Speaker 1: Two Teas in a Pod with Teddy Meloncamps and camera Judge. Hi, guys,
Speaker 1: welcome to two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy
Speaker 1: Mellencamp and Tambra Judge. Hey, Teddy, Hi, Hi. We are excited.
Speaker 1: We have to get right to business today because we
Speaker 1: have newbie Rachel Fuda from Real Housewives of New Jersey
Speaker 1: joining us and we can't wait to ask her all
Speaker 1: of the juicy question me, my second New Jersey newbie
Speaker 1: i've met in two days. You know what, You're on
Speaker 1: a Jersey mission. You're really you know what, You're gonna
Speaker 1: take my Teddy Walter's title. And maybe Tamra Tattles. There
Speaker 1: is a Twitter Tamra Tattles. It always used to give
Speaker 1: me the business. I feel like I know everybody thought
Speaker 1: it was me in the very way, like, oh, we
Speaker 1: gotta ask Rachel about her fen stuff, her fin stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hold on, hold on, hold on, way are
Speaker 1: you hi? How are you guys? Were good? How are you? Um?
Speaker 1: You know, trying to stay awake with three kids and
Speaker 1: you know, so job it's a lot. How old is
Speaker 1: your youngest? She just turned one? Yeah? God, you born
Speaker 1: and you had a rock and bod right after she
Speaker 1: was born. Thank you. I appreciate that, but I literally
Speaker 1: cannot take any credit for that. That was just pure stress. Okay,
Speaker 1: So first and foremost, we we are hard on newbies,
Speaker 1: and no, no, no, no, no, no no, don't say we
Speaker 1: Oh are you kidding me? Teddy? I feel like you're
Speaker 1: just hard on people in general. Came at me right
Speaker 1: with a walk. You didn't miss a beat with that.
Speaker 1: I actually and it was actually tam was actually yeah,
Speaker 1: I said, somebody stole your walk, Teddy. It's so fun album.
Speaker 1: Tam Ross says the ship and then somehow it comes
Speaker 1: out through me and it looks like I'm yeah, we
Speaker 1: have we have, we have different assholeisms. Can you tell
Speaker 1: us a little bit about how you originally got on
Speaker 1: the show? How that all started? Right, No, it's through Melissa,
Speaker 1: so I guess technically both. But um, we moved to
Speaker 1: Franklin Lakes and Jayden and Gina were on the same
Speaker 1: football team, and Melissa and Joel had just been building
Speaker 1: their house and they moved back in town and stuff,
Speaker 1: so we met through the kids. But um, frank trains
Speaker 1: Britt and I for a bikini bodybuilding competition. So that's
Speaker 1: how I met Britt and Frank at the gym, So
Speaker 1: that's how I know. Doris. What year did you do
Speaker 1: your finness competition? Oh? My god, A long time ago?
Speaker 1: Like how long ten years ago? Oh I did? When
Speaker 1: like six years ago? Did you? It is the hardest thing,
Speaker 1: I swear. It's mentally so challenging. Forget about like the
Speaker 1: physical stuff, because your body only goes as far as
Speaker 1: your mind pushes it. Right. Yeah. For me, it wasn't
Speaker 1: so much the actual the working out part two three
Speaker 1: hours a day, like I've always worked out, But it
Speaker 1: was the diet. And when I say diet, like you
Speaker 1: eat a lot, you eat a lot and you limit
Speaker 1: I mean I had no carbs at all. Turns it end.
Speaker 1: But that's the hardest part for me. You were filming
Speaker 1: during your competition, right yeah, and no drink that. I
Speaker 1: don't know how the hell you did that. My kids
Speaker 1: were like, mom, please never do that again. Like you
Speaker 1: were so angry all the time. I don't worry one great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the no carbs thing really affects you, like you don't
Speaker 1: realize it, but like you're tired, you're cranky. It's all
Speaker 1: like the horrible things that you don't want to be
Speaker 1: in a person just you become so fast, Rachel. We
Speaker 1: recently had Melissa on the pod and she said that
Speaker 1: she is closest with you from the cast. What do
Speaker 1: you think Do you think that's time or do you
Speaker 1: think you get what do you think the reason is
Speaker 1: for that? So I think there's a couple of different
Speaker 1: things here. John and Joe, my husband John, are super close.
Speaker 1: Like I'll just go downstairs on any given Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: He's drinking espresso with my two and a half year
Speaker 1: old on his lap. They're very, very very close. Um.
Speaker 1: But I also think that like the boys being close,
Speaker 1: like Jayden and Gino, and we also have a lot
Speaker 1: in common, like she is, she's fun, she likes to
Speaker 1: go out just like have a good time. It's about
Speaker 1: the fashion, the hair, the makeup. We just have a
Speaker 1: lot in common. So I just feel like I gravitated
Speaker 1: towards her just so naturally, just you know, forget about
Speaker 1: the show aside, like we just have a lot in common. Um,
Speaker 1: does she also have a fence to or only you?
Speaker 1: I think only me? Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait?
Speaker 1: Do you have a mist? And I need to know
Speaker 1: all about this? Rest in pre piece of Brabo lover one, two, three, four, Okay,
Speaker 1: so okay, I have the log in so I can stalk.
Speaker 1: I deleted it because I'm like this enough, Like you
Speaker 1: just need the fanatics. This in the world of Instagram anymore.
Speaker 1: This is like it's so stupid and so embarrassing, and
Speaker 1: like now I'm just gonna creep a confidence with my
Speaker 1: verified Instagram will check or whatever it is, TikTok, Like
Speaker 1: that's it. So I had an old Instagram page that
Speaker 1: was Rachel Dell, which is like part of my maiden
Speaker 1: last name before I got married, and there was nothing
Speaker 1: on there. I deleted everything. It wasn't following anyone nothing.
Speaker 1: So when things like during the season started happening, I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, why slights, Like keep an eye on what
Speaker 1: everybody's doing. So I changed the name and like just creeped,
Speaker 1: like I swear to god, I never posted a comment.
Speaker 1: I never did anything. But I forgot to untag myself
Speaker 1: from all the damn pictures that I took, so there's
Speaker 1: like pictures of me and no, it's a complete rookie
Speaker 1: move because I clearly I've never had a finstone before.
Speaker 1: So I now I'm like just minding my own business
Speaker 1: and I see this thing. It's like, oh, Rachel, like
Speaker 1: Bravo fan whatever, And I'm like, first of all, there's
Speaker 1: something wrong with being a fan of any show on Bravo.
Speaker 1: But it's like it was almost like it was trying
Speaker 1: to like be weaponized to be used against me. They're
Speaker 1: trying to make you a creepy fan. It's so weird.
Speaker 1: I used it to creep on my castmates and it
Speaker 1: backfired horribly for me. But I'm willing to own it,
Speaker 1: So I guess it's not that embarrassing, right if I
Speaker 1: was denying it. Who specifically do you think you creeped on?
Speaker 1: I mean, you can just use your context clues from
Speaker 1: the season of who I was probably creeping on. But
Speaker 1: to be honest, a lot of these girls have so
Speaker 1: many followers they weren't paying attention to me, probably looking
Speaker 1: at their stories anyway. So okay, so you wanted to
Speaker 1: look at their stories, but you didn't want them to
Speaker 1: know you were looking at their stories? Yeah, like commenting
Speaker 1: comment like me, no, like no, you are so, But
Speaker 1: why couldn't Why couldn't you have done this on your
Speaker 1: regular and stuff? Because I am verified, and I feel
Speaker 1: like when I look at who looks at my stories?
Speaker 1: I scroll and I only pay attention. I can only
Speaker 1: see really the check marks, right, because it's like something
Speaker 1: that sets everybody apart. So I don't these are you?
Speaker 1: These are the girls you don't like on the show
Speaker 1: that you were looking at. They're still like I was,
Speaker 1: you know, just having some problems with I just want
Speaker 1: to see I say it was it was itemless, Like
Speaker 1: I get it. It's like when you break up with
Speaker 1: a guy and then you create in stats to still
Speaker 1: be able to see his page, but he doesn't actually
Speaker 1: know that you you care enough to jail. No, I
Speaker 1: like you use your best friends log in Like same
Speaker 1: same idea here. No, I don't know. I had it.
Speaker 1: I had somebody just sent me a video of somebody
Speaker 1: I don't particularly care for on my cast, and I
Speaker 1: watched the video and I'm like, oh my god, is
Speaker 1: that a story? Am I gonna she gonna know? I'm
Speaker 1: so I get it. I get it. I know it's
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. And then the big scheme
Speaker 1: of things, who gives a shit exactly? Well, that's now
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna creep a confidence. I don't watch everybody,
Speaker 1: But did you have a dog or a flower as
Speaker 1: your profile picture? Nothing? Nothing, there was nothing you should
Speaker 1: put a should put a nose. I should put a nose.
Speaker 1: You're right. I think exactly what I should do if
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lady. Maybe I'm making a bravel over one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four five, and I'll make a nose. Okay, so from it,
Speaker 1: we'll take over the account for you, Teddy will Oh
Speaker 1: my god, oh god, it's the opposite. I throw myself
Speaker 1: under the bus. But my next question is when we
Speaker 1: were talking about the newbies, Tam just met Jim Fessler,
Speaker 1: who she loved um. She was in Orange County with
Speaker 1: her husband. Her reaction was a little bit question right
Speaker 1: there me. Rachel's like, wait, you guys are right, I
Speaker 1: am like the right before she actually knew that you
Speaker 1: were gonna be on she said it to me. She
Speaker 1: told me I was cracking up to her the entire time.
Speaker 1: She's so funny. She is one of the funniest people.
Speaker 1: But she just has like a good heart. She's a
Speaker 1: good soul. She just yeah, like I just love being
Speaker 1: around her. I absolutely we are so stunning, stunning, and
Speaker 1: you and Danielle seemed to be getting along so far.
Speaker 1: Do you think that will last throughout the season? No?
Speaker 1: Does it ever last? I mean, let's see what happens.
Speaker 1: Let's see. I mean we still have, like I think,
Speaker 1: half a season to go. We're half almost halfway through.
Speaker 1: But I will say, I just hope that I can
Speaker 1: get to know her better because I feel like I
Speaker 1: didn't really get to get underneath the surface of really
Speaker 1: who she is as a person. So we'll say, did
Speaker 1: you get to know Jackie any better than what we're seeing?
Speaker 1: Because for us seeing like you know, I'm watching it,
Speaker 1: you know, from a completely different perspective. I'm like, listen,
Speaker 1: I get it. She's in a place where she's probably
Speaker 1: not feeling one hundred percent because she knows she's not
Speaker 1: in the same situation she was years past. But do
Speaker 1: you think she was threatened by you guys, or did
Speaker 1: you treat her differently? Or she I think actually said
Speaker 1: herself that, like she came into this season with you know,
Speaker 1: three new women, and like she felt she did feel
Speaker 1: like we were all trying to take her job. Because essentially,
Speaker 1: I guess we were right. So she's owns that. But
Speaker 1: I did get to know her much better, you know,
Speaker 1: off camera on a more personal level. And I have
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for her. She's battled a lot
Speaker 1: in her life. She's been through a lot. She's very intelligent.
Speaker 1: She's very well spoken. So I did smart, Yeah, very
Speaker 1: very very smart. So some you know, it was very
Speaker 1: nice to get to know her on a more personal level.
Speaker 1: It was unfortunate that that's how we kind of started
Speaker 1: off the season, but it was like whatever, It was
Speaker 1: no big deal to me. I kind of saw it
Speaker 1: for what it was, like you just said, Teddy, So
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to like hold it again, star, like whatever,
Speaker 1: like I'm new here, I'm probably taking your job. And
Speaker 1: so it was Danielle and Jen so whatever. But she's
Speaker 1: shining now and I think that it was a good
Speaker 1: step because now she's focusing on her book and I
Speaker 1: see her all over Instagram promoting her book and she's
Speaker 1: really happy. So I'm happy for her. She has a
Speaker 1: lot of positive things going on right now. In the
Speaker 1: book is a labor of love for her. I mean,
Speaker 1: she wrote every single word in that book, and not
Speaker 1: many people can say that, especially in the housewife world,
Speaker 1: right every ninety percent of them have got out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could never write a book. Camera can't even read.
Speaker 1: We can't even read our headlines half the time, like Teddy,
Speaker 1: what's that big word? We should barely read. When you
Speaker 1: came onto the show and you started filming, were you
Speaker 1: told exactly what your position was on the show? Because
Speaker 1: I've been hearing a lot from movies that they don't
Speaker 1: really they're not told. They're just like, go and we'll
Speaker 1: figure it out as time goes on, figure it out.
Speaker 1: And I think that was like one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things for Yeah, one of the biggest things for me
Speaker 1: to like adjust to is that I didn't really have
Speaker 1: like guidance from production in that sense. It was like
Speaker 1: whatever feels natural to you, like that's what you do.
Speaker 1: But it's there's like a learning curve. It's like any
Speaker 1: new job or you can trying to figure out like
Speaker 1: the dynamics of like who has been striends for a
Speaker 1: long time, who really knows each other? Like how deep
Speaker 1: these relationships go? But there was zero guidance at all.
Speaker 1: Had you ever was like begging, Yeah, have you ever?
Speaker 1: Did you ever film in the past on the show? Now?
Speaker 1: Is a guest at a party or anything? I mean, no, no,
Speaker 1: not on the show. So this is your very first time.
Speaker 1: Yea when um. One of my favorite parts of this season,
Speaker 1: which first I need to ask you how your husband
Speaker 1: is able to maintain a beard, was such a straight part.
Speaker 1: It's like he gets a ruler out I need is
Speaker 1: he sitting there like I gotta get like this like
Speaker 1: a straight edge? How somebody wait, someone called him a
Speaker 1: mustache murderer, and I will never ever mean what does
Speaker 1: that even mean? Like, I guess that's like her beard.
Speaker 1: It's like a it's like a joke in our house
Speaker 1: because he's so goddamn Harry that he just there's no
Speaker 1: maintenance on anything. Like he's just like a Will the Beast,
Speaker 1: Like he's just so Harry. So his beard has like
Speaker 1: different personalities. So it's it's like very time consuming for
Speaker 1: him to stay group. So he puts a lot of effort.
Speaker 1: Like when he gets that line, it's because it took
Speaker 1: him forty five minutes to do it. Periously. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: husband tries, and it's like once up heierre went down
Speaker 1: there he shaves aside from a cybrans to his beard,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? This part like goes
Speaker 1: too low and I'm like, and then the days happened
Speaker 1: where it's like he takes the whole thing off, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, see I like a little
Speaker 1: shadow and Edwin, but I don't need like the full hair.
Speaker 1: But I also don't need like clean baby face. I
Speaker 1: don't want clean baby face me either. I don't want it. No.
Speaker 1: But the part of him other than his beer, that
Speaker 1: I really loved was when you guys were walking out
Speaker 1: and he doubled checked with you, and he goes, are
Speaker 1: you sure you don't want to check her right now?
Speaker 1: And you go, no, I'm good. That's when I officially
Speaker 1: got really excited. There's no door, asshole. There's no door, asshole.
Speaker 1: I don't remember saying that. I just, you know, like
Speaker 1: when you just black out in some of these like situations,
Speaker 1: like you don't even know what you're saying anymore. You
Speaker 1: just it's like whatever's in the brain is on the
Speaker 1: tongue like that. It was that. But John is a
Speaker 1: ride or die and every meaning of that saying like
Speaker 1: without question, he wasn't didn't even see what happened. I
Speaker 1: don't know where he was at that time. He was
Speaker 1: just like he saw me, like he was on his
Speaker 1: fence to watch it was probably creeping. He was like
Speaker 1: up in the bushes with like Jeff besl Jen's husband,
Speaker 1: just drinking, taking shots of whiskey or something, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: let's go, and he had no clue. So that is
Speaker 1: so cohesive with like our relationship. We are like, he
Speaker 1: has my back, no matter what, no matter what. So
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of that's like, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's the conversation they were, no, but like that's that's
Speaker 1: what they're having on camera saying She's saying, I want
Speaker 1: you to have my back regardless, and you and I
Speaker 1: discussed that, Tamera saying, well, I don't know that our
Speaker 1: husbands would have our back regardless. But what Rachel's saying
Speaker 1: right now is he has mine. He didn't even know
Speaker 1: what situation where he was walking into, but he had
Speaker 1: my back. Yeah. But he's not getting he's not getting
Speaker 1: involved though, like noa yeah. But also like on the
Speaker 1: interm of that, like the private conversations are like you know,
Speaker 1: what the hell were you doing? But like like when
Speaker 1: it's in real time, there's no like reflecting. It's like
Speaker 1: he is very reactive in that sense in all aspects
Speaker 1: of his life, so that's so true to who he is.
Speaker 1: But you know, Jen and Bill, they have their things
Speaker 1: they need to figure out. I'm interested to see how
Speaker 1: that unravels in the rest of the season for her
Speaker 1: because I actually don't know, but I hope that they
Speaker 1: can get to a better place because hearing Olivia talk
Speaker 1: about how she wants to be a love therapist was
Speaker 1: absolutely heartbreaking to me, regardless of what conversations took place
Speaker 1: between Jennifer and I. Arguments like, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, we're both mothers and that would absolutely kill me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's clearly affected, which I mean, I thought that that
Speaker 1: you were really um the way that you handled the
Speaker 1: conversation about your son, your stepson and his mom. I
Speaker 1: thought you did it in such a way that you
Speaker 1: still respected your family's privacy, but you kind of gave
Speaker 1: the viewers an idea of you know, that you've been
Speaker 1: in his life forever and that he's been, you know,
Speaker 1: living solely with your husband. And I just think that
Speaker 1: the way you handled it was like that perfect amount
Speaker 1: of sharing without oversharing and hurting other people, right putting
Speaker 1: thank you, yeah, thank you, Because as you guys know,
Speaker 1: there's situations that come up that you know, you can
Speaker 1: say something that deeply affects the people around you, not intentionally.
Speaker 1: But that was something that John and I had spoken
Speaker 1: about that I just I didn't want to There's no
Speaker 1: reason for me to get into it. She's not around,
Speaker 1: She's irrelevant. You know, I raised Jaden to this point
Speaker 1: for the past eight years now, so for me, like
Speaker 1: that's all that really matters because she's not here. So
Speaker 1: like she's not around. So so you didn't hear from
Speaker 1: her after you had said that, whereas I need knock
Speaker 1: on one, I know there's no like reaching out. I've
Speaker 1: done stuff like that. I said something about my ex husband,
Speaker 1: my oldest son's father and I barely said anything, and
Speaker 1: he like rapped me, and I'm like, I didn't really.
Speaker 1: I says you weren't weren't around, you weren't right, and
Speaker 1: that's your truth. And where it gets tricky as like,
Speaker 1: you know, we have this platform, but they necessarily don't
Speaker 1: necessarily have the same opportunity to like speak out. So
Speaker 1: that was also something I took into the consideration. But
Speaker 1: I the relationship I had with his birth mother was
Speaker 1: not a negative one, so I was always very respectful
Speaker 1: of her boundaries. I wanted to keep her in the
Speaker 1: loop at the very, very very beginning, you know, when
Speaker 1: I came into the picture, because I wanted Jayden to
Speaker 1: always feel comfortable to come to me there if the
Speaker 1: day comes that he does want to see her, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm just very realistic about it, Like he might get
Speaker 1: curious one day, and that'll be a bridge across when
Speaker 1: I get to it. Um, But I never wanted to
Speaker 1: create any bad blood with her on his behalf. That's good.
Speaker 1: That'll change his life because at some point he probably
Speaker 1: will see that. I appreciate that. Thank you. Before the
Speaker 1: season started, you did a video that I really loved
Speaker 1: because it's I feel like I would make fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would make fun of myself of you know about
Speaker 1: a situation, get ahead of it. But do you think
Speaker 1: that you started to discuss your nose in that video
Speaker 1: because you wanted to get ahead of what happened, Like
Speaker 1: you didn't want what happened with Jennifer to then happen
Speaker 1: to you. Right, it had already happened at that point,
Speaker 1: and I would just get so many like it's honestly,
Speaker 1: at this point, it's so dead, like the horse is
Speaker 1: dead and bleeding. It's beaten to nothing at this point.
Speaker 1: I know I have a crap nose job. Like I
Speaker 1: don't need Mary Sue in Oklahoma to tell me that
Speaker 1: in my comments every day. So when I did the
Speaker 1: Q and A, it was like some people were saying, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, like your nose, your nose, your nose,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I'll just talk about it because it's
Speaker 1: obviously going to be a thing. I know it was
Speaker 1: spoken out during the season, so I'll just answer it.
Speaker 1: I have no problem talking about it. Does say I
Speaker 1: got my nose done, does it bother you your nose
Speaker 1: for your nose just not bother I just bother me.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate that, but it's it's like
Speaker 1: a personal thing. I when I went in to get
Speaker 1: it done, I said I wanted just like my bump
Speaker 1: gone yea, And I woke up and I had like
Speaker 1: a paper machee nose, and I'm like, I'm not quite
Speaker 1: sure how this translated to taking my bump away, but
Speaker 1: like it is what it is, and getting a nose
Speaker 1: job is a huge pain in the butt and I'm
Speaker 1: just not going to do it again. So it is
Speaker 1: what it is yeah, well you look like a character.
Speaker 1: And I think sharing that that's what you know. You know,
Speaker 1: we all tamer and I are open books when it
Speaker 1: comes to surgeries and what everything that you know pretty much. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the easiest way to handle things
Speaker 1: because the more you try to like cover up and
Speaker 1: push under the rug, like why are you hiding it?
Speaker 1: Just own it, like we all get things done, like
Speaker 1: for what that's my That was always been my advice
Speaker 1: to all new housewives. It will contact me and goes
Speaker 1: you have any advice, I'm like, just be transparent. And
Speaker 1: if you have something that's that's bothering you you're afraid
Speaker 1: to get out, get in front of it because it
Speaker 1: will come out and talk about it and be okay
Speaker 1: with it. Because once you're okay with it and everybody knows,
Speaker 1: they can't go after you about it because you're like, well,
Speaker 1: it's great advice and it's true. What are your thoughts
Speaker 1: on the kind of veterans callum to give history on everybody?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think they're really doing that to
Speaker 1: help to help you or they're doing that to help them?
Speaker 1: I mean the writings on the wall, the writings on
Speaker 1: the wall with that. You guys, you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you can see and form your own opinions, but it's
Speaker 1: just I didn't ask for it. And that's all I'm
Speaker 1: going to say about that. Yeah, that is actually bad advice,
Speaker 1: Like to go into a new cast member and try
Speaker 1: to convince them not to like or to sway them
Speaker 1: and tell their them their experience, like it's just going
Speaker 1: to backfire in their face. Just let me, like, I
Speaker 1: almost feel like, just let me look through it and
Speaker 1: figure it out. And if I make a mistake, I
Speaker 1: make a mistake. Whatever that is, Yeah, because that's what
Speaker 1: that's real life. Sometimes we make mistakes in relationships and
Speaker 1: we think that somebody's a good person and then they're not.
Speaker 1: Is there someone you don't have to say who, but
Speaker 1: is there someone that you think is just beyond toxic
Speaker 1: in this group? Um? Yeah, absolutely, But I think who's kidding?
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the dynamic of our cast right
Speaker 1: now is like things are just weird in New Jersey
Speaker 1: right now, and I really I'm interested to see how
Speaker 1: the reunion goes because there's toxicity and in a few
Speaker 1: different directions. It's not only that it's not coming from
Speaker 1: one person. I think things are so ugly and dirty
Speaker 1: and messy right now that it's like where do we
Speaker 1: go from here? Guys go to the reunion. That's where
Speaker 1: you go, like you, but it's like not abnormal for
Speaker 1: that to be to be like that in most cases,
Speaker 1: like as you air, you watch what other people say
Speaker 1: and other things are going on, and then it becomes
Speaker 1: like a big old shit show. And that's why the
Speaker 1: reunion is so important. I do agree, But there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things that have transpired off camera that we
Speaker 1: will that will be brought out at the reunion that
Speaker 1: I think it'll make a lot more sense to everybody.
Speaker 1: I hate the off camera stuff. I hate it, I know,
Speaker 1: but then well we will find out about it with this.
Speaker 1: That's what happened in Beverly Hills. There's so much off
Speaker 1: camera stuff and I feel like it just ruined it.
Speaker 1: It does. I think it makes it. It makes it spotty,
Speaker 1: like it makes this like the story doesn't there's story? Yeah, right, yes,
Speaker 1: Multiple housewives have been accusing Marge of collecting dirt on everybody.
Speaker 1: Do you think she has dirt on you? Um, I
Speaker 1: don't really know if I have dirt to collect, but
Speaker 1: if if I do, she probably has it. I think
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the time and Margaret is
Speaker 1: like one of those people that you just talk to
Speaker 1: and it just comes out like she's so easy to
Speaker 1: talk to. I don't know, even though necessarily that she
Speaker 1: just collects dirt. I think it's just like regular conversations
Speaker 1: and she just like knows a lot of stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't know if she's going and I love her, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love her. I love her. I think she's a
Speaker 1: great housewife. I don't see her as the one sitting
Speaker 1: behind the scenes going, Okay, who can I call to
Speaker 1: see if I can get information. I think if you've
Speaker 1: been on the show for a long time, people love
Speaker 1: to send you information for sure. It's what you do
Speaker 1: with that information. Even being on just for six episodes,
Speaker 1: people send me stuff. But I'm like, I don't even
Speaker 1: want to know this, Like don't tell me, don't I
Speaker 1: don't want to know, Like ignorance is bliss. But I
Speaker 1: like to go back to your point, Teddy, I don't
Speaker 1: think she's a digger. I think a lot of it
Speaker 1: just is coming to her naturally. She knows a lot
Speaker 1: of people, Like I'm always surprised when she says, oh
Speaker 1: I know someone say I'm like, oh, really, like I
Speaker 1: know them too, Like she knows everyone, that woman. It's crazy, Well,
Speaker 1: who do you think a bigger diggers then Jen or Teresa?
Speaker 1: What do you mean digger like digs in? Because they've said,
Speaker 1: you guys have said or some people said on the
Speaker 1: show that it's actually Teresa feeding information to Jen and
Speaker 1: then Jen's like her workhorse. To be honest, at this point,
Speaker 1: with all the stuff that's going down, I don't really
Speaker 1: even know anymore. They're so like, it's so messy. It's
Speaker 1: so messy. I don't know even what the intentions are.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the point of it is. I
Speaker 1: don't get any event where it's coming from. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's just grown into this monster of like, what
Speaker 1: what are we doing for? What? Why is this happening?
Speaker 1: So I don't really know even how to answer that question.
Speaker 1: I have my own opinion, don't don't answer it my opinion,
Speaker 1: but you don't have to answer. They're trying to get
Speaker 1: one of them off. They're trying to either get Melissa
Speaker 1: or Teresa off, and people are going to push to
Speaker 1: the death until that happens. But I think we need both.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I will don't show without both. I do too.
Speaker 1: I think I need both. But I I think that
Speaker 1: we need some resolution, like we need some and you
Speaker 1: know what, Timmer, I actually think, as as a friend
Speaker 1: of Melissa and Joe's, and John would agree with me,
Speaker 1: I hope for their own stake that they can have
Speaker 1: some type of resolution to all of their problems. It is,
Speaker 1: it's so it's just so sad to watch happen like
Speaker 1: it is Joe and Tarifa. They're the only two in
Speaker 1: their family. So when you really think about it and
Speaker 1: you put yourself in their position, like they have no
Speaker 1: one else, I really do. I hope as their friend,
Speaker 1: they can come to some type of, you know, mutual
Speaker 1: understanding that they're just not on the same page. But like,
Speaker 1: let's just move forward. And I think if one was
Speaker 1: removed from the show, it's only going to make their
Speaker 1: family even farther apart. Oh that'll be I actually agree, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: way worse the nail mcffin. I want. I want to
Speaker 1: see therapy sessions with the families. I actually suggested that
Speaker 1: significant others to not be a part of it for
Speaker 1: a little bit, like just put those two together I
Speaker 1: agree and let them figure it out. To me, it's
Speaker 1: not about Melissa and Teresa. It's really got to be
Speaker 1: about Joe and Teresa because they're the siblings. Melissa or
Speaker 1: Louie can say whatever they want, but at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, if those two don't have a real
Speaker 1: conversation and it's through their spouses, they're never going to
Speaker 1: come to any resolution. I agree. I think they need
Speaker 1: to just the two of them need to sit in
Speaker 1: the room, have a mediator and just put it all
Speaker 1: out on the table, like gloves off. Let's have like
Speaker 1: a deep conversation and get it all out there. I
Speaker 1: actually agree with that. Do you think you could be
Speaker 1: the mediator? I don't think you are right. They need
Speaker 1: like maybe Margaret psychotherapist. No way, Oh my god, could
Speaker 1: you imagine? I actually think Margaret would would be a
Speaker 1: good mediator and other circumstances. Maybe not with Teresa, not
Speaker 1: with us. Yeah, no, I agree. So where do you
Speaker 1: think you like want next season to go? I am
Speaker 1: just I need to make it through the reunion, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I'm not even like at next season.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, how do I even navigate a reunion?
Speaker 1: At this point. So next season, I have no clue.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening with like with casts, who's
Speaker 1: coming back, who's not. Like I got it one step
Speaker 1: at a time, especially with this group, because I swear
Speaker 1: like I said it, Melissa coughs, and like the world
Speaker 1: blows up into flames, like it's like the smallest thing,
Speaker 1: Like things are so sensitive right now that the tiniest
Speaker 1: things that are going on are being blown out of proportion.
Speaker 1: You mean between Melissa and Teresa just in general, like
Speaker 1: the whole cast, Like you know, I said this, and
Speaker 1: it gets blown up. It just all becomes so it's
Speaker 1: become so toxic. So as far as next season is concerned,
Speaker 1: I really have to see, like where my relationships go
Speaker 1: with the cast to figure out what that looks like
Speaker 1: for a next season. Did you have fun during the filming?
Speaker 1: I did. We had a lot of fun together. We
Speaker 1: really did. And that's kind of why it's even more
Speaker 1: sad that we're at where we're at, because we all
Speaker 1: had fun with each other as a group. We were
Speaker 1: big casts this years, I think nine of us. So
Speaker 1: with that being said, we had a blast. I mean,
Speaker 1: Ireland was so much fun. I cannot wait for you
Speaker 1: guys to see that I can shore. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: the shore was a blast, Like we just had a
Speaker 1: great season and then it went like this and it
Speaker 1: hit the fan. And if you were to pick your spot,
Speaker 1: like if you were to guess by how the rest
Speaker 1: of the season goes, this doesn't give anything away other
Speaker 1: than just how juicy it's going to be personally for you.
Speaker 1: Where would you place yourself on the couch? First, second, third,
Speaker 1: fourth spot? I mean, listen, I'm humble. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be like I'm right the first spot, like I got it.
Speaker 1: I'm probably like number three off the off the core,
Speaker 1: one person after you. That's what you're thinking, No, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just assuming in my head it would
Speaker 1: probably be Melissa, Margaret and then me because they're not
Speaker 1: gonna you know, Oh you think Melissa would be in
Speaker 1: front of Margaret. Yeah, closest to Andy? You mean? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: I personally think Teddy started trying to figure it out
Speaker 1: and it's months away. I have my hold on. Let
Speaker 1: me get what is your dress gonna look like? That's
Speaker 1: what I want to know. Are you I don't are
Speaker 1: you going to wear an un we know it hurts.
Speaker 1: Just don't weary in a comfortable dress. You're sitting there
Speaker 1: all day long. Okay, I will definitely take your advice
Speaker 1: on that. Um, I will last question that I have
Speaker 1: and then Tam, I don't know if you have anything else,
Speaker 1: but um, if you could ask one question at the
Speaker 1: reunion that you want an answer to, what is it? Like?
Speaker 1: What is everyone's intentions with all the toxicity? What's the point?
Speaker 1: What's the point besides getting each other off a show
Speaker 1: or try to manipulate casting, Like, what's the point what
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Yeah? Well that's what I want
Speaker 1: to know. That's the hard thing about that question, though,
Speaker 1: is you're making a TV show. That's what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Yead off the show. But also there I believe in
Speaker 1: that Teddy by the way, like we are making a
Speaker 1: TV show, but when it gets to the level that
Speaker 1: it's gotten to, we're not. This is not about TV anymore.
Speaker 1: What it's happening off camera? Yeah, that's their assassination because
Speaker 1: I do happen to agree with you, like obviously, like
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta throw shade, we gotta we have
Speaker 1: to repeat things that we hear, like we're making a show.
Speaker 1: I get it, but it's we've graduated here and it's
Speaker 1: not it's not good. Yeah, yeah, that's sad, I know.
Speaker 1: And I don't think we fully understand because we're not
Speaker 1: in it. So we I mean, we've seen the interviews
Speaker 1: and we do well just part Yeah, I'm sure we will.
Speaker 1: It will make sense. It will make sense. I think
Speaker 1: we can already feel. I mean, there hasn't been a
Speaker 1: setting that hasn't blown up other than on the the
Speaker 1: charity softball thing. But other than that, every scene there's
Speaker 1: been a fight. Oh yeah, and I would say that's
Speaker 1: pretty consistent for the entire season. Do you ever cry
Speaker 1: about your kids? No, I'm not a crier, but although
Speaker 1: I feel like lucky and I'll let me rephrase that,
Speaker 1: I wasn't a crier until I had kids, and then, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just cried. I cried more frequently,
Speaker 1: but now I didn't. How old was your baby when
Speaker 1: you started filming? I want to say seven and a
Speaker 1: half weeks old. Oh my god, Oh my god. That's hard.
Speaker 1: I've never like, I think my daughter was two when
Speaker 1: I started filming. And it was manageable, but it was
Speaker 1: definitely hard because I was used to being a stay
Speaker 1: at home mom. Did you have a job prior to
Speaker 1: that or were you mainly at home with the kids
Speaker 1: And so no, it's like I mean John and I
Speaker 1: was helping him run our business. So I was doing
Speaker 1: that from home where I used to be in the
Speaker 1: office so much. So we're basically a parking management staffing.
Speaker 1: So we've staffed like concierge for apartment buildings. We provide
Speaker 1: um car dealerships with like the staff that does the
Speaker 1: service on your cars. We do valet parking for restaurants
Speaker 1: and hotels, m we have our hands and a few
Speaker 1: different things. Yeah, so I helped John run the company,
Speaker 1: but when I had my two and a half year old,
Speaker 1: I had to you know, work from home and it
Speaker 1: was part time. So it was tough to manage. After
Speaker 1: I had a second baby and I you know, got
Speaker 1: on the show, I'm like what, like what am I doing?
Speaker 1: What am I doing? I was like, you know, not
Speaker 1: even sleeping through the night yet. So in these scenes
Speaker 1: like the um Jen Fessler's brunch in the backyard, like
Speaker 1: at these events, I am so dead and some of
Speaker 1: these events and I'm like I can't even participate in
Speaker 1: this conversation, like I had. I'm like, I'm drink a
Speaker 1: monster a five hour energy this this is my best
Speaker 1: you've got And you're not the mom that has like
Speaker 1: three nannies at home either. No, you don't have like
Speaker 1: the night nurse and that, No, you have to go
Speaker 1: all night long and which I'm like would be no. Wait, Teddy,
Speaker 1: you were pregnant. I was checking it my last season
Speaker 1: and that was no alcohol on that show. Is really
Speaker 1: you want to talk about challenging? That is yeah for me?
Speaker 1: My god, yeah. I mean it's very different to podcast.
Speaker 1: Here was my Alca celtzer and water and talk shit.
Speaker 1: It's a whole different ballgame to be pregnant eight months
Speaker 1: traveling to other countries. But it is would be hard
Speaker 1: because I'm a really emotional and anxious post baby. Did
Speaker 1: you have postpartums? I had extremely bad postpartum anxiety with
Speaker 1: my two and a half year old, like life altering anxiety.
Speaker 1: And then after I had Juliana, my baby baby, I
Speaker 1: had all the same anxiety. But I think that I
Speaker 1: had so much change going on in my life at
Speaker 1: the time that I wasn't reading as like postpartum anxiety.
Speaker 1: It was just like my life is just chaos right now,
Speaker 1: But reflecting back, it was absolutely had to do with
Speaker 1: just having a baby. I mean I was like literally
Speaker 1: in diapers. I think during you know, the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season, I was like still bleeding. I had a
Speaker 1: C section, so I couldn't even like lift my kids yet.
Speaker 1: H God, are you going to any more babies in
Speaker 1: the future? To be honest, we talk about it all
Speaker 1: the time. I have five Embryos'll talk about it on
Speaker 1: the show. Yes, I know. I think you guys like
Speaker 1: ripped me a little bit that you were bored of, like,
Speaker 1: my are we going to have a baby storyline? Did
Speaker 1: you guys know you didn't? I think I think there's
Speaker 1: no This storyline has been on every Housewive show because
Speaker 1: it get back to every woman. Yeah, I have different
Speaker 1: I had if I feel the same, like there is
Speaker 1: a lot of challenging things happening. Until I went on
Speaker 1: the show and openly said I had miscarriages, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize how many women had miscarriages or part of anxiety.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's overwhelming. I think, like, I'm only
Speaker 1: I'll be thirty two next month, so this is a
Speaker 1: very real place for me to be in life. Trying
Speaker 1: to figure out like if we are going to have
Speaker 1: more babies. I just like I don't want to be
Speaker 1: pregnant again, Like I just don't like it's not some time. No,
Speaker 1: I want to be done young, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to be doing this stuff like in ten years. Like
Speaker 1: I just want to like pop my kids out and
Speaker 1: close the shop, like let's finish this. But it's you know,
Speaker 1: I look at my kids and I love them so much.
Speaker 1: It's like why not. Our family definitely doesn't feel complete.
Speaker 1: I will say that I definitely feel something's missing. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have another one? How did that? Kids react
Speaker 1: to filming? So? Obviously Juliana was too small. Jaden, my
Speaker 1: sixteen year old, was so nervous. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: though we filmed. We like our first like family dinner,
Speaker 1: and he did so good and after he's like, mom,
Speaker 1: I was shaking. I'm like you were, and he's like, yes,
Speaker 1: did I do? Okay, I'm like you did great. Hunt
Speaker 1: Like we just like talked, you know, like real life stuff,
Speaker 1: and he's like no, Like I like I need to
Speaker 1: get used to this. So it took him like a
Speaker 1: couple of times, but he didn't It didn't read as
Speaker 1: nervous to me at all whatsoever. But he adjusted pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: He's such a good kid. He's so well spoken. And
Speaker 1: Gigi cracked me up because she loved having people in
Speaker 1: the house, so she would be staring at the camera
Speaker 1: and being like hi, guys, like waving at him because
Speaker 1: they're all so nice, you know, they become like a
Speaker 1: part of your family. I feel like that's a few
Speaker 1: four year olds do They just want to look at
Speaker 1: the camera and touch the camera and point at the camera. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and it's fun, like there's a bunch of people in
Speaker 1: the house and there's lights everywhere, and you know, everyone's
Speaker 1: staring at you. Yeah. And then just what one you know,
Speaker 1: shady question before we go, which we always play, I
Speaker 1: make camera play. She cannot stand it. Um, it's a
Speaker 1: little f Mary. We don't have to say kill. We
Speaker 1: can say never see again. But from the other husbands
Speaker 1: or boyfriends on Jersey, you can't pick your own f
Speaker 1: mary never see again or kill. Oh my god, you guys,
Speaker 1: I'm going to marry Jeff Bessler. Oh we don't even
Speaker 1: know him yet. I know, yeah you did, okay, so Mary, Jeff,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to any of them. I don't
Speaker 1: you have to, okay, just to hand job, hand job
Speaker 1: a hand job? I mean Evan. Oh yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good one. I forgot about even he that's like an
Speaker 1: easy one, right, yeah, okay, to pick the never see
Speaker 1: again or murder Um. I did enjoy all the guys,
Speaker 1: and I have me thinking who what did I want
Speaker 1: to be around? Who did Margaret pick? You didn't make
Speaker 1: her do this? Yeah, so I don't. I don't make
Speaker 1: people do that, did I? I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like to play card until I
Speaker 1: comes out and everyone's gonna be like, oh hell wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, when is OC coming out? Because it's been
Speaker 1: way too long. I wish I knew. I wish I knew.
Speaker 1: I think it's coming close. I feel like it's been forever.
Speaker 1: When do you guys end? You know? Because I feel
Speaker 1: like we're going to come on right when you guys end? No,
Speaker 1: I actually don't know for sure, but I'm assuming, like
Speaker 1: may ish, Yeah, how many episodes do you guys usually do?
Speaker 1: About twelve episodes? Right? Twelve? Thirteen? Well park, well park? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would imagine there was yeah, and there was
Speaker 1: so much to happen this season. I can't imagine that
Speaker 1: there won't be more. Oh, you're probably gonna have a
Speaker 1: three episode for you. Oh we did make Margaret. You
Speaker 1: made Margaret do it, but you did it with housewives
Speaker 1: outside of her franchise house husband. You did it between
Speaker 1: Lenny and someone of that nature. Oh yeah, do you
Speaker 1: watch Miami? Yes, I'm so behind, but I happen to
Speaker 1: love Miami. The reunion last night was so good that
Speaker 1: you guys have to catch up. Don't tell me anything,
Speaker 1: it is so beyond, but I need to just ask
Speaker 1: you in closing, are you team Alexeia or like, are
Speaker 1: you for Alexeia? Are you four? I think she needs
Speaker 1: me up to date to know because it's each week. Well,
Speaker 1: I made it. I'm on, Like, I just watched um, Like,
Speaker 1: what was that party? The engagement party? Nicole's engagement party.
Speaker 1: Oh so you're behind, You're quiet behind? Okay, I'm quite
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call. I think Alexia is a great housewife.
Speaker 1: I think she she's top tier, and I think Nicole's
Speaker 1: great too. I mean, if you're asking me between a
Speaker 1: Lexy Nicole, I definitely I definitely picchnicle me too. We
Speaker 1: love Nicole. Alrighty, thank you so much. You can find
Speaker 1: Rachel on Instagram, um, but follow her actual one. I
Speaker 1: knew you were gonna say that. I knew it. We guys.
Speaker 1: I'm also like, did you know that I'm actually like
Speaker 1: almost TikTok famous? By the way, what what Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start calling yourself an icon and allegend like Tarama
Speaker 1: calls herself. I do not call myself that. Where have
Speaker 1: you ever said that? Oh my god, no, she says,
Speaker 1: I'm iconic. It was no, I did not. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like, oh I'm iconic. It was joking, I know,
Speaker 1: but we pull your tits over there. There's also like
Speaker 1: a little bit of truth to every just kidding about like, well,
Speaker 1: let it was somebody somebody called me an icon or
Speaker 1: we were talking about how people are like queen icon
Speaker 1: legend when they send messages to you. You'll get it,
Speaker 1: but you've taken out of content. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: coming from somebody who's TikTok famous. Now, so tell us
Speaker 1: how you did it. Yes, guys, It's like it's literally
Speaker 1: a crapshoot. It's like, okay, just make a video. And
Speaker 1: maybe you'll get a million views on it. There's no
Speaker 1: method to the madness, at least I don't think. I
Speaker 1: just keep posting and posting and posting, and like if
Speaker 1: you throw you know what at a wall, something will
Speaker 1: eventually stick. And now I'm like, I feel TikTok pressure
Speaker 1: that I now have to create content constantly because that's
Speaker 1: what TikTok is to be relevant. So now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: look up right now. Now, I'm like, hold on, We've
Speaker 1: got a little bit of time here to it's like
Speaker 1: millennial like you know, my son, mom stuff, like more
Speaker 1: personality stuff, because I feel like Instagram is so like
Speaker 1: it's like perfect little squares of like the best moments
Speaker 1: of your life, and I feel like TikTok is a
Speaker 1: little bit more like you could see people's personalities. I
Speaker 1: am following you. I've got that there is a you
Speaker 1: like that one? Bam? I do? Is it a transition?
Speaker 1: Do see? Because I almost bought that dress recently. It's

Speaker 1: waste of money. I know, I know, but we appreciate
Speaker 1: you so much. We love watching you. We can't wait
Speaker 1: for it to get uh, you know, even even juicier,
Speaker 1: even juicier. Do you have any really big fight that

Speaker 1: I stayed true to who I am and my character,
Speaker 1: So I don't regret. I don't regret anything. That's what
Speaker 1: I always say. One that you thought like, maybe I
Speaker 1: could have lived without doing that, or I mean no,
Speaker 1: I didn't really know. No, she's she's like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: TikTok famous. I can say and do whatever I want.
Speaker 1: There's no door, asshole. I love listen. Maybe maybe I
Speaker 1: will feel differently after I see you know, the episodes,
Speaker 1: because I mean I would you right, like you see
Speaker 1: something from somebody else's perspective that you didn't think of
Speaker 1: how they received what you said. So yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I said what I thought and I felt good. We
Speaker 1: can't wait. Makes a good housewife. Well, guys, make sure
