Sexy mature is like you get a different bikini for every day of your vacation, but you have
a 401k.
Alright guys, welcome to another episode of on display.
This one is going to be a fun one today.
They're the girls from the incredibly successful podcast. The Lady Gang, I had Becca on a
while back, but now we've got the whole gang here together with me. So please welcome from
the Lady Gang. I have Becca, I have Jack and I have Kelsey. Hey, hi, we're having us.
Thanks for coming out. And also, you know what Melissa, you're already in trouble.
Thank you for having us. And I'm going to point something out. The note specifically said,
we're not going to use this video. So you guys don't have to come make up or like come pretty.
And we've come, I don't know how the other girls are feeling, but I've come full nasty. You've got a beautiful looks like designer sweater on a barrel curl wave in
your hair, a perfect cheekbone, I lip gloss, a manicure. You're not fabulous. So I don't
know what this note, we missed the note of you don't look like trash and that's not fair
and we're leaving.
All right. I am. This is, by by the way I always pop on a little.
First of all, you're my favorite guest I ever had.
Thank you so much.
I do put lip gloss on because I keep it in my podcast room because and I have zero makeup
on it.
I know you probably don't believe me, but there's lip gloss.
So it's deceiving.
I had Botox done yesterday.
So I feel like everything, you know, when it's the next day, everything's
a little swollen and like a little, so I'm feeling healthy today. So I'm feeling healthy.
Yes, I'm feeling healthy. But what's up with you, girls? You guys are all so cute. Can I
just say that first of all? And you're, you're cute, even with no makeup on or whatever you're
trying to say. You guys look so cute with all you little headphones on. And I'm very happy to have you guys.
This is my first podcast I've ever had three guests at one.
So this is fun for me.
This is entertaining.
It's a for some.
Yeah, like I almost want to just like sit back and listen
to you girls.
You guys have an awesome podcast on podcast one that is killing it.
So congratulations on that.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. It's called The Lady Gang. I know that you guys do the segment, okay,
on your podcast. It's called Good Week Bad Week, right? Yeah. Very popular. Okay. So I
just want to see real quickly if you guys, I would love to tell you about my good
week bad week. Please, if you'd like to hear it, because first of all,
it's only today's what Tuesday.
So we don't have a lot of days happening here, right?
But today, today was my bad day.
Today was the bad day, believe it or not,
because my employees at NV threw me for a little loop today.
We had like a little lady drama at NV.
And I will say that my employees are always very, very great.
They're amazing shout out to all of them.
Today we had some like weird little drama
that I haven't had to deal with really in a very long time.
So I was stressed out.
I was trying to work out this morning.
I took a little class.
My phone was ringing and ringing.
And the other girl was calling.
And then the other girl was calling.
I was like, what is happening here? So, I had a little retail drama.
My good thing was we raised money for charity this week for kids with cancer
with an awesome event of like this huge disco. Do you guys ever hear about this?
The world's largest disco? No, it's in Buffalo, New York, which is such a
random. Yeah,
random. Buffalo is a good party city, though, because if you live in Buffalo, you drive
to I'm Canadian, and I know Buffalo because you all the Americans that were
20 not 21 yet and couldn't drink would drive over to Buffalo, where it was 18.
And so you drive from Buffalo to Canada. Yeah, they drive from Buffalo to Canada to party
and then they go down.
And that's why we have so many American, Canadian,
babies and marriages,
because they met in Canada at the bar.
I think they met in Buffalo at the bar or in Canada.
In Canada, you go like Windsor, Ontario or wherever
and you can go drinking three years earlier technically
than I mean, we were all drinking 15 and are the basement of the party.
But you know, officially you can drink at a bar and go to a club.
So I'm not surprised there's the world's largest disco in Buffalo because it seems
like.
It's happened.
People like to pop.
What is the world's largest disco even in tail?
Like what goes on there?
10,000 tickets sold all in the big convention center
and Buffalo, New York in sanity to say the least
and every single dollar, including what you put
in the tip cup for the bartender goes to the charity
with kids with cancer.
To this shit.
Yes, it's called Good Days.
It was amazing to do.
So that was a great part of what was Sunday.
What did you wear to the disco?
So I wore a purple dress that was from Envy,
but it was very sparkly and it could totally be a disco.
I put the little doo raggy in my hair there
and tied it in a knot and put on the purple sunglasses
and called it a day and I looked very disco queen ready.
So it was good and it was like raising a lot of money.
So I'm like, you know what, I actually have a good week,
bad week thing to contribute.
So I want to be like just like you guys in contributing.
Yeah, I was a good one.
It was not pretty good.
Yeah.
Do you guys have anything interesting?
I mean, I do.
I have so much. I mean, it do. I have a thing. She always
always has a thing. She always has a thing, right? But, um, you know, my, um, you know, my
good week this week is I recently was taken aback by, I think it was a TikTok I was watching
or maybe it was in therapy. I'm not sure like what part of real life or fake life this was,
but someone was like, Oh, I remember now is my acupuncturist and she was like well Calty
It's your own fault because you have all the tools, but if you don't use them
I don't know what to tell you because I was feeling like shit and she was you know whatever and so then I have been
On a big health journey this year
But I got really into the veggies and my health
But I forgot about my hormones and the progesterone cream.
And this is like a lady of a certain age.
And I'm in paramanopause, my period keeps getting worse
and worse and worse.
And my PMS gets worse and worse and worse.
And my periods are heavy and terrible.
And I don't, I'm so sorry if there's boys that listen to you,
but, Melissa, I'm bringing this to you.
And so anyway, this month, I really focused
on using my progesterone cream for the 14 days before my period was coming.
And guys, it fixed everything. I mean, my boobs are a little
sore. My boobs are a little bit sore, but I switched between
wrists and boobs every night before I went to bed. My PMS was like
almost not existent. I didn't have the huge breakdown. I
didn't have the cry. I got my period this morning. And I was
like, oh, Kelsey, you have the tools if you use them
So if you don't know what I'm talking about listen to Lady gang
We had a hormone expert Candace Birch on twice she talks about progesterone cream and like how it changes your life
And you have the tools and so that wait a second you don't understand
Did you know that I'm going through this exact thing that you're talking about like I literally just found out
OmniMik because of my ridiculously heavy sorry boys period and I'm the way I PMS the way I the whole thing. So you're telling me that cream will fix it all.
I mean, I don't know if it'll fix it all, but a neemic I have dealt with this year and
I have a, I mean, I'm not even going to get this is not a health coaching podcast. This
is a fun pop culture podcast, but I have thoughts. I have thoughts and I'll DM you about that. But no, very similar boat about that. But hormones and like what
we go through and how old are you now? Sorry. Really?
Age 44, 44, 44, 44, yeah. So I'm going to be 42 in January, which is mind blowing because
I swear to God, I'm still 27. But in our 40s for the year, until, you know,
we start going through maybe menopause at like 48, 52,
whatever, like this time right now,
our bodies, like my periods are worse than ever.
And my acupuncturist was like,
I was like my periods are so bad and I'm so weak.
Like my body is literally like, I don't,
I can't possibly do it.
You know what I feel like?
I feel like I'm in a horror movie or like, I'm in Voldemort and Voldemort is like, sucking out't, I can't possibly do it. You know what I feel like? I feel like I'm in a horror movie
or like I'm in Voldemort and Voldemort
is like sucking out my soul every time I get my period.
There's nothing left.
And she goes, she goes, yep, Kelsey, that's what happens.
It gets worse and then it's gone.
And I was like, oh my God, you're speaking to my soul right now.
And I'm actually getting depressed as you're talking,
but this is exactly what's happening in my life
and my doctor did not say any of these things.
They literally are like you're anemic from heavy periods and you have 10 years to go.
So like let's infuse you with iron.
And like I don't know. That's why I keep puncturing us and like some Eastern medicine is really important.
Okay, well me and you are going to DM just so that we don't bore everyone with period talk.
Well, Sharon Stone is on our podcast this week.
And Sharon Stone told us that you can go and get your total uterus
if you're finished having children laser
doff.
So you never have to have a period, again, even
cauterized.
Cauterized, yeah.
Yes, it's called, first of all, Sharon Stone.
Yes.
Like a guy, an icon.
Icon.
But besides for that, that is exactly what they said to me an
Oblation I think yes, right and we just had this talk like two weeks ago on this podcast because I was like
Freaking out that I'm anemic and I need an oplation so you and I Kelsey are gonna have to like DM a little about this because I
All other side podcasts on podcast one
Uterus is with Melissa you to share and raved about the ablation and then I have a girlfriend who did the same thing and she was like, it's a game
changer and so you don't bleed anymore.
You might need to do it.
I know.
Why would I do it?
Hold on.
I'll tell you why because I went to my doctor and I said, I want an ablation immediately and
he said, you've had three C sections.
It's very dangerous and I'm probably not gonna give you one.
And I was like, no, no, no, you're going to give me
the equation.
I need the equation desperately.
So now he's putting me through testing for sonogram,
whatever, whatever, whatever, but I need an equation.
That's the end of that talk.
But for real, it's the serious thing that happens
in a girl's world.
It's no joke. And truly, I do feel like I'm 20. No, I feel about 32. Honestly, I feel like I'm like 31 32.
I act like it. That's it. That's my age.
That's what I, I, I feel I feel like I stopped it early 30s and I just refuse to acknowledge that it's not anymore.
Well, I know what's also happening. You don't really feel any different, either.
No.
I just don't.
I'm like, what?
I think the same.
I act the same.
I might be a little more successful.
But other than that, it's better.
Everything.
Yeah.
Like, everything else to me feels the same.
You know what other question I want to ask you guys?
So just cutting off this good week, bad week.
One of the other situations, when I went to this disco, okay, I was, it was me and a couple like,
there was the Brady Bunch guy. He was Peter Brady. What is his name? Um, I don't know, he was
Peter Brady. And he's named Chris Knight. His name's Chris. Yes, Chris Knight. Yes, there was Chris
Knight. There was a guy from LA law who was like a big
Why I job so bad with names, but there was somebody from LA law like he's very famous guys
Been a lot of movies has done a lot of things and I don't know if you guys know 902 or no
But I'm sure you do but um I and zering was there and I was totally
I was totally fan-girling because when you're growing up to these shows and think they're untouchable, like, Dylan and like Brandon and these guys, and then they stand in front
of you and they're normal, nice guys and went to lunch.
I was like, I am literally having a fan-girl moment.
So no, but my question is really like so when you fantasize about these people
growing up or whatever it is and you think they're untouchable and then fast forward 20 years
and you're like having lunch with them, it's awkward, it's a little weird to like sit there
and admit that like I used to have a major crush on you and like we're just sitting here casually
and sharing a fry and a soda. Like it it was crazy. You guys never had that.
Kelti, you just had it with someone you interviewed.
You said, have you ever been in the same room
with your teenage crush?
Who was it?
Jerry Hallowell from The Spice Girls.
No, no, it was a guy.
Oh, Scott Wolf.
Scott Wolf.
Oh my gosh, you remember Scott Wolf from Party of Five?
Yes.
He was at E News the other day,
because he has a new Christmas movie with Lacey Shabair.
And Lacey knows that I love Scott Wolf
Because I talk because they're both hallmark stars and I talk about them all time and Lacey's like healthy of surprise for you
Around down the hallway. There's Scott Wolf still with his hair flipped up at the front like 17 again
Yeah, there's just something about running into it's when it was like a teen star when you were like
It was literally in like 15 13 fan-girling and then when it becomes like a teen star when you were like, I was literally in like 15, 13 fan
girling. And then when it becomes like weird when you actually see them and you're standing next
to them and your husband at the same time, it's just like, it's always kind of funny to me.
It's even like Joe got annoyed the other day because I've always had a crush on
Dr. McDreamy. Like I just always have and he's just he just got announced people's most whatever
that is the sexiest man alive and the girls my envy girls bought me every magazine you could
that he did because you know how they do multiple covers and Joe comes home and I'm like
seriously and I'm like and it is weird because one day you can end up just standing next to them
and it's just like an on thing it's like it's when you feel like a little funny about the whole situation, but true.
Yeah, so all right, good.
Well, I like the Good Week, bad week stuff.
Can we please talk about the term that Kelti
kind of like owned this right last year or maybe
it's called sexy mature.
Can we talk about sexy mature for a minute?
Jack, can we take this?
Jack, please find, tell the like origin story. That's just so funny about sexy mature.
Yeah, please do. Like about a year ago, Kelti was in her like Instagram fame.
I mean, she's always in her Instagram fame, era. She's just trying to like get the most
likes, get the most followers, get the most praise. And she was posting all these different
photos. I don't remember which photo it was exactly on, but to try to boost her
engagement, she was using all of these different hashtags. And I think that
she put one hashtag in maybe a hashtag generator. And that generated other
hashtags. And I was looking at one of her photos and I'm like, oh my god, what
the hell is
Hashtag sexy mature. So then I click on it and it's like all of these It's like almost like soft porn images of all of these like middle-aged
huge-moved women
like
scantily clad
Like definitely having only fans on the side that they're trying to promote. And then it's Kelsey trying to like take over this hashtag.
And I just thought it was the funniest thing.
So I brought it up during one of our good week bad weeks.
And from them, from then on,
it kind of just snowballed into this thing
that now Kelsey has taken on because she is sexy mature.
Like this is her era.
And I am just obsessed with it.
That is so funny.
I mean, where is a way of life?
Sexy mature is like you, you know,
you, you get a different bikini
for every day of your vacation,
but you have a 401k.
You're sexy mature.
Like you have it.
You, you know, you stay out of the sun.
You, you garden with a giant hat on
and you hike with a giant hat on
and may wear a driving glove to protect your skin,
but like you will wear a
horrid dress in Las Vegas to go out to a club
and dance with your friends on the bankette still.
Sexie.
Wait, so do all three of you dress sexy mature?
Would you all consider yourself
sexy mature? You can't find one item in my closet that would fall under that
category. Like, never been sexy mature. She's been, she's been like her mature.
She's been, I accidentally shopped on a website for years that was for women
with religious constraints. What? It's a hot guy.
I can't take it.
How old are you Becca?
How old are you?
I'm 35.
I'm 37.
Oh my god.
You're just like that girl.
Is she the most low key?
Would you guys say like the most chill?
No, she's so chic that she can't wear a turtle neck in the summer.
I love covering my body
I in a very in a very stylish way let only Becca can pull off and she's also tiny
She sure and like teeny tiny it so like it works for her in a way that like
Kelsey and I wouldn't be able to do this website in my defense was high-end stuff that you also would find it like Nata Porte and
Moda operandi but it they had essentially only bought the items from the lines,
like Zimmerman, what can you buy
where an Orthodox woman can wear it?
So it's like high necks below the knee.
I was just gonna say it sounds like it's for the Orthodox
or HISTORY or that's what you jumped on.
It was called like modest.
Modest.com.
No, you did not and it was modest dot com
The modest I don't remember it's it's debunked now which does it makes me so devastated
I haven't even able to find it
Not enough people shop to you don't mean you don't mean there's not thousands of women out there wanting to find a
$1,700 dress that covers your whole body.
Jesus. You know, I see like sexy mature as like a girl who still hot, but like she wears,
okay, you got the pencil skirt on, but it has a slit up the leg and you can wear the
turtle neck, but like it's a tight fitted turtleneck. I see it as like an expensive,
classy hot chick. Sharon Stone.
That woman is wearing orthopedic center shoes
and she's taking heartburn medicine
when she's eating dinner.
Like, you can do it all, ladies.
It's like, I look, I'm doing street style in New York,
but I also'm wearing an adult diaper
because you never fucking know.
You know what I mean?
Sexy mature.
You're making sexy mature for freaking 60 year olds.
That's what you're doing right now.
It's both.
It's both.
Sexy mature is like two glasses of wine
and you feel like you've been hit by a train the next day.
Yes.
But like you're still look chic
and you're still gonna drink expensive wine,
but you're gonna feel like garbage the next day
because you're old and now you get hangovers.
Yeah, you know, you're stretches
because your sciatica is really flaring out.
Right. Sexy mature is like, your stretches because your sciatica is really flaring out.
Right.
Sexy mature is like your hair color is perfect ball, bally
edge, but that's only because you dye your hair every four
weeks because the grace come in fucking fast.
So you're sexy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That means you're sexy mature for sure.
This hence why I have curls today.
I saw my my hair girl this morning.
They look great.
I didn't put makeup on though. You know the feeling you get when you finally find the thing you've been searching for
on the internet after spending hours researching and reading thousands of reviews, you find
it. This thing, whatever it is, it checks literally all the boxes and it has like five
stars, right? Oh, and it arrives in just 48 hours. So
why is it that you can get the most random, wonderfully reviewed thing from around the
world in just two days? But if you want to see a good doctor, it can take forever to get
an appointment. Not to mention, how do you know they're even good? Thankfully, there is a
way. It's called Zachtoc, a place to find and book great doctors
who usually have amazing reviews,
many with appointments available within 24 hours.
Zachtak is a free app where you can find amazing doctors
and book appointments online.
We're talking about booking appointments
with thousands of top rated patient-reviewed doctors
and specialists.

your insurance, are located near you, and treat almost any condition you're searching for.

Okay, so hold on, speaking of sexy mature.
What about the, have you guys seen the TikTok trend where like Gen Z is bashing millennials
for their fashion and like calling them like, like they're trying to are, they're cringey. I think they call them like
chuggy or something. Chuggy. Chuggy. Chuggy.
Are you honestly chuggy? I mean it's where it's at
Melissa. Chuggy's at I like it.
You're so chuggy. Chuggy is the Jersey version of
chuggy. Wait, if you know me on the housewives or even
like you I'm known to butcher words so it would not be a podcast
unless I
butchered something so I think we should just change it to Chuggi is it Chuggi? Chuggi. It is Chuggi
that's what it but we're changing it to Chuggi. Yeah like Chugga Chugga. You know? Yes. Well okay so
why like are you guys seeing this you know I have a daughter I got married very young and I had a
child very young and my daughter daughter does this to me.
Like the skinny jeans, every time I put a pair of skinny jeans on, which, hello, I like a high
boot. I live in New Jersey. I can't put a high boot on unless I have a skinny jean on. So once in a
while I have to wear a skinny jean, she rips me for it. Like the second, and she's 18, the second I like walk out my bedroom.
She's like, why are you wearing a skinny jean?
Like she like, jit can't stand it.
The side parts, the whole thing.
Even like leggings, meanwhile,
she's like a leggings every freaking day
with a big oversized hoodie
that you don't even know what she,
what's going on under there.
And like, this is just like a thing.
Is anyone offended?
It's like everybody is obsessed with us.
That's what I've decided.
Like boomers are obsessed with millennials.
I don't know why.
And then the Gen Z are also obsessed with millennials.
Like everybody just loves to talk about us
because we're jealous.
Because they're jealous.
Is it?
I'm not going to be jealous about.
But it's just so weird.
No other generation gets ragged on the way that millennials do
from like both sides.
It's just so true.
But also millennials, like, were the first internet kids.
That's why it hence millennials.
So I think we're the first people that really ever
started to be exhibitionists with our style,
our lifestyle, we're the first exhibitionist. I think it really triggers Gen Z because
they're trying- They think they were first. They think they were first. Now they think the way
that we show off is somehow Chugi, but really we're just the originators of this entire world.
So Chugi, it's a little Chugi, yes.
And the Chugi ladies.
Chugi ladies.
No, the ship of Gen Z's are doing are so embarrassing.
It's just like wait a few years,
wait until Gen Alpha or whatever
his next gets a hold of them,
because like, that's so embarrassing.
It's bad.
Here's it, like you think millennials are bad.
Like, no, millennials are terrible. But I'll tell you what to all the men when it's your wedding
in 10 years, Gen Z and someone plays a video of you doing your sexy dance and
mouth in the words to a song.
Oh, yeah, I was supposed to be sexy on TikTok.
You're gonna want to kill over and be sexy mature or like whatever because there's there's so much
That they're sharing that no one should be sharing, you know, and I the reason we can't make fun of boomers is because no one took any photos
Right, there's no photos. There's no evidence
There's zero evidence of anything they've done in their past like zero and half of our lives are pretty clear
We have like half-life clear. Yes. Other half is not. Yeah. You know. And they're like the first generation that
they are all aspiring to be YouTubers. Yeah. That's embarrassing. That is. You know what I agree
with you? I love that you just kind of say it out loud. I also think they're introverts in some type of way, though, just like in social
settings, right? So they're not behind the computer or with their cell phones, they're
not. But in a social setting, they are very, they're not great, right? Where I think
millennials are better and I just feel like they're very odd in social setting.
They're having less sex. They know, like they've done studies now and teenagers now and kids and their people
in their 20s are having less sex than we did because they are social skills,
no social skills, and they're getting everything they need at their phone.
Like they want to see tits.
They're going to open up freaking whatever and see some tits to see boobs.
When when we were in high school, guys had to really try. They
had to work. They had to have game. They had to be the life of the party. They had to have
some party like they had to work really hard. So then they see boobs and they're in person
and then that's when sex happens. But I'm sad for them. They're not having sex because
they're not even getting to see boobs in real life. There was this TikTok that I saw of
a millennial girl
and she was just like, I am asking all the Gen Z out there,
like, what do you guys do?
Like, what do you do for fun?
Like, what do you do when you're free time?
And all of the answers were literally like nothing.
Like, back in the day, we were going and hanging out
at Jack in the Box, and like, going hide and see,
or like, whatever, going to the, whatever.
Force party is, I don't know what people did.
Roller skating.
Roller skating.
I went to the mall.
I got dropped off to the mall.
I get you just sat at the mall.
I sat at the mall for four hours a day.
Like people don't do that anymore.
They just sit in their rooms on their phones and it makes me really sad.
It's the same thing.
They have no social skills.
They don't know how to make friends outside of their phones.
It's harder to date.
It's a bummer.
It's good for us, Melissa, because you're on TV, and I'm also on TV.
What's great is that we're sort of irreplaceable, because they keep trying to hire some bitch
with like, Dunger and TikTok followers to host television shows and every time it backfires.
They've tried so many television shows with YouTubers and it never works because you're
good at talking to your screen like this, hey guys, I love it.
And then when there's an audience, you're like, I can't talk.
I'm like, you know, so what's good is we're going to be on these TV for a long time.
Because we know what?
Yes, yes, I'm going to say yes.
You know what they try that shit with housewives, too.
Let me bump a newer younger
Nope, you need the personality. Keep it where it's at you need the people who know how to deal with humans and real life
Wait speaking of Bravo and Bravo con. Yeah, didn't Kelty you were there, right?
Okay, so what were you doing? You news interviewing everybody? I can't remember if I saw you
I mean obviously did I see you on the carpet? I think we did. Maybe I'm not sure.
It was a blur. I interviewed I think like 300 people within 20 hours.
And both of my bosses were there. So I just don't even know what I asked
for you. She blacked out. It was crazy. You blacked out. You were like,
I want to. I mean, it was really good this year. Like, I feel like we had a good time.
I mean, there was a lot of stars.
And it was really fun to see the fans freaking out.
Like, oh my god, this was my first bravo con
that I'd ever covered or been to.
And it was like, y'all were Elvis, Presley, or you were the spice girls for me in high school.
Like, people were running down the hallway after you guys.
Like, the last one, the last picture!
Like, it was crazy!
It was so exhausting.
I mean, listen, it's a great moment for Bravo and NBC
and the fans and all that.
But by the time you leave there after three days,
you don't want to see a human being,
not even your child.
Like you're just like, no one speak to me.
Don't touch me.
And I just need to take a shower and I need to decompress
because that was, it's a lot.
You know, it's a lot of talking.
It's like, it's just a lot.
Do you have any crazy, any interviews gone bad
when you were on that carpet?
Anybody say anything crazy?
Give me some juice.
I, I gotta be honest, I was very interested
in the Salt Lake drama because I wondered why
there's the new girl who's on,
who's not even a housewife or has money,
so I don't know why, but she came.
Which one?
You know the girl, she's new, she's got kids,
and she bought the fake bag, or the fake,
the one with the mom,
she is the official housewife, isn't she?
No, she's a housewife, what's her name?
I can't remember.
You're asking me.
I know Lisa Barlow and Meredith.
Okay, so they all came separately,
and I was like, oh, that's so weird,
she's a new one, usually they all came separately and I was like, oh, that's so weird. She's a new one.
Usually they like would put a new girl with the elders or the veterans so that they like really,
and then I found out after that Heather Gay and her are in a massive lawsuit because she would
pay her beauty bar bill. Yes, Monica. Monica. She got all this filler and stuff and I was like, well, if Heather gay,
if I made an appointment at Beauty Lab, I would assume if I was a housewife that she
was comping me. Like it's, you know, like I would have one housewife.
One housewife pays for Botox. That's what I'm saying. So I think she, I think Heather
may some, I don't know if something happened on the new season or what, but I was very surprised.
Heather Gait in general is the biggest surprise to me because I don't know what it is, but the way that they shoot her on Salt Lake,
she is like a beautiful woman, but in person, she is very cute.
She's tiny, tiny, tiny, short, and like very pretty and very cute. She's tiny, tiny, tiny, short, and very pretty and very cute,
and there's something about the way they shoot her
on housewives that she always looks,
just not put together messy.
I just don't think she's just really pretty in real life.
So that shocked me on the red carpet.
And, you know, I mean, it's like,
it was really fun to watch the levels of housewives
because it's like some of them, like when you get airaged at Kajayn on a carpet, it's like, it was really fun to watch the levels of housewives, because it's like some of them, like, when you get air to your kitchen on a carpet, it's like she knows exactly
what to do.
She knows exactly who she is.
You get some of those girls from Dubai, and they don't know really what they're doing.
They don't know how to own it.
So that was fun, but I was stuck in that one room, so I didn't, that's all I saw.
Didn't you guys just have Ariana on your podcast?
Yes.
A couple weeks ago.
How was that?
How was she doing?
She's really thriving.
She's crushing it on Dancing With The Stars.
She did the ultimate revenge move, which was so she and Tom, when they were together, put
out the cocktail book.
And then after the break up, she did the cocktail book by herself and
a new one, like a new one. So it was kind of like, I don't need you for the
sequel, get out of my life. And so it's like the sexy book. And she seems great.
Yeah, I mean, listen, she's on every commercial in America. So she's doing just fine.
Great.
Literally.
Lemons out of lemonade out of lemons. Yeah, Melissa, what do you know about Captain Jason?
Oh, oh, okay.
So he is very handsome.
He was at watch what happens live
and they kind of like embarrassed him a little bit.
Like they were calling out like the single girls
to look at him and maybe date him
and try and find him a girl.
I don't know much about him at all personally, but I do think he comes off so kind and sweet.
I actually thought Bryn and I think they would have heard of him in New York.
Did you think? I don't know. I thought I saw something on like some Bravo fan thing about them
having some flirtation, but I can totally see that happening. I think my husband's hall pass is Brynn.
When you watch his house with me,
when she watches housewives with me,
it's like, I've never heard a grown man giggle
or be so in love with a character on TV.
He's always like, oh!
I think he wants to be in a room and have her flirt.
Me too, me too.
But yeah. She wants to see the a room and have her flirt. Yeah, me too, me too, but yeah.
He wants to see the flirting in action right to his face.
Like in his face, boobs in her face.
Like she really has a magical vibe.
Yeah, I appreciate the flirting.
I can see a lot of women though getting intimidated by her.
Like if she was in the room,
because especially if you have any type of like
insecurities or you're like the jealous type,
I can see girls getting like, oh my God, get her out of here.
She's gonna like, she's gonna blink her eyes at my husband
and I'm gonna lose my shit.
Which is kind of like Jack Vanneck in a way.
Like Jack is so tall and so beautiful and always dressed lovely.
And like people always are like, you know,
when she's in an airport, you're like, who is this girl?
Because she's like wearing something.
She's wearing-
Maybe not an airport. Not an airport. No, an airport she's dressed an airport, you're like, who is this girl? Because she's like wearing something. She's wearing maybe not an airport.
Not an airport, no, an airport, she's dressed like this.
No.
But Jack, the music festival.
Abuse a festival.
She's like Akko Challa in a thong bodysuit
with a sheer skirt and a combat boot up to her knee.
And you know you did it.
So don't shy away from it.
I have a photo proof.
And you're like, who is this bitch?
She thinks she's so hot.
And then you meet Jack.
And she's like, let me tell you about my favorite
This murder in Philadelphia and also here's my collection of frog photos on my phone and you're like, oh, okay, you know, you're like, okay
She's fine. She can hang out. Yeah, you're like, oh, she's nothing to be afraid of
She's like if she was a dude she'd never get laid like that's how nerdy Jack is
Really, but you know what it is Jack you're a natural beauty everyone loves a natural beauty
We back down. Yeah, yeah, do you guys watch bravo? They do have a favorite show on bravo all of you?
Yeah, I mean I I am bravo
I'm obsessed I have to watch bravo the dopamine in my brain needs it. I'm obsessed. I have to watch Bravo.
The dopamine in my brain needs it.
I think it's the most enjoyable pastime because it's aspirational.
I love the dynamic women.
Whether you love them or you hate them, they're dynamic, they're interesting.
Some of them are delusional, which is so entertaining.
Um, my favorites, I am an OG New York, like Bethany Aira was really when I fell madly in love,
but ever since then I have watched every single franchise and I fall in and out with some,
like I watched Miami in the beginning, I didn't, when they were on peacock. I didn't want to pay for peacock so I was like, buy Miami. And then I
stopped watching. I watched New Jersey from start to finish. I mean I cannot
wait for the new season. I am. What did you think? What do you think of all the new
girls on which on New Jersey? On Jersey. Yeah. Well, like the new girl. For this
current season. Yeah. So there's Rachel, there's Danielle,
there's Jen Fessler.
Oh, okay.
I Rachel grew on me so much.
From the beginning of the season to now,
I really like her.
I think she's genuine.
I think the storyline with her adopting her,
I don't know if the adoption went through,
but her son, yeah.
Her son.
Yeah. That was really, I don't know. the adoption went through, but her son, yeah, her son. Yeah.
That was really, I don't know, I really liked her.
Jen Fessler was a slow burn for me, but I really appreciate her.
Right.
And then who's the other, who's the other new one in Jersey?
Danielle.
Danielle, Danielle, the blonde kind of like loud one.
Yeah.
She's a little bit louder in your face.
I think she's funny.
I think she makes good TV.
I felt bad for her last season.
I don't know how it shakes out in this season.
I think she got a little bit of a pile on last season.
Yeah, you know what, she actually, the fans loved her.
The fans loved her.
I feel like this season that you haven't watched yet.
Woof, she gets it hard this season, I feel like she.
Really?
Yes, so it's always, the first season's one thing
and the second season is always another.
I feel like she feels like she went through it this season
a little bit, so.
Yeah, you can never judge the first season
of a housewife ever.
Like you can never judge what they're gonna be
because I've been wrong every time,
after someone's first season.
I was hated, like I was the evil.
You were so hated.
The first season, I came on, it was like I was the most
hated human, I was like the evil sister-in-law
that was only money hungry and would leave the husband and all these things and why who is she and she must be a horror and like.
And everyone got to know me and everyone's like what there's nothing of this sort but that's what the you know that was put out into the world the first.
Season it is a 180 it is a full 180 usually it's. Wait, I heard your huge fan of the golden bachelor.
Oh, yeah. Well, I'm not like a huge bravo person. I like casually watched Vanderpump rules and I
casually watched um summer house, but then of course in scandival and then now with like the
Lindsay and Carl Fiasco. I'm like back on to both of those things,
but yeah, I'm a bachelor girl like through and through.
You love watching heartbreak.
Yeah.
Well, I'm like, for her breakup, she's in.
I need a love, I need, I need, I need, I'm a huge fan
of reality TV, but it has to be like a dating,
like dating has to be in the forefront.
So I'm like, love is blind.
90 day fiance married at first sight.
Like I'm like that kind of girl.
You want all the lovers things you like loving.
I want to watch the love.
Yes.
Oh my god.
I do everything about the boats.
No.
Wait, wait, can I tell you I don't either.
And it's the number one rated show on Bravo.
It's really.
We're gonna have to start doing boats because people are like, after I went to Bravo Con,
I got so many messages from our Lady Gang fans that were like, does this mean we can have
a below deck person on Lady Gang?
Because we have housewives all the time.
Don't be.
And we have swap out the cast like every season though.
There's like the captain.
There's people that stick around like for multiple seasons.
I really like the boat.
I was a late entry to the boats,
but I really like them. I think they're really not that calling it the boat.
The boat's calling it the boat. The boat. It is, when I tell you it kills it, it kills it. It does,
it does so, so well. On display with Melissa Gorge is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

with you guys before I let you go. It's gonna be called like getting to know the gang. Okay, so we're gonna go around with you guys. Becca, Jack and then Kelty. Okay, so what is something
you're certain you'll never do in life? Like what is the one thing you know this is never happening?
Skydive. Skydive. Oh my god. You're still mine. That's my answer. I'm the only bitch that's right on this.
Jack Dunnett.
You have not skydived.
I've skydived and bungee jumped.
Holy shit, can I just tell you?
I decided when I just flew back from Buffalo
from the world's largest disco.
And we were taking off and I had a moment
to look out the window and I said,
could you imagine skydivers right now?
Like literally would just,
because it wasn't that high up yet, but it was high up enough
where I was like, so right now you're telling me they're just like,
okay, I'm gonna jump and hope that when I pull this fucking little thing,
it saves my life.
Like are you insane?
It's like crazy.
I will say I'll never do it again.
I just like needed to do it just so I said that I have done it.
But like it is pretty damn terrifying.
But bungee jumping is scarier because skydiving,
you just like kind of have like,
there's no awareness of like how far you are up there
or like what's happening.
But when you're bungee jumping,
I bungee jumped off a cliff once and you like,
you feel yourself like diving down to that cliff.
So they're both pretty scary.
I mean, what if you have like a brain, what diving down that cliff. So they're they're
both pretty scary. I mean, what if you have like a brain, what if your brain gets so,
what if you pass out because you got so nervous that you literally can't focus and like
you go lightheaded and you don't pull the thing? Oh, well, it is attached to somebody.
Oh, all right. Somebody else like does it for you. There's no way I would ever do that. That is that's terrifying.
So, wow.
I, okay, okay.
Good.
So tell me, girls, what makes you different from most people,
each and every one of you?
What makes you different?
Oh my God.
Becca.
What makes you different?
Oh God.
Is something besides the fact that you want to be modest
all the time.
Well, I mean, I think I've pretty, that kind of is different.
I shop for religious clothing and are not religious.
Yeah, there you go.
Kelti, anything?
God, there's a lot with Kelti.
Yeah, unless you listen to a different kind of girl.
But I think for me,
I am an incredibly social person who has all the jobs in talking to people, but
I actually like really hate people and I don't want to be friends with anyone.
That makes you different.
I like it.
It's true.
I feel similar.
I don't think I've ever met another girl in my life who has had more of an obsession
with Jersey mics than I have.
So that's how I'm doing.
Yeah.
She loves Jersey.
Oh my God, I'm your girl.
I'm your girl.
I die for Jersey mics, subs.
I die for them.
I do this.
What do you get on your Melissa?
Oh yeah, Melissa.
So I don't do cheese.
So I just do turkey, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper, oregano, and vinegar, a little extra vinegar.
Oh, interesting.
But let me just tell you, I know it doesn't sound special,
but there is nothing like biting into that thing.
It's the most incredible sandwich you ever had.
I think it would be my last meal.
Like I really do.
I've had a conversation about this recently with my husband.
And I'm like, that, I think that's going to be my last thing
I eat in life, if I know my best.
Well, don't get it from the LAX airport,
because every time I've had Jersey mics at the LAX airport,'s still bread. It's still bread. Well airport sucks you can't
do that. I mean, it's still better than most. But like they would think like as it and also
that Jersey mics there's nothing else like that good around like you're you're really only have
one option at Jersey mics you would think that they would make it a special Jersey mics like they
don't have to. I don't have to.
It's the best.
I love that Jersey mics is worldwide.
OK, so this one's a little bit dark,
but I saw this on Instagram.
And I thought this was like a really interesting question
for each of you.
You can answer.
But would you rather know when you're going to die
or how you're going to die?
Like which one?
Yeah Melissa!
Sorry, but like I really want to know because I was thinking about it and I'm like
I don't know if I know the answer to that. Like what I want to know when it's gonna happen or how it's
gonna happen. You have to pick one. No I don't want either. I don't want either.
I know, but if you had to, I would say how I'm gonna die.
I wanna know how.
If you know how you're going to die,
depending on what it is, you could kind of know
when you're going to die.
It true.
I can.
But if they think of it as a childbirth.
I can't.
No.
Oh, shit.
Sorry.
I can't say it so.
Oh, Mark, this is a crazy question.
This is a crazy question, This is a crazy question.
But if you think about it, it's like, damn, I don't want to know either.
That's like the, no, I think I'd rather just know when, because if I knew how I wouldn't
get in a car if they tell me one day, we don't know when, but you're going to die in a car
accident.
No, at least tell me you're going to die in 20, 56 so that I can chill until that.
Right.
I think that's of this for you.
You can go skydiving.
I know you're not going to die.
That's what I know that I do all the riskiest things.
I want to know when because we're at the age where we're all saving for retirements.
Oh, yes.
And that nest egg I have is like, you know, it's like it's getting up there because I'm
going to retire, you know, at some point.
And it's way more than I had in my 20s.
And so I'm like, I wanna know when,
because if I'm gonna die in 10 years,
I'm not saving to live until I'm 85.
I'm gonna crazy net jets.
I'm never flat on jet blue, comfort plus again.
Ah.
You're going mint baby.
You're going to all the mint.
Mint, mint, baby. Yeah, for sure. All right, you guys can answer this together
I want to know about you guys a little bit who's the most likely to get canceled out of all of you who would accidentally get canceled
Kelty Kelty
Who's the quickest to get angry me back?
Becca, uh-huh who's the quickest to forgive?
Becca Becca who's who's the quickest to forgive?
I feel like neither one of us were still very angry about things like that. No, I don't think we Yeah, we move past things pretty quickly. Yeah, you guys you're a bunch of girls working together talking
about things all day. You must know how to like work it out. Yeah. I mean, if you ever do get into a fight, who's usually started it?
If you ever get into an argument over something or disagreement, who usually starts it?
It's usually Becca bringing it up over something Kelsey did.
Yeah, it's usually me addressing something that Kelsey did her said.
Yeah, 100%.
But again, if I didn't get so angry, I probably wouldn't even need to address it.
So it's like, you know, you know, I'm taking ownership here.
Exactly.
Okay.
And who is the most housewifey out of all of you?
Who is the domestic girl in the group?
Becca.
Probably me.
I mean, I'm the only one with a child and you're sort of forced into it once you have a kid.
Yeah, you have no rights.
Domestication.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think Becca would be a great housewife.
I think Jack will never be on TV again
I think I would be a great housewife
Because I would really do the costuming well like I would really she would give you a look
I give you an airca Jane like every day
But also I don't think like I have enough going on or friends in my life to have you housewife
You would have to hire friends. Yeah
going on or friends in my life to have you housewife. You would have to hire friends.
Yeah.
Kelsey doesn't gossip.
I try to get Kelsey to gossip all of the time
and she just refuses to do it.
Uncapable.
Uncapable.
Really?
I feel like she would be off this.
Melissa, we could get off this interview
and I could call Kelsey and say, oh my gosh,
did you know Melissa, what's the craziest fucking thing
you could ever?
And Kelsey would be like oh cool
I got to go and she'd hang up like she
Really you're not a gossip or at all?
No, no, it's I wonder why?
Missing the chip of whatever that is to be a lady. Yeah, really I tried so weird because I tried to gossip once and Becca did this
Say I had I wanted a gossip about something that happened recently and I was like hi and I preempted and said I need to gossip once and Becca did this say I had I wanted a gossip about something that happened recently
And I was like hi, and I preempted and said I need to gossip here's what I would like to gossip about
Here's the topic and then Becca did what I do normally which is like it was great. They love each other
Oh, and happy
Yeah, and then and then I was like is this what it feels like when they try to gossip with me because it was so
Stimulating unfulfilling. I was like this is why I don't gossip because there's nothing gossip with me because it was so un-stimulating, un-fulfilling. I was like, this is why I don't gossip
because there's nothing, well, it was,
it wasn't a gossipable event.
If you ask me about something that's actually gossip worthy,
I'm gonna provide for you,
but I'm not gonna embellish what's not there.
Right, you know?
But no, I would think Kelsey's so gossipy,
I'm in shock over this.
I know everyone's secrets.
I know all the stuff
Before it happens, you know my pop culture wise. I know where all the affairs are
All the divorces on a Friday afternoon after TMZ tapes like I know exactly how every I know
I know who's calling the paparazzi
I can see the name by the paparazzi when it goes up on splash if it was a call
Like Emily Ratatowski,
I know you're calling Elder every day.
What is Elder?
Elder's a paparazzi in New York
and he gets her every day walking the dog.
And I just run a dog like every,
and I can see on splash.
I know him as well.
I know.
I know.
No, I'm not saying.
I've called Elder Tons.
Like I'm not saying I haven't called Elder like I call elder. You know sometimes when I
Love that we're calling him by his first name. You know, he's gonna be so excited
But like I can tell on splash like witcher and by the way
95% of pop-rotsie photos are called pop-rotsie photos. It's impossible
It would be humanly impossible for these people if you're not at Taylor Swift's house or coming walking into movie premiere
It's impossible for these people to know where you are at what time they would make no money because they would sit outside
Wherever they whatever hotel hours and hours and hours someone came the studios are giving you a heads up
Emma Stone is gonna be here today because she's doing a press junk at the crossby hotel
That's why there's ten pop rotsies outside other Other than GMA today show and Taylor Swift's house, everything
mostly in New York is of pop rotsie call. But anyway, I agree with you on that. I agree
on that. Girls, this has been so much fun. You are like the best lady gang going. I love
to be part of your little lady gang today. Thank you so much for being on this lady.
You need to come on the podcast. Yeah, come on.
