In this episode, I break down my wild weekend at ChumpCon — the one-of-a-kind convention for fans of Jeff Lewis Live. If you don’t know, Jeff’s built an entire world on SiriusXM full of hilarious personalities, real talk, and the most loyal fanbase you’ve ever seen. I’ve become a part of that world, and this con was next level.I explain what made ChumpCon so different from every other convention I’ve done — from the intimate poolside hangs and late-night karaoke sessions to the nonstop love from fans who actually know who you are now, not just what you did 25 years ago. I’m comparing it all: the con circuit, the transactional Hollywood hustle, and why ChumpCon felt like adult summer camp with zero weird vibes and 100% trust. It’s a vibe you’ve got to hear to believe.⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jamiekennedyTour Dates & Tickets: https://jamiekennedy.com/pages/tour-datesMerch: https://jamiekennedy.com/collections/merchSubscribe for more: https://bit.ly/HateToBreakItToYaYT⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Discussed in This Episode00:00 – Why ChumpCon hit different03:00 – The evolution of cons after COVID and Hollywood’s decline05:40 – Breaking down the different types of pop culture conventions08:30 – The “transactional” nature of regular cons13:00 – Why Jamie doesn’t take a guarantee anymore14:20 – What made ChumpCon feel intimate and curated18:45 – How merch and access worked at Jeff’s con20:50 – Exclusive parties, open bars, and no awkward vibes26:15 – Singing karaoke and doing duets with fans29:00 – Hanging out poolside with chumps and sharing stories32:10 – Physical comfort and trust: no weird con energy here34:00 – Why Jeff’s live show format just works36:00 – Chaos at the after party (in the best way)38:15 – Brunch with Carnie Wilson and the true ChumpCon moment42:00 – The difference between zoo animal cons and intimate experiences45:00 – Gratitude for Jeff, his team, and being treated like royalty⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻Follow Me:https://www.jamiekennedy.comhttps://www.instagram.com/thejamiekennedyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@jamiekennedycomedyhttps://twitter.com/JamieKennedyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 201 The Decline of Beverly Hills, Forgotten Sound Frequencies, and Elon Musk Criticism
In this solo episode, I dive into some of the wildest clips I’ve seen lately — from ancient sound frequencies and conspiracy-laced vibrations to why Beverly Hills is starting to feel like a ghost town. Then it gets real: I react to the latest backlash around Elon Musk, break down why people might actually be mad about him exposing government waste, and share a few thoughts on Gavin Newsom, Tesla haters, and the state of woke culture. It’s a little ranty, a little funny, and all facts (as I see 'em). Let’s get into it._________________________________Follow Me:🌎 Website: https://www.jamiekennedy.com🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamiekennedy📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejamiekennedy🎭 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamiekennedy🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejamiekennedy_________________________________Mentioned in Episode:🔗 https://youtu.be/5rCu9X91FiQ?si=fFqABSvpqu6INwUV_________________________________🔥 Join my Patreon for exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/jamiekennedy🎤 See me on tour: https://www.jamiekennedy.com/tour🛍️ Get my merch: https://jamiekennedy.com/merch🎧 Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@UCRa_apFU5i9Ciy4VsHkiHUQAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep. 200 Chrissie Mayr Goes Hard In the Paint
In this episode, I sit down with comedian and commentator Chrissie Mayr for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious and brutally honest. We talk about everything from motherhood and media censorship to Hollywood’s collapse and how podcasting has become the last real frontier for free speech. Chrissie opens up about her journey from stand-up stages to becoming a “crunchy mom,” why she questions mainstream narratives, and what it really means to live outside the system. It's raw, real, and definitely not for the faint of heartAbout Chrissie:Chrissie Mayr is a comedian, podcaster, and social commentator known for her bold takes and unapologetic humor. A regular on the New York comedy scene, she’s also made waves online with her hit podcast The Chrissie Mayr Podcast, where she interviews everyone from comics to cultural critics.
