Speaker 1: Two Teas and a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Camrad Judge.
Speaker 2: Hi, guys, welcome to another episode of Two Teas and
Speaker 2: a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and Tamra Judge. We
Speaker 2: have Real Housewives Potomac Reunion Part three recap coming in.
Speaker 3: What did you feel about the overall reunion about being
Speaker 3: in three parts? I actually was gone out of town
Speaker 3: for part two, so I have not seen it. Do
Speaker 3: you think it was necessary to have three parts?
Speaker 4: Well, at the beginning, I was captivated.
Speaker 3: I yeah, the beginning really brought me in because Gordon
Speaker 3: with his bloodshot, crying eyes and telling us about his
Speaker 3: bipolar diagnosis, it was sad.
Speaker 4: It was really Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I think Gordon and Mia are putting the
Speaker 2: real and real housewives in this reunion. It was brave
Speaker 2: and commendable for Gordon to open up. And I also
Speaker 2: thought you could really see the respect Andy has for MEA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's not often that you see a couple
Speaker 3: get divorced, especially in housewife universe, and just be so
Speaker 3: good with each other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially when one has already moved on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think they probably, you know, by what
Speaker 2: we've seen, she probably has been moved on for quite
Speaker 2: some time. Yeah, and really just has empathy for him.
Speaker 2: But you had to also remember that Candace said Bravo
Speaker 2: told her to pull it back and not be so
Speaker 2: vitriolic this reunion. And then at the end of this
Speaker 2: reunion you see her look off stage and she says, oh,
Speaker 2: you want me to be friends with this about Giselle.
Speaker 4: I think that was very ten.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, hey, I'm not gonna say I've never
Speaker 5: gotten the Hey, you need to pull it back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, true, But yeah, the beginning I thought was
Speaker 2: super interesting and also good for people to see and hear,
Speaker 2: because not only if you're struggling with bipolar yourself or
Speaker 2: if your significant other is, you have been made aware.
Speaker 2: But the part that was so shocking to me was
Speaker 2: he was diagnosed two and a half years.
Speaker 5: Ago and I never talked about it, and he just.
Speaker 4: Said it's gotten worse over the years.
Speaker 2: And then I also didn't realize he's still a part
Speaker 2: owner of the business.
Speaker 4: He just can't run it any Yeah.
Speaker 5: I me too.
Speaker 3: Do you think that that's why his family to control
Speaker 3: the business because he's not fit mentally?
Speaker 5: I think some decisions.
Speaker 2: I think that's what he was implying, because he the
Speaker 2: way he spoke about the business was very different than
Speaker 2: he's spoken about it before before. It seemed like he
Speaker 2: was wronged and he was upset and he was going
Speaker 2: to come for his family. And remember, we couldn't really
Speaker 2: understand why Mia was like telling him, no, do not
Speaker 2: come for the family, like, which didn't really make sense.
Speaker 4: Now it does, it does?
Speaker 5: It does?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: He did say that he's in a better place with
Speaker 3: his family, which was good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: And Mia said she would continue to be taking care
Speaker 2: of him and do everything that she could, like that
Speaker 2: they were always going to be you know, is.
Speaker 3: This something that he said he's always had but he
Speaker 3: was never diagnosed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think there's still more
Speaker 2: to this story we probably need to hear. I mean,
Speaker 2: he said yes, but also he didn't really answer the
Speaker 2: medication question, and he and you saw when he didn't
Speaker 2: answer that mea kind of looked down. And you know,
Speaker 2: I can't speculate on anybody's mental health, but is somebody
Speaker 2: who struggles with like severe anxiety and OCD and medication
Speaker 2: of it all, I think that is a piece of
Speaker 2: the puzzle. And also same with therapy and it takes work.
Speaker 2: But some people need to be stabilized with medication, and
Speaker 2: you know, some don't. But I think it's I think
Speaker 2: it's a really good conversation that needs to be had
Speaker 2: because a lot of people struggle with bipolar.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I wonder if he will be on next season.
Speaker 4: I think so. I feel like the fact that he's
Speaker 4: moving in across the street.
Speaker 5: He's going to be the new Frank. Yeah, the new Frank,
Speaker 5: the new Frank and Dolores.
Speaker 2: But then his pod but then as mister Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then is mister Ink going to be on as well?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yeah,
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna film.
Speaker 2: Then Andy brings up the shrine. He explains that production
Speaker 2: was not aware of the alleged shrine prior to filming.
Speaker 2: Casting wanted Neka to come on the show through Wendy
Speaker 2: because they thought they had mutual friends. Andy asks Wendy
Speaker 2: what she needs from not going to move on. Wendy
Speaker 2: agrees to coexist, which is not really agreeing.
Speaker 3: That's not yeah, that's not agree and that's just saying
Speaker 3: we'll be cordial.
Speaker 2: Guys, I know, changing your lifestyle isn't easy, and doing
Speaker 2: it alone surely doesn't make it any easier. That's where
Speaker 2: all in by Teddy comes in with one simple yet
Speaker 2: powerful word, accountability. With your designated accountability coach accessible to

Speaker 2: whether you want to strengthen up or commit to more steps,
Speaker 2: all in has something for you. Head into all in
Speaker 2: by Teddy dot com and use code twatts now to
Speaker 2: get started.
Speaker 3: I mean, I really thought that Meca had a good
Speaker 3: first season based on what she had to work with. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't think she needs to go. I don't want
Speaker 3: to see her go. And obviously Bravo has wanted Neka
Speaker 3: for a while because she mentioned Married to Medicine wanting her.
Speaker 3: I think and I hope that she does pivot to
Speaker 3: that show because I think maybe that might be a
Speaker 3: better fit for her.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: Also, I think Andy made a really good point when
Speaker 2: he said sometimes like Andy almost kind of broke the
Speaker 2: fourth wall. He's like, sometimes in casting, yeah, as long
Speaker 2: as you know or you've met someone, or you're a
Speaker 2: friend of a friend, yeah, that's the But like, well
Speaker 2: that's how Jen got brought on. I hadn't talked her
Speaker 2: in a while, but she was She was a friend
Speaker 2: of mine back then that filmed.
Speaker 3: And had tried it out before. So they're like, oh,
Speaker 3: she's Tamma's friend. Yeah, so talk to her in a while.
Speaker 2: But Wendy kind of just had that like dismissive look
Speaker 2: of Mekka, like that she didn't even remember her. At
Speaker 2: this event where they met, there was only ten people.
Speaker 2: Then we get to Ashley and the divorce conversation. Andy
Speaker 2: brings up the speculation that Ashley's divorce is not real
Speaker 2: and made up for the show, and she will stay
Speaker 2: married to Michael.
Speaker 5: She's not being completely honest.
Speaker 3: I don't feel about her relationship with Michael.
Speaker 5: Do you think they should have kept Robin, said Ashley.
Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't actually have a problem with
Speaker 2: either of them.
Speaker 4: Do I think that this was Ashley's best season? No?
Speaker 2: No, I think Ashley at least admitting at the reunion
Speaker 2: that she and Michael are back to a toxic place,
Speaker 2: that she has filed a complaint to really initiate the
Speaker 2: divorce is really telling. Maybe that's why she was kind
Speaker 2: of taking a back seat this season. She was trying
Speaker 2: to keep things okay with Michael. Andy asked if there's
Speaker 2: anything she puts on the shared credit card, and she
Speaker 2: says no to t yeah. Wendy asked if she put
Speaker 2: her boobs on the AMX, and Ashley says yes. Ashley
Speaker 2: admits to massaging Michael's feet every night, which the entire cast,
Speaker 2: including anyone watching I assumed, fell out of their seats.
Speaker 2: Then she clarifies that she said massage with a d
Speaker 2: past tense.
Speaker 5: I don't want to massage anybody's feet.
Speaker 2: Do you do you think that she filed a complaint
Speaker 2: and is dating someone and was trying to secure another season,
Speaker 2: or do you think she really is going to divorce him.
Speaker 3: I don't know, because you know it's all talk, no action,
Speaker 3: and she talks about him different all the time.
Speaker 5: Yes, we're good. Oh, I see him every day. No,
Speaker 5: he's moved on.
Speaker 3: I don't see her really moving on. I would like
Speaker 3: to see her dating and doing other things and other
Speaker 3: than tiktoks, other than tiktoks and divorce him. But also,
Speaker 3: do you think it's a money thing, like she's he's
Speaker 3: keeping her and she doesn't want to lose that money.
Speaker 2: I think yeah, I think she's like, as long as
Speaker 2: it's not in a toxic place, she's happy to stay
Speaker 2: married because it makes life easier all around. But the
Speaker 2: question I have is, like Ashley made of butter, Like
Speaker 2: she is able to slide out of any real accountability
Speaker 2: or culpability of any mess she is in.
Speaker 4: How does she because she's.
Speaker 5: So damn cute and she just smiles and laughs, and
Speaker 5: she's really smart. She really is. She's intelligent, and she
Speaker 5: knows when not to speak.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: When she made the mess of the everything that happened
Speaker 2: between Wendy Cane Neka, oh yes, yeah, between Wendy and
Speaker 2: Necka are even that she she just pulls back and
Speaker 2: she's like, no, I can't. I didn't realize the magnitude.
Speaker 2: I made a mistake, like she she at that point,
Speaker 2: she knows when to pull back.
Speaker 5: But even when she's giving shaite, she does it with
Speaker 5: a smile.
Speaker 2: Do we think that Keiana is going to be back
Speaker 2: this season? Because I was a little bit shocked she
Speaker 2: was at the reunion.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, I think probably.
Speaker 4: I like her, Yeah, I do like her.
Speaker 3: I think that she might play a bigger role next season.
Speaker 3: Possibly they wouldn't have had her at the reunion if
Speaker 3: they were done.
Speaker 4: With her, That's what I thought. Well, but maybe they
Speaker 4: had to because maybe not.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, Andy asks Kiana what things at the GNAA event
Speaker 2: led to her injury, and Kierana says she was in
Speaker 2: her personal space and hit with glass. She said she
Speaker 2: was assaulted and that's why she ultimately fought back. Giselle
Speaker 2: says that after looking at that footage, she thinks everyone
Speaker 2: is responsible unless Deborah, Candace, Wendy and Kianna. Do you
Speaker 2: agree that the words play a factor in this altercation
Speaker 2: or do you think there should be no excuses made
Speaker 2: for physical altercation.
Speaker 3: I think that you have to get to a point
Speaker 3: in your life and you put big girl panties on,
Speaker 3: and when there is an altercation, walk away. Yeah, walk away,
Speaker 3: because nobody on that cast is worth going to jail for. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: idle battle or to hurt somebody. I mean there's times
Speaker 3: where you know, I've gotten very like my blood was
Speaker 3: boiling and I'm like, just walk away, just walk away. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't ever want to get to that point filming
Speaker 3: housewife show.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, at this point, I would have given
Speaker 2: Kiana flute myself for the way she handled Ashley had
Speaker 2: three Indian I was like, this is do.
Speaker 5: You think do you think she should return for another season?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean I'm not. I don't know that she needs
Speaker 4: to be a housewife.
Speaker 2: I would probably be okay with her being a friend
Speaker 2: to see how she comes in, just because we saw
Speaker 2: such a difference between how she was on that trip
Speaker 2: versus how she was like after the altercation. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, but I think that she has an interesting story.
Speaker 2: But then Andy gives the floor to anyone who wants
Speaker 2: to apologize or own anything. Before they wrap up, Robin
Speaker 2: and Candace say they have no hate or resentment towards
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 4: And that it will take time to mend their friendship.
Speaker 2: Andy brings up that there will be no movement between
Speaker 2: Mecca and Wendy, and then Andy says he's not even
Speaker 2: going to try with Giselle and Candace, and they start
Speaker 2: arguing again.
Speaker 3: And then Mecca and candas are the ones are no
Speaker 3: longer there, so he's like, why you know there's no movement,
Speaker 3: one of them's got to go.
Speaker 5: And if there's no and.
Speaker 2: Robin's gone to essentially he's pulling out everybody that there's
Speaker 2: no movement on.
Speaker 4: So that's my question.
Speaker 2: Is Meca pulled because there's no movement with maybe, but
Speaker 2: has tried to fix things with Wendy and.
Speaker 5: I feel that the same way. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe because Wendy has more seniority that they are keeping her.
Speaker 5: I don't know. But other than Jersey, have you ever
Speaker 5: seen a group this divided?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 5: And I don't think that we saw any resolution at
Speaker 5: the reunion.
Speaker 2: I don't think we saw any resolution. I think me,
Speaker 2: thank goodness for me at this reunion, or else I
Speaker 2: probably would have very much struggled. I appreciate her so
Speaker 2: much for all the things she shared, her ability to
Speaker 2: forgive and move on, but also her ability to be
Speaker 2: a mess herself, like, all of it, all of it.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mia for making Potomac possible, possible.
Speaker 3: Yes, watchable, And then you know the episode ends with
Speaker 3: Andy Bean crowned King of Potomac or something like that,
Speaker 3: and I've never seen him so happy in his life
Speaker 3: with that crown on.
Speaker 5: I gotta believe he's probably still wearing it.
Speaker 4: King Andy, show us your crown.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I have hope. I do think that Potomac
Speaker 2: can turn it around. I do love those ladies.
Speaker 3: And you can take the same cast and put them
Speaker 3: on next season. Who knows, could be the great best
Speaker 3: season ever.
Speaker 5: It's just you never know. Just certain seasons just don't
Speaker 5: hit right.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: But thank you guys for tuning in. Make sure that
Speaker 2: you guys also tune in for our TWATS flashback episodes
Speaker 2: because we are starting Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season.
Speaker 4: Two, episode one and two.
Speaker 2: In our first flashback, and who I mean one and
Speaker 2: two weren't super juicy, but episode three looks like it's
Speaker 2: gonna be coming. That's gonna be the Suitcas episode.
Speaker 5: It gets there, It gets there, Oh my god.
