Speaker 1: To Teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamra Judge.
Speaker 2: Hi, guys, welcome to another episode of to Teas and
Speaker 2: a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and Tamra Judge.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2: Good morning. Today we have on special guests from Dubai
Speaker 2: Telene Marie Tellin. Marie was introduced to the Ladies of
Speaker 2: Dubai from her longtime friend Caroline Brooks. When she develops
Speaker 2: a surprising friendship with Caroline Stanbury, her loyalty to Brooks
Speaker 2: is called into question. She is Armenian American and grew
Speaker 2: up in the United States. She is a trained singer
Speaker 2: who opened for Christina Aguilera. Her music has appeared on
Speaker 2: America's Next Top Model and Idol and all the things.
Speaker 2: And I think she has been a great addition to
Speaker 2: to buy Some Excited.
Speaker 3: Probably one of the best newbies across the board on
Speaker 3: every franchise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she came in, and she came in hot, but
Speaker 2: not so hot that it seemed like she was faking.
Speaker 3: It, faking it or thirsty or anything like that. But
Speaker 3: do you think she's still good friends with Brooks?
Speaker 2: No, My guess is they're not friends at all.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna agree with you. Yeah, that's why you will
Speaker 3: find out we will.
Speaker 2: I guess we will find out shortly.
Speaker 3: Telene, welcome. Oh my god, we were just talking about you.
Speaker 3: We did your intro saying how amazing you are probably
Speaker 3: one of the best newbies we've ever seen across the franchise.
Speaker 4: Geez. Guys coming from like, oh geez like you. You like,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm fangirling here.
Speaker 3: They oh, stop it. You just have the perfect balance.
Speaker 3: I think sometimes new girls come in and this is
Speaker 3: You're the type of girl you just get it. You
Speaker 3: go in and you just get it. And there's there's
Speaker 3: housewives that they keep, but it takes them two or
Speaker 3: three years to kind of get it. They're shy in that,
Speaker 3: but not you.
Speaker 4: I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2: But you came in hot, but not so hot that
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, she's full of ship.
Speaker 3: Or she's thirsty.
Speaker 4: Came in even hotter.
Speaker 2: Oh we did. We talked about that with Jay for
Speaker 2: a couple of episodes.
Speaker 3: I feel I was hoping for some pictures.
Speaker 2: Just did you start an only fans yet?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Not yet, not yet. The hobby first, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: I just don't tell them. He'll never know exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like they'd be fine with that in Dubai.
Speaker 3: That's gonna go over really well.
Speaker 2: How would you describe your first season? And one word, oh.
Speaker 4: That is a great question revealing.
Speaker 2: Okay, were you nervous?
Speaker 3: Were you nervous at all? Like first time housewives?
Speaker 2: Did you have to.
Speaker 4: Look I yes, The short answer is yes, of course.
Speaker 4: You know you're you're going into a group of ladies.
Speaker 4: You know, they've already done a season together. I didn't
Speaker 4: really know, uh, you know, all the ladies very well.
Speaker 4: I had kind of met them in passing. I obviously
Speaker 4: knew Caroline Brooks, but you know, I remember like the
Speaker 4: first lunch it was like the good Weather brunch that
Speaker 4: we had. That was my first scene with all of them,
Speaker 4: and it was kind of like a hazing period, you know,
Speaker 4: and and they, you know, they kind of had their
Speaker 4: issues with Brooks. So, you know, me coming in with Brooks,
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't want them to necessarily, you know,
Speaker 4: take that out on me. But I kind of felt
Speaker 4: like I was starting in the negative a little bit.
Speaker 3: So are you saying you were welcomed by the other woman?
Speaker 3: Are not so much? I?
Speaker 2: Yes, and no, it was you know who was the hardest,
Speaker 2: who was the least welcoming, and who made it the easiest.
Speaker 4: I would say Sarah Almadonnie was probably the most welcoming
Speaker 4: the least. It's it's it's a tough one because Lisa
Speaker 4: was nice, but I just felt like I just felt
Speaker 4: some fakeness there, Like I felt like she was because
Speaker 4: she was going through her issue, so I felt like
Speaker 4: she was kind of sessing me out and I get it.
Speaker 4: And then of course I had my issues with Stanbury
Speaker 4: right with Vagina Gate, So yeah, I just felt like
Speaker 4: I was, you know, I was kind of coming in
Speaker 4: the negative. And I remember after that that brunch, I
Speaker 4: came home and I just all trying to raffie to
Speaker 4: my husband and I was like, I don't think I
Speaker 4: can do this, like really well, because I didn't know
Speaker 4: that the VJ stuff was going to come out like
Speaker 4: they went in.
Speaker 3: And it's worse. It's so bad to be blindsided by
Speaker 3: something when you go and you're like, what are you
Speaker 3: kidding me?
Speaker 2: But you let it just roll off your shoulders. It
Speaker 2: seemed like it didn't bug you at all.
Speaker 4: I did, and you know, like Teddy and I'm like that,
Speaker 4: you know, in real life, like it's it's I keep
Speaker 4: it moving, and I think if you give it too
Speaker 4: much energy, then it becomes a thing. So and it
Speaker 4: wasn't even a thing. But yeah, it just it was,
Speaker 4: as you said, Tamra, I was just blindsided. I was
Speaker 4: blindsided and so was my the Jay.
Speaker 2: Do you think watching it back, that Stanberry was being
Speaker 2: a little shitty about it, or that it really was
Speaker 2: just Brookes trying to stir it.
Speaker 4: You know, that's a great question, I think, And now
Speaker 4: that I know Stanberry and I understand you know, the
Speaker 4: British humor and the banter, I think it was really
Speaker 4: said in passing as a Joe. And then I think
Speaker 4: Brooks just gave the story legs and the Jay and
Speaker 4: just kept bringing it up. I don't think Stanbury said
Speaker 4: it ill willed or I don't think there was any
Speaker 4: like negative.
Speaker 2: Like no judgment. It was just.
Speaker 4: Not judge you. I mean her where we've fallen into
Speaker 4: butshes together we saw.
Speaker 3: Did you ever watch Stanbury on Ladies of London?
Speaker 4: I never. My sister was big into Ladies of London.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen one episode, but I've heard she's.
Speaker 3: I watched it. I watched it on the treadmill yesterday.
Speaker 3: The first episode. I've watched it a long time ago,
Speaker 3: but I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna watch it was?
Speaker 4: What was she like on now?
Speaker 3: She was exactly the same. Her kids are really little.
Speaker 3: They did mention that her her family is worth one
Speaker 3: billion dollars.
Speaker 4: Wow, I know.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: That's a bee. That's a bee right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a big bee. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Her husband seemed very nice, you know, he was
Speaker 3: wasn't like douche or anything like that.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: She she looks almost exactly the same.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think she looks even better now.
Speaker 3: No, she actually she looks better now. But she but
Speaker 3: you know how some people like they drastically change their face. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's that's not the case at all with her.
Speaker 4: She's she's in general, I feel like she's aged well.
Speaker 4: And then the face slift just like took.
Speaker 3: It to elevate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm thirty six and I'm like like in
Speaker 4: five six years or eight years, like I'm looking at
Speaker 4: maybe you know, getting a couple.
Speaker 3: Of little yet why not?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did that pull her up.
Speaker 4: But like let's just let's get under the knighte.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and I like how open she is about it.
Speaker 4: She is. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did you watch any Housewives shows before joining? I did.
Speaker 4: I did, but it was very sporadic. I ever watched
Speaker 4: like full seasons. I did watch your Guys in the
Speaker 4: in the way beginning. I watched Beverly Hills. I watched
Speaker 4: one or two seasons of OC and one season of Jersey,
Speaker 4: Like I never consistently kept up with it.
Speaker 2: And have you met like your favorite housewife? Like have
Speaker 2: how many of these events have you gone to? And
Speaker 2: is there somebody was Bravo.
Speaker 3: Yesterday? Teddy said you were a Bravo con. I go?
Speaker 5: She was?
Speaker 2: Was? She was?
Speaker 4: Who the hell I was? Because A the show wasn't out.
Speaker 4: It was like I had just gotten announced at Bravo con.
Speaker 4: So it was like, you know, I didn't know whether
Speaker 4: like security wanted to escort me out or like I was,
Speaker 4: but I do belong here. No, I wasn't bravopon and
Speaker 4: that was that was the trip because I you know,
Speaker 4: that's like, you know, I met Erica Jane. I I
Speaker 4: adore her. She's she's amazing and she was so sweet
Speaker 4: and Vicky I don't know, Tamras, are you good with Vicky?
Speaker 4: Like I haven't seen oc in a while.
Speaker 3: Send Vicky's Vicky nothing?
Speaker 4: All right? All right, that's enough. But she, you know,
Speaker 4: she's she is an o G. I mean, she's been
Speaker 4: there from day one. Yeah, and she gave me really
Speaker 4: good advice about you know, not your marriage because she's
Speaker 4: she's been there.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So Rappie was next to me and she was like,
Speaker 4: just make sure you guys are on the same page, right,
Speaker 4: because you know it can be times.
Speaker 3: I have a whole philosophy.
Speaker 2: But I just loved and you said that.
Speaker 3: Because she blames her marriage falling apart with Dawn because
Speaker 3: of the show. Now I'm not I'm not subscribing to that.
Speaker 3: If you have a solid marriage, you will be fine.
Speaker 3: But if you're on shaky foundation, you're paying I can
Speaker 3: fall apart right right.
Speaker 4: It can magnify, you know, any kind of issues that
Speaker 4: you might have. But in all cases, I mean I
Speaker 4: did appreciate her like taking us aside and and giving her,
Speaker 4: you know, her piece of advice.
Speaker 2: But also how close of friends with Brooks were you before?
Speaker 2: Because sometimes this can be a lot of years, I know,
Speaker 2: but sometimes I have.
Speaker 4: Well so so yeah so I so I met her.
Speaker 4: She was one of the first people I met. I
Speaker 4: met her through my brother in law. We we were
Speaker 4: not best friends. I'm gonna put it out there right now.
Speaker 4: We were friends, you know. I'd see her out, we
Speaker 4: partied together. It was it was one of them. But
Speaker 4: you know, if I had a birthday.
Speaker 3: Or or like social friends.
Speaker 4: Social, she would, you know, I'd invite her. And this
Speaker 4: I even, uh, you know, when I was doing personal training.
Speaker 4: I worked with her on not and fitness, but would
Speaker 4: like I pick up the phone and you know, you know,
Speaker 4: tell her like my you know, my life story. No,
Speaker 4: it wasn't in that sense. But when we were good,
Speaker 4: we were good.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: She she's fun, she's fun to go out with. I
Speaker 4: love a good party, as you guys know. So it
Speaker 4: was it was more on on that vibe.
Speaker 3: I love that you're in fitness like us. I feel
Speaker 3: like we are three t's in a pod right now. Yes,
Speaker 3: I love your body is rocking. I totally appreciate it
Speaker 3: because it's.
Speaker 4: Coming from you. That that means to come to Dubai
Speaker 4: and do my boot camp.
Speaker 2: We would love that.
Speaker 3: I would love. No Eddie's been to Dubai, but we
Speaker 3: were justly. We have friends that go to Dubai all
Speaker 3: the time. We were at their wedding. In fact, they
Speaker 3: had people fly in from Dubai because the owners of
Speaker 3: Ferrari out there. They flew into this a wedding, and
Speaker 3: so we were talking about going to Dubai. I'm like,
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna go Dubaye, I'm going with you because
Speaker 3: you everything is they used to live there all that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so our friends are like any time, anytime, Yes,
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm not done with Brooks yet, though I'm sorry to
Speaker 2: people are insinuated, like saying that she seems off this
Speaker 2: season if you were to guess, I mean, I know
Speaker 2: we're supposed to be believing that it's because she's busy
Speaker 2: with work and she's you know, pulled in a lot
Speaker 2: of different directions. But part of it, when I'm watching it,
Speaker 2: and I like Brooks, I've hung out with her before
Speaker 2: and she's always been really fun, but part of it
Speaker 2: looks like she's just trying to instigate, like that's her
Speaker 2: sole mission, you know.
Speaker 4: Teddy and I and I and I told Andy this.
Speaker 4: I feel like Brooks is very calculated in a lot
Speaker 4: of of what she does, and that's what makes her
Speaker 4: actually a great business woman, an entrepreneur. But in terms of,
Speaker 4: you know, socially, I feel like there was a motive
Speaker 4: in her, you know, referring my name to the producers.
Speaker 4: And by the way, you know, she keeps saying I
Speaker 4: gave to Lena career.
Speaker 2: I'm you know, you got yourself the job.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, what career? What is she talking about housewives?
Speaker 3: Because Housewives is not a career.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm not Meryl Streep, all right, We're like at the
Speaker 4: bottom of the totem. I'm like a dealer celebrity at best.
Speaker 4: But I digress. I appreciate her putting my name forward. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: But I'll be damned if somebody takes the fact away
Speaker 4: that I went through a lengthy audition process.
Speaker 3: You and probably a thousand other women, and you won.
Speaker 4: And Brooks not only referred my name, she referred six
Speaker 4: of her other friends, and the other housewives referred seven
Speaker 4: of their other right, you know what I mean. So,
Speaker 4: and again, I'm grateful that she gave my name. Did
Speaker 4: I beg her to be on the show? Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: It was a very difficult decision for my husband and
Speaker 4: I because my husband, he's been in Dubai for twenty years.
Speaker 4: He works with the government, and you know, these shows
Speaker 4: are built on scandal, and if we were in the
Speaker 4: States to be different, but in Dubai, to tread lightly.
Speaker 3: I gotta believe it's difficult to film this show and
Speaker 3: Tobai it is.
Speaker 4: It is, and it was not an Overnet decision. But
Speaker 4: you know, I'm tired of this narrative that she gave
Speaker 4: me this career where apparently you know I've won an oscar,
Speaker 4: I'm Meryl Street. I mean, it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I also want to point out that a lot of time,
Speaker 2: when you refer a friend to be on the show,
Speaker 2: it's actually good for you, so you can't it wasn't.
Speaker 3: It wasn't good for me. And it was the same situation,
Speaker 3: like I knew her socially. She came to my gym.
Speaker 3: I referred six people like five years prior, and you know,
Speaker 3: they re reevaluate all those girls all the time where
Speaker 3: they're at in their life each season, and she got
Speaker 3: hired and everyone's like, how dare you she was your
Speaker 3: best friend? I'm like, oh no, absolutely not right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. And I think people don't realize it. I
Speaker 4: mean we do because we're on the show. But I
Speaker 4: went through like an extensive, like four to five months
Speaker 4: audition process with so many other women. Yeah, and again
Speaker 4: I'm grateful. I'm grateful she put my name forward. But
Speaker 4: do I owe her my organ No? Do I owe
Speaker 4: her like my kidneys? Like, you know, where's it going
Speaker 4: to end? Well?
Speaker 3: Where does your friendship stand now? Because I noticed you
Speaker 3: guys don't follow each other on Instagram?
Speaker 4: We don't and uh we you know, it's it's it's
Speaker 4: weird because and I don't want to give too much away,
Speaker 4: but yeah, we're not in a in a good place.
Speaker 4: And you know a lot of that has to do
Speaker 4: I think with the wars that she kind of fights
Speaker 4: in her own head. And look, she's dragged my family,
Speaker 4: She's threatened my family on Twitter.
Speaker 3: She's That's why I draw the line.
Speaker 4: And that's where I draw the line. And that's why
Speaker 4: I said, I maybe said things I shouldn't have said.
Speaker 4: Don't watch what Happens Live?
Speaker 2: What is it that you said? You made a joke
Speaker 2: like Brookes sleeping with a lot of men?
Speaker 4: Yes, and and and you know what I meant by that?
Speaker 4: Is like she you know, she dates rich rich men,
Speaker 4: but you know who doesn't want to date rich men
Speaker 4: in Dubai.
Speaker 3: She's single, so she can date who she wants.
Speaker 4: I exactly, I don't. I don't know where where that stands.
Speaker 4: But I think that was just so pent up from
Speaker 4: you know, the damage that she was doing on social
Speaker 4: media that I just kind of was like, you know,
Speaker 4: I blurted some of the bull shut out.
Speaker 3: Now I'm really shocked about her constant tweeting.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's insane.
Speaker 3: Right, it's it's it's a bit she needs to put
Speaker 3: her phone down, Like does she have somebody running that account?
Speaker 2: Or every time she's like this is a good idea.
Speaker 4: If she had somebody running her account, I don't think
Speaker 4: she would be They would they I don't think they
Speaker 4: would green like that. But but regardless of anything, you
Speaker 4: know a lot of people like are saying, oh, you
Speaker 4: turned on Brooks. Now you're riding the Stanbury train, the
Speaker 4: stand wagon.
Speaker 3: I went through that last year.
Speaker 4: Girl, Dude. What people don't see or understand is this
Speaker 4: is a build up of so much crap that is
Speaker 4: not shown on camera, which you guys know, Yeah, I
Speaker 4: mean if anyone knows. I feel like we're in a
Speaker 4: support group right now. Yeah, like you know, you guys
Speaker 4: know so much is not shown, so you know, people see,
Speaker 4: you know, those little highlights and then they make their own,
Speaker 4: you know, narrative and perception about it. But it was
Speaker 4: such a build up. I mean, I had so many
Speaker 4: private conversations with her where I was like, stop the
Speaker 4: drama under the show is dramatic enough. I can't take
Speaker 4: the three am calls afterwards hitting people against each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 4: And I had it.
Speaker 2: I was trying to be Bobby Fisher.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, but but I was coming from a
Speaker 4: place of love. I wasn't coming to like outwork. It
Speaker 4: just it gets to a point where you've had enough.
Speaker 2: And you also said on watch What Happens Live, but
Speaker 2: then you backtracked, but you said Stanbury abuses Sergio. Yeah,
Speaker 2: have you spoken to Stanbury since you made that comment?
Speaker 4: I have, And and look, Stanbury and I were in
Speaker 4: a great place, and you know, in the context of
Speaker 4: the scene, I meant to say that, you know, I
Speaker 4: felt like she was a bit hard on him, but look,
Speaker 4: moving stressful. You know, I can only imagine what they
Speaker 4: were going through They are actually an incredible couple together
Speaker 4: and they both know that. So we you know, we
Speaker 4: didn't we didn't argue about it or anything. We moved
Speaker 4: past it. I you know, I I've actually never seen
Speaker 4: somebody like love a wife as much as Sergio loves her,
Speaker 4: really and he does get dragged for that and this
Speaker 4: and but it's but it's really genuine. And I'll tell
Speaker 4: you I noticed it when we went on our cast
Speaker 4: thread and the cameras were all off. I was sitting
Speaker 4: next to Stanbury on the on the flight just as
Speaker 4: we were about to take off, and the messages he
Speaker 4: was sending to her just you know, because we were
Speaker 4: about to get on a flight, like the cameras weren't there,
Speaker 4: Like he wasn't looking for a moment. It was actually real,
Speaker 4: really really genuine. So yeah, to go back to your
Speaker 4: abuse thing, in the context, I did feel like she
Speaker 4: was a bit too hard on him, but I get
Speaker 4: it moving as stressful. Does she abuse him? Absolutely not
Speaker 4: that you take the piss. She's British.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And who do you think will be pregnant first?
Speaker 2: You are? Stanbury?
Speaker 4: Lord, that's a really great.
Speaker 3: That's a really good question.
Speaker 2: Today, I think you will be.
Speaker 3: No, I please don't don't know that to me.
Speaker 2: Love that.
Speaker 4: I love that picture that he's super imposed.
Speaker 2: No, no, I've closed up shop. That's done shop. No,
Speaker 2: but that I might as well.
Speaker 4: God, I feel like Raffie is not that we use condoms,
Speaker 4: but if we did, he'd like poke a hole in
Speaker 4: one because he is dying for that third.
Speaker 3: Really, but I think it's gonna happen or no.
Speaker 4: I'm like sixty forty sixty percent of the time, Like
Speaker 4: when I'm drinking, I'm like, yeah, I want a third,
Speaker 4: And then like when I'm like forty percent and like
Speaker 4: my sanity takes over, I'm like, no, fing way. Yeah, well, guys,
Speaker 4: I had a hard time to get to my pregnancy
Speaker 4: and I went through three miscarriages. You guys know the
Speaker 4: toll the hormones takes the men. Men don't realize it.
Speaker 4: And we should be so grateful that we have and
Speaker 4: Rafie is, but we should be so grateful that we
Speaker 4: have two healthy children and not take that for granted.
Speaker 4: But he really wants that boy, Like I said, he
Speaker 4: thinks it's like Game of Thrones.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, if it happens, it happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean, it happens that I'm telling you,
Speaker 4: it's probably gonna.
Speaker 3: Be a girl, and that'll be good. Do you think
Speaker 3: that Caroline wants a baby.
Speaker 4: Again? I think sometimes she does, and I think sometimes
Speaker 4: she is. I think most of the time, know, but
Speaker 4: I think sometimes she does because of the love she
Speaker 4: has for Sergio, and she has told me she knows
Speaker 4: Sergio would be a good dob and he would. I
Speaker 4: do feel like there's that inner, inner battle with her,
Speaker 4: for sure. But I mean, look, if I were her
Speaker 4: at that, you know, you know, being her age, and
Speaker 4: she's already been through that, I get it. I understand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had I had Sophia at thirty eight, and
Speaker 3: I just felt like exhausted all the time, Like, oh
Speaker 3: my god.
Speaker 4: I mean even though even when I was pregnant with Siena,
Speaker 4: you know, it was I was thirty four, and that
Speaker 4: I felt a difference. You know, Oh, I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: As you get older, it just it's tougher. It's tougher
Speaker 4: on the body. But men don't get it.
Speaker 2: Then you get it. To shift gears to Lisa and
Speaker 2: Chanelle's relationship. You know, at the beginning, we're seeing things
Speaker 2: that are good and then we are starting to see
Speaker 2: the cracks, you know, break, and I was wondering, are
Speaker 2: they the same on the show as they are off
Speaker 2: the show? And what if you could like spill any
Speaker 2: little tea on where we are with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. Look with Chanelle, what you see is
Speaker 4: what you get. I mean, I know Lisa was on
Speaker 4: your podcast a few months ago and she said, like,
Speaker 4: there's different versions of Ion, and I really beg to
Speaker 4: differ on that one because she is actually one of
Speaker 4: the most genuine people, like literally the craziness, the you know,
Speaker 4: the drama, like her dramatic self. It's it's real Lisa
Speaker 4: as well. I do think she is genuine most of
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: I will say, I mean she did call her fake
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the pod.
Speaker 2: I didn't miss that part.
Speaker 4: But I will say it's sad because they actually genuinely
Speaker 4: had a really really strong friendship. And I don't want
Speaker 4: to give too much away, but what you're gonna see
Speaker 4: is extremely shocking, and it's I feel bad for Ion
Speaker 4: because she really was blindsided in a lot of what happened.
Speaker 4: From my perspective. Again, you know, you know, when you
Speaker 4: see the whole show play out, you know, maybe we'll
Speaker 4: see all sides of it. But because I know Ion,
Speaker 4: I know her heart, I know how loyal she was
Speaker 4: to Lisa, it's it's it's gonna be tough to see,
Speaker 4: and it was tough to see. I mean that finale
Speaker 4: is it's it's mind blown.
Speaker 3: Can you help us understand something? Why does Chanel go
Speaker 3: by Ion? Her name is Chanel even even when she
Speaker 3: comes out her title is her last name?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Ion? Well, her last name is Ion, right.
Speaker 3: I know, but she goes by her last name. Everybody
Speaker 3: calls her last name. But I get that with the Caroline.
Speaker 4: Why are you just pointing that out to me? Like
Speaker 4: I've never even noticed that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the opening titles, it's her last name.
Speaker 4: It's interesting.
Speaker 2: How did I not notice this?
Speaker 4: I didn't even notice that.
Speaker 2: I'm really revved up at my OCD self for not noticing.
Speaker 3: Go back and look. I was like, why is I
Speaker 3: don't know?
Speaker 4: But now I'm gonna like keep my eyes filled for
Speaker 4: that one.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if she just prefers that or I didn't.
Speaker 2: I just yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Call her Chanel sometimes, I call her Ion, sometimes I
Speaker 4: call her bitch. Sometimes.
Speaker 3: If my name was Chanelle, I'd be going by Chanelle
Speaker 3: all the time. But your name is Tamra and minus Teddy,
Speaker 3: so my name is Tammy Sue.
Speaker 2: So my name is Teddy Joe. So we can only
Speaker 2: do some Joe.
Speaker 4: The horse Show.
Speaker 2: We have a couple of quick fan questions before we
Speaker 2: know we have to let you go. The first one
Speaker 2: and this is a shady one which we start with
Speaker 2: next season. If you had to say that one current
Speaker 2: Dubai housewife must be demoted to a friend of who
Speaker 2: would you say? And do you think anybody should be promote?
Speaker 2: Like I know that there's I think two other girls
Speaker 2: that are new.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's Saba. She's literally I'd rather watch paint dry.
Speaker 3: Well, there you go. There's the answer.
Speaker 4: So there it is. Yeah, but she's a friend of
Speaker 4: I would demote her off the show completely.
Speaker 3: Where does a friend to go go down from there?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: That would be Vicky.
Speaker 5: That would be Vicky.
Speaker 2: Okay. So then to close out, is there anything you
Speaker 2: want to tell us about Christina Aguilera.
Speaker 3: I want to hear about your singing her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's so I opened up for her
Speaker 4: when she was in Abu Dabi. I was actually living
Speaker 4: in Los Angele I lived in la for about eight years,
Speaker 4: ten years ago, which feels like a lifetime ago.
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 4: Opened up for her actually in the UAE, which is
Speaker 4: crazy that it kind of came full circle. I will
Speaker 4: say this, and this is not to put the throat
Speaker 4: shade and Christina, because God only knows what she was
Speaker 4: dealing with at the time. But she was like, you
Speaker 4: know how they say, like, never meet your heroes, right,
Speaker 4: she was my hero at the time, right, and I was,
Speaker 4: you know, twenty twenty one, and for me to be
Speaker 4: opening up for her, it was a huge moment in
Speaker 4: my life. So right before, sorry, right before she gets on,
Speaker 4: right after I did a two hour set, I flew
Speaker 4: out my band. I did some original songs and also
Speaker 4: a couple of covers, and Christina was great and the
Speaker 4: fact that she let me use all her sound and Mike,
Speaker 4: like she could have been a diva about it that she,
Speaker 4: you know, her team allowed that. But I go into
Speaker 4: the room to meet her, and like in my head,
Speaker 4: I thought we were just gonna like ride off into
Speaker 4: the sunset together and bestie, you know, like you imagine
Speaker 4: these things, right. So I walk in right before she's
Speaker 4: getting on stage, and I'm like, Christina, it was such
Speaker 4: an honor to open up for you, thank you so much,
Speaker 4: and I like put my hand out and she literally
Speaker 4: just like looks at me. It gives me like a
Speaker 4: dead fish handshake and just walks away. And for three
Speaker 4: years after that, I couldn't even listen to her music.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, were you replaying that conversation in
Speaker 2: your head over where? It was my tone? Weird? What
Speaker 2: did I say?
Speaker 4: This? Should I? But now you know, in hindsight, I mean,
Speaker 4: at that point, it was like the worst thing in
Speaker 4: my life. But now in hindsight, I'm like, this woman
Speaker 4: was getting ready to go on stage. You know, I'm
Speaker 4: there like fangirling, thank you for I can only imagine
Speaker 4: like what she was dealing with, but it was. It
Speaker 4: was disappointing.
Speaker 2: It's something you'll never forget. Well.
Speaker 3: I hate to tell you this, but I had a
Speaker 3: very good experience with Christina Aguilar.
Speaker 4: No that makes me happy.
Speaker 3: I was on a press tour after my wedding and
Speaker 3: there was a big press tour. Everybody's going to different
Speaker 3: rooms and she came out and she's like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: tam Ran Eddie, I love you guys. And I was
Speaker 3: like you were her hero. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: me little on me?
Speaker 5: How do you know me?
Speaker 3: But wow, just not like she followed me on Instagram.
Speaker 4: There was there was no you're literally boring salt on
Speaker 4: my wound. Right now, Tam.
Speaker 2: Loves to give a little just a little bit of sault.
Speaker 4: She's like, yeah, a little salt may action.
Speaker 3: This was like eleven years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Well and again I get it, like you know, it
Speaker 4: was in passing, but it was a great show. It
Speaker 4: ended up being, you know, an incredible experience and I
Speaker 4: miss being back.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I hate to add more salt to the wound. But
Speaker 3: Christina Aguilera follows two housewives, Derenda and Melissa, not me,
Speaker 3: Derenda and Melissa.
Speaker 4: Who I've met both of them. They're awesome.
Speaker 3: I wonder if Melissa opened up for her.
Speaker 2: Telene, if there was one song this is what will
Speaker 2: leave us with so that people can do a little
Speaker 2: bit of homework. If there's one song you would have
Speaker 2: us download that you performed that we can find on
Speaker 2: Apple Music, what would it be?
Speaker 4: You know, I am I'm obsessed with Christmas and I
Speaker 4: love putting out Christmas songs. I'm actually working on putting
Speaker 4: out a Christmas album, so I would say I was
Speaker 4: a merry little Christmas and uh oh holy night that
Speaker 4: I just release. I know their covers, but just vocally
Speaker 4: and what you know, what they're about. It means a
Speaker 4: lot to me. And it is on iTunes.

Speaker 4: You know, I used to perform at all the gay
Speaker 4: bars in La so like I have a couple of
