Two Teas in a Pod with Teddy Meloncats and Tambra Edge. Hi guys, welcome to this week's Two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy Meloncamps and Tambra Chan. And we are bringing on Crystal mean Cough to discuss all things for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, UM, which I think will be good because we originally had you know, Renna and Kyle And why did you not have her on? Because too many people? One? Too many people and two I wanted no, No, she didn't know I wanted to. I mean, I've texted Sutton as well. We've reached out to Garcela. We know how that worked out. Um, and I want to talk to everybody, so it's like we can go in with a fresh opinion. Okay, who are you friends with on the cast? And who are you not from? We have to talk about this after after were interview because she's in the waiting room. Okay, okay, Crystal are you there? Hi? Crystal, We've we've never met before, but I'm Tamera. It's nice to meet you. I'm a really big fan of yours. Really, I love it. I love it because I went to you see your Vine and oh my gosh, George County. And I'm not kidding. Other than Teddy, obviously, you're my favorite. Like, I cannot believe I'm meeting you. I'm and then we wore the same dress. To remember we were the same You're making me nervous with your champagne again. I know I'm not going to smell my champagne. I'll put it over here. But we were the same dress. I can't what brand was it? I can't remember. She's asking, what was it? Jivago? I remember, now, okay, but I actually gave that up for a charity event. That dress. I love that dress. When did you guys both wear you? Were it at the reunion? Just? Oh, I wore it at the re union. Yeah, yeah, it's actually good dress. I just try to win at my ice maker, so hopefully won't be weird. But I just have to say, like, as a viewer, I adore you. You are so pretty, so put together, love the family life, love you. So as we were finishing, is going to tell you that she's always had good things. So as we were finishing last week's pod, I said, you know, the one thing that I've noticed about Crystal was because I've known her for nine years. Is that Crystal not on television is the life of the party. I'm telling you. She walks into every room. She's having fun, she's dancing, she's twerking, she's over the top, so much fun, which is why I originally preferred her on the show. I feel like you're kind of calm on the show, though, But that's what I'm saying, You're a little bit different on the show. She's gonna see, like I'm gonna tell you this is you know you. You texted me like you want some like tea and whatever, and I don't think she's so shady, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm allowed to say, but I'm just gonna say it because like it happened, and like I know, I'm not it's not storyline. It just happened. But there's a I got into it a little bit with Rinna, who I really I love when she goes. Teddy said you aren't like this in real life, and I said, what hold on? I said, you're right, because I don't. I'm not comfortable around you guys, Like I like being around Teddy and that's why I'm normal around her. So like how I'm acting on the shows, like I really you know, after last year, I was like like, let go, let go, because I'm so stressed about the cameras, like if you're not like if you if cameras are not your thing, like you didn't like seek that out or whatever, it's super uncomfortable, and so watching everyone fight on it, it's like because everyone like sort of they're not fakey, they just level up. And then I'm like and I don't know how to level up. I'm just the same all the time and like I want to have fun and relax, and so when everyone's like this, I get very insular because I'm like I don't know what to do. So it's actually me being very real that environment. But the environment is always like that, Yeah, do you feel like you're a little bit different the second season, because I feel like sometimes your first season you don't know where your places, you've never done this before, and then second season you're like, ah, here I am bitches. I walked in hopefully feeling that way, and then it didn't doesn't work out again, But but I love that you say that. Yeah, I was like okay, Like like Ted, you always gave me like you were, you know, you were always such a support, you know, support like show yourself, be fun. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be fun. And it's like that's who I am naturally, because I'm feeling it naturally right. And then towards the second half, I really settle in and I hopefully they'll show that. And then I just start like because I was like, oh my camera, Like, am I going to work and be weird and crazy and funny? Because like in your what I think what happens is like when after I saw on the show, if people misread like being funny or like is so full of themselves and I'm like, I'm not full of myself. I'm just trying to have fun. And so it's just such a mind f to you because you're trying and I get it, you're trying to self produce yourself. Are you worried about what people are going to say about you? Yes, I'm a such a people That's who I am, and people please, well you can't. You're just gonna have to let that go. And how influenced are you by what people are saying on social media? Because I see that sometimes people post uff. You'll repost it in your stories. I know it's affecting you. See, how are you kind of compartmentalizing that right now? So it's interesting that. So of course the first season and you're like, don't read it's you know, I just I was always in a rabbit hole. I was like, are you Like, yeah, it was really bad. And I think also because I'm starting on a time where social media is so severe, you know, and so it's very hard. I was like, Okay, I'm not going to worry about it second year, and I still did. But it's what's interesting now is seeing people reply to see means from my first year. It's so different. And I was like, now I really realize it doesn't matter. It's like people move on and they remember things different. Like I think that if I do it again, like I would totally be fine, because I know, really it's like it's so fleeting. But in the time, you know, like I've never been judged before, you know, it's a there's a learning curve there. Like back when I started, you know, my Space was very mean to me. My Space. I'm not joking it. My Space was so mean to me and I would wanted to reply to every negative comment. I wouldn't reply to the nice ones, only the mean ones because I was so hurt because I've never been picked apart like that from the way you look, the way you act, the way you dress, and I was just like, I felt so bad. I wanted to make friends with everybody that's been mean to me. And then I would say, after season three, I'm like, pound sound, I don't care pick rocks. It takes a while, and I mean I still deal with that. I always say, you know, people were posting stuff because you know I did that podcast with Erica, and are you getting a hard time for that? No, I'm just getting There's been like some people that actually really loved it, and I thought it was fun. It was so you know, all of these things. We got to see a different side to all of the women that we don't see on the show because everybody's guards aren't up. And then people are like, well, this is just Teddy trying to be on the show, and I'm like, listen, I am actually so happy to be able to talk about all of the shows. Stay out of the drama and make money doing it and watch it as a viewer. But ividently after you um move on from Housewives, you have to go die, yeah, like you have to go time you like and do anything else in life because people go, oh, you just and I'm like, you know what, Yes, I'm going to try to make money, like I'm making money, bitches, I possibly can, and yeah, as you should. I mean that's what we're not what the Husbler does, are right, that's what we are here to entertain you, no matter if you're on a show, not on a show, no matter if you're entertained or not, and no matter if I got d M s from people, like from fans like why weren't you there? And I'm like, people are allowed to have other friendships, Like it's just the most bizarre concept. It's like I start the show and then I'm on it and all of a sudden, that's my crew, that's my friend group. And if you're not together, something's happen, something's wrong. Yeah, And I'm like, but in real life friendships, but I have other Like I have a whole life that you probably have friends that won't even go on camera, that you've had friends for twenty years and like, I ain't going on that show. Most of my friends won't watch the show. Like, like I heard that you're cold. I'm like okay, Like I just don't watch it. Yeah, I mean it's it's because you are going to see a different side. So we have to ask certain fan questions that just kind of come up, which is we always ask how did you get cast on the show? Casted? Trouble because she says casted and it's not a word. It's not a word. Okay, Okay, I'm big on words. I get called okay, well I'm not. I have to we have to be transparent because the way the show made it look is that you came in as you and Kathy were super tight, and that's how it happened. So give us the real real. Um well, obviously I think the US have to have a connection to someone, right. So my first call was from you, and it was the end of March and I was sitting on the couch in the dark and it was like lockdown, right, everyone's like depressed. And it was literally a week or two after and you know, you texted me said, um, like, are you interested or something? And I said no right away and then um, You're like why And then we got on the phone and you were like you're so fun, You're so love like obviously it's hard for me to show that, but um, and I was like, I don't know, and you're like, just take a call. And then you know. It was COVID and I remember telling Rob and he was like, you have like this will be the one thing you have some to look forward to in the next six months and talked out like a phone call, you'll be able to go, You'll be able to do anything. So I was like whatever, I'll just you know, humor myself in a way. But it was never something on my radar and then they would just call. It was like a month later again, have a call. It was very relaxed, and then it was probably like gosh, end of summer. Then that's when Kathy called me. Was like I'm talking about it. I said I would do it if you would do it. So the Kathy thing came later. I've known Kathy for fifteen years, um, but Teddy was my very first call and I went through the journey with you. How is your relationship with Kathy now? Good? Kathy called me at ten thirty last night and I was falling asleep at eleven thirty, into which I said, I have to get off the phone, and she's like wired and it's good. You know what's interesting it actually like I've known Cathy for so long, but it's always been very sort of social. That's what I was gonna say, Like true like close friends or like, well other out and we chat and we have yeah, like I would always you know, we invited to each other, like we have a lot of mutual friends. The birthday party. You know, I'm hyper social like she does. She's somebody that like books herself multiple dinners a night and then goes to charity event and then another event like the Yeah, I have like two dinners tonight and like it's just but here's the thing I do it. I think actually it started from Fomo into like I really realized. I just it's like energizes me that. Yeah, not like he wants to be home at least two nights a week, but I can do six to seven nights out Okay, Rob, Now he's a producer, right, he's a director, direct director. Okay, so he's in the industry. Did you have any hesitation about being on the show. Yes, Yeah, First of all, the whole process going through it, Teddy like he just never thought it would happen. He was more like, he's like I cast people day and day out, Like do you know how hard it is to get cast and whatever? And it wasn't like I'm like I wanted. I was just like I felt bad because I kept talking to producers, Like every time I hung up, I was like, well, I'm not doing it anyway. He's like, just keep going, like you're such a fan of the show, Like I said, I watched Orange County from day one, and you want to watch Beverly Hills. And I was like, and he's you know, and Rob is not in reality he just family films. So it was sort of a way to like learn about reality TV. That's what we were. That was our direction from it. But once it started getting sort of closer, um, that's when we got really deep into it with his agents, our lawyers because they're his agents spization for twenty five years, so like really close friends, and we really wanted to make sure that we as a family, like in his career, was protected because that's number one in my life, you know, in our family, he's he takes care of us. You know, I have my business, but that's our life. And um, and they were like, no, it's really not like we know who you are, so it's not going to affect him positive or negative. And then that's when it was scary though. But we really like Rob and I dug deep and we're like, is it going to affect us? And I always tell people like people, are you freding in divorce? And I'm like, the show doesn't create divorce, No, it doesn't. It doesn't. You have to have a like a rocky foundation. Well that's what. If you're in a good relationship, you're not going to get divorced. Well, when Crystal said should I do this? I said, listen, if you don't have any terrible skeletons in your closet, do it. Yeah. If there's something you can not skeletons, if you just embrace them and say, listen, I screwed up. I did this. I did that. Nobody can shame you for it. Yeah, Like, as long as you come forward, like, don't you can't be hiding anything going to the show. He's like, that was my question, I think, And I think my second one was like do you ever feel unsafe? I remember, like I like skeletons. That stuff wasn't my thing. My thing was like, well, I like, you know, because as a person who's not hasn't been in front of the camera, you see like paparazzi and did I was like and then four stories and I remember asking like, have you ever felt like followed or I'm safe? And you said never? And that was actually my because I had young kids, you know, and so that was scary for me. And it wasn't the skeletons. It wasn't like that stuff. And then it was also just like how much is it going to change my life? Um? And it has? How much has to change your life? Yeah, it's changed dramatically in some ways, and then absolutely nothing and others like when I like I said, you have a solid home and foundation, like your kids, you just go back and you're like at school pickup and you know it's those three months that you're filming. And then you sort of I love that you say three months. You know it's like a full year job. It is. But I'm saying like when I'm so many jo I check out, I'm very not social. I'm like this is I'm I can't see you guys until February. Do you feel like any of your longtime friends that you've had have changed towards you. Um My long Like I'm really close with like my friends from elementary high school, like I grew up in l A. And they anybody changed in the attitude or gotten jealous because that does happen, I will say, more so people in my life and more recently who are like the people that don't be from the beginning, but they want to be your friend. No, they but what about people that you knew like socially and all of a sudden they want to be your best friend because you're on TV now. But I think the difference like a lot of Crystal's friends are old money I'm just saying, and doesn't want their dirty But moms at school they're like, hey, you know what, Teddy knows this more than I. Like I was already that person. I was like hyper social, dissenter every like that's just who I am. She plans all the parties, cooks all the food, like does all the things. So it's not like it it got more. It's just always like they're like, oh, like now you get to be on a show and get paid for what you would do anyway. But I'm like, this is I did so you're the perfect house. You're the perfect house. But then we have to go kind of to a harder discussion. I saw on your Instagram you opened up about your eating disorder, which as your friend, we have never talked about, and I was like, holy shit, how did I not know this? Why have we never talked about this? And what made you feel more comfortable to share it? I mean I did something similar in regards to what I decided I was going to change my life. I changed my life on Instagram way prior to Housewives, but like, hold me accountable to taking care of myself. But I'm curious what made you decide to do that and and how does that transpire on the show. So it's interesting. I mean, you never so many people with my cousins called me like we had no idea, because it's not something that I'm just gonna say like, hi, I'm having that. You know, there's that. I definitely have some friends at knew, especially my friends that I grew up with from middle school in high school, because it was like built, it was developing then, so they saw sort of the signs of it as a and then as an adult, I've sort of managed it and that's been my secret, right that that was my skeleton, But it never felt that it was one of those things where it was like like I didn't really feel ashamed of it, you know, And I think what was happening was that being on the show really made me so introspective of like what is my reality? You know, and as you know it it's pretty perfect in a weird way, like I know that's like even saying that as like, uh, you know, whatever negative gonna get, but like I feel like in my life it's pretty generally good. And that was the one thing that was like not and it was weirdly like too quiet, and I just was like, that's not authentic, and it would come up in moments of the shows like like every day, you know, I hate clothes, I hate getting dressed up, and it was like it was the date of my existence putting on close because I felt terrible and wait, so you felt terrible about the way you look. So just so you know, any time I'd ever hung out with Crystal in the past, like she's always like the khaki short's like slides like a buttoned down like she's just very casual and you're very like buttoned up and like prim and proper on the show. Yeah, yeah, I mean I but it's I'm very prim and proper in sort of high like nice events, you know, but which like I see you in very casual of like my ninety nine percent of my life. Um. But yeah, it just felt like like that part was happening and I wasn't saying it, and I'm like, you know what, it's not really fair to like to say my life is perfect when it's not. But you talk about you're eating disorder and the next season. Yeah, because I mentioned it last year because it really helped. I kind of remember that. Yeah. Yeah, so I mentioned it when Sutton came in my room and I was naked and I felt I dropped to the ground. I was covering myself and I felt so, oh my god, that that makes sense. That makes sense now because before I'm like, why is she mad because suttons are naked? But that I get it now. So I just felt like they need Yeah, they needed to they needed to know. Yeah, how are you? How are you doing now? It is a it's been since I was it's daily. Right, are you in treatment for it? I mean because we're watching Jersey and we're watching what's going on Jackie Jackie, and it's been so informative. So are you are we going to see that play out this season? Yeah? Yeah, I talked about it more because you know, it comes out on Instagram while we're filming or right before. I think, and then, um, I think they for the girl because I didn't talk about it much last year, so I think it was sort of added. It was a blip, and then it wasn't. I didn't discuss it anymore, and um, because I posted it, someone brings it up, and then we talked about it more and it's in general supportive. Some of it's a little bit judge, but it's okay. And I you know, I think that's the thing of It's It's like any sort of disease or issue that we have, there's gonna be a plethora of um responses to it. And so that's what I go, good and bad. But it's good that you're bringing awareness to it. Yeah, for sure, we have to take a little break. We'll come back and we're going to discuss a couple of additional things. So I have a question, who are you closest to on the cast? Right now? Come on? Give it up, Crystal. I know it sounds so weird. Oh okay, I really love Shari Oh. We don't know much about we don't know her, and we've been seeing some of her instagrams where she was like selling bags. Yeah. I really like Shari Um and I actually I talked to Sutton a lot. Okay, so how did that happen? Like, because also we saw the first episode. I know I heard that day sent it out, like, I know people have seen it. It's really good. The first episode. I thought it was amazing. Okay, So back to our question, what's the deal with Sutton? So with Sutton, it was interesting because I think because I interacted with her the most, even though we were arguing, it's weird because then you you feel like you get to know. So I remember coming to your house once. I was like what is her deal? I was not good with her. I was like, why is she she coming after me? And she's like, You're like, I think she's kind of She's fine. Remember you were like you were kind of surprised. But no, I said, Sutton has a very weird sense of humor that sometimes I don't think is I mean, I'm being honest, sometimes I don't think it's actually funny. Sometimes I think it can be funny, but sometimes I think it's Southern humor, which is like to kind of it's like passive aggressive, and sometimes it's funny. Um, what we noticed in the first episode is, um, she does something that you're it's a little cringe, but then I mean it's very cringe, but then she's good in her confessional, so it kind of makes up for it. Um. But for me, as how I was when I was with you know, the group at the end, I'm curious if you think that Sutton and Garcela's relationship is authentic. She's thinking about it, Oh, I really, you know what, here's the thing and I pause. Not because it's like, no, it's fake, it's because it's I mean, you and Kyle are so freaking close. It's hard for me to imagine being being able to be that close to someone on the show. It's just personal, like, because I'm so close to my friends, I share, like, because the environment is so kind of bizarre toxic, Yeah, just so I'm always on guard. Yeah, you're smart, I mean guess, but also how do you do it without feeling really like I had to have my Kyle to survive. Well, I had Diana this year. Oh yes, tells about Diana. I love her. When she's like you need a new villain, it's so But no, I want to go back to that because I don't want that to just like end in space. No, they're really good friends and they are one of the closest friends on the show for sure, and it's genuine, like they really like each other. But because when I was on, they did not like each other at all. Well that's what I'm saying. It's like, but it takes time, Like I hate it someting last year, and like it doesn't mean that I'm best friends with Everyone's like, oh so glad they are a team now. It's like like we're friends now and we're good, but it takes time to get there, Like and people expect the show to exist over you. It's like it's so short lived and it takes Like I'm someone that takes time and because everything I want to do is authentic and so is their friendship real for sure, but they have only known each other a couple of years. Are you talking? Are you talking to everybody on the cast right now? Am I? Yeah? Yeah? Who did you have your biggest drama with this season. I mean, I know the girls teased everything. You don't have to tell us why, but you can say who it is. I would say, my biggest drama is I don't think I could say it. You can say it saying is. You don't say what, don't don't spill the t on y, you don't say why, Just say who you're having the biggest issues with. I'm a season housewife. I know this, Okay. I would say, garcel Oh really, Oh that makes me excited now, I'm excited because you don't like her. No, I like, here's the thing. I don't dislike Garcella. And I even said, like Crystal, when we were filming, when you guys were filming and I was working for extra, wasn't garcel like friendly to me at that event? Remember for Kyle's opening, So all of a sudden something shifted now and she refused to come on the podcast if I was on it, she would only do it with Tamera. So I don't know what has transpired that now. I mean, I commented on what she said about Kathy and Kyle. I said, you know, I thought that was a little bit reckless to say that because that's her sister, and watch What Happens five and like, I think here's the thing, blood, I think runs thicker than the relationships on these shows ultimately, and the way she said it was kind of just like but but she apologized to Kyle. She did apologize to Kyle. And so I don't have an issue with Garcela, and I want to go into this season open, but I can't because she's to my face, she's always nice. I don't know her. So I judge people on how they treat me and not how they treat other people, and definitely not how they treat people on a reality show. So I would love for her to come on. And that's that's what I'm saying. Like it to my face, she's always nice, So what's the issue. It's like the Sutten thing with me. Sometimes you have to go through heavy speed bumps first, and like now, like I'm like, it's great with Garcia, you know, like because I feel like we had to go through that, you know, and you know she had questions and whatever. But um, and again, like you said, Teddy, it's like, I don't it's hard. I'm a little bit different on the show. Because I'm I'm like with hold up on the show because I'm stressed and nervous, you know, and so I think people don't really get to know who I am. And and then once I get through that, I really open up and have fun. And I was like, oh my god, this is what this is the crystal we want? You know. Well, if you guys aren't like so scary all the time, right, do you think that you're getting a second season curse or you think that you're going to get the second season better at it? Um? I don't know. We couldn't like. I don't feel like you do anything to to be to look bad. I don't feel like you're that person. You're more like the voice of reason. Um, there's a little she has a little drama at the beginning. I think, yeah, you do not in the first season, not first episode, but you do some inside information in yeah, um from all the Girl you have all the inside but I can't spell it, but you see we politely spill it. Yes, I know. I want to ask you a question, what was it like to be the first Asian American on Beverly Hills? Oh? Man, I mean it's it's pretty incredible. It's ize how um, how meaningful, meaningful it was for people, and then in turn it's become so meaningful for me. Yeah, and that's been really special. And I've it's what I was with my girlfriend a day and she's Korean and and we she's like, you know, it's weird because it was such a hard year for for Asians last year, UM with the uptick of um Asian hate crimes made us sort of really fall in love and really like own Asian iss and we're like, let's just wear Hello Kitty all day. Oh my gosh, did you get out it? As opposed to feeling sort of embarrassed and nerdy and all those things that we were we felt growing up like stereotype And now we're like, we're cool and we don't care what you think because like we still write on like stationary with like you know, dolls on it, like we don't care. Yeah, did you feel pressure about representing? Of course? You know. Do you feel like you don't want to overdo it, you don't want to underdo it? Like did you feel like it was kind of I feel like it's going to put you in a weird position, Like I don't want to overdo it. I don't want people to hate me even more. And you talked about it last year that you've got a lot of hate, a lot, a lot of racist comments. Yeah, I'm getting it. But I'm so glad you said that, because honestly, like I wouldn't know that. I wouldn't know that, Like I mean, I get hate, but it's not because of my race. It's because you know, as I breathed, ahole, I smiled, I but I spoke, I lifted my hand up. But I feel like it's it's a very educational for people like me that don't know that. Yeah, yeah I was. I wasn't raised like that, Like we didn't. I don't hate anybody the color of the skin or their gender or things that we don't know about that. So I think the education for all of us is so important. Um. We do have to end with a couple of fan questions, which these are ones that we put on Instagram. They ask us they want to know one. So we see in the trailer where you said, where Erica says to you, it's cool, too important the victims. So yeah, that's okay. By the way, it is cool to support the Yes, it is so so where do you stand with Erica today? Um? Well, look, I mean as you heard, because I don't. I was like, I was getting urso giving away stuff like you heard. She felt like that was that if she could take anything away, you know you on your podcast the other day. Um, and so yeah, she's she has she's ever apologized for saying that. But that's it's Actually it's interesting because that wasn't about me, you know, I mean, that wasn't attack on me. I never took that way. I'm like, whatever you think, I'm cool, whatever, you know. Like, I think what she meant and I'm not trying to defend her in this moment, but I think she meant, was you you care more about what the audience thinks in regards to the situation than what I'm going I don't think anybody realizes what she's really going through. The intense stress of that has got to be like and and the way that she handles situations, and she she's going to go like a book, the thing that helps me open up the most and really expressed my feel like when I'm withholding, it's because I'm scared in this situation. I'm not scared. That's how I feel, And then who are do you feel the closest to right now? Like truly you would go to lunch with off camera, well friends with know, but like you would spend time with off camera. She said, Kathy calls her at night, but like, well that's pretty close if she calls you at thirty at night. No, but that that's kind of Cathy's thing, Like Cathy loves She's she's she's on Red Bull and fans. Kathy's not calling everybody, but um, that she's only calling me bitch. Um, It's funny. I really have a very I haven't. I think I'd like to think I have a good relationship with everybody. Um, I probably am gonna. I got together with SHERI for dinner. Um, that was my really only and then I see Sutton sometimes I'm Missie garcel Um. I went on a trip with Renna. We never posted it, we never talked about it. We want on a trip after the show wrapped. Randa didn't post what where'd y'all go? Like right after we went with We have mutual friends, so they minded both of us and we had a great time. It was so nice to get to know Rena off camera. I know, is it n off cameras so fun? Yeah? It was great, it was really great. Um, do you still have the leather pants? Yeah? Do you still have those ugly leather pants? I like them, but I thought they were cute. They're super cute, and she had and now she was all she does is wear leather every time? Did you hear on our last podcast where I said, like, she always comments on my outfits, but she's like wearing seashells and like, well watch, we're wearing everything you wear. Oh my gosh, you please tell me you called her out and the leather? Could you wearing all that? Leave? Okay? Okay, um, all right, silly questions. But what is your favorite movie that your husband has worked on? Is it King? Or the new one? Okay, the new one? And I'll tell you why because what's it called again? It's called PAUSI Fury something something I don't remember, very supportive Life out July And it's actually the credits are opening Sonic. So if you've seen Sonic the Hedgehog, you'll see the opening. Um. I'll tell you why I love it. It's because Rob consistently says it's um. He has been the happiest he's ever been working on it. That's important that like because it was independent, he did it on his own private financing. To watch him be able to create a movie without any like one in his ear. He just had the best time and like it made our house happy. And he did it during pandemic in his studio at the house. Um, and which allowed me to do the show. And um, yeah, so I'm really excited. He's just so happy with it. And normally he's like fraught with stress about like are people gonna like it or not. It's like he doesn't have that and it's so great. Um. And then the last question which I asked the other girls on Beverly Hills, and you're gonna have to answer you cannot count Rob, But who would you marry? Kill you?

Two Teas in a Pod with Teddy Meloncats and Tambra Edge. Hi guys, welcome to this week's Two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy Meloncamps and Tambra Chan. And we are bringing on Crystal mean Cough to discuss all things for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, UM, which I think will be good because we originally had you know, Renna and Kyle And why did you not have her on? Because too many people? One? Too many people and two I wanted no, No, she didn't know I wanted to. I mean, I've texted Sutton as well. We've reached out to Garcela. We know how that worked out. Um, and I want to talk to everybody, so it's like we can go in with a fresh opinion. Okay, who are you friends with on the cast? And who are you not from? We have to talk about this after after were interview because she's in the waiting room. Okay, okay, Crystal are you there? Hi? Crystal, We've we've never met before, but I'm Tamera. It's nice to meet you. I'm a really big fan of yours. Really, I love it. I love it because I went to you see your Vine and oh my gosh, George County. And I'm not kidding. Other than Teddy, obviously, you're my favorite. Like, I cannot believe I'm meeting you. I'm and then we wore the same dress. To remember we were the same You're making me nervous with your champagne again. I know I'm not going to smell my champagne. I'll put it over here. But we were the same dress. I can't what brand was it? I can't remember. She's asking, what was it? Jivago? I remember, now, okay, but I actually gave that up for a charity event. That dress. I love that dress. When did you guys both wear you? Were it at the reunion? Just? Oh, I wore it at the re union. Yeah, yeah, it's actually good dress. I just try to win at my ice maker, so hopefully won't be weird. But I just have to say, like, as a viewer, I adore you. You are so pretty, so put together, love the family life, love you. So as we were finishing, is going to tell you that she's always had good things. So as we were finishing last week's pod, I said, you know, the one thing that I've noticed about Crystal was because I've known her for nine years. Is that Crystal not on television is the life of the party. I'm telling you. She walks into every room. She's having fun, she's dancing, she's twerking, she's over the top, so much fun, which is why I originally preferred her on the show. I feel like you're kind of calm on the show, though, But that's what I'm saying, You're a little bit different on the show. She's gonna see, like I'm gonna tell you this is you know you. You texted me like you want some like tea and whatever, and I don't think she's so shady, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm allowed to say, but I'm just gonna say it because like it happened, and like I know, I'm not it's not storyline. It just happened. But there's a I got into it a little bit with Rinna, who I really I love when she goes. Teddy said you aren't like this in real life, and I said, what hold on? I said, you're right, because I don't. I'm not comfortable around you guys, Like I like being around Teddy and that's why I'm normal around her. So like how I'm acting on the shows, like I really you know, after last year, I was like like, let go, let go, because I'm so stressed about the cameras, like if you're not like if you if cameras are not your thing, like you didn't like seek that out or whatever, it's super uncomfortable, and so watching everyone fight on it, it's like because everyone like sort of they're not fakey, they just level up. And then I'm like and I don't know how to level up. I'm just the same all the time and like I want to have fun and relax, and so when everyone's like this, I get very insular because I'm like I don't know what to do. So it's actually me being very real that environment. But the environment is always like that, Yeah, do you feel like you're a little bit different the second season, because I feel like sometimes your first season you don't know where your places, you've never done this before, and then second season you're like, ah, here I am bitches. I walked in hopefully feeling that way, and then it didn't doesn't work out again, But but I love that you say that. Yeah, I was like okay, Like like Ted, you always gave me like you were, you know, you were always such a support, you know, support like show yourself, be fun. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be fun. And it's like that's who I am naturally, because I'm feeling it naturally right. And then towards the second half, I really settle in and I hopefully they'll show that. And then I just start like because I was like, oh my camera, Like, am I going to work and be weird and crazy and funny? Because like in your what I think what happens is like when after I saw on the show, if people misread like being funny or like is so full of themselves and I'm like, I'm not full of myself. I'm just trying to have fun. And so it's just such a mind f to you because you're trying and I get it, you're trying to self produce yourself. Are you worried about what people are going to say about you? Yes, I'm a such a people That's who I am, and people please, well you can't. You're just gonna have to let that go. And how influenced are you by what people are saying on social media? Because I see that sometimes people post uff. You'll repost it in your stories. I know it's affecting you. See, how are you kind of compartmentalizing that right now? So it's interesting that. So of course the first season and you're like, don't read it's you know, I just I was always in a rabbit hole. I was like, are you Like, yeah, it was really bad. And I think also because I'm starting on a time where social media is so severe, you know, and so it's very hard. I was like, Okay, I'm not going to worry about it second year, and I still did. But it's what's interesting now is seeing people reply to see means from my first year. It's so different. And I was like, now I really realize it doesn't matter. It's like people move on and they remember things different. Like I think that if I do it again, like I would totally be fine, because I know, really it's like it's so fleeting. But in the time, you know, like I've never been judged before, you know, it's a there's a learning curve there. Like back when I started, you know, my Space was very mean to me. My Space. I'm not joking it. My Space was so mean to me and I would wanted to reply to every negative comment. I wouldn't reply to the nice ones, only the mean ones because I was so hurt because I've never been picked apart like that from the way you look, the way you act, the way you dress, and I was just like, I felt so bad. I wanted to make friends with everybody that's been mean to me. And then I would say, after season three, I'm like, pound sound, I don't care pick rocks. It takes a while, and I mean I still deal with that. I always say, you know, people were posting stuff because you know I did that podcast with Erica, and are you getting a hard time for that? No, I'm just getting There's been like some people that actually really loved it, and I thought it was fun. It was so you know, all of these things. We got to see a different side to all of the women that we don't see on the show because everybody's guards aren't up. And then people are like, well, this is just Teddy trying to be on the show, and I'm like, listen, I am actually so happy to be able to talk about all of the shows. Stay out of the drama and make money doing it and watch it as a viewer. But ividently after you um move on from Housewives, you have to go die, yeah, like you have to go time you like and do anything else in life because people go, oh, you just and I'm like, you know what, Yes, I'm going to try to make money, like I'm making money, bitches, I possibly can, and yeah, as you should. I mean that's what we're not what the Husbler does, are right, that's what we are here to entertain you, no matter if you're on a show, not on a show, no matter if you're entertained or not, and no matter if I got d M s from people, like from fans like why weren't you there? And I'm like, people are allowed to have other friendships, Like it's just the most bizarre concept. It's like I start the show and then I'm on it and all of a sudden, that's my crew, that's my friend group. And if you're not together, something's happen, something's wrong. Yeah, And I'm like, but in real life friendships, but I have other Like I have a whole life that you probably have friends that won't even go on camera, that you've had friends for twenty years and like, I ain't going on that show. Most of my friends won't watch the show. Like, like I heard that you're cold. I'm like okay, Like I just don't watch it. Yeah, I mean it's it's because you are going to see a different side. So we have to ask certain fan questions that just kind of come up, which is we always ask how did you get cast on the show? Casted? Trouble because she says casted and it's not a word. It's not a word. Okay, Okay, I'm big on words. I get called okay, well I'm not. I have to we have to be transparent because the way the show made it look is that you came in as you and Kathy were super tight, and that's how it happened. So give us the real real. Um well, obviously I think the US have to have a connection to someone, right. So my first call was from you, and it was the end of March and I was sitting on the couch in the dark and it was like lockdown, right, everyone's like depressed. And it was literally a week or two after and you know, you texted me said, um, like, are you interested or something? And I said no right away and then um, You're like why And then we got on the phone and you were like you're so fun, You're so love like obviously it's hard for me to show that, but um, and I was like, I don't know, and you're like, just take a call. And then you know. It was COVID and I remember telling Rob and he was like, you have like this will be the one thing you have some to look forward to in the next six months and talked out like a phone call, you'll be able to go, You'll be able to do anything. So I was like whatever, I'll just you know, humor myself in a way. But it was never something on my radar and then they would just call. It was like a month later again, have a call. It was very relaxed, and then it was probably like gosh, end of summer. Then that's when Kathy called me. Was like I'm talking about it. I said I would do it if you would do it. So the Kathy thing came later. I've known Kathy for fifteen years, um, but Teddy was my very first call and I went through the journey with you. How is your relationship with Kathy now? Good? Kathy called me at ten thirty last night and I was falling asleep at eleven thirty, into which I said, I have to get off the phone, and she's like wired and it's good. You know what's interesting it actually like I've known Cathy for so long, but it's always been very sort of social. That's what I was gonna say, Like true like close friends or like, well other out and we chat and we have yeah, like I would always you know, we invited to each other, like we have a lot of mutual friends. The birthday party. You know, I'm hyper social like she does. She's somebody that like books herself multiple dinners a night and then goes to charity event and then another event like the Yeah, I have like two dinners tonight and like it's just but here's the thing I do it. I think actually it started from Fomo into like I really realized. I just it's like energizes me that. Yeah, not like he wants to be home at least two nights a week, but I can do six to seven nights out Okay, Rob, Now he's a producer, right, he's a director, direct director. Okay, so he's in the industry. Did you have any hesitation about being on the show. Yes, Yeah, First of all, the whole process going through it, Teddy like he just never thought it would happen. He was more like, he's like I cast people day and day out, Like do you know how hard it is to get cast and whatever? And it wasn't like I'm like I wanted. I was just like I felt bad because I kept talking to producers, Like every time I hung up, I was like, well, I'm not doing it anyway. He's like, just keep going, like you're such a fan of the show, Like I said, I watched Orange County from day one, and you want to watch Beverly Hills. And I was like, and he's you know, and Rob is not in reality he just family films. So it was sort of a way to like learn about reality TV. That's what we were. That was our direction from it. But once it started getting sort of closer, um, that's when we got really deep into it with his agents, our lawyers because they're his agents spization for twenty five years, so like really close friends, and we really wanted to make sure that we as a family, like in his career, was protected because that's number one in my life, you know, in our family, he's he takes care of us. You know, I have my business, but that's our life. And um, and they were like, no, it's really not like we know who you are, so it's not going to affect him positive or negative. And then that's when it was scary though. But we really like Rob and I dug deep and we're like, is it going to affect us? And I always tell people like people, are you freding in divorce? And I'm like, the show doesn't create divorce, No, it doesn't. It doesn't. You have to have a like a rocky foundation. Well that's what. If you're in a good relationship, you're not going to get divorced. Well, when Crystal said should I do this? I said, listen, if you don't have any terrible skeletons in your closet, do it. Yeah. If there's something you can not skeletons, if you just embrace them and say, listen, I screwed up. I did this. I did that. Nobody can shame you for it. Yeah, Like, as long as you come forward, like, don't you can't be hiding anything going to the show. He's like, that was my question, I think, And I think my second one was like do you ever feel unsafe? I remember, like I like skeletons. That stuff wasn't my thing. My thing was like, well, I like, you know, because as a person who's not hasn't been in front of the camera, you see like paparazzi and did I was like and then four stories and I remember asking like, have you ever felt like followed or I'm safe? And you said never? And that was actually my because I had young kids, you know, and so that was scary for me. And it wasn't the skeletons. It wasn't like that stuff. And then it was also just like how much is it going to change my life? Um? And it has? How much has to change your life? Yeah, it's changed dramatically in some ways, and then absolutely nothing and others like when I like I said, you have a solid home and foundation, like your kids, you just go back and you're like at school pickup and you know it's those three months that you're filming. And then you sort of I love that you say three months. You know it's like a full year job. It is. But I'm saying like when I'm so many jo I check out, I'm very not social. I'm like this is I'm I can't see you guys until February. Do you feel like any of your longtime friends that you've had have changed towards you. Um My long Like I'm really close with like my friends from elementary high school, like I grew up in l A. And they anybody changed in the attitude or gotten jealous because that does happen, I will say, more so people in my life and more recently who are like the people that don't be from the beginning, but they want to be your friend. No, they but what about people that you knew like socially and all of a sudden they want to be your best friend because you're on TV now. But I think the difference like a lot of Crystal's friends are old money I'm just saying, and doesn't want their dirty But moms at school they're like, hey, you know what, Teddy knows this more than I. Like I was already that person. I was like hyper social, dissenter every like that's just who I am. She plans all the parties, cooks all the food, like does all the things. So it's not like it it got more. It's just always like they're like, oh, like now you get to be on a show and get paid for what you would do anyway. But I'm like, this is I did so you're the perfect house. You're the perfect house. But then we have to go kind of to a harder discussion. I saw on your Instagram you opened up about your eating disorder, which as your friend, we have never talked about, and I was like, holy shit, how did I not know this? Why have we never talked about this? And what made you feel more comfortable to share it? I mean I did something similar in regards to what I decided I was going to change my life. I changed my life on Instagram way prior to Housewives, but like, hold me accountable to taking care of myself. But I'm curious what made you decide to do that and and how does that transpire on the show. So it's interesting. I mean, you never so many people with my cousins called me like we had no idea, because it's not something that I'm just gonna say like, hi, I'm having that. You know, there's that. I definitely have some friends at knew, especially my friends that I grew up with from middle school in high school, because it was like built, it was developing then, so they saw sort of the signs of it as a and then as an adult, I've sort of managed it and that's been my secret, right that that was my skeleton, But it never felt that it was one of those things where it was like like I didn't really feel ashamed of it, you know, And I think what was happening was that being on the show really made me so introspective of like what is my reality? You know, and as you know it it's pretty perfect in a weird way, like I know that's like even saying that as like, uh, you know, whatever negative gonna get, but like I feel like in my life it's pretty generally good. And that was the one thing that was like not and it was weirdly like too quiet, and I just was like, that's not authentic, and it would come up in moments of the shows like like every day, you know, I hate clothes, I hate getting dressed up, and it was like it was the date of my existence putting on close because I felt terrible and wait, so you felt terrible about the way you look. So just so you know, any time I'd ever hung out with Crystal in the past, like she's always like the khaki short's like slides like a buttoned down like she's just very casual and you're very like buttoned up and like prim and proper on the show. Yeah, yeah, I mean I but it's I'm very prim and proper in sort of high like nice events, you know, but which like I see you in very casual of like my ninety nine percent of my life. Um. But yeah, it just felt like like that part was happening and I wasn't saying it, and I'm like, you know what, it's not really fair to like to say my life is perfect when it's not. But you talk about you're eating disorder and the next season. Yeah, because I mentioned it last year because it really helped. I kind of remember that. Yeah. Yeah, so I mentioned it when Sutton came in my room and I was naked and I felt I dropped to the ground. I was covering myself and I felt so, oh my god, that that makes sense. That makes sense now because before I'm like, why is she mad because suttons are naked? But that I get it now. So I just felt like they need Yeah, they needed to they needed to know. Yeah, how are you? How are you doing now? It is a it's been since I was it's daily. Right, are you in treatment for it? I mean because we're watching Jersey and we're watching what's going on Jackie Jackie, and it's been so informative. So are you are we going to see that play out this season? Yeah? Yeah, I talked about it more because you know, it comes out on Instagram while we're filming or right before. I think, and then, um, I think they for the girl because I didn't talk about it much last year, so I think it was sort of added. It was a blip, and then it wasn't. I didn't discuss it anymore, and um, because I posted it, someone brings it up, and then we talked about it more and it's in general supportive. Some of it's a little bit judge, but it's okay. And I you know, I think that's the thing of It's It's like any sort of disease or issue that we have, there's gonna be a plethora of um responses to it. And so that's what I go, good and bad. But it's good that you're bringing awareness to it. Yeah, for sure, we have to take a little break. We'll come back and we're going to discuss a couple of additional things. So I have a question, who are you closest to on the cast? Right now? Come on? Give it up, Crystal. I know it sounds so weird. Oh okay, I really love Shari Oh. We don't know much about we don't know her, and we've been seeing some of her instagrams where she was like selling bags. Yeah. I really like Shari Um and I actually I talked to Sutton a lot. Okay, so how did that happen? Like, because also we saw the first episode. I know I heard that day sent it out, like, I know people have seen it. It's really good. The first episode. I thought it was amazing. Okay, So back to our question, what's the deal with Sutton? So with Sutton, it was interesting because I think because I interacted with her the most, even though we were arguing, it's weird because then you you feel like you get to know. So I remember coming to your house once. I was like what is her deal? I was not good with her. I was like, why is she she coming after me? And she's like, You're like, I think she's kind of She's fine. Remember you were like you were kind of surprised. But no, I said, Sutton has a very weird sense of humor that sometimes I don't think is I mean, I'm being honest, sometimes I don't think it's actually funny. Sometimes I think it can be funny, but sometimes I think it's Southern humor, which is like to kind of it's like passive aggressive, and sometimes it's funny. Um, what we noticed in the first episode is, um, she does something that you're it's a little cringe, but then I mean it's very cringe, but then she's good in her confessional, so it kind of makes up for it. Um. But for me, as how I was when I was with you know, the group at the end, I'm curious if you think that Sutton and Garcela's relationship is authentic. She's thinking about it, Oh, I really, you know what, here's the thing and I pause. Not because it's like, no, it's fake, it's because it's I mean, you and Kyle are so freaking close. It's hard for me to imagine being being able to be that close to someone on the show. It's just personal, like, because I'm so close to my friends, I share, like, because the environment is so kind of bizarre toxic, Yeah, just so I'm always on guard. Yeah, you're smart, I mean guess, but also how do you do it without feeling really like I had to have my Kyle to survive. Well, I had Diana this year. Oh yes, tells about Diana. I love her. When she's like you need a new villain, it's so But no, I want to go back to that because I don't want that to just like end in space. No, they're really good friends and they are one of the closest friends on the show for sure, and it's genuine, like they really like each other. But because when I was on, they did not like each other at all. Well that's what I'm saying. It's like, but it takes time, Like I hate it someting last year, and like it doesn't mean that I'm best friends with Everyone's like, oh so glad they are a team now. It's like like we're friends now and we're good, but it takes time to get there, Like and people expect the show to exist over you. It's like it's so short lived and it takes Like I'm someone that takes time and because everything I want to do is authentic and so is their friendship real for sure, but they have only known each other a couple of years. Are you talking? Are you talking to everybody on the cast right now? Am I? Yeah? Yeah? Who did you have your biggest drama with this season. I mean, I know the girls teased everything. You don't have to tell us why, but you can say who it is. I would say, my biggest drama is I don't think I could say it. You can say it saying is. You don't say what, don't don't spill the t on y, you don't say why, Just say who you're having the biggest issues with. I'm a season housewife. I know this, Okay. I would say, garcel Oh really, Oh that makes me excited now, I'm excited because you don't like her. No, I like, here's the thing. I don't dislike Garcella. And I even said, like Crystal, when we were filming, when you guys were filming and I was working for extra, wasn't garcel like friendly to me at that event? Remember for Kyle's opening, So all of a sudden something shifted now and she refused to come on the podcast if I was on it, she would only do it with Tamera. So I don't know what has transpired that now. I mean, I commented on what she said about Kathy and Kyle. I said, you know, I thought that was a little bit reckless to say that because that's her sister, and watch What Happens five and like, I think here's the thing, blood, I think runs thicker than the relationships on these shows ultimately, and the way she said it was kind of just like but but she apologized to Kyle. She did apologize to Kyle. And so I don't have an issue with Garcela, and I want to go into this season open, but I can't because she's to my face, she's always nice. I don't know her. So I judge people on how they treat me and not how they treat other people, and definitely not how they treat people on a reality show. So I would love for her to come on. And that's that's what I'm saying. Like it to my face, she's always nice, So what's the issue. It's like the Sutten thing with me. Sometimes you have to go through heavy speed bumps first, and like now, like I'm like, it's great with Garcia, you know, like because I feel like we had to go through that, you know, and you know she had questions and whatever. But um, and again, like you said, Teddy, it's like, I don't it's hard. I'm a little bit different on the show. Because I'm I'm like with hold up on the show because I'm stressed and nervous, you know, and so I think people don't really get to know who I am. And and then once I get through that, I really open up and have fun. And I was like, oh my god, this is what this is the crystal we want? You know. Well, if you guys aren't like so scary all the time, right, do you think that you're getting a second season curse or you think that you're going to get the second season better at it? Um? I don't know. We couldn't like. I don't feel like you do anything to to be to look bad. I don't feel like you're that person. You're more like the voice of reason. Um, there's a little she has a little drama at the beginning. I think, yeah, you do not in the first season, not first episode, but you do some inside information in yeah, um from all the Girl you have all the inside but I can't spell it, but you see we politely spill it. Yes, I know. I want to ask you a question, what was it like to be the first Asian American on Beverly Hills? Oh? Man, I mean it's it's pretty incredible. It's ize how um, how meaningful, meaningful it was for people, and then in turn it's become so meaningful for me. Yeah, and that's been really special. And I've it's what I was with my girlfriend a day and she's Korean and and we she's like, you know, it's weird because it was such a hard year for for Asians last year, UM with the uptick of um Asian hate crimes made us sort of really fall in love and really like own Asian iss and we're like, let's just wear Hello Kitty all day. Oh my gosh, did you get out it? As opposed to feeling sort of embarrassed and nerdy and all those things that we were we felt growing up like stereotype And now we're like, we're cool and we don't care what you think because like we still write on like stationary with like you know, dolls on it, like we don't care. Yeah, did you feel pressure about representing? Of course? You know. Do you feel like you don't want to overdo it, you don't want to underdo it? Like did you feel like it was kind of I feel like it's going to put you in a weird position, Like I don't want to overdo it. I don't want people to hate me even more. And you talked about it last year that you've got a lot of hate, a lot, a lot of racist comments. Yeah, I'm getting it. But I'm so glad you said that, because honestly, like I wouldn't know that. I wouldn't know that, Like I mean, I get hate, but it's not because of my race. It's because you know, as I breathed, ahole, I smiled, I but I spoke, I lifted my hand up. But I feel like it's it's a very educational for people like me that don't know that. Yeah, yeah I was. I wasn't raised like that, Like we didn't. I don't hate anybody the color of the skin or their gender or things that we don't know about that. So I think the education for all of us is so important. Um. We do have to end with a couple of fan questions, which these are ones that we put on Instagram. They ask us they want to know one. So we see in the trailer where you said, where Erica says to you, it's cool, too important the victims. So yeah, that's okay. By the way, it is cool to support the Yes, it is so so where do you stand with Erica today? Um? Well, look, I mean as you heard, because I don't. I was like, I was getting urso giving away stuff like you heard. She felt like that was that if she could take anything away, you know you on your podcast the other day. Um, and so yeah, she's she has she's ever apologized for saying that. But that's it's Actually it's interesting because that wasn't about me, you know, I mean, that wasn't attack on me. I never took that way. I'm like, whatever you think, I'm cool, whatever, you know. Like, I think what she meant and I'm not trying to defend her in this moment, but I think she meant, was you you care more about what the audience thinks in regards to the situation than what I'm going I don't think anybody realizes what she's really going through. The intense stress of that has got to be like and and the way that she handles situations, and she she's going to go like a book, the thing that helps me open up the most and really expressed my feel like when I'm withholding, it's because I'm scared in this situation. I'm not scared. That's how I feel, And then who are do you feel the closest to right now? Like truly you would go to lunch with off camera, well friends with know, but like you would spend time with off camera. She said, Kathy calls her at night, but like, well that's pretty close if she calls you at thirty at night. No, but that that's kind of Cathy's thing, Like Cathy loves She's she's she's on Red Bull and fans. Kathy's not calling everybody, but um, that she's only calling me bitch. Um, It's funny. I really have a very I haven't. I think I'd like to think I have a good relationship with everybody. Um, I probably am gonna. I got together with SHERI for dinner. Um, that was my really only and then I see Sutton sometimes I'm Missie garcel Um. I went on a trip with Renna. We never posted it, we never talked about it. We want on a trip after the show wrapped. Randa didn't post what where'd y'all go? Like right after we went with We have mutual friends, so they minded both of us and we had a great time. It was so nice to get to know Rena off camera. I know, is it n off cameras so fun? Yeah? It was great, it was really great. Um, do you still have the leather pants? Yeah? Do you still have those ugly leather pants? I like them, but I thought they were cute. They're super cute, and she had and now she was all she does is wear leather every time? Did you hear on our last podcast where I said, like, she always comments on my outfits, but she's like wearing seashells and like, well watch, we're wearing everything you wear. Oh my gosh, you please tell me you called her out and the leather? Could you wearing all that? Leave? Okay? Okay, um, all right, silly questions. But what is your favorite movie that your husband has worked on? Is it King? Or the new one? Okay, the new one? And I'll tell you why because what's it called again? It's called PAUSI Fury something something I don't remember, very supportive Life out July And it's actually the credits are opening Sonic. So if you've seen Sonic the Hedgehog, you'll see the opening. Um. I'll tell you why I love it. It's because Rob consistently says it's um. He has been the happiest he's ever been working on it. That's important that like because it was independent, he did it on his own private financing. To watch him be able to create a movie without any like one in his ear. He just had the best time and like it made our house happy. And he did it during pandemic in his studio at the house. Um, and which allowed me to do the show. And um, yeah, so I'm really excited. He's just so happy with it. And normally he's like fraught with stress about like are people gonna like it or not. It's like he doesn't have that and it's so great. Um.
