ChumpCon Las Vegas Recap | Ep 201 Hate To Break It To Ya w Jamie Kennedy
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.
