The Viall Files - E193 Housewife & Pony Tail Lover Teddi Mellencamp

Episode Date: November 4, 2020

On todays episode of The Viall Files we are joined by Teddi Mellencamp. You know her from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and as the daughter of legendary artist John Cougar Mellencamp. We learn about how she started taking accountability for herself and how that journey to self love enabled her and gave her the tools to become a better partner and mother. Teddi shares with us the story of how she met her husband and gives all of us a little hope that maybe we shouldn’t automatically dismiss that one night stand from the club, because he could end up being Mr. Right. The Bachelor Super fan in Teddi came to play as we mix up housewives gossip and self reflection with reality checks.  “ It’s totally different when you can drink on a reality show, and when you can’t drink on a reality show.“ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [e-mail] to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Theragun: http:///www.theragun.com/VIALL to get your Gen 4 Theragun today.

We're here to just shoot the shit, have some fun. You aren't on The Real Housewives anymore, as you just mentioned. And your son took it poorly. My son took it the worst.

My daughter was thrilled because she's like, that took up so much time, Mom, and it made you really stressed. And I was like, yeah. How old were your kids when you went on the show so I did it for three years so you know three and five and you know I wasn't pregnant when I first started so now I had you know last season I was pregnant the entire time so it's totally different when you can drink on a reality show and when you can't drink on a reality show in my opinion which is better well i was well yeah

i mean i guess all that matters this perspective right well for the audience i they liked it when i was drinking for um myself i felt better not drinking you know because i didn't have those mornings where you woke up and you're like oh my god what did i just say on national television yeah what did i just you know you'd get into it girl i i mean there was one night where kyle was like ripping me away from chips i was like i was like oh god so it was good it was a blessing and i came out unscathed that's good why so when you guys i'm always being curious and i've watched a little bit of Housewives, not as much as the general audience, but do you go in with a bone to pick or do these disagreements happen naturally?

The way I kind of say, have always kind of said it, is like when you're on a show like Housewives, anything that you're thinking, you have to actually say out loud. Yeah. Because the camera's going to catch whatever you're doing. Like if you make a face at somebody, then you kind of have the option. Am I Because, yeah, the camera's going to catch whatever you're doing. Like, if you make a face

at somebody, then you kind of have the option. Am I going to say it behind somebody's back or am I going to say it to their face? And I always chose to their face, which maybe wasn't always

the best approach, but it's like the only way I could live with myself. But that's why you're cool. Thank you. But I mean, that's why... So other housewives don't do that as much?

So something becomes more of a story if they talk about it to somebody else and then somebody else and then somebody else and then it all comes full circle to the main person. So I always chose, I'm going to talk to the person first and then it hopefully would cut the story,

but it didn't actually do that. Or people talk crap in their confessionals. Oh yeah, that's the worst. You know, same with The Bachelor when all the people are talking crap about each other in their private interviews. Oh, yeah. That's the worst. You know, same with The Bachelor when, like, all the people are talking crap about each other in their, like, private interviews. No, I get that. But then you guys find out about it.

But, and then you're still doing confessionals. That's where it's hard. Like, we're still watching back confessionals when, like, the show's airing and we're still doing our confessionals. So then all of a sudden you're mad again. And you're like, I thought we were over that. But then she's talking about me behind my back. Okay, now I'm pissed again.

Yeah. So it's. It's real life. Yeah. It's real life. It's, you know, fun thought we were over that. But then she's talking about me behind my back. Okay, now I'm pissed again. Yeah. So it's real life. Yeah. It's real life. It's, you know, fun times. Also entertaining. I know so much shit the girls from Bachelor Nation say to each other, to me behind each other's backs.

It's so great. Can you tell me who your favorite person from Bachelor Nation is? Well, I mean, I guess some of my closest friends, right? Yeah. Are you talking about like as a fan, as a viewer? As a viewer. Well, I mean, I appreciate the drama and I've been on the show enough that,

and I've gotten to know the producers enough and I appreciate what they do, and I understand it. And I think I was in it long enough to appreciate the long game, right? So often, especially early on, early in a season, you go on, and then you're always very sensitive about you're you're also afraid and then you go on and like i say episode two there's a moment where twitter teases you and you don't think you look like your best self and then you watch and you go well that's

not how it really happened etc etc and then the average contestant calls up a producer that they're closest with and yells at them and bitches about them and they're just like listen it's gonna be fine a like you know you know after this commercial break there's something else people will focus on etc also there's the the long game of like the the story arc and understanding that and things like that and sometimes this happens so like people can appreciate that later. And I've just come to learn to appreciate that more. So now when I watch it, I look at it differently. But I mean, listen, I think. That being said, is there a person that you love?

That being said, you're being a little dodgy about the question. Well. Are you more of a fan of somebody who gets a villain edit or a good guy or girl edit? Well, villain villains different. Now, I guess the villain in a sense. One, I've been on that short end of the stick, right? And in Bachelor World, I don't know how it is in Real Housewives. I've been one too.

All it really is in Bachelor World is not always. Sometimes the villains are just kind of shitty people. That happens. I've never met Luke Parker in person, but I know enough of people who have whose opinions I trust. And then it's like, not a great guy. Right. I don't, you know, maybe he's not like a criminal, but like he's not necessarily. Sometimes people are vilified and they're like, and the producers are like, I fucking love them.

But again, keep in mind vilified, as we know like it's it's a bad term because it's it's not like villain like actual bad person it's just like someone who like doesn't want to wait their turn to talk to someone they want to pursue romantically you know like in the grand scheme of things it's kind of a normal thing so sometimes the people who are vilified are just people who and i hate to use this cliche as the most real or honest or like the less least worried about like how they're going to perceive that is their most in the moment in that world but the show has evolved where people like corinne from my season or i guess you could even argue me or demi from colton season that like people at first early on

would be like villain oh i don't like her him they're like abrasive and then the way i don't know if it's because you know the people are watching it differently or or it's being aired differently people are learning to be like you know what i love that person like good for them and you know because it's just it gets a little stale the oh i'm just and people always like the vanilla, grateful, just quiet and generally good looking people. Right.

But people say they like one thing and then they can easily turn. But I think that that's the best part about reality TV is you're going to change your opinion either from week to week or season to season. And like that, that's just part of being on reality television. Yeah. Yeah. And we're all going to make mistakes it's impossible to think wow you were a villain well i was depends on the season it

depended on the that's how housewives is as you say very fluid very there are no real villains and heroes it's just what episode it is and it's also what's like my first season they showed a lot of my personal life like a lot of my kids a lot of me with my husband, me riding horses like they showed like a very well-rounded person. And so people loved me my first season. People were like, yes, she's our, you know, our kind of girl. She's laid back. She's chill, whatever. And then it started shifting a little bit and you started only kind of seeing me in drama situations.

So it's not that I changed. It's just you're seeing a different portion. And then all of a sudden people are like, we don't like her anymore. She is, you know. But then you still have the same people like, that are saying, thank you for being honest. Thank you for always being transparent.

We appreciate that in you because that's who I am. But, you know. People project their own insecurities when they watch the show. You know, as a person, like, you know, you said like that, it is. But, you know. People project their own insecurities when they watch the show. You know, as a person, like, you know, you said, like, it is the same, you know. They oversimplify

so people can digest it and watch it. It's, like, easier to watch if it's just simple because we like to check out. And then we like to criticize and judge forgetting that, like, five minutes ago we were talking about someone or doing something or lied or and it's just like wow you know for all the good loving christians

who watch reality tv and the bachelor and and they've heard the saying you know who have cast you know cast the first time we so often forget about that when we wait twitter fingers yeah you know twitter finger it's just when they're just wild they're just going at it uh keyboard warrior yeah things like that um and so so now you're off the show what like from your point of view what's the reason why you're you are not on the show i think you know this last season because it was so heavy in one direction like we were having the same issue and it was really hard for us to work through it even in the reunion and i think because we didn't see any other portions of my life it was very hard to relate to the situation you know relate, relate to who I was. And I think that that's what

ended up happening. And you know what? I, there was a part where of course it feels like a rejection at first when they say like, okay, we're not renewing your contract. You're like, wow. Like that stung. I, you know, three weeks ago I thought all of us cool, you know, whatever. But then I, you know, my husband and I had a conversation where like in the big scheme of things, I came out unscathed. We're still married. We're happy. We have kids.

Sounds like a win in that world. Yeah, you know. Most of the housewives aren't even married. Yeah, and, like, we just moved into a brand new house that we love. Like, we had a really hard 2020. And, like, my daughter, my baby daughter had to have neurosurgery. My other daughter amputated a portion of her finger i mean it was it has been an insane year when i was in the hospital with my daughter getting neurosurgery

my son fell off his bike and broke his thumb like it was unbelievably hard so i think that like maybe it was like me being watched out for like maybe you're not really in a position to go fight with women this year yeah like it's been a lot. Yeah. I bet you guys are stressed the fuck out right now. Yeah. That's a safe bet. Use your Theragun.

I got my Theragun. It's all I ever needed in my life. It's so great. Uh, I haven't missed, uh, Diane since, uh, I mean since I got my Theragun. Poor Diane. She's probably suffering.

Tell you what, I didn't spend $2,000 on massages this year. Nope, because I had my Theragun. That's right. It's so great. I wish I had a Theragun my whole life. I don't know where I would be right now. I'd probably be happier. I'd probably be happier. I'd probably be more calm and content.

my mom up for this, like, right now. Packed fresh, shipped frozen, and vacuum sealed so it stays that way so you're you're an accountability coach and i want to get into that a little bit more but before we we do uh there i know it says here that andy andy andy cohen the producer he it was like this is almost like is it's like a compliment and a criticism at the same time where he was like he said that you kept yourself accountable in your most no bs leaving announcement on record which is like hey great job for calling yourself accountable but also like is saying that yeah right she was wrong

or something i don't know so what he saying, so every housewife prior to me when they've no longer on the housewife, I would say 95% of the housewives, it's because their contract's not renewed. But every single housewife says, it was a mutual decision.

We both decided that it was time for us to focus on family. Oh, yeah. It's the classic bachelor. It's just like when they didn't get cast in On Paradise,

it's like, I decided not to. Yeah, I didn't want to do it. I was too busy with work. Whatever it's just like when they didn't get casted on paradise it's like i decided not yeah i didn't want to do it i was too busy with work whatever it may be but i didn't do that i normally you wait three months and then they announce that you're not coming back and then you do the press statement of like i gotcha but i didn't do that applaud you for being like i was let go i was like hey they didn't renew my contract probably because i was boring thanks you know like sorry to bore you but that's what happened you know good for you because i didn't want to you know what the one thing that like i want to stand by is like i'm authentic to who i am i may be obnoxious i may be all these things that you can see in moment to moment but i'm not going to all of a sudden pretend that something is that it wasn't you know know? Yeah. Who on the Real Housewives franchise,

being an accountability coach yourself, do you feel holds themselves the least accountable? You know, I think, I'm an accountability coach when it comes to health and fitness, but I think- This is fun, Petty. I know, but you were dodgy with your question too

about the bachelor there, Nick. I still think- I still think Hannah Brown was an excellent bachelorette. I think Claire has been wildly fun to watch. Least accountable. In the whole franchise. The whole franchise? You're going to have to help me with this because I know you're a Housewives fan. This is a question for Tammy.

Fine. Can you narrow it down to what city at least the the show you were on oh my gosh the people well okay fine you're just backing me into a corner denise richards denise richards fine fine she holds herself the least accountable yep okay why um she's excellent at uh switching the narrative and becoming the instead of playing the victim you said it not me no i can't like that's her whole life though right it's like you're married to charlie sheen like you you know how to like spin a narrative what does charlie have to do with i feel like she's blaming her problems on everyone else because it's because she had to like deal with like all this drama all the time so she always had to like spin it to make it be like it's okay so you're agreeing with denise no i'm saying i'm

not saying it's justified i'm saying she's just probably so used to it she doesn't know any better than to not spin a narrative. I don't know. If Denise has listened to that, she's probably like, you're right. I had no option. You know what? This is what I had to do.

And you know, the truth is, I haven't spoken to Denise, but if I saw her on the street, I have no hard feelings towards her, anything like that. That doesn't mean, yeah, of course. It is what it is. She could do a better job of owning her own shit. shit or then saying you know what it's none of your business yeah who besides yourself is holds himself the most accountable in the show that you were on i mean i think lisa renna holds herself very accountable like i would if someone who doesn't

know it the show that well i would agree she owns it she is that honey she is the reason i like women really lisa well i i joke about that but like yeah uh she was beau on days of her lives and i was young enough like i just that was my first memory of being like, I'm attracted to this person. This is a hot human being. And she is super hot. First memory of like, probably before I could even get an erection. I think if I could get an erection. This is going to be my text message to Lisa when I leave here.

I'm pretty sure she knows. You gave Nick Viall his first erection. This is how rumors are knows. You gave Nick Vial his first direction. This is how rumors are started. I told someone who's close to her. So she does. Yeah, she does. I mean, I think that also,

I mean, it's very, the show holds you accountable in itself because anything that you say is going to come back to haunt you anyhow. Yeah, but as you say, like some of those people

then make excuses for the things that are aired or excuses or why it's not their fault and some people are just like yeah i did that yeah i mean i think the biggest thing that i always say like people are like well was it the edit i'm like it's not the edit because you said or you did it so yes they can choose to air whatever they want but if it came out of your mouth it happened who's the best at apologizing best at apologizing i'm really good at apologizing uh the best at apologizing i think i think erica is really good at apologizing yeah dancing with the stars my oh were you guys

on dancing with stars at the same time yeah i really liked her i love her so much i mean i like her i haven't really seen her since i don't mean in the past tense like I know and by apologizing I mean she's when Erica and I said we had some issues my first season and when we said after that that we were going to move on we did you know like it wasn't like okay I still feel like she's holding a grudge or I'm holding a grudge like there was actually a moment of like I like I liked her because like, I felt like she's quiet. She can be intimidating. And I'm guessing a lot of people will then make assumptions about her demeanor. And she's actually just like really nice and really cool when you get to know her.

She's just quiet and guarded. From the beginning, yeah. And she puts on this image of, you know, obviously like opulence and like, you know, wealth. And, you know, she's just pretty chill. Yeah. And she's really smart. She's, like, she's very smart. And, like, I always say, like, if Push were to come to chef

and, like, I were to get arrested tomorrow, I know that I could call Erica and she would take it to the brink. She'd ride or die. Well, she is, like, you know that she's got your back. She's loyal. Yeah. She's loyal. She's professional.

And when she lets that wall down and lets you to get to know her a little bit, she's just, I'm obsessed. I love her so much. How did you get into being an accountability coach? And for the people listening, what is that? So I,

after I had kids, I was in a place where I was really struggling on trying to figure out who I was. Like I grew up riding horses and then I became a professional equestrian. And everything that I had built in my life, like I kind of based on like if I was winning or losing. Like if I got first place at the horse show, I was doing great. If I didn't, I was, you know, beating myself up. And I kind of had the same relationship with food, exercise, friendships, no matter what it was.

Like I just had no stability. And after I had kids, I was used to working all the time. And, you know, everything kind of stopped. And I remember I was in a place where I had gained a bunch of weight, about 80 pounds. I never lost it. I was actually gaining more weight after I had my son. And I was kind of complaining to my husband all the time. I was seeing our marriage start to struggle because he was like what not because of weight or anything like that but because of my personality had completely changed because I didn't know who I was anymore and I was like I went about eight months like this where I was just unhappy and you know he

started looking he's like why are you searching postpartum on the internet are you depressed what's going on and one day I just finally was like I'm gonna change my life today and I'm gonna use Instagram to hold me accountable to doing it. So I started an Instagram on my own. It's interesting. Yeah. Because I was like, my friends are sick of hearing about it. My husband is sick of hearing about it.

I no longer believe in myself. I've got to build this. So every day I would post what I was eating. I was posting my workouts. And I was asking Instagram. So when you say Instagram, you put your goals out there. Out there. And I just said like.

Ask me, like check me. Check me if you don't see my workout today. Check me if I haven't posted my food. And I said like, my name's, you know, Teddy Mellencamp Ariave and I want to change my life today. Please follow along on this journey. And way before Housewives or anything, it started developing a following because people either want to see if you can succeed

or they want to see you fail. Yes. So in that it started, I started changing my life and I started feeling better and I started trusting myself and I started building that confidence. And by doing so people seeing my personal transformation, a business started because people started messaging me and going, I want to do this, but I don't want to do it on Instagram. Sure. Like, I don't want to put myself out there. Can you hold me accountable? So you created a community. I created a community. And so then now every single, I have, you know, over 45 coaches.

Every single one of them has gone through the program. They then coach others. And, you know, we've changed over 15,000 lives now. I truly love what I do. And it's the one thing that, that like really holds me to my goals still because you know had I had this 2020 and I didn't have this you know my self-worth wasn't up I think I'd be in a really bad place right now that's great do you feel like uh too many people in relationships solely rely on their partners to hold themselves accountable, therefore putting an unnecessary stress on their relationships?

I think so. I think before you can be happy in a relationship, you have to be happy with yourself. Yeah. And so if you, you know, I used to, Edwin would come home from work, and I'd be like, hey, babe, just this is what I did with the kids today. And, you know, like I was looking to him to validate me instead of validating myself throughout the day.

And once I shifted that I watched him be more loving I watched everything start to change because nobody wants to come home from a day at work and feel like their wife is like so needy and needing like that like validation or husband yeah so I think that me realizing that and him also realizing the changes that I was making put us in a situation where we could start communicating instead of being like me putting up this hard shell and then being mad at him because he's not validating me and realizing, oh, my gosh, Teddy, you have to do the work yourself. And he had to do the work, too, to see what was happening as you change because you got to grow together. And so and then some of these goals that people want to be held accountable for, it's just is it physical, emotional, mental or all of the above? What happens is and once you start taking care of yourself, once you start eating healthy, once you start exercising,

once you start your mental health gets better and then all of a sudden you leave that cheating husband or you ask for that raise at work or you get rid of that toxic friend or you start going to therapy you start taking actionable steps to make yourself better where when you're in a stagnant situation and you're putting yourself down all the time you don't want to take those steps you just want to you know isolate yourself so I see I mean that's the most incredible part so like yes we are helping them on their health and fitness journey but seeing their transformations all over the board when it comes to their life like all of a sudden even if you're a mom and you have three kids and you're telling your kids constantly go outside and play but you never play with them or you're never outside doing those things with them

what are your kids going to do no they're going to want to go play fortnite so like it's just taking you know practicing what you preach and i it's just taking, you know, practicing what you preach. And that's really what our, you know, business is all about. And so I'm really grateful because, you know, it still holds me accountable to this day. Get ready for those holidays, people.

and some of them are even coaches. That's great. Yeah. I'd like to see Denise go through it. No. I'll send you that episode. It might not be the best one for us. I love it when they show up to these kind of things

where it's motivational or whatever, but they're full glam. I know. And it's like, you're about to work out and sweat. Why are you in Gucci in full glam? I was so confused. Eyelashes falling off. Yeah.

I know. That was a whole doozy of a sitch. They've brought people back, have they not? Who have those contracts they haven't renewed? Yeah, they have. Yeah, but it...

Not often? I mean, they do. When they do it... Would you ever? I don't know. You know, I hope that I'm in a situation that just continues to evolve and I'm in a place where like

my next gig is even better. Yeah. Aren't you doing a cooking show? No, I just went on Hallmark and did. And I go back for guest spots and that kind of thing. I mean, usually when they bring somebody back, they want somebody to be super dramatic. It's not always a positive.

You come in kicking down the door. Yeah have a secret you're coming in and you're and you're dehydrated yeah like you're being like the wheels have fallen yeah like so i i mean it's gonna be hard like you call up andy i've hit rock bottom you want to record it who do you want me to fight with i'm ready to go like so that's but I mean the hard part will be is that like Kyle truthfully is one of my closest friends I talk to her every day so like that portion cameo maybe but then we'll see we'll see it's you know we'll have to see I mean I think it's like you showed up for like like you were naturally at one of Kyle's parties that makes but maybe I'll refuse to be on camera. I love that.

I love that journey for you. You can't mic me. I love that journey for you. Yeah, but mainly, I mean, you get so close to the crew. Like that's who I really like. I love the girls, but also I really miss the producers and the crew. Like three years of your life, you talk to them. Yeah, totally.

I mean, I can relate to that. I miss the gang sometimes you know there's a you share like so much as you know in those worlds it is about kind of just emoting and being open and kind of like hey if you're thinking it you say it then you connect with those people and it's just so that's kind of how it is so then when you you leave it yeah it's like you just got to rip the band-aid off i think uh so you were born in Indiana? Bloomington, Indiana. Are you, like, how long, like, do you consider yourself a Midwest kid? Not really.

Or were you born and then you moved? I was born there, and then in third grade, my parents got a divorce, and I moved to South Carolina. So I consider myself, even though I was born in Indiana, I grew up in South Carolina. Okay. So, I mean, I had a thick accent when I first moved out here. What was it like to be the daughter of a legend people never

believe this but i really didn't know the difference growing up like i was like i knew he sung and i knew he'd go to concerts and stuff but it wasn't really a big deal pretty normal yeah because he doesn't live over the top he's very t-shirt jeans kind of guy yeah you know he's like sig in his mouth 24 7 hey what's up you know like that's kind of how he is um it wasn't until i came out here that people were like what they treated you differently yeah that makes sense because i feel like in the midwet well i don't know everybody was used to it you know i i went to the same school from third grade till my senior year so it's like everybody knew maybe that first volleyball game people were like oh and then it was you know you know you ended up normal i mean

ish but you know that maybe that's an unfair stereotype i have other close friends of of of siblings with legendary parents and you know everyone has their challenges and there's a lot of families who have their own challenges and parents are normal. But you also worked in the mail room at CAA and UTA in LA and I feel like that's not something you would think of from someone who's a child of a celebrity. That's like the ultimate pay your dues classic story of LA and I think that's pretty great.

Thank you. You weren't like, do you know pretty great that like you were like, you weren't like, do you know who I am? You're like, no, I mean, I didn't have a choice. I mean,

truthfully, I didn't have a choice. Like my people always think like, Oh, she's got this big fat trust fund. She's all these things. And like, it wasn't that,

I mean, I moved out here when I was 17 years old. Um, and my parents were like, you can take your car, but other than that, you got to figure it out i i lived in a studio apartment with another girl from my acting class and i worked in the mailroom

and i was a waitress at mr chow like i was doing all the things all the la things co-parent pretty well after they got divorced whose permission did you have to get both or my mom was always more of like a best friend type like she was like all of my friends loved my mom she was super cool i was scared of my dad okay like i remember there was a time where like my dad also had a house in hilton head so he'd come there often because it was one of those things we were with him every other weekend and then maybe it was like a week on in the summer i don't remember exactly but i was with him and i was like i'm gonna ride my bike to the barn and i was like i'll on in the summer. I don't remember exactly. But I was with him and I was like, I'm going to ride my bike to the barn.

And I was like, I'll be home in two hours. I don't know the concept of time. I'm like 10. And this is why I'm never late, by the way. And I see him pulling up and he's in his like, you know, old school Mercedes with the top down and he's got the sig and it's like fast pulling through. And I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm going to get a spank.

I am going to get spanked. And I remember getting home and I'm sitting there. And these are different times back then. And there's, I mean, at this point, he was like had some celebrity pals there and we're all at this dinner. And he's like, you were late and I'm canceling your birthday tomorrow.

And I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, yeah, it's canceled. You're done. It's a little harsh, but I do like it. And since that day, I have never, I am like not late. I am on it. I am crazy about it. It is accountable.

I haven't had a blessing to be a parent yet, but I've always joked that my kids will know disappointment. Yeah. It's just like you got, it's hard to disappoint your kids, I feel like. But like one thing I've always been grateful to my parents.'s like i i was often disappointed i had a great childhood but no you have to and i think that also financially if you have to work for what you want you care about it more if it's all handed to you yeah yeah it's hard to appreciate it yeah i mean that mail i mean my my favorite thing about you is the mail room how How long did you work in the mailroom?

Do you have any like stories? I worked in the mailroom for a year And then I got promoted and I worked for the head of Lit his name was Ken Stovitz who I still to this day see him and I get like, you know That nervous 18 year old feeling because back then there was like an assistant inside and there's an assistant out I was the it was called the first assistant So I was the first assistant. So I had to be on all the calls. And like Will Smith would call and I'd be like, Ken, stay with us.

And Ken's like, Teddy, with the accent, can you reel it in a little? And I'd be like, hold up, y'all, one second. Like, Teddy, we need to work on the accent a little. Do that thick South Carolina accent. It still comes out when I'm drinking. But other than that, I pretty much reeled it in. Drinking and tired? Drinking and tired, or when I'm around my friends from growing up.

Then the twang comes back out. I love it. Will Smith? He was Will Smith's agent, and then I got recruited to work at UTA. When you switch agencies like that, you get escorted out of the building, which was all kind of drama.

I was like, I'm going to go work for Tracy Jacobs over at UTA. And within three minutes, they packed up my stuff and they're like, goodbye. And I worked for her. And at that point, I mean, she's an amazing agent. She's like powerhouse. But she is no nonsense. And that's when I realized I don't actually want to be an agent. But I learned so much from her that it was incredible.

How long did you work for her? Almost two years. Yeah. I mean, it's, but it taught me so much about the industry. And, you know, when I first started at CA in the mailroom, I thought I wanted to be an actor. And I was going to all these things, like all these auditions. And that's when I really like kind of lost myself a little bit because you get so much rejection and then I got I booked a pilot and they called me and they said hey if we're gonna book you but you have to lose at least 15 pounds if you want to do the show

and then I never went on another audition again and that's when I started like really getting into it at CAA and you said fuck you and And then I, you know, then years and years of issues surrounding food because of that reason. But it was, you know, something that really hurt me. And I remember feeling like, wow, like. Wow. That really scarred you. It scarred me. But then, you know, I'm lucky that I have that story, that I have those memories so that I can, you know, I've been able to grow from it.

I was thinking about that not too long ago. There's like certain random memories, some good, some bad of like, why do I, why does this memory stick with me so much? You know, in terms of like, you know, just like this random specific memories of like things, interactions that you have. And some of them aren't necessarily, again, horrific or scars, but they really, they'll stick with you for a long time and then some of

the things that you completely like black out from your memory like my sister will remember things and i'll be like i i have absolutely no recollection of that from our childhood and she's like i'm like i think you just saw a picture so i wonder why we do that some things that are just ingrained in us and some things we can't remember. I don't know. I don't know either. We'll probably need some therapy. Not solved today.

I'm not going to figure it out on these chairs. I'll ask my therapist. So then after, so you, because of that, you didn't want to be an actor. What did you do next? So I worked in the agency for, you didn't want to be an actor. What did you do next? So I worked in the agency for a couple of years. You stayed. I stayed.

I worked for Tracy Jacobs. Then they had me work for a covering agent. And then they start to promote you up the ranks. And I was like, you know what? I don't actually want to do this. And I went back to riding horses for a living. And I did that for over 10 years. What is, when you say living, what is that? Like, so growing up, I was like a nationally ranked equestrian,

traveled around the United States. And then I, at 17, when I moved out here, I just stopped, cold turkey. Like after Madison Square Garden, I was like, I'm done. I'm burnt out. It's like one of those things where you travel so much. And I was like, okay, I don't want to do this anymore. And then weirdly, this is such an LA story, but a friend of mine was like,

I want you to speak to this healer. And the healer, when I was working at the agency, she was at a party that we all went to and the healer was like, why don't you ride horses anymore? And I was like, oh, because I just got over it. And she's like, I think you'd be happier if you did. So I went back to doing it and I did it.

Were you in fact happier? I was for a big period of time because I remembered like sure you know I love that competition I love horses I loved all of that and then when I met my husband you know it's not super and his mom and you know all those things I life shifted a little bit my husband had had a daughter already. And so I started shifting my work where I was like, okay, I'll only work, you know, five days a week instead of traveling all the time. And then after we got married and I had a baby, I was like, okay, I can't be on the road with my baby.

And that's what I was doing at first. I was like, right after I had Slate, I was like back on the road again, traveling, going to horse shows. And then I was just like not working. How'd you meet your husband? Drunk at a nightclub. yeah nice yep i was every girl's dream yeah no it should be why not did you guys hook up well yeah uh well why do you want to let's go over this is like this is an inspirational story for all the people who feel shamed and judged because they like hooked up with

some guy and i feel like i can't marry him now because he won't respect me and i'm like well just make sure he enjoyed having sex with you he'll definitely be back and if he does it that's fine not your guy but that's really right i mean this the backstory was i was recently divorced i had married somebody when i was young out here and i was like you know what we were best friends but that was kind of the end of it and I was like we realized and I was like neither of us were really willing to work on it and I was like okay so I was recently divorced it was the day after Christmas and my girlfriends were like let's go to eat at the Belmont

so we went to go eat had a million Belmont over on yeah on La Cienega and after a million drinks we're like should we see if we can still get into the clubs like total losers and as we were walking it but like we are ridiculous how old were you 28 but like totally fine i was a hot mess i was like i don't i can't even talk about my level of hot mess walking into the club but as i was walking in what was the club um coco de vil was the name of it it was next to the belmont

now it's like something else that starts with a p or something but uh I was walking in he was walking out and then he did a little turnaround followed me back he was like yeah just probably this girl looks a hot mess um but yeah that was night one my alarm went off he pegged you as vulnerable he's like yeah he looks a little sloppy that's the one I want she's with twins they seem like they're on a mission um and uh yeah that was it the next morning i woke up what was his intro hi unclear it's a little unclear were you drunk by the time you showed up to the club yes okay i woke up the next morning you don't even really remember no good for you this is killing. So the next morning I wake up and my alarm goes off at 540 because I have to be at work by 7 at the barn.

And I wake up and I'm like, oh, my God. This is a terrible situation. One, he has a ponytail. Two. You married a guy with a ponytail? He doesn't have any more, but he did. It wasn't a man bun. It wasn't like a Jared Leto.

It was like a. He tricked me. What year was this? This was maybe 2008. But this. And he had a ponytail. But he had it tucked in a beanie. So he fooled me.

Because I didn't know. You know the beanie. Is this like an 80s ponytail where it's like the bad. It's not a ponytail. No, it's so bad. It was so bad. That would be the worst. So I wake up. So you didn't it was so bad that would be the worst so i wake up so you didn't know i didn't know about the ponytail until i woke up and i'm like and then he took it out and kind of did one of these i so i wake up and i'm in a panic state because one i'm hung over

two i have to go to work three there's this man next to me and i'm like this is a code red moment in all of the ways and i look over i see the ponytail i see leather pants on the floor i'm like this is a disaster you married a guy with leather pants this is why i'm saying daddy issue this is a problem so i'm like edmund edmund you have to go and he's like he was at your house yes he was at my apartment he goes i have to tell you my name is edwin not edmund i'm like either way you have to go and he's like how am i gonna get home you we took a cab here i'm like this was before uber by the way yeah but cabs work in the morning i'm like you gotta get a cab like it was just i i really thought this so at what point was he like great but can i see you again well so i i we i ended up driving him to a

starbucks like nearby because i lived like so i drive why starbucks because he wanted coffee he's like who gets up this early day after rate it's a sunday morning at 6 a.m you have to be at work like this is craziness and i drove him to a Starbucks, dropped him off. And he's like, um, we exchanged numbers or something. And then later on that day, did you think he was going, when you exchanged numbers, what was this like? Okay. Yeah, sure. Here's my number.

Did you think you guys would hang out again? No. And I had, and I had to pick up my coworker and she and I were just making fun of him the whole time in the car. Like, we're like, what's with the ponytail, dude? To his face? To his face. Well, that's better. It's always better than behind your back.

But this is when I started to have a crush on him because he could laugh at himself. That's what I'm saying. Because I'm like, this is a disaster, this ponytail. And honestly, why is your V-neck so low? And why do you have leather pants? Why is there leather? I've been guilty of the low V-necks before.

It's so low. Like, I could see his, like, one lonely. How old was he uh 32 maybe okay i mean but then it's just it just kept going and it started out as just a hookup for a while like it was like so you just hook up buddies yeah and then the ponytail go away that's what i want oh so then once we got started getting serious like and it was like so you never really had so the next time you hung up, was it like we're going clubbing again? Do you want to meet us here? The next time we went out was because the co-worker that I had in the car met his best friend.

Okay. And so then it was who? My friend wants to have sex with your friend. Yeah. Do you want to like chaperone yeah I mean then I think around like the fourth hookup he took me on our first date and then when I started really liking him was a night where he was like okay let's go to like pick me up took me to a steak restaurant like I was like okay he's whining and dining me and then after he's like do you want to karaoke

I thought he meant like go to a karaoke place i'm like yeah he takes me back to his house where he had a full karaoke setup like a stripper pole like all of the things like this was all the red flags he changed into a like a costumey type thing i'm like this is if he's if he is a good singer i'm dead if he because i'm going to be so embarrassed for him but he was because like if he was a good singer you I'm dead. Because I'm going to be so embarrassed for him. But he was the world. Because if he was a good singer, you know he's taking it seriously. And I would have been so gross. So I'm like, this is do or die right now. And he went on.

And he was the world's worst singer. And I was like, OK, I'm falling in love with this guy. Stripper colonel. Such a fine line between someone who's so self-aware and can make fun of themselves but leans into it so much that you're not sure if it's which way it's gonna flip yeah really but the ponytail went away when we started getting actually like serious you were just like this is like if you want to date me and meet my family and people i respect this has has to go. Like if you want to be seeing me in daylight hours.

No. No. We got invited to a wedding. I got invited to a wedding back in South Carolina and I just said, listen, Edwin. Oh, South Carolina. Like this is not going to fly in the South, bro. Like I had to give him a couple heads up.

I'm like, listen, like you're welcome to come with me to the wedding, but your ponytail isn't. So you can make the choice for yourself. Good for you. And he was like, all right, I Good for you. And he was like, all right, I'll cut it. And I was like,

it was that easy? I've been dealing with this whole regime for months. But he thought the leather pants, ponytail, and the V-neck were why he was getting laid. I was like, this is why you're not getting laid. And you were like, in reality,

you were just good at finding drunk chicks who couldn't see your ponytail. Who didn't realize you had a beanie on and were hiding said ponytail until it's too late. Yeah. Does he still wear a V-necks? Not as low. Not as low.

Not as low. Is there a difference in the lowness of a V-neck? Yes. Oh, my God. Yes. Have you never seen the SNL skit with Ben Stiller, the double V? No.

Oh, no. It's the double V. I just remembered. Sorry, I spit on myself. But no, there's the two of A. I just remembered. Sorry, I sped on myself. But no, there's like an American apparel low V that everybody, like all the douchey dudes used to wear. Like Dancing with the Stars low V? Yeah.

Well, the boy band manager on this season of The Bachelorette, I mean, he manufactures his low V by just wearing the button up and only buttons two buttons. And he wears like the untuck it shirt. Because he has the chest tattoo. I didn't get this tattoo to not show my chest. I went on The Bachelorette to showcase this lion. Is it a lion?

I don't know. I'm assuming it's a lion. Or it's his like sign, his astrological sign. Now I get it. I know that I'm the only going to button two buttons guy. But in fairness to the boy band manager, it sounds like you married someone who could have been on the bachelorette as a boy band manager when also when i first met him he simulated to play an instrument in a band that was his job he's also just like a really successful businessman oh yeah so he was

always a super successful businessman like where did this wait, he was like an air guitarist? I'm so confused. Oh, he simulated playing... You've got to look up the video. Your husband's a fucking dork. I love it. He is amazing. So, yeah, no, it's a whole thing.

But he's always... He came from really humble beginnings. He's from Colombia. Okay. And... I really like this guy. He's so great. You don't really know if he's a total douchebag

or just a really funny oh he's self-deprecating he's a character he is such a character he's so funny i mean he has super humble beginnings he's he started like supporting his whole family at 14 years old he runs a huge company and like i'm so proud of him but he's like always has so much fun too and like i i i couldn't do that i think you have a crush on him yeah i appreciate the fact that he could go so hard to the paint with this i mean the the ponytail he had he was serious about but the pole at the house the karaoke the costume the lamborghini all of the things he owned a lamborghini oh he still does unfortunately what's the color what's the color

that's just white if it was red i would be out If it was red, I would be out. If it was red. cause it's white makes it better. It's still embarrassing, but you know what? I called, I don't know if I should say this, but I'm already there. I called the penis extender.

I'm like, do we have to drive the penis extender? I can't, but he has a car thing and they're all white. If he's a car guy, then you know, for me, I try to find the endearing qualities because like for him, he's always wanted to work hard enough to be able to buy the things that he likes. If he's a car guy, then... And, you know, for me, I try to find the endearing qualities because, like, for him,

he's always wanted to work hard enough to be able to buy the things that he likes. So it's like, okay, I get it. At least it's not yellow or that ivory. If you're a car guy, you're a car guy. But, like, it's always, like, the guys who get in, like, who own the Ferrari or Lamborghini

and they can't drive it. Oh. You know, they don't really know how to do maintenance. And they don't work on their cars. Like, I'm not a car guy. I give a shit about cars. Yeah. You know, drive but i you know and the thing is he never even drives these cars i'm like you just like to look at them i think that's fine but it's he works really hard

for it so it's like you know what he's a car guy house guy he's an aesthetic how did he propose gosh now we're really getting into the story no so the night before he was but the night before it ends up happening uh he comes home and he's got like tears in his eyes and I kind of thought it was happening because it was going to be our two I think it was our two year either two year yeah two year anniversary and the next day or two days later and he came home and he's all emotional and he's like hey I just I wanted to kind of give you a heads up about something like I really when I first met him he told me I don't believe in marriage that's who I am and blah blah blah and I was like whatever okay and then as we started getting more serious

he's like I want to have more kids and I'm like well I don't have kids without being married so that's just it is what it is let's just keep having fun and you do you um and then when this comes to an end it comes to an end and uh then he uh comes home one night and i i think he's changed his mind about marriage just because we're in love and having a blast and he says uh i just want you to know that i i went to go buy your ring today and i couldn't do it and i i just want you to know that i love you and you've been such an amazing like uh you know figure to my to my daughter and I can't imagine losing you,

but I'm deathly afraid of marriage and I just can't do it and I'm sorry. And I said, okay, well, it's the day before Christmas. All your family's coming over and okay. And I said, but please do not come into the living room right now because I'm gonna drink a bottle of wine. I'm gonna call all my friends and I'm going to cry but tomorrow I'm going to be there

and we're going to get through the holidays and then we'll see what we got to do so the next day I just disappear you know we already live together like we're in deep you know like I'm like shit I got to figure this out but I'm going to get through the holidays so I just make myself busy the whole day then I get to the house and um his whole family's there and he's being all loving and I'm like what stop like let's just let's do what we got to do and my heart was like broken and he said you know we're opening gifts and I start to open a gift and it's like a Gucci jacket or whatever and I'm like oh great I would pretend I care like, oh, awesome. And then he's like, can you check the pocket? And I checked the pocket.

Wait, he pranked you? He didn't prank me. But then he proposed. And then. But he meant it when he said. He meant. And then he told me, he goes, your reaction. OK.

When I told you I couldn't get married. I knew how much you loved me, how much you loved Isabella, and how much you were a person i couldn't live without i like that well you handled it with uh you didn't throw a temper tantrum he's like i knew that you were like a stable loving amazing person that like i couldn't be without like the fact that you would put my daughter and my family as a priority when your heart was just broken like i i knew i was being. That makes a lot of sense. Like, all the times when we talk about relationships,

you know, when people are, you know, how they handle the difficult stuff. It's always, it's a scary proposition to think about marriage or a lifetime when, you know, when everything's perfect and you just know it's going to go to shit at some point and you just don't know how you two are going to handle it. And not that it's going to go to shit at some point and you just don't know how you two are going to handle it and not that it's going to ship but like this is like a real dilemma and a challenge you guys faced and he must you gave him a world of confidence and

whatever you did or how you handled it clearly like you know scratched at a wall that he had a wall up or his fear of marriage he had been married before no he hadn't been married he hadn't been married before but he had a kid he had yeah this person and but he had never really seen a successful marriage you know like his parents were together and like I think he's the breadwinner for his entire family I think he just was worried about that next step and what it was going to mean and you know I think it was me him realizing i don't need anything from you other than love like and support and friendship and like once we are we're able to like really have those conversations then like we were able to really grow as a couple like instead of kind of

it's pretty great oh he's kind of awesome so just you know if you're trying to get your guy to, to marry you, just, uh, be cool. Surprise. It's a balance. Sleep with him on the first date. Make fun of the way he looks. Don't, just don't pressure him harder.

Yeah. I think, you know, believe me, I wanted to, it may not work, but it may not work, but I want to flip out.

But I, you know, I was like, I just, I was in love. I loved Isabella so much. I couldn't do it. That's pretty great.

Before we let you go, you up for playing a fun little game called Do You Know Me? Sure. Great. And I've never played this game. It's a blast. You're going to love it. For those of you listening, you can find it on Amazon or Target. It's called Do You Know Me?

It's real simple. I will ask you some questions does teddy blank does teddy blank blank blank don't answer right away chris and i are going to guess the answer okay to see who knows teddy better all right the pressure's on the pressure's on um feel free to just simply yes or no to the questions if you have an anecdotal story to help elaborate the answer, you are welcome to share it, but there is no pressure to do so. Feels like pressure. It would add to the show.

But you do you. But you do you. Do you know me with Teddy Mellencamp? Question number one. Chrissy, pick these out just so you know. I don't know if anything is offensive did Teddy have music on the last oh okay did Teddy have music on the last time she had sex no I'm gonna say yes no she's her husband's Latin yeah fine but they're like married and

and they have kids. And even when you aren't married or don't have kids. She also says they play music every morning when they wake up. So it seems like a music thing. I'm going to still say no. Also, sometimes if you have spontaneity in the sex, you don't have time to like, hold on, let me put on the music. I love how we debate this.

There's kids running around. Maybe it's like, oh my God, we have a second in the closet. True. You don't have time to like, hold on, let me put on the music. I love how we debate this. There's kids running around. Maybe it's like, oh my God, we have a second in a closet. I don't know. Definitely. I'm still going to go with yes. I'm going to say no.

Yes. Always yes because. You always have music on? Yes, because you have kids. They can hear you. Oh. What happens if,

if the music's so loud, you can't hear them coming in? Well, no, we put the chair in front of the door or we have closet time i love it closet time has to what's uh what was the music that was playing is it like anything that's loud well no it's just anything that comes up on the phone quickly when we decide

it's like oh we got to deal with it and then we make jokes about how many songs yeah is it super gross that in high school that my friend would make a mixtape for like dances for prom and he would call it his insta moist tape moist is my least favorite word that is a disgusting word horrible word and by my friend do you mean yourself no it was not me he's like by my friend it was a dear one of my still dear friends. We were in high school. No. And that person's name was Nicholas? No, it was not. It was definitely not me,

but he was like, I got the Instamoise tape right here. No, no, sir. It was a CD, but. Oh my God, that guy had a teatop. Do you remember your high school like sweetheart song? Yeah. Mine was Casey and Jojo.

Oh, Casey and Jojo. All my life. All my life. Oh, wait, what's up? Okay. Yeah, very. Hey, Casey and Jojo. All my life. All my life. Don't wait for someone. Yeah. When was the last time you had sex to Casey and Jojo? You know, it would be weird because that was my high school song.

Oh, my God. Could you imagine if someone she was dating flipped on like her dad's music to bang her by? Your dad has some good sex songs. Some good sex songs. But seriously, that would be the worst. I think, unfortunately, I have had on 80s music before, and he has come on. And it's like, change now.

He came on so you could come on. Oh, no. Sorry, that was too easy. Has Teddy ever given a stranger a fake phone number? Yes. Yes, I say yes, too. Yes, always. Has Teddy ever vandalized property

rebel technically yeah she has you know probably a minor nothing really like a toilet paper ring but if she really thinks hard she you know she fucked up some shit and then she was like why did i do that i'm gonna say yes to like a toilet paper ring or something oh so here's the story yes because in high school there was one game where like all of our boyfriends went to their game and cheerleaders didn't go this game you know whatever some obnoxious thing so we decided we were going to decorate our boyfriend's car cars but what we didn't know was that if you put ketchup and decorate people's car it takes the paint off ketchup takes the paint off cars well it takes the paint off cars? So it was accidental. It was accidental.

We were like, love you, blah, blah. Is that vandalism? I mean, we got taken into Sea Pine Security. Oh, okay. Oh. Okay. Not the cops, but the local security guard came and was like, this is considered, you know, maybe it was mustard, mustard, ketchup,

whatever one we use but also should i not be eating that because it's going to like i know it messed up some of the cars we were always known as the girls who decorated the cars and it messed up the paint but we were trying to be nice like one of the guys names was ryan and we did like ryan 021 i mean it was who Who knows? A hot mess. Express. Question number four. Does Teddy know what 5 p.m. is in military time? I mean, I think she could probably figure it out. But if I gave her four seconds, I'm going to say no. I'm going to say yes.

Absolutely not. Of course I couldn't figure it out with 10 minutes. I also think for the people, if you've served in the military, total, obviously, pass. If you've never served in the military and you have military time on your phone, you're an asshole. You're just trying to brag. You're trying to show off.

It's an unnecessary flex. No, I can't even do my, I can't even figure out my daughter's second grade math at all. If your father was in the military, fine. If you have a military connection, totally. Like if you have a military connection, if you have a military background, it's fine for you to have it on your phone. If your favorite movie is The Hunt for Red October

and that's why you have it, you're an asshole. Some people who are like workout people like do the military type thing. I don't know. Asshole. Asshole. CrossFit asshole.

Unnecessary. Has Teddy Never had sex At their parents house Sure Yeah Growing up Growing up Or even now

I mean, neither. I mean, I did. But either way, no. Good for you. I didn't have sex with anybody at my parents' house until after I was married. Because my dad wouldn't ever let my, wouldn't let Edwin stay in the room with me until we were married. So your high school boyfriend didn't like rollerblade over from across town to like
