Jesse Lally from the Valley. I just. I walked into the wrong room. I thought it was my room. Here I am, two T's in a pod. Once again, throwback to my first podcast ever. Nice to meet you.
Tamara Judge
It's nice to meet you. But this is a suite. Honey, you are in. You are in the two cheese in a podcast suite. Like two or three bedroom suite.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't even.
Jesse Lally
Snacks, Amazing snacks.
Tamara Judge
Did you get some salami?
Jesse Lally
I got some salami.
Tamara Judge
Okay. So it's so fun to finally meet you. I have heard a lot about you. I obviously, everyone knows the show that you're on, but I'm wondering from you, this is your first Bravocon, right?
Jesse Lally
First Bravocon.
Tamara Judge
So I'm wondering from you, you've only been here a hot second. I mean, it started about three hours ago, but what has happened? What has it been like so far? Have people recognized you in the hallway? How was your flight?
Jesse Lally
It was amazing. The flight we flew in jet suite, met other Bravo celebrities that I had, you know, never met before.
Tamara Judge
Okay, hold on, hold on. We're potting right now. You got to who?
Jesse Lally
You got to do details. I met a couple people from the upcoming Persian Style, the Valley, formerly Shahs of Sunset. Sheena Shay was on my flight, but I've also seen on Instagram the Kyle Cooks running into so and so at the airport. And it's just. It's everybody coming together and running into people in the lobby. And then I just happened to be walking around looking at like the layout of the hotel. And a couple people came up to me and said, oh, my God, can I take a picture with you? I heard everybody staying at the Four Seasons. Can you confirm who else is gonna be here? And I'm like, I think everybody's staying in Encore or just me.
Tamara Judge
Okay, well, I love that personality about it because that's a very witty, quick thing to say. But, yeah, everyone's here. It is crazy. You just, you, you, you walk out the room and there's four other Bravo liberties. So guess what? BravoCon's real and it's big.
Jesse Lally
I know. I'm excited. I'm excited. I, I actually did Kristen and Luke's podcast also on the Valley, and, and she was asking about how excited we were as first timers because she's been here before. And I will tell you, I have had two trips to Vegas since the show premiered. And both trips 24 hour just for show or concert and the fan base that comes to Las Vegas. I remember going back and I asked a couple people, why was it so crazy? I was in Vegas for 24 hours and people are screaming my name. And this is the demographic of people that watch Bravo.
Tamara Judge
Strippers and gamblers. Everybody, everybody wants to come to Vegas.
Jesse Lally
It's like people from all over the country, they cut. They come here to have fun. And, you know, it's, it's, it's exciting to see. And I can't imagine when it's all focused on Bravo, how wild it's going to be.
Tamara Judge
It is crazy. And I, I love positive energy. I really do. I know people think from what you see on TV is, is one way, but I mean, I hope you even feel my positive energy here right now. But I love it because it doesn't feel heavy at all. Everyone is screaming, happy, excited, grab another cocktail. Good to see you. Can I have a photo? It's just a fun time.
Jesse Lally
Yeah. I asked somebody recently, you know, are there going to be people yelling and screaming like you're a douchebag or you're.
Tamara Judge
This, Wait till tonight. Well, they won't say that. No one. No one. I'll tell you what I have Learned in my 15 years of reality being on reality TV. No one is mean to your face. They will not come up and yell at you and say you're a douchebag. And you did. I don't like that you did this scene on one of your episodes or whatever. But they do give a lot of love. Even the person that's probably typing later tonight about how they don't like something about you. They're so kind here. And everyone's having fun.
Jesse Lally
I mean, everyone's paying to come here to enjoy this experience. And from what I've been told, it is very positive.
Commercial Announcer 3
This is.
Jesse Lally
Everybody who is here is here for the right reason. I was told to be careful what I say at the bar when I'm at the lobby of the hotel.
Tamara Judge
This is true.
Jesse Lally
This is. Yeah, no, this is 100%. Everybody's here. Everybody's here to enjoy their weekend. And. And, you know, I'm excited. I was never a major reality watcher, but if since after meeting a lot of different people have started watching some shows. So, like, what I am currently, for four seasons into Southern Charm, and I will tell you, if anyone asks, who are you most excited to meet? I want to have a martini with Patricia from Southern Charm, because she is.
Tamara Judge
This is good, guys. This is good.
Jesse Lally
Who of anyone you don't know, would you like to meet while here at Bravoco?
Tamara Judge
Oh, my gosh. Like, honest to God, we just started three companies, and I have six kids now, and I just got married. The last thing I can do is watch tv.
Commercial Announcer 2
I am.
Tamara Judge
But I've also been on Bravo for quite a few years. Like four at the beginning and then one last year. So I've met a lot of these people, and I love them all. I think they're. Everyone has their, you know, their niche or their reason that they're so amazing. And you also have to remember Jesse, as you know now it is not easy to be on a reality TV show. So it's kind of. It's fun, and I just. I appreciate each person for where they are and that we're all here coming together for this career that we have all fallen into.
Commercial Announcer 1
It's.
Jesse Lally
It's. It's very exciting. It's very exciting to see, you know, a group of people across the entire Bravo universe who are willing to put all of that stuff out, you know, and tell this story about themselves with, you know, being as authentic and vulnerable as they can and now getting to meet all of them and, you know, you know, also watching shows, the more I watch, the more I see these, like, similar character, you know, characters across different shows, and, you know, they know what they're doing, and they, you know, the people love each individual show and each individual character. It's very exciting.
Tamara Judge
And you just said you love how everyone's so open and real. So you just completed a divorce and I just completed a marriage.
Teddi Mellencamp
Right?
Tamara Judge
So, cheers. Let's cheers to that.
Sophie Cunningham
Cheers to that.
Jesse Lally
Yeah, yeah. Congrats. Congratulations.
Tamara Judge
And congratulations.
Jesse Lally
I'm so sorry for you. No, I'm just kidding. Wait, wait.
Tamara Judge
You can't be on the John Jansen bad bus already.
Jesse Lally
Listen, listen, I say over and over again, I love, love. It didn't work out for my ex wife and I, but we have a beautiful five year old daughter and we're doing really, really well. But yeah, the divorce was finalized just a week or two ago.
Commercial Announcer 3
Okay.
Tamara Judge
So I'm gonna ask one serious question, then we're gonna go back to the fun of it. But what was your feeling when that happened? Because I've been divorced, you know this, right. And I'm now married, but it was only eight years ago or seven years ago. So what was that feeling when the papers. Mine happened fast. We were like with a mediator. We got it done. I wasn't smart enough to probably handle it the way I should have, but it is what it is. But what did it feel like now that. That part is because you are with a very serious rela. In a serious relationship.
Jesse Lally
Yeah. So ours took a little bit longer. Ours was about two and a half years and everybody's asked me that how did it feel in the moment? And when I signed the paperwork, my ex wife sat across the table from me and she was crying. And for her it just felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. For me, a couple months after we separated, we had kept it a secret for a while. Then she immediately, within a couple weeks, was in a relationship. So once I found out who that person was and we made it public, I was done. So for me, fast forward almost two years later.
Tamara Judge
Hold on. One question real quick. Sorry to interrupt you. So she started dating somebody before you even knew it. And it was very soon in the relationship and that's when you were like.
Jesse Lally
Okay, now that's when I sort of, for me, it was like immediate, like, all right, this is over, I'm done. Yeah. It's not like signing the papers, you know, was a weight off my shoulders or it made me feel lighter, which my ex wife said it did for her. But for me it was like when I found out she was in this relationship, I, you know, five months after we separated, I moved on. I had already moved on. So signing the paperwork was for me, just signing papers.
Tamara Judge
You know, Jesse, that is such like, I don't like we're at Bravocon. We're not supposed to be talking deep right now. But the one thing I know is that when my ex, Jim and I, the father of my children, and I decided to divorce. It was pretty much like when one of us went to the courthouse. From that moment on, it was done for me. But, you know, a lot of people don't feel that. A lot of people feel like you have to wait till the ink is on the paper and your divorce is finalized, which neither is right or wrong, in my opinion. You have to do what feels good for you and works for your family at the time. But that's an interesting story. That's something I didn't know about you. And that's not just out there.
Jesse Lally
Yeah, it was.
Tamara Judge
You're talking from the heart right now.
Jesse Lally
Yeah, yeah, no, 100%. It was for me. I'll never forget. Five months after we separated, she moved out in the same moving company that moved us into the house, moved her into her new place. And literally, they walked out and the guy said to me, enjoy your bachelor pad. And I thought about it. I looked at my master closet, and it was, like, missing, you know, holes in the closet. And I. That was when it happened for me. I was like, oh, my God, this is. I can. I can put all my suits in this section, and I can. And then all of a sudden, it was. It was me. It was just me. All I had was me and, you know, my daughter. And then I think for my ex wife, I could see the emotion when I actually signed the papers.
Tamara Judge
So you guys had it at different times.
Jesse Lally
We had a. Different times, yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
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 away.
Commercial Announcer 2
That's what happened with my Quince order. Everything so soft and well made. I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.
Teddi Mellencamp
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 repeat.
Commercial Announcer 2
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 warm.
Teddi Mellencamp
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 charge.
Commercial Announcer 2
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 you.
Teddi Mellencamp
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 Quince.

Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more, well, fun. But here's a confession, dirty rush listeners. You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. It's not mindless scrolling. It's a fashion pursuit. I love using filters for condition and price saving searches and spotting verified listings. It makes shopping feel smart and exciting again. And when you score that rare Adidas collab or that Dior saddlebag you've been manifesting, it's a rush. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay's authenticity guarantee. Ebay things people love.
Tamara Judge
So funny about your mover. My wedding planner. The planned my wedding to my husband of my children, ex husband of my children 20 years ago, was my wedding planner for this wedding. Amazing because I interviewed so many and it's all like full circle. And then I went right back to her. I said, you know me, me, you know what I want. But this is a completely different style. First one was black tie, all white and black and red. This one was no black allowed and all earth tones. And it's like whimsical. Can you make it happen? She's like, yep, I got you. Isn't that funny?
Jesse Lally
It would have been amazing if you wanted the exact same palette. And she's like, nah, that didn't work out so well last time. Let's make it all black. Let's just make everything black.
Tamara Judge
Nobody's in white except you. Or you're in black. And everyone else is exactly perfect. Okay, that is. Okay.
Jesse Lally
So back to the fun. Let's get. Let's get away from.
Tamara Judge
I have a fun question for you.
Commercial Announcer 3
Okay, okay.
Tamara Judge
So I've got a paddle here for you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Tamara Judge
There's one of Teddy and one of Tamara. I have a question to ask you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Tamara Judge
And you're gonna hold up the paddle. We're gonna have to. There's no cameras, so we're gonna have to just talk. Put them down. And then now you're gonna tell me.
Jesse Lally
Hold them both.
Tamara Judge
You're gonna. You're gonna pick one and hold it up, and we're see if we have the same answer. Okay. Between. Have you listened to Teddy and Tamra on their podcast or do you even know a little bit about their personality? Otherwise, this game's not gonna work.
Jesse Lally
I mean, I only really listen to myself on the podcast, so. Untrue.
Tamara Judge
Well, then guess what? This will be hysterical because you don't really know. So I'm gonna ask you a question.
Jesse Lally
All right? You have to hold up one or the other, right?
Tamara Judge
You're gonna choose Tamara or Teddi.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Tamara Judge
Who do you think would be the first to jump off the bridge for the other person between Teddi and Tamara? You gotta hold them both.
Jesse Lally
Oh, damn it. I. I was gonna say Dolores, because that seems like every episode I've ever listened to. She's filling in for Tamara.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Commercial Announcer 3
Okay.
Tamara Judge
That's a good one. We don't have a face of her. We only have Teddy and Tamara.
Jesse Lally
Correct. All right, so going on now. I'm sweating. I can't.
Tamara Judge
No, but it's been great. We have to move on to the rest of Bravocon. You have a packed schedule, so we've got to get you to your next dill. But it was really nice to actually get to sit down with you for a little bit.
Jesse Lally
It was nice to meet you. I love that we have the OC Connection together. I love meeting you. We have the Spencer connection together. And now here we are podcasting together.
