Two T's in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Jud. Hi, it's Teddi Mellencamp and Tamara Judge. Welcome back to two T's in a Pod live from Bravocon in Las Vegas. It's such a fun, busy weekend and we wanna make sure you get as many episodes as possible. So we have a special guest co host for you. Alexis Bellino is here. Take it away, Alexis. Hey, everybody. I am here with not only my dear friend, but also my current roommate for the evening.

[Galena Salkowska]

Stay in my room. Thank you so much for that.

[Tamara Judge]

Galena is here with us from McBee Dynasty. Are we so excited to sit down. You've never been interviewed by me before?

[Galena Salkowska]

No, never.

[Tamara Judge]

Are you scared?

[Galena Salkowska]

No.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, good.

[Galena Salkowska]

I'm excited.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, get ready.

[Galena Salkowska]

All right, let's do it. Let's do it, babe.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, bring it on. So my first question is probably going to be tough, but I want to know how you feel about the. What just happened with the court case and the decision made.

[Galena Salkowska]

It is a tough question. I do not feel really good about it. I do not think it's fair. You know, I think it's absolutely horrible what happened. It's a bad situation altogether. So.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, so when you say it's not fair, expand on that a little bit. And the only reason I had to start with that question is because I know that that's what is on everyone's mind when it comes to you guys and your. Your show and your all of that. So we'll end happy on this one with. With BravoCon and everything and your experience. But right now, let's just get through some of the thick of what I know people are wanting to know about it, but so what, what makes it unfair in your eyes?

[Galena Salkowska]

Because it's absolutely not deserved. We all worked so hard at this farming business, you know, the entire thing is just absolutely out of control. And the fact that he is being so punished for working hard, making, you know, like clerical basically a mistake, I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's right.

[Tamara Judge]

Does he know you feel that way?

[Galena Salkowska]

Yeah, I'm very outspoken about it. Okay, we all are.

[Tamara Judge]

How's the relationship with all of you? The sons and him. Like both sons and him. And. And so.

[Galena Salkowska]

But the boys, actually, the relationship and you.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I know, is what I mean. Them regarding you is what I'm trying to get the viewers to or the listeners to see.

[Galena Salkowska]

I feel like relationship with the boys are getting better and better. Since we are not in relationship with, you know, since I am not in relationship with Steve anymore. With Steve, it's going to be a process for me to kind of put everything that happened behind me and become partners and friends and, you know, learning how to understand it and digest it. And, you know, I never live in the past. I always look in the into future and, you know, there's so much in the future. So that's where my focus is.

[Tamara Judge]

I love that. Okay, so enough of the heavy talk of what everyone is dying to know here. Let's now move into the fun of Bravo Con.

[Galena Salkowska]

Let's do that.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay. Is it your first?

[Galena Salkowska]

Yes.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay. It's my second newbie. Everyone, I'm so excited about this because nurse Mel just. Just stepped in here and now I get Galena, what are your thoughts? And, I mean, I know she just got off the plane, you guys. I'm talking Galena got off the plane at 10. Text me, said, I'm on the way to your hotel room. I'm in. Just finished Carlos King podcast in hair and makeup. I'm like, girl, it's busy, but just come. We're all shucking and jiving here and.

[Galena Salkowska]

Yes, we are.

[Tamara Judge]

She changes and comes in looking fabulous. Like, here she is. So, yeah. So, okay, so you don't really have any. You can't give me any dirt about, like, did you see anyone? I guess I could ask that. Have you ran into any other.

[Galena Salkowska]

Not really. Not yet. Just because I literally ran straight to your room. You know, like, change. Like, I wanted to put some food in my stomach before, you know, this evening because, you know, obviously the time difference between Missouri and like, I wanted to be awake, but tonight. So I'm like, okay, I'm going to eat, I'm going to get dressed, and I'm going to stay focused because I'm so excited to see you and Be here.

[Tamara Judge]

So you have a very busy agenda the rest of the day. You're headed to the Bravo Con. The Bravos. I mean, tonight, right?

[Galena Salkowska]

[Galena Salkowska]

I am wearing a super cool gold dress. Ooh.

[Tamara Judge]

[Galena Salkowska]

[Tamara Judge]

[Tamara Judge]

You're not? I think this is gonna be amazing. I'm prepared for it.

[Galena Salkowska]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I think everyone wants to.

[Galena Salkowska]

I feel like I need to, like, recover from everything that happened to me, get healthy before I will commit to any kind of dating.

[Tamara Judge]

That is exactly what Nurse Mel just said. I love that you guys are taking your time to just detox. Oh, wait, I wasn't going to use that word.

[Galena Salkowska]

I'm like, I need to detox. I'm like, I need to, like. Okay. Get into the right space.

[Tamara Judge]

I would never have chosen that word. I would have said just simply find yourself or take a little space.

[Galena Salkowska]

So.

[Tamara Judge]

That is so funny.

[Galena Salkowska]

No, for sure. After last one, I have to detox.

I can't miss her birthday for anything.

[Galena Salkowska]

Do you have anything you want to talk about or say? I mean, okay, this woman is busy. Let me just say, if you haven't watched McBee Dynasty, they have car washes, they have the farm. They have. I mean, tell the viewers anything else or the listener. I keep saying viewers. I am on a podcast now, Alexis. It's listeners. Tell them anything.

[Galena Salkowska]

I would encourage everybody to just follow me on my Instagram because that's like on my stories I post everything and there is so much more to come and just Galina Salkowska just follow me on my Instagram if you want to keep up with me. Good luck with that.

[Tamara Judge]
