1:17
Speaker 1: season has been we I mean we do we do
1:19
Speaker 1: a thing on two Cheese in a pod where we
1:21
Speaker 1: just kind of opened up the questions to anybody on Instagram.
1:23
Speaker 1: You saw that I did that yesterday. So we kind
1:25
Speaker 1: of go through and we just get through it all.
1:27
Speaker 1: But they everybody always asked, they want to start from
1:30
Speaker 1: the beginning, how did you get cast on Jersey? Um,
1:36
Speaker 1: so tamer you were on a long time ago too,
1:38
Speaker 1: when you know how it was in the beginning. Uh,
1:40
Speaker 1: they went around to all the high end hair salons
1:43
Speaker 1: in the country when you know, and and Thursday nights
1:47
Speaker 1: was girls night out and the girls were Caroline Manzo, Dina,
1:51
Speaker 1: her sister Dina, Teresa, Jacqueline. You know, we were all
1:55
Speaker 1: friends and we go out on Thursday night. We thought
1:58
Speaker 1: we were sex in the city. We were like Jim,
2:00
Speaker 1: choose and try to dress up and just come home
2:03
Speaker 1: empty handled all the time. And so when they went
2:07
Speaker 1: all around, Um, they went to this hair son, They're like, oh,
2:10
Speaker 1: do you know a group of women and you know, Thursday,
2:12
Speaker 1: you're getting your hair done to go out or whatever.
2:14
Speaker 1: We're getting ready, And that's how it started. And then
2:17
Speaker 1: they interviewed us and it was back when the Sopranos
2:21
Speaker 1: were a big deal. So people were intrigued by New
2:24
Speaker 1: Jersey and the way we spoke and the way we acted. However,
2:27
Speaker 1: we didn't know the rest of the country was nothing
2:29
Speaker 1: like that. None of us had traveled and gone to
2:33
Speaker 1: college or abroad or you know, maybe Italy to see
2:36
Speaker 1: the rest of the family for the summery him now
2:38
Speaker 1: and then, but nobody left the block. Yeah, but I
2:40
Speaker 1: think that's what makes it good. Yeah, so back then
2:44
Speaker 1: that's what it was. And uh so I decided not
2:48
Speaker 1: to do it because things got a little weird for me.
2:50
Speaker 1: I had not a great feeling back then about and
2:52
Speaker 1: my kids were little. So Danielle Stomp took my place
2:56
Speaker 1: hold on to one season. Were supposed to do it,
2:59
Speaker 1: and then you did season one and I not for me,
3:06
Speaker 1: But well, what made you change your mind? I didn't
3:12
Speaker 1: like something the producer said, and back then I had like,
3:15
Speaker 1: you know, I was like this, like very like um
3:18
Speaker 1: not worldly green out of a divorce, you know, never
3:21
Speaker 1: went away to college, never went on a vacation like
3:24
Speaker 1: and they said something I didn't say to my friends.
3:26
Speaker 1: They twisted my words a little, because back then that's
3:28
Speaker 1: how they produced. Nobody knew their tricks yet, right, nobody
3:32
Speaker 1: knew their tricks yet. And I was very offended that
3:36
Speaker 1: my friends questioned that I had said that, and I said,
3:39
Speaker 1: guess what, I'm not coming back big you know, big
3:42
Speaker 1: dick attitude, like I don't want to. Yeah. I had
3:45
Speaker 1: been big dick attitude too when I got cast it.
3:48
Speaker 1: But did you have any hesitation the second time around?
3:51
Speaker 1: You know that the second time Oh, I was ready.
3:54
Speaker 1: So a few years later and then you know, you
3:56
Speaker 1: got used to how they did it, and you got
3:58
Speaker 1: used to what it wise, and um, years later, I
4:04
Speaker 1: had a lot to um, I had a lot more
4:06
Speaker 1: to offer. I think timing is everything. So I've gone
4:09
Speaker 1: through some things in between. You know, Frank had lost
4:12
Speaker 1: a lot of money in a bad investment and I
4:15
Speaker 1: had to go back. I was working like three or
4:17
Speaker 1: four jobs, and I uh got engaged for a short
4:22
Speaker 1: time during that time, and my kids got a little older,
4:26
Speaker 1: and I got a little smarter and a little wiser
4:28
Speaker 1: and a little and I was ready to go back
4:31
Speaker 1: on and I had to go through the whole process again.
4:36
Speaker 1: I know I'm personally obsessed being a divorce woman, with
4:41
Speaker 1: your relationship with your ex husband, Frank. I mean, I
4:45
Speaker 1: love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.
4:47
Speaker 1: And I think I love him because my dad's name
4:49
Speaker 1: is Frank too, so I feel like I extra love him.
4:53
Speaker 1: But he is no way you guys can get back together.
4:57
Speaker 1: I just love you guys together. No, we'll such good friends.
5:01
Speaker 1: And you know that's been a long time now. So
5:04
Speaker 1: Frank and I have been divorced for like twenty three years.
5:07
Speaker 1: And I think the reason you guys can still you
5:10
Speaker 1: can be friends the way that you are because there's
5:12
Speaker 1: not that chance in your mind that we're going to
5:13
Speaker 1: get back together. Oh yeah, all emotions are out of it. Exactly, Teddy, exactly.
5:18
Speaker 1: So you know through the years, of course, I've dated, right,
5:23
Speaker 1: I've had five years at a time relationships here there.
5:27
Speaker 1: And I can tell you that if somebody is jealous
5:31
Speaker 1: or emotional, or if somebody in the relationship the next
5:33
Speaker 1: wife for the next husband is jealous or gets angry
5:38
Speaker 1: and has a problem with the person that they're they're
5:40
Speaker 1: dating for no reason, like let's say there's no it's
5:42
Speaker 1: because they still want to be with that person. That's
5:44
Speaker 1: how I feel. I'm sorry, that's how I feel because
5:47
Speaker 1: I could speak from experience. I'm happy for Frank. When
5:50
Speaker 1: I was done, I was done. Listen, Tamra, when I'm done. Um,
5:53
Speaker 1: But that's how I am. But I think you're right.
5:55
Speaker 1: I feel like there's always one one person in the
5:57
Speaker 1: relationship that has their ass all been because of what
6:01
Speaker 1: went down, and they can't make nice. And that's also
6:04
Speaker 1: another thing. There's also there's actually something else too. There's
6:08
Speaker 1: letting go of anger and resentment, letting it go. It's
6:13
Speaker 1: it's such an anchor. That's another reason. Okay, let's take out.
6:17
Speaker 1: Maybe the person doesn't want to be with that their
6:20
Speaker 1: ex for some reason, but they want to not see
6:22
Speaker 1: them happy. You know when you could take that. Neither
6:25
Speaker 1: one of us have ever had that with each other.
6:28
Speaker 1: Never it Listen, was it easy? We've had We had
6:31
Speaker 1: fist fights. I beat his girlfriend up. There was disgusting
6:35
Speaker 1: things that happened. Teddy discussed thing I've done. No one,
6:40
Speaker 1: no one. It took you a long time to get
6:42
Speaker 1: to where you are today with him, So it took me.
6:45
Speaker 1: I never Here's the thing, in spite of what happened,
6:50
Speaker 1: I didn't want to have what was left room, so
6:54
Speaker 1: I make like faked it till I made it right
6:57
Speaker 1: with me and Frank So I was as nice when,
7:01
Speaker 1: even if I didn't want to be. I had gone
7:02
Speaker 1: to a child therapist with my kids back when I
7:06
Speaker 1: didn't tell anybody I was going. You didn't have to understand.
7:08
Speaker 1: I come from a strict Italian, I rich neighborhood. Nobody
7:11
Speaker 1: was ever divorced, and we only knew from marriage and
7:15
Speaker 1: close families, and things happened in families, but you didn't
7:18
Speaker 1: talk about it, and no one got divorced. That was it.
7:21
Speaker 1: So now who am I going to call my best friend,
7:23
Speaker 1: one of my sisters, my mother. No one knows how
7:25
Speaker 1: to get So I went to a therapist, right, a
7:28
Speaker 1: child therapist, because I had one high school. If you
7:30
Speaker 1: had a fight, yet to go right. So that's the
7:32
Speaker 1: only name I knew in the business. I go Throre
7:35
Speaker 1: and it was the right person to go to because
7:37
Speaker 1: I brought my kids. Frankie was a week old, Gabby
7:40
Speaker 1: was three years old. And I'm shuffling through with a
7:42
Speaker 1: broken heart. And I said, and I'm sitting seeing while
7:45
Speaker 1: these kids sit in her office, and one was crying,
7:48
Speaker 1: punching the wall. His mother was heartsick, heart sick, and
7:50
Speaker 1: I said, I walked in around them and I sat
7:53
Speaker 1: down and said, how do I not have my kids
7:55
Speaker 1: so hurt? Because don't fight in front of them from
7:57
Speaker 1: that thing on Tamera. I shit, I didn't say we're
8:03
Speaker 1: I let it go. It ruins family. I mean, I'm
8:07
Speaker 1: firsthand no, like my ex would say horrible things about
8:11
Speaker 1: me to my kids and try to conquer and the
8:14
Speaker 1: end of the day, like I'm picking up the pieces
8:16
Speaker 1: for my children right now at their older age because
8:19
Speaker 1: of what their father put them through. It's a tail
8:22
Speaker 1: as old as time, you know, and it does take two.
8:25
Speaker 1: So I do have a lot of respect for Frank
8:27
Speaker 1: in that way. I always say, like, love your children
8:29
Speaker 1: more than you hate your ex husband. Great. Great. I
8:41
Speaker 1: have a question when it comes to the way and
8:44
Speaker 1: I know there was like Infidel, we've seen all that
8:46
Speaker 1: on the show, But when when you see it playing
8:48
Speaker 1: out for other people on the show and in real time,
8:52
Speaker 1: does it ever bring back those memories? Are that pain?
8:55
Speaker 1: Are you able to still keep moving on? How do
8:57
Speaker 1: you do that? It doesn't bring back pain is because
9:00
Speaker 1: I'm over right, you know, it's a it's a dead
9:02
Speaker 1: part of my life. But what it does do is
9:04
Speaker 1: say I like, I feel like I can help you
9:07
Speaker 1: with this. I have the experience of this. I can
9:10
Speaker 1: I've spoken to a lot of people through it and
9:13
Speaker 1: it's never an instigate. Oh hate them, Oh screw him?
9:17
Speaker 1: Or oh it? Is he sorry? Is he sorry? Or
9:20
Speaker 1: is she sorry? Um? Is he a good person? Is
9:23
Speaker 1: he a good father? Is he does? Like? Can you
9:26
Speaker 1: get past this? And it's gonna be hard, and it's
9:29
Speaker 1: going to be more work on your part, right because
9:31
Speaker 1: you're gonna have emotions. If so Long is gonna play,
9:34
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at them the wrong way one day
9:36
Speaker 1: and you're gonna want to fight with them and bring
9:37
Speaker 1: it up. But you have to understand might I always say,
9:41
Speaker 1: I remember those feelings, and you have to just move
9:44
Speaker 1: past it, don't act on it. Take a ride, go
9:47
Speaker 1: say a prayer, go light a candle in church. Whatever.
9:51
Speaker 1: Now that makes sense? And what do you think it
9:53
Speaker 1: is about Jersey that makes all the husband or ex
9:55
Speaker 1: husbands so close, Like it's the only show you really
9:58
Speaker 1: see this on. I love that, I know, you know what.
10:01
Speaker 1: I do love it. I love their camaraderie. It's Jersey
10:04
Speaker 1: for you, so like you know, it's like everybody's family.
10:07
Speaker 1: You don't have friends here, you have family. That's what
10:09
Speaker 1: I always say, and I think that's what makes the
10:11
Speaker 1: show so successful, is that you guys can't or you
10:13
Speaker 1: can't fight, but when you come back to it's almost
10:15
Speaker 1: like everybody's family. You come back together and it's like
10:19
Speaker 1: you talk it out. You didn't over with. Yeah, but
10:23
Speaker 1: Frank always comes out as the voice of reason. He does.
10:26
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this? He's really evolved, He's evolved. You know,
10:31
Speaker 1: he's a big mush teddy. Frank's feeling to get her
10:34
Speaker 1: very easily on the Monica. So you guys have had
10:36
Speaker 1: pretty much the same group on Jersey for four years.
10:41
Speaker 1: Do you think it could? I mean, Tiki Barber's wife
10:44
Speaker 1: came in this year. We heard that she was originally
10:47
Speaker 1: a housewife, but then it got switched. Do you think
10:50
Speaker 1: there's going to be even more of a shake up
10:51
Speaker 1: for next year? They just leave good where it is,
10:55
Speaker 1: You know as well as I do. We're the last
10:57
Speaker 1: to know, always, always, so all is the last to note.
11:01
Speaker 1: They talk about it, you know, they they don't. There's
11:05
Speaker 1: nobody solid, there's really it's hard to cast. In every franchise,
11:10
Speaker 1: it's so hard to cast. But with Jersey. I feel
11:13
Speaker 1: like they got it down. They don't need to mess
11:15
Speaker 1: with it, just leave it the way it is. I
11:17
Speaker 1: don't want I don't want to see Tiki Barber's wife.
11:20
Speaker 1: I want to see the Core girls there. That's what
11:23
Speaker 1: I want to see the girls. And you need it
11:26
Speaker 1: because how much can we destroy each other? At some
11:29
Speaker 1: point that the destroy is going to break and there's
11:31
Speaker 1: no coming back from it. Yeah, but it's got to
11:34
Speaker 1: be hard to cast in New Jersey because you've gotta
11:35
Speaker 1: have a tough girl. And I want to see a
11:37
Speaker 1: family member. I want to see your sister, your bro.
11:40
Speaker 1: I want to see somebody that it's connected. I like
11:43
Speaker 1: the family Camaradite. But the difference is is that when
11:47
Speaker 1: it comes to the original girls. I remember when Jen
11:50
Speaker 1: and Jackie first came on. I was not fans of
11:52
Speaker 1: them because I but then I started to give them
11:55
Speaker 1: a chance because you guys became even though y'all thought
11:59
Speaker 1: you felt a real connection between you guys, right, So
12:03
Speaker 1: so people grow on you, Tam, people grow on you.
12:06
Speaker 1: You know. I'd like to see Caroline come back on,
12:08
Speaker 1: But that was my next question, who do you think
12:11
Speaker 1: should come back on Caroline? Caroline would be great. She
12:14
Speaker 1: would be great and and like Teresa says, bring her back.
12:18
Speaker 1: How do you juggle the friendship between the two of them?
12:21
Speaker 1: Like between being friends with both of them. I treat
12:24
Speaker 1: them as I would treat my sister's fighting. I don't
12:27
Speaker 1: take a side. I'm a sounding board. I understand where
12:31
Speaker 1: they're both coming from. Um, you know, That's how I've
12:34
Speaker 1: always handled things. I seem to handle it pretty well.
12:38
Speaker 1: And if somebody is really a friend, they don't make
12:40
Speaker 1: you choose. And I don't like to be told what
12:43
Speaker 1: to do anyway, period, So I'm not I'm there's no
12:47
Speaker 1: lack of loyalty in my camp for being a friend
12:51
Speaker 1: with both p I can support the friend. I don't
12:53
Speaker 1: have to support the beef. And that's how I feel
12:55
Speaker 1: about it. From watching you, what I like is that
13:00
Speaker 1: you can tell that you're being a loyal friend, but
13:01
Speaker 1: you also have your own self confidence and what you
13:04
Speaker 1: feel and you can stand on that. And so I
13:07
Speaker 1: as as a viewer, I'm like, Okay, I see this.
13:10
Speaker 1: I can see her side, even if I don't always
13:12
Speaker 1: agree with everything that you may have said. I can
13:13
Speaker 1: go oh, I feel where her heart is coming from. Yeah,
13:16
Speaker 1: and she calls people out like even if you know,
13:18
Speaker 1: like Teresa is your friend, but if she's doing something
13:21
Speaker 1: you're gonna I wouldn't have done it, you know, like
13:25
Speaker 1: I said, that's not what I wouldn't have done it.
13:26
Speaker 1: But now you did it, and let's get past it.
13:30
Speaker 1: You are the voice of reason. Are you going to be? Uh?
13:34
Speaker 1: Are you bridesmaid? This is it's everywhere you're No? No,
13:38
Speaker 1: oh my god, no, she has you know. I mean,
13:43
Speaker 1: at my age, I do think I want to be
13:44
Speaker 1: a brideswaide standing up there, I am plower girl. That's
13:47
Speaker 1: what you want to be a brides maid? Never bride
13:51
Speaker 1: this one here? Hi, okay, all right, wow, okay, So
13:56
Speaker 1: how do you feel like Teresa's handling the Louie drama.
14:00
Speaker 1: I think that Theresa was very emotional understandably, so totally.
14:05
Speaker 1: It's just listen, Tamma. You know, you know Teddy, you
14:08
Speaker 1: guys know the people that come on for you, you
14:11
Speaker 1: feel very guilty when they get whether you like them
14:14
Speaker 1: or not, whether you love them or not. And it's
14:16
Speaker 1: harder when you love them so much, is you know,
14:19
Speaker 1: it's hard there aren't there for you, and then somebody
14:23
Speaker 1: says something about them like you want to die, like
14:25
Speaker 1: you're like, oh God, like you know what am I doing?
14:29
Speaker 1: Why did this have to happen? And that's when you
14:31
Speaker 1: start to hate your job, you know? Will you get defensive?
14:34
Speaker 1: I've had years where Cassip come after my husband and
14:37
Speaker 1: you you know my husband doesn't want to get involving
14:39
Speaker 1: two ships, right, so you know you want to get
14:42
Speaker 1: involved in that. And she doesn't want Louie to have
14:44
Speaker 1: to deal with that stuff, so she's But I don't
14:48
Speaker 1: hard defense mode though. If somebody came after Eddie, it's
14:51
Speaker 1: not because they saw something on the internet. I think
14:53
Speaker 1: it's hard when you enter a show and you already
14:55
Speaker 1: know that something's gonna surface. Yeah, will you start to
14:58
Speaker 1: show you also, yeah, you don't always know, right, So
15:02
Speaker 1: this happens to be what's going on here? Is it
15:04
Speaker 1: happens to be a very um, you know, an X
15:07
Speaker 1: that's very scorned X, very angry girl and I don't
15:12
Speaker 1: really know, you know whatever. But I don't who knew
15:16
Speaker 1: that this? I think this will started when he started
15:18
Speaker 1: dating Theresa, right, so I didn't I don't know that
15:20
Speaker 1: he knew that something would be like this craziness. Oh
15:23
Speaker 1: so this all leaked after she wasn't already coming for
15:28
Speaker 1: him before the show started airing. No not to not
15:33
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, Tenny, I honestly never thought the video
15:37
Speaker 1: of Louis was bad. I certainly didn't. I didn't. I thought,
15:41
Speaker 1: you know, I come from a background, like I like
15:43
Speaker 1: self help and retreats and things like that. I just
15:46
Speaker 1: felt like he was trying to better himself, you know.
15:48
Speaker 1: I I getted around and one of the things I'm like, oh,
15:51
Speaker 1: you know, it looked like a bunch of jerkos. But
15:53
Speaker 1: that's like just my lingo. I know, I just want
15:59
Speaker 1: to see them come to one of my parties. I
16:01
Speaker 1: would invite every one of those Gold guys, and I
16:03
Speaker 1: want them to talk to my ex boyfriends and terrib
16:06
Speaker 1: lifriend tell her how do you feel like? I was
16:08
Speaker 1: like making fun of them a little bit, but I
16:09
Speaker 1: thought they were great. I mean, video wasn't the problem, guys.
16:13
Speaker 1: It was how for me I wasn't. I was like
16:16
Speaker 1: fine with the video, but it was how he responded
16:18
Speaker 1: to brought up. Then I was like, why is he
16:20
Speaker 1: so ashamed of the video? Now it's making me wonder.
16:23
Speaker 1: Now I'm wanting to watch the full length video, Like
16:28
Speaker 1: before you I feel like, listen, he was just walking
16:33
Speaker 1: on the scene. This happens the day he's supposed to
16:36
Speaker 1: like film, and he was like it was like, Harden,
16:42
Speaker 1: you know, like we don't always say things right on camera,
16:45
Speaker 1: right like in the heat of the moment. Like I
16:47
Speaker 1: feel like he could explain it better without being so
16:52
Speaker 1: nervous and having everybody and cameras in his face, and like,
16:55
Speaker 1: this is a whole big thing going on, so no
16:57
Speaker 1: know that that came out of nowhere and he needs
17:02
Speaker 1: he can explain it. I think that's how I always felt. Well,
17:05
Speaker 1: I'm I'm rooting for them, I had said on a
17:07
Speaker 1: podcast earlier when he was doing all these affirmations and
17:10
Speaker 1: all these cards and the scroll and all that stuff.
17:14
Speaker 1: And I had said on a previous podcast, I said,
17:16
Speaker 1: he kind of gives me Brooke butts from Vicky. And
17:19
Speaker 1: I think it pissed Theresa off because she unfollowed me
17:22
Speaker 1: and she must be mad. Then she's mad, but just
17:25
Speaker 1: tell her, but I am actually rooting for them. I
17:29
Speaker 1: like them together. I didn't mean it in a bad way.
17:34
Speaker 1: Somebody probably she doesn't probably know who Broke is, and
17:38
Speaker 1: somebody probably told her like she she gets a lot
17:42
Speaker 1: of like, oh, go look at this clip or like
17:44
Speaker 1: and she's only seeing what somebody said. Yeah, well, I
17:48
Speaker 1: wasn't saying anything bad. I was just saying because he
17:50
Speaker 1: did a lot of affirmations which actually are really nice,
17:54
Speaker 1: and I think she took. I mean, I think guys
17:56
Speaker 1: can they're either going to be super vocal or they're
17:58
Speaker 1: gonna have to feel like they need to prep their
18:00
Speaker 1: stuff when they come on because if they're not comfortable
18:02
Speaker 1: in front of the camera yet or whatever behind the camp.
18:05
Speaker 1: You know, that's a good advice for someone like like
18:09
Speaker 1: just no, but he didn't know, Like this was nobody
18:13
Speaker 1: knew this stuff was Like how did you know this
18:15
Speaker 1: person was going to do this? You know what I mean,
18:17
Speaker 1: Like I don't expect it. Nobody does, especially your first
18:20
Speaker 1: time on reality TV. You're like, what the ship is
18:23
Speaker 1: going on here? Now? Speaking of that, what about Bill?
18:26
Speaker 1: Like Bill kind of feels like I'm trying to fill
18:28
Speaker 1: him out. It was really good to see him last night,
18:31
Speaker 1: like picking March seen You're up and dancing like it
18:34
Speaker 1: showed like he really had a heart. Like I'm trying
18:37
Speaker 1: to figure Yeah, so I'm trying to figure out because
18:41
Speaker 1: he's you know, they're going for him and stuff. Is
18:43
Speaker 1: he uncomfortable talking about that situation or is he just heartless?
18:50
Speaker 1: He's not heartless, as he's a lovely man. I worked
18:53
Speaker 1: with him. He was nothing but a gentleman. Where I
18:56
Speaker 1: worked with him, he was so kind to his patience.
18:59
Speaker 1: You know, most would do their surgeries and run out
19:01
Speaker 1: of there. You know, I'm a surgical assystem by trade.
19:04
Speaker 1: So yeah, so so um yeah, So when Frank had
19:09
Speaker 1: everything happened with Frank, I had to scramble and get
19:12
Speaker 1: a small technical degree because I had never gone to school,
19:15
Speaker 1: only finding out then that I'm dyslexic and I have
19:17
Speaker 1: all these learning disorders. Right, So I get this small
19:20
Speaker 1: technical degree and I go to work and I become
19:22
Speaker 1: a surgical as because I love classic surgery. I used
19:24
Speaker 1: to watch House. That was my big thing. I didn't
19:26
Speaker 1: know what to do with myself. And UM, I'm like, oh, well,
19:29
Speaker 1: I'll be a surgical as system. Well it was really
19:31
Speaker 1: harder than I thought. Anyway, I make it and I
19:33
Speaker 1: start working with Bill Laden. He happens to be moonlighting
19:36
Speaker 1: at the surgery center. How many years ago? Um, this
19:41
Speaker 1: was like seven to ten years ago when this had happened.
19:47
Speaker 1: Did you know? I know now I have to ask
19:50
Speaker 1: you to tell no one, No, it didn't. It was
19:53
Speaker 1: separate aside. Everyone loved. He is a good person. I
19:57
Speaker 1: think that it was mistake and it was poor judgment.
20:01
Speaker 1: I think it shouldn't define who he is because I
20:04
Speaker 1: know him as nothing but a gentleman, always speaking lovely
20:07
Speaker 1: about his wife and children, always treated everybody with respect,
20:11
Speaker 1: and treated everybody in the surgery center like an equal
20:15
Speaker 1: instead of like he was above them. I like to
20:18
Speaker 1: hear that too. I hope that this is healing for
20:21
Speaker 1: them instead of you know, like watching it back and
20:23
Speaker 1: then working through it. I hope that that they can
20:25
Speaker 1: let go and be able to work it out for
20:27
Speaker 1: their family, because you could see during those conversations with
20:30
Speaker 1: their with their daughter that it's it's hard and he's
20:33
Speaker 1: a trooper. He is a trooper for even entertaining this
20:35
Speaker 1: conversation on a national television show because most guys and
20:41
Speaker 1: he didn't have to do it. He didn't have to
20:43
Speaker 1: do the show period. No, he got money, he doesn't
20:45
Speaker 1: care like he's yeah and uh, speaking of love life,
20:50
Speaker 1: So what's going on with the new boyfeelies? Nice hollies?
20:56
Speaker 1: Nice plies that from Dublin, Ireland. He's only been here
20:59
Speaker 1: about twenty years, so it's very different than what I'm
21:01
Speaker 1: used to. Like, he's not a Jersey guy, yet we
21:05
Speaker 1: have a lot of similarities, like, you know, it's like
21:09
Speaker 1: a family. I miss that old school mentality. Although it's
21:14
Speaker 1: not easy, you know, it's not easy. But yeah, so
21:20
Speaker 1: it's been fun. It's been fun. I had met him
21:22
Speaker 1: as I broke up with David. I wasn't like, really
21:25
Speaker 1: looking to get involved with somebody so soon, but David
21:28
Speaker 1: and I had been kind of like off for a bit.
21:32
Speaker 1: So he's fun, you know, Paul's fun. I learned how
21:35
Speaker 1: to drink. I've never been drugged before. Like, so now
21:37
Speaker 1: I drink like gentleman Jack, what a big guy? What
21:41
Speaker 1: So we're gonna see are are you drinking at the reunion? No,
21:45
Speaker 1: no one did. No what heard reunion was crazy. I know,
21:49
Speaker 1: you can't tell us one thing about it, but I
21:51
Speaker 1: heard it was crazy. So reunion was like, um, the
22:04
Speaker 1: worst ever ever done. That's my seven and it was
22:12
Speaker 1: absolutely draining. It's gonna Yeah, it was a long time
22:15
Speaker 1: and a lot of fighting and I'm not you know,
22:17
Speaker 1: getting along with someone right now. Out of nowhere. I
22:20
Speaker 1: don't even know who that is. Um, it's not important.
22:24
Speaker 1: Do you think that all relationships within, even though there's fights,
22:28
Speaker 1: do you think that all of them can be mended?
22:32
Speaker 1: I do? Oh good, Okay, I do. Yeah. And did
22:38
Speaker 1: anyone cry because Jerseys they're not been criers in Jersey?
22:42
Speaker 1: No one cried. Oh see, that's good that you're good.
22:50
Speaker 1: Jersey is not big criers like they. There's no room
22:55
Speaker 1: to cry here. That is. I could cry just thinking
22:58
Speaker 1: about not crying. Teddy teddy. Um, that's funny. Jackie a
23:05
Speaker 1: little bit pride, I think not even No, Jackie didn't
23:07
Speaker 1: really know there was Jackie. I'm very proud of Jackie
23:11
Speaker 1: this season. You see, you never know what somebody's going through,
23:16
Speaker 1: you know. No, I've actually reached out to her and
23:19
Speaker 1: told her, like, I'm so proud of her. She needs
23:21
Speaker 1: to hear it. So that's really nice. Yeah, yeah, because
23:24
Speaker 1: I can. I can kind of see her struggles. And
23:27
Speaker 1: I mean, you know when certain Housewives brings stuff up
23:30
Speaker 1: just for attention our storyline, but you know, this is
23:33
Speaker 1: like true ship that's going on in her life, and
23:35
Speaker 1: this is a very visceral, very issue with her and
23:39
Speaker 1: and and it's something she's been battling for so long,
23:42
Speaker 1: and and now and she she's scared. But I mean,
23:46
Speaker 1: now she feels like she's accountable to people. She's the world.
23:51
Speaker 1: Accountability is the thing that honestly holds you, you know,
23:55
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it holds you. Accountability is the
23:59
Speaker 1: one I mean. I started via Instagram. I said, hold
24:01
Speaker 1: me account I'm changing my life today. And that's the
24:04
Speaker 1: only thing that And this was you know, way before Housewives,
24:06
Speaker 1: but this was the only thing that worked, because when
24:10
Speaker 1: you're not being held accountable, you're only accountable to yourself,
24:13
Speaker 1: and then you lie to yourself. So I mean, but
24:19
Speaker 1: on a lighter note, we do have to ask, in
24:22
Speaker 1: a perfect world, do you think that Gia and little
24:27
Speaker 1: Frank should end up together? Um? I mean of course
24:31
Speaker 1: I would love for I love like the you know,
24:34
Speaker 1: the she's called me the other day and we spoke
24:37
Speaker 1: on the phone. Actually I love her. What will they
24:39
Speaker 1: wind up together? You just I don't know what I'd
24:42
Speaker 1: be happy sure, of course. I mean I know how
24:44
Speaker 1: she was raised, I know what kind of girl she is.
24:46
Speaker 1: I know she's got those old school Italian ways, like
24:49
Speaker 1: for the prom she made sure. My mother came in
24:51
Speaker 1: and sat down and made sure my mother had water
24:54
Speaker 1: and something. I mean, it's her prom and this is
24:56
Speaker 1: what she's doing with my mother. I mean, you know
24:58
Speaker 1: this is the thing. But do you ever talk to
25:00
Speaker 1: her dad? I don't. I mean I would take Instagram
25:04
Speaker 1: like I have, like commented on this stuff or anything. Yeah,
25:07
Speaker 1: but no, no to talk on the phone. Now. It
25:09
Speaker 1: would be so nice to see him. We don't get
25:11
Speaker 1: to see him this season. I would imagine Joe. Yeah,
25:17
Speaker 1: I would love to see him on American soil again.
25:21
Speaker 1: We could go, you guys can go over there. It
25:23
Speaker 1: was COVID. Yeah, like we listen, it's Jersey. We're not
25:28
Speaker 1: flying flying private places, different trips. Whether they know where
25:33
Speaker 1: they could get away with it? Right, it sounds like
25:37
Speaker 1: a good girl's trip. How's your mom go to the
25:39
Speaker 1: Jersey shore? She's good thanks to Tama. Listen. You know
25:43
Speaker 1: we didn't grow up um in a house where like
25:46
Speaker 1: I see how you are a nice your your your
25:49
Speaker 1: Finnish and your diet and Teddy is amazing with her kids,
25:52
Speaker 1: and I see them meeting their carrots and all that stuff,
25:55
Speaker 1: and I just that your children don't understand how lucky
25:59
Speaker 1: they are to have that in their lives because in
26:01
Speaker 1: Teddy As you know, like it's so important. It's a lifestyle, right,
26:05
Speaker 1: So we we grew up on like either cookies for
26:09
Speaker 1: breakfast or nothing, and it was just a different time.
26:13
Speaker 1: And I struggle with it now. My kids do not.
26:16
Speaker 1: My daughter's a vegan, she's gained some weights bothering her terribly.
26:21
Speaker 1: Is it's I don't think that. I think it's her
26:25
Speaker 1: workload and first off, and um, you know she's a
26:29
Speaker 1: veterinarian now, so she's working like crazy hours. And my
26:33
Speaker 1: son is just so strict with his diety. He's been
26:36
Speaker 1: his whole life. So they're they're okay. I certainly am not.
26:41
Speaker 1: Like I I had McDonald's the other night after watch
26:44
Speaker 1: What Happens Live, and I drove four towns to get it.
26:47
Speaker 1: MS your favorite fast food of them all, I have,
26:50
Speaker 1: not having gone in twenty years. Tamra gets really upset
26:54
Speaker 1: when I my love for Taco bell. I can't. I'm
26:57
Speaker 1: super strict, so I don't eat fast hammer like I know.
27:01
Speaker 1: I don't. And I haven't had soda in twenty years,
27:03
Speaker 1: like I won't. I've never my kids have never had soda.
27:07
Speaker 1: That's how bad I love it. These are the diet
27:13
Speaker 1: Dr Pepper here. I have to really I had myself
27:16
Speaker 1: an intervention from it. Maybe I was filming something stressful
27:20
Speaker 1: if I was like, can I have a diet doctor Pepper? Please? Yeah?
27:24
Speaker 1: This hurts my heart, I know. Another another big question
27:30
Speaker 1: is did you ever hook up even just a little kiss,
27:34
Speaker 1: peck anything? Why is this coming up? Because Margaret is
27:39
Speaker 1: an asshole about this? Okay, I yelled at her for this.
27:41
Speaker 1: She was kidding around and she said something about and
27:45
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't talk about anybody's thing like that.
27:48
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Margaret, you and I never had that conversation.
27:52
Speaker 1: I'm looking with somebody else or you how to dream
27:54
Speaker 1: about it? I never talked about She was like, no,
27:56
Speaker 1: you said short guys this or that. I've never been
27:58
Speaker 1: a short guy. I don't really, you know, Joe Corder
28:01
Speaker 1: is like a little brother to me. So it's so
28:02
Speaker 1: disgusting that like people are like stuff. You know, you
28:05
Speaker 1: never know what people will stick on, right, So Margaret
28:09
Speaker 1: was kind of like kidding about it, and I knew
28:12
Speaker 1: right away. I was like, whoa, Margaret, that's not like,
28:15
Speaker 1: don't even care round about that? And it's probably the
28:20
Speaker 1: most mad I ever got it her. Well, yeah, because
28:24
Speaker 1: you know how how she he is literally like a
28:30
Speaker 1: little brother to me. I've known him since he's a
28:32
Speaker 1: little kid, you know, Teresa and I have been for instance,
28:34
Speaker 1: her sixteen Joe. Joe and my sister used to work
28:38
Speaker 1: at the Rascal House together flipping hampers. I mean like,
28:41
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's a little boy. He's not a
28:43
Speaker 1: little boys and man, he is to me my like
28:47
Speaker 1: a little brother. So no, So that is that a
28:50
Speaker 1: hard no? Hard no, it's I'm pretty sure she's like,
28:55
Speaker 1: that's a hard no. I think she's also made a
28:57
Speaker 1: clear don't you need not apply if you're not all wow?
29:03
Speaker 1: I mean I never thought about it, really, just never
29:06
Speaker 1: was in line from I'm not I'm not. Yeah, I'm
29:11
Speaker 1: more unto short guys, I guess, I mean not sure.
29:13
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I've ever had a tall,
29:16
Speaker 1: like a super tall boyfriend. I'm only five three, so
29:20
Speaker 1: me too, timer, But I can tell you when a
29:22
Speaker 1: man is confident and he's strong and he's smart, and
29:26
Speaker 1: he's everything he could and he stands tall. So that's
29:30
Speaker 1: how I feel about that. Yeah, I mean, or there's
29:33
Speaker 1: or there's my husband. This is the best story. So
29:36
Speaker 1: my husband's like, yeah, I asked him what I said,
29:38
Speaker 1: how taller? You always would say like whatever, it was
29:40
Speaker 1: five ten five ten. And then the first time I
29:42
Speaker 1: brought him home to meet my dad, and at that point,
29:44
Speaker 1: my dad was married to this, you know, Glamazon supermodel
29:47
Speaker 1: who was obviously taller than five ten um, and they
29:52
Speaker 1: asked him how tall he was. You've never seen somebody
29:54
Speaker 1: change their tune fast in his life. He's like five
29:56
Speaker 1: five eight and a half five never. I'm not quite
30:00
Speaker 1: sure that what happened to that. It's like when I
30:04
Speaker 1: say on my license that I'm five five sure. How
30:10
Speaker 1: do you think Teddy and I would hold up if
30:14
Speaker 1: we were filming? Oh gosh, I think you guys would
30:18
Speaker 1: hold up fine until it got super violent. Oh I
30:24
Speaker 1: can handle violence. I don't know that I can handle violence.
30:27
Speaker 1: I think I honestly think I would cry No if
30:30
Speaker 1: you're not you you know, if you're not used to
30:32
Speaker 1: it gets really he did in that moment. People that
30:36
Speaker 1: walk on have walked on and said I can handle this.
30:39
Speaker 1: They don't. I would words. I would love the chance,
30:45
Speaker 1: I would. I would love to watch it. Girls, trip. Yeah,
30:48
Speaker 1: oh would you join? Of course who would say no that?
30:52
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know Dolaura's let's go on girls trip together?
30:56
Speaker 1: There you okay, but Tam already did it. But nope,
31:00
Speaker 1: me from Jersey was on that season. No, I think
31:02
Speaker 1: they were filming. Ah. No. I grew up in a tough,
31:07
Speaker 1: tough family. Like for me, like a compliment would be like, hey,
31:12
Speaker 1: you're asked. Isn't looked up big today? Like that's the
31:14
Speaker 1: kind of family I grew up in. So so I
31:17
Speaker 1: got thick skin. So I don't people always think that
31:21
Speaker 1: I'm from New York because I just mainly don't know.
31:24
Speaker 1: I could see that, I could definitely see that. But
31:26
Speaker 1: like I said, it's like, have I ever gotten nervous
31:29
Speaker 1: in that moment? No, I have never gotten nervous. Have
31:33
Speaker 1: I gotten stressed over behind the scenes stuff that they
31:37
Speaker 1: carry over, the carry over of the emotions and and yeah,
31:42
Speaker 1: then I get like that that gets to be a
31:44
Speaker 1: lot for me. And then we have one more kind
31:47
Speaker 1: of downer question and then we'll we'll we'll end on high.
31:51
Speaker 1: But it's speculated that you were not at Teresa's engagement
31:56
Speaker 1: party because there's only pictures of Melissa and Jen would
32:00
Speaker 1: like to confirm or deny. Yeah, No, I wasn't. I
32:02
Speaker 1: wasn't invited, not for any reason. Um, but they said
32:07
Speaker 1: that they only kind of invited people that they went
32:10
Speaker 1: out together as couples. There may be another reason behind it. However,
32:15
Speaker 1: what I can tell you is it was not because
32:17
Speaker 1: of Teresa and I weren't getting along or anything. It
32:21
Speaker 1: was Louie really didn't know me as a couple because
32:23
Speaker 1: I didn't mingle with them as a boyfriend girlfriend. You know,
32:27
Speaker 1: I had not gotten to known Louis yet, and I
32:29
Speaker 1: think Louis wanted just people, and it was intimate and
32:31
Speaker 1: just people. They did, like I said, things together as couples,
32:34
Speaker 1: which I had never done because I was just getting
32:36
Speaker 1: to know my boyfriend. And just you don't want Teddy.
32:39
Speaker 1: This is how I feel about that. I just say, Therese,
32:43
Speaker 1: I'm still happy for you, and um, it's not about me,
32:48
Speaker 1: and it's not about that I had answered to that,
32:50
Speaker 1: and it's not about the people that called me and
32:52
Speaker 1: said you should have been invited, and and it's not
32:54
