Start as you mean to go on with Costa Express. Two teas in a pod with Teddy Melanchem and Tamara Judge. Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of two teas in a pod with myself, Tamara, Judge and Dolores, who is going to film and look beautiful as ever. Thank you. Yeah, I'm so excited. I love how the roles have been reversed now. It was always like, Oh, God, I got to go. So we are going to go over the Valley Season three episode seven. This episode begins with Jesse talking while Lacey isn't paying attention to a single thing he's saying. If you notice is one thing that annoyed me. She was texting almost the entire episode. Lacey, she was on her phone texting, texting, texting, texting. I did not notice that actually. It's like, I mean, doing any job. I can't stand when I go get my nails done. And the girl's texting. If I went to the gym, I was working out when I was working at Burger King. Do you think that I could just get on my phone and just start? Oh, when you were on the phone, didn't even exist. They did it. They did it. Oh, God, how sad. So at dinner, Michelle sees she's sitting across from Lacey and she's like, hell to the know I am not going to sit across from this cross from this bitch. So Janet moves some shell can move, you know, closer. You know, Lacey and Michelle, they can't stand each other. It is not that is that's a relationship that's never going to work. No. And I mean, is Jesse and Lacey still together? Yeah, I was shocked because Lacey kind of and we're trying to get Lacey on the podcast. She kind of acts like she does not like him very much. She's not liking him very much. Then why is she with them? They are together a long time. Listen, what you see on camera always, it doesn't. He seems he seems like she's into her. He's into her, but I feel like she's got a little bit of better morals than he does. Well, I think she's good for him. You know what I mean? She's more mature for him than he is. That's for sure. Well, I think that she says, you know, I saw her saying to him, say, you're sorry about that. And I think he's crazy for her. Oh, I do too. Yeah. I think he's he's totally in love with her. I think that, you know, she's just trying to help him because he just doesn't do things the right way. It's like, say you're sorry, you have to go say you're sorry. No, I'm not doing it. He's like a child. Yeah. Yeah. So and then Lacey, she doesn't like Janet. She thinks Janet is sneaky and mean. And at this point, Janet can't seem to win anybody over. And somehow this needs to change. Listen, Janet's done her job. Janet is a damn good reality star. So I we all know what we signed up for. And and Janet was very much needed here. I like Jen. I like her too. And it's very nice when I see her saw Janet at the I Heart event. She came up to me. Yeah. Couldn't be any nicer. We hung out by the pool. So listen, Janet's doing her job. You can't hate someone for doing their job. No. And I love her. I love her husband, too. He just seems like such a solid guy. I know I can understand why they feel the way they do about her. Not going to take that away from the other people whose bull. She's bussed all the time. But I have to say she handles herself well. Yeah. And then Kristen's still struggling postpartum. She doesn't like her body. She doesn't like anything. She's like her husband. She's taking out on Luke. I hope they hang in there. I hope they make it through this. Is there anything she can? What do they do for postpartum? I didn't have it. So is there some type of medication they can give you? This girl needs help. I feel terrible for her. Yeah. Where was the baby? The baby wasn't there, right? No, the baby wasn't there. I'm surprised they didn't bring her. It was their first time leaving the baby. Yeah. They need to get out together. They need to have a good time. I mean, I brought her baby and a babysitter. I don't know. I feel personally, it's really hard to leave a three month old home. And I know Kristen, especially your first one, I wouldn't leave my like Sydney when I had Sydney. I could not leave her alone for anything. I couldn't even take her to the gym and put her in daycare. I would get nervous. So I get where she's coming from, especially this being her very first child, being away from... And all the hormones. All the hormones. She's not comfortable in her body. Crucial time. You know, everyone's around crowding. Kristen asking her if she's okay. And at that point, she's like, everybody get the f*** away from me. Luke, I feel bad for Luke. I do. I do. It's hard for him. And he's such a sweet guy. He really is. Yeah. I think they're going to be okay. I really do. I hope they are. And Kristen's like, I don't feel great. And she's bleeding. And she says she's wearing like adult diapers. And Luke is like, I can't be in your body. Oh, my God. It's just a bad time. Yeah. And they'll get through it. But it... I hope they do. I really hope they do. By three months, she should be turning a corner now. And I don't think she is. So I think she definitely needs help. She... Yeah, she needs help. Now, Danny's drunk. Shocker. He's slurring. And Lala is watching him like a hawk. It's... I feel like Lala, first of all, she's sober. Yeah. And she's getting nervous around him. He's made... I feel like he's making her not nervous, but I don't... I'm not comfortable around people who drink because people that drank when I was growing up, it turned out violent. Yeah. So I don't drink. And for that reason, I feel like maybe, but I get nervous. I get like a pit in my stomach. And I've never been around happy drunk. And if I was, they were annoying to me. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing more annoying than a drunk person when you're sober. I don't want to be a reformed whore. Not that I'm reformed from drinking, but I don't want to be that person that's judging, you know? Like, I want you to have a good time. I want you to drink. I don't want to be around it. Well, Danny's drinking has been a topic of conversation since the show started. Danny's not a good drunk. And a lot of people are saying that he is... He does some questionable things. Let's just leave it at that. And at that point, like, do you just not drink? Like, wouldn't it be wise for him to say, you know what, don't drink? I think that also Nia tries to stop him in a very subtle way because then there's, I'm just having fun. Why do you want to take that from me? You're boring. I need my outlet. I should be able to have a good time. And I know the whole rhetoric that comes with her trying to tell him not to drink when he is. Yeah. So, you know, I really think that... He probably just shouldn't, but he wants to. And how do you take that from someone who doesn't really think they have a problem and does he really have a problem? There's just so much... Well, if you're in the pantry, if you're in the pantry downing alcohol without you didn't want people to see, you got a problem. You got a problem. Now, this next thing, now, Jesse and Lacey stay back to chat with Janet and Jason. Lacey accused Janet of doing a deep dive on Reddit. Is that a deep dive Reddit? Like, isn't that just public information? I think that if you just Google someone's name, it's a dig. Well, I mean, if you have somebody on the cast, we all do it. We all, like, if somebody's new, like, not necessarily like, let's go into their back, like, whatever's out there. On Google. Right. Mostly it's social media. Yeah. Like, go on social media, look, whatever. So, Lacey accuses Janet of doing a deep dive on Reddit and asked Lacey about her multiple additions for RHOC. Now, I heard that she did try out one time. I didn't hear multiple times. And that was it. I didn't hear anything more than that. So, and even if she did try out, like, what's the, what's wrong with that? I don't see anything wrong with it. Right. Do you? No. I mean, she tried out, she didn't make it. So, are they insinuating she tried out, didn't make it? So, now that's why she's dating, like, Jesse, is she wants to be on Rally TV? Because... But she said in the scene, she said, no, I didn't. Didn't she? And then she said yes in her confessional. I think she tried it out once from what I've heard. All right, so what? It didn't make it very far. And that was that. I think she was also married at the time and the marriage didn't work out and, oh, whatever. But she also had said that David Hasselhoff blocked her on Instagram. Why is that? Okay, so I don't know if you remember this. And she thinks his new wife did too. And his new wife did too. So there was information on the show last year about her dating somebody from Baywatch. And it wasn't David Hasselhoff. I don't know why they blocked her. I think potentially it was because David was getting, like hounded or people were writing stuff on his social media. I don't know. So Lacey didn't want Jesse fighting her battles. Do you understand that or was it just him trying to help? He was just trying to help. Yeah. I think he was just trying to, I don't think he should have gotten in trouble by her for what he did. To be honest, he was just supporting her, but who knows? I think Lacey... No, I think Lacey didn't want him trying to fight her battles because everything he says is bad. Like her way of... It's the way he does it. I think she leads a little bit more with respect. Like she doesn't want to fight with people. She wants to make things better. Yeah. Hi, I'm on my way. Great, I'll get there and start it. There's no feeling quite like getting home to your favorite meals and your favorite people. Smells good.

Hotpoint, the UK's most trusted major domestic appliance brand. For more information, visit hotpoint.co.uk slash TrustPilot. So they're back at the house and due to Brittany, Lacey and Michelle start arguing. Michelle confirms that she was the only one to receive a cease and defist from Lacey. Now, first of all, if you remember, there was a lot of talk about Lacey on the show and she would not go on the show last year. So she sent a legal letter, I always call them the shut up letter, and they're upset about it. Now, well, okay, Lacey pulls up text messages from Michelle criticizing her appearance. This is what Michelle said to Jessie. Look at all the crap you've said about me, yet you've already introduced her to your fake OC girl. I don't approve of a girl who looks like that to be Isabella's stepmom. I hope that you end up with somebody, I hope you don't end up with somebody like that for Isabella's sake. So she basically, she didn't really say anything horrible about her look. She just said like she had plastic surgery. She didn't, I mean, she should watch Atlanta if she wants to know what people say about their looks. But then, she should have never seen that text. Like Jessie shouldn't have showed her. I know he's upset and they're fighting. She did, she did. She's like, you know, he shouldn't, she is very logical, the Lacey. I really do think that. Lacey's logical until she brings up something that could really take down Michelle when she said you pushed him through the window. Right. Where did that even come from? Okay, so having saying that on TV is a big problem. She could get in trouble for it. She could have charges pressed against her for that. And he turns around and he goes, well, you did. And she's like, that's not what happened and blah, blah, blah, all these things. Well, it sounds like they got into some physical altercation. That's what it sounds like. And so there's two very different stories. He said he was helping her on a commercial deal and because he was helping her, he wanted money from it. Ew, that gives me the ick. Just help your wife. Why do you need money from it? And you're married at the time. So doesn't it all go into one pot? Yeah. I don't know, but Michelle begs Jesse for a divorce. Jesse calls her performative. Why doesn't he sign the divorce papers? Just sign them. You don't want to be with her. You have a girlfriend. They haven't said, oh, well, there's a hold up. He hasn't had any kind of logical reason for not signing it. Like, oh, well, you know what? We're fighting over money or we're fighting over, like, what's the problem? It's a problem. It's a problem, but Lala jumps in. So twice in this episode, Lala jumps in on something. Yeah. Because she was like, oh, we're not gonna go here right now. She covered it anyway. It gets dropped, but it could be a problem. All the girls run off and start to be like, you know, what is she doing? Why'd she start with you? Well, I don't know what Lacey's trying to do here by bringing up, you said this to me, you said that to me. It's kind of like- Brittany was the one that brought up the past. It got the conversation started. Brittany said, I think you guys need to talk. And then she runs off and she was texting on her phone. Yeah. So it was funny because Jesse's like, was it Jesse that said Brittany likes to do that? She starts a fire and then she walks away. Walks away. Yeah. Well, the next morning, Schwartz tells Lala that he had a wild sex dream about her last night, but Lala can only picture him being vanilla, saying he won't be slapping ass or choking out. I'm like, I don't want to be choked. I don't ever want to be choked. Well, she's just kind of saying like, Schwartz is like not that, like how wild, she goes, did you shit on my chest? I mean, there's a lot of things you could have said. Lala. She saw those fond glasses. And he still has his socks on. And he probably has his socks on. Yeah. So I mean, you know what Schwartz? Schwartz, Tom, I saw you the other day. You're such a sweetheart. So in love with your girlfriend. How? He was with his girlfriend? Sometimes there's that, he's, no, wasn't with her, but he's in absolute love of her. And he's like, so happy, looks great. I'm just going to just give you a little advice. You probably shouldn't tell everybody everything. Like he's just like it. He's, I just love him so much. And this is what change is. He's different from everybody else. The other guys in the house, they're like, did you wake up with a boner? He's like, I'm not talking about that. If he's that age and not waking up with a boner, then there's probably an issue anyway. But just the fact that he doesn't want to talk about it. Yeah. But the fact that he didn't want to talk about it. Now, if that was to anybody else, they'd be like, yeah, I got a bigger bird. You know what I mean? I know, I know. Yeah. Okay. Then Kristen and Luke finally have a productive conversation. It was so nice to see Kristen recognize a behavior, apologize for it. They're having fun. They're touching. He was so happy. They were having a moment. That's why like this scene really solidified how badly I want them to say it together. I know, I know. I think they will. I think she just is just in such a funk. And you know, I've seen her on social media. She's getting her groove back. Sure. She's getting her body back. She's, you know, she'll she'll get on the other side of it, I'm sure. Yeah. So they decided to go on a safari in San Diego. Now, I live like an hour away from San Diego. I've never done that. That whole safari situation. I thought that was closed down. Guess I was wrong. So Danny and Nia are not in a good place now that they have the baton. The baby doesn't belong there. No. The baby doesn't belong there. I'm sorry. Well, here's the thing. Then if you can't go, if you if you have to bring your baby, then stay home. But she has a babysitter with her. Well, I don't understand that. So there's no bottles involved. You can't pump and put a bottle. I didn't brush. She said in earlier conversations that or earlier episode that the baby won't take a bottle. Now I breastfed all my kids for a year plus and they would not take a bottle. So I get that. Then stay off. Then do not go. Stay home. Then don't go on the safari ride. It's getting to a point where I don't want to see babies and I don't want to see breastfeeding. That's all I feel like we're seeing. The baby's too hot on the ride. You're complaining. There's no way to cool her off. Then you should not have gone. Well, OK. Do you think she's like a little bit overreacting or a little bit protective? Well, then don't go on. Really? The ride. Then stay off of it if you are that protective and it's going to be too hot on there and you have to nurse her. Then do not go. It's that simple. Let's move on from this. Danny is a complete jerk, Tania, on the safari ride when she asked him to find something to fend the baby. He just, he does realize that's his child too, right? Well, I don't think so. I never depended on a man for anything. Thank God, right? So I'm just going to say till this day. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It was if it was that hot out, just stay home. Let the guys go. Let everyone go. Let the girl, everyone but you and just stay home. That's it. So Michelle pulls Lacey aside and has a conversation and they seem to come to a mutual understanding. And that's because I feel like Michelle and Lacey can be adults when Jesse's not around. And I do appreciate that Lacey keeps Jesse in check and isn't afraid to call him out. And she's told him over and over, you need to apologize. You're giving me the ick. He's like, I'll do it in my time. First of all, she told him once. She told him twice. She's not his mother. Yeah. If he doesn't want to do it, he's not going to do it. You can't force him. Except that this is something he did. You're not going to change him. So what are you doing here, Lacey? You got to think about what you're doing. Yeah. Yeah. I'm wondering if they're going to make it. They just seem so different. So Nia announces the male pageant. She won't say the word drag queen. We're not dressing up. She doesn't say the word drag. She's saying male pageant. So after the safari, they're going to go back to the house and they're going to dress the guys up as. And I would say drag, but in a male pageant. Zach has giant fake boobs. They're so big and he's you know, he's joking. He's like, now I know why you want these things gone. And it's so funny that they actually had to blur out the nipple of the fake prosthetic titties. Zach's so cool. I love Zach. I think he's a great friend. I do. So they're all getting ready. And now, you know, Danny's getting mouthy, he's drinking and here comes Lala from the other room saying you can't talk to her like that. Now, there's always that risk when you get involved in a couple's argument that that they are going to that it's going to cause the fight to get worse. Right. There's a lot of times that I don't, you know, wouldn't get involved. I don't like getting involved in other people's arguments. I don't like getting involved in a couple's. Yeah. I've gotten in an argument with my own person that I'm with because he gets like says something that's not my thing. That's not. And you know, Lala did come in. I know Lala has been in an abusive relationship that there are some things that do trigger her. And Danny, like he's getting mad because he doesn't like the dress that she got him. Well, what is because he's nasty. And he's drunk. And what are you doing with my makeup? Like, oh, my God, I'm like, seriously, seriously. He's nasty and he's drunk and. And he's like, if this is a magic Mike competition, it'd be over in two seconds. He's just very cocky. So Nia puts the baby down because apparently Danny helping with the baby is completely out of the question. You know, he's just he's he's frustrating. He he is frustrating. And he is a little bit. Oh, he anyway, I'm not mad at Lala for walking in there and doing that. But it did escalate something else. And between him and her and, you know, we'll see what happens next week because it got out of hand. I think it got out of hand. And Lala is not the one to go back at. Did somebody say if this is how you speak to her on camera? I can imagine Lala that said that. Lala said that. Yeah, she did say that. I mean, Lala actually starts crying about it. He mocks Lala, calling her drag persona mistriggered. And she finally just lose it on him. He tries to play the victim. You know what really annoyed me is when Nia did her confessional saying she feels two ways about Lala stepping in. A, it's none of your business. B, I'm not crazy. I'm glad she sees what I'm feeling. So she shouldn't have said. Don't step in. Don't step in. She said that. And you know what? I agree. You know what, Nia? Take the bull by the horns and tell him he can't drink anymore. You're on TV. You need this job. Things are going to get bad. If you don't want people thinking that he doesn't treat you nicely, then tell him he can't drink on camera. And then if he doesn't stop, then that's a problem. Or how about tell me can't drink at all? Don't drink at all. I agree. I'm not a drinker. I don't want to be like a judgmental person. But I even see me even sees him set not being a great person who can handle his liquor. So I think that this is now the second season where I think Nia needs to get a handle on this. Think about this because your kids are going to get a little older and they're going to see this behavior. You really need to think about it. And the behavior we see, is it the worst I've ever seen? No, but I cannot use what I've seen in my life as a gauge. Yeah, but what we're seeing on TV is bad. I can't imagine what we're not seeing. Well, if it's bad, right? If you think it's bad, you have kids. Yeah. You know, Nia spends every season trying to control his drinking on camera. And it's not any different from when I started seeing it. Yeah, I think it's going to get worse. I think that there's potential for that this to get worse. But there's tried to their friends have tried to intervene there. Everybody has Lala ready to fistfight him over. Lala is not going to let this go. Like she's going to call him out if she if he's treating his wife like shit. Yeah, so anyway, all right. All right. Well, I know you got to get off. I do. I got to have so much fun. Raise hell. Do all the things. Do the thing. I'm going to do my thing, girl. OK, all right. I've been unpacked since my vacation. Don't mind my mess in the back. Thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of Two Tees and a Pod. This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
