Beverly D'Angelo: 我认为年龄增长最重要的是保持独立自主,尽可能地自己去做事情,不要过度依赖他人。在洛杉矶山火期间,我将自己的房子作为避难所,家人朋友都聚集在我这里。紧急撤离时,我带走了对我来说有意义的东西,包括珠宝、现金、化妆品和家人的照片等。最近我经历了山火撤离和与前夫接触的创伤后应激障碍,我需要一个治疗伙伴,如果有人陪伴,我会更坚持锻炼和保持健康。在Chumpmas活动上,因为想抽烟,我向其他人借烟,结果暴露了自己的身份,破坏了惊喜。我并没有忽视山火造成的悲剧,只是希望通过节目带来一些欢乐和轻松。 Reza Farahan: 作为曾经的难民,我理解Beverly在紧急撤离时的感受。我和家人在伊朗革命前逃离了伊朗,开始新的生活。这让我更有同情心。 Jeff Lewis: 我质疑Reza的私人教练是否在山火期间成功撤离。我讨论了在经济困难时期人们通常会削减开支,例如设计师和私人教练,但Reza却保留了他的私人教练,这让我怀疑他们之间存在某种暧昧关系。我还质疑Beverly在声带休息期间抽烟是否抵消了之前的努力,并就她在电影中是否会以不漂亮的样子出现提出疑问。最后,节目组不鼓励酒后驾车。

I mean, I'm doing charity right now. Look at that. Twice in one year, you're doing charity. That's twice. What was the first one? You went to dinner with me. Do people want to be in your circle? Buy your way into friendship with Jeff Lewis? I think people are trying to get out. When I first started coming here, I was like, Jeff Lewis. Jeff Lewis.

Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Beverly D'Angelo and Reza Farahan join the show. We talk about bumming cigarettes, personal trainers, and the LA Fires.

Now, Bev was just criticizing me and saying that I'm not independent enough. Is that correct? No, I'm saying watch out for it. Because what I was saying is the key to aging well is to... You know, like somebody wanted to carry my eggs. I've got some hard-boiled eggs. Let me push the chair up or let me do... No, no, no. Do as much as you can for yourself. Period. End of story. Because if you don't use it, you lose it. And I just... It's a warning. You're worried about me. Well, I'm worried about... We all are. Yes, because what I have learned in this past year is just that.

that I was relegating a lot of responsibility for myself to other people. And that's not good. You've got to do everything you can for yourself.

Pomodoro style. You need to start doing it Pomodoro style. Oh, don't start the Pomodoro thing. Why not? Reza understands me. He understands the Pomodoro technique. First of all, I need to just say that I am in the presence of Hollywood royalty. I just want to put that out there right now. This is a big treat for me. He's lost his mind. This is a big treat for me, Bev. It's a big treat for me to be around human beings. I was evacuated. I've been isolated for days. I'm so sorry. But also, I really do like you. You were in a house full of other people.

What? Bev, you were in a house full of people.

You weren't isolated. Well, that's a different kind of isolation. So let me ask you, how many people were in this home that you evacuated to? Okay, I was in my house that was right in Runyon Canyon area, and I was telling everybody, get to my house, get to my house. I'm in a safe place. Everybody else is in danger because my son was in Northridge. My daughter is in Santa Clarita, and their father is in Beverly Hills. My house is a safe place. Everybody's got to come here. Everybody's got to come here. Okay.

And the irony is, is that my son went to his father's house, Al. He's there. And then all of a sudden I get that mandatory evacuation warning.

So I go over to Al's house in disbelief, and it's really a good exercise when you have 10 minutes to take what is meaningful to you. What'd you take? I emptied out my safe, which had jewelry from when I was a duchess. Wait, you were a duchess? Yeah, I was. Stop. We're going to go have a talk. It gets better. I'll tell you all this stuff. I want your jacket, though. But anyway, everybody should know he has on the most beautiful jacket.

So I took the cash that I had there, a little teeny bit of gold that I bought in 2013, and a little bit of makeup. Just in case. I took mascara and a brow pencil. Oh, good. A little bit of base and then moisturizers. Any lip gloss or lipstick? I took Aquaphor for my lips. Great. And I have one lipstick in my purse. I took Articles of Incorporation.

I took my kids birth certificates. Okay, good. And a couple of baby spoons I had in the safe came with me too. And some pictures of them as children. And the oil portrait of my mother. Wow.

How big is it? What? It's big. It's like that big. So I put everything in the back seat. It was like that scene in that movie, The Jerk. Like, I don't need anything. I just need this chair. But it didn't take up much. It took up half of the back seat.

And, uh, so I go over there and that's, I was all ready to go, keep going and take everybody down to my friend Dwight's house. When we did the Christmas show, when I glommed onto your Christmas show and, uh, but then that got kiboshed. So, uh,

We were all just there until I got back to my house. So the point is you weren't isolated because you were in a house full of people. Your kids. Yeah, but those are people. Your ex. Well... Why do you have a white dot on your nose? I have a white... You know why I do because I have a pimple there. Why didn't you just cover it up? Why'd you put white dot...

It's pink, actually. Thank you. It's pink, and it's Mario Badescu anti-pimple stuff, and I have to do a movie in a week, and I want to get rid of the pimple, and so it's a balancing act. Do I cover it with toxic makeup? Yes. Yes. No. And then when you get home, you wash it off and put that shit on. No. And then are you wearing trays? No.

I took the tray out. I have my retainers in, yes. Okay. Why do you wear the retainer during the day, Beth? Because I forget to put it in at night. Okay.

Oh my God, I'm obsessed with you already. It just, it happened. I'm obsessed with you. It happened. Beth, so you're going to go do a movie. Where, when? Rhode Island. Okay. I leave on Friday. It's a really cool script. And so many coincidences, you can't believe it. But anyway. Who's in the movie? Hayden Pantieri. Nice. Who I met when she was eight years old. Okay. Because I was living in Sneedon's Landing with the aforementioned father of the kids that I have.

and that we had. Who else is in the movie besides Hayden? Misha Barton. Oh, nice. Okay. And I'm going to have to... I just got this film, so I'm not really conversing. What's your character? It's fascinating. It's like layers and layers and layers. Like, you don't know what's real and what's not real. I played Hayden's mother, and she's...

It's a psychological thriller where you don't know if what she's experiencing is a haunting from her husband that's in a coma. It's like Jeff Lewis Live, a psychological thriller. Or if it's really happening. So it's kind of layer upon layer, dream within, dream within. How long have you been gone?

I'll be gone from the 17th of January until February 8th. And then I know it's too long. You're going to be gone a long time. I know, honey. What are we going to do? I don't know what I'm going to do without you.

Without the chumps. What am I going to do without the chumps? Now, I do have to rewind here a little bit. So Chumpmas, which we did in December in Brea, which was very successful. I mean, you had an epic performance at the end. I do want to just mention that it was supposed to be a surprise. Oh, yeah. Your appearance was supposed to be a surprise. Now, you know that everyone figured out you were there.

Because I know. What did you do, Bev? Well, daddy.

I was nervous. Yes. And I had my little machine on for lubricating my cords and I was not talking. I was on vocal rest. But I really wanted a cigarette. And as you know, I have quit smoking. So the cigarettes that I smoke have to be bummed. Yes. So I went outside and asked a line around the block. Of chumps, yes. Of chumps, does anybody have a cigarette? And Aaron, my new best friend from Santa Barbara. Aaron, please, please tell me you're listening.

Erin gave me a cigarette and that became the beginning of a beautiful friendship. She's totally my new best friend. Oh, you guys talking. Talking. She comes into town. She's got my ornaments. I signed a whole bunch of ornaments for her that are in her store, the Yes Store in Santa Barbara. And the

thing is, what I need to do is make a video for where I say, yeah, this is really me and I did really sign him and we really are best friends. But I haven't had time to because of the evacuation and the PTSD and the exposure to my ex. But you understand, we went to great lengths to sneak you in the back. I know. To bring you in. We immediately put you in the green room. It didn't occur to me that the people outside were the same people who were going to be surprised inside. I was at a different level.

I thought they have to be here for something else. I didn't connect it. Yeah, so when you walked out front and then you started bumming cigarettes off the chumps, they all knew that you were there. They knew it was me, yeah. Yeah, so then it spoiled the surprise. I don't know what I was thinking. Like, were they there for the restaurant? I just didn't put it together. I didn't put it together. Yeah, we had 600 people waiting to get into the yard house. By the way,

Top table to get. But by the way, do you know your show there was unprecedented. It was sold out to the max. They want you back. They want to set you up there to do your whole show there. How do you know this, Bev? Because my dearest friend, Dwight Manley, who is just a dear, dear, dear friend. He's a real estate developer who brought...

Brea to life. He's the one who engineered the building of the, I don't mean, well, he fomented the building. He said, I want Jeff Lewis back here.

We'll do a deal. We'll get them four days every year. We'll set up a studio here. We can broadcast live from here. Nobody has ever had that kind of traffic on a Thursday night period. The enthusiasm for you is so great, and it's a wonderful location for you. It's a beautiful theater. They'll do anything you want there, Jeff. I tried to tell you that. Okay, we're telling me now. Okay.

Okay. Now, let me ask you this. When you were backstage, you were attached to a nebulizer, and no one could speak to you because you were on vocal rest. That's right. So does it negate all of the hard work when you go out and start smoking? That's an interesting question, Jeff. Okay.

Oh my god. I kind of think of it as a balancing act. One cancels out the other. Yeah, it's a balance kind of thing. You know, extension, contraction kind of thing. But it was just one cigarette. What I love is that also, you were kind of on vocal rest, but it was very selective. So if someone that you wanted to talk to, I would hear you. And then if someone else, I'm on

But when I talked to, I also talked to other people in a relaxed way. I was very conscious of keeping my voice relaxed because I have a tendency to pressurize and that's really bad. Well, you sounded amazing. So good. And you threw that together last minute and you sounded great. I,

The thing is, it's very hard for me to accept that compliment because my standards are based on the way I sang 50 years ago. Literally. You still have a great voice, Beth. Well, I have a lot of soul, but I don't have the range that I had or things like that. I have a question as a former smoker. When you're bumming a smoke, Beth, can you do a menthol? Are you selective or any cigarette will do? For me, a cigarette... For example, as soon as I...

I mean, I haven't, I just, every time I've stopped smoking, I just have stopped.

Maybe I took some Nicorette with me when I evacuated just in case because of the nerves. But for me, smoking is a whole experience. It's the pause in time. It's the inhale. It's the smoke. Yeah. It's the thing. You know what I mean? It's like a holistic experience. It's not just getting the nicotine. Bev, can you please be honest, though? When is the last time, honest, last time you had a cigarette? Monday night. Ha ha ha!

It's Tuesday. No, no, no. A week ago. A week ago Monday night. A week ago Monday night. A week ago. See, I don't even know what time it is. As I said, I was saying this to you before. I have so many layers of PTSD at this point. That was the capper, the evacuation and thinking now my house is gone. I have so many. I need a therapeutic companion. I really, I need someone to live with me. But can I just say something? Please do. I am in

I'm impressed. It's a talk show. You're home by yourself. Yes. You get this... Yeah, go ahead. You get this evacuation. I'm home by myself wanting everything. Come to me. But I will say, like, to be able to think clearly, to stay calm, to take all of the necessary things within 10 minutes, pack your car and get out of there, that's impressive. Some people...

They just... They become paralyzed. They don't know what to do. They don't know what to take. They just... I've watched them. They just stand there. Well, this is what you take. All the cash you have. Anything that you can get your hands on if you've got a safe... Get whatever you keep in there that's valuable. And something that is the most meaningful. And...

Get out of there. Live. As a refugee, I can speak to what Bev is saying. For someone who had to flee a country. Did you flee in the 80s? We fled right before the revolution. We came on a little vacation.

Did you have to use coyotes and stuff to get here? We never went back. No, we flew first class. No, but I mean, but did you fake it like you were going on a vacation? No. Oh, you didn't know? We literally came on a vacation and then the revolution started. Did you have political people in your family? We did. Oh, babe. Yeah, we never went back. Lost everything. It's big, right? Yeah, you start all over. Yeah, it's a whole thing. And it makes you...

compassionate. You have a choice to either become bitter and messed up or compassionate. And you always feel like a guest a little bit, Bev, because if you had to pack up and leave the place you were from, you stay a little bit like with an overnight bag in your closet just in case. I think you're very well educated because you have zero accent. Where did you go to school? Beverly Hills High School and then San Francisco State. So where were you born? In Tehran, Iran.

Is everybody as handsome as you there? Is that the deal? I knew I loved you from before I came to the show. No, but seriously, have you noticed that? See, he had a glow up. He had a glow up recently. They're like a handsome factory over there. Oh, you're right. In the old days. You were handsome in the old days. But everybody, where are you fat? Well, where are you fat? I don't think you're fat. No, I was fat fat. Oh, like a fat boy? I was fat. Because your mommy loved you so much she made you fat. No, I think it was later. Yeah. You got fat. I was...

Like eating disorder fat? Yes, like PTSD fat. That's whenever I get fat out of nerves. Yeah, it was... Bravo made me fat after season one of Shaz. It did? Yeah. Bravo made you fat? They made me fat. I don't know if you could, like, sue them. Oh, by the way, your trainer, was he able to make it out? He texted me.

that you are interrupting our workout schedule. Me? You. He hit me up and said, today... This show is... This show is... Like, LA is burning to the ground. And...

Ryan is pissed at you. He hit me up and said, 8.30 today, let's go. And here I was concerned about him and all of his brand new towels. I wanted to make sure he got them out. We live on the same street. Okay. So if he's going, like we're going together. I also think it's interesting. So Bev. You haven't been evacuated? No. How many seasons of Shaz? None.

Okay, so he's a real estate agent. He has a regular job. I want to talk to you about the reality of the fires in real estate. He's an investor and he has Airbnbs and all of that. But when you lose the TV show, he's very prudent. He said, you know what? I've got to cut my expenses. Sells the Porsche. He starts to put himself on a budget. Nice, right? But hold on.

Most people, when they are trying to cost cut, the reason I know this is designers are the first people to go, then personal trainers. But you managed to figure it out in the budget to keep that trainer. But can I say something? It depends on your priorities because, for example... He's very handsome. No, but prioritizing your self-care is what's going to sustain you through any kind of loss. Because if you are messed up and...

dependent and unhealthy and you face an outside catastrophic loss, you're not going to make it. So I can see prioritizing health care. And if the only way that you're going to stay fit is to have a trainer, I think that is part of your expenses. I think he's just horny and the trainer is handsome. Very handsome. The trainer is very handsome. But what about Adam?

Adam is even more handsome. How did you remember Adam? Because I examined his jewelry. Oh, okay. How do you know Adam? He's got Adam on one side and Rosa on the other side. Do you want me to rock your world? I don't even pay for the training. We work out together. Yeah, something's up. Something's going on. No, I think that's just nice. He's married with a wife and a kid.

He's straight. He's straight straight. He wants to know more. Let's put it that way. I'm going to introduce you guys. His name is Ryan Gentry. He's very nice. Hey, Ryan.

Yeah, that's weird. Okay, so you have a trainer that trains you for free. Correct. Because we work out together, and I work out- So he has a workout buddy. Correct. Buddy. What's with that face? Did you ever used to employ him, and then somehow it- Yes. Totally. Yeah. Well, yeah. And-

Wait, Bev, when I was in my 20s, he and I were trainers at the same gym. Oh, you were a trainer? In my 20s. You know why I should be a trainer? Then I could stay in shape because I have a gyrotonics tower. And gyrotonics coaches charge like $150 an hour.

What's a gyrotonics tower? Oh, it's the best exercise system there is. Tell me about it. Not that I do it. It's eight feet away from my bed. If Pilates is running in place, you know, Pilates is up and down, gyrotonics is swimming.

It's all based on a spiral. You can go on YouTube and look at it. He can't swim, so he wouldn't be able to do the gyrotonic. No, no, no, as far as the movements. Yeah, he can't do it. It has nothing to do with water. He would drown. No, no, no. It has nothing to do with water. It was originally called yoga for dancers. You were so happy when you said drown. Yeah, and there are movements that are all against weights and pulleys and stuff. It's fabulous. It's like Pilates, 10 hours and you're in shape.

I have this PTSD. That tower is literally 10 feet from my bed. I'll come try it. And I just look at it. When's the last time you've used it? Well, that's the problem. Ages ago. Okay. I mean, I did my arms a few days ago. Okay, good. They look good. No, they don't. You know what I'm saying? I'm fine, but naked it's not happening. You know what I mean?

Well, you're eating healthy. You've got the eggs. I've got the eggs. Yeah, well, the protein thing. But see, if I had a companion, this is my whole thing. I have been so staunchly independent all my life that every day I just see if I just had some companionship, I'd be more consistent because I know all this stuff. Like an assistant? Take shame. I would love to try that. I can't afford shame.

No, yes, he recently got very expensive. Just recently. Just recently. The accent came out. Meredith Marks is here. I have a question. But you remember I had that date and it was so good.

I could hook you up with a very rich Persian man that's age appropriate. And I don't know what age. So he's in the hospital? No. I'm thinking like 60, right? Like a nice 60 or 65-year-old Persian man with money. Bev looks really good for age. Very good. But only in clothes, though. No. I saw you. That's a really good bra you have on, Bev. It's a bodysuit.

Oh. Yeah, it's really good. But I think it makes them too big. They're perky. I like them. No, they're perky. They don't look big. They do look big, but that's good. But they're up. They're too big. They're up. Well, it's the bodysuit. They wouldn't go down that much more. You did what? They're dope. A little bit. Wait, you had what? I had a breast reduction. Oh, so you had a lift. No, I didn't get the lift part. You didn't need it? I didn't need it, no.

Okay, I'm impressed. You just need to get rid of some of them. You try breastfeeding at 49, baby, and see how... I have. And they got... No, they get very... They either go... You either get really... They get used up and flat and saggy, or they just...

get really big and they were a little bit too big and I had some stuff in there you got it going on Beth the teeth are good the lips are good the legs are good Beth can I ask you about this movie real quick yes are they gonna make you sleepwalkers okay because you looked so hot in that other movie you just did with Diane Keaton oh yeah you look so beautiful are they gonna make you look bad in this movie like do you are you are you poor in the film

Do you know what I'm saying? Like, you look better as a rich mom. Oh, that's interesting. He did the... I love the director, Brandon. Love him.

We talked at great length yesterday about the background of the character, and he said that she was married to a wealthy man. Okay, good. But it's not about, you know, this is a woman who, I mean, I'm still formulating it, but this is someone who, you know, there's kind of a hippie background there, and she has enough awareness to, you know. But they're going to make you look pretty, is what I'm saying. Well, how can they not make you look pretty?

How can they not? No, no, no. What I mean is, I don't mean that, but I mean, I think that that's like, you know, one of the attributes physically. I am photogenic physically. I do have features that people would call pretty. That's not the greatest news of all, by the way, for an actress. You know what I mean? But sometimes they make gorgeous actors look ugly. That's my question. For a role. It isn't that kind of a role. It's not, that's not necessary for the role. It's a psychological thriller. Yeah.

You know, my thing is, in fact, what we were talking, what Brandon and I were talking about yesterday is, you know, you don't really want any one factor of yourself as an actor to do the role. Like, you don't want the clothes to do the performance. You don't want the makeup to do the performance. You know what I mean? You want to get...

your performance authentic enough and emanating from you enough that, that, that you're not distracting with prosthetics or costumes or big hairstyles or big makeup. That's kind of my thing. Will you end up rehearsing with Hayden or do you just walk on set and you guys do it? We're going to be able to do a read through, but in general, you know, in general, rehearsals are really a luxury of the past, you know, but here's the thing. I met Hayden when she was eight years old.

Because I was based in New York with Al. It was before kids. This was like 97. And I was redoing his house in Sneedens Landing a bit. And the local contractor was Skip Pantieri. Oh. Lovely man who also was a volunteer fireman, lived just down the street.

So he said, oh, you know, my daughter wants to be an actress. And there was this lovely, lovely, lovely little bright shining star of a girl. And here we are. Wow. What is that? 26 years later and I'm playing her mother. Wow. Is that fabulous? And there's more.

Because one of my best friends and oldest friends in life moved to Rhode Island years ago. And I've wanted to see her again and again and again, but never been able to. And, you know, the older you get, the fewer friends you have that you've known for a long time. So it's always been, Maggie, how are we going to get together? Can you come here? Can I come there? Could never get it together for years. And don't you know?

This movie came along. I'm going to be able to stay with her. Oh, you're staying with her? Amazing. I love that. For all those weeks? It's not that many weeks, Jeff. It's three weeks. That's a long time to be staying with someone. They didn't put you in a hotel? Oh, no. They offered me the hotel, but that's part of the beauty part is that I'll be able to see my best friend. Okay. You know, one of my best friends. But you want to be living there under the same roof? I mean, wouldn't you rather kind of control it? Like, I'll see you tomorrow for breakfast.

versus living there? It's a big house. It's actually a house that's divided into two houses because she's also living in a house with her ex-husband who's in one house. I haven't seen her in a while. I don't know if you should just go and stay with her for three weeks. Her owl is going to be there. What are you, nuts? This is what life is about. Okay, well, if you're going to put you up in a hotel and you're nearby and, I don't know, you could kind of control it a little better.

Why do I want to live life? I'm going to be shooting. Just asking questions. I'm going to be shooting. I don't know why I wouldn't want to be, especially now. With Maggie. Well, in close proximity because you get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, you go to work. You're going to wake her up. You're in this. That's right.

And you're in this fantasy land all day long. You come home, you're depleted emotionally. What's better than to have somebody there instead of room service? You're going to wake her up when you get home. And she'll love it. Yeah. All right. It's nice to see Megan. In an atmosphere of love. All these years, they've been trying to make it happen. For how many years? We met in 85.

We haven't seen her since 85? No, I haven't seen her probably since, I don't know, 10 years? It's a long time. Yeah, a long time. I wonder what she's like. You are so... Oh my God. I'm just asking. Oh my God. Oh my God, Jeff. Oh, now you're making me paranoid. Every day, our world gets a little more connected, but a little further apart. But then, there are moments that remind us to be more human.

Bev, you have an important statement. I do. I want to make something very clear. Nobody here is just being totally superficial and ignorant of the absolute tragedy that has befallen our beloved county of Los Angeles.

What has happened in this state? You have to understand these fires are larger than the entire island of Manhattan. It's a historical event. We have never been faced with this. It has been, there's lies disseminating about causes. It's been politicized. None of us here are ignorant of the travesty that has befallen our community. Okay. But...

But, you know, if you don't laugh, you cry. And again, not trying to be superficial, but we're here this morning to offer everybody, you know, let's float a little bit. Let's have some fun. Let's laugh. Yeah. Well said. And there are things that I shouldn't have done. I shouldn't have grabbed my boobs. I shouldn't have made offhand comments. When did you grab your boobs? Well, when we were talking about, you said my bodysuit looked good. Well, it does look good. And Reza said they were quirky. Good boobs should be grabbed. Okay. Yes. All right. Well, I know. I would touch them all day if I had those.

Okay, that's my statement. So I don't want anybody to think that we don't know what's going on. It's just, let us entertain you. You know, we want to make you feel a little good. Well said. Andrea Long Beach saw you smoking a chunk of this. Andrea, hi. I know. Yeah, it's true. Hi, Beth. Hey. Jeff, you're a rat. He's a rat, Jeff.

It's because he's been victimized by my vocal rest lies. Oh, police. Your voice is so sexy, it's turning me on. Oh. And I'm married to a man. Well, everything is up for grabs at this point in life, you know.

Love is where you find it. Remember, it's his show. That's his show. I wanted to let you know you were still a surprise to me because I loved every minute of it, even though you snuck out like a little chump right after.

but you are and you are on vocal rest and i did jeff guess what i did pay the dang 600 and the face value on my ticket was 125 oh my god you didn't scalpers scalpers oh andrea i'm a dummy those fuckers i went wow that's terrible i went through i went through that damn stub hub which i'll never do that again never um

because I didn't realize that they were like a third. It's my fault. You know, Jeff, you should sell those tickets directly or something. Well, Andrea, this makes me very, very angry because I realize now I could have sold those tickets for a lot more.

You actually could have, Jeff, and I'd have bought it. It was the best, I'll have to admit. I did drive, which I probably shouldn't have, only because I did want to go alone. And I'm in Long... It's not even that far from Brea, but it would have been like $100 each way. But I had three martinis. They were the bomb. The

They were really watered down. I'm sure you were fine. They were watered down. Honest to God, they were half the size. Yes, I agree. There would have been no way I could have walked with three. There was no way. Right, right. I was fine. I looked. The pictures of us are kind of janky because I look very hammered. You guys, you looked great, Jeff. Actually, you were almost too thin. Oh, thank you.

Thanks, Andrea. Yes. Call more often. The next day you got on. And you looked fat. I know. No, the next day you had said you felt fat. And no way. I think I was just bloated. You couldn't have. You looked great. I was bloated from the alcohol, but thank you. Do you want to make some sort of statement about drinking and driving, Bev? I don't drink. I just don't like the taste of it. It wasn't like a conscious thing. Okay. We don't advocate drinking and driving. But drinking and driving, God no. But they were watered down.

In your defense, Andrea, they were very watered down. But you should probably take an Uber to the next show. Yeah. Thanks for listening.
