Justin Richmond
This is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like, personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose their do or die Game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human, because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.

This is Jenna ashkowitz and Kevin McHale from and that's what you really missed. Jenna, did you get your delivery?
Kevin McHale
I got my delivery, Kevin. I ripped it open. I'm like a stickler now that I have kids for having high quality products in our house all the time and Deetson Watson has done that. So like I'm not afraid that when Emma wants to eat all my prosciutto, because she will, that it's okay for her to do that. Dietz and Watson has been handcrafting premium meats and artisan cheeses for over 85 years. They're family owned and operated and they never cut corners.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Ever. They do things the right way, even.
Tamra Judge
If it's the hard way.
Kevin McHale
They're transparent about what goes into their food and what doesn't.
Tamra Judge
They know good taste doesn't need a.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Long list of ingredients and they stick.
Kevin McHale
To what matters, using the fewest, highest quality ingredients to craft their meats and cheeses.

Jenna Ushkowitz
Two teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Tamra Judge
Hey, guys. Welcome back to another episode of two T's in a Pod with myself and Dolores. Today we are going to be covering summer house reunion part one. I will say it was good. I thought that the, the, the set was pretty dreamy.
Jenna Ushkowitz
It was very cute. It was.
Tamra Judge
I mean, it's really cute. The situation. The entire cast sits down with Andy at their dreamy, very dreamy reunion set.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I loved it. I did. I first I didn't and then I. And then it grew on me and then I like, loved it.
Tamra Judge
I felt like it was different for sure. It just looked cozy. I just, I kind of wish they were wearing very fancy pajamas.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Oh, that would have been nice. I loved it.
Tamra Judge
You know what I mean? I thought it would be really cute if they did that. I mean, I wish I could wear and I wish I could to every scene. I wish I could wear sweats to watch what happens live. I might have to do that this, this next, this season. So we're into the dreamy reunion set. Looks cool. Sierra is sitting next to Carl. So. So Andy keeps asking if sitting next to each other is a soft launch. Carl, you know, is a dog an animal. Is a dog an animal?
Jenna Ushkowitz
No.
Tamra Judge
Is a shark an animal? So Carl and Sierra now I had the pleasure of talking with Carl a little bit at the up front and I fell in love with him. I really did. Very nice guy. Just very sweet. And she jokingly, carl is the nicest, nicest guy.
Jenna Ushkowitz
He is the kindest, nicest. Listen, he shouldn't have broke up with her with Lindsay on camera.
Tamra Judge
No, he should.
Jenna Ushkowitz
He shouldn't have done that. But he did.
Tamra Judge
But there's a lot of Things Dolores, we shouldn't do on camera, for sure.
Jenna Ushkowitz
But anyway, getting back to that. He is a very kind.
Tamra Judge
He is, yes. Would you change anything about the seating chart?
Jenna Ushkowitz
I'm trying to picture it in my head again. Is Amanda next to Andy?
Tamra Judge
Amanda's next to Andy, which I don't.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I feel like it's by seniority at this point.
Tamra Judge
At this point. Yeah.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Lexi, as a newcomer, did all the work.
Tamra Judge
This and Jesse were the talk of the season. So every single day. Three down.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah. No, I feel like they should have been next to Andy.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. And then the flashbacks of Wes when. From last season reunion. I didn't realize it, but he. Him trying to talk. He looks so nervous. It was his first season and. And then it was hilarious, though.
Jenna Ushkowitz
So these guys are afraid to talk because every time they open their mouth, they get eviscerated by the girls in the house. So they're just inherently afraid to talk because they get in trouble every time they. They do.
Tamra Judge
Do you think they asked Craig to be at the reunion?
Jenna Ushkowitz
I don't know. Don't you think he would?
Tamra Judge
I don't think he would. It's after listening to a Paige had said about their breakup. Well, he was on the show, so I don't know.
Jenna Ushkowitz
For a hot minute.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. I mean, for. For a few years, though, he would come.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Oh, yeah. No, he was on the show, but for the season. We're only going by season.
Tamra Judge
Right, Right. But there's a. There's a history there, and I would have liked to see Craig there, but I don't think that they're. They're. They don't even have a friendship at this point. So Andy asked about the breakup, and he says that when he spoke.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Friends with him either. Let's, like, address that.
Tamra Judge
I know. I know.
Jenna Ushkowitz
He is really not friends with him.
Tamra Judge
But they had, like, kind of a rough friendship this season on the show.
Jenna Ushkowitz
They did.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Jenna Ushkowitz
That's why you're right. I mean, now that you say it, I think you're right. He probably should have been on.
Tamra Judge
Mm. Maybe just like, you know, as long as Emeril was on, like, he was on. He didn't say a whole lot, but just like, give him 10 minutes to talk a little bit about their relationship. But I don't think either one of them are there yet.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Well, it's not like he hasn't had a say because he's had his share on. Watch what happens live to say what he wants another podcast, so he's definitely had his platform to kind of say his story.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, yeah. So Andy says that when he spoke to Craig, Craig was blindsided. So Craig's like, he was told, said he was totally blindsided. He had no, no idea what was going on. He didn't expect this. But from watching the show and hearing Paige say the past year we've been talking about this, there's no way that he was blindsided because they talked about their relationship.
Jenna Ushkowitz
They were. He was in denial. Let's. Let's rephrase it. It's called denial. Not blindsided. So he was hanging on for dear life, which it happens in relationships. They've been together for a long time. He didn't want it. So, you know, as plain as day as it was, the way she was talking to him, like shit. He. I mean, at that point, you just know, like, she's like, oh. As soon as she looked at her schedule and all the dots on her calendar, and she was like, no time for you.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. You know, and her career is just seeing you soon. Booming. Booming. I just started following the giggly squad. They are hilarious together. I did not watch the show. But her co host used to be on the show with her, correct?
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah.
Tamra Judge
I didn't know that. Now I want to go back. And then.
Jenna Ushkowitz
So she became a comedian.
Tamra Judge
She became a comedian. Her career has blown up.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I love Hannah, by the way.
Tamra Judge
She's hilarious. Well, now I want to go to one of their live shows.
Jenna Ushkowitz
It's sold out everywhere, guys.
Tamra Judge
Congratulations to them. That is just absolutely amazing. So Paige did say she experienced concerns with Craig many times during the last year. She also said something along the ways is that she knew when he was not telling the truth.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Oh, wait, she used. That's not which. The word she used. I knew when he was telling me. Is that what it. I want to know what the word was she used because I want to use it.
Tamra Judge
Well, anyway, so she knew when he was fibbing. You know, from watching Southern Charm. Craig has always showing our age by.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Saying the word fibbing. It's like we're like dinosaurs.
Tamra Judge
Craig has always had a strange relationship with the truth. He says he's a storyteller. Well, also known as a fibber.
Jenna Ushkowitz
A tail carrier, My grandmother used to say. So here's the thing. All of a sudden, when you don't want to be with anybody anymore, everything they've always done is a problem. Like when, like, and I've said this before, like when I get a girlfriend or a friend that calls up and goes, oh, I'm just unhappy in my marriage. What happened? Did something happen? Did he do something wrong to you? Yeah, no. He's just smokes too much weed. I'm like, okay, is it the trainer? Is it somebody you work with? Because the guy's been smoking weed since high school and all of a sudden it's a problem. So when you want to get rid of someone, all of a sudden you have to find something. So as soon as I hear some, you know, it's nothing new. It's not another woman. It's not a fight you got in. It's not a change of behavior. Who?
Tamra Judge
Well, I think that. That Paige did do a good job when the breakup happened. She. She said she tried to prevent fans from picking. Yeah, she took it.
Jenna Ushkowitz
She.
Tamra Judge
She got a lot of shit. She got shit for saying that she was a cheater. She kept her mouth shut, girl.
Jenna Ushkowitz
People didn't go after them.
Tamra Judge
I know, but she claims that. That Craig was not going to let her go easy. She decided to make a public statement on her podcast when she heard Craig was on vacation acting single. I do remember seeing those pictures.
Jenna Ushkowitz
When you're done, though, you don't care.
Tamra Judge
I know, but because it is a public breakup, you know, you could end up being the real big douche lord. I don't know how she kept her mouth shut. You know what I mean? Like, she kept her mouth shut. Like when she's being accused of cheating and all these things. Like, she could have been on him.
Jenna Ushkowitz
But Tamara smart. You know, there's been times where you. I don't know if you keep your mouth shut. I know I have. I could have proved someone wrong. That. That they said something about me, like, totally kibosh something. And instead I'm like, you know, I'll just sit and wait for it to go away. The 36 hour period. Yeah, it's like a bad one is 72 hours and then it go. And then it's somebody else. Like, hopefully something else happens, then they're.
Tamra Judge
On to somebody new.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah. Somebody gets arrested and somebody gets caught cheating and then it's over.
Tamra Judge
I'm not good about keeping my mouth shut. I'm getting better, though. I am getting better.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Life is so easy when you can. When you can, you know, wait for the time. Don't blow your load.
Tamra Judge
Right. And I'm learning that through with my therapist. Like, you don't always have to prove you're right. Like, you're going to whatever.
Jenna Ushkowitz
No, it's too much trouble.
Tamra Judge
As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm not wasting money. On pieces I'll only wear once or for just one season. Quince changes that their clothes are timeless, lightweight and far more elevated than anything else. At this price, it finally feels like my wardrobe matches my standards like 100% European linen shorts and dresses from $30 Luxe Swimwear, Italian leather platform sandals, and so much more. The best part? Everything with Quints is half the cost of similar brands. By working directly with top artisans and cutting out the middleman, create Quince gives you luxury without the markup. And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices in premium fabrics and finishes.

Tamra Judge
So Paige still does not believe that Craig bought the engagement ring. He never asked Paige.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I don't believe he did either.
Tamra Judge
I don't think he did either. I think he finally go get.
Jenna Ushkowitz
So then why Nico prove it. Oh no. All of a sudden when it's time to show it he returned it.
Tamra Judge
I mean they already after a year Carl's like you custom made a ring? Trust me, I tried.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Not. Not Kyle. Not Kyle throwing him under the bus too.
Tamra Judge
Well what did he say? He's like, you're going to get 50 cents on the dollar.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah. He's like, he didn't return that shit. He didn't even have that shit.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, I don't believe he had it either. The. The cast has no problem pointing out the flaws in Craig's story, which claims Paige asked for a ring. She's like, asked for a ring.
Jenna Ushkowitz
When Carl said, I know you can't return it. And then Paige said, yeah, Craig bought it. That was funny.
Tamra Judge
She's quick. She is very quick on her feet. And he has a question about west and Sierra's relationship. The flashback of west from last year's reunion was hilarious, you know, and it's like, come on. Come on, Wes, you can do it. You can talk. You can talk. And then he starts talking and I'm like, maybe you should say less because all they do is bleep every word you say because you're cussing so bad. Like, he was rambling, this poor guy. He's like, I am not going to be quiet. This reunion. But he would not shut the up. West assumed that he and Sierra would be more cordial this summer. But he, you know, he apologized to her for acknowledgment, the harm he did with the article, which, you know, Sierra is tough. And we find out why she's so tough and what has happened in her past with her parents, and that makes perfect, you know, sense why she guarded. Really trust. She guard. She's very guarded.
Jenna Ushkowitz
She doesn't trust. Very guarded. And she broke my heart a little bit. I'm not gonna say actually a lot. She's hurt. She has a lot of hurt. And when she's hurt, she gets mad. And I think she let Wes in and then he disappointed her. So, you know, she's not just somebody who just cries to anyone. And I think being that he was somebody that she did go to for that vulnerable part of herself. And then he kind of like, he. He did say, and. And I. He was like, well, you are looking for what you are looking for, I'm not ready for. And I thought the right thing was to do was to separate from this before it kind of got any further. So he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. But that doesn't make it. Then he shouldn't have fucking started. He knew that before he slept with her that that's what she was looking for. So then if you care about this girl and you know her so well.
Tamra Judge
But it also takes time.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Do it.
Tamra Judge
But it also takes time to know that like, you know what? This is the girl that I want to spend, you know, either the rest of my life or, you know, give her a chance. And I think where she got really irritated was, is that she opened up to him. And it doesn't sound like she's a girl that opens up. So she still sits like, my. My. I don't have a relationship with my dad. My mom, you know, has been married several times, and she can't get behind it, and she doesn't want to get to know somebody new again. And she was able to talk to us about that. And then he's like, I'm gonna go talk to the press, and I'm gonna say, peace out. I'm done. You know, And.
Jenna Ushkowitz
And she said, wasn't done right. The whole thing from start to finish was not done right.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, well, her saying, Wes always has something to say in the media.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah. And because he feels safe.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Jenna Ushkowitz
He's afraid to open his mouth up in front of the person. Not everybody is able to talk about their feelings. And Jesse was like that with Lexi the whole season. She was speaking to him as a mature person, even though I think it was too deep a conversation to have with a summer fling. But yet she was articulate, and she was. And he was just sitting there.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Well, not for nothing, you know, your first season on tv, it's very, you know, hard to maneuver through the press. The press will ask you questions, and they'll keep going. And it was his first year, and they were probably, you know, what they wanted to know most was about their relationship. So I don't. I didn't read the story. Maybe I should before I say this, but I'm just saying, hypothetically speaking, they probably, you know, asked him all these questions, he answered them, and, you know, they probably made a headline bigger than what it was.
Jenna Ushkowitz
No idea what.
Tamra Judge
He didn't know what he was doing.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You don't know, like, and you don't know. Even us as seasoned veterans, you never know what's going to get legs and what is.
Tamra Judge
Oh, isn't that the truth? I'm very afraid. Like, I don't like red carpet interviews. I don't like, you know, doing press. I. I'm not that girl. Like, if they're like, you know, publicist Bravo's like, hey, do you want. I'm like, just because you're better off? Well, I just say too much. I just say whatever is on my mind. I say it. And then.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You're not filtered.
Tamra Judge
No, I'm not filtered. You know, a Lot of these, you know, housewives are media trained.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You can predict the weather better than you could predict what's going to get out there and what. What people are going to be interested in and what they're not. Like. You just can't really predict it. So, I mean, I think you do just fine because you're just yourself. You could just.
Tamra Judge
I'm more. I'm more careful now than I was in the past. But. So back to, you know, Andy does call out Sierra because after the first dinner this summer, when they fought, when she fought with Wes, she said she wanted to make out with him afterwards. I mean, I think she still cares.
Jenna Ushkowitz
About him because it's such a rare time for somebody like her. I see a lot of myself in her, so I can explain her very well. It's very rare for her to let somebody close, so it's very hard for her, even when she's mad, to let go of that person. So. So, you know, and also, you know, when you're young and you're her. Even though the per. That's the person that hurt you, you have like, an attraction to them. We all need to. She's working on herself. It's a psychological thing, too. So she said, Wes is like, you shut your phone off for two weeks. Like during Christmas, I wanted to be there. She. I went to Costa Rica by myself. I was on the phone with her when she was there on her way there, and she had said, I'm like, oh, when are you coming back? I go, you're there by yourself? She's like, yeah. And it was in December. I don't know why I called. And she's like, yeah, I'll be back at in like two weeks. And then Paul was in the car and he started to do the math. He goes, christmas and New Year's. She's like, yeah, I just need to get away. So she went there by herself to work on herself. And she said to Wes, I was unraveling. I just needed. And some people come, like, go within themselves when they're going through it. Like people like her, because that's how she's been. Always had to cope. No one coddled her.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. And she said, she goes, like, during the holidays, it's really difficult for me. So I just wanted to go away somewhere where I wasn't reminded of the holidays.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Right. And that takes a lot. She's like, wes, I didn't want you to think you had to invite me. I didn't want anyone to think they had to feel bad enough to invite me, so I left.
Tamra Judge
Have you ever taken a vacation by yourself like that?
Jenna Ushkowitz
No.
Tamra Judge
No. Either have I.
Jenna Ushkowitz
It's not.
Tamra Judge
I don't know that I could. I don't know that I could.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I think I. Oh, I certainly could.
Tamra Judge
Really? I don't know.
Jenna Ushkowitz
What do you think we did at Traders?
Tamra Judge
I don't. I know, but I just think that it would. For me, it'd be difficult. It would be hard. A lot of people do it in a heartbeat.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I think it's a great thing, you know, as long as I had, like, a schedule and followed a schedule, so I wouldn't waste my whole trip on nonsense scrolling through my phone and, you know, right across the world. To not leave my room and scroll through my phone. Like, I would have to make sure that I had a plan where I was going and it was like a retreat. I think that was great for what she did. I love Ciara.
Tamra Judge
Well, Sierra, who's not a big asshole, but she did say something kind of asshole. Move west. Your hair isn't sucking today.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I was like, that's a compliment from Sierra.
Tamra Judge
That is a compliment. And then you got Jesse, who goes.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Sierra, your hair looks so nice.
Tamra Judge
Stop.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Such a dog ass.
Tamra Judge
Stop it.
Jenna Ushkowitz
And wait. I love that Wes cleared up that he didn't say I got first dibs on Sierra because it sounded like they were talking about some hoe at a club.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You know, and Wes says, just for the record, that's not what I said. That isn't what I said. That was this original thing, you know?

Jenna Ushkowitz
I felt bad.
Tamra Judge
He looks very sad. And he was very like. It's.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I have felt bad for Emeril this whole season.
Tamra Judge
You know, he tells a story about his family not being. He got uninvited birthday party because of.
Jenna Ushkowitz
The things it's his own nephew and he's. You know, they did show him as a really good uncle, like playing. Didn't they show him with his family at some point?
Tamra Judge
I don't remember that. But I just know that, you know, his family is probably lives a totally different life than him. And when it comes to their religion.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah. Yeah. They're very strict in their religion. They're very religious people and they said that they didn't want him that. You know what?
Tamra Judge
I don't think we're gonna see Emeril again. He looked great. His suit was sharp. Emerald says he does not go to sex parties often.
Jenna Ushkowitz
He had just gone to one again. It was his first year. He didn't realize saying things they hold against you to your lie into your life.
Tamra Judge
I'm wondering what he did the last half of the season that he was basically cut out of. He really like. Other than his little sex capades that he had. We didn't see him the last four episodes or whatever. It's been barely. Did we see him? He wasn't. I don't. I don't think he's going to be back and I don't think it's great for him to be back because maybe not for him. Yeah, yeah, I did feel bad for the orgy beast. He looked really sad. And then we hear that Lisa Vanderpump is repeatedly butt dialing.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I know. What the hell?
Tamra Judge
I would have loved for him to call and say, what do you want? So Jesse and Lexi are asked about the relationship. Jesse says he was in love in high school, but has not been in love since. And that really, you can see in Lexi's face. She's eye rolling. She's so annoyed. She barely has any clothes on. Like, Andy's like, are you gonna be able to keep that dress on? Her butt crack is showing her belly cut down to her belly button, and she could wear that dress. There's not many girls that could wear that dress. It definitely takes a very tall model. I'd be like, I'd roles hanging out.
Jenna Ushkowitz
And they're all beautiful.
Tamra Judge
Jesse compliments Lexi and justifies his initial interest in her. The weekend Lexi left and Jesse got his toe sucked was brought up. Jesse says he knew they were done having sex, so he walked in and.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You know, didn't know.
Tamra Judge
He didn't know. But let's face it, the guy was wasted. He was hoping to get a little eyeful. He didn't know what was going to happen. You know, like, well, if you get.
Jenna Ushkowitz
An eyeful and you go in, what else is gonna happen going on? You turn around and leave. You don't jump in bed with everyone. And Andy asked the greatest questions. He's like, were they naked? Were they clothed? Was. Did Emeril get back in bed? I mean, how big could the bed be? It's like, not a California king. I don't think so. Like, how big is the bed? And I think Sierra said it's a small bed. So you got two girls and two guys in, like, a full size bed.
Tamra Judge
And Jesse's like 6 foot 3. And so, like, Jesse's like, but the girls were happy to see me. I'm like, really? Then we see Lexi, who's visually, like, uncomfortable and rolling, starts fixing her dress.
Jenna Ushkowitz
And yeah, she's, like, moving. And then, like, she's touching the bottom of her dress. And I like, she gives a shit. Jesse, she's very well played.
Tamra Judge
She is. And Jesse starting to, you know, play Dom. He seems unclear about the series of events that went. And Lexi thought it was sketchy that he lied. She assumed he got a blowjob.
Jenna Ushkowitz
40 minutes. Okay, first of all, he was in there for 40 minutes.
Tamra Judge
I think something happened.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Doing what? So Emerald Emeril guy's guy didn't give him up. Emerald stayed true. He's like, no, it was just toe sock and that's it. Okay. So at their age, they could go like all night. Like it's not just like one and done. It's not.
Tamra Judge
Thank God.
Jenna Ushkowitz
When they get old pumps and a hug. It's like.
Tamra Judge
It's like that.
Jenna Ushkowitz
That's actually Teddy's. I'm not gonna steal. It's. It's Teddy saying that's marriage sex. Yeah. So they're like summer house aged people. So just because, like nobody's staying in there for 40 minutes. So sorry, dude.
Tamra Judge
No, I know something happened. Jesse now admits he crossed a line with Sierra that weekend. Sierra says that the weekend wasn't the worst of it. They kissed two summers ago. Now we see them. I don't know about this kiss two summers ago, but we see them this season. They do a flashback of them kissing. And I was expecting it to be like them making out the way she made it sound. So I think there was another kiss that happen.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You mean she's talking about another?
Tamra Judge
I might be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Wes has asked about his opinion on the Jesse Sierra situation, and he's fine with it. He said Lexi says that weekend is hard to watch back because Paige and Amanda's positive reaction to Sierra.
Jenna Ushkowitz
And she's not wrong.
Tamra Judge
And she's not wrong. And Paige is like, no, sorry, that was not me. Don't spread rumors about me. I don't think Amanda and Paige were being that serious. I think that, you know, Paige, Amanda has a little bit of a history with the rest of them that, that, you know, others don't have. And she's like, yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing them hook up.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Double down.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, let's see it.
Jenna Ushkowitz
She wasn't feeling sorry for it, but, you know, I don't like that because knowing that Jesse and I go back to this and I said it through the reason, knowing that Jesse isn't a great guy, a good friend doesn't say, I want to see you hook up with him.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, it's. It's a little bit.
Jenna Ushkowitz
It's not nice.
Tamra Judge
It's not nice. But I. I'm.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Would you want to see me? Okay. Tamara, no. If I was single and I was going to date a jerk off that you know, I know well enough to know. Say. To know. Say, say to me, no, don't even. Even if it was your friend.
Tamra Judge
Yeah.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Say, no, he's not good today.
Tamra Judge
That's not what you need. No. Nope. But she didn't say date. I think she said, like, hook up. She wanted to hook up. Yeah.
Jenna Ushkowitz
No. You don't tell your friend to do that. I'm sorry. No. Like, unless she's trying to get over something. But not when she's trying to put her life back together because she had the hookup last year. Like, she's getting over a hookup.
Tamra Judge
I'm curious to see where their friendship will go. Now we have Paige single and Sierra single. And those are the two girls that all the guys want. And it's gonna be interesting to see what Jesse and Wes not. They're gonna be like, oh, horny little dogs around them next season.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Oh, they're afraid.
Tamra Judge
You think so?
Jenna Ushkowitz
No, because when it doesn't work out, they get destroyed.
Tamra Judge
Are you saying Jesse learned his lesson and Wes learned his lesson?
Jenna Ushkowitz
I'm saying that there's a lot of girls in the Hamptons that they don't ever see again.
Tamra Judge
But are there? Why don't we see them?
Jenna Ushkowitz
Well, because they don't show their face.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. So the clip of Jesse telling Sierra not to touch him as played. Lexi says she hates how Jesse was trying to cause issues between her and Sierra. Sierra says that Lexi was coming for her with the press tour and was creating a false narrative about the dynamic of her relationship with Jesse. Now they do show a flashback of her press tour, and I think it was the guys. What were the two. What are the guys names? Danny and.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Oh, Danny and Evan.
Tamra Judge
Yes. So Danny, they're the best. They are the best. I forgot your name.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I'm in love with them.
Tamra Judge
So they said, oh, watch out for the reunion. And it wasn't her words. It was their words. So I don't think that Lexi was. She did anything that bad in press.
Jenna Ushkowitz
She didn't.
Tamra Judge
Nuh. Not at all. Sarah and Jesse did come to Lexi's birthday party. So there's a birthday party. They didn't come. So there was a birthday party, and Lexi invited everybody in the group text, and she thought, I don't really want Jesse or Sierra there. But I there.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I didn't feel like she said it. She's like, I didn't feel like making another group tag, but she invited him. Now she's so again.
Tamra Judge
They didn't go and respond. She didn't respond.
Jenna Ushkowitz
She did that. She set them up. She baited them. And now she could say, they didn't come to my party, but they went somewhere else. She knew what she was doing.
Tamra Judge
They were together.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Am I giving her too much credit?
Tamra Judge
No, I don't think you are. I think that we're seeing a totally different Lexi. I think when we started, she started. She was very. Seemed very innocent and naive. And now. Nope, I ain't putting up with this. Lexi blames Jesse for things going south between the three of them. But indirectly, Sarah feels as though she is taking the heat for Lexi.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I have to ask something. Do you think that Lexi is close enough with the girls to come back? Like. Like, I don't. Friends with.
Tamra Judge
Well, good question. I don't know. I mean, I think she should come back because she was a big part of this season and I think next season she's going to be even bolder. I think she's going to have zero Fox next year. She's like, this is my second season. One person who did not say a word was Gabby at the reunion. Didn't say hard. I don't recall her saying anything in this first episode of the reunion. No, she didn't really talk much at all. I would be shocked if she's back.
Jenna Ushkowitz
You never know. Sometimes they. They let it go until the next season to see if they do. Well, it depends.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, but that was it for. For episode one of the reunion.
Jenna Ushkowitz
I'm looking forward to it. It's really good.
Tamra Judge
What is? There's one more, right?
Jenna Ushkowitz
I believe it's two part. Yeah.
Tamra Judge
Yeah, two part. And then I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. A lot of shows ending, but we have Miami.
Jenna Ushkowitz
We have Miami coming up. We still have to finish Atlanta, which is the eternal never ending season.
Tamra Judge
We have about five more episodes of Atlanta, but we got.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Don't Forget, we got Ms. Queen Phaedra coming. Who. It's been said that she does more in two weeks than people did in a whole season. So that's a lot. That's a lot.
Tamra Judge
So we have a lot of new coming up. I know Orange county should be coming out. If it's the same schedule as last year, it should be coming out in the summer very, very shortly, which is too quick of a turnaround for me. I haven't officially heard any dates, so don't quote me on this. I'm just going off last year's.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Yeah, no, and you didn't have your reunion. That either, so.
Tamra Judge
No, no.
Jenna Ushkowitz
Still got that baby coming up. We always look forward to that. So fun.
Tamra Judge
Yeah. Yeah. But guys, thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of Two T's in a Pod. And we will see you tomorrow.
