I don't need therapy. I don't need a prayer service. I need the fucking facts. Get to the point. She shut me down. I know. She's like, I don't want this toxic man near me. See, you're a nice person. Don't tell anyone. Well, nobody thinks it, so it doesn't matter. Jeff Lewis has issues. Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Doug Budin and Ryan Bailey join the show. We're hurting from ChumpCon and recap all the drinking and debauchery.

Ryan has lost his voice. What's going on, everybody? Your voice is okay, but it's a bit strained. Yeah, it's strained, but I think it's good. I think it's a sexy voice. Oh, so sexy. Okay. You think? I do. I like it. All right, so we're all still recovering now from ChumpCon, which turned into a fantastic episode.

And I had low expectations walking in. Do you think that's what it is? I think we all have such low expectations. The fact that we did it. I just expected a lot to go wrong is what I did. So I expected a lot more problems. And I, I guess in hindsight, it's great that all the problems were in the beginning in the planning stages because it really all went off without a hitch at all. And a lot of it had to do with, I mean, obviously Liz was incredible. Liz and her brother, John. And then, um,

Doug, you were great. Michael, Ryan, Jameson. I mean, it really went well. I had seen so many comments about it being like, oh, this is Fyre Fest. No, this thing was the best. It was Coachella, bitch. I mean, it was better than Coachella. Yeah, they're still stuck in traffic. Exactly. Now, did you ever, on Friday we spoke about this, you were very disappointed, Doug, that you were given a room at the Connors,

the Conrad versus the Crockfords. Did you ever, were you able to switch rooms at all? No, well, I was given the option to go to the check-in desk Friday morning to switch rooms, but I decided against it. I, as I said, there was conviviality at the Conrad. You're so humble. The 38th floor was great. Low maintenance. You know, there were no problems with the rooms at the Conrad. It was just that I was all excited for the Crockfords.

But the rooms were fine, and despite the fact that Sarah Colonna took every opportunity... She sure did. And it continues. Yesterday, she presented me with a chocolate bar that I guess the people at the Crockfords were giving. Oh, that was so yummy. It was so red. So she gave you one of her chocolate bars? So she's like, oh, here, I thought you would enjoy this more than me. I hate that woman so much. Wow. I mean, I have to say that Crockfords is real nice with its own lobby and...

It's an oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Yeah. It really is. The hustle and bustle meet at floor 38. Did you ever get invited to Kelly Dodd's parties? No, but I did get invited to Kelly Dodd's house. She's having me and Rebecca over to her and Rick. To a pickleball party. Yeah. We've got a great bedroom for you guys. She wants us to come to Huntington. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Wow.

Okay, so did you think it was funny? I guess they were having a problem with the pickleball party house. There was some sort of plumbing issue. On Saturday night, we're backstage and dealing with this. And Rick was on the phone, and Kelly's like, oh my God, this is what's going wrong. And she goes, it's Murphy's Law. And anyone that's familiar with Murphy's Law, it's like anything that can go wrong will go wrong. But Kelly's like, it's Murphy's Law. When something bad happens, it does. Yeah.

I'm like, okay, that's close. That's close. Bless her heart. Well put. Bless. She got best dressed, in my opinion. I mean, she looked so beautiful. She was looking hot all weekend. I thought...

Everybody was... I mean, personally, Crystal... Monica looked beautiful. Monica in that long thing. But for the night of the show, you know, Crystal changed about 10 minutes before the show started. Because of Patrik and Paul. Because Patrik and Paul were like, no, you look too simple. Crystal came in in an all-black outfit, a black leather skirt, black top, and then saw that everyone was... Ugly leather pants. I did say, look at you in your ugly leather skirt. I said I had to say that. Well, Patrik and Paul bullied her. When we're backstage, like, waiting, like...

to go on. And she was like, I'm just going to rent my room. And she came back and she goes, I have a sort of housewife dress. And it was this, you know, glittery, it was gorgeous. The first time Patrik and Paul ever bullied somebody. Wow. Amazing. Paul came to me, he said, you look great. I said, oh God, I better go change. Made me nervous. Were they sincere? Yes. That was, I mean, that was, now...

You and I were talking about the thorn, the rose and the thorn. I'm just curious, Doug. I was going to wait until we're live, obviously, to find out. What was the rose and thorn for you for the weekend? I don't think of roses because I had the most truly...

spectacular experience. But there were a couple of thorns, personal thorns. The first, you would be unaware of this, Jeff. The ChumpCon 2025 chat thread in our text group is a huge thorn because somebody decided... 20-person text. Well, let me tell you how much time you ask any of us. One person split it into two different groups. Yeah, why? So you have to answer in one and then somebody answers in the other. Carrie was complaining about that.

It is driving me, and it continues to drive me crazy. So that's my biggest thorn. I was rude to a handful of people at the after party, and that was a real bummer. I regret it. Why? What happened? Doug apologized to me. I got...

I got a little anxiety at that after party. I felt very closed in, and I just had to get out. We were outside. No, I got sort of cornered right off that patio area, and there was no exit behind me, and I really just got very uncomfortable. Well, I understand that. So there was a VIP area, and it was a deck, and it was kind of like cantilevered over something, and nobody was...

there was no security. No. So more and more chomps kept getting on this deck and I could feel it bouncing. Oh. And I'm just like, when this falls, where do we land? Are we over, are we over a pool? Like, did you not feel that thing bounce? No, I didn't go up there.

And then there was just more and more people, and no one was stopping them from getting on. I totally understand that. I was getting nervous. So I was short with it. I said, I'm sorry, I got to go. Like, I really got very physically. But I felt bad about that. The other thing is, you got emotional with me, which makes me uncomfortable. And that was all at the same point. Oh, yes, I got emo. Yeah, so that was a thorn. And the last thing is, I was so fucking hungry the entire weekend. I got one soup dumpling in yesterday, and...

Then you have food in your teeth, so you can't chat. So I was hungry. I think one of my thorns, that mulberry pizza, I knew by Sunday, hey, Jeff, how's it going? I'm like, when they know your name at the pizza place, it's a fucking problem. They had Jeff sign the wall. Yeah.

I was there every day getting pizza. Literally. It was so convenient. All of our venues were in this one area, and Mulberry Street Pizza was right there. So it couldn't have been more convenient. I went on four separate occasions. Same. That's all I ate. Well, yeah, the Thorn Friday night was the drinking. So many chumps would just hand you drinks. It was karaoke. It was chump-a-yokey. Yeah, but before the chump-a-yokey, that's where it started. And then by the time chump-a-yokey...

I thought I was hallucinating watching Patrik and Paul singing It's Raining Men. And I was like... I was like...

just laughing so hard. That was the thorn. Because it felt like a nightmare, you know, in the best way. A fever dream. Yeah, exactly. I just, the Chumpy Yoki was by far one of my favorite, and brunch too, was one of my favorite events. I agree. And the only problem is, we had some, you know, we had some good singers, some fair singers, and then there was Patrik and Pol that were screaming It's Raining Men. My ears started to bleed, I'm not kidding. And I,

who is the nicest, most considerate person in the world, he grabbed the mic from them and was like, okay, we're done. Because I was like screaming, make it stop. I was going to go find the breakers and just shut the power off. But then Carney Wilson singing Hold On. I don't care how old that song is. It is the best song. No, but it is an iconic song. That's a dig. No.

That one song she had. Forget that it's 30 years old, you know, and she's a one-hit wonder. But you know what? It still slaps. No. I sang with Connie. What I'm saying was it was an extremely special moment. It's a timeless piece. Every time she does that, it's, like, amazing. Again, because that's the one thing she can do. So whenever she does it. Right. Right.

the only song she ever sang. So yeah. I was a beast on the tambourine. I was a one man percussion department. All right. So we do have to talk about La Kendra. Oh, of course. So we found out La Kendra was going and I said, oh, once the little people, you know, once we had to let it go with the little people, I needed people in the audience to take questions.

So I hired La Kendra. Yeah. Hired her. Oh, you did hire her. Yes. Okay. And so we went over all of the schedule, everything. And as you know, Doug, being our producer, what time were the chumps supposed to meet before the live event? Yeah.

Everybody had a call time of 6.40 p.m. However, we then said on Saturday there is no time between the 5 to 6 meet and greet, so we are all going directly from this 5 to 6 meet and greet to the green room. There will be pizza, and then we're going right on stage. But she wasn't part of that meet and greet. She was. Oh, see, I didn't know. She started. We're at the pool party, back up. Pool party was also a very big success. 12 to 3. A lot of drunk chumps. Like, very drunk. Like, somebody really fell and hit hard, and I'm surprised...

But you had insurance. Well, we're going to talk about that. So, LaKendra, first of all, we had a baby chump there. So, mom chump was there, and she brought her 22-year-old son, who was the cutest kid. And they were platinum passed out. They were at every event having the best time. And he dressed like a pro golfer the 22 years. He did. He really did. He really did. He was a pro golfer. I thought he was at the Masters. Cable knit sweater. And a baseball cap. So, I was there when they first met, LaKendra.

and this little baby chump. And she, because she's like, how old are you? Because he was all over her. And she's like, how old are you? And he was so funny because he's like, how old do you want me to be? And so I don't think she ever got the real age. And if she did get an age, I don't think she knew he was 22. Anyway, I did see them leave the pool party together. Yes. Okay, but I assumed it was like,

you know, she was going to show up for the event. Right, so then we all were at the thing. Then we were backstage. Yes. The show was going to start at 7. It was now 6.52. And there was a lot of, where's La Kendra? Yeah, a lot of where's La Kendra. Has anyone seen La Kendra? Because she was going to be doing Q&A in the audience, and we realized we only had Rick Reventhal. Well, I have an addition to that story. At 5.30, I left with...

Liz and right Liz? No, to go to the venue and John, her brother. He needed a personal escort. I had to like put the things together and LaKindra was out there and I go, LaKindra, do

Just one more reminder. We're going to go to you. One question and one question from Rick. And she looks not in my eye, but directly. Yes, Ryan, to the right of my eyes. Well, we forgot to mention where we found her. So she wasn't backstage. And we were running a few minutes late. That wasn't our fault. We were all there. It was like a seating thing. We're waiting for everyone to see. And then Liz was like, wait a minute. Is that LaCandra sitting in the audience? Yes.

She's just sitting like all the other- With her new boyfriend. No, just hanging out. Just sitting there waiting for the show. This is gonna be a good show.

Having the time of her life is slammering. At Champyoke, she was so hysterical. She, like, kicked off the party with, like, a virgin, and she was hysterical. She did a split? Well, she's not a virgin anymore. No, she's not. No, she's not. Now, I know she's been on the show several times and says she doesn't sleep with anyone on the first date. Good Christian woman, yes. But then when I ran into the kid at the brunch, I'm like, hey, where's... Oh, first of all, he's like, I'm in love. And I go, oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. And he goes, I'm like, where's La Kendra? He's like, I don't know. She left my room at like 6.15. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. So it happened again after. And did you notice her hair was like a little askew? The wig was a little askew. A little askew. I think the wig was backwards. Oh, my God.

But it wasn't a first date because they met on Friday at the meet and greet. Yes. So Saturday they were fully coupled up. She was able to perform during the show. She performed all right. She was texting me during the show. She was like, do I interrupt at this point? And I said, well, let's wait for a break in the conversation. That was the thing. During the live show, I'm getting texts from Liz. I'm getting texts from Doug. And then I'm getting texts from LaKendra.

She was drunk. She was texting me during the show the whole time. And I'm like, I'm on stage. You see me. And she'll be like, wouldn't it be funny if? I'm like, this isn't a pitch meeting right now. Thanks, LaKendra. Here's the thing. We thought about it. You know, we talked to Michael. Michael, by the way, fell off the wagon. He was on the hard 75. For more than 75. He was clean. Michael Beck. Michael Beck.

But you did hear about the chump, eight years sober. No. Fell off the wagon. No. Yeah. But she said. Was that true? Because. Oh, it's true. Somebody recorded you saying that. Oh, it is true. But I did. I saw her at brunch. She looked OK. She was she's like, I'm a little hungover. She goes, I'm not going to drink again until next chump con. I'm like, OK, it's an appropriate time. So once a year is fine.

Yeah, I think in AA they say that once a year is okay. Okay, yeah. It's one weekend. I barely drank. I think I had one drink the entire weekend. Is that true? True. I meant to have a Bloody Mary yesterday. I was all excited and I just never had a chance. I wish I could say that. I know. Were the Bloody Marys good at the brunch? Do you know how much my Bloody Mary was at the pool? Oh, at the pool? No. How much? Well,

I didn't realize because it was huge. It was in a Tumblr. It was $75. Oh. What the hell? At the after party on Saturday night, I ordered a Tito's vodka with cranberry. $55. For a vodka soda? I did have a drink. I will say that mine was like three Bloody Marys in one.

So that's worth it. Yeah. I did have a Jameson bought me a drink. I did. I forgot how expensive Vegas is. Everything was. But that hotel was beautiful. Oh, it was. It really was an amazing venue. I loved it. We never left. I love my sheets. It's so funny because people were like, you obviously are being paid to post. I'm like,

No, we just love Resorts World. We were not paid anything. They should have paid us, but they didn't. You're right. Right. Because all we did was talk about Resorts World. We had people from other hotels that I knew who worked at the other hotels. And I was like, is it weird for you to come to a competitor product? She's like, no, we love to see what other people are doing. And she gave where we were staying a great review. Are we allowed to talk about the feud with Saweetie?

Saweetie. Saweetie? She's still in the green room. We got to tell. Okay, first of all, Saweetie was late to the pool party. She was supposed to go on a lot earlier than she did. And I think when she was supposed to go on, she was on a plane. So I don't think she even got to the venue until 4.30. Now, one of the security guards said to me, she canceled three times and then showed up late.

So she had a big entourage. I ran a tour. You did? I ran a tour at the Crockford Hallway. I didn't know that. Oh, she had an entourage of like seven people. And this one guy's like, you look familiar. I'm like, oh. He goes, you're that house guy. And then the other guy was hitting on Ty. Nice. On Ty Dolla. But I saw Saweetie. She was very nice.

Well, you know she wouldn't leave the green room. Yes, I heard she went in our green room and they couldn't get her out. Security was banging on the door. She signed the green room wall, though. When I walked into the green room, it said Saweetie with...

April 10 or whatever. But did we need the green room at that time anyway? I know they were worried. Hot Nanny Lisa and her husband were like furious because they took all of the refreshments that were for us. That's why I was so hungry. Well, yeah, she was setting up the pizzas and stuff, so they needed access before we did, but it all worked out. Ryan, I have to say you made me laugh because, no, Doug, I'm going to say it again.

you did an incredible job directing, producing, whatever. And I know it was a self-appointed position that you weren't paid for. - Nobody asked. - And you weren't asked to do it. - But I admitted. - Incredible. - But I needed it. - My anxiety, we needed to know. - But you did an incredible job. So we had this meeting right before we go out on the show, on the stage. And it was kind of a long meeting, don't you think?

Literally, no. It was a lot. Oh, it felt long. Well, no one else knew the run of show except for like the four of us. So Doug was like, I'm going to gather everyone in the hallway 20 minutes before we go on stage and just kind of give everyone a rundown run of show. Here's what to expect. And I felt like it went on and on and on. Because you knew it. They didn't. Well, and then Chumps have ADD.

So it did take a while. But what I like is after all of that and you did your big motivational speech and then Ryan was like, hey, Ryan, you want to say a few words? It'll be what it is. LAUGHTER

I'm like, there you go. There you go. But then Jamie Kennedy led a prayer. Yeah. We had a lovely prayer. Our Alexis Bellino homage moment. We all came together. And we all left together. I mean, there are no big feuds, right? Doug was the first person to post at the show. Kian, can you get on mic, please? I was. So Kian's back at the office, and you're looking at everybody's posting. Yeah.

And what do you see, Keon? I see this backstage angle of Doug in a suit on stage and it made it look like you were kind of hosting or moderating the show.

From this angle. From Sarah. Oh, from Sarah. Yeah, yeah. You mean after. I thought you meant during the show. Very vague and vague. You were the first one to post. Oh, okay. And you did it before anybody else because it looks like you maybe moderated the show. Yeah. So I posted only once the whole weekend, which was a group photo. That was the only thing I posted. But I noticed you posted a lot of pictures.

pictures of you. Just you. Yeah, I did stories the whole, well, that's because I was alone some of the time, but I posted throughout the whole weekend. Sarah Colonna sent me that picture of me. I thought it was beautiful, and somebody else sent me that picture of me and Carney doing karaoke, and I thought that was beautiful. I think those are called like a carousel or something, like your main thing.

Not stories. But as you were saying, you were under the impression that Doug was hosting the whole show based on that single picture of himself on stage. Oh, I see what you're trying to do. No, I put the hashtag TomCom2025. If I wasn't there that weekend, I would have assumed from this photo that, oh, Doug is, you know, the host of the show. Yeah, but it was Ryan, actually, Cian. Oh, shit. I didn't know. See, the post looks like it was Doug.

- Karni Haarhaar. Good, well that's what your own assumption, it's not like I wrote copy that's, I loved hosting the show. I just did show comp. - I will say this, Doug afterwards came up to me and said, "You did a great job, but this will be your final one." He did say that to me, yeah. - I think as an intern you did a great job, Doug. Line one, Liz from Ohio. Liz, you made it home okay.

Oh, I was fine. I was sober, not like you guys. But I just wanted to say, Oscar, thank you for letting me put me through. I just want to say everybody was extremely wonderful and nice at the event. I had gone by myself, so I was a little scared to go by myself. But I just had explained to Oscar that La Kendra was in the booth in front of me, so I saw that whole crowd.

thing happen in front of us that you were talking about so I was like what is wrong with her she is hammered yeah and um uh yes you're right I think her wig was off I don't know so I was and she she was screaming into that microphone and we're like is she like screaming in there but we saw her sit I didn't know that was the kid that you guys were talking about but he was that his mom

His mom is hot. His mom doesn't even look like his mom. I mean, she's so young looking.

But yes, that was his mom. He's only 22. I mean, how old is she? Okay, so they were sitting right in front of us. And so when she came over, she sat right next to them. And I thought, well, that's kind of weird. So she was sitting there the entire time talking. And then she'd get up. And then she would come back and sit down. And then I think it was towards the end of the show. I don't know if you guys saw this. He walked over to her. And they were in an embrace. And he was speaking to her.

In the ear. And it looked like they were going to make out. And I was like, God, get a room. They did get a room. Yes, more than one.

Well, I didn't know that, but thank you for telling us. But I also wanted to say that I met Doug, and Doug, I love you. I don't know if you remember me. He lives from Ohio. I met you Friday and then Saturday at the pool. I'll take a picture with you. You were really nice and happy, and I loved it. You put your hand on my butt, but I was good with that. Classic Doug. Classic Doug.

I'm walking you over to HR. But is there a but or is it all just yay and positive? No, no, no. Remember you said...

You said, I only had one drink, too. So you said, I learned where to put my hand in pictures, and then you slid it down. Exactly. That's what I was going to say. Did you notice that? That's right when I learned about this. So what happened is I always put my arm around somebody's shoulder when we take a picture. And a chump was like, you know, you've got to stop doing that. That makes your arm look really fat and weird, and it ruins your clothes. You're supposed to put your arms down behind the person.

And then you accidentally brushed against Liz's ass. Unfortunately, the first 30 times I've done this, I end up putting my hand either down somebody's pants or on their ass. So I now have to look before I put my hand. Did you notice Doug's wig was a skew? Thank you, Liz. Liz, you had a good time, Liz?

I did. I wanted to send you the picture of me and you, but I didn't know how to send it to you. You can maybe send it on Instagram, at Doug Budin. I would love to see it. Thank you, Liz. Thank you for going. Appreciate it. So, okay, in regards to La Kendra, next year's ChumpCon...

I would love La Kendra to attend, but she won't be working for us. That ship has sailed. I saw her on Friday night after karaoke. I got pizza with my parents, of course. And then as I was walking out of pizza, she was walking into the club and she's like, don't judge me, Douglas family. Yeah, because Shane's parents were there. I will say your parents were, your mom was the coolest. She was the nicest, sweetest lady. And Jeff, your parents were there?

Yes. So Ty, Ty was sitting next to my parents and I'm like, hey, how'd they like the show? He goes, they cringed a few times. And he goes, I could see them get like a little tense. And I go, what? I go, what upset them?

Monica, I don't know if she had been drinking or what, but she said something very explicit on stage. About how much the fan social would cost. Yes. So we were talking about fan social and there was like a kind of a joking, you know, what would it cost to sleep with you? And then she went a little further with that and got very explicit. Specific, yeah. And I can tell my parents who are, they're not like...

I don't know. I mean, they're not uptight people, but I think Ty was like, yeah, that was one. And I go, what was another one? He goes, Zach. The ass in the air? Zach pulling down his pants and then putting his ass in the air. For context, Zach was showing everybody how he was laying on the floor. During the substance. He had his underwears on. But can I tell you, the original bit was going to be that we were going to have Shane do it because we didn't think Zach was going to do it correctly. Shane literally, I'm in my booth, and he's like, oh, I have a bit coming up.

bit coming up. Just move over a little bit. I was like, okay. We thought Shane was going to do it, but Zach jumped the gun and literally pulled his pants down. So there was that. Or we allowed him.

And then there was the... I'm trying to give away. When Zach and Joey made out. You released that, right? Information? No. I'm just saying it. What do you mean? No, in the green room. No, on stage. They did that bit. No, on stage they did that bit. And then my parents were a little like, yeah, just maybe thought it was a bit inappropriate. How did Ty do this weekend?

You know what? Ty Lack's crazy. Really? I think he really, he loved the circus. He did. I mean, I think he, walking into it, it's a little, I mean, he really, I think he did well with it all. He seemed very calm throughout. Well, except for one time. What? Because he saw me, I was panicked because when that, when we're on that deck that was bouncing, did you see that chump hop off?

on the railing and started twerking and I'm like she is gonna fall and break her neck and I how dare you LaKindra I like looked over and Ty like just jumped and he's like went over there he's like get down he's like get down and cause I was so afraid she was gonna fall and then as you know

A chump did throw up in the elevator. No. Oh, I talked to her. She threw up like a fan chump. Threw up in the elevator on her way up to her room and then in the hallway threw up all down the hallway. Oh, God. Yeah, we did have a chump throw up in their bed, which is dangerous. We had a chump denied boarding on her flight home. Because she was too drunk. So we had a chump that was refused. They refused to board her.

And then we did have a chump pass out for dehydration and the EMTs came and that single handedly could fuck up my insurance for next next year. Well, then let's not talk about. OK. I don't think they were chump. I think it was somebody else at the club. It's a big hotel. Big hotels were open. Carrie Underwood was playing that night as well. So it could be Carrie Underwood fans.

You're right. They are crazier than the Chumpies. Those Harry Underwood fans. All that said, just walking around the hotel because everybody was there. You know, like I bumped into Reza yesterday walking to Starbucks. Dude, Reza was awesome. It was so exciting just seeing everybody all over. Did you see the Chump that brought in their own bottle of tequila at your brunch? No.

- No. - She was just drinking it from the bottle. - Oh, that's-- - Oh, wait, wait. There was one woman that showed me, she had a bracelet that was a flask. - It's amazing, I saw it too. - And it was a real diamond on the opener. - On the cap. - And at the pool party, she was like, "Here."

She must have had that custom made. Yeah. Go to JeffLewisMerch.com. So to explain it, it's like this big gold bracelet with like a diamond on top and then you unscrew the diamond and then she puts hard alcohol in it.

It's kind of amazing. And desperate. But, you know, she'll get like orange juice or something and then just pour it into the orange juice. So you're saying somebody brought a bottle? I want to get one of those bracelets. Somebody brought a bottle to the... Someone brought an entire bottle of tequila to your brunch. And I thought she would just like get a juice and like drink it. She just opened the bottle, popped it open and was just drinking that. She said she was out till seven. I walked over, I was like, hey, that's empty. She's like, don't judge me. I was like, oh, I'm not judging you. I was just like, that bottle's empty.

-Sponsored by Novo Nordisk. -Hola. Hey, you speak Spanish, but do you speak liver?

Okay. People with conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure could be at risk for a potentially life-threatening liver disease called MASH, or metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis. Whoa, I could be at risk. I'll ask my doctor. You're bilingual. No, I speak liver now. I'm trilingual. Ask your doctor about your risk and if you should be screened for MASH.

Is it true that you went to the pool party and at first you did not have your ID? After everyone said, bring your ID. No, no, no. I was one of the ones. So we went to the pool party, but the pool party is a club. So I purposely didn't bring my wallet because I didn't know where my stuff was going to be.

So we all go down and we realize we need our IDs. So I'm like... And they were... You couldn't show a picture of your ID or any... They needed the... They kept saying physical ID. So I'm like, Brandon, back to the room. We go back to the room. And it was as far as can be. I mean, it was the other side of the property. We go back to the room.

We're now back 10 minutes later, and we get past ID. Okay. And I open my bag, and she's like, what's that? I said, it's my fiber pills. She's like, you can't bring pills in here. I said, it's fiber. She said, you're going to have to throw them away. I said, I'm not throwing away this fiber pill. So I'm like, Brandon, turn around. We're going back. We went back again. I bumped into him. We go back. We go back.

We leave the room again. We're at the elevator bay. Liz types into that group chat, oh, and no water. I'm like, Brandon, turn around. We go back in. That is so you. We drop off our water bottles. No fiber pills. I know. I wasn't getting, I couldn't.

I couldn't. So, yeah, I got turned away. It was because we were the first group. That's how, otherwise, nobody else would have brought their IDs either. So, Jameson was part of the first group. Well, I walked in with Paul, and Paul had Snow White 90210. And they're like, the one security guard goes, that's a dog. And then he's like, he's going to scream discrimination. Just let it do it. Yeah. He's going to scream discrimination. I, myself, was going to call the ASPCA.

That dog, when they, I mean, they bounce it around. It's not a purse. I mean, the way they carry it around and bounce it around and like throw it up in the air and dance with it. And it's just insane, that poor thing. Did you see the two amazing ladies that brought the Snow White dolls that looked more real than Snow White? They looked healthier. Those stuffed animals looked healthier than the dog. I was going to show one to Ponce. This is what your dog needs to look like. You could probably switch it. They wouldn't know the difference.

The Chumps really showed up. They took the wrong one home. The Chumps really showed up in theme, like with the dogs, with the clever shirt. Yeah, it was cool. It was really fun to see. I got a tomato. Somebody gave me a tomato stuffed animal. Do you see ChumpCon 2025? If you're not blowing, you're not going, sure.

A guy came up to me. He had a shirt that said donkey tooth slut. And he's like, I just walked down the boulevard wearing this shirt. I was like, that's real dedication. It's true. The guest and Jameson and I had a great conversation with the chusbins. Oh, we did, of course. It was like chump and chusbind. Yeah, it was very cute. Amazing. I don't know because my stepmother doesn't normally drink. I wonder if she had a cocktail. Because...

random people were coming like joey came over he's like your stepmom just invited me to christmas i'm like i don't want to spend christmas with joey's housing

She was texting with- Now you know how Carrie feels every time you invite people to her house. That's exactly the- I was with Claudia on Friday. She wasn't drinking Friday night because I got her water. That was all she had. But maybe on Saturday. I don't know. She probably needed something to get through that show and the pool party and everything. I did. Joey had a really nice outfit when he arrived at the pool party. Which, it was expensive. It was like an Acne Studios matching set. Like, that's expensive. Now, we-

went missing. Yeah. And he had no clothes. Shocking. By the end of the pool party, he had no clothes. So he had to walk through the casino barefoot and somebody gave him a t-shirt that said, I'm a personality and not a speller. I'm a personality and a speller. Really? He just lost his clothes. He lost all of his clothes. Allegedly, someone saw it and took it to save it for him.

Well, that bitch never gave it back. And then it went missing or something. Oh, it's probably on Poshmark. MJ's Poshmark. Wait, what was the question he got wrong on stage that we asked him? Oh, wow. Where did the Mayflower land? He said Rhode Island. He said Connecticut. You're right. He said Connecticut. But what I love is you asked him to spell entrepreneur because he's like... Yeah, I was like, what's it like to be a digital entrepreneur? Can you spell it? No, and then he said it. I go, follow-up question, spell entrepreneur. I've never heard anyone spell it that way. It was like...

E-N-T-I-R-A-E-I-O-U-Z-Y. I'm like, what the fuck is he doing? How many T's an entrepreneur? I think the other funny thing about Plymouth Rock is it's not only that he didn't know it, he's like, and no one else knows that. Right, he said, who would know that? And then Reza said, yeah, it's like, Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock. And Crystal knew. I put in, because I wrote those questions. There were some trick questions. One of them was, what's the longest river in America? They all got that. Not Joey.

But Crystal was like, Missouri. And it's only one mile longer than the Mississippi. I would have said Mississippi. Crystal's one of our smartest chums. Very smart. But I thought Cynthia and Reza did great on the quiz as well. Well, because Cynthia said whatever. Joey didn't even know how many cards were in a deck of cards. Cynthia was very strategic because Cynthia's anthem was whatever Crystal said. That's what she would do. Perfect. Let's see here. Kim Irvine.

Kim, I'm so sorry. Are you at a meeting this morning? Oh my God, I am paying for it. So Kim is the one that was eight years sober. Sheik Kim. Can you hear it in my voice? So at what point did you surrender and just start drinking again, Kim?

It didn't take long. I mean, my girlfriend and I were part of the platinum group and everybody had a cocktail in their hand. I'm like, okay. Okay. So this was the weekend. It went downhill from there. Was there like an experience with one of the chumps that we were like, I want to talk to this person. So I got to have a drink. Like liquid courage. Yeah.

No, because you know what? I have to say, everybody was so warm and engaging and really, really open. So no, it was just fun. I mean, I just chose not to drink anymore. And I thought, well, this is a good place to start over again. You don't have a problem. No, no, no. That is different if she's sober by choice. Yeah. Yeah. That might feel better. But I have to tell you, my girlfriend and I sat with Baby Chump's mom. Oh.

She is the loveliest woman. I know. And super generous, and she does not look her age, but LaKindra and baby Chop was like, okay, this is happening. LaKindra's mother-in-law now. I was thinking that in nine months, she's going to be a grandma. Oh, my God. And by the way, didn't she say a couple months ago LaKindra wanted to be a mom eventually? Yeah, pregnant by Christmas. It's actually pretty smart. That's really cool. Because grandma has car dealerships. Oh, my God.
