Two teas in a pod with Teddy Meloncamps and Tambrad Edge. Hi, guys, welcome to this week's to Cheese in a pod with myself, Teddy Meloncamp and Tambra Jedge. Hey, Teddy, Hey, I'm so excited that we'll bring on Dolores Catania today. I know Jersey, I love Dolores. We love Dolores. We also love Frank. We have so many questions for her. She's been on for seven seasons. But actually right now she's texting me please send me the link. So, hey, guys, don't mind me. My makeup girl's daughter got sick, so I'm running behind all day and I did not get to look pretty for you. But I'm going to and on some glasses and I just got out of a meeting. I'm in a conference room, but you. I'm so excited to speak to the two of you that I didn't want to say no, no. We are so grateful and you look beautiful no matter what. Yes, We're just so happy to have you here. Hi, Tamna, Hi to Laura's I'm so excited. I love you. Me and my girlfriends, I love you. We talked about you all. Thank you. This season. This season has been we I mean we do we do a thing on two Cheese in a pod where we just kind of opened up the questions to anybody on Instagram. You saw that I did that yesterday. So we kind of go through and we just get through it all. But they everybody always asked, they want to start from the beginning, how did you get cast on Jersey? Um, so tamer you were on a long time ago too, when you know how it was in the beginning. Uh, they went around to all the high end hair salons in the country when you know, and and Thursday nights was girls night out and the girls were Caroline Manzo, Dina, her sister Dina, Teresa, Jacqueline. You know, we were all friends and we go out on Thursday night. We thought we were sex in the city. We were like Jim, choose and try to dress up and just come home empty handled all the time. And so when they went all around, Um, they went to this hair son, They're like, oh, do you know a group of women and you know, Thursday, you're getting your hair done to go out or whatever. We're getting ready, And that's how it started. And then they interviewed us and it was back when the Sopranos were a big deal. So people were intrigued by New Jersey and the way we spoke and the way we acted. However, we didn't know the rest of the country was nothing like that. None of us had traveled and gone to college or abroad or you know, maybe Italy to see the rest of the family for the summery him now and then, but nobody left the block. Yeah, but I think that's what makes it good. Yeah, so back then that's what it was. And uh so I decided not to do it because things got a little weird for me. I had not a great feeling back then about and my kids were little. So Danielle Stomp took my place hold on to one season. Were supposed to do it, and then you did season one and I not for me, But well, what made you change your mind? I didn't like something the producer said, and back then I had like, you know, I was like this, like very like um not worldly green out of a divorce, you know, never went away to college, never went on a vacation like and they said something I didn't say to my friends. They twisted my words a little, because back then that's how they produced. Nobody knew their tricks yet, right, nobody knew their tricks yet. And I was very offended that my friends questioned that I had said that, and I said, guess what, I'm not coming back big you know, big dick attitude, like I don't want to. Yeah. I had been big dick attitude too when I got cast it. But did you have any hesitation the second time around? You know that the second time Oh, I was ready. So a few years later and then you know, you got used to how they did it, and you got used to what it wise, and um, years later, I had a lot to um, I had a lot more to offer. I think timing is everything. So I've gone through some things in between. You know, Frank had lost a lot of money in a bad investment and I had to go back. I was working like three or four jobs, and I uh got engaged for a short time during that time, and my kids got a little older, and I got a little smarter and a little wiser and a little and I was ready to go back on and I had to go through the whole process again. I know I'm personally obsessed being a divorce woman, with your relationship with your ex husband, Frank. I mean, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. And I think I love him because my dad's name is Frank too, so I feel like I extra love him. But he is no way you guys can get back together. I just love you guys together. No, we'll such good friends. And you know that's been a long time now. So Frank and I have been divorced for like twenty three years. And I think the reason you guys can still you can be friends the way that you are because there's not that chance in your mind that we're going to get back together. Oh yeah, all emotions are out of it. Exactly, Teddy, exactly. So you know through the years, of course, I've dated, right, I've had five years at a time relationships here there. And I can tell you that if somebody is jealous or emotional, or if somebody in the relationship the next wife for the next husband is jealous or gets angry and has a problem with the person that they're they're dating for no reason, like let's say there's no it's because they still want to be with that person. That's how I feel. I'm sorry, that's how I feel because I could speak from experience. I'm happy for Frank. When I was done, I was done. Listen, Tamra, when I'm done. Um, But that's how I am. But I think you're right. I feel like there's always one one person in the relationship that has their ass all been because of what went down, and they can't make nice. And that's also another thing. There's also there's actually something else too. There's letting go of anger and resentment, letting it go. It's it's such an anchor. That's another reason. Okay, let's take out. Maybe the person doesn't want to be with that their ex for some reason, but they want to not see them happy. You know when you could take that. Neither one of us have ever had that with each other. Never it Listen, was it easy? We've had We had fist fights. I beat his girlfriend up. There was disgusting things that happened. Teddy discussed thing I've done. No one, no one. It took you a long time to get to where you are today with him, So it took me. I never Here's the thing, in spite of what happened, I didn't want to have what was left room, so I make like faked it till I made it right with me and Frank So I was as nice when, even if I didn't want to be. I had gone to a child therapist with my kids back when I didn't tell anybody I was going. You didn't have to understand. I come from a strict Italian, I rich neighborhood. Nobody was ever divorced, and we only knew from marriage and close families, and things happened in families, but you didn't talk about it, and no one got divorced. That was it. So now who am I going to call my best friend, one of my sisters, my mother. No one knows how to get So I went to a therapist, right, a child therapist, because I had one high school. If you had a fight, yet to go right. So that's the only name I knew in the business. I go Throre and it was the right person to go to because I brought my kids. Frankie was a week old, Gabby was three years old. And I'm shuffling through with a broken heart. And I said, and I'm sitting seeing while these kids sit in her office, and one was crying, punching the wall. His mother was heartsick, heart sick, and I said, I walked in around them and I sat down and said, how do I not have my kids so hurt? Because don't fight in front of them from that thing on Tamera. I shit, I didn't say we're I let it go. It ruins family. I mean, I'm firsthand no, like my ex would say horrible things about me to my kids and try to conquer and the end of the day, like I'm picking up the pieces for my children right now at their older age because of what their father put them through. It's a tail as old as time, you know, and it does take two. So I do have a lot of respect for Frank in that way. I always say, like, love your children more than you hate your ex husband. Great. Great. I have a question when it comes to the way and I know there was like Infidel, we've seen all that on the show, But when when you see it playing out for other people on the show and in real time, does it ever bring back those memories? Are that pain? Are you able to still keep moving on? How do you do that? It doesn't bring back pain is because I'm over right, you know, it's a it's a dead part of my life. But what it does do is say I like, I feel like I can help you with this. I have the experience of this. I can I've spoken to a lot of people through it and it's never an instigate. Oh hate them, Oh screw him? Or oh it? Is he sorry? Is he sorry? Or is she sorry? Um? Is he a good person? Is he a good father? Is he does? Like? Can you get past this? And it's gonna be hard, and it's going to be more work on your part, right because you're gonna have emotions. If so Long is gonna play, You're gonna look at them the wrong way one day and you're gonna want to fight with them and bring it up. But you have to understand might I always say, I remember those feelings, and you have to just move past it, don't act on it. Take a ride, go say a prayer, go light a candle in church. Whatever. Now that makes sense? And what do you think it is about Jersey that makes all the husband or ex husbands so close, Like it's the only show you really see this on. I love that, I know, you know what. I do love it. I love their camaraderie. It's Jersey for you, so like you know, it's like everybody's family. You don't have friends here, you have family. That's what I always say, and I think that's what makes the show so successful, is that you guys can't or you can't fight, but when you come back to it's almost like everybody's family. You come back together and it's like you talk it out. You didn't over with. Yeah, but Frank always comes out as the voice of reason. He does. Can you imagine this? He's really evolved, He's evolved. You know, he's a big mush teddy. Frank's feeling to get her very easily on the Monica. So you guys have had pretty much the same group on Jersey for four years. Do you think it could? I mean, Tiki Barber's wife came in this year. We heard that she was originally a housewife, but then it got switched. Do you think there's going to be even more of a shake up for next year? They just leave good where it is, You know as well as I do. We're the last to know, always, always, so all is the last to note. They talk about it, you know, they they don't. There's nobody solid, there's really it's hard to cast. In every franchise, it's so hard to cast. But with Jersey. I feel like they got it down. They don't need to mess with it, just leave it the way it is. I don't want I don't want to see Tiki Barber's wife. I want to see the Core girls there. That's what I want to see the girls. And you need it because how much can we destroy each other? At some point that the destroy is going to break and there's no coming back from it. Yeah, but it's got to be hard to cast in New Jersey because you've gotta have a tough girl. And I want to see a family member. I want to see your sister, your bro. I want to see somebody that it's connected. I like the family Camaradite. But the difference is is that when it comes to the original girls. I remember when Jen and Jackie first came on. I was not fans of them because I but then I started to give them a chance because you guys became even though y'all thought you felt a real connection between you guys, right, So so people grow on you, Tam, people grow on you. You know. I'd like to see Caroline come back on, But that was my next question, who do you think should come back on Caroline? Caroline would be great. She would be great and and like Teresa says, bring her back. How do you juggle the friendship between the two of them? Like between being friends with both of them. I treat them as I would treat my sister's fighting. I don't take a side. I'm a sounding board. I understand where they're both coming from. Um, you know, That's how I've always handled things. I seem to handle it pretty well. And if somebody is really a friend, they don't make you choose. And I don't like to be told what to do anyway, period, So I'm not I'm there's no lack of loyalty in my camp for being a friend with both p I can support the friend. I don't have to support the beef. And that's how I feel about it. From watching you, what I like is that you can tell that you're being a loyal friend, but you also have your own self confidence and what you feel and you can stand on that. And so I as as a viewer, I'm like, Okay, I see this. I can see her side, even if I don't always agree with everything that you may have said. I can go oh, I feel where her heart is coming from. Yeah, and she calls people out like even if you know, like Teresa is your friend, but if she's doing something you're gonna I wouldn't have done it, you know, like I said, that's not what I wouldn't have done it. But now you did it, and let's get past it. You are the voice of reason. Are you going to be? Uh? Are you bridesmaid? This is it's everywhere you're No? No, oh my god, no, she has you know. I mean, at my age, I do think I want to be a brideswaide standing up there, I am plower girl. That's what you want to be a brides maid? Never bride this one here? Hi, okay, all right, wow, okay, So how do you feel like Teresa's handling the Louie drama. I think that Theresa was very emotional understandably, so totally. It's just listen, Tamma. You know, you know Teddy, you guys know the people that come on for you, you feel very guilty when they get whether you like them or not, whether you love them or not. And it's harder when you love them so much, is you know, it's hard there aren't there for you, and then somebody says something about them like you want to die, like you're like, oh God, like you know what am I doing? Why did this have to happen? And that's when you start to hate your job, you know? Will you get defensive? I've had years where Cassip come after my husband and you you know my husband doesn't want to get involving two ships, right, so you know you want to get involved in that. And she doesn't want Louie to have to deal with that stuff, so she's But I don't hard defense mode though. If somebody came after Eddie, it's not because they saw something on the internet. I think it's hard when you enter a show and you already know that something's gonna surface. Yeah, will you start to show you also, yeah, you don't always know, right, So this happens to be what's going on here? Is it happens to be a very um, you know, an X that's very scorned X, very angry girl and I don't really know, you know whatever. But I don't who knew that this? I think this will started when he started dating Theresa, right, so I didn't I don't know that he knew that something would be like this craziness. Oh so this all leaked after she wasn't already coming for him before the show started airing. No not to not to my knowledge, Tenny, I honestly never thought the video of Louis was bad. I certainly didn't. I didn't. I thought, you know, I come from a background, like I like self help and retreats and things like that. I just felt like he was trying to better himself, you know. I I getted around and one of the things I'm like, oh, you know, it looked like a bunch of jerkos. But that's like just my lingo. I know, I just want to see them come to one of my parties. I would invite every one of those Gold guys, and I want them to talk to my ex boyfriends and terrib lifriend tell her how do you feel like? I was like making fun of them a little bit, but I thought they were great. I mean, video wasn't the problem, guys. It was how for me I wasn't. I was like fine with the video, but it was how he responded to brought up. Then I was like, why is he so ashamed of the video? Now it's making me wonder. Now I'm wanting to watch the full length video, Like before you I feel like, listen, he was just walking on the scene. This happens the day he's supposed to like film, and he was like it was like, Harden, you know, like we don't always say things right on camera, right like in the heat of the moment. Like I feel like he could explain it better without being so nervous and having everybody and cameras in his face, and like, this is a whole big thing going on, so no know that that came out of nowhere and he needs he can explain it. I think that's how I always felt. Well, I'm I'm rooting for them, I had said on a podcast earlier when he was doing all these affirmations and all these cards and the scroll and all that stuff. And I had said on a previous podcast, I said, he kind of gives me Brooke butts from Vicky. And I think it pissed Theresa off because she unfollowed me and she must be mad. Then she's mad, but just tell her, but I am actually rooting for them. I like them together. I didn't mean it in a bad way. Somebody probably she doesn't probably know who Broke is, and somebody probably told her like she she gets a lot of like, oh, go look at this clip or like and she's only seeing what somebody said. Yeah, well, I wasn't saying anything bad. I was just saying because he did a lot of affirmations which actually are really nice, and I think she took. I mean, I think guys can they're either going to be super vocal or they're gonna have to feel like they need to prep their stuff when they come on because if they're not comfortable in front of the camera yet or whatever behind the camp. You know, that's a good advice for someone like like just no, but he didn't know, Like this was nobody knew this stuff was Like how did you know this person was going to do this? You know what I mean, Like I don't expect it. Nobody does, especially your first time on reality TV. You're like, what the ship is going on here? Now? Speaking of that, what about Bill? Like Bill kind of feels like I'm trying to fill him out. It was really good to see him last night, like picking March seen You're up and dancing like it showed like he really had a heart. Like I'm trying to figure Yeah, so I'm trying to figure out because he's you know, they're going for him and stuff. Is he uncomfortable talking about that situation or is he just heartless? He's not heartless, as he's a lovely man. I worked with him. He was nothing but a gentleman. Where I worked with him, he was so kind to his patience. You know, most would do their surgeries and run out of there. You know, I'm a surgical assystem by trade. So yeah, so so um yeah, So when Frank had everything happened with Frank, I had to scramble and get a small technical degree because I had never gone to school, only finding out then that I'm dyslexic and I have all these learning disorders. Right, So I get this small technical degree and I go to work and I become a surgical as because I love classic surgery. I used to watch House. That was my big thing. I didn't know what to do with myself. And UM, I'm like, oh, well, I'll be a surgical as system. Well it was really harder than I thought. Anyway, I make it and I start working with Bill Laden. He happens to be moonlighting at the surgery center. How many years ago? Um, this was like seven to ten years ago when this had happened. Did you know? I know now I have to ask you to tell no one, No, it didn't. It was separate aside. Everyone loved. He is a good person. I think that it was mistake and it was poor judgment. I think it shouldn't define who he is because I know him as nothing but a gentleman, always speaking lovely about his wife and children, always treated everybody with respect, and treated everybody in the surgery center like an equal instead of like he was above them. I like to hear that too. I hope that this is healing for them instead of you know, like watching it back and then working through it. I hope that that they can let go and be able to work it out for their family, because you could see during those conversations with their with their daughter that it's it's hard and he's a trooper. He is a trooper for even entertaining this conversation on a national television show because most guys and he didn't have to do it. He didn't have to do the show period. No, he got money, he doesn't care like he's yeah and uh, speaking of love life, So what's going on with the new boyfeelies? Nice hollies? Nice plies that from Dublin, Ireland. He's only been here about twenty years, so it's very different than what I'm used to. Like, he's not a Jersey guy, yet we have a lot of similarities, like, you know, it's like a family. I miss that old school mentality. Although it's not easy, you know, it's not easy. But yeah, so it's been fun. It's been fun. I had met him as I broke up with David. I wasn't like, really looking to get involved with somebody so soon, but David and I had been kind of like off for a bit. So he's fun, you know, Paul's fun. I learned how to drink. I've never been drugged before. Like, so now I drink like gentleman Jack, what a big guy? What So we're gonna see are are you drinking at the reunion? No, no one did. No what heard reunion was crazy. I know, you can't tell us one thing about it, but I heard it was crazy. So reunion was like, um, the worst ever ever done. That's my seven and it was absolutely draining. It's gonna Yeah, it was a long time and a lot of fighting and I'm not you know, getting along with someone right now. Out of nowhere. I don't even know who that is. Um, it's not important. Do you think that all relationships within, even though there's fights, do you think that all of them can be mended? I do? Oh good, Okay, I do. Yeah. And did anyone cry because Jerseys they're not been criers in Jersey? No one cried. Oh see, that's good that you're good. Jersey is not big criers like they. There's no room to cry here. That is. I could cry just thinking about not crying. Teddy teddy. Um, that's funny. Jackie a little bit pride, I think not even No, Jackie didn't really know there was Jackie. I'm very proud of Jackie this season. You see, you never know what somebody's going through, you know. No, I've actually reached out to her and told her, like, I'm so proud of her. She needs to hear it. So that's really nice. Yeah, yeah, because I can. I can kind of see her struggles. And I mean, you know when certain Housewives brings stuff up just for attention our storyline, but you know, this is like true ship that's going on in her life, and this is a very visceral, very issue with her and and and it's something she's been battling for so long, and and now and she she's scared. But I mean, now she feels like she's accountable to people. She's the world. Accountability is the thing that honestly holds you, you know, I mean, it's it's it holds you. Accountability is the one I mean. I started via Instagram. I said, hold me account I'm changing my life today. And that's the only thing that And this was you know, way before Housewives, but this was the only thing that worked, because when you're not being held accountable, you're only accountable to yourself, and then you lie to yourself. So I mean, but on a lighter note, we do have to ask, in a perfect world, do you think that Gia and little Frank should end up together? Um? I mean of course I would love for I love like the you know, the she's called me the other day and we spoke on the phone. Actually I love her. What will they wind up together? You just I don't know what I'd be happy sure, of course. I mean I know how she was raised, I know what kind of girl she is. I know she's got those old school Italian ways, like for the prom she made sure. My mother came in and sat down and made sure my mother had water and something. I mean, it's her prom and this is what she's doing with my mother. I mean, you know this is the thing. But do you ever talk to her dad? I don't. I mean I would take Instagram like I have, like commented on this stuff or anything. Yeah, but no, no to talk on the phone. Now. It would be so nice to see him. We don't get to see him this season. I would imagine Joe. Yeah, I would love to see him on American soil again. We could go, you guys can go over there. It was COVID. Yeah, like we listen, it's Jersey. We're not flying flying private places, different trips. Whether they know where they could get away with it? Right, it sounds like a good girl's trip. How's your mom go to the Jersey shore? She's good thanks to Tama. Listen. You know we didn't grow up um in a house where like I see how you are a nice your your your Finnish and your diet and Teddy is amazing with her kids, and I see them meeting their carrots and all that stuff, and I just that your children don't understand how lucky they are to have that in their lives because in Teddy As you know, like it's so important. It's a lifestyle, right, So we we grew up on like either cookies for breakfast or nothing, and it was just a different time. And I struggle with it now. My kids do not. My daughter's a vegan, she's gained some weights bothering her terribly. Is it's I don't think that. I think it's her workload and first off, and um, you know she's a veterinarian now, so she's working like crazy hours. And my son is just so strict with his diety. He's been his whole life. So they're they're okay. I certainly am not. Like I I had McDonald's the other night after watch What Happens Live, and I drove four towns to get it. MS your favorite fast food of them all, I have, not having gone in twenty years. Tamra gets really upset when I my love for Taco bell. I can't. I'm super strict, so I don't eat fast hammer like I know. I don't. And I haven't had soda in twenty years, like I won't. I've never my kids have never had soda. That's how bad I love it. These are the diet Dr Pepper here. I have to really I had myself an intervention from it. Maybe I was filming something stressful if I was like, can I have a diet doctor Pepper? Please? Yeah? This hurts my heart, I know. Another another big question is did you ever hook up even just a little kiss, peck anything? Why is this coming up? Because Margaret is an asshole about this? Okay, I yelled at her for this. She was kidding around and she said something about and I'm just I don't talk about anybody's thing like that. And I'm like, Margaret, you and I never had that conversation. I'm looking with somebody else or you how to dream about it? I never talked about She was like, no, you said short guys this or that. I've never been a short guy. I don't really, you know, Joe Corder is like a little brother to me. So it's so disgusting that like people are like stuff. You know, you never know what people will stick on, right, So Margaret was kind of like kidding about it, and I knew right away. I was like, whoa, Margaret, that's not like, don't even care round about that? And it's probably the most mad I ever got it her. Well, yeah, because you know how how she he is literally like a little brother to me. I've known him since he's a little kid, you know, Teresa and I have been for instance, her sixteen Joe. Joe and my sister used to work at the Rascal House together flipping hampers. I mean like, oh my god, he's a little boy. He's not a little boys and man, he is to me my like a little brother. So no, So that is that a hard no? Hard no, it's I'm pretty sure she's like, that's a hard no. I think she's also made a clear don't you need not apply if you're not all wow? I mean I never thought about it, really, just never was in line from I'm not I'm not. Yeah, I'm more unto short guys, I guess, I mean not sure. But I don't know if I've ever had a tall, like a super tall boyfriend. I'm only five three, so me too, timer, But I can tell you when a man is confident and he's strong and he's smart, and he's everything he could and he stands tall. So that's how I feel about that. Yeah, I mean, or there's or there's my husband. This is the best story. So my husband's like, yeah, I asked him what I said, how taller? You always would say like whatever, it was five ten five ten. And then the first time I brought him home to meet my dad, and at that point, my dad was married to this, you know, Glamazon supermodel who was obviously taller than five ten um, and they asked him how tall he was. You've never seen somebody change their tune fast in his life. He's like five five eight and a half five never. I'm not quite sure that what happened to that. It's like when I say on my license that I'm five five sure. How do you think Teddy and I would hold up if we were filming? Oh gosh, I think you guys would hold up fine until it got super violent. Oh I can handle violence. I don't know that I can handle violence. I think I honestly think I would cry No if you're not you you know, if you're not used to it gets really he did in that moment. People that walk on have walked on and said I can handle this. They don't. I would words. I would love the chance, I would. I would love to watch it. Girls, trip. Yeah, oh would you join? Of course who would say no that? But yeah, you know Dolaura's let's go on girls trip together? There you okay, but Tam already did it. But nope, me from Jersey was on that season. No, I think they were filming. Ah. No. I grew up in a tough, tough family. Like for me, like a compliment would be like, hey, you're asked. Isn't looked up big today? Like that's the kind of family I grew up in. So so I got thick skin. So I don't people always think that I'm from New York because I just mainly don't know. I could see that, I could definitely see that. But like I said, it's like, have I ever gotten nervous in that moment? No, I have never gotten nervous. Have I gotten stressed over behind the scenes stuff that they carry over, the carry over of the emotions and and yeah, then I get like that that gets to be a lot for me. And then we have one more kind of downer question and then we'll we'll we'll end on high. But it's speculated that you were not at Teresa's engagement party because there's only pictures of Melissa and Jen would like to confirm or deny. Yeah, No, I wasn't. I wasn't invited, not for any reason. Um, but they said that they only kind of invited people that they went out together as couples. There may be another reason behind it. However, what I can tell you is it was not because of Teresa and I weren't getting along or anything. It was Louie really didn't know me as a couple because I didn't mingle with them as a boyfriend girlfriend. You know, I had not gotten to known Louis yet, and I think Louis wanted just people, and it was intimate and just people. They did, like I said, things together as couples, which I had never done because I was just getting to know my boyfriend. And just you don't want Teddy. This is how I feel about that. I just say, Therese, I'm still happy for you, and um, it's not about me, and it's not about that I had answered to that, and it's not about the people that called me and said you should have been invited, and and it's not about any of that. It's about you're happy. This guy is good to you and your kids. Is really that's all I care about me, and I mean that's what I was actually going to end with talking about what you said right there shows the kind of character that you have. Um, I have to say, you were the first non Beverly Hills housewife that reached out to me after I got the boot, and we had like a thirty minute conversation. I had never felt like more at ease and felt like like it just you. We leave so many of like the like the self torture I was giving to myself, you know, whenever you feel any form of rejection and all of that and so kind and amazing, and I just I wanted to publicly say thank you so much for doing that. I'm glad you No, I mean and I and I I just I respect you so much for that and I appreciate it. And you've been doing this a long time and it was so kind. And the fact that you texted back in two minutes, you know, yesterday when I asked you to come on the bottom like this is such a good person. I mean, really, we were was excited to hear from you. I was very excited. And I actually have to be an event for St. Joe's Hospital. There's like six people coming in. You know what, Teddy, this will be isn't as much as I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. This is the highlight of my day because I don't always get to do like this is gonna be fun. But I'm tired. You know this event I'm going. I'm still not over the reunion and then the watch What Happens Live and then I got I got a stomach flue, and I'm like, you know what wasn't wasn't was McDonald's. It was don't blame McDonald's. I don't blame McDonald Damn rock. Can you imagine you're shine? Your body would reject it. It would be instantly, I know.

Two teas in a pod with Teddy Meloncamps and Tambrad Edge. Hi, guys, welcome to this week's to Cheese in a pod with myself, Teddy Meloncamp and Tambra Jedge. Hey, Teddy, Hey, I'm so excited that we'll bring on Dolores Catania today. I know Jersey, I love Dolores. We love Dolores. We also love Frank. We have so many questions for her. She's been on for seven seasons. But actually right now she's texting me please send me the link. So, hey, guys, don't mind me. My makeup girl's daughter got sick, so I'm running behind all day and I did not get to look pretty for you. But I'm going to and on some glasses and I just got out of a meeting. I'm in a conference room, but you. I'm so excited to speak to the two of you that I didn't want to say no, no. We are so grateful and you look beautiful no matter what. Yes, We're just so happy to have you here. Hi, Tamna, Hi to Laura's I'm so excited. I love you. Me and my girlfriends, I love you. We talked about you all. Thank you. This season. This season has been we I mean we do we do a thing on two Cheese in a pod where we just kind of opened up the questions to anybody on Instagram. You saw that I did that yesterday. So we kind of go through and we just get through it all. But they everybody always asked, they want to start from the beginning, how did you get cast on Jersey? Um, so tamer you were on a long time ago too, when you know how it was in the beginning. Uh, they went around to all the high end hair salons in the country when you know, and and Thursday nights was girls night out and the girls were Caroline Manzo, Dina, her sister Dina, Teresa, Jacqueline. You know, we were all friends and we go out on Thursday night. We thought we were sex in the city. We were like Jim, choose and try to dress up and just come home empty handled all the time. And so when they went all around, Um, they went to this hair son, They're like, oh, do you know a group of women and you know, Thursday, you're getting your hair done to go out or whatever. We're getting ready, And that's how it started. And then they interviewed us and it was back when the Sopranos were a big deal. So people were intrigued by New Jersey and the way we spoke and the way we acted. However, we didn't know the rest of the country was nothing like that. None of us had traveled and gone to college or abroad or you know, maybe Italy to see the rest of the family for the summery him now and then, but nobody left the block. Yeah, but I think that's what makes it good. Yeah, so back then that's what it was. And uh so I decided not to do it because things got a little weird for me. I had not a great feeling back then about and my kids were little. So Danielle Stomp took my place hold on to one season. Were supposed to do it, and then you did season one and I not for me, But well, what made you change your mind? I didn't like something the producer said, and back then I had like, you know, I was like this, like very like um not worldly green out of a divorce, you know, never went away to college, never went on a vacation like and they said something I didn't say to my friends. They twisted my words a little, because back then that's how they produced. Nobody knew their tricks yet, right, nobody knew their tricks yet. And I was very offended that my friends questioned that I had said that, and I said, guess what, I'm not coming back big you know, big dick attitude, like I don't want to. Yeah. I had been big dick attitude too when I got cast it. But did you have any hesitation the second time around? You know that the second time Oh, I was ready. So a few years later and then you know, you got used to how they did it, and you got used to what it wise, and um, years later, I had a lot to um, I had a lot more to offer. I think timing is everything. So I've gone through some things in between. You know, Frank had lost a lot of money in a bad investment and I had to go back. I was working like three or four jobs, and I uh got engaged for a short time during that time, and my kids got a little older, and I got a little smarter and a little wiser and a little and I was ready to go back on and I had to go through the whole process again. I know I'm personally obsessed being a divorce woman, with your relationship with your ex husband, Frank. I mean, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. And I think I love him because my dad's name is Frank too, so I feel like I extra love him. But he is no way you guys can get back together. I just love you guys together. No, we'll such good friends. And you know that's been a long time now. So Frank and I have been divorced for like twenty three years. And I think the reason you guys can still you can be friends the way that you are because there's not that chance in your mind that we're going to get back together. Oh yeah, all emotions are out of it. Exactly, Teddy, exactly. So you know through the years, of course, I've dated, right, I've had five years at a time relationships here there. And I can tell you that if somebody is jealous or emotional, or if somebody in the relationship the next wife for the next husband is jealous or gets angry and has a problem with the person that they're they're dating for no reason, like let's say there's no it's because they still want to be with that person. That's how I feel. I'm sorry, that's how I feel because I could speak from experience. I'm happy for Frank. When I was done, I was done. Listen, Tamra, when I'm done. Um, But that's how I am. But I think you're right. I feel like there's always one one person in the relationship that has their ass all been because of what went down, and they can't make nice. And that's also another thing. There's also there's actually something else too. There's letting go of anger and resentment, letting it go. It's it's such an anchor. That's another reason. Okay, let's take out. Maybe the person doesn't want to be with that their ex for some reason, but they want to not see them happy. You know when you could take that. Neither one of us have ever had that with each other. Never it Listen, was it easy? We've had We had fist fights. I beat his girlfriend up. There was disgusting things that happened. Teddy discussed thing I've done. No one, no one. It took you a long time to get to where you are today with him, So it took me. I never Here's the thing, in spite of what happened, I didn't want to have what was left room, so I make like faked it till I made it right with me and Frank So I was as nice when, even if I didn't want to be. I had gone to a child therapist with my kids back when I didn't tell anybody I was going. You didn't have to understand. I come from a strict Italian, I rich neighborhood. Nobody was ever divorced, and we only knew from marriage and close families, and things happened in families, but you didn't talk about it, and no one got divorced. That was it. So now who am I going to call my best friend, one of my sisters, my mother. No one knows how to get So I went to a therapist, right, a child therapist, because I had one high school. If you had a fight, yet to go right. So that's the only name I knew in the business. I go Throre and it was the right person to go to because I brought my kids. Frankie was a week old, Gabby was three years old. And I'm shuffling through with a broken heart. And I said, and I'm sitting seeing while these kids sit in her office, and one was crying, punching the wall. His mother was heartsick, heart sick, and I said, I walked in around them and I sat down and said, how do I not have my kids so hurt? Because don't fight in front of them from that thing on Tamera. I shit, I didn't say we're I let it go. It ruins family. I mean, I'm firsthand no, like my ex would say horrible things about me to my kids and try to conquer and the end of the day, like I'm picking up the pieces for my children right now at their older age because of what their father put them through. It's a tail as old as time, you know, and it does take two. So I do have a lot of respect for Frank in that way. I always say, like, love your children more than you hate your ex husband. Great. Great. I have a question when it comes to the way and I know there was like Infidel, we've seen all that on the show, But when when you see it playing out for other people on the show and in real time, does it ever bring back those memories? Are that pain? Are you able to still keep moving on? How do you do that? It doesn't bring back pain is because I'm over right, you know, it's a it's a dead part of my life. But what it does do is say I like, I feel like I can help you with this. I have the experience of this. I can I've spoken to a lot of people through it and it's never an instigate. Oh hate them, Oh screw him? Or oh it? Is he sorry? Is he sorry? Or is she sorry? Um? Is he a good person? Is he a good father? Is he does? Like? Can you get past this? And it's gonna be hard, and it's going to be more work on your part, right because you're gonna have emotions. If so Long is gonna play, You're gonna look at them the wrong way one day and you're gonna want to fight with them and bring it up. But you have to understand might I always say, I remember those feelings, and you have to just move past it, don't act on it. Take a ride, go say a prayer, go light a candle in church. Whatever. Now that makes sense? And what do you think it is about Jersey that makes all the husband or ex husbands so close, Like it's the only show you really see this on. I love that, I know, you know what. I do love it. I love their camaraderie. It's Jersey for you, so like you know, it's like everybody's family. You don't have friends here, you have family. That's what I always say, and I think that's what makes the show so successful, is that you guys can't or you can't fight, but when you come back to it's almost like everybody's family. You come back together and it's like you talk it out. You didn't over with. Yeah, but Frank always comes out as the voice of reason. He does. Can you imagine this? He's really evolved, He's evolved. You know, he's a big mush teddy. Frank's feeling to get her very easily on the Monica. So you guys have had pretty much the same group on Jersey for four years. Do you think it could? I mean, Tiki Barber's wife came in this year. We heard that she was originally a housewife, but then it got switched. Do you think there's going to be even more of a shake up for next year? They just leave good where it is, You know as well as I do. We're the last to know, always, always, so all is the last to note. They talk about it, you know, they they don't. There's nobody solid, there's really it's hard to cast. In every franchise, it's so hard to cast. But with Jersey. I feel like they got it down. They don't need to mess with it, just leave it the way it is. I don't want I don't want to see Tiki Barber's wife. I want to see the Core girls there. That's what I want to see the girls. And you need it because how much can we destroy each other? At some point that the destroy is going to break and there's no coming back from it. Yeah, but it's got to be hard to cast in New Jersey because you've gotta have a tough girl. And I want to see a family member. I want to see your sister, your bro. I want to see somebody that it's connected. I like the family Camaradite. But the difference is is that when it comes to the original girls. I remember when Jen and Jackie first came on. I was not fans of them because I but then I started to give them a chance because you guys became even though y'all thought you felt a real connection between you guys, right, So so people grow on you, Tam, people grow on you. You know. I'd like to see Caroline come back on, But that was my next question, who do you think should come back on Caroline? Caroline would be great. She would be great and and like Teresa says, bring her back. How do you juggle the friendship between the two of them? Like between being friends with both of them. I treat them as I would treat my sister's fighting. I don't take a side. I'm a sounding board. I understand where they're both coming from. Um, you know, That's how I've always handled things. I seem to handle it pretty well. And if somebody is really a friend, they don't make you choose. And I don't like to be told what to do anyway, period, So I'm not I'm there's no lack of loyalty in my camp for being a friend with both p I can support the friend. I don't have to support the beef. And that's how I feel about it. From watching you, what I like is that you can tell that you're being a loyal friend, but you also have your own self confidence and what you feel and you can stand on that. And so I as as a viewer, I'm like, Okay, I see this. I can see her side, even if I don't always agree with everything that you may have said. I can go oh, I feel where her heart is coming from. Yeah, and she calls people out like even if you know, like Teresa is your friend, but if she's doing something you're gonna I wouldn't have done it, you know, like I said, that's not what I wouldn't have done it. But now you did it, and let's get past it. You are the voice of reason. Are you going to be? Uh? Are you bridesmaid? This is it's everywhere you're No? No, oh my god, no, she has you know. I mean, at my age, I do think I want to be a brideswaide standing up there, I am plower girl. That's what you want to be a brides maid? Never bride this one here? Hi, okay, all right, wow, okay, So how do you feel like Teresa's handling the Louie drama. I think that Theresa was very emotional understandably, so totally. It's just listen, Tamma. You know, you know Teddy, you guys know the people that come on for you, you feel very guilty when they get whether you like them or not, whether you love them or not. And it's harder when you love them so much, is you know, it's hard there aren't there for you, and then somebody says something about them like you want to die, like you're like, oh God, like you know what am I doing? Why did this have to happen? And that's when you start to hate your job, you know? Will you get defensive? I've had years where Cassip come after my husband and you you know my husband doesn't want to get involving two ships, right, so you know you want to get involved in that. And she doesn't want Louie to have to deal with that stuff, so she's But I don't hard defense mode though. If somebody came after Eddie, it's not because they saw something on the internet. I think it's hard when you enter a show and you already know that something's gonna surface. Yeah, will you start to show you also, yeah, you don't always know, right, So this happens to be what's going on here? Is it happens to be a very um, you know, an X that's very scorned X, very angry girl and I don't really know, you know whatever. But I don't who knew that this? I think this will started when he started dating Theresa, right, so I didn't I don't know that he knew that something would be like this craziness. Oh so this all leaked after she wasn't already coming for him before the show started airing. No not to not to my knowledge, Tenny, I honestly never thought the video of Louis was bad. I certainly didn't. I didn't. I thought, you know, I come from a background, like I like self help and retreats and things like that. I just felt like he was trying to better himself, you know. I I getted around and one of the things I'm like, oh, you know, it looked like a bunch of jerkos. But that's like just my lingo. I know, I just want to see them come to one of my parties. I would invite every one of those Gold guys, and I want them to talk to my ex boyfriends and terrib lifriend tell her how do you feel like? I was like making fun of them a little bit, but I thought they were great. I mean, video wasn't the problem, guys. It was how for me I wasn't. I was like fine with the video, but it was how he responded to brought up. Then I was like, why is he so ashamed of the video? Now it's making me wonder. Now I'm wanting to watch the full length video, Like before you I feel like, listen, he was just walking on the scene. This happens the day he's supposed to like film, and he was like it was like, Harden, you know, like we don't always say things right on camera, right like in the heat of the moment. Like I feel like he could explain it better without being so nervous and having everybody and cameras in his face, and like, this is a whole big thing going on, so no know that that came out of nowhere and he needs he can explain it. I think that's how I always felt. Well, I'm I'm rooting for them, I had said on a podcast earlier when he was doing all these affirmations and all these cards and the scroll and all that stuff. And I had said on a previous podcast, I said, he kind of gives me Brooke butts from Vicky. And I think it pissed Theresa off because she unfollowed me and she must be mad. Then she's mad, but just tell her, but I am actually rooting for them. I like them together. I didn't mean it in a bad way. Somebody probably she doesn't probably know who Broke is, and somebody probably told her like she she gets a lot of like, oh, go look at this clip or like and she's only seeing what somebody said. Yeah, well, I wasn't saying anything bad. I was just saying because he did a lot of affirmations which actually are really nice, and I think she took. I mean, I think guys can they're either going to be super vocal or they're gonna have to feel like they need to prep their stuff when they come on because if they're not comfortable in front of the camera yet or whatever behind the camp. You know, that's a good advice for someone like like just no, but he didn't know, Like this was nobody knew this stuff was Like how did you know this person was going to do this? You know what I mean, Like I don't expect it. Nobody does, especially your first time on reality TV. You're like, what the ship is going on here? Now? Speaking of that, what about Bill? Like Bill kind of feels like I'm trying to fill him out. It was really good to see him last night, like picking March seen You're up and dancing like it showed like he really had a heart. Like I'm trying to figure Yeah, so I'm trying to figure out because he's you know, they're going for him and stuff. Is he uncomfortable talking about that situation or is he just heartless? He's not heartless, as he's a lovely man. I worked with him. He was nothing but a gentleman. Where I worked with him, he was so kind to his patience. You know, most would do their surgeries and run out of there. You know, I'm a surgical assystem by trade. So yeah, so so um yeah, So when Frank had everything happened with Frank, I had to scramble and get a small technical degree because I had never gone to school, only finding out then that I'm dyslexic and I have all these learning disorders. Right, So I get this small technical degree and I go to work and I become a surgical as because I love classic surgery. I used to watch House. That was my big thing. I didn't know what to do with myself. And UM, I'm like, oh, well, I'll be a surgical as system. Well it was really harder than I thought. Anyway, I make it and I start working with Bill Laden. He happens to be moonlighting at the surgery center. How many years ago? Um, this was like seven to ten years ago when this had happened. Did you know? I know now I have to ask you to tell no one, No, it didn't. It was separate aside. Everyone loved. He is a good person. I think that it was mistake and it was poor judgment. I think it shouldn't define who he is because I know him as nothing but a gentleman, always speaking lovely about his wife and children, always treated everybody with respect, and treated everybody in the surgery center like an equal instead of like he was above them. I like to hear that too. I hope that this is healing for them instead of you know, like watching it back and then working through it. I hope that that they can let go and be able to work it out for their family, because you could see during those conversations with their with their daughter that it's it's hard and he's a trooper. He is a trooper for even entertaining this conversation on a national television show because most guys and he didn't have to do it. He didn't have to do the show period. No, he got money, he doesn't care like he's yeah and uh, speaking of love life, So what's going on with the new boyfeelies? Nice hollies? Nice plies that from Dublin, Ireland. He's only been here about twenty years, so it's very different than what I'm used to. Like, he's not a Jersey guy, yet we have a lot of similarities, like, you know, it's like a family. I miss that old school mentality. Although it's not easy, you know, it's not easy. But yeah, so it's been fun. It's been fun. I had met him as I broke up with David. I wasn't like, really looking to get involved with somebody so soon, but David and I had been kind of like off for a bit. So he's fun, you know, Paul's fun. I learned how to drink. I've never been drugged before. Like, so now I drink like gentleman Jack, what a big guy? What So we're gonna see are are you drinking at the reunion? No, no one did. No what heard reunion was crazy. I know, you can't tell us one thing about it, but I heard it was crazy. So reunion was like, um, the worst ever ever done. That's my seven and it was absolutely draining. It's gonna Yeah, it was a long time and a lot of fighting and I'm not you know, getting along with someone right now. Out of nowhere. I don't even know who that is. Um, it's not important. Do you think that all relationships within, even though there's fights, do you think that all of them can be mended? I do? Oh good, Okay, I do. Yeah. And did anyone cry because Jerseys they're not been criers in Jersey? No one cried. Oh see, that's good that you're good. Jersey is not big criers like they. There's no room to cry here. That is. I could cry just thinking about not crying. Teddy teddy. Um, that's funny. Jackie a little bit pride, I think not even No, Jackie didn't really know there was Jackie. I'm very proud of Jackie this season. You see, you never know what somebody's going through, you know. No, I've actually reached out to her and told her, like, I'm so proud of her. She needs to hear it. So that's really nice. Yeah, yeah, because I can. I can kind of see her struggles. And I mean, you know when certain Housewives brings stuff up just for attention our storyline, but you know, this is like true ship that's going on in her life, and this is a very visceral, very issue with her and and and it's something she's been battling for so long, and and now and she she's scared. But I mean, now she feels like she's accountable to people. She's the world. Accountability is the thing that honestly holds you, you know, I mean, it's it's it holds you. Accountability is the one I mean. I started via Instagram. I said, hold me account I'm changing my life today. And that's the only thing that And this was you know, way before Housewives, but this was the only thing that worked, because when you're not being held accountable, you're only accountable to yourself, and then you lie to yourself. So I mean, but on a lighter note, we do have to ask, in a perfect world, do you think that Gia and little Frank should end up together? Um? I mean of course I would love for I love like the you know, the she's called me the other day and we spoke on the phone. Actually I love her. What will they wind up together? You just I don't know what I'd be happy sure, of course. I mean I know how she was raised, I know what kind of girl she is. I know she's got those old school Italian ways, like for the prom she made sure. My mother came in and sat down and made sure my mother had water and something. I mean, it's her prom and this is what she's doing with my mother. I mean, you know this is the thing. But do you ever talk to her dad? I don't. I mean I would take Instagram like I have, like commented on this stuff or anything. Yeah, but no, no to talk on the phone. Now. It would be so nice to see him. We don't get to see him this season. I would imagine Joe. Yeah, I would love to see him on American soil again. We could go, you guys can go over there. It was COVID. Yeah, like we listen, it's Jersey. We're not flying flying private places, different trips. Whether they know where they could get away with it? Right, it sounds like a good girl's trip. How's your mom go to the Jersey shore? She's good thanks to Tama. Listen. You know we didn't grow up um in a house where like I see how you are a nice your your your Finnish and your diet and Teddy is amazing with her kids, and I see them meeting their carrots and all that stuff, and I just that your children don't understand how lucky they are to have that in their lives because in Teddy As you know, like it's so important. It's a lifestyle, right, So we we grew up on like either cookies for breakfast or nothing, and it was just a different time. And I struggle with it now. My kids do not. My daughter's a vegan, she's gained some weights bothering her terribly. Is it's I don't think that. I think it's her workload and first off, and um, you know she's a veterinarian now, so she's working like crazy hours. And my son is just so strict with his diety. He's been his whole life. So they're they're okay. I certainly am not. Like I I had McDonald's the other night after watch What Happens Live, and I drove four towns to get it. MS your favorite fast food of them all, I have, not having gone in twenty years. Tamra gets really upset when I my love for Taco bell. I can't. I'm super strict, so I don't eat fast hammer like I know. I don't. And I haven't had soda in twenty years, like I won't. I've never my kids have never had soda. That's how bad I love it. These are the diet Dr Pepper here. I have to really I had myself an intervention from it. Maybe I was filming something stressful if I was like, can I have a diet doctor Pepper? Please? Yeah? This hurts my heart, I know. Another another big question is did you ever hook up even just a little kiss, peck anything? Why is this coming up? Because Margaret is an asshole about this? Okay, I yelled at her for this. She was kidding around and she said something about and I'm just I don't talk about anybody's thing like that. And I'm like, Margaret, you and I never had that conversation. I'm looking with somebody else or you how to dream about it? I never talked about She was like, no, you said short guys this or that. I've never been a short guy. I don't really, you know, Joe Corder is like a little brother to me. So it's so disgusting that like people are like stuff. You know, you never know what people will stick on, right, So Margaret was kind of like kidding about it, and I knew right away. I was like, whoa, Margaret, that's not like, don't even care round about that? And it's probably the most mad I ever got it her. Well, yeah, because you know how how she he is literally like a little brother to me. I've known him since he's a little kid, you know, Teresa and I have been for instance, her sixteen Joe. Joe and my sister used to work at the Rascal House together flipping hampers. I mean like, oh my god, he's a little boy. He's not a little boys and man, he is to me my like a little brother. So no, So that is that a hard no? Hard no, it's I'm pretty sure she's like, that's a hard no. I think she's also made a clear don't you need not apply if you're not all wow? I mean I never thought about it, really, just never was in line from I'm not I'm not. Yeah, I'm more unto short guys, I guess, I mean not sure. But I don't know if I've ever had a tall, like a super tall boyfriend. I'm only five three, so me too, timer, But I can tell you when a man is confident and he's strong and he's smart, and he's everything he could and he stands tall. So that's how I feel about that. Yeah, I mean, or there's or there's my husband. This is the best story. So my husband's like, yeah, I asked him what I said, how taller? You always would say like whatever, it was five ten five ten. And then the first time I brought him home to meet my dad, and at that point, my dad was married to this, you know, Glamazon supermodel who was obviously taller than five ten um, and they asked him how tall he was. You've never seen somebody change their tune fast in his life. He's like five five eight and a half five never. I'm not quite sure that what happened to that. It's like when I say on my license that I'm five five sure. How do you think Teddy and I would hold up if we were filming? Oh gosh, I think you guys would hold up fine until it got super violent. Oh I can handle violence. I don't know that I can handle violence. I think I honestly think I would cry No if you're not you you know, if you're not used to it gets really he did in that moment. People that walk on have walked on and said I can handle this. They don't. I would words. I would love the chance, I would. I would love to watch it. Girls, trip. Yeah, oh would you join? Of course who would say no that? But yeah, you know Dolaura's let's go on girls trip together? There you okay, but Tam already did it. But nope, me from Jersey was on that season. No, I think they were filming. Ah. No. I grew up in a tough, tough family. Like for me, like a compliment would be like, hey, you're asked. Isn't looked up big today? Like that's the kind of family I grew up in. So so I got thick skin. So I don't people always think that I'm from New York because I just mainly don't know. I could see that, I could definitely see that. But like I said, it's like, have I ever gotten nervous in that moment? No, I have never gotten nervous. Have I gotten stressed over behind the scenes stuff that they carry over, the carry over of the emotions and and yeah, then I get like that that gets to be a lot for me. And then we have one more kind of downer question and then we'll we'll we'll end on high. But it's speculated that you were not at Teresa's engagement party because there's only pictures of Melissa and Jen would like to confirm or deny. Yeah, No, I wasn't. I wasn't invited, not for any reason. Um, but they said that they only kind of invited people that they went out together as couples. There may be another reason behind it. However, what I can tell you is it was not because of Teresa and I weren't getting along or anything. It was Louie really didn't know me as a couple because I didn't mingle with them as a boyfriend girlfriend. You know, I had not gotten to known Louis yet, and I think Louis wanted just people, and it was intimate and just people. They did, like I said, things together as couples, which I had never done because I was just getting to know my boyfriend. And just you don't want Teddy. This is how I feel about that. I just say, Therese, I'm still happy for you, and um, it's not about me, and it's not about that I had answered to that, and it's not about the people that called me and said you should have been invited, and and it's not about any of that. It's about you're happy. This guy is good to you and your kids. Is really that's all I care about me, and I mean that's what I was actually going to end with talking about what you said right there shows the kind of character that you have. Um, I have to say, you were the first non Beverly Hills housewife that reached out to me after I got the boot, and we had like a thirty minute conversation. I had never felt like more at ease and felt like like it just you. We leave so many of like the like the self torture I was giving to myself, you know, whenever you feel any form of rejection and all of that and so kind and amazing, and I just I wanted to publicly say thank you so much for doing that. I'm glad you No, I mean and I and I I just I respect you so much for that and I appreciate it. And you've been doing this a long time and it was so kind. And the fact that you texted back in two minutes, you know, yesterday when I asked you to come on the bottom like this is such a good person. I mean, really, we were was excited to hear from you. I was very excited. And I actually have to be an event for St. Joe's Hospital. There's like six people coming in. You know what, Teddy, this will be isn't as much as I'm looking forward to seeing everybody. This is the highlight of my day because I don't always get to do like this is gonna be fun. But I'm tired. You know this event I'm going. I'm still not over the reunion and then the watch What Happens Live and then I got I got a stomach flue, and I'm like, you know what wasn't wasn't was McDonald's. It was don't blame McDonald's. I don't blame McDonald Damn rock. Can you imagine you're shine? Your body would reject it. It would be instantly, I know.
