0:00.0	Coming up in this incredible part three conversation with Teddy Mellencamp.
0:05.0	This is a high class podcast right here, so I'm not sharing what we go by, our names.
0:10.1	Oh, you can share.
0:10.8	Oh, I can share?
0:11.4	Oh, yeah.
0:12.1	Okay.
0:12.5	I'm so excited to ask you all the scoop on for everyone who watches all these shows.
0:18.8	As a viewer, I feel like I get this sense that there must be some pressure on cast members
0:26.4	to be, to have drama or to stay relevant to keep their job.
0:32.6	Do you feel like people like manufacture drama?

1:25.1	they might air dirty laundry they never would
1:28.1	have before or they might lose a friendship or lose a marriage or lose a job or whatever it might be.
1:34.8	All of us can say there's a small addiction to making money.
1:41.0	So the longer that you're on the housewives, the more money you're going to make. Is everyone paid the same based on years, or is it different? Is that the only app you're on, you're dating? I tried to get on Raya, but I really didn't get in. Neither did Erica. What? Yes. We did not get into Raya. We don't know why. We're like, are we controversial?
