Speaker 1: It's with Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling. Hello again friends,
Speaker 1: another episode of Beverly Hills nine O two on oh
Speaker 1: means another episode of nine O two and O M
Speaker 1: g uh, it's me Jenny, and I'm I'm again not
Speaker 1: without my usual co host, but I'm very excited because
Speaker 1: I have a super cool uh co host with me today.
Speaker 1: She's a fellow Midwestern girl that's my understanding anyway, and
Speaker 1: she's somewhat turned Beverly Hills like myself. Um, please help me.
Speaker 1: Welcome Teddy Mellencamp. Hi, Teddy, Hi, and you are right.
Speaker 1: I was born in Bloomington, Indiana. Now have lived in
Speaker 1: California longer than anywhere else I've ever lived. So this
Speaker 1: is my now new home. I know. But don't you
Speaker 1: feel like you're still a Midwestern girl like in your roots?
Speaker 1: I do, especially when I'm like when I go on
Speaker 1: a walk or something and I smile or say hi,
Speaker 1: and somebody looks at me like I'm an absolute lunatic,
Speaker 1: Because first, you know, it's just a different vibe out here.
Speaker 1: It really is. I mean, you think we'd be used
Speaker 1: to it, but I mean because I've been here a really,
Speaker 1: really long time, too, meaning here meaning l A, California, whatever,
Speaker 1: But it just is like a different vibe in the Midwest.
Speaker 1: People are a little bit different and rightly so, I
Speaker 1: mean like they're not this is l A man. Things
Speaker 1: are all bets are off here. Yeah, everybody's on one.
Speaker 1: I mean every time my dad comes out here to visit,
Speaker 1: he's like, how do you sit in this traffic? How
Speaker 1: do you live like this? Because he still lives in Indiana,
Speaker 1: and it's like lucky bastard. But I go and then
Speaker 1: after like a week, then I kind of missed the
Speaker 1: hustle and bustle, and I'm like, all right, I see
Speaker 1: why I live there, but I see why. It's also
Speaker 1: great to raise a family in the Midwest. Yes, I
Speaker 1: know I miss it too when I leave, but not
Speaker 1: that much. So Teddy Um, it's my understanding that you
Speaker 1: were or are a fan of the O G nine
Speaker 1: two one oh. Is that correct? Yes? And this is
Speaker 1: the most frightening part is I was doing the math
Speaker 1: and I realized that I was like the world's biggest
Speaker 1: fan of watching it when I was like twelve years old.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, yeah, were you like six years
Speaker 1: old when you watched it? Because well No. Twelve was
Speaker 1: like the episode we were talking about today. I was
Speaker 1: twelve years old, and I'm like, gosh, the things I
Speaker 1: don't let my kids watch now. But yet I grew
Speaker 1: up watching nine O two and oh and learned so
Speaker 1: many things because of it. But like no one was
Speaker 1: monitoring what I was doing and what I was watching.
Speaker 1: I think I still remember, like, was it Wednesday nights,
Speaker 1: eight pm? Yes, I think, so that is a problem.
Speaker 1: That's a good memory right there. Yeah, So I loved it.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad. Yeah I was. I was. I'm just
Speaker 1: happy to hear that you liked it. And I was thinking, like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, she must have been so young and
Speaker 1: she must have learned a lot of things good and
Speaker 1: bad from the show. So but I think that's so important,
Speaker 1: Like you know, nine or two and I actually went there.
Speaker 1: They had all those conversations, whether it's gonna control abortion,
Speaker 1: eating disorders, like I remember growing up, I rode horses,
Speaker 1: and I struggled myself, and I remember seeing those topics
Speaker 1: and not feeling like so alone or so confused, and
Speaker 1: it kind of opened the door for all of us
Speaker 1: to have those conversations, whether it be the conversation between
Speaker 1: Donna and Kelly, but it's really us talking through each
Speaker 1: other because it was shown now, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: see that very often where shows feel comfortable to go
Speaker 1: there and show all those things. I know, I always
Speaker 1: kind of go back to that because people ask me
Speaker 1: a lot what why is it? What is it that
Speaker 1: makes Beverly Hills? No, like still a show that people
Speaker 1: can relate to somehow or or something. Why is this
Speaker 1: show so you know, cemented in people's memories and like
Speaker 1: kind of like fiber of who they are? Um, And
Speaker 1: I go back to that because it is a show
Speaker 1: that really opened up channels of discussion for teens, teens
Speaker 1: and their parents, parents and and other parents. It was
Speaker 1: really a show that kind of opened a lot of
Speaker 1: uh of doorways for a lot of people. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I think and it gave you a range of emotions.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's times you're rooting for people, you're having fun,
Speaker 1: and then there are times where like you are stressed
Speaker 1: and you're what, you know, what's the outcome, what's the cliffhanger?
Speaker 1: What's happening next? And I think because of that, it
Speaker 1: gave you something to really look forward to. It gave
Speaker 1: you know, you people to root for. It gave you
Speaker 1: your favorites, and that's for me, that's what I love
Speaker 1: watching about television. You know, you can pick your like,
Speaker 1: these are my people, this is who I relate to this,
Speaker 1: you know, and I think nine or two and I
Speaker 1: had somebody for everybody back when there was not a
Speaker 1: lot of choice out there. There was no streaming networks.
Speaker 1: There was no you know, on demand cable, none of that.
Speaker 1: So it was like sit down TV, appointment TV, and
Speaker 1: you really committed to being a part of that show
Speaker 1: or kind of like getting invested in these characters. For sure.
Speaker 1: We didn't even have cell phones. Then we would all
Speaker 1: call each other on our landlines and like talk all
Speaker 1: my girlfriends who would like talk through the episodes. Can
Speaker 1: you believe that? Like the Love Triangle, Kelly, it's so good,
Speaker 1: it's so true, I know, I know. The thing is,
Speaker 1: I never watched the show, uh tor, And I never
Speaker 1: really sat down and watched the show and definitely not
Speaker 1: like that like with other people. She kind of did,
Speaker 1: but I had never watched it. So this whole podcast
Speaker 1: of going back and rewatching the show from the first
Speaker 1: episode has been so illuminating for me. Because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I really like the show, like it was good. And
Speaker 1: then I think, and then I realized, hey, wait, that's
Speaker 1: me so weird. I can only imagine like watching yourself
Speaker 1: back after these years and you're like, what did you
Speaker 1: actually feel those emotions when you were going through it?
Speaker 1: Are you? Were you in character? I think so? I
Speaker 1: think I because I didn't go to high school, I
Speaker 1: didn't go to college. I feel like I grew up
Speaker 1: with alongside Kelly Taylor in a weird way, like we
Speaker 1: I grew up with her. So yeah, I was going
Speaker 1: through everything she was going through, even though it wasn't real,
Speaker 1: he felt it. It's been a lottle crazy, I think. No,
Speaker 1: I was curious about that. It makes sense. It's weird,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, we'll talk about the episode in a minute,
Speaker 1: but I have something to say about that. Um, but
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a few questions about you
Speaker 1: and like get to know you, because this is our
Speaker 1: first time meeting and maybe some of our listeners just
Speaker 1: their first time listening to you. Maybe not, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but um, I know a lot of people probably recognize
Speaker 1: you from Real Housewives of Bear Really Hills, and I
Speaker 1: was just super curious, like how did that become? Like
Speaker 1: how did you become a part of that cast? So
Speaker 1: it's I when I first moved out here, I wanted
Speaker 1: to be an actress. And I came out here when
Speaker 1: I was seventeen, and my parents were like, listen, you
Speaker 1: can move to l A if you want, but like
Speaker 1: that's you know, we'll help you ship your car out,
Speaker 1: but after that it's on you. So I got a
Speaker 1: job working at CIA in the mail room, and then
Speaker 1: I was also a hostess at like Mr Chow and
Speaker 1: you're O Chow and like, I wasn't living in a
Speaker 1: studio apartment with another girl that I met an acting class,
Speaker 1: Like I was hustling and um, I had you know,
Speaker 1: I was going on audition and audition and I had
Speaker 1: like a bad experience I had. I had booked, semi
Speaker 1: booked a pilot, but then it took a couple of
Speaker 1: months to come together. And by the time it came together,
Speaker 1: I had gained weight. And they had told me listen, well,
Speaker 1: they didn't tell me. They told my rep that if
Speaker 1: Teddy wants to continue on, she has to lose at
Speaker 1: least twenty pounds or she's out. And I was you know,
Speaker 1: I think at this point I was nineteen, never one
Speaker 1: step foot into another room to audition again. That is horrific.
Speaker 1: That was the end for me. And then you know,
Speaker 1: I ended up gaining like over seventy five pounds after that.
Speaker 1: I was so angry and heartbroken and then I just
Speaker 1: kind of lost myself out here and then you know,
Speaker 1: I went back to my love riding courses. But long
Speaker 1: story short, Um, I because I worked at CIA, somebody
Speaker 1: reached out to me that was there and was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: would you you know I've been watching you on Instagram?
Speaker 1: Would you be interested? I saw your you know, your
Speaker 1: body transformation, your life transformation. I've heard heard you talking.
Speaker 1: Would you be interested in being on Real Housewives? And
Speaker 1: you know, we worked together when I was you know,
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and I'm like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. Do you think I should do it?
Speaker 1: And she's like, I mean you have a successful business,
Speaker 1: you have a successful marriage, Like why not? And I
Speaker 1: was really worried because of that, Like my eighteen nineteen
Speaker 1: year old self was so frightened of what people would
Speaker 1: say and what people would do. But I was like,
Speaker 1: I've worked so hard these last you know, years to
Speaker 1: like get myself to a place to be on TV.
Speaker 1: You know, I always wanted to do it, so I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, go for it. And I
Speaker 1: don't really have any regrets. I mean, there was really
Speaker 1: hard times, but there was also some really great times.
Speaker 1: You were on the show for three three years, three seasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a long time. Yeah, And you know, it's the differences.
Speaker 1: It's like when you are watching, you know, a scripted
Speaker 1: show like nine or two and o. People are watching
Speaker 1: and they can have their favorites, but it's not really you.
Speaker 1: You know, like it's a character that you're playing. And
Speaker 1: I think when it's a reality show, it's actually used,
Speaker 1: but it's an edited version of you, right, is it
Speaker 1: kind of like a created version of whatever the editors
Speaker 1: or the producers kind of want to. Like my my
Speaker 1: first season, everyone loved me because they saw it was
Speaker 1: my family and my kids and my husband and my business.
Speaker 1: Not yes, they saw me in drama too, but they
Speaker 1: saw the full spectrum of who I am as a person.
Speaker 1: And then as it continued on, they solely saw me
Speaker 1: in drama with the women. Then you start not seeing
Speaker 1: me with my kids. Then you start not seeing me,
Speaker 1: Like in my business, you start not seeing me at
Speaker 1: my house. You start like and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're just seeing the arguments, and then how are you
Speaker 1: going to relate to somebody when it's solely the drama.
Speaker 1: So it was like, those are the things, and then
Speaker 1: it's just working through like how not to take that personally?
Speaker 1: Like but wait a minute, I filmed six five to
Speaker 1: six days a week to all this stuff and none
Speaker 1: of its shown, you know, like and so it's just
Speaker 1: kind of going through that. But like the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I made some great friends. Like my business
Speaker 1: is well, I'm like say to my husband, I'm like
Speaker 1: the fact that our marriage is still intact, we're good,
Speaker 1: our kids are, you know, seem to be reasonably doing
Speaker 1: all right. Okay, Uh, that's so true. I was going
Speaker 1: to ask you, like, what what what was your favorite
Speaker 1: part of doing it, But it sounds to me like
Speaker 1: it was the relationships that you friendships that you might
Speaker 1: have made along the way. The friendships and you know,
Speaker 1: I really fell in love with the producers and the
Speaker 1: crew because you see them every day and then you
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they become the person that you
Speaker 1: can find in the most. I mean, granted, they're the
Speaker 1: ones that gave you in the most troubled because you
Speaker 1: can find in them and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you're like damn, because then they're like Teddy, remember when
Speaker 1: you told us that you're gonna tell them? And then
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, rats, forgot that. But you know,
Speaker 1: you really form a bond. So that's that's the part
Speaker 1: that's the loss. But you know, waking up every day
Speaker 1: and feeling anxious because I knew that I was going
Speaker 1: to have to argue with somebody that night, I don't mess. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can imagine. I mean I did a little bit
Speaker 1: of reality TV here and there. I did a a
Speaker 1: show about building a house, which was reality show, and
Speaker 1: then I did a show about moving to the country,
Speaker 1: which was a little bit of well it was a
Speaker 1: reality show, but it was such an altered universe of
Speaker 1: that I was living in at that time in my
Speaker 1: life that I can't call it my reality honestly. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's a lot, I mean, because yeah, you're with
Speaker 1: these the crew and the producers all the time. They're
Speaker 1: in your home, they're in your face, they're a part
Speaker 1: of your life, and you you do you, you sort
Speaker 1: of form this maybe even false sense of friendship with them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they know every bit about you, the good, the badly, ugly.
Speaker 1: They see all your sides, and you're and when you
Speaker 1: talk to somebody every single day and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you don't, it feels like a breakup. And
Speaker 1: then you're like, but we didn't break up because we
Speaker 1: weren't together, So you gotta you know. Is this the
Speaker 1: thing though, with making any kind of entertainment like TV
Speaker 1: shows or movies or reality shows or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: you get really wanted with the crew and with the
Speaker 1: people that you see every single day, because quite honestly,
Speaker 1: a lot of times, unfortunately in this business, you see
Speaker 1: those people more than you see your spouse or your family, yeah,
Speaker 1: or your kids. I mean, it can get really out
Speaker 1: of balance, super easy, but it's and then it's over
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, and then it's over. But I think,
Speaker 1: you know what, I am really grateful too, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure you feel the same way as like I still
Speaker 1: was able to maintain my friendships outside of it, so
Speaker 1: that I was able to like stay grounded and what
Speaker 1: really matters, you know what I mean. I think sometimes
Speaker 1: when you have you know, whoever is paying you is
Speaker 1: the only people that you're talking to. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you forget who you are, so true. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's really tricky because you can surround yourself with those
Speaker 1: yes people and the people that you know quite honestly,
Speaker 1: they're making money off of you, and they you know,
Speaker 1: they're your friends for a reason. Um, they might really
Speaker 1: like you for you know, for you, but at the
Speaker 1: same time they they know what is going to work
Speaker 1: and what's not gonna work. So it's a tricky world,
Speaker 1: isn't it. It is? It really is. You live and
Speaker 1: you learn, and you are also um super passionate about
Speaker 1: health and about helping other people achieve their healthiest life.
Speaker 1: And I think that's so admirable and I need you
Speaker 1: so um yeah, Well what ended up happening was so
Speaker 1: you know I talked about when I was younger, I
Speaker 1: struggled with with my relationship with food. You know, I
Speaker 1: rode horses, having to wear skin tight beige pants and
Speaker 1: it's a certain aesthetic that looks the best on the horse,
Speaker 1: and your trainers made it clear what that aesthetic was.
Speaker 1: And then I had my incident when I was eighteen,
Speaker 1: and then you know, after I left that world, I
Speaker 1: went back to riding horses, and then I met my
Speaker 1: husband and we got married, and then I tried to
Speaker 1: have kids and I couldn't get pregnant naturally, so I
Speaker 1: went through multiple rounds of IV and miscarriages and whatnot,
Speaker 1: and gained weight and as one does. But after I
Speaker 1: had my son, which is my second, I kind of
Speaker 1: lost sight of myself. And it wasn't about the weight.
Speaker 1: It was about like I wasn't taking care of myself,
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't going on walks, I wasn't being active.
Speaker 1: Everything that I was doing was about my kids. But
Speaker 1: the problem was I wasn't my best self for my
Speaker 1: kids because I was looking to like my husband to
Speaker 1: validate me, or my kids to validate me. I wasn't
Speaker 1: like doing the things that made me feel good. So yes,
Speaker 1: I was, you know, up over eighty pounds after I
Speaker 1: had my son, and then never lost it. I actually
Speaker 1: started gaining more. But I was sabotaging my relationship with
Speaker 1: my husband, with the people in my life because I
Speaker 1: felt like this anger and this like angst, like what
Speaker 1: is happening to me? Why did I have to go
Speaker 1: through all this? You know, like there was something going
Speaker 1: on with me. So one day I just said, you know,
Speaker 1: this was like a year later, I was like, I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't live like this anymore.
Speaker 1: And I just started an Instagram, a new one by myself,
Speaker 1: and I just said, hey, I'm gonna change my life today.
Speaker 1: Fall along if you're interested. I love that, love that
Speaker 1: so much. And as you know, started with three followers
Speaker 1: and then you know, got to ten thousand because people
Speaker 1: either want to see you succeed or people want to
Speaker 1: see fail. So that's how I changed my life, and
Speaker 1: I realized that's the key accountability. I used Instagram as
Speaker 1: my accountability coach, like make sure that I'm walking today,
Speaker 1: make sure that I'm doing my food prep, make sure
Speaker 1: that I'm doing this. And then people started reaching out
Speaker 1: to me like listen, we want to do what you're doing,
Speaker 1: but we don't want to do it on Instagram. And
Speaker 1: so then I started a company and it started small,
Speaker 1: and people wanted me to hire out all these coaches
Speaker 1: from all over the place, and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm only going to bring people from within. So every
Speaker 1: single coach that I've had is has once been a
Speaker 1: client in a practice what they preach and now we've
Speaker 1: changed over twenty lives. So it's it's pretty incredible and
Speaker 1: I'm grateful every day for it because it's why I'm
Speaker 1: still in the place I am today. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: such a great, great success story, not just for your
Speaker 1: business but for you as a person. Like very motivating.
Speaker 1: I totally relate to, like having kids and having a
Speaker 1: life and being busy. And then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, what, I'm not taking care of myself whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Like I'm taking care of everybody else and I'm taking
Speaker 1: care of you know, the things that I'm required to
Speaker 1: take care of every day, but I'm not taking care
Speaker 1: of myself. And then yeah, you lose sight of what
Speaker 1: it is that you even need to do to take
Speaker 1: care of yourself. Yeah, and what makes you happy? And
Speaker 1: like what I realized, I couldn't even sit with myself.
Speaker 1: I couldn't even sit with myself and feel joy. And
Speaker 1: I think that's something that like if you can, if
Speaker 1: you're in that stage where like you can't even sit
Speaker 1: with yourself for five minutes and feel a little bit
Speaker 1: of happiness, something's got to give and people will be
Speaker 1: like you know, is it about the way. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know, of course there are parts that like physically
Speaker 1: I wanted to transform things, but it was so much more.
Speaker 1: It was so much more than that. Like I wanted
Speaker 1: to be able to wake up and feel proud that
Speaker 1: I was taking action on my day and that I
Speaker 1: wasn't going to snap at my kids because I was
Speaker 1: feeling run down because I wasn't doing anything to take
Speaker 1: care of me, or telling my husband you know what, No,
Speaker 1: I need that hour for myself. Hmm. Yeah, just sort
Speaker 1: of making yourself a priority. That's really important. You you started, um,
Speaker 1: so your your whole thing is all in with Teddy, right,
Speaker 1: that's the all in, all in by Teddy, all in
Speaker 1: by Teddy. I think I need all in. I need
Speaker 1: to get I need to jump all in, all in
Speaker 1: and then it's go all in on everything. And you
Speaker 1: know it's not really just for a way. That's because
Speaker 1: it goes for all things in your life. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question, if you're all If you're all in,
Speaker 1: which sounds amazing, but it also sounds really hard and
Speaker 1: totally intimidating. If you're all in, can you ever be
Speaker 1: like just have your foot out just a little bit
Speaker 1: like I always make a joke, I'm like, I should
Speaker 1: start to happen by Teddy want that one? I want
Speaker 1: that one because people always ask that. But truly, I
Speaker 1: will pair whomever the incoming client is with a coach
Speaker 1: that's going to give them what they actually need, you know,
Speaker 1: not what they want, but what they need versus on
Speaker 1: what their goals. Maybe. So if I have a client
Speaker 1: that's signing up because their goal in life is to
Speaker 1: run a marathon, I'm going to put them with a
Speaker 1: very intense coach because the and and they say, this
Speaker 1: is what I need. I'm a competitive you know, they
Speaker 1: have a whole questionnaire. I'm gonna put them with somebody
Speaker 1: like that. If I have somebody that's like, listen, I
Speaker 1: just haven't been keeping my word to myself and now
Speaker 1: I've lost lost the confidence and myself and I just
Speaker 1: need to start believing in myself again, I would put
Speaker 1: them with somebody else, and then we'd work on those
Speaker 1: overall goals and set up what works for them. It's
Speaker 1: not a one size fits all. It's like, we're gonna
Speaker 1: work with where you're at because not everybody's coming in
Speaker 1: in the same place. But whatever your ultimate goal is
Speaker 1: that's our goal to get. That sounds good, I mean,
Speaker 1: it sounds too good to be true. But like I
Speaker 1: had a trainer, my last trainer that I worked with,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to you know, get in shape and
Speaker 1: be you know, be healthy and all that stuff. But
Speaker 1: I would go there and complain the whole time, and
Speaker 1: like just like I would work hard, but I would
Speaker 1: I think I paid him to just have somebody to
Speaker 1: complain to. But like I don't want to do that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll do it. But he would sort of soften up
Speaker 1: to my you know, he under he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, he took it easy on me at a
Speaker 1: certain point, and you know that's not that's not what
Speaker 1: I want. Like I want you to keep being hard
Speaker 1: on me. But I think you also have to figure
Speaker 1: out and that was a problem for me as well
Speaker 1: as what you actually like doing. So like, for example,
Speaker 1: I don't like working out with a personal trainer. For me,
Speaker 1: that is not an enjoyable form of exercise. What I
Speaker 1: like doing is going on hikes. I like going on
Speaker 1: you know, the peloton bike. I like going to hot yoga.
Speaker 1: But like for a while, I never tried anything you
Speaker 1: I thought if I want my body to look this way,
Speaker 1: if I want to feel this way, this is what
Speaker 1: I have to do. But I started experimenting and not
Speaker 1: just once. You can't just one time try something and
Speaker 1: say I don't like. You have to try something a
Speaker 1: couple of times and then see what it is that
Speaker 1: you like, and then you won't dread it anymore. And
Speaker 1: then if you, you know, you build it into your lifestyle.
Speaker 1: So let's say you're one of your goals is like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't really get to see my
Speaker 1: friends as often as i'd like to, So then you
Speaker 1: set a date every Wednesday at eight. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know how your kids are, but like
Speaker 1: after school drop off or whatever it may be, we
Speaker 1: are going to go on a hike or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And then you built that in and then it becomes
Speaker 1: not a misery loves company situation. It becomes something where
Speaker 1: you guys build each other up, you hold each other accountable,
Speaker 1: and you do something positive versus let's meet Wednesday nights
Speaker 1: at five for marks, you know, and then it's you
Speaker 1: kind of you built up that support system for each other, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And though my therapist kind of talked about that. I
Speaker 1: remember him saying stack things, like, um, you know, stack things.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I could stack things and and have my
Speaker 1: friendships as well as my socialization and go have Margarita's
Speaker 1: with my friends. Or I could stack things in a
Speaker 1: healthy way and say like I'm going to spend time
Speaker 1: with my friends, but I'm also going to be doing
Speaker 1: something good for myself. So it's sort of stacking like
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. Yeah, because I oftentimes I
Speaker 1: don't like being around a ton of people all of
Speaker 1: the time, like I need to be like I need
Speaker 1: to have time for myself. But I also don't want to,
Speaker 1: you know, be such an introvert that I'm not out there,
Speaker 1: you know. So that's a good way to kind of
Speaker 1: do it that you're still reaching out and you say like,
Speaker 1: this is what works for me right now, you know,
Speaker 1: I love you want to see let's figure it out.
Speaker 1: What do you like doing. Let's let's experiment. This all
Speaker 1: sounds amazing. I'm going to check it out. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: look at your your work. What is it? What is
Speaker 1: that Instagram for? For just your business? Um, it's go
Speaker 1: at go all in by Teddy and then my websites
Speaker 1: all in by Teddy dot Com. Okay, okay, those are
Speaker 1: good references. People, Let's do it. Let's do this, and
Speaker 1: we're actually running a promo this month where if you
Speaker 1: go onto my Instagram right now and you uh and
Speaker 1: you tag a friend, three people will be selected to
Speaker 1: get the jump Start for free. So you're saying there's
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get it for free, and I am frugal.
Speaker 1: I was like, uh, free, I love free things. Who
Speaker 1: doesn't love free things? Okay, let's let's take a tiny
Speaker 1: break and when we come back, we will get into
Speaker 1: this week's episode. Sound good, perfect? Okay, m all right.
Speaker 1: So this week we are talking about season two, episode
Speaker 1: twenty two, Baby Makes five. This uh, this show aired
Speaker 1: originally on February, and I'm gonna give a little synopsis
Speaker 1: real quick. Um, Dylan keeps quiet about Valentine's plans for Brenda,
Speaker 1: but no one keeps quiet about Kelly's mom and David's dad.
Speaker 1: Directed by Bill Deliah, written by Steve Wasserman and Jessica Klein.
Speaker 1: Did you watch the episode, Pedty? Of course I did,
Speaker 1: and it was bananas that the second I turned it on,
Speaker 1: I immediately remembered that episode you did yes, I mean
Speaker 1: I watched the whole thing, of course, but I was like,
Speaker 1: how do I remember I remember this happening. I remember
Speaker 1: him being a dentist, Like this is impossible. I can't
Speaker 1: remember somebody's phone number, but I can remember this. It
Speaker 1: took you back in time. It took me back in time.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. It did too. I have to say that.
Speaker 1: The it opened on baby pictures of Kelly right as literally,
Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, that's me. Those are my baby pictures.
Speaker 1: And I got confused for a second and then I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, but okay, so it's Kelly and I'm Kelly.
Speaker 1: All right, it's all making sense now, Like I know,
Speaker 1: I thought, I mean right at the beginning, you got
Speaker 1: you and your your mom as I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: your mom. We're sitting there looking at the pictures, and
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I got it. I remember it done.
Speaker 1: Ah man. Yeah. The episode sort of had three very
Speaker 1: not related, separate storylines. There was like an A storyline,
Speaker 1: a B storyline, and I see storyline kind of so
Speaker 1: sometimes I find it's easier for me to break it
Speaker 1: down like that. Like the A storyline was Jackie and
Speaker 1: mel and the pregnancy and like how that was affecting
Speaker 1: Kelly and David. The B storyline was Andrea goes with
Speaker 1: the boys and learns how to gamble with Nat. Right,
Speaker 1: I have more to say about that. Uh. And the
Speaker 1: C storyline was kind of Brenda's being, you know, sort
Speaker 1: of consumed by what is it that Dylan's going to
Speaker 1: do for me for Valentine's Day? One of the one
Speaker 1: of their lighter episodes, one of their lighter for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's start. Let's start with a baby story and
Speaker 1: you want to talk about that one, all right, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Okay. Well, it's crazy to me that Jackie
Speaker 1: again in this mother daughter relationship, it's like Kelly is
Speaker 1: the mother and Jackie is the daughter sometimes. And I
Speaker 1: think in this instance definitely, because I mean Kelly even
Speaker 1: says at one point in it, like well, first of all,
Speaker 1: she kind of takes the hard stance with her mom,
Speaker 1: like says, just deal with it, like actually says just
Speaker 1: deal with it, which means go get an abortion, don't
Speaker 1: even tell mel, which I was like, whoa, Okay, Kelly
Speaker 1: for sure had a stance on it immediately. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: it was it was like the mature, like seasoned sort
Speaker 1: of not the you know whatever, she was sixteen seventeen
Speaker 1: year old point of view. Yeah, No, it was more
Speaker 1: to me, it just felt like Kelly was so worried
Speaker 1: that this might affect the relationship and what it means that, like,
Speaker 1: I am going to step into the mother role and
Speaker 1: I'm going to take over because nothing can mess up
Speaker 1: what we've got going on right now and Kelly. And
Speaker 1: the weird thing was, Kelly wasn't even crazy about her
Speaker 1: mom being with mill But I think Kelly was worried
Speaker 1: about the repercussions of what everybody would think if her
Speaker 1: mom was pregnant, or also what it would mean if
Speaker 1: her mom wasn't happy anymore, because I think she was
Speaker 1: super sensitive to if my mom's not happy, that means
Speaker 1: she's going to fall off the wagon again and then
Speaker 1: we're going to go down that whole spiral of her
Speaker 1: addiction again. So I think that seeing her mom stable
Speaker 1: and happy like that, she didn't want to do anything
Speaker 1: to change that, you know, right, And plus you probably
Speaker 1: remembered Kelly probably remembered her childhood and how all rocky
Speaker 1: that was for her, and bringing another baby into the
Speaker 1: world scary. Yeah, I mean, Jackie got herself into a pickle.
Speaker 1: She really did, and then it became a whole big
Speaker 1: game of telephone What is the deal? Why can't anyone
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills year old show included keep a freaking secret?
Speaker 1: Like not. But I've kind of felt like Donna, it
Speaker 1: was not accidental. I feel like Donna was like stirring
Speaker 1: the pot. Like Donna was like me on Beverly Hills,
Speaker 1: like she was stirring it there. Do you think a
Speaker 1: little sweet does? I don't think she could play coy
Speaker 1: like it was completely accidental. I mean, I know she was,
Speaker 1: but I don't. And to make the same mistake twice, Oh,
Speaker 1: bless her heart. Listen. I just kept thinking, Donna, come on,
Speaker 1: Donna again. I mean, yeah, but I just it was
Speaker 1: a lot of I was confused by who told who
Speaker 1: By the time David has the talk with Jackie on
Speaker 1: the stairs, literally I was having trouble tracking who told
Speaker 1: who what because there was so much Oh, and then
Speaker 1: I kept hoping even to this day, and then I
Speaker 1: remembered it didn't happen before when they were first talking
Speaker 1: at the dentist office, Like at some point it's going
Speaker 1: to come out now, Like I can't wait any longer.
Speaker 1: I need her to say what how, I need them
Speaker 1: to communicate this through all the way. But then we
Speaker 1: had to wait all the way until David came because
Speaker 1: she didn't know that Mel wanted to marry her before
Speaker 1: he knew that she was pregnant. That was the whole thing, right,
Speaker 1: that was the whole thing. But that had me very
Speaker 1: repped up. I was like yelling at the TV. I
Speaker 1: need now, that's not what happened. I know she goes
Speaker 1: to the to the I love that she goes to
Speaker 1: the dentist's office and the lady at the front desk
Speaker 1: was like, Nope, you can't come in. But my favorite
Speaker 1: part of the whole thing was the guy in the
Speaker 1: chair getting his teeth fixed or whatever the thing in
Speaker 1: his mouth. His face just I couldn't stop watching his
Speaker 1: little eyes, like he was so funny. Well, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't like he was just getting he was getting a
Speaker 1: root canal, like that's a major He wasn't just like
Speaker 1: getting a cleaning, like I'm gonna stop your root can now.
Speaker 1: And you would think there was like a timing on that,
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna deal with my old baby engagement situation
Speaker 1: right now, you just sit here? What do you do?
Speaker 1: You ever do that at the dentist? Like have you
Speaker 1: ever like been sitting in the dentist's chair and they
Speaker 1: kind of walk away for a minute and you hear
Speaker 1: things going on behind you, and you're like, wait, what's happening?
Speaker 1: What are they talking about me? All of the time,
Speaker 1: I can't even help myself. I love to like eavesdrop,
Speaker 1: even when I'm walking and I hear people having a conversation,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I need to know every crumb. Even if
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at dinner and I see like a couple,
Speaker 1: I have to size up the whole situation. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I wonder how they met? M are they are they married?
Speaker 1: Like none of it matters, Like why am I give
Speaker 1: them a full script? I love it? You just jump
Speaker 1: right in like full detective. And I've given that trait
Speaker 1: to my daughter, to a poor thing. Well, it could
Speaker 1: serve you, you know, it makes you um an interesting person.
Speaker 1: It makes you someone that people like to talk to
Speaker 1: because you're inquisitive about them in their lives. I think
Speaker 1: it's a good quality. It's a good quality can also
Speaker 1: be quite annoying. You got to learn how to like
Speaker 1: live with it. You've got to I've got to learn
Speaker 1: when to peel it back always not always the easiest thing.
Speaker 1: But well, I mean I kind of get where Jackie
Speaker 1: was coming from because she says that she doesn't want
Speaker 1: to like Ruin mills um the life that he's ready
Speaker 1: to live, like the life of David's, you know, in
Speaker 1: high school. He's almost done being a parent. He's ready
Speaker 1: to live his life for him. And Jackie's thinking, oh
Speaker 1: my god, like this is going back to square one
Speaker 1: having a baby. I mean, I've been in that position where,
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted I thought for a while that
Speaker 1: I wanted to have another baby when my kids are
Speaker 1: oh like in they were in junior high in high
Speaker 1: school at that time. And I think now, a few minutes,
Speaker 1: a few like five years later, I think, oh, thank
Speaker 1: god I didn't have a baby, because I'm free. I'm
Speaker 1: almost free. I'm like four years away from freedom, not
Speaker 1: really freedom, but you know what I mean. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel you. I didn't know I was pregnant because
Speaker 1: you know, I told you about the IVF thing. I
Speaker 1: didn't know I was pregnant with Dove, who she's eighteen
Speaker 1: months now, until I was like eleven weeks pregnant. Oh,
Speaker 1: because she was a natural miracle baby all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like I was never even on birth control or anything,
Speaker 1: because I just thought and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: fam So now we've got but nice little seven year
Speaker 1: age gap. I guess the IVF like lingered, I got
Speaker 1: my body ready or something or who knows. We were
Speaker 1: in Mexico when it happened, so who knows, you know
Speaker 1: what we were doing, but something something went for it.
Speaker 1: But it does it. I completely changes the dynamic of
Speaker 1: the life that you originally planned, but of course for
Speaker 1: the better, you know, if it's something that you want
Speaker 1: to do. But I definitely I see where she's coming from.
Speaker 1: And you never want somebody to You never want to
Speaker 1: feel like somebody's only with you out of obligation. No,
Speaker 1: that's the worst feeling. Yeah, So Jackie's not. She is
Speaker 1: a little cuckoo. She goes in there super dramatic and
Speaker 1: doesn't even listen to Melbot soever. But like he says
Speaker 1: towards the end, that's something that he loves about her
Speaker 1: as her you know, her passion, But she just assumes
Speaker 1: that he doesn't want a baby with her. And of
Speaker 1: course he does. And of course, but my part was
Speaker 1: like you're in David's faces or Kelly and David's faces
Speaker 1: when you both are like at the doorstep talking to
Speaker 1: each other and you're like, she's not gonna want to
Speaker 1: talk to you. He's like just has his like puppy
Speaker 1: dog look on his face. But then he like comes
Speaker 1: in and handles business. Yeah. I love that scene actually,
Speaker 1: between David and Jackie. I think that was great. And
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you do need like sometimes you can't
Speaker 1: hear it from your peers. So David coming in and
Speaker 1: being younger and being the child, sometimes it's going to
Speaker 1: resonate with you better because you can actually listen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Jackie needed that because she yeah,
Speaker 1: she was kind of lost at that point. She needed
Speaker 1: she didn't have to always be right. She was able
Speaker 1: to just sit back and listen. Okay, should we move
Speaker 1: on to to the B I'll call it B storyline
Speaker 1: about nat Um nat teaching three teenagers how to gamble. Hello,
Speaker 1: another another one of those things. What the heck? That
Speaker 1: was lighthearted gambling? Just no, Yeah, nobody's gonna get hurt.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm just teaching them. All how to better
Speaker 1: on race horses. You know, in hindsight, they did that
Speaker 1: on Uncle Buck as well. So I was there was
Speaker 1: two where does that come from? I feel like it
Speaker 1: was so I don't know, it just came out of
Speaker 1: left field for me, the whole go into the race
Speaker 1: track element. Well. I also thought that when she when
Speaker 1: when Andrea goes and sees his friend, now I'm blanking
Speaker 1: on his name. Is it like Nat that's friend when
Speaker 1: they were at the race track won a couple the
Speaker 1: kind of seedy looking race track guy. Yeah, I thought
Speaker 1: he was going to be lying to her and there
Speaker 1: was gonna be like a negative ending to it, and
Speaker 1: it was like, this is why you shouldn't gamble because nope,
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. No positive. Everybody's great. Yeah, Duke
Speaker 1: Duke was his name. So do gave some really valuable
Speaker 1: tips there. Yeah, so trust the shady character at the track,
Speaker 1: listen to them. Okay, put your money on whatever someone
Speaker 1: else says. And yeah, I don't know. It was a
Speaker 1: weird choice for me, but I did think that it
Speaker 1: was fun to watch Andrea bees oh happy. She was
Speaker 1: adorable and like she just seems super happy doing those scenes.
Speaker 1: With Brandon and uh, Steve even that she just looked
Speaker 1: like she was having a ball. Yeah, she looked like
Speaker 1: she was having fun. But I think it's also like
Speaker 1: her competitive nature and like her school, like scholastic like
Speaker 1: she I think, and she had like a method to it,
Speaker 1: so it felt like something more than just winning the
Speaker 1: money her method. No, she just had a method of
Speaker 1: picking out the names. That's how I would do it too,
Speaker 1: Like which name do you like the most? That's the
Speaker 1: one that's gonna win. She was picked out the ones
Speaker 1: that had something to do with love. I know she
Speaker 1: said that, but I still feel like she had something
Speaker 1: else up for sleep. I'm always that. I always think
Speaker 1: there's more to others. I always think there's more to
Speaker 1: the story. Maybe so, maybe so in this situation. I
Speaker 1: don't know. But have you ever been to the races
Speaker 1: like that? Do you like race horse racing? I've gone
Speaker 1: to the races. I've got, you know, gone to Vegas.
Speaker 1: But I am not a gambler. I am not like
Speaker 1: one of those lose control of my money types. Like
Speaker 1: if I'm going to put my money on something, I
Speaker 1: need a tangible thing back, like I need a vacation
Speaker 1: that I'm going on right eating or a piece of clothing,
Speaker 1: like I am not. I'm not willing to just gamble.
Speaker 1: I'll do little bets with like friends or whatever about
Speaker 1: something that like I don't know, we watch different reality
Speaker 1: shows or something like that. Then I'll be like, this
Speaker 1: person is gonna win five bucks, but not never, No,
Speaker 1: I put it all on the black. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: Like I've always had the same sort of feeling about
Speaker 1: gambling because I work really hard for my money. I
Speaker 1: always have. I'm like self made, and I know how
Speaker 1: hard it is to come by, and like I'm not
Speaker 1: just gonna go throw it away at something like that
Speaker 1: and for something that's luck. I mean, I grant granted,
Speaker 1: there there are people that are professionals and have this talent,
Speaker 1: but like still, I think when money is involved and
Speaker 1: there's a game to it, how do you not get it.
Speaker 1: There's a part of me that's like, how does addiction
Speaker 1: not start becoming formed to it? Not like I worried
Speaker 1: that if I was good at it then it would
Speaker 1: be something I want more of. It's like you know, jobs,
Speaker 1: like I'm like, oh yeah, sure I can do that.
Speaker 1: At seven am, I can do it. At nine am,
Speaker 1: I can do at eleven, I can fit fifty things.
Speaker 1: And today today if I can be paid for it.
Speaker 1: Imagine if it was just to be gambling. I don't
Speaker 1: dress myself. I mean, I dipped my toe in playing poker,
Speaker 1: and I would do these like um celebrity poker things.
Speaker 1: And I started to think I was really good at it.
Speaker 1: And here was why, because I had no fucking oops,
Speaker 1: I can't say that, no idea what I was doing
Speaker 1: when I was playing poker. I just acted like I
Speaker 1: did and good until I didn't. Until I was like,
Speaker 1: I have no idea what to do, and then I
Speaker 1: couldn't hide it anymore. But I made it like for
Speaker 1: I would do pretty well, and then it would become
Speaker 1: I would be invited to the next one, or I'd
Speaker 1: be someone who asked me to play poker somewhere else.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: I can't keep doing this. I can't live my life
Speaker 1: like this. I don't even know what my poker face is.
Speaker 1: For you, I have no idea how to play anything.
Speaker 1: I bet you would probably be good at it. You
Speaker 1: would need to be. I would need a team member, teammate,
Speaker 1: that would be good if they if there was like
Speaker 1: couples poker, you could have a pal that next to
Speaker 1: you to just confer with, or maybe one of those things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always wanted one of those. I think we're just
Speaker 1: gonna arrested for that, so just don't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But the whole horse racing thing for me, I I've
Speaker 1: been to the horse races when I was younger. I've
Speaker 1: even been to dog like dog races if you can
Speaker 1: even imagine they. But now in retrospect, I can't believe
Speaker 1: that I in are, like you know, contributed to that,
Speaker 1: because now, knowing what I know about, like you know,
Speaker 1: I have mixed, realm real mixed feelings about the treatment
Speaker 1: of the horses and the vigorous training that they have
Speaker 1: to do and all of it, it just makes me
Speaker 1: feel like I don't know if I'm into racing anymore.
Speaker 1: For sure, I know it's I mean, my I grew
Speaker 1: up riding and my daughter rides. It's un or jumper
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's all similar, but it really
Speaker 1: I think it depends on the trainer, on the owner,
Speaker 1: on the coach. You know, you really don't know, But
Speaker 1: I think there are good people out there that really
Speaker 1: love the animals and really take care of them, and
Speaker 1: I think there are ones that will do anything to win.
Speaker 1: But that's everything in life. M hm. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean that you it's not just in horse racing.
Speaker 1: I think that's any job anywhere, any place you go.
Speaker 1: You're going to have good people that are going to
Speaker 1: do the best by whomever, and then you have the
Speaker 1: people that are gonna, you know, claw their way to
Speaker 1: the top. That's true, It's true. What I listen. I
Speaker 1: love horses too so much. I grew up in Illinois
Speaker 1: and we had a horse farm and you don't say farm,
Speaker 1: you say ranch, horse ranch and we um we we
Speaker 1: rode um Tennessee walking horses. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know what those are horse For people listening, I don't like. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do like fancy things with their feet and they're
Speaker 1: really smooth to ride. So originally they were like for
Speaker 1: um people that needed to get long distances on their horse,
Speaker 1: and like it was a really smooth ride because they
Speaker 1: don't trot. They just they do like a running walk
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I never knew that. Yeah, they don't trot.
Speaker 1: If they do trot, you try to discourage them out
Speaker 1: of their natural gait and force them to do this
Speaker 1: thing called running walks. See it's so humane. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad for a minute, he got into like showing
Speaker 1: them and that whole thing, and it got weird because
Speaker 1: with Tennessee walking horses, they put their front feet, hoofs,
Speaker 1: their front end up on like platform shoes basically that
Speaker 1: are five inches high seven inches high, and then they
Speaker 1: strapped the platform and nail it to their hoof, so
Speaker 1: so they picked their feet up higher. Right, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's weighted, so they picked their feet up higher exactly.
Speaker 1: But they live their life in those shoes like at
Speaker 1: an angle. I guess it's like women in heels. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would rather that if I was a horse, I'd
Speaker 1: rather that jobs than be like the horses that have
Speaker 1: to pull the carriages in like New York. You know,
Speaker 1: they just aren't properly taken care. You can see like
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're like walking with a lamb. You know.
Speaker 1: The one thing that you can say about the horses
Speaker 1: that are being raised, like if they are injured, they're
Speaker 1: not racing, you know what I mean, Like they can't.
Speaker 1: It's blatantly shown. Whereas some of the workhorses, they're just
Speaker 1: I mean that's what they are, their workhorses. They're work
Speaker 1: to the bone. I always feel like when I'm walking
Speaker 1: around Central Park and I see those horses, I just
Speaker 1: want to hug them and like brush them. I like
Speaker 1: think of it was that Black Beauty, that movie that
Speaker 1: I watched when I was little, Like I always think
Speaker 1: of that, and I know it's a sad but wait,
Speaker 1: we have to just touch on real quick on the
Speaker 1: Brenda Dylan. Okay Storylan, there's not much to talk about there,
Speaker 1: but how do you feel about that storyline? Well, I
Speaker 1: mean you kind of knew because she was making such
Speaker 1: a big deal about it. It's like, I know, was
Speaker 1: my husband. Whenever I make a big deal about something,
Speaker 1: it's never going to be what I expect. Never, Yes,
Speaker 1: when you have like expectations. When I when I build
Speaker 1: in expectations with anything in my life, I'm always disappointed.
Speaker 1: So I was like, this is not going to be
Speaker 1: where she is, where she's headed. But I end up,
Speaker 1: you know when he shared that, you know, when they
Speaker 1: went ended up going and giving the blood and he
Speaker 1: said that he needed blood on Valentine's Day, Like I
Speaker 1: thought it was a really special story. I don't know
Speaker 1: that Brenda necessarily got it a special Yeah, she she
Speaker 1: acted like she loved it and appreciated it, but she
Speaker 1: did what she needed to do to her to the play.
Speaker 1: That was super sweet. Like Keith was thoughtful because he
Speaker 1: knows that she loves like drama and theater and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, so he kind of like tried to layer it.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I was watching that when they
Speaker 1: go give blood thing, which I didn't see coming. I
Speaker 1: was trying to figure it out to like with this clues.
Speaker 1: I didn't I could sleeve. I wouldn't have thought it.
Speaker 1: But afterwards I was like, oh, makes sense. But I thought,
Speaker 1: but where is this coming from? I think maybe this
Speaker 1: happened to one of the writers in real life. I
Speaker 1: have to ask Jessica Klein, like, did this happen? Did
Speaker 1: you go on a Balentine's dactate and somebody took you
Speaker 1: to give your blood? How would you have come up
Speaker 1: with that? But I deitly. I mean people now are
Speaker 1: like wearing their each other's blood, like I are they still?
Speaker 1: Are they still doing that? Yes? I just saw like
Speaker 1: machine gun Kelly wears Oh no, her blood? Yeah, god
Speaker 1: like a little vial. I mean, I'm not wearing anyone
Speaker 1: I knows blood, nor do I want to. But it's
Speaker 1: still happening. Yeah. Actually, that was the last question I
Speaker 1: was going to ask you before I left, was if
Speaker 1: you're interested, if it will motivate me to exercise every day,
Speaker 1: I might do it to go all in. You must
Speaker 1: wear my blood, you know what? That might be something
Speaker 1: you can work into the regime. This is the problem. Now,
Speaker 1: this is the part of the podcast. It's gonna get
Speaker 1: picked up and then everyone's gonna be like, you know
Speaker 1: what that teddy, how do you get All right, let's
Speaker 1: take another little break and when we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: talk fashion and all kinds of things. Okay, perfect, let's
Speaker 1: look fashion. Are you into fashion? Not really, but I'll
Speaker 1: do what I gotta. Don't you feel like kind of
Speaker 1: inadequate for admitting that you're not into fashion, because what
Speaker 1: we do, it's there's so much emphasis on like looking
Speaker 1: good and what you wear, and you know, especially your job,
Speaker 1: like what you were that environment that you were in.
Speaker 1: Like well, I think it also always gets twisted because
Speaker 1: I'll say, like, I'm not into fashion, but then people
Speaker 1: will be like, but I saw you with this nice bag,
Speaker 1: or I saw you in this nice outfit. I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's a difference. I like looking good. I will never
Speaker 1: say that I don't, but I don't enjoy the idea
Speaker 1: of like putting looks together or going shopping. Like I
Speaker 1: order things so I can try them on at home
Speaker 1: and then send them away if they don't work. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's me. I think it must be a
Speaker 1: Midwestern thing because I hate shopping. No it gives. I
Speaker 1: was just in Vegas with Kyle from the show Injury
Speaker 1: and a couple of our other friends, and one of
Speaker 1: the days they're like, let's go shopping. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: would honestly rather poke my eyes out than go shopping
Speaker 1: right now. Like I'll go sit by the pool, have
Speaker 1: a drink, chill, whatever. But I am not one. There's
Speaker 1: the same shops in Los Angeles. I get if you're
Speaker 1: coming to Vegas and there's these shops are not accessible
Speaker 1: to you. But I'm like, I don't want to go
Speaker 1: because one, I don't need to spend money. I also
Speaker 1: I want to shop when I need something. I love
Speaker 1: you so much right now, Like I don't need to
Speaker 1: just shop for extra stuff, like I like to like,
Speaker 1: you know, covet something and then go buy it or
Speaker 1: search for it or I do. The only time I
Speaker 1: do enjoy shopping is if I know somebody else really
Speaker 1: wants something and I'm so excited to give them that gift. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are on the same page about it, but do
Speaker 1: you have like, um, you remember, well, it's it's not
Speaker 1: we're doing it again the nineties fashion thing. But do
Speaker 1: you remember your nineties fashion? I mean I was like
Speaker 1: big into like overalls, but did you wait, wait wait,
Speaker 1: did you buckle both sides or just one side? I
Speaker 1: think I would switch and depend on what I was doing. So,
Speaker 1: like I went to like a prep school, like very
Speaker 1: preppy school, where we you know, we had a certain look,
Speaker 1: and then to try to get away from that, we
Speaker 1: would then turn into like we'd wear berks with like
Speaker 1: the thick wool socks and then the overalls and then
Speaker 1: like put umpatuuli and like try to become different human beings.
Speaker 1: So it was really that like. And then I think
Speaker 1: if I was going to pick a person, I remember
Speaker 1: thinking like Drew Barrymore had this very effortless nineties look
Speaker 1: about her, but I could never like pull off a
Speaker 1: flower in my hair. That's like not like a flower
Speaker 1: in your hat like Andrea's that wasn't your thing or no, no,
Speaker 1: be either. I'm like, don't put any hair accessories on me.
Speaker 1: Don't put ribbons and clips. I don't like any hair accessories.
Speaker 1: I still don't other than hats. Hat. Of course I
Speaker 1: warn't because it's Monday. I have like so many things
Speaker 1: with the kids this morning. I'm like, she's gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hat today. That's good. Hats are fine with
Speaker 1: I have probably more hats than I do anything in
Speaker 1: my closet. Do you know that, like those braids that
Speaker 1: are in the front are coming back, Like the two
Speaker 1: braids that you do your hair is down and then
Speaker 1: you do two braids right in the front. My eight
Speaker 1: year oh yeah right here, yeah, just right there, you
Speaker 1: put you braid the two fronts that's in um the
Speaker 1: over like the big blazers. Everybody loves those. But like
Speaker 1: what my kids are into now, which I've had to
Speaker 1: transition because for a while they weren't into it, but
Speaker 1: like they want to wear like really loose jeans and
Speaker 1: like ginormous hoodie sweatshirts and then like Doc Martin's Doc
Speaker 1: Martin's are back, yeah, or Nikes that you can't get
Speaker 1: your hands on the white peart by the way, don't
Speaker 1: even try. Don't worry. Are we did? But now they're
Speaker 1: like brown and I'm like sitting there trying to scrub
Speaker 1: them clean. And it's really cool to put beads on
Speaker 1: the front apparently the front shoe lace. I M, well,
Speaker 1: that's and a cute I like that. Yeah, my kid has.
Speaker 1: My fourteen year old has like air Force ones plural uh,
Speaker 1: and her birthday is coming and that's all she wants
Speaker 1: is another pair. And I've been searching high and loan
Speaker 1: I cannot find them. So guess who's not getting a
Speaker 1: new pair of air Force ones for a birthday? Sorry,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, Fiona, The problem is the air Force
Speaker 1: ones like they're ripping you off too, because if you
Speaker 1: go to the other sites, then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're like air Force once were five and fifty dollars,
Speaker 1: like I promise on Amazon two years ago. This was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can get them. You could get them if they
Speaker 1: were in stock for a hundred bucks somewhere, but if
Speaker 1: on the off sites, it's like three fifty four in
Speaker 1: no way, no way. You know, my stepdaughter wanted like
Speaker 1: a teal pair. Trying to find that was honestly like
Speaker 1: trying to get the Harry Potter bucks before they come out.
Speaker 1: Usually just get the white ones and spray paint them.
Speaker 1: She'll never know. And then if you accidentally, like step
Speaker 1: on one of their shoes, it's me it's because you dirty. Okay,
Speaker 1: So did you have a favorite fashion moment from this episode? Like,
Speaker 1: what was your favorite look? Favorite look from this episode?
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I mean Steve always gives it
Speaker 1: to me. He's got all the powers, like the blouses
Speaker 1: he wears, the what do you call the man blouses? Blouses? Oh,
Speaker 1: I have to say. I was recently on a plane
Speaker 1: with him to the I Heard event and I was
Speaker 1: so shocked not to see him in a man blouse,
Speaker 1: Like this is a problem. I see you guys as
Speaker 1: the characters like I have to adjust myself. And I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I was like a handsome grown man.
Speaker 1: He's no longer Steve in the blouses that like drove
Speaker 1: me crazy on the show. What's going on? I know
Speaker 1: he's adorable now with his two kids. Oh, such such
Speaker 1: a wonderful dad, such a great person like I. But
Speaker 1: his outfits, say, are hilarious to know on the shop
Speaker 1: you you looked out. You didn't see him in like
Speaker 1: a tank top and short shorts in this episode. Well yes,
Speaker 1: but also the one earring that David sports. That's another
Speaker 1: nineties when my husband had that too. Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: always tell now the men that had had that because
Speaker 1: they still had the little scar. YEA, what was your
Speaker 1: favorite fashion moment? Hands down, the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Brandon wears that hat on his head when he went
Speaker 1: to the races. Now I can't even remember what was it.
Speaker 1: It was like a Treuker hat, but like flipped up
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, don't do it, put it down. I
Speaker 1: can't handle it. That was in for a while. Do
Speaker 1: you remember hydro color? Was it hydro colors where you
Speaker 1: like blow in it and then they would change your
Speaker 1: circolow would chain. No, this was that was a thing
Speaker 1: that was really big. I would have been called hydro
Speaker 1: colors though we all should have been. Can come back.
Speaker 1: Brandon's hat it bothered me even more than Andrea's hat
Speaker 1: with the flower Andrew's had. Andrew's style throughout was not
Speaker 1: my favorite. It went in and out, in and out.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah. Also, hairstyles in the nineties are crimping.
Speaker 1: The like the curl, but you can't tell if the
Speaker 1: curl is just brushed out fully, if it's a natural
Speaker 1: girl that's brushed it didn't never touch a curling iron.
Speaker 1: It just can't. It comes that way. They're great, It's
Speaker 1: so good. Okay, So in honor of our amazing writers,
