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 their 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 Hey.

Two teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamra Judge
Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of Two Teas in a Pod. Today we will be recapping Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, episode two and three.
Teddy Mellencamp
These girls are crazy.
Tamra Judge
It is so good. And it's only getting better now.
Teddy Mellencamp
So I've only watched up until episode three, so I haven't. I know they're all out at once. How do you feel as somebody that's been on reality TV when they, you know, when Housewives, it's weekly, but when they just dump all the episode at once. Do you think you like that better?
Tamra Judge
No, I think I like to wait it out.
Teddy Mellencamp
I do too. I feel like it stretches it out.
Tamra Judge
Because now I've watched the entire thing pretty much. I mean, not the entire thing, but I've watched a bunch of episodes and now I'm like, okay, well, I'm getting, I like to have that, like, suspense a little bit more.
Teddy Mellencamp
But also, I mean, as a, as a viewer, I think, oh, okay, that's cool. I can watch them all if I have the time. But as talent, you're like, okay, you just, it's like blowing your wad. Yeah, right.
Tamra Judge
But that's. But now it's the number one show.
Michaela
I know.
Teddy Mellencamp
But I feel like it's going to be forgotten about in two weeks where.
Tamra Judge
We don't worry, then we'll have season three.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah. So how's it going? I saw on your Instagram you said you're not feeling that great today.
Tamra Judge
Well, it's because today is that, you know, day five, post immunotherapy, which every single time hits me like a ton of bricks. Like I. But I. Each time I think, oh, no, now I'm gonna be fine this time because my body's used to it. And then it's like I. Yesterday. So. So the day before I went to. It was like a non stop. Like my weekend has been non stop because I did my dad's event. Then I drove to Orange county, went to Slate's horse show during the day. Then I drove back that same night because I had Alexia's wedding party.
Teddy Mellencamp
That looks so beautiful.
Tamra Judge
It was so beautiful. It was so fun. It was so nice. I got to see Rinna and Kyle and Dorit. Like, it was good to kind of catch up with everybody.
Teddy Mellencamp
And then, like, the group was back together.
Tamra Judge
The group was back together. We were sad Erica wasn't there, but she couldn't be there. But, yeah, that's. Those were the housewives that were there. And then we just had a fun night. But I had a feeling. And I texted Edwin, I said, ed, on Sunday, can you kind of just hang with the kids a bit? Because I have a feeling after all this nonstop, I'm going to be exhausted. And when I tell you I got up with the kids, kids, hung out with them to like 10, 11am Then Edwin picked them up for church. And then I slept for eight hours.
Teddy Mellencamp
During the day.
Tamra Judge
During the day. Eight hours.
Teddy Mellencamp
Were you able to sleep that night?
Tamra Judge
Yes. Then I got up, ate dinner, hung out with the kids, and then me and Cruz went back to bed. We put on, like, our little podcast we listened to, and we went to bed at 8:30pm and woke up. I woke up in time to go to hot yoga this morning, but hot yoga, I was pretty much just lay yoga.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, hey, at least you go. You know what I mean? You make that attempt to go every single. You know, do something physical every single day, no matter how you feel. But I as like a mother in me, I worry. Like, I watch you on social media. I'm like, oh, my God, she's here. She's like, I would be exhausted.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. But I listened to my body. Like, I went and slept. And then today during yoga, I really, like, stretched and relaxed and I. I mean, I'm definitely a little lower energy than I normally am, but I don't feel terrible. I just am a little bit tired. But I'm like, I felt this. I would be this way before. I like to do a lot of things. I like to stay busy, and it helps with my mental health.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, for sure. Now your immunotherapy, is it. You said now you start every four weeks after this.
Tamra Judge
They doubled up this time. And then I have my next session in four weeks.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay. And then after that, it's every four weeks?
Tamra Judge
Yeah, every four weeks. Yeah, every four weeks. For the.
Teddy Mellencamp
So out of that three week, you've only been doing three weeks. How, like, do you feel bad a week out of that?
Tamra Judge
I would say it's about three days. Well, we'll catch me tomorrow. So yesterday I felt exhausted. So that's the day I slept all day. Then today we're talking, we're recapping. And then tomorrow I'll be talking to you again. I'm curious if you see a change. And do you, do you get sick.
Teddy Mellencamp
To your stomach at all?
Tamra Judge
Well, I take. I'm on a medication that helps with nausea.
Teddy Mellencamp
Like a Zofran or something.
Tamra Judge
It's kind of like a Zofran, but it lasts all day. And you swallow it. It doesn't melt in your mouth. Oh, but it could potentially make you tired. But it works.
Teddy Mellencamp
It's like, I'd rather be tired than throwing up.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, same, same, same. But here, everything else is good. Everything else is good. What about you?
Teddy Mellencamp
I'm good. I've been had this stupid head cold. I don't know what's going on. I, I, I think I have, like, long Covid or something, because when I got Covid back in November and it lasted five weeks and it went through every part of my body. Every. I swear, every other month I have, like, a relapse.
Tamra Judge
Don't mind me As I drink some Pedialyte. We call it my elixir. Cruz made it for me this morning. It's Pedial mixed with a little bit of ginger ale and some soda water.
Teddy Mellencamp
It's called the mocktail.
Tamra Judge
A week. You know, it's an elixir. I feel so fancy. By the way.
Teddy Mellencamp
When I was in New York, I had the best mocktail. It was like soda water, orange juice, cranberry juice, and lime.
Tamra Judge
Oh, my gosh.
Teddy Mellencamp
It was so good. I had like, four of them.
Tamra Judge
Delish.
Teddy Mellencamp
Anyways, Lish.
Tamra Judge
But okay, let's talk a little bit about Mormon wife.
Teddy Mellencamp
A little bit. There's a lot.
Tamra Judge
I am curious on the edit that we've gotten from Michaela, because I loved her in person.
Teddy Mellencamp
I loved all three of them.
Tamra Judge
I did, too. But the Michaela we get kind of like this, like, meek version of her that doesn't say much.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tamra Judge
Real life. I feel like she was the boss.
Teddy Mellencamp
She was.
Tamra Judge
I. Was I missing something there or was. She was kind of like the one they all. I don't know.
Teddy Mellencamp
So you're thinking, like, she doesn't really get too involved or she's not very outspoken on when she's filming.
Tamra Judge
That was so far, what we've seen.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, but don't you feel like some people are so different on camera than off camera?
Tamra Judge
Yeah, but she was filming the pod with us, and she didn't mind doing that. But I also was like, you know, What? I remember how I sometimes came out.
Teddy Mellencamp
And I was like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Sometimes some people. You know what's so funny is the people that you think are the absolute meanest on TV or actually the sweetest. And the ones that are the sweetest are usually the meanest.
Tamra Judge
I know it's wild, but it starts out where they're back at Miranda's house for happy hour. Taylor claims Miranda's ex husband Chase was obsessed with her after she told him she had a sex dream about him.
Teddy Mellencamp
Why would she tell him that, though? That's like your friends. I don't know. A different, I guess different circumstances since they were soft swinging.
Tamra Judge
I think it would been one thing if she said it in front of a group. Like, oh, my gosh, the creepiest thing happened. Like if I said it. If I had a sex dream about Eddie.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah. Can you please not tell me?
Tamra Judge
I. But I would if I was going to tell you.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, you would tell me.
Tamra Judge
I would tell you and Eddie at the same time. I wouldn't just tell Eddie.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know. I had a crazy dream last night.
Tamra Judge
What was it? Were you having sex with me?
Teddy Mellencamp
I had a dream. No, not yet. But I had a dream that I was at the reunion and I'm all dressed up and Andy walks into my dressing room. He's like, I'm sorry, we're not going to need you. I'm like, but what do you mean? He's like, yeah, no, we need to kill it. Bye. And I'm like, oh, my God. Fired again.
Tamra Judge
Fired again. But this time before the reunion even starts. But that's the funny thing about dreams. But like, yeah, saying it to a man alone when you know your friends.
Teddy Mellencamp
Inappropriate.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, it's crossing a line. But anyways, Miranda felt so swinging. Yes, Miranda felt betrayed by Taylor because she didn't tell her any of this. But she was telling all of their mutual friends. Taylor was the villain when the swinging scandal first came to light. So she has empathy for Whitney. Whitney who? I forgot about Whitney at this point. I know who's.
Teddy Mellencamp
She's busy being pregnant.
Tamra Judge
She's busy. She's booked and busy being Pragues. But meanwhile, Jesse's confused so she's going to invite Miranda and Chase to her Halloween party.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, my God.
Tamra Judge
To cover the truth.
Teddy Mellencamp
J. I like that the girls are like to Miranda, why are you back? And then Taylor's just get straight to the point. Long story short, why are you here, Miranda?
Tamra Judge
Well, what about this fact Jesse. Inviting. How inviting? Chase.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, she's working overtime to cause drama by inviting Ran.
Tamra Judge
Why isn't she the middle Mormon this season?
Teddy Mellencamp
I don't know. We haven't seen the whole. We haven't seen the whole show yet. Have you seen all the episodes?
Tamra Judge
No, not yet. Then Layla, Jesse, Michaela and Demi are shopping for Halloween and Stagecoach outfits.
Teddy Mellencamp
I have a question. Yeah, we go any further? StageCoach was like two weeks ago.
Tamra Judge
That's what I'm saying.
Teddy Mellencamp
Buying Stagecoach outfits in October of last year.
Tamra Judge
But do we know this is actually October?
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, they are. They had a Halloween party, remember? They were.
Tamra Judge
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
So they needed a reason to buy cute little.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, is it just a reason for them to talk about Stagecoach? Because possibly they film their season three, and if.
Tamra Judge
Even if they're not filming their season three, all of them are going to be there, which is going to cause more drama that they're going to end up ultimately talking about. Yeah, but I liked it. I appreciate it. I was fine with it. Layla's excited to dress up, considering she recently got a boob job and is dating someone new. Her boyfriend Cameron grew up Mormon and his dad is a bishop. Just so you know, I looked up the definition. A bishop is the leader of a local congregation.
Teddy Mellencamp
I wrote the same thing.
Tamra Judge
Known as a ward. They are similar to pastor, priest or rabbi and other denominations.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay, thoughts on Lila's new boyfriend?
Tamra Judge
Thoughts are. Girl needs to get a orgasm soon.
Teddy Mellencamp
Do you think this is the guy that's gonna do it?
Tamra Judge
I think a bishop's son. It might be a little tricky.
Teddy Mellencamp
Might be.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, you might want to go outside.
Teddy Mellencamp
You might need a magic mic.
Tamra Judge
You might need to go outside of somebody who's the bishop's son to get that out.
Teddy Mellencamp
Might be a good idea, but who knows? Closet freak.
Tamra Judge
Who? No, the girls talk about Jen and their thoughts on Zach moving back in with her. None of the girl think he's a changed man like she claims. Somebody says something in one of these first two episodes that really hit me.
Teddy Mellencamp
What?
Tamra Judge
I get people not want. Not liking somebody's significant other. But what is it to them if Jen wants to stay with him?
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, that's a burning question across the board.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Teddy Mellencamp
You get what I mean? Well, I guess it's really nobody's. It really isn't. I mean, you can voice your opinion and be protective of your friend and be like, you know what, you could do better or something like that, but at the end of the day, you're gonna do or I'm gonna do. Or she's gonna do whatever she wants and date whoever she wants.
Tamra Judge
And people say, then. Then why is she talking about it? I'm like, well, we'd be pissed if she wasn't talking about it. And we didn't know this side.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, I have big problems with this right now. In this episode. I have problems, and we're gonna get to it. But you should be able to vet to your friends. I am a strong believer that when you, you. You don't say really negative things about your sp. When you're mad at him to your friends, because then they start judging and start, you know, having their own opinion about them. But, like, I know if I talk to you, yeah. And I tell you something that's going on, it's not going anywhere and you're.
Tamra Judge
Not judging, you know, but this is on tv.
Teddy Mellencamp
But if I go and do that on Housewives, you bet your sweet ass everybody's going to judge.
Tamra Judge
But if you did it. But I think it also depends on the friendship level. If you did it to me, if we were filming something and you did it to me and you told me some. Some positive and some also shitty things. Yeah, Eddie, I'd be like that. That makes me kind of annoyed at Eddie, but I still love him, and I've seen that he's done blah, blah and blah. But I support you whatever you decide.
Teddy Mellencamp
As a friend, you have really good advice. Like, I have a ton of friends, but you are the one that always has, like, probably one of the best advice. You and my friend Heather.
Tamra Judge
Oh, Heather's good at advice, too.
Teddy Mellencamp
She's good at advice, too. So, you know, it's like, you know what friends to go to. If you're going to a friend that's like her life shit, and you know she's going to, like, now.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. And also everybody's life has a little bit of shit in it. But then Dakota, Zach, Jordan, and Brett are fly fishing. This seems like a sport I wouldn't be that into.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, no. It seems very Southern charm.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Dakota tells the guys how things are going with Taylor right now, and it's not good. Then it's Zach's turn to tell the group how he and Jen are doing. Brett asked Zach how he would handle the chippend now, and Zach just admits his wrongdoings. They're really trying to trap Zach here. And Zach isn't going to last long pretending.
Teddy Mellencamp
No. How about Zach admitting he's getting death threats for the way he treated his wife? And Dakota said the same Thing, like, oh, yeah, I'm getting the death threats, too. Like, oh, social media. You're just a real doozy.
Tamra Judge
Well, they were acting like. Not that anybody deserves.
Teddy Mellencamp
Nobody deserves a death threat. But Zach. I'm going to say Zach bugs me more than Dakota.
Tamra Judge
Well, I think the problem is Dakota is just, I think, toxic in all the ways, but I don't think he's trying to control her.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, but don't you think he's trying to redeem himself? You know, like, when he did this whole stuff, he. It was in the very beginning of their relationship. And I feel like now he's like, loves being a dad and trying to make things right. As of now.
Tamra Judge
No.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Until we get to. When we get to the party.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yes. Yeah. He's like, oh, you lied to.
Tamra Judge
Then Jesse and Demi are meeting up with Zach at a coffee shop so he can formally apologize.
Teddy Mellencamp
The weirdest coffee shop I've ever seen. I'm like, are you.
Tamra Judge
That was the first of all.
Teddy Mellencamp
Are you in Big Bear? Are you in some loft? Like, where are you?
Tamra Judge
This also didn't really need to happen for me. I don't think he needed to sit down with those girls. I don't think it. He's saying they're spreading lies about him and he was gambling away his medical school tuition. All this actually ended up doing for me was. Made me believe, not trust Jen very much.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, but see, I thought the other way. I thought, what is he doing? Is he throwing his own wife under the bus? And why are these girlfriends that didn't like him 5 minutes ago all of a sudden siding with him and questioning Jen? Because they do flashbacks. And what Jen says is not anything horrible. It's not like it's. It's. It's not like she's like, he's a narcissist. It's like he's doing better. But, you know, there is this narcissistic tendencies and things like that, but they're, like, weaponizing everything she says.
Tamra Judge
But Demi and Jesse insist that Jen is the one who told them that Zach is a narcissist.
Teddy Mellencamp
But then when they do the flashback, she says she. She. It's very softly said.
Tamra Judge
It's like he's a soft narcissist. He's.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, he. Yeah, yeah. He tends to have narcissistic behavior or tendencies or something like that.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Teddy Mellencamp
And it's not like he's a effing narcissist. I don't know. I just feel like she was talking to her friends, venting, upset but also.
Tamra Judge
I think Jen letting her. I think Jen letting Zach do any filming on his own. Not a good plan. Not a good plan.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, no.
Tamra Judge
She should have been there micromanaging that.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, they talk about major or major truth in this conversation. And I feel like it was the convo was all. And her friends are now taking Zach's side and twisting Jen's words. And I. I don't like that. Like that girl.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, see, I know, but I don't know if they're twisting her words or not. I think they're both. I think she, because she wants people to like Zach, says certain things to her friends and then different things to Zach because she's worried about upsetting him, which I completely understand.
Teddy Mellencamp
She's a people pleaser.
Tamra Judge
Right. But I think where the girls have issues is that she's completely pulled away from them. So my guess is she completely pulled away when they weren't filming, and now they're filming again and now she's back in action and it pissed them off.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, I could see that. Because didn't she make a comment? I haven't talked to them since Vegas, which Vegas was end of last year.
Tamra Judge
And so I think they think that she's using us solely to be on the show. Then Taylor goes over to her parents house for their barbecue. Taylor's mom is still in touch with Chase and Miranda because she was their real estate agent when they were still married. Then Dakota gets there, everyone sits down to eat. Taylor's extremely quiet and closed off, and Leanne calls her out for it. Taylor's dad tells them they started their relationship on a foundation of shit. I mean, I love a foundation of shit.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, it was. And if you remember last season, he didn't. They. The parents did not like Dakota at all.
Tamra Judge
I barely remember the dad filming last season.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, he did, like, I think one scene and he was with Dakota. He was with Taylor and the mom. And like, we don't like this guy. What are you doing? This is too soon. And now it kind of seems like things have shifted now that the baby's been born.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Now they're like, we got to figure this out a little bit. But then Taylor gets riled up telling everyone at the table that Dakota would her. Leanne gassed. Every time she said, would you talk.
Teddy Mellencamp
Like that at dinner in front of your parents? I mean, she said it multiple times. I mean, I softened it and just said like, he would come over and be intimate with me. Like, I. I don't think I could.
Tamra Judge
I've said things like you are off or those. That's different things in front of my parents. But I've never said like a guy's.
Teddy Mellencamp
To me, oh, God, I don't even want to hear it.
Tamra Judge
Especially since her parents are still part of the church.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, her dad really seems like he's really into.
Tamra Judge
Well, I mean, well, he, he.
Teddy Mellencamp
How many times have you said and all these things?
Tamra Judge
I'm like, oh, well, he's a little bit judgy wudgy.
Teddy Mellencamp
Jeremy asked what that says about Taylor, considering she had sex with Dakota after hanging out with them two or three times. Taylor calls herself trash and starts crying now. So there. I saw a lot on social media that her dad was like, slut shaming her. And do you, do you think that slut shaming or listen, girl, you met him two times and you were having sex with him.
Tamra Judge
Well, I think there's different ways of phrasing things.
Teddy Mellencamp
Was it what he said, how he said it?
Tamra Judge
I think it was how he said it. I think if, you know, you had sex with somebody two times and I said to you, Tam, what do you expect? It's not like that person's in a relationship with you. It's, you know, you've had sex two times. Right. It's very different than the shame added to it. I was. I wouldn't be shaming you at that point. I would be like, hey, tan, get your head out of your ass. This is what's happening. Right?
Teddy Mellencamp
I think her dad's a little. His bedside manner is not very nice.
Tamra Judge
I do think they could do a scene where the therapist should. Should sew this scene to other parents to say, like, these are the things not to do.
Teddy Mellencamp
As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm not wasting money on pieces I'll only wear once or for just one season. Quince changes that their clothes are timeless, lightweight, and far more elevated than anything else. At this price, it finally feels like my wardrobe matches my standards. Like a hundred percent.

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.
Tamra Judge
Then. And Taylor's confessional. She admits that she does not see her self closing the door on Dakota anytime soon. I don't think these two have any interest in breaking up even though they're constantly breaking.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, I don't. I think they do have. I think that they can make it. I think that they started their, like her dad said, on a foundation of shit. And she was just getting out in a relationship and she jumped into this. He was, wasn't he just recently recovering something? I don't know what it was, but I. Okay, so Taylor is. I don't know if this was acting or this is truly her personality, but she's like literally squinting her eyes and pushing on her eyes and squinting and there's not one tear that's coming out.
Tamra Judge
I think she's so frustrated. We have to also remember she has a baby.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, like that's a lot. How about Taylor's dad asking her, are you going to be slutty Gretchen?
Tamra Judge
Bloody Gretchen.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, because she was going to dress up as Gretchen from. Was it.
Tamra Judge
Oh, Gretchen Wieners.
Teddy Mellencamp
Gretchen Wiener. I have never watched lunch.
Tamra Judge
I. It makes me upset every time. I just want to put a paper up and get mad at you.
Teddy Mellencamp
I know, I need. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Taylor's sister is definitely the more mature one in the entire family.
Tamra Judge
Well, she's just said no words so she, it was hard.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, she, she had some at the end. She's like, listen, I think you guys need to separate. You need time. Like she was kind of the voice of reason. And then Taylor's look alike mom was just Sitting there.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, that's true. Then Zach back home after his time with Jesse and Demi. He tells Jen all of the negative things she supposedly said about him behind his back. Jen claims all she's done since Vegas is stick up for Zach and his behavior, despite how stupid everyone made her feel it. Jen wants to have a conversation with the girls because she feels like they're trying to pin her husband against her. I'm actually really getting over this conversation altogether.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, I don't know. To me, Jen seems sweet. I think there's another side to her. I think it's going to come out. Like you said, Zach turning this on his wife is so annoying. But I also love that Jen's not putting up with it. She's like, no, no, no, no, no.
Tamra Judge
But I can't tell if she's not putting it up, up with it for camera play. And then the second the cameras break to just her getting it and she's taken it.
Teddy Mellencamp
Maybe. I don't know. But if I were Jen, I would never say a word about my marriage to these girls again.
Tamra Judge
No. And then it's two days, but I don't even think she has to. I think the way he behaves is so obvious. But it's two days before the Halloween party, but Jesse and Jordan's house is completely decked out. Jesse and Demi decided that Brett and Jordan would do a Chippendales performance at the party. Messy Jesse is inviting Chase, Miranda and Taylor to her party. Jason, an actual Chippendales dancer, has flown in from Vegas to teach Brett and Jordan a choreographed dance, which I could do without seeing again.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, maybe Brett, but not Jordan. I didn't need to see Jordan.
Tamra Judge
I don't know. Brett took it very seriously. Yeah. But then that same day, Jen and Zach over to Jesse's house to speak with her. And to me. And Jen admits that Zach did not gamble away his money from medical school. Okay, so what happened then? How do we get confused on this?
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, we need to know. There's a couple things that we need to know from this family. Are you related to the Afflecks? And how much money did you gamble that your parents gave you for med school? Because I gotta believe med school is pretty damn expensive. And I don't.
Tamra Judge
I would guess med school's like $40,000. Is my guess.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yes. A year?
Tamra Judge
Yes.
Teddy Mellencamp
I think it's more.
Tamra Judge
Is that not counting living or anything like that?
Teddy Mellencamp
As a parent that has put kids through college, you don't give the kids the money and they pay for their tuition.
Tamra Judge
Well, unless you're trying to teach them their.
Teddy Mellencamp
Is that guys out there let us know. Is that how you do it? Like it normally, like the money goes straight to the college.
Tamra Judge
And maybe the confusion is that he got some kind of trust and he was able to use it however he wanted. But he used. But the way she kind of broke it down last year was that she paid for him to go to med school with her influencer money. But that conversation doesn't seem to be coming up right now. According to Google. Yeah, you're right.
Teddy Mellencamp
About 60,000. I mean, it really depends on what school you go to. There's a huge difference in different.
Tamra Judge
Well, anyways, then Jesse and Demi are confused because that was one of their biggest concerns last season. And then Jen says she felt unsupported by the girls, but Jesse reminds her that she texted her and sent her voice memos. That would be like me being like, I haven't heard from Tamara recently. I feel very unsupported from of her. Meanwhile, Tamara checks on me almost every.
Teddy Mellencamp
Day and how I don't always get a response.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. How responsive I am is how I'm actually feeling. But you're checking on me because you really actually care, not because you're looking for a response.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, no. And I, I just. To me it's more about. I want you to know that I'm thinking about you. Yeah. And I know that not always, you know, and you've told me, like we had this conversation when I saw you and I don't want to cry, but I'm like, I miss us. Like, I miss us. You know, things are different and it's not the same and it's expected to be that way. And. And you said to me, you're like, I really don't reach out to a lot of people right now, you know, And. And it's like I know that obviously you're going through a lot and being at home and being with the kids and, you know, in your health is the most important thing, you know, and it's just things are different.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Things are very different. But it's because I'm saving my energy and everybody's different. But, like, I'm saving my energy for when I can see you in person. Yeah. For being able to do this. Like, there's only so much. So I know, like before I used to be a big phone call person and I'd be like, let's goss. Like, let's get through the end.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, I'm don't Miss the voice note.
Tamra Judge
Damn it. I know, I know.
Teddy Mellencamp
I actually do.
Tamra Judge
But I actually do. You know, Jen didn't miss the voice notes either, because Jen didn't even responded to me's voice notes. Rude. And then allegedly, they get into this. Allegedly. After Italy, Brett was crying to Demi, but Demi denies this. And demise confessional. She says that Marcia Marciano was very flirty with her in the Villa, but she feels like she handled it the best she could.
Teddy Mellencamp
Let me ask you a question. Did you. Do you watch Vanderpump Villa? Did you see the episode?
Tamra Judge
I saw the clips. I didn't watch it. I watched it last season and recapped it, and I didn't feel the need to do that again.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay, so that happened last season on we never know.
Tamra Judge
It happened this recent season, the one with Ariana. So there's flirtation between Demi and Marciano. This is the clip where, like, she stands up and her dress is tucked into her underwear.
Teddy Mellencamp
It's not tucked in her anywhere. It's up her butt.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Upper butt. But things.
Teddy Mellencamp
It's.
Tamra Judge
It is really. Whatever. We're gonna find out.
Teddy Mellencamp
Now, what do you think about Jen dropping that nonchalantly, like, don't with me.
Tamra Judge
Well, I think she did that clearly because she's wants to hold it over her head. And I do think I like Demi, but I do think Demi can exaggerate, especially with what we see later. And Demi can also skate around what the truth may be she's good at dodging because she's very well spoken. But it's the day of the Halloween party, and Jen shows off her naughty nurse costume to Zach. She also has a bluey onesie. Then she decides to dress up as JLo and tell Zach he can be Ben Affleck and that's the second cousin. Then you see them going back and forth because Zach's like, no, he's not. And this made me feel very awkward.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, why doesn't she just stop. Stop talking about. Wasn't it a topic last year?
Tamra Judge
Yes, but then last year, the. After the season aired. The what? The inner. The interweb sleuths found out that it wasn't true. So let's stop talking about it.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, she should go on 23andMe and see if she can find anything out. Although don't go in 23 and me. I heard that something's going on there.
Tamra Judge
Well, I. Me too. But also, I think she's gonna look a little bit ridiculous when his family ends up coming on and saying, we didn't tell you.
Unknown
That.
Teddy Mellencamp
That.
Tamra Judge
Because I think that's what.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, if that happens, then she's a liar.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, she's a liar.
Teddy Mellencamp
We just need Ben to speak out.
Tamra Judge
Well, Zach. I thought you were saying Zach, and then I realized you said Ben.
Teddy Mellencamp
Ben, come on. Just let us know what's going on. But it feels. About this.
Tamra Judge
It does feel like both Jen and Zach have a problem with the truth.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Then at Jesse's house, she and Jordan are dressed as JLo and Ben Affleck for the Halloween party. And then Layla and Cameron dressed as race car drivers. Taylor is Gretchen Wieners, Macy's Regina George, and her husband is Aaron Samuels.
Teddy Mellencamp
I don't know any of these people are.
Tamra Judge
I know you don't. And then Michaela is Karen, and her husband is the Burn Book. Demi is Cereal, and her husband is the milkman. And then Zach and Jenner, also JLo and Ben. And then Dakota is the bus that hits Regina George.
Teddy Mellencamp
Jesse is. I mean, she literally is messy dressing up a JLo. And she. She knows what she's doing, but dressing.
Tamra Judge
Up as the better JLo, like, she the hot one. Yeah.
Teddy Mellencamp
Booty. When she came down the stairs, I'm like, damn. But. And then making these comments like, do you think Jen will be mad? We're gonna roast Jen and Zach. Like, she's like, little vindictive. It's kind of. It kind of gives. Let's get her naked, wasted.
Tamra Judge
Tamara loves her, you know? Then Chase and Dakota talk about the swinging scandal, and Chase says the extent was spin the bottle, and he never even had sex with Taylor. Taylor decides to go up to them and see what they're talking about. Chase tries to call out Taylor for saying she had sex dream about him, but she's already admitted that to everyone. Ch claims he didn't have feelings for Taylor and he just said he had sex dream about her, too. Taylor says that's a lie. And meanwhile, Brett and Jordan are upstairs practicing their Chippendales dance. Then the cops show up.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, you know, Chase lost me completely when he looked at the camera and pointed and telling Taylor, say you had a sex dream about me, like he's some prize and she hasn't already talked about it like it was a smoking gun. And little did he know, she's already talked about it.
Whitney Rose
It.
Tamra Judge
She's already talked about it. And also, the one thing that I feel like has been. I mean, I think Taylor's reaction to things can be kind of ridiculous.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, you think?
Tamra Judge
One thing. It doesn't seem like Taylor's a liar.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, I don't think she's a liar. I think she's brutally honest.
Tamra Judge
I think she's brutally honest even at her own detriment.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yes, I. I know the feeling. Poor Hailey Bieber. She just wanted to get out of there. And by the way, she nailed that. She actually kind of looked like her. A lot like her.
Tamra Judge
Oh, she did.
Teddy Mellencamp
She did. She's beautiful. And she's like, I just, like, I went out of here. She's like, bye.
Tamra Judge
I love that you're like, poor Haley Bieber.
Teddy Mellencamp
I know. And if Tay. I. I'm surprised Taylor didn't break Chase's finger off for pointing in her face. Even Haley Bieber is like, stop pointing.
Tamra Judge
In her face, Haley B All. Everybody was real revved up about this. But let's take a quick break and then we're going to come back and get into episode three.

Tamra Judge
So we're on episode three now. We pick back up Taylor, Chase, and Dakota's fight. The momtop girls break them up and de escalate the situation. Layla makes fun of Chase's podcast and calls him Chase the Clout.
Teddy Mellencamp
Chase, what do you think his podcast is about?
Tamra Judge
It was about talking about all the shit that was going on. He was trying to debuff everything Taylor was saying. And then we get into them fighting, and at this point, I mean, we don't even really need to fully break down the fight. I feel like Chase knew what he was doing in this entire scene, and they played into his hands effortlessly. Yeah, he was douchey. It starts to get loud. Essentially, Dakota isn't really having Taylor's back, and Taylor is coming unhinged over in the corner.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, I think that Dakota heard that. I mean, he figured out Taylor lied to him and didn't give him. No. I don't know if it's lying. I think she just didn't give him the information. And now Dakota is just over there just so happy that he caught Taylor in a lie. And I think he's thinking, we're even now. We're even. We both lied.
Tamra Judge
Where you can't.
Teddy Mellencamp
You can't come after me anymore.
Tamra Judge
But she didn't lie.
Teddy Mellencamp
I think it was it about. What were they. It was about the sex dream. Is that what it was?
Tamra Judge
Yeah. But she's like, yeah, what's your. Yeah. She didn't tell Miranda about the sex dream originally, but she told her now.
Teddy Mellencamp
I don't think she told Dakota about it either, but who cares?
Tamra Judge
Because Dakota and her weren't even together then. I'm not gonna go. If I start dating someone tomorrow, I'm not gonna talk to them about sex dreams I had two years ago.
Teddy Mellencamp
I know, I know. But Taylor, she was getting a little out of control. The girls were coming and, like, you need to calm your tits. Like.
Tamra Judge
But then my favorite part is, as everybody's fighting, Chase starts to walk by the group and then says, looks at Demi and goes, where's your husband?
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
And then I watched so many times. I don't see him touch her.
Teddy Mellencamp
I don't either. And if anything, it was like. Like just walking by because they were all smashed in this room and, like, touched her arm like, hey, where's your husband? I don't think that's any big deal. But Brett chasing, coming down and going after him like, you're 47 years old, dude. Like, you're the oldest man here. Like, why don't you ask questions like.
Tamra Judge
Why don't you ask quite. Why don't. And also to me, why did you run upstairs to tell him that? It was this. Like, you could say he's being an to everybody.
Teddy Mellencamp
And yeah, that's a different conversation.
Tamra Judge
And he alluded to the fact that you're cheating on me by saying, where's your husband? Like, to me, that's what he was doing.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, see, I didn't take it like that. I just took it like, hey, where's your husband? No, but so let me. Yeah, let me ask you this, because it was talked about in a. Like an after show or an interview or something. So it was all right for Demi to have Jen in a chair and have a guy grind all over her, but yet if Chase walks by and touches her arm, that's off limits.
Tamra Judge
But I think what actually pissed her off was not that Chase touched her because she backtracks on this anyway. She's like, well, maybe he was just being blah, blah, blah, you know, like she changed her story.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
I think what really pissed her off is if you re watch this scene, Chase is like, they're all talking about other people's husbands and cheating and swinging and blah, blah, blah. And Chase looks directly at her. I don't think touches her. I think maybe TR to squeeze by and says, where's your husband?
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh.
Tamra Judge
Which is kind of like, goes along the lines of like, let's talk about the husbands.
Teddy Mellencamp
Let's talk about the husbands.
Tamra Judge
Let's talk about the husbands then.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay, I didn't. I didn't show it like that, but, yeah, I get it now.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, the cops show up. Chase knew, you know, Chase knew it was time to go finally. Because he didn't really know. Everybody's like, get out of there. Your girlfriend's already. Haley Bieber's already left. Your ex wife is telling you to go, the cops are there.
Teddy Mellencamp
How did you like it when Demi goes, have you ever seen the secret lives of mormon wives to the cops? Oh, no.
Tamra Judge
And the cops are like, no, Messy Jesse.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, is it messy Jesse? That's who it was.
Tamra Judge
Messy Jesse was trying to get out of it. And she's like, by chance, have you seen secret?
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, we're just filming a little reality show here.
Tamra Judge
It was so good. But then to lighten the mood to me. And so this. The cops are gone. To lighten the mood to me and Jesse decide it's time for the Chippendales performance, which was very awkward.
Teddy Mellencamp
Before we get there, let me ask you a question. When Jordan. When he started. Take ownership. Take. I'm like, what are you doing, dude? Do you just need camera time right now? Like, Chase was literally trying to apologize.
Tamra Judge
Yes. Because when you just said Jordan, I didn't know who you were talking about.
Teddy Mellencamp
The husband, clearly. I know now, but Chippendale husband.
Tamra Judge
I know, but that's why he need. We needed a little bit of Jordan action because I had totally forgotten about him.
Teddy Mellencamp
He was literally. Chase is literally apologizing when he just comes out of nowhere screaming, take ownership. Like, both of those guys, go put your shirt on. Put your shirt on.
Tamra Judge
Take off that little tiny bow tie. Bow tie. And let's try this again.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamra Judge
Because they got so angry about it, especially when they weren't there to see it. They don't. I know.
Teddy Mellencamp
They don't even know what happened.
Tamra Judge
But, you know, of course, it gets the mood really lightens up when they decide to give a lap dance. But this is the one time so far that I could agree with Zach. I also was cringing at this laptop.
Teddy Mellencamp
I mean, as they. You know, the guys were coming out, and they put Jen in the chair. You know, Demi is setting up Zach and Jen, no doubt. And Jen is giving her this stare like, please don't do this to me. Please don't do this to me.
Tamra Judge
She already knew.
Teddy Mellencamp
She knew, but she didn't know she was gonna sit in the chair. She looks like it's one thing to watch it. That'd be a whole different conversation. But to be sitting in that chair and be singled out. Was there any other girl up there?
Tamra Judge
No. And they knew it was gonna make her awkward. It'd be one thing if all the girls were up in the chair.
Teddy Mellencamp
You're right. Like, no, they. They did her dirty. And I think Zach was more pissed off that the girls did that to his wife than the actual dancer up there shaking his booty.
Tamra Judge
True. And I'm starting to get the vibe that, like, you're into Zach and Jen a little bit.
Teddy Mellencamp
Like, you're like, I. I mean, I don't. Zach needs to prove himself a little bit more.
Tamra Judge
But Jen, so far, he undoes his good work.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, I'm sure he does. I. I'm not in it for. I mean, I don't. I don't with him. But her. I just feel like she's just young. She's. What is she, 20? She's young. She's sweet. She's trying. She's trying to talk with her friends. They're using against her.
Tamra Judge
She's only trying to talk to her friends on camera, which is a problem. But then Michaela is with her family on Halloween night to get away from the mom talk drama. They of course show her like filming like a 45 minute mom talk. And then with the background, like, I just love spending time with my family. And then they're like, take 477.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah. Let me ask you a question. Mom talk.
Tamra Judge
Yes.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay. I don't follow them. I better. But on Tick tock, do they get up there on tick tock and talk about mom things or they just dance? I don't get it.
Tamra Judge
They do. Well, it's just like tick tock. But they do things that other moms would relate to.
Teddy Mellencamp
Like what? Are they having conversations?
Tamra Judge
Because they only like the Halloween costumes and it's all jokes and all of their talk kind of relate to each other and morph back to each other. But there's dancing. There's, there's. It's not like a TED Talk. It's tick tock.
Teddy Mellencamp
I know. Okay. I just feel there was more about. Because they're like us moms. Like, it's all about positivity. And who is it? Whitney. Like, I really want back in mom talk. And I'm like, what do you. Wait, you want to dance?
Tamra Judge
Money? No, she doesn't want to dance. She wants money. Then Michaela's with her family again and they're talking about how she was sexually abused for four to five years as a child, but she didn't realize it was going on until she was about 15 years old. On Halloween in 2015, she finally told her mom what was going on and she felt like her mom didn't believe her. This was heartbreaking.
Teddy Mellencamp
That was very heartbreaking. And I can't imagine as a mom, like, second guessing your child is telling you this.
Tamra Judge
What she told us is she, you know, has to work from the inside out versus she was always working from the outside in. And I thought that that was a really good point. And it. What made me love Michaela. And I think that her story is going to help a lot of people. And I hope that we get to learn more about it because last season we didn't hear anything.
Teddy Mellencamp
But yeah, that when, when stuff happens to you and you internalize it, it. It makes you sick, it gives you cancer, it makes you have autoimmune issues.
Tamra Judge
Like, it comes out in different ways for everybody.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Jen and Zach are on a walk. They both seem angry about the Chippendale situation that happened on Halloween. And then Zach would that Brad or the girls at Least reach out to them and ask if they're okay before doing it. At this point, Jen maybe could have said, they did reach out to me and let me know.
Teddy Mellencamp
They let her know that they were going to have Chippendale's dancers. They didn't let her know that she was going to be in the chair.
Tamra Judge
Right. This is where it's all a fine line. But then jazz act tells her they're shitty friends. So now she feels like she's forced between her marriage and mom talk. But then this is where he loses it it when he decided he's done with the conversation and tries to break the fourth wall and tell production he's done doing it. And then she's like, no, you're going to sit down right now and we're going to do this right now. And what we have to remember is at this point, we're still believing that he's trying to reconcile with her, that she hasn't forgiven him. But then shortly after. Oh, it just gets bad. But that's where we leave it. They cut the cameras. They finish up. And then we get to Whitney's home video where we see Conn and her arrive at the hospital. She's in labor. She has the baby. They show it. There's nothing really to report here.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, I mean, I just have. Yeah, congratulations. I do have a question. I mean, obviously those are home videos and I mean, who do you think actually blurred out the spread eagle? Do you think it was production or do you think it was her husband?
Tamra Judge
It was definitely production because.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Remember when she had everybody eat that cake? I forget what the cake was. Oh, is the cake. Last season she had everybody eat a cake, but it had her pee stick in it.
Teddy Mellencamp
It. Oh, that's right. She's like, the lids on it, it's sealed. Ew. No.
Tamra Judge
Sick. So clearly production had to step in for this. Then some of the Momtop girls get together at the pumpkin patch. Jen has been off the grid and Jesse doesn't mind. Miranda shows up with her kids. Jen and Miranda have been getting really close. Then we get to Taylor and Miranda stay back to talk while the other girls go into the corn maze. I hate a corn maze. For the record, weird.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Miranda says the farthest she ever went with anyone was kissing. But this is where we learned a lot. Taylor clarifies that she never met sex. She just meant they were all doing things together. And this is where a lot of things. They had sex in the shower.
Teddy Mellencamp
I want to know how big that shower is.
Tamra Judge
I want to Know if you've done.
Teddy Mellencamp
Don't drop the soap.
Tamra Judge
Thumbs up if you've done any of these things. They had sex in the shower and.
Teddy Mellencamp
It grew as it grew. Yes, exactly. I've never had.
Tamra Judge
I'm saying thumbs up if you have.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay, I thought you meant you wanted me to. Thumb up if I've ever had group sex in a shower.
Tamra Judge
I'm going through the entire list of five. So thumbs up if you've done any of these five things. They had sex in the same bed at the same time. You've never had sex with other people? With another person in the same bed as you? No, I did when I was younger.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, I didn't.
Tamra Judge
Like, we had one room and it was like one person was on one side of the bed and the other person was on the other. The other couple was on the other side of the bed.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh, you're talking couples.
Tamra Judge
Couples like we own. We only had. They're not mixing. Having sex with each other. They're just all having sex in the same room. You've done that, Tamara.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, I swear I haven't. I haven't. I honestly haven't.
Tamra Judge
Oh, my gosh.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay, I am old and I have a lot of the ears on me, but I. Not that.
Tamra Judge
I never had sex in a room where somebody else is having sex. No, I feel like you're confused by the question, so I'm gonna ask it.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, I know that. I'm not an idiot. I know the question. I'm just saying.
Tamra Judge
No, hold on now. I need to know. Maddie and Tara, have you guys ever had sex in the room where somebody else has been? They both said no. Am I a hose beast?
Teddy Mellencamp
You're a hose beast. Yes.
Tamra Judge
Oh, yeah. I wish Matt was here. Matt's out of town. Kaden. Kaden, get out.
Teddy Mellencamp
He's out of town, too.
Tamra Judge
Damn it.
Teddy Mellencamp
We're on our own today.
Tamra Judge
To make it clear, I didn't have sex with anybody else's boyfriends while.
Teddy Mellencamp
Don't try to backtrack.
Tamra Judge
Ever.
Teddy Mellencamp
God.
Tamra Judge
Fine. I kind of feel like Taylor misled the extent.
Teddy Mellencamp
Did you blindfold each other, too?
Tamra Judge
It was like after a party. We all were in one hotel room and we all had had sex.
Teddy Mellencamp
I feel like a lot of alcohol was involved in this.
Tamra Judge
Yes. And I'm not going to give a shout out to who it was.
Teddy Mellencamp
Was. It was Ben Affleck.
Tamra Judge
Absolutely.
Teddy Mellencamp
Not Matt Damon?
Tamra Judge
No. Then it's. They would blindfold each other and have to guess whose husbands they were kissing. I have not done that.
Teddy Mellencamp
I've never Done that.
Tamra Judge
I have never done that. They also had a night where the four husbands and Taylor and Miranda and the two guys filmed the two girls making out. Haven't done that.
Teddy Mellencamp
I'm shocked that the videos haven't leaked, but. Okay, so Miranda, do you think maybe. You know, obviously, I don't know if you want to call it denial, but she's probably extremely embarrassed about what went down. Maybe she doesn't want the public to know everything. And it. I don't think it really makes her a liar. It's maybe like, I really don't want this out there. There. Like, now it's going out there, it's gonna be out there forever.
Tamra Judge
I have children. I have a church. I wish her original statement was, I don't want to get in the middle of this.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah, she said that. She said I should not have denied it.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. I think where she denied it made it so much bigger than it was. Because clearly, looking at this, I mean, would I do all of these things? No, Clearly I've done one of them, but I wouldn't.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
So, no, I would admit to any of them if any of the others happen. I make people pick who they think the hottest husbands are all the time.
Teddy Mellencamp
You do?
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Like, I would make you pick who the hottest husband of. I wouldn't say OC because it's too close to home. But think about it. If we watch other shows, like, if you had to pick somebody from the Valley who's the hottest, that doesn't mean I'd go on a romp with them. But then, anyway, let me say one.
Teddy Mellencamp
Thing about Taylor, though. When she was talking to Miranda at this time, she. She admitted. She goes, I wasn't a good friend. I was not a good friend friend.
Tamra Judge
And I like. And they both handle it for me.
Teddy Mellencamp
I can respect someone like Taylor, and some people might be like, oh, she's too harsh or whatever, but she's honest.
Tamra Judge
And I think she was at her breaking point, and that was her way of getting out. And when she decided she was getting out of her relationship, I think that's when Miranda really tried to dig in and see if her relationship could work. So they were saying anything to save it. And then she realized, I don't want to step back. And then Haley Bieber took over and is now in the same situation.
Teddy Mellencamp
Good luck, Haley Bieber.
Tamra Judge
So we.
Teddy Mellencamp
When we interviewed the girls last week, they did not care for Miranda. Right.
Tamra Judge
Well, I think they said Miranda didn't really bring it.
Teddy Mellencamp
Is that what they said? Miranda didn't Bring it. Or they're like not a big fan of hers because as of now, I really like Miranda. I think she's absolutely beautiful. I feel like she's very sweet, but let's see what happens.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. I think she. I don't know that she's going to bring it, but it's a story that we needed to hear. I just don't know what the story will be afterwards.
Teddy Mellencamp
The story time.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Yeah. Then Macy and Taylor visit Whitney to check in on her postpartum. We flashback to when Macy and Whitney met her recently to confront their issues. The two of them were texting when Whitney decided to post their text messages on Tik Tok. Whitney.
Teddy Mellencamp
Posting personal text messages. Like in a fight like that, to go after somebody on the talk on the talk is not very cool. I mean you can't trust a friendship that's gone that far to do something like that. Like if you're text. You're posting a text message like between me and you, like, oh, I love you. Did it at whatever. Sweet things. But to make somebody look bad.
Tamra Judge
No. Dirty also. Then we get to the next.
Teddy Mellencamp
But I'm sure I'll do it this year on the show.
Tamra Judge
But I'm sure I'm gonna do it too. Right. When we get off this phone call. Right then Jen went to the store to get a pregnancy test. I'm gonna say this, with all these pregnancies, if these women don't have a life supply of Clear Blue Easy. And also like, like full time. Millions of dollars.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah. That's the first thing I thought of is when she pulled that out and they zoomed in on clearance. What's it clearing?
Tamra Judge
Clear Blue Easy.
Teddy Mellencamp
Clear blue. And I'm like, oh, definitely. She has a sponsor or the network does. Somebody does.
Tamra Judge
I wonder if it's part of LDS that you can't use birth control.
Teddy Mellencamp
Kind of looks like it.
Tamra Judge
Or if they just all use the pull up. I mean once, you know, I don't know. I have a lot of questions. But either way we find out that Jen's pregnant. She's. Before she even takes. Finishes taking the test, she's crying. She feels isolated from the girls. And I mean this is the last.
Teddy Mellencamp
Thing she needs right now. Not only like is she only 25, she's got two little kids.
Tamra Judge
She's got two little kids and she's trying to decide if the husband should come back or not.
Teddy Mellencamp
Does the husband work?
Tamra Judge
He dropped out of med school.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay. So he's not bringing any money.
Tamra Judge
Which is originally the point. This is turning into a show. And now we have another baby and we don't have. I. I can't. It's too many.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, so she's making money off the show and off of.
Tamra Judge
Here's the wild part. Mormons can use birth control. The church, the lds, does not have an official policy against birth control. In fact, the church encourages couples to pray and counsel together to make decisions about family planning that are in line with their religious beliefs.
Teddy Mellencamp
So. So they're being irresponsible.
Tamra Judge
I. I did some.
Teddy Mellencamp
Yeah. You know that you're not in a good position, so why would you let this happen? Why would you?
Tamra Judge
Well, I don't know. Especially when you find out this. I did some digging and found out that Zach used to sell bug spray before he went to med school.
Teddy Mellencamp
Oh. Like door to door.
Tamra Judge
So I think Jen's always been the breadwinner.
Teddy Mellencamp
And Jen's main income is mom talk.
Tamra Judge
Correct. And these posts.
Teddy Mellencamp
But. Okay, so how many.
Tamra Judge
That's why she has to get closer.
Teddy Mellencamp
How many girls are on Mom Talk that are on this Tick Tock?
Tamra Judge
The girls that were watching on the show.
Teddy Mellencamp
All of them are on my. Because Whitney's.
Tamra Judge
I don't have some homework.
Teddy Mellencamp
No, I don't. Whitney said she wants back on Mom Talk.
Tamra Judge
I know, because she was just doing her own talk.
Teddy Mellencamp
Miranda's not on Mom Talk. So there's got to be like. Is.
Tamra Judge
They're back on now what we're watching is them asking to be back on, but right now they're back on.
Teddy Mellencamp
Okay, I'm gonna go down the tick tock rabbit hole.
Tamra Judge
I need you. Okay, good. All right, well, guys, everybody go down the TikTok rabbit hole and let us know your thoughts. And let me know if I'm the only one that did that thing in the hotel room with another. Even though it was with the person I was with. I just need to know if it was just me because everybody's pretending this has never happened to them in their life.
Teddy Mellencamp
Well, I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go back from this head of mine, you know, because I barely remember what I did yesterday and see if I can remember if it.
Tamra Judge
Well, it's fine. I already texted Eddie to see if he. That's ever happened for you guys or. Just kidding. All right, guys, thanks for tuning in for another episode of Two Teas and a Pod.

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, enjoyment. 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.
