## Summary

Crystal Kung Minkoff has become a friend and regular guest of Jeff Lewis after the pair resolved an earlier public dispute. She says Lewis’s invitation to return to his radio show helped turn an expected one-off reconciliation into a genuine friendship, and describes his “Chumps” as a close-knit, eclectic community.

Kung Minkoff says Lewis pays guests about $500 per appearance, which she sees as a generous way to make them feel part of the team. She also co-hosts the podcast *Humble Brag with Crystal and Cynthia* with Cynthia Bailey; they recently released its 100th episode and hope to involve listeners more in the next hundred.
