Meghan King, Crystal Minkoff, & Doug Budin: Disaster Dates & Freeways

Doug Budin (0:00)

When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.

Jeff Lewis (0:03)

It just feels good to be petty. I feel like I'm back to being me. I don't mind being a dick, if you can just justify it. I don't know who's crazier, probably me.

Doug Budin (0:12)

I'm happy you said it before I did.

SPEAKER_3 (0:14)

Jeff Lewis Has Issues.

Jeff Lewis (0:17)

Hey, welcome to Jeff Lewis Has Issues. In today's episode, Meghan King, Crystal Minkoff and Doug Budin join the show from New York City. We talk about disaster dates, smelly employees and freeways.

Meghan, it's been so long. It's so great to see you. Crystal, I saw you last night.

Crystal Minkoff (0:33)

You're welcome.

Jeff Lewis (0:35)

Oh my God. What's new?

Meghan King (0:37)

I live here in New York now. You do? That's new.

Crystal Minkoff (0:40)

Doesn't she look like a New Yorker?

Meghan King (0:41)

Oh, thanks.

Shane Douglas (0:42)

You fit right in.

Meghan King (0:42)

Yeah. Thanks, guys. You look great. I feel good here.

Jeff Lewis (0:45)

Well, I heard that.

So I've seen pictures of you. I'm like, God, she looks really good. But then I heard you did a little tuck.

Meghan King (0:53)

On my eyes. Yes. Upper eyes. It looks so good.

Thanks. And I gained some weight, too. So it's like natural plumping.

Jeff Lewis (1:01)

I can't even tell you. You do not gain weight.

Meghan King (1:03)

What? A pound.

That pound looks great.

Crystal Minkoff (1:06)

By the way, we were totally vibing downstairs, and now I hate you.

Meghan King (1:10)

Stop.

Crystal Minkoff (1:12)

You've gained weight.

Meghan King (1:12)

All right. I'm happy.

SPEAKER_3 (1:14)

It's fun to gain weight, and it looks good.

Meghan King (1:16)

That's something to celebrate.

Crystal Minkoff (1:17)

Yes. You look great.

Jeff Lewis (1:18)

So you know why Ty didn't eat last night at dinner?

Crystal Minkoff (1:21)

No.

Jeff Lewis (1:22)

Because he's taking this coffee that all of my housekeepers are taking. It's called Sculpt.

Crystal Minkoff (1:28)

Okay.

Jeff Lewis (1:29)

And so it's a little packet. It's like a coffee. You know, you do hot, you put it in hot water and it's an appetite suppressant. He gave it to me yesterday. Tell me if it worked. I had a big plate of watermelon, banana, avocado, half a bagel, a sprinkle cookie.

Then I had caviar, a lot of it.

SPEAKER_3 (1:51)

A lot.

Jeff Lewis (1:52)

Then I had-

Shane Douglas (1:53)

And to six caviar stuffed olives with the caviar, with the martinis.

SPEAKER_3 (1:58)

Right.

Jeff Lewis (1:58)

Then I met Crystal for dinner, family dinner, and then I had a piece of chicken parm pizza.

Shane Douglas (2:06)

You skipped all the appetizers and the Caesar salad.

Doug Budin (2:08)

We had meatballs, Caesar, whipped ricotta, cacio e pepe.

Jeff Lewis (2:14)

There was a truffle pasta I tried, there was a lobster pasta. It's not working.

Doug Budin (2:17)

And a pork chop.

Crystal Minkoff (2:19)

I would definitely say it did not seem like you had any kind of appetizer present. But I looked over at Ty, literally, it wasn't even like pretending to eat.

Shane Douglas (2:27)

No, like there was more food on the table than the last supper, and Ty's plate was clean.

Meghan King (2:31)

Clean. Ty had one oyster.

Jeff Lewis (2:33)

One oyster.

Crystal Minkoff (2:34)

That's what he had.

Meghan King (2:35)

How is one coffee in the morning, I'm assuming, how is that supposed to suppress your appetite all day long? It did. Can I tell you?

SPEAKER_3 (2:42)

Well, we gotta sell this product.

Jeff Lewis (2:43)

Meghan, two days he took it, two days. So then I say to him, well, you gotta eat something. He's like, yeah, he goes, I'm not gonna be able to take that coffee today. He goes, cause I'm just not hungry. So he takes two packets, doesn't eat for two days. I take one packet, I eat worse than normal.

Meghan King (3:00)

I wanna try it.

Shane Douglas (3:01)

I think it's like Santa where you have to believe in it for it to work.

Meghan King (3:04)

Exactly.

Crystal Minkoff (3:05)

What is this miracle coffee?

Shane Douglas (3:06)

All the housekeepers are doing it.

Crystal Minkoff (3:08)

One must clean hands.

Meghan King (3:09)

All the housekeepers in Hancock House. I need it.

Crystal Minkoff (3:11)

I mean.

Meghan King (3:12)

They're all so skinny.

SPEAKER_3 (3:14)

They're all so skinny.

Jeff Lewis (3:18)

So you're living here. Are you selling real estate?

Meghan King (3:20)

Yes, residential real estate here.

Jeff Lewis (3:22)

How's it going?
