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.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Plus, Duracell batteries are the only battery.
Tamara Judge
Brand with power boost ingredients, which are a unique blend of nickel and lithium that can only be found in Duracell batteries.

You know how much that warms my heart to see you guys together?
Teddi Mellencamp
I thought I had to do a Jared.
Brittany
I actually do know because we've dmed a little bit.
Tamara Judge
We have talked about it.
Brittany
I know I've had issues.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Brittany
So you. Do you get it?
Tamara Judge
I get it 100%.
Brittany
And now, you know, and until you.
Tamara Judge
I loved your guys scene together.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, are we talking about relationships right.
Now or with kids?
Tamara Judge
With the kids. Yeah. Sorry.
Teddi Mellencamp
I heard the now.
Tamara Judge
This is your first bravocon, right?
Yes.
Yes. Now we're coming off an episode where my heart was breaking for you.
Brittany
Thank you.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was really upset about the throwing the. Even though I was annoyed by the fact that the unicorn came, I was even more annoyed when he went overboard.
Brittany
Oh, that's sweet. Little uni.
Tamara Judge
Little uni.
It was.
Brittany
Yeah. I mean, it was kind of silly.
Tamara Judge
It was kind of silly. But you guys have a lot of costumes on your show, and I'm getting a little over that.
Brittany
No, we don't.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Tamara Judge
Yes, you do.
Teddi Mellencamp
She knows. Okay, hold on.
I need.
Before we even get into talking about it, what was going on?
Did you have.
Was that henna or spray tan?
Brittany
Did you see that?
Tamara Judge
Yes.
Brittany
Those were blood tattoos, you guys. Those were. Those were on theme, but the next day, like, it wouldn't come off. Did you scrub with a knife before? Residual zombie makeup from the night before. Did it look like a big scratch?
Teddi Mellencamp
I thought it was a spray tan.
Tamara Judge
She thought it was a spray tan. I thought it was a henna tattoo.
Brittany
I was just happy to have taken a shower. Like, honestly, I was okay. That it didn't come off. I was just like, whatever.
Teddi Mellencamp
We couldn't tell.
Tamara Judge
But after the Hennessey or whatever it was, the zombie makeup, the zombie blood makeup, we see you literally, like, the aftermath of being on the plane. And I really like that all the girls, most of the girls rallied around you on that.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad was it?
Sponsor/Ad Voice
How bad was it?
Brittany
Oh, you guys, it was. It was probably my third most traumatic thing I've ever been through in my. What did I.
Tamara Judge
Why did.
Brittany
Where was production?
Tamara Judge
You film it?
Teddi Mellencamp
Why didn't you.
Brittany
Camera. You know what? Honestly, that was the last thing on my mind. I had my headphones on, and I was watching Crazy Rich Asians, and I. I just, you know, zoned in, and I was just trying to not hear, and I was trying to lean forward and not have my back hit the seat, and I was just trying to hold it together. Like, the last thing I wanted was any attention on myself. And I was so, so embarrassed that someone kept. You know, the flight attendant kept coming up to ask if I was okay. Because you were crying. Yeah, no, I wasn't crying. I was trying not to cry. I was trying to be, like, stoic and focused and. You know what I mean? Like, I was trying to not let anything break me. But by the last in the descent, when it really started and everyone was seat belted in, so everyone's like, why didn't they switch seats with you? Because it didn't really ramp up in earnest until the last 15, 20 minutes when we were in full descent. You know, it was an international flight. You go really high, and then it takes a while to come down. So there was nothing anybody could do other than scream at it. That was when everybody started screaming at each other because it got really loud, and then they were screaming at Heather.
Teddi Mellencamp
So that's why there wasn't a removal from the plane or anything like that.
Brittany
We were also. Right. So when Meredith says. And I hope I can say, you cannot get in trouble with, like, the details.
Teddi Mellencamp
Details.
Brittany
But, yeah, like, when Meredith says It was only 15 minutes. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
The.
Brittany
The worst part was, you know, the last 20, 30 minutes.
Tamara Judge
Get your hair pulled.
Brittany
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And by who are you leaning to get up to go to the restroom?
Brittany
Possibly.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I.
Brittany
Again, I was in my little bubble, and I couldn't tell you who was what and where. But other people saw it. Yeah, my seatmate saw it. The flight attendant saw it. Heather across the way saw it. Whitney across the.
Tamara Judge
Well, your entire classmate's been.
Brittany
I was Just zoned in, trying to focus and. Please don't cry. Please don't cry. Please don't cry.
Teddi Mellencamp
What are your thoughts on the way that Lisa kind of switched her views? Like, she said originally, she had your.
Tamara Judge
Back to her husband.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Like, she was, like.
It was insane.
Like, while she was eating the nugget.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
She said she was unhinged or something.
Tamara Judge
Like that to her husband. And then when she met with the girls, her story changed a little bit.
Brittany
Oh, man. I think that she's just trying to be a really good friend to Meredith, which I can. I can respect. But at the same time, she definitely has drawn a line in the sand, sadly. And I'm not on her side of the line.
Tamara Judge
Was Meredith put on pause for a little bit after that happened?
Brittany
You know, I don't think I can speak to that.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, but.
Teddi Mellencamp
So, yes.
Brittany
Look at my eyes.
Tamara Judge
Yeah, I Look at your eyes.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah, yeah.
Tamara Judge
Cause there was a lot of talk on social media about her being put on pause because something happened. I know when she did do a scene, it was a few days after that event, and she met with Mary. The look on her, she was just, like, smiling like nothing ever happened. It was a very weird, awkward scene.
Teddi Mellencamp
But she had to have that scene with Mary.
Cause Mary was the only one that.
I think could have actually gotten her to listen a little bit.
Do you agree?
Brittany
Mary is very. Ooh. I mean, Mary's kind of like the salt of the group. Like the salt of the group.
Tamara Judge
Mary's not a liar.
Brittany
She's not a liar. She is who she is. Probably on and off, cameras up, cameras down more than any of us, believe it or not. And so I think you're right, Teddy. That was exactly who needed to meet with Meredith.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
There was no other.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Because she's scared of Mary.
I didn't. I'm Meredith.
Tamara Judge
I mean, Meredith looked nervous about meeting with Mary.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Brittany
Interesting take.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yeah.
Tamara Judge
That's how I took it.
Brittany
It was hard to watch it, you guys. It was hard to watch it back. Like, I had to watch it in pieces. I just pause and then, like, go have a little cry because it was. It was really traumatic.
Tamara Judge
Are you in a better place with Mered is now.
Teddi Mellencamp
Have you seen her here?
Brittany
No, I haven't.
Teddi Mellencamp
I saw when I was walking in, and either she didn't recognize me or she was trying to avoid me because I. We're walking through, and I was like, shoot. Oh, well, either she did Bronwyn.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Oh, really?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. She was coming in as I was coming out.
Brittany
Oh, interesting. And I did a little of what, the suite? The hospitality suite, or checking in.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, like when we were.
Tamara Judge
I haven't seen anybody. Well, no one.
Teddi Mellencamp
That was awkward enough for me to not have to see anyone again. Oh, shoot.
Brittany
Oh, no.
Tamara Judge

Teddi Mellencamp

Brittany
I've tried to. And I've tried to watch, like, to prepare for this. And I just. Between, like, my job and my kids and like, everything I have going on, I have a hard time watching TV at all.
Tamara Judge
Are you still with Jared?
Teddi Mellencamp

I just can't speak.
Brittany
Water to be thrown on me at any second.
Tamara Judge
You can't quit him. Do you want us to throw water on you? Maybe not.
Teddi Mellencamp
I hated that. It doesn't work.
Brittany
It doesn't work because I thought a fun tick tock idea would be like. Everywhere I go at BravoCon, everyone's got a little thing of water and everyone.
Tamara Judge
Just throws water on me.
Brittany
Wouldn't that be funny?
Teddi Mellencamp
You took it so well.
Brittany

Brittany
No, she did.
Teddi Mellencamp
To me hooking up. There's a. There's a younger person in this room. To me, hooking up is just kissing. What is hooking up to you?
Tamara Judge
Boning.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, it is. It's boning down.
Brittany
Depends on your age. But for Heather's age, I think. Having sex.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes. Thank you. Yes.
Tamara Judge
If you're looking up and you're 40 to 50, you are slipping it in.

I plead the fifth.
Brittany
My daughter is sitting right there.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know, but she already told us.
Brittany
We may have had a non committal makeout or two.
Tamara Judge
Let's talk about that.
Brittany
Have you heard of Nick mo? That's a Utah term. What is this ncmo? Non committal, non committ make out?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, but we know so many. We know about soaking.

Teddi Mellencamp
We know about bed jumping.
Tamara Judge
Yes.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is that true?
Brittany
Yes. Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
So bed jumping is one person lays flat and then another person jumps on the bed so that then you have friction and movement.
Brittany
Yes, it's true.
Tamara Judge
But are you naked?
Teddi Mellencamp
One of the people are.
Brittany
Presumably.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
So.
Tamara Judge
I don't get it.
Teddi Mellencamp
So, like, I'm naked laying on a bed.
Tamara Judge
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Then a man gets on top of me.
Brittany
Naked is maybe.
Teddi Mellencamp
And he may or may not be Sorry.
Tamara Judge
Hard.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then I have Brittany jump on that same bed.
Tamara Judge
It's a threesome.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, she's jumping on it.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
Okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
So that the bed goes like this.
Sponsor/Ad Voice
So.
Tamara Judge
But I'm not. Actually, it's just a tip. But I slipped. No, but I don't get this.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's because I'm not making that effort to pump.
Brittany
You know, Teddy, you know an awful lot about this. Because she practiced details.
Teddi Mellencamp
Listen, I pretty much be lds.
Brittany
You're what they call dry Mormon, maybe.
Tamara Judge

Brittany
Dry jumping is perfectly acceptable. Like that?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, that's totally fine.
Brittany
But it's not even. No one even cares about that.
Tamara Judge
So. Is soaking okay?
Brittany
No, soaking is not okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
Soaking with a bed jump, you'd get.
Brittany
Seriously reprimanded for that. It's a loophole.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's.
Brittany
It's a loophole.
Teddi Mellencamp
No pun intended.
Tamara Judge
Jumping on the bed is no pun intended.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's.
Brittany
Yes. Yeah. For all intents and purposes, yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay. 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.

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

Then there's the denim that goes with everything.
Tamara Judge
Silk tops and skirts for when you.

Need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually keep you warm.

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.

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, even 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.

He says he does, but I honestly am too kind of traumatized. I'm a little triggered to even venture that direction until. Yeah, until I feel safer, I would say.

So this is how uni happened. We were on a date and we were having a great time. Dinner, walking through the mall. Cause we were gonna get like I don't know, shopping for something. And we passed by Build a Bear and he.
Tamara Judge
That's from Build A Bear. It has to be.
Brittany
He says, yeah. He walked by Bill and he goes, oh, I already. I gave these to my kids for, you know, once a year, every year. And I record a little message. And I'm like, oh, that's so cute. And he's like, you never had a Build A Bear? And I'm like, no. So he's like, get in here. So he took me inside. We picked out a Build A Bear. He calls me his unicorn because of the hot crazy matrix. Did you guys see that video, the Hot Crazy Matrix?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Brittany
Where it's like, the hotter you are, the crazier you must be and the more men will put up with it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Makes sense.
Brittany
Called the hot. Okay, okay. So the hot but low crazy area of the spectrum is called the unicorn. It doesn't exist. Right, Because. So he calls me his unicorn because I'm hot and not crazy. Ultimate combo. So we picked out the unicorn, which is neutral. Cause I'm crazy.
Teddi Mellencamp
As are we.
Brittany
Lighten up, Francis. Just kidding. So then he recorded that, you know, good night, baby, you are loved. And. And then we were on a 30 day break. But then he showed up right before I went to pack for, you know, for Kanawan and slipped it into my suitcase and I opened it up and there was unicorn that he made for me a month earlier. It was really. It was really sweet. It wasn't meant to be. Like, oh, I sleep with, you know, animals at night and birds are chirping and. You know what I mean?

He took me to Donnie's show about a year ago in Vegas, which was amazing. So talented. We hung out afterwards in his green room, his dressing room. So nice. How cool is that? And Marie I met at his uncle's wedding. So one of the main Osmond brothers passed away last year.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, gosh.
Brittany
Which is sad. He's the first to go. And that's where I met Marie. She's. She's darling as well.
Tamara Judge
How do they feel about him being on the show?
Brittany
Oh, I think they hate it.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was gonna say they can't possibly.
Brittany
Like, there's no way they. Yeah, I really do think they hate it. I think it's like their worst nightmare, to be honest.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you think since being a part of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
They've been hard on you, Harder on you than other people.
Brittany
Who?
Teddi Mellencamp
The girls.
Brittany
Do you think that they're so what? Reframe the question.
Teddi Mellencamp
So the. So since being on Salt Lake City, do you think the girls have been harder on you than they've been on other newbies in the past?
Brittany
Oh, I don't know. That's a really good question. What do you guys think?
Tamara Judge
Yes.
Brittany
Yes. Do you think so? And I don't if that's the case.

Teddi Mellencamp
I've been harder on you.
Tamara Judge
We've been harder on you as well. We have a little bit. I feel like this episode that just happened was exactly what we needed for you.
Brittany
Really?
Tamara Judge
Because I feel like the girls finally rallied around you.
Brittany
That's true.
Tamara Judge
It showed a more sensitive side to you and the girls were more sympathetic towards you. And I felt like we needed that. I mean, obviously you didn't need it in the way that it happened. Yeah, but we, we needed the fans needed that.

Episode Date: November 14, 2025
Hosts: Teddi Mellencamp & Tamra Judge
Guest: Britani Bateman
Podcast: Two Ts In A Pod (iHeartPodcasts)
This episode dives into the behind-the-scenes chaos and stories from BravoCon 2025, focusing on guest Britani Bateman's experiences both on and off-screen, particularly with her fellow Real Housewives of Salt Lake City castmates. Teddi, Tamra, and Britani offer candid insights into critical recent episodes, Bravo fandom, viral "hook up" lingo, and Britani's personal life—including her relationship with Jared and her unexpected link to the famed Osmond family. The tone is fun, unfiltered, and very "housewives"—mixing real emotion with signature humor.
Fun, vulnerable, irreverent, and self-aware, this episode is a must-listen for Bravo fans who want to see the candid (sometimes painful, but often hilarious) realities behind the drama. Teddi and Tamra strike the balance between light-hearted pod banter and real talk about relationships, group dynamics, and life in the Bravo limelight.
Britani’s transparency and humor—especially about her Utah upbringing, "non-committal" relationships, and handling cast drama—make for both cathartic and comical moments. The episode is sprinkled with behind-the-scenes tidbits (especially for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City), much-needed empathy, and the reminder that beneath all the BravoCon spectacle, the women are still seeking connection and understanding.
