Be careful when you say that Melissa. I mean no I want the real raw Futas today. That's what I
want to see. What I see behind the scenes is what I want to hear John Futa. No I'm just kidding.
I've got my favorite chuch and chuchetta with me tonight. Look at that. Yeah, see where I like to be a choochetta. Not the made up
Italian words. I know I like I like to be called a chooch now.
It's kind of fun. We call everybody a chooch. Your little
cute girls call people chooches at this point. I think the kids
have adopted the chooch culture. I hear them say it now. Did
they call little Joey that? No, we never we
didn't really use the word chooch, did we? We were at six flags. I thought I heard the boys calling
them chooch. The boys call each other choochers now. I know. I know the kids. The boys do. Yeah.
I mean there's worse things that they could be saying about each other, right? Wait, is there an
actual definition for the word chooch or it's just like slang Italian like hey, you're a student. Jackass, stupid.
He calls my daughters to I just love to say chooch. I think it
sounds it sounds exciting when you say chooch.
No, it sounds in Deary. It does sound in Deary. If you don't
know what it means like Oh, chooch. What's going on? Like it
does sound like a nice thing. I'm sweat.
Yeah, but it's it's really saying like what's up student
right?
way. Yeah, but it's it's really saying like, what's up? student, right? Pretty much.
So all my malicent or star calling your friend chuches. That means you love them. That's exactly right. Yeah, that's what we call each other. Chuches. All right, guys. First off, we got a
lot of questions for you, but everybody wants to talk about little baby food. That is cooking in
the oven right now. What is What is it a boy or girl?
All right.
Hold on.
Kind of be announcing soon we really like it's just been so
nice to just like chill for a second. So I don't know if this
puts things into perspective. But when we started the show,
Juliana was three months old. So we've never really been able to
like, enjoy our time
as a family of five, really like without the chaos
of the show.
So I really feel like this time that we've had off
has been like so calm and like we're just enjoying it
and we haven't really been so worried
about that kind of stuff.
But we wanted to do something like kind of cute
because you know, we do know the gender.
So we're gonna say, it a secret can we say it
today the center you guys know i know the gender so for all my listeners i know the i know the baby's
name i know everything you know we'll share we're gonna do like a cute little thing we'll
definitely share i know everybody keeps the app to me if we're gonna share the gender at this
point i feel like we might as well just wait till birth. Are you gonna do one of those balloons things?
Are you gonna do a gender reveal?
No. So I'll tell you something funny. Actually, I don't know if
you guys even know this. We did IVF with the girls also and this
baby. But with the girls, we did gender like we chose their
gender, but we didn't tell anybody. So like we did gender
reveals, because we just felt like we like so much like was taken from us like through the IVF process of like just all of it. Like it
was you know we went through pregnancy loss and we were just went through a lot like trying to
conceive. So we didn't tell our families that we chose the gender. So we threw like actual gender
reveal parties and like did the gender revealall pretended that we were. This one insulted me. So you guys, you did a terrible job at acting.
I'm not doing that.
What the hell do I look like?
You guys, I am going to post this video
to my social media and I'll send it to you guys.
He is the worst actor.
Like I'm literally jumping off the floor
and he's like this, he literally stood still.
Like I don't even think he caught me.
I think I did a good job.
I was like, oh, I did a good job.
Wait, so you both picked the gender of both girls, made beten you had no idea what was in there,
and then had yourselves a gender reveal party playing, acting to your family. We have no idea,
we're so excited. What is it? Yes.
Wow. That's gangster. That is gangster. I thought my mom was going to be mad because I told my mom, like very recently, I actually told her on the show.
I don't know if they showed her or not. But I told her on the show, I thought she was going to be pissed and she wasn't.
But it was more for like we wanted to celebrate the baby and like, you know, just being able to be pregnant, honestly, like with our families.
Like we never thought we were going to be able to do gender reveal parties. So for us, it was more of like the experience, like giving that experience
to our families, you know, we just talk about the fact that I've never had a gender reveal party in
my life. Like this is, this is not a real thing. This is nude for Instagram. This is like, no one
did this until probably like in the last, I want to say like five to ten years well Antonia
Joey's 14 right so it wasn't I would say like within like seven seven years like maybe seven
yes that would make was a push present a thing back then oh yeah I got a push present over here
oh yeah you know what I get bro it's all I want is push present present present this, present that, give me, give me, give me, give me.
Do you remember what you got me for giving you a boy?
Do you remember what my push present was?
What was it?
He got me diamond studs in my ears.
Good ones. Five parrots. They were good.
Do you have any notes over here?
I'm going to start coming up with presents when I come home from work.
It's going to be called the fall present.
I'm going to pick a day in fall,
the men should get a present from work really hard.
What do I ever get?
I ask for gifts.
We don't have a gift.
I keep getting gifts.
I would like a nice gift every now and then.
I'm actually laughing at myself
because he was just laying on the couch
before we got on here with you guys
and I wanted like a little blanket
because I was,
I was laying on the couch
and I made him get up off the couch.
I'm just the gift that keeps on giving.
Oh my God.
Let me ask you guys a question.
Do you, Melissa, do you leave the lights on in your whole house?
Like I walk around, I got to show, even your listeners, do you got, I shut the lights off
all day long.
That's all I do.
All day and then an AC blowing like it's, it's moving in the house.
I love a cold room.
Is that your kids or I love your wife.
And Tony I would leave a track of lights for her whole life and never turn anything like Tony pulls away from the house and
like, she was like the light on for the selfie like every light
in a room never turns off ever. I feel like Gino is the most
responsible everything's turned off and proper and Gino's room.
And Joey's just like on the Xbox somewhere.
He's in the middle, but Tony is the worst, the worst.
Yeah, I get scared.
That's why I turn all the lights on.
Cause if the lights are on, then I have, like, I can see
who else is out there.
That electric bill is just going ding, ding, ding.
That's all it does, the thing spins.
All I see.
My AC is on 64 when I go to bed.
Oh my God, Joe has such a problem with me lately,
too, with that.
I need it freezing in the bedroom.
I put it on 70, which is not like that cold.
He thinks he's cold.
And how many blankets do you use?
Wait a minute.
You sleep in 70 degrees?
Well 70, I make my air conditioner keep blowing
until it's 70 degrees. Yeah, and it's freezing in my room. Freezing. That's a luxury. I make my air conditioner keep blowing until it's 70 degrees.
Yeah, and it's freezing in my room.
Freezing.
That's a luxury.
No, guys, 64.
The thermostat is on 6.
That's actually weird.
That's weird.
That's crazy.
I want meat locker cold.
No, no, it's meat locker cold in our room.
Because our vent is right over our room.
It's a big vent, too.
And it's freezing.
I'm, no, I go to sleep at night.
I shiver my, so.
I agree with you guys.
You're such wusses.
Joe comes in with like, turn that air off,
turn the air off.
And I'm like, no, I fricking love it.
Like it's, it's, it's great.
No, because he gets in bed and he literally,
there was one night that like, he was sick. Oh my God. He was really good. And he got into bed and he literally, there was one night that like, you were sick.
Oh my God.
And he got into bed and he was literally like convulsing and I was like, oh my God, so hot.
Literally same.
They're such wusses.
Yeah, I know.
We're wusses.
But wait a second.
I need to go back to your IVF for a second.
Did we pick, you don't have to tell the gender, but did you pick the gender for this baby as well?
No.
Oh.
We picked the healthiest gender.
I mean the healthiest embryo.
Okay, so this one would be a surprise.
Oh no, you know what it is, but you don't want to tell us.
I got the first outfit already.
Oh my God, I know what it is.
We know.
You can't tell Joe,
because then you'd be giving away the gender.
I'll never tell
Okay, Rachel Fuda
Can you so obviously you did IVF?
There's definitely a lot of girls out there that can relate to that
Can you give any advice to someone who struggled with it or it didn't take did you ever have a situation where one didn't?
Take or something and you had to go back again
So thank God no, I always say whenever I talk about like our IVF journey or didn't take, did you ever have a situation where one didn't take or something and you had to go back again?
So thank God, no.
I always say whenever I talk about our IVF journey,
I give full disclaimer that we had best case scenario IVF.
We did one egg retrieval, we did one transfer
with each of my pregnancies.
We got super lucky.
It was more like us trying to conceive prior to doing IVF.
I did four IUIs, those all failed. But I think the
most important thing is to just give yourself grace, take time, prioritize yourself, your own
needs, your marriage, communicate with your partner and say what it is that you need,
because it can be a very lonely place. It could be a very isolating experience. And you know, having
the support of your partner is really something that will help you get through it. And there
is the light at the end of the tunnel. And at the end of the day, like, it's all going
to work out. God's got a plan, you know?
Right, of course. I think communication is obviously key, right? And even you know, even
though the woman's going through most of the physical stuff, it's emotional for you
too, John. It's like, you know, you get straight punch me in the
face right now.
It is emotional. You know, so I got the bill the other day for
storage, how much I got to pay to store these eggs.
Are you storing like john, how many kids do you want? Are you
guys done after this?
Are you gonna keep going?
Actually, wait, no, we actually just talked about this because I would have another child,
but I don't want to be pregnant again after this.
Like that was always me.
I just wait.
They send me two bills.
One bill is to hold my sperm.
What do I pay for that for?
I'll do it for free.
I gotta pay for this.
Never mind.
I called cancel it.
I'm not paying no more.
And the other goal is to store the sperm.
This is a store of eggs, the embryos.
I got four eggs left.
We have four.
We have four.
Okay.
So.
Listen, don't pay for a story.
That costs money.
Listen, do it the old fashioned way.
You know what you got to do?
What are the plans here?
Listen.
But that's something that people, but Joe, this is something that people don't talk about
that do IVF is that if you have more embryos than you choose to have pregnancy, then you
have to have a baby.
You have to have a baby.
You have to have a baby.
You have to have a baby.
You have to have a baby. You have to have a baby. You have do IVF is that if you have more embryos than you choose to have pregnancy
is like, what do you do with those embryos?
That's a really big decision.
They don't feel bad.
You feel bad almost, right?
Do you sell them?
Would you sell them?
No, well, you can donate them.
Oh, now how much they're worth?
How much?
$250,000 an embryo.
$250,000?
We're not selling our embryos.
Oh, in case those who want to know how much it's worth,
if they're in a financial world.
Wait, what does that mean, the embryo?
So does that mean that would actually be,
whose child would that be?
It would be our child.
Oh, like you mean because it's fertilized,
it's already together.
So if you wanted John Futa and a Rachel,
you could actually buy an embryo.
No, but then technically you're giving away one of your children.
That would be rough, knowing your child is living down the screen. Thank you. I'm okay with it. Call me sometime in
the future. We talk. Oh my god. How much? How much? They're not for sale. Well, you could donate them.
You keep them frozen. You could donate them to science and like research. So if someone came to
a million dollars for one embryo, you wouldn't sell it? No, that's my kid. Because at the end of the day, you would have a child running around, but it would be nice
to help.
I get it.
I get it.
I would give it.
I would give it.
That is a rough decision.
I go see it.
It's a really hard decision.
And I mean, listen, we have time to figure it out because we just paid our freezer fee.
There's some people that can't have a kid.
Maybe I give them an eyebrow.
I make their life.
It's a very personal decision. You need to feel confident and you need to feel
peace in that. That's not something that's like handing over Gigi.
Yeah, not for nothing. I would want to keep a little freezer in my bedroom for life and keep
them those little, what are they called? Embryos. I would like to keep the embryos in the freezer
by my bed because those are my kids and they're going to stay right there. I'm not ready to make them be born, but they can hang there for the life, right?
I would do personally.
100%.
Don't think I didn't think about bringing those embryos home and putting them in my
freezer to save that money.
Wait, didn't Heather DeBrow do that or something?
Didn't she put them in the glass in her house or something like that?
Oh my God, I have no idea that.
I don't know.
Oh no, wait.
No, I think she drew them in there.
I don't think she actually bought them.
You save a lot of money.
Oh my God.
I just remember seeing one episode like a long time ago
and it was like, she had this thing in her house
and she had like one, it was like represented
all of her eggs or something.
Maybe it was not her.
I put them in the freezer, you know what I'm saying?
John, Rach said she'll have another baby, John.
So she don't want to carry it.
So, you know, old school style,
just bring somebody in the bedroom.
There you go.
A baby.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not how this works.
This means you gotta put it in a...
I'll get one of those things that you guys have.
Nanny's, what are they called?
Au pairs.
I'll get an au pair.
Yeah.
And make sure you shoot blanks for about 52 times.
So ridiculous.

Rules and restrictions may apply.
The real question though,
how many kids do you guys want?
I'm being serious here.
Do you have your-
I got no room in this house.
No, we actually don't.
We're booked.
You're booked, so you really think
this will probably
be your last one?
I mean, probably, because truthfully, like,
I was talking to my mom today about, like,
after I had the baby, and she's like, well,
I can't stay by you, because where am I going to sleep?
Because I have my C-section bedroom on the first floor,
because all my kids come out the sunroof.
So I have to sleep on the first floor.
So we don't have a guest bedroom anymore.
Yeah, and that kind of stinks.
I know, because then if your mother comes to help or whatever it is you want.
Oh, we feel so bad for you.
There's no rooms left in that big old house.
Oh my God.
It's filled.
That makes me so happy though.
I know, but that's awesome.
You guys have a full house of children pretty soon.
Jayden's going to go to college, right?
Jayden's looking at colleges.
We just saw you guys doing that. I know. full house of children pretty soon. Jayden's gonna go to college, right? Jayden's Jayden's looking at colleges.
We just saw you guys doing that. I know.
But Jayden's trying to convince me to get a bedroom in the
basement now.
Since when there's no room down there.
So we can have like an apartment down there like
I'm gonna get so irritated right now. I don't want to talk
about this. This is an irritant.
What that he wants a bedroom downstairs.
Perfect.
Listen, when you go through a certain age,
you gotta be able to chill.
He's not a dragon.
Like, what's he gonna live in the basement for?
A dragon lives in the basement, oh my God.
Like, he's not a basement kid.
No, but you know, he comes home,
he doesn't wanna wake anybody up.
I get it.
Are your kids even home?
Because Jaden goes to school, goes right to work,
hangs out with his girlfriend.
Like, he's got his whole like social
thing going on here. Like we're not even in the repertoire
right now.
No, we don't see Gino and Joey from 7am they leave the house
730 every morning and they get back home seven o'clock every
night. And they walk in like, because they go to football
practice for four hours every day after school both of them.
So they both walk in at 7.30 so fatigued
and they walk in like monsters, literally,
like starving monsters that have never seen food
and are dehydrated and they come in hangry,
to say the least, hangry.
Yeah, I just feel like he doesn't,
he's got his own bedroom en suite.
He's got a little living room area.
Yeah, so all right. he doesn't he has his he's got his own bedroom ensuite he's got a little living room area yeah
so all right i think you're i think the futa household is pretty filled up and i think after
this one you guys are gonna be making a basement apartment yeah john nice baby i don't know we
were just in colt's knack and like i think about what he said what he said what did you say i said
think about it you're getting in trouble tonight trouble tonight, bro. Oh, dead.
Oh my god.
Well, this brings me to a funny subject.
Relationships.
I want to talk a little bit.
Now we always want couples.
We love to have a couple's podcast.
So I want to ask you guys some fun like relationship questions.
We can compare to ours.
They can compare their relationship.
I think it will be funny.
So Rachel and I actually today we're talking about because
we were gossiping on the phone earlier this morning. And we
were talking about Rachel, right? Like how opposites attract
and like, right, like people usually end up marrying their
opposite. John, how do you think you and Rachel are opposites?
Like what about you guys is opposite? And then Rachel, I
want to know what you think.
We are opposite. She is uptight. I'm chill. You know, give me an example. We are
up Jayden, for example, the way you parent him reversed the way I parent. Or listen, she is a
type A. Listen, I'll put my cup down. Ready? This drives me insane. I'll put my cup down like this.
I'll walk away. I'll do something with the
kids for two seconds. I'll get in the phone and turn around. My cup is gone. Because it's not two
seconds. It's two days. You leave your shit everywhere. And then I'm looking for it and I just poured this nice thing of water. I made this nice drink.
Where the hell did it go? It's gone. Brand new cup of coffee. No. He made it. He makes a cup. First of all, he uses a reusable coffee mug as a water cup.
That's first of all, leaves it on the dinner table from 5pm.
It's eight o'clock.
I am closing the house.
It's clean up.
I throw it in the sink.
So I sit on the couch, just chuckling to myself, what if I told you this today?
Play on the couch and John's like, Jay Janet comes home, he's ravenous,
like he's so hungry from work.
And he's like, oh, I got a panini in the fridge.
She's like, I got a panini in the fridge
last summer, can I have the present?
And I'm on the couch and they tore apart
the entire refrigerator looking for the panini
that I threw in the garbage yesterday.
Oh my God, story of what happened.
This is a brand new panini, beautiful prosciutto, it was beautiful. I got a beautiful sandwich for you. Come on. I
can't find it. Oh garbage. I was like, I don't know. Maybe
the housekeeper. That's hysterical. The same thing goes
on here. If you leave anything out too long garbage, garbage,
garbage. Everything's in the garbage. They're the same.
These two. They are the same.
Yeah, you know,
what it is a pipe a and you guys are just so nonchalant like
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But like we like things neat and
clean and organized.
Because men are more chill. You know, men are more easy.
Yeah, clearly. No, but I think more clearly when my house is
clean. That's why my house is spotless.
I do too. But if my laundry needs to be folded, I keep
thinking about it and thinking about it. And something makes me
not be able to like, I won't scroll on Instagram until the
house looks good. And I just can't. But Rachel, not
everybody's like that. You know, there's a lot of women who think
we're nuts, too. Like we're over, you know, achievers. But I
have I'm very like clean is everything to me. I couldn't
live any other way. And I also think that it's sad to satisfy my
anxiety, because I can have control over my house. And that
makes me feel better. I mean, guys, enough. Actually, like,
women are just nuts. They're just nuts. John. Let's sit
there and ask me for 2000 things 2000 things do this do that. I
have been asking you for this. I do it all right. I
should be helping out
what I need a plumber for. I
need a plumber because it's
time to change my water filter.
And I don't like that because I
like my water filter change. And
it's been six months, you're
supposed to change it every two
months. And I he we we build
houses and apartments like
Hello, send me a plumber.
He just ignores me like I didn't even say it every day. So I'm going to start really
getting annoyed about this plumber. How about how about send me a plumber? How about five
days almost a week. I'm asking John to unclog my sink in my bathroom because it's so clogged, I guess from
here.
Like being in my sink that it won't drain.
And I'm like, baby, you think you could like call the plumber this week?
You think you could call the plumber?
I think you could call someone to come fix this.
So I'm brushing my teeth in his sink because I know it bothers him to share.
I'm going to start holding out and I'm serious.
Every time they open their
mouth. It costs money. It's
like dollar signs. How much?
It's like money, money, money.
I make a lot of money too, by
the way.
As soon as they make money, they make,
they'll tell you 3000 times.
John, you know how I threaten him?
I tell him, I'm just going to hire a plumber behind your back.
He gets so mad.
I'm like, you're going to come home.
That shit's going to be done.
I don't need your plumber.
I've hired my own.
I overpaid.
And I hired you.
You are overpaid, baby.
Yes, you are.
You fit into my category of overpaid. You got just call Jenner. Oh, you are overpaying baby. Yes, you are. You fit into my category of overpayers.
You gotta see the bills we get, the things that she does.
I go, what?
I flip that.
You know what he yells at me all the time for lately?
The landscaping bills for the shore house
and for this house, he thinks I tell them to do too much.
I'm like, I like it to look nice.
I just like whatever.
Also the leaves that we get in Franklin Lakes.
Oh yeah.
I don't know about you guys. The guys out of leaves crazy. It's insane
I know I feel like our landscapers have been here like twice a week for the past like three weeks just for leaves
No, this is what they get you this time of year
John they're out to get you know, bro. The leaves are falling
falling. Yeah. Leaves are falling. I got freaking leave problems. Like we had a big bear. They had to see the size of this thing. He must have been 600, 700 pounds. Huge. Wait a second. I saw that
on Instagram. You guys were just walking down the street and like there's a massive bear in front of
you. And the babies. Yeah. The babies are with them. The little cubs. They're all climbing in the trees
together. Wow. You got to be careful with that. When we get close to the babies, the babies are with the little cubs. They're all climbing in the trees together. Well, you got to be careful with that when we get close to the
babes the mom will attack you. So you know, yeah,
we first moved in, I used to see them all the time because I
would walk with Gigi when she was you know, in the stroller
when she was an infant. We had this year was really the first
time. How do you know what's the mom and dad this thing was huge?
I mean, that's probably the mama No, I think the dad just
does his thing and goes. They're always with the mom.
It's a typical man.
He's a typical man.
I'm going to assume that's the mama taking care of the babies all day.
That's what you're supposed to do. That's right.
That's what you're supposed to do.
You got to go to work.
Get there and complain.
You know what I did today?
Yeah. You're the bear.
You're the bear.
Oh, who's going to do it?
You're the mother.
This is 50. Welcome to 2024, baby. When I woke, when I grew up, my mother took care of everything.
Well, guess what?
Those days are over.
In my bed.
Your kids are older.
You got Gino with a new car now.
He's hanging.
He don't need anything.
Oh my God, if you saw what I did for Gino Gorgas today, Gino is my best plus most high-maintenance
child.
Took him to the doctor.
You got to take him there.
He needs special care.
He needs to be treated. He needs to be treated. He needs to be treated. If you saw what I did for Gino Gorgas today, Gino is my best plus most high maintenance
child.
Took him to the doctor.
You got to take him there.
He needs special this, special that.
Go get me this.
I'm hungry.
Gino's a lot of work, just so you know.
He's a good kid though.
He's a good kid.
He's the best, but he's also my most high maintenance kid is Gino.
My most behaved kid is Gino. So I put that together
I don't know how to explain that but it balances out. Yeah, like I guess yes, it balances out you guys
I always say this so we could be on different pages and relationships and stuff
But it's always important to be on the same page when it comes to like I say three things right like family
Kids and traveling and I feel like you guys are like that, right? Like family, kids, and traveling. And I feel like you guys are like that, right?
You guys love to travel together. You guys like, I don't know, give us some tips. Tell
my listeners, like, what makes you guys a great family? Like you guys, what are, what
are like important values to the food is good. Oh, you don't have anything to say. He's got
a lot to say. What's the most important thing?
Communication.
Family.
I think one of the most important things that we've learned in getting married and creating
our own family is to prioritize our family, the new family unit that we've created amongst
the two of us.
And I think that that's a learning curve for some of us.
What are you talking about? Like me, because I'm very close with my mom, very close with my dad. So
like creating your own family unit, your own traditions and like doing making your own memories
with your kids. That's definitely something that I feel like has helped us create our own family unit
and like really bond with the kids has been like doing
things on our own. It's like weird to be a parent. Like, I always thought there'd be
like this coming to Jesus moment where I was like, Oh, I'm a mom, which of course I have,
but like, I don't actually feel like an adult. Yeah, I don't feel like an adult ever. I feel
like I'm like, you don't you act like the biggest kid.
I would say that's how you and I are so opposite. Like Joe makes me like, like Joe is just so like,
like he'll walk into the room and just say what he wants. There's zero filter. And I'm like a
little bit more reserved. Like, I feel like you feel like you're my ass. You feel I feel like
you're a kid. I'm not a kid. I'm a grown up.
No, Melissa's more mindful.
You're more mindful of what you say.
You're more, you know, articulate.
Demure.
Yeah, that's cold.
Right.
So just kind of like, what's here is here.
Like it doesn't, it's not so.
Oh my God.
And sometimes it shouldn't be here.
And he just like says it and I cringe.
You know I have cringey moments with him.
Be real.
You gotta say it.
People like when you're real though. They like when you just spit it off the cup. cringe. You know, I have cringey moments with me real you got to say it.
Like when you're real though,
they like when you just spit it off the cup.
They're not gonna be John,
we're not gonna beat around
the bush. We're gonna go
right in the bush.
We're gonna go right in the
bush.
I get the weed back. I start
cutting go right through it.
But to answer your question,
I think that's one thing that
we've done as a couple that's
helped us with our family and
like make made our
family its own thing. And then we really been focusing on
taking family vacations. We're a Disney family now we have our
next trip coming up soon.
My God, I can't take it. They freaking love planning now for
all the parks.
I promise you that's a phase because when your kids are still
like, Oh my god, it's the princess and blah, blah,
blah. The second that's over, you're gonna be like, I never
want to see Disney again.
You know what it is though, to be honest with you. So I do love
Disney and John does too. Like he is totally a Disney dad. And
I'm not even speaking on his behalf. Like that's factual.
I like Disney. I like to see the kids happy. They run around.
You go roller coasters. You have a good time. It's hard. I don't know how people don't like it. I can't stay there for a long period of
time in and out. And that's it. You have a good time.
I think the thing about being at Disney that we both like, that we've realized is when
you're there, you have no choice but to be in the moment. Like you are watching your
kids, you're trying to navigate the park, you're getting on a ride, off a ride,
you're trying to figure out where to eat.
Like you're where you are.
So like the phone is not a distraction.
There's nothing else going on except the chaos of Disney.
And that is like something that it's really hard for John
and Joe, you would empathize with this too,
is like being a working dad, right?
It's hard to be in the moment with your kids. So when we're
in Disney, John really like gets pulled out of that bubble and is like able to be in the moment,
I feel like. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, yeah, I feel like that's why we do family vacations. It's
the only time Joe like puts his phone down most of the time so that we can actually like talk to him
and speak to him. I feel like I've been bitching at Joe a lot lately because
Oh, she does.
Yeah, I have because he's on the phone 24 seven. He doesn't get
the hell off the phone. You don't get the hell off the
phone. And it's always a business call. Oh, my god. He's
been just work stuff. Why are you on the phone so much? When
we go out to dinner, I don't feel like any of us are
like sitting on our phones. I
wouldn't say that about here's
the problem.
Not that we're like on
Instagram, like legit on the
phone, like just having
conversations like with
business people still at seven,
eight o'clock at night. I'm
like, I get annoyed.
Yeah, but if she's on the
phone, right, if I come home
and she's on emails and
because she's always on her
phone, I have to shut up. I'm
not the type I'm very cool. See there's a I have to shut up. I'm not the type I'm
very cool. See there's a
difference between men and
women. I'm so chill. I'm cool.
We drive the car. She's a
maniac.
I don't say driving is getting
more drives. She's got to say
Oh, the Navi says make a left
there. She has to say make a
left there. I just said I just
heard.
I'd be interested. Park over there. Oh, you're parked over there. said, I just heard this. I'd be interested.
Park over there.
Oh, you parked over there.
Oh, I would have found the park.
She goes, I would have found the
parking spot already.
I would have, why don't you
fucking drive then?
He sucks at driving.
Worst driver.
You want a podcast that should be
done in your car with you too.
Driving.
It is hilarious. Wow. We hate each other in your car with you two driving it is hilarious
wow we hate each other in the car you know what i want to know no john i actually just said this
the other day i'm like i think we have to start taking separate cars let's do it like down like
some people sleep she drives like this the car's slamming on its brakes in front of it she's
doing 90 up their ass i'm like what are you doing? And I guess what he does, he's
never back up. I said, You're
not gonna go any faster. He
doesn't pick a lane. He goes in
the middle lane. It doesn't
under register here. No, no,
does not rest talking you then
you come home and she's on the
phone. It's all okay, because
she's on the phone. I'm doing
envy. I'm doing envy.
Let's discuss something we all care about what's on your feet.
And no, I'm not talking about those super cute but actually
torture chamber shoes. I'm talking about G to five shoes,
the shoes your feet have literally been begging for. By
the end of the day, we're all feeling a little broken down
like a reunion special, which is why G2Fi provides two free orthotics with every shoe and a built-in lateral stabilizer
that realigns your body.
Are you sick of feeling like your feet are taking more hits than one of the shady housewives
on social media?
G2Fi's patented VersoShock technology absorbs all the shock and stress so you don't have to guys

I have ever put on honestly and I can literally wear them for hours on end with absolutely no
discomfort whatsoever. Whether you're power walking a brunch
or making a dramatic exit, these shoes have your back and your
feet. Who knew comfort could be this chic and shady right guys.
So if you're still walking around in shoes that scream I'm
suffering honey, it's time for an upgrade.

The cars beep at him.
The cars behind us beep the whole time Joe drives because he doesn't pick a lane. He just
You drove hold on
With the Atlantic City and the boys were in the backseat and you knew where the front and I have a sister three Hail Mary
I'm just gonna die in a car. It was that day. Yeah. I mean you guys are equally horrific drivers
I'm an excellent driver and I heard Gino drives like a little grandpa
Because he's scarred by his mother
Fucking kid is scarred. He don't ever want to go over to speed limit. Wait, does he drive like a grandma?
Does he he never Jayden said he's like a very cautious driver.
That's what he said, which is good.
I'm so proud of him.
We were just on the parkway, right?
You know how the car starts slowing down?
You see all tail lights.
Melissa's like, weee, 90.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Slow down.
Where you going?
I'm trying to flip. But my heart's like this. I'm having a heart down. My heart's
like this. I'm having a heart
attack.
Can you tell me for this,
though? Seriously, the
difference between Jonah? Yes,
I'm fast. I have very quick,
like I'm quick. I'm quick. I
have quick instinct. But I'm
I'm very alert. We're just
kind of
out what the phones are, what's happening?
Oh, I'm like, Jesus Christ, pick a lane like, yes, I'm fast,
but I'm assertive. I know what I'm doing. I know I'm gonna
break at that last second.
So you know what I do? We should talk about this in a
relationship. I never bitch at it. Never.
Yes, you do. You bitch.
No, what I do now every time in the car, I just give it right
back to her. Oh, what are you doing? You're in a
slow lane. Why are you in a slow lane? Get to the fast lane. I
would have been near what do you Oh, slow down. Oh, make make a
right. Oh, there's Oh, you don't like it. How do you like it? And
she's like, shut up. He's so annoying. We always drive
separate. That's it. We're over together. And I say you don't
like it. See, here's in a relationship, right? In a
relationship, you treat people like it. See, here's in a relationship, right? In a relationship, you treat people,
you treat your wife or your husband
the way you wanna be treated, right?
That's number one.
So I treat her the way I come home,
hi, beautiful, oh wow, look at you.
You're gorgeous, you're beautiful.
I gotta touch your face.
Because you want sex.
I give her a hug.
I like that outfit.
Look at you, babe.
You know? Now you think you ever get that back. Look at you, babe, you know
Now you think you ever get that back? Yes. Yes. Yes
Hurry up and get the plumber. Oh stop. He's just got see you you guys. He went on a bitching fest. He started getting out. This is a couple. Are you done? Did you get it out yet?
The funny part is we saw Joe in the road a couple weeks ago,
right? So I'm like, Oh, that's Joe slow down. She goes, what the
car that this looks like a road that address.
Oh, my, I can't we all tease him with the work truck. I don't
even think the front tires are touching the ground
No, you know what happens? They're not
Definitely not that trucks only a year and a half old right?
Serious and serious he runs
1987 I know it's one year old soon as the car gets a dent on it like a little scratch. I'm like, ah
Forget oh so what dent the whole way? I don't forget it. Oh, so what? Dent the whole rest of the car?
I don't even care anymore.
Oh my God. You're crazy.
Yeah. I'm crazy. Yes, I am. Crazy.
All you do is like Melissa.
Do you guys not fight in the car with driving or does one of you drive bad?
Well, they always break my balls because she's always driving because I'm always working.
So I'm always working and someone's busting my chops.
How come you never drive? I drive.
Oh, john, you work too, john. Oh,
I got a job.
Here, though. You're always working. You know, I work from
the morning till five. That's it six. I'm home. Imagine a
husband's that don't come home till 1011 o'clock at night. Not
for me would not be my husband.
Not my most of work.
Most people don't realize I hang out with the kids
and then I go back to work downstairs
and do all my office work home.
When everybody goes to bed, right?
You stay up late, John, right?
When Rachel and the kids go to bed,
you kind of stay up and do things.
I've actually, Joe, I've said this to you before.
We, what happens is like when John's ready to work,
people are like, what are you gonna do?
You gonna go to bed? And I'm like, uh. Like he's ready for you guys all to get out and so John's ready to work, people like, what are you gonna do? You gotta go to bed? I'm like,
like, he's ready for you guys all to get out. And so he can go
to work. Like, no, it's only nine o'clock. Oh, tired. You
don't want to go to tuck you in. Oh, my god. You want me to go
to bed now? Okay, so I guess you want to go to work. I'm like,
go to the office. Like, I'm fine. Like I could like I can
walk upstairs and tuck myself in, you know,
I like me at night. So he'll like put me to bed so that he could go to work. Like that's the that's like the schedule that we have. But to answer
your question, I drive most of the time because I would rather have like my full focus with the kids in the car on the road. Right. And
I'm also like, I listen to the GPS and like,
I'm very like, I'm a rule follower and John's not.
Wait, who's the rule follower?
I know, but who is the rule follower?
You or Joe?
Me.
In what way?
Does that even question me?
I know, I'm just curious.
Maybe those don't know it.
I'm, I follow the rules.
No, he doesn't even understand what a rule is, John.
And you don't either, John.
You guys are not rule kind of guys.
Let's be real.
No.
Oh my God.
The funny part, see, when we first started,
the more I got to know you guys,
the more I saw how close we are to you both.
Like a like, you mean?
Yeah, like Joe is who I am in the future.
It's kind of scary.
Oh shit. Hey. Hey. This is,, like Joe is who I am in the future.
This is john. This is your future, bro.
We are very much alike. I noticed that you guys are you're funny. Good people, man. We're good men. You know what you're
a man. We're good husbands. You're right. You women should
lick the ground. He says you women. What do you want to say?
I want to jump through the
screen. What do you want to say
you girls?
I think I think that Melissa and
I do just as much as you guys,
but it's not the same type of
work. No, we don't we do a float
that you guys don't that goes
unseen to your eyes. Like we're
worried about different things
than you guys are. You know
what I mean? Does that make sense? Yeah, it makes perfect sense. You guys are like some of the last
guys left, I would say that are like, you have those old school, like traditional values. And John,
you do too. Cause how old are you, John? You're only what? 30 what? I always forget how old I
will be 37 in November. 37. Yeah. And. And you very much so have that like old school Italian vibe to you.
You really do.
And there's not a lot of guys that are like in their 30s or even late 30s that have that
anymore, you know?
So I think that's why you and Joe clicked instantly just because you have that and just,
right?
Like the Italian side of like that old do it. And I think that's the way to do it. And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it.
And I think that's the way to do it. And I think that's right? That's it. The Italians want to take what you got. It is kind of true. They see something.
It is kind of true.
Oh, you don't have to tell us.
We know.
We live it.
Guys, they see a nice car or house.
It's not his car.
Forget it.
He put everything there.
He's going to lose it.
Don't worry.
Wait.
That's how the Italians do it.
Don't worry.
They're janked.
They're putting it on them.
He got the car because he got it from something.
His dad, his mom.
You know, they'll make some shit.
Meanwhile, the Jewish people, they'll make some shit.
Meanwhile, the Jewish people, they look out for each other.
No problem.
You need work.
I got you.
They give each other work.
They lift each other up.
I like this.
You see, I like it too.
Maybe we got to all convert to Judaism.
I just converted to Catholicism.
What the hell?
Okay.
Well, switching gears, John and Rachel, both of you, but John, let me ask you first.
What are your thoughts?
Are you happy that you joined the Real Housewives of New Jersey?
I think I know some of these answers.
I just want to know, I want to know, honestly, because I know you can't say 100% either way.
I know you're not going to sit here and say, oh my God, I hated it.
I wish I never did it. And I know you're not going to say that was
the best fucking thing ever. And I'm not going to say that either. So like, what are your
true feelings? Like, what do you really feel about it?
Yeah, tell us, John. Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, obviously a good
amount. But my buddy over there had painted the picture when I started. He just didn't
paint it as clear as it should have been,
maybe, but-
Are you talking about Joe Gorga?
Yes.
What are you talking about? I'm confused.
Yeah, Joey gave me a good heads up on things.
Oh, like when we were joining the show, you mean?
But when I started, listen, it was fun.
It was exciting.
There's some perks to it,
like little things that become cool.
Like she's getting a bunch of maternity clothes.
It's like, well, a lot of people reaching out.
Lots of perks.
That stuff is cool.
But the way that, I really don't like the way
that they basically put the men down
is I'm gonna be straight.
I think they put the men down.
I think they're abusive towards men, our careers.
And I'm here to support my wife.
That's why I really came on this.
So I'm on it now.
You know, I feel like my name has been tarnished a little bit from
something I did when I was a juvenile, which makes zero sense to me.
To answer the question.
Well, I get it. You're answering it basically because it's a double-edged sword because
there's a lot of great perks. But I do agree with you though that the men usually do get
the shit end of the stick like a lot of the time and you guys get you guys get dug into
pretty hard especially when there's wives like Rachel and I and there's other franchises
I can mention too where if you're not giving them something right for them to come and
hang you with they're gonna go for your husband
and figure out what he did so they can get you.
You know, so.
Here's what happened.
Here's what happened this year.
I was the only target left for them to go after.
That's how I calculated it.
But the men bring such a value to New Jersey Housewives
and the Housewife franchise alone.
You know, Joe has really spearheaded a lot of joy.
A lot of men come up to me,
oh, thankfully we watch it, our wives made us,
I'm so happy to see you guys and now they're into it.
We just did an Italian feast.
I can't tell you how many men came up to us
and were just happy because literally your husbands
were bringing joy to their face for years
and now I join and they're happy with me,
but they like it and a lot of guys do get into it.
I just don't think the network embraces it the way it should be
Men do love watching the Real Housewives of New Jersey. It's our franchise more than any other franchise
Obviously because I think ours our show is more about family right than anything else. So you'll see our men the most you'll see our kids
The most and I do think every, listen, Joe and I have been
out working in these streets. We've been out there, we've been working, we've been doing a lot of
appearances and the men are there and they're all, they like love you guys. They love to watch you
guys. You guys are comedy. It's, it's like, just like something they can relate to, even with the
family drama, like a little bit, they're, they're into it. Even with like the husband and wives,
when you have like a little husband and wife
argument, men like to see that because men are kind of like, see, he feels like I feel like,
you know, oh God. All men feel the same way.
But I also think too, like on specific to our franchise, like it's gotten so dark that,
thank God for the guys, because what light and airy and fun would there even
had been without them, you know?
So I feel like they also really helped balance our show out, like in that camaraderie, like
kind of brings it all back home and like shows that like we are somewhat a group of friends.
Right.
And like those relationships are authentic, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
And that we actually do have families and we're like real people.

coming out again about our show? Like, oh, yeah, these three
are staying everyone else is going like, it's it's so stupid
and you know what I have to say I'm I'm actually
proud of now watch this will freaking come out next week but like that never has it ever once
said Melissa Gorga is saying never once has that been said so that should be proof to Bravo and
to everyone else that is definitely not me that talks to these people and plans stories
because never once has it ever said
Melissa Gorka is staying, ever.
I just think that everyone, like, I mean, even us really,
like everyone's so curious, like what's gonna happen
and like how they're gonna play it
and are they gonna reboot the whole show?
Are they only gonna keep a few of us?
Or like, what are they gonna do?
That any little like nugget of information that people can grab on like,
yeah, I know a ton of girls that have interviewed for the show, like a ton.
Oh yeah. Tons.
They know less than I do. So it's like, you know,
it's all just kind of like they have to just see where the chips fall and I
guess like figure it out, you know?
Right.
I think you're purposely seeing rumors repurpose cause two people have nothing
to do in their day
And they don't actually have a real life and they're just pushing and pushing and pushing to make a narrative because they haven't learned their lesson
Yeah, I just I just think it's so crazy. I'm like just let it be like who is feeding these stories
So again to my listeners out there, please know that the rumors are not true. They are all
fagasy. They are not true. It's not real. And like there's zero decision. I don't even think
they're discussing the real housewives of New Jersey over at 30 Rock. They are not. So that's
that. And I just think it's funny. Now we're talking about the show. I'm like, I have to
throw this in here because it's so funny.
Let's see how many more times we're going to read that like a certain three people.
It's kind of become like a hobby of mine.
Like I think Jen Fessler had said that a while ago.
Like it's like a hobby at first.
Like guess what's going to happen?
Because now I like I enjoy going on Bravo and cocktails and like reading the blind items
just to see like what's floating out there.
To see who's reading it, who's reading it, yeah.
Yeah, like I like to be like,
oh, so this is the rumor like this week.
Oh, they got this information.
Yeah, and shout out to Bravo and cocktails.
They're one of my favorites.
They came on the podcast. I love you too.
Everybody loves when they were on the podcast.
So they were former guest once.
We love them. They're awesome.
Some of these rumors are sad.
You've got one of the
biggest political elections in history, and they're still
pushing housewife narrative. It's really crazy.
Oh, my god, you know what, you're right. Are you talking
about the Mendez brothers?
No.
We're not talking about the Mendez brothers.
Now they're an interesting family, those Mendez brothers, is all I want to talk about.
Now, they're an interesting family, those Mendez people. They're very interesting.
I'm obsessed. What murder are you talking about?
No, I'm not talking about a murder. I'm talking about presidential history over here.
Oh, he said election.
We had an election in less than a month.
This one's a whack-a-doodle.
I thought I heard murder. Did you say the word murder? I did not say
murder but let's talk about the Mendez brothers. Okay anytime anything you want to say just
let me hear it. I mean these guys are about to get so much action and on Netflix they're
gonna remake their documentary. Do you think they're getting out? Do you think they're
getting out of manslaughter? Wait can I ask you guys something a question though? I do
in this crazy world. Wait what what what like reincarnated there?
Because I watched their story on Dateline or 2020 like years ago.
And then all of a sudden it all came.
But what like made us all come back to the surface?
I think the doc, I think the show like the Netflix, the Netflix show that came out just
made us all watch it again.
But I know Kim Kardashian
was doing some things. Yeah, I think it was the Kim Kardashian that she went in there
and was like making it a thing again.
They did serve 35 years.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time.
It's a long time. It's a long time. It's a long time So I don't know. I think they served their time. Right?
I'm gonna go with I think they've served their time because if you compare things that people and how long they've been in jail, if they were abused, and now that there's proof that they were abused, I don't know. I think they're gonna be released. That's want to place bets? Anyone want to place a bet, Joe? Are they gonna get released? I think they're gonna be released. That's that's one of place bets. Anyone want to place a bet? Joe? Are they gonna get
released?
I think they're gonna get released. I say yes. Rachel,
what's your thought?
Now diddy? Diddy spook.
Oh, wow. That's a whole nother. Oh my god. I can't even get
all I stay up late on the late night TikTok scroll and I'm on
Diddy talk.
Yeah, that's just depressing. That is just depressing when I
read about that. It's like such a letdown.
I'm so mad about all of that.
So I can't.
No, but like we need to like stop supporting
these people too, like ew.
Oh yeah.
All right, well we all placed our bets.
We all think that when that trial comes
that they're gonna be let go.
So let's see who wins.
And if they do get let go,
I mean they're gonna have more Netflix.
They're gonna get, wait, everybody.
I'll be honest with you. You know how much money they're gonna to have more Netflix. They're going to get wait, everybody. I'll be honest, you know how much money they're going to make?
Who gives a shit?
You just lost 35 years of your life.
I know.
That's true.
I mean, that's crazy.
They both got married in there.
I think that's the most shocking part of it all.
That's nuts.
Yeah.
But it's like what happened to Gypsy Rose.
Like she got out, right?
And then she had this whole life, right?
It's the same thing.
Yeah. It's the same thing.
Yeah.
It's like the roller coaster, like post time.
What happens if they come out of jail, right?
And they married these women because they were in there
and then they come out and they're like,
shit, look what's out here.
And they get divorced.
You know?
Probably what's gonna happen.
Probably what's gonna happen.
Aw, that would suck.
Like that girl married him while he had nothing and he was
behind bars and she couldn't have sex with him and then he gets out and he starts, you know,
smelling the perfume everywhere and he's like, gotta go. Oh my God. There's gonna be women
throwing themselves. Oh my God. I know they are gonna throw themselves at you. They're gonna
make a lot of money though guys. They're gonna remake a lot of documentary. They're gonna make
money. Wait, did you watch Secret Lives of of Mormon wives? I only watched like a couple
I thought I was gonna love it and then it got to like
For me, I was like, oh, I actually don't know if I want to keep watching this
There's so much tea going on right now. I know our relationship things that you brought up earlier
We don't watch the same thing here. We's got her stuff, I got my stuff.
Oh really, you guys do watch TV together at night or no?
Not really?
No, I watch gangster stuff or sex, drugs.
I watch Hocus Pocus.
Hocus Pocus.
He goes, I watch for sex, drugs, rock and roll.
I can't, I can't, you know what it is?
He, like, I don't't know I can't compartmentalize
So when I watch something, it's all encompassing to me. So like if I'm watching something scary
I carry that anxiety with anxiety with me for days. Like I'm just anxious
So like I I haven't done that in so long Rachel the Mendez brothers this did that to me
I was on well on well
See, I can't.
Asher, Joe, what do I walk around singing all day?
You can sing it.
Do you know how to sing it?
Yeah, that stupid song.
All day long, all day long.
Let's hear it.
I'm like, dimes, dimes, motherfucking dimes.
But what else do I sing?
This song, I sing Milly Vanilli all day long,
all day long, Milly Vanilli.
She's in the shower, I hear her in the shower.
Dimes, dimes.
I'm like, yo, why don't she call for my husband's penis, penis, penis.
I mean, fuck.
Dimes, dimes.
I'm like, listen, I think she's calling me.
I'm like, what is she saying?
Mother fucking dimes.
Best part of the movie.
Come in this bathroom and motherfucking me.
Oh, hi, hi, hi.
Wouldn't that be nice?
Do you guys watch stuff together?
Do you guys watch the same things?
He has no choice, yes.
We watch TV together, because Joe's not allowed to.
I am the best husband.
I am so chill.
He falls asleep three minutes in half the time.
I am, believe it or not, I'm the easiest guy ever made.
Even as a partner very easy going.
All right, so let's talk about glam studios guys before I let
you guys go because I cannot believe I've had you on for
almost an hour already. But glam studios, we got so many questions.
Everybody was asking us about it. People are confused. A lot
of people are like, what is this business? What are we doing? So
why don't you take it away, guys? Tell them what we're doing
here.
You just grab it the best. Go ahead. No, good. So basically,
glam is basically sweets that people in the beauty industry
can rent out. Obviously, if you're a hairdresser you can get a suite you do makeup you grab a suite
But a lot of people don't want to work for anybody anymore
So they want to be entrepreneurs so we give them the space to come work underneath us
right, so basically guys we you know, we are going in on this business together and
We would be like their landlords in a way.
Yeah, it's not only hairdressers.
It's if you do nails, if you have you do Botox,
if you're a chiropractor, if,
if you want your own little space, this is what you can do.
You can come in and rent your own space, your own room.
There's different sizes.
You know, a lot of, a lot of, it's very well known in the hair world.
A lot of girls don't wanna work in a big salon.
They wanna make their own hours.
They wanna have their own space.
So you rent a studio.
Well, look at these girls.
They're getting a cut in their business.
Very, very little money.
So they're bringing in,
your clients are going to see whoever,
let's say it's Susan.
All the clients are going to see whoever, let's say it's Susan, all
the clients are going to see Susan, and she's given most of the money to the salon.
So take the clients to yourself, and you're going to make 10 times the money and work
for yourself, your own hours, and be an entrepreneur.
That's it.
Right.
So that's what we all did.
We designed a studio space that's beautiful.
It's in Norwood, New Jersey.
So if anyone out there is looking to, you know, be their own boss, get out there and
rent a studio space and wants to come through and see it, please follow Glam Studios New
Jersey.
You can DM them and they will get back to you so that you can make an appointment.
It's just about finished.
You guys could come through and pick your space and actually pick your room before it's even done,
which would which would probably be the best scenario for everyone.
I'll be honest, it's very inexpensive. You know, when you find very inexpensive, yes,
it's affordable. It's very, very affordable. You're going to see it, you're going to be like,
wow. And, and let's say you're putting in 80 hours, 60 hours, 50 hours, you're going to see it, you're going to be like, wow. And let's say you're putting in 80 hours, 60 hours, 50 hours, you're going to work half
the hours and make more money, guaranteed.
Yeah.
And there's also an option.
So say you want to go in on this with a partner, the two of you can rent it and pick your hours.
You're there from nine to five, someone else works from five to 10, like totally up to
you, however you want to do it.
But you know, guys, take it from me,
it's great to be your own boss.

make sure you guys check out Glam Studios New Jersey.
