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. It's myself, Tamara Judge and Delores.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Hi everybody.

[Tamara Judge]

Hi. Now you're in LA right now. You're so close. We could be together, but I could feel you. You just got done filming.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I just got done filming the Traders reunion.

[Tamara Judge]

Woo. And I'm about to go film here in a little while. Well, a few hours. I still got to get glammed and everything.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

We're working girls.

[Tamara Judge]

This is Why I look so beautiful right now.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You always look beautiful. But look, we are hustle in are.

[Tamara Judge]

So can't wait to see now. Traitors is out tonight. And then there's what, one more episode after that, right? Yeah, yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And then the reunion. But can I just tell you, my dress was a corset. It was a custom made dress and I've never done custom before. And my sternum was. Because the woman made it so fast for me last minute. Tamara. I was so uncomfortable. Have you ever been uncomfortable? Because I don't do lack of comfort.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay. So yes, I went. I was young. I went to the Grammys, had this date. He's taking me to Grammys. So I got this tight dress that had like. What do they call it? Like boning or something where there's like tight.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yes, like that's what I.

[Tamara Judge]

Plastic things in there. And it was so tight I literally started having gas pain.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I was having gas pains. My sternum was crushed together. I thought that I was having a heart attack. And I will never. It was a big mistake to. To do that. The dress was beautiful. It looked. It's very dramatic. It's beautiful. But at a very high price.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And that is the most uncomfortable I've probably ever been. I was like holding my chest. Couldn't wait to get out of there. I didn't even say goodbye to anyone. They're all doing tiktoks right now and I'll.

[Tamara Judge]

Peace out. Peace out. Are you guys doing an after party or anything like that?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, no, no, I don't think. I mean, I'm sure a few will go out to dinner. We're going to the Lakers game tomorrow. Oh, fun. That's it. Before we start, I just want to touch on something. I see there's a lot of chatter about how we said that Karen Huger was going to meet. Made a example out of. And I want to clarify. I do too.

[Tamara Judge]

That's funny that you said that because.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You know why Tamara, It's. We didn't mean that she wasn't deserving of punishment and that it was an overly. But it wasn't overly done. But when we started to talk about her going and trying to fight. Fight it. Right. Or spending money, we said, don't bother. You're a public figure. On a good day, you're not going to get that.

[Tamara Judge]

Right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And that's all it was. It was not like, oh, she, you know, didn't get what was coming. But I'm sorry to say I wish her the best, but.

[Tamara Judge]

Right. And I I have found out, like, in different states, states, like, the laws are so different when it comes to driving drunk. It's like some, it's like zero tolerance. Some. You can like, look at her, she's had four and she's just now probably.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Seven years if it was here.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. So different states have harder rules and sentencing, you know, and if she thinks that she's going to appeal it and get out. I don't think so.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't think so. No.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And that's only what we say. But to say that she's being made. No, no, that's not what we meant at all.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, it was taken out of context a little bit. It wasn't like, oh, you know what, they're making an example of her by giving her a year. No, that's not what we were saying. No, but we knew that, you know, a lot of people in TV and people that have money get off, they get off, they can do whatever they want and they pay their way out or whatever.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Like, not in half, not when you're not. Yeah, but not us.

[Tamara Judge]

But, you know, she's going to pay the price. Whether you guys think it's one year, two years, three years, four years, it's up to the judge.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It's up to the judge. Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I do want to say, I'm sure you've seen Teddy made an announcement on her Instagram and she gave an update, which everybody was hoping for. So if anybody that hasn't seen it, go on over to Teddy's Instagram and you can.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

When did she post it?

[Tamara Judge]

She posted it yesterday.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Okay. I was traveling, so I had not seen it and I've been in the chair since 5:00 this morning. So tell me.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, and she also posted a video of herself today that was, I had seen it already, but it was heartbreaking for, for many people. She was having the staples removed from her head and you could see that it physically was hurting her and you know, and it was just, it was sad feeling very, very sad. I, I, I watched the video so many times just because I just want, I just.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, she's going through so much.

[Tamara Judge]

So much, so much, you guys. And thank you for your prayers. And so she posted yesterday. I am so grateful for the incredible surgeons, doctors and nurses who made my surgery a success and my recovery process. Comfortable in full transparency, More tumors removed than expected. Four in total. This fight is not over, but that round has been won.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I did see that. Yes. I did not see a video, but I did see that.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. The laughter Support and patience of my kids, my family, my closest friends is one gift. Words cannot properly express my gratitude as I move on to the next step in my treatment. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the outpouring of love and prayers. I see them and they're definitely helping me stay strong. So she got a lot of love. You know, I talked to her last night. She sounded great.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Oh, good.

[Tamara Judge]

And it just was so great to just hear her be Teddy.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

You know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, she'll be. She. She's strong willed.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She's. She's young. She has that on her side. She's loved and. And she has a lot of prayers. So we can't. We have to keep up with those prayers.

[Tamara Judge]

Keep up with the prayers, guys. So we are going to recap. Summer house. This is episode three, season nine. So here we are. Another backyard party. The backyard is decorated for the 4th of July party and it's the guys versus the girls. The guests will vote on whose side is the best, and the loser will have to go in the dunk tank tomorrow. Paige and Amanda feel older this year. They see Lexi. I know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They see dunk tank.

[Tamara Judge]

How gross was that? Who's sticking the wieners in there with hot dogs? Good. I mean, the smell of boiling hot dogs in itself isn't a pretty smell, but imagine having all that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Unless it's on a street corner with a Nathan sign on it. Don't show me that.

[Tamara Judge]

Hey, I love a good hot dog once in a while, but to have that juice and to have it pouring in there. No, thank you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Sometimes they're so gross out you all.

[Tamara Judge]

So Paige and Amanda feel older and they see Lexi and Bailey, who are so young and full of life. And Paige just has acid reflux. All the girls, really, that Lexi is the hottest girl that Jesse has ever been with.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Hey, listen, he's got some big shoes to fill over there. Brooklyn.

[Tamara Judge]

I know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Presley Gerber. Beckham. Brooklyn Beckham.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Brooklyn Beckham.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. I'm assuming she met these guys in her modeling.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But that's some roster there, sis.

[Tamara Judge]

It is.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It is impressive.

[Tamara Judge]

I know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And then here he comes along. Can we sleep together this weekend?

[Tamara Judge]

I mean, I love Jesse and bless his heart, you know, he's.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm only kidding, sweetheart.

[Tamara Judge]

He's gone through so much as, you know, his young life, but he's like. I don't know. I felt like we'll get to it, but I felt like once he got the girl, then he's like, do I want this girl? Like, I don't know, Maybe he said type of guy that the chase is everything. And then once he gets them, it's.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Like that type of guy, isn't that most guys? Especially the ones his age?

[Tamara Judge]

Probably. Yeah. Well, the next morning, the guys have the dunk take. So to make it more interesting, the girls fill it with old hot dogs and hot dog water.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Those girls are merciless.

[Tamara Judge]

They are. Especially that page.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They show no mercy.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. While they're eating breakfast, Kyle invites everyone to a party. He's DJing up in the city. His friend Emerald will be there and he's hoping to invite.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's an interesting character.

[Tamara Judge]

You think we need to. We're gonna.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm looking to hear more about that.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I feel like. What haven't we heard about him yet? The. The. The. What's it called? Parties. The play parties. I've never even heard of that. I didn't know what to say. Xxx I know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I need a little more of an elaboration on that. Okay, I'm not interested in the dunk tank with the hot dogs.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, we know that he had sex with two and a half girls and didn't come. And I'm like, okay, well, there you go. Well, then. Then Is it a problem?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Does he need to see a doctor?

[Tamara Judge]

I know, I know. That's what I was thinking. You look awesome.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Was he bragging?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't know how to take that. That would be a guy's question.

[Tamara Judge]

It would take my husband with two and a half girls two and a half seconds. Let's be real, man. Two and a half girls. Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm done just by saying it.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

By the time you're done saying it, you.

[Tamara Judge]

Both. You, all three of you get 45 seconds. 40 seconds. Maybe 20 seconds. I don't know. But yeah. The dunk tape. The guys were going in this dunk tank with freaking wiener juice in there. And Sierra dunks was. Was exactly what she needed to do is dunk his ass.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Did she get it out of her system? I just saw her in the lobby. She was leaving. She. We did the. She looked beautiful.

[Tamara Judge]

She's stunning.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She had something at E or extra. She was on her way. I, of course, was going downstairs for my potato chips.

[Tamara Judge]

Potato chips.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And to print my notes. And here she is walking out with her little skirt on. It was this big.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, God. I know. Just like Lexi's butt. It's like this big. And she's.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I mean. And you know, here. Here they are, Paige and Amanda. Are starting to feel this here comes.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

This young girl and they're looking around. Welcome to our world. By the way. I remember when I started to look at younger girls who got more attention and I was like, oh, so the.

[Tamara Judge]

Girls are what, in their 30s?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They're in their 30s. Still hot.

[Tamara Judge]

Still hot. Still young.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But they ain't the youngest in the. You know, here comes first acid reflux.

[Tamara Judge]

And the next thing you're doing is turning down your radio in your car to see where you're going and then.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Exactly. And they're on their way to freeze their eggs. And here comes like, you know.

[Tamara Judge]

Huh? I know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You know Brooklyn Beckham's ex to the house and it's like her tiny little booty with her little booty.

[Tamara Judge]

I mean, so cute.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It's not an easy time, girls, but it's life is so predictable and cruel.

[Tamara Judge]

I wonder if they're going to start bringing in some more youngins. So we have one that's already had a baby.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

There will be some passing of the torch. May.

[Tamara Judge]

That's kind of a tough job to have if you have children. For sure.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I mean that's no job to have if you have children.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Because you have to leave for the summer and what do you do with your child?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's not happening. It's over. It's her last year all the time. Right.

[Tamara Judge]

They're only there on the. Are they only there on the weekends?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It's over. When you have a baby that little. It's over ovr. It's only the weekends.

[Tamara Judge]

It's hard though. It's hard.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But when you have a baby that the age of what her baby will be by next summer, you're in the thick of it. You're not going anywhere.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. If you're leaving from Thursday to Sunday.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But also Tamara at some point. What will she have in common with the rest of the people in that house?

[Tamara Judge]

I know now.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Now the common interests are gone. They're gone. She could live by carries through them with their phone calls and their stories of who's getting laid that week and who's jumping into bed and Right. Dating who in the same house. The pond that they all fish in. But honestly, and I hate to say it, it's the end of an era.

[Tamara Judge]

I feel like it is also housewife shows to the same like I feel when they start bringing in young ones like their early 30s and you have girls like stop.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They're boring when they bring them in.

[Tamara Judge]

So I think so too. I think so too.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's a Different thing.

[Tamara Judge]

We need life experience. We need kids that are already grown a little bit. Like, I don't. I don't want to see little kids on. I don't want to see him.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You need a mix of everything.

[Tamara Judge]

So then Paige and Lindsay are shopping in the city. Lindsay's baby bump is on full display. Paige feels closer than ever to Lindsay right now. And Lindsay froze her eggs as a backup, which makes Paige want to do the same as.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Is that a new thing?

[Tamara Judge]

I guess.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I guess nobody was freezing their eggs when. When I was up and coming.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. And now they're like, you know, there's. There's not a lot of younger people doing the dirty because everyone's entertaining each other off of FaceTime or, you know, gaming and all that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

There's a lot of dirtiness in the summer house. But what. What they're not doing a lot of. Tamara. Is that forever person. Like. Like, back in the day, if you slept with someone, they were now your boyfriend. That's not happening. So that. So. So them having that, like, really strong child commitment with the persons, the people that they're having their summer flings with isn't happening. They don't want it to happen. And then you have Paige going on tour. Now she's got a huge tour with the giggly squad coming up.

[Tamara Judge]

That's why I was gonna say. And so also, you get, like, in this industry, girls at that age get on tv, and then they get a bigger career. And then for them to stop this career that. Not everybody gets this platform to have kids. Like, what Lindsay chose to do, that's tough decision. But I can see Lindsay going, you know what? I don't want to do this anymore. She's just, you know, she'll go on and do something else. Who knows? Maybe she'll end up on New York Housewives. Don't know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think that's what. I think that's what she's hoping for.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I'm hoping for it.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And, you know, the. The talk about freezing their eggs, but let's talk about the other one. Freezing his sperm.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, let's talk about that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

What is that, like, a new thing, too? Guys, I don't shoot your low till you're like, 80.

[Tamara Judge]

80. That's what I always. I was thinking of Hugh Hefner. I'm like, what. What you're making?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

He's like, what if something happens and then I can't.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, then, like, I don't know, maybe he's making sperm sickles. He's going to pass him out at a party. One for you. One for you. Doesn't it taste good? Maybe salty. Little salty.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I mean, it kind of didn't. But listen, it seems like he was much more interested in a. Really, in a future, and she was, like, losing interest. Like, you could see it start to. You know, when you pull that one piece of thread and then it all starts to unravel. Well, I see that one piece of thread ride coming off now because it's funny. These girls, again, show no mercy. They're, like, laughing at him. Then he froze his sperm, but everybody could go freeze their eggs.

[Tamara Judge]

But you saw Sierra earlier in the show when they were just cleaning up and stuff in the morning, where she was saying she would hope to find her forever guy and live on a farm. And the first thing I thought was, Craig, single Craig wants to live on a farm. That might be breaking.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That might be breaking a little girl code. That's so bad.

[Tamara Judge]

I know, but that's the first thing I thought of. I'm like, well, that's what Craig wants to do.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Maybe.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. I'm just saying, just keep it in the circle. Keep it in the circle.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Why not? I mean, it's that, like I said, I know. Fishing in the same pond. Oh, my God, that would be. Talk about a scandal over there.

[Tamara Judge]

That's what I mean. I'd be watching that shit. That's forever.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Never happen. That'll never happen then.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Paige has changed since she was with Craig. I think when she first got together with him, she didn't have everything. She. The career that she has now. She has, like you said, the giggly squad. And that's like a number one, huge, number one podcast. And she's on tour, so.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

My God, I'm.

[Tamara Judge]

I'm thinking maybe that might have been a big downfall in their relationship because she really was elevated and so busy and doing things, and he's over there and the south selling pillows.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. So listen, guys, these girls are growing out of you quick.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't know what's going on over there, but guess what? There's younger girls coming in. I just feel like this group is just kind of. They're growing out of each other. Girls mature faster. These guys still are, like, figuring out the ones that are in relationships, how they're going to keep. Have their kick and take and eat it, too. How are they still going to be out all night with the boys? But now they're Matt, you know, Kyle's.

[Tamara Judge]

It's just like Vanderpump rules. You know, they all started out working at a bar and then they grew up and they started having kids and stuff. And it's now they. They grew out of it. And that's where the valley came in. So we move on. Lexi and Jesse are on a date.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Adulting's not that fun, guys. So.

[Tamara Judge]

Just saying. It's not.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

We have no choice. You got to do it at some point.

[Tamara Judge]

That's why I tell my daughter, be a kid as long as you can.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They seem to be. Don't need to be told that. I don't think.

[Tamara Judge]

Right. So Lexi and Jesse are on a date at the lawn club. Lexi loves how confident Jesse has approached their relationship. She wants someone who isn't afraid to show her off. And isn't.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

This is the most cringe conversation. Well, I know. Dying on the floor.

[Tamara Judge]

I was like, when a girl tells a guy, I want you to show me off. I was like.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But then like, I don't know what.

[Tamara Judge]

To think about that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So are we going to sleep together this week? Am I seeing things or didn't they already lay in a bed together?

[Tamara Judge]

I think they were in there doing something freaky.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

But they were laying in bed. Am I confused?

[Tamara Judge]

I'm pretty sure there was no cloth.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't know. They all look the same. They're all skinny with like the same hair and everything in black and white.

[Tamara Judge]

Exactly.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So what was going on? Were they playing footsie? I mean, I'm just not sure. So now. Okay, so now they have this conversation, this big revelation. What, like what? The camera. What's going on?

[Tamara Judge]

Well, evidently she wants to make sure they're actually going somewhere. Now she's known him for two days, so they want to make sure that they're going somewhere. Jesse and Lexi are acting like they've been dating for years. Years. And they know each other for less than a week.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

He. He asks if they could sleep together. And then she says, well, is that. Didn't he bring up the. The conversation? He's like, so you want to like be together this week? That's what happened, right?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's a turn off to me. How long.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. How long did it take before you knew Paulie was the one?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, I knew right away. You know how I do. Paul said to me, listen, if I. If you're going to be with me, you need to let me help you. That's it done to say no more.

[Tamara Judge]

You're.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's all I ever want.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, that's a gentleman.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

All I ever wanted to Hear. I wanted a man to take over. Oh, and I remember we had just met and somebody had ripped me off and we. It was like our second conversation. He goes, oh, where's he live? Do you know where he lives?

[Tamara Judge]

I'm gonna go kick his ass.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I was like, oh, I found.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, he wants to take care of you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I found a man. It's hard because I'm a very strong woman. So it takes a man. Like, I like a man, you know?

[Tamara Judge]

Yep. That's how Eddie is too, with me. He's very protective. He's like. Suddenly he heard that there was like going on at gas stations where girls were getting robbed or something. He's like, you're not getting gas in your car anymore. I'm doing it for you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's like. To me, yeah. These are things I like to see.

[Tamara Judge]

He doesn't let me walk on the. Like for walking on a sidewalk, I have to walk on the inside side. If I even remotely go over there, he's like, get over there. Like, he's just. He wants to take care of me and I listen.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Guys don't know that, like those little things. If these guys at Summer House just like figured that out, they could have the whole I know everybody all at one time. They could have them all at one time.

[Tamara Judge]

So everyone shows up at Kyle's gig. Jesse recaps his date with Lexi to Carl and West. He tells them she made it clear she wants to be locked down. Lexi recapping her date with the girls. She feels like they really vibe well and recognize they're going faster than normal. Then Emeril shows up and kisses all the girls on the cheek when he introduces himself while Kyle is DJing.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That though, that's. Isn't that what you do?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, it's fine. I didn't think anything wrong with.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think Emerald is going to rock that.

[Tamara Judge]

I was more. I was more offended by his ripped up jeans than him kissing the girls.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Were they offended by the kissing? Hello.

[Tamara Judge]

That's like, no, I think that. Who was it? One of them? I think it was Lindsay, like, went on like, oh, okay, we're doing this. We're actually doing this.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Lindsay.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. She was like, when he kissed her. I mean, he seems really interesting. There's no doubt. I want to get to. I want more of him. Paige received some rage texts from Kyle this morning. He's mad at Craig for partnering with a competitor. Alcohol.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Why do you call Craig? Why is he calling her? I hate that.

[Tamara Judge]

But here's the thing.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Did he call Craig I don't think so. But he.

[Tamara Judge]

All he was. Was like, sponsoring it. It wasn't even like his own brand.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It would be like.

[Tamara Judge]

It would be like me getting mad because one of my cast members promoted another cbd THC business.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Are you. Are you paying our bills?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, that's what I would say. You're not paying my bills. And by the way, there's room for everybody. There really is.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And they have really supported him, so I'm surprised that supported him.

[Tamara Judge]

It's crazy. The amount. I mean, that's. Do you notice that's all they show? Any other drink on that show is blurred out.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. That's a big deal. That's really big. He gets a lot of play. But I don't like when somebody. Like, if Eddie did something, I'm not going to take it out on you.

[Tamara Judge]

True. Yes. Right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And especially man to man. Here's the thing, too.

[Tamara Judge]

Yep.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think that they would be. You know, if you got a problem with a man, don't go through his woman. Even if you're friends with the woman, speak to him about it. What do you go through her for?

[Tamara Judge]

I know, but then he's.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, I want her on my ass.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. He's also acting like a little. Because he also mad at Hannah. Sorry, Kyle. I say that in the best way because I do love you. We love you, by the way.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And you can say it about us if you want.

[Tamara Judge]

We're just saying at this point, it.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Makes you feel better. You can say something.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. You just acting.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

We're not saying anything bad, by the way.

[Tamara Judge]

Now, now we mean it with all the love in our heart. So also, he's met Hannah for saying she was fired for Summer House because she did an ad for a lover boy competitor. So this is just weird behavior. Like, there's a lot of other drinks out there.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She wouldn't have been fired for that.

[Tamara Judge]

No, she wouldn't have now. But I do love Paige calling Kyle a pretend diplo. That kind of made me laugh a little bit.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Listen, Kyle, you have to know, don't cross the girls in that house, especially with something like that, if you're upset. Like I said, she's not the one that did it. Talk to her boyfriend about it.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Yeah. Weird, weird behavior.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Maybe he's. Maybe. Who knows? Maybe he's more mad about something else. Maybe he's mad about something else that he just is taking it out on her.

[Tamara Judge]

Who knows?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

We never know what kind of day somebody's having.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. That's the therapist and us Talking. You can always tell.

[Janice Torres]

Now.

[Tamara Judge]

I can always spot people that have been through therapy because they say things.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Me, Never me.

[Tamara Judge]

Me. I have. Oh, okay. I say that now that. Well, you never know. You know what they've gone through.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You know, you don't know what's the underlying. Because it's kind of like he's getting, like, really mad about something to the wrong person who. Who he's mad at two people that did something, but yelling at someone who didn't.

[Tamara Judge]

But, Dolores, prior to me going to therapy, I would say, I don't give a shit what they've gone through. Pull yourself out of it. That's. That's how I used to be. But now I'm like, I'm a little bit softer and I have to open my mind. But like I said, you know what? I can't.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm trying that ERA way.

[Tamara Judge]

What are you crying about? You want me give you something to cry about? That.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, I know. Tough love. But let me tell you, it's that tough love that'll get you through the hardest times. I'm sorry. I know you might have a lot of other issues, but listen, it's like, choose your poison.

[Tamara Judge]

Choose your poison. I have mall, but I don't really care. I don't care. So Lindsay's back at the Hamptons house with Danielle. Was Danielle just standing outside of the house just waiting for somebody to come in? Now, she was on last year, right? I like me. Yeah, I do. I like her, too. I like her a lot. Was she a fold? Oh, wait, here it is. Backstory. Danielle was a main cast member from season two to eight. She was demoted a long time this season. Yeah. So she was demoted. I love her interview bites. I think she's funny. I think she was cracking me up, which.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

When she was talking about Lindsay, she goes, wait, so last year they were engaged. This year she's pregnant with somebody else's baby. And I'm like, you can't even make that shit up.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And, you know, she threw a little dig.

[Tamara Judge]

What was it?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She threw a little dig. Like, are you. Are you going to post?

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, yes. She's. Lindsay's like, oh, I'm going to do a gender reveal. She goes, oh, is this for a sponsored post?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, yeah, she said that. She said that.

[Tamara Judge]

So I think, yeah, Lindsay, bless her heart, she's like, hey, if I could get it, I do it.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And you know what? All the power to you. Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Amen to that. So Lindsay is planning a gender reveal scavenger hunt for everyone. Sierra Gets back to the house and recaps happy hour with the new house.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I love Sierra coming back and bringing all the tea.

[Tamara Judge]

I know he's joining them a little late because he was at a play party, just, you know, getting whacked off, I guess. He describes the event space, which includes a bunch of rooms with sex swings. He had sex with two and a half. What does a half mean? My mind goes to weird places. What is a half?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I want to know.

[Tamara Judge]

Is that just a blowy or something like that?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I want to know.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. So he's joining a little bit. I want to know what a half is. So he had sex with two and a half partners while he was there, but he didn't ejaculate.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So he's saying. But listen, he's saying he comes from a Muslim background where all of this is so taboo.

[Tamara Judge]

So it's all in his head.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

He's being rebellious. There's a lot going on here, Emeril, But I'm really interested in hearing all about it.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I'm so glad that you're not holding back, Emeril. Just give it all to us and we'll give it.

[Tamara Judge]

Give it to everybody. What? Dolores, this is the first time I ever heard this word. But west asked him if Edging. Edging. I've never heard that before.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That.

[Tamara Judge]

What does that mean? Holding. Like, not letting go.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yes. So it's getting right to the edge of it.

[Tamara Judge]

I overheard that makes sense.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Get to my little nephews talking about it.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, that's always wonderful.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And then I may. And then I was like. And they're like, you know, high, early high school, grammar school. I'm like, guys, what are you talking about? He goes. He goes, have a nice time going back to Edge Water.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, God.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They explained to me. It's like, right before you, and then you stop, like, yeah, yeah. That's insane. But it's a big thing now, so. Yes, edging. That's the thing.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, okay, okay. All right. Let's learn something new. At 57. Now he pulls up on a motorcycle, which I find incredibly sexy. I love guys.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Of course you do. That's your thing.

[Tamara Judge]

I love it. I love it. I love it. Do you find his opening, like, him coming in, refreshing?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I do.

[Tamara Judge]

I do, too.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I do.

[Tamara Judge]

He's like, yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think he's gonna bring a different aspect. Like, I think he's not more mature. That's not what I'm gonna say.

[Tamara Judge]

He's how old do you think he is?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

5. He looks like he's in his 30s.

[Tamara Judge]

30S. Yeah, that's what I said.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

He's about 32.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. I think he's going to be interesting. So now Carl, sweet Carl. He was just so. He was so smitten.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I was just on watch what happens live with him.

[Tamara Judge]

I know, I know. So he was just so cute when Sierra was like telling him, you know, you should do this with your hair. And he's like.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And he was so happy. He was so happy that someone attention to him, nice to him. I know, Carl, you're.

[Tamara Judge]

But do you remember what he said? He goes, when Sarah smiles at you, it feels good.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. You know, Carl, your person is coming. Be patient.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes. Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

When it's. Timing is everything.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And when the time is right, you meet the right person, you always wind up where you belong.

[Tamara Judge]

I think what he did last year was so hard for him to do that. I'm sure it was. And then to publicly just look like a nasty guy. But he did the right thing. He knew that they weren't right for each other.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Clearly, if they were right for each other, she wouldn't be pregnant with someone else.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Yep. So I just feel like he got a bad. He got a little bit of bad rep last year. I felt bad for him. I said, I'm a little damn. Like, I feel bad for you. I'm sorry that you're going through this. Like, I know that's got to be hard.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That was nice of you, Tamara. That was nice of you. Listen, he did a very hard thing while. While staying. While getting sober. He had to make a very big life decision.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Which is hard on its own.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, for sure.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. I give him a lot of credit. And he did her a favor. She's with someone now.

[Tamara Judge]

She's got everything she wants.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I got news for you. Those are two people who are over each other.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's why I say in our other conversations when I see somebody upset, like Kyle crying over. They're not. That's not being over someone.

[Tamara Judge]

No, no, no. I think I even. I even think that Wes and Sierra have the little. I don't know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, well, like, because when you're done, you don't care.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. You don't care. You don't at all.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Even a little bit.

[Tamara Judge]

Nope. So then Paige and Sierra in their room, and Paige drops a bomb about Kyle. He apologized for rage texting her, but a few days later, he did.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's not even a rage text. It's not even a rage. We have had some rage text. Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'LL show you a rage text.

[Tamara Judge]

I'll show you. I'll send you one. You sent me one. I send you one. He did. He did a Page Six exclusive interview and denied Hannah's claims that he got her fired.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Now, because I don't think he's. He has the power to do that. I don't think that another cast member has the power to get someone fired.

[Tamara Judge]

So Paige says he was lying through his teeth throughout the entire article. Craig also does not want to be Kyle's friend. Kyle went on Watch what happens live and called Craig a liar, so that ruined any chance of them being friends. Paige is ready to call Kyle out in front of everyone at Lindsay's ginger gender reveal party.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So she's going to ruin the gender reveal with fighting with Kyle?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, sounds like it. Sounds like it. I mean. I mean, it's just weird that Kyle's calling Paige about his wife. The red flags are waving. Like, why does Kyle feel so comfortable texting Paige like this?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Why is. Who's white? Wait, what was the red flags? Did I miss red flags?

[Tamara Judge]

No. So Kyle is calling Paige about his wife. They had that conversation. Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Amanda.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes. Yes. So Kyle was calling Paige about Amanda. I mean, that's a red flag right there. That's. That's up.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

What was he calling about?

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I don't think that we actually heard.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Okay. Can I ask you something? Is that really what the rage text was about? Is he saying, like.

[Tamara Judge]

Maybe.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Maybe I didn't want to say it.

[Tamara Judge]

We're gonna find out next week.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I'm gonna wait on that one, but.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, let's wait. What I was saying without saying, I felt like there was an underlying.

[Tamara Judge]

Huh.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Right, Tamara? Do you know what I'm saying?

[Tamara Judge]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, we'll say it out loud next week. So I have a few fan thoughts. Paige is a badass. Kyle is a bitch. Now, these are fans.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Kyle, you're not a.

[Tamara Judge]

You're just a little bit. You were just a little. Little bitchy today.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Little. You were being. There's difference.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes, but we let.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Kyle is such a nice guy.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. Can't wait for Paige to eat Kyle up. Grown men rage texting is gross. Paige did nothing wrong. I agree. Somebody asked, why is Danielle back? But I like her. I think she'd be great.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She wasn't back for three minutes. She called her friend out about, like, making money on a post. She's ready to go at it. She's. You know how when somebody gets demoted, they're like, how am I going to get back up there.

[Tamara Judge]

Right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

To take down.

[Tamara Judge]

Exactly. But for some reason, people can't stand her. And this is the thing in reality tv. And I've. It's happened to me even. It's happened to all of us that are outspoken on the show. You know, people like you do things, you get it riled up, you get the show. Interesting. It's like, we can't stand her, get her off of this TV show. And then they're gone. And it's like, okay, now the show's boring.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Right.

[Tamara Judge]

We need somebody to mix things up. We need somebody.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So. So she's back. She's going to mix things up because she's going to be like, I don't want to be a friend of. I want to be full time. And that's the dangerous animal in the zoo.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, Unless.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Nothing to lose.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Unless she's a little like, playing to Instagram comments, like she's going to tone herself down or do something, you know, to make people like her more. I don't know. Maybe not.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It doesn't ever work unless you're yourself.

[Tamara Judge]

No.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

If it's yourself that gets you there, it's yourself that gets you out of there.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Any time you try to do anything else, it doesn't work. People see through it. The fans are smart, the people are smart. They see through everything. So either be sincere, be yourself, or don't come over to play.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. No, I agree. I agree. So that was it. That was a good episode. Love you so much.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Love you. Thank you.

[Tamara Judge]

And I'll see you soon.
