How Jennifer Tedmori Dealt With Being Fired From Ned's | Ep 38

[@NedsPod]

What was your favorite part of this episode???

[@toqmoney7202]

When u said u would slap a 12 yrs old😂

[@kamenriderblackman4426]

I enjoy Jennifer's legal tip. And may I say, she is attractive and can't imagine her not being attractive enough for a lead role.

[@BROKEAZGAMER]

Just seeing my crush on the show again.

[@jen52869]

Definitely there were so many fascinating bits but the AI talk was so fascinating. AI does scare me and I’m glad y’all acknowledged how it could affect the future cos sometimes it feels like no one is really phased by AI! And that alone scares me 👁️👄👁️

[@JButterZJ]

i loved your long cowboy hair it looked so good man

[@iamthurnis745]

dude the Ned’s cast all have just aged so gracefully! like everytime a guest comes on i’m like “was this set just full of gorgeous humans?”

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Most of them got out the industry after Ned’s that’s why lol

[@JoseHerradez]

My thoughts exactly. The glow ups are insane

[@jreel]

​@@pleaseshutup7053Exactly. They were able to keep their sanity by removing themselves from the industry early on before it destroyed them completely. It seems to be the case for more Nickelodeon actors compared to Disney.

[@scotthall2415]

Well back when it was being filmed the set was filled with... ya know... children.

[@venusluv-i1v]

To be frank, even they have had their ups and downs. It just wasn't broadcasted in front of everyone. Most child actors are met with some form of trauma due to being so young in the public eye.

[@bootleg317]

Is it odd that I NEVER thought “Huge Crew” referred to weight and just sorta took it to mean “tough” and whatnot? In retrospect, I guess that doesn’t make the most sense, but my childhood mind just never went to “fat”. To hear it caused so much strife is legit surprising.

[@Katsanargle]

OMG same! "Big and Bad" vibes all the way. I always thought they were normally sized lmao

[@Justlov4]

Same. I always thought it was because they were super tough and could beat you up. But being a teen girl and going in for a role that suddenly turns into being called the huge crew...especially when you struggle with image issues I can see how that could mess someone up. Such a shame to hear how much it affected her

[@raver4612]

i always thought of huge crew meaning the huge obsession with ned

[@TyGrump]

Exactly this

[@ChemDog]

Same

[@JustinProper]

Mad respect to Jennifer for being so open about her struggles. I also have ADHD & it was rather difficult growing up as well.

[@jkole1202]

ADHD is a mfer I think it makes alot of us susceptible to drugs use especially if you don't take medication

[@dyzzee7861]

If she was taking what I'm thinking I'm surprised her heart didn't explode taking that much.

[@supercook49]

Likewise man

[@Lonemite]

It’s such a misunderstood diagnosis. Growing up it just meant I couldn’t focus and sit still. If only teachers understood it back then. I’m almost 30 and FINALLY dealing with my adhd/bipolar. And I wasn’t even diagnosed bipolar until I was 19. My childhood was a throwaway of time. Feels like I’m just now starting life.

[@annihilator_420]

I was misdiagnosed with bipolar at 8 y/o. I was 22 when a psychiatrist/doctor would finally take me seriously

[@loganforsyth7439]

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS PODCAST. One week doesn’t feel short enough. The guests are incredible and nostalgic

[@JAYTHEBEAST2]

Cocaine vs Speed Jennifer: Whats the difference? Ned: Cocaines worse. Lindsey: No speed is. Daniel: Cocaine is more respectable. Bruh🤣🤣🤣

[@e.producer1082]

Jennifer has to come back on the pod again! I love how open, honest, & real she was and besides the general vibing amongst the 4, I loved seeing Lindsey & her vibe! Loved her energy, this was a 10/10 ep

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Wild she was bullied and her big break was being a bully what a mental gymnastic for a child

[@Myaccount923]

Right 😭

[@tajsimms8976]

Most bullies were bullied by someone else first

[@subutan]

As this was a kid's show...I just wanna say to Jennifer that whenever I heard the "huge crew" term, I never thought about weight. I just didn't even care about it. I associated huge with being tough and a crew of 3 girls. Kids don't really read into that stuff so "huge crew" actually sounded badass to me personally.

[@rochuolmos]

I watched this tv show in Spanish and I also always understood that it was because they are tough and tall (next to ned)😂😂😂

[@himbourbanist]

One thing I find really cool about this podcast is finding out how much of their own personality they brought to their roles on the show. It's super cool catching up with everyone years later. Ned's Declassified was a personal favorite show of mine when I was in Middle School and I really appreciate that I can also relate to everyone now as adults, too.

[@RefRMart10]

So she was on Neds, worked for an MLB team, became an attorney, and probably more she never mentioned. That’s just awesome lol What a BOSS A B

[@soulrsentral]

“How I dress is an apology to my younger self” hit hard 💯 being bullied is horrible when it happens but if you use it correctly, it can really build you up

[@JR_Donofrio]

Somebody gotta track down Claire sawyer future lawyer and get her on the show

[@thekingofsmooth]

She prolly look good as fuckkkk!!!!

[@2teej742]

I didnt know i needed this but YES

[@chelsevmvrie]

YESSSSS

[@mattemattics5667]

How about Timmy Toot Toot?

[@JR_Donofrio]

@@mattemattics5667 yesss!!!!

[@JustinProper]

This is the best episode of the podcast so far. Jennifer was such an unexpected & awesome guest. Lots of great advice & commentary that's actually helpful that goes beyond simply talking about the show. You guys are really coming into your own with this show. I'm so happy you guys enjoy doing this as much I enjoy watching/listening.

[@SoupyGal]

Agreed!

[@mattallen8136]

Everyone on the Ned’s cast has aged so well over the years.

[@Dragonmoon1598]

It's interesting to get the female perspective on the "huge crew" term. As a guy, I just put it to mean they were big (as in hight), scary, mean, and strong. I never even considered it was weight related. Sorry, you had to go through that.

[@zoeykhalifa9937]

Same my mind literally never went there it was like huge crew- yea they seem scary n tuff but not the other stuff

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I forgot about the huge crew things but as a female my mind automatically goes to weight because that is what society focus on with females we can't be to big or too skinny we just have to be perfect

[@adams8830]

This, exactly. I didn't realize it had to do with their size.

[@ch36799]

Funfact. In German Version they were called the Horror Gang😂 I am from Germany.

[@aeoligarlic4024]

She grew up to be a GORGEOUS adult! Compared to other nickelodeon shows this cast is filled with mentally sane people

[@saintjames5816]

Well dan Schneider wasn't the producer so adds up

[@standupphilosopher7059]

This and I Carly and the young man who played the brother on I Carly protected them❤

[@Cupidthewingwoman]

Jennifer not “being a 10” in Hollywood is so baffling to me. SHE’S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND I’M PROUD OF HER PROGRESS 💖

[@karlarosas1424]

This episode and the one with Michelle have been by far my favorite ones. Hearing how they went from acting to normal jobs and whatnot, it's really cool to see their insights and their reasons to just drop it, and I'm glad to see them happy and thriving.

[@tdaetaunm]

As someone who struggles with an eating disorder, it's nice to hear Jennifer talk openly about the topic. Eating disorders are death in plain sight because by not maintaining balanced eating habits, we put more strain on our hearts to work and pump blood without fuel (food), which is detrimental over time. Take care of yourself everyone and thank you for sharing your experience Jennifer! ❤

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I was happy I didn't experience it growing up but it shocked me as a teen hearing how much celebs I grew up seeing had Eating disorders and it made me conscious enough to notice if i was feeling self conscious about my body as a teen and properly address it

[@KRZero86]

I never knew how hard she struggled. I remember when I watched Ned's when I was younger, I had more of a crush on Doris wondering why Ned wasn't trying for her. Expecting the 3rd season he'd finally give her a legit chance like Cookie did the turn around with Lisa Zemo. And I remember wondering why her gang was the huge crew when they weren't even that big in my opinion.

[@michaelmohammed9282]

Compared to ned (and maybe coconut head) they were huge. "Slightly taller crew" doesn't have the same ring to it.

[@genesiselaine]

id like to think it was just a repeated nod of how girls are sm bigger than many boys at that age since our growth spurts hit us so early. but still, from what i remember there was only one taller girl in that group 😭

[@ariaurre]

in latinoamerica I think they were called "chicas rudas" so as a kid I always thought "huge" referred to like their personality, like tough, tall, etc.

[@Nierez]

@@ariaurre "Elephant Crew" but yeah, I always felt it meant tough, rowdy, tall? because they seemed older than the rest of the cast.

[@SoupyGal]

I relate to her so much. I’m autistic and ADHD. I loved listening to this. I was severely bullied too, and it still affects me to this day

[@dpglounge4900]

Me too let's all unite!

[@YouTubeperson1337]

Yeah this all hit very hard.

[@49Jkenny]

This has been without a doubt my favourite guest. Her stories and journey has been fascinating. Hope to have Jennifer on again.

[@breihall708]

The fact that they are so good with letting others shine from the show and we are able to hear everyones stories is a pinnacle factor of why this Podcast is too successful! Wednesdays are my favorite!

[@adams8830]

I totally relate to jennifer. The early to mid-2000s were literal HELL on young women when it came to body image. Regular-sized, healthy sized, or even THIN girls were always tortured for being "fat" because they weren't skeletal.

[@SunshineMael115]

Jennifer was always a secret childhood crush, crazy to see the years have been really good to her!

[@pleaseshutup7053]

She was fine on the show lol

[@PepsiMan666]

Puberty is when you develop a crush on the huge crew.

[@rudeboyspodcast]

For real, she's gorgeous. Good for her!

[@ArthurVega1992]

💯

[@SilverShion]

On my case It wasn't a secret

[@emmadilemma0499]

I think it's extremely interesting that the Huge Crew wasn't even called the Huge Crew in the German version. I only found out their original English name as an adult. They were literally called the Horror Gang which makes much more sense in my opinion.

[@mattelwood980]

The insight to the mental differences between boys and girls is wild. I never went to "Huge Crew" being a weight thing. I figured it was a reference to their huge crushes on Ned.

[@blakekaveny]

Honestly same. Especially since they aren’t even huge. Ok maybe a little plus size but not at all huge.

[@MewMewSun]

I thought it was because when they first were shown that they were taller and stronger than Ned

[@Epocseer]

I always had a crush on Jennifer on Neds and realizing how that role lead her to an eating disorder is so horrible. But she was beautiful then and she's beautiful now and I'm so happy she's loving herself now ❤

[@Justlov4]

Jennifer is gorgeous. I always liked her. It is such a shame to hear how being called the huge crew negatively affected her. I've always struggled with body image so it hits very close to home. But it's interesting because I never thought of the huge crew in that way. I thought of them as being so tough that they could beat me up. I still struggle with body image because I've been told I'm too fat or I'm not pretty like the other girls. And it just grows and feeds in your mind. I'm so glad she is doing better and a freaking lawyer! That is awesome! I love the pod because I always feel like it is a healing time for everyone. I'm glad she told her story and is kicking butt. I wish her the best. She always made me laugh in her scenes on Ned

[@paul9589]

54:30 man Devon I NEEDED to hear these words today and it helped me so much I literally almost cried. You are appreciated

[@ty3691285]

36:00 Lindsey build up, delivery, and comedic timing was perfect 😂

[@Chierushi]

I loved this part I laughed so much 😂

[@lloydwillis7773]

I can’t emphasize enough how incredible this podcast is. The guests. The conversations. I am DEVASTATED I can’t make the first live show. PLEASE come to NYC and I will be there immediately! 😂😂😂

[@iheartcrayonss]

I love that you guys provide the other cast members with such a cathartic experience to share their stories. They always say how nervous they were preparing what to say on the pod, but you guys always manage to melt away the nerves and leave them feeling supported and heard. Truly great friends and truly great messages from you and all the pod guests

[@sAv_Doll]

Even when youre unsure about an episode, you are NEVA disappointed after watching! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@julesb2415]

Fax this is a no skip podcast

[@SaberKazama]

When I was a kid watching the show, when I heard "huge crew", I thought because they were the bullies, the bullies named themselves that to mean like, "important", or a "watch out for us, we're bigger and more important than you so we can do whatever we want" kind of deal as a way to intimidate others. So hearing this perspective is so much more heartbreaking.

[@notyourchauffeur]

“We all deserve a narrative that is not solely based on trauma” thank you for saying that. Really hits home.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Never realized she was fired I assumed she was a grade older characters like her and Vanessa went to high school

[@CosmicLighthouse]

I just got done with ptsd therapy almost a year ago. It was the scariest most freeing thing I ever did for myself. So I’m proud of Jennifer for healing her brain and taking the time for it!!! You truly deserve so much good in your life girl

[@furbabies11]

Laughs in getting shot at.

[@AmiriHipHop]

One thing that always made me laugh about Ned's character in the show is that for him to be considered a lame person (#42 on the popularity list), he had a lot of girls attracted to him. Moze, Susie Crabgrass, 3-in-1 with the Huge Crew, and the MOST POPULAR GIRL IN THE SCHOOL Missy Meany was obsessed with Ned 😂. For a guy with that much pull with the ladies, Ned could have easily been very popular if he wanted to be.

[@PepsiMan666]

It's up there with George Constanza being a supposed loser but having a girlfriend every other episode.

[@liamflynn6929]

42 isn't even bad. I think he was supposed to be an average person to be more relatable

[@AmiriHipHop]

@@liamflynn6929 Yea I purposely used lame just to mean "not popular". I didn't want to say average.

[@cliffwtch9609]

Ned was Shredderman of course he had rizz but stayed calm the whole time lol

[@Chaoshero7]

Jennifer getting the reboot running would be so poetic, please make it happen

[@byeblckbirdxx]

52:40 as a fellow ADHD lawyer, I literally cheered at this tip. 🎉Jennifer, I’m so glad you didn’t let the ableist doubters talk you out of law school. We’re lucky to have you in the profession

[@brandonward778]

There's adhd lawyers? Serious question

[@julieisaway]

exactly how jen describing growing up with adhd is just so so so on point and its just so comforting to me that there are other people who felt that same way. I wasn't just looked at differently by peers but teachers as well. I had really bad experiences. It took me years to grasp what I went through and I honestly think those experiences are something you think about forever.

[@PepsiMan666]

Ned had some many admirers he was like a harem anime protagonist.

[@gobritt71]

Jennifer was AMAZING! She definitely needs to be a regular

[@CiieLove]

what i love about all these podcasts is that you really listen to each other and comment on opinions respectfully, the timing is also top tier! love your relationship

[@stephanieblood1782]

I can't believe how every guest you get is so vulnerable and interesting and kind, You guys are doing great!! 🎉

[@mg323_]

The thing I love about this podcast and reason I keep coming back to watch and listen to the episodes is because this is most definitely a safe place to talk about the demons that people have dealt with in the past and are still dealing with! People need to see that it’s ok to acknowledge that we have our struggles but it’s how we react and respond to them is what matters as well!! Thank you Lindsey, Daniel and Devon for all you do!!

[@SilverShion]

Jennifer looks incredible !! I'm surprised we haven't seen her in more shows.

[@Varone26]

Nothing makes me more happy seeing the cast living fantastic lives finding success, love, and purpose. After the memories you all gave us, you deserve all the best.

[@juliuskingsely8256]

This episode is going to be great!! Hope to see the other members of the huge crew and looking forward to the live episode. Also Jennifer is beyond gorgeous so it’s great seeing her. I haven’t seen her since Ned’s

[@Shanna-c2x]

“I dress as an apology to my younger self.” Thank you. Really. A lot of us needed to hear this.

[@Vendetta_19]

This is easily one of my favorite Podcasts ever and this episode is amazing. It hit deep. I think Ned’s will keep growing to be one of the top pods .

[@AmondoShando]

Holy Cow!!! I always loved the Huge Crew ❤

[@AudioGAWD]

Back then, I learned something about myself 😅😂

[@acezavala3816]

One of the best episodes hands down. we need more of her and legal advice lol the growth and transparency that has cultivated in the latest episodes is so great to see, especially from people we may have seen as children who we thought were excluded from the troubles of life because they were actors, just to find out they been through it as well and need to share it and let it all out like all of us at times. props.

[@ZKidful]

You guys are like my weekly Therapy Sometimes... It's insane how Close to home You guys can Hit some Hard topics and Help a lot of people around Our Generation ( I'm 27 ) And It just Feels Like You genuinely Understand how Everyone feels and I've been a long time fan And Appreciate How much You guys can Just Bring A Natural Touch on Life. Once I listen to You guys it's like You Talk to everyone Personally On an Amazing Level and What I'm Trying to say Lol Is, Thank You!

[@EzraSacks]

I'm so sad to hear how much Jennifer struggled for so long. She's a great actor, and seems like a beautiful person. I'm so glad that she can now see her own beauty, inside and out.

[@djharris8491]

Thanks to Jennifer for her candidacy and inspirational story. What an amazing story. Yall gotta have her back

[@sadiesadiewoo]

Your guys podcast is the most real podcast out there and I wish it got more recognition. There’s so many garbage mainstream podcasts that have no substance, real conversations, or advice on life but THIS is GOLD🫶🏼so meaningful and raw. Love you guys!

[@tube_of_meat]

im literally crying "I dont want to tell you my method bc thats how i learned to do it" THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! had i not seen it on tv shows when i was younger i would have never known what to do so thank you for not sharing

[@PotatoCamp]

Jennifer was part of my lesbian awakening in 2004… aaaand she’s still my type lmao 😂

[@techboss202]

May not be a lesbian, but I can say something similar with an awakening and type 😂

[@diegom2p884]

One of the best episodes, it hits all the marks, fun, gossip, tips, different experiences, information with sentimental and internal value...

[@RivCat.]

So happy to have someone talk about: 1) the availability of law school to people who didn’t focus on it, and 2) how horrible the process and the practice can be.

[@A-Oh-Trey]

Jennifer brought the real, for real. Kudos to her for opening up and finding her way to healing from past struggles... She looking goodt too. The streak of Ned's alumni who are holding up _very well_ continues.

[@DawniStorm]

Can you please make Devon's closing tip a short? I love you guys, sending loves and hugs. 🥰

[@tchallaware3639]

I love this podcast so much especially everyone expressing their struggles

[@maniicKITTYY]

35:01 I needed this. Thank you. 😢 I need this. Its harder to leave for me because i was coerced into getting MARRIED to the person. But I moved out, left everything behind, I'm only 27. I just needed to hear that. It sucks but I can't make excuses for him anymore. Ontop of me being sober for 7 years (in July) & him not being ready to get sober. I can't continue holding on anymore. I need to get on with my life even though that may sound so selfish.

[@ambriaashley3383]

I’m so proud of you…. For all of that ❤🎉

[@Windds]

You guys are ten years older than me but I loved to watch Ned’s declassified in elementary school. This pod cast makes me feel so happy. I feel like it helping me in my early 20’s I feel like being 23. I feel like I’m getting over the hump of my growing pains from 19-22.

[@xXSlyWolfDogXx]

This has got to be one of if not my favourite episode of the pod.

[@diannamarie6844]

“Are you cereal!?” I truthfully have never shouted so loud at a screen in my life, hit such a core part of my childhood. Love you guys🫶🏼🩷

[@poeskey]

She is so beautiful, I had a crush on her character back in the day lol. I always thought that they were the huge crew because most of the girls on the show were taller and bigger than the guys. Also big and bad was the vibe i got.

[@xxBrokenDreams666xx]

god, you guys are SO REAL. this is my kind of content. thanks so much, love you guys and so happy to see you in front of the camera together for a new podcast episode again!

[@FoxofGold]

I always thought the joke of the huge crew was that the members were huge adults and the ring leader was a tiny, scrappy girl who was shorter even than Moze lol. Tiny but mighty

[@TheDramaster]

these podcasts are so therapeutic and motivating. I should not trust tv stars from my childhood so much you guys are awesome.

[@aubreybest2555]

This was the episode I never knew I NEEDED!

[@shortyover2011]

Dude i didn’t think i would like this podcast, i mean i watched the show but i just didn’t know what to expect but i absolutely love it. They all give off great vibes and the positivity from every episode I’ve watched is awesome. Love what you guys are doing keep!

[@DD-vs1cs]

WOW! What a light and amazing is Jennifer, I truly enjoyed everything she had to say. Shes an inspiration for all of us out there trying to figure our shit out. The guests just keep getting better and better!!

[@noellecatherine1219]

That ad with Daniel talking to himself at the end was actually really funny lol 😂

[@bujee19]

One of the characters I wanted to see on the podcast glad they had this conversation.. I remember seeing Huge crew and the implications especially in, middle school, man so glad she got out

[@christianperez2395]

Love it guys! This is more of declassified guide to life. I think this is very healing for you guys and very healing for us too! Thank you crew!!!

On the rewatch, hearing "huge crew" again really got me to turn my head - although as a kid I don't think I ever really thought about it like that, I think I understood it as a buff thing

[@romariomartina]

I can't believe, or describe how shocked I am to hear all this about Jennifer, cause she was LITERALLY one of my Crushes on Ned's! 😵 Like, How?! Seriously?! Her?! 😱 No wonder I couldn't find much pictures of her on the internet back then! I'm so sorry she went through that! 😣😫😔

[@lauradeveau5807]

[@flyjetson_jctm]

Jennifer was the reason why i love mean girls. She was always my crush on neds besides lisa...im glad she was able to get help with her disorder and im glad she's healthy and as beautiful as ever. As a 30 year old i still love watching the show and the now the podcast seeing everyone grown and still the same!

[@josebenjamingonzalezguille2747]

Y’all are the best this was one of my best series growing up here in latan so Im glad you were part of my childhood

[@MakaelaAvery]

For me, this episode ties with Michelle Kim’s appearance for the #1 guest episode you guys have had. ❤️

[@FearsomeVoid]

The character she played was a female version of Loomer. I thought she was only in the first season, but turns out she was in the first and second. I wondered why her character disappeared from the show.

[@blakekaveny]

They kept her in the intro even though she didn’t appear on the third season. That’s the thing taht always got me

[@Hobo_X]

I always thought of the huge crew's name that way was because around the middle school age, girls tend to be taller than boys since they start puberty earlier. So you have this crew of female bullies picking on boys shorter than them like Ned and Cookie were. I'm pretty sure something like that is closer to the intention as well.

[@jordanjackson4086]

It's nice hearing about all of this and I'll keep an eye out for Jennifer's podcast when it arrives 👍
