[Tamara Judge]

Is he staying with you?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, absolutely not.

[Tamara Judge]

He always Stays at that hotel?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. Stays at the hotel.

[Tamara Judge]

That fancy hotel.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Is he coming out for work?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, there's all the. I think there's all those, like, Grammy things that are this weekend.

[Tamara Judge]

Does he hate this stuff?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yes.

[Tamara Judge]

Yes. I could see him saying that now. I just saw that he's going on tour.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I know he's going on tour and he's playing all of his hits.

[Tamara Judge]

Does he normally go on tour? Has he been. I mean, when was the last time he's on tour?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I mean, probably three years ago, maybe more. I'm not sure. But a couple years ago and. But he doesn't play all the hits, so this is huge. He'll play a couple hits here and there, but, like.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, this is just all of his hits.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, that'll be fun. How long does he travel when he does that? Like, months.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Months.

[Tamara Judge]

Oof. That's gotta take a lot out of you.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And I think he's gonna be playing here at the Hollywood Bowl.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, then we're gonna go see him.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, for sure.

[Tamara Judge]

The Valley, Persian style. We are on episode five now. And let's have some fun with this, because it's picking up at Adam's birthday party.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Okay.

[Tamara Judge]

Gigi steps outside with Adam and comes back in to the table after smoking weed and is much calmer. This girl loses her to a level I've never seen before coming from me.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, I have another question. Can somebody please explain to me why MJ took her dog to the bar?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. I don't. Emotional support dog. I don't know. But maybe that's what I need to do next season. Just carry a dog with me.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Just bring rugby everywhere. That'll go under the radar. Right.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, Reza insinuating that Gigi is only entertaining Dennis because the money. Yeah, she's moving. He thinks she likes the money. She needs the money.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But I didn't even really understand what was happening. Like, he was, like, laying in her bed.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know what's going on, but it's not good. I think she needs to get away from him.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, she had Adam do her dirty work and get him away from them.

[Tamara Judge]

I loved when Adam stepped in. He made a comment like, I can't remember what it was, but he was like, you go away or you stop it. I don't know what it was, but he got a little activated for a second.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, he did. He did. But before all this, then back at the house, sky tells Gigi she will go smoke with her. And then Gigi tells Sky about her working through her anger management.

[Tamara Judge]

It's really working. Like, just smoke a bunch of weed. You're gonna be okay.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Smoke at least $4,000 worth of weed a month.

[Tamara Judge]

Don't worry about the Prozac. Just go straight to the weeds.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, but she doesn't seem to be not losing it. Well.

[Tamara Judge]

Right. Well, she said she has major anger issues. And then they did that flashback of when she tried to attack Teresa.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

We need to get to the other reservoir. Reserva. Reserva. Oh, my God. Make it stop.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Make it stop.

[Tamara Judge]

I mean, if you look up douchebag in the dictionary, I. It's got to have a picture of

[Teddy Mellencamp]

him and the girl he brings on the date.

[Tamara Judge]

Didn't Reza bring his dog on vacation?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think bringing them on vacation is one thing. Bringing them out to dinner is while on vacation. It's another thing.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, that's for sure. Like, we take our dog everywhere we go, but not, like, if we're gonna go, like, on a overnight vacation, he can stay home with Sophia.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But what. What are your thoughts on sky at this point?

[Tamara Judge]

She's a lot. And she just has that personality that pisses everybody off. Her comments, the things she says, putting skin care on a dog. Like, she just does the things that irritate the out of people.

[Special Agent Riegel]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

And it's not going to go well for her. I mean, she's on the show called the Valley, and all she talks about is trying to get the hell off the show. The Valley. She wants to get out of the Valley. But do you want off the show, too? I doubt that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No.

[Tamara Judge]

And then Russ says the whole time, no, no. She's going to go to Beverly Hills and buy a house for $2 million.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I'd like to see that house.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I like to see that house, too.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I'm really sure about that.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. With a pool.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I feel like her husband's, like, silent through all of this.

[Tamara Judge]

He has to. If he says anything, which he does or he doesn't, I can't remember. And she jumps down his throat like, you not there for me. And I don't know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But why did she always wear those headbands?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. She thinks she's on Traders.

[Special Agent Riegel]

I don't know.

[Tamara Judge]

But when? In the morning, when RJ comes out in the kitchen in his underwear and the face mask. Eye mask, like, up on his forehead. No. Ick. Yuck. Stop. And then did you see him just like this against the wall.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But what is it with the Valley men and their saggy Briefs on camera.

[Tamara Judge]

Eddie wore those briefs. Tighty, whitey, whatever you want to call them. I'd be like, you get in there and you change. Yeah, we are not looking at that. Although. Okay. So my hair girl told me to preserve my big old thick extensions right now. To get one of those bonnets to wear.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

And put your hair in it. So I've had it for a month and I'm too embarrassed to wear it to bed. So I'm like, okay, I'm gonna wear it. Oh, my gosh. Took it off. Hair's not messed up. It's beautiful. So just a little tip there, girls with extensions get this.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

All the kids wear the bonnets. These.

[Tamara Judge]

They do, yes. So I'm late to this game. Why do kids wear them?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't know. Because they. They blow out their hair, do whatever and then they want it to stay.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. I didn't realize that it makes it stay. Like, normally I wake up and my hair is sticking up everywhere. I put that bonnet on and, oh my God, I woke up and it was like I just had a fresh blowout.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But did it bug you at all having the bonnet? A little bit, yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I mean, I definitely think I have to get used to it. And then I was worried I was going to have like a big like line across my forehead or something like that, and I didn't.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

And then it's over my ears. I can't hear anyways. So then I was trying to watch TV and then I had to poke my ears out. I think I need a hearing aid.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

We need hearing and memory aids. To all the parents out there trying to juggle work and your kids schedules, I see you and Blue Apron just made our lives easier. It's my ultimate hack for getting in a nutritious and delicious dinner on the table for my family. And 30 minutes or less, you don't

[Teddy Mellencamp]

The nurse who should have been in

[Tamara Judge]

charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history.

[Amanda Knox]

Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict. A villain. A nurse named Lucy Letby.

[Tamara Judge]

Lucy Letby has been found guilty.

[Amanda Knox]

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

[Tamara Judge]

The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses.

[Amanda Knox]

I'm Amanda Knox and in the new podcast the Case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was.

single level of the British establishment of this is wrong.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

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

[Special Agent Riegel]

I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question of his life. And that's a unicorn.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable.

[Special Agent Riegel]

This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its vault of secrets.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

Listen to the 6th Bureau on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

After RJ comes in to the kitchen in his underwear, Tannen and Sky have a conversation about their communication with their husbands. This doesn't go well. No.

[Tamara Judge]

I mean, don't you think that sky would be an exhausting friend?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, Tanner doesn't feel like sky cares about others the way she wants them to care about her. And I completely see that when she said, oh, like, at my birthday party, I, you know, put all my gifts in her car, and I was like, can you drop some on the way? And she's like, no, I'm too tired. And so she had to send an Uber 5 minutes to pick up the presents. That's a.

[Tamara Judge]

That's a dick move. That's like, is she an only child? Is that her problem? She thinks the world resolves around her.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't know, but it's revolves, not resolves.

[Tamara Judge]

I said revolve. I'm still a little loopy from the. Sorry, but, I mean, she's exhausting. And then we see a flashback. They show a flashback of sky rubbing tannin skin care line on her dog. I mean, would you. I would have been offended. Like, oh, I got skin care. Let me just rub it on my. Like, what are you doing?

[Weight Watchers Narrator]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Did you. And she tried to say that she put it on herself first. I didn't notice that.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't care if you put it on yourself. You don't put on your dog. Yeah, it was just. She gets under my skin, Teddy.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She gets under. I feel like she gets under everybody's skin. And including, like, I think including her husband. Yeah, her husband is. He's just thrown in the towel.

[Tamara Judge]

Poor guy. Poor, poor guy.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then Gigi tells Dennis that last night he kept bringing up things about her past, and she didn't like it. Gigi tells him that she is smarter than him, and Dennis responds that he is more successful and that Gigi has no career or Money. Gigi then tells Dennis to go pack up his stuff and leave.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I love when she said, pack. Pack your bags and your belly button and go.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I know. Zip up your bags and your belly button and let's go.

[Tamara Judge]

Get out. Did he have, like, some funky belly button or something or what? Where did that come from?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I. I've never heard before.

[Tamara Judge]

Jacuzzi for a belly button. Well, he had no shirt on, right? Is that what it was?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

He had a wife beater on. I think he did. Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

But when. When she said, like, leave, like, get out of the house, he didn't. He went, like, race car driving.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, he begins to leave, and then MJ convinces him to stay. But then what's confusing to me is Gigi is confusing because she brought this man here. But why did she bring him here?

[Tamara Judge]

To cause problems. That's why. MJ doesn't like him. And then MJ's telling him, trying to convince him to stay. That's why.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

For Gigi's sake.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, Gigi want him to leave, but

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Gigi's the one that brought him there in the first place without telling anybody.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, then he pissed her off. So he had him and his belly button. Had to hit the road. Get in your fancy car and hit the road.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, they're at the house. What feels like an eternity.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. It's only been two episodes.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. And Natasha and Amir finally arrive at the house. In the kitchen, Reza brings up to Natasha how emotional the medium made him feel when talking about Amir. And I felt. Yeah, I felt for Natasha in this.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, absolutely. I mean, she comes out and says, like, I've always kind of felt like the other woman. Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She's like, no, it's not like they decided to break up.

[Tamara Judge]

That's got to be very, very, very difficult. I think that's like, in life, a lot of widows, widowers come together because they have that in common.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

You know, losing a spouse or a partner and being with somebody that was so in love with his wife in. Lost her, even though they would have two or three kids now and seem very.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Seem like the best couple on the show.

[Tamara Judge]

Right. It's. Oh, it's got to be so difficult. But then she felt, like, relief, like, you know, the. The wife approved of her and was happy for him and all that. What happens when you go to heaven?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't know.

[Tamara Judge]

Does that mean that they have threesomes up there?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Happy endings, like on Beverly Hills.

[Tamara Judge]

The husband, the new wife, the old wife. How's that work?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't know,

[Tamara Judge]

I'm so old, I think that I would just be like, I'm good.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I'm good.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't need anybody. I'll just wait till I get to heaven.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You think you're going to heaven, Tam?

[Tamara Judge]

It's questionable. Yes, I do.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, then Greg takes part of the group to the racetrack.

[Tamara Judge]

I've been to that racetrack before.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Fun.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. I mean, just watching RJ drive and. And the flipping off in the car,

[Teddy Mellencamp]

and, well, like, Amira had already done the driving, and it was good, but then they switched, and then RJ drives Amir in his car, and it spins out of control, and the. But the two of them end up fine. But it's just so.

[Tamara Judge]

It was just like, dude, you're so arrogant. You're just, you know, everyone.

[Nancy Glass]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I'm like, how old are you?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I really do want to see.

[Tamara Judge]

And then watching that wreck with the sand flying brought back memories for me for flipping the dune buggy because we flipped, and there was just sand everywhere. At first, I thought their window was down because the sand looked like it was coming through the dirt. Look like it was coming through window. But, you know, those workers were like, ah, what did this guy do to the car? And can he pay for it?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, God.

[Tamara Judge]

I think he just spun out in the dirt. He just lost control. He's lucky he didn't roll. Yeah. All because he was trying to be so cool.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But what about the music they would play when, like, sky versus her husband were driving? Like, anytime Sky's husband was driving, it was like. And she driving, it would be like,

[Tamara Judge]

she's a wrecking ball. Yeah, that's for sure.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then why.

[Tamara Judge]

Why. Why is Dennis coming to dinner? Why is he invited to dinner? He was told to hit the road with his belly button, and now he's

[Teddy Mellencamp]

coming to dinner because he also went on the. The driving the cars.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, he was supposed to hit the road.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, but he. He doesn't really realize his boundaries.

[Tamara Judge]

He doesn't understand social cues. Get out, Take your belly button, and go.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

He didn't understand that. He thought he left his belly button, and so he thought he had to come back for it.

[Tamara Judge]

She had it in her purse.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She had. Maybe it's just his belly button ring. Maybe his appearing.

[Tamara Judge]

I know, but she has bombshot go into Dennis's room and politely, very politely ask him to leave.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I mean, Dennis took getting kicked out of that Palm Springs house twice a lot better than I would have.

[Tamara Judge]

Did he actually leave then? Yeah, he did leave. It's like, okay, we've had enough of you. It's time for you to go.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

There's not enough room for you in this house.

[Tamara Judge]

No, but he took it pretty well, I thought.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Do you think he went to go check into a hotel or you think he drove back to la?

[Tamara Judge]

Good question.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Do you think he thinks that there's a chance than him and Gigi are ever going to hook up again?

[Tamara Judge]

I'm not sure. And why? If they had this business. I'm confused. On the business they had together, because if they haven't spoke in months, this business was put on hold and it's just. It went under. But all the product is just sitting on a shelf. Because to get product and like they have on it takes time.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

So I'm assuming, like, okay, well, we're back on tv, so let's try to get this product moving.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, let's.

[Tamara Judge]

It's just sitting in storage. And what am I going to do with 5,000 vibrators?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And what are you gonna do with five?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do if I'm gonna be passing them out to my friends. Could you. What do you do? Like, you have. Okay, do you sell them to home goods? Like, what do you do when you're left with that kind of inventory of vibrators?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You're. I mean, it has to be sold

[Special Agent Riegel]

online,

[Tamara Judge]

but if they're not selling and

[Teddy Mellencamp]

you're stuck with them, then you give them to every friend, you know, and

[Tamara Judge]

then I feel like you could do like an Amazon store or something and try to get rid of them. I mean, you can't exactly take them to Goodwill. Be like, I'd like to donate 5,000 vibrators.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, in the preview, they show Dennis taking a mirror to look at the products.

[Tamara Judge]

So they're trying to relaunch it.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. So I think the relaunch is happening.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, so they had all of this stuff stuck in a warehouse somewhere, and they're going to get back together. Although they can't even be in a house within 24 hours. And that's who you want your business partner to be.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Doesn't make sense.

[Tamara Judge]

Not a good move. Not a good move at all.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

The nurse who should have been in

[Tamara Judge]

charge of caring for tiny babies is

[Teddy Mellencamp]

now the most prolific child care killer

[Tamara Judge]

in modern British history.

[Amanda Knox]

Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict. A villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby.

[Tamara Judge]

Lucy Letby has been found guilty.

[Amanda Knox]

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

[Tamara Judge]

The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses.

[Amanda Knox]

[Nancy Glass]

He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I'm like, lord, this can't be real.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

Real.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I thought it was a mistaken identity.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

I was a monster.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Did this entire episode. Did MJ even talk to her husband?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't think so. She left early, though, right? Did I see her leave early?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, I don't think so. I mean, she went to the. Fine. The final family feast.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, I thought that. For some reason, I thought she was like, okay, I gotta leave early.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No. What about how when the kids showed up at the house to go swimming?

[Tamara Judge]

What happened?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Nothing.

[Tamara Judge]

Nothing

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Point.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, they're at dinner, they have this big old feast. And then, of course, sky has to go on and talk about how she doesn't like the Valley. She's upset with the rest of the group, especially Greg, and she wants to live in Beverly Hill Hills. And she's like. She's like. She's like a snob.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. And she doesn't. When people say something to her, she just gets meaner. She doesn't ever say, like, oh, well, I don't take that personally. It's just. I personally don't want to live in the Valley. Like, she's like, I hate the Valley. There's no good restaurants. There's no good this, there's no good that.

[Tamara Judge]

Do you think that Alex Baskin sitting. They're watching this and going, shut up. You are on the Valley. Stop saying that. Act like you like it.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, what Reza then can't just let it lie. He has to bring up the serum incident, that sky rubbed tannin serum on her dog. And sky starts saying that Tannen only buys her jewelry at a discounted price. What the hell was this all about?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. Something to just throw out there. And then after bragging about knowing the owner of Erewhon. Erewhon, where you can buy four strawberries for $30. And that makes you feel so good about yourself.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. So, I mean, she's never gonna be able to buy that house if she's gonna keep shopping solely at Errone.

[Tamara Judge]

Rez is like, can you stop spending money? And her husband's like, my life I mean, but you need to run, dude.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But I still don't understand why putting serum on your face. That's your friends. Has anything to do with discounted jewelry.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't get it either. I don't get it. But what did she say to Gigi? Something about, oh, you weren't worth the napkin that I blow my nose on. And then she went and then acted like she threw it. And I'm like, are you serious right now?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, she's really trying to get at her. I think she wants Gigi to blow.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I think Gigi was about to blow. She was about to blow, and it's just like. Really? Come on.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But who does she really get along with other than.

[Tamara Judge]

No one.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Not even her husband?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No.

[Tamara Judge]

Her kids.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

We haven't seen them.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. I know,

[Teddy Mellencamp]

but. Yeah. Then Skye tells Gigi that she will drop her. Yeah. That's when she says, I'll drop her. Like the nap. When she cleans her nose with. And Gigi calls her a piece of and tells Gigi she is beneath her. Sky makes the motion of rubbing her nose and throwing the napkin on the floor.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

I don't.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

It's just mean.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, clearly, Sky's the villain in this, but it's not even that she's like, the villain. She's just so unaware. And then the way she talks to people, it's just. It's not good.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Who is she? Because I'm looking here. She. She came in through Tannin. Have you noticed I've never even seen sky and Natasha speak.

[Tamara Judge]

No, they haven't. So it's so weird because Tannen seems so sweet and so nice.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

How does she. How is she friends with Sky?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't know. But what do you think they're gonna do with this show?

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. I mean, it's too early to know. I mean, next episode should be good

[Teddy Mellencamp]

because people are saying the show is really good. People are liking the show.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. No, I like the show. I just don't know what they're gonna do with, like, Sky. How did. How does she. Gigi's gonna annihilate her.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. I mean, there's no way she's gonna let that go. There's not enough pot in Los Angeles to let that go.

[Tamara Judge]

No, I agree with that. So it's. I think it's going to start getting explosive moving forward.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I think so as well. So we've got two good weeks coming from us for us next week.

[Special Agent Bradley Hall]

No.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And then Beverly Hills, and I know

[Tamara Judge]

Beverly Hills looks really good next week. I can't wait.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And we've got some new shows coming back. We've got Summer House coming back.

[Tamara Judge]

I know we never talked about Kyle and Amanda splitting up.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I know. But can we talk about something for a second? Why did they go to such lengths to show that they hadn't broken up when they did?

[Tamara Judge]

I think they were probably. It's probably going to play out on the show is what I'm thinking. So they wanted to keep it under wraps. I did notice, like, when I was at BravoCon, I saw one or the other, but I never really saw them together.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I did too.

[Tamara Judge]

And then they would joke. She would joke about it on social media.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She like, showed her little. Like it was like a doll house.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Like a little Debbie house. So that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

That's the part that made me a little confused because it was like, if you're gonna go to that. Those lengths, then maybe they are still together.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I know. I think that I. He did an interview or did a Instagram or something story where he said that they're on good terms and you can't wait for everybody to see how it plays out or something like that. So that's good.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, that's good.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. I mean, I have the same show together.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So I'm excited for that show to start back up, but it's going to be so weird without Paige.

[Tamara Judge]

I know. So Lindsay's on it, right? Because I know there's like some spin off, right?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

And so is who's on the spin off versus who's on the cast for Summer House.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I don't know.

[Tamara Judge]

Because they can't take the whole cast. And this is the same show. So they took a few people. Kyle, Lindsay and Amanda. Just Kyle and Amanda and Lindsay are going to be on the same show.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. The one that in the city,

[Tamara Judge]

huh. I'm curious to see what that's going to be about.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Did you see Carl get a big shout out from Chrissy Teigen?

[Tamara Judge]

I saw something. What was it for? Oh, for being sober.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She wrote a big long thing about Carl and how he helped. And I was like, well, you know what? These reality TV stars, they can. They can really pull it up.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Get shit done.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I did. I saw something about that on social media.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then we've got Jesse and West.

[Tamara Judge]

I wonder if they're getting any new blood for Summer House. I'm excited for Summer House.
