Two teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[A]

Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of Two Teas in a Pod with Myself, Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[B]

Hi, Teddy.

[A]

Hi, babes. We're here to recap the Valley season two, part three, which there could have been just a part two, I think.

[B]

Bye, Jax.

[A]

I was about to say. And then Jax was never seen again.

[B]

Is it weird that he knew at that reunion he wouldn't be back?

[A]

He just kind of gave up by the end.

[B]

Well, he kind of did give up on this episode. This, like, the third episode. He barely talked. Yep. Huh. Yeah.

[A]

I'm horrible. Well, I love that he never watched or anything like that, like, but do you.

[B]

But somebody like him that is in comment sections using a burner account is not watching himself on tv.

[A]

Oh, because I believed it. Because Andy believed it. Because Andy was like, oh, yeah, you never watch.

[B]

I. I'm not buying it. I think that just Andy pronounced his burner account wrong. And Jack's like, huh? Huh? Oh, that's not how you say it.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Well, before. Are you platinum? I'm platinum.

[B]

When did you do that?

[A]

Well, I was platinum before, and then I just put the pink over it, and then it kind of washes.

[B]

I'm going to tell you what I told Sofia. Leave your hair alone.

[A]

Listen, when the hair grows out and there's black roots with pink and bleach, like, I got to do something.

[B]

So you're always going to be a blonde. I'm like, this is a perfect time for you to let your hair get so healthy and grow out.

[A]

And, yeah, you know, nothing I love more than to be a mousy brunette.

[B]

So. So I told you, Sophia. You might have seen Sophia cut her hair. Little pixie cut herself, which, I mean, I'm impressed that she did that. And then a week later, she's like, mom, I don't think I like it. And I'm like, mom to the rescue. Ding, ding, ding. Hey, Michelle, can You come over and put in some of those amazing main babe extensions that are so flat to your head on Sophia's hair. And she's like, yeah. So she just kind of gave her some wispy down to her shoulders.

[A]

Oh, that's cute. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's a new pick. I will. Yeah. No, everything's around here has been. Okay, if you guys can hear me, a little twitchy or shaky today. I apologize. I. A lot of people asked did I have to do another round of immunotherapy? And I did.

[B]

What. What justifies having to do another round when they stop it? And then you. You're normally once a month, so this time we are. You were trying to stretch it out.

[A]

Only I'm. Once every three weeks.

[B]

Oh, three weeks. I thought it was four weeks now.

[A]

Now. Now it's switched to once every four weeks. But this time we were maybe gonna skip it, but then I went in and got my blood work done, and my blood work said I was strong enough to do another round. So I'm doing another round. I did another round, and I'm on, like, that prime day of feeling yucky post doing it. But I have to say, I mean, I don't know if you know much about this story, but the Brandon Blackstock story really hit me hard this week. That's Kelly Clarkson's excess.

[B]

I had a feeling that was going to.

[A]

I wish I would have missed that little detail on the World Wide Web, because then I started doing research, and they were so quiet about what? Ex. I mean, we know he passed from melanoma.

[B]

They announced that, but we don't know anything more than that. Right? Because I. When I saw that. And then the first time, the first day it broke, it just said melanoma. And then a story came out a couple days ago saying, breaking news, all the details, it still just doesn't give. It doesn't give. I mean, we're assuming that it had metastasized.

[A]

I'm. That's what I was. I was wondering. One, did it metastasize? Two, like, this is just where my head goes from being in the situation. Did you decline treatment? Three, you know, like, there's so many different ways that this could have happened, and, like, I 1 million respect their choice. Keeping it private.

[B]

Maybe you can reach out to Kelly Clarkson.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

And just say, like, you know, for my own. Like, I. Or maybe not. Maybe just not every. You have to understand, everybody's different. Everybody. Like, maybe he did treatment. Maybe he didn't do treatment.

[A]

You know, maybe he didn't mean a therapy, maybe he did chemotherapy. We don't know.

[B]

You don't know.

[A]

But those kind of stories hit you hard, you know, when it comes directly sound similar to something that you're going through.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

So that was a little bit of like this week it kind of hit me.

[B]

It hit me too, to be honest with you. I mean I had some talks about it and you know, when I listened to it was a three year battle. Then, you know, my head starts going places and I want to know more and there really isn't any more than that.

[A]

That's all we've got. And you know, I think Kelly made it clear when she was, she didn't cancel. It's what I rescheduled the end of her tour in Vegas and I think that's what I read because she needs to be there for her, for her kids.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

The first leg.

[B]

I mean some of the comments under that were so brutal. I'm like, do better Instagram. What is wrong with people? Yeah. Like honestly like saying, oh good, now you don't have to pay them. I'm like, what? The father of her kids?

[A]

And that's the last thing that I think she's worried about. It's like, you want to support your children and, and that's what I think that we do have to. When it comes to illness, no matter what kind, mental or physical. Yeah. We have to be so careful because you just don't know the person that could take something the wrong way.

[B]

Yeah. I mean even, you know, my strained relationship with Simon, when he was diagnosed with cancer, he sat down with me and he told me everything. And you know me, I took the kids full time at that time because he couldn't care for them. And we would go over there and drop off food and do whatever we could and he wasn't like my favorite person in the world. You know what I mean? Like did a horrible things to me, but it's a father of my kids. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

And at the end of the day, it's what is best for your kids.

[B]

Yes, absolutely.

[A]

But yeah, so that's, I did another round. I'm going to go to a neurologist and try to find out, get my medications in order. Like essentially I'm doing all the follow up type appointments because I want to be able to feel a shift in my day to day life. Like my quality of life. Well, I want to get better, your.

[B]

Quality of life to be much better. And on day to day, like after immunotherapy how are you physically feeling? I know it's not good, but what is it? Is it. You're nauseous, you're achy, you're tired.

[A]

It feels like you're having an anxiety attack, but with exhaustion, like today I was like, maybe I'll help myself. I'm gonna go on a little walk. And when I say little, I. I think I went 14 minutes, and then I got off and I was shaking and. Yeah, like, shaking. Like, not. It didn't. It didn't do. It didn't hit the way a workout used to hit. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I think, you know, I just. There's so many new normals and so many things to figure out. I don't want to. I know, don't. I don't want to bring it down, but I also know a lot of people are asking, so if you have somebody that's having highs and lows, and also it's not to be forgotten or overlooked that it's the last two weeks of the kids not being in school. So everybody gets a little stir crazy during this time because camps are over, everybody's home. You're trying to keep everybody happy, and it's pretty impossible.

[B]

Yeah. And you have the kids 50 of the time.

[A]

Right. Well, I mean, it's now like. I mean, I. I'm always with them. Edwin comes and goes, but, you know, I have somebody that lives in with us that helps me. Yeah. And then Edwin comes and goes and he'll take the kids to practices and things like that because I still can't drive.

[B]

Yeah, so. Well, girl, I've seen you drive. I don't think you should drive.

[A]

I mean, you haven't seen me drive since this happened. True.

[B]

I'm wondering. I saw you drive prior. I was on the phone when you hit the curb that one day. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, did I hit something? Oh, there's lights going off in my car.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Well, any who let's get into the Valley.

[B]

It's not your strong suit.

[A]

Driving is not my strong suit, but okay. The episode starts. It opens with Jason calling Danny a clown. Janet said that until this behavior stops, she doesn't feel bad asking about it because Danny has done the same to multiple women. Nia asks who. Then Michelle reveals that Britney felt uncomfortable around Danny on her birthday. Brittany says Danny was following her around, but that he never touched her.

[B]

Do you think. Do you. Sorry. Do you think where there's smoke, there's fire with Danny, or do you think it's one of those situations where we've exhausted the Jack stuff. This is all we have.

[A]

Well, I think if you're going to accuse someone of sexual assault, as you call it, Janet, you're going to need to give us specific examples.

[B]

Yes, we need people to stand up, because those are very, very strong words.

[A]

Well, because then Jason asked Danny if he thinks he has a drinking problem. Danny says no, and that he hasn't had a drink in weeks. Jason then claims that everyone on the stage has an issue with alcohol.

[B]

Just everyone. Go speak for yourself. Yeah.

[A]

I'm like, oh, you think even your wife has a drinking problem?

[B]

And then Jason's like, well, everyone but Andy. Jason was getting on my last nerve.

[A]

Oh, Jason was too much. But Jason, as a lawyer, you have to learn not to speak in absolutes.

[B]

Well, you think he would know?

[A]

One would think he would know, but he didn't. He went hard for it. But, oh, my gosh, like Kristin said.

[B]

It'S a very bold statement. Very bold.

[A]

Would it completely shock me to think that Danny's the type that when he drinks too much, he's one of those that, like, kind of follows people?

[B]

He's male and female.

[A]

No, I don't. I think he's just kind of like, you know, never wanting to be the life of the party guy.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I could see that.

[A]

You know what I mean? So it's whether it's a guy, it's a girl, it's. He's just wanting to be in the mix.

[B]

Yeah, I could see that.

[A]

But I don't. I don't know.

[B]

I just think it's sad to be labeled as that. And then didn't she say something even worse, like, what do you want me to call it? Did she use like.

[A]

Oh, yeah. She worse Weaponizing words?

[B]

Yeah, that I don't even want to say here.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I have to put you on to these leggings I've been obsessed with lately. They're from this brand called Tona. And get this. The designer behind them also created Lululemon, so they know what they're doing. These leggings are next level. Think buttery, soft, super flattering, and very comfortable. Also, they're supportive in all the right places. I started wearing them for my morning workouts, but now I'm basically living in them. And here's what makes them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a mental health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's on a mission to end teen suicide and self harm, which we think is so important and incredible.

[A]

Here's the thing about being a great gift giver. When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list, you almost don't want to give it away.

[B]

That's what happened with my Quints order. Everything so soft and well made I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.

[A]

Quint pretty much has your whole list covered. Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50 when you'd normally pay $200 or more than the kind you'll wear on repeat.

[B]

Then there's the denim that goes with everything. Silk tops and skirts for when you need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually keep you warm.

[A]

The Italian wool coats absolute top of my list. They look designer and are made with premium materials. But like everything at Quint's, the price won't make you panic. We're talking way less than other brands charge.

[B]

By working directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices, and by cutting out the middleman and markups, Quince is able to pass those savings straight to you.

[A]

I can't tell you how much I'm loving my new cashmere sweater. I will be wearing it a lot this holiday season and getting one for my daughter. Slate. Find gifts so good you'll want to keep them with Quince.

Before all of the algorithm fed Bala and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Podlings. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay it's not just shopping. It's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I recently found a dress I had been looking for since I was 19. I saw it on a TV show and I swear it called out to me. And it has been something I have come back to time and time again. I have searched everywhere, every single secondhand store until finally I found it in my size on ebay. It's about the thrill of finding pieces just like that. And I want you to find pieces that feel like you as well. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity Guarantee. Ebay Things people love. Andy brings up rumors that Jasmine started about Jason taking his ring off at bar. And then Jasmine says she definitely did not make it up, but maybe she should not have spoken about it when she was frustrated. And then Andy brings up the ring, tattoos. This whole tattoo thing to me, why.

[B]

Don'T I remember the tattoos? I think the tattoo episode was when I was maybe in New York and I didn't watch that episode. And you recapped with Dolores because I do not remember that.

[A]

Well, essentially nobody really made a big deal about him taking his ring off. And then they went.

[B]

So they were making a bigger deal out of it than.

[A]

Than it was because then they went and got the ring tattoo. But I've got to say, if you're willing to take your ring off or not take your ring off or if you have a ring tattoo on your finger, I don't think either deters somebody from being a cheater or not being a cheater.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

No one cares.

[B]

I mean, Eddie takes his ring off when he works out, picks up, puts in the console. Works out.

[A]

Yeah. Then he meets me in the parking lot.

[B]

Yeah, they meet you in the parking lot. They meet some hot shit. Well, I'm usually we work work out together, so it's kind of difficult. Some hot chicks like, hey, dude, you single? No ring on.

[A]

No one says that.

[B]

Nobody.

[A]

And I don't think anyone's saying it to Jason either. No, I love that Kristen's like, no one cares.

[B]

Not a person. I am obsessed with her. Just the way she talks and puts it out there and she's like, listen, no lies told. I just speak the truth. And if you don't like it, too bad. And then Andy, who here thinks Janet is a Karen.

[A]

I'm like, the only person that I think didn't, didn't was Michelle. Jasmine thought Janet was giving Karen energy, which apparently is very different from being a Karen. And Jason thinks that Kristen manipulated the girls to team up against her. Zach is too spot on and funny to be stuck at the end of that long ass couch.

[B]

That couch is probably the biggest couch I've ever seen in my life. When they pan out, you really get a, you know, good look at it and you're like, that thing looks like it's 40ft on each side.

[A]

I need that couch.

[B]

Where are you gonna put it? I mean, your house is big, but could you imagine?

[A]

Yeah. But then he clocked that Janet and Jason went home and Realized they could make a story out of the ring rumor and then bring it back the next day. I was like, get it, Zach? Zach's wanting to be in production as well, but it kind of made me laugh. And also when Jasmine kept saying, okay, well, then let's see the flashback. And Jasmine's like, okay, let's find. And Janet's like, no, no, I want to see the flashback. And then the flashback did not show Janet saying anything. And then Andy talks about the night they all rebranded Jax's bar into Brit's bar. Jax says it was hurtful, but he understands why they didn't. At this point, Jax is chill. Jax.

[B]

Jax in his suit that's so damn tight. I just keep looking. I'm like, it looks uncomfortable, dude. Like, he's sitting next to. Who was it Jesse? Who's like, is he the one that had the white jacket on? That's all nice.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Jesse wanted to let me know that even though he had said and I had said that he wore very expensive pants, that they were, in fact, not. He was given three options of pants to wear, and they were all polyester. From who? I don't know. I think they must have brought it.

[B]

Fire the stylist, because Bravo ain't dressing you. It's gotta be a stylist that you hired. But his suit is so freaking. I mean, look in the mirror, dude. Like, it is so tight. He's like this. It's like a sausage in the suit. He can't move his arms.

[A]

I don't think it's even. Look in the mirror. It's just feel. You've got to feel it. I would be pitting out like a crazy person wearing that tight of a light blue suit.

[B]

I know, it's way too tight.

[A]

Then Kristen adds that Brittany did so much for the bar and got no credit. Brittany says, including putting more money into it than Jax.

[B]

And do you think they put any money into it at all?

[A]

I. Hopefully they were just given money. Jack says that Zach isn't even allowed into his bar.

[B]

I don't think I would take that as a compliment since it's not even his bar anymore.

[A]

Well, Jax will never forgive Zach for.

[B]

Not wear that as.

[A]

Not the. Not the last 30 days. Dig.

[B]

Wear it as a badge of honor. Not allowed in Jack's bar. Let's make T shirts.

[A]

Oh, my God. Then Andy brings up Frank, and I love how he's like, dramon, Dramon, Frank Drummond.

[B]

And Jax is like, huh? Huh, what?

[A]

And then they're all like, dream and dream and. But this is why I think he really doesn't watch the show because all of them had the same realization of he doesn't realize that his, you know, burner phone came as a part of the storyline. Yeah. Well, that's why Jax is so confused. But then Jax, I find it so.

[B]

Hard to believe he was taking everything well. But I find it very hard to believe that, you know, like, he didn't know. Like, he didn't watch a show and he didn't know. He's like, huh? What, Frank? What? Oh, my burner account. Yeah.

[A]

Like, dude, I think he was trying to just be like, funny, chill, laid back. Meanwhile, his temperature was like 212 degrees.

[B]

He's turning red. He looks like he's sweating.

[A]

He's like, Mr. Point.

[B]

He's like, get me through this because obviously I've been told I'm not coming back.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Well, then Luke talks about the moment he knew that Kristen was the one. Kristen talks about the proposal and how she was definitely surprised. And he points out that Britney felt left out of the proposal. Luke explains that the reason he didn't include her was because they were scared she was going to share something with Jax, which she did.

[B]

She did. Totally understandable. As soon as it happens, she calls Jax, which is so weird because she makes it out to be like their relationship is so strained and why would you just be like having a normal conversation?

[A]

Codependency. That's why. Codependency.

[B]

So I feel like there's more to this relationship in this toxicity between the two of them that we don't know about because why have just like, hey, guess what? Like, that doesn't make any sense.

[A]

I think they're addicted to each other. I think it. It's a long time. You know, you can start to even see their eyes soften towards each other. Like, I think it's really.

[B]

There was a mo. They had a moment.

[A]

I know at a moment.

[B]

And Brittany just looked beautiful.

[A]

She did look beautiful.

[B]

Absolutely beautiful.

[A]

Then Andy mentions that Kristen called Janet a fan this season. And then Kristin familiar has an alter ego when she's on camera. I don't know Janet very well, but when she said they all thought that I had good as gold posters all over my wall fan curling, I was like, the fact that you could just pull that song out of shows me you've watched a touch of reality tell on that show.

[B]

I mean, this is a very familiar story to me. But when someone's reaching out to cast members and dming Them and trying to get in the mix and going to where they're at to meet. Like, a lot of times there's an ulterior motive.

[A]

Like if I was moved into the Quiet Woman and just had, like, just.

[B]

Lived there, just waiting for Shannon to show up. Hey, Shannon. I live. I'm new to your area, and I just thought that maybe I could meet you here.

[A]

I just rented a booth for the month just in case somebody was to come.

[B]

You want to go to lunch?

[A]

Then they talk about the moment Janet claimed Danny sexually assaulted someone on the boat.

[B]

I hate when they keep saying sexually assaulted.

[A]

And then Janet keeps saying, oh, I'm just using the legal term. Well, you're not a lawyer, so.

[B]

Yeah, thank you.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

But your husband is, and he might highly advise you against it.

[A]

Yeah. And then Jasmine said she's only having side conversations with Zach over the SA rather than speaking up and shutting the conversation down because that felt weird. I think that there's something that drives them all nuts about Dani, and they're not just admitting what it is, and they're just giving us all a bunch of word salad.

[B]

Was it his role on Zach and Cody or whatever.

[A]

The sweet life.

[B]

Sweet life. You know what? I did realize? Janet is very good at deflecting. When she gets called out, her first instinct is to not take accountability, but to turn it around on somebody else. So when they, you know, accuse her, like, saying those words are horrible and. Oh, yeah, well, calling your wife whore is too.

[A]

Well, I have a question. Who do you think would win in a deflect off between you and Janet?

[B]

I don't deflect. I owned. Like, I can't. That's a talent to be able to do that. That's a real talent. Like, I'll own. Yeah, I did. And I'll take accountability when things are thrown my way. If I did something or if I called somebody something.

[A]

But you don't think you could be quick to. I'm trying to think like.

[B]

I mean, my mind doesn't work like that. My mind. I'm just. I do. I don't operate like that. I usually. Because I feel like that's like trying to dance around the actual question.

[A]

True.

Then Andy brings up the rift between Janny and Jax. Jax stopped inviting Danny to things. Danny thinks it's so Jack could talk about him. Andy brings up the rumor that Danny made up about Jax sleeping with his staff. Jax denies it. Nobody seems to believe him. So then they bring in Luke. Luke says he one time brought a lady who says lady friend these days.

[B]

Lady friend.

[A]

I brought a lady friend in.

[B]

Brought a lady friend in. I mean, I believe Jax doesn't sleep with his staff as bad as much as I believe Donald Trump is not on the Epstein list. Honestly. Just gonna throw that out there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, it's Jax. Let's be honest. It's his lady friends.

[A]

Then I also. My empathy went right down the toilet, as you know, because I'm just exuding it constantly. When we learned that Jesse's girlfriend came to Michelle's in party.

[B]

Oh, Andy. Did you see the, the. How annoyed Andy was with that?

[A]

Yes. You can't say you don't want a part of it. And you go to the full cast party.

[B]

Yeah. And. And Jesse, like, he was just taking it. He's like.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And everybody in the cast is like, this is your girlfriend. I feel like he might not be back next year.

[A]

I feel like Jesse and Michelle both might not be back.

[B]

Yeah. I'm feeling that. I was going to ask you at the end of this what your final thoughts were about the cast. But, you know, Andy's like, I'd slap a mic on her and I'd start talking to her.

[A]

Yeah. The only way that Jesse's coming back next season is if so is his new girlfriend. Yeah.

[B]

And I, I don't know why she doesn't want to be on the show. I'm obviously not.

[A]

Clearly she wants to be talked about because she. She's Showing up to these events, like, I. I know better. Like I said, it's like me being upset because I remember that big white party that Kyle had at where Erica performed. Yes, of course I wanted to go to that. Erica is one of my very dear friends and Kyle is one of my best friends. Like, of course I wanted to go, but I said no because cameras were going to be there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's just. I'm talking now, like Michelle. It's just common sense.

[B]

It's common sense and the fact that he's all. Well, she called and the party was almost over and she went ahead and came over because she was at Chateau doing something different. She came over and they stuck a boom in her face. And he goes, as they should. That's their job. I haven't seen him like that in a while.

[A]

His face was like, don't with me.

[B]

I mean, don't show up at an all cast event and not expect to have a camera or be on you or be miked.

[A]

No, that really bugged and it made me kind of feel like, well, let's.

[B]

Talk about the fight that went on between the OC girlfriend and Michelle.

[A]

Yeah, let's talk about it.

[B]

Because something happened. The cast is not talking about it. Michelle said her attorney has advised her. Not what could possibly have happened. Why would.

[A]

My guess, they went in there, they got to some argument, talking about boundaries, talking about each other. Don't talk about me. I'm not on this show. But meanwhile, they're being filmed. So in order to stop being filmed, she probably had to send some kind of a letter and say, I didn't sign the. Because when you walk into any housewife shoot, even if you're not going to be a part of it, you have to sign a waiver.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And we had already.

[B]

Yes, I was just gonna say that. Yeah. Earlier on the season, she had. They said that she had sent legal letters already not to talk about her. Then if it's. You feel that strongly about it, then I would say, don't show up to the season finale.

[A]

Then I would say stay at the Chateau Marmont for an extra hour, have a drink, enjoy yourself and wait for your boyfriend to get there. Yeah, sorry. But this nobody wants to see. Like, nobody wants to hear about a fight that probably would have been the best fight of the season that we don't get to see.

[B]

I know that it's just, you know, a part of it because we do have interaction off camera and shit happens. But it's hard to bring it on camera when it doesn't happen when we don't see.

[A]

When you're actually bringing it on, you're playing with fire. And, like, that's her Zen event. Why would. Why would what's her name be at her Zen event anyway?

[B]

Yeah, that's really weird.

[A]

It reminds me of Zen. Whatever. Is that like the Chew or something?

[B]

What's it called?

[A]

They're called Zins.

[B]

Is that what it's called? The brand?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But the finale, they bring out mocktails and baby bottles.

[A]

Is that a. Like a. Well, I guess it's not a prelude because that's before. So it's an afterlude of.

[B]

It's a quailude. That's what it should have been. It's a lud.

[A]

It's alluding to when Lala was drinking from a baby bottle, I think.

[B]

I think so. And plus, there's two girls on the cast that are pregnant, so they couldn't really have. Last year. I think it was last year at a reunion, they offered either a mocktail or a cocktail.

[A]

Well, this year, no cocktails weren't even offered. But I am looking forward to seeing how they're going to shake up casting because I do like the show.

[B]

What do you think? You think New Blood?

[A]

I think in order for Jesse to be back, he's going to have to bring his girlfriend.

[B]

Or it's a. Are they still together?

[A]

Yeah, I think so. And Michelle and her dude aren't together anymore, but she said. I think I counted nine words this entire reunion.

[B]

I don't think she'll be back.

[A]

I don't think she. I think she's done, though.

[B]

Yeah, I do, too. And I'll be shocked if Jesse, like you said, if he doesn't bring the girl, then.

[A]

Then what? Then he's gonna have to bring. Who knows? Maybe he'd be messy again once Michelle wasn't there. Maybe he wasn't that messy because he was trying to.

[B]

Or maybe split him up. Sometimes you need to split people up to have better content. I don't.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

I don't want to hear about their divorce anymore.

[A]

I don't care about hearing about their divorce. And listen, I'm sure Michelle is a.

[B]

Nice girl and he doesn't either because he gave him a whole 30 seconds to talk about it. 30 minutes on Jackson, Britney. 30 seconds on. But. Okay, so we know Jax isn't back. We. And if Michelle and Jesse don't, we're gonna. They're gonna throw in Lala, they're gonna throw in Sheena and Rock And I think that would be great.

[A]

Yep. And then we get back and you know, but I hope, I think that Jesse is good reality television. So I do hope that he comes back and I hope his girlfriend comes back. I mean, that comes back. I hope his shows. Yeah.

[B]

What about Nia and Danny?

[A]

I think they have to be there because I think they're the voice of reason. But also I think we're seeing more and more of their relationship that things are being patched over. Like the fact that Nia has to talk for him all the time.

[B]

Yeah. Jasmine and Melissa, I would like to see more of them. I'd like to see their wedding. I think that would be really cool.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, Jasmine was funny. Had some funny one liners this reunion, but she still said more words than Michelle and Zach.

[B]

Started off the season getting on my nerves and then ended the season.

[A]

Now we love it.

[B]

Being one of my favorites.

[A]

We love it. Thanks for entertaining us. The Valley. We appreciate it and we can't wait to see what's happened. I mean, I'm sure we'll start seeing paparazzi shoots of next season's filming soon.

[B]

I'm sure they'll. They'll start.

[A]

Got to be right around the corner.

[B]

Good job, Alex Baskin.

[A]

And now's the time for me to announce. Just kidding.

[B]

Oh, you're on the show. You've been asked to be on the show. Would you go on that show? I mean, you technically live in the Valley, right?

[A]

And do what? No. Oh, my gosh, no. You guys, don't even turn this into a headline because I can't even know I'm not on the Valley. Not going on the Valley. Have no interest in going in the Valley. I already live in the Valley.

[B]

Say this. Never say never.

[A]

I didn't. You know it's a no when you won't even say never. Say never.

[B]

Oh, I love when people say that. Would you ever go back to Housewives? Well, never say never.

[A]

Never.

[B]

If the money's right.

[A]

Oh, God. We all know what the money is. So just say, if I can get.

[B]

A little fame, I might say yes. Oh, gosh.

[A]

All right, well, I love you, Pam.

[B]

Bye.

[A]

Bye.
