Katie Lowes & Reza Farahan: Fat Watch & Gluten-Free

When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops. Stop fucking apologizing. You're not making it any better. You're just reminding me how late we are. I know I'm specific. I know I'm a little high maintenance, which is why I tip really fucking well. I don't want to start shit, but... Oh, really? Really? Okay. Really? Jeff Lewis has issues. Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Katie Lowe's and Reza Farahan join the show. We talk about Katie's gluten-free cruise and we catch up with Reza on the Valley Persian style. Plus, I'm on Fat Watch. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I see that you brought pretzels today. I did. You're welcome. Which, did Kian guilt you into this? Because we had a whole conversation how we were going to subtly ask for more pretzels. Oh, really? Oh, you know, he just asked. Oh, you just flat out asked, Kian. Yeah. Didn't you? It did it? He said it came out organically. I don't even remember. What happened? I can't. That was yesterday. Kian, give it to the mic, please. Yeah, Kian, we need you. Well, you just said that you were amazed at how many sales that you had. And I said, well, you know, we're filming tomorrow, so it might be a good idea to promote your business. Oh, smart. Smart, Kian. How many pretzels did we get today? Was it like 20, 18? No, I don't know. I'm just the face. Is it true that Chomps, the last time you were on this show, Chomps bought 4,500 pretzels? 4,500 pretzels have been sold to Chumps across this nation. It's insane. I haven't seen my husband. I have to do all the school pickups. No, I'm kidding. It's been amazing. We're completely at our max capacity at Gold Belly every single day. But that doesn't mean anything, Chumps. You can still order. Oh, my God, isn't he cute? That's so sweet. He's so cute. We're looking at pictures of your husband in front of pretzels. We just had our 20th, I think it was our 20th Valentine's Day together. Anyway, pretzels are happening. We are sold out of mustards, but don't worry. Mustards are still happening. Wait, what do you mean? So when are we getting more mustards? They're coming. Everything's happening. We just have to keep going, guys. Just keep going, chumps. So if chumps buy pretzels today, when do they ship? Jeff, you can't ask me the hard-hitting questions. Okay. Well, I just want to manage people's expectations. Yeah. So what I appreciate about this- Should we call Adam right now and ask him? Well, this is what I know. This is what Adam says. when they ship, they are fresh, like just made that day. Yes. But remember that if you order today, it might be a week and a half before you get it, but when you get it, it is fresh. Yes, yes, yes. They are made and put on frozen the morning they are made. So all you have to, if this is on Gold Belly, if you're ordering them in the LA area or any of the surrounding areas, they're made that morning and they're put out like that day. You know, guys, it's like bread with salt on it. So it has like a real expiration sort of situation going on. But again, I'm just the face. I'm the pretzel princess. I don't know 100% what I'm talking about. And if you want to try these amazing pretzels, you go to shappiepretzels.com, correct? Correct. Shappiepretzel.com. Shappiepretzel.com. Oh, shit. Pretzel. But you're close. Because last time, you've really come a far way. Because last time, you were only calling them snappy, slappy, snazzy. Shappie pretzel. So the last time you brought them, I did have two or three. Oh, you did? I cannot eat that many today. I love you for taking that. Are you about a size 14? Things are dark over at my house. And we've tried them all different ways. Just so you know, we freeze them all the time, and then we heat them up in the microwave or in the toaster. We put pizza on it. We put cheese on it. We put eggs on it. We put sandwiches on it. I can't do it. Effing delicious. So I looked at Reza, and I have thin envy because I think he's even thinner than the last time he was here. Just be careful. We don't want like a Seacrest situation. Because he used to be really handsome, and I think he's lost too much weight. Totally. I don't want you to lose too much weight, but you look great. I'm always hungry. It would be too hard for me to get to Seacrest weight. I'm like looking at the pretzels. I want to eat one. Have one. I'm not going to. Have one. It's so good. Come on. This one is worth it. Skip something later. Don't skip the pretzel now. Always choose Shappy Pretzel at ShappyPretzel.com. So I had my first interview for the show, Confessionals, on Friday. And I wore a sweater similar to yours today, except yours looks better on you. It was a bit clingy. And so as a result, we had what was called... How many cameramen did we have, Mike? We had a couple cameramen. We had a couple sound guys. Everybody was on Fat Watch. Because if I moved the wrong way, you could see yet another roll. So I'm not kidding. It was Fat Watch. They had me leaning over just a bit and then like covering my stomach with my arm. That's how fucking humiliating it was. Then Ty flew in and I said, I'm sorry because I said I would be leaner when you got here and I've actually gained more weight. And I said, it's a good thing you're a chubby chaser. And he goes, I am not a chubby chaser. And then Ty, the nicest person in the world on Sunday before he left, made a fat joke. So then stylist comes over. Chew stuff for the week. She says, I think I want for you to focus on some monochromatic looks. And I go, because I'm fat? And she said, well, I can see that you gained, you're not fat, but she goes, I can see that you gained a little weight in your face. Oh my God. Yeah. So I, as of yesterday, am on fucking Ozempic. What? I started yesterday. Muscle talk. We're starting with the .25 And the next week we go to the .5 We need to I think this is karma Because you make Michael Beck When I'm in here get on a scale Right And this is just it coming back at you But also I just have to say You are not fat This is crazy You haven't seen me naked You are not fat I know you want to I do You would be I think you look great You would regret that decision Oh come on I was just on Watch What Happens Live and Andy asked me to say five things I would tell my Shots of Sunset self. And number five was don't eat so much in the offseason because there are some confessional looks from Shots of Sunset. I'm like, oh, my God, you're humongous. Like, what were you thinking? Like, put the fork down. You know, it's even funny. Like, I'm sure you notice this. in the beginning episodes of The Valley, Persian style, you were heavier. Yes. Like noticeably heavier. Yes, 100%. That's going to be my confessional look. Because I was stress eating. I'm going to be noticeably heavier. Jeff, they were telling us we didn't have anything. Like we're off to a slow start. You know, all the things that producers tell you to freak you out to like deliver were in my ear and I was panicking and I was eating more than I should. I love that because I'll have to slice in your confessional throughout the rest of the season. So it'll cut to you being like, you'll be so skinny. It's just going to torture me. But you'll be so skinny by the end. I want to throw that whole thing out. I want to throw it out and I want to start over. I think this is nuts. This is too much for me. Speaking of nuts, can we talk about the pantry list? My husband packed nuts for everyone. Yeah, but your husband clearly doesn't like you because- I look like Fred Mertz on the packaging. So explain what this is and what's on the package. Okay, so my husband started a build-your-own trail mix company that's very Persian-centric, like with nuts and seeds and things that dried fruits and spices that Persians eat. It's called the pantrylistofficial.com, and he made an AI-generated image of the two of us, and he looks adorable, and I look fat and old. It's true, and he's not exaggerating. I feel like you need to post this on the Instagram, on the Jeff Lewis live Instagram. Your husband looks like fit and handsome and you look just like a blob. A fat old person. Wait, you're the one without a beard and mustache, correct? I look like Fred Mertz. Look how unflattering that is. Yeah, you look like a marshmallow. That's not great. My nose is huge. But that doesn't look like you. It literally doesn't look like you. I look bald and fat. Yeah, why are you bald? Well, by the way, I thought, I mean this in the most loving way. I thought when you showed me the animated, I thought you were the other one and you just have a shaved face. But yeah, the fact that you're the, that's a bigger bald man. I'm the fat old one. There's a difference. That's cute. Oh, wow. Your husband's so handsome. Thank you. Wow. He's a cutie. He's really handsome. I'm so sorry. You do seem depressed. Yeah. Well, it just didn't end there. Oh. So after I went on a Zempick and- Do you feel okay? I already lost a pound. Stop! Who's administering the shots? Shane will be. Is that true? The doctor didn't love that. He was showing it to Jeff how to do it. He's like, I'm going to show you how to do it. And Jeff was like, show Shane how to do it. He was like, I'm going to show you how to do it. I go, show Shane how to do it. And he said it again. I go, show Shane how to do it. And so Shane did it. Shane's the one that's going to be injecting me once a week, every Monday. You know what? We're going to cut to, I'm going to be back here months from now, and you're going to be so upset because it's going to be the opposite. Your face is going to be hollowed out. Like, I'm just saying, this is a slippery slope. I have a lot of friends that just do it for a couple weeks. They lose 10 and they get off of it. And then what happens? You know what happened is, once I started shooting the show, I don't work out as much. I don't walk as much. You're so busy. And the weight just- Did you really work out before? Fuck off. I'm just been gaining it fast. So that's what's going on. Okay. So Caroline Stanberry was here and she looks absolutely amazing. She did a lower facelift and she said, you have to go see my doctor, Dr. Kasabian in Beverly Hills. So I went there yesterday. I went there. This is a full self-care weekend. All I want to talk about is lower eyes. That's all I want to talk about. But unfortunately, Dr. Kasabian thinks that's not enough. And what exactly did he say about the lower eyes? Well, he was like, you can't just do those because you have to do the uppers as well because you have the crease. So if you just do the bottom, you'll look weird. And then he's like, but if we just do the lower eyes, your cheeks, they're too low. They're not going to hold it up. So it's all going to start to droop and droop and droop. Oh, my God. So you were left needing a full facelift. So what Dr. Kasabian is recommending is upper eye, lower eye, lower face, and neck. I'm like, this is a lot, Dr. Kasabian. What does this all cost? I don't even know that yet. He didn't say. But the way that they shame you in that office, like he said, Shane, come here for a second. So Shane stands right next to me and he pokes at Shane's lower eye. He like look at how Shane skin would just snap back Shane is like five years old He a baby Then he poked me And he goes Yours doesn snap back And not only did it snap back It left a big inditation of his finger On my lower eye Oh I would have been He would have given me a stye I would have left his office with a stye And a low grade depression I would have needed Prozac And Ozempic It took a half an hour for that little inditation Fill back in. Yes. I think that just means you're, I'm always going to take this out. It just means you're dehydrated. Too many shappy pretzels. Too many shappy pretzels. Correct. Well, I'm glad you're off the Celsius because that's going to have a huge impact on the skin bouncing back. Those Celsius are poison. I don't think it's bouncing back. According to Dr. Kasabian, it's not bouncing back. There's a whole, like he pointed out, I mean, he's a perfectionist, that guy. He pointed out everything. Maybe we need a second opinion. Yeah, I'm going to get one. That was the second opinion. Oh, shit. No. You had a third opinion. Really? Okay. Third. Fourth. Just like, oh, gosh. Are you considering all these procedures? Well, I was thinking about it this morning. It's a lot to do all at once. I don't know if he could just, but I'm very against upper eye lifts because I think it changes your look. But what he said is when you're seeing these celebrities that do the work, they're doing brow lifts. And that's why their eyes are so wide. He was saying, look, you've got just a little- He's looking at me and I'm like, obviously I've done nothing. My eyes are like, okay, keep going, keep going. Because he was showing me before, after. I go, look, this guy's eyes are wider. He goes, he did a brow lift. He goes, that's why he got- You mean where they cut this and they pull up there? Pull it up. You don't want to be a bad- I don't want to do that. Or Al Pacino. So he said to me, what we're going to do is we're just going to take out, we're going to cut a little bit of skin in the upper eye just to remove a little bit of the fat. And then they do kind of a slight pull. and he said this is a really good age to do it because you know we're right there on the cusp where you're gonna like really need it so it would be very subtle the upper would be very subtle here's why i don't think you're gonna do it because you're too much of a workhorse what are you gonna do how are you gonna heal you're not ever taking a day off this then you won't get paid then you can't pay for the thing you could do do it from home like it was covid and i have a recommendation if you are considering any or all of them don't break it up recover and heal one time do not go back multiple times that is a lot i told him i said i'm gonna look like frankenstein and i said at this point with all that work why don't we just find a donor and do a fucking face transplant why don't we just do that at this point you're basically taking half my face off oh god i don't i think you should just let it ride i just want to do like that i want to just do upper lower eyes for now and let's get the little face up and let's just work our way into the into the and then are you just gonna show up here with the like rachel zo sunglasses yeah oh that's a good idea i'm gonna borrow a pair yeah you're gonna be fine eyes are easy i want to do eyes just and let's just do eyes and like take a break did he give any cost estimate to do the whole yeah that's where i'm curious is about no it'd be close to a hundred no it's like it How do you know all this? I have a lot of female friends. Oh, okay. I know nothing. I'm in my 50s. I have a lot of... If you're going to Kasabian, the upper, lower, that, and... What about just upper, lower? 40. Fuck. Oh, God. Jeez. You have a child. It's worth it. She's encouraging it. Oh, she is not. Is she really? It's worth it. She's not going to give it... Like, if you come down with a Frankenstein bandage, she wouldn't be scared. She'd be like, yeah, dad. Well, she's the one that... But when I did the fat repositioning, she's the one that iced my eyes every night. Wow. Yeah. So that's why we have children. She was my nurse. So they can ice your eyes and take care of you when you're old. She's in prep. I was a little out of it. She also, what did she do to my face? Drew a big penis on it with a sharpie. She decorated me when I was passed out. It was cute. No, it wasn't. She put stickers on it, like unicorns and stuffies. At least it wasn't a Sharpie. I know. That's what I was thinking, too. Gosh, she's cute. So, I don't know. We got to. So, you're depressed. Like, this is just too much. You're really, like, existentially thinking about aging. I just thought I shouldn't have left the house yesterday. Yeah, you should have. Between the Ozempic and that. But it was Dr. Kasabian, by the way, because I said to him, I go, before you make, like, a final decision, maybe I need to lose that 10 pounds. and he said, I recommend Ozempic because he probably was like, you have no self-control. He's like, I'm a chump. I listened to the show. He's the one that gave me the Ozempic. Oh. Kasabian gave me the Ozempic and I got to go back in four weeks for more. Jeff didn't even ask for the Ozempic. He was just like, please take this. Is that true? I didn't even ask for the Ozempic. I fucking love Dr. Kasabian. He said, this is my gift to you. Literally. He gave it to me. And shot him up. It was surgery prep to get those extra LBs off and prep for the surgery. But I've decided that my office, I want to get some sort of group discount from Kasabian. I want my entire office on Ozempic. I want to be on Ozempic so bad. No! Oh my gosh, this is insane. I'm sorry, but Kian just got to his goal weight. He doesn't need it. Jameson if he did Osepik he'd evaporate. I have three housekeepers one nanny that could use it and then Is she pre-diabetic? Is she does she have like really bad visceral fat around her organs? Sleep apnea? Because this is what this is supposed to be used for. I don't want to lose my butt. I just want to lose my stomach. Well I don't think you can dictate that. I think you just have to One of Kyle's daughters went on it and she was showing clumps of hair in her hand. Okay. You don't think I'd be hot bald? Oh, yeah. What are you going to do without that? What happens if you're doing no Zempic and your hair all falls out? My hair just grew back. You just have to take, make sure your vitamins and minerals are on point. Honestly, I've heard as long as you're eating protein, like a lot of protein, you won't lose your hair. Because that's happened to my mom. She lost her hair. Oh, that's right. Your mom. And you don't eat protein, Jeff. So we need to lock in on. He just, he scarfed down two vinegary eggs that he didn't even. He's over a six foot tall man. Two eggs is not enough protein. You're going to have to have like 30 grams of protein a fucking meal. Yeah, I got to get protein shakes. I don't want to lose my hair. No. Could you imagine? How did you get your hair back? Did you already? What? I'm just playing catch up here, folks. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you. It started growing back. I started using HIMSS. Oh, yeah. Finasteride and Minoxidil. Okay. Oh, yeah. Minoxidil, I've heard, is amazing. That's women who have cancer. People who have cancer. I started that. I started using Dr. Well, a long time ago, Dr. Groots, which is a Korean beauty brand. they advertise on the show and then they also had me do like a reel for them. So I started using it. I use the Dr. Groots. I take the hymns and then also Chaz Dean has something. It's like a, I don't know what's working but one of those things is working. But they're all doing shit. Yeah. One of those things is working. I don't know which one. So you're doing them all until the end of time. And Shappy Pretzels I heard helps with her growth as well. I love it. That happened with, that fixed ED. That was the, that was the pantryless trail mix. Yes, I strongly recommend. Chappie Pretzel for ED. Wait, hold on a second. Don't you also shoot, don't you do testosterone too? Yeah. Oh my God, this is wild. And peptides. Are you on peptides? Yes. Let's make the list of Ozempic. It's you, Shane. Yeah. Shane, no. You do not need Ozempic. Oh my God. It's cheaper than lunch. Aurora, Maria, Ruth, Debbie, who else wants it? Monica doesn't need it, but she's going to probably want it. If we all do it, she'll want it. I'm just sort of shocked that it's taking you this long to even try it. I feel like you're so on the cut. No offense. No, I just mean like you're on the cutting edge of like everything LA. He was making money on Weight Watchers. I'm surprised it took you this long to try it. Yeah. Wow, I don't know how to take that, Katie Lowe's. I love you so much, but you're just on the cutting edge of everything that everyone in LA is doing and it's been out for so long that I'm shocked that you haven't been like, oh, I'll just see if this week I like. I still like Weight Watchers, but I just need to get back down to that goal weight. My first agent made me join Weight Watchers. Who else takes Ozempic? Does anyone here take Ozempic? No. Because I'm going to the .5 on Monday. Is that strong? I don't even know. No. You're going to be so sick and you're not going to be able to do this show because you're going to be peaking. No sicker than I was after I ate those pretzels. Hey! Guys, the pretzels do not make... Oh, because you ate three or four of them. That's why. You won't. Because they're that delicious. Oh, my girlfriend. You've never tried it? No. Because I'm... You have self-control. No. Because if you get on it, you have to stay on it. I got a very supportive chump on line one, Christina, New York. Hi, Christina. She's worried, Jeff. I want to hear this. Hi, Christina. Hey, Jeff. Hey, everybody. Okay, so I get it. I understand you're getting older. You look great, though. And I'm worried. I'm concerned because I don't want you looking. And we lost her. That's a great time to lose her. Have you ever seen a man that has, I don't know, maybe we don't know about it, but usually the guys that get it done, they look crazy. What, the facelift? You can't look, ugh. The eyes? Yeah, and like the eyes even. Sometimes it's pulled too tight. Yeah, those are the brow lifts. I don't know. I'm not doing the brow lift, Christina. Not doing the brow lift. Don't worry about it. And I'm sorry, those people aren't going to Kasabian. They're going to some bootleg, you know, Tijuana doctor. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. God now I'm worried about how much Kasabian There's no discussion of pricing I love No discussion I'm kind of shocked about that No he just gave you Ozempic As a gift You look great Look at how thick you are This is amazing I just think that I think LA's standards are They're not normal This isn't real This is insane Can we talk about your- I have a question. He's so depressed. Play the wah-wah. Play the wah-wah sound. No, I got one for you coming up. Okay, great. So in light of what has happened to Jill Zarin, and both you and I can make some controversial statements, and we're both back on TV again, is there like, are you ever afraid you're going to say something that's going to lead to a wah-wah? Are you more careful now than you were before? I think so yeah absolutely well I was also when did that start well I just had coffee with Andy last week and he was the one that was telling me he was kind of like a careful warning uh when I'm on this show talking about Bravo for this show on this show for context Jill posted a video after the Super Bowl yeah her her thoughts and that got her removed from the cast of the upcoming show He not worried that I going to go on a racist rant or anything like that He just wants me to be careful about what I say about Bravo. Like contracts, fines, money, you know, production. You know, you and I tend to criticize production sometimes. And that's the stuff he wants me to be careful about. So that message was received. In regards to the show I Look I'm I don't expect to be saying any Well Yeah Yeah I'm sure that some people will be insulted Certainly I did say something In a confessional that I was a little worried about About who? Well I said You know Zoila's sister works for me Okay And I said something like Zoila brought the jean pool So she might get insulted by that But Zoila is you know noticeably more intelligent um aurora's a hoot she's so funny so you know what she said so yesterday was raining really hard here in la yes and i said to aurora i said hey you're on the schedule for tuesday maybe you just want to stay the night i don't think you want to drive she lives in orange county yeah yeah i go i don't think you want to drive home in this range she goes no no i definitely would prefer to spend the night and i said do you have clean clothes and she goes i do in my car. I said, do you have do you have panties? And she said, yes. And I go are they clean or are they dirty panties? And then she goes, what did Maria tell you? Oh my god! That was just once. And I go what are you talking about? I was joking. I go, what do you mean? She goes it was just one time where I had to re-wear them. Oh my god. And she just like offered that information. Did she turn them inside out? Alarming. Yeah, that's alarming. Why would she say that to you? Why would she say, what did Maria tell you? Maria didn't tell me anything. You just gave yourself up. Oh my god. But, you know, Monroe's back. She got back yesterday. Yay. So Aurora's been asking for some time off. She wants to go two weeks in Nicaragua to see her mom. Okay. And I said, look, you know the deal. You have to submit a request for time off and we have to sign off. And she said, who has to sign off? I said, well, I do. She goes okay I go Shane And she goes okay And I go And Monroe She goes oh no No She will never approve it I go go ask her So she's playing She's doing her playroom play And she goes Monroe She just She goes Monroe You would approve Time off right Cause I want to go Monroe just like stop She goes You can go now Oh my god Yeah That's amazing I can't wait to know Monroe when she's old. I cannot wait. I cannot wait. She sounds so fantastic. I'm sure you do this with your kids, but it's interesting to watch them and see what their passion is. Yes. What their hobbies are, what their interests are. She's very creative and very visual. Love. And I noticed that she asked me, she goes, is Julie coming tonight? Julie's the stylist. She loves kind of like tagging along with Julie. That's awesome. But she reminds me of my grandma because she's a little harsh. But Julie will pick something and she goes, those shoes don't work with those pants. And so she will go in my closet. She'll grab another pair and she'll say, these work better. And I'm just like, she's right. We have to get her into like fashion camp or fashion school. Or maybe she'll be a stylist. That's amazing. They have camps that are like fashion where they get to design clothes, then they make them, then they walk the runway or they put like all that. She would love that. We need to do that. Right? We did Valentine's Day yesterday. How'd it go? I sent pink roses. So I had, how many dozen? You are the absolute. Three dozen, I think. Did you not go to Amadi Designs who gave me my diamond earrings and get the Diamond M or something for her? We already have the Diamond M. I got that for Christmas. Okay, right, right, right, right, right. That's right. She got this perfume that, so I had this client who was wearing this most amazing perfume. I go, I've never smelled this before in my life. What is this? She goes, I got it in Paris. We found it and we got it relatively quickly. And it wasn't that expensive. It was like 80 bucks. So she got perfume. She got a Z Momo, which is a big Lububu. Like a big, big one. A big, big one. Oh my God. 24 inches. It's so cute. Oh my God. It's like a little baby. And by saying finding the perfume in the Lububu, you're doing this, right, Jane? I was able to source them. No, but the perfume we just asked and we got the link. that was not a big deal. Wow, this is so lovely. How is somebody ever going to measure up? How is any crush she ever dates ever going to measure up for you? You're not done. This is wild. No one is ever going to measure up. The men that come into her life are going to be like... Are fucked. Which is good. Good. The standard should be ridiculously high. But still, this is insane. Wait, we're not done yet. We haven't even given the big... It's not insane yet. She got a Birkin. What else did she get? No, she got a Goyard. Are you fucking kidding me? It's so cute. So cute. We got the blue one and we're going to monograph it. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen. But she asked for it. I'm like, how do you know what Goyard is? She's doomed. She's doomed. How does she do like in school and stuff? We don't care. Does any of that matter? Because like, does any of it matter really? I mean, school is just like kind of archaic. Yeah, like it's archaic though. It's just like, I don't even, how do we even measure up if school is going to end up getting her a great job or anywhere in life? She actually is doing good in school. She's doing well in school. We have a tutor, though. That's okay. Yeah, twice a week. That's okay. That's what's in the work. But it's really doing well, much better in school. I think she still can't spell, but she can read now. Huge, huge win. The more you read, the more you can spell. It'll come. That is true. If you read every night, spelling gets better. Oh, that's what it is. Oh, maybe we should read that instead of watching Traitors. You can do both. Put on the subtitles. I cannot believe she got a Goyard bag. It's so cute. It's so cute. Any one of them. My kids got chocolate. Like nothing. I like to set precedent that like, no. Like gifts is not. It's already ridiculous. They have a billion toys. Mm-hmm. It's too. Jeff. Mm-hmm. And? And? It's not all for me, but I did go through her closet and just count her bags. That's a lot. We have the rule you bring something in, seven have to go out. Oh, no, no, no. And be given to charity. Oh, yeah. They get one toy. And also the big rule of like if they get $3, $1 is saved, $1 is spent, and $1 is given to charity. Who is giving them $3? No, but like it just, it doesn't matter even if it's $100. But like I'm saying that's the life rule. Like to teach them as they move along in life. She's been making bracelets. Okay. And she wants to give them to sick kids at the hospital. Great. Do you know an organization to do that with? No. Because I do. But then she also said that she wants to sell them. And I said, you're not selling them to the patients, right? And she said, no, no, I'm going to give them to... Separate order. We're going to do one for the hospital. But I said, you're going to give them to the kids, right? She goes, well, the children I will give them to. I said, so you're going to sell them to adults in the hospital? And then she repeated, I'm going to give them to the children, which means, yes, I'm going to sell them to the adults. because those adults might have kids that aren't sick and the sick kid comes home with the bracelet and the healthy kid might want one. She could do a Tom's thing where- Oh, yes. Sell one, give one. Yeah, like a kid buys two essentially, but one is given to a sick child. I don't know. Guys, I'm not a business person. Obviously, I'm just the face of Shappy Pretzel. She's not supposed to wear any jewelry to school, but she had three bracelets on today. How'd she sneak that in? Underneath the sleeve? She just doesn't. Some of those girls, they just don't care. Well, it's a stupid fucking rule. It is a stupid rule. Sorry, that's a stupid fucking rule. I couldn't go to that school. Hi. Yeah, no, you couldn't. You could not with all that jewelry. Let me see, let me see. All right, so I will jump into it. On Sunday, I had Scary Sherry over at the house. She did a reading. she said to me how's Mercedes and Reza and I said they're great I said the show's doing really well I said it's had a big response I'm guessing they'll get a season two she said I'm concerned oh no and I said why what's going on I said what do you mean I said this show has longevity She says, I'm concerned about the fighting and the conflict. She says, if the fighting continues, if it escalates, that you will not get more than another season. And I said, that makes sense to me because I think it's important. And I really kind of thought about this. I am watching the Valley Persian style. I love the show. I think it's perfectly balanced between conflict and toxic relationships and happy relationships and friendships and connections. It's perfectly balanced, right? Why does it work? It works because you and Gigi and Mercedes are so good, so strong. I love you guys together. You have a great relationship with your husband. You've got three people with negative, toxic relationships on the verge of divorce. One is already filed. I feel like she's right. I feel like if there's more conflict, it'll get darker, you'll lose the balance, and then we're not going to want to watch that. It's going to become one of these other toxic reality shows. I completely agree. And the one thing that I love, Jeff, is the scenes like me and Mercedes sitting with the lady from the Lab Diamond Company. Yep. And she and I get to have a moment that's very real, very raw. But you also see some bickering. And the bickering isn't cutting to the white meat. It's like we have someone who doesn't like living in the valley and she thinks she's above all of us. And so. I don't care about them. I care about you, Gigi and Mercedes. And that is an alliance that needs to be protected at all costs. Because when you guys are bickering, it's always coming. Like when you upset the girls, it's because you're you're giving them unsolicited advice as a as a friend of 20 plus years. Yes. You know, that's coming from a place of love. You're not attacking them. You're not. So I just I kind of agree with her. The the the formula is working and people obviously are responding They had a huge huge huge premiere Yeah no the show doing really well But I think it very important that you guys keep that maintain those relationships, the three, at all costs, because you guys are the anchors. You're the anchors of the show. Everyone else in my, I do like that sweet, sweet guy that lost his wife. That couple. I like that couple. They are such amazing human beings. Adam and I try and have dinner with them as often as possible. We love and adore them. They're amazing. I think it's important that you have happy couples to balance out the toxic negative couples, right? I mean, that sky and bombshot. Oh my God. It's like tough to watch. It's very hard to watch because she literally, she enjoys berating him in front of other people because she's so disappointed in the way her life has played out. Yeah. And she wants, she sees everything she doesn't have as opposed to appreciating the things in life that she does have so yeah i appreciate scary sherry for pointing that out but i agree not bring me up i'll ask her about you like what you paid and she gave him a reading isn't that crazy like what jeff mercedes and i were just talking about this one other thing too mercedes was bringing up the fact that she was going to have an open house at Gigi's sister's house. And in the scene, I was like, you know what, Gigi, you're not being nice. Mercedes is working really hard. She's trying to make a sale. This is not about you, Bobby. It's about Mercedes trying to close an escrow. Yes. And she needs it. And she needs it. And I was really happy that I stood, even though I love both of them, I thought in that moment, Goldnessa was wrong and I had MJ's back and we talked about it and I'm so glad. I love the two of them. When we were off the air, we were not fighting at all ever and so it would make no sense to me to start filming and then start fighting with them. You can't. No, I don't want to. And it sounds to me that that is what could derail the show because it's going to become another, like what Shaz did in the end, you know what I mean? And what happened to that? so I just think I wanted to send you that message and I tend to agree with her do I owe you money? no did she say anything about you? after she talked about Mercedes and Reza wow and didn't bring me up at all there was one other thing that I thought about and I don't know they have to be careful when they bring in new people right I think they could upset the chemistry and they could upset the current dynamic i think if they are bringing in new people it needs to be a friend of and we can just like dip their toes in well i don't want to like spill the tea and get in trouble because you already told me andy had that little chit chat with you so we have not been picked up for a second season but maybe some people from production are texting me saying hey is there anyone in your orbit oh so they're already looking around i have to i i would be reluctant to introduce another full-time cast member but i think part-time would be fine yeah i don't want to disturb the ecosystem i feel like we introduced 147 new people to the audience already yeah bringing more who's greg introducing more new people is crazy to me but you know I'm a team player Now you've You got some good news The last time you were on the show I did? Well every time that you're on the show You like to remind us That you have celiac disease Correct And Just when the show is getting fun You remind everyone And that's a Is that a gluten allergy? It is Okay So is it true that I can't eat the shappy pretzel Sucks But did they reach out to you? I ate it for years I was just diagnosed a year ago Did the celiac Yeah, when I was on the show last time, I said I'd like to be the face of celiac if you want to make it rain, all of that. And yes, the celiac foundation slipped into my DMs and we are talking, figuring out how I'm going to help the cause. Shout out celiac foundation. They're chumps. They are. They totally are. Shout out to the celiac. You mean how you're going to get yourself, secure yourself another paycheck? Always. Guys, I'm an actor. Under the guise of celiac disease. If Jill was still alive on Hunting Wives, she would not be having this conversation. Well, I can't say, but I am always one to use my platform to help people. You're not lying about celiac disease, are you? I haven't had gluten. Like Brooks. I haven't had a fucking... Oh, God. I have not had a fucking... I would be eating this fucking chappy pretzel right now. I have not had a piece of gluten in a year and a half. Is it true that there's a celiac cruise line? There is. Okay. There is. Because some people have. What do you do? Well, because. Oh, my God. Are you going to go on the cruise? Hey. It's a carnival cruise. If the celiac cruise wants to call me, slip into my DMs, I'm available. Listen. It's a carnival cruise. Here's the thing about celiac. I have celiac where I can, like, I'm not the level where some people literally, if they cross-contaminate and their food touches gluten at all, they get violently ill. I mean, dangerous. This is, you can want, want all day, but this is serious shit. I bet you get one little tiny rash. No. And now you're like, I've been suffering for years. It was horrible. But listen, no, no, I had a colonoscopy. And they were like, you're the most inflamed in there ever. You have celiac. Come in and get the celiac-specific blood test, which I did, which came back positive. Dr. Ari Noane, shout out. He's unbelievable. He's an incredible GI. Changed my life. You were inflamed too, Jameson, right? But for a different reason? Nice, guys. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. But so the Sealy Act cruise, for example, like kids and families can go on this and know that the kitchen is completely free. And they don't have to worry because they have to go through the rest of their life asking every single restaurant, every single chef, has this touched anything? Okay, I get it. This is what their tagline. This is their tagline. Imagine a truly worry-free vacation experience. Yeah, that's nice. I'm just going to tell you what I heard before you go. Swingers. Yep, swingers. Yep, I'm serious. Worry-free. Those gluten-free people are horny. They're freaks. They're freaks. They're freaks. They're freaks. You guys are hilarious. Gluten-free and gluten-freak. That's a great tagline. Celiac Foundation and The Cruise, if you want to work with me, you heard it here first. Oh, Bridget in Chicago, line five. Hmm. Bridget. Yes, hi. Hi. Okay, so what dose? I'm on 0.25. I'm going to go to 0.5 on Monday. Then what? No, don't do it. That's too quick. Really? So do like, yeah, do 0.25 for at least two to three weeks before you go up. Because I went to 0.5 from 0.25 after I think like the first two doses. Yeah. And I got really, really nauseous. And then I made the mistake of going from 0.5 to one because my weight loss slowed down. And then I got so sick that I couldn't keep anything down. So just take it nice and slow because you're going to make yourself nauseous. Remember when Megan first went on it and she was throwing up all the time. And Doug. And Doug. Oh, Doug has done it? It just didn't work. Oh, I would have to pull over on the side of the road and like throw up on outside of the car. It was like being pregnant all over again. It's terrible. So I went back down to .5. Oh, shit. Should we do a couple weeks of .25 then, Shane? I thought you were supposed to do four weeks on minimum. The doctor kept saying that Jeff should do the .25 next week. Maybe because I'm bigger. He said that Jeff should do it as soon as Friday. He was like, you could do five days. Pick up the pace. That's crazy. Wow. Take it slow. But I'm 200 pounds, Bridget. What? Fuck off, Shane. No way, Jeff. No way. So maybe I can take a stronger dose. Yeah, just let your body get used to the .25 and just kind of slowly edge it up. Have you felt anything today, Jeff? Like any nausea or hunger occur? I didn't have the munchies last night, which was good. Usually that after eight, I'm screwed. Just standing in the pantry. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. So I did not do that, and I am down a pound, Bridget. So maybe, look, if I'm losing a pound a day, I can stick with the .25. How many days will I have? Take it slow. Take it slow. What? 20? Yeah. 15 days? To lose. All right, thank you, Bridget. I appreciate it. Why do you have this? What is this cutoff, Mark? What is this date? To lose a pound a day. Yeah. Oh, because you want to lose 20 pounds? No, I think that's too much. That's insane. Why are you trying to increase it so fast? He told me to. No, then you're going to lose too much weight. Oh, you're just trying to lose 10 and get off of it. That's what you're trying to do? 10 to 15, and then get off of it. That's what I'm saying. And then gain it back. Yeah, this sounds like a yo-yo, the new version of some yo-yo shit. Well, before you criticize it, guess how I want to gain it back? ShappiePretzels.com. That's how I'm going to gain it back. Well, here's the thing, Jeff. I'm going to melt some cheese on it this time. Just have one.
