45 min
•Feb 6, 20264 months agoSummary
Jeff Lewis hosts Jennifer Fessler and Jackie Schimmel to discuss life-threatening food allergies, Type 1 diabetes management, and Jackie's upcoming landscape renovation project. The episode covers practical health considerations for dating someone with chronic illness, while also touching on local LA businesses and personal lifestyle topics.
Insights
- Type 1 diabetes requires significant daily management (insulin pumps, glucose monitoring, glucagon emergency kits) but is manageable with modern technology and shouldn't be a relationship dealbreaker
- Food allergies and chronic illnesses create practical dating considerations that go beyond the condition itself—partners need education on emergency protocols and lifestyle accommodations
- Service quality issues at local businesses (Sight Glass coffee shop) create customer loyalty problems when key staff become unavailable, leading to outsourcing and quality degradation
- Wealth and discretionary spending priorities reveal relationship values—landscape renovations and business investments are justified differently than spending on digital content creators
- Celebrity and influencer culture creates parasocial relationships that can lead to significant financial commitments without traditional relationship boundaries
Trends
Normalization of chronic illness management in dating and relationship contexts among younger demographicsEarly childhood allergen exposure protocols (powder supplements at 6 months) as preventative health strategy gaining adoptionLocal service business vulnerability to single-point-of-failure staffing issues in competitive marketsOutsourcing of specialty food production (croissants, bagels) by premium local establishments to maintain operationsDigital creator economy (OnlyFans) creating financial strain in relationships comparable to traditional infidelityLuxury home renovation as wealth signaling and investment strategy among affluent demographicsPodcast sponsorship integration across travel, insurance, and consumer electronics sectors targeting affluent audiences

At all and after protected, keys and C's apply selected hotels only. 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... Really? Really? Really? Jeff Lewis has issues. Hey, it's Jeff Lewis and I have issues. In today's episode, Jennifer Fessler and Jackie Schimmel joined the show. We talk about life-threatening food allergies and wasting money, plus Jackie's excited to break ground on her landscape renovations. We are anxiously awaiting Jennifer Fessler's arrival. I think she said she had trouble getting an Uber. She's really stressed. She was staying in Brentwood, which is not close. And then I don't think she really understood how long it would take. Sure. She doesn't get the geography of Los Angeles. No, it's, you know, I get it. You know, not everybody understands that. So, she'll be here any second. Can't wait. I'm very curious to see what picture we posted of Jennifer Fessler. We haven't posted yet, because I want to get one of her coming in to go in it. Oh, I... Yeah. Oh, we're doing a carousel today. Ooh! Every day, we do a carousel. I don't know if you listened yesterday, Jackie, but... And I have to say, I've thought about it like 10 times since... Mm-hmm. When Oscar brought up his dog and the dog fell off the sofa and the dog hurt its back, right? Yeah, she had a spinal injury. So, she's home now. I went to go pick her up. But it's been incredibly stressful and anxious. I get really bad anxiety. I had to call my brother this morning who is across the U.S. to keep me company on my drive, because I was freaking out. It's tough for me right now. It's so weird, because I think it's because of our love of animals. I was actually very worried and concerned about his dog. But then I thought to myself, if Oscar fell off the sofa and got a spinal injury, I wouldn't give a fuck. Right. Why do I care so much about a dog that I've never met? I'm the same exact way. I don't know. There's something wrong with us, probably. But you agree, like, we wouldn't care if Oscar hurt himself. I'm pissed about the woman at sight glass, spraining her ankle, and not being able to make croissants. They look for excuses not to come to work. You know that. It's pathetic. Can she wear, like, some sort of foot brace of some kind, Annie? What's going on? I don't know. Every time something good happens at sight glass, like, oh, we changed it. Oh, we outsourced. The overnight oats that they dump? Yeah, there's espresso overnight oats, the cinnamon rolls, the croissants, the fucking bagels. Oh, don't even get me started on those fucking bagels. They're outsourcing those, too, right? Yeah, they're disgusting. Who chipped their tooth? Becky Robinson. Chipped her tooth on one of those bagels. No. And then she tried to sue me. And then she tried to sue me. Oh, my God. I just need clarity on why the croissant maker, why does her feet impact her ability to make croissants? Get a stool that rolls and get to work, bitch. Like those guys that film us on those, they have these little... Yeah, they have those little, like, seats with wheels and they can just bop around. She can just bop around. So they just shut down all the croissants because one girl sprained her ankle? Yeah. Grow up. And the new croissants are horrible. Now they're selling Costco croissants for, like, ten times the price. Yeah. How was the croissant today? It wasn't as good as it was. You know, this could be a negotiating tactic for her. She could be like, oh, I hurt myself. And suddenly it takes down the whole business and they see the value of her. She might be using this to negotiate more money. She's a bitch. I agree. She's selfish. She's smart. But now they're outsourcing their croissants. So she's going to... I don't know this negotiation that she's doing. She's going to end up without a job. Well, people have complaints. So if she was there and they were paying her what she's worth. No, we're just going to stop going there. We're going to go somewhere else. It's a flawed plan because the ankle will heal. Then what? They're very short staffed over there. Should we try a tarteen again? I go to tarteen every day. Because I do coffees from tarteen and teas and pastries from Psyglass. So should I start doing pastries from tarteen? Yeah, tarteen is really good. Let's investigate. They do. Pastries. Why don't we just get the bills on? They don't poach eggs. I don't care. Okay. You're done with eggs? I mean, I'm not done with eggs, but... You can still go to Psyglass and get your eggs and then do... It just seems so... I don't know. It seems like a lot. I don't care. It's my job. Going to tarteen would be a return to the beginning. That's where you started. Couldn't tarteen poach an egg? No, I've asked. Wow. Don't they have scrambled eggs? They have boundaries. I think they have fried eggs. I'll ask. And didn't those scrambled eggs give you the shits? Yes, I remember this. They did. But didn't they scramble the pancake batter by accident? Wasn't that what it was? That's Doug's theory. Oh. They put pancake batter in scramble eggs. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. That makes absolutely no sense. I'm sorry. I feel like this is... It's reached a level now where you and I have to do a sight glass visit and a tarteen visit. A sight visit. A sight... A sight glass visit. We need to hear one letter. Hmm. Doug, when's Doug here again? Next Friday. Next Friday? With Brittany. He's not here this week? Was he here this week? No. Shit. You know what I just looked down here and I saw for tomorrow? I had no idea Beverly DeAngelo is on tomorrow. There she is. Yeah, and then you're going in surf after. I'm so excited. That was the whole thing. Oh my God. Jennifer Fessel, you look really cute though. Yeah, we can start the show. She looks... She looks gorgeous. Okay, let's describe what she's wearing. She's wearing the amulet that... And traitors that you have to touch to murder her in plain sight. She's wearing a gorgeous black velvet blazer. Fendi heels. She's so sorry. Like a cute white pant with a belt and a white t-shirt. She's kneeled over. And a statement necklace. Yes. But not an account just the way I'm wearing it. I don't like being late, especially not for you. I am so sorry. Don't worry about it. I couldn't get an Uber. We're good. We've been talking about nothing for 10 minutes. Truly. Literally. Like truly nothing. We're talking about croissants. Yeah, so... Do you like them? Welcome. I can't breathe. Hold on. Do you have pets? That's how we're starting. I have two disgusting black cats that I hate. Then I just got because during COVID, I was like, I'm going to get a black cat. I'm going to get a black cat. I'm going to get a black cat. I'm going to get a black cat. I'm going to get a black cat.哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎 You are barking down the wrong, what's the expression? Tree. You are barking up the wrong tree. There is nothing wrong with type one diabetes. I didn't know. I don't know anything about it. Disgusting. Well, don't know anything about it. You shouldn't say anything about it. It's a chronic illness that you'll have the rest of her life. Well, why are you saying that in front of Kean? Oh, my God. We're trying to set him up. So, news, okay, so we have to, we have big news here. Rachel broke up with Harrison and you never liked Harrison. That is a lie. That is a lie. That is not a lie. He's lying. That is not a lie. I always liked Harrison, not for Rachel. Okay, that's all. Kean, are you gonna be okay with her having a chronic illness? Kean doesn't wanna take care of somebody with diabetes. That is a lot of big deal. That is a big deal. Oh, there's just rip your ass. You are so dead, man. You are dead. Thank you. First of all, it's not type two. Do you know the difference? No. Type two and type one? I don't either. It's not like she's overweight. It's not a lifestyle thing. She was born with it. It's genetic. After the rest of her life. So Kean, it's not type two. Don't worry. Your kids will get it. Yeah, potentially. Oh, shit. Yeah, I can't with you. You can't procreate with her. I was, if you are so dead, then I don't even have to worry about this because you are going down. Like, Jed Lewis, if you never went down before, you may as well make fun of people with cancer. I'm gonna have to raise money for diabetes. Oh, you're gonna have to organize a march ASAP. I can lead it. I had gestational diabetes, not to make this about me, but I did. But you just did, yes. Does that mean it came and went? Is that type one? What does that mean? It's gestational and it comes and it goes when you're pregnant. Yes. So just when you're pregnant? Yes. So you have to do the insulin and everything? No, I just wasn't allowed. So it's not really diabetes. No, this is my story. Situational. Yeah. Yeah. You're gonna get slammed or callers calling in yet. I'm waiting for the diabetes hate. Oh, get ready. Those lights are... I know nothing about it. But it sounds like something that Kean doesn't want to take on. Right. It's like for instance, if like she had cancer, God forbid. Yeah, you want somebody healthy. You wouldn't want that, Kean. Right, right. I don't even have to worry about it because I know that you're dead. Bye, everyone. It was a really funny show. So Rachel and Harrison broke up how long ago? Because I don't want Kean to be the rebound. About a week and a half ago. Well, we've been trying. Okay, so enough time is past. Yeah. Enough time is past. We're good. Exactly. But listen, she has been looking at pictures of Kean for a long time. And so has her mother. And so has her mother. That is true. I cannot lie. You love some Kean. Yeah, I do. Who doesn't? You guys don't love Kean. Who doesn't love Kean? We don't love him as much as you do. We like him. We like him a lot. We like him okay. I love Kean. He's the best. Okay. I mean, should I be offended that Kean didn't come get me from the parking structure tonight? Yes. What the fuck? He gets a milk. I was sticking up for you last night. Can I tell you something? He's not old enough. Oh. That's the thing. When you, I think in five more years, he'll come down and get you. He loves like a older milf. Okay. Like Jen Fessler. And an older milf loves him. It's mutual. Yes. Last night, I knew you two were gonna hit it off. We had drinks. Where do we go? Soft Hotel? At the Soft Hotel Hotel. I knew you two would hit it off beautifully. And you did. Mm-hmm, we did. I was a little worried. Not about hitting up. I was intimidated a little bit. Because, well, I talked to Doug and to Annie and apparently, you know, you're everyone's favorite person. Ugh. And all the fans die from you. And I'm like. News to me. No, it's true. You know that. But so I was a little, I don't know. I always get a little nervous. Maybe because I've been burned by like Tom Arnold. Oh. And like. Who else? You know, I'm not burned by him? No, I loved him actually. But I'm just saying, it was a lot. I loved him too. I'm just saying, I don't ever know like who you're going to partner me up with. It's like. Tom Berger, husband. Yes, he certainly did. Oh, he did. Yeah. But I don't worry about that. But I think that, because I know you guys are on a bump right now, clearly. The post you did for his birthday, that's a great picture of him. You do? Thank you. Yeah, I think he looks really good. Well, there was more than one. It was a scroll. I just saw one. Yeah. But I like that Jeff Vestler. I'm a fan. He's always said that. He's a good guy. Yeah. That's a good endorsement, by the way. I know. Well, I think also, because he's so different than a lot of the Housewives significant others. Especially Jersey, those husbands are a lot. You said it, I didn't. But I'll say it again. Yeah, you do it. But he's just sort of quiet, not interested in the spotlight. Refreshing, refreshing, refreshing. Very smart. Refreshing. I think your son is into the spotlight. You think? Yeah. Yeah, he's a monster. It's insane. He's the cutest thing ever. You missed because you were so late. We actually FaceTime Clyde today. You did. He's so cute with his blonde curly hair. Ugh. He's delicious. I can't take him. Can you do it again? Yes. No, you missed it. Oh, no, he's at school. We also learned about cosplay, which I didn't know what that was. Either did Jackie. No, never heard of it. Thank you for explaining all that to me. Sure, it was kind of like a group effort. Cosplay is costume play. Oh. So people dress up in costumes and have sex. I didn't know either. People that go to Comic-Con and whatnot, if they like video games or something, they like Zelda, old reference. They'll dress up as Zelda, that kind of thing. The way that you got a twinkle in your eye when you started explaining this makes me so uncomfortable. You think he's into cosplay. You said something about like war vet. Yeah, what else? It's not larping. That's different. That's live action role play. Those are people that like dress up in Civil War costumes, uniforms, and then they reenact a war. So that's larping. I don't know, but it is interesting. With his improv background, he for sure is into that shit. Look at him, he's glowing. He's got a twinkle in the eye. Of course he does. It's interesting to me. It's not something I participate in, but I do find it fascinating. Shut up, Jackie. Lies. Just get your stupid kid back on Facebook. Is that a lady boy? What? Why do we have lady boys up on the screen? Why don't you put them on screen? What's she cosplaying as? It's what? He's keen saying it's horny. He thinks it's sex-based. That's giving cultural appropriation. And I will not stand for that. Thank you. You're welcome. We're looking at a photo of a very busty woman. An Asian woman. OK, I feel like Gnaw is called cosplay as a sexual. Who's pulling up these photos? What's going on over there? Oscar. Those are in the favorites folder. Can't fold it too. Wait, why did cosplay come up? What are you talking about? That's such a good question. Oh, because at the coffee shop, the barista, adding to the list of things, she got in a motorcycle accident and then her only other thing she likes to do is cosplay. So she can't cosplay and she can't make express. Oh, is she paralyzed? No, she won't make a full recovery, but she's so sad. What's going on over there? I'm telling you. I have a whole community. It's a whole thing. But I mean, there are very accident prone over there. Yeah. At Cyclas. It's a mess. So somebody was in a motorcycle accident and another girl slipped? Yeah, she went to Mexico and she had to drive all the way from wherever she was in Mexico to San Diego to get fixed. Why can't she cosplay? That's a problem. Because she's paralyzed in bed. But like, I mean... That's her hobby? She could put ears on. She could say the crown. I'm sure she does. Like a little tail. I was thinking the same thing. Right? Yeah. A cape? Jameson? Maybe she can't feel anything. Is she paralyzed like below the waist? I think right now she's like regaining ability. I don't know. I don't know. Well then, she definitely don't set her up with Keen. So you're not interested anymore now that you found out that Rachel has diabetes? We're going to be in New York in March and I would love to arrange some sort of a meet and greet. But we have to do it casually. Very casually. So rustics, no pressure. Right. I think they probably at this point both know what we're trying to do. Yeah. But okay. Now, I do want to say before you commit to having Keen as a son-in-law. Right. He did talk shit about your F majors. Your shoe line. Who cares? OK. So has Jen. Exactly. He said, because you were kind enough, I think you donated a few pairs to convicts that have. X convicts. Sorry. X convicts that are now. They're wearing F majors in the slammer. They're re-entering into the world and they're looking for jobs. And she had, which I thought was very generous. That is very nice. But Keen said, I bet they never, I bet they didn't get the job. Because of those shoes. The problem was the shoes. He's not very supportive. Right. That's OK, Keen. Now, you had another great idea that you were going to give some of the shoes to homeless women, because that's what they need, heels. Well, right. I was going to give. The idea came up last night. We were all having. You have to be standing on the corner in a comfortable heel. Right. Well, arch support. Listen, I got to get rid of them somehow. You never could have used it. The girl at Cyclas. I bet she wouldn't have sprained her ankle. Not an NF major. She'd be making those croissants with ease and breeze. I'm going to bring them over. They are comfortable shoes. They are. I'm going to bring them over to Keen's house, because apparently he has that whole setup. What is it? The what? RV. Although we call his homeless people in front of his house living in an RV. So he says they're not homeless, but he still calls the cops on them. You know about this? I didn't know Keen was calling the cops on homeless people. Oh, and these poor people, yes. Keen's a Karen. OK. He is a Karen. Keen Karen. I love ever him. I've seen that because there are certain streets where you're allowed to legally park overnight. I call the cops. I mean, yeah, they're illegally parked like 10 of them, 20 of them are. Are they making noise? Doesn't matter. There's like delinquent activity for sure occurring. Oh, God. Oh, that's. Oh, delinquent activity. Send me the address. So how many RVs are in front of your house? Um, on. Well, there's a really long street. And so there's I mean, there's too many to count. So the cops come in like once every few months and they like tell everyone they give them tickets and they tell them to leave and they leave and then they come back to a huge issue. So Keen's very empathetic. I was going to say, yeah. To the homeless. More and more, I wanted to join the family. Right. To the homeless play. That's good. That's his contribution. He calls the cops. He's like, move it, Susan Powder. She wants to live in an RV. Yeah, she's on Today Show today. I saw that. I know. Oh, wow. She's making a comeback. Yes. I'm obsessed with her. Me too. When is she coming back? I was just on Saturday some dates this morning. You did? Yeah. Hey, Andrew got stranded in Nashville over the storms. Almost. Oh, almost. Almost. He made it back. He was on the only flight that left Nashville on Saturday. Whoa. Every other flight. Interesting how he waited till Saturday. He wanted to get stranded there. No, I wanted him to get stranded there. You did. Oh yeah. By the way, he had no idea about the storm. I was like, I think there's like a storm going on this weekend. And he's like, nah, it's just probably a little bit of snow. It's not a big deal. And I was like, this bitch doesn't have the internet. He has no idea what's coming. Because he's not on social media or anything. And I have all my friends in Nashville who are like generators. Like they're like prepping for this catastrophe. And Andrew's like, do you think I'm going to need a coat or a sweater? And I'm like, fuck up, Buttercup. And then once I started shit, started seeing shit really hitting the fan, I was like, is this dude going to get like stranded there? Like in it. What is he going to do? Where is he going to go? And unfortunately, he made it back. So he was there for work for how long? He was there for three days. No, this morning when we were facing, he was a little overwhelmed. Andrew. She is panicked because of drop off. She is just she really unravels. She's a little neurotic and just I don't know. He wants to get there on time and the lunch and the this. He's very, very type A. Like me, I like to get there on time. Yeah. Since when? Sure. I really try. So this overwhelms him. Slightly. I will say like it took me a minute to navigate the carpool situation and the school drop off. Yeah. But that's different than preschool. Preschool is easy. Like whatever. Like this is a big school. A lot of kids, a lot of cars. I'm like throws. He's like, what snacks can he have? And he's really good. He's really good. But he's just overly. He's stressed out. He's over thinking about everything. This is not exclusive to parenting. He's just he's very in his head about everything. Like God forbid he doesn't pack three sweatshirts or is do you think he's in a new jacket? Does he need different shoes? What if they play outside? Is it muddy because it ran like just take a deep breath. You're going to be fine. Everything's going to be OK. Now Clyde eats anything and everything. Yes. OK. So with Monroe and it changes weekly. So you know, you get you we stock up on all the snacks for school. And then she's like, I don't want those. I want this. And she's constantly like new demands. Don't you think? Yeah. It's really weird. It's like week by week. Moving the goalposts. Was Rachel picky with the diabetes and everything? No, Rachel couldn't be picky, Jeff, because she just couldn't eat certain things. Oh, OK. Yes. But having said that, even like with the diabetes, she was just mean. Like as a kid at that age. But not now, right? No, now she's a doll. But what are you winking at me? She tells diabetes. It's not going to happen. Is he going to have to be careful about what restaurants he chooses? No, it's nothing like that. It's not that it's an inconvenience. It's not really a deal breaker. Yeah. Is it key? I think it is. I don't think so. She is a picky eater too, though. So it's not it's not even about that. That's all type two. Type one is she has a pump attached to her body. She has to give herself insulin several times a day. She's a pump attached to her body. What do you when I say pump? What are you picturing? It's like a little major. That's good. That's quick. It's a little device and she will two little devices. One tells you what her sugar level is. And the other one actually administers the insulin. So make sure not to take that off when you're cosplaying. Yeah, who said Dexcom? Well done, my auntie. Thank you. Well done. That is well, that's a sensor. Oh, no, that's the pump. Excuse me. It's called an omni pod. Yeah, yes. Can you see that under hair close? Why is your face like that? I'm just asking. You're like a nurse. She's like a full blown rock star. Guts on stage and a bra with it. Yeah. Who does? Estee Heim. You know who else does? Who? Nick Jonas. Oh, I didn't know who else. This is Diab. I know. He's awareness. I know. Sure is. I didn't know. I did not know. Yep. Huh. Cue the rainbow. And she rotates it. Am I correct? The more you know. The more you know. Does he have to change the batteries? Yes. Yes. Does he have to charge the pump? Or does he have to change the batteries? Like what? She's not paralyzed. She's, I mean, she's like a full human. Does he have to charge it? I mean, how do we? He won't have to worry about it. I just want him to manage his expectations here. Is she ever has a seizure? The only thing he would have to do if she ever had a seizure is administer glucagon. But. Do you have that? What's that? Glucagon? That is, it's like, picture like Narcon for an overdose. Well, shit, now he's got to care around gluca. What is it? Yeah. You want glucagon. Glucagon. Or bisquami. Right. Yes. Holy shit. This is a lot. This is disgusting is what this is. You can handle it. Awful. No, I feel like he's. So it's like an EpiPen. He's got to walk around. Correct. Well, also, I should say that she also has life threatening food allergies. Oh, to what? As does my son. Should he bring the EpiPen on the first date? Epi and the glucagon. Yes. She also do not give Rachel salmon. That won't end well. Did you write that down, Ke'an? No salmon. Oh, you love salmon. I love salmon. You're not dear. Put your hands. Exactly. Thank you. Thank you. With her, can she be around salmon? Yes. OK, you're right. She could be salmon to Jason. She doesn't have a nut allergy, does she? No. My son has a very life threatening tree nut allergy. It's a womp, womp, womp. You got a couple winners. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Annie. Annie. Holy shit. That fell out. Wait. Wow. Wow, you two-bit whore. Jeez. Not really to your listeners about the two-bit whore thing. We got past that a long time ago. We're past that. Yes. How did Rachel's ex-boyfriend do with the insulin and the this? I don't know. Maybe that's why. Glucagon. You listen. Glucagon. I gotta write that down. Glucagon. She never had a seizure. She doesn't. It's not like she has them regularly. So he never had to administer those things. This is why he broke up with her. This is not why he broke up with her. That is disgusting. Disgusting. I'm just asking. It is disgusting. This is like she, it's a disease. You can't make fun of a disease. I'm not making fun of anything. You are. I'm learning about it. Annie's over there like, Jeff Vestler shoots bad loads. Like, the whole thing is disgusting. She never said that. Yes, she did. I've never talked about that. That's literally what she said. No one's talking about Jeff Vestler's loaves. I will not even repeat that. Disgusting. Disgusting. Where's my croissant? Let's go back to croissant talk. As we are learning today, you might be interested to note 9.2 to 9.5 million people worldwide are living with type 1 diabetes. It's a lot of people. There you go. Very interesting. Worldwide. That seems like not a lot. No, because there's like billions of people. So that's not a lot. There's like a lot of people in the world. So you found one of them. Yeah. Keen. She's special. One of the 9 million. I love that. For you. This is romantic. Thank you. Thank you, Jackie. Oh, what's that movie where the girls are real sick and they fall in love, fault with her? Oh, Fault in Our Stars. Oh, you have to watch that with her. Excuse me. She's not dying. That was so sad. No, I never saw it. I read it. Don't. Or like, watch the movie for you to watch this weekend. Wow. Off. I mean, so let's say she did have something like that. Would you tell Keen not to date her? No, I would just not tell Keen. I want him to fall first, right? Got it. I want him to fall in love with Rachel first. Got it. Got it. Before we tell him about the diabetes, the pump, the glucagon, the salmon. She's going to love this episode. The salmon. The salmon, you're right. Yes. So no, oh my god. Nobu. You just go. Can't go to Nobu with Clyde. Yeah. You can go to Nobu. You just can't. What else can she eat? Salmon sushi. Salmon, that's it. I feel like there's more and you're not telling us. What is her allergy? Her allergy is to salmon. What do you mean? What is it? Are you OK? I thought that was different. What is her allergy? It's a pho-sal-g-y. I thought she was telling us salmon. Yeah, she didn't like it. She doesn't like it, so she carries an EpiPen. So case. You're not going to accidentally eat salmon. You could accidentally eat nuts, though. Sure could. That's scary. Yeah, my son. It's so horrible. So you've got, like, what, a pocketful of EpiPens for your kids? Yeah, I do. I can't lie. I know. It's a lie. They're in the car, at the house, the purse is the. Correct. Correct. Wow. Uh-huh. And you find out the hard way? Yeah. Oh. That's scary. Yeah. With my son, he was like three at my mom's, and she gave him, like, a teeny tiny piece of epistachio. Because, like, just even the choking thing, she was so careful, and his face blew up like a baseball mitt. It was. Wow. Yeah, it was awful. So we knew. And then he's had other, like, you know, whatever happened. He didn't know there were nuts in it. Yeah. So, yeah, food allergies are not, they're no joke. They do this thing now where they have a powder that you give babies at, like, six months, like an allergy powder that you mix in with yogurt that exposes them to nuts, to shellfish, like, anything that's like a big allergy reaction, whatever, and you give it to them. And I guess if you expose them early, it helps, like, not have food allergies or something. I don't know. Did you do it? I haven't tried the powder. I did it. I feel like you're talking out your ass right now. I swear to God. I got it at Airwan. It's a powder. OK. Google it. All right. Well, we're going to Google it. Google it. Yeah. Go for it. Do you sound very convincing? My son asked to go to Nobu on FaceTime this morning. OK, it worked. I heard him. Isn't that embarrassing? I heard him. No, what's embarrassing is that I didn't give my kids that powder. No, I think it's very new. Well, is it too late? Can we give him the powder now? I think it's probably a little bit too late, unfortunately. Can't you, like, eat, like, one peanut a day and, like, get you used to it? I follow a wrong TikTok that does that. It's like, exposure therapy. I don't know if we recommend that, Andy. Yeah, let's not. I don't think you should be saying that on radio. Let's not thank you. Let's not float that. Yes. Yes. I saw it on TikTok. Oh, then it must be true. I used to babysit a kid with a very severe peanut allergy, like, couldn't be in the room with peanut butter. And as a disciplinary tactic, I would be like, if you don't listen to me, I'm going to get a jar of chiffy. Oh, my god. Spread it all over your body. Yeah. And I ran into him recently. Did it work? Yeah, totally. And I ran into him and his mom, like, not long ago. This is 20, 30 years ago or whatever. And she said to me, she's like, my son used to come home and tell me that you've gotten to spread peanut butter all over him if he didn't listen to you. And I adapted it. I picked that up as a discipline tool. So thank you. You're welcome. I was an amazing babysitter. Sounds like it worked. Do you guys have the peanut free table at lunch? Like those poor kids that cancel with the other kids at lunch? Oh, it's all nut free now. Andrew packed almonds a week ago and it was a panic. Yes. It was a lot of anxiety. We had a problem too. I was putting, I don't know. I was putting peanuts in her lunch. She loves home. And here's about other kids. She does love the peanuts. I know. But I didn't real, I mean, it was great. Remember when they were out, that school got real mad at me. Jamie Kennedy was upset. Does anyone else in this room have allergies to food or anything? No. No. Wow. Does anyone else have diabetes here? No. Me, gestational. Oh, that's right. That's right. Jackie's going to be Grand Marshal of the parade this year. Yes, I am. Well, I have to say you really sold it. Yeah. Rachel really sold it. When Rachel got it, I was like, oh, this has to be from Jeff's side. There's no way. Because I don't have anything except that I have a sister who's younger than Rachel, who then also got it. Is she the hot one? No. She's younger than Rachel. How old is she? Oh, which is the real pretty one, the blonde one, your sister? Yes. That's Rob and she's my sister. I like Rob there. Yes. I have a half sister who is 21. Right. Wow. I know it's all fucked up.

I don't understand. It's like a weird thing in my brain. I can't, Lonnie, Lonnie Love will be here. Yes, like a green lawn. And then tomorrow, we have Beverly DeAngelo, Nichelle Turner and Jamie Kennedy. Lovely. That'll be fun. I'm looking forward to that. That'll be great. Two hours above. Sign me up. You, first of all, the American Dream Mall. Oh, God, aren't you bored? No, I'm not. I'm gonna tell you why. I am so excited. I think I'm gonna take Monroe there when I go to New York in March. I'm going to the American Dream Mall. I think it's perfect. Cause there's like a roller coaster there. There's caviar, there's a whole thing. They wanted you to come for a long time. She had a pink golf cart. You didn't have to walk all the way. Oh my God, she's gonna love that. They're gonna send you the pink. She's gonna want one. They're gonna send you the pink golf cart. She deserves one. There's gonna be no lines. There's gonna be- Annie, you wanna come with us? Yeah. BTS. She wants me to buy her something probably. Both girls. Obviously. What about the cringles? Weren't you like an ambassador for Kringle? I mean, ambassador is a stretch, but we're still, we're talking now about Valentine cringles. Would you say enthusiast? Yes, I'm definitely an enthusiast. Oh my God. And they've definitely worked with me. So I have done endorsements for them. I've done some nice paid endorsements for them. Cyclasha, do cringles. They can't. Why? She sprained her ankle. No, can't we outsource the cringles? She's not putting them in the oven with her feet. They are one of the few outsource items from Trader Joe's, so why not add to the Cyclass as well? Yeah, why not give someone else the endorsement? You took one job away from me, and now I don't have Kringle? You should endorse Kringle for Cyclass. A collaboration. A Cyclass collab. And proceeds go to Type 1 Diabetes. Oh, why do we have to do that? A sugar retreat for Type 1 Diabetes? It's ironic, it's fun, yeah. Okay, fine. A very small portion. Kringle is mine. I don't understand, now you got, exactly. I love how you take ownership of these things. You do like one post, and then suddenly like, you're the face of Kringle. Have you ever hung in Kringle? No, actually I did. Exactly, exactly. Really, Ash, we should pay more attention to Jen Fessler. Thank you. Between the American Dream Mall and the cringles, you have really introduced me to a lot of things that I was missing out. I'm staying at the Petite Pally in Brentwood. Room 25. O-M-T. That's fucked up. If you want to talk to Jen Fessler, it's Petite Pally in Brentwood, room 25. Jen, you posted it on the internet. You sure did. Oh my God! You posted the door. That's how I knew you were in room 25. Oh my God! You've doxxed yourself. That's how I knew you were in 25. Oh, that is crazy. That's so funny. That is sad. You're gonna have to move rooms. No, really? No, it's like a nice room. How is there a full kitchen? Like, I was this crazy. It's like an apartment. It did upgrade me to a suite. But the whole place, and they gave me cookies, chocolate chip cookies, which they give to the guests every night, these huge, unbelievable cookies. Yum. Hopefully no nuts. Yes, no nuts. But they gave me some for you guys. Yeah, it's number one on TripAdvisor in LA. Number one hotel. Wow. I put you there, but it's in Brentwood. It's too far. It's kind of far. But you know what, I tried to get you in the Pally house by my house on third. Yeah. But they were booked, right? They were sold out. They were sold out. It's Grammy week. People are in for Bout of Town. Oh, is that what it is? Okay. Yeah, me too. That's why I'm here. It's also very reasonably priced. Yeah. 300 bucks. Can people go right to your room or do you need a key to go to the elevator? You can go right to the room. I'm totally gonna have to switch rooms. It's like street access. Mm-hmm. So. No, I was worried now for your security because you posted the- I know. Your room door. I can't even believe you. I totally forgot. I cannot believe I did that. Listen, I eat that famous. No one's coming, okay? Leave gifts. You should be surprised. There's a lot of desperate people out there. Yeah. That's nice. So sweet. All right, sorry. I did wanna ask you both and I think I know the answer to this, Jackie. This poor man who is, where was he? China. Mm-hmm. He divorced his wife. Now, first of all, for six years, this guy was like, I wanna retire. I'm gonna work hard. I'm gonna save my money and I'm going to save up a good chunk so I can retire. But turned out his wife blew all the savings basically spent it on a male streamer and only fans situation. Oh. So she spent, which is equivalent to $94,000 and has left the family in debt. So she will be divorcing him. I mean, he'll be divorcing her. Okay. Andrew spends a couple hundred thousand on an only fans model. I'm guessing you're out. Yeah. What about you, Jen? I, Jeff doesn't know what only fans is. He's like a hundred. You catch him and he spent $50,000, $200. Oh, no, I wouldn't give a shit. I kinda knew that about you. I wouldn't. You wouldn't care? Mm-mm. No. I would care. I would care too. If you're spending that much money and like it's an emotional affair, like you think that you're like funding this girl's life. Like that's my stuff. If you're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars that you're taking out of my son's future college accounts. I mean, my accounts, like think about what you could do. That is disgusting. What if it was just 10 grand? You'd probably forgive it. You'd probably get the dolphins out of the pool. I need more than 10 grand to get those dolphins out. Here's the thing I want you to think about. I mean, I would. He makes good money, right? So you're gonna be leaving that situation over money that he spent on an only fans model. I have no prenup. Mm. Nice. I know, but there's future earnings there. You gotta think about that. I feel like I could make a case to get royalties, like his music royalties for all of eternity. Jennifer Tilly, you're gonna pull a Tilly. Yeah, I'm gonna pull a Tilly. You're gonna get the Simpson. And ask for half of his catalog. Yep. Yeah, I could do that. Okay, so I'm glad we figured that out. Yeah, I'll be fine. Okay, fine. You don't give a shit. No. I would be pissed. Well, first of all, my kids are already through college. But the problem is that they have health issues, so you don't want, you know, you don't wanna get divorced. Well, I think you would probably still take care of his children. Okay. Yeah, one would hope that. Yes, one would hope. It's not that I wouldn't care. I can't complain about him wasting money. I've wasted so much money. And still do. And still do. So it's a little hypocritical. Yeah. No, I mean, I can see that. I haven't renovated my yard yet, so I'd be very upset. What is happening? We're doing it. We're starting. Are you doing the HeartScape, the drainage, everything? The pool, the landscaping. Everything. I'm so excited for you. I'm so excited. But did Andrew agree to this, or are you just demoing it? We're just moving forward. I said, we can have a discussion if you'd like, but we have waited a long enough time, and I'm pulling the trigger on this. Sorry. And when he was in Nashville, I met with a landscape architect. I said, when can we break ground? Good. He's too, he's like just a warrior, and well, it'll never get done. I have to like execute plans. What's in the plan? Oh God, we're moving a retaining wall 10 feet. We're doing like an outdoor living room. I've been looking at tiles. I'm thinking limestone. Get crazy. This is hundreds of thousands of dollars, Jack K. Well, yeah, but it's gonna improve. And he can't spend a couple on only fans? No, it's gonna increase the value of our home. And it's important. Hopefully we're using Clyde's education fund. Yeah, he's not going to college. Let's see real. Oh good. Julie in Chicago has advice for Kean. He just went to grow up. Oh, she has type one diabetes. Hi, Julie. Hi, oh my gosh, shout out to him. Shout out, Julie. Kean, he just went to get Lonnie Love. So we'll- Oh no, okay. No, it's okay. Well, I have advice for him though. Okay, tell us and we'll tell him. Hi, Julie. Thank you for calling me. Okay, hi. I hope you're mad at Jeff. A little bit. I think people are gonna come for you, Jeff. Yeah. I'm just asking questions. I'm not making any judgments. Of course. Of course. Of course. So I was diagnosed actually fun fact as an adult. So I was 29 years old. So when I was being trained by the nurse to wear my insulin pump, she told me to take it off for the three S's, which is swimming, showers, and sex. Okay, you have to take it off during sex. Great. Can you just walk down, Julie? So you can't leave the pump on during sex. I think you can. Correct. You can though, right, Julie? Yeah. You also don't want the site to get ripped out, you know? Yeah. Only Jen understands what I'm talking about. Yeah. I see. Okay. That's good advice. And then do you carry around one of the glucagon? Glucagon. Glucagon. Or the squammy. I actually, I don't. I've never, I'm supposed to. I've never had an issue with it. I've never, with the insulin pump and the sensor, the technology is great. Yes. It's an issue. Okay, good. How many times have you had to actually use it? A few. I mean, she got it when she was 12. Recently? No, not recently, but she got it when she was 12. You know what's happened, what did happen with her and her ex-boyfriend is that, and Julie could probably relate to this, but one night, I guess they went out, and when you're drunk, being drunk, and having low blood sugar look like the same thing. They'd gone out, they were drinking obviously, they got back, she was throwing up, and he, and she freaked out on him. You could also get, Julie, I don't know if this happens to you, very belligerent, like nasty mean. Oh. You didn't get, oh, you've never had, have you never gotten that low? When you drink? Not just when you, just when you drink. I think I have like, well, I have different symptoms. I feel like when I'm low, it does, it can be perceived to others as like being drunk. Are you a mere drunk? You're not just a mere drunk. You're not just a mere drunk. You can't be, I don't think so. So people with diabetes are mean drunks? No. When you have low blood sugar. It's not even about being drunk. I know a lot of people that must have diabetes. No, it looks like if you're- You think Tyler has diabetes? Happy birthday to him. Oh, it's his birthday today. He's a mean drunk. It's actually good for Key, because he's not a drinker. So he won't be encouraging her, like that won't really be a part of their relationship. It's actually a great influence on her. But you guys have completely missed the whole point of what I was saying. It's not about her getting drunk. Oh, sorry. It's about when she's low, if you're in a bar and she's low blood sugar. People don't realize that she is, she's low. When you get too low, that's when you have a seizure. Oh, they think she's drunk. What if she's not drunk? Yes. What if she has like a margarita or a pina colada, something with a lot of sugar at the bottom? That would help, that helps. But sometimes you go past that point and you need glucagon. Like a Cosmo maybe? This doesn't happen every day. Cosmo is really sugary or a daiquiri. Yeah, pina colada. One other really sugary. Oh, that would be good. I love, yeah, that would be good. Oh my God, I love a pina colada. I love a chichi. So if I had diabetes, I'd have to change my drinking habits? No, oh my God. No, you'd have to drink more. You'd have to drink sugar. Because I need sweeter drinks. Have you ever had a chichi? What's a chichi? No, does it have a lot of sugar? Yes, it's a pina colada with vodka. Oh. Instead of the rum or in addition? No, instead of. Oh, sometimes I do well. You're crazy. A pina chichi. I'm learning a lot today. Thank you, Jen. You're very welcome. I'm gonna give you a service. I believe the diabetes people are coming for me. Yay. I just realized that you've been actively trying to tank your radio show this whole time and you're doing a great job at it. Oh, wow. That really wasn't my intention. I think her blood sugar is low. She's acting on it. Shade. You said it turned into a bit. Oh, give her a pina colada. Chichi, I've never felt more well-behaved in my entire life. Really? Yeah, I feel like I'm doing a great job navigating this terrain. I was gonna ask why Harrison broke up with Mitchell, but now I know why. Don't. So, you have some movies, we've been putting together some movies for Keen to watch this weekend. Yeah. Steel Magnolias, did you get that? Steel Magnolias, A Walk to Remember, and then The Notebook. There is no way. The Notebook. No, The Notebook, they don't remember me. Does anyone die in The Notebook? Yeah, of old age. What a... Yeah. Not The Notebook, Steel Magnolias for sure. Yeah. The Notebook crossed that one out. A Walk to Remember. Oh, with Mandy Moore. Did she die? Spoiler alert. OK, let me just say. Did she have diabetes? Keen, up. Oh my god, what's that song? Rachel's not dying. What other movies? I think I'm up, just the first 10 minutes. This is really fun for me. Wait, up? Yeah, it's the animated one. It's so sad at the beginning. Why did he lose his wife? But is that of old age too? Did she have diabetes? They don't know it's only music. There's no... You have to put the pieces together in your brain. You can put them together. It's only one movie or some kind of diet. I didn't put the pieces together. It's just Steel Magnolias. That's the one he should watch? No, I haven't let Rachel watch it, so... Oh, so maybe they should watch it together. Yeah, maybe then she'll come to terms with her disease. OK. Wow, this has really taken a turn. Sure has. I went to the dentist yesterday, I got my teeth cleaned. And what I love about my dentist is that they have TVs. So nice. And they're up on the ceiling. So I'm looking up and I can watch whatever I want. I started Frankenstein on Netflix. How is it? They thought it was a strange choice, but I really liked it. He's so hot. Well, I've only the first 30 to 40 minutes right now because then my cleaning was done. So I've now got to check back in so I can finish it. But I liked it. Check back in in three months when you go back to the dentist. Oh, you're right. Just make that your dentist movie and watch it in installments. So yeah, the girl in that was like, oh. Well, they normally do like cooking shows or like great British bake off. Like is it cake? That's what normal people watch. But Frankenstein was a good choice. Were you watching it too? I started, but then I had to work. I was bopping and out. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. You were working. Because obviously I bring Shane everywhere. So he came into the room with me. Right. And then I had him move his chair next to me. So he's staring up at the ceiling? So he could see Frankenstein with me. That's adorable. Yeah. Just trying to see Jason. That's adorable? That's a little weird. He's my emotional support animal. It's very codependent. I'm like, you're still like 90210. I'm a snowball on your back. And you bite. That was the dentist. He's real chatty. I really like him. And he's real chatty. And he has lots of questions. And I'm fine with it. But when I took Monroe there, what did she say? She was so rude. She was like, so are we here for a conversation or a teeth cleaning? Shut up. No. She shut him down. Oh my god, what a snobber. She was sick of the small talk. He was talking about the four seasons and he's tripped to Santa Barbara. And she just shut him down. She's like, this ain't the Spanish inquisition about how do you get clean in.
