The Roast Begins

Bio Roast

The episode kicks off around [03:05], with Teddi introducing the concept of the ChatGPT roast. Erica Jane, Teddi's co-host, takes the lead in delivering the roast, starting with a mock biography crafted by ChatGPT:

Erica Jane [03:37]: "Teddy Meddling camp is what happens when a Fitbit gains sentience and signs with CAA. She joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to bring honesty and accountability, but ended up offering all the charisma of a protein shake."

Teddi responds appreciatively yet playfully:

Teddi Mellencamp [03:53]: "Those are so charismatic."

Accountability and Branding

Erica Jane proceeds to target Teddi’s branding as an accountability guru, emphasizing the overly serious nature of her persona:

Erica Jane [04:50]: "Taglines. I bring the accountability even if no one asked for it."

Teddi admits to the pressure of maintaining her brand:

Teddi Mellencamp [05:12]: "I'm so disappointed in myself. For using the word accountability. I didn't really even know what that word was, but I just..."

The conversation reveals the challenges Teddi faces in balancing her public image with her personal identity.

Social Media and Image

The roast continues with jabs at Teddi’s social media presence, particularly her Instagram feed:

Erica Jane [09:25]: "Her feed is a dizzying mix of workout videos, wellness infographics, and forced, forced relatability captions. Like, just a reminder, you're doing great."

Teddi humorously defends her social media habits:

Teddi Mellencamp [10:26]: "I popped my knee next to my dad, but it looked super high because my dad maybe isn't the tallest. He's not alive."

This segment highlights the often superficial nature of social media personas versus real-life complexities.

Celebrity Interactions

Erica Jane brings up Teddi’s interactions with other celebrities, particularly during her stint on Celebrity Big Brother:

Erica Jane [12:07]: "By the way, I saw Cynthia Bailey. We were in Puerto Vallarta last week. She said that you were on Big Brother with her."

Teddi reveals behind-the-scenes strategies and candid moments from the show:

Teddi Mellencamp [12:15]: "I was on Big Brother with her. But they blew me out first because they knew you were good."

This exchange underscores the competitive nature of reality TV and its impact on personal relationships.

Personality Traits

The roast also touches on Teddi’s personality traits, particularly her discipline and competitiveness:

Erica Jane [14:42]: "You keep people accountable because being fun was never an option."

Teddi Mellencamp [14:52]: "Lose everything first."

This light-hearted critique provides insight into how Teddi's drive and determination are perceived by others.

---

Reflections and Personal Insights

Public Perception vs. Personal Reality

As the roast progresses, Teddi and Erica Jane shift from playful teasing to more heartfelt reflections. They discuss the disparity between how Teddi is perceived publicly versus her inner struggles:

Teddi Mellencamp [22:52]: "Me, I think. I wish I would have talked about how comfortable and uncomfortable I can be in my own skin, but I think also I was going through something privately."

Erica Jane [23:10]: "It's like when I get told I'm cold. No, I'm not cold. I was just afraid."

These moments reveal the vulnerabilities behind Teddi's disciplined exterior, highlighting the importance of authenticity and emotional expression.

Challenges of Reality TV

The hosts delve into the challenges Teddi faced while on reality TV, emphasizing how the show's format limited her ability to fully express her true self:

Teddi Mellencamp [24:02]: "And I'm like, terrible. Your talent is being a rock star, and mine is to be a laughter."

Erica Jane [24:12]: "Reality TV does not have the best reputation. It has the best characters. It has an unbelievable draw. Unbelievable pop culture draw. But it comes with some real, you know, cons."

This discussion sheds light on the pressures and compromises inherent in reality television, affecting personal growth and public image.

---

Concluding Remarks

As the roast winds down, Teddi and Erica Jane reflect on the experience, acknowledging both the humor and the underlying truths revealed through their playful banter:

Teddi Mellencamp [25:07]: "I think it's exactly what I thought it was gonna be."

Erica Jane [25:18]: "It is. And it's also something that it's obvious, we've heard it. And you can go, I see a little bit of that. I don't see. I can see why someone would say that, but I guess it's..."

They express a mix of amusement and acceptance regarding the public's perception of Teddi, while also hinting at future episodes where they plan to roast their friends and acquaintances, expanding the comedic scope of the podcast:

Teddi Mellencamp [26:37]: "That's actually next episode, we'll be roasting every single one of our friends and everybody relationships from clickbait."

Erica Jane [26:58]: "Thanks, guys."

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Welcome to another ChatGPT roast roast from Diamonds in the Rough. And Erica's already laughing because we're roasting me. I knew they would have more goods towards roast me with.

[Erica Jane]

Well, okay, look, we did. We roasted. Erica Jane, myself.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I love when you talk about yourself.

[Erica Jane]

Well, I. Sometimes I have to because it's such a disaster. You don't want to believe it's yourself. Which is what Chat GPT said. So we're here this week. A roast AI roast of Teddy. You ready?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, I'm ready.

[Erica Jane]

Okay, here's the bio. Teddy Meddling camp is what happens when a Fitbit gains sentience and signs with caa. She joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to bring honesty and accountability, but ended up offering all the charisma of a protein shake.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Those are so charismatic.

[Erica Jane]

I know. Daughter of rock legend John Mellencamp, Teddi somehow turned her VIP lineage into a business model that's 50% toxic positivity and 50% toxic productivity and 0% fun. Her personality is calendar app. She made accountability a brand, then forgot to include flavor, flexibility, or an actual personality. And when she's not harassing you via text message, she's co hosting Two Teeth in a Pod with Tamara Judge. Together, they break down Bravo drama with the energy of two PTA moms who've had just enough wine to start gossiping about your husband. Her stint on Celebrity Big Brother was short lived being the first to be evicted, but hey, at least she's consistent in being consistently underwhelming. Oh, my God. Teddy's idea fun. A 45 minute walk followed by 45 minutes of judging you for not doing a 45 minute walk. That is kind of right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, no, it's a 45 minute walk and then 45 minutes of judging somebody else on one of our pods.

[Erica Jane]

This is true. I will say I don't really necessarily agree with all of this because you, you know. Okay.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It's okay because it would make things more.

[Erica Jane]

No, no, no, it's not. No, no. But the judging you about the 45 minute walk. Yes, I do. Okay. Taglines. I bring the accountability even if no one asked for it.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm so disappointed in myself. For using the word accountability. I didn't really even know what that word was, but I just.

[Erica Jane]

Wait, you didn't know what it meant? No, Ted, you, like, burned it into our brains.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Because I was saying health and fitness coach at the beginning of filming, and they were like, no, you need to say something else.

[Erica Jane]

So you did what they told you so then?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, I did what Matt told me. Matt told me to say accountability.

[Erica Jane]

Well, this is your fault.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yes. You think I would come up with a big word like accountability? For fuck's sake.

[Justin Richmond]

I actually named the business, and I.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Didn'T get any percentage. All in by Teddy. That was by Matt.

[Erica Jane]

Wow.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

All in by Matt has gotten me in a lot of fucking trouble.

[Erica Jane]

Wow.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Matt's.

[Erica Jane]

So you didn't know what that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, we were in the limo.

[Erica Jane]

Do you know that every time they say accountability on that show, all I can think about is you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Me too.

[Erica Jane]

I need to be accountable. I'm like, no, no, no. We already did that, like, a few years ago. I'm not doing that anymore.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, I remember exactly what happened. I was in, like, one of the cars, and I'm like, shit, we're going to. I think Camille's. When she still lived at. At the beach.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah. Oh, Camille's house. Right outside Plane.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Wherever it was. I mean, this is first season, and you guys were grilling me about what I did for a living, and I'd already done kind of like one of those awkward Beverly Hills photo shoots outside on, like, Beverly Boulevard, like, pretending it's Beverly Hills, but I'm in the car.

[Erica Jane]

I asked Main road.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I asked Matt. I'm like, hey, they keep wanting me to change health and fitness coach. What should I say?

[Erica Jane]

But that's what you were.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I know. And he said, say. He goes, well, you could say account. I mean, he gave me, like, 20 options.

[Erica Jane]

And you chose accountability.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I was like, oh, accountability makes sense.

[Erica Jane]

Oh, my God. Do you hate it now?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Now I hate it. But I loved it then. It was brilliant. Until I was the least accountable.

[Erica Jane]

I was gonna say, yeah, then it kind of. It kind of. You went down the tubes on that one.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But then everybody thought that I was accountable to everything. And that's why.

[Erica Jane]

See, this is why when you make a statement like that on one of these shows, that it becomes like. Like, the roast last week, me being cold, Like, I'll never. You know, like, that's forever or contempt or whatever. Like, it's one of those things. You'll never get away from that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'll never get away from it. And the fact that people think I want to get away from being daughter of rock legend John Mellencamp. No. Wouldn't you wish?

[Erica Jane]

Well, I was going to say that sounds pretty fabulous to me, considering I didn't even have a dad. So, like, it's pretty. Pretty fucking great.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I have a funny story about the Cougs. So last week I go and do that, that event with Kyle, right? And this band comes up to me and they're like, Teddy Jo. And it's Little Big Town. Uh huh.

[Erica Jane]

Wow. I thought, See, and the cool thing is people don't know this. Like Teddi knows everybody.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And they remember me from I was a little kid, right? And like, it's not like I got anything out of it. I didn't even ask them for a photo.

[Erica Jane]

No, but they know you from the time you were a child.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't want to take back those memories and I don't want to be that person that has to run up and be like, hey, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. Like I do for cruises. Friends but begging for autographs. Oh, like if Cruz is gets excited about a celebrity, clearly they have. They don't know who John Mellencamp or me or you or anybody's demographic is. But I will run up to like.

[Erica Jane]

Who, who is he asking?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Like a YouTuber.

[Erica Jane]

A YouTuber.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Like a 15 year old YouTuber. I will stand there on the side and act like it's Justin Bieber and I'll be like, excuse me, excuse me, I'm sorry, my son is a picture. But yeah, Little Big Towns. Like Teddy Jo.

[Erica Jane]

Wow, that's cool. That's cool. I didn't know YouTubers.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's what kids like these days.

[Erica Jane]

I know, I know. Born into fame, but I'm still trying to find my spotlight.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, you know, I'm fine with that.

[Erica Jane]

I keep people accountable because being fun was never an option. It still isn't. Wait. Oh. Fitness guru by day, reality TV filler by night.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You know what a filler is? Like a fluffer. It's a job that's necessary.

[Erica Jane]

You mean like a porn fluffer?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Erica Jane]

Oh, my God.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Somebody's gotta do it.

[Erica Jane]

Okay, Instagram feed. Her feed is a dizzying mix of workout videos, wellness infographics, and forced, forced relatability captions. Like, just a reminder, you're doing great. Said while flexing on a Beach at 5am it's giving gym teacher energy. But. But make it influencer. Every post is either a sponsored gym selfie or a motivational quote. That could double as a threat. Oh, My God. It's the Instagram equivalent of your high school friend who sells essential oils and unfollows you for eating bread.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I unfollow my friends that do essential oils, actually.

[Erica Jane]

You have friends that do essential oils.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That sell them, and then you one time buy them and then you can never get out. Yes.

[Erica Jane]

Like a pyramid oil scheme.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yes. I'm done with it.

[Erica Jane]

Wow.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I had to unfollow some people.

[Erica Jane]

And let's not forget the infamous photo with her dad, John Mellencamp, that had fans cringing at the thirst level.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Know what I did? I put my leg up. I know what photo it is.

[Erica Jane]

Was your dad mad?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, my dad wasn't mad. But everybody else, I was. You know how I do my leg like this?

[Erica Jane]

Yeah, you always got your knee popped.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I popped my knee next to my dad, but it looked super high because my dad maybe isn't the tallest. He's not alive.

[Erica Jane]

He's not. He's not. He's not a. And you're little, so maybe he's shrunk. John's a little smaller. Okay, you ready for your five year plan?

[Tamara Judge]

No.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Liv.

[Erica Jane]

Year one.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Liv.

[Erica Jane]

Liv. Right, we got that. We checked that off. Five. Year one.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Liv. You're laughing a little too hard for the people that work with me.

[Erica Jane]

Okay, Year one. You know what? I. Oh, my God. Ah, life. Jesus fucking Christ. Year one. And by the way, because you said that, like last week, when I saw this five year plan, that's the first thing I thought.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I know. Well.

[Erica Jane]

Cause it's the first thing I thought of. I was like, launch all four dogs. What? Launch all in Dogs. A pet accountability program. Every doodle in LA is now on a grain free diet and doing burpees at the dog park fountain. It's kind of cool.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They missed a joke here.

[Erica Jane]

That's actually kind of cool.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Lucy. Juicy Apple goosey could have been a part of the program.

[Erica Jane]

Loosey. Juicy Apple Juicy. Not Loosey Goosey. I tried to block it out.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't know. I.

[Erica Jane]

You have much more important things to worry about. I blocked it out myself.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I would never want to run Dogs accountability. Dogs are.

[Erica Jane]

I. But the doodles need it. The doodles need accountability because there are owners.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Would you want me to be your dog's accountability?

[Erica Jane]

Actually, my dogs. My. All of my dogs are. Well, being Tiago are fucking flawless. My dogs are. Because they just. They're not allowed. Year three joins another reality TV show, gets voted off first again.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Why? For winning.

[Erica Jane]

By the way, I saw Cynthia Bailey. We were in Puerto Vallarta last week.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Erica Jane]

She said that you. Were you on Big Brother with her?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I was on Big Brother with her.

[Erica Jane]

But, you know, she had the nicest things to say about you also, too. She said they blew you out first because they knew you were good.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, because they told me, and I even had asked. They said, don't do well in the first competition. But, you know, my ass.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah. You're so competitive. But she said, no, they shipped you out right away. Cause you were a threat.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. Which, you know what? But I still don't mind it. Really. Even my son roasted me. He goes, mom, you got kicked out again first. And that. I got kicked out again first for the. That. We both went. No, Name that tune.

[Erica Jane]

Oh, name that, name that tune.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I lost as well. Erica won.

[Erica Jane]

You become a motivational speaker, but audience finds themselves more motivated to leave. Okay, year five. Oh, God, here we go. Two T's in a pod. Rebrand says two T's, one echo chamber each episode. Tamara and Teddy agreeing that they're always right, occasionally broken up by 200 ads for CBD gummies and vaginal lasers. That is a good one.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

This should actually be our new.

[Erica Jane]

This is actually. You should actually.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Our new branding concept.

[Erica Jane]

You should actually take this, because that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Is kind of two T's. Hi, welcome to another episode of Two T's in a Pod where we rebrand as an echo chamber. We're always right, always wrong, and we want to promote your CBD gummies and.

[Erica Jane]

Vaginal lasers up to 200 ads. We have up to 200 ads space. We have up to 200 ad space. Okay, overall thoughts? Teddy Mellencamp is like the parsley garnish on the Real Housewives plate. I hate parsley. I hate parsley. Nobody eats it. Present, but not adding much flavor. She's the human equivalent of Jim Waverley. Oh. Of the gym. Waiver form necessary? Maybe, but no one's excited to engage. Oh, my God. She calls herself real, but let's be honest, she's about as compelling as a half used planner.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I thought it said boner, and I.

[Erica Jane]

Was like, half used boner. I don't even have a full used boner on rhabh. She was the moral compass no one asked for. Agreed. Bringing a clipboard to a gladiator match. Ooh, she was.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She must have to tell me what that means.

[Tamara Judge]

So.

[Erica Jane]

So in other words, it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. I wasn't ready.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah, you were playing nice and we were playing mean.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, I wasn't Ready? You guys saw me, and you're like.

[Erica Jane]

That'S not necessarily true. And I went until you got, hold it, lady.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Till I got two T's in a pod with 200 ads.

[Erica Jane]

I could bring lasers and CBD gummies. She wasn't here to play games. But fun was never on the itinerary.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You know what? So pretty much what we've summed up is I'm zero fun, and you like.

[Erica Jane]

Protein shakes, and you're accountable.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm accountable. Zero fun. Lose everything first.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah, but you lose everything first because you're competitive. Let's be honest. Like, you didn't lose because you were bad. They blew you off because you were.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

In it because the only girl that beat me was the MMA fighter. If I would, I asked. I said, if I let go, will you keep me? And then I started to let go. And she goes, no.

[Erica Jane]

All right, now we're gonna go live, and we're gonna ask ChatGPT, what is Teddi Mellencamp's best quality? Your best quality is your discipline.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

This is like when Edwin said my bet, when they said, what do you love most about your wife? And he said that she's organized.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah, but that's why you're divor. No, you want Chatgpt to say, your best quality is that you're disciplined, and you show up and you, like, fought through cancer and all this kind of stuff. You don't want your husband to say, she's organized. So you see what I'm saying? Like, ChatGPT. Like, ChatGPT can say, I'm cold and I'm fine. Whatever. Bring it on. But my. I wonder what Tom was.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You wouldn't want Tom to say that you were.

[Erica Jane]

God only knows what that man would say. Probably fucking God only knows.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm gonna zip on over and interview Tom next week.

[Erica Jane]

Erica who. Right. What? Oh, my God. Poor thing. But, yeah, for Edwin to say, you're organized, but that is chastity.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I feel like that.

[Erica Jane]

Shit. Wait, was that in loyalty? Your loyalty.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm loyal and disciplined.

[Erica Jane]

You are loyal. You are loyal to Kyle Richards and disciplined to yourself.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And after this podcast, I am no longer loyal to Erika Jayne. You're not.

[Erica Jane]

I mean, listen, I'm going to tell you something, and I mean this. You better be loyal to Kyle before you're loyal to me, because she's been right there for you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I know she's done.

[Erica Jane]

She's been awesome for you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And here's the thing. I think friends are loyal. I'm not gonna justify the fact that I am very disciplined. And when I can't be disciplined, I come unhinged. You saw me when you arrived.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah, well, that's different. I think that being as disciplined as you are is why you are where you are in your cancer. In your cancer cancel.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

In your Cancel culture.

[Erica Jane]

I.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It's why you're canceled.

[Erica Jane]

You know what? Whatever you're on wore off on me, and I'm picking up these strange vibes. Okay, so let me. Here's what.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Hold on. I need to know. What? My best features. I need one.

[Erica Jane]

I'm not finished singing your praises.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, I don't. Listen, it's gonna seem like I was attacking you. Attacking? Because I.

[Erica Jane]

No, you just.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You're.

[Erica Jane]

Say whatever you want.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Your pity. GPT roasting me.

[Erica Jane]

No, I'm Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Come for me.

[Erica Jane]

I'm not pitying you at all. What I was gonna say is your discipline is something that has brought you so far through your cancer journey. It is, true. Because you've been very disciplined about when you found out. I have been.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I am a disciplined person.

[Erica Jane]

You're very disciplined.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's what my goal is. And asking you as a friend, how.

[Erica Jane]

Do I show more empathy?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Don't ask me.

[Erica Jane]

I don't know. I've been trying for years.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

We've been working on. We can't work on that. We're not right on the chip.

[Erica Jane]

It's just.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, but how do I show the side that my true friends get to see?

[Erica Jane]

Okay, so are you comfortable in this is what I'm just gonna ask you right now.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, I'm in a full sweat.

[Erica Jane]

No, no, not like that. I know you're sweating, but are you comfortable letting people see who you are with your friends? Because I think sometimes people don't understand that the show that we're on, that used to be on with me doesn't really allow for you to show your 100% most vulnerable soul because of its nature of being, you know, conflict. And at any moment, you know, it's like it says a gladiator match. So were you comfortable?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't think so.

[Erica Jane]

In your own skin. Like, that's really what it boils down to.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Me, I think. I wish I would have talked about how comfortable and uncomfortable I can be in my own skin, but I think also I was going through something privately.

[Erica Jane]

Right. That was life that was seeping out, and we couldn't read it, and.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And everybody was reading it as the wrong thing.

[Erica Jane]

It's like when I get told I'm cold. No, I'm not cold. I was just afraid.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And one person would have just nailed it, but.

[Erica Jane]

But also, too. Nobody's a mind reader, and so sometimes you want people to pick up on what's bothering you, but they can't.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Erica Jane]

You know, everybody's involved.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I thought you would have, of all.

[Erica Jane]

People, I had my suspicions, but I didn't know you well enough to be like, hey, is there something wrong over here?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Erica Jane]

I'm also one of these people that, like, if I don't know you that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, you're not gonna push.

[Erica Jane]

No, I'm not. Someone that's gonna be like, why are you withhold? I don't know you well enough to add. To hold you, to get in there and ask uncomfortable questions.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I think we also, you know, and this isn't to justify my behavior. But I went in knowing I can't disappoint my family. By family, I mean my dad was like, you're going to do a reality television show.

[Erica Jane]

I'm sure that that was just.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I'm like, terrible. Your talent is being a rock star, and mine is to be a. Laughter.

[Erica Jane]

Reality TV on a real. Well, reality TV does not have the best reputation. It has the best characters. It has an unbelievable draw. Unbelievable pop culture draw. But it comes with some real, you know, cons. And it's just, you know, horrible things.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, well, let's get. Let's move on to my. My best quality.

[Erica Jane]

Let's ask ChatGPT. What are your best. Oh, no. Your best features.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Best features.

[Erica Jane]

Your best features. Teddi Mellencamp's best feature is her athletic build. Organized and athletic build.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Athletic.

[Erica Jane]

I think it's wonderful.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

What are the other things?

[Tamara Judge]

Honorable mention goes to her smile.

[Erica Jane]

Oh, honorable mention. Your smile, which is so important to you. Remember we discussed that?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

My smile is important, but honestly, can't just somebody call me hot ever?

[Erica Jane]

But you are hot. Yeah. Okay. So what do you think? What do you think of your ChatGPT roast?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think it's exactly what I thought it was gonna be.

[Erica Jane]

Me, too. That's what I said. I know that's what I said. I can get on this.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I know what people come for me on me, too. And it kind of gives me a little bit of peace knowing it's always gonna be the same thing.

[Erica Jane]

It is. And it's also something that' it's obvious, we've heard it. And you can go, I see a little bit of that. I don't see. I can see why someone would say that, but I guess it's.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I can see. I can see that they're right.

[Erica Jane]

And in some aspects, of course, I could see why they would say it. But you're missing some other information because it's not whole. I can say. Yes. Have I been cold? Sure. Have I been removed? Yes. Have I been, like, irritated all the time? But was that the entire picture? No.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No. But also, I wish. And this isn't, you know, I'm sorry, chat GPT, but I wish they were a little bit funnier.

[Erica Jane]

It was. Well, it's a robot. It's a. It's a chatbot. It's not like, listen, chat, chatbots. Be funny, creative. If you can hear us, be more creative.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Be more creative.

[Erica Jane]

And who do we need to talk to? We need to talk to open AI or whatever. Whatever sources. Like, which one of Y' all is funny.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. Who's the funny one? Because that's who we need for our next roast.

[Erica Jane]

Our next. You know what we should do is roast Kyle.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Oh, we should start roasting our friends.

[Erica Jane]

We should. You know, and then.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And then they'll pick up the clips.

[Erica Jane]

That's.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And act like we said it.

[Erica Jane]

That's right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And then we'll have to explain to them later we didn't do it.

[Erica Jane]

It was chat GPT.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Let's just do little tiny clips for each one. And so then it looks like all we did was just talk about read each other.

[Erica Jane]

Yeah, we talk shit about everybody. Actually, that's the way we should open this.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's actually next episode, we'll be roasting every single one of our friends and everybody relationships from clickbait.

[Erica Jane]

Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Thanks, guys.

[Erica Jane]

Thank you for joining us on Teddy's roast by AI.

[Justin Richmond]

This is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose or do or die Game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human, because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.
