This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snore loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your.
Sophie Cunningham
Airway partially or completely collapses during sleep.
Tamara Judge
Which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation. Learn more at don'tsleep on OSA.com this information is provided by Lilly, a medicine company. So let me get this straight.

Your company has data here, there and everywhere, but your AI can't use the data because it's here, there and everywhere? Seems like something's missing.

Sophie Cunningham
IBM. Two T's in a pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge. Hi, guys.
Tamara Judge
Welcome to another episode of two T's and Pod with myself and Tamara Judge.
Sophie Cunningham
This is a very special episode. We're in person finally.
Tamara Judge
And look, we're in bedazzled. Two T's and a pod shirt.
Sophie Cunningham
I know who sent them to us. Okay, so Mel, the clothing. Mel, underscore the clothing. If you guys notice, when I went to Boston for. For at Fenway Park, I had this bedazzled shirt on, and she made it for me. So Jen Geiser from Bravo hooked us up. She made me that. And she surprised me with these two tees.
Tamara Judge
I love it. It's so fun.
Sophie Cunningham
So if you need some bedazzled shirts, just go to.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, reach out.
Sophie Cunningham
I'll post it.
Tamara Judge
So this is a fun episode because it's a fan Q and A. We put up something on Instagram and we had them ask us questions, and.
Sophie Cunningham
I haven't looked them over.
Tamara Judge
Me neither. Oh, God, me neither. So very Veronica Hohenstein asks, what do you mired most about each other?
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, my gosh. I think for you, and this goes from current to from the time I met you, is just your strength and your ability to just be so strong. Like, if I ever have a business question, you know, this, I will call you and say, what do you think? And you can think, you know, you're. You're very smart, very sharp, and just very. Like, I don't. Most people, I don't know if they know this about you, but business savvy like you, you just in just a strong, strong person. Strong like. And you. And you'll tell me too, like, if I call and complain about somebody. Well, okay, well, let me the whole story. Okay. Tamara, maybe you didn't do this right, or, you know, you give it to me straight.
Tamara Judge
I want to get it. I want to be pragmatic. So I appreciate that. Yeah. What I admire about you the most is, honestly, especially with everything going on, you are a really good friend. Aw, thank you. You really are a good friend. And I think that it's been skewed throughout years of television, but, like, there isn't a day that I wake up that I don't hear from camera and checking in. And even when I'm at my worst, you're there. So I think, you know, of course I admire that. You're a great mother.
Sophie Cunningham
You're a great mother too.
Tamara Judge
But also when we're together we have so much fun together.
Sophie Cunningham
We do.
Tamara Judge
And it's like not even like we.
Sophie Cunningham
Have one mind between the two of.
Tamara Judge
Us.
Sophie Cunningham
We can finish each other's sentences.
Tamara Judge
But it's. I think that that's hard to find especially later in life.
Sophie Cunningham
Like how I'm sorry I put you into menopause. You know I always said to you before, like we're so alike. If I get my period back, I'm not going to be friends with you anymore.
Tamara Judge
Mine's gone now. Mine is. You can blame me for that. But medicine, you really have been there. Like Tamara's the type of friend that I'm like I think I'm gonna do a birthday dinner tomorrow at 7. You don't feel pressure?
Sophie Cunningham
I'll be there.
Tamara Judge
And she's there and it's like. It's just so.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, I mean I think I get a bad. You said bad rap because I. What you guys see me as friends is on a TV show where it's very hard to have friends. Everybody has gone after everybody. My friends that I've had, I've had for 20 something years.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Sophie Cunningham
They that refuse to come on the show.
Tamara Judge
Abby prem asks if you could Both give your 30 year old selves advice, what would it be?
Sophie Cunningham
I think mine would just be just trust the process. Don't stress too much. I think at 30, you know, 30 is a good age. I think 30 is when you start figuring things out and you become an. You're a big girl now. You know me just. I think it's hard because I'm trying to think back. I was, I had so many kids. No, I only actually had two at that time but I don't know, just work hard, save money, invest your money. I wish I would invested money earlier. Yeah, that's one thing I wish. It doesn't take much to put X amount away every single paycheck and I wish I would have done that. But I don't know. I think just don't worry so much. I was always so stressed of trying to be something I wasn't.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, well that's exactly what I was going to say. That end part that you just said. I think if, you know, if I go back to my early 30s, I was so worried what people were going to think that I then wasn't myself. I was more quiet, I was more reserved. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin to say how I actually feel. Which is really freeing.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
But then the same advice I would give myself now, which is. Try to take it day by day. Which is really hard for me.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
Present.
Sophie Cunningham
You are doing that now.
Tamara Judge
I'm trying.
Commercial Announcer
Trying. You're.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. But I think you're doing a good job.
Tamara Judge
Thank you.
Sophie Cunningham
You're doing a great job.
Tamara Judge
Joey Ellsberger asks if we could pick each other's ultimate girls trip.
Sophie Cunningham
Can we just pick a trip that we can.
Tamara Judge
All.
Sophie Cunningham
That we can be on?
Tamara Judge
Let's do it together.
Sophie Cunningham
Together, we'll do that. We're doing this trip together, so it's us.
Tamara Judge
So that's two.
Sophie Cunningham
Do you want to do, like, from each cast?
Tamara Judge
Okay, so let's go down Salt Lake City. Who would you pick?
Sophie Cunningham
Well, we can pick everybody we like. Because then it wouldn't be a very.
Tamara Judge
I think Bronwyn.
Sophie Cunningham
Bronwyn.
Tamara Judge
Yes, Bronwyn from Salt Lake City.
Sophie Cunningham
Atlanta. I'm gonna do Portia. For sure.
Tamara Judge
Atlanta. I'm gonna do Portia. Potomac. Karen. Karen.
Sophie Cunningham
Karen who gets out of jail.
Tamara Judge
She's about to be getting out of.
Sophie Cunningham
Jail on her birthday.
Tamara Judge
She's probably readily available.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, she's ready for it. Beverly Hills.
Tamara Judge
Beverly Hills.
Sophie Cunningham
I mean, I would want Kyle.
Tamara Judge
Want Kyle.
Sophie Cunningham
Want Kyle. But, you know, we would just be like the Trace amigos, just hanging out.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. So if we couldn't have Kyle, then I would want both.
Sophie Cunningham
We don't set everybody straight.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, we don't. I don't know her very well. And I feel like in that chaotic environment. It might be a little different. Because that's different than filming Housewives.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. In Miami.
Tamara Judge
Miami. I know you want Stephanie. Don't even mind.
Sophie Cunningham
I want Stephanie.
Tamara Judge
I know you want Stephanie. I mean, I think Stephanie and I would probably come to blows. So.
Sophie Cunningham
Which would be great.
Tamara Judge
Which would be great tv. Yep.
Sophie Cunningham
And then she'd take you on her private jet.
Tamara Judge
Well, you know what? No, she probably wouldn't. She'd put me in the back. And I'd have to be locked up in the bedroom by myself.
Sophie Cunningham
But she asked Alexia to go on her private jet.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Commercial Announcer
And they weren't getting off.
Tamara Judge
She had assignment. And then. Are we missing any other franchises? Oh, Orange County.
Commercial Announcer
Well, that's me.
Tamara Judge
That's. Yeah, that's me.
Sophie Cunningham
New York. I don't even know New York or New Jersey is back.
Tamara Judge
But I would. I would. I would want Dolores or Melissa Gorgon.
Sophie Cunningham
I want Melissa. But I say throw Theresa in there.
Tamara Judge
Let's get it all going.
Sophie Cunningham
Let's get this shit started.
Tamara Judge
I did notice that we will be seeing Theresa soon.
Sophie Cunningham
We are on a panel Together.
Tamara Judge
I know.
Sophie Cunningham
@.
Tamara Judge
BravoCon. Do you think she's still mad at.
Sophie Cunningham
Us? She. I think she's somebody that holds grudges, so I'm gonna say yes, but I don't know. There's nothing really to be mad about. We were just recapping the.
Tamara Judge
Show. Yeah. True. Max hadid_og asks, what's a subtle red flag you've learned to spot early in a friendship? Is this in our friendship or in.
Sophie Cunningham
General? I'm saying a general friendship. A red flag. I think, for me, it's.
Tamara Judge
Bragging. But you love Stephanie as a.
Sophie Cunningham
Housewife. I didn't say I want to be friends with.
Tamara Judge
Her. For me, it's more of, like, a feeling I have within the second.
Rob Gronkowski
Gut.
Sophie Cunningham
Right. It's a gut. Like, I'm good like that with people. Like, I can be like, there's something quite not right. But when somebody's trying to sell themselves and talk about themselves and how great they are and how kind they.
Tamara Judge
Are and how amazing their marriage.
Sophie Cunningham
Is. Amazing their marriage is and all that stuff, I'm like, no.
Tamara Judge
Sorry.
Sophie Cunningham
No. I want the real shit. I want. You know what? My husband drove me crazy last night. And the kids. You know what? The little boogers, I want to kick them out of the house, you.
Rob Gronkowski
Know?
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Like, they're so hard. I went down to.
Tamara Judge
Earth.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. That's what I.
Tamara Judge
Like. Down to earth. I also want somebody who can tell me it like it is.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. And not sugarcoat.
Tamara Judge
Things. Not sugarcoat things. And some of them makes freaking laugh. Like, if you. You're not going to make me laugh. Well, and if stories don't add.
Sophie Cunningham
Up. So stories are stuffy. Really stuffy. Like, that's.
Tamara Judge
Hard. Sabrina Sunny Mills Nicks.
Sophie Cunningham
Ass. You're doing good at these, Sabrina. Shorten that name, you become famous one day, nobody's gonna be able to find.
Tamara Judge
You. Who was the biggest flirt at BravoCon? I.
Sophie Cunningham
Don'T. I don't think anybody flirts with.
Tamara Judge
Me. I mean, I think it's an equal thing. And he's. He's not flirting. It's just who he.
Sophie Cunningham
Is. Is it.
Tamara Judge
Chef? It's Chef. I mean, it's just who she.
Sophie Cunningham
Is. Yeah. He's just very handsy and lovey and huggy and that kind of.
Tamara Judge
Stuff. Yeah. And he also, you know, he's southern, so those, like, Southern guys are very, like, how's it going? And complimentary and nice. But, I mean, I don't think for one second Shep's interested in.
Sophie Cunningham
Me. Who knows? You never.
Tamara Judge
Know. Maybe this Year will be a new one for.
Sophie Cunningham
Me. You and Shep, I feel like brother and.
Tamara Judge
Sister. Yeah, we're like brother and sister. I was like, not this year will be me and Shep. But I'm like, who would be my options for this.
Sophie Cunningham
Year? Did you hear that Jax was kicked off a.
Tamara Judge
Bravicon? I heard what.
Sophie Cunningham
Happened. Like, that's serious.
Tamara Judge
Shit. Well, maybe just with everything else getting the boot, it just for his well being, because that's where people tend to go and have, you know, some.
Sophie Cunningham
Missteps. I mean, he's been on Bravo for years, and there's people that are not even on Bravo right now that are getting invited. So I'm like, what.
Tamara Judge
Happened? I have a feeling it might be why. When I watched back some of these episodes, there was a bunch of substance abuse, like warnings and things like that. So I have a feeling once that kind of stuff gets involved, maybe it's a.
Sophie Cunningham
Liability. Maybe.
Tamara Judge
Maybe. But I don't really know because.
Sophie Cunningham
I was like, whoa, he got kicked off the.
Tamara Judge
Roster. Here's the thing about being a great gift giver. When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list, you almost don't want to give it.
Commercial Announcer
Away. That's what happened with my quince order. Everything so soft and well made, I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for.
Tamara Judge
Myself. Quince pretty much has your whole list covered. Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50 when you'd normally pay $200 or more, the kind you'll wear on.
Commercial Announcer
Repeat. Then there's the denim that goes with everything. Silk tops and skirts for when you need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually keep you.
Tamara Judge
Warm. The Italian wool coats, absolute top of my list. They look designer and are made with premium materials. But like everything at Quint's, the price won't make you panic. We're talking way less than other brands.
Commercial Announcer
Charge. By working directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices, and by cutting out the middleman and markups, Quince is able to pass those savings straight to.
Tamara Judge
You. I can't tell you how much I'm loving my new cashmere sweater. I will be wearing it a lot this holiday season and getting one for my daughter's slate. Find gifts so good you'll want to keep them with.

Today. Do we find it exhausting to keep up our images as.
Sophie Cunningham
Celebs? Yes, yes, yes, I do. I'm afraid I'm like, you know what? The show is keeping me young. You know what I mean? Like, I will always work out because that's just my thing. I've been doing it since 18 years old in sports when I was younger. But you know, it's, it's, it's a.
Tamara Judge
Lot. I would say. It's. There are moments of like pure exhaustion where you're just like, I can't do. Do it anymore. And there are moments where, like today when you walked in, I was already so tired, and I was like, oh, I'm dreading this. But the second I felt your.
Sophie Cunningham
Energy, I was like, okay, spice it.
Tamara Judge
Up. I'm ready to.
Sophie Cunningham
Go. Yeah. I mean, it's exhausting. Like, I.
Tamara Judge
Don'T.
Sophie Cunningham
I. Would I have hair extensions? Would I.
Tamara Judge
Be. Would you rather be in an office from 9 to.
Sophie Cunningham
5? No, I'd want to be retired. I don't want to work anymore. I want to do my. The podcast. That's what I want to do. And, you know, collect my veena checks. That's what I want to.
Tamara Judge
Do. When filming a reality show, do you catch yourself confusing who you are, deep down, with who you are on camera? When that goes.
Sophie Cunningham
Up? When filming or watching. When filming a reality show, do you catch yourself confusing who you are deep.
Tamara Judge
Down? Holly Lurie asked.
Sophie Cunningham
This. Holly Lurie asked this. You know, I heard on an interview recently, I don't know, was it Emily or. I think it might have been Emily, where she says, you know, know, the thing with Tamara is, like, off camera, she's so quiet. She doesn't really go out much. You know, she's so reserved. But on camera, I'm a different person. I think that's true, but I think there's an alcohol component when I film that gets me heightened and gets me to the level that I'm at and gives me the courage to call people out. Where in my normal everyday life, I would never do.
Tamara Judge
That. Where in my normal everyday life, I.
Sophie Cunningham
Would. You would. Oh, you call people out that don't even need to be called out. I'm like, daddy, let's reel it in now. Let's reel it.
Tamara Judge
Down. I would say for me, on camera, I think it's. It was always about getting in my head too.
Sophie Cunningham
Much. You were calmer on.
Tamara Judge
Camera. I was calmer calmer on camera. And I. I also didn't really know people very well at the beginning, so I think.
Sophie Cunningham
That. Is that your first reality show you've ever.
Tamara Judge
Done?
Sophie Cunningham
Yes. And so that's a big deal to just jump right into.
Tamara Judge
It. Right.
Sophie Cunningham
In. And plus, you are through some crap too.
Tamara Judge
Personal. I also was the youngest on the cast by the lot. Had the least amount of money, like, and all of a sudden I'm, you know, showing up in my platform shoes and my shorts, and I'm like.
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, had a man.
Tamara Judge
Ben. I'm like, oh, I don't go.
Sophie Cunningham
Here. It's Like Denise coming into the show, True religions on.
Tamara Judge
Gosh. Chrissy Kat, 83, asks, My best friend forever has stage four metastatic melanoma. How do I support her in the best possible.
Sophie Cunningham
Way. Oh, my gosh. That's. First of all, so, so sorry about that. And you know, we can speak about that on both sides because, you know, there is another side to cancer, and that's the people that are surrounded by you and the people that love you, that feel helpless and are scared and are, you know, going down the deep rabbit hole of Google of what's. What to expect, which is never a good thing. And you know, for me personally, you see on the show, like, I was devastated, devastated. Not eating, not sleeping, stressed out, concerned. Wanted to be with you, didn't want to be doing this. You were at that point, not even.
Tamara Judge
There. Yeah, I was like non responsive, non.
Sophie Cunningham
Responsive. No, no, no, Nothing. It's just. It's just being there. And I think another thing for me is like, I don't want to always ask you, how you.
Tamara Judge
Feeling? Yeah. But I think what's good and what's. You. What you've learned, which I think back in the New Orleans days, you hadn't. Like, if I didn't write you back, you would worry, I'd worry. And now, you know, it's just, she's probably not feeling very good today. Well, also, when you're thought your friend is.
Sophie Cunningham
Struggling.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. Just know that it's not about necessarily how I'm feeling that day or. Or that I don't want to talk to somebody. It's just that, like, sometimes I can't be there the way I would want to be there. So I'm just not there at.
Sophie Cunningham
All. And it was hard for me as well, in the sense that we were. We talked every day. We were on the podcast every day. We were traveling. We were in New Orleans three weeks prior to all this. And then it went from that to the only time. And it's still. There's still a big distance now because you're not. You're not good with your phone or you're tired or you're at a doctor's appointment. So it's a totally different, different. And you mourn that friendship as.
Tamara Judge
Well. I mourned it too. And I. I have that with all of my friends that. But I'm super close.
Sophie Cunningham
With. But it'll come.
Tamara Judge
Back. It'll come back. And also just know, just say just a simple, I love you. Thinking about you. That's.
Sophie Cunningham
Enough. Does it bug you when people are like, how are you? What.
Tamara Judge
Do. Like, too many.
Sophie Cunningham
Questions. Too many.
Tamara Judge
Questions. Too many.
Sophie Cunningham
Questions. Well, that's just in.
Tamara Judge
General. Yeah. I mean, that's pretty much me and life. Yeah. Okay. This is raider JoJo asked if you could have the other squash the beef with someone at Bravo Con this year, who would it be? Who would I have you squash the beef with? I would want you to squash the beef with.
Sophie Cunningham
Gretchen. Oh, I've tried to squash the beef with Gretchen all season long. And you will see as we go on, it's really hard to squash the beef with somebody that's repeatedly, you know, fed fake lies about me. No, but I have tried. Like, I've.
Tamara Judge
Tried. I mean, granted. Do I think that she's lying? Yeah, 1 million percent. I think she's lying. And to me, the issue is more about Gretchen than it is about Katie at this point. I think Katie just doesn't know how to be like a good housewife and just be like, what? You said it. And you know what? Yeah. Then I gossiped about.
Sophie Cunningham
It. Well, I think Katie was also scared because Gretchen and Slade got to her and said, if you repeat this, you could get fired. And she's new. She doesn't know. Like, this. This could be, like, you can go to court over this, because it is. It's illegal. And what they're accusing me of doing is absolutely 100% illegal. And I could go after them, and I could start deposing them and getting them, all three of.
Tamara Judge
Them. And what about how she's changed her story three.
Sophie Cunningham
Times? Well, what you don't know is. And I don't know if this will be a flashback, but when we were at the park, me, Shannon, and Gretchen, when I first questioned her about this, she did this whole performative. This is why I didn't want to come back. This is why they had to ask me three times. I'm like, no, that's called negotiating. And then I go, did you.
Commercial Announcer
Tell her you went to the.
Sophie Cunningham
Hospital? And she said, yes, I.
Commercial Announcer
Did.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. And then they showed it in.
Sophie Cunningham
The flashback, but no, they didn't show the original one. And then I said to her, why did you tell her that? And. And she said, because I didn't feel.
Tamara Judge
Well. And.
Sophie Cunningham
Then. And I don't. I didn't remember in the car. So then she said it in the car again, and now she's saying, oh, I misspoke. Tamara, misspoke. Tamara, misspoke. Like, that's how she. She's just. She's a tough one for me because she doesn't own anything. She's been coming after me for a year, but then she plays victim, so it's very hard for me, you know, and, like, just makes up shit. Like, she was on a podcast, Heather McDonald's.
Commercial Announcer
Podcast.
Sophie Cunningham
And. And I hear that she says something about, well, the reason why Tamara got baptized. I'm like, how would you know why I got.
Tamara Judge
Baptized? And why are we bringing back. It's, like, so long ago. This isn't a recap.
Sophie Cunningham
Episode. The obsession of details, it's just too much for me. I thought you would say.
Tamara Judge
Vicky. No, because, I mean, I feel like at any point in time that beef could be squashed. I bet if they.
Sophie Cunningham
Brought. We've had a few techy.
Tamara Judge
Messages. Yeah, see, I. I don't. I don't even bother because I feel like that one is easy. I feel like if she came back full time, you guys would be.
Sophie Cunningham
Fine. We would move forward. Especially since she sent you a.
Tamara Judge
Present without our pictures in it. Oh, yeah. Who would you answer for.
Sophie Cunningham
Me? Who would I want you to squash the beef with? I mean, I don't think you have too many beefs, do.
Tamara Judge
You? I mean, I think my biggest beef was Denise, and you squashed.
Sophie Cunningham
It. I would say probably, Vicky, I think that you, like, officially squash it. You tried at BravoCon last time, and that didn't go over very.
Tamara Judge
Well. I didn't. I wouldn't say I tried. I was an asshole.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Okay.
Tamara Judge
Well. But I would say that when I filmed on oc, Vicky, me and Shannon were sitting down at a table and, like, Vicki and I had a moment where she finally, like, understood. Yeah. Me. I mean, granted, she then came out and talked about me afterwards, but that's just. But then I got cancer. So then she started being really.
Sophie Cunningham
Nice. Well, Vicki's dealt with people close to her that have had cancer and who had.
Commercial Announcer
Problems.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. So.
Tamara Judge
She'S. I. I would easily squat if I see Vicki. I.
Sophie Cunningham
Don'T. Maybe the three of us can be the new Trace Amigas. We can take our show on the road. I might.
Tamara Judge
Not. And then know who you wouldn't be squashing any beef with? Shannon. Then things would be a real problem. Well, she. You know.
Sophie Cunningham
What? She holds a grudge. That's her.
Tamara Judge
Problem. Then Andy's of Bravo asks, what is something you're both passionate about that we don't know.
Sophie Cunningham
About? Oh, for me, it's home design. I love. I can just sit in a house and stare at it and stare at the walls and be like, oh, knock that wall down. This wall Needs wallpaper. Like, I love. Since I was a kid, I've loved.
Tamara Judge
Decorating. For me, I clearly. You guys know that I love riding horses. Yes. So that's been a big part of something that I'm missing. Something I've become pretty passionate about now has been.
Sophie Cunningham
Swimming. Like, I've never liked swimming. Like, I despise.
Tamara Judge
It. Swimming has given me, like, the days that I'm really struggling. I go and get in the pool and I swim. And it's something about just, I don't know, being in the water, feeling like, weightless and free.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Are you good at swimming? Because I, like, I tried to swim. I had to do the swim test in Scotland when I did Traders and they take you to this Olympic sized pool. I got like halfway through, I'm like, like I'm huffing and puffing. It's hard.
Tamara Judge
Work.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. And then it's like, well, my.
Tamara Judge
Weave. Yeah. You hate to do that. But I also like games. Like, I. If I'm with friends and we can play rummy.
Sophie Cunningham
Cub. I don't even know what that.
Tamara Judge
Is, but I love to play.
Sophie Cunningham
Games. Because you're.
Tamara Judge
Competitive. Yeah. Since you're always adding different housewives to the two T's umbrella, who would be your ideal pairing to.
Sophie Cunningham
Pick? That's a good.
Tamara Judge
Question. I like what we've got going on now where we can kind of fill in for each other and it feels pretty natural. But I wish we had like a Potomac girl on, like, because they. They don't seem afraid to say what they.
Sophie Cunningham
Think. Yeah, I mean, they're. I mean, Robin.
Tamara Judge
And. Yeah, like.
Sophie Cunningham
Giselle. Their. Their podcast is so successful and congratulations to them. But I mean, thinking of, like a pair that we can put on our.
Tamara Judge
Umbrella. We. I mean, we could take.
Sophie Cunningham
Them. We want.
Tamara Judge
You. We want you.
Sophie Cunningham
Guys. Well, I'm there.
Tamara Judge
Yeah. I don't know. I. I mean, we have. We air almost every single day at this.
Sophie Cunningham
Point. Yeah, but who. That's a good question. We need to look into that because I feel like I have had it. Like, oh, we should get them. And now I can't remember now I'm drawing a total blank. And then after we're done, I'll.
Tamara Judge
Be like, oh, well, we have to get people that actually start, you know, that were more quiet on the show, but then really have a lot to.
Sophie Cunningham
Say. Say.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Well, Cynthia and Crystal. Crystal are doing pretty well too with their.
Tamara Judge
Podcast. I mean, there's a lot of.
Sophie Cunningham
People doing pods, but who that doesn't do a podcast at all. That would Be pretty outspoken. I mean, I would love Kate Chastain and pair her with somebody after rewatching her on Traders right now. Holy moly. She's just so.
Tamara Judge
Outspoken. I don't know Kate Chastain very well. We've had some issues in the past, but I'm over. We already squashed that beef at BravoCon at some point. Yeah, it's clearly. It's squashed. Tamara, why do you say nobody reached out to you when Heather clearly.
Sophie Cunningham
Did? Oh, so basically what happened was Heather reached out to me when I was in that night at New Orleans, and when I was on the. That, like at 4 in the morning, I got on the plane and she had text me at 4 in the morning. Or wasn't 4 in the morning, but my plane. It was a long flight, so. Actually, it wasn't a long flight. It wasn't three hours. We did it. But anyways, so I. So she texts me on my way out. I was talking about when I actually got home.
Tamara Judge
I. That's what I knew.
Sophie Cunningham
You. I. I mean, I didn't get a phone. I would have loved a phone call. Like, you know, and. And I did end up texting Heather back. I just needed to take a beat and I needed to just not be on my phone, not look at social media. Just get.
Tamara Judge
The. You've already done enough damage with your Insta story.
Sophie Cunningham
Post. I.
Tamara Judge
Know. Damn it.
Sophie Cunningham
Tamara. So, yeah. And you know what? Actually, Shannon, text me that night.
Tamara Judge
Too. That night you wanted once you got home. When I.
Sophie Cunningham
Got. I was so out of it then that, you know, even the. The flight home was pretty rough for me, so I was really.
Tamara Judge
Pretty. Oh. Fans also wanted to know this question. Did you actually end up having to get an Uber back to the hotel or to.
Sophie Cunningham
Production?
Tamara Judge
Production.
Sophie Cunningham
No. Production had a car for me out there with like they always do. It was just taking a little bit longer than normal. And they have cars be. They have extra cars out there in case something like this happens that are rigged with cameras. Yeah, and mine was rigged cameras because I don't even remember calling.

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

Tamara Judge
Outlaws. Teddy how this is from R Y C o n n 314. How do you think Tam would do on RHOBH? And how would Teddy do on Real Housewives Orange.
Sophie Cunningham
County? Well, you've been on a Housewives of Orange County. I think you would do great. I think that you, I think personally that you fit in better in Orange county county than Beverly Hills. I feel like you're just a down to earth girl. But then I do think like every show needs different personalities to make it work. So I think you're good at both of.
Tamara Judge
Them. I Think if Beverly Hills saw you walking in to film, they would shit their pants. Like, shit would just start leaking out. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I think you'd be great on any show that you're on, but I can't. I. I personally can't even picture.
Sophie Cunningham
It. I think I would be intimidated a little.
Tamara Judge
Bit. You may be intimidated, but then, you know what? You just have a glass of champagne and a Xanax and then you just show them the way to go. Yeah, I would like to be.
Sophie Cunningham
A housewife floater like Cynthia. Yeah, Cynthia was, but now.
Tamara Judge
She'S. I don't know that we have the personality.
Sophie Cunningham
Type. Oh, I think we could do it. I think it should be a pair. I think the two of us should just go, like, spend, you know, two weeks in Salt Lake City and then we'll go to Miami. And what is.
Tamara Judge
That? What are their jobs?
Sophie Cunningham
Shitsters. Shit stirs. Professional.
Tamara Judge
Shitsters. Shit stirs. Here we go, this next one. Tamara, how was Alexis's bridal.
Sophie Cunningham
Shower? Oh, it was really nice. It was like. It was at a jewelry store down in Balboa island, and it was just a couple hours of. We played a game, we had some food, a little drinks, and it was. It was nice. Just John's family and some of her.
Tamara Judge
Friends. Yeah. Teddy, do you have any tea on upcoming BH season? Oh, yeah. I'm just going to share all the tea and get my ass handed to.
Sophie Cunningham
Me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. Do you remember that time where.
Tamara Judge
We.
Sophie Cunningham
We. We were in here in your house and we showed the picture from the Orange county.
Tamara Judge
Reunion?
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. And watermarked it with two.
Tamara Judge
T's. Oh, my gosh. No, I have nothing to share. I think it's going to be a good season. Oh, my gosh. From what I've heard, it's pretty juicy. So. Yeah, we'll see. Tamara, when was the last time you actually spoke.
Sophie Cunningham
With. I text with her. I don't know, maybe a month ago. And something was said. She said something. Oh, I know what it was. I did a post and like, a story, like, ask me anything, and I said something nice about her or having her come back and then return. You know, this is typical Vicki. Oh, I love Tamara. I love her so much. We have so much in common. We've known each other forever. And so it kind of went to that. And then I heard about that. Then I text her a video of us. Like a montage of all the funny moments that somebody put together. And then she wrote me back the next day and she's like, oh, I love this. So we. And then it hasn't been.
Tamara Judge
Any. She's easy to get mad, but easy to.
Sophie Cunningham
Forget. Yeah. But the thing is, is like, I don't think there was any reason for her to be mad about. Towards me or at me. It was more. She was, you know, because I called Shannon out last year, so she was.
Tamara Judge
Like. I think because you called Shannon out yester last year and I didn't. Don't think she liked our.
Sophie Cunningham
Friendship. No, not anyways. No. So I. I think it's fine. I don't have any hard feelings.
Tamara Judge
But those are the questions. Guys, we gave you as juicy as we possibly could. I'm excited for Salt Lake City to start.
Sophie Cunningham
Airing. Oh, if there's any other show that you can go to besides Beverly Hills, what would it.
Tamara Judge
Be? Salt Lake.
Sophie Cunningham
City. Me.
Tamara Judge
Too. Or.
Sophie Cunningham
Miami. Yeah. Yep. But Salt Lake City, those girls know how to do it. They argue, they fight. It's conflict, it's resolution. It's not like nobody's holding a grudge. I'm not hearing about what happened two years ago. I'm not hearing what happened 17 years ago. Like they just move.
Tamara Judge
On. Yeah. They keep it.
Commercial Announcer
Moving. Like they.
Sophie Cunningham
Make. They make good tv and I.
Tamara Judge
Hope it goes the same. Do you think we're gonna see Monica this.
Sophie Cunningham
Year? I doubt it. I don't know. Didn't she. I mean, she was. Just had a baby and all that during the time and I love and all that, you know, but it's hard, you know? You know, it is like having a baby and like it's the last thing on your mind is filming a reality show I just saw on Instagram. I don't know if it's true, but it's like 300 and something days till Jin Shaw is.
