Speaker 2: He saw a lot of those Barragamo shoes to get
Speaker 2: that ring.
Speaker 4: Guys, you also.
Speaker 6: Wanted to know Teddy you said on the podcast like
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago, because you guys were talking
Speaker 6: about how Shannon used to like I think it was
Speaker 6: on the OC recap, but you were saying Tamara was
Speaker 6: saying on the show how Shannon used to call her
Speaker 6: all the time and she was like drunk, and you
Speaker 6: said that someone on Beverly Hills did that when you
Speaker 6: were on the show, or like you hinted at that.
Speaker 6: Can you say who it was?
Speaker 2: Did I say somebody would call when they were drunk
Speaker 2: or somebody would call and coach and with chardonnay and
Speaker 2: a sig. Yes, I'll just say that it's a three
Speaker 2: initial name, Lisa vander pum LVP.
Speaker 6: That was not who I was expecting. I really like
Speaker 6: thought you were gonna say Sutton or something. Well, I
Speaker 6: guess why would it be Sattin if you're no calling me?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not? She hates Teddy. I didn't like me from
Speaker 3: the get Are you excited for Salt Lake City?
Speaker 5: I have gribes. I think I don't like how last
Speaker 5: season ended.
Speaker 6: I just don't feel like they should be making decisions
Speaker 6: on like who comes back because they're uncomfortable. I tell
Speaker 6: everybody this all the time, Like I grew up in
Speaker 6: the era of Housewives where we filmed with Kelly Dodd
Speaker 6: and we kept it moving, so like, yes, I don't
Speaker 6: understand all of that. I feel like, I like, to me,
Speaker 6: they're just like not professionals. That's just like what it
Speaker 6: is to me. Like I feel like in the grand
Speaker 6: scheme of things, like Monica didn't really do anything that badly.
Speaker 3: That's why I was gonna ask you, do you think
Speaker 3: it was that bad what Monica did?
Speaker 5: No, she was running like a local blog and only
Speaker 5: had like five K.
Speaker 6: The only reason, like SKYROCKETSS is like everybody knew about it.
Speaker 6: But I don't think it was that bad. And I
Speaker 6: feel like Whitney should have like really like been there
Speaker 6: for Monica in the end, because like, I don't know,
Speaker 6: it was just I didn't like that all of that,
Speaker 6: and I don't even like agree with Heather, Like Heather
Speaker 6: was just kind of full of shit.
Speaker 5: My next questions for you, I was gonna ask if
Speaker 5: you were secretly happy that the Girl's Trip Morocco didn't
Speaker 5: end up happening so Gretchen didn't have an easy way
Speaker 5: to slide back in the county.
Speaker 4: But a great question.
Speaker 3: I mean, all I can say is Karma is a bitch.
Speaker 3: Karma is a.
Speaker 6: Bitch, right, Yeah, Yeah, I was to see like the
Speaker 6: dynamic if it was there, but I just feel like
Speaker 6: it just wasn't meant to be, Like Morocco just wasn't
Speaker 6: meant to I just don't think.
Speaker 3: That we're going to see any more Ultimate Girls' trips.
Speaker 3: I think they became too toxic for I mean, there
Speaker 3: was a lot of lawsuits that came out of it,
Speaker 3: and I mean, ultimately, I mean I still would have
Speaker 3: watched it even though you know she was on it,
Speaker 3: but and who knows it could have been good.
Speaker 4: But if it was, she would have even been on
Speaker 4: it much.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just know that Vicky was texting
Speaker 3: me the whole time and look at this bitch is doing.
Speaker 3: Look with this bitch said, I love that.
Speaker 5: I love that way. Oh yeah, talk to Brandy, Like,
Speaker 5: have you talked to her lately?
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 3: No, I actually thought about her the other day just
Speaker 3: things just got a little bit too toxic. And then
Speaker 3: she had said a lot of things that weren't very
Speaker 3: supportive of either one of us, which I was confused about.
Speaker 3: And I think she's just going through a lot.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: My hopes and prayers is that she gets through this
Speaker 3: and she's okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. I feel like you can come back
Speaker 6: from anything. I mean, like, look at me, Hetty. Have
Speaker 6: you seen or talked to Mauricio since he was spotted
Speaker 6: kissing a woman in Greece?
Speaker 2: I have not seen or spoken to him, But I
Speaker 2: wouldn't say that. I see many of my friend's husbands
Speaker 2: or ex husbands or whatever.
Speaker 4: It may be. When they're not around, you know, like it.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not a I'm not like, hey, let's
Speaker 2: hang out. It's it's always been like a couple's type
Speaker 2: of situation. And I haven't we haven't bumped into one another.
Speaker 5: But I'm sure Beverly Hill Season three party by any.
Speaker 4: Well, No, it's.
Speaker 2: No, but there's no ill like everything's cool. I mean,
Speaker 2: if I did see him, great, I mean, he's lovely.
Speaker 2: But no, I'd never reach out to my my friend's
Speaker 2: significant others present or past.
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't reach out to Eddie.
Speaker 2: I mean, besides, right now, I'm texting with Eddie to
Speaker 2: meet up after this pod.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'll be with him. And by the way,
Speaker 3: where are you from?
Speaker 4: Where do you live?
Speaker 5: I live in l a O.
Speaker 4: You're local.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I live in Century City, so I'm not like
Speaker 6: super Well, actually you live in a valley right, I
Speaker 6: live in Okay. God, I don't know why I thought
Speaker 6: you lived in Pop Smoke's house or something like that.
Speaker 2: No, I used to Oh that was my house. We
Speaker 2: had rented it out to Pop Smoke.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, okay, I didn't realize wait, why.
Speaker 3: So he lived in your house?
Speaker 2: He So the backstory with the Pop Smoke thing was
Speaker 2: he it was rented under his manager's name, so we
Speaker 2: never knew Pop Smoke was staying there or anything like that,
Speaker 2: Like his manager rented the house.
Speaker 4: It was not Airbnb but like an Airbnb, and then.
Speaker 2: He on his social media posted like I guess he
Speaker 2: got like a delivery from Gucci or something like that,
Speaker 2: and posted the address to the house on his Instagram show.
Speaker 4: So whoever, you know.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly how it played out, but he had.
Speaker 2: That's this is just a PSA to you guys. Do
Speaker 2: not ever post your address to where you're staying on
Speaker 2: your social media. Somebody is watching, and that's how they
Speaker 2: ended up finding out he was staying at her house.
Speaker 2: But that day it was reported reported that there was,
Speaker 2: you know, a shooting in my home. It was because
Speaker 2: that was one of the houses that was where I
Speaker 2: was Season one of Beverly Hills.
Speaker 7: Got It, Got it?
Speaker 5: Got I got it?
Speaker 8: Ye.
Speaker 5: My last question, since you guys are doing the rewatch
Speaker 5: podcast as well, like now that you've watched enough Beverly Hills,
Speaker 5: like if you could have like your dream Beverly Hills cast, Like,
Speaker 5: what would both of yours be.
Speaker 3: Dream Beverly Hills cast for me? Maybe Teddy, Erica, Kyle, Lisa, Renna.
Speaker 3: I miss her, I miss her so much? Whom I'm missing?
Speaker 3: Oh am I missing?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: There's who's currently on Garcel Sutton? Do you want any
Speaker 2: of like Garcel Sutton, Kathy Garcel and Seas. I want
Speaker 2: to see you fight with them. They called you a
Speaker 2: nat Wait Teddy?
Speaker 6: Is there like a blast from the past though that
Speaker 6: like you never got to film it that you would
Speaker 6: want to film with if you were back.
Speaker 2: No. I what I can say though, is that I
Speaker 2: had more fun filming the one episode I didn't see
Speaker 2: than I probably did the majority of the time I
Speaker 2: was on Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4: I think on Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2: It's even though some of my very best friends are
Speaker 2: you know that are still my very best friends are
Speaker 2: on that show, there's just a different kind of dynamic,
Speaker 2: like an OC, they don't really give a ship like
Speaker 2: it just feels different.
Speaker 5: Hills is too serious. It's too serious.
Speaker 2: It's a little too serious, and I think, you know,
Speaker 2: it becomes a little bit more about the financial stuff
Speaker 2: and the lifestyle where I'm more, you know, scruffy and
Speaker 2: ready to fight it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you should be on Orange County.
Speaker 3: Well, so we're I'm written for it.
Speaker 4: What we're said, we have to go.
Speaker 5: No, You're so good. Thank you guys, so much, Thank
Speaker 5: you so fun.
Speaker 3: Have a great week.
Speaker 5: Bye.
Speaker 3: So Christina known as the Bravo Babe for her sweetly
Speaker 3: funny takes and memes and deep knowledge of pop culture
Speaker 3: across X and Instagram. You can hear it all on
Speaker 3: her Gossip with Bravo Babe podcast. Hi how are you?
Speaker 8: I'm so good. It's so good to talk to you, guys.
Speaker 4: Where you can have you? Where you at?
Speaker 8: I'm in northwest Indiana, so right outside of Chicago.
Speaker 4: Didn't you live in Indiana?
Speaker 1: Vic?
Speaker 4: I was born in Indiana. Did you just cookie?
Speaker 2: Vicky Teddy, I'm already paused.
Speaker 4: I'm just deceased.
Speaker 3: That has never happened.
Speaker 4: Oh oh my gosh, goodness. What questions do you have
Speaker 4: for us?
Speaker 8: Awesome? Well, Teddy, I'm going to start with you. I
Speaker 8: was wondering when you were on Beverly Hills Housewives and
Speaker 8: you look back on it, what is one episode that
Speaker 8: you can say you truly had a good time and
Speaker 8: if you could go back, you would just relive that experience.
Speaker 3: I know what that is.
Speaker 4: It's actually not Provence.
Speaker 2: It's not even though even though Provence was probably my
Speaker 2: where I was liked the most because I was such
Speaker 2: a shit show and out of control.
Speaker 4: But my favorite time we ever had together there was two.
Speaker 2: One was the beach House after we stopped filming, Like
Speaker 2: we all like my beach House my first season. We
Speaker 2: were all just hot messes dancing, having the best time,
Speaker 2: and so it was really fun. So that night was
Speaker 2: just like, that's because you were in Orange County. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well maybe because we were in Orange County. But then
Speaker 2: the other time was the night that we went camping
Speaker 2: and the RV where we all played like beer pong
Speaker 2: and we played games like.
Speaker 8: And he looked comfortable. You were like just in a
Speaker 8: very safe environment, just having a good you know time drinking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like and we had like we played pranks on
Speaker 2: each other, like nothing got too heated. We all shared
Speaker 2: stuff about ourselves like it didn't feel as stuff some
Speaker 2: of the other times failming.
Speaker 4: I mean, of course I had fun in.
Speaker 2: Provence because of who I was with, but it also
Speaker 2: felt like we were in a pressure cooker because there
Speaker 2: was only five of us that could be on the trip,
Speaker 2: so it was like, okay, and we were all close
Speaker 2: friends at the time, and we knew we were also
Speaker 2: making a television show.
Speaker 8: Right right well into my next question. And I think
Speaker 8: that that was a good episode to watch. It was fun,
Speaker 8: it was lighthearted, and I'm sure when the cameras were down,
Speaker 8: I mean, you guys probably continued it. And so that's nice.
Speaker 3: That's always nice eating.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So two teas in a Pod has been successful.
Speaker 8: I would say it's been major. But if Tamra was
Speaker 8: not your co host, is there somebody in the Housewives
Speaker 8: universe that you feel like you'd click with that you
Speaker 8: would have as your co host?
Speaker 3: Don't you answer that?
Speaker 2: No, I was gonna say the two teas in a
Speaker 2: pod doesn't exist without Tamraw. Like when when iHeart first
Speaker 2: came to me me and asked me if I would
Speaker 2: do a recap show, I said, yes, but the only
Speaker 2: way I'm doing is that if I do a Tamar Judge, yes, And.
Speaker 3: I even said before I went into surgery, if I died,
Speaker 3: I don't come out of it, do not replace me.
Speaker 2: So I mean I think that the reason I mean,
Speaker 2: we are so lucky that we've been able to both
Speaker 2: branch out and build more podcasts through Teason a Pod.
Speaker 2: But I think the reason why this show works, regardless
Speaker 2: if you're hating me or you're hating Tarmor from week
Speaker 2: to week, is that we are authentically who we are
Speaker 2: and we create a good show because we're not scared
Speaker 2: to show who we are. And that's what's actually entertaining.
Speaker 2: And I truly love Tamra. She's a good friend and
Speaker 2: I we couldn't have created it without each other, so
Speaker 2: I'm not even interested in thinking about that, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 3: I also get to see the unedited version of us,
Speaker 3: so like people will say, I like you so much
Speaker 3: better on the podcast than I do on Housewives, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, this is me, this is who I
Speaker 3: am on the podcast.
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, now a more fun question for you, Teddy
Speaker 8: before I start grilling Tamara. And I'm just kidding. If
Speaker 8: you were stranded on a desert island and you had
Speaker 8: to choose between these two people you had to choose,
Speaker 8: would you choose to be stranded with Camille Grammar or
Speaker 8: with Vicky Gumbleson?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, probably Vicky Gumbolson.
Speaker 4: Because probably even though Vicky.
Speaker 2: If I was stranded and I had to like figure
Speaker 2: it out for the rest of who knows how long,
Speaker 2: I would at least want there to be some fun
Speaker 2: times or whoop it up. And I just think it's
Speaker 2: impossible to little it up with Camille, Like I've never
Speaker 2: seen careful what you wish for. I mean, if there's
Speaker 2: no other humans involved to fight with, I feel like
Speaker 2: it would and no one to try to. I think
Speaker 2: the issue with Vicky is that she goes so far
Speaker 2: out of her way for the outside to see her
Speaker 2: as a certain way that then it becomes a problem
Speaker 2: she's going to start going after other people.
Speaker 4: But I think if you're.
Speaker 2: Just having conversation and having fun and you're one on one,
Speaker 2: she can be cool where Camille is lovely at times.
Speaker 3: I like Camille. I would have picked Camille.
Speaker 8: Okay, So let me just flip the switch then to Tamara,
Speaker 8: and I'll ask you, if you were on a deserted island,
Speaker 8: Shannon or Vicky.
Speaker 3: I would take Shannon one hundred percent.
Speaker 8: Shannon. I could see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would take Shannon before I take Vicky.
Speaker 8: So when talking about housewives in your time on the show,
Speaker 8: looking back is there something that happened or a storyline
Speaker 8: that you thought would make it to air and it
Speaker 8: just didn't air.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff that doesn't air. I would
Speaker 3: say one of the biggest things that didn't air was
Speaker 3: All Housewife event, which normally doesn't happen. If it's All Housewife,
Speaker 3: it's guaranteed to air. And that was a launch of
Speaker 3: my CBD business vienna, and that was like maybe five
Speaker 3: years ago. It you know, all the housewives were there,
Speaker 3: you know, drama happened, shit went down, and for some
Speaker 3: strange reason they cut it off and I never I
Speaker 3: did never understood why. I know there was some legalities
Speaker 3: with CBD and they weren't quite sure if it was
Speaker 3: okay to air or talk about CBD at that time.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was it. I never really
Speaker 3: got a straight answer because I think I was fired
Speaker 3: after that.
Speaker 8: We would have loved to see that. Though it was
Speaker 8: good an all housewife event, you never want to miss those.
Speaker 3: No, it was beautiful too.
Speaker 8: So an all Housewife of event is definitely the reunion,
Speaker 8: and Orange County has that coming up. And I am
Speaker 8: just curious who you think has the most to answer
Speaker 8: for so far we've seen a lot. But who do
Speaker 8: you think has the most to answer for?
Speaker 3: Oh, I think there's a lot of people are gonna
Speaker 3: have to be answering questions.
Speaker 8: Do we think that John Jansen will make an appearance.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 5: They could.
Speaker 8: He's got to bring out the boyfriends or the husband.
Speaker 3: No, they don't really do that in Orange County much.
Speaker 3: They sometimes they'll have like one come out well Brooks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's not like like the whole all the guys.
Speaker 3: I think that there's gonna be I think a lot
Speaker 3: of people are gonna have a lot. Everybody, every single person.
Speaker 8: There's not a good season.
Speaker 3: Everybody has things to answer, you know, people to answer too.
Speaker 3: I think everybody's got their their s to straighten out.
Speaker 4: So nice to meet you. Thank you so much, guys.
Speaker 8: I'll keep chatting with you through social media. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 8: in person. Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Bye bye. Our next guest is Samantha Bush, known as
Speaker 4: Bravo historian, known for her Bravo knowledge and slick memes,
Speaker 4: and as host of the Chronically Online podcast. She's also
Speaker 4: one half of the viral Teddy and Samantha Bush Bravo
Speaker 4: con fighting tweet. So, Samantha, do you realize how much
Speaker 4: trouble you got me in with my husband at bravocan.
Speaker 9: It wasn't me, but also it's so good to see
Speaker 9: use it's our fight. Oh no, that was so crazy.
Speaker 9: I was getting texts that weekend too, being like, are
Speaker 9: you okay?
Speaker 4: And I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. Why and they go, Sam,
Speaker 4: You've got a fight.
Speaker 9: I go, that's that wasn't the the fact that they
Speaker 9: actually believed it was us full.
Speaker 2: So to give you know, our listeners a little bit
Speaker 2: of a backstory, Samantha wrote something on Twitter kind of
Speaker 2: nasty about me, and I responded back something nasty like
Speaker 2: you still.
Speaker 4: Call on Twitter? You know we're just fighting.
Speaker 2: And then somebody else posted a video of two random
Speaker 2: girls in a house, not even like at a Bravo
Speaker 2: con like.
Speaker 3: Going at it. They're going around punching each other.
Speaker 4: Each other, punching each other out.
Speaker 2: It was two blondes, and within like thirty minutes the
Speaker 2: tweet goes viral.
Speaker 4: My husband's calling me, my dad's calling me.
Speaker 3: I was there when your dad called you.
Speaker 9: She's like John Mellencamp.
Speaker 3: John Mellencamp called and said what are you doing, Teddy?
Speaker 3: This is embarrassing. You cannot be fighting with women. She's
Speaker 3: like with people. But oh my god.
Speaker 9: Oh right, and it was like the most liked tweet
Speaker 9: of Bravo Con that year, and I'm like, were we
Speaker 9: in New York?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was just like, not.
Speaker 9: That's not what happens. Oh my god, that was crazy.
Speaker 9: But anyways, so good to see both of you are
Speaker 9: I'm great. Where are you writing for you? I'm in
Speaker 9: Detroit right in Hell, but I'm doing.
Speaker 3: Wait is that where you live.
Speaker 5: In Hell?
Speaker 4: Or Troy?
Speaker 9: Both?
Speaker 4: Girl?
Speaker 3: There, I've been to Detroit. It was kind of like hell, yeah.
Speaker 9: You know, the vibes are questionable here. But tam Or girl,
Speaker 9: I'm writing for you.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: What questions do you have?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: My question?
Speaker 9: Yeah, here are my questions. So my first question is
Speaker 9: what is a scene do you wish they didn't cut
Speaker 9: from your perspective? Shows that you wish like it would
Speaker 9: have given the audience like maybe a different perspective on
Speaker 9: a situation in a season.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean it's like every season because there's no
Speaker 3: way that they can they can show everything that you
Speaker 3: know has aired? Are we filmed? That's a tough one.
Speaker 3: I just answered a similar question to that, and that
Speaker 3: was they never showed My My Vina CBD launch, like
Speaker 3: five years ago. We had a huge party and it
Speaker 3: was never shown. So that was kind of disappointing that
Speaker 3: there's always stoff. You know, there's always stuff that in
Speaker 3: your mind you think it's important for it to be shown,
Speaker 3: but in the editor's mind, they're like, we only have
Speaker 3: so many minutes per episode and it's not going to
Speaker 3: be shown. But it's also like certain things you say
Speaker 3: and do it can totally change the viewer's mind. But
Speaker 3: I think they purposely do that, so when you do
Speaker 3: go to the reunion, you have a point proof.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah, I agree to.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think with every every single housewife, of course,
Speaker 2: wishes more of their storyline or whatever.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I hate when people even say storyline, but more of
Speaker 2: their life was shown, because if you're only seeing people
Speaker 2: fight and like turmoil with the other women, then it's
Speaker 2: really hard to relate to somebody or say like, I
Speaker 2: see their side. I think that's why oftentimes it's the
Speaker 2: second season curse, because the first season they show all
Speaker 2: of this outside stuff and you're like, wow, this is
Speaker 2: what I like about this person, and then second season
Speaker 2: they take away all your outside stuff and just show
Speaker 2: your shit, and that's like, I hate this person.
Speaker 4: She's the worst. So I think.
Speaker 3: That's There was a scene we had last year that
Speaker 3: my mom was trying on lingerie and she was doing
Speaker 3: like a little fashion show stretting around my seventy five
Speaker 3: year old mom and her launcherrette, which I thought, how
Speaker 3: in the world did that not make it?
Speaker 4: Because it was so.
Speaker 9: Shock they didn't keep that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know only fans right, Oh god, is there
Speaker 3: a like a geriatric only fan section?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're on it, tam you, I.
Speaker 3: Mean asking for a friend.
Speaker 9: And then my next question is how do you think
Speaker 9: social media has played a role in your shows? What
Speaker 9: do you wish you could change about it?
Speaker 3: That social media can go away, that's really what I wish,
Speaker 3: that there'd be some glitch in the system and be
Speaker 3: totally wiped out. I think that that that plays with
Speaker 3: our heads because there's a lot of fanatics out there
Speaker 3: that they're with. Their preaching on social media is not
Speaker 3: what the normal person on the street or my next
Speaker 3: door neighbor or you know, whoever it's they They they're
Speaker 3: nasty and mean and they can beat you down when
Speaker 3: you you know, sometimes you're not having a good day
Speaker 3: and you're just getting your ass served to you and
Speaker 3: it's just so mean and nasty. It can get to you.
Speaker 3: It can play like on your mental health, and I
Speaker 3: just you got it all to me. I have to
Speaker 3: always remind myself that these people are not normal people.
Speaker 3: These people making these horrible comments. When was the last
Speaker 3: time any of you guys got on social media and
Speaker 3: just said, well, not you two.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I could probably figure that out quickly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's horrible shit like who watches the Kardashians and
Speaker 3: just goes, you know, you are a piece of shit?
Speaker 3: Like who does that? Not normal people?
Speaker 4: And I think that there's two different aspects.
Speaker 2: I think as watching, you know, as a viewer now
Speaker 2: and recapping it. I hate to see a housewife that
Speaker 2: you're watching censor themselves because of the backlash. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: where they pandered the audience. That's where I think social
Speaker 2: media has done it wrong, because now we're not getting
Speaker 2: the authentic selves. I think we saw like a really
Speaker 2: great housewife and to eat I thought she was great,
Speaker 2: and then the audience just beat her to the point
Speaker 2: of like she became something else, and then you know,
Speaker 2: now maybe she's getting back to where she was before
Speaker 2: when we first started viewing.
Speaker 4: But then I think.
Speaker 2: Also people start to feel a little bit too entitled
Speaker 2: or too bold to say things they would never say
Speaker 2: in person. Like I really try to make a point
Speaker 2: of only saying things on social media that I would
Speaker 2: actually really say to somebody, and I just don't think
Speaker 2: that's the case. It's like I would never tell somebody
Speaker 2: I wish they would die.
Speaker 3: No, that is really true. Yeah, but it happens all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I want to fight for rights on
Speaker 3: social media like that. They should have some kind of
Speaker 3: something like, you know, zero tolerance if you're saying things
Speaker 3: like I hope you die and things like that gone
Speaker 3: never come back.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you think there would be like more censorship around that,
Speaker 9: but there is not.
Speaker 3: You can but if you put THHC on there, they'll
Speaker 3: they'll shadow ban you in a second. Trust me.
Speaker 4: I know. I had to block out.
Speaker 2: The clown face because so many people would respond clowns
Speaker 2: on my No, you can't try it, you can't write clown,
Speaker 2: it won't show up.
Speaker 4: Oh my god?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 3: Actually is it the emoji or the actual emoji clown?
Speaker 9: That's amazing and kind of like in like the same
Speaker 9: vein with that question is like, do you think Bravo
Speaker 9: listens to fans on social media too much? Like when
Speaker 9: it comes to casting or anything like that.
Speaker 3: You know, I often wonder that, and that's I'm like,
Speaker 3: do they really? I know they do focus groups, but
Speaker 3: who's in that focus group? Are these people that are
Speaker 3: you know, the fanatics that are writing horrible shit on
Speaker 3: social media because you know, I got fired because everybody
Speaker 3: on social media is saying get rid of her, get
Speaker 3: rid of her. And then when I was gone, then
Speaker 3: they're like, bring her back, bring her back. Then I'm
Speaker 3: back and they're like, get rid of her, get rid
Speaker 3: of her. I'm like, I can't win.
Speaker 4: I know when it's crazy. I was just thinking that.
Speaker 9: Uh yesterday I was like writing on my Instagram that
Speaker 9: people are always saying we want the shows to be
Speaker 9: back how they used to be. But I'm like, if
Speaker 9: social media was the same way it was then like
Speaker 9: it is now, it would people would be saying the
Speaker 9: same things.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, It's same thing.
Speaker 9: It's You're never gonna win, no season.
Speaker 4: One Beverly Hills, Like, no way.
Speaker 9: I would be getting annihilated for that limo scene, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like it just she's into the things they showed. How heavy?
Speaker 9: Oh Taylor.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Our next guest is here's but you can ask one
Speaker 2: last question Samantha before we bring her in.
Speaker 9: My last question is why do you think people don't
Speaker 9: respect their villains or like their villains quote on the.
Speaker 3: Show, Because I don't know. I think most people that
Speaker 3: get it get it. Like I said, oh, so if
Speaker 3: I'm not challenging what everybody's saying, like Shannon's drinking and
Speaker 3: all the other stuff, Ryan all that stuff, So what
Speaker 3: would we be doing. We would be doing yoga in
Speaker 3: holding hands Like who wants to watch that?
Speaker 5: God?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think that. But also I think we people are
Speaker 2: forgetting the point. We're watching these shows as an escape
Speaker 2: from our lives. If everybody was just if you wanted
Speaker 2: to watch everybody happy diy projects go to HGTV, Like
Speaker 2: you're watching this for a specific reason, and that's to
Speaker 2: have a villain. That's to have your favorite, that's to
Speaker 2: have the chaotic but whatever it may be, respect it.
Speaker 2: That's what you're wanting. If you're not getting the drama.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna like it.
Speaker 9: Well that right, then it's a boring season.
Speaker 3: Then it's a boring season. So it's like god, it's
Speaker 3: it's it is annoying.
Speaker 8: Oh right.
Speaker 3: So next we have Georgio Says, known for his viral
Speaker 3: bra celebrity newsreels in tiktoks. He's never afraid to spill
Speaker 3: the tea and keeps it real. He's one of my
Speaker 3: favorites there.
Speaker 8: He is.
Speaker 4: Hi, Hi, guys, Hi, are you.
Speaker 3: Waiting too long?
Speaker 7: No, not at all. I can't complain.
Speaker 3: So where are you right now?
Speaker 10: I'm at home in my home studio. I live just
Speaker 10: right outside of DC. We sold our condo there in
Speaker 10: twenty twenty and bought our home. When we had to
Speaker 10: start working together in the same space. My partner and
Speaker 10: I almost killed each other, so we.
Speaker 4: Had a house true crime.
Speaker 5: But we love.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 3: I love your background, I love your reels, I love
Speaker 3: your Instagram, I love the TikTok, I love it all.
Speaker 3: You're always so spot on.
Speaker 7: If you, guys didn't exist, then I wouldn't be able.
Speaker 3: To do what I do so, but not most people
Speaker 3: are not spot You're pretty spot on, and you do
Speaker 3: your homework.
Speaker 5: Too, like you dig up shit.
Speaker 7: I kind of want to do like a PI.
Speaker 10: But like, yeah, just because I'm very incognitive, I feel
Speaker 10: like nobody would know if I was in the restaurant
Speaker 10: why I would be there. But anyways, yes, I like
Speaker 10: to get to the bottom of things because there is
Speaker 10: a lot of clickbait. There's a lot of clipped things
Speaker 10: that I've always noticed that no one ever appeals back
Speaker 10: the layer.
Speaker 4: So so what questions do you have for either one
Speaker 4: of us?
Speaker 10: So I have a question for each of you and
Speaker 10: then one for both if that's okay, perfect, So I'll
Speaker 10: start with Tamra. So, Tamra, I've always wanted to know
Speaker 10: since you were on OC then we're off and came
Speaker 10: back on has or how has your perspective changed since
Speaker 10: coming back the second time around?
Speaker 3: Actually a really good question. I'm not afraid of getting
Speaker 3: fired because now I know that I can survive. So
Speaker 3: that that's one good thing. You know, I always had
Speaker 3: that fear of, you know, getting fired, and you know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel good. Let's face it, even if you
Speaker 3: want maybe you were at your end, maybe you're like,
Speaker 3: I don't know if I really want to do this anymore.
Speaker 3: I was really on the fence, like I don't know.
Speaker 3: I even contemplating at the reunion that year saying, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm I need to be done. And I
Speaker 3: ended up getting fired and it was devastating and it
Speaker 3: took me probably a year to get over it. And
Speaker 3: then I got Ultimate Girls Trip and then because I
Speaker 3: thought like I'm never going to get anything ever again,
Speaker 3: this is it, I'm done, And I ended up getting
Speaker 3: Ultimate Girls Trip and got asked back and now I'm back.
Speaker 3: And when I did go back, I felt the need
Speaker 3: to perform because I felt like the show was in
Speaker 3: the shitter. If I come back and the ratings that
Speaker 3: go up, it's gonna be on me. So I built
Speaker 3: a lot of stress last season and that's why I
Speaker 3: drank too much.
Speaker 4: But it worked.
Speaker 10: No, that's a good perspective to have because if you
Speaker 10: already know what it's like to not have it and
Speaker 10: then have it back, then you don't fear it going
Speaker 10: away as much because you already know that there's life after,
Speaker 10: which I think would be scary if you didn't know
Speaker 10: anything outside of it.
Speaker 3: So let's yeah, I mean, I obviously know there's life after.
Speaker 3: I think back then we had just started our CBD business.
Speaker 3: Our Jim was doing okay. My salary was very high.
Speaker 3: I had just bought, you know, very expensive house, so
Speaker 3: there was a lot of you know, shit riding on it,
Speaker 3: ye writing on it. Now, the CBD is doing amazing.
Speaker 3: Podcast is amazing. You know, the show is amazing too.
Speaker 3: But I don't have that fear for sure.
Speaker 7: No, that's great. And then when I say.
Speaker 3: Performing, I don't mean like I'm acting. It just means
Speaker 3: like I felt like I had to be on the
Speaker 3: entire time.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I can understand that too, because I
Speaker 10: think you were coming in after someone else was brought back,
Speaker 10: so it's like, you know, this one was weighing a
Speaker 10: little bit more. But I think like it's good perspective
Speaker 10: that you have on this whole situation to understand how
Speaker 10: they all are separated from each other, not so much
Speaker 10: all connected, Like you can do other things outside of
Speaker 10: this if it weren't to go on. So for sure, Teddy,
Speaker 10: I always wanted to pick your brain. So you were
Speaker 10: on reality TV, You're not on reality TV.
Speaker 7: You're doing this.
Speaker 10: How does having the inside perspective or how did that
Speaker 10: inside perspective kind of help with giving your opinion, whether
Speaker 10: it was solicited or not on this podcast, Like, how
Speaker 10: did you utilize that experience and channel it into doing
Speaker 10: this well?
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess the best way to describe it
Speaker 2: is like, if you're watching a sports broadcaster, aren't you
Speaker 2: always going to appreciate a little bit more if they
Speaker 2: played the sport? Yeah, yea, they if they were in it,
Speaker 2: they at least they've tasted it, they know what it
Speaker 2: is they because then I can, at least, you know,
Speaker 2: give the perspective of.
Speaker 4: You know, I can be hard on people.
Speaker 2: When I can be hard on them, but I can
Speaker 2: also be empathetic and understanding that this is their first
Speaker 2: season or this is what it feels like when you
Speaker 2: come in and you don't really know anyone. I feel
Speaker 2: like I have a pretty good read on when somebody's
Speaker 2: being authentic versus being pandering to the audience, because I
Speaker 2: felt like I did both. I felt like when I
Speaker 2: first came in, I didn't really know. I wasn't comfortable,
Speaker 2: and so then I wasn't necessarily myself, and then.
Speaker 4: I wasn't that I was acting. I just didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what I didn't know. And I think
Speaker 2: that I can give people room that are in that
Speaker 2: same situation. Like we're watching Katie on OC this year.
Speaker 2: I feel like at first.
Speaker 4: I'm like oh, and then I'm like, well, no, she
Speaker 4: doesn't know what she doesn't know.
Speaker 2: Hopefully she'll stop with all of this, like we don't
Speaker 2: care about the paparazzis story anymore.
Speaker 4: We're done, We've.
Speaker 2: Moved on, Like I still can understand, Like you don't
Speaker 2: like until you watch that shit back.
Speaker 4: Then you're like, God, I really drugged that out too long, which,
Speaker 4: to be fair, I.
Speaker 10: Feel like that whole thing's my fault because if I
Speaker 10: didn't make that TikTok post, she wouldn't have found it
Speaker 10: and found it funny to send to her friend.
Speaker 7: So I'll take.
Speaker 3: You've actually cast some shit on this show this season.
Speaker 7: I clearly have. I did it on Potomaca a couple
Speaker 7: of seasons back too, with one what's that for you?
Speaker 3: I feel like producers have reached out to you to
Speaker 3: get clearance on some of.
Speaker 10: Your push out for sure, which wasn't my best look.
Speaker 10: But then I will leave you guys with the question
Speaker 10: for both of you, since you guys both host this podcast,
Speaker 10: are there ever any guests that have just off the
Speaker 10: bat been like this is off limits no matter what
Speaker 10: before coming on, and has that ultimately made you guys
Speaker 10: decide whether or not you want to bring that guest.
Speaker 8: On or not.
Speaker 2: I feel like anytime we've gotten one hundred percent, you
Speaker 2: can't talk about this, correct me if I'm wrong, tamp
Speaker 2: we don't have them on.
Speaker 3: I feel like there was somebody that said I'm not Yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't remember who it was, but there was someone
Speaker 3: what's the point of having them on?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Then I was like, well we don't want them then?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: There are people that have come forward, maybe not for
Speaker 2: to teas in a pod, but on the twat seat
Speaker 2: where they will say yeah.
Speaker 3: They're in there, yeah they're in the press because it's
Speaker 3: something that was happening in their life.
Speaker 2: But I think more times than somebody coming on and
Speaker 2: saying it's off limits, is that they come on and
Speaker 2: they're two media trained and then that's the worst.
Speaker 4: You're like dragging information out of them. I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: why are you doing press?
Speaker 2: Then I'm not saying you need to spill, learn how
Speaker 2: to share something of interest because at this point I
Speaker 2: feel like we're in a job.
Speaker 4: Interview and you're not getting the job.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Media trained is the worst.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the worst.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just a bunch of it's a bunch of words.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a big old nothing burgers what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody from, somebody from most of the time, once
Speaker 2: they get booted, then they come on and they'll they'll
Speaker 2: share a little bit and you're like.
Speaker 4: I want the book come out. Will promote that and
Speaker 4: then let's keep it going.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 3: I like the interviews like Monica.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Monica was great.
Speaker 3: Monica is the Salt Lake City because she will say
Speaker 3: anything she does not care.
Speaker 4: But also the good thing between the two of us,
Speaker 4: one of us is going to ask the hard question
Speaker 4: and most likely they're not going to like both of us,
Speaker 4: but they'll like one of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So then I guess.
Speaker 10: That's that's the best part of having a duo is
Speaker 10: one can kind of shift off the other if a
Speaker 10: guest doesn't particularly like one.
Speaker 7: So that's cool.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 10: I really I enjoy Your Guys' podcast really because it's
Speaker 10: helped motivate me and help want me to elevate and
Speaker 10: do better things.
Speaker 7: And so I truly do. I think it's it's such
Speaker 7: a spot.
Speaker 3: On now your podcast, Like I mean, on Instagram, you
Speaker 3: do your reels and you have like information, like you
Speaker 3: have papers. I'm like, what does he attorney or somebody
Speaker 3: that's printing out this information?
Speaker 4: How the hell it's not you don't even know how
Speaker 4: to print stuff over here?
Speaker 10: I do, But red guys, I've utilized AI to keep
Speaker 10: me organized with that stuff. So legal documents, I have
Speaker 10: AI thing that reads it, condenses it, gives me the
Speaker 10: bullet points and then explains things.
Speaker 4: Wow, we need to learn how to understand.
Speaker 10: I don't understand a If you ever, if you ever
Speaker 10: need anything legal, gender or like a document, you want
Speaker 10: to just understand what the point of this one was,
Speaker 10: just send it to me and I'll get it done.
Speaker 7: I always send it to you tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Draf Georgia says, because he has.
Speaker 7: All I find all the information, I can probably find who.
Speaker 8: I mean.
Speaker 7: I found my godmother who went missing uh for like
Speaker 7: six years.
Speaker 10: I found her through uh my various ways and found
Speaker 10: out that she actually has dementia. So that's why we
Speaker 10: couldn't find her, and that's why she didn't call it.
Speaker 10: But nonetheless, yes, I can find whoever.
Speaker 4: I can very our DMS with your phone number so
Speaker 4: we can have you do something.
Speaker 10: Well, I will definitely give you'll give you. Just to clarify,
Speaker 10: no one on this podcast is paying me.
Speaker 7: Just clear.
Speaker 10: We're not for everybody. We're just I'm getting all these
Speaker 10: paychecks from everybody. It's like they do yes all day
Speaker 10: every day. They're like, I know what's going on here.
Speaker 10: It happened with Margaret Josephs because she commented happy birthday
Speaker 10: end of the post I did for my mom or something,
Speaker 10: and someone circle that sent it to me and was like,
Speaker 10: this is why I knew she was paying you. She's
Speaker 10: commenting under your mom's brid my feed. I didn't think
Speaker 10: it was anywhere.
Speaker 7: It's just hilarious. No, it's just hilarious because everyone thinks
Speaker 7: that everyone's paying someone off.
Speaker 4: We'd all be a lot richer.
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 7: I think we'd all be in a I wouldn't be here,
Speaker 7: we'd all be on.
Speaker 2: Our private jets somewhere, absolutely not doing this pod. But
Speaker 2: thank you guys so much. It was nice meeting you
Speaker 2: in person.
Speaker 3: And meeting you actual person. But we met a braba
Speaker 3: con right.
Speaker 7: Yes, and I actually I have to apologize.
Speaker 10: I called you Teddy by accident and it was such
Speaker 10: a because I was just talking about Teddy shoes behind
Speaker 10: you and I.
Speaker 7: Was like ted and You're like, it's.
Speaker 4: Does you and Ramona have that in common?
Speaker 3: That's about it though.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, thank you, Thank you so much, by guys,
Speaker 4: Thank you bye.
Speaker 2: Our last guests are Leslie and Mario known as Mario
Speaker 2: Kiki and Mommy Roue. They're best known for their bold
Speaker 2: Twitter hot takes, and they've taken it to the next
Speaker 2: level with their podcast East.
Speaker 4: And West with Mario and les Guys. Bye hye.
Speaker 3: We're so happy to be here, excited to be here,
Speaker 3: you guys, I've been so nervous, all so embarrassed.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, tell us well the best for last year
Speaker 4: A last guests?
Speaker 3: Howf a new record?
Speaker 8: We do?
Speaker 11: Usually we do once a week, but we're kind of
Speaker 11: of the mindset but until somebody is paying us if
Speaker 11: we have to take a week or two off, but
Speaker 11: that's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 4: If there are other things going on.
Speaker 11: I mean, you can't always, you know, especially since we're
Speaker 11: both on opposite coasts. The timing isn't always the best.
Speaker 4: There he is, Hi, Oh we've met before, we have.
Speaker 12: I'm so sorry you We have.
Speaker 4: Did you just say, I'm so sorry. You remember that.
Speaker 8: Ort?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: I feel like we met her at the Ganza ort.
Speaker 12: Yes, I met Teddy and Tamra. I went to their
Speaker 12: San Francisco show.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, yea yeah, and then we saw each
Speaker 3: other at Brovo. We've seen each other a few times.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've been around.
Speaker 12: We've been around. I've been following Tamra since she joined
Speaker 12: the show, so I feel like I know her. But
Speaker 12: when I met her, you look enough, thank you. But
Speaker 12: when I met Tamara, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 12: this is not who I thought I was watching. And
Speaker 12: so honestly, meeting Tamara in twenty nineteen was what like
Speaker 12: recalibrated my perception of Housewives, the show, the expectations, and
Speaker 12: learning what really is going on behind everything. So it
Speaker 12: was a great experience.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you so much everybody. So many people say that,
Speaker 3: like even if I go to restaurants, it'd be like
Speaker 3: sending me shots. I'm like, oh no, I don't do shots,
Speaker 3: so like, what, yeah, I've seen you on that show,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, yeah, normally even on the show, I
Speaker 3: don't drink.
Speaker 7: I'm so.
Speaker 11: I would be drinking on the show if I had
Speaker 11: to be on that show too, though I can imagine
Speaker 11: it's very.
Speaker 3: There's a fine line there, Leslie. It's a fine line.
Speaker 3: You drink sure, and then you drink too much and
Speaker 3: then you're just a complete ass and.
Speaker 9: Then it's not good. Yeah, it's definitely not good.
Speaker 3: I can imagine guilty of that quite often.
Speaker 12: But let me tell you, it depends what you asked, Tamra,
Speaker 12: if you drink too much or not. You know what
Speaker 12: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding, right, gosh, all right, guys, what questions
Speaker 4: do you have for us?
Speaker 11: Okay, so I'll go first, I suppose, And my question
Speaker 11: was just because I have a family and kids, how
Speaker 11: has being in the public I impacted your family dynamics
Speaker 11: and what steps do you guys take to protect your
Speaker 11: family from the negative aspects of everything that goes on?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: For me, the kids went on the show for a
Speaker 3: long period of time. I try not to talk about
Speaker 3: the show in front of them. We live a very simple,
Speaker 3: normal life. I don't.
Speaker 4: They I don't know.
Speaker 3: They just don't know any different, Like Sofia. Since Sophia
Speaker 3: was two years old, I was a housewife. In fact,
Speaker 3: when I got fired, she's like, Mom, you know, I've
Speaker 3: only known you as a housewife, you know, think about it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm not the type that's
Speaker 3: walking red carpets and being glad every single day.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm in my sweatshirt and my clippy and my hair
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go to the thrift store with my
Speaker 3: daughter after this and head over to tr Joe's. You know,
Speaker 3: it's usually my daughter Sophia will say, Mom, that person
Speaker 3: they just stay in your name or they're recognizing you.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, just we lived just this very
Speaker 3: simple life life.
Speaker 11: I'm teddy, what about you?
Speaker 2: Uh? For me, my kids are much younger, so I
Speaker 2: think that it's not necessarily being on a show or
Speaker 2: being in the public eye. For me, it's about working
Speaker 2: and not being available to them. So whether it's doing
Speaker 2: a TV show, doing a podcast, being away for work, like,
Speaker 2: it's just being kind of open with them about what
Speaker 2: our weeks are like. So as long as I like,
Speaker 2: I have a month calendar, I keep it by the
Speaker 2: front door and it's like mommy gone or this blot
Speaker 2: so they.
Speaker 4: Can look at it. Such a good idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, the unknown is what kind of causes all
Speaker 2: of us stress, right, and when you kind of set
Speaker 2: their expectations, I think things change, It's true. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: and and that's that's a big part to me. And
Speaker 2: then also just kind of going with the flow. Like
Speaker 2: my daughter Slate loves so like loves when I put
Speaker 2: her on social media, she's like she wants because she
Speaker 2: has these big goals in her question in life, where
Speaker 2: Cruise is like, he'll tell me when he wants it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all half my kids are answer does not
Speaker 3: like the public. Eye does not want to be on
Speaker 3: the show. He at eighteen, he came on for a
Speaker 3: couple episodes. He's like, Nope, not for me. And he's like,
Speaker 3: no thanks. Mom even went to watch her happy vibe.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't sit in the audience. He's like, nope, that camera's
Speaker 3: gonna catch me.
Speaker 7: I just know it.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 4: And Sophia is a little.
Speaker 3: Bit different now that she she's turning nineteen in a
Speaker 3: week and she wants to be on the show and
Speaker 3: she doesn't mind. She has to approve the social media posts, right,
Speaker 3: I can't just post anything.
Speaker 4: She's got to see it.
Speaker 3: She got to prove it.
Speaker 4: And that's that's about it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, okay, thank you great answers, ladies.
Speaker 12: Well more pertinent to reality TV as a whole, because
Speaker 12: I feel like it often blurs the line between real
Speaker 12: and what's crafted. And since you've both been in the
Speaker 12: spotlight this long, how do you navigate staying true to
Speaker 12: yourself while also meeting or managing the expectations of audiences?
Speaker 12: Because I know that we want the drama even though
Speaker 12: we pretend we don't, and especially I think tam Ray,
Speaker 12: you're always accused online of the storyline and producing, and
Speaker 12: so how do you make a city factor that comes
Speaker 12: with expectation?
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I don't produce anything. Me and
Speaker 3: Teddy had this conversation I think earlier.
Speaker 5: I am not.
Speaker 3: First of all, I can't. My memory is so bad,
Speaker 3: and I just kind of fly by the seat of
Speaker 3: my pants. I wish that I would produce myself, because
Speaker 3: i'd probably come off a little bit better. I am
Speaker 3: just very you know. I speak my mind, I say
Speaker 3: what I have to say, and I don't really sugarcoat shit,
Speaker 3: and I never have I lived my life like that.
Speaker 3: I would be acting if I went on the show
Speaker 3: and acted like, oh well, I'm not going to talk
Speaker 3: about that. No, we're on reality TV, and you know,
Speaker 3: within boundaries like I'm not going to go and talk
Speaker 3: about somebody's child or you know, something horrible like that.
Speaker 3: But there are certain things that are obviously off limits,
Speaker 3: and there's certain things that you know, what if you
Speaker 3: are that dumb that you've done that and you're gonna
Speaker 3: come on really TV, well you're gonna get your sweet ass.
Speaker 3: Everybody's going to talk about it, and I would expect
Speaker 3: the same, like you know, I would expect the same.
Speaker 3: So wait, what was your original question.
Speaker 12: To stay true to yourself while also managing what the
Speaker 12: expectations of the audience is, Like, how do you do
Speaker 12: you ever feel pressure to do the most not just
Speaker 12: not do the most? But like talked about felt pressure back,
Speaker 12: but I mean, yeah.
Speaker 3: When I came back, I definitely had pressure because the
Speaker 3: show was was sunk low, and then I came back
Speaker 3: and I thought, oh god, what if it doesn't get
Speaker 3: any better, that's just going to be on me. And
Speaker 3: I didn't want that to happen. You know, for me,
Speaker 3: there's there's there's two me's. There's me just the normal
Speaker 3: sweatshirt girl and pony towel.
Speaker 4: And then there's me.
Speaker 3: They can have a few drinks and it's like truth
Speaker 3: serum to me, and anything and everything might possibly come
Speaker 3: out of my mouth at any given moment and sometimes
Speaker 3: doesn't land well, but it is what it is, so
Speaker 3: that that's my truth serum.
Speaker 12: Do you care that we that I, as your fans,
Speaker 12: call ourselves the tam Rats? Is that offensive? Because now
Speaker 12: I know that you don't care when they call you
Speaker 12: that online?
Speaker 5: Like where the tam Rats? We're here to defend.
Speaker 4: No, we love tam Rats.
Speaker 3: Tell me yeah, I love that. I love it. No,
Speaker 3: I know it's crazy. I feel like this season I
Speaker 3: haven't particularly done anything all that bad. Screamed across the table,
Speaker 3: called somebody an acoholic. But I have gotten more shit
Speaker 3: this season where I have lit in years we have
Speaker 3: Where's some liieh. I've got more ship this season than
Speaker 3: I have gotten. I don't think in any damn season.
Speaker 3: I was n asshole last season, I'll admit that. But
Speaker 3: the hate that I'm getting in the season and then
Speaker 3: I have bots that are coming after me, I think
Speaker 3: it's out of control.
Speaker 12: I think what gets lost in translation sometimes for the
Speaker 12: viewers is they get so fixated on your reaction, whether
Speaker 12: it's yours or some other quote unquote villain, as opposed
Speaker 12: to focusing on the action that you're reacting to. And
Speaker 12: so that's what right I've discussed on the pod, and
Speaker 12: it's like, why are we so mad at Tamar for
Speaker 12: reacting to something horrible that her friend did and not
Speaker 12: what her friend did?
Speaker 4: Like, why are we not right?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: I and I haven't.
Speaker 3: Also, I found out that because I am friends with
Speaker 3: Alexus and Alexis right now, this season is not coming
Speaker 3: off very well. So I'm also a little bit guilty
Speaker 3: by association too, and people think like, oh, she's only
Speaker 3: friends with Alexis to get to Shannon. No, I was
Speaker 3: friends with Alexis before I had a falling out with Shannon.
Speaker 2: But I also think sometimes you will see something in yourself,
Speaker 2: Like so if you're in a situation where you're potentially
Speaker 2: may be drinking too much too much, and you're doing
Speaker 2: these things and then you see somebody on the show
Speaker 2: doing it, and then somebody comes at them.
Speaker 4: For it, and then all of a sudden, you take
Speaker 4: it personally. It's a personal attack on you.
Speaker 2: And I think that is what we do. It's human nature.
Speaker 2: If you see something in yourself with somebody else on television. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you'll all of a sudden are like, why is Tamara
Speaker 2: coming at me? And I'm like, well, actually, I'm not
Speaker 2: on the show. She's not coming at me.
Speaker 5: There's nothing to do with me.
Speaker 4: Take it very personally. Why am I taking it so personally?
Speaker 2: I think that's what happens so much these days, is
Speaker 2: like we're watching the show, you relate to somebody and
Speaker 2: then you fight their battles for them mmmm hm.
Speaker 4: And Mario and I discuss this a lot.
Speaker 11: We don't understand why nobody is making Shannon be accountable
Speaker 11: for the things that she's been doing. So it's like,
Speaker 11: I don't understand all the hate towards Tamara. You're just
Speaker 11: being honest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 12: I had another question as far as success and how
Speaker 12: you define it outside of social media and the show, Like,
Speaker 12: what's something personal that you've achieved that means the most
Speaker 12: to you right now?
Speaker 4: And that's my gosh.
Speaker 3: I think that it's just having, you know, a solid family,
Speaker 3: two kids that just graduated from college, one that's in college,
Speaker 3: extremely successful business a. You know, I feel like I
Speaker 3: am quite stable overall, and just I don't take all this,
Speaker 3: you know, Hollywood shit that's serious, doesn't really mean that
Speaker 3: much to me. To me, it's just a job. But
Speaker 3: you know, just being a good person and raising good kids,
Speaker 3: to me, that's success and having a successful marriage and
Speaker 3: and all beating the like having all that when everybody's
Speaker 3: against you and trying to break you down, call you
Speaker 3: a horrible mother, saying that you know your marriage is
Speaker 3: falling apart, all these things, and to me, I feel
Speaker 3: like I'm I'm winning.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 4: For me, it's that no matter what it is, like,
Speaker 4: I yes.
Speaker 2: I of course I'm grateful for my family and my
Speaker 2: life and my friendships that I've been able to maintain
Speaker 2: for you know, the majority of my life and the
Speaker 2: people that matter, they really matter.
Speaker 4: That is something I'm very grateful for.
Speaker 2: But in regards to like the success aspect, I'm appreciative
Speaker 2: that I have a platform where I can share. I
Speaker 2: think one of the biggest things that you know, has
Speaker 2: helped me get through some of the hard times or
Speaker 2: some of the hate, has been able to share, you know,
Speaker 2: whether it's my anxiety or my journey with melanoma or
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and know that other people are taking
Speaker 2: action on their own health, on their own fitness journey,
Speaker 2: on their own skin cancer awareness, whatever it may be,
Speaker 2: I think is truly a blessing. I'm like, whatever shit
Speaker 2: I've done in my life, at least I'm able to
Speaker 2: give back in this way by sharing. And there's other
Speaker 2: people that don't feel.
Speaker 4: Like they're alone.
Speaker 2: So for me, that's I've been really grateful for it
Speaker 2: because it's all will help my anxiety to be able
Speaker 2: to share versus hold it all in and pretend that
Speaker 2: everything's perfect all the time.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm sure I think that's great for other people.
Speaker 11: I've seen so many people thank you for sharing as
Speaker 11: well as well as the people that are yelling at you.
Speaker 3: I can't like they're either yelling at us or applauding us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's really no middle.
Speaker 9: Guys, thank you so much for having us.
