Two T's in a pod with Teddy.
Tamara Judge
Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Teddi Mellencamp
Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of Two T's in a Pod with myself, Teddi Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamara Judge
Good morning, Teddy.
Teddi Mellencamp
Good morning. We are talking all things Secret lives with Mormon wives today. We have so many questions.
Tamara Judge
Do you like that they roll out all the episodes at once?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I want them to do it. I don't need to have all of them out there. I want to do it slowly.
Tamara Judge
The only one I want them to do that too is Landman. Did you watch Landman?
Teddi Mellencamp
I watched.
Tamara Judge
Oh, the new episode's up.
Teddi Mellencamp
It is.
Tamara Judge
It's so good. Guys, if you're not watching Landman, you have to watch it. Paramount. It's on Paramount. We need to get Allie in the hot seat. Yeah, we need the twat seat.
Teddi Mellencamp
The twat seat. We need to get her in the twat seat. Oh, it's on Paramount plus, so I probably means I need to watch it on Amazon Prime.
Tamara Judge
Is it freezing at your house? I'm, like, dressed like I'm in Big Bear right now.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know it's freezing and then burning.
Tamara Judge
Do you like my new aloe fit?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I look like the UPS guy.
Tamara Judge
I'm very into brown right now.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm into brown and beige.
Tamara Judge
Yes. That's all I want, is brown and beige.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's pretty. Brown, beige and black is all we wore at Bravocon. Right?
Tamara Judge
Plums. All the fall colors.
Teddi Mellencamp
I love that.
Tamara Judge
Love them.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's nice being involved. What are you going to do for Thanksgiving?
Tamara Judge
My mom's coming over now. Sophie has got a boyfriend, and so she's like, mom, Nico's parents want me to come over. The grandma's going to show me how to make tamales and all this stuff. And I'm like, wow.
Teddi Mellencamp
Hold on.
Tamara Judge
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Does that mean you're not going to be here? You know, as soon as they get a boyfriend, it's like, bye, see you later. And then Spencer's girlfriend, he's had for Christmas quite a few years. It's like, oh, her parents always have something big. And I'm like, so now I gotta rearrange my Thanksgiving on my kids schedule. And then Ryan's going to his dad's sister's house, his aunt's house. So I'm like, babe, might be me, you, rugby and my mom. That's it.
Teddi Mellencamp
With other people dropping in and out.
Tamara Judge
When are you putting your tree up?
Teddi Mellencamp
My tree's up. What? Yeah, both my trees are up.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my gosh. I'm thinking about doing that. I'm gonna do it this weekend. I'm gonna do it before Thanksgiving. I never have my tree up before Thanksgiving.
Teddi Mellencamp
Really? Never? Well, I did it because, like, I just didn't want to have to worry about, you know, how I over stress about things these days. So I was like, I just need to make sure this is done because I don't want to worry about it after I get home from my dad's in case I'm exhausted or whatever. And I don't want it to be last minute. And then.
Tamara Judge
Are you and the kids going to your dad's house?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, we're going to my dad's.
Tamara Judge
Well, we put last year, Eddie put or had put on those permanent Christmas lights that go underneath your eaves year round. You can't see them. So that's done. That's done for years. I'm happy about that.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's perfect.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
But yeah, I'm going to my dad's. Hopefully I have enough energy because then I come home and then I have immunotherapy right when I get home.
Tamara Judge
That's your next visit?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yep.
Tamara Judge
Right before Thanksgiving or after Thanksgiving?
Teddi Mellencamp
Right after Thanksgiving.
Tamara Judge
After Thanksgiving.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, right after Thanksgiving.
Tamara Judge
Well, then you'll feel good by Christmas time, Hopefully.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
How many more sessions of immunotherapy do you have to do?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think a year, Like a solid year.
Tamara Judge
Like is there a month that cuts off or do you go a year and then they reevaluate?
Teddi Mellencamp
I guess they just tell me when the time comes. They haven't given me a set time. Well, this next time that I go in for immunotherapy, they also do my scans. So as long as my scans are good, I think then, you know, we go from there. But if my scans have declined in any way, then I would assume that it goes longer. Yeah, but I mean, I don't even know how long I've been on immunotherapy.
Tamara Judge
At this point, probably. When was your surgery? No, I think longer than that. I think your surgery was in February.
Teddi Mellencamp
Was it? Yeah, but then I did radiation before. I did it for six weeks.
Tamara Judge
And then you started very much probably a Good. Eight months. Seven. Eight months. Yeah, but it's working.
Teddi Mellencamp
So it's working. I wonder if my depression has anything to do with the immunotherapy or just has to do with my entire life kind of falling apart. It's.
Tamara Judge
Well, I don't think your life's falling apart, but I think that it has a different.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, let's go through the things.
Tamara Judge
Oh, I know. I know, sweetie. But I think a lot of it is that just you're at home all the time now. Like, BravoCon was one of the biggest events you've gone to this year. So I think just being at home all the time, not being your normal self, not feeling good, recovering from, you know, brain surgery, that in itself takes a long time.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. And I just want it to be, like, over. Yeah, it will. Yeah. I mean, and it's about a year since my life completely exploded, so it's.
Tamara Judge
I know. Can you believe it's coming up on a year?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. My gosh.
Tamara Judge
That is just insane.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's so insane.
Tamara Judge
Does it feel like it's gone by fast for you?
Teddi Mellencamp
It's more so that I just don't really keep track of time anymore.
Tamara Judge
Mm.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's like I just go by moment to moment. So it's like, I know my next thing is Thanksgiving, then I have blah. Then I have blah. You know, whatever it is, like, that's the way I keep it. But I guess it's gone by. It's gone by. I don't know if it's gone by fast, but it's gone by. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Day by day.
Teddi Mellencamp
But. Yeah. Like, my entire house is still. I don't know. I think I. I got a little upset because Edwin is. Was talking about how he's, you know, not going to be here for Christmas. No. No. Edwin has been staying at the house in Hollywood Hills, but somebody's leasing it for some months coming up. And I just assumed Edwin was coming home and he would stay in Cruz's room again, but he rented a place. Really? Yeah.
Tamara Judge
I mean, your house is so big. I don't know why you wouldn't just take the spare bedroom.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. So I think that especially to help.
Tamara Judge
You out during the holidays.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. It just made me sad. Yeah. And I don't know if I'm sad because I miss him, or I'm sad because I miss our family, or I'm sad because I think it's probably all of those things.
Tamara Judge
Teddy.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
You know, he's kind of moved on, and you're at. You're at home and you're dealing with everything you're dealing with. And it would be really nice to have somebody there with you to keep you company all the time and to hold you to, you know, make food for you and all those things. I couldn't imagine going through what you're going through and not to have Eddie with me. Yeah. I would just be like, I just don't want to do this. And I'm sure you probably feel that way at times. Like, I just don't want to do this anymore.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. There are days I'm just like, I. How am I gonna do this?
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't even feel like it. And it's not, you know, it's. I'm dating too, so it's not that. It's more like I can't give myself to anybody else because I feel so low.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. And your dating's a little bit different. It's not like you're out on the town dating.
Teddi Mellencamp
No. And I'm not like you just have.
Tamara Judge
Somebody you're talking to and hanging out with once in a while. That's a big difference than having a boyfriend. You're flying to France and Italy and all these Hawaii and all these places.
Teddi Mellencamp
Right, True.
Tamara Judge
You know what I'm talking about? Slightly different.
Teddi Mellencamp
Slightly different. But speaking of dysfunctional relationships, let's get into Taylor and Dakota, who are co parenting their son. They're not in a relationship, but Taylor will be going to therapy retreat for two weeks. Do you think therapy retreat for two weeks was actually her filming the Bachelor?
Tamara Judge
Oh, I don't know. But you know what? Therapy for two weeks. I. I've never heard about these therapy retreats, but do you think we need them?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Let's go to one.
Tamara Judge
Let's go to. I think that would be a vacation itself. Other therapy is exhausting.
Teddi Mellencamp
But should I do my massages and.
Tamara Judge
All that stuff too?
Teddi Mellencamp
I know I'd settle for a week.
Tamara Judge
I was actually shocked that Dakota was filming.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm not. He's as thirsty as they come. But it makes him kind of more likable when they're not together.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. So the Dancing with the Stars situation was not going on during the filming?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, because remember, they went right into filming after last season.
Tamara Judge
Oh, that's right. Because they're pregnant. They're still pregnant.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. So it went right into filming.
Tamara Judge
And wait, did we see Whitney in this episode?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, because remember, she was one of the faces that she had quit again.
Tamara Judge
But I don't know, she quit again.
Teddi Mellencamp
The rumor is the Reason why Britney comes back mid season is to try to get on Dancing with the Stars. That's so.
Tamara Judge
No, I don't know if I believe that. I think the Dance of the stars would have taken her regardless if she was on Mom Talk or not.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, supposedly she got booted.
Tamara Judge
Oh, she got booted. I thought she was gonna win.
Teddi Mellencamp
Me too. I thought she was so good.
Tamara Judge
Wait, who's left? It's got to be near the end, right?
Teddi Mellencamp
Who is left?
Tamara Judge
She made it very far and I'll tell you just the clips I've seen. She looks like a professional dancer.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. So Dylan Efron's left. Robert Irwin.
Tamara Judge
Oh, I think he's gonna win.
Teddi Mellencamp
Elaine from Parent Trap. Jordan Chiles.
Tamara Judge
So there's still a few episodes left.
Teddi Mellencamp
And Alex Earl. I heard I had somebody said that they predicted Alex Earl is going to win. Not that you can predict those things.
Tamara Judge
But her camp reached out to me and one send me some of her. I think she's got some kind of a drink or something.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, yeah, you should get it.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. I said yeah, send it my way.
Teddi Mellencamp
And let me know how it is because I don't think her camp reached out to me. 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 quince order. Everything's so soft and well made. I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.
Teddi Mellencamp
Quint's 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. Slate. Find gifts so good you'll want to keep them with Quint.

eBay Advertiser
Blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte listeners? You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I went on to ebay to look for a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery and I found the most amazing Mugler jacket and the costume department loved it and and it felt so good and I still have it at home. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit of finding those pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee eBay things people love this.

If you're like me and you're tired of feeling controlled by your phone, social media, or just disgusted by those screen time alerts, this is the answer. Go to noblemobile.com Chelsea and try it for $10. That's noblemobile.com Chelsea.
Teddi Mellencamp
Either way, seeing Taylor and Dakota co parenting and getting along, that was. That was a nice surprise. But also, did you see on the world wide web that Taylor was kissing some guy at the. At one of the games or something?
Tamara Judge
I did say that. I was kind of confused. Like everybody made a big deal about it and I'm like, because you're not.
Teddi Mellencamp
Supposed to know anything from the Bachelor. Oh.
Tamara Judge
You're supposed to be low key, not macking on someone's face in public.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
I wonder if it's one of the Bachelor guys.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's gotta be. But they could get in a lot of trouble for that. One would think. Row, rot, row then. The members of Mom Talk right now are so Macy, Michaela, Jesse, and Layla. The rest are either on mental health breaks or they've quit.
Tamara Judge
Sorry, that just sounds so bad. We're on mental health breaks right now next week and Mom Talk, it's just too much for me.
Teddi Mellencamp
This just in. I'm on a mental health break.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And Miranda is still to be determined on her Mom Talk status, so we don't know yet.
Teddi Mellencamp
How can she be TBD but still filming the show? That one is pretty determined, if you ask me.
Tamara Judge
Right. And Demi is not on the show anymore.
Teddi Mellencamp
I love that you say Demi, but I think it's Demi.
Tamara Judge
Demi. So Demi. Demi is no longer on the show.
Teddi Mellencamp
Anymore or does she come back later too?
Tamara Judge
Oh, okay. Full of surprises to show.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, full of surprises. Everyone was still essentially pissed from the season before. But then Jesse tells Layla that she kissed Marciano twice. They had an emotional affair following that.
Tamara Judge
How's that emotional?
Teddi Mellencamp
If they're macking out, that's what also they agree. You and I had the conversation, which what hooking up is. And apparently the mom taught girls think hooking up is sex. Where I still think it's making out. I know. I knew you did.
Tamara Judge
I think if you hook up, you're getting your hook in.
Teddi Mellencamp
She says she and Jordan were separated during that time. And Jesse says they never had sex, but Marciano claims they did.
Tamara Judge
Okay, I have a question.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
Jordan has never come out and said they were separated at the time.
Teddi Mellencamp
No. Yeah, I'VE never heard that.
Tamara Judge
And I feel like when people get caught cheating, they always say, oh, it was emotional. Which is far worse than just boning down on some guy for the night.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, it appears that the reason she didn't have sex with Marciano is because he couldn't get hard. What I got. Oh, yeah, because the text message said, I remember I took Cialis, and then blah, blah.
Tamara Judge
Oh, that's right. I didn't know what Cialis is. Is that the little blue pill?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think it's one of the pills. He took a pill for erectile dysfunction. So he's probably all up and couldn't get.
Tamara Judge
Why is he like that? He's young. Like, is that, like, a thing?
Teddi Mellencamp
He was probably drunk, but he said.
Tamara Judge
He had a few little spots on his chonies. Few little drops, a few little droplets.
Teddi Mellencamp
But then Layla calls Marciano while they're in the car. He remembers taking a Cialis, a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction, and having come standing on the shorts. Know who we can blame for Marciano?
Tamara Judge
Lisa Vanderpump.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yep.
Tamara Judge
And by the way, out of all the guys, why would you want to cheat with him?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know that I'm the one to be judging.
Tamara Judge
Giddy up. Oh, my God. Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my gosh. Then Jordan invites.
Tamara Judge
Got me on that one. Austin Powers.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then Jordan invites Dakota over to tell him about the affair. Jordan gets emotional and admits it's very emasculating. Dakota tells him not to listen to what anyone else has to say.
Tamara Judge
He never really asked him the tough questions, like, how are you feeling? Do you want to stay with her? Things like that. He's like, oh, coming to me. I'm the biggest cheater around, so. Oh, my.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm not sure Dakota is the one I would ask for advice from.
Tamara Judge
That's what I'm getting at. Like, why Dakota, the one that. Who's cheated on Taylor multiple times? Not sure he was the right guy to go to. You're not going to get some sound advice from Dakota.
Teddi Mellencamp
Also, how come all of a sudden, we've heard that, like, Jordan is, like, this kind of asshole, but we've never heard that before.
Tamara Judge
He seems really sweet. I felt bad for him. I mean, to see a guy crying about his wife cheating. Like, I don't know. A lot of guys wouldn't do that. They'd be like, I'm out of here.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Then we see Jen and Zach, and they're currently living in Arizona.
Tamara Judge
Okay, this couple confuses me. Do they live in Utah or not?
Teddi Mellencamp
They're always go to Utah to film.
Tamara Judge
So they're Meredith all over again.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
So they get an Airbnb, they film, and then they go back to Arizona.
Teddi Mellencamp
Arizona. That's my guess. I mean, I have no idea if that's actual facts, but. Sounds right to me.
Tamara Judge
And then Zach's trying to figure out if he wants to continue with medical school. Doing a lot of therapy.
Teddi Mellencamp
Jen's. They do seem happier. Yeah. Because they weren't even able to fake happiness before.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then Macy and Michaela go to Jesse's house so she can tell them about the affair.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my God.
Teddi Mellencamp
Macy and Michaela are still there for Jesse, but they don't know whether or not to believe her that she had sex with Marciano. Apparently, Macy heard rumors that Jesse cheated in her past relationship. Did you mean her marriage before or. I don't know, because she was married before. I think, too.
Tamara Judge
Well, that's a really nice thing to bring up. Macy, you're a good friend. You both are. Especially you, Layla.
Teddi Mellencamp
I love that they don't even, like, really give a hug. Like, when she's, like, crying and, like, sharing her heart. They're like, so just give her a little pat.
Tamara Judge
You won't be okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
You're gonna be okay. We're here. We're here for you. Tap, tap, tap.
Tamara Judge
Well, the fact that she. Layla. Got her in the car, it's like, I really don't want to do this, but, yeah, I hear you are having an affair. And then if Jesse could have poked her eyeballs out by rubbing her face so many times, I'm like, girl, stop. You're not gonna be able to see pretty soon.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's just like, well, she couldn't even.
Tamara Judge
I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
I think she actually was blindsided by that. I would.
Tamara Judge
Could you imagine? Thank you, friend. Thanks for the heads up.
Teddi Mellencamp
Thanks for the private heads up.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because she really did seem shocked. But I guess we're going to find out more about this relationship between Jordan.
Sophie Cunningham
And.
Teddi Mellencamp
Jesse and learn a little bit more about it. But all I know is that I think Marciano gives me the poor guy. Just.
Tamara Judge
I know. The poor guy Jordan just looks so defeated and.
Teddi Mellencamp
Thank you for clarifying. The poor guy Jordan. Because I thought you were saying Marciano. I'm like, why is he the poor guy?
Tamara Judge
No, no, no, no, no, no. He just seems defeated and emasculated.
Teddi Mellencamp
He keeps talking about how emasculated he's feeling, but he's not talking about how heartbroken he Is. I know.
Tamara Judge
That's what I was gonna say. Emasculated, like. Yeah, okay, that's. That's a. A choice.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Then all the girls get together for. Well, before they even get together for Leila's birthday, they go to try to get their hair done, but Jesse isn't there.
Tamara Judge
I know, I know.
Teddi Mellencamp
So you can tell is really hitting the fan.
Tamara Judge
And none of the girls, they all act like they don't know what's going on.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then I would have spread, like, wildfire. Hair.
Tamara Judge
Layla's like, Well, I can't really say really.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, you already did on camera. But then they get together for Layla's birthday. Macy reveals that Demi texted her and Michaela right after they left Jesse's and told them about the affair. The text says, so, like, can we talk about it now that you guys know? Then this part confused me. Jesse caught Brett driving by her house on her security cameras while the girls were over. So the girls are trying to figure out who the mole is in the group. The main suspects are Layla and Miranda. No, the main suspect to me is Marciano.
Tamara Judge
Yes. Is his name Marciano or Marciano like a Mariano cherry? What's it called? Is that what.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't need to be bothered to learn his name. He grosses me out so much.
Tamara Judge
Do you know him?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I've never met him in my life. But he makes Jack Taylor seem like a dream.
Tamara Judge
I just remember last year when he comes rolling in in his ski clothes, like, oh, fancy to meet you here.
Teddi Mellencamp
What are you doing today? Working out.
Tamara Judge
Working out? Getting out.
Teddi Mellencamp
The video of him where they say they want to say I love your DJ videos, and it's like, him with, like, a goatee. No, no, no. I don't need to see that ever again.
Tamara Judge
Is the mall Layla or production?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think the mole is definitely Marciano because the mole is telling Demi and Demi. I guess my bet is still talking to him.
Tamara Judge
Is Demi the mole?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think Demi's the mole.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I think it. It's something that's put together between Marciano and Demi, and they're just trying to cause problems.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I agree. They want to cause some shit, but I guess we'll find out when Demi comes back. But then after dinner, the girls go across the street for Layla's party. Unfortunately, Miranda's ex husband Chase shows up with his girlfriend Kate. The level of help set they are at, this is also confusing and disturbing to me.
Tamara Judge
Why Chase? Why does he need to be there? Because last year he caused problems. So, like, let's Bring him in again.
Teddi Mellencamp
But like, how's he gonna cause problems at this current time? What is the point of having him there? He's just problems just being there.
Tamara Judge
And why is Lala, Lala, Layla just so into him? I guess they had talked maybe.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, she's into his brother. That was the mic drop moment. She said, I think his brother's really cute. But Jordan hates that Jesse is getting involved in the drama, so he calls Dakota and leaves too. I never expected Layla to develop into pot stirring reality villain, but she's really showing up and doing her job. So. Yeah, there you go.
Tamara Judge
Layla, Macy, Michaela blowing up at Leila for inviting him. And it just. Macy and Michaela to me are starting to become one cast member. They both share the same opinion and they're always attached.
Teddi Mellencamp
They're having babies within days from each other. They talk about how they're the heads of the show. They make the same jokes. I. And we love them in person. Yeah, but I, I'm not. They need more cast members. We need. We need some more people back.
Tamara Judge
Well, I'm sure like you said, Demi is going to be back to me. Demi. And I'm sure there's going to be sprinkling some. Some other people too.
Teddi Mellencamp
Whitney.
Tamara Judge
Jordan. Did you see Jordan? He. He's like not having it. He's like, I'm out.
Teddi Mellencamp
What could you imagine?
Tamara Judge
I'm adding 5,000. I'm getting out of here. I can't take this Poor guy didn't even tell his wife. He just. He's out. But the show to me again is feeling a little scripted.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know.
Tamara Judge
I mean, since when are they that good of friends that he'd call him and just pick him up? I don't. It's just weird. Like, why not take an Uber? Because they can't. Because I can't film a conversation with him and the Uber driver. But Taylor's mom showing up to the party.
Teddi Mellencamp
Of course she is.
Tamara Judge
It just to me. I'm sorry. It just seemed a little thirsty. Could you imagine me not being at a party? But hey, I'm sending my mom. Mom, go do my dirty work.
Teddi Mellencamp
Go tell some bitches Taylor's mom was there and then Jesse's mom was there before her. Right?
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I, I guess.
Teddi Mellencamp
Or. But that was the other's mom and.
Tamara Judge
Her extension are getting their. Their own spot.
Teddi Mellencamp
They're getting their own. She may have their own snowflake one. One snow drop at a time.
eBay Advertiser
Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte listeners? You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I went on to ebay to look for a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery and I found the most amazing Mugler jacket and the costume department loved it and it felt so good and I still have it at home. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit of finding those pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee eBay things people love this.

Teddi Mellencamp
Now let's get into episode two. We find out that Jordan left Layla's birthday party and spent the night at Dakota's. Now he's packing to go stay at his parents house for the night.
Tamara Judge
See to me that's the appropriate thing to do like just get out like the things are so bad and you don't trust your wife. And do we really think that she just kissed him and does he think that like he's.
Teddi Mellencamp
Doesn't matter.
Tamara Judge
Doesn't believe. I guess it really doesn't matter. She admitted to having an affair and.
Teddi Mellencamp
She admitted to having an emotional affair and then when she had an affair.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, period, exclamation mark.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then at Jesse's sister's house, Jesse reveals that she and Jordan have officially decided to separate. Jesse's mom admits that she and Jordan should have separated a couple years ago. And then in Jesse's confession, she says it was things that could be considered emotional abuse.
Tamara Judge
Huh. But we've never seen that in the past on the show with him. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
No. So this is news to us. And then Taylor and Dakota meet at a coffee shop after her therapy retreat. Dakota went to the therapy street for one day so they could set boundaries and learn to co parent effectively. Dakota tells Taylor about Jesse's affair and she's shocked. Nothing says I can change like a single day of therapy.
Tamara Judge
Right. Well, Taylor says Jesse was judgmental when it came to Jen and Zach, but had this going on behind closed doors. Nobody knew. There's going to be some fighting about this. I just know it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. It's not going to be just this. No. The girls are going to start getting involved soon now that Taylor's back in action.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Things are going to start to blow.
Tamara Judge
I just love her. Her no, nonsense. I don't give a shit. Give a shit what I look like. I don't give a shit what I say. The eye rolling.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was watching it was somebody. And she goes. And she goes, I've never seen this before, but I'm scared of her.
Tamara Judge
She's just funny.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like you should be. She would. She could talk any of us out of anything. Then at Mikayla's birthday, it's the first time Jesse and Jordan are at a social event while being separated. Why in the world would she read the text when he's, like, right behind her?
Tamara Judge
I was just gonna say that, like, her reading the text out loud when Jordan was standing right behind her was pretty ballsy.
Teddi Mellencamp
And it's not like the texts were, like, tame. They were like, so they're sex. And it's like, everyone thinks these texts prove her innocence. They included, I can't stop thinking about your vagina. I fucked up and want redemption. Marciano also says, the real question is, you think you can handle me? Jesse replies, honestly, not sure, but want to find out. Marciano, I'm very much looking forward to to it. I'll be lying if I said I was curious about your recent surgery.
Tamara Judge
So he saw her vagina. So it was more than kissing. What lips was he kissing?
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, apparently not her newly sewed up ones.
Tamara Judge
Clearly not her newly plumped up ones. But do you think these texts proved her innocence? Because I feel like it made her look guiltier.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, I think it proved that he couldn't get hard so they would have.
Tamara Judge
Had sex if he could just get a. Pop a boner.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, but he couldn't pop a boner. So that.
Tamara Judge
He wants redemption.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, he wants redemption. He wants a makeup because he realized he couldn't get it done. And my guess is that time they hung out.
Tamara Judge
Does anybody ever text you, I can't stop thinking about your vagina?
Teddi Mellencamp
I have to admit, no one has ever texted. How should I be concerned? No. Can't stop thinking about your vag.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, how's that vag? Can't stop thinking about your big old balls. Or in Mauricio's, I can't stop thinking about your big old belly button. Oh, my God. I'm not a sexter. Obviously, I'm not. Well, hey, you want to.
Teddi Mellencamp
You want to get it on? Hold on. My. My therapist is calling. One moment.
Tamara Judge
She's like, I hear what you're talking about, Teddy. Stop it, Teddy.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know what you're doing.
Tamara Judge
Teddy, this is not good for your mental health. You should not be talking about sexting.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then Macy, Michaela make the three hour drive to meet up with Marciano. I'm pretty sure Marciano would have driven to them for a swig gift card and camera time.
Tamara Judge
Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. But me, would Macy say of course Marciano said yes. He's excited that two married women are on their way to meet him. That was a good one.
Teddi Mellencamp
They have to stop multiple times. Never have I peed outside of a car and taken one of my legs out of this pant.
Tamara Judge
Why would you do that?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know. That makes it so much more difficult. I know.
Tamara Judge
I'm like, wait, is she getting naked?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Because then they had to blur out her. Her vag.
Tamara Judge
Her. Yeah, her bajo. I'm like, oh, okay, blurring.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then Jesse goes to therapy. At first, Marciano was infatuated with Demi, so Jesse believes that's what drew her to him. And then Jesse admits to her therapist that she doesn't like anything about herself and has no self confidence. This made me very sad.
Tamara Judge
That made me sad too. Very sad that she just doesn't think she's pretty, doesn't have any confidence and she's beautiful. She said like people say on Instagram that she looks masculine.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And she's had like her nostrils, something done with her nose and all kinds of stuff.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. I mean, I think she's stunning. I think she's been stunning since the first time I saw her. And the fact that she has so such low self esteem it and is willing to admit it shows how low it actually is.
Tamara Judge
Do you think it's from her marriage or just her in general?
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know. I think it might. I don't think reality television helps that type of thing. No, no.
Tamara Judge
I suggest, Jesse, that you don't read all the comments.
Teddi Mellencamp
Don't read the comments because they're only going to get worse from here on out.
Tamara Judge
Especially now that that she's been known to have an affair.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
These Bravo fans are gonna go after her.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, they for sure are.
Tamara Judge
Has anybody checked Marciano's Instagram?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Tamara Judge
I'm sure he's going off in some.
Teddi Mellencamp
Sort of way to make some sort of stories. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. But then Macy and Michaela finally get to Marciano. Five hours later, Marciano admits he and Demi kissed at Vanderpump Villa, but it wasn't caught on camera. He finally admits to Macy, Michaela that he and Jesse never had sex. He lied because he was being influenced by Demi. D. I kind of figured it was something like that. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
But Marciano showing up with this fresh Botox and lip gloss on his lips.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
She goes, I wanted to clear my name about having sex with him.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Like, she didn't want to. He didn't want to clear his name about anything. He wanted to come in. He also, when he was saying he. When he admitted to making out with Demi, like, he's like, Okay, well, if you twist my arm. We did once kiss. And then what? Did you have sex with Jesse?
Tamara Judge
It was such. Such a struggle to get that money for showing up.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Do you think he even got paid for showing up?
Tamara Judge
Probably.
Teddi Mellencamp
How much?
Tamara Judge
I don't know, because they're on a totally different network, so I don't know how they.
Teddi Mellencamp
How they pay, how they structure the payment. So do you think the husbands are paid?
Tamara Judge
Don't know that either.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know. I'd like to know it.
Tamara Judge
I mean, they're very involved, so I would imagine they would. They're very much involved. So I would assume that each one gets a paycheck. But again, I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
But then they say all the women are the breadwinner, so the paychecks must be significantly higher for the women.
Tamara Judge
Is it because they confuse me because they talk about contracts with mom talk and then contracts with Paramount or whatever network or Hulu, whatever they're on. So do they. This mom talk, they make a ton of money off of it.
Teddi Mellencamp
I think they're talking about the contracts, like when they're doing a paid post together and when one person wants to make significantly more amount of money. But what about when they said that Whitney only would come back if she booked a scripted show? A script. I'm only doing this podcast if I can get a scripted show.
Tamara Judge
That's pretty ballsy.
Teddi Mellencamp
Pretty ballsy. And she didn't ask for a raise. She just wanted a scripted show. Like, Hulu's gonna be like. You know what? There's this new show with Jessica Biel.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, we're gonna put you on it. You were so good with Dancing with the Stars. We're gonna give you your own show.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, and tickets to the Oscars.
Tamara Judge
Tickets to the Oscars. Okay. Did you happen to see that Nick is no longer gonna be hosting the reunion?
Teddi Mellencamp
It's gonna be Stasi now.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I think that's gonna be great.
Tamara Judge
And they've already shot their reunion.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, because they started this. I mean, now the entire season is over.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. I feel like last year they held it for a while before they shot the reunion.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know, because there was so Much drama.
Tamara Judge
I think they're already back. They're probably already back into production.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, because also, remember, Stassi worked at the villa, so she also knows Marciano.
Tamara Judge
Do you think Marciano is at the reunion? Yes, of course he is.
Teddi Mellencamp
Of course he is. I know a part of me just wants to binge watch the rest of it, and let's just redo it in a day.
Tamara Judge
Did he work for Lisa Vanderbilt? Because he lives in Vegas, and she's got restaurants in Vegas. I heard she's opening up her own. Her own hotel in Vegas.
Teddi Mellencamp
I heard that, too. That's. I never. That's somebody I never saw at Bravo Con. Did you?
Tamara Judge
I didn't see her one time saying, there's a lot of people I didn't see.
Teddi Mellencamp
Maybe the days that. Oh, he was fired during season two.
Tamara Judge
Oh, so.
Teddi Mellencamp
So that's why now he's Mormon.
Tamara Judge
Wives thought they'd pick him on up. Come on over here. Film with us.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my gosh. But.
Tamara Judge
Well, I want. I want to see Demi come back because she really causes a lot of. Now do we know if Jesse's back with her husband?
Teddi Mellencamp
I think she is back with her husband.
Tamara Judge
That's good.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I made that up just now. I have zero idea.
Tamara Judge
I love when you make up. You're so convincing. Oh, yeah. They've been back together forever. They. They renewed their vows, and now he's having an affair with Marciano, but Marciano.
Teddi Mellencamp
Couldn'T get it up.
Tamara Judge
He couldn't get it up. But you know who could? Jordan.
Public Investing Advertiser
Oh.
Tamara Judge
Get her back.
Teddi Mellencamp

Podcast: Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Host: iHeartPodcasts
Episode Air Date: November 23, 2025
Summary by [Your Name], Podcast Summarizer
In this episode, Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge dive deep into the first two episodes of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, unpacking all the drama, scandals, and shifting alliances in the cast. With their insider understanding as former Housewives, Teddi and Tamra break down co-parenting struggles, relationship breakdowns, rumors, and some eyebrow-raising group dynamics among the Mormon social media stars on the show, all with their trademark candid humor and personal asides.
Teddi and Tamra bring their familiar mix of empathy, shade, and Housewives-insider analysis to Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. They’re quick to laugh at the show’s melodramas, poke fun at reality TV conventions, and reflect on the emotional undercurrents behind the “scandals.” Under the humor, there’s compassion for people going through public relationship struggles and mental health battles.
Their trademark banter and willingness to get personal make the episode feel like a candid couch debrief with friends—just with way more knowledge about reality show production and a sharper eye for what’s real and what’s probably for the cameras.
Perfect For: Listeners who thrive on reality TV tea, group dynamics breakdowns, and honest talk about relationships and self-image—all infused with warmth, wit, and a dash of shade.
