When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops. I've learned from my mistakes and that's what I want to teach people. Don't do what I have done. This show, I mean, you guys really start some shit. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as an asshole. I just want people to do their jobs. Jeff Lewis has issues.

Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Cynthia Bailey, Michael Beck, and Reza Farahan join the show. We talk about Reza's reconciliation lunch, Michael's injured hamstring, and Cynthia's hotel microwave.

Welcome, Michael. You're putting some oil on your face as we speak. It's not Miracle Elixir. This is the Shine Day Glow. Oh, yes. That the woman loved. Yeah, my favorite product. Now, did you want to change your answer? I do. Because I got a few DMs that the sunscreen goes on after the product. After oil? That's news to me.

And that's what confused me. That might be true, but that's not what I do. Oil is usually first, actually. Right after you get out of the shower, you do your serum or your oil. That's your toner, basically. Then you do your face cream, then your sunscreen. But I liked the idea of the two-in-one where she mixed the oil with the lotion, the moisturizer. Put the lotion in the basket. There's a happy compromise here. So what we'll do is we're going to take a little bit of the face cream.

face cream, drop some of the oil in it, mix it together. Yes. And then we put that on together. And then, Shane, Ray, and RZA, then we'll put whatever sunscreen or sunblock you want on top of this. And you go to GlowisiMa.net?

No! Lovissemont.com. Stop trying to confuse me. She said it's like the south of France in a bottle. It is. Having sex on your face. That's what you look like. Look at that glow on RZA's face. You guys, it smells amazing. Thank you. And my face feels very, very...

Fresh. Not tight. You look like somebody who just had sex on your face. In the South of France. You just had sex. With your trainer. On my face. With your trainer. It's your trainer in a bottle. We love that. So we have all been waiting because I know you've had your, you know, you've had your history and your past with Patrik and Poole. Yes. And then, you know, Reza had a little bit, you know, there's a little bit of a blip at ChumpCon. Yeah. And what I'm very, very happy to hear that you guys have really squashed the beef. It's.

It's squashed. Okay, so what happened? So, Patrik, who literally is on top of shit like no one I've ever seen, hit me up, was like, what's your availability? He follows up with me. He sent me a Google invite to a lunch that we booked, and I ended up going to their shop, their beautiful store in Beverly Hills on Dayton. They have...

I walked in and Paul was literally on the- - Beautiful is a stretch, but okay. - Paul was on the ground. - It's nice. - Don't go upstairs. - You guys are awful. - Hello. I had to be, I don't wanna be. - It's the best location. - It is a good location. - You gotta give it that. - It is. - Best location. - He's been there for 35 years. - And they've been there for a long time. - Huge accomplishment. - I think it would be gorgeous if he just took the dresses out.

I'm going to take over the show now. Rizzo, Jeff has lost his mind. We're not doing this today. Continue the story. Jeff is on one today. I walk in and literally, Paul is on the floor with these scissors that are there for like...

brist to like cut the foreskin off these are the biggest scissors i've ever seen he's cutting a dress we end up walking to a beautiful restaurant around the corner on canon what was the restaurant no but i forget actually give give cynthia the name she'll pronounce it what's it called it's right there there you go what is it called

It's actually a great picture of you. That's an awesome picture. Is it Novikov? There you go. See? Novikov. Oh, did you have the selfie light? No. What? That's natural light? Did Patrika have a fan? Yeah. Trying something new with his hair. Yeah. The hair is going all the way to the... It's his left, my right. I had the best time.

Oh, my God. Patrick, who comes through like a ninja. Novikov, he texted me. No, they're on it. They are on it. I had the best time with them. As it turns out, Pol and I have a lot in common about being Middle Eastern and having negativity around coming out and being gay. Mm-hmm.

We bonded. We laughed. We talked shit. We laughed some more. We bonded some more. It was a very long lunch. I had the best time with them. Great. We walked back to the store and then I went on my way. But I enjoyed their company so much. I connected with them.

had the chance to really enjoy their company. You'll find they'll become very good friends. They really are good guys. Now, let me ask you this. Did you do a coffee read while you were there? I'm very bitter. I did not get a coffee read. I didn't. That's why you went. No, I went to enjoy lunch with them.

But they said. No one goes to enjoy lunch with them. You want a coffee read. Well, Patrick did say you're going to come back and do our podcast and we'll do a coffee read. So I'm going to hopefully get invited to do the podcast. So then Paul can do a coffee read for me. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't get the read. I didn't get it yet. It's coming. Yet.

Okay. So I'm hoping that, you know, the friendship continues beyond the one lunch at Novikov and I get my read. Wait till you get the bill for $500. They treated. They treated for lunch. I think the first read is free. Okay. I mean, I think. I don't want to speak for them, but I only did it once and it was free. You're on their podcast. I did the podcast. I think it comes with the podcast. If you're on the podcast. It's true. No, it's true.

Right? Yes. They won't charge you if you're on the podcast. Yeah. I had Branzino. It was delicious. Pol and I actually ended up ordering the exact same thing. Yum. At lunch. I've never seen that hairstyle on him. So was it off-putting? Because all the hair is – it looks like he took a blow dryer and he blew it all to the left. So it's all the hair is kind of –

leaning to the left. Well, what's interesting is no one else's hair is moving except his. Right? No, it's true. Yeah.

No, I think it's... He stuck his head out the window while driving his car. And the took hairspray. So was it like that the whole lunch? The whole time. It didn't move. And you can go to Polar Patrik's Instagram and see it at Patrik Simpson at Polar too. So did it ever... It wasn't distracting when we were talking to him? The conversation was flowing. There was so much going on. We were connecting and bonding. But there's got to be a part of you that thought, this is weird.

This hairstyle. I mean, I grew up during the 80s. I know about Flock of Seagulls. Why would it be weird? Oh, you're right. I loved Flock of Seagulls in the 80s. I still love Flock of Seagulls. I do, too. I listen to K-Earth every morning. I mean, to Jeff's point, though, I've never seen him wear his hair like that before. No. I think he was probably trying something new. It was experimental. How were the pleases and thank yous at the table? They were free-flowing. Good. Really? Like his hair. They were on their best behavior. Well,

It was free-flowing. I had a great time. You look good in that picture. Thank you very much. You look great in that picture and you look good right now. Thank you. But Reza, can I say, you are a very, can I just give Reza a compliment and give him his flowers? You are a very, very good looking man. Thank you very much, Cynthia Bailey. You are very handsome. Coming from a supermodel, that's a huge compliment. Well, thank you. And let me say this, you have age. Like, I think you get

better as you get older. You do. You're going to be beautiful for a long time. Thank you. I'm taking you everywhere with me. Let's go to, what's the name of

Novacob. Let's go to Novacob. It's beautiful. Actually, it's a gorgeous restaurant, and they have a lunch special. You get a two-course lunch special for $37. Stop. What? For $2 more. Oh, we're going after the show. $39, you get dessert. And dessert? If you do two more dollars, you get dessert. I don't have the points. I want dessert. Exactly. Oh, we have to go there. I didn't eat dessert. I did not eat dessert. Well, I have...

There is a Weight Watchers hack that someone sent me. You're not even on it yet. Why are you trying to hack the system? Because I'm worried I don't have enough points. This is back to me again. So what's happening with Weight Watchers? Well, I'm also probably going to work with Weight Watchers, right? But you've got a points system, as you know. Yes, of course. So someone told me that if I told Weight Watchers I'm diabetic, I get five extra points a day.

You're not diabetic. We're not doing that. God forbid. I need those five extra points. You don't need the extra five points. We got to come up with a better way. You got to have some. That is a great way. You're already cheating. No. Before you even start it, you're already cheating. What's five more points? I don't like your attitude. You're already going into it. You're already going into it with the wrong attitude. I've done it for like three months now. 26 points is not enough. 24 is not enough. Is that why you look so good? You don't even eat breakfast. Do you eat breakfast? You had a problem.

He ate a Pop-Tart. Okay, well, you got to stop eating Pop-Tarts. Jameson, how many points is a Pop-Tart? Okay, but there's two in a package. You only had one. That's a lot of points. No, it only had one. What?

- Pop tart? - And it's the brown sugar one. - There's two in a package. - It was a strawberry one, it had icing. - Oh no. - The icing and the packaging. - It had icing. - You were talking about that cinnamon one. - And that's gonna get your blood sugar up. You can't do that 'cause you're diabetic. - Oh, that's true. - Yeah, you can't have icing. - A standard pop tart typically has eight or nine points. - Oh, that's half your day! - That's already. - Oh my God. - That only leaves you with what, like 18 points left or something?

Shit, I'm going to Javier's. Child, you can only have like a salad with no dressing. No drinks. Ain't no drinks happening. You have to identify your no points foods, okay? I'll help you with this. Fuck. I got my kid tonight. I got to have at least one drink. Well, have you started? This has started already? Well, I'm getting ready. Oh, you're like prepping for it. Yes. When does it actually start? Because I can walk you through this. Soon. I need more than 20...

What is it? 24 points. Well, you haven't actually done your intake yet. So maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Maybe they'll offer you more points. Well, how much are you trying to lose? Here's a high intake, I think. How much weight are you trying to lose? 10.

Okay, that's like five of it is like water retention. Yeah. Do you retain a lot of water? Probably not. You're a big fluctuator though. You lose 10 pounds all the time. It's insane. I'm a fluctuator too. Me too. Yeah. I'll fluctuate. I think you're a fluctuator too. I'm totally a fluctuator. 12 pounds in a week. It's insane. I'm a fluctuator. Shane is the only one that's not. You're not a fluctuator. Hello. As young as he is, he can eat a cow and nothing's going to happen. I don't know. You

You're careful about what you eat. Oh, yeah. Portion-wise. Yeah. No, I saw a TikTok where she was like, just eat half of what you want to eat. And I was like, okay.

- Smart, smart. - Well, yeah. - Well, I've had Taco Bell twice this week. - I love Taco Bell, it's been a while. We were talking about that, you and I bonding this morning over it. - Yeah. - That was like my first job. - Taco Bell? - Yeah. - Taco Bell, did you get free food? - I did. - What did you do there? - Well, I don't know what we were supposed to get, I don't wanna say that. - They're not gonna come back after you for the free Taco Bell, Cynthia! - You never know! They may come after my ass now, I'm on TV now. - What did you do there? Did you make the burritos?

I was like, I did everything. I started all, I did all the different stations. But you know, I'm like a perfectionist and an overachiever. So I really, and I moved up. I was like a manager in like three months and then I had to like leave. I've always wanted to shoot the sour cream gun. You know how they have the gun that shoots the sour cream gun? You said your first job was Taco Bell? I thought it was a modeling job. No, no, no. My first job. She's a fast food girl. You actually worked drive-thru?

I did all of it. Drive-thru, the counter. Oh, shout out to my drive-thru squad. I love the drive-thru. I did the meme. I did all of it. And I moved up very quickly. Welcome to DQ. Order whenever you're ready. That was me. That was you? Yeah. That was you? For sure. If you drive through that bitch, I'm on the other side. You know, my favorite was, and they took them off the menu. I don't know. And then I felt like they brought them back. Did you guys love the Mexican pizzas? They were so good. They're back? They're back and they're delicious. Oh, wow. That's my favorite.

favorite thing they used to have an encharito which was like a burrito it was my favorite thing I DM Taco Bell about it I was like bring that bitch back it's so good it's like a burrito in a thing with enchilada sauce on top and melted cheese why do you think they take the good stuff away like that why do they take it away if it's so good

Have you seen the toothless lady in the car with her friend eating the Taco Bell with the big Cheez-It in it? No. And they're talking about bringing the Mexican pizza back. Like, why are you trying to fuck us over with this big old Cheez-It? We just want the Mexican pizza. Amen. Amen. I'm hungry. Yeah.

I don't know. You know where we're having lunch today? Where? Javier's. Riviera Country Club. We're going to have to get a fucking Cobb salad. I want to go to Taco Bell. I love a Cobb. I love a Country Club Cobb salad. I'm really excited for that experience. I'd rather be at Taco Bell. There's probably more points than Taco Bell, honestly. You're right. How was Carney Wilson's feast that she made you? Oh my God. That was incredible. Was it the best guacamole ever? It was pretty damn good. It was a chunky guac, which I love. Yeah, chicken fajita. She did chicken anise.

and beef fajitas and quesadillas and chips, guacamole. Fresh pico de gallo. What was this for? Fresh? What she does, we have an agreement. When I go there to help her with the kitchen, she feeds me. So we had to do cabinet hardware. So if you guys are looking at all of her stories, which I told her to chill out, which she is, we're doing all the cabinet hardware. It was $9,200 cabinet hardware.

Holy shit. She's got a lot of cabinets. A lot of cabinets. A lot of doors. The pieces. I love cabinets. The poles. The poles and the knobs. $9,200. Is that insane? I need to see these cabinets. There they are right there. Look up. There's so many doors. Oh, wow. But she has no hardware yet. Yeah. No appliances, no hardware. It's beautiful. No plumbing fixtures yet. Wow.

Wow, that's gorgeous. The color is really pretty in person. She's rich. I'm taking those knobs with me when I leave. I'm replacing. No, you wouldn't even know. I'd replace them with some Home Depot shit before it goes on the market. Oh, you wouldn't just exclude it in a listing agreement? No. Don't invite Reza over. He's going to be taking your knobs. You guys, as soon as you tell someone in a listing agreement something's excluded, guess what they want? The thing that you're excluding. Reza,

you have to accompany Mercedes just one day for showings. Okay. It's like if Cynthia was a real estate agent. Why did I catch a train? Why are you chatting to me?

Why did I catch a stray? I have nothing to do with Golden State. You did not have to use me for the example. She's so ill-prepared. She just makes it up on the spot. It is the funniest fucking thing you've ever heard. I feel very attacked. I love MJ. We're in such a good place. Why are you doing this to me? She owns it, though. But the sweetest thing is, I think the most entertaining thing is when you have someone like Brogan who's just trying to help because he knows she's just struggling.

And then what was, so she was the, so your favorite comment was the printer thing. There were shelves in the den and she was like, this is perfect for like, if you print at home, if you work from home. It's a perfect place for a printer. Do you print? And he's like, you know what? We don't, but I'll get one. He's like helping her. Oh my God.

He's sweet. I think she just overthinks before she says it. I think it's actually a smart thing because most real estate agents, they're liars anyway. They're just trying to make the house seem better than it is. I love that she doesn't lie. No, no, no. And she just wants to make it nice. She's not. But here's the thing. She won't flat out say, I don't know the square footage. She'll be like, look over here. Yeah, it's like a deflection. Spokesman! Smart, smart.

And then we're like, okay. So like we now know she doesn't know, but what she probably should say is, you know, let me check on that. Yeah. Let me get that. Oh my God. What beautiful bookshelves. Wait a minute. Are you at the property that you're looking at and you're saying how many square feet is this?

Okay. And she doesn't know. Okay. But it's funny. I mean, yeah. No, but it's good for us because Jeff and I know. We've already done the research. We already know. But we ask anyway. I know whatever information is available. It's like Cynthia. We're testing. Stop bringing me up. But luckily now he's in escrow and so she won't have to know any more square footage. Right.

And she knows a lot about that condo because we've made four offers. We've seen it twice. So she knows a lot about that condo. And I love that building. It's just the other ones. Yeah. High Valley Parking. Hello. Door man. Concierge. Hello. This building? Yes. Oh, it's like the New York lifestyle. Yes, buddy. Oh, it's a whole lifestyle. No riffraff getting in there. Where is it? No riffraff. Come work out of my gym. You have your own gym. Yes.

So wait, you made four offers? Like how come, like what's happening with that? It's an escrow. Oh, it's happening. But we had to, it took a long time. We went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And then we had to wait for reductions and we had to do all that. But it's a great deal. Amazing deal. Like talk about,

The dynamic duo and MJ coming through on... She did come through. A unit owned by an asset manager. Like, you know if you're buying from an asset manager, you're getting a good motherfucking deal. Like, later on, someone's going to benefit from, you know, someone else fucking up. Is it West Hollywood? Did you hear about the... Good for you. The Sundack? No. Why don't you tell us about the Sundack? So, it's on the second floor. So, the balcony is pretty much...

in the trees. But it's very high up for a second floor because the lobby has massive ceilings. And there's a first floor and so it's on the second floor. So it's called two but it's basically three or four. There's a lot of vegetation around there. And you have to be like on the fifth floor or something to clear the trees. And so we're on the balcony. She's showing me. She's like, this is perfect for sunbathing. But it's like she's sticking her head in the tree. In the tree. In the tree.

But that building has a gorgeous pool area. No, I'm not sunbathing on my balcony. I'll be down in my brand new pool. Yeah, there's a gorgeous pool area. Yes, yes. Come on for a chump barbecue. On the west side of the building. Wow. Yes. And there's laundry on our floor, but it's also where the trash chute is, but we didn't know that. So she was showing us the laundry that she was going to show Brogan. She opened the door. She's like, oh, my God, that stinks.

You have to smell this. I was like, no, I don't. Oh my God, I love it. That's hilarious. Let me ask you this. Why are you limping? I tore my hamstring, I think. Doing what? I...

Well, I was in Palm Springs over the weekend for Memorial Day for my best girlfriend's bachelorette party. This is a messy Michael story. It's the first one in a long time. You know, I hadn't been drinking. This is my first weekend of actually drinking again. And we made a pact. We're like, we're going in hard.

And I... How long were you on the wagon? Is it on the wagon or off the wagon? I was on the wagon since like January. Okay. I had like... At Chum Con, I had like one or two shots and a drink, I think. But this was my first time like going hard. Like going in. Okay. Thank God it was the last night of the trip. I stepped... I went to step and I stepped in a puddle of water. But what were you about to do? A dance move? Well, I don't know if I was doing a dance move. I was...

I used to be really limber and I used to be able to do the splits. So I was like pretending that I was going to go down into the splits. But when I stepped, I stepped into water, a puddle of water that I didn't know was there. I dropped to the ground like a drag queen. Like my pussy popped on the ground. That's how low I got. And I tore everything instantly. So you went down to a full split. A pussy pop. Full split. And I had to be carried out the emergency exit. Oh.

Oh, yeah. Right to urgent care? Oh, yeah. Why was there a puddle at the bar? Oh, God. And I get in the car to drive to go back to the house because I had to get my leg up. And I get a text from my friend who lives in Atlanta. Hey, I heard that you fell in the middle of the bar. Are you okay? I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? We're traveling that fast. Somebody in the bar knew me and was texting people.

So, I have a lip. Well, at least you still have your teeth because the last, you know, there was a time where we went out and he lost a tooth. Yeah. Yeah. You fell off a platform. We're not going down this narrative again because I'm in the best place in my life. But you fell off a platform and you broke your tooth. I did fall off a platform. Were you working? I lost my tooth. Were you working at the bar? Were you trying to do a split then? No, that time...

That was the time after Luann's Cabaret that Jeff and I went out, and I somehow, I don't really remember, but the next day I woke up and my molar was missing. Oh. Something happened between the bar and home that I lost my molar. That was years ago. I wouldn't blame it on drinking. That was years ago. It's a coincidence. Yeah, that was a coincidence, that one. Totally. That was an old Michael. Did you find the molar? No, never found it. Did he swallow it?

No. No. I don't think so. Someone else did. Oh, my God. Wow. That was the old me. What did they say at Urgent Care?

So they did an x-ray, and they said it seems like either a tear or a pull. I'm going to go get an MRI today. Oh, wow. Well, I'm glad your private parts were okay. Yeah, is your hoo-ha still working? What about your balls? Still working. Because that could have been bad. Testing this morning. Still working. Okay. Oh, good to know. Shout out Austin. Patrik was on the phone for a second. What happened to him? Oh, he was there on for like 20 minutes. I think he just dropped. Oh.

We want to promote their coffee reads, by the way. Yeah, they're going to be in New York at the same time that we are next week. June, I think, 4th through the 8th. Wednesday to Sunday. Pola2.com from their hotel in New York City. Because they're on the radio on Friday and they're doing coffee reads. Oh, Patrik texted me. They're staying in Midtown, I think. Patrik said, I had an audition to play an 80s serial killer afterwards. That's why my hair was that way. Oh, that's cool. I wonder...

He should have gotten it. I wonder if he got it. Well, isn't that something you should tell someone? Like when you're sitting down at lunch and your hair looks freakish. Right. You got to say, I have an audition afterwards. Yeah. You're just waiting for the question. He wanted you to ask. Did he? For sure. I was trying to make things right. I was not about to ask a question that could go left. When you started dating Zetty. Yes. Did you kind of go underground like Michael Beck does in a relationship?

No, because when I started dating Zeddy, he is currently 10 and a half years younger than I am. And I was worried like people were going to think I was some like pervert or whatever. And he was young. And I was like, we're just hanging out. So I would just help people be like, who's the guy? I'm like, oh, that's Zeddy. We're just hanging out. And finally he got irritated. He's like, bitch, we are not hanging out. We are dating.

I'm seeing you. You're seeing me. We are not hanging out. That's what bros do. We have sex and we're dating and you're not seeing other people and you're not allowed to. And I won't either. And that's that. He put his foot down. Cause I've,

I've only known you for a few years, but you've had two relationships since I've known you. Right. First one was probably about six months. Yeah. And then this one, how long has it been going on? We're about six months right now. Yeah. He goes underground. He disappears. But I support this time going underground because apparently this one is a Harvard lawyer or a Yale lawyer or something. Harvard. Harvard. And he's the best. Is he not? He's amazing. Was he there when you did the splits? He was not.

Thank God. Yeah, he was not. So we didn't see messy Michael. This was like a girls weekend. Tooth girl's Michael. No, this one's a keeper and I'm in love. So I'm just like in my honeymoon phase. Oh, you're Instagram official. We're Instagram official. But also it's twofold because I'm like, I'm in a new relationship. Also, you know, I'm working on Vanderpump right now and there's a

a shit ton of pressure on that show and a lot of eyes. So I just wanted to be clear-minded. And whenever I hang out with you outside of work, I'm not clear-minded. Don't blame me on this. Well... You're just a lot more fun when you're not in a relationship. Once he gets his points, you won't have to worry. Once he gets the points, he'll know. Like, 24 is ambitious. I'm thinking it might be somewhere closer to 22. It's 29 because I am diabetic. Oh.

Okay, going back to that. You're going to have to cut out alcohol because that has a lot of points. No, I'll just eat less. He would sooner cut out food. No, but you can't have yummy cocktails and stuff. No, no, I don't need that. I can do soda. I can do tequila on the rock. No, yeah. Comisario. Comisario. You can drink that straight. With that tequila, make sure it's comisario, please. Sure. Okay. It's fewer points. Yes. So how long have you been doing it?

Weight Watchers? Weight Watchers. I did it for three months. I'm actually on, I'm at the end of it now. So do you know, will I become familiar and know every, like, this is two points, this is four points. You will. You will have a brand new relationship with food. Do you have a app or how do you track it? I love my relationship with food. There's a tracker on the phone. You have to download the Weight Watchers app. Yeah. And then you can literally just scan everything. Are we allowed to tell you exactly how many? Weight Watchers hack?

Which one? Tell me the other hack. The other hack, you know, if you don't hit the points, then they just... What? You gotta say it now. They go away. Okay, what are you talking about? They have their own GOP. Okay, yeah, okay. So I'm glad you brought that up. So if you don't hit your points, then you get the shot. They have a shot for you. Okay, well, no, let me... Okay, that's the short version. Oh, okay. So the way it works is once you...

Start your new conversation with food and you do the program and then you lose because you will lose if you do the program. Like my goal was 50 pounds, which was super ambitious of me. I literally lost like 25. OK, that's great. In three months, which is a lot for three months. That's amazing. Really just from points. But then what happens is like, well, I won't speak for everyone in the world that's been on Weight Watchers. But for me, I like started to plateau.

And that's normal. That's like a normal thing, especially at my age because nothing's moving. So you start getting the shots. I'm like on the other side of menopause. So no, Weight Watchers has their own semi-glutide clinical stuff that you have to talk to the nurse and the dietician, blah, blah, blah. And then if they feel like you are a candidate, then they will give you the shots to get over the hump to get the next bit of weight off. Well, I just go straight to the shots. I'm on the other side of menopause. No, because what happens, then you have to stay on the shot because you didn't have the new relationship with the food. You're right. I need a new relationship. And you didn't...

Oh, but with food. With food. Okay, yes. With the food.

Oh. You will immediately, like, I'm serious. I'm serious. Like, when the food comes in, like, you will automatically look at the menu with, like, new eyes. You'll be like, okay, if I'm going to have the burger, I'll have, like, the lettuce version of it instead of the bun. Yes. Or I'll just have half of it if you just have to have the bun. Splitsies. You don't have to, like, the great thing about Weight Watchers is you don't have to give up the stuff. You just can't eat a lot of it. Like, I would do half of a turkey burger. Yes. And, like, instead of all of the fries, I'd do, like, 12 fries. Okay.

Do you ever do this? You probably don't do this, but maybe you do. I eat so fast that all of a sudden three tacos are gone, and I probably could have just had two and been fully satisfied. That's our problem. Even during when we were shooting and we would all go to lunch, we would sit down, and within 15 minutes, we'd be done. We'd scarf down our food, and we'd have burgers and fries and all that, and then we'd get to set, and we'd be like,

Food coma. Yeah. But you only have like 30 minutes to eat probably. Do you guys get like an hour or 30 minutes? It's kind of wild. Yeah, but I eat two minutes. You should have 30 minutes, but he rushes us. You should eat slow. They say it's not like... Brogan went to a class when he was a kid who was telling me last night where they told them to take... It's like mindful eating. They taught this to him. You take...

take the tiniest little bites. That's why he eats like that. And then you chew it like a lot. Yeah. And let it really like liquefy. You eat like a lady. And if you drink lots of water in between your bites, you get full faster. It's true. How many points is water? Zero. Zero. Okay. I'll have a lot of water then. Austin will take an

hour to have a meal. He chews really slow. That's annoying. It's kind of annoying because I'm such a fast eater and I'm on to the next thing. I'm a fast eater. He just sits and he takes his time and wants to converse. Ty's a slower eater than me. I'm like, let's go. And he hasn't finished. I actually admire it, but

Yeah, it's hard to eat slow. It's way easier. Have you guys really tried eating slow? No. It's very difficult. It's hard. MJ eats slow. She's a greaser. She'll take a little bite, a little nibble, and we're all done. And MJ has not had half. And she's still doing it. Yeah, totally. My guy Prince is like, he'll eat half, and he likes to eat the other half later. He's lean. Yeah. And he's a skinny man. There's no other half for us. He bought a sandwich for Ty. And why are you doing that?

Yes, I did. Go ahead. We're the same. And he didn't even eat half the sandwich. He ate the whole sandwich and then told Ty that listen. I shouldn't have told him. I did get you. I was thinking of you, but unfortunately I ate it. It's a thought that counts. Totally. Christina, New Jersey, she's very interested in the Egypt trip.

- Okay, all right. - Hi Christine. - Egypt is not happening, Jeff. Made sure that that did not happen, that trip. - But try Gluissimo. It's like Egypt in a bottle. - Really, Reza? - Christine, you really wanted to go to Egypt?

Yes, I did. And actually, we were the only one. No, they told me when I called to make the reservation that it was full up. And I said, oh, I waited a week or whatever it was. We heard you talk about it a couple of times. Let's face it. And hi, everybody. Hi.

So when you called, it was full? They were trying to save face. That must have been another. No, no. I'm telling you, I would have gone. It was a good deal. Thank you. We did that with Chumkot. We're sold out. Sold out. No more tickets left. I feel like you may be confusing my Egypt trip with someone else's Egypt trip. But I appreciate the fact that you wanted to support this.

Despite Jeff's sabotage. Christine, what would be great for you better than Egypt? ChumpCon 26. Yes. So save your money. Because it's going to be expensive. All right. We're going to take a quick break. Reza, have a great weekend. Thank you for being here. All right. We're going to take a quick break. Change is always happening.

As your friend, I've been very proud of you and how well you're doing this year. I think you're probably, I would imagine you're having one of your best years, if not your best year. Yeah, absolutely. So you are now working on your third show this year. Yeah. So you're leaving when? I leave next week. For Charleston, South Carolina. Yes, for a show. Can we talk about that?

Can we say the show? I don't think so. I mean, people obviously know what it is, but I don't think it's been announced yet. But it's probably something like Southern Hospitality, maybe? I would assume it's in that family, yes. Okay. And you'll be gone for three months? Yeah, until the middle of September. What do you do with that fancy, expensive apartment of yours while you're gone? I'm getting rid of it. You are? Yeah, I'm getting rid of it. I love that apartment. And what are you going to do? I think when I get back in September, I think it's time for Austin and I to move in together. Yay!

That was my next question. Wow. Are you putting your stuff in storage? I'm going to put my stuff in storage. We're never going to see Michael again. I'm putting my stuff in storage. I'm selling my car. What? The Porsche. The Porsche that we love. Yeah. I'm just kind of like getting rid of everything and starting fresh. Wow. When I get back.

I want to get like a, I mean, I'm not, listen, I'm not rushing the gun here, but like I want to get a kid-friendly car just in case in the future there's a child in my life. This seems to be really moving along quickly. Six months. Let's get a house first. No, no, we're going to, we'll do everything the right way. I'm just thinking future-wise. You mean you get married first before you have children? Yeah, I think so. Well, the other problem is I'm having trouble getting in and out of the Porsche. It's terrible.

It's so low. It's low. I can't do, I stopped doing low stuff. It's so bad on my knees. But you can do the splits so easily. Well, apparently not. I think that has expired as well. Oh,

Oh, so you want to get a higher car. I have to get a higher car. I can't get out of that car. Like I just had all my toilets higher. I don't like low toilets. Like they have high ones. I fall too. I hate those low toilets. When I go to the toilet, I just fall. Yeah. That's how I get into my car. Because you need the high ones. Make sure the house has the high ones. I was telling Shane, you know, I look at those Carrera, Porsche Carreras on the road and they're so sexy. He'd have to, it'd take three people to pull me out of there. Literally. I have to hold on to the handle and like.

Pull myself up. Luckily, you can still do pull-ups. Yeah, well, my arm strength is still there. I'm up to two now. Oh, look at you. Cynthia, do they have high toilets at the Godfrey? They do. Is that where you are? I am. Oh, great. What room?

Don't do it. But if you do want to talk to Cynthia Bailey, just call the Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood. No, stop, because they really called me there. Ask for Cynthia's room. I have checked out. It was a quick in and out, but I had a hotel etiquette question, and I think they actually listened, so I don't know if I'm going to get in trouble. But anyway, long story short, so usually when I'm there, I can be there for like two weeks sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes even longer. So the last time I was there for like two weeks, and I was there with my guy, like,

Like we had like eight everywhere and then we wanted to like heat up our food. So they don't have a microwave in my room. Okay. So we went and got a microwave. It's only like 80 bucks. So now I just have them store a microwave in the storage. And then when I check in, I have them send the microwave up if I'm going to be there for like two weeks. I honestly don't see anything wrong with that. Thank you. You go there so often. You're an ambassador for fuck's sake. Yeah. You should have your own kitchen.

You should have access to the chef's kitchen. And your own parking spot. I mean, I guess I could ask to go in the kitchen to heat up my food at this point because I live there. Yeah, you live there. It's different. I think it's fine to even microwave. Yeah, I just put my name on it. I'm just like, when I check out, I take it, put it back in the box. I think it's fine. Where do they put it in the room? Well, I don't know where they put it.

I think they just put it in their storage somewhere. No, no. In the room. Oh, in the room. Oh, in the room. Well, I have like a small desk that I don't really use because I'm never there. I just sleep there mostly. And I put it on the desk. Best thing I ever did. Dr. Donna would have no room for that microwave. Thanks for listening.
