Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Chaos and Energy of BravoCon

• Alexis welcomes Alex Baskin, jokingly comparing his presence to meeting the "President of the United States."
• Alex describes BravoCon as “chaos”—but also a rewarding experience:

  "It takes an army to make [these shows]… you really get a sense of how much they mean to the audience when you’re in a setting like this." (04:52)

• The event is a whirlwind of running into staff, fans, and cast members—a circus that Alex is both proud of and happy to step away from for the interview.

2. Navigating Relationships with Bravo Celebrities

• Alexis teases Alex about potential conflicts with Bravo stars at the convention, pressing him for dish:

  Alex Baskin: "I only have conflict with the people who aren’t here… But no, I’d just say I’m fine with everyone here." (05:39)

• He maintains diplomacy, emphasizing the importance of being “diplomatic” in his role (06:06).

3. Authenticity and Drama: The Lie Detector Test Storyline

• The episode explores the notorious lie detector test used on a recent season:

  Alex: "It was authentic in the sense that it was a real company and they gave the test. Obviously, it’s not admissible in court… It was Emily’s idea to do the lie detector test in the first place." (06:43)

• Alexis shares her own TV experience with lie detectors, highlighting that only a few companies will do this on camera and the pressure it puts on participants.

4. Fairness, Entertainment, and the Human Side of Reality TV

• Both acknowledge the show’s purpose:

  Alexis: "We are not performing brain surgery, people. We are here to entertain America and to make people laugh and to give a little bit of fun and lighten up life a little bit." (08:54)

• Alex expresses sympathy for cast member Katie who was under group scrutiny and faced the lie detector, reminding listeners it's “not a court of law” (08:32).

5. The Future of Cast & Upcoming Reunion

• Alexis pushes Alex on whether Katie will return:

  Alex (on Katie’s future): "The real answer is we’re figuring out what we’re doing...We just did casting, so we’re taking a look at that and we’re having all the conversations that we need to have as we figure out what to do in what is a really big season. It’s season 20." (09:27)

• The reunion episodes are still airing, with the promise that the next installment will be “really explosive.”

6. Inside the Life of a Bravo Producer

• Alexis probes about the stress and volume of communication Alex gets from Housewives—especially in the thick of a season:

  Alex: "It’s a lot in a given day…Sometimes I get calls that...wanna take hours and I just don’t have the time… I have to keep a schedule." (10:31)

• Alexis praises Alex's punctuality and schedule management, noting he’s the most punctual person she’s ever worked with (10:53).

7. The Busy Life Mindset

• They relate over thriving in high-pressure, fast-paced environments:

  Alex: "There isn't any downtime, so it's ongoing. But that's the life I chose to lead." (17:46)
  "Whenever I have a moment of quiet and I have time to get all of the work done that I've been waiting to do, I almost panic." (18:15)

• Both agree that being overwhelmed with activity is oddly energizing, and those used to chaos are often the most productive.

8. Personal Life & Work-Life Balance

• Alexis asks about Alex’s personal life. He’s single, with a packed social and professional calendar:

  "I have plenty of friends... Otherwise single, but honestly, never lonely and never wanting for anything to do. My life requires a... there’s a social component to the job." (19:09)

• He admits to being “overstimulated” by the end of the day and likely has undiagnosed ADD/ADHD.

  • A spinoff of The Valley: “The Valley, Persian style” featuring original Shahs of Sunset stars with a new group (21:00)
  • A new Jeff Lewis series: “Still Flipping Out” (working title) (21:16)
• He’s missing the Beverly Hills panel to do the interview—an admission that delights Alexis.

Two T's in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

Hi, it's Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[Tamara Judge]

Welcome back to Two T's in a Pod, live from BravoCon in Las Vegas.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

It's such a fun, busy weekend, and we want to make sure you get as many episodes as possible. So we have a special guest co host for you.

[Tamara Judge]

Alexis Bellino is here. Take it away, Alexis.

[Alexis Bellino]

Alex Baskin just admitted he doesn't like the tables turned. Oh, honey. I'm like, you have no idea what's up in my sleeve right now. All right, we are here. Oh, my gosh. I feel like I have the President of the United States in front of me, but now I have Alex Baskin. Yeah. Everybody say hi.

[Alex Baskin]

It's good to see you.

[Alexis Bellino]

It's good to see you, too.

[Alex Baskin]

I was very happy to sit down with you, but now I'm kind of having second thoughts. Was this a good idea?

[Alexis Bellino]

Well, you can run, but there's like, six people blocking the door, so you can try.

[Alex Baskin]

All right, I guess I'm stuck.

[Alexis Bellino]

Here we are. You're stuck. Okay, so first of all, my first question is, you're super busy, so thank you for taking time out to sit down with me for a few minutes. But what is it like when you come to a BravoCon and you have hundreds of your people that work for you here? Like, what is it like to run into each of them and juggle?

[Alex Baskin]

Yeah, I mean, it's chaos. First of all, I'm really proud of the shows and obviously takes an army to make them. And, you know, you really get a sense of how much the shows mean to the audience when you're in a setting like this. So all of that is very cool. But you're pulled from one place to another, and that's why I was really Glad that you asked me to come here, because getting out of the carnival feels really good too.

[Alexis Bellino]

You did say that. Guys, when he walked in. I'll give you a little behind the scenes. When he walked in, we were all like, oh, my gosh, we can't believe you're here and you have time for us. And Alex's response was, it feels good. I'm happy to get away so he can breathe. Even though he's about to get grilled, he's happy. Okay, so who is it? Do you have any strife with anyone right now when you're here with any of the Bravo labs?

[Alex Baskin]

I only have conflict with the people who aren't here. So there's a few of those, but.

[Alexis Bellino]

Can you give us the dish?

[Alex Baskin]

But no. I mean, I would just say I'm fine with everyone here.

[Alexis Bellino]

Yeah.

[Alex Baskin]

And so it's mostly just nice to run into people, but, yeah, it's also nice not to see a few people too. Right.

[Alexis Bellino]

Okay. He's trying. Guys, I'm just letting you know he's trying to dance around that question so we'll move on to the next one. He's trying. He's giving the very political answer. It's okay. We like that. Honey, we have to do that here, too.

[Alex Baskin]

Have to be diplomatic or.

[Alexis Bellino]

Diplomatic. That's the word. Yes, that's Alexiasm. See, diplomatic is what I meant. Okay, so let's. Let me ask a little bit about this season, since I am an Orange county housewife. Ex housewife. But this season was very juicy. So my number one question. Well, I just wanted to kind of get your. Pick your brain on this, But I dove in a lot to research on lie detector tests. So I just want to know, like, what is your feeling about how authentic or real that lie detector test that you put on all of those women really was?

[Alex Baskin]

Well, I mean, it was authentic in the sense that it was a real company and they gave the test. Obviously, it's not admissible in court, and so I think that everybody should take it as seriously as they should. It was Emily's idea to do the lie detector test in the first place. And then the behind the scenes of it is we needed to find a lie detector test company that actually would do the show. So I think that it's been pointed out by a lot of the audience that you've seen that company in other shows. And, you know, again, clearly they're willing to show up on camera. But more than anything, it's just fun for the show. And again, it was Emily's idea And it sort of carried forward the story of this season.

[Alexis Bellino]

I love everything you just said, because, you know, when I was on Marriage Boot Camp, we had a lie detector test company also. And I think it was. Somebody said, it's the. There's only a few. Andy Cohen said, there's only a few companies that will actually do that on a national television show. So ours was not the same. The Marriage Boot Camp was not the same company. I had to Google that, because then I went back to marriage boot camp 2018. Is it the same company that did URLs? It is not, by the way. But it is important for everyone to understand that not everybody wants to put themselves in front of a camera in national television. So I do get that. I just felt a little bit like I felt bad for Katie, for instance, because there's no way one person's gonna fail every single question or, you know, or someone's gonna get every single question right. It's just. I don't see how that could be possible unless you're super, super stressed. Maybe she was so caught up in her own, you know, fears of doing the lie detector that she just was gonna fail all of it. And then they also say the only people that can pass all of the questions are sociopaths. So.

[Alex Baskin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Alexis Bellino]

Something to think about right there.

[Alex Baskin]

What do you mean, Alexis? No, I feel bad for also. And it's also difficult to be in a situation where you have essentially the entire group on one side and you're explaining yourself on the other, and then you're subject to a lie detector test. So obviously, that was not a positive experience for her, and I felt for her. And again, this is not a court of law, so.

[Alexis Bellino]

Exactly. That's a really important point for everyone to understand, is that. And I say this analogy all the time on every podcast I do. It's like, we are not performing brain surgery, people. We are here to entertain America and to make people laugh and to give a little bit of fun and lighten up life a little bit. So I do think that. And so what do you feel like? Everyone wants to know. I know you're not gonna tell me. Cause you don't even know, but I'm just gonna ask. Everyone's going, you know, Katie's definitely not gone for good. What is she? Or are you gonna give another diplomatic answer?

[Alex Baskin]

Well, the real answer is we're figuring out what we're doing, and I genuinely mean that. We have not made any decisions we needed to get through the reunion. And not all of reunion has Aired. So part two just aired. Part three, which is really explosive, is next week, obviously, so just wait for that. And we just did casting, so we're taking a look at that and we're having all the conversations that we need to have as we figure out what to do in what is a really big season. It's season 20.

[Tamara Judge]

Right.

[Alex Baskin]

So a lot of considerations surrounding that. So we have our work cut out for us for sure.

[Alexis Bellino]

Oh my gosh. Yeah. I do not want to be in your shoes. I would. I honestly, I don't. Could never be in your shoes. Could never deal with this many women all the time. Like, hello. Okay, okay, tell me about that. How many texts. How many texts do you get from women being. I was gonna go a different direction, but now I have to say this. How many texts a day do you get from women when you're in the middle of a season of them just like coming at you? Cause I remember when I last season 18, hello. I'm the prime example.

[Alex Baskin]

No, it can be. It's a lot in a given day. And I think the other thing is there's a lot of work to do and sometimes I get calls that are. Wanna take hours and I just don't have the time. And I'm like, this is really great. I would love to talk to you all day. But I have like, that's not true.

[Alexis Bellino]

You do not want to sit and talk to them all day.

[Alex Baskin]

Well, that's true. Okay, so I don't. Yes. Right. That's hooked me up a lot. No. Yeah.

[Alexis Bellino]

No, it's like, okay, look, the clock ticking. And I might. By the way, everybody, I need every. I need every listener to know this. Because you don't know this about Alex. He is the most punctual person I've ever met in my entire life. I've never had so many phone calls or meetings set up with him where it's like, it's 12 o', clock, but I get the call at 11:59 and 34 seconds. I'm like, it's not even 12 yet. But he is super punctual and I love it. You know what I'm learning from you?

[Alex Baskin]

Honestly, I have to keep a schedule. Then even on my way here, I texted Spencer. Cause I felt that I was like, I'm running four minutes late.

[Alexis Bellino]

Do you know how happy I was to get that text?

[Alex Baskin]

Well, he was like, take your time.

[Alexis Bellino]

I think I was 10 minutes late getting back up here and I still got caught up with everything. But that is just so. That is hysterical.

[Alex Baskin]

You Gotta keep it moving, you know.

[Tamara Judge]

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.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

That's what happened with my quints order. Everything's so soft and well made. I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.

[Tamara Judge]

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.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

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.

[Tamara Judge]

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.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

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.

[Tamara Judge]

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. Slate. Find gifts so good you'll want to keep them with quince.

[Ebay Sponsor]

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 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.

[Alexis Bellino]

I mean, will you. You honestly have, like, one of the toughest jobs. And I kind of compare you to. I mean, I can't compare you to Ryan Seacrest, but I'm kind of like that because I feel like you've got so many hats that you have to do, you know, like, it's not just, oh, I'm producing this show right now, and then you have a crisis on another show that you have to deal with, and then you have a crisis client like, Or a cast member like me. And then it's like, I mean, I just. I get exhausted thinking about you.

[Alex Baskin]

Well, there isn't any downtime, so it's ongoing. But that's the life I chose to lead. And I'm also fortunate that there's enough business to keep me busy. Right. I mean, the alternative is really scary. When you're not making any shows or you're dependent on one show and you want to give each show its love and its due. So every show has to be the most important. And so it's a lot of juggling.

[Alexis Bellino]

Yeah. But I think the alternative is also boring.

[Alex Baskin]

It is like.

[Alexis Bellino]

Like, I don't wanna wake up in the morning and not be packed.

[Alex Baskin]

You know, I say it all the time. Like, whenever I have a moment of quiet and I have time to get all of the work done that I've been waiting to do, I almost panic. I don't know what to do with myself. So I'm really used to the action. It's exciting.

[Alexis Bellino]

That is so true. And I've noticed in my older age. Cause maybe it's because I'm 48, but now. But it's like the busier I am, the more I get done in a day. And I know there's that saying that says, if you want something done, ask the busiest person. You know, I've noticed that if I have a slower day, it's almost like I really just want to put on my sweats and watch a show. I don't want a housewife show. Okay. But it's like, yeah, so. So I think being busy, you are the epitome of knocking out 25 hours in a 24 hour day. I think that for sure. But let me ask you another question that just dawned on me. So you were talking a minute, about. A minute ago about how busy you are. Do you have any personal. Like, do you have anyone in your life?

[Alex Baskin]

No, I mean, I don't. I have plenty of friends. I have an active social life. Otherwise single, but honestly, never lonely and never wanting for anything to do. And also my life requires a. There's a social component to the job.

[Alexis Bellino]

And so you're so done talking by the end of the day, I'm sure you go home and you're like, I do not want to talk to one more person.

[Alex Baskin]

I don't want to talk to anyone. Right. I mean, it's the thing and stuff when someone asks you how was your day? And like, I don't have time to answer that. I don't want to answer that. So that's a stressful question. But, yeah, no, I mean, I. I am overstimulated by my job, that's for sure.

[Alexis Bellino]

Are you add?

[Alex Baskin]

Probably. Probably. Yeah, I would imagine so.

[Teddy Mellencamp]

I think so.

[Alexis Bellino]

I think we all.

[Alex Baskin]

Yeah, I.

[Alexis Bellino]

So am. I couldn't. My makeup artist today, I was sitting there in the chair and he's like, can you just sit down and don't move? And I'm like, but I got to get this. And then my phone rang and then this. And he's like, just sit down. And I'm working. I did a podcast. I did a podcast while he's doing my hair. Like, I'm sorry.

[Alex Baskin]

27 things at once.

[Alexis Bellino]

Sorry. Add ADHD. Didn't they say that almost every president that they've ever done this statistic on has that Every president of the United States, because of the fact that they have to be able to multi. They have to be able to multitask. Is that. Am I. Somebody, please, please. Some viewer let me know or listener let me know if I'm right about that. But I did hear that somewhere, and I think it's true. I don't see there's any other way that you can run a country without having it.

[Alex Baskin]

No, I mean, yeah, that's right. That's the order today. If you're trying to do a million things at once, then your attention has to be everywhere.

[Alexis Bellino]

Okay, so where are you headed? I think that. I know you gotta get going, but I think the viewer or the listeners probably wanna know, what are you going to now? Like, you have to go back and just be at the Bravo cons or where are you headed right now?

[Alex Baskin]

So I have it was a great morning. So, couple exciting announcements. We dropped the super tease for spinoff of the Valley. The Valley, Persian style.

[Alexis Bellino]

Stop it.

[Alex Baskin]

With the Shahs of Sunset in a new group.

[Alexis Bellino]

Saw them last night. Ran into them. I'm so excited.

[Alexis Bellino]

[Alex Baskin]

All.

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat, everybody. Showing that school pride a game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Ashegan fans, school colors every everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
