Margaret Josephs & Doug Budin: Mattress Pads & Fur Storage

When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops. They said that I am by far the most difficult talent that they're working with. You know, we could say we don't judge, I judge, and I was judging. Money doesn't make you an asshole, but if you're an asshole and with a ton of money, you're gonna be a bigger asshole. Why are you looking at me? No, I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to look in that direction. Why are you looking right at me? Well, Jeff Lewis has issues. Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis has issues. In today's episode, Margaret Joseph's Doug Buden and Lexi Barbudo joined the show. We talk about Cooley Mattress Pad's first storage and gay stamps. What are you doing here in Los Angeles? Oh, thrilled to be here. Well, I'm here shooting some content for my brand deals. I'm here to TikTok affiliate event, which I do not know a lot about TikTok, learning the ropes. These people are making millions. I'm looking at all these people who are dressed. Not the best making a ton of money, which is horrible to say. No, that's actually very, but it's just like shocking. I know nothing about this. I have to learn from the young people. And I'm here to be with you. Did you bring any fur coats to Los Angeles? Cause it's been a little chilly. I should have brought all my fur and that I didn't bring my fur is shocking because it's so warm in New Jersey now. It's 78 degrees. I said, Joe, get that air conditioning on and I'm here staying at the Bel Air hotel and I'm freezing my butt off. You can connected me with Larry at Madison Furs in New York City. Larry took good care of me. Thank God. He put together a beautiful coat for Monroe. And then now my, sent my sister-in-law there. She was there a few weeks ago. Larry hooked her up with a full length mink for $1,000. That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. Larry got a full length mink for $1,000. Well, do you know why? It's vintage and it's really the right thing to do. It's recycling. Yeah. I think so too. It's sustainable. It is. These animals are dead already and let's honor them. It's the good thing to do. But now you have me stress about fur storage. What is this cold storage that you do? Oh, yeah. Oh, I store all my furs. You cannot let them sweat in the summer. They'll shed. They'll shed. Exactly. Did you not know that? I had no idea. You know how you could buy? I've never owned a fur. Oh, even I know this. You know how you could buy storage for your fine wines and stuff? Yes. They have that for furs. For my Justin? This is for your Justin. For the Dowl. My Justin cab. Can you, you're that person who's bringing in a bottle of Justin. Keep it well. No, you need storage for your furs. You might have to build that in the new house. A little refrigerator room. But if our house is always say around 70, do I need cold? It has to be cold. Probably 50 degrees. Shane, can you write this down? We need to find fur storage. Can we stick the fur in the wine fridge? Because that's around 50 degrees. What's the humidity? Yeah, how big is the wine fridge? I'm not putting a fur in my wine fridge. It's full size. It's for wine. It is full size? Like a full size fridge or full size room? No, there's no room for a fur in there. What do you do? Fold it up. Yeah, it's going to look weird. It'll look weird. You'll have like weird fur. Can you please look for fur storage? Yeah, there has to be a fur storage. Because I plan on buying more from Larry. I think that's amazing. Larry's the best at Madison Avenue furs. He really is. And he will refurbish old furs and make other things very beautiful. I love it. He cut it. He fit it. He monogrammed. It was, I love it. Shane, we should get you a fur jacket with a hood. Or a vest at least. I'm going to, you know what? I'm just going to get it for you for Christmas. And maybe for you too then. You should get like a fur romper, Jeff. A fur romper. Oh, for travel. Yeah. Perfect. Because I get cold on planes. I know. Or what about a fur blanket for the house? You could take some old coats and make them into fur blankets. A comforter. A comforter. I would do that. I like that. Or no, fur pillows. I've done that with some of my old coats that weren't in great shape. I had pillows made stunning. Now you have a new hookup for me. I do. Which? Fake Tina. Oh, I did. You know, I did tell you about fake Tina last night. There is a woman that we were told about. Lexi and myself. We were out one day and we were out with very some fancy women and they said, oh, we have time. Do you want to go to fake Tina? I go fake Tina. Who's fake Tina? And she has all the fakes. Now I have bags. What? Bags and clothing. I do not own any fakes. And I'm just going to say that point like I've never been accused of owning fakes. Somebody bought you fake Gucci. But someone bought me fake Gucci. What was her name? Jody Goldberg. I'm just going to say and I love Jody Goldberg. And she just said, get these fake Gucci's. I never wore them. The shoes. You said your real Gucci's were offended that the Gucci's in the closet. I couldn't even put them. I was so embarrassed. They didn't even make it to the closet. They stayed out in my bedroom because I felt guilty putting them next to the real Gucci's. But. So but fake Tina sells fake luxury goods. Here in LA? No, no, no. New York. New York. She has her own special apartment just for the fakes. And Lexi and I, she has to buzz you and what happened? Oh, it's very sneaky. You have to sneak up in the stairs. It's like you're doing a drug deal. Is it a cold word to get in? Like a handshake and a little it is. It's a speakeasy. And what kind of what kind of women were there? The fanciest women you have ever seen in your life. Really? Yes. And are the fakes good? Like they must be apparently so because who knows if these women were not inexpensive, but these women who were very coffed were there. And we heard some people who were presidential. I'm just going to leave it at that had bought it all for her daughter-in-law's air mess. Was it air mess blankets or what was it? I think it was a mess. Blankets air mess blankets all for the holidays, like 10 of them. I want to see fake Tina when I'm in New York. Fake Tina is very wealthy from these things. I bet the house in the Hamptons. Wow. I found first storage in LA. It's very close. It's only $58 per garment per year. Oh, that's perfect. That's great. That's easy. I think I'm getting hosed. I pay a fortune. Do you have in and out privileges? That's a good question. I love in and out. That's a very good question, Doug. These are the things that I will be obsessed about. Because you know what? We need to also refer that to Carrie because Carrie's needs to store her mink. You can come get them out whenever you want. We just ask for a three day notice. Three day notice? Three days? I'm sure it's stored off-site. Yeah, like if you're going to Aspen or something, you need to, you know, you really got to think ahead here. What if we have a sudden cold snap? No last minute trips, I guess. You've never done a last minute trip. True. You really just store for this summer and then you take it out, come the holidays, like right before the holidays. The season. The season. But when I was a kid, my mom had a floor length mink jacket and I was little gay boy obsessed with it. I would open the closet and I would pet it. And I loved going to the storage in the fall with her to pick it up. It was always such an exciting time. Do you want me to get you one for your birthday? One of my toxic qualities is I like for, yes. Yes. Okay. That's such an amazing childhood memory. It really is. What a childhood memory. I think if you get like a normal size jacket, that would be full length on you. Yes, for sure. So you could probably get it for like five in a box. Perfect. I'll take Monroe's when she's done. I'll probably fit. So fake Tina, how do you hook me up with fake Tina? And I'm sure the chumps are going to want to see fake Tina too. Well, I don't know if I will get her number from my friend. And we will go to fake Tina. It's a knock on the door. I don't even know her last name. It's best. I don't want to know. I don't want to know. I don't want to get fake Tina in trouble. A lot of, but I'm not going to lie. I did buy a dress there. It didn't have a designer label in there. I didn't even know what designer it was, but it was a beautiful dress. I've worn it twice. Would you pay for it? I paid like $400. It was maybe it was like two grand retail. Yeah, I don't know what it was, but it was a beautiful dress and I've worn it twice. Maybe it's all stolen. I mean, I don't care. No, no, no. No, I don't think it's stolen. No, I don't think it's. But it just is. But I do think she goes, oh, that's Valentino. That's this. That's that. I didn't even know what it was, but there was a lot of like upper East Side sociality type people there. Did you start going to fake Tina? I've only been twice to be after you got fired from Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yes. And now, by the way, I was not fired from Housewives of New Jersey. And this is this is so recent that I have times are tough times are tough from Big Jane. Yes. Um, I left Housewives of New Jersey, which was in the works since December. Truth. Like, uh, and I want to talk about why talk about that. So you drew some clear boundaries where you said, I'm not going to film with certain people. Yes, that's what it was. And I listened. I that's just what I stand on. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. And I was like, when people have nothing to lose, um, and I have a lot to lose. I don't want to be around those people. And it's fine. It's like, I felt like the party, uh, was going. I left on a vindicated high and I was like, I'm going to leave before the lights go on. That's just me. So, and it was just going in a direction. That's not me. It's supposed to be about a real group of friends and I have friends on the show who I adore. Obviously, Melissa and Dolores, but there's other people who I'm really not friends with and that's not going to be me. I'm not going to hang out with those people and that's it. Are you talking about like Danielle? Are you talking about Rachel? Oh, Danielle and Rachel and I speak all the time. Jackie. Jackie, definitely. And she's not going back. I mean, she was dead in the water as soon as she like, you know, I humiliated her. But, um, so, you know, I'm very close with Jen Fessler. So, you know, you guys could, you know who it is and she's been on the franchise from the beginning and she just, um, she's not my people. I think there were boundaries that were crossed. I wish her no ill. I think she's a good mother. Um, but she's just not my cup of tea. Okay. And I, and I, very diplomatic answer, very diplomat and I don't want to be around her. And I, when I spoke to the network and I did, and I'm going to, now I could say it, I test filmed the new girls back in August that, uh, they called me, production had called me. They said, you are on your test filming the new girls. Um, one of the new girls was trying to get me to make up with Teresa. She said, Teresa is amenable to it. Teresa was texting her, calling her the entire time we were filming. I said, I want no part of it. That's not my life. Um, and that was it. Uh, so you, uh, so how does that work? Do you say to the producers, like I will, if you bring me back, I'm not going to work with her. I basically just said, it's just like, if the show's going in that direction, you know, it wasn't a threat or anything. It was, I was like, if the show's going in that direction, that's just not for me. That's not my life. That's what I said. Are you thinking about not working with me next season? Is that what you want to know what to say to the producers? What I should say. Well, if you recall in the background check, the only liability they found in my entire background check was you. I forgot about that. Yeah. They did this like 13 page background check for Jeff's new TV show. And then under liabilities, it said, um, Jeff Lewis comments here and it would like show in articles, all of these articles, they were a hundred percent. Jeff was a liability. I mean, I, oh my God. So funny. How many years were you on housewife? Um, I was there since 2017. So how many seasons? Seven seasons. Seven seasons. Is it hard for you? Cause it was your identity for so long. Like for me, this same, I was on that, you know, for 11 years and then all of a sudden it's like, wow, now what do we do? Fortunately, we had our businesses. Yes. I have my business. It's funny because in the public, that's my identity in my everyday life. It's a part of my identity. I feel I have a business. I have a big life outside the show. Um, I think also because I was filming another show, when I, when I resigned, um, I was fine with it. I was very much a piece that I knew. This was going to happen since December. And you were just sitting with it. And I was sitting with it. So obviously I am privy to a lot of details. The show that you are on now, I believe is going to be a very big show. I do too. Are you allowed to say where are you allowed to give any information at all? It was out in the public already. It's on, it's going to be on Amazon prime. Yes. It's going to be on Amazon prime. I think the show is going to be great. I think there's a lot of fun depth hijinks. I think it's going to be a great show. I resigned when I was on that show. I, they were going to make the Jersey announcement. It was very, it was very comfortable. I spoke to Andy. I spoke to, uh, Noah, who's my network executive. It was a lovely conversation and I knew they were going to announce Jersey. He's like, this is the story. It's, you know, we discussed it. It's not for you. This is what's happening. I was like, yeah, no problem, but I was on set. It's easy to hear that when you have another job. Yeah. Exactly. And this is the way it's going. And I was like, yes, we discussed this in December. I have no problem. I'm going to resign. I'm also in on location on my new show, feeling fabulous. So I'm at peace that I'm not home in my bathroom crying, you know, and I'd be like, Oh my God, what am I going to do with my life? I'm very lucky that I have, you know, a business and I'm on another show. This could be a nice transition, especially if that show continues. Yes. I, uh, was just made aware of the cast. Lot of big names. Yes. Lot of big names on the cast. All of them weren't, you know, some of it leaked. That's not everybody who was on the show. There was other people. It's, it's very funny. It's great. It was a great, unbelievable production company that I was very blessed to work with. Who was leaked? Well, reality T reported that Kenya, um, Kenya Moore and Kim Zolciak were a part of this production. That's all that reality T reported. Obviously I know more names, but I don't, I don't, I don't want to get anybody in trouble. Yes, yes, I don't want to get in trouble. But big names, big, big names. Yes. I didn't know this. Yeah. And, uh, yeah. And other people aren't housewives. They're from other shows and you know, is it just a very interesting fun. Um, I was away for a little over three weeks. It was just a great show. And it was, it was a lot of fun. But with the housewives thing, listen, I love Bravo. I love the family of Bravo. Um, I want to continue working with Bravo. I feel like it's great, but I just feel like I'm in a different place now. Think about when we first met you with the pigtails. I mean, you know, that really was your identity, but you are a totally different person. Yes, absolutely. Literally like she looks completely different. I mean, that was, first of all, that was, yes. 23 pounds ago, two faces ago. One nose. I mean, you know, Yeah, you just got your nose done. It looks fantastic. Yeah. My nose finally healed. Good little nose. And then there's something else that I really didn't think about what women should be doing rather than these fillers. You did a fat transfer into your cheek. So they took out, I don't know how they found any fat on you, but they took some from your hips. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. It was hard to get it out of my stomach, which made me kind of happy. I've been on the GLP once from Life Barrex. I was like, it was hard to get it out of my stomach. So they had to get it from my hips. So they took a little fat out of your hips and they put it in your cheeks, but they did like the perfect amount. Yes. It looks really, it's really good work and well done. Thank you. I was very lucky. I did it here in LA at Dr. Modikey, which is very funny because the plastic surgeons here are near a parking garage or above a parking. You know, it's not very, it was very funny. But, um, yeah, it's an important thing here though, like valid, you know, validated parking. I see that. I'm like, I'm on board. Yes. And he was a great surgeon. I was very lucky. But it's interesting because here in LA, but maybe New York is the same. I don't know, but like P one through P five is parking and then the office, look at that right now. We are on the eighth floor, but the first five floors of this building is parking. This is a three story building with a, which is a waste because it's completely empty because nobody comes into work here to serious exam, except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Yeah. So it's usually empty. Yeah. The parking was empty while we came here. Yeah. You could take up five spaces. Um, who does that? Um, Zuri Hall does that. I moved my car today. As I got to the elevator, I turned around and took my car. She takes up two spots. I was in two spots and I walked back over and fixed it. It's a little bit entitlement. You know, they just kind of pull in wherever. That's not right. Christina Hawke does that. Yeah. She has a big car. She's maybe not a good driver. Not a good parker. So I will say and that I very much enjoyed working for Amazon. Okay. I did. And I thought they were very good to me and I thought they were very generous and it was, it was a nice experience. Did you, do you? I will say this. They were very generous. It was, they were beautiful people. I felt very lucky. Um, I cried some days because I was so happy. Cryed tears of joy. I felt very, very lucky and blessed. And it was just, it was a great situation. I called Lexi. I was like, this is the bed. I feel very lucky. I don't know. I don't know if I was going through some emotional thing. Um, the, the production crew was unbelievable. It was just a great experience. I think that's why I'm in such a good mood. I came back. I was 10. I was fabulous. I loved everybody I was with. Not, you know, not to make fun of Bravo, but you know, I worked with them for many years and I think the only time I got to keep wardrobe was when they, they would throw water on me, you know, in those like summer promos. And it was like four navy blue shirts. They're like, you can keep the shirts. I mean, thanks. I'll go home with my soaking wet. Maybe blue shirts and like a plastic bag. So then when we did the photo shoot for Amazon, uh, my stylist went and did all of this shopping and I had no idea, but it was like $6,000 with the clothes and like, yeah, you can keep it. I mean, how nice that we could not believe it. Yeah. We had a wardrobe stylist. She was like, Margaret, we got this for you in mind. They were steaming my clothes every morning. I would call like, say, I go, I never had this. I go, what is going on here? I felt like I was like, what is this for real? Every day. What are you wearing? Can we steam your clothes? We bought this for you. But you know what? If you think about it, you know, because of the experience with Bravo, it makes you really appreciate other networks. Listen, Bravo is generous, you know, in certain areas, very good. I know. Where? I mean, after a few years, but I'm just saying it's. You know, great show. Very, but when you work somewhere else, I don't know. I felt very appreciative. You know, I'm like a hard worker. I was getting up early in the morning, you know, some girls were sleeping like, and I was like, what's going on here? You know, I'm just used to being a very hard worker. So this came at the right time for you. Now let's talk about the other women. Yes. Are any of, so we can all agree. Jennifer Fessler is on suicide watch. She's breaking up her resume right now. She's on the pre-court. No, it's my very dear friend. She was calling me on this other show. I'm like, Jen, I'm on location. They're taking my phone from Red Carat Talk. She goes, what's going on? You know, you have it. And I go, you're fine. I go, you're funny. You're quirky. Lean into the kook. I go, you don't need the money. You're married to Jeff Fessler. What do you give a shit? Now they did. From what I heard, they took her away on a 51 50. Exactly. They should have. Yeah. I mean, I, you know, I don't understand that. It's just like, what's the big deal? Yeah. You know, you're on to the next. One door closes, another one opens. Well, it's interesting. Her career trajectory has changed. Like she's become the podcast queen. She's like, it's big in the I heart. Like they're, they love her. I don't know what they see in her, but they, but they really love her. No, they listen. She is very funny. She's self deprecating. She's gotten an amazing amount of surgery. She looks unbelievable. I mean, what the most Margaret compliment I've ever heard. Exactly. She's got a great heart. She really does. I love the Fessler. I'm the one, I'm the one who found her. What does Danielle do now? And then what happens to the clothing line? Boozy. Boozy kids. Danielle is a very hard worker. She, she does belong on TV. She will do something else. Does she? She does. She's not pitching. I've heard. No, she was at real screen. She has ideas for other shows. Um, starring who? Starring. No, she's writing other shows. No, she does. No, she feels like she could come up with ideas for other shows for other people even. Yeah. So she's actually, you know, she's a hustler. She is. She's a very hard worker. What about Rachel Fuda? I love Rachel Fuda. She's like, I told her she could be the best mom talker. She is, she does great mom content. She is all about her family. And I said that to her. I said, Rachel, you're the best mom talker. And that's what you should be doing because this girl is the ultimate mother. She's up every morning at six o'clock. She's got these kids dressed. The hair is done. Everything. I don't know how she does it because at six in the morning, I'm just peeing and going back to bed. I am just, she's amazing. She, so I just feel like everybody has their right lane. Jackie. I don't know what she should be doing. I really don't know what she should be. She's had bad surgery. Everyone has their lane. I don't know what she should be doing. Everybody has their lane. I don't know what her lane is. Her, you know, she'll find it. I mean, you know, her lane is the slow lane on the highway and it should be getting off exit, you know, to off the, you know, down the near the Jersey shore. Now, let me ask you this Amazon show. Is there a possibility of multiple seasons? Um, I think there's a possibility in multiple seasons. Yes. That's what I heard. So would they shake up the whole cast or would they do a partial shake up? Is it like housewives where? It's a, it's a TB day. We'll see. I think, I think people are really going to love it. And I think there is a possibility for multiple seasons. I do think that's what they told me. Um, hopefully the end of this year, first quarter. I see beginning of the year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And then you're still selling soiree. I hope still selling soiree. It's available on tick tock shop that we're learning all about it. Um, and that's where we decided to go because that's the wave of the future. Do you listen to Gary V by any chance? No. Okay. Gary V. That's the way the future live shopping. What is your tick tock live shopping? Lexi. What's the name? We do that here. Soiree mocktails. Like a lot of people live every day. Do you do tick tock Jeff? Um, we have a Jeff tick tock. You do. We do. We got the password now. I'm locked back in. Oh, I think Jeff and I are the same. We don't know. You know, we need shade. I need Lexi. I don't know what's coming or going. Do we still have four flavors of soiree? We do right now. Only two are in stock though. Which ones? The margarita and the cool breeze. Oh, so the other ones who are big sellers. The big one. Yes. And we had a way for the, um, the formula to cut back in. But yes, that'll be in in the next month or two. It's on the production line to go in. No, Doug, Doug and I have brunch every two weeks. Same place, same time. Where? Oh, we don't want people to show up. We don't know where you have brunch. I'm sorry. We don't care. Okay. Where? Salty girl. Salty girl. We want people to show up. Oh, salty. We had that really nice Claudia came in. Because sometimes they pick up the tap. Yes. They said the drinks, they pick up the tab. I don't think anybody's picked up the tab when you and I have been there. No, they add stuff to your tab. They take turns. So now you spent probably a good 20 minutes talking about your cooling mattress. This is why I can only, cause people are like, I have like an hour with Doug and then I got to go. But I do learn a lot. Yes. Um, and now you've got me thinking about this cooling mattress. Well, let me just warn you. Do not Google it. Do not look it up because you will be flooded with ads. I can't get rid of these ads and I can't choose. So I bought my temperpita Gluck Spreeze, which I love, but I'm a hot. No, I really did, but I'm a hot sleeper. And then this year I got a new down comforter and it was all season, but it's too hot. So I'm trying to figure out a way to cool my sleep. There are basically two different ones for that. They're two. Well, I want to get my testosterone checked. Okay. But, uh, there are the, there are two different things. There's water based or air based. So there are like four different brands and I'm right now in the middle of doing the research between the chill pad, the cube, the sleep eight, the perfectly snuggle. I'm definitely not wearing my underwear. Quickly snuggle and bed jet. What difference does it make? Where are you buying underwear? Because each of them has pros and cons and it seems like here in Southern California, the water options are the best, but I can't do water. I won't do it. I can't do it. I won't. Oh, my God. Very avert. Relax. Relax. You're okay. We have previously chatted about this here with Allie Landry and the chili pad. Yes. Chill, chill pad. Or chill pad. But this one is, I lot, you have me thinking about this now. Um, there's one with water, which I don't want because all my bedrooms on the second floor. And if there is, if one. Yes, God forbid. Yeah. I don't want to flood. Bad juju. Absolutely. And I'm afraid of water. I don't think I'll be able to get a restful sleep. Who knows? I mean, I don't think it's like good night. What is it more than a gallon of water? I don't know. You could drown in a tablespoon of water. What? What? Now that, now we're looking at a different one. Now we're looking at a picture of bed jet. Now the problem with the bed jet is aesthetically, it's horrifying. That's ugly. I feel like Doug has a future in life selling though. You're very, very, very emotional. We're hiring Doug for TikTok. But all these essentially do is create a cool mattress pad for you to sleep on. It's like sleeping on an air hockey board. Essentially. It has little vents. I like the expensive one. Now here's the problem. Yeah. I thought about this. The one that's 1600. Yeah. What's nice is that while they are expensive, but most of them are HSA appropriate so you can use your health savings account to pay for them. What does that mean? Well, a lot of people. Do I have that? What's a health savings account? If you have health insurance, a lot of people will also have a health savings account, which is a bank account you can deduct from your salary. Everyone's nodding. I have no idea what you're talking about. Can I get some water? We don't have that. Do I qualify for that? No. You may be able to have an individual. From your paycheck, they can take out a hundred pre-tax dollars, which goes towards health, but there's only certain things you can use it on Tylenol, Band-Aids, Fiat and Al. It's too complicated for you. I don't even know what this is. You're deductible. It's great. It's a credit card and you can use it for medical expenses. It is good, but it's just time consuming. Here's the problem. The one that I'm really thinking about now is called perfectly snug. The thing is, it doesn't have a cooler. It says it's blowing cool air, but it's just taking the ambient air. If my room is 75 degrees, it's going to be blowing 75-degree air on me. Oh, I don't want that. That's not going to keep me cool. I don't want that. I want cool air. There's the rub. But I don't want that big, ugly, what is that thing called? That's the bed jet. I don't want the bed jet. That is obnoxious. That's hideous. That's unfortunate looking. Is this an accessory to the mattress that you love or is this a new mattress? No, this is a topper. This just goes right on top. Oh, are you a topper? Are you sweating a lot? Are you sweating a lot? Well, lately it's been very cool, but in the summer I will sweat. Yeah, I'll get hot. And I don't want to have to, I can't afford to keep my house at 70 degrees. So I keep my air. Where do you keep it? Right now. In the summertime, it's like 75. Oh, God, that's hot. If I feel rich, I go to 70 degrees. I'm not storing my fur at your house. Definitely not. It'll shed. But that's why this could help me if I get cool. Do window units. Why don't you get a fan? I have central. Oh, thank God. Just get yourself a circulated fan. I have a central unit, so that's good news. Yeah, but I only live in, you know, my one bedroom. All right, will you let me know when you find the one you like? Because I'm going to get one for the guest room. I'm going to try it there. If I like it, then I'm going to get one for the primary. I will tell you this, Jeff Lewis. That's not good for Monroe. I'm going to get it today. You don't think to cool her down? No, she's a child. She's going to wake up like a popsicle. Monroe, Monroe. She's like re-enacting the last scene of Titanic. No, but it also warms and it has safety measures. She's not met a puzzle. She's ten. It's going to happen to her. This is her dad. Here's the thing. The bed jet, the perfectly snug has a 30 day money back, you know, warranty. I can return it. I'm going to let you do all the research. I'm going to let you try it out. Yeah. Demo it and then you tell me what to buy and I'm getting one for my guest room. Yes. And then we'll sell it on the tick tock shop. Tick tock shop. Why can't we just get a mattress pad for the top that you could take on and off? I have a mattress pad. That's cooling. That's cooling mattress pad. The thing is because you have sheets and then you have more sheets than you. It's just put that air conditioner down to 70. You're probably good. I think this will be, I'm going to check this out. So you just lying on the top of your sheets, sweating, naked, and you're going to get a lot of vitamin D. You might have low vitamin D. You know, when men have low vitamin D, they sweat. Doug needs D. I'm not. I'm not waking up sweaty, but I'm not cool. I like to be cool or cool. You need vitamin D. I swear. They may, they took me off vitamin D. I'd buy a cooling topper. I would buy a cooling topper if you find the right one. Are you right? I don't want water. Yeah. I'm afraid it's going to puncture leak, whatever. Exactly. And then you're going to have to get a lot of vitamin D. I don't want water. Yeah. I'm afraid it's going to puncture leak, whatever. Exactly. And then, that would be a disaster. 100%.

That's line two. Hi, Laura. Hi. Thanks for taking my call. I just was wondering when we're able to get a flora drink. Lexi, you and I have been in contact probably over the last year or so, and you sent me some through and I appreciated that. But when I try to order it, it just keeps canceling the order. And also there's only two of the flavors versus the four. So can you give us an update on what's going on with that? Laura, it's Lexi B with the update. Here I am. Laura, give her a doll, by the way. We're so grateful for you. And I'm going to send your present too, because I am so. Thanks for your call. Sounds like a doll. No, Laura is a grateful, good customer. Is she? Yes. So why does it keep canceling? That's what we're going to get to the bottom of it. Is it on the website or TikTok shops that it keeps canceling? I can't get anything on the website at all. It all says it's sold out. So send her to the TikTok shop. Yes. I'm going to text you the link to the TikTok shop, because that should fulfill really easily. And the other two flavors are going to be back in within probably six weeks. Do you want to put Laura on hold and we'll get her number? Laura, we can see your number. And Lexi is going to text you directly. She texted you just now. Thanks, Laura. You know what? I did go through TikTok shopping and it canceled it. It said it was ordered. And then I got an email about it would be delivered between the first and the fourth of August. August. And on the fourth of April it was canceled. No. Laura, can I make a recommendation? Look for another brand. No, cut it out, Jeff. Thanks for calling, Laura. Have a great day. Laura, I'm texting you right now. Try it, I hope, Laura. The Bevy machine is great. I got to say I love Bevy. I'm going to pop your water mattress. You're going to drown in that bed before I'm talking to you. Hi, Christine. Shout out, Christine. I'm just calling, Marge, the same thing happened to me on the TikTok shop. So you can look into that. Brandon, my TikTok guy is here. Brandon, what's going on? What the hell, Brandon? By the way, we're new on TikTok, so Christine, I don't know what's going on. Evidently, we... We got to pick up the kinks. Sounds like the sales probably aren't so good. No, we're going to take one caller at a time, one sale at a time today. Christine, I am so sorry we're having issues, but I could tell me... What was the next question? It was close to you in New Jersey, so I mean, if they make it around here, I can pick it up. I don't know. Christine, I'll drop it off at your house because our warehouse is in New Jersey. Can't you go... There's a store that sells it in New Jersey, right? Yeah. The point is, my warehouse is in New Jersey. Christine's going to get a discount. Also, Lexi could see your phone number, and we could have it shipped directly to you. I don't know what's going on with TikTok. Can we take Christine's phone number? But go ahead. She wants a Margarita. But she's calling me about the lipo suction. Who is? Well, they call it fat transfer. Yes. I had to have my breasts redone because I had to have a mastectomy, and they did the fat transfer, and first of all, my plastic surgeon was so hot. He was a rich boy. Oh, I love that. A rich boy. Sidebar. Yeah, exactly. But you know what? They told me, they didn't tell me like fat transfer is lipo suction. They took it out of my thighs. Forget about the breast pain. I couldn't walk for two weeks. How did you get lipo suction? All these famous people, and that's where we started in Orange County. I know. Crazy. I got mine. Fat transfer to your face. They only take out a tiny bit, so it wasn't so fat. The breasts, probably a lot of fat. The breasts, I know, they had to take out a lot. So that was hard for you. But I'm sure you look absolutely stunning. How big are you? Easy. Maybe? Yeah. I'm 5'100 pounds. No, your breast size. I'm having a boobs. My boobs. How big do you go? You know what? Everybody thinks you can pick like what size you want, but really the cancer dictates it. I went in, went in with the hope that it would be a 32B. I came out a 32D. Oh, you are. You can't walk. Wow, that's a lot of fat. Christine, you're a hot piece of ass. You're a hot piece of ass, Christine. They only use 32D. They also use dead people, you know, tissue. Cadaver. Cadaver tissue. Can I don't? Yeah, you also have to be stressed. That's what they use to swore. She needs a margarita now. I mean, I don't know what's going on. Christine, you know what? You are a gorgeous hottie. Thanks, Christine. Thank you. We're going to handle this. We'll handle this. I cannot believe all these phone calls with our t- That's why we're at this TikTok affiliate show so we can learn what the hell we're doing. Okay. Okay. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. What are you doing? Speaking of what are you doing? What are you doing with that toaster oven I got you for your birthday? It's in the box. It's sitting at the bottom of the stairs. I got to figure it out. The box is so big. I'm going to swap it out. I will say it. I will say it. I will also say it on the seventh floor. They have that. You can see it in person. It is huge. It's too big. It's massive. The one that you bought? No, I'm going to swap it out. I also want to make, I've received a lot of messages. Thank you for all your messages. I realize I don't use an oven. So a toaster oven is, I know what I know. It's going to change my life. Everything's going to be amazing with toaster oven. I'm the crazy one. I've received so many messages about it. Thank you. I think I just need a toaster. I'm going to swap it out. There are a couple of options on their way to Jameson now. Thank you. If you go down to seven, there's a Hamilton two and one. Oh. And it's very wide. Okay. It's very wide. I think you have to have a very large kitchen, which my guess is you don't. It's on your salary. I'm going to swap it out this weekend or something. Right. Shane forwarded me the receipt. Thank you. Is that Best Buy? Yeah, it's right across. It's around the corner. Couldn't you use like his health benefit card you guys were talking about? I don't know if a toaster oven is HSA approved. No, I think we'll be good. You got to eat. Now, Doug, is it true that you had an audition to play a school principal? Yeah, yesterday. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. How did it go? I think it went well. My agent said my tape was great. It works next week. So it was that quick. This was this audition came in Monday evening was due yesterday afternoon and starts working next week. TV is much faster than film. Two broke girls. I went in, I read for producers and went right to wardrobe. Like it was started work that day. That's. I think because somebody can probably canceled, right? And they're like, who else do we have? Who's available? Who's sitting home doing nothing? They're like, what about Doug Buten? So then they called you. That happens also. That happened to me on ER. I didn't get the job. Here's an issue though. You got to think about this. If you needed your fur coat, you wouldn't be able to get it. You need a three day notice. A lot of principles where fur coats, it's true, but the joy is that you have wardrobe. So I, they would give you one if I book it, but I didn't book it. Now, did you explain to them that you can't film on location? What do you mean? You can't come within 2000 feet of a school or a park. You're a high risk offender. And I actually, you know, I, that's the kind of roles I read for an hour. All principles. That's, I was going to say predators. That was hilarious. That was, I apparently, I, my face gives, you know, principle vibes. So I hope I book it. Um, Shut up. Now, is it true that every Tuesday is tomato Tuesday? That's right. Now that we're in a growing season, tomato Tuesday, every Tuesday, I, um, highlight a different tomato plant from my garden. Oh my God. What, what variety of tomatoes do we have? Well, we have 12. Get those nerds. Yesterday. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sir, may I have another? Yesterday was, uh, I featured the Sartreau was, which is the 2026 tomato of the year. If that doesn't make someone want to follow you on Instagram, I don't know what will. Wow. You know, I don't, I guess I should put more thought into like trying to get more. I just post things that make me interested. Is there a large tomato community? Very, very large. Now I had nothing to do with this, but you were here early. You were in the conference room. You have your yellow notepad. You, I think you, you ducked out to either get some coffee or to go to the restroom. You came back and what was on your notepad? I am a victim of a hate crime. Okay. Okay. I came back to my pad. My trusty notepad and on two separate areas, the word gay with exclamation point has been written. I was in the parking structure. I have seven witnesses. I had, I have an alibi. It was not me who, yes, it was not me who wrote gay on your notepad twice with exclamation points. It looks like Jameson's handwriting. Gay on gay crime. Oh my God. I would never do that. I would never do that. My sister Doug. I was in HR. Honestly, you should mention it to HR. Someone at the series XM wrote gay on your notepad twice. But also it's a fact, right? Like you identify as gay. Is this to me, is this about the paper? I don't know what this is. I just see the word gay and I don't like it. Maybe it's a compliment. Doug, maybe you need to look inside of yourself. What are you bringing with you that's bad about gay? Gay is good. Did you write gay on his notepad in two locations? Are there cameras in that room? No, I didn't write it. You didn't know you struck her. That's what I said to them when they accused me of defacing the elevator. Yeah, but I have full cameras. Let's check the footage. I have the photos of you defa... No, you do not. I did not do it. I did not do it. Yeah. AI. There's no proof of that. ChatGBT made that photo. It's a deep fake. But I was on P4 when the alleged incident occurred. I don't think it was you because I walked in right as you were going. No, it wasn't. I'm just telling you it wasn't me. I was with you the whole time. I was with Mark. I was with Lexi. We were walking in and we were sort of... Brandon, I was with Olivia. So it was Jameson. And there's beautiful photos. It sounds like it was a couple of men. Yeah, maybe it was Oscar. Gay is good. It was probably Shelley and HR. Who have you slided recently? Maybe it was the girls at the front. Who knows? No, we get, oh, I'm tight with them. Yeah. No, I'm good. That's fine. Well, now we know. Someone knows Doug is gay. What's happening with the LA Philharmonic? I know you're... Did they get back to you? No, actually I spoke with them yesterday. We'll try out for that also? No, no, no. Just trying to get better seats. So I won't know if I get the new seats until next month once all the subscribers have renewed. Did they get back to you? Because you had asked for particular seats. Yeah, I won't know if I get them until everybody else sends in their renewals. But did they respond to your email? No. So they didn't say thank you for your email. We'll let you know. No, I sent it via USPS. I had to send an actual letter. What? Who sends snail mail? Yeah. Because of my request, you can't do it online. You have to fill out a form. And I use one of my Betty White stamps and I put it in the mail. Maybe we should have sent a FedEx. Gay. Really gay. I was just gonna say... Betty White stamps? Yeah, I love the Betty White stamp. That might be helpful. Yeah. A gay stamp to go to the Philharmonic. You know you kind of go hand in hand. Okay, you're right. You can go and go to the post office or you can go to usps.com. And there are tons of options to buy stamps. I love these Betty White stamps. So you're gonna renew your membership? Yes. It's just a matter of you're waiting for your seats. Yeah, so currently... Will that affect your renewal? No. If you do not like your seats? No, no, no, because that's why I was so clear in that letter. I love D61 and 59. I love those seats. But I would like CB or A more. So if CB or A become available, I'm gonna take them. Otherwise, I'm gonna keep D61 and 59. There's a lot of seats there, right? 2170. And you've just narrowed it to about six. Isn't that wonderful? There's only three. Because I told you I love my seats, but I'm in the fourth row. The only ones better would be the exact same seats, in three rows, two rows, or first row. That's the only ones that I would wanna take. Why is it wrong with the fourth row? There's nothing wrong with it. I love them. But I would like the first row more. If you're too close, wanna hurt your neck. Yeah, you gotta look up. No, you're shamed. Jessica, New York, line four. What is it? Oh. That was your fault. Hi, Jessica. Absolutely not. Hi, shout out, Shane. Shout out, pending Jessica. I can't believe that we're not discussing that all Jameson wanted for his birthday was a two-slice toaster. He got talked into getting this monstrosity toaster, oven, whatever, and now it gets delivered to his house and he has to return it. Yeah, Jessica. I know. How has this become his responsibility? I don't know. It was his gift. He wanted the big, the double. He asked for the double. That's what we ordered for him. It's a generous thing to do. He was bullied. He really was pressured into accepting it. Who wouldn't want the Hamilton two-in-one? Well, it turns out Jameson doesn't. He just doesn't have the space for it. I'm gonna thank you, Jessica, for your support. It's no problem. Best Buy is not too far from me. And I know it's literally directly across the street. Does Jameson get to keep his credit to use at Best Buy? Oh, yeah, that's fine. But Jessica, you understand what happened, right? We had ordered it live on the air. I attempted cancellation, but it had already shipped. My computer went down. Yeah, I know. But he clearly didn't want it to begin with. He was pressured into it. He wanted the two-slice toaster. I was trying to think big. And now he has to love this. I know. But here's the good news, Jessica. You know, the two-in-one, the Hamilton two-in-one, is more expensive than the toaster he wanted. So he gets to keep the credit. He can buy something else. So that hopefully will offset the fact that you have to go back to Best Buy. Yes, for my shipping and handling. So is that okay, Jessica? He's gonna keep the larger credit. He gets the credit, it's much better. Also, wanna promote drinksware.com. It is not in stock, it sounds like. And you won't be able to actually check out. Your order will get canceled. Your order gets canceled. We're gonna fix it right now, cause I've branded here and he's gonna help us fix it on TikTok Shop. I don't know what happened. So only half the flavors are in stock, but the other flavors will come in in August of 27th? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. No, no, no, they'll be in the next week. So where do we buy this thing? Can you still go to drinksware.com? Yes, and then you check out and it checks you out on TikTok Shop. Cause it ships very quickly then. What is actually available two-day to ship? Okay, you can buy the Margarita, passion fruit guava and rose, and the cool breeze cucumber, elderflower, leechee, and mint. So what's not in the Cocoa Colada? And the Tejito. And the Tejito. Okay, and that'll be in in six weeks. Six weeks. Okay, can you buy it now to ship in six weeks? Yes, you can. Yeah, I could set up a pre-order. Yeah, so we could get them a little discount. We could set up a pre-order. But wait for us to leave here. Don't order it right this second if you want the Cocoa Colada, the Tejito, cause we have to set up the pre-order. We did get 10 orders last night, so I don't know why it canceled, but I am going to investigate. I hope those aren't gonna cancel. You have a lot of work to do. Thanks for listening.
