This is Teddy Teapot with Teddy and Kevin. Hi, guys, welcome to this week's Teddy Teapod. I've got to say that I have really no idea what you're in store for. Normally, before every podcast, we kind of talked through who the guests are, what we're gonna be doing. I get sent a rundown, but this time the producer sent me nothing, and I have a feeling it's because I am turning forty and they have something up their sleeve. Maybe guest colors. I don't know, but going into forty definitely feels better than I thought it would, Like, I really, I remember when I was younger and when I would like ask my mom how old she was and she'd say thirty six, and I'd be like, wow, that is so old, and I would think that in my head. And now that I'm forty, I mean I really and until I see myself in a picture with someone who's like in their twenties, that's how old I actually feel. And I know that sounds kind of cheesy, but I am young at heart, except for the fact that I like to go to bed at eight thirty at night. But I really feel good in my own skin going into forty and I can't say that about twenty or even thirties. So, you know, it's it's emotional, like I'm just so happy that I've gotten into a place in my life where i feel confident and I feel comfortable, and I feel proud and excited. Um. And then I have a loving family supporting me. Um. So I'm glad of all the work that We've done as a family and all the work that I've personally done on myself throughout these last you know, forty years. Um. And in regards to plans, I am going to be spending it with my family. Booked. Um, I just booked it. I I know how I am. So it's like I booked my favorite restaurant. We're in Orange County right now, so book my favorite restaurant here. It's called South the next you know, I love to have an early dinner with the family at you know where we can all have fun. Plus it's the only time Death can actually attend. If not, she's completely nightmare baby. And just spend the day at the beach, um, and then spend the fourth out here, and then I'm gonna go get a little wild next week I am going with ten couples to celebrate my birthday range your style next week. Edwin asked me if there's anything you could want for your birthday, what would you want? And I said, I want to go away. Like we're all vaccinated, we're all feeling good, Like I want to go away with my friends. I want to be with my family and my actual birthday. But then I want to go and we have so many fun things planned, which I'll have to do a recap with that later, but I'm really excited. Um, it's also my ten year wedding anniversary this week, so pretty much all the things. We're celebrating all the things. And I can tell you guys, but my husband. I was teasing my husband and I was like, so far tenure, you know, I think that's diamonds, And he's like, I bet you didn't even get me anything. Why are you giving a tough time? Like I'm kidding, I'm getting star about the gifts. But I am surprising him today with a golf cart because we live like where we live, we can drive around and he's been wanting one forever. So I'm actually really proud of myself. Plus I can't wait for him to feel awkward when he hasn't gotten anything. This is why we've lasted ten years because of this, and then you know what, he'll double down later. I can assure you of that. Oh my gosh. Well, anyways, thanks for listening in again this week and I look forward. What's in store, Danielle, what's coming for me? Please? Hey, so we have a we have somebody calling in shortly. Um, they'll be popping into the Zoom waiting room soon. But before that person calls in, UM, we want to grill you with a couple of questions. Okay, not really grill, but just kind of, you know, ask you some questions about the last decade of your life. So, since you're turning forty, they say, and you've lived through your thirties and your twenties, they say that you're the thirties of the new twenties of your life in the forties or your new thirties? Is that? Do you think that's true? Have you felt that way? I don't know if it's necessarily the new but I what I'm focusing on going into my forties is peace and just I've never been a you know, I'm very goal oriented. I want the best. I work really hard, but I've never really focused on feeling peace, and like, that's really what I want to go into this like next year. You know, like I've had a lot of success, I've had a lot of fun. I still want, you know, a million things. I still have a lot of dreams, but I really want to just focus on being at peace with myself and my life. And in your thirties, if you had to pick one moment, obviously there's been so much, all your kids, obviously getting you know, married, all that stuff, what has been like the one moment that tops all of it. If you had to pick one thing, and I can't say my kids, can't say kids, Okay, if I can't can't pick one of them, I hope like I can't, well, I would have just said kids having my kids, Um, I would say in the last oh my gosh, hold on, okay, and this this year would like, I mean, the last two years would have been the best thing. I think the best thing has been realizing who I actually am. I think for most of my life I was kind of like a show girl, you know, like I always put on a show for family, for friends, for whatever, and you know, being in my thirties was really a year of you know, figuring it out. Who am I really? Who do I want to be? I need to focus on not what other people want from me, but what I want for myself and being able to feel that and be vulnerable and open and like do the work. It feels good. And now that you're approaching the next decade of your life, your forties, what do you hope to either do differently or what are you envisioning for the next ten years so that when we do this podcast on your fiftieth birthday you can play it back that we're gonna really be in and for a doozy. Then. I think what I'm most looking forward to through the next ten years, it's just having as much fun as I can. You know, I think so often I take myself too seriously. I love to laugh and I love when people laugh. But like at night when I'm going to bed, sometimes it's like I just am constantly going through all the things I need to do, I want to do, I want to and I really want I want to just have some fun, like try to lighten up, have more fun, be present and watch I mean, my kids are hilarious, My husband. I mean, he's not actually super funny, but we laugh a lot with him because he does funny things. Is that bad to say? But I mean we have a lot of fun and I just want to embrace those moments. And I want to travel. I mean, especially after this past, you know, however long it's been since COVID started, Like it made me realize all the incredible places I want to go and take my family. And how like I never until I was eighteen, I never had a stamp on my passport. Like so the fact that all my kids have passports and I am financially in a place where I can travel wherever I want and do things on a whim I'm really grateful for and I'm not taking it for granted. It only makes me want to work harder. I love that. If you could tell your younger self any anything, any piece of advice, any um, quote, whatever have you? Um, what would you say beating myself up after the fact, it's never needed, Like I am an overthinker to the end, and it's something I'm still working on. I still tell myself, but like doing that isn't beneficial and never changes anything. Like I'm that person that like I could have the best time and I could be like partying, having fun, like laughing, and then I will in the morning, I'll have that titch of anxiety and I'll be like what I do? Who's mad at me? I'm looking? I'm looking for something and no one ever is. So that's that's the saying goes for now. And then last question before we go to break, um, your kids are they all like, wow, Mom's turning forty, that's old. What do they think? Like? What do they say about your forty birthday? I mean they are pretty funny. Like I was like, tomorrow, guys, do you want because they're doing half day camps um like sailing camps and different stuff like that while we're out here, and I said, tomorrow, do you want to do a stailing camp or do you want to just like let's I'll chill, I'll take off for blah blah blah and slat and crews are like camp. Definitely camp. I saw that you ordered a pizza that day blah blah blah, and then I hear Bella got its damn and then you here, crewis go mon, what's your birthday? To even even tell us, I'm like you should know, buddy, So I'm they choose camp tomorrow, will know, we'll know where they think. But they yeah, I mean they can't. They kind of can't believe that I'm forty. But they also they've been cool about it. I mean, probably because I forgot. So let's go to a quick break and then when we come back, we'll surprise Teddy with her first caller, and then, um, we're just gonna have a show packed with some fun callers. So uh, stay tuned. Okay, so we're back from break. Before we bring in our first, um awesome caller, sur price caller, I'm going to go ahead and play a message from somebody that really really wanted to call in, but um, she's currently in Hawaii and um, long story short, she um is partying a little too hard and wasn't able to call in. So here's your here's your message. Um, this is from our lovely Tanya Right. Happy birthday, Teddy. I love you so much. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. You've honestly held my hand through so much. You've pushed me, you've encouraged me. You have been somebody that has been consistent and loving and faithful and hopeful, and just so many things. You lead by example and you help lift other women up and I'm just so grateful for your friendship and I honestly can't say enough. Um, I hope you have the best birthday ever. I'm sorry I would have called you live, but I am on vacation. I've been drunk and good portion at the time, so I want to make sure I wish you a happy birthday. I love you so so much. I hope this is your best year yet. And I love you. Ah, Tania, Oh my gosh, I just even hearing that everything you just said to me, not only did it make me emotional, but it's exactly what I would say to you. So I think that really shows the level of friendship that we have. And I think the thing that's so incredible about Utania is that you are a modern woman. You are there just so poor. You are there to be there when somebody's up, when they're down. And I love you too, and you have so much fun and have a drink for me. All right, thank you for the message, even though you made me tear up a little. Well, hopefully this next color doesn't make you tear up a little. Um, let's go ahead and bring him in. Are you there? Say? It's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard. See Happy birthday to Teddy when she turns twenty nine? Dad? Why that's my favorite song? I know? Mmm, well, I love you so much. Am I going to get my envelope that I get every year from my birthday? Yep? Guess what? So every year? My dad, who we're talking to right now, who of course made me tear because it's my favorite song. He we used to always he'd always sing it to us in the car when we'd go back and forth between his house and my mom's. But um, every year for our birthday, myself, my kids, my sister, my siblings, we all get the amount of money that we are turning. So I'm about to be rich this year with this forty dollars coming in that you know I'm actually forty, though I don't want to be getting twenty nine? Yes, I know, So so what what will you do with your forty dollars? I just you know, I don't know. There's just so many options that it's gonna be h Come on, how do you think I love? I mean, according to you, when I was your age I can go to the movies for a penny, but I can't even go to the movies. Now, Wow, you don't have to go to movies anymore because they're not open. True, well, actually they might be opening right now. Are you Where are you? Are you in Fusky? I'm onto Fusky Island? Yes? Are you feeling good? I got a bit of a sore throat that I got from Uh do do other than that? I feel? Okay? Well I was. I wish I was with you guys right now. Okay, Well, listen, honey, have a happy birthday, which is really tomorrow, right And you know where I was when you were born. Where I was in Miami making an album called American Pool and you missed it? Well, yeah, because your mom was like nine months premature. I was really premature, and I think I only weighed like four pounds. I don't think you weighed that much. And when I for the first time I saw you, you had you were an incubator and you had little glasses on and you had your feet propped up. Yeah that's what it looks like. Well, I look like a little alien when I look at those pictures. And now that you've grown up, it looks like a big land. It's true. I've stayed true to who I am. Dad, that's right, that's right, State of Meloncamp, State of Meloncamp. Because what Melancamps are what it would say, Melancamps are the coolest. No has it better than us? Nobody? That's right. Yeah. Well the last time you said that, then you fell into my pool playing pick a ball. So it really that was actually the birthday gift that keeps on giving because whenever I'm having a bad day, I just go on them. I'm so glad you weren't hurt. But it was one second after you said who has it better than us? Nobody? And then I fell in the water, and now I got a big scrape on mine. Your ship. Yeah, but we gave out. We gave you a real cute outfit to change in too. I still got it. I know you always steal Edwin's clothes. Oh yeah, because he's so cool. I know he's just he cann't teach school, right, Yeah. Yeah, I'm proud of you for calling it on this zoom. I love you. I love you too, honey. Have a happy birthday, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow. Dad's How did you guys get him to do that? That's the coolest. He's literally the cool just to come right in with a song. I can't he's so cool. I want to know. So the last time he did this podcast, the amount of messages that him and I had to have going back and forth so he could figure out to log into the zoom and that y'all just got him to show. I'm actually blown away. He's a pro. Now, who is your point of contact? Kathy? Kathy? Yes, okay, we already have our next caller in the waiting room, so let's go ahead and bring him in. You um should know him pretty well. I I I Edwood. How are you You're not gonna come in with a song? You've got a lot of big shoes to fill, because because my dad just came in singing, Oh, that's gonna be hard. Maybe I'll maybe I'll just come in with some wit. You know how witty I am. So I actually said earlier in the podcast that you're not funny, but you're funny to laugh with slash at, so it's pretty laugh at is probably more like it. Yeah, but we love it. We love doing it. Yeah, Baby, I just I love you so much, and uh, I'm so glad that that they're doing this for you. I uh, you know, I'm the worst of keeping secrets. So when you were like, uh telling me about the podcast today, I was like, I almost like mess that whole thing up. Well, I love you so much. Can you believe not only am I turning forty, but that will have been together married for ten years? Yeah? I know, ten years already and twelve years knowing each other. Just great, great blessings. It's flown. It's flown by yes, except when you listen to Sports Center really loud when I'm trying to go to sleep, or when you listen into your killing type oh my murder shows there and Danielle backed me up. Is there anything more relaxing to falling asleep to serial killers? I don't think so. Definitely not. I do not like those you have, no thank you? Nope, nope, nope. What about Hanna? Do you like them? Absolutely not? They give me the worst nightmare. You know what I needed? New producers. You guys don't even know me. Dump no, no, no, no. Nothing gets me in the mood for a restless sleep. Okay, I have I have a couple of questions for Edwin because this is the first time we've ever had him on this on the podcast, so there's reason that he has no filter. Okay, so Edwin, first question for you, Um, what's the one thing you admire most about Teddy? I've said it on the show before. I think she's stop it. The organized is not a sexy word. It's just I tell myself guys all the time. Consistency is not the sexiest word, but it gets the job done. But obviously she is organized, but she is beautiful from the inside out. I think she's gifted, as she's so smart and talented, and she's she loves unconditionally and I've loved that about her. So when you're out and about and just going about your day and you're not with Teddy, what is there like one thing that you see or here that automatically reminds you of her? Um. When I'm out and about what reminds me of Ted's? Um? You getting in any car and driving always reminds me of Teddy. I'm like, Teddy can't drive the life I cannot. You could tell them about a renee story whatever. When when we forget about Teddy sometimes has this what she's gotten better, but she always tell me stories that she's told me before. So I used to date someone that would always do the same thing. So we have kind of a nickname for that. When Teddy does it, we we have a low term for it. It's fine, it's called we call it the Renee. But he does it too. We both do it. Like we'll drive by something and we'll be like, oh, you know that was that place where I went, you know, blah blah blah. And he'll be like, I know Renee, or telling me something about work, and I'll be like, Renee, you told me earlier, Like so that is our It's by Felicia, but hello Renee. Who reminds me of Teddy those our daughters slate. She's literally ny we do anging out with Teddy. Let me doing slate. It's uh same everything. She likes the boss Daddy around too. We like, we know what we want. Good thing though, you know, sometimes you want to get Boston around, especially when when you're doing the Boston around in the office. It's nice to just get home and you don't have to worry about anything because she's got everything taken care of. So I literally once I come home it's just like Jeddy, She's in charge. Okay, this is the last question that I'm going to grow you with because I know you have worked today. Um good. This is actually a listener question too. So when did you know that you wanted to marry Teddy? Was there like one moment that you're like, Yep, that's my that's my girl. That that was a good, soft off question. Yes, harder, Um yeah, I knew the minute we were We actually have a picture of this, but we were hanging out in our backyard and and I think it was my daughter's first and it was her birthday, her first year birthday, or maybe it was someone close eight months and to cheat when she took her in her arms, I mean, you could just see the love that she had for and the mother like qualities that she she had even though she was a mother yet. I mean, you just you saw it like she is going to be a great mother. And she has been a great mother to mike daughter from the get go, And that's when I knew that, Okay, this is specially this is someone that I that I want to spend the rest of my life with. You know, the crying, I don't you know when I met Bella was when I was like, Okay, this is the real deal for us, Like, I can't imagine my life without both of you in it. I love you guys so much. Yep, I remember that moment. I remember that moment for sure. I remember, and you know, I don't know if she told you this story, but her friends always get mad at her because whenever they come over, Teddy's very she takes care of me all the time. So like I don't serve myself, she served. He's kind of, you know, just really takes care of me. And then all her friends that her husband's friends are like, why would you take Well, we we took the Love Languages quiz, and for a while I wasn't like that and his his acts of service, which is actually not something I really even because that's not mine, mine, our words of affirmation. So once I learned that, I was like, I'm going to step up my game because something as simple as like I know he normally has his coffee at this time, or like you know, he's he's never going to be the first in line to like at the buffet or whatever it may be, makes him so happy. I'm like, okay, two minutes of my time makes you so happy. We're like, that's why I highly recommend do the Love Languages quiz, because I thought mine was quality time in my own brain, I thought, like, what I like, what I need the most in a relationship is quality time. But appair, I need words of affirmation, So Edwin feel free to just let those pour out. And then another one not saying I'm warming up now. Another thing that comes to mind is before we we got married, Teddy used to cook me up these meals, like, oh, you cannot imagine what a good tut she was. So we get married, and uh, the cooking kind of stopped for me. Well, I have a secret to tell you, honey. I never actually cooked for you. I would order and then played it. I do remember the tuna when you left me once you got married, she said, hey, what's up for tonight? She left me a can of tuna with the opener thing. She's like, you got tuna, But I do used to make the effort to play ordered food. But then you know, now she knows how to come. She's a good kid. I love you, baby. Yeah, Well, can you hurry home because your anniversary present is arriving today. Anniversary that's coming up ones uh huh, yeah, can you. I'm trying to tell her that you can do two for one presence, right, No, if it's big enough. So hopefully it's big enough. No for a fortieth birthday and a ten your wedding anniversary on No. Plus the house that we originally rented for the trip it burned down, so now it's still a big house. But okay, I can't wait for the fourth my love. I can't want to spend the birthday with you tomorrow, all right, se I really love you guys together. I think you guys are the cueist. I there's an energy between the two of you guys that's so awesome. Well, we're always like jocking each other a little bit, you know, like we're all but that is like, I mean, in lack of a better word, that's like what gets us off. Like we like that like momentum, so when you're on house when you were on Housewives, and even just now when whenever you do press and things like that, Like is he is he like behind the scenes? Is he like staying there or like does he enjoy walking a red carpet? He likes walking a red carpet, but interview questions and stuff he doesn't like he's different than me. And the fact that, like he does a lot of motivational speaking for you know, companies hire him to come in and do it. But he preps like he is a prep type guy, like he'll have it written out, he will memorize it, like he is on a point. I can't do it that way, and yeah, like I'll prep in the fact that, like I'll look over my questions, but I never write them down. I never because then I get too in my own head. So we're just naturally different, like I have to answer from the hip or else it doesn't feel natural to me. He likes to, like, no, that's why I like theirs that one question you got to He's like, you know, because he's like, I don't I think she'd ask something like I did not have an answer for this, He's like, and then he starts grasping at straws, like so that's that's really where we're different. But it's fun because we can kind of help each other in the ways that we need to. But no, um, the first season on Housewives, he came out like we had some kind of dinner and he said something and I remember being like, I honestly will remove your testicles. I cannot believe you just but you have to like kind of pretend that you're fine with it. Like I was like, and I was like dreading the day that I was going to have to watch back that dinner where like I had laughed at something I never would have normally, like like it was my season one. I like I was just in my head about what he said, overthought it, and then I was like, you know, trying to think, like what am I going to do when this comes out? Blah blah blah, And then they never showed it, so I was like, either stress for nothing, Yeah, all that stressed for nothing. But ever since then he was like listen, like he was like trying to be something he wasn't, which is why he like he was trying to be like a bigger personality, and he has a great personality on his own. So I'm like, I don't know why you did that, Like, but that we had one of those, uh we had car camps and we didn't even realize they were car camps. So we're like arguing on the way home too, because I was like, why would you have said that, you know, like it was both and I was like, then none of it was used. I got that, you know, not good at it? Season one good at it. Yeah, I think like if and I'm just curious like now that you guys don't have the cameras every day, Um, it's like that's something that you would you know, entertained doing again because I feel like I just even when I've heard from from you and through other you know, people that have done reality television, like it really does like put a like a weird strain on a relationship, you know, like you have to be out all the time or um, even like when you are home there's a camera on you, like you know, like for a solid six months, you're not really just Teddy and Edwyn at home, like you know, lounging on the couch and you know, doing things or whatever. Like that's hard. I mean, I think I would definitely consider it in the fact of if we could really show our full life. I think I ultimately struggled and what so many people relate to me about, Like why you know my Instagram following has grown so much even post housewives, is because people like seeing the relationship between me and the kids and Edwin and our life, our actual life, not fighting with other women. So I think with eliminating the type of stress and really having the focus be like the fun our family has the different dynamics because every single one of our kids has a completely different personality. I am super Type A and organized and actually you know, diagnosed O C D. Edwin's totally like who who you know, Like there's just you know, he never he'll be like, oh yeah, what when we're leaving, When I'm like in seven minutes and you haven't packed for the airport, you know, like we are just pulling. So I wish if we could show that true, you know, that the love and the messiness of our life, I would totally be down. Yeah, no, totally even that. Like one episode, I remember when um you had to all in retreat and it was literally all about Derret's outfit and like a photo shoot. I'm like, there was so much other cool things happening that they just didn't come from I mean and get it, but still, and there was a whole part in there where you know, I was bummed that wasn't in where I pretty much said tore the reason that I am the way that I am. Like I I had a really hard time and I've worked on it, and um, I had a really hard time asking people to show up for me all growing up, and so because of that, I really became super independent and super afraid that if I did ask people to show up for me, something bad would happen. So my entire life growing up and traveling, riding horses and doing all that, like, I didn't even ask my parents to come, like I was like, now, I'd rather just do this on my own, you know, Like I think because of the divorce and all the things that went down with us, like I just I never did and then it kind of carried over into my adult life. And that's why, you know, I'm trying to be better about it. But that's why I always give an invite with an out, you know, because I am a have a people pleasing personality, not in the standard way like where I'm gonna say yes to any dinner place, but in the way that like, if somebody's doing something that I've invited them to do, I want them to be happy. And I can't have a hard time being happy if they're not. Even though you can't control others. So I shared this whole thing, broke down in tears, like but no, it was about the outfit and that's super understandable. That's super understandable too, Like just like I feel like I can relate to you on that too, like having people show up for you but you're but you want to say it's okay if you don't want to come, like no pressure. And I think especially when it comes to like being vulnerable, you know, I I was, you know, part of the retreat was requiring all of these you know, clients and people that signed up to be vulnerable. And I knew that if certain you know, housewives came in and they weren't able to do so, it was going to change the dynamic of the event. So I was like, listen, if you're you know, coming in and you're going to change the dynamic because you don't like working out or you don't want to be here, I really I don't. I'd rather you not be you know what I mean? Because my biggest priority was to them. And actually when we did our final thing at the retreat that said, like what was the highs and the lows? And of the people's lows were that none of Teddy's friends shared at the dinner, And there was a dinner where we all stood up and shared these really heartfelt moment like where we just like poured our heart out, and like, you know, there's forty women they're doing the same and then you know my Housewives table they didn't, and so like it changes the dynamics. So I, you know, I think in hindsight, I could have done it differently, maybe, you know, But I'm trying not to beat myself up after the fact about things. But that's that's really what it's about. It's always been about wanting to make sure that people are doing things that they enjoy. Well, you know, keeping over with the Kardashians is finishing their twentieth season, so maybe it's um, what's an m thing with the Melancamp I guess it's ariavi is right. Yeah, we're Melancamp Barriaves the kids and yeah, because and people always like, why do you keep the name Melancamp? Did you just hear my dad? There's absolutely no way he would have let us drop that name, and why would you? I'm married too, and I keep my maiden name because it's dope, you know, Like I like I like my name. I just added my married name after Yeah, that's the same as me. I'm like, well, plus he's got you know, like he's prideful about it. He's like where the melancop No, the your kids medan name is Melancamp. That's us. And it's because like, you know, you know where we grew up, all of our you know family.
