he's too well because he's younger than Shane. I said, your stepdad's going to be younger than you. Because Shane's like my son. He's been with me for four and a half years but we're extremely close. He's my right hand man. We became came close because I hired him and he moved out here and two weeks later we were shut down because of COVID and he had to move in with me because really at that point the sources of income dried up. So I had to continue made sure we do radio. We were actually lucky because we could still do construction. But not every client wanted me in their house. So I was going to say that most clients were like, no Covid, we don't want you in my house. But there were a few that were like, no, we want to get this house done. So I had still had that source of income, but radio was important. So I was so afraid. I didn't know what was going to happen. I'm like, shane, I don't know how to work any of this equipment. I'm like, you got to move in. Because we never knew what was going to happen. But fortunately, the house was big and you lived on the other side. But we did, you know, we. We went grocery shopping together. We went to the dry cleaners, we went to the liquor store a lot.
Nick
Babe, you forgot to ask Jeff about the advice we need for the house.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, yeah. So I took your course. You did?
Natalie
You were. You weren't interested? If you're not interested to say no.
Jeff Lewis
No, I am interested. I have severe adhd.
Natalie
So we have a wall in our living room anyway. All right, so you have a wall.
Jeff Lewis
In your living room.
Natalie
We have a wall in our living room.
Jeff Lewis
Take a look at your house.
Natalie
You will?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Natalie
Will you stay for dinner?
Jeff Lewis
I mean, let's. Let's take it slow. Let's take it slow here. I feel like I'd like you, but we don't really. I'm not sure yet, you know, more time. It's more him than you.
Natalie
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Lewis
No, I feel like you and I get along great.
Nick
I get that.
Jeff Lewis
No, I'm kidding. I'll come by anytime.
Natalie
Okay, so we have a wall with a TV on it, right?
Nick
Big wall.
Natalie
Huge, massive wall. It's. I don't. How tall are the ceilings in there?
Nick
20Ft.
Natalie
Something massive.
Jeff Lewis
A new build?
Natalie
It was new.
Jeff Lewis
It.
Natalie
Yeah, it was new.
Nick
It was a new remodel like five, six years ago.
Jeff Lewis
Oh.
Natalie
It has this heinous gold wallpaper on it. Disgusting.
Nick
By heinous I mean I like it.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Natalie
So it's extra ugly and there's just an 80 inch TV and a built in fireplace. Oh, 85 inch TV.
Jeff Lewis
Jesus. That's a big TV.
Natalie
Because it's a massive wall.
Jeff Lewis
Okay.
Natalie
We have no storage, not one closet, not nothing. Not a linen. She want to do a whole like cabinet wall. Yeah. So I'm like, how can I make this? Yeah, a storage. But still, I don't need more like shelves to put more shit on necessarily.
Jeff Lewis
More like store a cabinetry and all.
Natalie
Like. Cabinetry. Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. So we just. I have design clients now. Similar situation. We did a very long lower cabinet, but we're not going. We're not going to go the whole wall to wall because it Looks stupid, but. And then we did this beautiful marble. Marble top with this with an edge detail, and it looks really nice. So we. Because she needed storage. Also, we. Also upstairs, we did do a built in whole bookshelf thing, but you don't want bookshelves. You don't need that.
Natalie
Are you. No, because we have, like, right next to it is our kitchen, and we have three shelves there that are, like, styled with plates and cookbooks and whatever.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah. So you don't need any more of those kind of shelves. I have a great cabinet person. I do have a cabinet guy.
Natalie
No.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. So I'm happy to come by and I'll refer my cabinet guy and I'll kind of give you ideas. I'm happy to do it.
Natalie
Great. Amazing.
Jeff Lewis
I'm. I'm in the valley all the time because I have a couple clients out here.
Natalie
Oh, great.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
Do you like games?
Jeff Lewis
What kind of game?
Natalie
What are you talking about? This.
Jeff Lewis
Why you wanted me to stay for dinner.
Natalie
We're like, dorit will be there.
Nick
Justin made a game for us.
Jeff Lewis
It sounds like I'm gonna have. Oh, we're playing a game right now. Oh, okay. I thought that was.
Nick
Let's try this again. Do you like?
Natalie
No. Yeah, of course.
Jeff Lewis
Yes, I do like games. No, I fucking hate games, but it's okay. I'll play.
Natalie
Yikes.
Nick
I think we're more similar than I think y'all are.
Jeff Lewis
True.
Natalie
I think y'all are too.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. All right. It's called iconic or doing too much question mark.
Jeff Lewis
Iconic or doing too much. Okay, got it. All right, just two. Two. Two words. Okay.
Nick
Meredith Marks and her bangs, which you just saw.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, what? Is there a third answer? Like, I don't really care.
Natalie
No, no.
Jeff Lewis
It has to be one of these. Iconic, then.
Nick
Interesting.
Natalie
It kind of is iconic.
Nick
Jared Osman sliding into Mary Cosby's dms. Oh, that's right. We did not see.
Jeff Lewis
I didn't know that. I haven't seen that. You guys are ruined it for me.
Natalie
Oh, my God. You can't ask any questions.
Nick
Well, it's good.
Natalie
Have you. You've seen Beverly Hills?
Jeff Lewis
This. Yes, that.
Natalie
Kathy Hilton taking out her extensions at the party.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, that's. So what's my choices?
Natalie
Iconic or doing too much?
Nick
Rewind a little bit. Let us kind of talk about. About the fact that. What's his name? Jared Osmond Slosby's dms.
Jeff Lewis
Do you find Jared Osman kind of hot?
Justin
No.
Natalie
Disgusting?
Jeff Lewis
Not at all disgusting. I don't know why, but I guess, no.
Nick
He's an attractive Guy. He's a dis.
Jeff Lewis
I found him somewhat hot.
Natalie
I just couldn't see it. I couldn't see it.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, I guess I kind of see it.
Natalie
Interesting.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah.
Nick
You like him toxic.
Jeff Lewis
Usually I do. And I. I would think that she's. I think she's dip, to be honest with you. I think he's big.
Natalie
I mean, there's got to be something keeping her around because it's definitely not.
Nick
Absolutely not the self respect.
Natalie
Yeah.
Justin
He is also related to Mormon royalty.
Nick
So Britney Bateman needing everything to be about her at dinner. He's so behind on.
Jeff Lewis
I'm behind on all that. I'm sorry.
Nick
D. Smoking a cigarette, driving through Bel Air.
Jeff Lewis
Iconic or doing that, hands down, was iconic.
Natalie
That was iconic.
Jeff Lewis
That was iconic. That is dorit breaking character.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
You know, I mean, look, I think she is one of those people that's been very edited for years. Very concerned about what other people think. I mean, obviously look at the, you know, the lifestyle they lead. That it seems to me a bit fake. It seems to me that they're living beyond their means based on alleged tax liens and notice of defaults or the.
Nick
Fact that his only job that we're actually aware of is that he's the manner of manager of Boy George and that can't be paying all that much money these days.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know. I hope, I hope for them that Boy George is working and he's taking his 20%, but. Oh, I lost my train of thought. Oh, I love that she was like it. Like she broke character.
Natalie
She did.
Jeff Lewis
And she showed us the real her.
Natalie
Do you think she's been smoking cigarettes behind the scenes?
Jeff Lewis
Oh, yeah.
Natalie
Yeah.
Jeff Lewis
Since day one.
Nick
I want to see her dating. I want to see her. And if like they. I mean, if they need someone with a reality TV experience or anything, I'm a little bit.
Natalie
They probably go for someone not married with children, but I don't know, it's just my day.
Jeff Lewis
I'm a little bit team PK and I'll tell you why.
Natalie
What?
Jeff Lewis
Because I have insider information that he had a real problem. I know that we're trying to blame it all on his alcoholism.
Nick
That was weird. Every scene. Did you know PK's an alcoholic?
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, Full blown alcoholic. Alcoholic. I really don't know the status of his drinking, but I will say I did hear that he felt like she has changed since the show and that the show has become a major priority. And I think over he felt. And I'm not speaking for him, I'm just telling you what I heard his marriage and his family. Now again, I'm sure she's gone to the park with her kids but look, I don't always go to the park with my kid. In fact I go once in a while. Most often my nanny takes my daughter but I, when I've been. And also my nanny's been never seen to read with those kids. Now that doesn't mean anything. I mean she could be a good mother, you know, behind the, behind closed doors but she was just never, never been there as far as I've never seen her there any what if she's.
Natalie
Like I, if I'm going to take the kids we have to go to like a, like a, a park in like.
Jeff Lewis
Well this is Beverly Hills Park. This is all like this is the Beverly Hills Park. This is Coldwater Park. So yeah, everybody goes there. I don't know. I kind of believe it. I just kind of believe it because I've seen it. I mean I've been around for a long time. I started this in. I think the show first aired in 2008 and I've watched people change from these shows who stayed the same. Do you think I find myself drawn to people with similar goals that I have, which is we. I honestly, I don't, I really, I truly. And you tell me if I'm wrong, Shane. I truly don't think the fame has affected me. I'm very focused on creating streams of income and financial security for my family and that is my, that is my focus. This is how I happen to be doing it. But that is my focus. I really, I'm not. I have, I, you know, I always say I have Jomo. I don't give a shit about parties or red carpets. I don't feel like the need, you know and I'm the first person like if I walk out of Craigs, I'm hiding. I don't want to. I don't care. I don't care. I don't want to be photographed. I don't. But there are people that literally will hover outside of Craigs waiting to be photographed.
Natalie
Why weird.
Jeff Lewis
It's weird to me. I don't. So to answer your question, I always liked, you know, Tabitha coffee. I've always respected the people that were there building businesses and versus there just to be famous.
Natalie
Yeah, that makes sense.
Jeff Lewis
Even if they're promoting products and things like that.
Natalie
Did you.
Jeff Lewis
Who's. Who's changed and who hasn't?
Natalie
Sure.
Jeff Lewis
My co star changed. Jenny. She changed a lot. We used to be very Good friends. And then I do think the notoriety affected her, and I think a lot of them. And I've talked about this where you hire an agent and a manager and a publicist, and you have this whole team, and these people are designed and they just, you know, they just blow smoke up your ass all day. And it really does affect your psyche. And you start to think you're someone you're not, or you're bigger than you are better than other people. And I think then you are. You make very bad decisions. And so I've always been. I've been lucky because I've grounded by the people around me, which is my family and my friends and, you know, people that I'm dating and that kind of thing. I've been very grounded, and I've stayed very kind of true to my goals, my goals of doing this in the first place. And I made money from day one only because I had a production company that was somewhat new to the game, and they fucked up and they sold the show before they had a deal with me. And then at that point, Bravo and the production company wanted this show. So they had come to me with a very, very, very low offer. And I don't know if I've been on it. Have I said the numbers? Okay, I'll say it now. I want to say that they. They were saying, like, okay, we're going to pay you 3500 for the pilot and 2500 per episode. I was like, cool, okay, yeah, go ahead, pitch it. Then we had people interested, specifically Bravo, because they wanted to go. They wanted to go right to series with six episodes. And they came back to me and they're like, okay, we. We got to go. We got a green light here. Sign here. I'm like, I can't work for that. And this is in 2007. So in two. I don't really don't want to piss off Bravo, though, right now. Okay. So I was paid considerably more than that. You could guess if you want more.
Natalie
Or less than Carl Richards.
Jeff Lewis
Well, I don't know what she makes, but you have to understand, I was a no name. It was in 2007. The show was unproven.
Natalie
Per episode.
Jeff Lewis
Per episode. It was a lot more than what they had offered me.
Natalie
10,000 per episode.
Jeff Lewis
It was higher than that.
Natalie
It was.
Jeff Lewis
It was a lot more than they offered, but 25,000. Lower.
Shane
Lower.
Natalie
What did you. They did a flashback this episode about the. Whose side were you on with the home invasion? Real or staged?
Jeff Lewis
Like, are you trying to get me Sued? Is that what you guys are doing?
Natalie
You can. Garcelle's the one who said she thought it was staged. She was like, what? Home?
Nick
What.
Natalie
What robber leaves your phone at by the gate? That's. What's Garcelle's words.
Jeff Lewis
I think that there's. It's suspicious. Let's put it that way. I think it's suspicious, you know, and then when you have public financial problems and. But then also, we're living in a very dangerous. It's a very dangerous time. I know Encino has been hit hard with robberies. There's like, robberies. I mean, multiple a day, it feels like. So it is very possible that it was, you know, that there is nothing suspicious around and, you know, it did this. Could someone have gone in, robbed them, had a conscience? And, you know, because I know she was pleading and she was crying, and it is very possible they had a conscience. So it's. Yes. I think it depends on how you look at it.
Natalie
She also. I mean, I think it's like, one thing to be on the show wearing Chanel and flaunting all of your designer pieces. And then when people. It's like, not that unbelievable that someone would be like, oh, they probably have designer things we should break into.
Nick
Yeah. For anyone listening, this is a vegan leather. That's fake leather.
Natalie
It's from Gap.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, yeah, but they could take that ring.
Natalie
They don't know where I hide it.
Jeff Lewis
Is it insured?
Nick
It's fake.
Natalie
It is. It's fake. It's fake. It's fake.
Jeff Lewis
I hear you. Don't keep anything.
Natalie
It's vegan.
Jeff Lewis
Don't. Don't keep anything in the primary bedroom. We don't.
Natalie
No.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, we don't.
Nick
Our house is bare.
Natalie
We don't even have a primary bedroom.
Jeff Lewis
And do you have cameras? Oh, it doesn't matter anymore. Cameras are everywhere, unplugging them. It doesn't matter. And they're jamming him, so it doesn't really matter. What were we talking about before? What were we talking about? Oh, Jerit, I do want to tell you. I did Family Feud. I played against Dreit. I didn't really understand the rules. And I know that sounds stupid.
Natalie
What did you think of Steve Harvey? I don't care about anything else.
Jeff Lewis
I loved him.
Natalie
Right?
Jeff Lewis
I loved him. I thought he was so fucking funny.
Natalie
Do you think he's hot?
Jeff Lewis
Not that way. But I really liked him. And I thought he was animated and funny and quick. I actually really liked him.
Natalie
Yeah, me too.
Jeff Lewis
But I will say, and this is probably the one nice thing I'll say about Dorit. She's smart and she's witty and that very rarely do you meet someone where you instantly know this is an intelligent human being. And I got it. I got it right away. She is smart. She is smart.
Natalie
Okay.
Jeff Lewis
Is that the only nice thing I've said today?
Natalie
I think so.
Jeff Lewis
I need to say at least one more about somebody.
Natalie
Bryn.
Jeff Lewis
No, let's try again. She's pretty. She's pretty. Bryn is pretty. I will give her that. She's an attractive.
Nick
Britney.
Natalie
Britney.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, she's a mess. But I kind of like watching it.
Nick
I miss her when she's.
Jeff Lewis
They better. Me too.
Nick
I really miss her.
Jeff Lewis
They kind of need to keep her and I'm going to be pissed if they clip her cuz she's a mess. Right?
Nick
I don't think.
Jeff Lewis
I hope she doesn't really need some so much therapy.
Natalie
Yeah, she needs a lot of help.
Jeff Lewis
But do we want her to get therapy? No, no no no, no. We don't.
Nick
Like, if you get therapy, you're out.
Natalie
Yeah, if you become therapy, it's kind.
Jeff Lewis
Of a dream cat that slc.
Natalie
Truly.
Jeff Lewis
All right, but can we? Because I can't let this go. No, you guys are, you know, you're doing well in life. You have money, you invite someone on a trip. You're like, I'm chartering a plane. I'm just assuming that if you both invite me to Palm Springs, which we could take Arrow because they do have these flights now in Palm Springs. But anyway. And you charter a flight, I'm assuming I have a ride home.
Natalie
And I would assume it would be the same way we got there.
Jeff Lewis
I'm assuming that too. And if not, it's cool. Like, hey, we chartered a flight there. We're going to stay a couple extra days. Just say that. And you're going to have to find your own way home. Okay, no problem. I'll book, you know, I'll book a flight or whatever. I was a little shocked by that. Letting them know in the morning that they're going to be flying coach. And I mean, again, there's nothing wrong with coach. That's not the point. The point is you should have let me know that this is. This is what was happening. So if I don't want to fly coach. And by the way, it's not a 45 minute flight, it's like two hours. It's two hours. So that's an exaggeration. And I also. If you have so much money and you just gifted a $4 million necklace, which I don't believe that happened. What do you give a. About another 20 grand to fly them home? Why do you care?
Natalie
You think that was a prop?
Jeff Lewis
The necklace? I think it was either borrowed or. I thought it could be lab grown diamonds or maybe it's a. I just don't think. Look, I. It's obviously Todd. Todd is a wealthy man. You got to be pretty wealthy to be okay with dropping $4 million on a necklace. And even if he got it for.
Nick
2 million and he invented Palm pilot, that's like, he's probably a billionaire.
Jeff Lewis
I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
Nick
It could be though.
Jeff Lewis
And that's the house they chose and all the.
Natalie
And he, he might have spent it all in the Starbucks cups because those are like, what, $42 a pop or something.
Justin
Did you do the chair?
Jeff Lewis
I'm not disputing. He's not wealthy. I just, I'm not buying the. I'm not. I don't think that necklace. I don't know. I don't think that happened.
Nick
I think you're absolutely right about the plane ticket home. It's just more like I just don't mind Brin starting a little drama.
Jeff Lewis
And then like I've. We've. Todd and I took the two. We have. There's four seats in first class. Todd and I took two. And the rest of you guys are.
Natalie
In co. Well, you'll see. In this episode, Heather asked her why if.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I missed it.
Natalie
No one cares. You know, if, like it's not that big of a deal, why did she put herself in first class? And Bronwyn responds with, because it was my fucking credit card, which I kind of loved.
Jeff Lewis
Which like, it's still. I still find it. I still find it tacky how it went down.
Natalie
I definitely think she could have let them know, like, I'll get your tickets home. But like, just to let you know, it is a small plane. There's only so many first class. So I'll put you all in coach with your husbands.
Jeff Lewis
Okay. But also maybe tell me before you invite me that we're just. Because look, you, you have to schedule this charter, right? So just tell me beforehand. Like we're, you know, we got you on the way there and, you know, I can either pick up a ticket for you or. You guys.
Natalie
Yes, the option just.
Jeff Lewis
I'm all about, just, you know, communicate. I'll figure it out. Thank you so. And I, by the way, thank you so much for, for flying us there. I really appreciate that. Thanks for picking up. Which we know they did. We know Bravo did. But thanks for picking up the house. The house was gorgeous. Whatever. Come. I'll come from a place of gratitude, but don't, don't surprise me. The morning of. On the way to the airport. Yeah, I think that was. I think that was mishandled.
Nick
It was messy.
Natalie
It's understandable.
Jeff Lewis
It was messy.
Nick
It was messy for sure.
Jeff Lewis
And not a classy thing to do.
Nick
I still really like her.

Yeah, I do too. I just met her at a gay bar in the. In Dallas called the Roundup.
Natalie

Jeff Lewis
And I was with. With Crystal Minkoff, who's a real good time. Have you guys Real good time.
Natalie
Oh, my God.
Nick
Yeah, we, we produce a show with her now.
Jeff Lewis
Oh, I'm stupid. That's right. We already talked about that. I was in Dallas. She was there on a speaking engagement. I'm like, hey, meet up with, meet up with us at the Roundup, which is this big famous gay bar. You'd love it, Nick. And they have karaoke. They have all these different rooms. Drinks are cheap. Do you love jello shots?
Natalie

Jeff Lewis
Oh my God, I feel like I'm in college again. It was so fun. But Crystal met us and I think she came right from the airport and she took a lot of my cash and gave it to these strippers. And she would like, okay, so we've all, you know, we've all done. We've all, you know, helped. Helped out strippers by, you know.
Natalie

Jeff Lewis
Crystal had her hand all the way down and just like lingered there. Oh, just lingered.
Natalie
It stuck to my hand. I can't get it off.
Jeff Lewis
I mean, pretty much. And this guy was like, Jared, he was well endowed. And so she kept going back to the same dancer.
Natalie
You know the crime.
Jeff Lewis
I'm supposed to say dancer, not stripper, but they're. Well, I guess he's not.
Nick
Performers.
Natalie
Performers.
Jeff Lewis
And I don't know how many of twenties she went through, but they were all my money, by the way, she went through my 20s.
Natalie
How was your bank account looking today?
Jeff Lewis
I need to check it, but I had cash. I don't go to. I try to. It's like when you go to Vegas. Like, I go with a certain amount of cash and I do not take my 18.
Natalie
All I'm spending.
Jeff Lewis
Yeah, no, no, no, because I'll just keep going. I'll keep going back so she owes. She owes me a lot of money because she spent many twenties on that stripper. But she's a real good time. Oh, anyway, forgot to tell you. So then someone comes over, and they're like, hey, Bronwyn from Salt Lake City's here. And this what I love about Crystal, because I'm like, oh, oh, my God. I'm a big fan. Let's go over. And she's like, no, no, no, no. And she takes my hand, and she kind of pushes me back. She's like, let her come to us. And she did. And I'm like, damn. She doesn't play that. Crystal. The roundup's real fun. It's a real good time. Okay, well, I'd have you in the. You know what? I. You're. Obviously. You probably feel uncomfortable around the dancers, but you. There's a whole karaoke room, which is probably where we would leave.
Nick
I went to a gay bar with my friend, Braga restaurant. You might know him. You know Brad?
Jeff Lewis
I know Brad.
Nick
Yeah. And I was mesmerized by one of those dancers because he was a terrible dancer. And I was just like, why are you up there? You're terrible dancer. And then, like, two weeks later, he was my barista. And I was just like, I know you, but you don't know that I saw you at this dancer. You're a terrible dancer.
Natalie

Natalie
And if Crystal's there, your money.
Jeff Lewis

Natalie
