• 7:30
  Speaker 1: into ourselves.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So it's like my mom lives here at the house,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: so we have a casino. We added on a kitchenette
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to it, so she's got our own entrance and everything.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So she comes and.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Goes, and I it'll be two weeks sometimes and I've
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: never even seen you.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: I'm not even sure your home or not, because if
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: your car's out there, I assume your home. But if
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: you were picked up right, you're not here so.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't see her as much as you would think.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I see her, Yeah, living with us.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And then do you have a favorite on camera mode
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that Tama has done.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's when she threw the wine at Gina.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And you had a speaking part in that. Do you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: remember what it was?
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: She says she's gonna throw my skinny ass in the
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: pool and I told her to leave my daughter alone
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: or something like that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: So you were there in that moment.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: She was in the middle of it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And what actually happened that made you throw wine? Yeah?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So I was going through my divorce and Simon was
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: putting a lot of really negative stories in the press.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He had teamed up with this guy named Alan who
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was at Radar, and they were constantly doing these just
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: nasty stories like you know, Tamra beats Simon and all
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: these crazy things. And they would always put my kids
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in the press whenever they did these stories, and Gina
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: was always commenting on them, talking to Simon, and so
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I kept telling I said, can you please stop every
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: time you do an interview, and Gina as well was
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: doing interviews. I said, every time you do it interview,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my kid's face are being all over.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: When you said cyst and deceased.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, sist deceased and uh so I you know, I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: was in NAPA with Eddie and I was right for
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the season finale and another article came out and Gina
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was commenting in it. So I said, this is it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I called my attorney. I said, what can we do?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He says, well, I can give you know, I write
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: up a letter of.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Ceased and desist.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I said, let's do it. And so I said
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: do I need somebody to serve her? And they said, well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: well there's more impact on that. And then productions like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: no you I told them, I God, I'm doing this.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: They're like, no, you do it yourself. So I tried
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to give it to her and she wouldn't take it,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and then she said I'm gonna throw your skinny ass
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in the pool, and then I can't remember I.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Threw it in her face. He slapped her in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: face with it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Oh great, hopefully great.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think I great a piece of paper. It's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: not going to hurt her.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, either doesn't actin Well, how did you feel about
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Tamra's bathtub scene with Eddie? He was uncomfortable for me,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: what do you mean have you watched all the episodes?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Like, no, I don't watch them all?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And did you watch when she was off?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: No?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah I did not. No. And then let's think what
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: what other hard questions can I ask? Oh, other than Tamra,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: who is your favorite Real Housewives of Orange County? It
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: can be from the past or at present. It doesn't

• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I mean out of.

  Speaker 2: Okay, for you, you're one of the few. I've got

  Speaker 1: I think it said who and it pointed at me,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and we're like laughed it off and laughed it off.

  Speaker 1: We were probably together about seven years, but only married
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a few years.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Well that's a pretty good amount of time.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean a lot of it was. It
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: took us a while to get divorced, but I think
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: by the time Ryan was probably two years old, we
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: were we were.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Separated, Oh my gosh.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And I moved back in with my mom. Right, Yeah,

  Speaker 1: then I've moved up. Then I moved back in.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Then I moved up.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: So you guys live together quite often.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, now in my older age, I move in with her,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I move out.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I moved back in.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she would live with my brother for a
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: But TAM's your favorite kid to live with? Is she
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: your favorite in general?
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not going to say that. Yes, all of

  Speaker 2: I you, I got you to do it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: My favorite kid is Ryan.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: That's the truth.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: That is the truth.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: We would get into a fight. It was when Ryan
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: was younger, and I felt like she was enabling him
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: because it was oh poor Ryan, he'd get in trouble.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Oh Ryan, it's okay, It's okay. So yeah, but not anymore,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: not anymore. She actually has ava every Thursday.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Now, she's my favorite.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: She's here now.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well we've got my mom in the waiting room,
• 19:53

  Speaker 2: bring in Vicky.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Any off limits? Uestian's Teddy?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think it's all pretty I
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: think I'm a pretty open book until we hear her
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: start talking.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, what.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So Mom, you're on with Sandy and Tamera.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Hi, Viki, how are you?
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I'm good now.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Recently, recently Teddy told us that you had taken a
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: little fall at work, and there's so many supporters on
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Instagram that were really like worried and rooting for you.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling now?
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: I am feeling a lot better. I fell on October first,
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: and my eye, the sixth nerve that controls the eyes,
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: is what was damaged, and it's They told me that
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: I needed to be I needed to use a lot
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: of patients, that it would be nine months to a
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: year before the nerve regenerated, and I told them at
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: the time, I don't even know how to spell patients. Oh, Peter,
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: do I Now I've now crossed over the seven and
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: a half month mark, and where is my eye? Laid
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: at seventy five percent cross eye? The right eye late
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: seventy five percent cross eyed.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: When it was resting until the six month mark.
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: Then it jumped to forty and now I'm at twelve percent.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're getting better.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Great progress, great progress, that's awesome.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: I'm excited.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: So I need to know this is a million dollar question.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: What was Teddy's like as a child? How was she?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Was she obedient?
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Was she a wild child? What was she like?
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: She was not a trouble maker. He was a trouble
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: of voiter. Okay, So when you say obedient, sometimes, especially
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: in the teen years, if you'd say, well, Teddy's sure
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: you could have some friends over as long as you
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: promised to stay.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: If they all get ready to leave.
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: Don't leave with them and help me clean the house.
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: You'd go, okay, mom, I promise, And then pretty soon
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: I'd be looking around and I couldn't find Teddy. She
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: was one of the first. She was one of the
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: first ones to go. But other than that, I mean,
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: of course I have to come up with something to
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: embarrass her, and that's as good as I can get.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: But she was.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: He was so dedicated and so committed to her writings
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: and you know, her equestrian activities, that she literally would
• 22:51
  Speaker 9: live at the barn. There were times I wondered if
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: I had a daughter named Teddy because I had seen
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: her for a few days.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think that dedication you writing kept her out
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of trouble?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I do think it did. I do think it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: Did? You know there were a lot of things that
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: she passed on because there was a horse show coming
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: up and she wanted to, you know, put in the
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: practice and put in the hours that she needed to
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: on that instead. And then I think she just knuck
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: a little bit of trouble in here and there she did.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But I know this is no shock to you, no surprise.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Teddy is a type a personality, right. Was she always outspoken?
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: I think Teddy was always She was always a performer.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: She would always.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: Perform things and keep keep the room laughing. And she
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: wanted to please people, and not in.
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: A bad way.
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: She preferred to keep things light and keep things entertaining.
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: And I was more of an emotional person, and I
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: think that's why sometimes her and I got a little
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: goofy because I'd want to talk about feelings and she'd
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: just want to do a dance.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I did not have any interest. There's things I have
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: no interest in. Phone calls, feelings, hugs, yep, yeah.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Pats on the back. Yeah. Teddy and I are a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: lot alike in that sense, like we don't like to
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: talk about feelings. That's why we have a really great friendship.
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: Can I use this opportunity to sneak one in since
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: I've got back up. Oh God, yep, I want to
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: I just want to say, forty two years ago, my
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: father called me on Mother's Day and said Happy Mother's Day,
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: and I was pregnant with Teddy. She came about six
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: weeks later, and I literally sat in the chair that
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: I was sitting in and realized, for the first time
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: in my life, I could celebrate Mother's Day because.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I did not have that as a as a child.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: And it's been like.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: That ever since.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: Okay, there, now I've said the emotional stuff and I've
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: got it out.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Mom, I think you're three for three with Sandy and Tam.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Were you pregnant with me when you were eighteen?
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Towo? No?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: How old were you?
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I was twenty?
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: I was twenty one or twenty two when you were born?
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: Twenty two when you were born?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: But then when'd you marry Dad.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: That same year?
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: But I lived with him for two years prior.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: To you being Okay, so you are a teen, then
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: I met your dad when I was nineteen.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: At the Rainbow Room.
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: No, at a dinner at a restaurant.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I think it was.
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: Dantana's or yeah, I think it was Dantana's.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was.
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: It was a secret blind date.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Wow, well a secret because he was still married.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: I didn't find that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't find that out for a few months either.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: But then you drove Indiana and your and yeah, what
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: was that a v W buss?
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: No, but Chevy love truck with partial Yeah, so fine,
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: it's fine.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: What was it like being married to John Mellencamp.
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: When I married John? You know, because I grew up
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: out there in California when I met him, the thing
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: that actually endeared me to him was he wasn't all
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: and I don't mean to be offensive in any way,
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: but he wasn't all sunglasses and you know.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Dinner reservation.
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: He was this Indiana boy, and we had enough of
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: that lifestyle intermingled with the beginning of his career that
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: that's that's that was.
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: A good part.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: Those were the good years, really good years.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: He's he was a lot of fun.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: There we go, She's like, and that's where we're gonna
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: end it, right to the what did you think Teddy
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: would grow up to be?
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: I thought she'd be an equestri in her whole life
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: and she still kind of is, isn't she.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, did you think that she would get into
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the entertainment business at all?
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: I didn't.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I didn't, you know what.
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: I didn't see it coming. And when Teddy was making
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: plans to move to Los Angeles, I was the last
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: one to find out. And I look back on that
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: now and I realized that was probably Teddy's way of
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: avoiding an emotional situation, because I probably would have been
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: begging her not to do that, you know, just like then,
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: we'll stick with the horses, you.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Know, we'll sell the house. Let's do what we could do.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: But that would have been.
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: Holding her down and holding her back, and she wasn't
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: about to let anyone do that, you know. So I'm
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: proud of what she's done.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Others, Yeah, she's done a lot, and she's probably, i mean,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the most driven girl besides myself that I know. Like
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: she that's I mean, we have a lot of things
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in common, but that's one of it. She she doesn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: have to work as hard as she does, and she
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: does all the time.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: And I admire that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Now, I have heard Teddy sing many times, and I
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: constantly tell her you have a great voice. Did you
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: ever think that she was going to pursue pursue a
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: career in the music industry.
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: When she did that demo of it, she did yeah
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: and was and was interested in it. I understood why
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: she would be. I mean, she grew up in recording
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: studios and on the side of the stage with you know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: with her little sister too, and I understood it. But
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: I think if I would have had any any emotions
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: on it, it would have been I would have worried
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: that she would have had a really tough row to,
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: you know, to hope with people judging her on writing
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: on her father's shirt tails and says like that that
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: mayor you know that that.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I now read some of her Instagram stuff and think what.
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: I don't know why I would have ever thought that, But.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Do you so, do you go into Teddy's Instagram and
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: read messages because my view, okay, okay, that's my question, Teddy. So,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: my mom in the past has done that, and she's
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: got into arguments with fans that are saying not so
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: nice things about me. Have you done that?
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I have done it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: Teddy has has forbidden me to do it anymore.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: But I did just I.
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: Did just get into a little nappy with somebody. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: it wasn't on Teddy's Instagram. It was on John Mellencamp's
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: fan page, where people were criticizing the way Teddy.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: And John were posed in a picture.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: And I got very I got very angry, wow, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: I deleted. I deleted it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Oh so you're posting delete person? Okay, okay.
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: I posted it, left it there for three days. The
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: administrator called and apologized profusely, and I thought, okay.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Enough for that, and I took it off.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, if my daughter was on TV,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I think that I would probably do the same thing.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I think that I would make comments, especially when people
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: are so mean on Instagram or on social media in general.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: It's really hard to watch that, and Teddy gets them
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and we all get our hate, but Teddy Teddy gets
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: some a fair share, which I don't understand at all.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of people don't. But that post that was
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: done with you and your dad, somebody recently posted it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I think it was reality blurb, and so I started
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: reading the comments because I saw nothing wrong with that picture.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So Mom Teddy took a picture with her dad. Teddy
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: explained that she had a he had a white t
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: shirt on and he didn't feel like dressy enough or something,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: so she put her leg up trying to block him.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And people are like, that's an inappropriate picture your father.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: But you weren't happening your father, you know, the debt
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: perception with cameras is hard to see. It's like your
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: leg was wrapped around him. But a lot of the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: people were in support of you, Teddy, and they were saying,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. That's her dad. You guys, if you're
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: thinking that, then that's your problem. That's a you problem.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And also and not for nothing.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did think, oh gosh, that is gonna look
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: a little funny. But there was no way I would
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: get another picture with my dad.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Mom.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: How much does dad like taking pictures?
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, take another one, dad.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: She would have been like, golf yourself. I just took one,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: my bellies not showing we looked good. There's absolutely no
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: way I'm getting another picture. So they're just gonna have
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: to deal with that, because I like, my mom just
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: came and we took nice pictures together. I like to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: have photos because I don't know if Mom am I
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: allowed to share this, but we we had some like
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: financial hardships growing up, and my mom had a storage unit,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: and inside that storage unit, we're all am I saying
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: this right, Mom, all of our photo albums and all
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: of our well.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: I still have a lot of photo albums, but yes,
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: there were a lot of your childhood.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Things in there.
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: And it was a scam artist that they came in
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: and closed down the storage unit and sold off all
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: my stuff.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: So I had the opportunity to.
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: Buy it back, but at that time, financially, I was
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: not set up to do that. So I said, have
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: fun with all that, with all those moldy because I
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: never threw anything away when my kids were growing up.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, if I had a place to store it,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I stored it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: And I think I had every single piece of Teddy's
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: artwork from the time she was in Montessori school to
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: senior in high school. You know, so all that's out
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: there somewhere.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: That's a bomber because you can't replace those. Now, when
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you found out Teddy is going to be on the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, what was your initial reaction?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Were you for it or against it? Are scared?
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: My initial reaction because I kind of I mean, I
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: remember Marathon watching what was that Top Top Model you
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: and I'd been.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, America, because I always love the competition shows
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: like America's Next Top Model, American Idol, Bachelor, those types
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: of shows.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: So I don't know that I was, you know, one
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: schooled on the Real Housewives franchise or you know those shows.
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: So when I first heard about it, I then watched
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: a few episodes because some of my friends and some
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: of my customers in the restaurant I worked at at
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: the time were telling me how excited they were that
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: Teddy was going to be on the show and it's
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: their favorite show, and so I then started watching it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: Then my initial reaction.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Was, oh god, oh god, yeah, I bet this.
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: Is gonna be scary.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Is there any moment on the show that you watched
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: her that you were like, Oh, Teddy, why did you
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: Not really, not really, I think you know it's it's
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: she's she's a grown woman, but she's my little girl,
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: you know. And I'm sure there were parts where I
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: knew the vultures were going.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: To come out because of.
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: Something said or done, and I'd be like, oh god, Jeddy,
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: oh what was the one Molisa you know I was
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: worried about Molisa showing up and.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Oh that was that. When I was younger, my alter,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: my mean alter ego was Mosha.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: And everyone have a mean alter ego.
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: Uh huh.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Everybody would be like, oh, no, so Mo's coming out,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: Like, if MO was mean as a snake, oh great,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: But I never I was never.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Mo on the show.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: No, I know. And I did watch every episode that
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: Teddy was in I dB artist, and I would always say, oh,
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: I'll watch it tomorrow during the day when I can wait.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't.
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: If it didn't matter if I got home at eleven
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: thirty at night or whatever, I'd still get through the
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: episode before going to bed.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, if if Bravo was to have a Real
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Mom's of Housewives, how can I say that the Real
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Housewife Moms?
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Let's say that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: So if Bravo was to have a show called the
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Real Moms of the Housewives, let's say it's an Ultimate
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Girls trip and they take some of the most iconic
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: moms on the show, put them in an island or
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: some fancy hotel. Would you guys sign up for that?
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: I would?
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: I would have. I would if I could do the
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: all in my teddy for about six months ahead of time.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I think that would be a great idea.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: I got some work to do. All this patience has
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: put on the pounds a little bit.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: We actually were supposed to my mom never filmed with me.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: We were supposed to film together. I was going to
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: go back to Hilton Head where I grew up, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: they were going to film my baby shower, and we
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: were going to meet my mom and my sister. Because
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: you have to realize they never saw any of my family.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I know, and.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: My mom has bipolar disorder, and producers knew that, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: they wanted us to talk about it, and my mom
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: had agreed to it. I had agreed to it. We
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: thought that it would be a good way to bring
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: awareness to it because we didn't realize that she had
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: it for a really long time. And then actually my
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: dad stepped in and said, I think this is a
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: bad idea, you guys. I think that's too personal of
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: stuff to share. And and then yeah, I got.
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: I got the I got the phone call from John
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: and he said, VICKI there, you know you don't need this,
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: and I went, yeah, maybe I don't.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, now, looking back, do you wish you would have,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: You know, No, I don't.
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: I don't look at I don't look at it as
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: a terrible missed opportunity. I may not have been at
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: the time, and yeah, it could have been fun and
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: I missed, you know, I miss out any opportunity. I
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: miss out on being with Teddy and her and her
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: kids and Needlin. You know, I pine over for a
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: moment or two or more.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: But uh, but she's learned to stop being emotional with
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: me about it, which is good.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Now you have if you were diagnosed with a bipologist
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and Teddy has been diagnosed with OCD, do you guys
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: talk about mental health to each other.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: I probably don't talk to Teddy much about it because
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: A she'd have to talk on the phone, be it
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: probably get emotional. She doesn't want that, and she I
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: don't know how much she'd want to hear from me
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: on the topic, knowing some of my ups and downs
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: over the years. And I don't know if it would
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: feel like, really, mom, you're talking to me about this.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: So yeah, but I.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Feel like she can learn from you, like my mom
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: grew up. My grandmother was schizophrenic and she was hospitalized
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: for for many many years and knowing that, I mean,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: she was a fabulous grandmother. Fabulous and you know, my
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: mom had she had my mom later in life, and
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: my grandmother was back then, you know, they put him
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: in the mental hospital and gave him shocked he ments
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: things like that. So she go without her mom around
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: most of the time. She was raised by her older sister.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: And for me, you know, I knew that at a
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: young age and love my grandmother. Always worried for my kids.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Is this something that's gonna because they say sometimes it
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: skips a generation. And now I have one daughter that
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: has OCD and bad anxiety and things like that. And
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I just feel like mental health today, before it was
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: just kept so quiet and we never talked about it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And I think that the more we talk about it
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and make it public, people will feel, you know, they
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: will relate to that and feel at home and feel like,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not the only one in this
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: world dealing with it.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: And I think that when my mom and I are
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: the closest, And I think that something people don't often
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: talk about when it comes to mental health is when
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: you're feeling good and you're you know, you've been medicated
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: and you're in therapy and things are good, then all
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: of a sudden you think I don't need to be
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: on the medication anymore, I don't need to be going
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: to therapy, or I don't need to be doing these things.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: And I've done the same thing with me, you know,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: with my anxiety. And so for me, my big priority
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: for my mom and for our relationship is that she
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: stays consistent on what's making her feel the best and
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: and and the times that she hasn't, that's where and
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: because I'm not great at sharing my feelings instead of
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: telling her like I love you, and that scares me,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, I want you to do this because
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I want you to feel good. I then just get
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: kind of mean, like I pull away, like my way
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: of not stern, but stern, like I just am like, fine,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: if you're not gonna, if you're going to go off
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: the medication, then I'm not talking to you. Like I'm
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: very and I regret some of you know, I'm in
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: therapy myself, and I regret some.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: When Mom had her fall and then she got really
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: sick afterwards too, I was like, holy ship, like you're
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: a mess. I was such a mess. And I was like,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: there are times that like I could have been there
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: for my mom and been more loving towards her and
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: more understanding to how she was feeling, and I just
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: refused because I was stubborn.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I think also the distance of dream you guys too,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: you not being able to see her all the time
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to you know, physically check out. Yeah, that's got to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: be hard.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I know we're running in time. But there's been a
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: lot of request for your special pounded chicken recipe if.
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: I were to make that public, and he wouldn't flend
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: me up to California again because.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Now you have to tell them it is so good,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: But you have to tell them the specifics because I
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: am such a weirdo about chicken. I like, I will
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: never eat chicken out ever. At Like, I have major
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: issues surrounding chicken. The dirty it's dirty.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, but I'll tell you real quick. You get that.
• 41:59
  Speaker 9: You get the chicken tender You know that, the packets
• 42:02
  Speaker 9: that's boneless, and it's like the tenderlin, the tenderloins, whatever
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: you take them up, you cut it. You make sure
• 42:08
  Speaker 9: that they're all somewhat similar in size, otherwise they don't
• 42:12
  Speaker 9: cook up right, you pound them out with.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Wax paper like I put wax.
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: Paper underneath it on top, and pound them out to
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: very thin, thin, thin cutlets. Now, if Teddy's eating at
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: your house, you then get a very sharp knife and
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: make sure you've removed any blood, vessels or veins or
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: in the newly parts of the chicken, because if Teddy
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: bites into something like that.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: It's over, okay.
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: So then you I refrige, I refrigerator them overnight, you
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: have to. That helps with the process, I believe. Then
• 42:48
  Speaker 9: the next day, in an egg milk bath, you know,
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: dip each one, then roll it and pack it full
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: of of you know, real a thick coating of progressive
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: Italian seasoning.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: It's very healthy all in, but I can't.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And then again, if you fry it for Teddy's all in,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: do you fry it or bacon?
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: Well, that's for Teddy's all in family. I'm sorry, but
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: this is the one one thing she does is.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: Enjoyed this meal.
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: Once in a while, I fry it.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: And then mashed potatoes, green bean potatoes or asparagus.
• 43:31
  Speaker 9: Asparagus is always a good one.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: And then it's some big caesar salad.
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: A huge caeesar salad and lots of lemon. Lots of lemon.
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: You squeeze lots of lemon on your cutlets.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love that.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And your recent trip to Los Angeles to stave Teddy.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: You made that meal, right, I did.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: I made thirty eight pieces of chicken.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: It's a non negotiable. If she's coming, we're having that meal.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: And my husband's obsessed with that, my kids are obsessed
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: with that. It's like and I don't know, I just
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: that meal gives me comfort because like when I was little,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I was such a picky eater that my mom would
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: sit down and I'd say, I am not eating that,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Like if if there was fish in it, if there's this,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want it. So she would
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: put down this cow's tongue and what was the other thing, Mom,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: cow's tongue and paste, and she would set it on
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: the table in front of me and she'd go, you're
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: either going to try what I cooked for dinner or
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: you're going to eat that. And I would just sit
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: at the table for hours.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Well, my mom used to try. My mom and dad
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: used trying to make me eat peas to this day,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: will not eat peas. I can't even stand the smell
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: of them. And then she'd always make me do the dishes,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: which to this day I hate doing the dishes. But
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: my dad liked weird food. My dad liked frog's legs.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, rabbit, fried rabbit, fried rabbit.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: I mean one time we had boxtails and beans, just
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: oh yum.
• 45:05
