[00:02] Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge.

Speaker 2:
[00:09] Hi, guys.

Speaker 3:
[00:10] Welcome to another episode of Two Ts In A Pod with myself, Teddi Mellencamp, and Dolores Catania. We are excited to be recapping The Valley Season 3, Episode 4 recap. And when I say I'm excited, it means that I'm excited to now feel like I have posed part of depression again.

Speaker 2:
[00:30] I feel for her.

Speaker 3:
[00:32] It's all of them. I've morphed into, I have posed part of now.

Speaker 2:
[00:37] Four under four. Who does this to themselves? Like it's craziness. Like I get it. I get it all. I understand it's a hard time. And they're going through it older. Like that's hard enough in your 20s.

Speaker 3:
[00:52] Yeah, no. So it starts out, Danny's trying to relieve Nia of her breastfeeding duties. So he puts on a bro, like a bro, like a fake bra that has a hole in it, and then tries to feed the baby, the baby milk through the hole, and then he puts a picture of her face on his face. One, the scariest thing is, I think I've seen somebody do this before.

Speaker 2:
[01:17] I've seen no, there's been a few. There's been a few.

Speaker 3:
[01:20] Like, and two, unnecessary.

Speaker 2:
[01:23] You can never beat the real thing, let's face it. What's the boy's name, the one that was actually trying to intervene with his parents? He's not even five years old, and he's like, listen, guys, can you just stop? He got involved, he got physically involved, he's like, I don't think the baby wants you for this.

Speaker 3:
[01:48] He wants, he wants mommy's boobs.

Speaker 2:
[01:50] And he was actually so Asher. I want to marry Asher. Asher, keep an eye on that kid, he's going to be something. Asher had more sense than everybody in that room. And like, he became the parent. He was like, okay, you know, you're scaring the baby. I understand this is coming from a good place, you really meant well, but you need to stop now. This isn't going to be... And he ripped the fucking paper off of his mother's face, off his father, and he's like, father, like, let's just stop.

Speaker 3:
[02:27] And poor Nia, she's like, you're coming across as like, such a douche, please stop. But then she has to get Asher to jump in for her.

Speaker 2:
[02:35] Well, Asher like was almost like, I think I'm going to take over. He was barely going back up the stairs. He like kept his eye on the baby. He's like, do I really need to take this kid upstairs with me at this point? I'm so proud of Asher. You guys are doing a great job. Just stick to what you're doing. Don't try to. But you know, me, I'm a lot more harder on men, I guess. I'm like, no. No means no.

Speaker 3:
[03:02] She's submissive.

Speaker 2:
[03:04] You think she's submissive?

Speaker 3:
[03:05] More submissive. Like she doesn't want anyone messing, like even when she's talking, when they're talking about the other guys and how if Danny's going to go to the cigar bar or not, she's like, well, I just don't want this to ruin your friendships with the other guys. Like she's, she's very concerned about Danny. But I don't think she's very concerned about Danny because she is pulled back. I think she's pulled back because she doesn't want the real Nia and Danny to be on the show.

Speaker 2:
[03:34] You think so?

Speaker 3:
[03:35] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[03:36] This is what I'm going to say. Coming from what she's come from, and what she finally was open with her friends about her childhood.

Speaker 3:
[03:47] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[03:48] Which was a very hard childhood. She has to have some intestinal core, like intestinal fortitude to get through that. When you grow up, that doesn't go away. There's got to be a toughness about you. She lived in a tent in somebody's yard.

Speaker 3:
[04:05] And she had like her black belt.

Speaker 2:
[04:08] Yes. Knowing that, I like to know people's childhood. It tells me a lot about them as an adult. I don't feel that ever goes away. Mine didn't. I know if you feel the same way. But she's not what I expect in someone who lived the way, who grew up that way. In a good way.

Speaker 3:
[04:27] Because remember she had to change and became like Miss USA or Miss America.

Speaker 2:
[04:34] She's beautiful. I think she's a great mom.

Speaker 3:
[04:37] When you're retrained, it's like anything. Like you're retrained to be something else.

Speaker 2:
[04:43] So I mean, it's not like they put her in a military camp and broke her down and built her back up.

Speaker 3:
[04:48] But the beauty pageants, they all are kind of like, I wouldn't know.

Speaker 2:
[04:53] Yeah. So like you mean robotic?

Speaker 3:
[04:55] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[04:56] Okay. Well, I think that she will, she maybe she puts her foot down where we don't see.

Speaker 3:
[05:04] I think she does. I think whenever she tells Danny, she puts her finger up or like you can't have another drink or don't drink up boys night or any of those things. Like we didn't catch him drinking at her house the week before. They totally slipped that in. Did you see that?

Speaker 2:
[05:20] No. Oh.

Speaker 3:
[05:22] The week before when he was supposed, you know, he's been going with this no drinking thing. I totally saw him take a shot and then drink some of his margarita.

Speaker 2:
[05:31] Oh, see, I didn't. Okay.

Speaker 3:
[05:32] Well, don't try to pull a fast one on us. Editing got it. It was in last week's episode.

Speaker 2:
[05:37] Oh, that was in last week's episode.

Speaker 3:
[05:38] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[05:39] So if I was her, she was like, oh, I don't think so with the whole breast. I would have choked him out with the thing. Like, I want to see that Nia, because I know you are that Nia, because you grow up like I did and I kind of feel like you did. Don't tell me you can't do that.

Speaker 3:
[05:57] That had to have been a turn off.

Speaker 2:
[06:00] Well, she was like holding the fake breast and like I would have been like, hmm, it's too much.

Speaker 3:
[06:08] And it's just him trying to be like, it's like when he had his accent all last week. I can't do it. I can't do all these props.

Speaker 2:
[06:15] I can't do fake accents.

Speaker 3:
[06:17] I can't do fake accents. I can't do props.

Speaker 2:
[06:19] It gives me a fever, I think.

Speaker 3:
[06:21] I can't do that. The amount of GLP-1, so he's done this year and yet now he's bringing, going to the gym as part of his storyline.

Speaker 2:
[06:30] Yeah, let's just be honest about GLP-1. As soon as we're done speaking. Maybe I'll start tomorrow because I had anesthesia today. I want to let everyone know. I'm going full force. I'm looking at the refrigerator. It's right there and I want to let you know that tomorrow it's on.

Speaker 3:
[06:49] I want to let you know that I asked my cancer doctor. I am a health and wellness coach who is dying of cancer. Because I gained weight from the steroids.

Speaker 2:
[07:04] Sorry, stop. Don't tell me that.

Speaker 3:
[07:08] Getting bigger from the steroids, I asked my doctor if I could please have GLP-1s and he was like, no.

Speaker 2:
[07:15] No. I'm so sorry someone told you no, but I don't know that I listen. I don't know. I think I was told no too. Doesn't mean I'm not going to do it.

Speaker 3:
[07:28] I mean, I know people where I could get it. I have friends that do it.

Speaker 2:
[07:32] Listen to me. You could get it anywhere. And if you really want it, go.

Speaker 3:
[07:40] But we know, don't just shut up.

Speaker 2:
[07:43] Tell your doctor to shut up.

Speaker 3:
[07:45] Listen, let me enjoy my time.

Speaker 2:
[07:51] Well, I'm taking it tomorrow if you want to start with me. So do what you want, Teddi. I don't think you're dying because I think you would have said, then just go do it. He's telling you now.

Speaker 4:
[08:05] I think it's just that I'm getting away.

Speaker 2:
[08:06] Contradiction.

Speaker 3:
[08:09] So rude. Let me live.

Speaker 4:
[08:12] You told me to live my best life.

Speaker 3:
[08:15] But I don't even get to do it.

Speaker 2:
[08:16] him.

Speaker 3:
[08:17] Yeah, like live your best life.

Speaker 2:
[08:20] That's why I think maybe someone's lying. I don't think you're dying because he would have said, just, oh, if that's what you want, sure. Take that. Go do some cocoa. Go snort whatever you want.

Speaker 3:
[08:30] Yeah. I mean, he's telling you no.

Speaker 2:
[08:32] I mean.

Speaker 3:
[08:33] Oh, And then we get to Schwartz, Jason and Jesse go to get an extra manly.

Speaker 2:
[08:45] You know, Paul gets pedicures. Paul was on that whole Tamron Hall manscape thing. It's men are manscaping now. I think they should as they should. They always should have.

Speaker 3:
[08:58] I think that they didn't before is a problem.

Speaker 2:
[09:02] Do you think that a woman should kind of like tell them? And a lot of men think it's not manly to manscape. Not that these are the three most manly men I've ever seen in my life. They're getting pedicures.

Speaker 3:
[09:15] I think these three probably don't even have one stubble.

Speaker 2:
[09:21] I'm not saying like they're like the type of men I'm used to, but I'm going to throw it out there and say to the men listening. And it's okay. You could do this.

Speaker 3:
[09:33] You could do it. And I think it's okay. Also, people think of manscaping and they think you have to like be completely bare. No, you can just trim and have it be short and cute and nice. And like on your chest, if you have a super hairy chest. I don't like it when like their hair is coming out of their armpits.

Speaker 2:
[09:52] No, no, there's no reason for it. Trim it.

Speaker 3:
[09:56] That's what I'm saying. They can trim if they're not ready to. I mean, their dingers need to be landscaped.

Speaker 2:
[10:03] 100%.

Speaker 3:
[10:05] But Jesse, he said a bougie squirrel attached to his finger and he thought he had rabies.

Speaker 2:
[10:14] I was going to call Gabby and ask her about that because like, I don't think you can get rabies from. The squirrel, when an animal has rabies, you know it. It's like foaming at the mouth. And it's a horrible, horrible thing. And I don't think that squirrels are known to be rabid.

Speaker 3:
[10:37] But yet he wants to go get it like a shot and like get a test. It's like, it's how I feel about the GLP ones. But he feels that way about squirrel shots.

Speaker 2:
[10:47] He feels a need even though he doesn't really need it. Here's the thing. Do you know the only way to test to see if an animal has rabies is to remove its head and send it out?

Speaker 3:
[10:57] No.

Speaker 2:
[10:58] Yes, Gabby has to do that sometimes.

Speaker 3:
[11:01] Oh my gosh. So he's potentially going to kill that squirrel.

Speaker 2:
[11:07] He better not.

Speaker 3:
[11:08] He better not say that squirrel.

Speaker 2:
[11:10] Nothing's wrong with that. There's no reason to kill the squirrel. It doesn't have rabies.

Speaker 3:
[11:14] It's, it bit you because- And he's been feeding it.

Speaker 2:
[11:17] It probably, well, you know, it probably didn't, maybe you didn't get his nuts that day from Whole Foods and he didn't like the Arowan nuts. I don't know. I want to ask Gabby why the squirrel bit him.

Speaker 3:
[11:30] I think maybe he thought it was a nut. I think he thought it was a nut and a little finger nut, especially if you've got a little finger nut. But they're kind of like talking about whatever. At this point, I start to worry about, you know, I'm friends with Jesse.

Speaker 2:
[11:46] Yes. I like Jesse. Jesse has a very smart background, which people forget to mention all the time. Who?

Speaker 3:
[11:52] The Anna Nicole Smith portion?

Speaker 2:
[11:55] No. Jesse is highly educated. I believe he went to a really good school for engineering, and then he threw it all away to go try to be a model with Jack somewhere in an apartment somewhere.

Speaker 3:
[12:07] Well, he got to bang it out with Anna Nicole Smith, and I got to see a picture of it.

Speaker 2:
[12:10] She was beautiful. You know what? She was beautiful.

Speaker 3:
[12:13] She was beautiful. But I'm a little bit worried about him. He's barely on the show right now. I think having Lacey on the show has pulled him back. We're not seeing much of him. We're not seeing much of snarky behavior. He's pretty much okay if Schwartz dates his ex-wife. He even suggested it. I mean, I asked him-

Speaker 2:
[12:35] How come Wes wasn't okay with Jessie Hump and Sierra? But this one's like, listen, just-

Speaker 3:
[12:42] I have a kid with her. It's okay.

Speaker 2:
[12:44] I have a kid with her. If you make her happy and she gets off my dick, then I'm very happy. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[12:49] He's like, fine, do it.

Speaker 2:
[12:50] What did I say though, Teddi? The other day I said, when you don't care about somebody anymore, you don't care who they're with.

Speaker 3:
[12:57] Yeah, you don't.

Speaker 2:
[12:58] But you don't want them dating your friend behind their back. I get that that is-

Speaker 3:
[13:02] But Schwartz I thought actually had a good point because then he said, I would never do that unless there was full love there. Unless I was really- Thank you.

Speaker 2:
[13:12] How do you know you're in love unless you start a relationship?

Speaker 3:
[13:15] Well, I think you start to have a platonic relationship.

Speaker 2:
[13:21] Do you think that Jesse really means it for Tom to do?

Speaker 3:
[13:27] I think Jesse is really into Lacey.

Speaker 2:
[13:33] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[13:33] I think Jesse is really into Lacey, and I think he has to have something to talk about. There's no drama with Lacey. Lacey is not going to let any drama get out. Michelle isn't really talking to him at all. So we've got to have some kind of content, because right now I'm looking at this faceless. Like Summer, Summer, the lady that worked at the nail salon, has been on More Than Jesse this season. And Janet.

Speaker 2:
[14:03] She kind of deserves to be. I think she's cute. Lala wants to set her on fire, but I thought she was sweet when they were there getting their nails done. She wants a boyfriend.

Speaker 3:
[14:13] She was sweet when they were getting their nails done, but when they went on the date. Well, Schwartz awkwardly mentions that he's going to a singles night with Michelle and Lala. He promises Jesse he's not going to shoplift.

Speaker 2:
[14:25] Booty.

Speaker 3:
[14:26] Is that it? Shoplift the booty? And here's the thing. She was mic'd during all of this.

Speaker 2:
[14:33] It was okay. So it was a planned thing. Production probably said, are you going to go show up? Like it was.

Speaker 3:
[14:39] She was she was mic'd even at the nail salon or the barbershop.

Speaker 2:
[14:44] They'll do that. They will do that if somebody's involved in the conversation.

Speaker 3:
[14:50] That's what I mean. So she must have said, I'm a huge fan and they said, do you want to flirt with Schwartz?

Speaker 2:
[14:56] And she's already, she was all on board for it.

Speaker 3:
[15:01] She was too on board for it. Well, like when they did the flashback and she was like, don't expect.

Speaker 4:
[15:15] I hope she doesn't watch this.

Speaker 2:
[15:17] I would feel so down. Go ahead. Go fucking eviscerate her right now. Go do it, Teddi, so you could feel good.

Speaker 3:
[15:27] Don't be surprising to me tonight.

Speaker 4:
[15:30] Like I was like, no, no, I want to be surprised. I don't want to be surprised.

Speaker 3:
[15:35] I don't want you here tonight. Brittany, Kristen and Jasmine grabbed dinner. Kristen's emotional because she doesn't like herself postpartum.

Speaker 2:
[15:50] I feel myself. I'm not postpartum, and I'm feeling what she's feeling right now. I have to go out to dinner tonight with some new friends to get to know them, and you think, I feel like getting dressed and doing that. I don't. I want to cancel and say my stomach hurts from the endoscopy.

Speaker 3:
[16:11] They're going to listen to the pod and hear that you took the GLP-1s, and that's probably why your stomach hurts.

Speaker 2:
[16:16] Well, no, because I didn't take it. I'm going to take it tomorrow, but I want to do it. But no, but I'm going to have to wear elastic waistband pants. Everybody's getting dressed. As we speak, what time is it? Whatever time it is, five, six hours.

Speaker 3:
[16:32] Yeah, you're coming up soon.

Speaker 2:
[16:34] Yeah, five or six hours. They're getting hair and makeup, they're tanning, whitening strips, the whole nine. And here I am looking at my Amazon leopard skin pants over here with the red stripe down them, with the elastic waist and figuring out how I'm going to make them look good.

Speaker 3:
[16:58] But in this moment, I felt a little sad here because yes, we get the little bit of a soft launch of Whitney admitting that she's with Brandon now. They're officially dating and all the girls are like, oh, that's a terrible idea, but whatever. And she's like, just be happy for me. I'm like, I'm not happy for you.

Speaker 2:
[17:17] So mad about it.

Speaker 3:
[17:18] I know.

Speaker 2:
[17:19] They're like, pop the puss, but don't pop the what?

Speaker 3:
[17:23] But don't pop. I didn't get all that popping.

Speaker 2:
[17:25] I got grossed out by that whole thing.

Speaker 3:
[17:27] Yeah. She said you can like something about like you can pop like half. Essentially, what she's saying is have. Yeah, explain that to me because I got what she was saying is have sex with them all you want, but don't make it official.

Speaker 2:
[17:43] Well, he.

Speaker 3:
[17:46] Badly wants to be on a reality television show.

Speaker 2:
[17:49] He she I didn't feel like she wanted it, which kind of felt like, you know, it was like, OK, and said yes to it. But I don't know, but I don't think it's long lived. I do like, though, to be honest with you, when you're in a vulnerable, vulnerable position at a vulnerable time in your life, you do have certain people that latch on to that. And I like that her friends are not saying, hey, yeah, go for the fling, because that's when you make bad decisions, and that's when you get involved with someone and you wind up in a relationship before you know it. Before you know it, he's moving his clothes in the house.

Speaker 3:
[18:32] Before you know, you've got 16 kids from all of his other baby mamas.

Speaker 2:
[18:36] Yeah, he's got the kids all over. And then he's like, he's five hours away. Next thing you know, he's showing up with a suitcase. I've seen this before.

Speaker 3:
[18:46] I've seen it before, and I don't want to see it again.

Speaker 2:
[18:48] So I appreciate them.

Speaker 3:
[18:50] I appreciate them saying that. But I feel like what they said to Kristen, it probably would have made me cry more, too. When I'm crying about something, like if I'm feeling unattractive or if I'm feeling not good in my own skin, and someone's like, you look great. What do you mean, beautiful? What do you, it does not make me feel better. It makes me feel worse.

Speaker 2:
[19:14] You want to see, if one, I showed this picture to people the other day, and whoever told me that it's not that bad, I'm not talking to right now. So I know what you're talking about. I'm going to show you right now. Okay. You think I'm kidding? Okay. Don't dare tell me it's okay. Don't tell me that's okay because I'll never talk to you again. I'll quit the podcast and we're not friends. Okay. That was yesterday.

Speaker 4:
[19:43] You're lying.

Speaker 2:
[19:46] This is yesterday. You're lying. Shut the fuck up, Teddi. At least you're laughing. We could stay friends now. You told me what year it's at.

Speaker 3:
[20:04] I was about to pull up my wedding pics from 1999.

Speaker 2:
[20:07] No, no, no, no, no, no. What's today? April 20th day? I don't even know what day it is. I don't even know. Well, it was today's Wednesday. It was Monday. It wasn't yesterday.

Speaker 3:
[20:20] Maybe lavender is not your color.

Speaker 2:
[20:23] No, that's a Victoria Beckham dress, and the only person it looks good on is her, so she can go fuck herself too today.

Speaker 3:
[20:32] But I have a question. When you put it on and looked at yourself in the mirror, were you like, this looks good? You felt good about it?

Speaker 2:
[20:38] I never look in the mirror.

Speaker 3:
[20:39] What? So you just put it on, saw that it fit.

Speaker 2:
[20:43] I'm like, what can I wear that's not tight around my stomach? What can I wear that's not loose?

Speaker 3:
[20:50] Can you do me a favor and send me that picture so when I'm feeling a little low today, I can look at it?

Speaker 2:
[20:59] I am so happy to do that. So to your point, don't tell me I look good when I don't.

Speaker 3:
[21:05] Yeah, don't try to tell me you look, Teddi looks stunning. I get it. I am beet red. For some reason, it's 125 degrees in my podcast room right now. I'm honestly in a pro slot. Then I'd be naked.

Speaker 2:
[21:22] That's the difference. What are you going to do? Can you put a t-shirt on then? My God.

Speaker 3:
[21:28] Well, anyways, they don't really talk to Kristen much about her situation with her husband. Did you notice they talked to her about her, but they didn't talk to her about, she didn't really open up about him and how he's been behaving, and I do not think he's been behaving okay.

Speaker 2:
[21:47] Okay. I'm going to play devil's advocate here.

Speaker 3:
[21:51] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[21:52] And I feel like the guy's been going through a lot. She had a rough pregnancy, and now she gets upset with him if he wants to go out or do something. He's got to be there in the morning when she wakes up. I am, call me an asshole. Okay. But I do know men need their space for certain things. Has he been supportive of her? I feel like he has. Yeah. And I think that, you know, they're not having sex. She doesn't feel good about herself. She's postpartum. She's like, you know, I feel for her to every extent that there is. I've been treated like shit during that time. Yeah. I don't know that he's treating her like shit. I feel like he's kind of like going through things too. And he doesn't feel appreciated.

Speaker 3:
[22:43] You're right. I have been treated like shit during that time and it feels terrible. I don't think he's intentionally saying like hurtful things towards her, but he's most like he's most definitely not like to me, it doesn't feel like a comfort.

Speaker 2:
[22:59] Right. And she doesn't have it in her to give it to him.

Speaker 3:
[23:03] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[23:03] He's, I think, tapped out of the comfort zone.

Speaker 3:
[23:08] Yeah. I mean, it's, I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[23:10] I feel like they get through it.

Speaker 3:
[23:12] And it's also because Kristen used to love filming. And now you can tell she hates it.

Speaker 2:
[23:19] I got it like, I got like four weeks before I'm sitting on a table crying in front of a bunch of girls running to the bathroom. Okay. If things don't turn around real quick. That's why I feel for her.

Speaker 3:
[23:37] Yeah. So they have that. They talk about diet and all. They do all the things. Then the guys show up at the cigar lounge and Jason calls himself a reverse Bill Clinton. I don't get this at all. Even when he told me.

Speaker 2:
[23:50] Can someone explain that phrase to me?

Speaker 3:
[23:53] Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 2:
[23:54] Bill Clinton had said he did it in hail marijuana.

Speaker 1:
[23:58] When he was accused of it, he said he did it in hail. So he was trying to make a joke that he, because you're not supposed to inhale cigars. So Jason was trying to make the joke that he inhaled cigars. It didn't work.

Speaker 2:
[24:12] Oh, and you're making me watch this show more. Okay.

Speaker 3:
[24:15] Yeah, this is okay. So that was Matt. We had to get our producer on to tell us what that joke meant because as if all the people we stock down, like we have time to remember what Bill Clinton said about his pot smoking allegation.

Speaker 2:
[24:28] And getting a blow job doesn't mean he cheated and it's not sex.

Speaker 4:
[24:34] Whatever.

Speaker 2:
[24:36] Asking a girl to, well, no, but he also asked Monica Lewinsky to stick the cigar of Purple Cat.

Speaker 3:
[24:44] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[24:45] Let's not forget that.

Speaker 3:
[24:48] Maybe he should have made a reference to that because I would have remembered that.

Speaker 4:
[24:53] Purple Cat.

Speaker 2:
[24:56] It's an old Jersey, Italian thing.

Speaker 4:
[24:59] For Clutch.

Speaker 2:
[25:00] In case someone doesn't know what that is.

Speaker 3:
[25:03] I mean, he clarifies, he tries to make a joke. No one gets it. No one remembers that time. They, you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 2:
[25:10] Does he stick the cigar up his ass?

Speaker 3:
[25:12] He's just...

Speaker 2:
[25:18] Is that what he meant by it?

Speaker 3:
[25:19] I never saw him smoking a cigar, so I don't know what happened to it.

Speaker 2:
[25:24] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[25:24] All I'm realizing during the scene is, what are we watching here and why? What? You can't do this to me. It feels overproduced.

Speaker 2:
[25:36] Danny comes in hot.

Speaker 3:
[25:38] Danny comes in hot. He's got one... Danny has gotten so used to the GLP ones, he doesn't feel sick anymore.

Speaker 2:
[25:45] They stop work and then...

Speaker 3:
[25:46] It's down low and he's ready to come in and fight. But on peri-ay.

Speaker 2:
[25:55] Jeez, he's better with a few drinks in him. I just want to say most people are on these shows.

Speaker 3:
[26:00] But it's really stiff. Danny's in skinny jeans, suede boots, and reveals that he's not drinking tonight. Like we didn't see it. We already talked about this.

Speaker 2:
[26:10] Well, you get sick if you drink on GLP ones. You know that? Oh, you don't know. You don't take it.

Speaker 3:
[26:14] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[26:14] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[26:15] Oh.

Speaker 2:
[26:16] You can't drink. You projectile like vomit.

Speaker 3:
[26:18] Oh, that's what happens when you get a straight out no from the beginning.

Speaker 2:
[26:26] Well, I don't usually listen to no. I was told no too today.

Speaker 3:
[26:30] You were?

Speaker 2:
[26:31] Oh, well, you know what?

Speaker 3:
[26:32] What are doctors now?

Speaker 2:
[26:35] Certainly not how I feel right now.

Speaker 3:
[26:40] Then Luke would like to solve some of the terminology that Janet used, like sexually assaulted when it came to that. That's a strong word.

Speaker 2:
[26:49] Very. Why are we still talking about this was what? Two seasons ago?

Speaker 3:
[26:57] I think this was last season on the boat.

Speaker 2:
[27:00] Okay. It was last season. It felt like two seasons ago, but we talked about it a lot.

Speaker 3:
[27:04] We've been talking about it so much, and we even had to talk about it at the reunion.

Speaker 2:
[27:08] I'm not belittling it. I'm not belittling it. It was wrong. It should have been talked about, conversation to be had. But at this point, is the conversation with the intentions of what that really is, or is it with the intentions of dragging out a storyline?

Speaker 3:
[27:26] That's what I like.

Speaker 2:
[27:27] I don't like things used for that that are serious.

Speaker 3:
[27:30] I think some of these people should have hung out in between filming and built some relationship. Because it seriously feels like strangers coming in and trying to. I get that nobody wants to drive to Santa Clarita, but like Danny, then you have to do the work.

Speaker 2:
[27:47] Where is that?

Speaker 3:
[27:48] That's where Danny lives.

Speaker 2:
[27:50] No, I know. But like where is that from where everybody else is? Like how far?

Speaker 3:
[27:54] Like for me right now, it would take over an hour.

Speaker 2:
[27:58] With California traffic or just in general?

Speaker 3:
[28:02] With California. It's where Six Flags is. So it's like out far enough that you can have a whole theme park.

Speaker 2:
[28:12] Got it. Because I've stayed in the valley before, I'm trying to keep deciding you want to be an actor.

Speaker 3:
[28:17] So yeah, no, the valley is, I mean, I think the rest of them actually do live in the valley. Maybe Tom Schwartz doesn't, but I think the rest of them do. But yeah, this entire-

Speaker 2:
[28:32] So let's clear this up. Let's button up this story.

Speaker 3:
[28:36] Let's finish this story. You do it.

Speaker 2:
[28:38] No, I mean, I'm saying like for them.

Speaker 3:
[28:40] I know.

Speaker 2:
[28:41] I want them to button it up.

Speaker 3:
[28:42] I want to be done talking about it. But do you want to know why it's not going to be buttoned up?

Speaker 2:
[28:46] Why?

Speaker 3:
[28:47] Because it's going to happen again.

Speaker 2:
[28:49] He's going to hit her on the ass again?

Speaker 3:
[28:52] Maybe not her, but someone. They're cueing us up for something.

Speaker 2:
[28:57] Oh, well, then that makes sense then. I guess we'll be hearing about it. Then I don't have a problem. If there is more of a story of that to be had. But then there is Janet said she felt uncomfortable when he shut the door when she was in the pantry. I kind of get that.

Speaker 3:
[29:13] Like she's in there trying to make her mac and cheese and he comes in and shuts the door so he can pour alcohol out the camera scene.

Speaker 2:
[29:20] Yeah. I mean, not necessary, Danny, not necessary.

Speaker 3:
[29:24] Not necessary, Danny. If she's not ashamed to eat Kraft singles out of the one.

Speaker 2:
[29:31] How do you make it in the microwave? I never.

Speaker 3:
[29:33] They're the one packs.

Speaker 2:
[29:35] Never saw in my life.

Speaker 3:
[29:36] You've never seen the one pack? Oh, my gosh. I'm ashamed to say I've eaten them as well.

Speaker 2:
[29:42] You have little kids, you make them stuff like that or no? Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[29:46] And well, no, I'm perfect. Everything they eat.

Speaker 2:
[29:49] I used to watch you make their snacks on your Instagram.

Speaker 3:
[29:53] Uh, my daughter and I, sorry to say, my daughter and I spent 45 minutes last night laughing at my TikToks before I had cancer.

Speaker 2:
[30:08] I used to watch them. I never followed what you did, but I would watch them with the attention like, oh, if I had little kids, I'd have their little snack trays like that. Well, like, I could probably go back and see the end that I think.

Speaker 4:
[30:22] It's just so bad.

Speaker 2:
[30:24] Like four carrots.

Speaker 3:
[30:25] Like if I had that much energy now to be so spunky.

Speaker 2:
[30:32] I just remember it all.

Speaker 3:
[30:34] I remember it all too. Now that I saw it, I totally blocked that part of my life out. But now, now they have paid lunch.

Speaker 2:
[30:43] Okay. Nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3:
[30:51] Then it's Singles Night, and Schwartz, Michelle Lala, and Michelle's best friend, Natalie, comes to the Belmont. That is the first place I met my first husband at, too.

Speaker 2:
[31:04] Get out.

Speaker 3:
[31:05] I know. And I met my second husband, Edwin, at the place next door.

Speaker 2:
[31:10] Well, single girls, that's the place to go, single girls and guys.

Speaker 3:
[31:15] Yeah, this is where you go.

Speaker 2:
[31:16] The Belmont.

Speaker 3:
[31:16] Yeah, the Belmont.

Speaker 2:
[31:17] Is that in like where, LA?

Speaker 3:
[31:19] West Hollywood.

Speaker 2:
[31:21] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[31:21] It's on Los Yenega.

Speaker 2:
[31:23] Okay, guys, so whoever's listening, get your girls, get your guys and go.

Speaker 3:
[31:27] Yeah, go to Belmont. It's delicious. But Natalie and Schwartz are hitting it off a little bit, but the cigarette in the ear is bothering me a lot.

Speaker 2:
[31:39] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[31:39] Did you notice the cigarette in the air? Like it would come and disappear and then come and disappear. Like it was like 25 times.

Speaker 2:
[31:46] Well, because I guess it got smoked and then you come back in or what?

Speaker 3:
[31:50] I don't know, but why didn't you just carry the pack of cigarettes? If we're going to just openly smoke on camera, just leave your pack of cigs on the table.

Speaker 2:
[31:57] It wants to be like James Dean.

Speaker 3:
[31:59] Yeah. Like roll them in a shirt later?

Speaker 2:
[32:01] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[32:02] No. I don't want to see that. Neither did Natalie. Natalie goes, are you going to smoke that cigarette or what?

Speaker 2:
[32:10] After it's been behind your ear? We have evolved. There's germs here. We don't put them in our mouth. That was like 1950.

Speaker 3:
[32:19] Yeah. Like what are you doing, buddy? But then they all talk about like if they date men on dating apps and whatnot, and Lala says that she doesn't, but she slides into DMs and she says she just sends the little chef's kiss.

Speaker 2:
[32:38] But when she did this, I thought she meant this was Italian. Like, what are you doing? Look at my wrist, how fat it is. Like, what do you do?

Speaker 3:
[32:49] I want to know why not one person has sent me a message of this. On my DMs, on my dating apps, nothing.

Speaker 2:
[32:57] Well, if they did, I would think that that was just saying, hey, I'm Italian too, would mean like not I want to go out with you. I never knew that was chef's kiss. I thought it was like, we do this to people.

Speaker 3:
[33:07] But does chef's kiss mean I want to make out with you? I didn't even know that.

Speaker 2:
[33:13] I guess it strikes up a conversation. Okay, Lala, something simple like that. I think she's so pretty.

Speaker 3:
[33:19] She's so pretty. And when Summer walked in and she said that she had Shih Tzu hair.

Speaker 2:
[33:27] Yeah, that is so funny.

Speaker 3:
[33:29] And I know all about Shih Tzu hair. And they showed hers where hers is like in front of her bang.

Speaker 2:
[33:34] Like, yeah, she comes up with some shit.

Speaker 3:
[33:41] That girl, she's on it.

Speaker 2:
[33:43] I mean, she's very smart.

Speaker 3:
[33:45] She's on it. But she you can tell the fact that Summer didn't get the hint to get the fuck away. I can't understand.

Speaker 2:
[33:52] Oh, she got the hint. She wasn't going.

Speaker 3:
[33:55] She didn't care.

Speaker 2:
[33:56] She did not care. She got a set of balls on her. She's she is going for it.

Speaker 3:
[34:01] Oh, so you think she knew she you think she knew those girls were trash talking a little bit.

Speaker 2:
[34:07] She knew it. How could she not know it? They weren't hiding it. Yeah, no, they were like sitting in her face going to the girl, Natalie. These two are a match. These two are a match. They are a match.

Speaker 1:
[34:21] You should leave.

Speaker 3:
[34:23] Why did the girl come up with two drinks and not give one of them to somebody else? That was another thing.

Speaker 2:
[34:28] Why should she? No one's treating her nice. I wouldn't give anybody anything.

Speaker 4:
[34:32] That's true.

Speaker 2:
[34:34] Why should she? She's not going to win them over by being nice. At this point, she's worn them down from not leaving. They're like, I guess she's staying.

Speaker 3:
[34:42] I guess she's staying will include her in the conversation.

Speaker 2:
[34:45] Which by the way, is usually the girl that wins the guy. I'm not that girl. If I think you don't like me, I'll shut down and just run the other way and make believe I never even knew you. But I'm not like a very, even with friends, like I'm not aggressive like that. Like I'm not in your face about things. Like this girl is going to wind up being with him. Watch.

Speaker 3:
[35:09] If we have to see some or another episode, I'm really going to worry about Melissa Murray. Who else? Benji. Because we haven't seen them at all.

Speaker 2:
[35:21] Well, this girl is here to stay.

Speaker 3:
[35:24] She's going to stay for the night. Then Michelle is definitely trying to play matchmaker. She's making it clear she does not want shorts. She wants her friend to have shorts. Then she talks about her when she swiped the wrong like she didn't want Jesse when she first met him.

Speaker 2:
[35:41] Because she can't ever say anything nice about Jesse. But do you think that Michelle, do you think that Natalie was interested in shorts? Because she was making believe like she didn't know he liked her. Like that he was kind of, she's very pretty, what's not to like, right?

Speaker 3:
[35:59] Well, I don't know. She had sweat pant jeans on.

Speaker 2:
[36:02] That's what I'll be wearing tonight.

Speaker 3:
[36:04] No, it's to show off your sexy butt?

Speaker 2:
[36:08] No, it'll be because nothing, because I'm going to have to wear stretchy something.

Speaker 3:
[36:12] Oh my God.

Speaker 2:
[36:13] Elastic waist.

Speaker 3:
[36:14] Well, she had those, to really show off her figure. Like she came in hot, those braids took some time. She was coming in hot. She's a pretty girl.

Speaker 2:
[36:23] Listen, Lala might be.

Speaker 3:
[36:26] Lala said she'd take her home to mom.

Speaker 2:
[36:28] Yeah. So maybe she will. Maybe that's the next thing we see on this show.

Speaker 3:
[36:33] But for the first time, we actually see Michelle say something nice about Jesse when she talks about their wedding.

Speaker 2:
[36:42] Yeah, and their engagement. In the scene before this, when Jesse was talking, he was saying at the pedicure place, that right now, Isabella is their main focus, and that's what it should be at this point. They are separated. There's no chance in getting back. He's moved on. Michelle's ready to make a necklace out of her ring. Everybody's good. Everyone is really good. So I just hope it stays that way.

Speaker 3:
[37:15] I hope it stays that way too, but I have a question about making necklaces with rings. Would you ever do that? I have my ring hidden over at my friend's house.

Speaker 2:
[37:26] You remember when she said she had to sell her rings, because she couldn't pay her bills? I think I've sold quite a few rings in my day.

Speaker 3:
[37:33] You sold them.

Speaker 2:
[37:34] So what would I do now? I sold them because I had to, not because I wanted to. What would I do now? You don't get the money back that they paid for it. Right now, diamonds are low, and I hope I never have to do that again. But the fact that she's keeping it, and she wants to wear it is nice. I mean, I have nothing against that. I would put it away from my daughter because she might lose it on a necklace.

Speaker 3:
[38:00] Yeah, that's probably the same. But I know, because see, I still have my first one and then my upgrade.

Speaker 2:
[38:09] Oh, okay.

Speaker 3:
[38:11] But now, what am I going to do with either of them? Give them to the next wife?

Speaker 4:
[38:17] Give it to your daughter. I know who Stephanie Gottlieb is.

Speaker 2:
[38:25] I know who Stephanie Gottlieb is.

Speaker 3:
[38:26] Stephanie is an eight-carat diamond.

Speaker 2:
[38:29] Oh, my God. You know what? Give it to your girl. That's what we always say. Give it to your girls. Also, the jewelry I was saving was robbed. So put it away in a nice place and save it for your girls.

Speaker 3:
[38:43] Yeah, that's a smart plan. Then we get to Brittany and Zach and Schwartz come over to babysit. So Kaya, so Kristen and Luke can have a date and all, right?

Speaker 2:
[38:55] That's nice. They need a date night.

Speaker 3:
[38:58] But the date night was not nice.

Speaker 2:
[39:01] No, but the intention was there. I think they need to regroup. I don't want to see anything happen to them. I like them as a couple, don't you?

Speaker 3:
[39:12] I like them as a couple, but I feel like Kristen doesn't feel respected and neither does Luke.

Speaker 2:
[39:20] It causes problems.

Speaker 3:
[39:22] Yeah, and it causes problems and they don't know how to fix it. I think Luke feels like Kristen doesn't take his struggles. It's his first time dad, seriously, because she has her own. Kristen thought Luke was going to leave her during the first trimester. This was news to me. This was news. Did you know that?

Speaker 2:
[39:40] No.

Speaker 3:
[39:40] No, me neither.

Speaker 2:
[39:42] The first trimester of her pregnancy, he was going to leave her?

Speaker 3:
[39:46] Yes, that's the story.

Speaker 2:
[39:48] This has been going on a long time.

Speaker 3:
[39:50] They've been fighting for a while.

Speaker 2:
[39:51] I think they've been getting bad.

Speaker 3:
[39:53] I think what happens was I think I could be wrong, but I think they had to do a lot of rounds of like IVF and stuff. That's when it started going bad for me.

Speaker 2:
[40:03] So I know that it's really when you do IVF, I did it, but isn't it like you become very hormonal, it's very painful.

Speaker 3:
[40:12] And then every time you have a miscarriage or you have an atopic pregnancy or you're not pregnant, you beat yourself up about it. I got in a lot of trouble for saying this on Beverly Hills, but I still believe it. Like I felt like it was one of my purposes to have kids. And when I couldn't, it like broke my heart. And so every time I would have a miscarriage, it would like end me. Like it was to the point.

Speaker 2:
[40:35] Why would that get you in trouble?

Speaker 3:
[40:37] Because that like a woman's job is not just to have kids.

Speaker 2:
[40:41] No, a person's job is relative to them.

Speaker 4:
[40:45] Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[40:46] And if that's how you felt, that's valid.

Speaker 3:
[40:49] And that is how I felt. Now go fuck those kids. They can go run around.

Speaker 2:
[40:55] Now it probably wasn't such a good idea. I tell people not to do it and more and more people are listening to me than ever.

Speaker 3:
[41:07] But they go out on this date. I don't think, I mean, did they seem like they laughed one time? Or like they didn't even get a plate for their pizza.

Speaker 2:
[41:18] I remember going to a marriage counselor, which I thought was a bad idea in the first place. Now, I remember one thing the guy saying before Frank started throwing cheers across the room. He said, most people, by the time they come to therapy, it's too late.

Speaker 3:
[41:37] Oh, that's how it was for me.

Speaker 2:
[41:40] Yeah. So, you know, I think this has been going on a really, really long time. And I hope they that they can reel it in. I don't think physically and emotionally and chemically, she she has the strength to say, what do you need, honey?

Speaker 3:
[42:00] Yeah, it's not there yet. It's just give her some time.

Speaker 2:
[42:04] Give her some time. He didn't go through all these chemical changes in his life and all these things. And it's like if you get married, it's through thick and thin, right?

Speaker 3:
[42:11] All he had to do was stop fishing as much.

Speaker 2:
[42:14] Well, he just wants to be able to fish without somebody busting his balls. And she wants him there regardless. And, and he said, I spend more times on the couch than I should. I wake up on the couch more than I should. So there's so I think that there needs to be an intervention here. I think that these people as a friend group, especially me and Danny need who understand what it's like to go through having kids, what it's like right after. I mean, she seems to be very good with her pregnancies. I wasn't.

Speaker 3:
[42:53] I wasn't.

Speaker 2:
[42:54] I suffered terribly.

Speaker 3:
[42:55] But I think that would, those are the type of things I wish they were showing us. Like, yeah, having a conversation with Christian, truly about their babies and not just like showing us them breastfeeding. Like, I want to hear like, this is the hard part.

Speaker 2:
[43:10] This is what happened. This is how it is. Unless it's always good, because it looks like it's always good there.

Speaker 3:
[43:18] But it can't be. That's impossible. It's impossible for things to always be good. It's like the couple that always posts pictures where they look like perfect together every single time. They're always the worst couple and then all of a sudden, one of them has deleted every single photo of the other person and that's how we have to find out they break up. But I felt like this episode, not to shit on it, but we need more. You can't give us, we've got so much going on with all the other shows are giving so much that when you feel one that isn't giving.

Speaker 2:
[43:55] Look at Rhode Island, not to say.

Speaker 3:
[43:56] That's what I'm saying at Rhode Island. This weekend, we've got Summer House. We've got other stuff.

Speaker 2:
[44:04] Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 3:
[44:06] They need to step up.

Speaker 2:
[44:08] Brittany needs to say, I said yes because I didn't know how to say no to him. Yeah. Nia needs to sit her friend down and say, listen, this is a hard time. You've got to pull it together with whatever you have left and get through it. And they all need to sit together and help these people because I feel bad for what she's going through. Let's keep Jessie and Michelle happy.

Speaker 3:
[44:34] Keep Jessie and Michelle happy.

Speaker 2:
[44:35] For Isabella?

Speaker 3:
[44:36] Yeah, Lacey can zip in whenever she feels like it. Jasmine didn't get yelling this episode. She wasn't mad at anyone.

Speaker 2:
[44:44] Good, I'm happy.

Speaker 3:
[44:45] Yeah. We didn't see Janet. I'm glad Lala is back.

Speaker 2:
[44:52] I'm glad Lala is back. I want to see more of her.

Speaker 3:
[44:56] The thing I was thinking about was when Lala's talking and production asks her, who all of you slept with? She's like, I'm not Sheena fucking Shea. I'm not airing all my dirty laundry. I was like, oh my gosh, because Sheena did just do that. She wrote a book and talked about all the people she had sex with.

Speaker 2:
[45:17] I have the book here.

Speaker 3:
[45:18] I have her book too, but she also doesn't like me much, I don't think.

Speaker 2:
[45:23] She doesn't?

Speaker 3:
[45:24] Well, I don't know. We had some issues. Maybe I'll blame Tamra because Tamra is out of town.

Speaker 2:
[45:29] Blame Tamra and make up with? I don't like loose ends.

Speaker 3:
[45:32] Yeah. Here's the thing. We were fine. We'll be fine when we see each other, I think. Granted, she saw my friend Kelly when she was dropping off at preschool the other day, and Kelly was like, oh, you're friends with Teddi, said something, and she was like, because she didn't expect that. I'm like, did you get Lala and Sheena confused? She's like, yes. I'm like, that's what happened.

Speaker 2:
[46:01] Now she knows. Because it's so funny, because since me and you have been on this podcast, I get those kind of faces when I run into people too. Now I have to worry about walking in a room, like who's mad at me this week, like I said anything so bad.

Speaker 3:
[46:14] I know. We're going to forget by next week. I already forgot what we talked about at the beginning of this episode. I know they don't.

Speaker 2:
[46:21] Why don't they? I never got mad at what people say about me.

Speaker 3:
[46:25] Because nobody said bad things about you, Dolores.

Speaker 2:
[46:28] You did.

Speaker 3:
[46:29] No, I didn't.

Speaker 2:
[46:30] No, you didn't. I'm kidding.

Speaker 3:
[46:34] I mean, I got mad. I think I went to a stage where I would clap back on the comments to people when people would talk crap about me.

Speaker 2:
[46:43] I never did. I don't even know what they are. I don't look for them. I don't care. I could probably meet somebody and they could probably have talked shit about me and then I just still be nice to them. Then they wonder like, oh, then they feel bad that they said anything about you.

Speaker 3:
[46:58] Then they're like, she's such a nice girl. Yeah. Well, I love you.

Speaker 2:
[47:02] Ignorance is bliss and I love you.

Speaker 3:
[47:04] Ignorance is bliss, but gosh, we've got Beverly Hills coming up next. I know. Keep it coming.

Speaker 2:
[47:12] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[47:13] All righty. Bye, guys. Bye.
