Two T's in a pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamara Judge
Hey guys. Welcome to another episode of two T's in a Pod with myself and Dolores. Good morning. It feels like a Monday morning to me. If ever there is a Monday morning. I am so tired. I am so tired. What a weekend I had. You know, I don't like to leave my house very.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, we are.
Tamara Judge
No. Two nights in a row really pushed me over the edge. I got a last minute invite to go to dinner with Vicki and Katie and yeah, so it was right over here at the Coto Club. So. So I said, okay, let's go. So was the husband and everything. We went and had relatively early dinner. But I tell you, if I have more than a glass of wine, it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Just affects shot for like it's not worth it. Is it even worth it?
Tamara Judge
I couldn't sleep. You know, you wake up, you're sweating. Next morning I have a headache. It's like really, really considering. Just never sounds like fun.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, sounds like a lot of fun.
Tamara Judge
And then the next morning, Sunday morning yesterday, I had to get up early and Vicki and I did the TMZ bus, the brunch bus, which was so cute.
Teddi Mellencamp
You guys did a great job.
Tamara Judge
It was a lot of fun. So we, we met right across, well, right where the Beverly center is. So we, we met there. Everybody was already on the bus. We get on, there's a DJ in there and we make three stops. So we made three stops. We ended at the Abbey. Just had a really good time. It was fun. It was a lot of fun. And then went to dinner at Craig's and we had our Santa outfits on. I looked at FA go, you look like an idiot. And I'm like, I'm dressed the same way. Yeah, I look like an idiot as well. So yeah, it was fun.
Teddi Mellencamp
The guy, she's fun when she's fun.
Tamara Judge
Yes, yes. And Eddie really likes Michael, her boyfriend. He is just a stand up guy. Very nice. I'm curious to see how he's going to deal with filming this season because he's much like Eddie, where Eddie's like all behind the camera and Mike says, and I'll be behind Eddie. It's going to be interesting to see he. Yeah. So what'd you do this weekend?
Teddi Mellencamp
So it snowed. I mean, like crazy. Yeah, you probably can't see it because I'm all blurred, but yeah. Yeah, I. It snowed, so I had so many plans to go see my poor mom. I have not seen her and all. I wake up to, like, a snowstorm. So I'm like, I might as well just catch up on all my things. My 19 cameos that I had to do. 19 because I pressed the button that said for them to go on sale.
Tamara Judge
Oh, I've done that before. I mean, sometimes I do it on purpose.
Teddi Mellencamp
You're not the only person has done it on accident.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, yeah, but that's good, too.
Teddi Mellencamp
So I had my 19 cameos, and, you know, they stress me out because I want them to be so personal and they mean a lot to me because I don't think mean a lot to the person.
Tamara Judge
It's so funny because I'll let them get stacked up sometimes and it's like, oh, I gotta do the cameos. And you. You act like it's so much work. It's literally like one minute of your life and it's done and over with. I think the biggest thing is, is, oh, I look like shit. 90% of the time. I'm in sweats and no makeup. It's like, is this how I want the cameo? Why not?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't care about looking like shit. I care about, like, being so personal. And then, you know, I met a girl last week, and I was almost embarrassed because she's like, I got a cameo when I had my son, and it went on forever. Dolores. We were laughing so hard, and I'm like, oh, my God, I feel like an asshole.
Tamara Judge
You ever got any weird, weird cameos?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. She's like, yeah. So you were like, yeah, And I love my Frankie because I had just had a boy, and you were like, all this stuff, and it was, like, really long. But, like, I loved it. I loved it. And I was like, oh, God, thanks for telling me that.
Tamara Judge
Have you ever gotten these weird requests from cameo that you're like, no, I'm not doing that.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm. Nothing was funnier than when Teresa was actually reading the cameo about a girl that had chlamydia, but she thought it was serious. And she's like, oh, that was hilarious. But she was, like, being so nice about it.
Tamara Judge
I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like, so serious.
Tamara Judge
And I would have been like, sorry, I'm not doing that.
Teddi Mellencamp
No. And she was so. See, that was the innocent, but that, like, the innocence about her that we love. Like, she's like, so get yourself good. But she means it. And it was hysterical. I watch it sometimes just, yeah, cameos.
Tamara Judge
Where people are like, talk to me like, you're my best friend. And. And I'm like, but that's a lie. Like, I'm not like, do these things to me. So I am just dead tired.
Teddi Mellencamp
Dead.
Tamara Judge
I got to. After the. No, I'm not going to drink after the pod. I have to jump in the shower. I have one hour to get ready. Then I got to Dr. LA for a meeting.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, okay. For what?
Tamara Judge
I'll tell you after.
Teddi Mellencamp
I want to know. You know, I want to know.
Tamara Judge
I know. I'll tell you after. Yeah, so I'm just like, oh, can it just be Christmas? Are you finish. Are you finished Christmas shopping?
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm so behind. Like, I was like, in my head, I was ahead of the game just because I didn't even do anything yet. I just thought I was like, ahead of the game. Next thing you know, it's like.
Tamara Judge
And denial.
Teddi Mellencamp
And my. And my friend Kristin Hanenian and her husband Keith are coming on the 22nd, and I haven't seen her in like two years. She's like a sister to me. Follow her on Instagram if you want to know anything. Peptides, she's a genius.
Tamara Judge
Oh, I want. Yeah, I'd love to. I love following people like that.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my. No, but she's brilliant. She travels all over the world and she's a perfectionist in this game. So. Kristen Hananian. Yes, that's her name. And she's coming. So. So she's like a sister to me and I'm excited for that, but I need to get things done before she gets here because, you know, I want to spend a little time with her and it's crazy. I host Christmas.
Tamara Judge
I. Eddie and I were talking this year and I'm like, let's just not buy Christmas presents for each other. And like, we have so much and we get whatever we want whenever we want. Let's just go on a big trip. Right? Okay. Just.
Teddi Mellencamp
Right.
Tamara Judge
And then I'm not.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, no, I. I want guest.
Tamara Judge
I know you do. And so I said to him the other day, I go, let's do this.
Podcast Advertiser 2
The.
Tamara Judge
The stocking challenge. And he goes, what's that? And I go, I don't know. I just made it up. I said, you have this stocking right here and you have to feel it. Full of presents for me that fit into this stocking that's so cute.
Teddi Mellencamp
A lot of little things can fit in there. Yeah, a lot of little really nice things can fit in there.
Tamara Judge
And he's like, well, shoes and purses can't fit in there. I go, no, you got to use your brain. And you know what else, Eddie? You can't go the day before Christmas and fill it up. You got to start thinking now. You get off easy every single Christmas, because I do everything from setting up the Christmas tree, cooking the meals, buying all the presents for my family, his family, wrapping them. You just sit there.
Teddi Mellencamp
You do nothing all day. Yesterday, Paul asked his son, you want to come over for dinner? I was in the middle of cleaning. He was cleaning as closet. And the kids, like, can be over in an hour. And I go downstairs, I'm like, I have to go food shopping, Paul. And he's like, well, I was waiting for you. I said, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Stop that. Stairs. Doing what? I had to do my cameos. And you're playing in your closet. Don't pull that shit with me.
Tamara Judge
What do you cook for Christmas? Well, traditional Italian.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I don't do. Well, we do. We used to, but now we've, you know, put meats into it because the kids don't like fish. So it used to be the Seven Fishes, and now they'll be me and Frankie. Funicelli's father is a Frank. These names, you know. My assistant who should be here. Where is she? You know, her father's an amazing Italian chef, so I'll. I'm gonna order from him.
Tamara Judge
Oh, that's nice.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
I was thinking about doing some Italian food for Christmas or Christmas Eve dinner. All the kids came over, like, chicken piccata, maybe some lasagna.
Teddi Mellencamp
You know how to make lasagna, huh? Good girl.
Tamara Judge
I can follow a recipe. I'm not a complete.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, it takes a. It's not easy.
Tamara Judge
It takes a lot of work. It's a lot of work consuming.
Teddi Mellencamp
And it costs more sometimes to cook than it does to order.
Tamara Judge
I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Keep that in mind.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, no, we're not heroes here. We've done enough.
Tamara Judge
By the way, a very sad weekend as well. He's driving home from LA and heard about Rob Reiner and his wife.
Teddi Mellencamp
Michelle was just so devastating, so tragic, so sad. He seemed like an amazing man always. I even liked his character on Archie Bunker.
Tamara Judge
I know, I know. It's just been so sad to find out that it was his own son that did it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Takes my breath away. I saw a clip of them and he was saying that, you know, he listened to therapist and tried to handle his son the way he was told, but maybe that wasn't the way he should have because it was. He goes, it was never me. What do we know? Why was there a tumultuous relationship? Like, why is he. Had he.
Tamara Judge
Yes, he has mental illness. So. And I think substance abuse is what I've read. Allegedly. I'm not quite sure, but he was, from what I heard, taken into custody last night. Drugs and in and out of rehab and things like that. But just these poor children that they left behind. He's got three other kids. One adopted from Penny Marshall when they were married, and the other two and they lost their parents and their brother. Yeah, for the most part, just very sad.
Teddi Mellencamp
Very, very sad. And, you know, this has been a crazy weekend. Not only that, they had this shooting on Australia.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I was just going to bring that up. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know that much about the shooting in Australia. Like I said, it was so busy this weekend. But I just glanced through, it was Instagram, and I saw. Oh, my God. It was targeted.
Teddi Mellencamp
It was a Jewish. Yeah, the Hanukkah celebration. And. And thank God.
Tamara Judge
Do you know how many people.
Teddi Mellencamp
I think it was like nine. And more were shot. And then Brown lost 15.
Tamara Judge
Fifteen dead?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. No, no. Oh, 15 dead in Australia. Yeah. And then in Brown, you know, there'll be some kids that were supposed to come home for the holidays and now they're not. So I can't even imagine that heartache. I cannot.
Tamara Judge
The holidays just brings out the worst in some people, you know, I'm just so terribly sad. Or maybe it just hits home a little bit harder because it is the holidays. I'm not quite sure. But either way, it's just so tragic.
Teddi Mellencamp
It was a shitty weekend. How about that?
Tamara Judge
Yeah, it was. So let's get into headlines. So we have some Salt Lake City headlines. Heather Gay reveals whether or not she's going to cross paths with Jen Shaw. So Us Weekly reported on this. Heather says she's. She has no plans in meeting up with Jen Shaw, and she says Salt Lake City is small, but we've been able to avoid people in Salt Lake City and not see them. And so she's. She's pretty confident that she's not going to cross paths with Jen Shaw. So. Okay. Now Megan and Jim Edmonds. Their parenting plan was revealed two months after Megan's temporary lost custody of the three kids. This is also very confusing to me. I did see Megan Posted a picture on her stories with her children. So she has them.
Teddi Mellencamp
But according to.
Tamara Judge
According to this, the source says their kids will live full time with Jim in Tennessee. Now, keep in mind, Megan lives in Missouri. Megan will get to see the kids a few weeks every summer. Ah, what Now, I don't know that this is true because Megan's posting with her kids right now.
Teddi Mellencamp
Maybe she. Maybe she has them. It's. It's holiday break, isn't it? Kids?
Tamara Judge
Yeah, but it. I just don't think that I believe what this is saying. The custody hearing has.
Teddi Mellencamp
Sickening.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, but they said it has been called off and both sides have reached an agreement. I just don't think that Megan's gonna agree to seeing her children only a few weeks in the summer. Makes zero sense.
Teddi Mellencamp
Camera. I had friends when they. I had friends who were amazing moms who fought for custody of their children against their very wealthy husbands. And a couple of them lost. One girl picked up and moved to where they lived and became a teacher in the town so she could see them.
Tamara Judge
So, you know, I'm just no stranger to the situation. Simon. That's what he did when we got divorced. He did everything to try to hurt me. So he tried to take the kids away from me. And it was the most devastating feeling you've ever had in your life as a mother to know that it's your leaving your children's future in the hands of a third party, a judge. And that doesn't really know your kids or the parents. And obviously I did nothing to my children, so it never happened. But he was very successful with brainwashing and doing things right.
Teddi Mellencamp
One way or another, he was going to do it.
Tamara Judge
Still did a lot of damage. And still to this day, Spencer and Sophia are very traumatized by all of it. Very traumatized. So it's just like you're doing this. Like you're doing this. I don't know what Megan did, other than what I read. I don't know if there's more to it, but it's just sad and it hurts the children. You know, I always say the little people get hurt. Sometimes men or women hate their spouse more than they love their kids. And that's when all the damage is done.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
So I don't know.
Podcast Advertiser 1
It's hard.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Now, we all heard that Bronwyn and her husband Todd are splitting after nine years. But Chanel, he had a little comment to. To say, I gotta get my glasses on to read this.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, I could tell you it said she deserves or something.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, she deserves better is what Chanel said.
Teddi Mellencamp
Chanel has a way of putting things.
Tamara Judge
And a younger man. She deserves something young and a good.
Teddi Mellencamp
You know what, Chanel? You're right.
Tamara Judge
She's not lying. She's not.
Teddi Mellencamp
But you know, some people like money more than no one.
Podcast Advertiser 1
Not me.
Tamara Judge
Well, not enough money in the world to sleep with.
Teddi Mellencamp
You can have both.
Tamara Judge
Not enough money in the world to sleep with him. I could. I could not be that girl that. Just close your eyes and go. Okay. Come and get it, honey.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, right.

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 and 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 did.

So we're gonna go on to Potomac. This is episode 11. So it starts off with Tia disinviting Stacy to her polo event because Stacy kicked her out of her party. Yeah, I wouldn't have invited her either.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I wouldn't have invited her.
Podcast Advertiser 1
She was right.
Teddi Mellencamp
Tia was right not to invite her. Wouldn't have made sense. Sets.
Tamara Judge
And don't you feel we. We saw a little bit of Detroit Stacy come out when she was kicking her out, and at the very end.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't think she ended it with Toodaloo.
Tamara Judge
But before that, she's like, get your ass up. And then it's like, toodaloo. She's like, oh, that's not my QVC training. That's not my.
Teddi Mellencamp
She got out of character for a second. I know. Did you see her friend running over saying, stacy, no. Stacy, no. I don't know. Yeah, he was saying, no, calm down. He got all upset when he's the one that told her, get Detroit on their ass.
Tamara Judge
I know, I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
So I like him, by the way.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
So they.
Tamara Judge
They go to this event. Giselle, like, Giselle, she cracks me up. She's always trying to fight the. Find the fight in every scene.
Teddi Mellencamp
Every scene thing didn't leave two minutes.
Tamara Judge
I know. She's like, I'm here for the horse. I'm not here for the horses. I'm here for the food and the champagne. Okay, well, I'm glad you made that clear. How about just you're happy to support your friend here. Thank you.
Teddi Mellencamp
She loves to eat. Giselle, she's eating in everything.
Tamara Judge
I know about it. I know. Oh, geez. So have you ever.
Teddi Mellencamp
She looks great.
Podcast Advertiser 2
She does.
Tamara Judge
Have you ever been to a polo match?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Tamara Judge
Neither have I. Is that like a East coast thing? Like, do they. I know it's like UK thing, but I. I've don't see where they even have polo.
Teddi Mellencamp
There's polo matches everywhere. Everywhere.
Tamara Judge
Is there?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Never been to one.
Teddi Mellencamp
You probably aren't in the loop of the polo people.
Tamara Judge
You think I'm not fancy like that, Chauncey? Well, in a flashback, angel tells Ashley she felt she was. Wasn't included in the group. As she says, angel has to meet them halfway. Do you think they're being fair to Angel? No, no, no.
Teddi Mellencamp
They're not being nice to her.
Tamara Judge
Do you think they're welcoming? No. Do you think they're meeting. Do you think that they're meeting her halfway?
Teddi Mellencamp
So. So there's a way to make somebody feel comfortable coming into a group, right. To embrace them. They're not doing that. They're sitting back and saying, kiss our ass. Like, what I see Ashley doing is saying, kiss ours. There's a part of me that feels that Angel's very desperate to be on the show, and she's holding back a lot from sticking up for herself and speaking the way she normally would because she wants this so bad. I don't see it happening for her. No, I know.
Tamara Judge
I don't see it.
Teddi Mellencamp
But, you know, the girls aren't letting her in. They're not letting her in.
Tamara Judge
Well, let's get to the house of it all, because we see her packing up her house. She claims there's a miscommunication with the owner of the rental. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this was Airbnb and she got asked to be on the show and she's renting the Airbnb. I don't think that she thought they'd be done filming because we're only on episode 11 at this time. And don't they do, like, 17?
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, here's the thing. You get bonus, right when you're done filming. She's never. She's never been on before. So if you're a new housewife and no one's helping you and no one's being your friend or giving you any tips, like, they're not. Then you say, you don't know that. When they say, oh, we'll probably be done filming around here, you don't say, oh, let me. Let me stay a couple extra weeks. That's what I did in Rhode island, because I knew better.
Podcast Advertiser 2
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
I extended my rental.
Tamara Judge
It's only episode 11. They have, like, six more episodes to go. So, no, I don't believe that she thought they were done. I think, like, how it works on my show is they say, hey, we start on, let's say, January 1st, and we're done. January, February, March, April. We're done April 20th. And you're like, okay, rarely does it go over. And if it does, we're talking two days. Like, they have a budget. They have everything. That's how our show is produced.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's not how our show is. We get another two extra weeks, which is like a few episodes. Right. You figure. Yeah, so.
Tamara Judge
So she has to be rental.
Teddi Mellencamp
She didn't know what she was doing either.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, but, you know it didn't take the girls long to think, like, oh, she's been evicted. She's this, she's that, she's broke. I'm like, Giselle called it.
Teddi Mellencamp
God, Giselle called it in the car. Giselle called it to Tia. She rented the house, she got the whatever it was to be on the show. And she, you know, didn't realize she was going to be there longer than she was. It's embarrassing to say the least.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, but there's a lot of housewives that go like, Meredith Marks. She doesn't live in Salt Lake City all the time. She's got a different rental every single season. So it happens. Heather lives in la, but films in Orange county, like, miscalculated.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's it done.
Tamara Judge
But they make her out to like, isn't her.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, they're like killing her.
Tamara Judge
Does her husband currently play ball now or is he retired? Do you know?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know. But he's so nice.
Tamara Judge
He is super nice. But they're making it out like she's broke, they have no money, kicked out, you know, and then they go on and Stacy invites K to lunch. Oh my gosh. Oh, he does not play anymore. Okay, okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, but when you're playing, you should you make enough money that's supposed to last you a long time?
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I don't, I didn't, I don't really follow. I don't even know if he was football, basketball or what he was playing. I really don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp

Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte listeners? 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 went on to ebay to look for a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery and I found the most amazing Mugler jacket and the costume department loved it and it felt so good and I still have it at home. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit of finding those pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay.

Well, Stacy invites K to lunch. K says she feels like Stacy continues to lie. Lie, lie, lie.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is she lying about her? What do you give a. I'm so sick of it.
Tamara Judge
But you know what? You know the feeling someone's lying. But Kay is coming off as a bad guy because she's being gaslit by Stacy and she wants to expose Stacy. But the problem is, is, like when you do that and you push hard, you look like the guy and the liar and the cheater or whatever they're doing is the victim.
Teddi Mellencamp
Exactly.
Tamara Judge
All the time I try so hard. I have been victim to that. I have known people are lying. I go after them and try to expose their lie, and I look bad for doing it.
Teddi Mellencamp
And, well, you can mention it, but you don't have to hit it home because eventually the truth comes out on their own. You know, you can't.
Tamara Judge
You.
Teddi Mellencamp
You can't keep up with a lie all the time. It.
Podcast Advertiser 1
In.
Teddi Mellencamp
In life, it just comes out.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. Yeah. So then Giselle, Wendy, and Ashley go get dinner. Wendy says that angel asked her realtor for a house that looked like a $50,000 a month house, but we'll only pay 2 to $3,000 a month. Okay, this is all hearsay.
Teddi Mellencamp
I believe that. Do you know why I believe that that happened? Because who wouldn't say that? We all want to say that. Right? Because she wasn't staying there long. She's not making money for a season.
Tamara Judge
But do you feel like this is blown out of proportion? She's probably saying, like, I don't know, the rental.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I believe she was doing it for the show. She said, get me something that looks like more money. But you know what? Yeah.
Tamara Judge
How much?
Teddi Mellencamp
That said that I would never use.
Tamara Judge
Well, that's ethics. When you. When you become a real estate agent.
Teddi Mellencamp
Wendy will say, like, these girls hold nothing back. They don't hold anything back. And. And it's just like the way instead of them all saying, yeah, I get why she'd say that. Who wouldn't say that?
Tamara Judge
Well, yeah, Exactly. I feel like, yeah, get me a really nice house, but I don't want to spend 50 grand a month. Like, I could hear saying that, but they're trying to make it sound like it's something really.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like it's so bad. So bad.
Tamara Judge
I mean, obviously, angel wanted to present a lavish lifestyle, but do you think.
Teddi Mellencamp
Has a very lavish life?
Tamara Judge
Yeah, but do you feel like she's projecting with all this?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think that they're just on Angel. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
I mean, this doesn't age. It doesn't age well for Wendy.
Teddi Mellencamp
You agree with me?
Tamara Judge
Yes, I agree with. I always agree with you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Not always.
Tamara Judge
Not always. I'm joking.
Teddi Mellencamp
We were off on Stephanie, but then I met her in person and I liked her.

And then people. It might take years. Might take years. And people. Oh, my God. Tamara was right. Tamara was right. Yeah, I know. So Gisele and Wendy throw a cowboy theme party. This was the cheesiest party I've ever seen in my entire life. I mean, it looked like a little kids party. It was in, like, this warehouse. There's nobody there. It was just. Why didn't she just have it at home?
Teddi Mellencamp
Like, where were they?
Tamara Judge
Where were they?
Teddi Mellencamp
Every holiday in my house takes me three days to get back together.
Tamara Judge
Well, Angel's two hours late, but understandably because of the fact that she's packing up her house and getting the hell out of there. Do you think that Angel's husband was rude on the phone when he said, we'll get there when we get there? It sounds like something my husband. Sounds like something my husband would say.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, he was annoyed. He's about had it. He's getting dragged all over the place. This guy was in for the ride in the beginning, and now he sees that his wife is not only getting shit on, but now they look stupid with miscalculating their Airbnb. Yeah, he's just. This guy's, like, over it. He's so over it.
Tamara Judge
I feel like, yeah, yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And she goes, but I feel like. And she cries to him every day after they're done filming. And he's got to hear it. And she probably.
Podcast Advertiser 2
Screw this.
Teddi Mellencamp
You know, he doesn't want to do the nasty.
Tamara Judge
He's like, I'd rather upset and not.
Teddi Mellencamp
In the morning.
Tamara Judge
You're really going deep now. They're not having sex. They're having marital problems. That we divorce in two years.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, like, you know, like, you come home from A scene or like it's first season and not this didn't happen to me by the way. But it get, you know, it's in your head and you can't function. And you, you know, you're thinking about who said what and why the girls aren't nice. You and did you look right and is this. And why you didn't say. And she's not probably being like, you know, this guy's just over it and she, she depends on him for a lot, you know.
Tamara Judge
Well, Stacy finally brings her husband around or ex husband or whatever he knows. And her potato salad. Are you a potato salad girl?
Teddi Mellencamp
He looks like her potato salad.
Tamara Judge
He looks like potato salad. That's so mean.
Teddi Mellencamp
But she's like, it's the weirdest fucking Stacy. Fucking weird. You know, Weirdo Stacy, I like you. We. We've DMed a couple times. I just want to say to you, you're weird. You're fucking weird sometimes, dude. Like you coming over and this is her. I hope they like my potato salad.
Tamara Judge
I just like a fembot.
Teddi Mellencamp
I want people to see how my potato salad is. I'm like, turn your neck.
Tamara Judge
Turn your. No, she's very robotic. Do you think that she made it? Do you think she bought it?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think she made it. I do.
Tamara Judge
I mean, potato salad's not that hard.
Teddi Mellencamp
She put the little paprika on it.
Tamara Judge
On the top, yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Not Wendy's daughter going, ew, what's that? And then poor Arabella's like, it's my mom's potato salad. Arabella is the most normal in the whole family. She's like, normal.
Tamara Judge
With Wendy's daughter going, ew. I'm like, hey, there's mayonnaise.
Teddi Mellencamp
What's the matter?
Tamara Judge
You come to my house on a potluck night, which I rarely have them anymore. There's always potato salad that my. That's my mom's go to. Really? She cuts the hard boiled eggs and thin slices and puts them on the top, all that stuff. Oh, yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
My mom's is meatballs. You never go to the house without meatballs.
Tamara Judge
I had meatballs at Craig's last night, so.
Podcast Advertiser 1
Good.
Tamara Judge
Well, okay, so angel says that she doesn't know what happened with the lease. She's just like, listen, guys, I have to be out miscalculated, like, sorry, you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Don'T know what happened, you know, so that means you don't have a realtor, but hello.
Podcast Advertiser 4
I know.
Tamara Judge
Well, because it's an Airbnb.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's what happened. You went on the Airbnb app. You put the. The calendar, you pressed the wrong day and that's it.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
You didn't know how to go back in and fix it or you couldn't. You had. They had to know they were getting out. Because if you go on the Airbnb app. I've never used it, but maybe like, I don't know.
Tamara Judge
I've never used it. But if you go on. But when I went on.
Teddi Mellencamp
But I've looked at it like, I've, like, I can't figure it out. So what do I do? I go on and then you see all, like, everything's blocked off. Then what do.
Tamara Judge
You could have easily just put the wrong date in there. If it's Airbnb, that would be easy.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's what I'm saying.
Tamara Judge
But if you're doing like a rental, then you have to sit there and sign a contract. It's much different. Airbnb in Rhode Island. Didn't you. Did you do it?
Teddi Mellencamp
No way. I had a realtor.
Tamara Judge
Oh, you had a realtor. Okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes, I know my place. I'm not technical. I don't know how to use that app. What were your thoughts when I had to extend it? I called my realtor and the. My realtor called the homeowner's realtor. That's the professional way to do it.
Tamara Judge
This wasn't a short term rental. This was Airbnb. This is vacation rental time. It's done through an app. So I'm starting to feel a little bit bad for angel because Wendy calling out. Quiet.
Podcast Advertiser 2
Shut up.
Tamara Judge
Okay, so Angel, I am feeling a little sorry for her. Wendy calling her out for being evicted right in front of her kids really kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Like, what are you doing? Why would you say that right in front of the children?
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, Angel's gonna get her day for that one.
Tamara Judge
I know. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Angel, you better get your balls on. Stop running to your husband and bring it. Tough. Bring it.
Tamara Judge
Wait, they haven't filmed the reunion yet, have they? No, not yet. They should. They're at episode 11, so I would imagine they're going to do it in the next week or so.
Teddi Mellencamp
Angel, I'm talking to you like a friend. Oh, it's too late now. You earned. Get your. If they didn't film the reunion, you got this. You got. Okay, girl, you got. Your husband ain't going to be sitting next to you. You're not going to be able to run to him in the back room. So I'm going to tell you, you're. Get your Balls on and bring it to this reunion.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. Who do you think's first seat?
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, I guess it would be Wendy with everything going on now.
Tamara Judge
Oh, yeah, definitely. What about Stacy and Giselle? Do you think they'll. One of them.
Podcast Advertiser 2
Stacy?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Is Giselle normally first seat?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
It's funny how they have, like, the same people first, like Beverly Hills, you know that Kyle's always first seat.
Teddi Mellencamp
Always.
Tamara Judge
I'm normally typically for seat, but I'm. I'm for seat because I have a big mouth and I.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, you're first heat because usually the drama is around you, after you, and you know, I know. Who's for a seat when you weren't there.
Tamara Judge
I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Teresa? Melissa first? No, Teresa's mostly first. He. Listen, I'm. I'm okay. Kelly Dodd was first seat. That. There goes the credibility of first seat to me.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. Shannon was. I think.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I get it. Listen, you all can have first seat kids. I love my seat.
Tamara Judge
I've been second seat before this.
Teddi Mellencamp
How about this? Where you sit on that couch does not define the housewife that you are, let's face it.
Tamara Judge
No, no, they just. Whoever is. Whoever is most polarizing usually has first seat. They have the most to answer to. Kaden.
Teddi Mellencamp
Don't wish that on me.
Tamara Judge
It's not always the best thing.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do not wish that on me. I'm okay. I'm good. I know my place in this world and I like where it is.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my God.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'll drink to that.
Tamara Judge
You're going to drink to that?
Teddi Mellencamp
I'll sit on Andy's lap.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my gosh. But, yeah, that was a. That was an interesting episode. So are they off for the holidays? Do you know? Do they still show the. I haven't looked at the calendar coming up. Well, we are going to be off for the holidays, so we will have to maybe double up when we get back, but we're getting a little holiday break. Teddy started her holiday break earlier, so.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, well, I'm enjoy. I'm looking forward to the holidays, but not the break because I love seeing your beautiful face so much.
Tamara Judge
Thank you.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know what I'll do with all my free time.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I know. We won't have that much free time.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, we're recording next week and then that's really the break, so we should have our Christmas party online. Where your Santa hat.
Tamara Judge
I wore that polyester Santa hat all day yesterday. I got home, my head hair was stuck sweat to my head.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm allergic to polyester.
Tamara Judge
You know, my daughter refuses to wear anything with polyester in it.
Teddi Mellencamp
How come?
Tamara Judge
Because she says it's trash. Like it's low budget to wear anything. Mind you, she gets her clothes at secondhand stores.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, they were made better. Better materials.
Tamara Judge
I'm like, do you want me to order.
Podcast Advertiser 2
Shirts?
Tamara Judge
She has to wear black shirts for work. She's a hostess and stuff. So I said, you want me to get you a couple from like Amazon? She's like, no, they have polyester in them.
Teddi Mellencamp
Excuse me, Sophia.
Tamara Judge
It's plastic, Mom. It's not good for you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay, well, those 70s clothes, they must have not had polyester in them. Not right.
Tamara Judge
All right, well, thanks guys. We'll see you. Thank you.
Teddi Mellencamp
I hope we had you had fun. I had fun.

Podcast: iHeartPodcasts
In this lively episode of "Two Ts In A Pod," Teddi and Tamra dive into the latest drama from The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) Season 11, episode 11. They open up with personal updates and candid reflections on their own weekends, touch on impactful news stories, and then deliver their signature play-by-play analysis of RHOP—including discussions about rental drama, social dynamics among the cast, and insights on "housewife etiquette." The tone is energetic, humorously blunt, and deeply rooted in the perspective of two Housewives veterans.
(Start – 12:05)
(12:05 – 21:02)
(23:54 – 45:36)
On exhausting weekends:
“Two nights in a row really pushed me over the edge...if I have more than a glass of wine, it just affects my shot.” – Tamra, [04:11]
On doing Cameos:
“My 19 cameos…they stress me out because I want them to be so personal…” – Teddi, [06:16]
On the RHOP rental drama:
“I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this was Airbnb and she got asked to be on the show and she’s renting the Airbnb.” – Tamra, [26:46]
On being called out:
"Wendy calling her out for being evicted right in front of her kids really kind of rubbed me the wrong way." – Tamra, [42:34]
“Get your balls on and bring it. Tough. Bring it.” – Teddi, [42:54]
Housewives culture:
“Where you sit on that couch does not define the housewife that you are, let’s face it.” – Teddi, [44:41]
The hosts maintain their trademark balance of snark, empathy, inside-Housewives knowledge, and genuine friendship. They poke fun at themselves, the RHOP cast, and the sometimes absurd scenarios of reality TV, while not shying away from serious topics like divorce and tragedy.
For newcomers, this episode gives a candid, hilarious, and occasionally touching look into the world of Housewives both on and off the screen. Teddi and Tamra dissect RHOP’s latest chaos with the no-nonsense realism and insider wisdom that only two seasoned Housewives can deliver—leaving listeners informed, entertained, and ready for the next episode's drama.
