We talk about Cynthia's lost luggage, book signings, and check-ins with your partner. Good morning and welcome back, Cynthia. Good morning. Reza, we've got a lot of merch here today to promote. We've got the pantry list. Do you want to start with the pantry list or the G-shop? But the pantry list isn't facing the camera, so I had to put... There you go. Let me set up a little. Thank you. Yes, there we go. Okay, so we have your trail mix. Yes. I didn't realize there's 15 different variations, right? There's so many blends. It's customizable. And Miss Cynthia Bailey got the Persian Delights, the gift box of Persian Delights. I did. I'm excited. Interesting because Reza's here almost weekly and we never got the Persian Delight. I never got the Persian Delight. We just got the supplier of... I wouldn't know, but it looks really good. It's coming. Next time I come, Persian Delights all the way around. Okay, but today we just have enough for Cynthia. Yes. Correct. Okay, Cynthia, where have you been? We haven't seen you since November. I know. I have not been to LA this year. It is crazy. It is like a snack, by the way. Miss Cynthia Bailey. Speaking of snacks, right? No, you look beautiful. I am a whole snack over here. You are. A small snack. I've lost a little weight. I haven't been to LA. I'm still with Amsterdam. Prince is still around. Prince, he is still around. I literally wake up. I'm like, he is still here. He's still here. He won't leave. I'm glad to hear that. I'm really glad to hear that. I was going to be one of my questions today. Oh, yeah. He's still here. We're almost two years in. Wow. I just celebrated a big birthday. Five-nine. The big, big one is next year. Five-nine is not really a big birthday. It's not. I really like... No, it's not a big birthday. Well, okay. But it's like the T-up for the big birthday. The big birthday. 59. That's the year. Well, I mean, after 55, they all are kind of big because it's like, you know, you're just... Girl, you look amazing. Thank you. Like, amazing. So you're doing Weight Watchers and you're also doing in conjunction with JLP Ones. Is that correct? Yes. And not getting text messages being called the... You got a text message. A text, not even a DM. A text. Should we read it? I got a text message. To your person. That's your phone. To my personal number. Fuck you, ugly fat fuck. I hope you die. And I was horrified because I was like, am I fat? Well, first of all, you're not a fuck. You're not fat and you're not ugly. Well, have you seen The Valley Persian Style? Yeah. What was the... There was like, maybe the earlier episodes. Yes. Well, Shaus is on Netflix. Maybe he saw like, want like a bad season of... Like maybe he saw something that's like... Yes. You know. When they used to scare me that there wouldn't be another season and I would be stress eating between seasons and coming back very fat. Whoever that is is obviously not caught up. No. Right, they're not caught up. They didn't see the season finale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of The Valley Persian Style. Yeah, they need to retract that. On Peacock. Now, but Annie made you feel better because she said that the person that wrote that to you is probably also a fat fuck. Correct. Which makes you feel better. That he's correct or she's correct. Exactly. I didn't mean it like that. You're literally so skinny. Thank you. I was writing notes for Jeff Fessner and all I could think is Reza is skinny, Reza's so thin. Why won't he eat? I love you. Are we gonna respond to him? No, I don't think so. I think that's what they want. They want a response. They want the engagement. They want the response. Well, welcome back, Cynthia Bailey. I heard that you did a movie with Tay Diggs. I did. Well, kinda. Okay, it was a movie that he was... No, no, no. It was a Tay Diggs movie, but I didn't have any scenes with Tay. Oh, okay. Well, that's kind of a bummer. But I'm getting close. What did you play? Did you play his mother? Did you play a best friend? What did you play? I played the best friend. I played the sister to the lead that actually had scenes with Tay. And she's a prostitute. No, she's not a prostitute. Why would you think she's a prostitute? Oh, I just assumed. That's a weird assumption. Oh my God, I love you. She's a nice... She plays a nice business woman. And we shot it in Nevis. And if you guys don't know where that is, because I didn't know until I went... Privy, St. Kitts? Yeah, it's like St. Kitts. And then you take a little boat and it's like super really nice, actually. How long was the shoot? I was there for a week. Okay. And I think they were there for like probably three weeks. So, unfortunately, you didn't get to play Tay's love interest. I did not. And you didn't get to hook up with anybody? I did. I'm in a relationship. On camera. Oh, on camera. Oh, yes. Okay, so no, I had no kissing scenes or make out scenes on camera. It says here in NFL superstar Jets off to the Caribbean to reset his life and finds romance. Yes. Does he find romance in the end? He does. Oh, shit. Oh. Oh. I'm not supposed to give it away. You guys have to just stay tuned and watch it. It's gonna be coming out in a lifetime. No. No. We don't need to because he gets to find love and romance. Can we just talk about Miss Cynthia Bailey getting all the jobs and all the checks? All the, like congratulations because you are out here working. She does a lot of shit. She does a lot of shit for her. I'm so impressed. No, you don't understand. I don't do that anymore. I have so many talks with her. About what? Why are you here in LA and are you doing it for free? Okay. Why am I here in LA? I'm here. Let me guess. Charity. Well, listen. Okay. Well, first of all, I was here for the Women's Cancer Research Fund event that was last night. Did you get paid? I did not. And, but it was for a good cause. I'm on the committee and I saw a bunch of people there that you guys know, you know, a bunch of housewife people. Who? I saw Teddy. Okay. And Kyle and Kathy Hilton. Who else did I run into? Who else was there? J.C. Who are you talking to? Oh, sorry. He's not supposed to be in here. Okay. Just, you know, LA and Hollywood. Sounds like a fun night. It was good. It was really, oh, wait a minute. Kerry Washington got the Un-Sung Hero Award. I think that's what it's called. And oh my God. And then J.Lo was there. She announced something. Okay. Oh, she presented the award to Kerry Washington. It was. What was your award? I didn't get an award. Oh, well then why don't you go? Because I'm on a committee. Got it. Got it. Okay. And how much money did you guys raise? A lot. Like it's a good room. I can't remember. Good answer. Yeah. But it was a lot. You can't remember. It was like millions. Wow, great. It was, it was, it was good. Productive evening. Yeah, it was great. Now what else are you here for? Okay. The Jeff Lewis show. Yes, of course. You guys always come and hang with you guys. More charity. And then I'm going to, after I leave here, I have to be, I'll stop. Okay. Yeah. I actually paid here. It's not, I, you know, I don't know if we get a raise after a certain amount of time. I feel like. Who do I need to talk to? I feel like I get a little bump up. I've been pretty consistent, but you know, it's so crazy. You've been gone for five months. I'm talking about pretty consistent. Okay. But like seriously, what else did I do? Oh, I'm going to the Essence Hollywood Women's Luncheon carpet after this. I got to go and have a different, yeah. The carpet starts at 11. So we got to like. What are you doing? What are you changing? What? Do you want me to end the show early? Stop. No, no, no. Oh my God. No, but I didn't want to cancel this because I hadn't seen you guys in like five months. So I was like, I'm just going to go there. But you know you're on until 11, right? No. No, she's only on until 10. Oh, okay. So did you have. You had two hours? No, you had two hours. No. I only got two hours once. Oh. So you came here for the free breakfast. And I only ordered, well, two croissants. Yeah. Nice try. So Annie, what, where's Annie? She's posting. She walked out just in time. So you had requested two croissants and then we knocked it down to one. I saw that. I saw that. What else did you get? Did you order a little latte over there or something? It's a little cappuccino. That's fine. It's going to be a long day. And then I had to take the red eye bag. I got a housewife thing. Oh, housewives is coming on April 4th of 5th, I think. Atlanta? Atlanta. Atlanta housewives is great. Great plot. Can not wait. What was the issue? So the, what do they call it? What's the other show you did? Oh, the ultimate girl's trip. Oh yeah. Did I hear a rumor that nobody, did you guys, the luggage didn't follow you? Oh my God. So, Phaedra, myself and Cherie, we were all in the same flight together. It was like all kind of crazy weather stuff going on. From where to where? To the Berkshires. Okay. Which I think we just flew into JFK and then we had to drive an hour, we'll be driven an hour to the Berkshires. Yes. So we get there and it's like a whole thing like, and we switched flights because I forget which one was like, we should just switch flights or whatever. And I was like, that luggage is not going to come. You guys, like I just felt really uncomfortable about it. What happens? We don't get our luggage. Like the whole time. I literally had the same thing. The whole time you were there? The whole time. Never got a piece of luggage. I had a kit from Delta with a toothbrush in it and toothpaste and some lotion. So we had the same clothes. I'm washing them underwear all the time. Like for the whole two, three days. So where is the, where did the luggage go back to your home? Like where did it go? Oh, well my luggage, actually one of them never left Atlanta. Oh, wow. And then the other one went to like New York, but like it was like, it was a mess. So we wore like our same clothes to the event. Like we get there and we're like, everybody's all in their outfits and we just like crazy, but we still had to go. Okay. So I do want to understand what happened. So you were booked on a flight. You checked in and you checked your luggage. Yes. Was that flight also with Delta? Were they both Delta? That was all Delta. I only fly Delta. Did the flight get delayed and you moved on to another plane? Yes. So the flight got delayed. Okay. And then we started freaking out because we're like, oh, we should try to get on another flight. Your luggage, is it going to make it? And I asked the lady and she looked me in the eyes. I said, is the luggage going to be on our flight? We cannot not have the luggage. She was like, no, it automatically, you know, just transverse. Oh God. No, no, no, no, no. Okay. That was a look me in my eyes and you know, what's interesting is that it's the flight was going to the same place, right? Yeah. Just later. Did that flight end up getting canceled completely? I think it actually may have. Yeah. So that's and your luggage. That we just switch. Your luggage was there. But we just didn't get the luggage until it was time to go to come back. That's the worst. That's the worst though. And then, you know, it's like, oh, I'm going to definitely get a bunch of miles and I'm going to get all kinds of stuff for this. When I went to the, I remember when I went to Kentucky Derby actually going to see Andy. Oh, I'm going to go this year. Are you going this year? I'm not going this year, but I went with Andy. I'm going and I'm actually being paid. Thank you very much. Just a paid work job. Finally. Yeah. Finally you're getting paid for something. Yeah. Continue. I think it was a day. It was a good solid day, day and a half late. So I had to go to CBS and get underwear. But here's the problem. We talked about this. They were out of men's underwear. So you got women's? Yeah. I had to. I couldn't free ball. I couldn't free ball. Why did you go to another store? Because it was late and I had to go to bed and I had to get up early the next day. I was doing something for NBC, which they did not pay me, which they should not. I was terrible. So you do unpaid jobs too. Wash your underwear in the curate. That's what I should have done. Yeah. And then got sued by the hotel. Do you hear about that girl? Nasty girl. Ew. Nasty. Wait, what happened? Don't ever make coffee in your room. She was washing her underwear in the curate machine in the hotel room. And I think the hotel is now suing her. Yeah. I'll let you think. But I don't use the coffees. I don't. I watch all the shows. I don't either. I don't use the curate. I don't use those coffee makers. Yeah. I order just fresh coffee in the morning. Yeah. It's tricky. No. And just one croissant. Okay. That's given season one of Shots of Sunset Vibes. Well, we would order food at the table. I could see one of the production people changing the order from the waitress and like canceling 90% of the order at only like two, three items ever made into the table. So we went to, where did we go to Boulevard the other night? And we were filming. And you know, you know, Alex Baskin, he's a little tight. I love him. I love him. But you know, he's pretty good with budgets. Yeah. So I was, I ordered the caviar. I love that. We didn't get crazy. No, I got caviar, meatball and tuna and tartare. That's not a lot. Did it make it to the table? Sure did. Oh, sure did. They didn't stop it. But then the funny part is, is they closed, they closed out pretty quickly because we had two drinks and then they closed it out. So when we wanted another drink, I had to give them my credit card. Oh. You know how it works. Yeah. Okay. All right. I got it. Yeah. At least you got that caviar. Was it good? We got the caviar for free and I got the first two drinks for free. They're just putting it on everything now, right? Now, I heard that you had a wonderful idea. She's going to ask for caviar. Coming off the success of the Egypt trip, you have decided to book another curated trip where you host. Really? Yeah. First of all, the Egypt trip was not successful thanks to some person that helped sabotage it. Who? Jay and L. You sabotaged it? No one wants to go to Egypt. Well, we found it out. I mean, hello. Talk to a friend from the Middle East and let them let you know about places that you may want to be taking people to. Where's this next trip? You're going to be involved in this. No. Okay, Bali. For my 60th birthday. Oh. You. Oh my God. Oh, shoot. Okay. The big 6-0 spiritual retreat. You guys have a year to save your money. Okay. I'm going to try to save that company. Can we ride elephants? Yes. And we can wash them. Eat, pray, love. Okay. That was a test and you failed. Oh, wait. We can't ride elephants. We can't ride them. You'll get canceled. They hate it though. Okay, take that out. Take that out. Oh my God. It's already out there. Okay, I'll take it back. Okay, but we can wash them, right? Yes. Feed them. And kiss them. And kiss them. Yeah. But I think that's a good, it's, Bali's good, right? Yes, for sure. Because as you get older, like, you just want to just like, I just want to like. Can't you keep it simple? Accessible. Make it accessible. Go to Hawaii. People just want to go because you're going. Well. And to see your new bikini bod. Yeah. Okay. I just want, like, I think this is going to be the last big one that I celebrate. I feel like you do an easier one that's inexpensive that everybody can afford. That you don't need a passport for. That we can all put on our credit cards and pay later. Can we just go to Palm Springs or something? Like, just do something around there. We can all put on Oscar's credit card. Yeah. We'll just pay an interest only pay. I think you guys just totally shut down my Bali trip. I want to go to Bali. Thank you, Amy. I'm not giving you that kind of time off. Thank you. See, that's the other thing too. How long is that flight? We needed a long weekend. Okay. You know, you should talk to Caroline Standbur. She's doing this retreat. She's doing really well. She is. It's like Friday, Saturday night. She went, where did she go? Like Sequoia Mountains? Yeah, to the, like, the trees. And stayed in... Is that long enough though? Because I wanted us to go for, like, a week. That's too long. Nobody can go for a week. Okay. We should do a long weekend. Tracy just did that for her 50th. She did, like, 10 days in the UK. Okay, that's too long. That's too long. Way too long. Where should she go? It doesn't matter where you go. But, like, so what are we doing? If I don't need a passport, I'm much more likely to go. Much more likely. And Jeff had it right there. Like, if you do some destination that everyone dreams of visiting, like Hawaii, if you booked Hawaii, I'm there. Okay. That's easy to easy flight for us. Okay, so where, where are the people that sent Hawaii? It's all about us. Like, I've been to, like, Kona and there's another place that's cute. It doesn't matter where you go. It really doesn't. Okay, nobody cares. Just get a good group of people together. And make sure there's a boat. A boat. Yeah. Everyone loves boats. Like a yacht. Yeah. Okay. What do you mean, like a day excursion? No, they love to drink on a boat. Drunk. It's booze cruise. Yeah. Those young boys. The young girls love a booze cruise. Yeah. They can pick on a boat. Okay, I like where this is going. Instagram moments. All right, so we're gonna change the trip now to Hawaii. I'll look into Hawaii. But I'm gonna see. And Malauha. Friday, so Hawaii should be like a four day, three night? Or a five day, four night? We leave on Thursday. I think a five day, four night. And that's a lot of interaction with people though. You're gonna be exhausted. No. But you won't be exhausted from that. Let's just do a day trip to Hawaii. Okay. All right, you know, by the time we get done. The flying in the morning, I'll leave you to eat. Why don't we just go to dinner and call it a day? No, I'm coming to Hawaii. Thank you. If you do a birthday, 60th birthday, I'm coming A to support. B to see you. Thank you. I love you. Because people are gonna, they're gonna freak out. No one's gonna believe that you are 60. They're gonna think you're hustling people for a 60th birthday trip when you're 42. I'm calling bullshit because I think the reason you're being so supportive today is because you want us to all go to your book signing on April 7th at The Grove. at Barzeneville. Yes. The Grove. Please come to Memoirs. I'm going because there's a cheesecake factory there. Memoirs. I'm taking you to dinner afterwards for coming. And Crystal Minkoff is the MC hosting the event. Yes. Are you gonna cut me off after two drinks like Alec Baskett and Alex Baxon? No, no, I will put my card down and you can drink the night away. Unlimited. You can drink the night away. I am not bullshitting. Cynthia Bailey does not look 59. She doesn't look 49. No, it's crazy. I love you. I think we should stop talking about my age now because now. Yeah. Everyone's always like, oh, you shouldn't talk about it. And all I do is talk about it. But I think it's good, right? Representation matters. Who are you working with us on this trip? Well, I'm gonna try to, I was gonna reach back out to that company and say, I wouldn't use the same company. They didn't sell anything. I think it was like on me. Like they gave me the package. Talk to Caroline. I think you talk to Caroline. Where are you staying by the way while you're in Elm Bay? I'm at the Godfrey. They took me back. You're back at the Godfrey? I'm back. What room? Shut up. I'm gonna stay my room. But if anyone wants to speak to you, just call the Godfrey. Did they keep your microwave? They always call me. They still have my microwave. Yeah. I asked them all this time. It's still in the storage room. You're still using your same name? I don't have time to change the channel. I always forget. Like nobody really cares. So how many nights at the Godfrey in case people want to call? I'm checking out. All right. So today's your last. But I'm coming back next week. Okay. So today's your last. I like the Godfrey. I love the Godfrey. Did you go up to the rooftop? I did not make it up there yet. Okay. Now, Noel, I was surprised to hear, has moved back, especially after we did all of that work on that beautiful condo. I know. She has moved back to Atlanta. To Atlanta. Yes. I was excited to just like out of nowhere. It was like crazy. Like she came to visit me and she like wouldn't leave. She just kept like extending her stay and I was like, hello, are you going back to LA? I liked that little townhouse. It was so cute. It was a bit of a drive, but once you were there, it was so nice. And there's the island so close. I forgot about the islands. It was barfresh. I have so many give cards. How many give cards we have left? Oh, probably like eight more. We got to go to Porter Ranch. Just for that was a great, great location. It was a great location. Invite Judge Lauren Leake, obviously. Yeah. Is she in Porter Ranch? Oh, I love her. Nice house in Porter Ranch. So how do you feel about Noel going back? I love it. You know what? I didn't realize how much I missed her like in all seriousness as a mom. I think like, you know, because like her dad's on the East Coast, I'm on the East Coast. She's out here. Like if anything happened, God forbid, we're like so far away. I mean, I could call you guys to go check on her, I guess, but it just I have a lot of more peace. You know, I have a tracker on her. Like I don't have to look at this stupid tracker anymore. If anything happens, she's like right there. You had a tracker on her when she was in LA. Well, I still have the tracker. Yeah. So you're still tracking your daughter? I'm still tracking her. And how old is she? She just turned 26. Okay. And you're tracking her? Okay. That's appropriate. It's not an age thing. I still need nowhere, you know. How is it that your ex-husband, your ex-husband, Noel's father, gets better looking every single year? Yeah. He's aging very well. God, I don't know what you're still in. He's celebrated a birthday too. We're both Pisces. I heard is it true that he is the tribute, how good he looks to the pantry list? Yeah. Obviously. Anglo-Easome, of course. Oh, there he is. Anglo-Easome. Yes. Look at this guy. He's like aging in reverse. Yeah. So handsome. Yeah. And why Noel is so beautiful. Look at her parents. My goodness. Is she acting good? Yeah, her father is very good looking. She is. She's got some projects coming up. Oh, my God. She is definitely. I can't talk about them. I'll talk about them when I come back, but she's got some stuff. Right. Bruin. I'm excited for her. Yeah. How did, how did, how did, how did Zeddy, how did Zeddy total the car? So, what happened? So my husband is coming home. The night that I was on Watch What Happens Live with Rachel Zoo, Adam goes to one of our castmates homes to watch the episode of the Valley Persian style and see me on Watch What Happens Live. His way home, it's raining and LA, the streets are trash. Like the streets need to be repaved in LA. He hits a pothole that was so deep. He hit it so hard that the car got frame damage. The 2022 GLB with like 15,000 miles was totaled out. No. From a pothole? Totaled. I totaled out. That's not a pothole. That's a sinkhole. Yeah. Car got frame damage and was totaled out. That's crazy. Yeah. But he was okay. He was okay. The car, he couldn't drive the car. He couldn't drive it. So did you get a new car? We got a new car. He got a new car. I'm still driving my mom's second car and have been since 2021. What did he get? He got the new BMW X3. Please don't tell me. Did he get in it white? White? What's going on with white? He's not. All my cars are white. Like, I only got white cars. No, you have a beautiful hand rover. And it's white, I have a defender. But it's okay, you're a girl, that's a girl car. Okay. White is a girl car. No, Persians don't get white cars. Okay, so you got black. It's a dark, silvery, charcoal-y color. Pretty. I like those cars, they're pretty. I hope he doesn't wreck that one. What about his back, though, because he has neck issues and back issues? He went to Columbia, though, and he got stem cell therapy in his neck. How was it? It went so well. He's feeling like a new person. So potentially I'm going to go to Columbia to get some. I want to go with you. I need it for my ease. Where are you going to put it? Let's go for your 60th. I got into a really bad car accident and slipped three discs. Was Zeddy driving? Zeddy was not driving. I got in rear ended on the 134 two years ago and I'm still no settlement, no nothing. It's still ongoing. Wow. You never know until after like days after weeks after when you start to feel it. Yes. So you slipped three discs? Three discs. Holy shit. What did you do? I mean, what have you done for it? I've been, I got two epidurals. I've had like it was. Do they work the epidurals? I was not mobile. I was literally in such pain. I have a really good pain management doctor. What's his name again? LaLani. Yeah. LaLani. Yeah. He got me out of pain. So if you ever need somebody, let me know. Thank you. So I might be going to Columbia. I'm going to take Cynthia with me. I'll go. I want to get my knees like. Does anyone ever put stem cells in their penis? I mean, I don't need it. No, I know you don't. But I'm just asking for a friend. I don't know. There's a lady from Texas on the gram and she posted a picture of me from the Valley Persian style zoomed in on my package area. Yeah. I think I know that scene. Yeah. She was pointing it out. She's like, Reza, I had no idea. Yeah. I was surprised. I was surprised. But yes, I know what scene you're talking about. Middle Easterners carry some heat. Oh, spicy. It's a known thing. Okay. So the stem cells, Allie Landry just got back, I think from Columbia also. Oh, I know her. I'm going to have her on the show so we can talk about it. But I think she did it for more like cosmetic skin and that kind of thing. Okay. I like where this is going. For my birthday, maybe I should do a stem cell. Cause all my friends are mostly like older. I'm a young, but we can all like get a discount. It's not cheap. No, it's if you're older, you get a discount. No, if you do a group thing, you get a discount. It's your birthday and we'll get that's actually a great way. Yeah, we take chums like Columbia. No, no, no, no, no, I'm not going to call you. I think we're getting like, and I need to do pre-new, pre-new boy. Yes, you do. When's the last time you did it? I don't need to go. Stop it. Stop it. Why can't I get it? They tried for five years. They hate me. They won't let you do it? They won't let me do it. Why? You told me about it. You're the reason I did it. They wanted you. They said Cynthia, of course, come on, brought up the red carpet. It's a, we've tried, we pitch you and they just, they don't respond. But then when we pitched Cynthia, they're like, got back right away. And honestly, I think they're the ones that probably texted you. They're like so sick of us asking. Please pre-new boy, if you're listening. Yes. I just want to come in. I need to go back. And I want to come back. I need to go back for the third time, Shane. Okay. How often should we do it? Like seriously? Once a year or so. I think once a year. I mean, I think once a year. And once two years, once a year. Okay. Just because they found something last time, it was just a little desk thing. But still, like I didn't know. Yeah. And it was a time before. Yeah, first time. But then they scanned my brain the last time. Yeah. And that was scary. For them. Yeah. It took a long time for them to find it. I was in there. They're like, it's gotta be here somewhere. I wonder if they judge us by what we watch on the TV. Did you watch TV or a movie? You probably watched yourself. I had the option to shut up. I had the option. I can't remember what I watched. I think I did turn it on, but it was like, you know, it wasn't horrible. Like, you know what? I closed my eyes because I can be a little claustrophobic. So I just wanted to. It's so, it's big in there. I know. It's like a big capsule. But it's like one of those things you're like, once you're in there and you can't move and they're like, don't, you know, you have to be very still. So I just kind of felt like, oh, I want to get out now. So I just like. But I wonder if they judge you because I thought about it. Should I look smart and like ask them for a documentary? Obviously they judge you. But I was like, okay, episode four of Wednesday, please. Yeah. For sure they judge you. You think so. 100%. Oh, you wouldn't know though. Thanks. You don't get the five. No, they're going to call you. They're going to call you. I don't. Oh, God. Oh, my God. Do you still do those like obnoxious check-ins with your husband every night? Yes. God, that's a boner killer. It is not a boner killer. It is. It is not. Wait, what do you say? Like, what's a husband check-in? Listen to this bullshit. Okay. So give me your hand. Okay. So. This is the shit they do every night. How are you feeling? I'm feeling amazing. Is there something that you need from me tomorrow? Is there anything I can do for you tomorrow to make your day better? I love that question. This is ridiculous. For now, I can't think of anything, but I'll let you know. But thank you. I feel very seen and very hurt with you asking me that. Love you. And that's it. I feel like it's a girl thing. And we love this project. No, it's not. We're doing it tonight. It's connection. It's so sweet. Thank you, Jameson. I'd be like, I'm never having sex with you again. You're just not emotionally available. That's your problem. Not like that. You don't let people to touch you. Not like that. You check in with him every night like that? Like for 30, for like one minute? No. You do a check-in. You know what concerns me? Is that you're open in the door. And then it's... What door? Now he's gonna be like, yes, actually, what I've been missing. The door of the relationship. And then it's 20 minutes later. Not at all, because if you're doing... And now I'm too tired to watch what I want to watch on TV. You're doing it nightly. It's just connection. So there's no build-up. That's the whole point of it. Guarantee that shit's gonna backfire on you. Says, I've been married for 10 years. It'll be 11 years and we've been together for 15. It'll be 16 in a minute. What time does this happen? Before dinner, after dinner, before drinks? After dinner. It's in bed. We've done our scrolling. We've watched the TV. We're ready to like wrap it up, wind down and sleep. I love that. It's not interfering with anything. And I like that it's quick. It's not even long. It's not long. It's less than... It's not the kind of check-in I want. What kind of check-in do you want? It's gonna involve hands or your mouth. I don't... I don't want to talk about feelings. I don't care. Get over it. Most of the time, this is stuff you can't solve for him. Solve what? I'm telling you, there hasn't been a night where he's like, I have a problem with you. No! What kinds of things does he bring up at that time? Can you do this? Can you do that? No, but can you do it? Usually it's a task that I can take care of. It's something that he needs me to be involved with or a task he wants me to take care of. And when he says it to me in that moment, I'm like, oh my God, 100%. Am I the only person that doesn't want this? Well, my ex used to do it, and then he would gas like me and then thinking whatever I requested wasn't a problem. So this could be turning toxic. Reza, I think... I think it's beautiful. She called me a fat fuck earlier. What's toxic is this space is toxic. This show is toxic. Reza, I think it's beautiful and healthy and you're in a mode of ugly, unhealthy people. Thank you. Ugly? I think if it's all the talking. It's interesting that the positive people perceive this and the ones that are so positive. They're saying to be careful. Tell your therapist. If it involved a blue cheese stuffed olive, you'd be all about it. What you can incorporate very easily into that recipe. Oh, Norma, line two is upset. Uh-oh. Hi, Norma. Hi. Hello, Jeff. First of all, Reza, I absolutely love you. I love you back, Norma. If my husband of 51 years, we did this together. I think it's a great idea. And Jeff, just shut up. I have one other thing I want to say. Yes. Jeff, you are the greatest father of all time. Thank you, Norma. If my father would have been 50% of you, it would have been wonderful. I'm sorry. Thank you. I just think you're such a great dad. Thank you. I'm trying to write my wrongs. Thank you, Norma. You are a good dad. You need to check in with her tonight and be like, Monroe, what can we do? You and Monroe should do it! Jeff! There you go. If she had a request, how would you receive a request? If you said to her, how would you... I would do that for her. Boom! Boom! Only person. Boom! And maybe Jameson. We have Phoenix. We'll be checking in.

So if someone still wants to see it even though we know how it ends, it is called Paradise With You. Yes. When will it... I'm guessing you probably have no idea. I don't know when it comes out. You always ask me questions. I don't know that answer. Well, you know what I'm trying to do? I'm trying to promote your stuff. I know. But you don't have any information. It's coming soon. It's a trick question. Stop trying to stop her. I need to be a hater for a minute. I'm gonna be a hater. Uh-oh. A real big hater. Can I read a foul comment from Instagram? Please. You know I live for that. Oh my God. Lauren Patricia 8219 said, How... The full name? How... How long did Cynthia... Lauren Patricia what? Yes! Oh, don't... Oh, it's about me? Lauren Patricia what? Don't... Please don't. I'm sorry, if you were... Cynthia... Wait. Wait a minute. How long did Cynthia bitch about the croissants not being available? Wait, what? I didn't hear it. The croissants. Stop. You're synonymous with croissants. Okay. Why are people so invested in the croissants? It was a whole thing. It was a whole thing. And now the lady broke her ankle. It makes them. It's a whole thing. She was so talented. We're calling bullshit on that. She's had plenty of time to heal. There's also a new manager over there. It's a whole situation. Oh my God. What are the changes? It depends on how old she is. If she's older, you know, it takes longer. She could have osteoporosis. I'm getting let go left and right. They're outsourcing all the stuff. Does serious XM own it? Probably. So the lady that makes croissants. Yes. How long has she been out? Like a month. But the girl that got in the motorcycle accident, she is back to making the cappuccino. We need to hook her up with the stem soap. How is she doing? She had some major injuries. For ankle major. She can't lift anything. All she can do is pull, express her shots. She's slaying. But wait, it's her ankle. There's nothing wrong with her arms and hands. No, no, no. She needs to get back in the kitchen. There was a girl that got in a motorcycle accident. Oh shoot. And then there was the other woman that broke her ankle. These are all the same people at the bakery that he's at. Yeah. And the chef died years ago. Their accident problem. I don't remember that. Yeah, remember when the chef died and they had to like revamp the whole menu? She died, girl. She could documentary. Girl or a guy. I think it was a man. How did he die? Stop making me laugh. I think a heart attack. I remember that one. That place is cursed. I don't want to eat there anymore. This is crazy. I know. Those croissants, I bet you do it now. Don't eat it. It's a sign from God. But they're now outsourcing their croissants because croissant lady has been out on medical leave. Yes. But I think she's milking it. She should have been back by now. I agree. Like one of those little scooters you put your knee on. Of course. Roll in. Absolutely. You guys have no sympathy. It's been a while. Let the lady. It's an ankle. I bet she's sitting home right now just watching Netflix. Watching Price is right. She's probably losing her job. Eating a croissant watching Netflix. No you're not. Then we're fucked. She's making herself croissants at home all the time. We should get her a house. We better not be over there making croissants. Was it a workplace injury? Did she slip at work? Oh, I'll do some research tomorrow. I have no idea. Okay. That's a good question. I hope it wasn't. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So where did you get her croissant today then, Annie? From the outsourced place. No, I would go another place for you. The outsourced ones are terrible. I would never do that to you. I went to another place to get your croissant. Tartine is very good. They have high quality. Well, you're not here. Who feeds you? I mean, it's breakfast. I have a busy day. I got like a whole carpet. Like we got to wrap this thing up in a minute, buddy. I got to go. Okay, you got 15 minutes. Can you hang out 15 more minutes? I have a heart out though. I got to leave right at 10. We know. All right. We're not holding you back. No. All right. So we do need to get her a croissant. I'm going to get her a croissant. I'm going to get her a croissant. I'm going to get her a croissant. I'm going to get her a croissant. I got to leave right at 10. We know. All right. We're not holding you back. No. All right. So we do need to get people signed up for your book signing. Yes. On April 7th, Barnes and Noble. What day is that? It's a Tuesday night, 7 p.m. Barnes and Noble at the Grove, Memoirs of a Gay Shop, preorder it now, or if you're coming to the event, buying the book gets you into the event. So it's April 7th. April 7th. Do I have to buy the book when I get there or before? That I don't know yet, because this all went down yesterday. For a while as I went, and you could buy the book when you got there. Yes. You should do that. You should give them that option. You totally can buy the book when you get there. Okay, but can I ask you, since you already gave me a signed book. Yes. When I go, do I have to buy another book to get in? You are going to be on a VIP list. So I have to buy five books. And you're going to have to pay for drinks after as well. No, no, no. I think we should do drinks before, because it's a school night. Yeah, we should get sloshed before. I just... You should not. Why? I don't even... Hello, I've cut alcohol out since August 8th. Your man has been, I'm always hungry. I'm so hungry. I know. I'm always so hungry. But I look good, so I don't care. No, it's okay. It hit louder than I thought it was going to. But alcohol is more calories than actual food. Totally. That's why you look so like snatch, because you stopped drinking. Thank you. So I'm going to make a 530 reservation. I think that's perfect. Can you do it right now? I mean, remember we tried to do it for 12 people and they split us up with two tables? I know. I had to make a table for six, and then Key made one for six. Do you think we should do two reservations then? Because I feel like there's going to be at least 12 chumps there. Yeah, Key, can you make one? And if there's other chumps that want to go, we'll be at Cheesecake Factory at 530. At the Grove. Right. And then you have to buy a book. Yeah. And then you can enter at 7, Barnes & Noble. How many people can you accommodate there? Hundreds. Oh, good. Okay. Yes, because I'm scared no one's going to show up and I'm going to look like an idiot over there smiling for three people in the audience that I'm related to. No. So to avoid that, please come and support your bitch. Yes. I normally wouldn't go, but you support me in everything I do. True. And it happens to be pretty close to my house. Thank you. So I will be there. And there's a Cheesecake Factory. And so it's like a win-win-win-win-win. Amazing. Do you have to buy a book to get into the event? Yes. If you want to come to the event. No, I mean, I'm sure you're still going to buy one. I'm just saying. You talked about this. Okay. It's early. It's not that early. I just wanted to make sure more like somebody else could have been confused. Okay. No one is confused like you. Thank you. Thank you. Since you clarified it. Okay. But if you have to, we obviously have to make some sort of reservation. Where do we go? Go to BarnesandNoble.com. Or there's a lot of them. Yeah. Just made that up. The Grove. The Barnes & Noble at thegrove.com. Are you sure? Yes. We look it up. Let's sign up right now. I'm going to sign up right now. BarnesandNoble.com. But do we have to make a reservation? No. Just come. You don't need a reservation. No, I'm saying because. No. Come. I think we have to make a reservation. I think it's a good idea to make a reservation. You don't need a reservation. You can come that day. I'm going to be out on the Grove parking lot soliciting people. The off ramp at La Sienica and the 10. Busy. It is so busy. I remember it yesterday. It was just backed up. That's where you should be passing out flyers. I'm going to pass out flyers. I'm going to be circling the block. I'm going to go to the air one across the street. I'm going to do whatever to fill those seats. I don't think you need to. I think through the radio show we should be able to get enough jumps there. It's a Tuesday night. No one wants to be with their kids. I mean even if all the jumps come. Or their partner is doing check-ins. That's like a lot of people. Please don't do a check-in that night, friends. Come to my event. I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there. Please don't do a check-in that night, friends. Come to my event. So if you Google the Grove Barnes & Noble, they have events. I don't see Reza's event posted yet, but they're all the other events. Oh, God, they canceled it. No, it just happened! I don't even say that! You guys, we just... They haven't even signed the contract. This just happened last night. We literally... Okay, so we'll just promote it early. You know how many DMs to up? Shane and I are gonna get now? Stop. We can't find anyone on the Barnes & Noble. We can't find it. Good. Thanks a lot. I'm gonna call them and beg them to put it on their website. Alternatively, you can go on bneventsgrove on Instagram. That's at Barnes & Noble, the Grove Instagram. Oh, my God. Please don't ask us. Just go there. They're gonna ask us. I promise you it's happening. Who's organizing this? No one. My publisher and Barnes & Noble. It sounds like it hasn't even been organized yet. I know. You guys could just ask me yesterday. You guys could just ask me yesterday. What's Jameson's Instagram in case anyone has questions? No, no, no, no, no, no. It's canceled. What is it? It's over. It's not canceled. Don't send me a message. Please. I love you. Don't. If anyone has questions. Yeah, hey, Jameson Scala. It's Lauren Peters 812. Slide it to my DMs. This is a mess. I'll help you out. Go to my, you guys, could we talk about my skin though? Yes. Because I've been doing the Glowissima. Hello, somebody. And I've been hitting the neck. Yes. And I do my SPF. I do the cream. And I do the oil. Yes. I do it in an upward motion. Upward. Upward. That sounds, well, I detected it determined that was a lie. You carry cash in your bag. I did. And the reason is in case of an alien invasion? That was a joke, but I do carry a lot of cash. Do you want a lot of cash? What are you trying to do? No, okay, it's not a lot of cash. Come rob me. But you know how like people don't carry cash anymore? I'm old school and I just always have cash on me, just in case. Like how much? 500,000? No. Couple hundred. Couple hundred. Okay. And I just need to find out, like someone gave me like a bunch of $2 bills and this is so random, but like then my sister said I shouldn't spend them because they're like worth money. So now I'm scared to spend them. So like are they worth anything? Are they just actually $2? They're very rare. So people like hold on to them. So should I save them? No. I would. It's gonna be fun. If people want to buy your trail mix, which comes in like 15 different variations. Yes. Where do people go? The pantry list? The pantry list official.com. And do chumps get a discount? You get 10% off. Yes. So that's good. So you save like a dollar 50, right? Isn't it like 15 bucks? Do you guys take cash? If you come to my door, I'll take care of you. Oh, I have a really important question. Do you have to buy a book to get in on April 7th? Yes. Come to Barnes & Noble at the Grove. Okay. Buy a book. Hang out with me and the chumps. Fine.
