Two teas in a pod with Teddy.

[Tamara Judge]

Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of the Twat Seat. On today's episode, we have Wells Adams. He was a contestant on the 12th season of the Bachelorette and was eliminated in week six. He later appeared on the third season of Bachelor in Paradise before becoming the hot bartender on the fourth season and keeping that position to this day. He has been married to Sarah Hyland since Aug. 20, 2022, and Wells was the first to be banished on season three of the trailers.

[Tamara Judge]

Is that your traitor's voice?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay. I just want to make sure. Something going on over there? You got a little throat thing or is that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

We're gonna do a little interview with Wells. Let's bring him on in.

[Wells Adams]

Yes, I was murdered.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I'm glad to see you're still alive.

[Wells Adams]

I'm glad I was the murderer. I was banished.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

We are obsessed. And I'm obsessed with Bachelor in Paradise. So the combination of the two.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I'm gonna admit I've never watched Bachelor. So Teddy's got all those questions, but as somebody that played Traders, oh, we got a lot to talk about.

[Wells Adams]

Oh, yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So for those of you housewife listeners, Wells is the guy from the Bachelor. He won over everybody's hearts because he wore a bunch of beanie caps and had this, like, nice, sweet demeanor. I think he was like a radio vj. Am I right? Do I remember this?

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. I was a morning morning show host.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah. So morning show host, then he went on Bachelor in Paradise. Didn't find love on Bachelor in Paradise. Right. And then became the bartender where everybody goes to. Because he's kind of the voice of reason, but he's also married to Sarah Hyland, which is pretty amazing. And I heard she was really disappointed in you and, what, Getting kicked off.

[Wells Adams]

She wasn't disappointed in me. I think that she just thought I was going to do better than I did. I thought I was going to do better than I did. Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

In the very beginning of the show, it's like, nobody really knows. They're just guessing. They're just throwing against the wall. It's like, oh, my God, he blinked weird. He's a traitor.

[Wells Adams]

Oh, yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

So it's the first few. Like, if you don't make it through the first four episodes, it's. I got. I got murdered on the fourth episode. So I was kind of pissed off.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She. That's her bragging. Like. Like getting to the fourth episode.

[Tamara Judge]

That's bragging. That is not bragging.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

It's bragging to somebody who got kicked off on the first episode. Yes.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, yes. But I just.

[Wells Adams]

I was. The second episode.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, that's going to say second. So I don't know. It's. I feel like if you. If you get kicked off within the first three. Three. It's like, you really don't really get into the game that much.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, I don't. Like, they. They have me doing all this press and, you know, they want me to come back for some, like, after show and I'm like, guys.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Wells Adams]

I think I was on this TV show. I don't know why you keep asking me that.

[Tamara Judge]

How I felt, too. I felt like I wasn't even.

[Wells Adams]

I wasn't.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. Did you watch last night's episode?

[Wells Adams]

No, I'm kind of.

[Tamara Judge]

Are you bitter?

[Wells Adams]

No. I mean, I was a little. I was salty at the moment, for sure. But now I'm like. I don't know. Like, I. I'll watch the entire thing, but I'm not going to be, like, glued. I also know what happens, you know, and so there's.

[Tamara Judge]

You've talked to the.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. People. Oh.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Before we get into how you got on Traders and all that stuff, we saw somebody had a cell phone on the cast. Like, we saw somebody holding a phone.

[Tamara Judge]

It was Carolyn.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, Carolyn. Or she was.

[Tamara Judge]

No, she was taking pictures in the billiards room. Now, when I was on it second season, you had zero phones. Not even. Like, when we were filming. We weren't allowed to take any pictures for social media, but it looks like now, are they allowing that?

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, but it's not your phone. It's like. It's like a. Yeah. Productions phone. So they'll be like, hey, go make a reel or whatever or do a thing. And so, yeah, you know, you remember, there's a lot of downtime. So when we have all that downtime, they would be like, let's go do. Let's go make you some promo stuff. So that's.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. So they're tweaking the format a little bit. Like, for us, there was no. And I'm like, why don't you. We need pictures to put on social media.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But question, are you allowed. Are you allowed to use the phone to contact people at home or.

[Wells Adams]

No. No, not really. They let. Yeah, they let you call. Like, I was able to call my wife. Like, well, I wasn't there for very long, but there was, like, one day that I was able to, like, I had a window to call her, just, like, let her know I was okay. But you can't tell. You can't tell them, like, what's happening in the game. You can't tell.

[Tamara Judge]

Somebody stands in front of you as you talk. So you. You were banished the first second episode, but you were probably there a few weeks, right?

[Wells Adams]

No, I was probably there like, a week, honestly.

[Tamara Judge]

That's it. Okay.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Because you guys didn't have to. You went on kind of during COVID time, right. Tam. So didn't. Wasn't that.

[Tamara Judge]

No, they. It was after Covid, but we had to be in our hotel rooms for three days before we started filming. Did you have to do that?

[Wells Adams]

I didn't, because I had something. I had, like, I had work. I, like, I had to film. And so I came in, like, right before we started going.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And then how'd you end up on Traders?

[Wells Adams]

They asked me to do it, like, two seasons ago, but I couldn't do it because they film when they film in June when. When I do Paradise. So I was always like, I can't do it. I have my other show that I got to do. And then we took a hiatus on paradise because they filmed Golden Bachelorette. So I had, like, the summer off, and I was like, oh, this will be fine. My wife was doing a run on Broadway, so I was like, I was gonna live in New York and just, like, hang out with her. And then they came to me, and I was like, oh, that might be fun. I'll go to, you know, Scotland for a little bit and and it was. It was a little bit. It was a very little.

[Tamara Judge]

I was gonna say that, but I thought, no, don't throw salt in that wound.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Had you watched Traders before? Like, did you feel prepped for the game?

[Wells Adams]

I mean, no. And, like, I think so. They offered me the. The show, and then I was like. I said no. I was like, no, because. Because, you know, I. I. Now I'm like, you know, on Paradise. Like, I'm not a contestant. I'm just kind of like someone who's, like, helping make the show. And, you know, I host another show on Hulu, and, like, so I was like, I'm kind of away from, like, being a part of, like, the competition side of things. And then I watched the show, and I was like, oh, this is really fun. I saw how well Pilot Pete did, and I was like, oh, I think. I think I could be like that, where I would.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, you couldn't.

[Wells Adams]

No, I couldn't.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, my God.

[Wells Adams]

Frustrating, because I did set a trap, and I didn't get to do it. Like, I got. I got banished too quickly. But, yes, then I watched it, and I was like, oh, this is really fun. So then I was like, oh, I'll go on the show. And then that's what I did.

[Tamara Judge]

Dylan actually reminds me of Pilot Pete. I don't know if he reminds you guys of him.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, for sure. He was super smart. Dylan and I had an alliance together, and that's why it was. It was super fun.

[Tamara Judge]

You guys would have been dangerous together.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

That's what.

[Tamara Judge]

I got rid of you.

[Wells Adams]

And so what happened was. So I say a thing which I stand by. Like, I was like, the. The murder that the traitors make with Dorinda, I was like, that's so dumb, because everyone thought that she was a traitor. Like, the night before, we were all like, we're all going to vote for her, right? Like, we're all going to banish her. Right? Everyone was like, yeah, dude, she's definitely a traitor because she was the first one to get off the. The dragon boat.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, only because she didn't want to row.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, but the implication is, if you get off, that means you don't care about getting an immunity shield. And if you don't care about.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I think as housewives just aren't smart enough to realize they didn't get it. They were like housewives that jumped off. And then you see Dolores, who I love dearly, and she's like, wait a minute.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Did I just put a target on my back?

[Wells Adams]

I will Say, maybe some housewives, but you can say a lot of things about Dorinda, but she is not dumb. Like, she.

[Tamara Judge]

No, she's not dumb.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She's not.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, she's not.

[Tamara Judge]

So we're just team players as a. As housewives.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, but that's not the game. And so. I know, listen, you said it before. You said in the beginning. Like, in the beginning, you'd have nothing to go on. So, yeah, you know, she's the first one to get off. And then, you know, they make them stay out there for a long time, and it, you know, pisses them all off, which is, yeah, great tv, but for them. And so they come back, and everyone's hot. Like, everyone's angry and. But Dorinda was, like, over the top. Like, everyone was like, okay, that's a. That's a little too much, you know?

[Tamara Judge]

Like, I was screaming at the TV when she did that. I'm like, no, don't do this. You are putting a target. You're going to get murdered. And she did.

[Wells Adams]

So when that happened, everyone was like, okay, we understand that you're angry, but, like, why are you, like, so angry? Like, we didn't do that. You know, we're not a producers on this show. Like, we didn't take the food away from you. So everyone was like, definitely. Traitor. Right? And we all kind of went to bed being like, yep. So when they murder her, there was a lot of people who greet me. They were like, that was dumb because we were going to banish her. Like, why wouldn't you get rid of somebody who's more of a threat, you know?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Wells Adams]

And so I say that out loud, and then. And then I'm like, in the billiards room with a bunch of people, and we're talking about it, and. And I'm talking with a bunch of people who agree with me. They're like, yeah, that was. That was crazy. They should have taken out, you know, so and so or so and so. And then Robin and Sam come in, and they're like, what did you think? And I say again, I'm like, I just. I was like, I just think it was so stupid. Like, I don't understand why you would do that. Like, yeah, it's. It's. It's creating chaos a little bit. But in my mind, she wasn't a threat to the traitors because she was a threat to the Faithfuls. And so it just didn't. It didn't all add up. And then Robin got, like, really defensive, and she was like, I Think it's really smart. And I'm like, oh, okay, wow. Okay, that interesting take.

[Tamara Judge]

But Robin's pickers off. Everybody she thinks is a traitor is not a traitor.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

She's like, everything she thinks, you know, is the total opposite.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. Hindsight 2020 for that. But I was like, oh, my God. Did I, like, you know, touch a nerve here? Are you upset because I'm saying that you are stupid because you're a traitor? Like, you know, like, that was my. My mindset was like, oh, my God. She got upset because I called the her move dumb. And so I get, like, really weirded out by it, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to get out of here. So that was, like, the. The essence of how it all. How, like, my demise started, right? It was. I was just like, I think that's a dumb move. And then I was like, okay, so I think that Robin's a traitor. And at that time, Dylan also agreed that he thought that Robin was a traitor. And a couple other people, like, I. I'd set that around being like, that was really weird. So in my mind, I thought I was going to be murdered that night because I had pissed off the traitors for calling them stupid. So I was like, I need to have immunity. So we go and do the next mission, which is like the, you know, the three new players in the Cat in the. In the bird house or whatever, you got to run around and buy, get all these coins and get enough money to, like, bring them down. So everyone's bringing down Boston Rob because the Survivor alliance and the people are bringing down Derek because, like, I guess the big brother and no one really was wanting to bring down Wes1, I think, because they know how good he is at the challenge. And then also maybe they just didn't know who he was. I'm a huge fan of the challenge. I'm also a huge fan of just Wes in general. And I know, like, after watching the challenge so much a lot of times what rookies will do in the challenge is they'll, like, grab on to Wes and they'll kind of ride him to the end. And so I was like, I'm going to do that. Like, he's really smart. He's good at these games. Even if he is a trader, I don't really care. I'll have him, like, kind of, like protecting me going forward. So I was like, wes, I'm getting you down. And they didn't show it this way, but, like, I would say that I got 90% of Wes's coins. Like, I was running up and doing wind sprints up and down that hill, getting all the coins I possibly could because I wanted that immunity shield really, really badly, because I thought that Robin, who was a trader, who wasn't, was going to be that night, right? So I get him, and I also get Ian to. To work with me, and we've got, like, a little bit of alliance as well. And so she's helping me get him down, and we finally. We get him down with, like, 10 seconds left. And he comes down, and I'm talking to him, and he. And they didn't show this, but he was like, I'm going to give you my shield. You got me down. And I'm like, okay, good, because I have a plan. I have an idea of. Of who a trader is, and I think that we can set a trap. And he's like, I love this. Amazing.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

What was the trap?

[Wells Adams]

So I think they cut this part out, too. So I. And I. So Ian is, like, the most wonderful person I've ever met in my entire life, and I love her dearly, but no one suspected her of anything because she didn't really understand what was going on with the game. And either you're the greatest actress ever, which I don't think that she was, or, like, you just are just like.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, she admitted she had no idea.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

She had no idea. She's like, I'm just here.

[Wells Adams]

I had.

[Tamara Judge]

I had a hard time understanding it. Like, when I was on it, it's.

[Wells Adams]

I was with her in the call when a producer was reading her the rules, and she was just talking to me. And the producer's like, you need to listen to these rules. I can do two things at the same time. And I'm like, I don't think you can.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You should listen to this.

[Wells Adams]

So then I became the de facto Wells. What is happening right now? And then I had to be the.

[Tamara Judge]

One that told her, like, explain everything to her.

[Wells Adams]

This is what's going on. Like, she thought that. She thought that there was, like, a grim reaper that was, like, walking around the castle at night killing people. And she called him dead man. And she would say, wells, I think the dead man's coming to get. To get me tonight. I was the dead man. The dead man was going to get to me. And I'm like, who are you talking about right now?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But dead man, I don't even know.

[Wells Adams]

What game we're playing. So I tell I. And I'm like. And she was. She. You know, for as Much as she didn't understand what was going on in the game, she was like, bob, the drag queen's a traitor. And I was like, I don't think so. And she's like, I trade her, maybe Robin, but I'm pretty sure about the drag queen. And I was like, listen, I think that Rob's a trader, and I think they're gonna try to come kill me tonight. And she was like, I think they are going to, too. And I said, well, Wes is going to give me the shield, but this is what I want to do. I want you to say that you got the shield, and I'll back you up. And I'll say that he gave you the shield. He's going to agree to this as well. When we all go to sleep tonight, they're going to try to come kill me, but they won't be able to because I'll actually have the shield. So you'll be safe. And then we'll know that it was Robin. At the time, that's what I thought was the one that was trying to get me to die. And then we will know who to take out in the next. The banishment. This was the plan. Now, the only hitch. The plan was I didn't get that immunity shield until after the round Table around. Table of which I did not think I was in trouble at all. I didn't. I was a traitor. Like. And it also made no sense to me because both of the missions, like, I went crazy, balls to the wall, like, trying to get immunity. Like, the first one, they all made me the. The captain of the boat. I had to steer it. And then the second one, I was like, I think I have a heart attack for how much I was running, trying to get all the points. And, like, if you're a trader, you're not gonna bust your ass super hard in these missions because you're not really trying to get. Unless she's like, you're trying to play, I guess, reverse psychology. So I didn't find out that I was going into the. That I was in trouble until about 10 minutes before we went in the roundtable that Dylan came up and was like, hey, bro, I'm hearing your name a bunch. And I was like, oh, no. And he's like, you need to go. Go campaign right now. And, like, make sure you. You. You squash this. And I was like, okay. So I like, immediately set out to go talk to people, and that's when they're like, everyone, stop. Everyone stop talking. Everyone. You know, we're about to Go into the. Into the round table. And that's when I was like, oh, they want me to do this, obviously, in front of everybody. And then. And then it all kind of started to spiral from there.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Then. Then things went a little. A little downhill.

[Tamara Judge]

How did you feel when Ion was crying after you were banished?

[Wells Adams]

I made a little bit of justification that, like. Because the thing that annoyed me the most was it's just so funny in. In which, like, your ego works. I wasn't really annoyed that I got banished. I mean, I was annoyed because I was like, I just got here.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, you don't want to go home.

[Wells Adams]

And I was like, also so dumb, because my whole thing was like, that move was stupid. That's dumb. And then they kill me, and I'm like, what? Like, how everyone is dumb.

[Tamara Judge]

What's going on here?

[Wells Adams]

So I was, like, just annoyed in that. But what hurt me was that Bob the Drag Queen said that I was like, something was off and I was standoffish. And I'm a lot of things, but I am not standoffish. Like, I am very, very talkative, and I want to get to know everybody. And especially. And this is how. This was frustrating to me, because I should have. If I ever do this game again, which I doubt I will, my gut usually is always right. And so Bob the Drag Queen was on RuPaul's Drag Race, a show of which my wife was a judge. He does a podcast with Monet X Change, who went to high school with my wife. My wife had just taken over Little Shop of Horrors, taking over the Audrey role that was being done by a drag queen named Jinx Monsoon, of whom I just hung out with because she had taken over the role. And so I had all this stuff to talk to Bob about. Like, I was. And I didn't know anybody there. If. If I. If I tried with anyone, I didn't try harder with Bob to talk to him. Like, I had all this stuff. I was like, oh, my God.

[Tamara Judge]

All this information. You can Use.

[Wells Adams]

Okay, I can talk about. I can talk to this about it. This is amazing. Like, I know you don't know me, but, like, my. My wife was on the show doing all this stuff, and then he's like, you know, you're really standoffish. And I was like, how dare you, sir?

[Tamara Judge]

You're all the way off.

[Wells Adams]

Like, I tried so many times with you. If anything, you've been standoffish to me. And then obviously looking back, I'm like, yeah, of course he's lying because he's trying to get me kicked off. Like, he's a traitor.

[Tamara Judge]

But that didn't work out for him. He's gone.

[Wells Adams]

I know.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I have a couple of other questions about people in the group. Does Sam actually talk?

[Wells Adams]

Not a lot.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Not a lot. Because that's his gameplay or he just doesn't speak?

[Wells Adams]

I honestly, I wasn't there long enough to really know. I don't think that he had a whole lot to say.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, when you're that pretty, you just really don't have any brains.

[Wells Adams]

You said it first.

[Tamara Judge]

God did. God's not that nice. He doesn't give him brains and beauty.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

The last episode, when he's, like, wearing the headband and he's like, it's Britney's. And he really means Britney from the cast. But everybody, of course, thinks I'm like, oh, my. Come on, Sam, get it together. Were you in the room when Tom Sandoval was sweating insanely through his pits? Was it really hot in there?

[Tamara Judge]

No, it's cold in there.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. It wasn't. It wasn't hot that day. I remember seeing it and being like, my boy's really pitting out over here, like, can we get him. Can we get some, you know, some degree for him or something? Right.

[Tamara Judge]

Did you connect with him at all during your time there?

[Wells Adams]

Funny, because we both have the same manager, so we had kind of that to connect on. I was a little wary, you know, just because he comes with baggage that I was like, I don't know if I want to be, like, alighting with.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I think a lot of people felt that way.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. But the thing was, is that he. I understand why he's so good at making television. He just kind of is, like, stream of consciousness, like, off the wall, like, won't and kind of also, like, won't stop talking. He's one of those storytellers that, like, tells a story that, like, kind of never ends, where you're like, okay, let's wrap this up.

[Tamara Judge]

Let's get to a Bunch bullet points.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. Like, I remember being really frustrated with him at the round table because he was like, trying to accuse Chrishell of being a traitor of which no one thought that she was, but he kind of wanted her to be a traitor because Rochelle was friends with his ex. And like, yeah, you could tell, like, it was like, this is the BS dude. And he was taking so much time away from me being able to defend myself. You know, I'd be like, shut up. No one thinks this. Tom, we gotta focus on me here.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I am the one in danger here.

[Wells Adams]

But yeah, no, I wish I had used the Tommy or traitor because you're obviously nervous because you're sweating like crazy, dude. You're sweating like a. Who are in church, my guy.

[Tamara Judge]

Something's going on there.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

It was a lot of all the people in the house other than Dylan, which I feel like I probably would have wanted to connect. Connect with as well.

[Wells Adams]

Who.

[Tamara Judge]

I think you just have the hots for Dylan.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I do. Don't worry.

[Tamara Judge]

She's like in our group chat. Is he single?

[Wells Adams]

I think, I think he is.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, I think he might be a.

[Tamara Judge]

Little hook a girl up.

[Wells Adams]

I, I also is like, I don't know. I don't know if you're down with like the Dylan lifestyle. He is that like his brother. He's not. I don't think he's like brother really at all.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

He is like a camping type.

[Wells Adams]

Yes. He's like, that's. His brother's like that as a van. His brother has.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

He goes camping, but also millions. Yeah, yeah.

[Wells Adams]

Give me a break. But he's got like, you know, the, the sprinter van. He's like always outdoorsy, always like, you know, a thrill seeking person. And that's.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

What's the guy's name from the Bachelor. That was like that too. Dean. Yes. So he's like a Dean. Okay.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

It's not gonna work out for us.

[Wells Adams]

When I met, when I met him, I was like, I have a buddy for you. You guys are simpatico.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So who other than him did you and Ion, obviously, did you feel like immediately kind of connected to.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. The Bob Harper I loved. He was so lovely, so nice to be around. His fashion was exquisite. I think that he was the, he's the best dressed person there because that's what it kind of turned into. It turned a little bit of a fashion show. Yeah. And I loved him. You know, I, I, I thought I was friends with everybody. Honestly, like, like, I love the, the girl click. You know, the, the Bambies. Yeah. Gabby And Nikki and. And Chris Shell. Like, I was in the car ride back with them, and I was, like, kikiing with them, and I'm like, okay, cool. I'm in with the cool chicks. Like, this is. This is good news for me. And what's really kind of frustrating about the Robin of it all is you probably remember this. You know, you're in a car a lot with people, whether they're not filming you and they want you to not talk, right? But, like, it's kind of hard not to talk. And if you do talk, they're like, just talk about, like, other things in life, you know, like, things that wouldn't be the show. So the person that I was in the car with every, every day was Robin. And so, like, I learned about her marriage and about, like, her, you know, her husband, who is a basketball player and also a coach, and, like, the scandals that he was in and, like, the podcast issues that they were having. And I was, like, giving her advice and, like, you know, sympathizing with her and empathizing with her. And I thought that we were, like, really close. And when she started to do that to me, I was like, this sucks. I thought we were friends. Like, what? And, you know, she says this thing and, like, hindsight's 2020 for me is that she was like, you know, after. After the. Her whole thing is that after Alan chooses who the traitors are, is that my demeanor changed. Which one is bs because we weren't really around each other enough to know, like, what someone's demeanor was before and after. But I think I know what she was saying, and I don't think it had anything to do with, like, me changing my demeanor after the. The reaping or whatever it's called when Alan goes and chooses somebody. But, like, I. I have made so much reality tv. Like, we. I did the math on. It was like, over, like, 150 episodes. Like, crazy amount of. You know, I've done, like, nine seasons of Paradise. And so my thing is, is that when, like, the camera's not rolling, I don't. I chill. I'm like, you recharge. Yeah. I'm not doing, like, Housewives are an anomaly to me because Housewives, like, don't stop.

[Tamara Judge]

They don't shut up. I know.

[Wells Adams]

Dude, how are you doing this?

[Tamara Judge]

We were always getting in trouble. Be quiet. Stop talking.

[Wells Adams]

And I'm like. I remember being like, to Ayan and to Dorinda, I was like, you guys are wasting really good material and no one's rolling right now what are you doing? Like, and obviously, it's a superpower for all those ladies because they're just. They don't have to, like, turn it on and turn off. They're just doing themselves all the time. But for me, I can't do that, like, when we are not filming one. I. Because I've kind of been on the other side of things. When a producer is like, hey, shut up. I'm like, okay, I don't want to screw up your. You guys have a job to do. It's not easy. I'm going to shut the hell up. But then also, I need to chill out. You know, I was, like, a morning show host for 15 years. I'm not telling my jokes unless the microphone's on. Right? Like, why am I wasting that? And I think a lot of people saw that, and they're like, you're different when the camera's on than when it's off. Which is true.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So you would not be a good Real Housewife.

[Wells Adams]

Well, I would be a good one when the cameras were rolling, which they're.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Always rolling, so you always have to be on.

[Wells Adams]

Maybe that's why you guys are like, that is because they're always rolling.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

If so, then who did you have, like, the biggest aversion to? Like, was there one person that you were like, absolutely not. If I have to be locked up in a room with this person, I like, there's always somebody, and they don't even have to have done something wrong to you. But you just.

[Wells Adams]

I didn't have a. The way I was looking at it was like, there's no way Tom's a traitor. Just because, like, that would be the dumbest career on the nose. The world. And also, yeah, it's also, like, way too obvious. Way too obvious to make the biggest villain in America another villain. Come on, we gotta have some character arc for this guy. So I didn't really have a problem with him. I just was, like, one. Every time I talked to him, I just felt like he was talking in circles. And I didn't. I just don't think that he had a good eye for, like, what was happening. Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't there long enough, really, to have, like, a negative opinion. My. My takeaway was after Bob said that, like, I was standoffish, I was like, that's not true. Like, that was. The only thing that, like, hurt my feelings was like, screw you, you're lying. I tried so hard with you. But, yeah, listen, everyone was lovely. And also, like, you have to remember, like, it's just a game. Like, who gives a crap?

[Tamara Judge]

That's what I was gonna ask you. Like, the gamers go in, and their goal is absolutely to win this. Did you go in just thinking, I'm just gonna have some fun or, I have to win this. I want to win this.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. I don't know if I cared. I mean, I wanted to win because I'm a competitive person, but more I was like, I just want to make a funny TV show. That was like, that's how kind of how I always just go into make. Doing TV shows is like, I just want to make sure it's good. Like, and what I do is funny and good. And I did not do that this time. Failed. But also the. Listen, it's. It's a lot of money, but it's not a. It's not a whole lot of money, especially if it's a bunch of people at the end that have to split it.

[Tamara Judge]

Split it.

[Wells Adams]

So, you know, if. If it's like six guys or four people have to split it, you're. And then you don't get the entire. You know, and then you have to.

[Tamara Judge]

Pay taxes there and here it's like 40 grand.

[Wells Adams]

Like, I mean, that's not nothing, but it's like, I don't know if I care about that so much more.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So you're like, I could do a paid post.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, exactly.

[Tamara Judge]

I know you're only there a week or so, but being there for that, you know, if you're there for the full time, not having a phone, in communication with the outside world, with your. Your wife, your businesses and things like that was. Did that bother you at all?

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, I hated it because, I mean, we do that in paradise, right? Like, you know, people that come on the show, they take. They take their stuff away, but not for me. I have a phone and I just live my life normally. So it's been eight years since I've done a show where, like, I'm treated like a child. And I do not like it.

[Tamara Judge]

It's a horrible feeling.

[Wells Adams]

Well. And like, I'm 40 and I've got these handlers who are like 20, telling what to do. And I'm like. They also were like. I'm like, I want a glass of wine right now. And they'd be like, nope. And I'd be like, I am a. An adult, sir.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Did you taste that wine? Not give us, like, we. Cynthia, the other housewife. We would both be like, can we please have a glass of wine tonight? Just one. We don't care if it's white or red. And they're like, not tonight. Maybe tomorrow you can have a glass. And we'd be like, why?

[Tamara Judge]

Well, I don't know if you tasted the wine, but the wine we had tasted like vinegar. It was so nasty. I had it the first night. They only give it to you when I was on there after the round table.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

And it was so nasty. I'm like, no, I'm good. I'm good. I don't need.

[Wells Adams]

I imagine it's non alcoholic, and that's why it tastes probably.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Can we get into a little bit? I know you don't watch the Bachelor, Tam, but like, I.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

For years. So I've got it. I gotta talk a little bit about it. There's been some. Some big bachelor news that has. Has broken.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Matt James and Rachel have broken up after dating for four years after, you know, she won his season of the Bachelor. Are you surprised by this?

[Wells Adams]

No. I mean, they made it pretty long. Four years. Pretty good. It's. You know, that's like. It's like in dog years. Yeah. Multiply that number by seven. It's pretty impressive. I mean, a little bit. Like, I thought that they. Because, you know, there was like a whole scandal around them, so I. The fact that they were able to weather, like, kind of that storm and then make it through the other side, I was like, oh, they'll probably go forever. So. Yeah, I'm. I'm bummed to hear that. They're both lovely people. I don't know her as well as I know Matt, but, yeah, you know, it's. It's okay. You know, I think that they did a pretty good job, you know, and.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

If you had to pick one bachelor bachelorette other than, like, Trista, who would you say will. Like, whether the. What is it? What's the saying? Like, sands of time or like that. That'll really make it.

[Wells Adams]

Oh, like the Bachelor couple that will, like, go forever.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Wells Adams]

Oh, there's a lot of them. Well, so feel like my show is the one that, like, has all the success stories. Like, paradise is the one that really works. I think so, yeah. Dean and Kaylin, I think they're married. I went to their wedding. I don't think that they're getting. They're gonna ever split up. They're like, perfect for one another. Ashley, Ionetti and Jared, like, they've got a kid now that's never ending.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think they have two kids.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Staying on top of it.

[Wells Adams]

Same with Adam and Raven. They've got a couple kids, so they're not splitting up any anytime soon, if ever. And yeah, I don't know. A lot of the. A lot of the paradise couples, I think they're the ones that are really, really good, but the ones that I'm closest with is Dean and Kalyn. And they better not break up because that wedding was expensive to go to.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And where was it?

[Wells Adams]

It was beautiful. It actually was one of the most unique and fun weddings I've ever been to. Mine included. So it was outside of Aspen at a yoga retreat, which sounds really like, hippie dippy, but not really, though. Like, it was kind of rustic. Like, you had to stay in these. These cabins that were heated by like a cast iron stove or whatever. You had to like, make the fire every night, which was dangerous for a lot of people. And then so on Saturday or on Friday before the wedding, Kaylin, like, is obsessed with camp. Like, she loves camp.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

So, like, going to camp.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. So we had a field day. So they had this huge field where we. We did like the three legged race and like balloon toss and like egg on the spoon. All were like, this is the dumbest thing in the world. Like, going into it being like, this is so dumb. They split this up into different teams. We had, like, different headbands. You know, they filmed the entire thing. Like, was like Survivor. And we were all like, this is so dumb. And afterwards we were like, that was the most fun thing I've ever done. It got so heated. It was so much fun. We were drinking, obviously, while doing it, and I was like, man, this is the best wedding ever. It was beautiful. So, yeah, it was a fun wedding.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

And then one final question on that. Who would you say has been that you've come in contact? I know you like to keep everything positive, but this is the twat seat. So we have to ask the hard questions. Of all the bachelors or bachelorettes you have met, who do you think is, like, the most toxic or the mo. Like, the most that you get the. From.

[Wells Adams]

I don't know, none of the leads I've ever really gotten the ick from. So I also, you have to understand, like, I don't work with the leads ever. Like, if you're. If you're. I don't. Like, if you're. If you're a lead, you're not coming to paradise. Right, Right. My show is. Is the island of misfit Toys. So. So yeah, I don't know. I. Everyone's pretty lovely. Once you get. Once you get to paradise, it usually means that you're like on the all star team of making reality tv. So you kind of get what's going on and you're. You're a good TV maker. We've had some villains. You know, Chad was real bad. Oh, but he's the guy that keeps.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Coming back over and over again. He's like the older guy. I mean, he's probably younger than me, but the, like, the older guy, he came like multiple seasons.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. He's so nice, though. And he's really smart. He actually would be really, really good at traders. I'm trying to think of, like, with this one guy named Leo who, if you met Grocery store Joe. Yeah, yeah, that's another one that him and Serena are going to last forever. I went to their wedding as well. I married them, actually.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, you officiated.

[Wells Adams]

Oh, yeah, that's right. I can do everything. I can bartender wedding. I can marry you. I can help with the death tap.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well's link in his bio to book him for pretty much anything. As long as it's over $40,000. He's game.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. No taxes, please. Yeah, that. There was a guy named Leo who called Joe Grocery grocery bitch on the show. And I thought that was the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. But they got into like a straight up fist fight over it. So. Yeah, he was. He was kind of an asshole.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Okay, well, anything. When do you start filming Bachelor in Paradise again? Are we going to get another one or is there another Golden Bachelor? Bachelor? I don't want. I don't watch the goldens.

[Wells Adams]

You don't like seeing those. Those old decrepit.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, no, I. I can't do it. But then I started wondering, like, do I count as a golden age? Like, I could maybe be on it.

[Tamara Judge]

Is there like an age you have to be over?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Not yet. I'm 43. Oh, it's 40. You're 40?

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. So if. If you're about to go on Golden Bachelorette, that Up for me, man. No, I think. I think it's 60.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Okay. So I have.

[Wells Adams]

Used to be higher. It used to be, I think, 65. And then they were like, I think people be younger also. It's really hard. You guys have all made reality TV when you're an old. You can't, like, stay up and, like, film for 18 hours a day, you know?

[Tamara Judge]

I couldn't going into this season. Now I'm. Oh, to get dressed and go out of the house is a killer for me.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, I really wanted to do A Paradise with both, like, young and old people coming together because I thought it'd be so funny for, like, a young, dumb blonde to, like, you know, go.

[Tamara Judge]

For some old dudes.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But then they'd have to. They'd have to then add in, like, a Joe Millionaire type aspect of it, though, where you're like, this guy could potentially be.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or a billionaire. Cast a really rich guy or just tell him everyone that he's rich and he's not. It's a TV show. But I really wanted that. But then I was like, on second thought, it's like 105 degrees all day. There's no air conditioning. We're gonna kill somebody. Like, someone's gonna have a heart attack out there. See me zinc on my nose, running out, being like.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Do you want a skinny margarita that I'm pretending to make?

[Wells Adams]

Hey, I actually have to make that.

[Tamara Judge]

You do?

[Wells Adams]

Oh, yeah. I have to make every single drink. I have no bar back. I have no help. I have to do. I have to wash all the cups?

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, you poor thing.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, I'm so sorry. How much away for this job?

[Tamara Judge]

Well, poor.

[Wells Adams]

Well, $40,000.

[Tamara Judge]

Pretend to be a bartender. It's abuse.

[Wells Adams]

No, all I'm saying is you say that I'm not, and I actually do that.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, if we ever see you in person, we want you to make us a drink, and then we'll be the decider of how good you are at it after nine years.

[Wells Adams]

I didn't say I was good at being a.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Do you make them shitty drinks? So not only are they getting their heart.

[Tamara Judge]

Did you go to bar school?

[Wells Adams]

I like, waited tables and bartender in high school or in college. And outside of college, I did go to. I did go to a bartending school beforehand because I had the. I had dreams of, like, being Tom.

[Tamara Judge]

Cruise, you know, didn't every guy.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, I go. It was. I'm in Studio City, like, right off of Colfax. I go to this freaking bartending school, and the first Thing the guy goes is, hey, listen, we're not gonna be doing that. Spitting bottles around. I'm like, here.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

But are you like a mixologist or is it like you're gonna get a vodka soda or like a pre made skinny are like, could you do anything? Could you make.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, Espresso martini.

[Wells Adams]

I can make every drink.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You can make an espresso martini there?

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, I tried.

[Tamara Judge]

It was horrible.

[Wells Adams]

It's hard to make. So you gotta remember, like, sound is an issue, right? Like, I can't have a blender. So I got no blended drinks down there. Because it sound like if you have a coffee machine, that'll be loud. So like espresso Martins would be tough also. I'm not sure if that's like the place for an espresso martini just because it's so hot. You know, the drinks there that are really good are Palomas, margaritas, like really refreshing drinks.

[Tamara Judge]

You know, that makes sense.

[Wells Adams]

Mojitos. But I hate making mojito because it's on muddling a bunch of stuff. So this is too good. I can make all that stuff. The other thing is, is that you have to remember we have like kind of a drink limit there. So I'm not. I'm. I'm not making really stiff drinks or I'm not making.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, do they limit what they can?

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

What is the.

[Tamara Judge]

Could you imagine, like on the Golden Bachelor, they'd have like prune juice and vodka.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. Ensure.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

What is the drink limit? Did the drink rule change when it happened with. We don't even need to bring up the names. With the blonde.

[Tamara Judge]

Direct name.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. Oh, that's when. That's when we were like, you gotta. You've got to limit that. Which I have love, hate relationship with that rule. Because the truth of the matter is, if you're trying to find love there, you need to really have liquid courage.

[Tamara Judge]

Need to be soft.

[Wells Adams]

No, no, I think that you need to really notice and I think that you can't really make a decision about how you feel about somebody until you know how they are when they're drunk.

[Tamara Judge]

I agree with that.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I think people are more outgoing and mother. You know, with cameras on you, it's like.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Or you're an asshole.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's me. I'm an. When I drink. So I shouldn't drink, but.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, I'm a dream when I drink.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, yeah, no, there's a certain. Like, if I have two drinks, I'm fine, but on camera, anything after that, I'm a royal.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, but anything you want to. To slang before we close out people to. To know where to follow you see things.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. I'm at Wells Adams on Instagram, on Tick Tock. Not sure if that's going to be.

[Tamara Judge]

Around for my Tick Tock for the next week.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah. On X. On. On Only Fans if you want to see my feet.

[Tamara Judge]

And on Grindr.

[Wells Adams]

Not a Grindr.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Hold on.

[Wells Adams]

I'm not. I'm. That was a joke. I'm not on Only Fans, but I.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Was gonna say, how much do you think we could make for our feet? Tamara and I've discussed this.

[Wells Adams]

I honestly, I. A lot and I feel like you should do it.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

You haven't even seen my feet.

[Wells Adams]

Are they good or bad? What's your. What's your Wiki feet score?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, I don't know.

[Wells Adams]

I don't know.

[Tamara Judge]

You have to go look it up.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yeah, I haven't looked, but I do know that my Uber score is so.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, well, that my big difference because.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I always say quiet preferred, so I don't know.

[Tamara Judge]

Standoffish.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Yes. Unless I'm being filmed.

[Tamara Judge]

I hate when my Uber driver talks to me, but yeah, not here to talk. Oh, my gosh.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

No, it's out of five. Good job.

[Tamara Judge]

Is it like three people voted?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Holy. What's. Tamara's jealous?

[Tamara Judge]

No, my feet are horrible. Tamara's a four. Four.

[Wells Adams]

Oh, wow. I think I'm above a four.

[Tamara Judge]

I think I should. What are you, Teddy?

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I'm a five, You're a four. And what's Wells.

[Wells Adams]

You have to go to the. To the men one, though I. I.

[Tamara Judge]

Should be a two.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Because you have a bunion.

[Wells Adams]

Yeah, bunion.

[Tamara Judge]

Have a bunion.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Well, this is a 4.16.

[Tamara Judge]

So I'm the lowest on the totem pole here.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Oh, my gosh. Well, if Dylan decides he wants to stop camping, want somebody that has five star feet and shitty uber, shitty uber older. A bad drunk. Look at my info.

[Tamara Judge]

And can't drive. Oh, yeah.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I also scared to drive. I'm a real peach. I could be on the Golden Bachelorette in 15 years from now.

[Tamara Judge]
