There is always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay's authenticity guarantee. Ebay Things People Love if you're looking.

Two t's in a pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tama.
Host
Hey, guys. Welcome back to another episode of two T's in a Pod. And we have Vicki and Christian from my. My friend, my soulmate, my sister podcast.
Alexis Jansen
Yeah.
Host
Yes, I said it's your podcast. Are you glad that you have a podcast now?
Tamara
Yeah, we're having fun with it.
Teddi Mellencamp
We're almost to 100 episodes. That's amazing.
Host
I hear I'm gonna be your hundredth.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's what our idea was.
Host
That's what's gonna happen.
Teddi Mellencamp
You heard it here first.
Host
Why don't we take a quick trip down memory lane?
Alexis Jansen
Oh, yay.
Host
Do you want to do that?
Tamara
You're reading.
Vicki
I. I wasn't reading earlier.
Tamara
But you looked like you were reading the floor.
Vicki
Because I have to zone out. What was I going to do? Make eye contact with you and be like, hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of.
Host
Oh, my God.
Tamara
Don't you ever used to do that?
Host
Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my God.
Host
We had so much fun. We really did. So the infamous dinner party where Tamara and Vicky teamed up to get Gretchen naked wasted.
Tamara
We didn't team up.
Host
No.
Tamara
The fact of the matter was she wanted to get naked wasted.
Host
Okay, so first of all, we talked about me and Vicki had this term naked wasted. It was not like to get somebody actually naked. It was just like, let's get naked wasted.
Sponsor Voice 2
Silly drama.
Host
We would go to the river and look, let's go naked waisted. And Vicki would get hit in the head with a football and she'd have, like, concussion. It was just, like, always a thing. So it's never like to get her naked. Vicki, what did you think about the season when this moment was brought up.
Tamara
Like, it was ridiculous.
Host
Ridiculous.
Alexis Jansen
Absolutely.
Tamara
The editing was, like starving for a storyline when there wasn't any substance there.
Host
How do you feel about her still hanging onto that 17, 15 years later?
Tamara
It's weird.
Host
Like, move on, bitch.
Tamara
She is caught in the past with.
Host
Many things, like her hair. Yeah.
Vicki
Oh, I'd rather talk about her filtering her nostrils than talking about that. I'm over it. Have you seen that she has no nostrils in any of her posts?
Tamara
No. Do I. Do you. You tell.
Host
She filters them like.
Vicki
No, she filters her nostrils out. Have you noticed?
Host
I know you've noticed.
Tamara
Why did she take her nostrils away?
Vicki
I don't know. Apparently, nostrils are cob.
Host
Do you remember. Do you remember the Cabo trip where the two of us were doing body shots like, lick it, slam it, suck it. And we could not remember what the actual, like, how do you say?
Vicki
The order.
Host
So what is it today?
Alexis Jansen
What's that?
Vicki
What is it?
Tamara
That's what we do. Lick it, slam it, slam it, suck it. And then lick it, Slam it, suck it. We're sucking the line, right?
Host
Yes, yes.
Alexis Jansen
And we.
Tamara
We lick the salt. Slam it.
Host
And then what are we sucking the line. Okay, I just. I can't remember. I haven't licked it. Slime and sucked it in a long time.
Vicki
You haven't licked a slime? I hope not.
Host
Not the. Licked it, Slammed it, sucked it.
Tamara
Yeah.
Host
We haven't done it in a while. Once we did it, we had so much fun. Do you remember back then, you and I would just go on trips with nobody else?
Vicki
What?
Alexis Jansen
They don't do that anymore. They don't. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm like, I'm sorry because, you know, we introduced camera.
Vicki
I hate it.
Teddi Mellencamp
It feels weird.
Alexis Jansen
We are enough.
Host
We were friendships.
Tamara
We have to do our own show.
Vicki
By the end, I think I need.
Tamara
Everybody to be near. I can't do that without those people.
Vicki
Yeah.
Host
Next season it's me and you.
Vicki
We do these things just like us.
Host
Because we can have fun.
Vicki
Move on.
Alexis Jansen
These two are literally. We're living.
Tamara
Okay.
Alexis Jansen
Hello.
Tamara
We're doing a podcast over here. Can you stay focused?
Host
I know.
Vicki
What do you guys want us to do?
Alexis Jansen
Just cute.
Tamara
Yeah.
Host
You guys are so cute together.
Tamara
We have to go get cute.
Host
I know.
Tamara
We got a place to go and.
Host
Talk about when you peed on my bed.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, so good.
Tamara
It was an accident. We had wands.
Host
Was it a full pee or just a little drip?
Tamara
It was a little quarter size. Because we went from that restaurant all the way to Andal's.
Host
But we were left laughing so hard because Gretchen was so mad at us.
Teddi Mellencamp
One of my favorite confessionals ever is Vicki going, bye, bye, Gretchen.
Tamara
I sent her that.
Host
I sent it to you recently, right?
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my God, that's so messy.
Tamara
She was all about you and the bridal party.
Host
I'm like, no, you were my best friend.
Tamara
I know, but she was acting like she was your best friend. You were buying into it, but not.
Host
Until you peed on my bed. And then we left. Remember?
Vicki
We left on marking your territory.
Host
No. So wait, let's hear some backstory. Let me just give you some backstory story. So we're at a restaurant filming. And filming was almost done, Right. Fancy pants put us this fancy restaurant.
Alexis Jansen
Yes.
Host
Because her mom lived there. So me and Vicki are like, screw this. Let's go to Andal. Vicki goes, it's around the corner.
Tamara
And the camera crew goes, we can't follow you. We're down cameras.
Host
It was two miles away, and we.
Tamara
Were in high shoes. And I go, camera crew, you don't have to follow us. We're just gonna go. And they're, like, called home office.
Alexis Jansen
They.
Tamara
They're going to a place.
Host
The girls are gone. And go ahead, follow them.
Alexis Jansen
Follow them.
Tamara
And they're walking backwards for two miles. Cobblestone streets, up and down. We're on the boardwalk.
Host
We got ears. Lydia. And then next, we were dancing on Cats. And then we're on the bar, and then do you remember Heather and Gretchen were so mad at us, and we're like.
Tamara
Because we were having fun and they weren't. And guess what? Footage sticked.
Alexis Jansen
Our fun.
Host
Yes, exactly. Exactly. You bond. We bonded over being fired together. Let's talk about that.
Tamara
So I was at an insurance conference, actually, here in Vegas, and I was getting ready to get my word, and Doug Ross texted me, do you got a minute?
Vicki
Nobody wants.
Host
I got the same text. I got the same text. I'm like, tell me your story.
Tamara
Well, I just got my cute long dress on and my sequin earrings and. And not sequin earrings, diamond earrings, sequin dress. And then I called him on the balcony, and he's like, we're taking a different route this year.
Host
Same story.
Alexis Jansen
Same story.
Tamara
I go, what route are we taking? Cause I have to be on that route.
Teddi Mellencamp
She said, where we're going.
Alexis Jansen
Yeah.
Tamara
And then I was devastated. Then I called you, and you were.
Host
So I was actually camping, and I didn't have good cell reception. So every, like, six hours, I go to the main road and check my phone, and I had multiple text Calls from Doug Ross and Alex Baskin. And so I text them. I said, hey, guys, I don't have good cell reception.
Alexis Jansen
What's up?
Host
They're like, can you talk?
Vicki
Nobody wants a. Can you talk?
Alexis Jansen
Yeah.
Host
And I had my kickoff meeting Friday, that Friday coming up there.
Teddi Mellencamp
You were set to go?
Host
I was set to go. So I thought, okay, cool, good, we're another season. And so I said, okay, hold on. So I had to drive a little.
Vicki
Bit more up the road.
Host
And I called them. They're like, hey, I just want to let you know that we decided to take another route and we're not going.
Alexis Jansen
To have you back.
Host
And I go, okay, thank you very much.
Alexis Jansen
Fuck off.
Host
And I hung up.
Tamara
I didn't say, fuck off.
Alexis Jansen
I go, fuck off.
Tamara
What did I do wrong? Am I too old? Am I too fat?
Host
Am I too skinny? And then I went back to camp and I started hysterically crying. It ruined my whole weekend camping.
Teddi Mellencamp
Nor really would God.
Host
So it's really.
Teddi Mellencamp
For the record, I didn't even know you then. And it ruined my weekend. I was at work at my desk when the TMZ article. No, it was when you posted your post. And she said, you know, as the og, the oc, I'm stepping down. And I remember I was at my work office. I was working for.
Host
I didn't say I stepped down. I'm like, I got fired.
Vicki
Fired me?
Alexis Jansen
Yep.
Tamara
But I didn't understand it. That was the hard part for me.
Host
I still don't.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't either.
Host
Yeah, I don't.
Tamara
They said, oh, can you come in as a friend?
Vicki
They probably don't either.
Tamara
I don't really. I didn't. I never got a real good explanation, but I know that they had to bring in new people and change it up a little bit. They were younger with age that I did it work?
Alexis Jansen
I don't know. I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do we think maybe that was the plan the whole time? I think maybe they.
Alexis Jansen
I.
Teddi Mellencamp
This is very far fetched, but y' all remember when it's like the housewives are in their sweat, like their prime, like all the OGs were in place. And then like always on Twitter and stuff, people are like, I'm tired of this. Like, we need new faces, we need new era, new generation. And then so I think Bravo was like, okay, it.
Alexis Jansen
We'll do it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you think they took two of the big.
Host
Social media has an influence on 100.
Teddi Mellencamp
And I think that was the start of it. And I think maybe they did listen. And I think that, you know, they caused a lot of, you know, desire for people to want y' all back. And I think that now that we're approaching a monumental season, like season 20.
Alexis Jansen
I want to have fun.
Teddi Mellencamp
Maybe that was what the plan was.
Host
I want to celebrate your relationship.
Tamara
I don't know if I have a day left or a year left or 500 years left.
Alexis Jansen
I don't.
Tamara
I'm not doing conflict.
Host
Well, you guys are laughing at all your asses.
Vicki
Now we've got. We've got Alexis that's joined us because we're about to have to wrap the.
Host
Pod to the party. And guess who's in my. I'm in your world now.
Tamara
I know, right?

Is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Release Date: November 14, 2025
Hosts: Teddi Mellencamp, Tamra Judge
Guests: Vicki Gunvalson, Alexis Jansen
In this lively episode, Teddi, Tamra, and guest OG Vicki Gunvalson take listeners on an entertaining stroll down memory lane, recounting infamous moments from their Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) days. Touching on BravoCon 2025 energy, friendship dynamics, and the often messy—but hilarious—reality TV memories that shaped them, the episode is full of laughter, candid confessions, and signature shade. Alexis Jansen (formerly Bellino) joins toward the end for witty banter and some very real talk about cosmetic updates.
The "Naked Wasted" Night
“We didn't team up. The fact of the matter was she wanted to get naked wasted.” (04:45)
“It's weird.” (Tamra, 05:29)
“Move on, bitch.” (Host, 05:31)
“Have you seen that she has no nostrils in any of her posts?” (Vicki, 05:36)
The Cabo Trip Antics
“We were friendships.” (Host, 06:56)
“We have to do our own show.” (Tamra, 06:57)
“Because we can have fun.” (Host, 07:05)
Infamous “Pee” Story
“It was an accident. We had [wine].” (Tamra, 07:25)
“One of my favorite confessionals ever is Vicki going, bye, bye, Gretchen.” (Teddi, 07:39)
Rebellion Against Filming Restrictions
“And the camera crew goes, ‘we can't follow you. We're down cameras.’ … We're just gonna go. And they're, like, called home office.” (Host, 08:20)
“Because we were having fun and they weren't. And guess what? Footage sticked.” (Tamra, 08:54)
“What did I do wrong? Am I too old? Am I too fat?” (Tamra, 10:34)
“I went back to camp and I started hysterically crying.” (Host/Vicki, 10:35)
“For the record, I didn't even know you then. And it ruined my weekend.” (Teddi, 10:44)
“Did it work? I don't know. I don't know.” (Tamra, 11:19)
“Do we think maybe that was the plan the whole time?... Maybe they did listen.” (Teddi, 11:21–11:45)
“I don't know if I have a day left or a year left or 500 years left. I'm not doing conflict.” (Tamra, 12:00)
“Now she's no longer Jesus Jugs. She's Jansen Jugs.” (Host, 12:47)
“You're four days [out]? ... You shouldn't even be like sitting up in bed on your own at this point.” (Vicki/Teddi, 13:07–13:08)
“What makes you think this is a good idea? It's like, boobs in the tubes.” (Teddi, 13:56)
The conversation is fast-paced, snarky, deeply personal, and peppered with the kind of wit and banter that only real friends (and Housewives veterans) can share. There's heartfelt vulnerability amid the laughs—about losing their TV spots, about the toll of reality TV, and the importance of friendship—and a shared refusal to let go of their joy, even after the cameras are gone.
This BravoCon episode is a must-listen for any RHOC fan or Housewife devotee, as Tamra, Teddi, and Vicki seamlessly blend nostalgia, unfiltered real talk, and playful shade. From infamous "naked wasted" nights to post-surgery tube jokes and honest feelings about their place in Housewives history, the Two Ts (and guests) deliver an episode as heartfelt as it is hilarious.
