T's in a pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Brittany Cartwright
Hi guys. Welcome to another episode of two T's in a Pod with myself, Teddi Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Teddi Mellencamp
The teas are back, baby.
Brittany Cartwright
You wanted to say bitches, but then.
Teddi Mellencamp
I want to say bitches.
Brittany Cartwright
I have a question. What's your favorite curse word? Because I was talking about this with someone. I mean, granted, the person I was talking about it with was 80 and she. Her word really cracked me up.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, it depends. Is it like, directed towards somebody or is it when I stub my toe? Stub my toe is mine's my life.
Brittany Cartwright
Oh, yeah. My life is just on a daily basis. And if anything annoys me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, I mean, I love a good off.
Brittany Cartwright
You're a. Yeah. Do you say C u n T?
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I have. Yeah. I have to be really, really, really mad. And I definitely have. It's not one that I like to say.
Brittany Cartwright
Okay, so we are gonna talk about this episode. Which did you like it or not?
Teddi Mellencamp
I liked it. I mean, it was heavy on Jax, who bugs the living shit out of me.
Brittany Cartwright
Well, know what? I thought it was heavy on the news reports, on the weather. I don't need to know how hot it is in the damn valley, you guys. I'm going to.
Teddi Mellencamp
Every time they walk into a scene, they're like, oh, it's hot out there.
Brittany Cartwright
Like, we know It's a balmy 190, 109 degrees in the valley in the summertime. Like, we don't need you to tell us. We don't need the reasons why you're sweating. We don't need the reasons why your face is red. It's hot.
Teddi Mellencamp
We get it. We get it. Would you join the Valley?
Brittany Cartwright
Would I join the Valley?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Brittany Cartwright
I mean, I. I do a lot for money, so I Mean, it's hard to say, but I don't do a lot for money.
Teddi Mellencamp
You wouldn't show the kitty?
Brittany Cartwright
I. I wouldn't show the kitty. She's too cute to just be thrown around.
Teddi Mellencamp
Don't let her get abused like that.
Brittany Cartwright
I'm not gonna. I don't want her to get a beaten. Wow. Yikes. Well, it starts out where Brittany and Jasmine are over at Janet and Jason's house. Um, sometimes I wonder repeatedly what Jasmine. And what's the dude's name with the hair?
Teddi Mellencamp
Zach.
Brittany Cartwright
Zach what? The fact that I can't remember Zach's name and he's in a lot of scenes. Like, I really wonder what they're doing on the show.
Teddi Mellencamp
By the way, when I was writing my notes, I said, the gay guy with the wig. I couldn't remember his name.
Brittany Cartwright
It's so bad. Like, I don't understand it, but they're there. They're trying to have a. An egg dish. Janet feels like she was talking to a crazy person the night before, AKA Kristen, when trying to apologize for what she said on the podcast. She starts to cry when she remembers what Zach said about her pregnancy. And then Jasmine saw that Janet unblocked Zach on Instagram. But then Janet claims she didn't even realize. See, this is where Janet loses me. Just say you unblocked him to be nosy and move on.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, exactly. So Jasmine says that casseroles are a white person thing, and she's kind of grossed out about that. So what are your thoughts on casseroles and crock pot stuff and things like that?
Brittany Cartwright
I love a crock pot, but a casserole? Wasn't casserole a thing on Orange County? Orange County? Like, you didn't even bring me a casserole. I didn't tell you. I'm not going to bring anyone a casserole ever.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, your next food that's going to be delivered to your house for me is going to be casseroles and crock pot stuff.
Brittany Cartwright
Please do not do a casserole. I will be furious because, what? They're like a casserole reheated and what.
Teddi Mellencamp
The hell is a casserole anyways? This shit. You throw in a pot and cook it all together, like, I don't know.
Brittany Cartwright
But if there's mushrooms in the casserole, I'm for sure out.
Teddi Mellencamp
You should send Vicki a casserole since she bought you a coloring book of herself. My daughter hates casseroles and crock pots or anything like that.
Brittany Cartwright
Like, oh, but I don't know how to make anything in a crock pot.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, you could throw anything you can.
Brittany Cartwright
Anything.
Teddi Mellencamp
You can throw a small cat in there, it comes out. Right, Right.
Brittany Cartwright
Okay, so I. Maybe I'm going to start to learn about a touch of cast. I mean, crock pot action, but casseroles and casseroles when it's hot. No, thank you.
Teddi Mellencamp
A little, too. I used to make a little tuna casserole when I was married and the kids were little.
Brittany Cartwright
My mom used to make a tuna casserole too, which.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, you know what? Baked ziti is really good for the kids. Like, you just make spaghetti, like, with the ziti, like the round noodles, and put it. Put it in the dish and then sprinkle it with cheese and bake it.
Brittany Cartwright
Also, that green bean casserole I loved.
Teddi Mellencamp
See, we like casseroles.
Brittany Cartwright
We just don't like egg casseroles.
Teddi Mellencamp
Are we just confirming that two white girls love casseroles?
Brittany Cartwright
We're just confirming that we're wt.
Teddi Mellencamp
White trash @ its finest, baby.
Brittany Cartwright
You know what? I want that tuna casserole that you make the next time I come over.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay?
Brittany Cartwright
Then Kristen visits Jax sans casserole. Kristen. Kristen sees the chair that Jax broke during his fit of rage against Britney. He tries to tell her he isn't justifying his outrage as he keeps trying to justify it. Kristen calls him out on it. And then Jax complains how miserable he feels and how no one is checking up on him like they are with Britney.
Kristen Doute
Hello?
Brittany Cartwright
Kristen is there.
Teddi Mellencamp
Kristen's there. Kristen is the cast member that bounces from cast member to cast member, trying to knock some sense into them. And guess what, Jax, it is your turn right now.
Brittany Cartwright
But then, Chris, she just left Jesse.
Teddi Mellencamp
Now she's with you, baby.
Brittany Cartwright
Well, then Kristen's been completely with Britney when Jax has called her ugly fat, but Jack denies ever calling her fat. I'm sorry. I believe Britney on this one. I don't think that Jack says anything when he's allegedly in a coke raid.
Teddi Mellencamp
He said when. When she says that about him calling her fat, his wife fat. His response was, I love girls that look like her.
Brittany Cartwright
But then I could go back and look at some of the alleged affairs he's. Well, I guess it's not affairs anymore, but the alleged girls he's been hooking up with since. Remember when there was the one whose dad.
Teddi Mellencamp
The one with the giant tits that they flashed on the screen? Wasn't that. Wasn't there one that they put on the screen? The girl like big, giant boobies and.
Brittany Cartwright
Maybe he likes Big tits. And he cannot lie. But when Kristen is the voice of reason, you know, it's time for Jax to take out a mirror.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Brittany Cartwright
Like this.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, there's a lot that Jax needs to take out a mirror. Like, not being allowed to be alone with his son is pretty. Pretty big deal. And he's like, later on when he's like, I'm just going to rehab for my son, dude.
Brittany Cartwright
We're gonna get into some of the things that were said in front of the sun that really made me uncomfortable later on. But then first we get to Zach visiting Brittany at a rental home. Oh, Something we need to clear up in regards to Jesse staying in the house. Remember, we talked about this last week and we kind of went into him because we're like, why is this happening? The reason why that happened was Michelle had already moved into another place. She wanted to be in another place.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, that's how bad she want. I did the same thing.
Brittany Cartwright
But also his daughter. I'm not having. You know, Jesse's back, even though he's my friend. You guys are going to say it, but I'm assuming he's about to be a really huge dick. Even though I thought Michelle took the dick award for this episode, but both episodes. Yeah, but he. His daughter really wanted to stay in that home, allegedly. So that's why he stayed there. And Michelle moved out. But Michelle had already moved out because Michelle was already in a relationship with somebody else. Yeah, allegedly. We don't know if it was Aaron or somebody else. But also, what about when the kids said I love you to Aaron? I didn't see that really, when the daughter did. Okay. But anyway.
Teddi Mellencamp
Ouch.
Brittany Cartwright
Zach visits Britney. Apparently, Jax texted her and asked that she check up on him every once in a while. Of course, he brought up the picture she sent to Julian again. Britney confirmed it was a picture of her boobs that she sent. Well, nobody thought you were sending pictures of your vagina. Do people do that? That?
Teddi Mellencamp
Not me. I don't.
Brittany Cartwright
I don't even want to say wax. I don't even want to see it. And what position are you doing? I mean, I do think that, like, sometimes the pictures where you hold this and you also hold your prize, those are okay, but you're not really showing anything. You're just showing your bod. I'm a kind of okay with those.
Teddi Mellencamp
It depends on what my bod looks at the moment.
Brittany Cartwright
Yeah, I'm currently not sending those pics to anyone. Then Zach compares Janet to Jack, saying she's just as manipulative as him. I don't know that I would go that far. But then Zach starts to cry because he feels like Janet has been driving a wedge between him and Britney's friendship. I want to start doing a cry test. How many times Zach cries an episode because he cries about that. And then he also cries about Benji, which I needed a jump scare. Before they panned to Benji's FaceTime videos.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was like, whoa, am I the only person that doesn't care about Zach's relationship or his wig?
Brittany Cartwright
I don't care.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is that an actual wig?
Brittany Cartwright
No. He does the front blow dry. He does the Jimmy Neutron, but it's not Jimmy Neutron.
Teddi Mellencamp
He's got Jeff Lewis hair.
Brittany Cartwright
Hold on now. I got. I haven't seen Jeff Lewis in long enough that I know what his hair is.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, everybody accuses him of having a wig because his hair is so thick and dense.
Brittany Cartwright
Well, I can't even believe that anybody would have a wig. This is. My hair is growing at a rapid pace.
Teddi Mellencamp
It really is.
Brittany Cartwright
And look at this body. Tap the link, because this is just, you know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, please, please, I beg you.
Brittany Cartwright
Hello, darlings. Pack your suitcase for a new season of the Hulu original reality series Band a Pump Villa.

Brittany Cartwright
Zach's upset about the potential deportation to Canada for Benji. Anyway, I don't care. I do care about this. Michelle visits Jesse at his house.
Teddi Mellencamp
This is so uncomfortable.
Brittany Cartwright
Jesse's changed the custody schedule. I can't say this is really fucking annoying, the custody schedule thing. Like, sometimes times when there's trips involved, I want to be one of those people that's just like, okay, sure, if you're going on a trip or you.
Teddi Mellencamp
Need this, like, there's always one bitter in a divorce. And they're like, no, I. It is my time. Even if they're, you know, I mean, like, I was always like, do what's best for the kids. The kids want to go. Let them go if they don't.
Brittany Cartwright
Like, you want to go to Hawaii and take the kids. Why would I say no? Or if I'm going to be out of town. And the options are the kids are with a nanny or the kids are with you. Just say yes, and let's effortlessly make the change. But the way they're doing it, it appears that Michelle is the one always.
Teddi Mellencamp
Saying, now that's what it sounds like.
Brittany Cartwright
But Michelle portrayed him as an absentee father. And Jesse admits it's been a huge struggle trying to balance his work life, personal life, and being a single dad.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I felt bad for Jesse at this time. And then Michelle giving Jesse shit for crying is so cold and annoying. It's like, come on. And she's like, you just do this to make me look bad.
Brittany Cartwright
She hates him with a burning fucking passion.
Teddi Mellencamp
What did he do to her? Do you think that maybe he's not as innocent as it's.
Brittany Cartwright
I think when he gets drunk, my guess is he verbally says terrible things to her, is my guess, and she's just holding on to that. But I think if he had ever cheated or done anything else, I think we would have already known that by now. I don't think she'd be holding on to that, but I think, you know, Jesse claims he's 99, sure that Michelle. Michelle cheated on him twice. And then Michelle tells Jesse that his new girlfriend talks about him behind his back, telling Sheena she's sleeping with other guys as well. Jesse decides to call Sheena, who tells him that this information Is correct. Allegedly. Jesse's girlfriend is sleeping with the guy from Baywatch. We already talked about this. Whether she's sleeping with the guy from Baywatch or not. I think this was just Sheena's gateway back into the show.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, 100%.
Brittany Cartwright
And what guys, she was like, God.
Teddi Mellencamp
Damn you, Alex Baskin. This is my gateway back in talking shit.
Brittany Cartwright
This great. Now I got to talk shit. Can you google which guys from Baywatch live in Orange County? I mean, clearly she'll come to Los Angeles.
Teddi Mellencamp
Jeremy Jackson.
Brittany Cartwright
He lives in Orange County. There is.
Teddi Mellencamp
He did.
Brittany Cartwright
Hold on, Lacey, I'm just going to say this.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm going to.
Brittany Cartwright
The person that you hooked up with is Jeremy Jackson. I'm revved by the way, guys.
Teddi Mellencamp
We tried to get her on the pod just for 10 minutes just to hear your her side. She's not interested in doing that. She feels like it would be, you know, make things worse. She's worried about the kids. She's still dating Jesse and she, she's.
Brittany Cartwright
Not about the spotlight. I think that shows the difference. Michelle is about the spotlight, even though she has zero to give.
Teddi Mellencamp
Like, oh my God, could you imagine filming a reality show where you're divorcing Edwin but you guys hate each other and, and you have to like go to his house and talk to him like, no, I wouldn't want to do that.
Brittany Cartwright
I could easily do that extra. I want to film the Divorce Chronicles because I think it's the highs and lows is frickin craziness.
Teddi Mellencamp
But well, you know what I didn't like is Michelle swore on her daughter's life she didn't cheat on him.
Brittany Cartwright
Anytime anybody swears on people's lives, they're lying.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, that's not true. I think why?
Brittany Cartwright
Because you've said it before.
Teddi Mellencamp
I've said it before, but I think for sure when you are like, oh my God, I did not do that. And then there's people that, you know, just lie and be like, yeah, I, I, I swear to God on my.
Brittany Cartwright
Child'S life, I, I think I said I swear. I've, I've said any time that I've said, like I really swear, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think that I'm like fudging the truth.
Teddi Mellencamp
Whereas for me it's like it's something, it's not a good thing to do. But I don't say anybody's life.
Brittany Cartwright
I swear on people. I don't think I'm not going to say enough. 100% certainty, but I don't think I've sweared on anyone's life. But if I'm being honest, I think I'm just very like, I'm not discussing this. This is clearly what happened. And. But if I feel the need to start grasping, that's where I think I personally, that's what I'm going to do.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. But I thought it was quite interesting that Michelle yells at him, then tells him his girlfriend's cheating on him, and then tries to be nice to him. That's whole passive aggressive situation right there.
Brittany Cartwright
But then also not agreeing to SW the days, just. And I. I feel like I'm a monotone human. Michelle takes me out.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, she wins.
Brittany Cartwright
Like, she. You know what? I like to win. But like this.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, you don't want to win this one.
Brittany Cartwright
This one. Now she's like, jesse, can I have a. He's like, do you want water? And she's like, sure. And he's like, sparkling. And she's like, I guess so. Yes. Thank you.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's so monetized.
Brittany Cartwright
I can't. Then Danny and Jason visit Jax at his house for an intervention. This didn't feel like an intervention to me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, I think those were Jax's words. He's like, oh, this feels like an intervention. I think the guys were just there to be like, you're a dick. Yeah, you need. You need help.
Brittany Cartwright
Jack says his father and grandfather both struggled with anger issues, and his sister says mental illness runs in their family. So to break the cycle and not allow Cruz to fall into the same trap, Jax has decided to seek help at a mental health clinic. The clinic is $30,000, which, you know.
Teddi Mellencamp
Thousand dollars a day. Thousand dollars a day.
Brittany Cartwright
You know what? I would probably need $1,000 a day to try to get Jax and handled.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you think. Yeah. Do you think that Jax would be doing this if he wasn't filming a television show?
Brittany Cartwright
I don't know about that, but all I could think about while watching this is why Jack is packing all of his stuff into a bag that it doesn't fit and why he's packing dirty clothes into it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because when we do the packing scenes, I'm sure you share packing scenes, right? You just. I one time Heather watched the show and she's like, do you really pack with the hangers? And I go, no, I just open the suitcase and just shove things in and take it. Because the packing scenes are so annoying. Just pay attention, people. When you see the packing scenes, you see people putting the clothes into the suitcases. Those are not the clothes they see.
Brittany Cartwright
If it matches What?
Teddi Mellencamp
They matches.
Brittany Cartwright
But also, we already know what you wear every time Jax. It's Jax's sweatshirt from the bar. But can you wear.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's like Eddie with.
Brittany Cartwright
Can you go to. Yeah, but Eddie works out. Like, is there something wrong with, like, going to rehab and wearing a bar sweatshirt?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, there is something wrong with that, now that you mention it. Yeah. But he also said that his dad would be turning over in his grave if he knew he was going to a mental health clinic. I'm like, really?
Brittany Cartwright
I don't think so.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't think so either.
Brittany Cartwright
Maybe turning over in his grave in a positive way, like, phew, this is happening. Then Brittany goes to lunch with Janet and Michelle. Brittany tells them she accidentally sent Amazon packages to her old house, and she went to pick them up when Jax wasn't there. She went upstairs to grab some clothes that she may have left, and there was a thong on the bathroom sink. But then why did she bring the thong?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, she took a picture of it. She.
Brittany Cartwright
What was the white thing on the table?
Teddi Mellencamp
That was the thong.
Brittany Cartwright
That's what I'm saying. She brought the thong.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, she didn't bring it. It was there. It was left there by some.
Brittany Cartwright
No, but when they were at lunch, there was, like, a white thing there, I thought.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, there it was the thong with a wipe. Like a. You know, like a baby wipe or something.
Brittany Cartwright
But then Michelle claims that Jesse's new girlfriend sent her a horrific text where she threatened to sue Michelle. Then Janet met her at Jax's. This is the same woman that said she wanted to send the entire cast cease and desist so they couldn't talk about her then. And Janet and Brittany's confessionals, they make a point to use the word allegedly very strongly.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes, allegedly. Allegedly. Now, I would. I think what happened is there was some drama about her that was circulating through the show, and Jesse told her, and she's like, I don't want my name mentioned in this. And so I think that that's what happened. I don't think that she really wanted to sue anybody. She just didn't want her name. I don't know. I'm just speculating.
Brittany Cartwright
Also, I'm gonna put a little PSA out there. To anyone potentially wanting to date a Bravo lab or a reality person, don't date them. Well, if you don't want your name out there, it's whether you signed up to do the show or not, your name is going to get.
Teddi Mellencamp
She doesn't want her name out there. I know her name. You know her Name. I follow her, allegedly.
Brittany Cartwright
I don't follow her allegedly, but I have met her allegedly, and she's very nice to me, allegedly. I am also just confused on how you send a cease and desist before anything has been done, like on the show.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm going to speculate that it was sent to production. I think that's what I think.
Brittany Cartwright
Okay. Then we're back at Zach's apartment. He's FaceTiming Benji. They throw the idea around of Benji moving to LA or Zach moving to Canada to make the relationship work.
Teddi Mellencamp
Zach ain't going nowhere as long as he's filming the Valley. I mean, he even had a shirt on that says Valley Crew.
Brittany Cartwright
What about his pink on pink shirt? That kind of bugged me too. I don't like that match. Granted, I'm matchy matchy right now, but it's matchy matchy sweatshirt.
Teddi Mellencamp
Me too.
Brittany Cartwright
Yeah. Like, I can't help it if it's a matchy sweatset. I need it. But, like, I don't need matchy matchy pink with pink.
Teddi Mellencamp
Pink and pink and pink. Well, maybe pink says color.
Brittany Cartwright
It's blush and bash.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do we. Do we know? Do we know if that's his real hair? Do we really know that? His real hair?
Brittany Cartwright
I think it's his real hair. I think it's just like if my. Here.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, there you go. Even more forward.
Brittany Cartwright
I'm a combination of Zach and Teresa now. Stop.
Teddi Mellencamp
I need to know. Zach, tell us, is this. Is this really your hair or is it.
Brittany Cartwright
Or coming over Topper.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is it a topper?
Brittany Cartwright
You know what I mean?
Teddi Mellencamp
Wigs are in right now, Zach, so you can be honest.
Brittany Cartwright
We don't mind, but I want to.
Teddi Mellencamp
Get a wig now. After I've seen your. Your Instagram about the wig store, I'm like, oh, my God, I would do anything to just pluck it on my hair.
Brittany Cartwright
And they're sending me a couple more. Some days I'm going to be brunette. Oh, say then Benji jokes about Zach spray tan and Zach's wig. I'm like, that's what I'm saying.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is it a wig or is not a wig? I need to know if Benji has.
Brittany Cartwright
Had sex with him, then he probably. I mean, I'm.
Teddi Mellencamp
It probably. His toupee probably flew off.
Brittany Cartwright
No, I bet he has to take it off. I mean, I wouldn't leave this on if I was going to have sex. You're going to just have to take me with my bald spots all over the joint. I'm not going to be like, watch the Wig. It's very expensive.
Teddi Mellencamp
Don't fuck up my wig.
Brittany Cartwright
Hold on. I gotta utilize this six times in a row before I get it washed, so. Excuse me. But then Brittany brings Cruz over to Jax's house. This entire thing is chaos to me because, yes, Jax is wrong, but they're. They're fighting immediately in front of their.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, at first it was just Jax, and then Brittany was antagonizing him, and I'm like, oh, my God, you guys should not be around each other.
Brittany Cartwright
Yeah, there. There's a playing. There's a playing card taped over the security camera. And why.
Teddi Mellencamp
Why do they have, like, such huge security cameras inside their house? Well, the fact that those up after.
Brittany Cartwright
They split up, maybe if that's illegal, by the way, to have cameras inside of the house and video somebody else. Like, if I were to rent out my house right now and had, like. I have security cameras inside.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, you can't have them inside. I know that from Airbnb.
Brittany Cartwright
But if you live there, you can have security cameras inside your house. I know I have.
Teddi Mellencamp
But I do know a housewife that was caught on a security camera. Ring camera.
Brittany Cartwright
Oh, really?
Teddi Mellencamp
Smoke and a bong.
Brittany Cartwright
We're gonna have to talk about that later. Then Jax gets home and says hi to Cruz and literally scares his child to the point of tear. Like, he, like, runs up to him and the kid's like. And then Brittany tells Jax, he. This. I didn't love Britney. Don't kiss my child on the face. Because he had a random girl over last night that we probably could have left off. I know that we could have probably.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, that just prompted Jax to scream, like, was Julian over last night? And she's like, absolutely not. And I'm like, shut the fuck up and stop yelling at each other. This is the time.
Brittany Cartwright
But also, this happened with Jesse and Michelle as well, where they're talking about the kids seeing other people sleeping over at. At their houses when it's new. Yeah, I'm not big on that.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm not big on it either.
Brittany Cartwright
Like, I'm like. I think that's a little.
Teddi Mellencamp
I waited six months for Eddie to even come over to my house, and then it was probably a year before he spent the night.
Brittany Cartwright
I mean, do you want another.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you want to know the reason why he spent the night?
Brittany Cartwright
Why?
Teddi Mellencamp
Because I threw wine in Gina's face after the event. I said, can you spend the night? Because if I get arrested, I don't want my kids to go to. Into custody. That's.
Brittany Cartwright
That tracks.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.

Brittany Cartwright
And Jax's confessional. He admits to having Paige over at the house, which was breaking the rules he and Brittany set. These are the type of rules, like, you know they're going to be broken, so you might as well just zip it on that.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, yeah, but how about when Jack says to her, I have people watching you. Yeah, like, but also, if Britney wants.
Brittany Cartwright
To hook up with somebody else, just let the girl hook up with somebody else. You've hooked up with half of Los Angeles, allegedly.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. And then he like, throws like, fuel in the fire. He's like, you had her here? And he's like, I was at her house too. Yeah, like, oh, my God, you guys, stop.
Brittany Cartwright
I know. And then all of a sudden, the nanny just magically arrives and the son leaves. And I'm like, oh, how'd the nanny get here? She didn't walk in with them. And then they keep going at it. And this is where. Now it's all of a sudden, production starts getting involved in this conversation because you can tell this is where Britney is going to say cocaine.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes.
Brittany Cartwright
And she said it and she said it. And he took it.
Teddi Mellencamp
He took it.
Brittany Cartwright
At first he was like, this, this can't happen right now. I don't want this to happen.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Brittany Cartwright
And then she said it.
Teddi Mellencamp
She talks about his coke addiction and she. It just came, like, right out of left field.
Brittany Cartwright
And then he did what he always does and immediately throws it back in Brittany's face and says, so you've never done coke? And this is where I think she truly gets him. She goes, yeah, I have, but give me a test right now. And I would pass Would you? And that's where it's like, holy shit. We're in it. We're in it.
Teddi Mellencamp
We're in it deep.
Brittany Cartwright
And it's clear that, you know, he's gaslighting her the same way he did back when they went to. On that trip last year. And he was like, you're drinking too much. And she was like, panic to tell the. I mean, I think they both have partied a lot together, but to try to use that. But this is where she says to him, and I really appreciated it. She was like, listen, if you don't finish, like, I'm fine to support you through this treatment, but if you don't get through the 30 days, I'm filing a restraining order. I'm gonna do full custody.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Brittany Cartwright
And then what was the third one?
Teddi Mellencamp
She's filing for divorce, I don't think.
Brittany Cartwright
And filing for divorce.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Brittany Cartwright
And I think.
Teddi Mellencamp
I hope to God she never goes back to him.
Brittany Cartwright
I hope. I really hope. But then, in the midst of all of this, Jason shows up to take Jax to the facility with an unpacked bag with sneakers falling out. And in his confessional, he says, my name is Jax Taylor, and I'm finally admitting I need help. But you know what? I think we need Zuli on the pod.
Teddi Mellencamp
Who's Zuli? The nanny.
Brittany Cartwright
Yeah, Zulie's the nanny. Because I want to know what really happened in that house. We're missing some.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, let's see the security cameras there. But she. Jack says, I'm doing this for my son because I threw things. And all I could think about. What about the fact that you have. You're addicted to cocaine? Does that. Allegedly. Does that. Does that enter your mind at all?
Brittany Cartwright
Well, I. I feel like cocaine. When he didn't answer back. Test me right now. Because if somebody would have said that to me, I would have been like, well, test me right this minute and I'll prove it to you. But I think it was clear he's actually really ready to go in for treatment. I hope for the sake of their son and for the sake of their relationship that he spends that 30 days in. But have we heard anything about him since he's been out?
Teddi Mellencamp
No, I don't think so. And I. I think part of him did not want to go to.
Brittany Cartwright
Because he didn't want to miss filming.
Teddi Mellencamp
He didn't want miss filming. That's what I thought immediately.
Brittany Cartwright
Me, too. But either way, he goes, we're happy about it. And then we get into some additional things. Know who we didn't really see much of this episode.
Teddi Mellencamp
Who?
Brittany Cartwright
The happy couple. That is, I think, going to get torn to shred soon.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, you're talking about Danny.
Brittany Cartwright
Danny Nia. We didn't see much of them. We saw Danny make a couple comments about Valencia again, but that's it.
Teddi Mellencamp
And they did move, right?
Brittany Cartwright
Did they move?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, that's what I heard.
Brittany Cartwright
This just in through Tamara Judge doing her research. They did move to Santa Clara. And that's smart because they are popping out another child. That's a lot of kids in a two bedroom apartment.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's a lot kids under four. But I feel like she a lot.
Brittany Cartwright
And she's five years old.
Teddi Mellencamp
Could you imagine? I feel like she's the one that wants like six kids or something. She's just so sweet and loving and kind and I'm like, how I had four kids. I have no idea.
Brittany Cartwright
You know, I know I just said this just in and I gave you a compliment, Tamara, but now I'm taking it back because even though on Google it says they moved to Santa Clarito, when you go to their actual post, it just said they're moving because they're having another kid, but it doesn't say where they're moving to.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, I thought it was. I. I thought, I thought I heard it somewhere.
Brittany Cartwright
I know, Me too. But I think that you're gonna be gone for a little bit, so when you get back, we'll recap all the other things. I miss you.
Teddi Mellencamp
I miss you. I love you.
