Key Discussion Points & Insights

Did We Need a Third Reunion?

[04:46]

• The hosts quickly question whether a third part of the reunion was necessary.
  • Teddi: “Absolutely not.”
  • Tamra: Agrees, but points out the episode’s value in showing “conflict and resolution.”
  • They generally agree the episode felt dragged, yet gave closure to certain storylines.

Lisa Hochstein’s Emotional Journey

[05:12, 05:36]

• Lisa’s struggle with being overlooked during her father’s illness gets empathy from the hosts.
  • Tamra: “I kind of related to that… when you're going through something hard and none of your cast members give a shit.”
  • They discuss her grievances about others not recognizing her grief, with Teddi noting the cast often focuses on themselves.
  • Lisa (guest co-host): Agrees, recalling personal cast experiences; late arrivals and slights spark conflict.

Larsa vs. Lisa—Drug Insinuations & Friendship Fallout

[08:55, 09:03]

• Larsa’s accusation about Lisa’s boyfriend Jody being on drugs nearly leads to a breakup. The hosts find this deeply unfair.
  • Tamra: “If they were doing that to Eddie, he would be like, f off.”
  • They condemn the way rumors are weaponized on reality TV.
  • The hosts note that, by the end of the reunion, Larsa and Lisa soften toward each other and move to mend the friendship.

“AC” Controversy—Real or Manufactured?

[10:20]

• A debated moment: the "AC" (air conditioning) incident, with speculation about whether “getting AC” was code for something suspicious.
  • Teddi & Tamra explain: Sometimes, housewives literally mean they want to cool off in the midst of Miami’s sweltering heat, not do anything untoward.
  • Lisa Rinna (guest): Clarifies she spoke with Lisa and Jody—“all the doors were open in the house…let's go somewhere where the door is shut, where we have some A.C.”

The Marbella Plane Rules—Stephanie’s Drama

[11:25, 11:38]

• The hosts recall Stephanie setting strict rules for her plane (no shoes, toilet paper in the bin, no seat scratching), which caused friction and led some to feel cast apart. They laugh about the specificity (“no scratching anything—what if your butt itches?”) but agree that it highlighted how Housewife travel quirks become plot points.

---

Age & Appearance—Knee Comments and Sagging Skin

[12:38, 13:01, 18:23]

• The infamous “knee” remarks resurface—Kiki called Adriana old; Adriana made comments about Marisol’s knees.
  • Hosts discuss the sensitivity around aging, with Tamra opening up about muscle loss and skin texture.
  • Lisa Rinna: “But when you get older, it's the actual skin texture... So you can build your muscle all you want. You're still going to have a little bit of a sagginess in your knees.” [13:19]
• They touch on how superficial criticisms on the show can leave lasting marks, regardless of intent.

Gertie’s Health Journey & Emotional Detachment

[24:01, 24:32]

• Gertie discusses her recovery from breast cancer treatment and decision to forego further reconstructive surgery—gets emotional, feeling disconnected from the group.
  • Tamra: Praises Gertie’s husband’s support; opens up about how hard it is to recover self-confidence post-surgery.
  • Lisa Rinna: “If you don’t feel secure in yourself, it does affect you in other ways…”
• The hosts are moved by Gertie’s resilience and her narrative about finding herself again after illness.

Julia’s Complicated Storylines—Adoption, Estrangement, & Viewer Confusion

[26:03, 27:59, 29:01]

• Julia’s relationship with her daughters is dissected—her daughters reportedly feel that, now she has adopted two boys, she’s less present for them.
  • Tamra: Relates it to universal blended family dynamics and shares a personal anecdote about feeling jealous when her father remarried.
  • Lisa Rinna: “It happens a lot when parents divorce…the other parent doesn't really see the kid and then gets remarried and has this new family.”

Stephanie the Yeller—Does Volume Equal Drama?

[29:47, 30:09]

• Stephanie’s outbursts get attention:
  • “She yelled and she yelled loudly.”
  • Most memorable line: “Stop talking and let me speak!” [30:15]
  • The hosts debate if Stephanie’s directness is refreshing or grating, but agree she made a strong first impression.

Who Gets “First Seat,” and Does It Matter?

[30:24, 30:31, 30:58]

• The tradition and significance of first-chair seating at reunions is discussed.
  • Numerous “newbies” in housewife history have snagged first seat.
  • “There's no rule book…Is it seniority? Is it the people that are most, you know, controversial that season? I don't know.” —Lisa Rinna [31:16]
  • Sometimes it’s just about matching dress colors.

Dr. Nicole, Private Investigators, and the “Prove It” Moment

[36:15, 36:39]

• Dr. Nicole’s podcast accusation that a “friend” hired a PI to dig up dirt is met with skepticism.
  • Lisa Rinna: “Show me the proof or I'm gonna sue your ass.” [36:39]
  • They dismiss the idea that Marisol did anything nefarious, noting that housewives constantly share headlines to one another.

Housewife Hires, Firing, and Truce Longevity

[42:44, 43:12, 49:47]

• Who’s likely to come back next season? The hosts make predictions:
  • Stephanie: a lock for return
  • Julia: “on the bottom of the list”
  • Marisol: likely to stay a “friend of” but with full cast participation, and probably “her pay is right up there with housewives.” [50:37]
  • Adriana: “moves storylines and she's messy”; good for TV even if a “friend of.”
  • General consensus: Cast shakeups are rarely predictable.

Personal Reflections and Authenticity

[43:23]

• Both hosts relate reality TV dramatics to their own lives—a mix of self-deprecation and advice for keeping housewife relationships, and real friendships, healthy with apologies and maturity.
  • Lisa Rinna: “I think housewives that can’t move on should be fired.” [23:47]

• “Stop talking and let me speak!” —Stephanie, as relayed by the hosts [30:15]

• “I think housewives that can't move on should be fired.” —Lisa Rinna [23:47]
• “I am fine with the entire cast coming back. Honestly, I think…the lowest on the totem pole would probably be Julia.” —Lisa Rinna [50:43]

Two teas in a pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tama.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of two T's in a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge. I'm never going to be able to say that again without thinking about Miguel.

[Lisa Rinna]

Why?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

What did he say when he was.

[Tamara Judge]

Like, hi, we've reached another episode of two T's in a Pod with Teddy Vo.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Now I'm like, I gotta have a little bit more pep in my step.

[Tamara Judge]

When I say it.

[Lisa Rinna]

He is booked and busy.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I know.

[Lisa Rinna]

I just saw him at some event. I know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

He was dancing with Lisa Rinna.

[Lisa Rinna]

I know. Remember he were at lunch and he's like, so you guys going to Lisa Rinna's party? And we both get. We weren't invited, But we didn't make it. And he's like, oh, oh. It's not really her party. It's a brand party. We're like, don't try to soften the blow.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, don't. Yeah, we don't.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, we don't know. We didn't know about it.

[Lisa Rinna]

No, no, it's okay, Lisa.

[Tamara Judge]

I can't make it out past 5pm anyway, so.

[Lisa Rinna]

I know. Real Housewives of Miami season 7 reunion part 3. Do you think we needed a part 3?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Absolutely not.

[Lisa Rinna]

I didn't think so either.

[Tamara Judge]

I didn't think so either.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I mean, I think it was good in the way that, like, yes, we.

[Tamara Judge]

Got conflict and resolution everywhere. Like, everybody made up, everybody's in a good place.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But I'm not sure we needed it.

[Lisa Rinna]

I'm not sure we needed it either. But I did like that we. I felt like Lisa did a good job. Like when she starts talking about getting emotional, saying no one knows what she went through with her dad, and she felt no one asked her how she was doing, I kind of related to that, you know, and it's a tough situation when you're going through something hard and none of your cast members give a shit.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, because everybody's thinking about what they're gonna say next instead of asking how you're doing.

[Lisa Rinna]

Do you think they were hard on Lisa this year?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think they were hard on Lisa this year, but I also think that she did some things, you know, with.

[Tamara Judge]

The being late and those types of things that kind of pissed everybody off.

[Lisa Rinna]

Who on your cast was always late?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Who on my cast? Dorit.

[Tamara Judge]

Remember the. The scene?

[Lisa Rinna]

Yes, yes.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But she wasn't always late. She was just late sometimes. I mean, most of the time everybody.

[Tamara Judge]

Was pretty prompt because we. Everybody gets annoyed when people are late. You know, there was one time Erica was late and we were all, like, sitting in the Sprinter and waiting and waiting and waiting.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. We have one person in our cast that's always late. I think it was a storyline to share. Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Being late bugs. But, you know, it happens to everybody. But I think that Lisa says she had a party to honor Alexia's mom when she passed. Kiki says under her breath. So now we are comparing grief. Yeah. I thought it was a fair point.

[Tamara Judge]

For Lisa to make.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

If nobody asked me about a parent.

[Tamara Judge]

Passing, I'd be a little upset too, right? Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

And to know that your cast members had a party for, you know, somebody else but not for you, and they're not really acknowledging it. And she's kind of getting some. She got some this season. Like, why are you going to do this if your dad's so sick?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. And then Larsa, which is made feel.

[Lisa Rinna]

Bad, by the way. It's a valid question.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, it is.

[Lisa Rinna]

And I think her answer was something along the lines where my dad wanted me to do what I do best.

[Tamara Judge]

He wanted me to shine and I did. Or something like that.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But Larsa tells Lisa she made her feel bad. Lisa gets mad that Larsa isn't letting her talk.

[Tamara Judge]

And then Alexia chimes in, enough is enough.

[Lisa Rinna]

Enough is enough.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Enough is enough.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But, yeah, so, I mean, I think that part was good, though, because we.

[Tamara Judge]

Get where kind of Lisa was coming from, and we do see a lot of growth throughout Lisa. This reunion, this third part of the reunion, you see that she's.

[Lisa Rinna]

And even Andy made a comment like he's seen growth.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Which Jody is probably seeing growth too, which is probably good for getting that ring.

[Lisa Rinna]

Can I ask you a question?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Why do the guys show up to the reunion but they're not on the reunion? Eddie would rather poke his eyeballs out with nails than sit in my dressing room for 10 hours.

[Tamara Judge]

Sit in your dressing room for 10 hours and watch you talk about things that you probably talk about already all the time.

[Lisa Rinna]

Right.

[Tamara Judge]

Like, I don't get that.

[Lisa Rinna]

I thought. I thought for sure that the guys were going to be on stage.

[Tamara Judge]

No, no.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, if they're already there. Put their asses on stage.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. If they're already there.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I know.

[Tamara Judge]

The fact that they just sit there.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And they don't even sit together.

[Lisa Rinna]

No.

[Tamara Judge]

The way we're seeing it.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But then Lisa brings up Larsa insinuating.

[Tamara Judge]

Jody was on drugs. She and Jody had nights where she admits. And she gets emotional as she's saying this.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

They almost broke up because of his.

[Tamara Judge]

Reputation being on the line. I mean, this also makes sense.

[Lisa Rinna]

Well, I'll tell you what. If they were doing that to Eddie, he would be like, f off.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, F off.

[Lisa Rinna]

And, you know, that happened with him one season where they're insinuating he's gay and some jerk comes on and says he saw him make out with a guy and all this stuff. And that's what. That's when he's like, no, this is so toxic.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Like, people can't just. I just hate when people just make up blatant lies. Yeah. It's not cool.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Then.

[Lisa Rinna]

Especially for the guys.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So, I mean, but you can kind of tell that even at this point that Lisa and Larsa are starting to.

[Tamara Judge]

Get softer towards one another and realize, like, what good friends they are and that they want to kind of patch things up.

[Lisa Rinna]

But also, if you're like, we're going in my room to do A.C. you're not going in there to do Anderson Cooper. You're not in there to do Andy Cohen. So I see where the girls. But just certain lines, like, maybe you shouldn't cross. I mean, that's. But ac, that's rich coming from me.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But I think saying ac, like, we're gonna.

[Tamara Judge]

They didn't say we're doing ac. They said, we're gonna go get some AC because, like, you know how sometimes when you're filming, they make you turn off the AC because it makes noise?

[Lisa Rinna]

Well, also, they. I had talked to Jody and Lisa because they called me after this aired and they said all the doors were open in the house.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

So even with the air conditioning on, the humidity in the. You know how hot it is in Miami was just going through the house and they're like, we've had it. Let's go somewhere where the door is shut, where we have some A.C. yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

So I think that makes sense. I think that's a valid. A valid thing because I wouldn't want to be sitting there sweating while the girls are fighting out in the sweat box.

[Lisa Rinna]

They're like, we're sweating our balls off. We're not the people that are, you know, here. The cameras aren't in front of us.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Like, let's go have a drink and.

[Tamara Judge]

Have some air conditioning.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. Or let's just get away from the cameras.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Why? We have the time.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Julia and Lisa are going back and forth about the Marbella trip, and Stephanie asked the rules on her plane were that bad. Stephanie says, what were the rules?

[Lisa Rinna]

No shoes.

[Tamara Judge]

No, it was no shoes. Put your toilet paper in the trash can and no scratching anything.

[Lisa Rinna]

No scratching anything?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Like, try to.

[Lisa Rinna]

What if your butt itches?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, they. She means her seats and stuff.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Well, who wants it?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Like, nobody wants to do that. But I don't think that that was actually. I mean, Lisa was making very clear.

[Tamara Judge]

Points at this reunion.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't think that.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't think Stephanie, when she said those things, realized that she made it seem like people were going to be separated on the plane, but that's really what it felt like.

[Lisa Rinna]

Okay.

[Tamara Judge]

That's my guess. But I don't know. I don't really know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then Andy brings up the cake equation.

[Tamara Judge]

Mm.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Kiki says, looking back, it does look mean. Adriana cries about her age. Marisol says she called her knees wrinkled and that she's having a knee procedure now.

[Lisa Rinna]

I want that knee procedure.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't. I want something, but I don't want that yet.

[Lisa Rinna]

You don't need it yet. You're not old enough. But as you get older, your knees. The skin on your knees start to sag. The skin on your arms start to sag.

[Tamara Judge]

My arms are a whole doozy of a sitch. No, they are, because I used to have muscles and now I don't. So they're just.

[Lisa Rinna]

So the skin sags.

[Tamara Judge]

The skin sags?

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. As soon as you start working out, it'll come back. It's. But when you get older, it's the actual skin texture.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

So you can build your muscle all you want. You're still going to have a little bit of a sagginess in your knees.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddy 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.

[Lisa Rinna]

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.

[Teddy 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.

[Lisa Rinna]

Then there's the denim that goes with everything.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Silk tops and skirts for when you.

[Lisa Rinna]

Need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually keep you warm.

[Teddy 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.

[Lisa Rinna]

By working directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices, and by cutting out the middle and markups, Quince is able to pass those savings straight to you.

[Teddy 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 quince.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Adriana, I thought was being hypocritical here because I think in her mind, since she and Marisa are close in age and have a long history, her knee comments are the same.

[Tamara Judge]

As Kiki calling her old.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But I mean, Adriana has to realize But I had kind of forgotten that.

[Tamara Judge]

The reason that Adriana was so pissed off was because Marisol was like not was kind of refusing to be with her on the same yacht. Yeah, I forgot about that part.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah, but she didn't have to say that. She was an old and her knees are saggy.

[Tamara Judge]

No, she didn't need that.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, there could have been some. But you know what? When you're in the heat of it and you're mad, you say things you don't mean and you know that's where the reunion comes in. You can be like, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

[Tamara Judge]

But I did.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But did Adriana say that she was sorry.

[Lisa Rinna]

I don't remember if she did or not. I don't know. I guess I'm just not sensitive to it. Don't really care.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Hard for me to wrap my brain around that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But I do think, you know, all of the knee comments and all of.

[Tamara Judge]

Those types of things, I do think that they do end up. Even if you don't care about your age or you're not thinking about something, if somebody points it out, then all of a sudden you are thinking about it. And that's why, you know, Marisol.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, one. Or went in for the procedure one time. I did. I think last year I did a confessional and the skin on my arms looked saggy. And it's like sometimes those lights are. And I'm not saying they're not, but not as bad as those bright lights you've ever gone into like a Nordstrom.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, yes.

[Lisa Rinna]

Dressing room. And I'm like, what the. I look like I have cellulite over my entire body. Like, I didn't know you can have cellulite on your fingertips.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You know.

[Lisa Rinna]

And I think it can be. Sometimes the lights are really harsh. But that has, like caused me to be like, you know what? I'm not wearing short sleeves or sleeveless dresses at the, you know, at my confessional. I even like before the reunion was like really hitting the weights really hard because I knew I was wearing a, a sleeveless dress and I really looked for one with sleeves.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

And couldn't find one. But you know what I did find?

[Tamara Judge]

What?

[Lisa Rinna]

Westmore Beauty.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. I love Westmore guys.

[Lisa Rinna]

If you've never tried Westmore Beauty, it is like a body makeup. You put it on with a brush. It makes your skin look flawless.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

It looks like silk.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yes. So I Especially in pictures. So I used to use Sally Hansen's like the leg spray and all that. But sometimes it looks a little mannequiny.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

I still like it, but this just gives you a shimmer. It's beautiful.

[Tamara Judge]

It's perfection. Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then they take a little five minute break and Larsa goes into Lisa's dressing.

[Tamara Judge]

Room to talk to Jody. At first it starts to almost get heated again.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

And then Larsa apologizes for bringing him into this. Jody says the last time he saw.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Marcus was a year ago.

[Tamara Judge]

They hug and make up. Larsa's pretty much like, this is what I've been saying the entire time. You know? You know, all you had to do was that. And Lisa apologizes.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. No, I thought that was a very good scene. I think that Lisa was purposely not unfollowing him because she was annoyed with Larsa.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I agree.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, I talked to Larsa when this aired, and I go, oh, my gosh. Like, I still follow him from Trader Days. Do you want me to unfollow? And she said, yes, and I did.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Like, it doesn't mean that much to me. I'm not that close to him.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I have a question. When we interviewed Larsa, was that before.

[Tamara Judge]

Or after she had filmed the reunion? Before. That was before.

[Lisa Rinna]

I think it was before because I.

[Tamara Judge]

Remember she still was having issues with Lisa when we did that interview. So that's why I was trying to.

[Lisa Rinna]

Remember the time it was before it was before. So hopefully things are better with them. How long do you think this truce between Lisa and Larsa is going to last?

[Tamara Judge]

I think it's going to last. I think it's going to last, and I think it's going to rotate to some of the other women because this was a lot about them this season, and I think people are over it.

[Lisa Rinna]

We need for it to last. There's nothing worse on housewife shows where the same fights happen.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You mean we need it not to last.

[Lisa Rinna]

No, we.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

We.

[Lisa Rinna]

What I'm saying is we need their truce to last.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes.

[Ad Read Host]

Yes.

[Lisa Rinna]

Because there's nothing worse than hearing the same damn fight year after year after year. Like, nobody wants to hear it.

[Tamara Judge]

No. We want to move on.

[Lisa Rinna]

I don't want to hear. That's why I will always apologize. Even if I'm right. Let's move on.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So you're like, I'm just always gonna apologize.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No matter what.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, sometimes other people should apologize and they don't. And then you're stuck with the same shit over and over and over.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. And it's.

[Lisa Rinna]

I think housewives that can't move on should be fired.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, then Andy asked Gertie for the latest health update. She says she's doing great and finding her groove back.

[Tamara Judge]

She decided not to do multiple reconstructive surgeries. She gets emotional during this part. She.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You can tell, I think during this.

[Tamara Judge]

Reunion, she doesn't feel connected to really anybody.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. That's a hard position to be in.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Been there, done that. Now when she says she needs reconstructive surgeries, did she have a double mastectomy? Did she? I'm not quite sure.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think she had a double mastectomy.

[Tamara Judge]

And then she had her boobs done. And then, like, something was still. Like there was a ripple or something, and she had when she was filming the show, when we had seen a scene where she said she was going to get another surgery and her husband had not wanted her to get it. And then she's saying she didn't end up getting it.

[Lisa Rinna]

He's a solid guy.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. He seems like a really nice guy.

[Lisa Rinna]

He is an angel. Like, he's like, no, I don't. You know, it doesn't bother me.

[Tamara Judge]

Like, and when he showed the scene, like, when they showed the, like, flashback of him just saying, like, you know, I just love you and I'm so impressed by you and I'm so proud of you and.

[Lisa Rinna]

But I know. But then also on the flip side, as a woman, if you don't feel secure in yourself, it does affect you in other ways, you know, like, that's why I ended up having reconstructive surgery myself, because I had a big crease that went right through my boob. It looked like I had two boobs on one side.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

So I get it either way.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But she decided not to go through.

[Tamara Judge]

With it, probably because she said she's like, I'm starting to feel better. I'm starting to work out. I'm starting to do those things and I'm starting to feel more like myself again. Which that gave me some hope. I was like, oh, I can't wait till I'm like, at that stage.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah, for sure. And maybe two years down the line, maybe two years down the line, maybe she might go, okay, I'm ready for it.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. And that's okay if she makes that decision.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah, exactly.

[Tamara Judge]

Totally fine.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then she. Andy asks Gertie if she felt a.

[Tamara Judge]

Connection between being abandoned by a child and by Julia.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Gertie says it felt degrading and traumatic.

[Tamara Judge]

But it wasn't necessarily that she was feeling abandoned. It's just that it was degrading. What are your thoughts on Julia?

[Lisa Rinna]

Confusing. I think she's confusing, like, with the apology.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She's like, you know, I'm just so.

[Tamara Judge]

Sorry that bringing her back to pain and blah, blah, blah. Like, well, I hope.

[Lisa Rinna]

I don't know, to be. I don't know. I. You know, sometimes housewives are persuaded to do things from the comment section on Instagram.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Now, she did admit that Emma hasn't met Julia's boys, but has FaceTime. Why do you think your daughters have an issue with the boys?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, especially when she kind of explained.

[Tamara Judge]

It and said, you know, the timing wise, this is what happened, blah, blah, blah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think they probably feel like, you.

[Tamara Judge]

Know, I mean, I hate to speak for them, but I probably would feel like, you know, I want more of you. And now all of a sudden you have these two babies and, you know, you've just gone through so many things, you know, like with. With Martinez cancer, all of these different things. They're traveling all the time, and now all of a sudden there's these two new babies. And I think that they're probably, you know, scared, you know, and then we go back to the flashback of her saying, you know, one of the daughters saying, you don't even know where I go to college.

[Lisa Rinna]

So I'm just speculating. Do you think it's because she felt like the kids felt like you were never really around? As I grew up and I lived in. They lived in a different country.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

And now you're adopting boys, but you weren't there for me. I think it's a natural thing. And it happens a lot when parents divorce.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

The other parent doesn't really see the. The kid and then gets remarried and then has this new family. I mean, I feel like they make movies about this.

[Tamara Judge]

I think it happens all the time. I think, you know, even as a kid, I remember when my dad got remarried and he had my brothers, like, of course, whether I wanted to or not. I definitely felt some, like, jealousy.

[Lisa Rinna]

It reminds me of. Do you ever watch the Elton John movie?

[Tamara Judge]

No. I did. Oh, yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Rocket Man. Was it Rocket Man? Yeah. Where his dad never gave him a lot of attention. And then one day when he becomes famous, he goes to visit him and he's got two siblings and sees his dad hugging them and all this stuff and the pain he went through watching that. And I'm wondering if it's a situation like that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I thought that the.

[Tamara Judge]

The amount of time that Gertie probably spoke on this reunion wasn't much either.

[Lisa Rinna]

I don't think that Larsa spoke hardly at all.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, that's true.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. It was very far. Few between comments.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And I also noticed that we don't have much conversation, even though she did speak a lot.

[Tamara Judge]

There's not a lot about Stephanie. No, but she yelled and she had. First she yelled and she yelled loud, loudly.

[Lisa Rinna]

What'd she say? I forgot.

[Tamara Judge]

I forget to. Maybe we'll get to it.

[Lisa Rinna]

Was it shut up or something like that or let me talk or. I don't know. I was here for it.

[Tamara Judge]

I. You didn't mind the yelling?

[Lisa Rinna]

Stop talking and let me speak. Is that it?

[Tamara Judge]

I think so. Stopped. Yeah, stop.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Just stop talking and let me speak.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But then.

[Lisa Rinna]

Do you think she's the first newbie that got first chair.

[Tamara Judge]

No.

[Lisa Rinna]

Have there been more others?

[Tamara Judge]

I think there's been others that have.

[Lisa Rinna]

Had the first chair. Okay.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Am I wrong in thinking that Angie got first chair?

[Lisa Rinna]

I can't remember.

[Tamara Judge]

Or she's just middle snowflake.

[Lisa Rinna]

I can't even remember what I had for breakfast. I actually, I don't think I've had breakfast yet.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Kenya. Kenya got had first seat.

[Lisa Rinna]

Oh, really?

[Tamara Judge]

Monica had first seat.

[Lisa Rinna]

I miss Monica.

[Tamara Judge]

And Shannon had first seat.

[Lisa Rinna]

Her first year.

[Tamara Judge]

Her first year.

[Lisa Rinna]

That's a big deal.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, it's a pretty big deal.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. We, we've had people on our show for years that have never had a first date.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

So first and I never know, like, what does that mean? They've never come out? There's no rule book.

[Tamara Judge]

No, we just assume.

[Lisa Rinna]

We just assume. Is it seniority? Is it the people that are most, you know, controversial that season? I don't know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And plus, it's having to match the.

[Tamara Judge]

Other side of the couch, too.

[Lisa Rinna]

And it's also a color thing with the dresses.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

Max. Oh my gosh. Julia actually got first seat her first season.

[Lisa Rinna]

What? What?

[Tamara Judge]

I know.

[Lisa Rinna]

I feel like Julie's been a slow roll.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I feel like she's been a slow roll and she.

[Lisa Rinna]

We went with like goats with diapers on to I ate somebody's.

[Tamara Judge]

Right.

[Lisa Rinna]

Right. I can't. I mean, am I wrong?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I mean, pretty much Julia for me has been a difficult one. She's my most difficult.

[Lisa Rinna]

I agree.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. But anyway, Andy Then says, recently on Dr. Nicole's podcast, she accused an unnamed friend of. Of hiring a private investigator to dig up information on her hopes of getting a mojito. Maricel says, prove it or go to court. Prove it or go to court.

[Lisa Rinna]

I would say the same thing. I would absolutely say the same thing. If somebody's bringing out a private investigator to dig up or whatever they do. Show me the proof. Show me the proof or I'm gonna sue your ass. Yeah, I think that's what she said. Right? We'll go to court. Prove it.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Prove it.

[Lisa Rinna]

I'll go to court. I mean, I find it hard to believe that Marisol hired a private investigator.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, I think Marisol is just. You know, when we even found out.

[Tamara Judge]

That Marisol's been sending Stephanie all of her press, I think Marisol is just online and looks at stuff.

[Lisa Rinna]

Okay. By the way, we all do that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

If there's a story that breaks out and you have certain friends on the show, you send it to them. Yeah, you send it to them. And it's not like, go do my dirty work. Here, let me send this to you.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, it's like, here's a heads up.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, I'll never forget. Me and Gina filmed a scene before we went. I think this is two years ago, before we went on a trip. We're at a luggage store. Okay, whatever. Very fitting. And as cameras went down and we're walking out, it comes up, Heather Debrow sold her house for $55 million.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

And I sent it to Gina. I'm like, oh, my God. We could have talked about that.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Lisa Rinna]

You know, that's like. You know, because she didn't tell anybody that she was selling her house. We found out about it on, you know, right after filming.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. So it happens all the time. So I don't think that Marisol is doing anything horrible. Like, here you go. And plus, Marisol was in pr.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

So PR People are on top of that shit.

[Tamara Judge]

She sees it, she wants to send it.

[Lisa Rinna]

So you said you'd love to see Dr. Nicole back next season.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I would, but this comment is a.

[Tamara Judge]

Little bit confusing to me and why she's doing it.

[Lisa Rinna]

Why? What do you mean?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, Dr. Nicole saying that she accused.

[Tamara Judge]

Like, why she's accusing Marisol right now when she's not on the show.

[Lisa Rinna]

Because she has a podcast now.

[Tamara Judge]

True.

[Lisa Rinna]

And when you have a podcast, you know, you talk about.

[Tamara Judge]

Do you.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Is that what people do on podcasts?

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Tell me more, because I definitely never.

[Tamara Judge]

Accused anybody of anything.

[Lisa Rinna]

Well, I know. Well, evidently, I'm. I am in trouble, probably. By Wendy, that comment I said about somebody sliding into my dm, saying that and repeating it. I had no idea it was going to get so many head. It was on Page Six this morning, and I don't know if it's. I'm just saying this is whistling in my DMs. And then up in. Adam said on his podcast, he said, well, now that Tamara's mentioned it, he slid in. Somebody slid into my DMs and said the same thing. So I sent him a message, and I go, is it this person? He goes, yes. And he sent me what she sent him.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So this person could either be telling.

[Tamara Judge]

The truth, or it could be a complete random stranger that has no idea what's going on.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, exactly. We have. No. It's not like we're checking sources here.

[Lisa Rinna]

No, no. That was one of my questions in my confessionals. Do you guys check sources? I know I'm not Anderson Cooper. No.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Andy asks who manipulates who, and Alexia and Marisol's dynamic. I think Marisol is one of those.

[Tamara Judge]

People that always wants to help people behind the scenes.

[Lisa Rinna]

Well, she does come from a PR background, so the fact that she helped Adriana with the wretched ratchet situation.

[Tamara Judge]

I.

[Lisa Rinna]

Think that's how her mind works. I think that's how her mind programmed that. The thing that's confusing is they don't like each other. Why are you trying to help somebody? I don't know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I mean, because the ratchet combo comes up. It's brought up. Marisol apologizes to Kiki for trying to.

[Tamara Judge]

Help Adriana.

[Lisa Rinna]

Which was good.

[Tamara Judge]

Which was good that she apologized for that.

[Lisa Rinna]

But Adriana never admitted to saying that word.

[Tamara Judge]

I still couldn't understand what word Adriana was saying ratchet. Yeah. But when she was saying it on the couch, she still was saying it a little more like wretched.

[Lisa Rinna]

But Marisol, did you see Marisol is selling Mama Elsa's house?

[Tamara Judge]

I know.

[Lisa Rinna]

I know. It should be like a museum.

[Tamara Judge]

What about Stephanie's face when she was like, when Andy said, you know, I know you talk to your mom. Your mom. And Stephanie's like, what?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

What do you mean?

[Lisa Rinna]

How she goes Spiritually. Yeah, spiritually. I talked to my mom, but she.

[Tamara Judge]

Says her mom has no ties to the house anymore.

[Lisa Rinna]

Right, right. That would be hard to sell the house.

[Tamara Judge]

That would be hard to sell the house. But also, I. You know, at some point, you have to let go. You have to let it go.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Andy wants to end On a positive note, this part was like, okay, so Stephanie says she. After Stephanie is already in the past.

[Tamara Judge]

You know, said she doesn't trust anybody. She has no real friends. There's no, you know, there's no trust here.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then she says, Stephanie says this is the top five best experiences in her.

[Tamara Judge]

Life, that she has real friends, and that she hasn't, you know, hasn't replaced her relationship with her sisters. But she does feel more connected now.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And I'm like, stephanie, which one is it?

[Lisa Rinna]

I think what she's trying to say, I. I think Stephanie is the type of girl that spends a lot of time with her husband and a lot of time working.

[Tamara Judge]

Right.

[Lisa Rinna]

I'm not saying she doesn't have girlfriends, but I. She's just one of those girls that maybe doesn't spend a lot of time with girls. And now she's placed on the show, and that's all we do for four months. Yeah, we go shopping, we go out to eat. We have parties. And you're spending a lot of time with girls. And I think that, like, opened her mind. Like, hey, I like this.

[Tamara Judge]

I like this. Or these are things that maybe I should change or I should edit about the way.

[Lisa Rinna]

I mean, I'm like that. I'm very much a homebody. Spend most of my time with kids and my husband, and I'm trying to push myself out of that box to, like, go spend more time with the friends that I have and nourish those friendships that I have.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. No, that makes sense.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then Andy says he's impressed with Lisa's growth. Gertie pulls out her book to plug it, since it's about trauma and trophies.

[Tamara Judge]

And Andy goes, are you going to.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Plug your book right now?

[Lisa Rinna]

Okay, what did you think about that?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I mean, I wish it would have been different if Andy would have been like, hey, talk to me about your book. And she would have pulled it out.

[Lisa Rinna]

It was a little much. It would be like me, you know, pulling out a bottle of, you know, Vena cbd. Oh, I have these night gummies.

[Tamara Judge]

And.

[Lisa Rinna]

And by the way, get a microphone on. Two T's in a pod. Like, we're gonna. Yeah, we're gonna broadcast right now.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Like, or just wearing your two teas.

[Tamara Judge]

In a pod bedazzled shirt to the reunion.

[Lisa Rinna]

Well, I thought about just getting a dress that said two teas in a pod in sequence.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You'd have to get the right color, though.

[Lisa Rinna]

I know that would have been difficult. I know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then Kiki says she feels like she has a group of husbands since they.

[Tamara Judge]

Are tough like men.

[Lisa Rinna]

She has a group of husbands.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

What does she mean, like the girls?

[Tamara Judge]

The girls are like her husbands.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Marisol loves what she does, and Julia says this was the best and the worst season for her.

[Lisa Rinna]

Do you think Julia's back?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. Like, truthfully, I really don't know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think that watching her, this reunion.

[Tamara Judge]

She kind of just melted back into who she was. Season one. Mm.

[Lisa Rinna]

Now, do you think there's any truth to the rumors of coming out about Martina being very upset with her about the reunion and there's divorce rumors and things like that?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I mean, I don't know if there's.

[Tamara Judge]

Any divorce, anything like that, but I would imagine that Martina is upset. I would be upset.

[Lisa Rinna]

I know. I just. Do you think it was in her best interest to bring this up after just adopting two kids?

[Tamara Judge]

No.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Especially because Adriana I don't think was.

[Tamara Judge]

Going to bring it up. No.

[Lisa Rinna]

I asked her when I saw her.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

In New York, and she's like, no.

[Tamara Judge]

She told me the same thing.

[Lisa Rinna]

And she also said that she wasn't holding it over her head at all.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. But do we trust Adriana?

[Lisa Rinna]

I really like her. Like, when I met her, she's extremely intelligent. You know, you never know. You know, like, you meet people on a show and it's not your own cast and you don't know them that deeply. You're like, they're lovely. Like every housewife I've ever met, I've always thought I. Oh, they're lovely.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

You know, but when you work with somebody, it's different. You get to know them. Like, the fight started, you know? But Larsa recently posted a story with Julia and Martina and Kiki. So it looks like they're doing okay.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, it must. They must be doing okay. And I would assume last time Martina came to BravoCon, so if Julia's coming, I bet Martina would be there.

[Lisa Rinna]

I really enjoyed Martina this season. I felt like she was on the show more often. You didn't.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

The things that she said, Tam, what part of the things that she said?

[Tamara Judge]

Well, one.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

The part about what she said, how she doesn't believe in surrogacy.

[Lisa Rinna]

Oh, that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What I'm saying, she was more in. I don't agree with that at all, but I'm. And she didn't say that on the show. She said that on Twitter or whatever. X. Whatever it's called. But I'm saying she was more engaged this season. Yeah, we saw more of her. I love seeing her with the boys. I mean, how would Martina feel if, you know, Andy Cohen put out there? I don't agree with adoption. How would. How would she feel? How would Martina feel about that?

[Tamara Judge]

I. I can't imagine she would.

[Lisa Rinna]

Knowing that Andy Cohen used a surrogate and so many other people have. Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I mean, it's such a. Off the. It. It's so hard to even fathom that she would say that for me. It's hard for me to move on from that.

[Lisa Rinna]

I know firsthand I have somebody that's extremely close to me. She's, you know, in her early 30s. She's married, been trying to have a baby for a long time, and has had two tubal pregnancies. She has lost both of her tubes, which means she cannot have a baby on her own.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

So now it's like, you know, now she's weighing her options out. She wants a baby more than anything in the world, so she's. She's really looking at all her options. Like, some people, you know, they want to be pregnant, they want to have children, and it's just not. Not going to work out for them.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

You know, and I don't think that you should. I don't think that you should knock anybody.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. No matter what their reasoning is. Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then Larsa says she has good friendships with them. And then she goes, even Adriana.

[Lisa Rinna]

It's like, Britney. Even Britney.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Oh, my God.

[Lisa Rinna]

Do you know what I just realized this morning? Britney was not in that US Weekly photo shoot.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, because she's a friend of.

[Lisa Rinna]

Oh, okay.

[Tamara Judge]

That's my. That's my reason.

[Lisa Rinna]

So you think because she was a friend of. She's. Okay.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, that. That's my guess. Because she's a friend of. She didn't get it.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And then Alexia cries about how the girls were there for her. Who do you think should be the.

[Tamara Judge]

Most worried about coming back?

[Lisa Rinna]

Oh, that's a tough one, because I tell you, I never know what the network's thinking.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

I never know.

[Lisa Rinna]

You know, after the season's over, they do focus groups. I don't know how much they look into social media anymore. I don't know what all goes into it. So it's really, really difficult.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So let's go through the list. It's Alexia, Lisa, Julia, Gertie, Larsa, Marisol.

[Tamara Judge]

Adriana, Kiki, and Stephanie.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So I would say Stephanie's definitely back.

[Lisa Rinna]

I say Julia's on the bottom of the list.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You say Julia's on the bottom of the list?

[Lisa Rinna]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Alexi is back. No doubt. Marisol is back. I would like to see Marisol as a housewife.

[Tamara Judge]

I think she'll stay a friend of, but not because she's not great. Just because I think she kind of.

[Lisa Rinna]

Likes it because she allows it.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

Like Brandi Glanville said, once a side, always a side.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Remember that?

[Lisa Rinna]

But here's the thing with Marisol. She does family stuff. They film in her house. So she's basically a housewife. There's not much different. So I would imagine that her pay is right up there with housewives.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, me too.

[Lisa Rinna]

So does it really matter at that point? Because at the end of the day, it's all about the ching ching.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

I am fine with the entire cast coming back. Honestly, I think that the lowest on the totem pole would probably be Julia.

[Tamara Judge]

What a lot of people are saying Adriana.

[Lisa Rinna]

Adriana moves storylines and she's messy.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Lisa Rinna]

And she's a friend of too. Right.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But they don't really.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, she's a friend of, but they don't really show her home life at all, I don't think. Well, they're showing more.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

They're kikis originally.

[Lisa Rinna]

That's how housewife friends are. No home life, no boyfriend. Husbands really are seen. No life partners. So who knows?

[Tamara Judge]

Who knows?

[Lisa Rinna]

I'm fine. I'm fine with the cast.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I'm fine with the cast, too.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And I think that, you know, it was a good season.

[Tamara Judge]

It wasn't a great season. I think that it'll just keep getting better. I think there. I think Stephanie, as much as I've given her hell, I think she was a good addition.

[Lisa Rinna]

I told ya. Maybe we can get her on the pod at BravoCon.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, that would be fun.

[Lisa Rinna]

We need to come up with a list of who we want. Send us a list, guys, of who you want. And we're just going to get them on the fly. Get them in 15 minutes because I know everybody's so busy.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Send us a list of who your favorites would be and we'll do our best in getting them. But thank you guys so much for tuning in to another episode of two T's in a Pod.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

We love y'.

[Tamara Judge]

All.

[Lisa Rinna]

Bye.
