Tone & Overall Takeaway

Teddi and Tamra’s commentary is equal parts snarky, honest, and insightful—mixing lighthearted banter with sharp reality TV analysis. The episode underscores recurring themes: financial dependency, marital miscommunication, and the absurdity of reality TV dynamics (“pay my rent!”). There’s clear affection for the cast’s entertainment value, yet the hosts never shy from calling out toxic patterns or absurd justifications. For listeners who love Housewives or “Shahs of Sunset”-style drama, this recap delivers both laughs and real talk.

This is Special Agent Riegel, Special Agent Bradley Hall.

[B]

In 2018, the FBI took down a ring of spies working for China's Ministry of State Security, one of the most mysterious intelligence agencies in the world.

[B]

Two T's in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[A]

Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of two T's in a Pod with myself, Teddy Mello

[B]

Mellencamp and Tamara Judge. Hey.

[A]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. So, okay, I just want to imagine how annoyed you would be if you went down to sit at lunch and

[B]

RJ with Vicki and. And Shannon shows up and then my purse gets taken so I can't leave.

[A]

Yes. Or apply new lip gloss.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, it was a pretty smart move on rj. I mean, I'm growing to really like him. You know, he gets on his social media and does like, some like, inspirational stuff for what I don't know you have to go. Look, he thinks he's like, a therapist. I don't know. It's weird.

[A]

Maybe he should team up with Amanda.

[B]

Oh, my God. That'd be a great couple. And then they can add Tony Robbins in there too.

[A]

Oh, my God. Yeah. Might as well get it all going. But they're at lunch. RJ leaves sky and Tana to chat alone after he's put them together without them knowing. And I. I legitimately don't think they knew the other one was. Was not coming. Was.

[B]

I don't either. I do not either. Because I think that a Sky probably would have not gone. She's very stubborn.

[A]

Sky. Her bitch face is better than any face I've ever seen.

[B]

It comes from inside.

[A]

Like, she is not messing around with that bitch face. Like that is. It puts your bitch face to shit.

[B]

Well, I mean, Tanner was apologizing, and sky just does not know how to say sorry. It's just not going to happen.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, she feels bad that everyone ganged up on her and she apologizes for telling Reza about the serum situation. But then sky takes no accountability. She's still justifying that she put the. I gotta say, I watched this closely. I don't remember her putting any of that serum on her face before she rubbed it on her dog.

[B]

She didn't.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Which makes it kind of worse now that I think about it.

[A]

Yeah, like, she just put it on her dog. Like, if she's like. I didn't see a moment where she was, like, using these fingers and, like, dabbing it on and doing all the things that people do when they put on serums. I didn't see any of that. Yeah, but she still gets into talking about if she bought her jewelry at wholesale or on deal. Like, she's just not getting it.

[B]

No. How about the flashback where it shows Tannen was right and Reza did start the conversation.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

I love them flashbacks.

[A]

But I still don't think it was, like, a major gang up.

[B]

I don't think it was a gang up at all. And I don't think there she had any reason to go from like 0 to 60 that quick and then to go off on Reza like that and.

[A]

And now we're gonna have to see all these split up. She's very angry, but I'm not gonna want to see. I don't need to see her husband attending events and fighting her battles without her. Yeah, yeah. Like, I don't need that.

[B]

I also don't need to hear Tommy burp anymore.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

It's like he's either talking about or burping. It's like, could you imagine? That's your husband. You put him on camera. That's all he talk.

[A]

Want him on camera more.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Surprisingly. Yeah. But before we even get to that, sky is like the woman who will hit you with the car and then blame you for the damage.

[B]

Yes. Huh.

[A]

That's like. That's exactly who she is.

[B]

She's the type that would put you in her trunk and then go with everybody trying to find you.

[A]

Sky, can you please tell me if I know you? Because I'm 99. Sure. We've done a workout class together. You had. You brought your body jewelry there, and I really liked it. And then I realized how expensive expensive it was, and then I chickened out and didn't buy it.

[B]

Oh, hell no.

[A]

Because then I was like, so obviously you have.

[B]

You have.

[A]

I really feel like in my heart of hearts, I've met her, but I don't know. It wasn't.

[B]

You left a lasting impression on her,

[A]

but it was in the Valley.

[B]

Huh.

[A]

Maybe I'll get in Tannen's Discount.

[B]

Good luck with that. I think the price just went up now. But who's more insufferable, Tommy or Sky?

[A]

The problem is sky is just doing problems to herself. I think sky is just creating her own shitstorm that she lives in, and I think that Tommy is hurting Mercedes.

[B]

I also think Tommy's freaking funny. He's got this little element of funny to him, I think, just getting to know from the past episodes where he lost his mom, he was homeless, he slept on a park bench in the Bronx and all that stuff. I think that sky is just annoying. Yeah, annoying. I think Tommy's a little bit troubled,

[A]

and I think Tommy truly doesn't want to be with the group.

[B]

No.

[A]

Where she wants to just be big.

[B]

Well, we're. We're hearing, like, more of what went down, and he had to go to anger management. It was like, a whole year process of. Did he go to jail? And all kinds of stuff. Stuff that happened between him and Reza. Yeah. So I. I wouldn't want anything to do with him either.

[A]

But did you notice even when he brought something to one of the houses, he, like, so quickly put it, like, on the side of the curb. Like, he couldn't even walk it any more forward. Like, the orange juice was like.

[B]

But I don't remember what. What happened. Like, was it Tommy's fault? Was it Rez's fault? Like, both their faults?

[A]

Like, because I don't know, but the, the part that I took from this conversation was Mercedes talking about how she's having to manage their income.

[B]

Well, I think that's a big problem. I think that she's the money maker in the house and I think that she resents, starts to resent him for not bringing an income.

[A]

Well, I think if you're the money maker, you also have somebody who won't go anywhere with you. You also have somebody that's constantly burping and farting and doing whatever all over you. Like how often is he kind and nice to her? Like, where is the warmness? There has to be some sort of intimacy there for you to want to be in that relationship.

[B]

I think that he uses humor, but

[A]

that gets old all the time.

[B]

Yeah, he has a hard time expressing himself, I think, and a hard time emotionally. So he just uses his disgusting humor, thinking it's funny.

[A]

Like it parts are funny. Like he does make me laugh, but then it's like I want to see a little bit of softer side. Especially when you see Mercedes upset and you can feel like she's hurting. Also, he didn't even offer to help paint that room one bit.

[B]

No, he didn't. You're right.

[A]

Even the high parts,

[B]

he's a hard worker, that guy.

[A]

It feels to me, it feels like the fight is truly because Mercedes wants to be back on TV and he doesn't.

[B]

I think so. But I think this, from what I've heard, it's been a long time. Like the demise of their marriage has been going on for a long time.

In 2023, a story gripped the UK evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, A villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby.

[B]

Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But.

[A]

But what if we didn't get the whole story?

[B]

Hi, this is Jo Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast where we talk about astrology, natal charts and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver.

[B]

The Irish traveler said when I was

[A]

16, you're gonna have a terrible time. Actor, storyteller and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom loving and different perspectives and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius like are misunderstood. A Sun and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different

houses, in different places, but just in

[A]

a embracing of the isness of it all.

Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you listen to your podcast. Sky and Bombshot have dinner.

[B]

Oh my God. This is one of the worst fights I've seen between a married couple. The things they said to each other,

[A]

the way she like each other.

[B]

No, no, it was quite obvious right there. I mean, it's like Sky's trying to punish him.

[A]

She says she's mad because he doesn't stand up for her. He apologizes, but she says she'll be mad for the rest of her life. Could you. The rest of her life? That's a long time.

[B]

I can't even stay mad for like a week.

[A]

I mean, I. If I said the rest of my life, it might be a short time, but.

[B]

Shut up. Shut. The rest of her life.

[A]

It could be a very, very long time.

[B]

Well, she thinks she's boss of this relationship. She's acting more like an entitled princess.

[A]

Have we seen her kids at all or. No?

[B]

Yeah, we did in the very beginning. But not, not the twins. She has the twins. A little, like a little bit older. Not tiny. Tiny, but not teenagers. But the, the entitlement. When she doesn't. I don't, I don't. Just. She didn't come from anything. Like she didn't have money. I'm sure she's comfortable now, but just the things she says, like, didn't. Didn't Tannen say, like it's the way you talk to people and saying like, what was it?

[A]

Well, Tannen said like, you know, I give her grace because she came over here by herself. She had to build everything.

[B]

Yeah, but you should be humble, Right?

[A]

That should make you then.

[B]

The opposite.

[A]

The opposite. Instead she's. But I don't know. Remember at the very beginning when they said they never even wanted to get married? They didn't believe in marriage.

[B]

It was in a marriage of convenience. Maybe, but when your own husband is saying, you've always been self centered, that's not good.

[A]

No, you've always been self centered. I'll be mad at you for the rest of my Life. Sky wanted to cuss him out so badly. The only thing stopping her was the cameras.

[B]

Well, they had. They had some choice words in there. And she's like, don't you ever talk

[A]

to me like that again. She. I mean, and she's got her hat on and it's tipped just perfectly. And she is. She is not messing around.

[B]

He's afraid of her.

[A]

He's afraid of her. She seems like she's. Her drink order would be, can I have a vodka lemon?

[B]

3 if I have to hear that 3 limes squeeze carcass out.

[A]

Then she's like, at least you take me to a nice restaurant this time.

[B]

I know she's not. Yeah, whatever. We should have take her to the weed cafe with Gigi and Reza and mj. They were just smoking out like nobody's business.

[A]

But I don't think Reza was smoking.

[B]

Oh, that's right. There was so much smoke. You don't know who had it in there. Who was lit up.

[A]

Gigi, Reza and Mercedes. They all go to the week weed cafe. Gigi tells them about the house she wants to rent for 14,000amonth. She tells them she's going to ask Dennis for 3,000amonth to help.

[B]

I love when she said he. I was married to him for a week and he cheated on me. He owes me alimony.

[A]

He owes me, like, only Gigi. Like, seriously, only Gigi can get away with going from. Get the fuck out of here to help me sell my dildos and pay rent.

[B]

Right, right. And it's like. It's just like the worst possible decision ever. Ever. Being married for one week and you

[A]

think you deserve alimony and this $3,000 a month, she's still paying a ton of money.

[B]

11,000. Yes.

[A]

I wonder if 11,000 is what her dad's paying right now on her current place.

[B]

Probably it. I can't with her. I.

[A]

Then Mercedes tells Gigi that the Twilight open house is at her sister's house and Gonessa says she can't make it.

[B]

Well, I. Why does she expect her to make it?

[A]

I don't know, but. Well, the way that Gigi flipped that conversation on Mercedes and was masterful. She's like, well, is Tommy going?

[B]

I know, she's good.

[A]

Yeah. She's like, oh, Tommy's not coming. Well, I'm not uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable going, too.

[B]

Well, do you think MJ is wrong for using Gigi's sister's house as a spotlight on the show?

[A]

I don't think she has another option.

[B]

So, yeah, so it's her only listing, right?

[A]

Yeah, well, because we see even scenes from next week where Mo comes up and he's like, well, I mean, it needs a redo. The lighting's not great. The walls are not great. Yeah, it didn't do the show. I mean, it's not like it did the house any favors.

[B]

It's probably still on the market.

[A]

Y. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

But, yeah, she definitely was not going, but she.

[B]

Wait, was. Was the sister there? Yeah, she was there. Okay. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, the sister was there. Then Amir and Natasha talk about birth control.

[B]

This was interesting. This was a different conversation for the two of them because we've only seen them being in emotional situations, talking about his ex, you know, his wife that passed away. Then we had the psychic medium there, talk, bringing the wife through. And now it's like, no, you go on birth control. No. You get sniffed. No, no.

[A]

I'm like, no. Why are you curling your hair right before bed? That's what I.

[B]

Okay. I thought I was losing my mind. I'm like, is she curling her hair to go to bed?

[A]

That's what I couldn't. I was like, are they going out now?

[B]

She's shaving. When he has a beard, I don't know what he was shaving. Maybe trimming things up. And then she's curling her hair, and I'm like, do they, like, fake that this is night? Like, they're going out now?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What are they doing?

[A]

What are they doing? Like. Or she. To curl her hair. She can sleep on it, and so it looks better. I mean, we need to know, does she have. Wear it like the kids do these days with their hair and the. In the wraps?

[B]

Well, the thing is, is, like, Natasha did deliver three kids. Cesarean. You can go get a vasectomy. Okay, man up. Go take your balls in there and have them fixed.

[A]

But I understand what he's saying.

[B]

That's what I was gonna say.

[A]

On the flip side, you know, he says, my ex, you know, who passed, she so badly wanted kids. And so I've the idea of me.

[B]

And they were trying to have kids when she passed away. So he's like, it is. I think it's a little traumatic for him.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I think it's gotta be a lot traumatic for him. I think that every day there's probably a trig.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because if they. You know, I don't think it's that he doesn't like. I think he loves Natasha. I think Natasha loves him. I think they're the best people on the show.

[B]

Yes, I'll agree with that.

[A]

I think. I mean, I don't.

[B]

You sure MJ and Tommy aren't.

[A]

But I don't think that they've had some of the hard conversations that you need to have. And I. If I were to be kids, if I were a betting woman, they're going to get pregnant again.

[B]

I think so, too. And then also, like, I know I can't even put myself in that situation to be with somebody that lost, you know, their wife. But at what point do you stop feeling that weirdness or for him, like, the overall sadness he goes through all the time.

[A]

I know. What about when she said, I'm going to start going with you to bring the flowers once a year? I don't know that I would. Would you do that?

[B]

I would like to know that I'd be invited. I don't know that I would go. I'd be like, if that's your moment with, you know, your loved, your lost one, like, then have it. I don't need to be there. But then it might change him as a whole and be like, okay, we're all three in this. Like, maybe it would help him move on. Yeah. You know, I mean, obviously he's never going to forget her. His first wife.

[A]

No. It's a sad. It's a very sad situation.

[B]

But he now has. He's remarried and has three kids, so I. How long has it been since his wife passed?

[A]

I mean, it's gotta be at least eight years.

[B]

Yeah. And I think if you're the other wife and always feeling like you're maybe second choice or something like that, it could be hard.

[A]

It could be hard. And you always wonder, you know, does he love me the way he loved her?

[B]

Right. That'd be a hard thing to carry around.

[A]

It would. Hi, this is Jo Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology, natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver.

[B]

This MSS officer has no idea the US Government is onto him, but the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the 6th Bureau podcast.

Then MJ and Tommy paint a room in the house.

[B]

You mean MJ paints the room?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Tommy watches and burps. Is waiting for the fart next.

[A]

We forgot to talk about the text.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Reza sends a text at the beginning when they're at the weed shop, and it's just pretty much like, I'd love to see you again. How are you? Blah, blah, blah. Because they're all upset that he's not going to be anywhere with. With mj. And Tommy responds to the text, which surprised me.

[B]

I know, but he also said something along the lines, like, after filming the show, you know, we can maybe get together to make amends. Not just for the sake of the show. Like, he wants to do this, like, face to face. He's afraid if he does it on camera, it'd be all fake.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I see that.

[B]

I mean, as viewers, though, we want to see it. We want to see the. Sit down.

[A]

I mean, that's what I was going to say. I'm sorry. The only way that Tommy and Resinita be together is if it's with cameras.

[B]

Yeah, well, we know how that ends.

[A]

Yeah, we know how that is.

[B]

Not well.

[A]

Then Amira and Natasha throw their party. Reza tells everyone that Gigi is asking Dennis to pay for her part. Didn't he learn his lesson the last time?

[B]

Reza, he's messy. That's why we love him.

[A]

Tells everyone that Gigi is asking Dennis to pay for part of her rent. Bombshell shows up to the party without sky. And Mercedes says she should be on the outside, too. But she still thinks sky should have shown up, I think.

[B]

I mean, didn't sky and Tannin make up? Is there? Was there?

[A]

No.

[B]

So that. That whole conversation that they didn't end well. I know.

[A]

That whole conversation, it just ended in like, okay, we're both.

[B]

We can be cordial to each other.

[A]

Yeah. Like, I think it ended well.

[B]

Even if you're cordial, like, you could still show up.

[A]

Yeah, but then she has to talk to everybody else that she's been fight. She's still fighting with her husband.

[B]

She knows she's on a TV show.

[A]

Did she miss the memo? Because if we're gonna have to keep going to events and she's not going to be there, and we're gonna have to. And her husband's there recapping with Ramshad, then what's the point?

[B]

Well, this is the problem. If she doesn't show up, then she's going to Be iced out of the group even more. And it's going to give people more reasons to sit around and talk about her.

[A]

Well, all I can say is it made. All of a sudden George's weddings feel like the best wedding ever. Their marriage. For a while, remember, we were worried about them. Now we're not.

[B]

Not. Not anymore.

[A]

Not anymore. And I kind of thought when we first started watching sky that she was exaggerating for cameras. Like, she wasn't actually sleeping in a separate bed. Like, I thought she was kind of like a try hard.

[B]

No, we are learning. Like, this is her and this is what she's revealing. Could you imagine what 100 is going on in that relationship?

[A]

And he's just such a puss.

[B]

I think he's learned. Pick your battles. She's probably like a freaking tornado when she's mad.

[A]

Yeah. But, I mean, he. He sits there and he talks and he's like, you know, I made a mistake. I didn't have her back. And. But also, like.

[B]

But he did like as much as he could. If you're wrong, you're wrong. If Eddie's wrong about something, I can't, like, sit there and subscribe to that and go, yeah, you know. No, I would say, no, babe, you're wrong.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If you can't do that in a marriage or a friendship, then what. What is that?

[A]

Yeah. Then you're constantly. It's. It's just not feasible to believe that your partner is going to always agree with you. And she was in the wrong. Yeah. And she did it rudely to multiple people. I know, but I thought the party with the kids was nice.

[B]

Yeah, that was nice.

[A]

I think that seeing Gigi with her son every. Like, seeing everybody with their kids. Stupid.

[B]

Johnny said stupid. Johnny said stupid. And she's like. Well, just say. We don't use those type of words. Yeah, she's over there. Motherfucker with her joint.

[A]

But I think those kind of things are cute. Like, seeing all the kids together and like, that they all do have a relationship together, which is wonder one. My wonder is, like, if maybe sky was like an. An implant later on, possibly. Was the other Reza. Was he there?

[B]

He was. He just. He left with the purses, and we never saw him again. Thanks for the bags, girls.

[A]

I'm out. I think he came to the party for a minute, but he didn't get involved.

[B]

I'm so trying to figure this guy out. Like, I need to see more because seven minutes. He looks like the biggest douche lord. He looks like the boy. He looks like the. The. The peacekeeper. Like, he is. He wears many hats in this, and

[A]

he's always on dates. We've seen him on two dates so far.

[B]

I have a feeling he's got a really good heart. Like, I feel like he's. He's a good guy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Guy. But he's. He's something else. That's for sure.

[A]

He's just trying to make some good tv.

[B]

But I like to take those chains off and button his shirt up, and he'll be just fine.

[A]

What about what you're doing? It's mom getting on. Involved with the lifeguard.

[B]

And you know that he's, like, this close. Like, he's a quarter of an inch away from going, get the. Away from me. Yeah. He's like, yes, I am a lifeguard.

[A]

I teach kids swim lessons.

[B]

Yes. And she's like, well, shouldn't you be over there?

[A]

He's like, no, no, they should be here.

[B]

But that's the deep end. It's like they're in the deep end. Get them out of the deep end. The kids are over there unbothered.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They're over there splashing in the water.

[A]

They're over there 16, swimming perfectly.

[B]

I know they're doing backflips off the diving board, Water spitting out of their mouth as they're floating in their back. But I.

[A]

The show is winning me over. But I still. I still want to know. I am going to freak out if we end up finding out that Gigi gets money from Dennis.

[B]

I think she's gonna get it, and I think it's going to be written off as, like, a business expense. That's how he's going to do it for the dildos. Dildo. Yep. It's dildo money.

[A]

Oh, because she's gonna.

[B]

You heard, a hush money. This is dildo money.

[A]

She's gonna need to film in the house.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So she does film herself using the dildo. Or is it, like, when?

[B]

I hope not. That's a whole nother network.

[A]

Well, she's on Only Fans, too.

[B]

Well, maybe she's. Maybe she's promoting her dildos on Only Fans. I mean, it would be the smart

[A]

thing to do, because I feel like you've. You've promoted a sex toy before, but you just held it. I know, but you just held it.

[B]

But you, too, could feel the vibration.

[A]

There's three different modes.

[B]

There's three speeds, and it sucks, too. I would never do that again.

[A]

I didn't do that one. But I did. I know I did.

[B]

I think we got it offered around the same time. And I'm the dumb one?

[A]

No, but either way, I'll take that five grand.

[B]

Ten grand, whatever it was. I can't remember. That was funny.

[A]

Yeah, well, it's a good show. And I wonder if she's gonna get that 3,000. But if she's gonna go for 3,000 bucks, why not go for more?

[B]

Four at least four.

[A]

Like just, you know, just go for 5,000amonth.

[B]

Yes. Or why don't you ask for 10 and then you pay the four?

[A]

Yeah. Or why not? Let's look for a boyfriend.

[B]

I mean, is 3,000amonth going to be that big of a deal?

[A]

That's what I'm saying.

[B]

You have 15 or 14,000amonth rent.

[A]

And that's not even counting expenses.

[B]

She. She's got one child

[A]

and so many bedrooms.

[B]

I know. It doesn't look like Reza lives in some big old house.

[A]

No, it doesn't.

[B]

Why does she have to? Why does she have to?

[A]

Because Reza has one little small closet, and she has four bedrooms of closets.

[B]

I do, too.

[A]

That's frightening to me.

[B]

Every closet in the house, all the spare bedrooms have my clothes in them. And then I have three rolling racks in here, and

[A]

I'm sure it looks amazing.

[B]

It's a problem. And all I wear is sweats. Yeah.

[A]

And then we wear the same thing.

[B]

I buy things and I just hang them up. Oh, I forgot I had that. Bye. Bye.

[A]

This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
