Kevin Smith
The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions today.

Tiffany Moon
Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamara Judge
Hi, guys. Welcome back to another episode of the Twat Seats. Today we have Tiffany Moon, a mother, a wife, entrepreneur, anesthesiologist, a TV personality, and we are going to get in to everything with her, including her new book. Well, hello. Hello. Hi, beautiful. I am tired. Well, you look amazing, so I just want to really get into it with you. What is new? Tell me, tell me everything.
Tiffany Moon
Mostly right now. We're knee deep in book launch mode.
Tamara Judge
Yes, I saw that.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah. So, Joy Prescriptions, May 6th. It's a memoir. It took me almost two and a half years to write, so really a labor of love. It's basically a memoir with, like a self help message. And there's a chapter about real Housewives in there because people always want the tea on that.
Tamara Judge
Of course. Do you miss the show? Do you miss it? Or you're like, girl, no. No drama.
Tiffany Moon
It's too much drama. Which I should have known before I started, but I was really naive and I really thought that it was gonna be fun and I was gonna make all these new girlfriends, and it just wasn't.
Tamara Judge
That usually isn't. I'm not gonna lie. Usually isn't.
Tiffany Moon
I look at some of the ladies on the other franchises, though, like yours and Beverly Hills and Miami, and I just. I always think to myself, like, if I could have been on a different franchise, like, things could have turned out differently. I just didn't really gel with the Dallas ladies.
Tamara Judge
It all depends on the cast for sure, right? Absolutely. Now, who out of the ladies do you still talk to?
Tiffany Moon
Just Deandra. Really?
Tamara Judge
Oh, really? So no one else?
Tiffany Moon
No, I never really got close to anyone else.
Tamara Judge
So you did you know them prior to filming? Oh, so it's not like you guys were like these great friends that you're like.
Tiffany Moon
No.
Tamara Judge
Had a falling out with or something?
Tiffany Moon
No, like, I was literally, like, thrown in there as the single newbie and, you know, like, think or swim kind of situation.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. So your book, Joy Prescription is coming out May six. Now you talk about how you learned to not be a perfectionist and live your life. How do you do that? I need advice.
Tiffany Moon
I think when you grow up with the mentality that, like, you have to get straight A's, and everything has to be perfect. It just doesn't leave very room much room for, like, exploration or creativity. Right. Like, if you have a fixed mindset and you think, oh, I can't learn new skills, or I don't want to embarrass myself, then you will never put yourself out there, even in terms of, like, starting a business or being on social media. Like, I had to give up this pretense of trying to be perfect, or else I would have never done those things.
Tamara Judge
Now you're a big presence on TikTok. Like, I love watching your TikToks.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah. It's funny, I just started that in 2020 because of the pandemic, and I was bored. Like, I never thought that it would surmount to anything.
Tamara Judge
Well, it did now. Did now. Do you feel like becoming a mom has changed your perspective on life?
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, I think becoming a mother taught me a lot about patience and a lot about, you know, letting things go. Like, learning to pick your battles and not harp on every single little thing and to sort of, like, you know, enj the moments for what they are instead of trying to make them picture perfect.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I. I feel like you're a little bit of an overachiever. I really do. You are. Right.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
All the things. You can't sit down, can you?
Tiffany Moon
I can't. It's just. It's not in my nature.
Tamara Judge
You're quite the entrepreneur.
Tiffany Moon
So are you.
Tamara Judge
I try. I really do. And I. I listened to you talk and I thought, God, there's so much more that I could do. Because, you know, you do. I don't think you're like this, but you. You get to a point where you're like, yeah, this business is doing well. Yes. I have a podcast, and you're like, I'm comfortable. But I think you're the one that's like, what's next? What can I do next?
Tiffany Moon
I think when you're comfortable, then you're generally not growing. Right. You're not stressing the system. And so every time I get comfortable, you know, I became a doctor. That was very difficult residency. I'm learning so much. But then after doing it for, like, seven, eight years, you pretty much have a handle on things, you know? And I'm like, okay, I need something else to, like, stimulate me, something else to lear. Learn something else to be challenged by. Because I just. I feel like if you're acclimated to what you're doing, you're not learning anything new.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I'm not sure that you covered this. But what do you think somebody can do to start living their more authentic self?
Tiffany Moon
I think people need to stop caring so much what other people think. I think our society cares way too much. I think social media is largely to blame for that because everyone has their, you know, best face forward on their feed.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Tiffany Moon
When you're looking, it seems like everyone's living this great, fabulous life, when in fact they're not. Or perhaps not, but they're just putting out the best parts of it for you to see.
Tamara Judge
So I think I always say it's like your filtered life.
Tiffany Moon
Yes. I always say it's like their greatest hits, you know, and you can't compare your everyday to somebody else's greatest hits. So I think people need to stop the cycle of, like, compare and despair. Always looking at somebody else and feeling like you're not good enough or someone else's business is farther along than you. Like, it's just, it's a zero sum game to constantly compare yourself to other people because somebody's always going to be doing better. And I just don't think that should be what motivates you to move forward.
Tamara Judge
You know, I agree with that. Now, what are your thoughts on social media? Just the hate and the stuff that goes on.
Tiffany Moon
So you're hiding behind this screen name that has like a picture of a dog or like a Bible verse and, and just out there. Hate.
Tamara Judge
That's so funny that you say that. It's always an animal and a Bible verse.
Tiffany Moon
Yes.
Tamara Judge
And I'm like, oh, and I love my grandchildren.
Tiffany Moon
Right? Right. And they're like, you need to go back to China. And I'm like, oh, my God. Like, it, it's just people way too seriously. Like, it's not meant to be your actual life. It's just supposed to kind of, you know, be something that we track, you know, but people like, live and die on social media. And I'm like, you need to go outside and touch some grass. Or like, you need to be in the real world and get off of Twitter because this is not good for your mental health. Yeah, but when you ask about the haters and stuff. When I first became, like, well known, right when, you know, Real Housewives of Dallas was showing, and by then I had a couple hundred thousand social media followers, I used to take those really mean comments to heart. Like, I would cry because someone called me ugly or said my voice was so annoying. Like, why do you talk like that? Do you think you're a Kardashian? And I'm like, I don't know why I talk like this. Okay. Like, this is just how I learn English and this is how I sound.
Tamara Judge
I. I don't. I don't see that comparison to the Kardashian.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, like, they draw their words fry. Yeah, it's like. Well, I don't know. Like, I don't. I don't know.
Tamara Judge
You're not like that.
Tiffany Moon
I hope not. I mean, I speak professionally on stages. Like, people pay me to give keynotes and stuff, so I hope that my voice isn't that annoying. But I just. I think those people always have something to pick on, you know, because they're such miserable human beings that they actually, you know, get pleasure from trying to bring you down. Like, oh, how dare you be a smart, successful woman who's confident and knows her value, knows her place in this world. Like, how dare she be so content and happy? I'm going to say something to try to knock her down a notch, and I just think that's a terrible, terrible way to live. So now, you know, a lot of times, now that I have a social media manager, I don't even see a lot of those comments because I think she gets to them before me and blocks people. But I gave her free range. I was like, look, if someone comes on my page, like, social media, my page is my house. If you want to come in and misbehave, you'll get kicked out. You will get kicked out immediately. And, like, I don't want to hear anything about it. You know what I mean? Like, this is my space. You come into my space acting a fool, I'll kick you out.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
As you should.
Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith
The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions.
Israel Gutierrez
From the building of the corps that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport, I just.
Kevin Smith
Felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down.
Israel Gutierrez
Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6 foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to.
Kevin Smith
Love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that like Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it, come.

Tamara Judge
Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted.
Israel Gutierrez
Has spent 24 of those years in.
Tamara Judge
Jail, 12 years in solitary.
Rod
He went from an ex con to a literary darling almost overnight.
Tamara Judge
He was instantly a celebrity, he was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show.
Rod
Go Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable.
Israel Gutierrez
I had a knife go in my.
Damien Hirst
Stomach, puncture my spleen, break my rib. I had my guts all in my.
Rod
Hands, only to find himself back where he started.
Tamara Judge
Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong that one.
Rod
Rod from Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts, listen to GoBoy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.
Tamara Judge
I learned that you were asked to join the Real Housewives of Dallas in season four and you declined.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And then what changed your mind to accept season five?
Tiffany Moon
I don't know. It's kind of like a guy that keeps asking you out and you're kind of like, I don't know. And then he asks you out the third time, you're like, fine, buy me dinner, whatever, you know, I didn't even when I was trying out for season five, first we had a Zoom interview, then they flew me out to la. I didn't. I actually think I was going to get picked, honestly, because I'm not like super glam. I was working full time as an academic anesthesiologist with twin toddlers. And I kept saying during my interviews, like, thank you for this opportunity, but I'm not sure I can commit to doing the show. Like, it's kind of a lot. I don't know.
Tamara Judge
I always thought about like, even Nicole on Miami.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, yeah.
Tamara Judge
Like, she was. She's an anesthesiologist. And I'm like, you guys work like these long shifts and like, you. It would be hard to film a show like Housewives because it's so demanding and actually have a job where you go and spend hours at a time.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, no, it was rough. I was working full time while filming and so for dinner parties, I Told production I was like, I have a hard out at 10pm because I generally wake up at like 5:36 and I have to be in the hospital by like 6:45.
Tamara Judge
You're responsible for keeping people alive.
Tiffany Moon
Right. And so I told production I was like, I have a two drink maximum and a 10 p pm cutoff on weekdays where I have to go to work the next morning. And production was cool with it. They were like very respectful of it while my castmates were not. And they were like egging me to drink more, calling me boring, making.
Tamara Judge
Any of them have jobs? No.
Tiffany Moon
Girl, no.
Tamara Judge
Well, I know Carrie is a. Works with her husband, but the other girl is like, do they. Any of them have.
Tiffany Moon
Carrie was not working. Oh, Carrie Duber. Carrie Duber wasn' on my season. She.
Tamara Judge
Oh, she wasn't.
Tiffany Moon
She ended after. So Carrie Duber and I never filmed together.
Tamara Judge
I think she would understand because I know that she works.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, but even, I mean, she's an injector for her husband's plastic surgery practice. Do you know what I mean? I'm not downplaying that. I think she probably does great work. But like, if she can't take patients or has to move, you know, them to past 11am or something, it's fine. Like I have to be in the operating room at like 6:45 and I'm putting to sleep.
Tamara Judge
Like it's a very demanding career.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah. I can't dial it in and be like, oh, I was out late last night. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I also knew that my work was not entirely supportive of my being on the show. And so I was under a microscope at work so that if I came in late or wasn't on my A game, they'd be like, oh, it's because she's filming for Housewives. You know what I mean? Like, I knew that they were watching me very closely. So I was like, like, sure to, you know, go there early. Like never take a long lunch break. Like on my best behavior. Because I knew they were looking for me to make a mistake so they could be like, oh, this is why we didn't want you to do the show. You know, that kind of thing.
Tamara Judge
Well, I. Could you imagine like if you were like drunk and sloppy and messy and all the things I am on the show. And then you go the next morning and you're like, hi, I'm Tiffany, I am your anesthesiologist. And they're like, no, this ain't. This girl ain't putting me to sleep.
Tiffany Moon
Right, right.
Tamara Judge
It would have your career.
Tiffany Moon
No, I told them, I told production and I told my work. My hospital job will be my number one priority. Filming will not get in the way of it. And all the ladies like made fun of me because I had this alarm that would go off on my phone at like 9:30 so that production could call an Uber for me to get back home. And they'd be like, oh, her alarm's going off again. Tiffany's alarm's going off again. So the ladies like made so much fun of me.
Tamara Judge
Were you ever able to explain this? Like, I have, like, tell them, like, I have a job.
Tiffany Moon
I mean, it shouldn't be that hard to explain.
Tamara Judge
Well, yeah, I agree. Not.
Tiffany Moon
It's not a complicated concept.
Tamara Judge
So do you, do you think that you would do another reality show or you're like, no.
Tiffany Moon
You know, if you had asked me like right after Dallas got put on hiatus, I was like, hell no. I don't want anything to do with it. It's so toxic. But it's been like four years and I think a lot in my life has changed. So now I think I'm like warming up to it again. Maybe like if they were to reboot Dallas, especially if there were like, like almost all new people and I didn't have to film with the old people that I didn't get along with or if there was another show that wasn't Housewives, somebody told me that I should go on Traders.
Tamara Judge
Oh, I was going to ask you about that. I mean, the only thing about that, that's like a month long commitment. So you would. I. I know you. You have kids and you have a full time job. Like, could you get away for a month?
Tiffany Moon
If I knew ahead of time I could like snap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the planning, you know, like our vacation schedules are scheduled out six months in advance, so I would need to know like, okay, these three weeks, like, I really need off. Because they film in Scotland, right?
Tamara Judge
Yes.
Tiffany Moon
Did you have fun?
Tamara Judge
No. Oh, no. It's a long story. I got really sick as soon as I arrived. I got, I got Covid so bad. Like I thought I was going to be on a respirator.
Tiffany Moon
But then once you felt better and you actually started doing the game show, like, was it fun?
Tamara Judge
Yeah. By the time I started to feel well, they put me on some really strong antibiotics and I have intestinal issues. I've had surgery and I started getting really bad pains in between my rib cage. And that's the pains I had from other intestinal problems. So I knew something was going on. I got. Thank God. I actually got murdered as soon as I started to feel like the COVID stuff go away. And then by the time I got home, I was in the hospital. I got. Yeah, yeah.
Tiffany Moon
So you didn't have, like, the full experience, really?
Tamara Judge
No, I didn't. I did not have the full experience like I had. So I was hospitalized because the antibiotics they gave me were so strong that they put inflammation in my intestines. And I. It was just horrible. So I had that whole thing down my nose.
Tiffany Moon
NG2 yes.
Tamara Judge
So funny. They told me, they're like, I'm so sorry I have to do this. This is horrible. I hate doing this to people. I just sat there and they did it and they're like, what? I've never seen this happen before. Like, people gag.
Tiffany Moon
People are gagging out. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And I was just like, I go, I'm a freak. I'm a freak.
Kevin Smith

Tamara Judge
What if your, your kid said, hey, mom, I want to be on a reality show? What would you say?
Tiffany Moon
I mean, it depends on which show. I think reality TV is not all bad. You know, I think there's a lot of good things. Certainly I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity, you know, as a super big dork doctor, to have become a real housewife. Like, I. It's been a really great experience for me. I just, I just wish, like, it didn't have to get so toxic because, you know, one of my castmates, mates and her family, because, like, you know, the husbands get involved and the brother in law got involved. I was like, jesus, it's not husbands. It's so icky when, like, God is so ick.
Tamara Judge
My husband does not get involved, girl.
Tiffany Moon
Mine does not either. He would, like, do his little husbandly parts that he had to do his scenes. And then he's like, I'm out of here, you know?
Harvey Guillen
Right.
Tiffany Moon
So one of my castmates, her husband and his brother got involved and like, tried to come after my job at the university that I've worked at for like over a decade, like, tried to get me fired from the hospital. And I was like, are you, you kidding me? Like, it's a reality TV show. Like, we were fighting over chicken feet. It's like the stupidest shit ever. But, like, for you to actually come after my job, my career, like everything I've ever worked hard for. But I guess I don't expect them to understand, you know, that's what put like a really bad taste in my mouth at the end of the show because I thought that we would just have like little girl fights and then like makeup.
Tamara Judge
Well, that's the way it should be. It should be conflict resolution. But when they start doing things like that where they, you know, contact like either your sponsor, sponsors or your business or, you know, try to get you fired, that's where those people should be fired. I don't care who you are on account, you know, on the cast, if you're popular, if you're a Whatever. If you're doing things like that off camera, you should be gone.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah. So then, you know, I had to get lawyers involved, you know, because they're coming after my job.
Tamara Judge
So I feel. I feel you, girl.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah. Then Bravo got involved, and Bravo actually posted a statement, like, backing me up. So I felt like that that was.
Tamara Judge
Good that they did.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, that was good. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Because I feel like if they start getting rid of people that do stuff like that, then it's going to put a big statement out there that they're not going to put up with it.
Tiffany Moon
Right. Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. Well, if they brought Dallas back tomorrow, would you sign on?
Tiffany Moon
It depends on who else, don't you think? Like, if it was a women who, you know, worked and had businesses and knew what it was like to function in the world versus, you know, being like, you know, bragging that they have never paid a bill in their lives, like, I just can't get along with women like that as much as I've done. And everything that I promote about uplifting and empowering women, like, I just. It's not 1960, you know, can we. Dallas is so diverse. Surely they can find a group of diverse women to actually be on the show. I don't know.
Tamara Judge
Well, I do believe that that was Dallas's problem. It's all in the casting.
Tiffany Moon
Yes.
Tamara Judge
So if the casting doesn't mesh, then it's just. It shows.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
And I was shocked that they just completely. I do. Have you heard anything about it ever coming back? Is there.
Tiffany Moon
No. Once in a while I'll get post. I'll get tagged on a post or something that there's like a rumor that it's coming back. And I'm like, that's news to me. Ain't nobody called me. I have no idea. But I'm also not over here holding my breath for it. You know what I mean?
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Tiffany Moon
I'm moving about my regularly scheduled programming, but I think I would give it a try. Like, it's so funny. Like, four years ago, it would have been. Hell, no. Then the year after that. Like, no, I don't think so. And it's like, as the time, it's like childbirth. Oh, my God. You, like, forgot how terrible it was.
Israel Gutierrez
Yes.
Tiffany Moon
The baby. And you're like, oh, it's so cute. Like, maybe I could. It's like our brain, like, protects us.
Tamara Judge
It's. It's a little bit of a drug kind of like, it's like you get a high from it and it's exciting and then it's scary. And then you don't want to do it anymore. And then you do want to do it. It's. It's crazy. It really is.
Tiffany Moon
It is. And I will say the time when I was on Housewives, not filming, but when it was airing on tv, I was so self centered, I was like checking what people were saying in the comments and all this. And it like makes you be so self centered, whereas normally I'm not out there like looking to see what people in the world are saying about me. But I don't care.
Tamara Judge
You need, and I think all newbies need to understand this and this is something. And social media wasn't huge when I started 17 years ago. So I mean, we had MySpace, is that the newbies tend to get consumed with what's on social media and then they start self producing themselves or start talking back to the negative people trying to change their mind and getting obsessed with that, then talking to bloggers, trying to get them to do stories, like positive stories and all that stuff. And none of that stuff pans out. It does. Like just you. But it's a learning process. Us. Nobody, nobody in normal life deals with this until suddenly you're on a reality show and you're like, holy, I'm getting attacked. I'm getting this, I'm getting that. Like, what do I do? And you try to, you know, protect yourself and it, it doesn't work out. So you have to learn to just it is what it is. And people are going to say what they're going to say. Does it hurt? Yeah, it hurts. But you can also think of it like, who are they? Like, what kind of person does this? Like last. Yeah, when was the last time I got on their car dashing, you know, Instagram and started calling them names and you should do this. Like, who does that?
Tiffany Moon
Really awful people who need a job.
Tamara Judge
Help.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah. And help. Yeah, they need to find some joy in their lives.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. So you were on Below Deck. I just found this out.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, the below Deck thing was just like, not even, I don't know, like I didn't go on the, a yacht to go on Below Deck. Like I wanted to experience what it was like to, you know, be on a yacht for several days. And I generally don't ever do cruises because I get really seasick. So I was hesitant about going on the yacht. But it was in our one filmed in Ibiza, which I was told is pronounced Ibiza. And I was like, well, that's weird.
Tamara Judge
I didn't know that either.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, I was like, oh, I'VE been saying it wrong my whole life and it was so much fun. But like, I don't. I was on TV for like maybe two minutes out of that below deck episode. It's so weird. They shortened it and said we had a one night charter, but it wasn't, it was a two night charter. It was like very odd what they did with post production, but we weren't like a very rowdy bunch. Like we went to sleep at a normal time. Like nobody got drunk, nobody was rude to the staff. And so we were like a pretty boring charter, I think for below deck. Which is probably why when it felt, when it aired, they're like, oh, the next charter is only here for one night. I was like, no, we were there for two. It was probably so boring. They didn't have.
Tamara Judge
For a two night charter, you tip $25,000.
Tiffany Moon
I'm a big tipper.
Tamara Judge
Okay, clearly you made housewife history and below deck history. Were you trying to put the other charter guests to shame? Because that was a great tip for two nights.
Tiffany Moon
I actually don't know what a normal tip is. I had asked them and they said the normal amount of this charter for like the three days, two nights for six people would have been like a hundred ish thousand dollars. Right? But we only paid like half of that. Right? Because you get a discounted rate because you're filming or whatever. And I, you know, even when I get discounts or I go to a restaurant and they give me appetizers or a round of drinks or whatever, I always tip on like the full price it would have been. And I generally tip 25. Like when I, you know, go get a facial, get massage, go out to eat, like that's my standard rate. And so I was like, if it's a hundred thousand dollars, how much it would have been, then I'll just tip 25. Like I didn't even think anything of it. And then later when the show aired, which was like, oh my God, we taped in, we filmed in June of 2023. And I think the show aired like a year later. It was really long.
Tamara Judge
What were people's response to the tip? Were people making a big deal about it?
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, they were like, oh, this Bitch only spent one night on the yacht but tipped 25,000. I was like, first of all, it wasn't a one, it was a regular length charter. And I didn't think that $25,000 was a lot. Like, I literally just tipped 25% of what the cost of the trip would have been. And Then everybody was like, oh, okay. So some people were like, oh, that's great. She's so classy. Like, you know, she respects service people and always, like, very polite. One of our guests was, like, a little bit rude to one of the service people, but actually not at all. Like, our group was very well behaved. So some people were like, oh, she's such a classy queen. You know, big tip or whatever. And then some people were like, oh, she's such a show off.
Tamara Judge
And I'm like, I was gonna ask you. There you have it.
Tiffany Moon
You can't wait. You know what I'm saying?
Tamara Judge
You can't make everybody happy.
Tiffany Moon
That's like, you tip too little, they call you a cheapskate. Oh, she must not be as rich as she wants us to think she is. You tip big. What? You know what I thought was actually just normal. And then some people think you're great, and some people think you're trying to show off. And I'm just like. And. And this is what it's like.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, let's talk Birkin since we're talking money. You have quite the collection, right?
Tiffany Moon
Yes, ma'am, I have. I've been collecting, like, 40.
Tamara Judge
What?
Tiffany Moon
Well, okay, this is the thing. I got my first Birkin in 2008. So, like, now it's super trendy. Like, everyone wants one. There's so many fakes on the market. I see fakes all the time, like, in the street, and I'm like, that's a fake. But I started in 2008, right? So almost 20 years ago. And I at first would get, like, two bags. Bags per year, but now I go to Paris and I have my home store, so I'm basically getting, like, four bags a year.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my God. It won't be you now. You did. You talked about fake, and you stirred up quite the social media when you. You called out Marisol. You called out Marisol for having a fake bag. And. And social media went crazy.
Tiffany Moon
If you're filming for Housewives, like. Like, maybe that's not the best time to bring out your fakes, you know, I'm sure she has some real ones, like, use those or borrow one from a friend. But it's just. I just feel like.
Tamara Judge
Or don't have one at all. Just don't have one at all. That's what I say. Like, we've had girls on our show that wear, like, total fake designer clothes, and I've called them out. I'm like, just don't try to portray yourself as somebody you know, because all when you're wearing logos everywhere. You're just showing people you're. You're. To me, it's like you're being flashy. Look at me. I have money. All these things. But when you're wearing fake ones, that is. That gives me the biggest ick.
Tiffany Moon
Yes.
Tamara Judge
Because if you can't afford it, don't buy fake ones. It doesn't make you look any better. But most people out there would never know.
Tiffany Moon
Yeah, no, I can. I can spot a fake.
Tamara Judge
Well, if you have the real, you can spot a fake. That's for sure. But people. People don't.
Tiffany Moon
It's just so, like, no one cares. You know what I mean? Like, if you're hanging out with people who are judging you by what handbag you carry, like, you need new friends. Like, I love the Birkin as a timeless piece of craftsmanship. You know what I mean? But I also like all open bags. Like, I like bags that are structured that when you sit them on the floor, like, they don't flop. So I would never get, like, a Goyard tote or like a. An lv. Neverfull. Not because I don't like those companies, but because I like my bag to sit up straight when I set it down, and I don't ever close it. Like, I like reaching in and getting stuff.
Tamara Judge
How many bags overall do you think you have?
Tiffany Moon
Probably like a hundred.
Tamara Judge
Nice. Is there anybody else out there that we should know that's carrying fake bags?
Tiffany Moon
Oh, so many. There's so many influencers that carry fake bags. No housewives that I know of. But there's this account on Instagram called the Fake Birken Slayer, and it's so funny. Somebody accused me of being the fake Birken Slayer, and I was like, I'm so flattered, but I don't have that kind of time. And they basically post screenshots of people on Instagram who are with fake bags. It's a lot of influencers. You know, these influencers who, like, look a certain way and they. I've heard that they rent out this private jet that's grounded, but they take pictures inside the private jet to make look like they're flying somewhere.
Tamara Judge
Well, guys, stop doing that. You'll be better off if you just stop. Now, your book comes out May 6th. Got in. Is there any place particular you want to direct them to?
Tiffany Moon
They can get it on Amazon. They can also get it on joyprescriptions.com and because pre orders are so important, we have over $300 worth of bonuses that they get. If they get the book before me. Sixth.

Podcast Summary: Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Episode: The Twot Seat: Tiffany Moon (RHODallas)
Release Date: April 14, 2025
In this engaging episode of Two Ts In A Pod, host Tamara Judge welcomes Tiffany Moon, a multifaceted personality juggling roles as a mother, wife, entrepreneur, anesthesiologist, TV personality, and author. The duo dives deep into Tiffany's latest endeavors, particularly her upcoming memoir, providing listeners with an intimate glimpse into her life both on and off the camera.
Tiffany Moon shares exciting news about her forthcoming memoir, Joy Prescriptions, set to release on May 6th. Describing the book as a "labor of love," she explains that it intertwines her personal experiences with self-help insights, offering readers both a heartfelt narrative and practical advice. Notably, Tiffany dedicates a chapter to her time on The Real Housewives of Dallas, acknowledging the audience's perennial interest in the behind-the-scenes drama.
[03:31] Tiffany Moon: "Joy Prescriptions is a memoir with a self-help message. And there's a chapter about Real Housewives in there because people always want the tea on that."
Tiffany reflects candidly on her stint with RHODallas, expressing mixed feelings about the experience. Initially hopeful about forming genuine friendships, she quickly realized the environment was more tumultuous than anticipated.
[03:50] Tiffany Moon: "It's too much drama. Which I should have known before I started, but I was really naive and I really thought that it was gonna be fun and I was gonna make all these new girlfriends, and it just wasn't."
She highlights the challenges of balancing her demanding career as an anesthesiologist with the unpredictable nature of reality TV filming schedules. Tiffany also discusses her strained relationships with some cast members, ultimately maintaining a close bond only with Deandra.
[17:37] Tamara Judge: "Did you know anyone else prior to filming?"
[17:53] Tiffany Moon: "She was not on my season. We never filmed together."
Delving into personal growth, Tiffany emphasizes the importance of shedding perfectionist tendencies to explore creativity and embrace new challenges. She credits her journey to becoming comfortable with imperfection for her ventures into entrepreneurship and social media presence.
[05:14] Tiffany Moon: "I had to give up this pretense of trying to be perfect, or else I would have never done those things."
Becoming a mother has profoundly influenced Tiffany's outlook on life. She speaks about the lessons learned in patience, letting go, and appreciating moments as they are, rather than striving for an unattainable ideal.
[06:06] Tiffany Moon: "Learning to pick your battles and not harp on every single little thing and to enjoy the moments for what they are instead of trying to make them picture perfect."
Tiffany offers insightful commentary on the pervasive influence of social media, advocating for authenticity and self-acceptance. She warns against the detrimental effects of constant comparison and the curated nature of online personas, encouraging listeners to focus on their own journeys rather than external validation.
[07:31] Tiffany Moon: "People need to stop caring so much what other people think. When you're looking, it seems like everyone's living this great, fabulous life, when in fact they're not."
She also shares her strategies for managing negative interactions online, including delegating comment moderation to a social media manager to maintain a positive digital environment.
[08:30] Tiffany Moon: "Now that I have a social media manager, I don't even see a lot of those comments because she gets to them before me and blocks people."
Tiffany contemplates the possibility of returning to reality television, acknowledging the toxic environment she previously encountered. However, she remains open to future opportunities, especially if presented with a more harmonious cast and a different show format.
[19:55] Tiffany Moon: "If they were to reboot Dallas, especially with almost all new people and I didn't have to film with the old people that I didn't get along with, maybe I'd consider it."
Beyond her professional and television commitments, Tiffany discusses her passion for philanthropy and fashion, particularly her extensive collection of Birkin bags. She shares anecdotes about tipping generously in service-oriented settings, reflecting her values of respect and gratitude towards service professionals.
[36:19] Tiffany Moon: "I always tip on like the full price it would have been. I generally tip 25%."
Tamara and Tiffany wrap up the episode with warm congratulations on Tiffany's book launch and a mutual expression of admiration. The conversation underscores Tiffany's resilience, authenticity, and commitment to personal and professional growth, offering listeners both inspiration and practical advice.
[40:34] Tiffany Moon: "Thank you. Bye."
