Two teas in a.
Honey German
Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamara Judge
Hi Gu.
Teddi Mellencamp
Welcome to another episode of Two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamara Judge
Hello. Hello.
Teddi Mellencamp
Hi. What's going on?
Tamara Judge
I've missed you.
Teddi Mellencamp
I've missed you too. I've been away. I've been away and by being away, it's just I've been trying to get myself back in check. I'm feeling a little bit better this week. Yay.
Wilmer Valderrama
Yay.
Teddi Mellencamp
So it's good. And I'm starting this new thing starting today, any day that I'm home, I'm going to move my body for 20 minutes in some capacity.
Honey German
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Just don't overdo it.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. That's why I jumped in 20 minutes and I did like 20 casual minutes on the bike and already I'm feeling a little bit better.
Tamara Judge
I like how you said 20 casual minutes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes, 20.
Tamara Judge
How casual were they?
Teddi Mellencamp
They were quite casual. I feel like so much is missed and something that I know I'm not really allowed to talk to you about. You know, just talking about it. But there's a different Tamra that I know than what I saw on episode one of the reunion. Like, I think like, you're so warm and kind and loving and like, well.
Tamara Judge
Housewives is not about warm and kind and loving. I know. Let's just get that out of the way.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. But I want people to understand that, that there is a different side. Like, people are like a rogue. First episode, you went a little rogue. First episode, you seem to sit on.
Tamara Judge
The edge of the couch and be quiet.
Teddi Mellencamp
You had a bee in your bonnet about Shannon. And I couldn't figure out why.
Tamara Judge
I'm just a ball of love.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's all.
Honey German
I.
Tamara Judge
You know what it is or was, is that the whole season for me was so difficult to film. You know, my headspace wasn't there. I didn't want to be there half the time. I was quitting all the time just because I was just. I was in a good headspace.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And I've never really been like that before, you know, filming. And it was just difficult. And then now I'm like, wait, you guys. I felt like we're not really all there for me during this. I need girls. I can. Salt Lake City. I want to have fun. I don't want it to be like, oh, damn, she's so horrible.
Honey German
Come on.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's been out to get me.
Ebay Ad Representative
No.
Tamara Judge
Enough of me forever. She fought with everyone. Well, listen, I've been on the show for 15 years. If I haven't fought with everybody, then I'm not doing my job.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then she's not doing a very good job. We need a little bit of fighting.
Tamara Judge
But.
Teddi Mellencamp
Which brings me to.
Tamara Judge
But I need a little fun, too.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. I need a little fun. So you know what? I'm happy if they bring Vicki back.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
But I have to say, now we're recapping Southern Charm this episode. I was, like, elated.
Ebay Ad Representative
Me, too.
Teddi Mellencamp
I loved watching it. I don't know what it was.
Tamara Judge
I watched it twice.
Teddi Mellencamp
This is so good.
Tamara Judge
There's very few shows that I can watch twice. Yeah. And I watched it twice, and I thought it was good. And I thought it was. You know, it's not like Housewives, where it's screaming and yelling and throwing things. It's just a different type of.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because they're being 100% authentic to who they are.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Whether they're complete shit shows, liars, cheaters, drugs.
Tamara Judge
I mean, when Austin said he wanted to get. When Austin said he wanted to get pregnant so he could keep his drinking in check, I almost died.
Teddi Mellencamp
But two of our producers said this episode was a nightmare. So I'm like, what am I watching that they're not watching?
Tamara Judge
I enjoy it.
Teddi Mellencamp
I love it. Who's your favorite?
Tamara Judge
Talk to me about episode four.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. We may feel differently, but it was just.
Tamara Judge
I don't know. I think.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because when we watch so many Housewife episodes, then when you watch something else, you're like, oh, okay. This is how. Because there's just certain formulas that different reality shows can get.
Tamara Judge
It's just a different formula, and I like it, and I love the, the Southern accents. I love the way they dress. I love, you know, Madison's sweet little accent and the things she says cracks me up. I don't want nipple cream from you, Austin.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know she didn't want no nipple cream.
Tamara Judge
I don't want no nipple cream from you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, it starts off with the show where Austin calls Madison. Madison is in her third trimester and she's throwing a baby shower.
Tamara Judge
Do you love her honesty? Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you out. But she's like, I hate being pregnant. The only people that enjoy it are liars and sociopaths. I'm like, I'm with you, girl.
Teddi Mellencamp
I am with you. I will suck. Third, that I completely agree because Madison then goes to Craig's house. Craig says he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most, referring to his ex girlfriend, Paige DeSorvo. I really want to break this down.
Tamara Judge
A little bit because I think Craig needs to get off Instagram because his comment where he said, she wants to be the villain, she wants me to be the villain in her story. I'm like, I've seen that on Instagram so many times. I know where you got that from.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, we know. Like, I've seen it with like little music being played too. And like it's not even. It's probably AI.
Tamara Judge
Well, I gotta believe just from this, this clip alone that Paige is like, oh, hell no. Somewhere she's going, oh, no, I'm not getting blamed for this.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, I remember I went back and watched some of Summer House and she's like, I don't even believe there was a ring.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, they said that on this episode too. They did a flashback of it. I think it's the reunion or something. And do you think there was a ring?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know because they all talk about what a big liar Craig is, but since we started watching Stacy.
Honey German
But.
Tamara Judge
He'S just so cute. He gets away with it, right?
Teddi Mellencamp
I know, but did he have a.
Tamara Judge
Little bit of a glow up?
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, I think just because he's single, he just looks like.
Tamara Judge
Well, also hair is tousled, his smile's.
Teddi Mellencamp
Big, he's more confident. Yeah, I think he was feeling, I don't know, I mean, maybe that. Drinking again.
Tamara Judge
Maybe he's just drunk. But I did, I did appreciate when he said that he really wants to start to get to know women before he gets intimate with them.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, he's learned that now that it's been six or seven months, he's really probably gotten his. He's like his Body count is high.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, it's not good to bone him on the first day.
Teddi Mellencamp
Craig.
Tamara Judge
Okay, what kind of girl you look.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like till the second?
Tamara Judge
Yeah, at least the second. So Craig started dating a girl like pretty quickly, right? This Natalie girl, who is she?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know. I mean, here's the thing about Charleston in the south, there is a plethora.
Tamara Judge
They all each other. That's what it is.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. There's a plethora of like naturally beautiful women.
Tamara Judge
There is.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
I mean, the guys are too, but I just can't. I have a hard time with the high waisted pants and the belt and the shirt tucked in.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, see, I grew up with that, so that's all I know really. See, I'm used to that look.
Tamara Judge
Gotcha.
Wilmer Valderrama
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I think if I live.
Tamara Judge
There, I would be used to it. But if Eddie tried to tuck shirt, like. No.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, first comes to worse, Craig can just be the golden bachelor. I mean, he's almost 37. Oh, he is 37.
Tamara Judge
37 years old. And he's really worried that he's aging out. No one's gonna want him. I definitely think he's the guy that gets better looking as he gets older.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Which is because my glam girls. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna call you out. Michelle and Chelsea, they talk about him all the time, but I'm trying to think.
Teddi Mellencamp
I feel like I've met him before a couple times, and I have. I. I've never felt that when I've actually been in his presence.
Tamara Judge
He's nice, he's charming. I don't know. He just. Maybe it's because Michelle keeps telling me.
Teddi Mellencamp
So you're saying he's flirting with you, but.
Tamara Judge
No, no, no, no, no.
Teddi Mellencamp
Rude.
Tamara Judge
No, he wasn't flirting with me at all.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was like, chef probably nice.
Tamara Judge
He's nice. Chef flirts with everybody. I think he has flirted with me before. Way back in the day, right after my facelift. He thought I was much younger. At least 28.
Teddi Mellencamp
He's like, you know what? For a one timer, this will do.
Tamara Judge
He lifted his. His age from 24 to 28.
Honey German
That's the.
Teddi Mellencamp
28 years old I can't.
Tamara Judge
But oh, my God, I have kids that age.
Teddi Mellencamp
Shep goes shopping for the baby shower with Austin. Shep says his dating life is active and his age rate has increased, which we just talked about. And then Austin talks about his relationship with Audrey. He gets frustrated when people ask him about their future and marriage because they haven't even talked about it themselves. Do you think it's rude to ask somebody about a couple, about marriage?
Tamara Judge
Yeah. I mean, if it's your close, you know, your family or friend, you know, close friends. Like, hey, you know, how's it going? I mean, how long have they been dating?
Teddi Mellencamp
There has to be some sort of discussion about it. Even if it's, I'm not there yet.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. Maybe he just doesn't want to give it up. I had to laugh at Shep's word vomiting as he walked into the store and was talking to the girls. And they're just. He's just. You know, and this. They used to date each other, and they just look at each other and they're like, awkward. So awkward. So funny that they said that.
Teddi Mellencamp
What about when he picked up the rocking horse? The little rocking horse? And they're like. He's like, oh, this looks nice. Shoot. But it's expensive.
Tamara Judge
$150.
Teddi Mellencamp
And Austin's like, shut up, Shep. Trust fund baby. I know.
Tamara Judge
Cracked me up. But they. Did you see their hats that they were wearing?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Tamara Judge
Austin said, nashville. And I kept. Kept trying to, like, look at Sheps. And I thought it said, I love small wieners. I love small waters or something like that.
Teddi Mellencamp
Or small waters.
Honey German
I don't know.
Tamara Judge
I can't. It was like he kept moving so I couldn't see it, but at first sight, I thought said, I love small wieners.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, then Austin tells him about going to the pool with Craig. He says that Craig took multiple shots. And Austin says he hopes that Craig doesn't continue to turn his drunk dickhead self.
Tamara Judge
You know what? I want to see his drunk dickhead.
Teddi Mellencamp
Self.
Tamara Judge
Get drunk, Be a dick.
Teddi Mellencamp
Get drunk, Start lying. Be a dick.
Tamara Judge
Talk about how you're an attorney and then go sell a pillow. Then go sell me a pillow.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, sell me a pillow when it's your first time and isn't fully done.
Tamara Judge
Well, I was on chat with my glam girls, and I said, on chat. I know, right? And so they. I was saying, yeah, you know what I think?
Teddi Mellencamp
Agree.
Tamara Judge
Craig does look pretty hot. I go, but he lost me when he said he was quilting blanket.
Teddi Mellencamp
And she.
Tamara Judge
She goes, I like that. I go, of course you would. He could. He can alter your clothes. He can alter your clothes, your stuff.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I know.
Tamara Judge
Oh, God, if he starts saying. If he starts crocheting, that's next.
Teddi Mellencamp
I can even crochet. I mean, I used to be able to crochet. I don't know. But I also want to say this is a tip. If there's anybody that is listening to this podcast that is going to baby shower anytime soon, do not spend $350 on a teddy bear for me. Just give me cash.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my God. And not to mention those giant. Remember when Costco had those gigantic teddy bears? Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And they take up, like, half a room.
Tamara Judge
When Eddie and I were dating, I don't know, about a year, he surprised me with this convertible BMW, and the top was off in this gigantic. I mean, it was as tall as me teddy bear. You have to have, like, a special room for it. Like, what do you do with it?
Teddi Mellencamp
And then they fall. It's already falling. Funny. It's not even sitting upright. Night.
Tamara Judge
It's like a bed. It's so big, you can sleep on it.
Teddi Mellencamp
It was probably in his car, like, smushed down. Since he bought it, he'd put, like, luggage on it.
Tamara Judge
But what do you think about Austin trying to talk to Craig about his drinking? Because I know personally that when you start talking about a friend's drinking, it doesn't end well.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, I think these guys have gone through it so many times. Like, we've heard this story from each one of them, like, that they kind of have, like, a really bad year, and then they're like, I'm done. I'm done drinking. And then. Yeah, they come back around, and they're not spring chickens. No, no, not spring chickens. I think just, you know, as long as they keep it somewhat in check, they still get. Can give us good television without ruining their lives.
Tamara Judge
Well, what I do love is that they're like, yeah, I got drinking problem. I got to get my drinking in check. Usually on housewives, it's like, I don't drink.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't.
Tamara Judge
What do you mean, for dui? I do not drink.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't.
Tamara Judge
What?
Teddi Mellencamp
Hold on.
Tamara Judge
Maybe.
Teddi Mellencamp
Maybe I had a glass. I wasn't drunk that night.
Tamara Judge
My thing is, I don't have a drinking problem. I have a drunk problem.
Teddi Mellencamp
Listen, as long as I'm not blacked out, I'm a real peach.
Tamara Judge
The drinking's not the problem. It's the drunkness.
Teddi Mellencamp
What about Molly when she shows up at her hoarder house? I almost.
Tamara Judge
I had so much anxiety looking at all the clutter, and then the. The frozen mouse. She just. I didn't even know they did that. I didn't know either. I didn't know. I mean, I've had people that have had snakes, those big, giant ones, and they would feed them like live mice.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, well, Molly's house is, like, the house you go to and you're.
Tamara Judge
You could probably just.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't need to. You should pull up a.
Tamara Judge
A basket of clothes. There's probably a mouse under there somewhere.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I know. Or another snake. But, like, no, I don't need a chair. I don't need a beverage. I don't need anything. I'll just pick you up. I'll be. Meet you outside.
Tamara Judge
But that later on they show the snake crawling up her stairs.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, no.
Tamara Judge
Last night, yesterday, we got home from Big Bear, and we were home for a couple hours, and I went to go lay down on my bed. And my bed has upholstered headboard, and it's got a ton of pillows. I'm laying there, popping up on the pillows, and I'm on my.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's about to tell me there's a mouse. I'm gonna lay down, and all of.
Tamara Judge
A sudden the pillows start moving underneath. And I jumped up so fucking fast. And it was the dog. He burrowed himself behind the pillows. I had been there for five minutes, didn't even know. And I jumped up. And he pops his head up like, what. What's the problem? Like, you asshole.
Teddi Mellencamp
That would have scared.
Tamara Judge
Scared the crap out of me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Out of me. Yep. Well, I do know things. I don't need a gecko, a snake, three cats and a dog, and a cluttering issue.
Tamara Judge
I was thinking about the smell.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was thinking about, you know who was really struggling? Rodrigo. He was. He was like, girl, he's itching.
Tamara Judge
He's like, scratching. He's like, this ain't good. All this stuff is making me have anx.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like, I don't even know why he stopped by there other than to tell her what she needs to clean up. At first I thought they were gonna have a de hoarding session, but then he was just coming by to catch up, but he never even sat down. He was like, I'm not sitting in this place.
Tamara Judge
Somebody needs to send, like, organizers over there to help this girl out because she's too busy playing her tuba. Whatever it's called. Trombone. I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
They call it a different.
Tamara Judge
It's a different.
Teddi Mellencamp
We gotta get into her crying about missing the tuba performance.
Tamara Judge
Do you?
Teddi Mellencamp
What.
Tamara Judge
What do you think about Molly and Shep?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't think it would last.
Tamara Judge
I don't think so either.
Teddi Mellencamp
Here's the thing about being a great gift giver. When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list, you almost don't want to give it away.
Tamara Judge
That's what happened with my quints. Order everything so soft and well made I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.
Teddi Mellencamp
Quince pretty much has your whole list covered. Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50 when you'd normally pay $200 or more, the kind you'll wear on repeat.
Tamara Judge
Then there's the denim that goes with everything. Silk tops and skirts for when you need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually keep you warm.
Teddi Mellencamp
The Italian wool coats absolute top of my list. They look designer and are made with premium materials. But like everything at Quint's, the price won't make you panic. We're talking way less than other brands charge.
Tamara Judge
By working directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices, and by cutting out the middleman and markups, Quince is able to pass those savings straight to you.
Teddi Mellencamp
I can't tell you how much I'm loving my new cashmere sweater. I will be wearing it a lot this holiday season and getting one for my daughter's slate. Fine. Gifts Gifts so good you'll want to keep them with quince.

Now Vanita shops with Sally for the baby shower. Vanita says after the reunion JT went to her hotel room until 5am and then after that he blocked her and she hasn't heard from him since. Finita talks about Craig's. She says he's a bitch. And then clips are shown of Craig saying he doesn't want to be associated with Vanita and says that she took Paige's side. And Sally says Vanita should have sided with Craig because he brought Paige into the friend group.
Tamara Judge
Well, first of all, are you going to Ms. JT? But he brought so much drama. There's always got to be one villain.
Teddi Mellencamp
He brought so much irritation. I think they're going to do all right without him. But who.
Ebay Ad Representative
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Goes to somebody, look 5am and then blocks them.
Tamara Judge
I just, I mean either he is a royal asshole or there's more to this story.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's what I mean.
Tamara Judge
It's not like a stud. Absolutely not.
Teddi Mellencamp
Absolutely some hottie. But even at the reunion last year she said she would still want to be with him.
Tamara Judge
I know girl is caught up on him. Hopefully she's moved on. But do you think Vanita should have chosen Craig's side?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think if Vanita doesn't know either way then don't get involved. Like it's not like I saw her hanging out with Paige a bunch.
Tamara Judge
That's what I was wondering. Do you know how close they were?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think if she was very close with Paige then. But also I think she could have just stayed neutral.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
It wasn't necessary for her to go to that point.
Tamara Judge
Well, especially. Well I'm glad because they're on a show together so now we got something instantly to talk about. But can we talk about Sally? Did she have a little bit of a glow up too?
Teddi Mellencamp
Her as a brunette is stunning.
Tamara Judge
Stunning. I'm like, she looks so Good. She's always been beautiful, but I'm like. At first, I'm like, who's that?
Teddi Mellencamp
I know, but I remember when she changed her hair color before, I think, the reunion last year. I was like, who is that? Yeah, she. I mean, it just. It's. Don't go back to blonde. Stay here. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
It is so pretty.
Teddi Mellencamp
What do people call this color? Brond.
Wilmer Valderrama
I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Where? It's like a light brown.
Tamara Judge
I'm trying to get there.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know.
Tamara Judge
I'm trying to get there.
Teddi Mellencamp
You ain't there, Tam.
Tamara Judge
I ain't there yet, no. You know who scares me? Who is? Ms. Patricia. She scares me a little bit.
Teddi Mellencamp
She was. She scares me, too. I know. Did she. Do you think she is the one that paid for that baby shower?
Tamara Judge
Probably, yeah. I would think that was her yard, right?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. It was her backyard. Because then, remember, they went into the. What did they call it? The Laird.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know what it's called, but.
Tamara Judge
I mean, it is absolutely beautiful. I would love to have a house like that. When I see houses like that, I'm like, I'm moving to the South. I'm doing it.
Wilmer Valderrama
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
My last question in regards to Vanita. Do you think she even talks to Paige anymore?
Tamara Judge
No.
Teddi Mellencamp
Me neither.
Tamara Judge
Well, probably was last night after the episode aired.
Orangetheory Fitness Ad Representative
Hey, girls.
Tamara Judge
Thanks for having my back. No problem. Anything else you want me to say, just tell me. Just feed me. Whatever. What did he do to you, girl? I. I could see it. What did he do to you? You tell me what he did, and I will stick up for you. Because I'm gonna.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because I need more to talk about. I mean, we don't have JT to argue with, so we need.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, we can't just argue about, you know, the necklaces on the swans are not positioned properly.
Teddi Mellencamp
How did she make the swan necklace longer? I wanted to know. I was like, did you see?
Tamara Judge
It was like, just like a look, like a lay that was plastic, went around the neck and it was way up, you know, royal pair. And so she wanted to pull it down and she wanted to add some real flowers to make it look better. Oh, very detailed.
Teddi Mellencamp
I thought she was just trying to move it down lower on the neck. And I'm like, how did she do that without any more. Have you ever.
Tamara Judge
Have you ever grown up with someone like that?
Teddi Mellencamp
That attention to detail?
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Or. Yeah. I mean, half the moms in South Carolina where I grew up are like that. I mean, you gotta remember that's where Shep grew up. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
I mean, I'm so glad that my mom has a zero, zero opinion about everything. Whatever. Do whatever you want. Yeah, sure.
Teddi Mellencamp
And everybody was like, you would have to be like, Ms. Tamara.
Tamara Judge
Ms. Tamara.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'd have to have my kids be.
Tamara Judge
Like, I love that. Do you do that now?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, no. But I had to call everybody else's parents when I was a kid. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And is it me, or does Whitney look different every single season?
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, does he have. Was it just me, or did he have a mustache? Or did I just dream that I.
Tamara Judge
Remember him having a mustache? I don't know if it was this season now or last season. He just looks different to me. He's always different. He's just like a rebel. Sometimes he's in a leather jacket, wears glasses. Other times he's really put together.
Teddi Mellencamp
All I know is we never talk about wanting to make out with him.
Tamara Judge
But did you notice when Vanita and Sally walked into that party, neither one of them were wearing the dresses they were shopping for?
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, thank goodness.
Tamara Judge
They're like, no, this will look much better on me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
Let's get this one.
Teddi Mellencamp
Let's switch it. Let's switch the baby doll dresses.
Tamara Judge
That's one thing they do on housewives. You're gonna go shopping for the trip.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Wilmer Valderrama
Okay.
Tamara Judge
We get these outfits. No, we don't.
Teddi Mellencamp
Nope. We just try them on. We just try them on. Yeah. I mean, you could tell that they're not been around that long because they were even willing to try them on. Normally, there's not even a try on. There's just a look.
Tamara Judge
I look around look, just so we can talk. Let's just slide.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yep.
Tamara Judge
Oh, this looks good.
Teddi Mellencamp
Let's try it on. Let's walk out and show the camera. Yeah. I was like, newbies.
Ebay Ad Representative
I know.
Tamara Judge
Back in the day, I would try things on now and like, nope, not happening back then. I'd be like, give me that bikini. I'll try it on. And walk out. Now I'm like, no, give me that wetsuit.
Teddi Mellencamp
Give me that moo moo. I'll put that on.
Tamara Judge
The wetsuit and the big old hat. Yeah, wear that.
Teddi Mellencamp
You did wear a wet suit this year. I did. Hot.
Tamara Judge
Oh, I know. So hot in a hot tub.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. I was confused. Was it because you didn't want it to touch your body?
Tamara Judge
Because I just didn't want the cameras to touch my body. I did need them to get a glimpse of any cellulite.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Any saggy skin. I already get enough hate messages. I don't need to be here. You're ugly and fat, too.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, God. People are so beyond the. So all the guests start to arrive. Vanita says she's terrified to talk to Craig because she's seen him yell at a lot of people.
Tamara Judge
Okay, wait a minute.
Teddi Mellencamp
They did flashbacks? I didn't hear any yelling.
Tamara Judge
There was no yelling.
Ebay Ad Representative
And that.
Tamara Judge
That irritated me. And that pisses me off when someone says that. Because.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because you're like, I can yell.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I can yell. But also, everybody yells at everybody on these ships. Everybody yells.
Teddi Mellencamp
But I. I've had certain people speak to me in a way that I've felt uncomfortable about. I've talked about it before with Erica. Like Aaron, Denise's ex.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, well, there was like a certain time. That's gross.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, but, like, then I heard. So I was expecting that kind of tone. And the flashbacks. No, didn't give me that.
Tamara Judge
No.
Teddi Mellencamp
He was like, no, no, you got to get out of here. I'm done with this.
Tamara Judge
I mean, what do we want, guys, on a reality show, we want everybody to be proper and not raise their voice and never tell anybody off. And then they complain that it's boring. It's boring. So raise your voice.
Teddi Mellencamp
What about Sally?
Tamara Judge
Just on out women. Okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
Sally says that Craig looks good, but she is a huge girls girl with Vanita, so she doesn't want anything to happen. She's a girl's girl for half an episode.
Tamara Judge
Sally's like. Like, Craig is hot and he is single, and I am moving on in. So the love we hear later that there's a love triangle. So is that Sally and the new girl?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I think it's Sally and the new girl who we haven't officially met yet. Who know who she kind of looks like. Remember the girl from Summer House that came in for one season?
Tamara Judge
What season was that last?
Teddi Mellencamp
Lexi. Lexi Wood.
Tamara Judge
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
It kind of reminds me of Lexi Wood.
Tamara Judge
Oh, yeah, she does. She's really pretty.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, she's really pretty.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my God, I can't wait for this. I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Also, do we kind of see Austin making out with somebody in the season?
Tamara Judge
So is that his new. His girl? I don't know how. How long he's been dating this girl. You said three years.
Teddi Mellencamp
I. I made up three years.
Tamara Judge
Oh, you made up three years. But we didn't see her last season, so.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes, we did.
Tamara Judge
Oh, that's the same girl. Oh, okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
She came in and, like, had us met with his family. I mean, I think that's last season. It could have been two seasons ago. Because if I watched last season, because I might have been in the. We're, like, at the reunion time of when I started to really go crazy with my tumors. At like, a year.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
When I was all tuned up like, this is We're. I started looking back like, thanks a lot, phone, for reminding me of this date. Last year.
Tamara Judge
I was like, whoa, where were you last year?
Teddi Mellencamp
It's just a lot. God, I can't live in Las Vegas.
Tamara Judge
Oh, you were. I can't believe that. It's been, what, like 10 months now?
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. Almost 11 months.
Tamara Judge
Months. But look at you now. I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, doing all right. Doing all right.
Tamara Judge
Writing books, doing documentaries. Like you're gonna be on Dance with the Stars. It's all coming for you, girl. Oh, yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
I can feel it. Could you imagine?
Tamara Judge
Can you feel it?
Teddi Mellencamp
There's never a year I've been happier not to be on Dancing with the Stars than this year. They are so good. I just looked at it. I just watched them and I'm like, if me or Tam was on the show, we would. It would be a humiliating feat.
Tamara Judge
Well, not to mention that it's also popularity, so people have to vote for you. Like those twats. No, sorry, I'll pass.
Teddi Mellencamp
One, they're not talented at dancing, and two, they bug us. We're not voting for them. Oh, God.
Tamara Judge
We'd be gone first. First episode.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, God. I watched Special Forces too, where Britney quit first episode.
Tamara Judge
Wait, she did?
Wilmer Valderrama
Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
She didn't even make it hard. First day. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Did she get hurt or is she just like. Nope, sorry. Not for me.
Teddi Mellencamp
She couldn't do it. She said she physically couldn't do it. And then second to quit. This is going to be surprising. Teresa.
Tamara Judge
Teresa quit?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
I didn't know. I haven't watched the show. I just know. I know. Thank you. I don't want to do that.
Teddi Mellencamp
I watch with Cruise. We love it. We're obsessed. But, I mean, I know we're late to it, but that'd be a good.
Tamara Judge
One for Eddie to do. He likes that stuff, that military spartan.
Teddi Mellencamp
Couple do it together. You could do it with him.
Tamara Judge
Oh, yeah, I. Yes, sure. I'd probably break all my bones in my new boobs. They pop.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like, didn't Denise's pop? Oh, my God. Yeah. Boob popping show. Well, anyway, Craig. Well, Madison kind of looks at Craig and she's like, well, you wouldn't be into Sally, would you? And he's like, she is beautiful.
Tamara Judge
And she's like, yeah, yeah. The way she did it.
Ebay Ad Representative
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
She was so proud of herself when.
Tamara Judge
Madison was talking to Patricia and she goes, you know, he did a good job with your son. And she's like, yeah, but now, number two, I'm, you know, I'm hearing that it's like tougher or something like that. She goes, I'm hoping this girl is nothing like me. And Ms. Patricia goes, I was thinking the same thing.

Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Twat stars. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay, it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I have sold clothes on ebay and know the feeling of finding the perfect item on ebay. My daughter Sophia is the one who inspired me to use ebay. She loves it as well. We are big fans.

Well then, Molly says Corey Craig's friend is a huge flirt in a boy way and they spend a long time talking with each other.
Tamara Judge
No, he's a no for me.
Teddi Mellencamp
He's a no for me too. I'm not into that kind of hair.
Tamara Judge
That. I was going to say the same thing. If he could just maybe change the hair. I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. I can't get past it. He's trying to give Benson boom vibes, but it didn't work.
Honey German
No.
Tamara Judge
And then him talking about his snake and his tight pants. And I mean, she clearly. Molly clearly knows she said it. He's a boy. He's a boy. Run, Molly, run. And then walk to your snake body.
Teddi Mellencamp
Home bursting when she says, I'm gonna. I need to leave in 15 minutes to go to my thing. And then she doesn't actually leave because she.
Tamara Judge
Maybe she was into him.
Teddi Mellencamp
She was into it, but then she starts crying to him.
Tamara Judge
Is it because she got text messages? Where are you?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, well, she texted them that she wasn't coming, and then they were like. She's like, are they gonna hate me? And the one person said yes or something like that.
Tamara Judge
She's a sweet little nerd. She knows herself. He's a little nerd. She's like, big nerd.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then Madison gets emotional over Rodrigo's gift, which was a painting of a teddy bear. Her baby will be named Teddy after her father.
Tamara Judge
How about Craig's present to her?
Teddi Mellencamp
Craig's present? Well, it looked like it wasn't finished.
Tamara Judge
Quilted her a blanket, I think he.
Teddi Mellencamp
Said, the night before.
Tamara Judge
Oh, it wasn't finished. Or was that the one last. Last baby?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I think this one was.
Tamara Judge
Whose baby shower was it that he gave the a blanket, too?
Teddi Mellencamp
Or the girl who's no longer on.
Tamara Judge
The show, who I know, but who.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is a really pretty one. I'm blanking on her name.
Tamara Judge
They're all really pretty.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's married, has kids. It was before we started recapping the show, but I follow her on Instagram.
Tamara Judge
Because I'm like, was that Matt? Because I thought at first I goes that Madison when she was having her son. No, Madison's been on long enough, right. That she probably had her son Hudson on the show, right?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, she wasn't even on the show then. Oh, okay.
Tamara Judge
I've only seen, like, the last three years.
Teddi Mellencamp
She was, like, from. She started, like, season one and, like, her husband never wanted to be on the show. Oh, gosh. I'll remember it.
Tamara Judge
Like, I really need to. When I have the. When I have the down time. I'm just gonna go lay in bed and rot and watch all the. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
What you're. Now you're a teenager. Bedrot.
Tamara Judge
Bedrot.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, yeah. You're like, soon you're gonna be like, six, seven.
Tamara Judge
Oh, can you explain to me the six, seven? I saw people, even Gina dressed up like her and Travis. Six, seven. And I'm like, what is that? I asked Kayden, who's in mid-20s, and he's like, I really don't know. Like, it's like something new.
Teddi Mellencamp
All the kids know it, but nobody really knows what it is. But when they.
Tamara Judge
It's got to be little kids, because Gina has. Her kids are little.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like all kids.
Wilmer Valderrama
No.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then they're. Oh, well, I don't know. I went over to Kyle's house the other day, and she had balloons from one of her daughter's parties that said 6, 7 on it. Oh, my God.
Tamara Judge
I don't. What does it mean? I think it's a middle school thing.
Teddi Mellencamp
It has no specific meaning.
Tamara Judge
Like, most of what we say.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like this entire podcast, we'll start going.
Tamara Judge
Six, nine, six nine, six, nine. That's the only six anything I know from my era. Six, nine.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you remember when we were younger and we used to be able to do stars 6, 7 on the phone and then you could, like, add more people to the phone call? No phones.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I don't remember that. Wasn't there a star 9 or star something that you can recall somebody. You can call them back if they called you?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, that and I think there was a star 69 where you could get their phone numbers.
Tamara Judge
Was it? Yes. Do you have a landline in your house?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I don't.
Tamara Judge
No, I don't.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you?
Tamara Judge
No, I haven't had one in 15.
Teddi Mellencamp
20 years, but I still remember mine from when I was a kid.
Tamara Judge
Remember those little bracelets? I don't know if the kids still get them. They're little ID bracelets. Silver with a chain and the weird little class on it. And it has like some kind of either Bible verse or something on the top, and you flip it over and it has all your information. Because God forbid, if you get lost back then, the only way you can get home is because of that bracelet.
Teddi Mellencamp
Bracelet's gonna get you there.
Tamara Judge
It's got your. Your address, it's got your phone number. It'.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's got your bad habits. Yep.
Wilmer Valderrama
Yep.
Teddi Mellencamp
But anyways, then it get. The episode ends with Sally asked Vanita to talk to Craig. Venita says she doesn't want to at all. Vanita gets frustrated at Sally and says that she's only a girl's girl until a boy's involved. And then she kind of storms off, and she's pissed that Sally decides to stay at the party.
Tamara Judge
I think that was a little too much for me.
Teddi Mellencamp
I thought it was all friends.
Tamara Judge
They've all been on the show for a while. This is an ensemble cast, and I hate when people try to alienate other cast members from other people because they don't like them. Yes. I'm very stern about that because I'm speaking from personal experience, and if I.
Teddi Mellencamp
Add it in quotes, it makes it more serious.
Tamara Judge
Yes. So I don't like that. I don't like that. When you start alienating and making a big division in the cast, it makes for a screwed up season.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yep.
Tamara Judge
So let her go. I mean, you could. You could say, hey, I don't like it. Not cool. But if that's what you want to do, that's what I'm going to do. But don't.
Orangetheory Fitness Ad Representative
Or get.
Teddi Mellencamp
You grow some balls and go in and have the conversation. Let's get it over with right at the beginning.
Tamara Judge
How many episodes are we going to watch before they get this conversation going?
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, we got to wait until they have a big fight because Sally's made out with them.
Tamara Judge
Oh, so you think, like episode three?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Fully made out. Because, you know, Craig, he's gonna wait now before he gets into now.
Teddi Mellencamp
He's. He's being patient, being very, very patient.
Tamara Judge
But either way, he's looking for the one. But I think him and Sally are cute couple.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know that, but the other girl's.
Tamara Judge
Cute, too, and I don't know her yet, so I have to get to know her a little bit. I like Sally.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know we like Sally. Sally and Craig sitting in a tree.
Tamara Judge
Now, was Sally friends with Paige?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I don't think so. I think she just maybe met her once. Okay, I don't think so. I don't think she's breaking any girl.
Tamara Judge
Wait, were they insinuating that Paige cheated on Craig when they showed, like, flashes of some article about her being with some other guy?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes, but that was always the insinuation once they broke up. But they showed her some sporting event.
Tamara Judge
And I. I love Paige and I follow her, her podcasts and all that stuff. I've never seen her with another guy or talk about one or anything.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's why she. They said, I don't know.
Tamara Judge
Oh, they said that?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I know.
Ebay Ad Representative
I don't.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't think we have any real information on Paige. And because of that, now Craig can run with whatever story he wants.
Tamara Judge
That's what I'm worried about. And she's going to get pissed off and then she's going to say something.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I don't think she will. I think she has a good amount of self, like she can stop herself from reacting. And I don't think Craig has that same ability. All right, well, thanks for. Clearly we like this episode. So thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Two T's in a pod where we recapped Southern Charm.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, guys, if you have not ever watched Southern Charm, you're missing out. You are missing out.
Teddi Mellencamp
Tune in.
