Plus, Teddi ran into one of Cynthia's RHOA castmates and it didn’t go over too well… 

Two Teas in a pod which Teddy Mellencamp and camera judge.

Here we are with another episode of two Teas and a pup nod and see what's going on, Cynthia.

Just hanging out in Kelly, just enjoying my daughter Noel and just living life.

Well that's nice for you, because yesterday I went tod this TV show with the it's called the two Minute Drill, and it's it's a really cool idea. But you go and they have like entrepreneurs on the panel as judges or you know, business people in some capacity, and then these kids come on and they give you two minutes of a pitch and then at the end of the pitch, somebody gets fifty thousand dollars. So my friend is one of the hosts, and I'm like, oh, yeah, of course I'll go do it. As I'm walking in I guess he films three shows a day.

I was in the second set of shows.

Guess Who's there?

Saw Anya from Real Housewives in Atlanta.

After I can't even tell you the amount of things that I've said about her on the pond, I was like, this was way worse than the gena of it all.

With you and we both looked.

At each other and she's like, Hey, that is hilarious.

I'm actually seeing lu Ayne later. She texted me earlier today she's in town. I guess, so we're gonna hang out later on tonight before I hit back to Lante.

Oh my gosh, but I was laughing so hard.

And then the Dave Meltzer, who's the guy that does the show, had to make it worse because he doesn't realize there's any like awkward.

I mean, she was.

We were both really nice to one another, but it was just kind of funny, like when you're and he goes, I always say, you too, are just too nice to ever be on the Housewives. I was like, and she kind of looked, and I go, I'm not that nice on the podcast.

Oh teddy teddy, teddy teddy. Ah, but what are you going to do, my friend?

I mean, why can't people give you a little heads up, like you're you know you're gonna be having a time.

I go, I am someone you need to let.

Know if there's going to be a housewife there, solely because I need to know and prepare myself.

And what I've said.

I know, I know, I know you know what, but I think, like, I mean, most of the ladies don't take themselves that seriously unless you're just like going like in or whatever.

I mean, they're on a show.

Like when I was on the show, I expected, you know, podcast people like yourself and bloggers to talk about me.

It's just, you know, it's just part of Heather Debroh took it that seriously for the record last year on the way to Bravo Con. She like cornered me on the plane and like gave me a talking to.

Oh, Lauren, Okay, well, I gotta be mindful what I say on this podcast because from me, I'm like, listen, this is not my podcast.

I am co hosting. I am feeling it.

Look at you dodging already. We haven't even officially started. You already dodged. I'm gonna call you Cynthia the Dodger.

I'm getting good. I'm getting good.

But wait, wait, wait, I have to shout out my I think eight almost ten people followed me from the podcast, and this is what I love. Like ten people followed me, and then two of them told me that they also followed me from their dog's accounts.

So like, I was like, you guys are really trying to help me get there.

No from the what if I.

Had a dog account, I would follow you from there as well.

I am grateful like all pets, people, animals, we do not discriminate.

You are good with any It doesn't even have to be a huge and human form.

You're getting there. Keep coming, keep coming up, guy, serious thought.

Oh my gosh, all right, we have to keep it going every week where you let us know how many.

More because let the countdown begin, baby steps, we're gonna get to that four million.

We are getting there. So Real Housewives, Orange County. I thought it was a pretty good episode. I'm like getting into the flow.

Yeah. I enjoyed it as well.

And I was a little stressed at some you know points in the episode, which I will tell you when we get to those to those parts. But some things made me a little uncomfortable and we'll talk about that.

Yeah, I agree. Okay, So the show starts out and it's Shannon and John cook dinner at his house. John tells Shannon her mind is always spinning and he just wants to have fun. Do you agree that with John that Shannon just needs to turn her mind off sometimes?

And just have fun. I love watching Shannon have fun. Like there's nothing nothing makes me happier than Shannon having a tequila shot and having a good time. I just feel like I don't really know her really, to be honest, I feel like I maybe met her.

One time, but it feels like from the outside looking in, she can take herself like she could just be super serious and I just like, just have fun. It seems like you've been through a lot of stuff, like live life. So I agree with him.

And I think she should just you know, just live life.

Yeah. I mean, even her fridge is like relax. John's fridge is like please back, you're breaking me down. I mean, I've flung out with Shannon and she is a lot of fun. And I can't tell if when she's on the show she's just because you know, you when you're filming, you can't really have your phone easily accessible. There's like you have kids, there's things that you can't always have the answer to right now.

So maybe she's, you know, a touch like me and on the.

Controlling side of things and it just stresses her out. But I do think in the same tone where like Heather gave that advice to Gina, at some point, if you can't just go and have fun, your significant other does get sick of it.

Yeah, it does. It does.

And I think, like I'm like kind of a highly stressed person, you know, just in general, and when I would film on the show, it would be stressful for me for the most part, Like you know, sometimes it'd be like no stress, but I would go in there with a fair amount of stress, usually with scenes. And I think, you know, it just kind of comes off like that with her, And I'm sure she's like, you know, the life of the party, like you know, in real life. I don't know, but on the show, it definitely seems like he's a little like, you.

Know, she's on the muscle, like like maybe she's having to like cover certain things that maybe she doesn't necessarily want to have to talk about, like moving in together. To me, that seems like it might be a stressor because they don't seem like they're in that place and now knowing what we know now, clearly they weren't.

Yeah, see, that would be no stress for me. If I'm into someone, I am moving queen, they can move in. I'll move in, Like I actually prefer to move in with someone that I'm serious, you know, about our living or to see if we can live together if we especially if I want to, you know, consider taking it to the next level. I don't want to move in after we get married and then find out you know, everything that you know maybe like eh.

Okay, yeah, I'm a proponent of moving in together first. Is there a pressure for her to show right now that her relationship's good?

Why would that be because of the whole thing that happened with the ex? Well, no, because they're broken we know now they're broken up.

Yeah, yeah, So what would the pressure because you know, I don't know a lot of extor because.

Because if I don't think you just randomly break up, Like for example, I knew for a long time with my ex husband we were probably gonna break like I could feel it for a while. I'm sure in your divorce it wasn't just one day. It's not good for divorcing today, like there's a bill. So if you are like this season, I'm wondering if they're trying to figure it out and that's where that extra nervous energy is coming from, or.

That or maybe she's just you know, moving with caution. You know what I mean. I think she seems like very like, well, let me just be sure, let me maybe take things slow.

I don't know, but you think it's on her terms not his.

Again, from what I know, I just really started watching it. I can't really say, like, you know more backstory than I do. It just feels like she's a cautious person like rebuilding her friendship with Tamra. She's moving with caution. She's excited, but she's like, Okay, let me just see. She just seems like that type of personality, because.

We do see in the preview for next week, something has said that causes Shannon to say, if this airs, it will be the end of my relationship. So I do wonder what airs, like, what is it that she wants not to be?

But I guess we'll stay tuned for that.

Then we get to the next scene, which made me so excited I even had to text Emily, we missed you. It's so good to have you back. Tamra. Emily and Heather are getting their nails done. Emily tells Heather that she can be hurtful sometimes and comes across better than people. Emily thinks Heather is just not self aware of how she talks to people. Do you think the way Emily is telling Heather is too harsh or it's the way Heather needs to hear it.

I love that Emily's a straight shooter. I don't think it's too harsh. I think she's you know, coming from I think her intentions, intentions are good, to be honest. I think she's like, hey, you know this is because she's not the only person that thinks this. A lot of the women in the group have pretty much said the same thing. I just think Emily's the balls you are winning the group to just say, hey, this is what's happening. Your stuff is not hitting right, it's not landing right, like it's making people feel some kind of way, and I think, you.

Know, well, go ahead. And that's the next question because I think.

Well, though I was also thinking she's Emily's probably to the point, you know, when you don't go on a trip and then you get them fifty two calls from all the women and they tell you everything and you're like, oh my god, Okay, So she's probably just over it, like she's like, listen, everybody else is beating around the freaking bush. So I'm just gonna give it to you here. I mean, but I also love Emily missed the trip, but there was not a chance she was going to miss that free champagne getting her panic here.

Pat here, that's my girl, that is my fight. I feel you right, But.

I will say I will say I don't feel like I choose to think that Heather is not intentionally being this way, which is why I want to lean on the side of her being just not really aware that, you know, some of the things may make people feel some kind of wed don't things you come on a show like this or just even in real life, she would be like that. But like, if you're ever going to like censor yourself a little bit, it's when you know everybody's gonna watch, you know what I'm saying, So I and you know, especially we live in such a sensitive world and everything can be picked apart, and everything can become a thing. I think she just doesn't realize it until she watches it back or someone just says, hey, you know what, you're kind of coming off like a B and C. I just refuse to believe that she just chooses to come on and and say these things and made people feel, you know, a certain kinds.

Yeah, but I mean Heather acting like she you know, she's like I had so much to do with my kids and blah blah blah, and she did. But it also was clear when we were watching she hired people to do the actual.

Packing, like she had to delegate. Yeah, I mean she had to delegate.

But I'm going to pretend that I don't like nice things or that I also can't like scale back. But like, for an example, once I was in introduced to the world of traveling first class or business, it is very hard for me now to be like I I'm going and coach I'm going in Southwest, like because I have tasted the better life and that's where then I have to decide is the money that I make. We'reth that investment of my comfort level and having that glass of champagne and actually being able to eat something other than this. They don't even serve nuts anymore because everyone's freaking allergic. But whatever it is, like a biscus could be like, I understand that, but I also am aware of that situation.

Like I will warn people, like if we're going.

On a girls trip like with my friends, or if we're going on trips with families. I'm like, listen, I'm gonna be bougie on this one. Like I am going to fly business with my family. Does not mean you and your family have to. But this is where I am picky. Granted, like other stuff, I'm like, I get me dirty, I'm good, but like it's just I'm a nervous flyer anyway, So just but I think i'm at least Yes, you can be a little bit of an asshole or have your preferred preferences, but you should be aware of them.

Exactly. I agree. I agree, And when it comes to travel, we're on the same page. Like I will eat raw Ma noodles.

For years and make sure when it's time to go on a vacation, I'm standing in a nice hotel. I'm flying first private if I can work that out, Like I know how to move my money around and make it fit. How you know where it matters to me personally, because I just you know, we work hard. I want to enjoy the things that I enjoy, and traveling well is one of them.

But I also wonder if it's because she has had it for so long, like she's been doing like for me, this is a newer thing. Like when I first met Edwin, we didn't fly first class or business like. We both were just figuring out our careers and blah blah blah. And then I remember the first time we did we both like kind of looked at each other and we're like, oh, yeah, we've opened a new cat worms here, we've created a monster, and now we've created monsters and our kids. But I'm just wondering if she's so many years and that maybe that's why she can't.

No, I don't know who knows. I'm just going down the rabbit And yeah, I mean it does.

Like you know, I think it's easy to get comfortable with you know, your wealth and success and all that stuff, and you know you don't really I mean, once it's hard to go back remember the old days where you're like, oh, okay, you know you would you know, you just wouldn't move a little differently because you had to. When I first started traveling, my sister used to work for Continental, which is I think now United, and I was on her buddy pass, honey. So if anybody knows how to work, like forget that happened to get on the damn plane. Half the time, I was the person like they're like, Okay, it's five seats, so but I was like watching them on until.

Like a hawk the whole time.

I gotta get on, and like, you know, I always had a crappy seat, but I was like, I'm on the plane and at the end of the day, we're gonna we're gonna still get there. So I have evolved a lot and I appreciate, you know, all of it.

So and I think that's what it's about, just you know, being grateful and you know.

Being grateful. But then they didn't really do any favors when they She's walking in and she's holding her back and then she's like, I shoveled shit. And I also threw an axe, and I'm like, oh god, Heather, you're walking right into it. And listen, I'm old. My back would probably hurt if I threw an axe too. I'm sore right now for orange theory this morning, and I think I have ten pounders. But like I, I don't know, there's a difference between work.

She said, somebody said something that made me laugh about loud. So someone said they've been shoveling shit their whole life.

Is. I mean when I tell you, I was like, that is so me.

It's like, what, like, Okay, I get to go on this fabulous trip and like the one bad thing I have to do is shovel some shit.

But I get to like I have all this other.

Amazing things happened on a trip, like Okay, where's the shovel?

Like yeah, well, also, I mean clearly I paid a shovel shit.

We're about to slate is here with her headphones.

On, but the second we're done, we're going to the horse show to go shovel some shit and take care of our words.

I pay a lot of money to shovel shit. Yeah, Okay.

Then we get to Gina goes to Gen's yoga studio and they talk about Montana. Gina says that Jen's story made her process and things she wasn't aware of. They agree that Montana was a good thing for their friendship. Did this conversation make you feel any different about Gina? Yes?

Lord, it was like the best thing ever. I really enjoy this conversation. I love that they got together. I'm excited to see where this friendship is going to go. And it definitely made me, you know, I've always liked Gina. I just want to know more about her, and I just felt like she was kind of making Jen's thing her thing a little bit, and yeah, like, okay, you can be you can you know, feel how you want to feel, but it shouldn't be that upsetting to you because it's not You're not it's not really your thing. But anyway, I love that they talked, and you know, I God, I just feel bad for Jen and I just want her to have somebody to have her back on that show and just have someone she could just really be, like, just really say whatever needs to be said to and hopefully maybe Gina may be that person, because I think that Jen has to open up a little bit more about the situation because it doesn't seem like it's going away anytime soon.

So I think, yeah, I agree with you.

I wish Jen would just say, listen, you guys, I was a marriage for whatever it was. Let's say it was fourteen eighteen. It was a lot about it was a lot of years, eighteen years, and at the end of the day, I wasn't fulfilled, I wasn't happy, and all of a sudden, this new guy came in. He made me feel special, made me feel alive, and listen, it's not perfect. He may cheat on me, it may have already happened, but at this point in time, I am enjoying.

My life, right. I don't really care what you guys have to say here.

If I come to you crying because of something he did, you're welcome to say.

But until then, leave me alone. Like I almost wish she would just get them all together, literally, do a PowerPoint presentation, be like, okay, y'all, woman, break it out the way to him. This is what happened, this is where I'm at, and I wanted some good d and get off my ass about it.

If this man cheats on me, that is my crusty beer. For now, I'm gonna enjoy this dick.

Leave me alone, Okay like that?

That's all I want her to say is yeah, I know the rumors they could or could not be true. At this point in time, we are happy and that's what I'm going with. So go kick rocks and worry about your own relationships exactly.

And unless someone in the group has actually slept with my man, not him, say allegedly that he wanted to. And if somebody can't produce like a solid reason for me to like, leave this man, leave me alone, let me, let me crash and burn. I don't care, just let it go. And I think if she did that and just stood on it, they would have to move on to somebody else.

Yeah, I mean you have to imagine when I first met Edwin, he had a two month old baby. He and like everybody I know, was like, what are you doing? Like this is going to be And the more people told me what are you doing, the more I lean right in and I was like, I'm going for it. And I still remember the first time I had Edwin in the car with my dad. We went to go visit them for Thanksgiving or something like this. At this point we've been together like eight months or whatever, and my dad goes, I've done some research on your history and I just want you to know you hurt her, you're dead, And like that, I am almost more okay with If somebody wants to say to Ryan, Ryan, your reputation is shit.

We don't want you hurting our friend Jen, right, do it right there? Jen gonna do about it.

Clearly, she is in a situation where she's in love with this guy or enjoying this guy, And I'm sorry. I think probably one hundred percent of us have been in that situation before.

Yeah, definitely at one point in time or another.

Maybe they're not cheaters, Maybe they're money launders, maybe they're this, maybe they're you know, who knows? I good amount of ass how assholes out there?

Yeah, I mean I'm single. I'm looking for that situation to some degree.

I want some Okay, we should all be so lucky to be walking around on cloud nine because giving a test so good.

Ride it out, girl, More power to you.

You had a what an You had a good run. She seems like you enjoyed every second, every minute of it. I'm looking for, like, like, that sounds like a pretty good thing.

You're like, I'm looking forward just for six good minutes. Okay. Then we get into Shannon thrift shopping with her daughters.

But the part that kills me on this is she's worried about off gassing the clothes before wearing them. But meanwhile, all I could think about is Shannon doing like twenty eight tequila shot. It's so good what people are particular about I just love it.

Yeah, that was crazy crazy.

Also, like I don't know how as when you're shopping with Noel. But yesterday after work, we're like where we're staying right now that we're like right on the little board walk where.

There's all these little shops.

And I tried to get Slate to try on something that I thought was really cute, and she looked at me like she wanted me dead, Like I'm like, this is so granted, I look ridiculous right now because I'm in my riding clothes and like my my formal visor. But I was like, this is so cute, this little two piece, and she honestly was like this, yeah.

And so you have to find something that you actually like and say it's awful.

And then I don't think it's kind of cute.

Actually I think I get it, Like I think the fact I think they don't like anything that we like, you know what I mean, because then it's uncool.

But yet they'll borrow all my stuff. They wear my sized shoes, and all of a sudden, I'm like, are those my sneakers? Oh yeah, I'm like, oh, I thought I have terrible tastes. But that was pretty expensive thirty two sixty eight. I was like, for Pete's sakes, that's expensive for off gas clothes.

All right, then we keep it moving. Why are they on another duffy? I'm confused? This is the second duffy, right, Wasn't.

The other boat a duffy as well?

Was this one seemed a little tighter for some reason? Because they kept loading on I kept getting a little concern. I was like, no, hell, big is this duffy? Because it just feels like a lot of people sitting on here now and I look everyone I had on like really cool platform shoes, which I'm like, I don't know if that was the bright shoe choice to begin off and deafy, but anyway, I was like noticing all.

I was slightly confused by some of the outfit choices as well, Like I thought Taylor really had it right, Like she's got a loose, flowy dress. She's brought like a little jacket kaled, but like some of them are like formal wear.

I'm like, what is happening?

This is what theme is always good because just kind of keep everybody on threat because they were a little all over the place nearly.

Some casual. Then like Shannon comes down with her like quarter length.

Like red like cocktail dress. Yeah, then we've got and everybody was all over the board. I can't remember what Heather had on, but yeah, it was it was.

It was interesting. I did like that it was pink pink.

And then I was confused, why is the acting coach that taught them how to breathe out of their who has to prepare for acting there?

You know that. I was wondering where that going to go? But I think she did.

She was just invited because I thought that was Usually someone comes to a scene and they're not an actual housewife or a friend of the show, there's a damn good reason why production has been there, and as it played out, it just seemed like she was just an invited guest.

I can't But.

Also, if we would have met her first because she was friends with Taylor, that would have made sense. But we met her first because Taylor was paying her.

To teach her acting lessons, right right?

Right?

Yeah? So then how did I don't know? I was I was a little lost there.

I mean, granted, she looked really cute, but I think they only showed her to say two words.

Yeah.

For me, it was like normally it's you know, they produce these shows intentionally. It's usually a reason if if in our group, if some person shows up, somebody got something, you better believe she's being's husband had to drop a bomb on her hands.

Is this Ryan's girlfriend?

Are you on Ryan's snapchat?

I'm trying to tell you, Like I kept waiting on some bombs drop. I was like, oooh, okay, so this is bigger than the whole acting coach thing, Like she's here to like drop some some other situation on us, and it just didn't happen.

So seemed like a nice enough lady. So you know, I don't know. Yeah, well we'll have to see.

But do you think that it's been refreshing to see like the drama wrapped up on both ends, Like now they're at this point in time.

You think everybody's pretty good. We're good. We're good on the movie now. I think it got enough.

Episodes at this point, even made it to a trip, you know what I mean.

So I think we're good.

The only thing I'm not super clear on just for clarity, Teddy, So now that it's done, so Heather's no not gonna be in a movie right because I was well key wanting to see her acting skills at this point with all the talk about her IMDb and all that stuff. So I was like, you know what, I kind of want her to actually do the movie in the end, but it seems like that's just not gonna happen.

Well, let's let's book another show then, and let's see some action and Taylor, if they're still casting, me and Cynthia are both still available. I mean, Cynthia is going right up the chain right now because she has eight more followers than last week, so it's.

Gonna be hard to get us, but I'm going up listen.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm glad to kind of see this wrap up. And it wasn't that big of a deal. So I'm glad they didn't like make it like some horrible thing at the end, like you know, she's not you know, she didn't want to do it, and they talked it out and they drug it out long enough.

We're good here.

Oh. Also, just so you guys know, I was getting dms about why I still post or do things on Instagram and why I haven't said anything about the writer's strength.

I am personally not an actor.

I am on I was I was on a reality television show but we are not SAG. So anybody on a reality show is not SAG. Just to give you background, and any reality shows yeah also aren't. Like, yes, there's we are supportive of the strike for SAG and for the Writers Guild, but neither of If you're on reality television, there's no SAG and there's no writers guilt.

So that's why unfortunately, you know.

Yeah, so there are no unions for the low lives like us, like trust and believe, Like after years of being on Housewives, I would love for them.

VINSTAG after so I gets some residuals because now it's.

Just like all of the bloods, wit and tears, those things can rerun for the rest of my life and I don't see another dime. So I will that that was not the case. But totally supportive of the strike in every single way. And uh, you know, just praying this thing wraps up sooner than later.

So yeah, and I.

Hope that we don't see AIS if everybody wanted around.

No, nobody needs to see an AI of me, that's for sure. One is enough for everyone. Okay, then they get to Nobu.

Tamra tells Jen to be honest about her past. Tamra says she worries for Gen because she left her world for Ryan. Jen says she did not leave her world for Ryan, and then Tamra says she does not think Ryan will be loyal to.

Jen for the rest of her life.

Do you think that she's being a good friend here or do you think she's being too messy?

I think Tamra started off being a good friend, and I think her intentions were good.

But now this is coming.

Off like I feel like it's starting to get a little messy because I feel like Tammer's kind of dragging it a little bit, and she just keeps, like, you know, making it a thing with Jin Like once you say like for me, it's like once you tell me what it is and you say like, okay, and this, he said this, and he said that and whatever.

Once you just say it to me to my face and I choose to still stay with this man, We're good, like let me let it. I feel like it just keeps. I feel like they're just riding her ass about it.

I'm just like, listen, it's it's almost like now. The fact that they won't let it go, or at least camera won't let it go. It's almost like, why won't you just let this go?

Here's the thing, this is what I would say. You love to play the games and set the things up. So Renna loved doing it at dinners too. At this dinner, this would have been the time where we could have gotten to know all the women better and somebody could have brought up the game let's talk about a relationship. So let's talk about the best part and the worst part, and everybody could share at that point, and then it opens up a place where somebody then would potentially feel comfortable to share. There's always you know, because this man was once a cheater. I am worried it will happen to me again, but you know, I'm going, you know, whatever it is. I do think Tamara is trying to just really have it sink into genin like this is this is bad news. But instead of Jen actually fighting back, I really would rather somebody actually say what it is than say what She kind of like threatened Tamar, like not threatened, but she was like, don't make me go there, Tamar. And then I'm like, we'll go there, because if you're gonna say it now, my head goes to the worst place. Ever, and then when I actually found out what it was, it was just that Tamor may a joke about like let me take one for the team. I was like, well, that's not even bad, right, but a napkin throw it in your face for that?

Yeah. Yeah.

I perked up when she said don't maybe go there, Tammer, because I was like, oh, here we go, and I'm like, go there, go there, go there.

What's get rid of to happen?

And I definitely feel like when she released it, it was kind of like, Okay, well, first of all, just knowing a little bit of Tama's personality, I absolutely think she would say that in two seconds because.

She just you know, says whatever and she just without any without it, Like, I.

Don't think she would, like, you know, if she was serious about it, I think she would be serious about it. But for the most part, Tama's got of a loose cannon. She says, you know, she talks stuff all the time.

So that would not be a big deal for me knowing Tamrack. You know what I'm saying that just to be like, Okay, Tamras is talking shit, you know what I mean?

Yeah, Like I like Jen, but now I need her to step it up and either hit back or just really lay it all on the table, because if not, this storyline may ever end.

Yeah, well, Jenny's definitely open her mouth and just lay it out because it's time. It's going to go away, and.

It's just making it feel like it's just making it seem like.

I don't know, it's getting walked over a little bit, which you know, I give her the benefit of the doubt because she's first season and she's probably still in shock, and she's I think even though you know, we know that her and Tamor and this other Heather and mean girl had her falling out, I think she's still trying to save her this relationship.

Yeah, it's just I think when you come in a group like whatever it is that you are, you have to be able to command some kind of respect from the leaders because they're not going to respect you if you don't do that. And I think now it's teetering toward like you know, it's just making me feel like they just don't respect her because they're not gonna come at everybody like that, you know what I mean. It's like they're on her butt, and I think she's the only person that can shut that down and just and it. I wanted to shut it down because at the end of the day, I'm not like, hey, you know whatever, I don't you know, have an opinion really about Like I don't know her life, like honestly outside of the show, but I know that, you know, in relationships and.

Marriages, things happen, and it's just nice.

And I am supportive of her owning her stuff and doing what she wants to do with her grown life. Okay, yeah, and being done with it. Now we're going to talk about the napkin now, because that was That was okay.

So what would you have done if somebody through a napkin in your face?

Well, first of all, if someone threw anything at dinner, anything, water, napkin, whatever.

I would definitely respond. I'm not like, hey, I'm gonna jump across the table like a spider monkey and fight.

This person, but at the very least, a napkin's gotta go back in that person's face, if not a glass of water, Like I'm not gonna sit there and like let the napkin hit my face and just fall off and do nothing. And then this person and then you know, I was like maybe she was in shock, because.

Sometimes you're like, yeah, it just happened. But once Standra left and came back, at that point, the shot is worn off and you're like this woman threw a napkin in my face, like she violated my space. She like disrespected me for sure. Yeah, and I gotta she gotta get get back for sure.

So I don't know, she needs to like come on, come on, and even if you don't want to, like I wouldn't probably throw a napkin back. I don't think. I think I would have at that point killed somebody with words, yeah, and like I would have light.

She didn't even bring it up.

When Tamar came back, she didn't bring up the napping thing, which I was like, oh, she's gonna like say something like I don't.

Know or I would have like if I had, if like I'm trying to remember like how meek I was my first season, like how not myself I was. If anything, I would have been like this, I'm leaving. I'm not dealing with this, Like.

If you don't have throw your napping back, leave something.

Something had to happen, and it just made me uncomfortable that it didn't happen. But I will say I was a little disappointed in Tamra, who is such a firecracker and a wordsmith that she just couldn't light gin light light her up with her words, because you know, Tamra's very quick on her feet. I didn't like that Tammer through that napkin because I feel like, you know, when you do things like that, you open up the door for things to actually escalate.

And get it. Yeah, and on a ladder.

You thought napping into somebody's face, you may as well have thrown a chair because it's going to escalate.

Like how did you see all the video else from Potomac? Yes this past week?

Yes, yes, you don't want you don't want to. I just think you have to respect people's space. Now you can read them for philth, you can curse them out, you can do whatever you want to do with your words.

And again, Tamra's my girl. Tama knows how.

To like land the plane and get a point across and say what she needs to say. Although I wish jin Haud have stood up in some way, even if it was just to stand up and say, you know what this is really to lower myself to even engage in this anymore and I'm leaving. I would have gotten on the little pink boat and went back, and I would.

Have just I would have swam back if I needed to. Oh, I would have faded back anything, anything. My butt would have left.

Okay, but I might have packed up my food to go because the food looked like it was good. If I did nothing else after I watched this show, I ordered sushi.

Because then you come back. And then they're into a new conversation where Emily's telling Heather that she has a phony relationship with Tamra and thinks that Heather is afraid of Tamra. Gina chimes in and tells Heather that she did not appreciate her bringing up his son getting his real estate at the same time she is announcing it. Gina tells Heather that it felt condescending. Heather says she's going to work on it. Here's the thing. I don't think that Heather was meaning to be condescending to Gina when she brought up the real estate license thing. But I don't like when somebody doesn't just apologizes and says they're going to work on it, Like if you said to me Teddy, it was really condescending when you did blah blah blah. If I care about you, my initial response is sorry, right, and then I will say, you know whatever it may be, Like I can't even believe that I was so.

Absent minded that I would say that to you. I'm gonna figure it's not gonna.

Happen again, right, but I'm gonna work on it. Is also a little bit condescent, like, oh, okay, I'll work on it.

I don't like you will say I'll work on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's kind of like when people say, when you're like excited about something that may not be a big deal to them, it's a big deal for you, and they say, oh, I love.

That for you.

Yeah, I'm like you, you.

Love it for me, like I love it for the world, Like, yeah, I love it for you.

Oh that's so good for you.

Oh isn't that great?

That's something to you.

Oh you're getting your real estate license.

But there's a lot to unpack here. Do you think that Gene and Emily really care about how they's friendship or do you think they care about the proximity to Heather because she feels like a higher level housewife.

Okay, higher level housewife.

Do you think that she thinks I'm one of the originals, I've been here longer. And do you think that Heather actually really likes Tamra or she just knows that Tamra is the one not to piss off, is the one that is the most fun.

I don't think any of the ladies really want any real smoke with Tamra because camera Tamra goes in okay, and not only does she go into the show, and she can take it to social media too, like someone and like it's like it's like the worst, but you have like conflict with someone on the show and then they're dragging you're ass on social media too. So I wouldn't want to smoke with her if I was on. So I think a lot of ladies are like, who gonna fight with this? Not Tim, I'm just getting paid on the show. Isn't even worth it at this point. So I think I think a lot of the women are kind of afraid to do that, which is why I do like the ones who will kind of hold her accountable. You know, Shannon, the whole thing with the friendship, she kind of she may Tamra earn that friendship back. I can tell you that right now and now.

I think Tamora will respect those boundaries that you know, wherever it is with you know, she and Shannon, she will respect those boundaries because she made it a little difficult for her to get back over there in the friendly with her and Emily.

I feel like I just like Emily because I just feel like she's just real and she just calls it like it is.

And you know, I don't know.

I think Heather may not want any real smoke with Tamra, but I do feel like because she was so sad when or seemed like a little down when Shannon and tamarraa got back together, kind of being left out, I think she does like being friends with her, but I think she's a little like, you know, I don't I don't want to smoke with her.

At the same time, Yeah, I mean, I think she'd rather be friends with Tamra and Shannon and Gina and Emily if she were to peck because.

Popularity reasons on the show. Also that's true too, that's true too. But also I will say this just common sense.

If you're gonna be on a reality show, I definitely would rather attach myself with the villains than not. You want to get a villain off your ass, be friends with them, you know what I'm saying. And then you just watched them light everybody else up.

So it's like, I think that part up. Oh, I definitely. I'm like, Okay, if I'm over here with them on their team, then I'm.

Safe because they can't really come to me because I'm like, you know, they're back up, you know what I'm saying.

So, so are you? Are you saying Tamara's the villain, Cynthia, I'm.

Not saying that Tamra's a villain. Maybe villain is not the word. But Tamara knows how to go in there and stir it a pot and get stuff moving around. She knows how to come in there and insert herself and get a scene poppin' for sure. So it's not a villain. But she's gonna do what she's gotta do to, you know, keep us entertained.

So if you had to pick two wives from Orange County that you could just go party with, who would they be? Not on the television show Just Real Life?

Oh for More, Wait for More County, And they don't have to be on the show. No, like we wouldn't be filming just like if.

You have.

Definitely Tamor because she's fun.

And me too, what so whatever is happening here, like we I'm loving the even though they can both come off maybe abrasive aggressive. I would rather know I'm gonna get what it is right from the person than feeling like somebody is gonna be passive with me or not tell me or talk about me behind my back. So what I can say is, even though Tamar is coming for Jen a little bit, then all of a sudden, other people pipe in, I forgot if it was Gina our Emily.

They're like, oh, yeah, we heard that.

We knew that. So it's like I would if it's gonna come out, I'd rather the person just come.

Out and tell me Attlena, and I'd love Tambor for that.

I think now she just has to leave it alone a little bit, because I think Jen just has to like stand up and owner stuff and like just shut these girls down. But my only thing with Tamar is I just don't like disrespecting people's face. I don't like throwing things in people's face, so that I'll never like yeah, no.

That was I Now. When I saw tampdall, I was like, damn it, tam And then the way the noise made when I was like, oooh no, not her best move. But then we get over to I'm a little confused this. Heather gets a text from Terry saying that David Shannon's ex's husband is getting a divorce from his wife.

Leslie.

Shannon says that she already knew, but says she's worried that it will cut into her financial situation.

That can affect your children.

Okay, if that were you that got the text, would you have waited until cameras were down to bring it up or would you have just brought it up right then?

If I was friends with the person, like real friends with the person, I would have waited until after the cameras were damn. But if I wasn't a close with the person, I would have been like, this is my this is where I turn up and sing yeah to show oh, oh my goodness, I just got this really weird text.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I mean it's like a gift at this point where you're shooting the scene to get like some random text about something that had nothing to do with and then your friends is very game because they're going to read it.

And I also have a question, is Terry actually code for either a TMZ alert or whoever the producer is on the side. I was like, it's tearing the brow really, like sitting at home, like awful, Like I cannot imagine Edwin doing.

That, like right right, right.

Yeah, But it was good that Shannon knew already. She didn't seem like she was traumatized.

That it was rare.

No, but did you see her eyes started welling up with tears when they said yes, when they said this is the anniversary. It was some sort of anniversary with her David the day that they filed.

Oh, that's right, that's right toward the end. That did happen?

I know, so, I I mean, I wasn't surprised that those two got it deforced. I mean, I think they filed multiple times. It seemed like a tumultuous relationship.

But I don't know.

For some reason in my gut, I feel like we're going to see David Badoor again at some point on this show.

I don't know, what would you have done? Would you have told read the text at the table or.

Oh, yeah, for sure, Because here's the thing. If it was if I got a TMZ alert saying that John, like her current boyfriend, was doing something, No, I wouldn't have read that at the table, right, but her ex husband getting a divorce, Like that's I mean, it's not to be an asshole.

That's kind of goodness did work for that either he's still an asshole. And it wasn't something like super scandalous or anything like that. It was just like just news like they're getting a divorce. So you know, I've.

Had to drop worse bombs. Yeah, So that one would have been like, oh, this is easy, all right.

Yeah, someone's like, would you even care if somebody said your ex husband was getting a divorce from his wife after you?

Like what do what?

You know we're not together getting married and divorced whatever, Like yeah, if.

You do you yeah, well that's the end of the episode.

We just it blows right by Cynthia when we're having fun. I know, right, No, this this was a good one. I had to actually look.

I even wrote little notes because I was like, I gotta have my thoughts together because I was like, whoa theres a lot going on here.

I love how you put it on note cards too, a little flash cards.

Yes, totally. Oh you're so cute call me Heather Dubrow. I'm so cute for you that you did that. I do the iPad love that for me. I took my little job seriously over here.

I was like, let me collect my thoughts because again, I don't know a lot of backstory, which I never said I did when you guys have to be on here.

But I'm learning and I'm.

Enjoying, you know, getting to know these ladies on Orange County, and this is fun.
