A prescription medicine injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Two Teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Ryan Stoneman
Hi guys. Welcome to another episode of two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp.
Benny
And.
Ryan Stoneman
So I'm pretty excited for today because, yes, it's fan Q and A day for the twats.
Benny
Yeah.
Ryan Stoneman
So we're gonna kind of read out. We put something on Instagram, and then we're gonna read out what everybody's questions are and kind of go through them for you guys.
Benny
All right, let's go.
Ryan Stoneman
All right, you want to ask Lisa.
Benny
R. Lisa R. From Rancho Cucamonga. Teddy, how are you and Edwin doing Christmas with your kids? And Tamara, Will you be celebrating O.C. in O.C. or Big Bear? You can go first.
Ryan Stoneman
I think as of now, I mean, the. The kids were with me over Thanksgiving, so technically, Edwin, I, you know, has Christmas, but we're just all gonna be spending it together.
Benny
Can we clear something up?
Ryan Stoneman
Yes.
Benny
All over the Internet, it's Teddi moved in with Kyle.
Ryan Stoneman
I mean, it is such.
Benny
Can you clarify that? It did. It's not like you picked up and you moved in and you left the kids at home. Like, people don't understand and you didn't even say that.
Ryan Stoneman
No, I didn't. I never said that. It was like, so with nesting, it's the kids stay in the house and then the parents come and go so that there's no disruption in the kids lives. Right. So, I mean, maybe two nights a week I would stay, you know, like, maybe like, it really. It's just on the night that I'm not there.
Benny
Yeah, you have to go somewhere.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
So do you think eventually you'll get an apartment?
Ryan Stoneman
Um, I really. I'm truly, like, taking one day at a time. I don't. I don't know. I don't want to make any, like.
Benny
Because this isn't long term sustainable. It's like, until you figure everything out. Right.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. I think, you know, there's a lot of things that need to be figured out, and I don't want to, you know, do any. Make any rash decisions. Like, I would rather just sit in this and.
Benny
Yeah. I've had friends that have done this before, and one friend of mine, they got an apartment, and that apartment was. It was just like really basic and nothing in it, really.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
And then whoever had the kids, who didn't have the kids would go to the apartment. They'd switch off on that apartment until everything was over with and they were able to split assets and buy houses or rent houses or whatever. They did.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. I mean, so, I mean, right now we're both. I mean, everything. I can't really speak.
Benny
Oh, and also, are you dating Kyle? That's.
Ryan Stoneman
Oh, right. That's. That's the other I love that I.
Benny
Have my own questions because I'm like, I get so mad reading all these lies that are out there about you.
Ryan Stoneman
Well, I love that they also put it, like, in quotes. Like, it's like I said, I said it. And also the fact that I've gotten to the place where I'm not even allowed to, like, laugh at myself or make a joke and people clearly take it seriously.
Benny
Yeah.
Ryan Stoneman
Like, if. If I didn't laugh, I would cry, guys. So, like, I have to work, show up for my kids, show up for life. And like, yeah, there are some days I'm going to be sad. There's some days I'm going to be happy. But, like, I have to. I have to laugh at myself or it would be, you know, Teddy, it's.
Benny
Really one of those things. If you don't talk about it, you're hiding something. If you do talk about it, then why are you telling everybody your business? Like, it's a no win situation.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. It's a lose, lose. And, you know, I'm trying my best to, like, protect my family and, and do the best by everybody and also share, like, the parts that I feel like could be helpful, but also helpful to others, but not detrimental to my family.
Benny
Right.
Ryan Stoneman
If you were going to pick an OC housewife to move in with or nest with, who would it be?
Benny
Heather debrow.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. But then you have to drive to la.
Benny
That's all right. I'll use one of her drivers to pick me up.
Ryan Stoneman
Oh, my God.
Benny
Then.
Ryan Stoneman
Oh, are you going to be an OC or Big Bear for Christmas?
Benny
We will be splitting our time so. Because it's so hard to get everybody up to Big Bear because of work schedules and things like that. So we're going to do, like, a little Christmas celebration with family prior to Christmas. Last year, what we did was Christmas Eve we spent at Big Bear because Ryan had Ava on Christmas Eve and then he had to give Ava to Sarah on Christmas Day. So we celebrated, you know, on Christmas Eve, we opened presents and then we drove home the next day. And Spencer was working so he couldn't go Christmas Eve. And then we had Christmas at home. So this year I'm thinking about doing, like, I don't know if I'm gonna do it before Christmas or after, but kind of like maybe like a Christmas New Year's Eve celebration, but not on Christmas or New Year's Eve. That makes sense. Just so everybody can go and enjoy it. Because everybody has families.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
You know, and it's hard, like, you Know with extended family and stuff. So we will be like, we'll all dec. I haven't decorated because we haven't been in Big Bear for a couple weeks. But we're probably going to go up this weekend and decorate and know, do all that fun stuff.
Ryan Stoneman
Oh, that's fun. And then what are our goals for 2025?
Benny
Oh, my goodness. For me, I have set a goal and I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it because I've been having some back problems and hip problems. I want to run a half marathon again. So I always, when I'm always like, have a schedule and a goal, it's always best for my fitness because then in my mind I know, like, there's a date that I have to do it. I just have to amp it up. Like, I've always worked out, but my cardio has not been as strong as it was in the past. So I am running like four miles on the treadmill. Of course.
Ryan Stoneman
Which one are you doing? What date? I would do it with you.
Benny
I know. I want you to do it with me. There's quite a few from Catalina to Napa and all that. So there's quite a few of them and I haven't picked it yet.
Ryan Stoneman
All right, let me know. I would love.
Benny
But I was having back and knee problems running, so I'm like, oh, my God, really?
Ryan Stoneman
How? And this is a PSA for everybody. How often are you changing your sneaker? Because once you start. Once you start running, you need to be changing them like every three months.
Benny
Well, I think that I need to get fitted for better running shoes now that I'm older. Before I could frickin run barefoot. Now it's like my knees are hurting, but I know it's not my knees. I know that my back's out and I have some pinch nerves, which I always have back problems. And I think that's making my knees ache because I can like mess with my knees and hit them. They don't hurt.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
But it's like the nerve. When I start running, I'm like, oh, my God. Just when I was on a good roll too.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
I'm like, I'm just breezing through this. This happens and then I get sick. It's like, shit.
Ryan Stoneman
Well, you know, all in has a marathon training coach.
Benny
Oh, really?
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
So Eddie was a. Eddie was actually a running coach. Um, we had classes at the gym for running.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. So I mean, she really helps, like, she gives you. Just like she helps you train for like whatever it is that you want and gives you the schedule so it makes it best on your body and easy to follow. And she's incredible. I mean, she's run every marathon there is, and that sounds amazing.
Benny
So. Yeah. So 2025 is all going to be about a lot of, like, health and fitness and mental health as well. I'm pending on not drinking in 2025. Let's see if I can stick to it.
Ryan Stoneman
Okay.
Benny
I'm not a huge drinker anyways, but it's like one of those things where, you know, I. If I want a glass of wine, I'll have a glass of wine, but I prefer not to at all. We're coming out with a new CBD THC seltzer. That's 5 milligrams of THC. So I'm super excited about that.
Ryan Stoneman
Oh, a little substitute for alcohol. My goals are, gosh, at this moment.
Benny
Putting one foot in front of the.
Ryan Stoneman
Other, one foot in front of the other, and just really trying to show up with love and surround myself with family and people that I truly care about and just try to work hard and figure out the next stages of life. So I don't want to put too much pressure on, like, giving myself what exactly 2025 needs to look like. I mean, I want to continue building our twats empire, that's for sure.
Benny
Right? Yeah. And that's. That's for me, it was so funny because talking to Emily the other day, and she made a very good point. She's like, at the reunion, people said on our side of the couch was the, you know, the mean, horrible girls that, you know, whatever. And the other side, they're all sweet and princess. I'm like. She goes, but do you know what? Me, you, Heather, we have businesses. We own houses. We are hustlers. We are happily married. And the other side, you have people that don't have any of that, and we're the bad people. So I'm like, you know what, sweetie? I'd rather build my empire, keep moving, keep pushing for my future and my retirement than to be unsettled and unhinged.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah, it's just bananas. Who is the one guest we hope to have on the podcast in 2025?
Benny
Mary Cosby is one of them. We've never had her on the show.
Ryan Stoneman
Oh, I would love to have her on.
Benny
I would love to have Mary. But, you know, I often think, like, even bigger. Like, I'd love to have, like, somebody like Oprah or something like that. Like, somebody big. Barbara, Rihanna, something. Somebody like that.
Ryan Stoneman
I would love to have Rihanna on. All right, then. This next one is from Schmidt to Lisa on Instagram. Tamara, do you regret peeing on the concrete?
Benny
Oh, my God, people. This is such a. Like, no, I don't. This is. People take life way too serious. This was a game. We were playing Truth or dare. Like, literally Jenga style. Jenga style, whatever it is. And so, yes. And if my. My memory is what I think it is, it was grass. Strips of grass on concrete. It's like I just squatted, and you guys didn't even see it. So it's like, big deal. I mean, Emily peed outside of Katie's house because she was drinking in the party van. Like, is it really that big of a deal? Do I go around peeing in people's.
Ryan Stoneman
I've had to pee in a Big Gulp before on a long car ride.
Benny
Yeah. I mean, it's not that big of a deal, people, if you're taking life that serious.
Ryan Stoneman
We're class acts. What can we say?
Benny
It's so classy. I. I don't. I've never said that. I'm so classy. When was the last time I peed like that? Oh, I don't know. A decade?
Ryan Stoneman
Remember when you had your pee funnel that we never used?
Benny
I had a pee funnel? Yeah. I had that in the back of the car, the. When Emily peed on Katie's grass. It's like, God, there's worse things in the world. Like, relax.
Ryan Stoneman
People, like, just laugh or move on or be like. And be done.
Benny
So it's me, Jessica D. On Instagram, as Teddy. Would you ever consider having Tamara recap Beverly Hills with someone else? I get this all the time.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. I mean, I personally, like, if I'm out and somebody else recaps it and they have a different point of view, great. But we recap all the shows, all the Bravo shows that we're not on together.
Benny
I think people are saying because you're. You're so close with Kyle that you're not able to say things you probably would say about other people or, you know, question them. And I get that, like, you have a good friend on the show, but don't worry, I'm here to fill in for those spots.
Ryan Stoneman
Right. Like, don't. You know, I might be a loyal friend, but, yeah, she's a loyal friend.
Benny
And I. I speak my mind, and that's why.
Ryan Stoneman
And we're gonna. No matter what franchise we're recapping, we are going to have different opinions. And, like, if I'm recapping a show from my perspective. I understand you think I'm biased or too kind towards my friends, but these are my actual, real friends, so, I mean, that's how I'm gonna be. And it's the same way I'm gonna be with you too.
Benny
Yeah, I know. I didn't listen to the recap because I just didn't want to get annoyed with you, so it's just better that way.
Ryan Stoneman
Well, dear Sarah, XO asks Tamara, what did you think of Alexis's reunion performance?
Benny
I think you guys all saw that I went into her trailer and told her, you know, don't be John's mouthpiece. Go in there and. And just speak what's on your mind. Not about John. Like, this is your chance to clear things up. Because all season long, even though she talked about other things on the show, the only thing they showed was her sticking up for John. And I think that she could have played that differently. I wish she would have played that differently. It worries me, to be honest. You know, I. I went into the reunion and I played it differently.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
And I think that it would have helped her.
Ryan Stoneman
But where do you stand with her now, by the way? After that final scene at Emily's house.
Benny
She wasn't happy that we filmed that scene, that's for sure. I'm not gonna even try to lie about that. But, you know, this is a job, and this is. Was a scene. Like, I think she wanted me to tell her about it, and I couldn't. You know, once we film stuff, we're not allowed to talk about it, and we're not allowed because it was such a big scene, and there. You know, I think that they might have been afraid that she would get ahead of it or he'd get ahead of it. And I don't feel like it was a scene that was necessarily that bad on John. I felt like it was more damaging to Shannon when people found out that she punched him in the face.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
So I don't know. I. We're. We're good, though. We talked and we talked it through, and she was upset, and I think she kind of felt like it looked like me and Heather turned on her, and that was not the case at all. Yeah, nobody's turned on her at all.
Ryan Stoneman
Well, I. She was. She was hard for me to. To watch.
Benny
She was hard for a lot of people to watch. You know? Would she have done it differently if she could? I don't know. I don't know.
Ryan Stoneman
I don't think so.
Benny
I don't Alexis is somebody that writes really hard for her, man. And I understand where she's coming from. I went through the same thing all season long. You know, she doesn't. She doesn't pander for the audience like some people do.
Ryan Stoneman
Do you think it's that she's not pandering to the audience or she's just really not self aware?
Benny
How do I explain this for somebody that was made out to be a really bad person this season and I'm not? And all I was there. I was only there for Shannon for so many months and years and all this stuff, and all of a sudden I'm being told I'm a toxic friend. And I'm like, oh, that's why I was so angry, you know, could you imagine having a friend for 10 years and being there for them and then finding out that they're saying horrible things about you behind your back? Not about my ego. It wasn't about my ego. It was way deeper than that. And then I made out to be a horrible person because I'm not there for her. Like, yeah, I was there for you. And it was exhausting, exhausting. And then now, you know, you're trying to make me out like I'm the bad person. When they never really dipped into what went down between me and Shannon before we were filming, they never really got into it. And I think it's because of Alexis, because Alexis was there. It overshadowed what Shannon did to me. And then she played victim like she does.
Ryan Stoneman
Right. But I mean, in. In the same token, I think that you could have. You would have handled your delivery differently after watching it back, correct?
Benny
Yeah, I would have, but I had some really bad.
Ryan Stoneman
That's self awareness. That's what I'm.
Benny
Awareness. Pent up anger about being there for somebody that is toxic, that is hard to be around, that does have an issue. And you're there trying and trying and trying. It's an exhausting friendship. And then to have them shitting all over you and talking about you in such a negative way, I don't need that. I don't want that. You know, it was hard. It was very hard for me. And I go over it in my brain a lot, you know, because I was made out to look like this horrible person that didn't give a shit about her. And it's the farthest thing from the truth.
Ryan Stoneman
Welcome to Nada Yada Island.

Do you ever get random skin irritation or breakouts? A lot of people who experience this come to find out it's caused by their laundry detergent.
Ryan Stoneman
My dermatologist said I should try a new detergent, so I switched to Earth Breeze. Their laundry sheets are hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin.
Benny
No harsh chemical residue or artificial dyes, just a clean that's gentle. I noticed a huge improvement after switching. If you got sensitive skin or know someone who does, try Earth Breeze right now.

It's an easy way to protect your skin every time you do laundry. Okay Ryan Stoneman, 83 on Instagram as Teddy what are your thoughts about what Crystal said to us Weekly? That you should Be required to talk about your divorce on Two Teas. Her quote is, I think if Teddy's going to come after somebody, she should open up more. She told Us Weekly. My thing is I don't really care personally, but I. But I don't do that to people. That's unexpected expected of me. I am super honest and open in general.
Ryan Stoneman
Thank you for listening to the podcast, Crystal. Appreciate the listen. I mean, I do open up about it when asked a question. And if you wanna listen to Diamonds in the Rough, Erica and I get more into it in general. I think that.
Benny
I think when she said that it was a little too new, like it just had happened. But also you have opened up since then. Yeah.
Ryan Stoneman
But also give somebody a little bit of time. And what has she opened up about?
Benny
You guys have beef, the two of you?
Ryan Stoneman
I mean, it's whatever. She didn't like that I was recapping the show and giving my opinions. But here's the thing. I love Cynthia and I wish her all the best on the podcast. So humble brag. I wish them. The next one is Tamara asks, what advice would you give yourself if you could redo this past season of oc.
Benny
Well, my advice would be in real life, just stay out of it. Just. I would have stayed out of some of the stuff. But that's not how the show works. And that's not why I'm been on the show for going on 16 years.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
Or 15 years. Or I don't even know how long I've been on 15 years.
Ryan Stoneman
I mean, that's not who you are either. Like you show.
Benny
Yeah, like, you know what, guys, you know, people are never really happy if I'm not speaking my mind, you know. Oh, you're boring if you are speaking your mind. Oh, you're mean. So I am not going to listen to the audience anymore. You beat me down this year. I thought for a second and I wasn't going to go back because of the hate that I was getting that, you know, obviously interferes with my mental health. My. My mental health mostly, but my businesses too.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
So, you know, I thought about. And I thought, you know what? No, you are not winning. You are not winning. I am going to be myself and be who I am. And that's why I am the longest running housewife. Mic drop.
Ryan Stoneman
You asked the next one.
Benny
Okay, Mr. Josh DC on Instagram as Teddy. How do you feel about your name always being brought up on Beverly Hills?
Ryan Stoneman
I mean, I would rather to tease in a pod be brought up than my name, but I think it's. It's clear my name's gonna be brought up because they're my friends.
Benny
Yeah. And you were on it.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. So, I mean, there's always gonna be.
Benny
A random flashback, and there's always gonna.
Ryan Stoneman
Be some random thing that I'm gonna cringe saying. But it is what it is. I don't. I don't really have any.
Benny
When I was off for two years, the first year I was off, oh, my God. They talked about me in every single episode. And they were so. Some of them, like, so mean to me. And I'm like, if you guys didn't want me on the show, like, why are you talking about me? Like, why? Why? It's. It was so annoying. Like, oh, God.
Ryan Stoneman
Then this one is green gal 81 asks, are. Are you and Shannon good now?
Benny
You know what? She asked to hug me at the reunion. I don't know how genuine that is after what she said in the press. I think that when Andy ran, they didn't show it on Bravo, but on Peacock. Andy read our text messages and how much I did care for her and how much I was there for her. And I think she had a moment like, oh, shit, I'm gonna look bad. So she's like, can I give you a hug? Which I thought it was great. I don't want to fight with her. Yeah, I don't want to fight with her, but I want her to take accountability for what she did to me as her best friend. It was very hurtful. It wasn't like I was going in there and being mean. I was. I was hurt. Could you imagine if you heard Kyle was saying horrible things about you, that you're no better than Kelly Dodd, that nobody wanted you back, that you're a piece of shit? Could you imagine hearing those things? No, I totally blindsided. When you're there for all the time and.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah. And talking all the time and all that.
Benny
Yeah, it was really, really hard. So she basically said she was thankful for my support but doesn't want to be friends because it's toxic.
Ryan Stoneman
But then why did she say she wouldn't film with certain people? But then she backtracked on that because it looked bad.
Benny
Do you know how bad that looks for the. At the. You know, the network level to go out there and say, I'm not filming. Look at Jersey prime example. They didn't film with people in. You know, when we've talked about this or Vanderpump rules, they got. They got canceled. So I'm assuming. I don't know, I'm assuming she got a. Somebody spoke to her and said, this is not a good look. To say that you're refusing to film with people is not a good look. I don't know if she's talking about me or she probably was talking about Alexis. She could have been talking about me, but I'm not the toxic one in the friendship. I was the one that was always there for her. So it was just so I thought we were.
Ryan Stoneman
I mean, it's fair to say that you both have had your moments with one another.
Benny
Oh, for sure.
Ryan Stoneman
Yeah.
Benny
I mean, other than being very, very angry with her this season for, you know, the things that were said off camera that were never really discussed, I've been nothing but a really good friend to her. Really good. It's exhausting.
Ryan Stoneman
What is it Leanne Lockin said? My panty liner is tired.
Benny
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So I hope. I mean, I. You know, the whole show is about conflict and resolution and I'm not really one that holds a grudge. And I do care about her. Of course I care about her. I love her. I've been friends with her for so long and, you know, to say something like that doesn't look like she's really wanting to move forward. So. I don't know. We have a holiday lunch coming up with most of the cast, not all of them. And we'll see, you know, how she acts. I'll be more than happy to talk to her.
Ryan Stoneman
And let me guess who's not invited from the cast and blink if I'm correct.
Benny
Okay.
Ryan Stoneman
Katie and Alexis. More Katie, Alexis and Jen. Is that it?
Benny

Botox is a prescription medicine injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Introduction
In the festive episode titled A Very Two Ts Holiday Q&A, hosts Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge engage their audience with a heartfelt and candid question-and-answer session. The episode, released on December 16, 2024, delves into personal updates, addresses rumors, and sets the stage for the hosts' aspirations for the upcoming year. Throughout the discussion, Teddi and Tamra maintain their signature blend of humor and honesty, creating an engaging experience for both longtime listeners and newcomers.
Holiday Plans and Family Life
The episode kicks off with listeners' inquiries about the hosts' holiday plans. A question from Lisa R. in Rancho Cucamonga prompts Ryan Stoneman (representing Teddi) to share their Christmas arrangements:
"The kids were with me over Thanksgiving, so technically, Edwin, I, you know, has Christmas, but we're just all gonna be spending it together." ([02:50])
Tamra expands on her plans, revealing the challenges of coordinating family schedules:
"We will be splitting our time so. Because it's so hard to get everybody up to Big Bear because of work schedules and things like that. So we're going to do, like, a little Christmas celebration with family prior to Christmas." ([06:42])
Their approach emphasizes flexibility and inclusivity, ensuring that all family members can partake in the festivities without undue stress.
Addressing Personal Life Rumors
A significant portion of the Q&A addresses circulating rumors about Teddi moving in with Kyle. Ryan clarifies the situation to quell misunderstandings:
"Can you clarify that? It did. It's not like you picked up and you moved in and you left the kids at home... people don't understand and you didn't even say that." ([03:21])
He further explains the concept of "nesting," where parents maintain separate residences to minimize disruptions in their children's lives:
"With nesting, it's the kids stay in the house and then the parents come and go so that there's no disruption in the kids' lives." ([03:38])
This transparent communication aims to correct false narratives and present a more accurate picture of their living arrangements.
Goals and Aspirations for 2025
The hosts share their personal and professional goals for the coming year, revealing a strong focus on health, fitness, and business growth.
Benny (representing Tamra) discusses her fitness ambitions:
"I want to run a half marathon again... I'm running like four miles on the treadmill." ([07:58])
Ryan expresses his commitment to personal well-being and expanding their podcasting endeavors:
"Just really trying to show up with love and surround myself with family and people that I truly care about and just try to work hard and figure out the next stages of life." ([08:46])
Tamra also touches on mental health and new product ventures:
"We're coming out with a new CBD THC seltzer... I'm super excited about that." ([10:13])
These goals highlight their dedication to self-improvement and entrepreneurial spirit.
Engaging with Viewer Questions
The Q&A segment features a variety of viewer-submitted questions, allowing Teddi and Tamra to connect directly with their audience.
Recapping Beverly Hills with Others: A listener named Jessica D. inquires if Tamra would consider recapping Beverly Hills with someone else. Benny responds thoughtfully:
"I think people are saying because you're so close with Kyle that you're not able to say things you probably would say about other people... don't worry, I'm here to fill in for those spots." ([14:16])
Ryan adds:
"No matter what franchise we're recapping, we are going to have different opinions... these are my actual, real friends, so that's how I'm gonna be." ([15:01])
This exchange underscores their commitment to authenticity and diverse perspectives in their content.
Handling Negative Feedback: A question from Crystal urges Teddi to open up more about her divorce on the podcast. Benny addresses this by asserting her honesty while maintaining personal boundaries:
"I do open up about it when asked a question... When I was off for two years, the first year I was off, oh my God. They talked about me in every single episode." ([22:26])
Ryan empathizes, sharing his own struggles with public scrutiny:
"If I didn't laugh, I would cry, guys." ([05:36])
Their responses highlight the delicate balance between personal privacy and audience expectations.
Navigating Relationships within The Real Housewives Community
A recurring theme in the episode is the intricate dynamics between housewives, particularly focusing on past conflicts and reconciliations.
Conflict with Alexis: Benny recounts her interactions with Alexis, emphasizing the hurt caused by public misunderstandings:
"I went into the reunion and played it differently... It was more damaging to Shannon when people found out that she punched him in the face." ([16:17])
Reconciliation Efforts: Addressing questions about her relationship with Shannon, Benny expresses a desire for mutual accountability:
"She was upset, and I think she kind of felt like it looked like me and Heather turned on her, and that was not the case at all." ([17:29])
Ryan supports the notion of moving forward despite past tensions:
"She was hard for a lot of people to watch... I don't think she would have handled it differently after watching it back." ([17:35])
These discussions reveal their intent to mend fences and foster healthier relationships within the community.
Personal Growth and Authenticity
Throughout the episode, both hosts emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself amidst external pressures.
Benny reflects on maintaining her authenticity despite negative feedback:
"I thought, no, you are not winning. I am going to be myself and be who I am. And that's why I am the longest running housewife." ([24:19])
Ryan echoes this sentiment by focusing on personal well-being and surrounding himself with supportive individuals:
"Put one foot in front of the other... try to work hard and figure out the next stages of life." ([08:47])
Their candid admissions encourage listeners to prioritize genuine self-expression over conforming to others' expectations.
