Want to know the secret to success around the holidays? Two words. Duracell batteries. Because giving someone a gift that needs batteries without giving them the batteries too, that's not a gift anymore.
Commercial Announcer
Plus, Duracell batteries are the only battery brand with power boost ingredients, which are a unique blend of nickel and lithium that can only be found in Duracell batteries.
Tamara Judge
So make sure those gifts have the power they need on Christmas morning and stock up on the only Battery brand with PowerBoost ingredients. Choose DuraCel.

Robin
Do you have something in your closet? I might have a dress.
Teddi Mellencamp

Robin
How tall would I fit?
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm like five, eight, almost.
Tamara Judge

Robin
We're not quite that tall. We're very short.

Robin
Yeah, from Potomac. I thought she was really cool.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay. I haven't met any of the new girls yet.
Robin
You haven't?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Robin
Did you meet anybody new that you haven't met before?
Tamara Judge
No. I saw a lot of people I've seen before. Don't you worry. Saw Captain Jason.
Robin
I saw you took a picture with them.
Tamara Judge
Well, he came up to me, though, just for the record.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay. So did Heather. Gay. I know. Make out with him or not?
Robin
He said no.
Teddi Mellencamp
He said no?
Tamara Judge
Yes.
Robin
Can you answer this question?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Robin
At our age, when somebody says we hooked up.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Robin
Are they getting it in or are they making out?
Tamara Judge
I think it's making out. She thinks.
Robin
I think it sucks.
Teddi Mellencamp
I feel like at our age, hooked up, if you had sex, you say we had sex.
Tamara Judge
That's what I said.
Teddi Mellencamp
Or like we boned or whatever.
Robin
I'm older than both of you. I'm older than both of you, so I don't know.
Tamara Judge
Hooked up as like you made up at our age.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's like, who hooks up and doesn't have sex, right?
Tamara Judge
I don't know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Unless you're like. Well, but is that, you know, she's.
Tamara Judge
Unless you're.
Teddi Mellencamp
Maybe there's like religious things, reasons why you wouldn't have sex. Right? And she's.
Robin
Or maybe she's ex Mormon.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, she is. Okay.
Tamara Judge
All right.
Robin
No, she's a good time girl. She's gonna hook up. She's a good time girl.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay, but still, if he'. But he's denying that, like anything happened.
Robin
Yes, but hasn't he hooked up with.
Teddi Mellencamp
Was he drunk? Maybe he was blacked out and doesn't remember.
Robin
I don't know.
Commercial Announcer
I don't know.
Tamara Judge
Let's all just. Sorry, Captain Jason.
Robin
Yeah, I saw Heather, but last night. I didn't ask her.
Tamara Judge
Why not?
Teddi Mellencamp
Why would she spill those beans? I don't like that.
Robin
I don't like that either.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I don't like that she told that.
Tamara Judge
Well, and then she told it, and then she's like, cut that. Cut that out. Cut it out. Too late, too late. Like, of course they're not gonna cut that.
Teddi Mellencamp
The universe heard it.
Robin
Yeah, producers heard it. Bravo universe heard it. It's happening.
Tamara Judge
Wow. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Robin
So I saw Sandoval.
Tamara Judge
Oh, we saw Sandoval. Tamara, of course, goes, hey, so are you presenting tonight? Me and Teddy and I are. Oh, my God. And he's like, I don't think they're having me present for a long time.
Robin
And I go, you know what you need to do? I go, you need to adopt some children. You need to rescue some dogs. He goes, I. And I'm trying.
Tamara Judge
Oh, my gosh. But we met his new girlfriend.
Teddi Mellencamp
Beautiful.
Tamara Judge
She's beautiful.
Robin
And like, Runway.
Tamara Judge
I'd even be taller than five, eight.
Robin
Oh, she's like six foot.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, she's tall.
Anders Holm
Yeah.
Robin
Oh, she had heels on.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's not 6 foot, but she is.
Robin
She's tall.
Tamara Judge
I mean, we had already. We'd already taken our.
Robin
So here we are in our slippers and our dresses, and she's like, yeah.
Tamara Judge
I was like, I know, right?
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you think Sandoval can make a return to. To the network?
Tamara Judge
Well, I think the fact that he was on Traders and then he was on Special Forces, he's making the rounds. I know, but still, he was on Traders.
Robin
He's here at Bravocon.
Tamara Judge
He's here.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. So would there be a place for him on what? Would it be the Valley?
Tamara Judge
I don't know if it's the Valley because I think the Valley's just gonna go in a different direction is my guess. I don't think. Cause I don't think they're bringing Sheena and all them back to the Valley. Right?
Robin
Sheena who?
Tamara Judge
I know Tamara. And Sheena has.
Teddi Mellencamp
I saw that. All right, so you're probably have a squash the beef tonight. Is she here?
Robin
Oh, God, don't even tell me that. I only saw Brock.
Tamara Judge
Brock traveled a lot. Brock was on my plane here. He traveled alone, but he was by himself. But he kept not following instructions. This isn't shade, but like, they would be like, okay, everybody from Bravo Con, go to check in with your person when you land. And like, he wouldn't, you know, then you'd see him come back at the end and he'd be like, hey, where.
Teddi Mellencamp
Am I supposed to be?
Tamara Judge
I'm like, dude, you just added 45 minutes to your getting to the hotel.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my gosh.
Tamara Judge
But no, she wasn't there.
Robin
I haven't seen her at all.
Tamara Judge
I haven't either. Maybe she's avoiding us like the plague.
Teddi Mellencamp
Interesting.
Robin
Yeah, I don't know.
Commercial Announcer
I.
Tamara Judge
We saw all Southern charm.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay. Is there like a new show? I saw a bunch of people with cowboy hats on today.
Robin
I know McBee Dynasty. Oh, so I have a photo op with Stephen McBee, who's very handsome.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Robin
And it's.
Tamara Judge
How old is he?
Robin
30S, maybe like later. 30s.
Tamara Judge
Very handsome, very good looking.
Teddi Mellencamp
30S.
Tamara Judge
I thought you said that you had like an age. Over and under.
Robin
It's not for me, it's for you.
Tamara Judge
Oh, really?
Robin
Yeah, you asked. I didn't.
Tamara Judge
Is he single?
Robin
I don't know if he's single.
Commercial Announcer
He was single.
Tamara Judge
I haven't ever seen that show. Do we need to watch it?
Robin
Well, I was on. Watch what happens live with her. Yes, on the network.
Commercial Announcer
Two seasons.
Teddi Mellencamp
What? On the network?
Robin
Yes, on Bravo.
Tamara Judge
What?
Robin
So they have a ranch in Missouri.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Robin
And it's all about their. It's kind of like a little Yellowstone.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Tamara Judge
It's a reality version of Yellowstone.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. They need to do better promoting it because I know I have never heard of the show and I'm. They do not promote it with the cowboy hats on.
Tamara Judge
It was like cowboy hats and the booty shorts. Yes, I was like shorts.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, the girl.
Tamara Judge
Did you see the little blonde girl? Yeah, she was very pretty. She was in the bathroom with us.
Robin
Oh, that's probably Steven's girlfriend. I probably. That's probably who that is.
Teddi Mellencamp
Great.
Tamara Judge
So we're making friends with her. Yeah.
Robin
Yeah. Make friends with her.
Tamara Judge
That's so funny.
Robin
Yeah, they don't promote it.
Commercial Announcer
You're right.
Robin
No, I've never heard of it. Because on watch, Heaven's Life is the first time I ever met him or even knew about the show.
Tamara Judge
So we saw them. Who else did you see today?
Commercial Announcer
Theresa.
Tamara Judge
Oh, we saw Theresa. And the last time we saw Theresa, what did we have issues about?
Robin
Last time I saw Theresa is when I blocked her on my phone.
Tamara Judge
You blocked her? Oh, from texting you.
Robin
From texting me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, my gosh. Was she going off on you?
Robin
Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
About something you said on the podcast?
Tamara Judge
Yes. Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
About, like, New Jersey.
Robin
Like, some business about Louie.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, gosh, that's such a hard part of, like, what you all do. Like, you all have to be honest about your opinions on what you're watching, and a lot of times you'll probably offend.
Robin
But we're watching us and we're like.
Tamara Judge
And.
Teddi Mellencamp
Exactly.
Tamara Judge
You're only as good as last week's episode.
Robin
This was, like, biased with me. She's heartless. She goes right after me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. And you don't know, like, the whole story because, you know, the edit kind of changes the context and everything.
Robin
And so a lot of times, you know, even on, you know, a list, celebrities, like, the ones that you love so much on tv, and then you meet them in real life, you're like, they're assholes.
Tamara Judge
But the problem with this is you meet them in real life and then you like them, Right?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Robin
And the ones you have to be.
Tamara Judge
And then I'm like a dog with a tail between my legs. Like, oh, shoot, I really liked you just now.
Teddi Mellencamp
So maybe you just have to find a way to, like, sugarcoat it, you know, you gotta, like.
Tamara Judge
But nobody likes to listen to.
Robin
I'm not very good with that.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. You gotta start with the positive. I can't sugarcoat shit and get to the real and the positive.
Robin
I know you're good about that. You are.
Tamara Judge
Is there anyone you've ever had, like, a Bravocon with that you were just like, I hope I never see this person again?
Teddi Mellencamp
Not really. No. I feel like everyone at bribalcon is, like, lovely for the most part. I mean, there are some people that walk around and they think that they're, like, God's gift.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Robin
They have an entourage.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, Entourage. And, like, don't even, like, acknowledge, you know, say hi to people around them, whatever. Fine. Like, have your. Enjoy your moment. It's fine. But no, there's no one in particular.
Tamara Judge
That I'm like, no one's been rude to you?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Tamara Judge
Was anybody rude to you today?
Commercial Announcer
No.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, me either. And I met some newbies today.
Commercial Announcer
Some who?
Tamara Judge
Some newbies.
Commercial Announcer
Who?
Tamara Judge
Well, I had never met Bose before.
Robin
I haven't met her.
Tamara Judge
So I met her for the first time today. She was super nice, she was super fun. So I met her for the first time. I feel like there was somebody else that I met for the first time today. Cause I didn't know who they were, unfortunately, and I just had to pretend and I was like, this is from a show that I don't watch and we watch everything. So I got all excited when I saw everybody from Southern Charm.
Robin
Yes.
Tamara Judge
I saw some of the girls from Southern Charm.
Robin
I'm like, hey.
Tamara Judge
I'm like, am I fangirling right now?
Teddi Mellencamp
I know it sounds like it.
Robin
Just a little bit.
Tamara Judge
A little bit.
Robin
So when we left BravoCon, we were walking out the door and you know, all the fans are out there and they started chanting, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. I got so teary eyed. I was like, oh, my God, yes. And they were just like, just loving you. And my husband goes, I thought they were saying, eddie, Eddie.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's so funny.
Tamara Judge
He was like, he's like, yeah, popping his collar all excited.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's so funny.
Robin
But that had to.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's like. I love though that that's what BravoCon is all about, really. It's like being up close with the fans that really, really, really just love us unconditionally. You know, we get so much critique.
Robin
Critique, love us too much online.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, yeah, you get too much. You get so much critique online that you kind of think that that's how most of the time that represents everyone. But at BravoCon, the fans are just all so lovely and excited and happy and supportive.
Tamara Judge
I know.
Robin
Now that you're off the show, is social media less toxic to you? Well, yeah, I mean, it's toxic in general.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. Social media is super toxic. But I never really, when I was on the show, you never got really the, like on social media like that.
Robin
But never got somebody asking you to kill yourself like I did last time?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, no, I definitely had that. Telling me to, you know, burn hope I die in a burning house. And like, I mean, we had to. One year, Giselle and I had to like, talk to security, NBC security and have.
Robin
Oh, I had to do.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I had to do that too.
Teddi Mellencamp
And you know, of course there's nothing you can do about cyber bullying, but we were like, this is really bad. To the point where we had to talk to security. We had to go to our local police departments and say, hey, can you just be alert? Like, we've got some people who are really, you know, just saying crazy stuff to us. That's when it's just like, okay, this is too much. It's not okay. So. But the social media part, I don't, I don't go looking for stuff. I do think it's funny when, like, I'll see things like, you know, people will at me or whatever and. And I'm like, why are you guys still talking about me? Like, I'm over here minding my business and you want to like, drag me into something that's happening today. Like, I have nothing to do with anything. So. Yeah, Yeah, I, I really hate that. Social media has kind of changed because.
Tamara Judge
It should be fun.
Robin
These shows, they need to change the laws of social media. There should be zero tolerance. People that say they're gonna kill you or go kill yourself or anything like that. Zero tolerance.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Robin
Yeah, that's how I feel.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's horrible.
Commercial Announcer
Yeah.
Robin
But thank you so much. I know. I want you to go tonight.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I don't know what I'm wearing, so.
Tamara Judge
So you have, I'm sure you. How many extra outfits did you bring?
Teddi Mellencamp
Like one, but not appropriate for tonight. Tonight. So what is tonight is like, you.
Robin
Know, addresses where it's like, I know.
Tamara Judge
And I didn't like, you're going to.
Teddi Mellencamp
An award show type almost.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I didn't.
Robin
Well, I gave you more of my blog dress.
Teddi Mellencamp
They won't notice I'm not there.
Tamara Judge
I will, I will, I will.
Robin
When we get on stage or go.
Tamara Judge
Robin, where are you? But we'll give you guys updates on the Bravos next week when we're podcasting. We're back at home podcasting, broadcasting, podcasting. Well, thanks guys for tuning in and we'll keep you updated on anything else that happens while we're here. Yay. Thanks. Thanks, ladies.

My favorite thing about Shipt since I signed up for target circle360 no price markups when I order same day delivery from tons of local stores. Only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count. I won't lie, I've had too much fun being like markups on groceries, not in my fridge. Markups on pet food, not for my dog. Markups on tools, electronics, home goods, meds. Not in my house. Anyway. It's awesome. Order now@shipt.com 360trees apply. This is Anders Holm from this Is Important. This Is Important is presented by Heineken 00. So here's the thing. Anytime I'm holding the Heineken 00, people instantly want to know the reason. They start guessing Dry January, taking a break. And honestly, most of the time there isn't a reason you can enjoy a Heineken 00 just because you want to. For me, it's just a great tasting alcohol free option that fits whatever moment I'm in. No explanation required. Zero alcohol, great taste. Now you can available at your local Heineken retailer or for delivery@heineken.com must be 21 or older to purchase. Enjoy Heineken responsibly.

Host: iHeartPodcasts
Release Date: November 15, 2025
This episode is a fun, behind-the-scenes recap of the hosts’ experience at BravoCon 2025, recorded live from Las Vegas. Teddi Mellencamp, Tamra Judge, and guest Robin catch up after a busy day of BravoCon events, sharing unfiltered impressions of Bravolebrities they mingled with, the chaos and excitement of the fan experience, social media toxicity, and the unique camaraderie that unites Real Housewives (and their fans) at Bravo’s biggest weekend of the year.
On Bravoleb Rumors and ‘Hooking Up’:
On BravoCon’s Energy:
On the Dark Side of Fame:
On the Podcasting Tightrope:
The tone is playful, candid, and filled with the inside jokes and frankness that fans of the podcast love. Teddi and Tamra keep it real about the highs and lows of being a Housewife in the Bravo spotlight, blending lighthearted fashion woes with unfiltered takes on castmate gossip, fan adoration, and the very real impact of toxic social media commentary. Their natural chemistry and openness make for a compelling — and distinctly Bravo — listen.
