How many dinners can we possibly eat together? That's the real question. You know what the problem is is when they go to sleep and they dream. mornings are going to wake up together? How many dinners can we possibly eat together? That's the real question. You know what the problem is, is when they go to sleep and they dream, when women dream

and they wake up in the morning, they look at you, you're like your son of a bitch. What does that have to do with any of this? What did I do? You cheated on me in your dream and then they're really mad at you. That's what sucks. And you got to deal with them 20 years later They still believe their dreams. Yeah, I mean I definitely have had dreams about you and I do feel like dreams are a Little here we go. It's a gateway to something that's gonna happen or might have happened already You never know I believe in those dreams the dreams happen for a reason I dream a lot about mermaids talking about mermaids. Oh god. Come to my comedy show. Come to my comedy show August 17th at Harrah's. I know. All right.

So she didn't need to worry about any of the drama because Rachel and I are are there for the right reasons. And isn't it so we're not judgy bitches. It's something else Danielle is on this side now. Yeah, it is like that side. She was like, damn, I see the light. Yeah, fuck that side. That side is shady as can be. So we might as well come to the good side. And happy and nice, you know, yeah, I think you know what Danielle and I didn't have a great

start because this cast is so divided and Because she knew my sister-in-law first I feel like she didn't have a chance to really get to know me and I didn't have a chance to really get to Know her but it's weird because we were both more compatible probably than anyone else. I really love Danielle now. We have so much fun together. She's so great. So we are doing that event on the 24th and then Danielle and I, if you're down in Tom's River or Seaside, me and Danielle are doing the ocean view restaurant together we're having like a fun night there that you can get tickets for in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, right on

I remember this. I start thinking all the girls I used to hook up with, those were the days. I used to write my... What? That's what you remember? Not just like cruising the strip and being a normal person like everyone else. Hell no. It was

nice when you just met one of those girls. You're like, yo, what's up, baby? You're going to be the one tonight, you know Nobody cares and then and then back then there was no phones There was no phones so you had it you had it like, you know You get their number you would write their number on your hand or like on a piece of paper and you'd be like Yeah, that was the brunette with the yellow shirt Yeah, like give yourself a little like like Little like notes cuz you didn't remember you hooked up with so many

The next day you call up and you're like oh, that was the blonde. Let me see. Oh, you were a whore You're the whore whore. Oh You're actually the whore not me baby, I love it. Oh my god guys wait till you see well But before we get into the real housewives We're gonna get into the housewives in a second because I'm gonna lightly touch on that as well But just going through all the appearances. I feel like I'm missing one. We're also gonna be in Boston We're gonna be in Boston. So all my Boston peeps come see us in August when are we going to Boston Joe? Is it like the 15th? I have no idea. I feel like it's August 15th

I'm gonna be in Boston. Oh my gosh, there's so many things happening. We're busy bees. So that's that. Another thing I wanted to tell you guys is that I'm so appreciative of you that I wanted you guys all to head over to envybymg.com. Okay, and I'm offering you guys 15% off my whole entire site

just for being the best mal listeners in the world. So use code on display and you'll get 15% off everything at Envy. And I have- Oh, that's nice. Yes, from my people out there. And I have the cutest stuff in right now too. Like all like really, really cute summer dresses

That is my decision. Oh, I got nothing to do, but when the air conditioning breaks, I got something to do with it.

Well, the air conditioning broke, and then you have something to do. But I am paying the fee for the air conditioning that broke. I didn't pay all the fee, no, no, no. Envy's paying the fee, so let's not get on the high horse too much there. I always get screwed. That is the one thing.

Tell the people Joe, this is the one thing that's on me. It is, it's all you. You know what I love about it? He doesn't even know what's in the bank account for Envy. That's nice. I won't show him. See, that's nice. It's amazing when a woman starts making money, she wants to hide it.

I'm not hiding it. It's none of your business. He's got to give it. I don't see all your money from your buildings. I want to see every bank account from every building you own. You want to go there? You see everything. You know everything.

You got me a lock. You do. I do. You're just not very... You're not good with the computers. You're not social... What is that called? You're not great at... I'm not into your... I don't really care. You're not technical. That's the word.

the mailbox is like you have never opened mail in your life actually and if I didn't keep up like your second assistant over here like making sure that you do the right thing all the time like well I don't even know so there's that I get the mail. So it's always has the wives are always into the men's stuff they are they look at everything and the men don't look at anything. It's the truth. That's not true.

Women want to control women do want to control you they do they want to control you Nobody what I keep saying like no no they don't Yeah, a wife wants to control a man. They want to know everything they do you need to control opening your own mail That's what you need to control. That's what you need to control Okay, but getting back into like the housewives a little bit guys, because I'm just going to touch on it because obviously I'm not able to do a full recap, but I know you guys are watching. I was Joe, were you not dying watching back the scene with my mom like and watching her giggle? I can we please tell them what she's first of all,

there's a lot of like people love her and they think she's hysterical and they think she's so funny. But then there's the other side of people that are like, Oh, she's definitely an alcoholic. She's definitely drinking a lot. And I'm like, Oh, my God, she barely ever drinks, which is so funny. But when she's out, or she's filmed, like she's the most fun, right? Like, how would you explain her? Like giggly, sweet, fun, like she's the most fun, right? Like how would you explain her? Like giggly, sweet, fun, but she is not a drinker. So she's not that girl who's like, or that lady or that woman who's like at home,

there is not a bottle of vodka in her house. There is not a bottle of wine in her house. None of the above, but like if she's out, she's definitely gonna have like a cocktail and she always copies everything I do. She's just like, Oh, I want to Cosmo like she copies but tell them what she is when she films Joe because it's so funny. Like it's, we don't even know what to do when we film with her because we'll tell

them she's just hysterical. She just gets she gets laughing giddy and she's just awesome. I mean, how can you not love her? She's just giggles uncontroll mean, how can you not love her? She just- She giggles uncontrollably to the point where she thinks she's like, she doesn't get it. I'm like, mom, no, just talk normal. And she's like, oh, oh my God, this is so crap. Look at these camera boys.

Why are all these people here? And I'm like, oh my God. Like, and she's actually like, she's got her shit together. She's very like, but she's so giggly and like funny on camera that like me and my sisters die when we film with her because it's just funny. And she just comes off that way on camera. And she just, I don't know, I just think it's hysterical.

And we had like, you know, she was talking about power of the P, like how funny is that? Power to P, she don't even use it about power of the P like how funny is that power to peace? You don't even use it power to pee that she refuses to use power to pee But she doesn't we don't she don't even know how it works. That hasn't been anybody No, because she doesn't want to have sex like literally she's like no no No, I just want to go to Atlantic City All I want to do is have someone to go to Atlantic City with it someone to go to dinner with I'm like

Well, then you better find like a really old man. I mean she's she looks amazing. That's another thing Thank you for all the love on Donna Marco.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So when I get older, just put me in one of those. Exciting. My dad used to always say, what are you doing? I know when I get older, you're gonna try to put me in one of those senior housings. Only if he knew.

Put me in one of those. Ew, bro, you're gross, what about me? I love that, I'm just gonna walk around my cane, right? And just knock on the door. You know what, I'll probably be ready to dump you off into there at this point. So you know what?

What else? Tell me what else you noticed from the episode. Before you go further, you know what's happening to me? I'm getting this line in my face.

I sleep on my pillow and I know you're not supposed to. And what's happening is I I get it looks like a scar But look, it's getting this line See it. Yeah So moral story is don't sleep on your face Don't do it Suppose to sleep with a little neck pillow so that you stay like this and so that your face doesn't get smushed and it's not Making you you know,

making all the lines. I'm seeing a line here and a line here now. I do sleep with a neck pillow that I love so I think everyone should sleep with one of those. Yeah, but if I could start with the neck pillow, I will, but then I always wake up with my face in the pillow. I know, you're terrible like that and you're starting to get your little lines. I just yelled at Joe the other night.

I'm like, you need to start doing the things. Like, you need to put on all the eye creams and you need to put get your little lines. I just yelled at Joe the other night. I'm like, you need to start doing the things. Like you need to put on all the eye creams and you need to put on the face creams. Like you need to take care of your skin the way that I take care of my skin or else I'm just gonna out beat you when we get older with looks here. You know what I mean?

I'm just gonna look a lot younger. But I think the more- Which I already am five years younger than you by the way. Yeah, but I think the more that you treat your face like that and you put all these delicate skin creams on it and you go out in the sun, you get more damaged. I think the harder you keep it...

No, you need to put the cream on. That's what I believe. I'm sorry. You know? And I don't think the creams do it. I just think you make your face too delicate. Any other thoughts, Joe, from the Real Housewives of New Jersey that you watched in that episode? What else? Oh Oh the fashion show the fashion show guys was oh my god

So much fun like what a night what a vibe in that room the people You know when you're coming to one of my events like there's never gonna be a ton of drama and screaming and for anyone asking Because like, you know Someone who we won't name names asked to go and throw a dig because they don't have businesses to talk about of their own, I guess, or whatever it might be. But like, let me just explain the need for the fashion show the same way I did on Yes, they're not having envy is a lot of work. I handpick everything put it in the store to have a fashion show is simply so that you can display

What your style is what your clothing is to give the people in the community a fun night out that they can actually meet me and See the fashion have a great DJ have a great drink and see what envy is all about. It's a great promotion a great drink and see what Envy's all about. It's great promotion to one girl to talk to the next girl to say, hey, I saw that. Do you know how many styles sell after things like that? Because everyone is taking photos, sending them to their friends. They're grabbing it on the website. So guess what? For everyone who's confused why someone who I'm not a fashion designer, but I do carry other designer brands I'm parading them down a runway so that you can see what I got you can see what you need to buy

it's a fun night out and it and it raises like awareness in the community and in the press and it sells I'm a genius marketer okay so that's for anyone who was confused. That's called Marketing. Thank you so much. And you see where it came from, honey I know I know but it's not just marketing It's also a fun night out and like it makes people think envy they think fun. They think fashion They think wow, we want to go to those events. So hello, and it was such a great event Honestly, I had to cut off the ticket sales I could have sold another thousand tickets and the room was not big enough every single chair was packed on like the the next event that went on on the show that they had to

it was empty but on that note you gotta you gotta support one another you gotta be nice you can't be mean and there's you know when you act like that you act like a hater just shows it in your eyes and that's what sucks. I would never even embarrass myself I wouldn't even say that because I'm embarrassing myself. Well we won't go on and on about it but I don't think the people need an explanation. They know a hater when they see a hater so we know guys but we're gonna stand tall over here right and we're gonna be women supporting women and we are going to be happy when people have a great business and they're having a good And we're gonna be women supporting women and we are going to be happy when people have a great business and

they're having a good night. We're not gonna poo poo on it. We're gonna we're gonna be proud and say positive things. And that's what I do for my girls when I'm out there. So, you know, that's that's the hater world. But moving on, you know what, Joe, I got home very late last night. Did you notice I or you were asleep? You you came in touching. I know you were touching. No, I wasn't. No, I wasn't. Why are you lying? You touched. I was so tired.

You touched you touched. I know you didn't want anything, but you touched me. What do you mean I touched you? No, I didn't. I don't even move. It was like two o'clock in the morning. Yeah, you were touching. All right. Well, that wasn't the point of this. It's nice, but I know if I would have rolled over, you would have been like. If I were touching, you would have Woke up. Matter of fact, matter of fact, I did roll over and start touching.

And you were like, all right, off. You did. Well, I was drinking a lot last night. Not even purposely. That's great. Well, I went to. That's great. I was drinking, so I came home, I touched it, but there wasn't a cup. No, no, no. I went to… That's great. I was drinking, so I came home, I touched it, but there was no…

No, no, no. I went to a Bravo watch party last night and, you know, I only had one drink while I was at the watch party. Of course, I had a Cosmo. It was so fun, guys. It was a watch party for OC. They showed the next episode of OC and Jennifer, the new girl Jennifer was there. Vicky was there and Shannon Bedor was there and Vicky the OG was there. It was so much fun. It was great to see them.

Vicky is I believe yes, she's like a friend of though I know that she wants to be full time because she was like teasing the Bravo executives from the stage like hello, bring the OG back, you know, and listen, she is the OG of the OC you got to give her that and I happen to love both of them. They're both so like, kind of like quirky in their own way. And they both have their own like personality. I can't explain that they're such individuals,

which I love about them. And they're always so sweet. And I've had, definitely had moments throughout the years alone with both of them. And I think they're great. And I think Jennifer is, I met her man. man he was there he was mad you weren't there Joe he's like where's Joe I'm like oh he's you went to little Gigi's birthday party Joe went to Gigi's Rachel food is daughter turned four yesterday little

Gigi fooda cute yeah she's so cute how was the birthday party I was so bad I had to miss it very nice you know nice. You know, food, drinks and you know, everybody. All the kids swimming in the backyard. Kids swimming. Yeah, it was good. It was fun. I had to miss that. I'm sorry. But then after the watch party, which was so much fun, like meeting all the fans and talking to the girls and everything, I went out for dinner. And I don't know what happened. I had one glass of wine and I didn't realize that he filled it again.

The waiter, I must have been talking. He just filled it again. And then he filled it and I didn't realize. So technically I had a Cosmo plus two glasses of wine at dinner and I would have never have done that. I would normally just had a Cosmo and a glass of wine with my Italian dinner. He just filled it again. Yeah, he filled it.

So now I'm like, woo, thank God I had a driver and all of that. So I didn't leave there. It was like quarter to one. It was like 12.45. That was me happy getting yelled at. Not even. Maybe it was 12.30. And by the time I got home, it was like 1.30.

And then I had all this makeup on, so I had to get in the shower and wash all my makeup off and do all the things. So the time I actually got in the bed Joe was asleep and it was like 2 o'clock in the morning and I did not wake him up. He's totally lying. She did 100%. I did not. Yes, yes, yes, yes. You would never say no.

So like I don't believe. Well she didn't wake, you did not wake me up for that. You took care of me before you went anywhere. Would you ever say no? Is there a moment that you feel that you would turn me down and say no, of course, when would that be exactly? Let me know. We think I'm always in the mood. I'm not always in the mood. Can you turn your your ringer off? Please?

It's rude. Okay, you're on my podcast. Oh, shit. When when would you turn me down? Give me an example of Joe Gorgott- Turn you down right now. What, you want it? I don't want to give it to you. I don't want it right now. I'm live on my podcast.

But tell me when would be a time that you think you would say like, now I'm not in the mood. What do you mean a time? Any time I feel like saying I don't want to move. I think I'm going to start turning you down. Because you know what? I think the more I turn you down the more you're gonna want it, okay? I mean Look at her she get mad now I'm not getting mad

I just want to know when I can try it so that I have that thing like well you turned me down like Let me know when it's a good time to get turned down. I'm just curious. Yeah, be nice you come home You know little spontaneous stuff is good. It's good. It's not planned. That's you know, you got to remember that. Especially if you got three drinks in you. Three drinks.

What else do we want to talk about? The fact that there's three episodes left of the Real Housewives of New Jersey three episodes three episodes left and they are really really really good like really good guys you need to watch them they are really good. They're drama packed I feel like we saved the best for last so I know this season got off to a little bit of like a slower start, but as the season goes on, it gets better and better. And these last three are the best. So do not miss the last three episodes.

The finale, I finally got to watch it the other day, Joe. Oh my God. Because we did film a little special. So I know you're not getting a reunion, but you will get You'll get some type of closure. I can't tell you how we're doing it or what or whatever, but you will get a special That is not a huge reunion, but you'll get an episode of our closing thoughts, which I think we never said We didn't really never we can never tell you but it's always all over the internet for some reason

I don't know how it gets out there. Oh my god, but we can never word for word is like everywhere I don't know how it gets out there, but it's out there. It's crazy. So we're you know, we always respect the network We can't say but it's out there You know look one little birdie couple little birdies talk Let me interview you right now. So everyone is saying that this could be the end of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, right? Or that they could reboot or that they could just keep four or five or three or couple and not keep everybody.

What are your thoughts if we are no longer on the Real Housewives of New Jersey? Like how will you feel about that? Because it's definitely a long time and nostalgic for us and something that we've been doing forever. So like what would be your real thoughts on that? Well, you know, listen, we put a lot of time and effort. We dedicated over a decade of our lives into this show and, you know, it would be sad right wouldn't it be a little sad, you know at this point, you know

We will be an adjustment to life because we're so used to it. It is what it is and You know, whatever happens happens and we'll just have to move on and there'll be Another open one door closes another one opens and we'll just figure it out, right? Right, and with that said, I'll let everybody know that there is absolutely zero decisions made on what's happening for the next season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. They are not, the executives have told us

over and over again, they are not even thinking about it. And I know that's a fact, they don't think about this until after like the reunion airs. Do they even start to think about the next season? So truly, everybody's kind of like assuming and they've heard what Andy said, it's like, yes, it's time for a change, but there is absolutely no decisions made yet.

They have no idea what they're gonna do or what direction they're gonna go in. I think they're all gonna sit in that that 30 rock in the Bravo offices You know Maybe in a couple weeks after the special airs and they're gonna put their heads together and they're gonna figure out what's best For the show, but until then everyone might as well stop Contemplating and trying to figure it out because no one knows and there are no answers. So we're just gonna wait and find out.

And you know, either way, I think that we've shown a lot of our lives and like I'm happy to continue showing it. And I'm also happy with the memories that we made. So I feel like we'll be at peace either way. And you know what? I was sitting at Fuda's house yesterday for the party and I was talking to Danielle and

she was like, listen, one thing that I commend you and Melissa, because I'm new to this, that you guys can sit there with your head up high and you were clean. We've been on this show, how long now, babe? How long? 14 years. 14 years. We've been amazing employees, especially you, right? Been amazing employees. We kept it clean, kept it classy, kept it right. And you know what?

We're sitting here right now and our heads are high. We're clean. We're nice. We got nothing to worry about because we did everything right and respected the network. We expected we respected our fans We expected respected everybody so I commend you forgiven 14 years of Being a great employee and being a great person you are you know really? It's and that's you know it feels good feels. It's the only way I Can sleep at night most of the time, not talking about like the show drama.

We all do things wrong. I've done shady things. We all do that. But just as an employee and like working with this huge company and having this huge opportunity that I had, I always respected the process. So, and I think that's important. Oh, I have something to bring up

What did you think about Kathy on watch what happens live? I thought that was a little I felt like she had a little negative Flare when asked about us or like she mentioned something like well, there's acres and these houses aren't acres So we probably won't see them Anyway, I was a little taken back by that because to be honest what I had said on Jeff Lewis was I Thought very nice and very in a way of like moving forward in some which way and it wasn't like a hey I want you on the show or like I want you back in our lives. That wasn't really what I was saying. I was saying like, well, it would be nice if we live on the

same street and there are two cousins living on the same street and they bumped into each other. It would be really nice to have them talk and work it out and talk it out. And I'm like, huh, do I regret saying that after she had that little like weird attitude on Andy Cohen? Like it was weird. I was like what do I regret saying that after she had that little like weird attitude on Andy Cohen like it was Weird I was like what like first of all like I think she forgets who said They gonna cut the cancer out and you did what you had to do which was support your family

At the time your parents your sister asked you for something and there you were being a good brother and did what you had to do Little did you know I mean we probably should you probably should have known that, you know, that didn't really work out. So, I mean, at the end of the day, maybe at the time you were doing the right thing. Fast forwarding to now, I bet you if you knew what we knew now, maybe you wouldn't have done that, right? And that's basically what I was saying to Jeff Lewis on his podcast like listen these are real cousins and that's me extending an olive branch in a way where it's like all right if we see you but like you know what your loss stay on your side and straight all good I tried to like say something nice and like just whatever I don't

I don't think I like to like the attitude I'm like's weird. We haven't seen her in a very long time. So I just thought it was a little petty, but there was a time, you know, when I'll tell a little story that I ran into Richie. We were at a plumbing supply this place and I was up on the, on the dock and he was down on the bottom. I didn't realize that he was down there and I was loading my, my plumbing material and I trip, I trip over the forklift. So the guys goes, hey, the guy goes, Oh, my you're right. I look up and it's

Richie, Richie Wachile. And I go, and this is the time that they bought the property and they were going to move into the neighborhood. So I was being nice. I go, Hey, what's up, Richie? What's up, Wachile? That's because that's what I call them. And I was going to be extremely nice. I was going to say, what's up? Welcome. You're welcome to the neighborhood. And you know what he said to me right away.

I go, what's up, Wachile? He goes, hey, he goes, that's Mr. Wachile to you. And he gets in his car and he takes off like really rude and nasty. And I'm like, okay, he's always still bitter because you got kicked off the show or whatever it is. Like, it's not our fun, but that's what it is. At the end of the day, it's just bitter.

Like, get over it. Here's the difference with the Gorgas. The Gorgas, and I'm gonna say, we love each other. We're happy. We go on our merry way. Things happen in our lives. We're not perfect, but you know what? We're not haters.

We don't sit there and hate on you. It is what it is. See across the street. Maybe I won't. Maybe I will. Whatever at this point, because that it is what it is.

You can't really tell. She Yeah, she looks like a pretty girl. But you can't really tell. But she's like leaning up and hugging him. And they look like they're so happy to like kind of greet each other in an airport. And, and I think it's in Greece, like he arrived at Greece and Greece in Mykonos maybe or something, and she was there waiting for him at the airport. And just to wait to see another woman embrace one of my friend's husbands that, you know, Joe,

we've been to dinner with them many times. It was a little sad. And I know they're probably okay with it. Obviously, if he's doing it in public, they've moved on. But I couldn't help but think about Kyle and I'm just like, wow, this shit really happens. These long-term, amazing marriages that you think are gonna go on forever,

Joe, kind of like you and I, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They break up. And then you miraculously see them kissing other people in airports and it's like wow like you just can't believe it. Who are you gonna be with? Like what kind of... What's your type? I don't know I'm not gonna be with anyone right now. No no no what's your type? Where would you go? I just want to say like... A woman? No but there's certain

couples that you would... Like an older guy? The one that doesn't want to... Money? What would you money what do you what would you like I have all of these things I'm good in like all of these departments no but if you want me anymore like what kind of type what should we what's your type okay hold on can we a suit guy you like guys in suits that would be opposite that would be opposite right maybe I don't know I'll let you know if we break up. Did you go with a guy with a lot of hair?

What would you do? I would, I would, don't know. I'd have to figure that out. What if you liked the guy, right? And you liked him, and then you got naked with him, and you pulled it down, it was like two inches big. Oh my God. What would you do?

And you're like, what the fuck is that? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know because you and I are not going through that. So I don't want to talk about like hypothetical situations that might happen. But like come on, don't you think it's crazy? There's certain there's certain couples that you like just know.

You just never believe they're going gonna break up and that was one of them. And there are certain couples that you're not surprised. You're like, oh yeah, we knew that wasn't gonna last. This is one of the couples that I am still in shock. Yeah. Like you're not in shock. I am.

I am. And they really loved each other. I don't know. I was just taken back today when I saw Mauricio just like with this woman. It was the first time I've seen him do it and it kind of really validates that their relationship is over. And it scared me a little Joe, because I'm like, Oh my God, like who knows? Like you never know who it could happen to you. You never know what the future holds.

And that is just scary to me. Like, do you want to see me in an airport one day, like completely hugging and kissing another guy or like, could you even imagine? I mean, if we were bright, you know, no, not really a break my heart. But, you know, I probably go lesbian just to piss you off because you aren't invited like to the party anymore. I mean, if we broke up, right, and you went lesbian, you think

that we can can I get in for like a threesome and I mean we I wouldn't know I thought if I would you still do with me here and there cuz I'm pretty good at what I do if I break Up with you after 20 years. It's over Why it is over like I am going a different direction at that point like we would break up because I want to fight with you cuz you're the mother my kids and I always love you and Long as you didn't like screw me over and just say I'm not in love with you anymore, I'm like, all right, baby, I love you. Move on and a week later, I move out, you move out, you're doing your thing, I'll hit

you up. A week later? I feel like we've been watching this divorce for a year. No, no, I'm just saying. It took Mauricio a year, thank God. Yeah, but I'll hit you up a week later. I'll be like, yo, I'll be like, what's up, baby? You'll be like, aw, what are you doing?

No, no, honey. I'll be like, it's two o'clock anymore. Can I come over? I'll be hitting you up, I'd be like, what's up, baby? You'd be like, oh, what are you doing? I'd be like, it's two o'clock in the morning, can I come over? I'll be hitting you up on little booty calls. No, I'd be like, been there, done that

for the last 20 years. I am moving on. The doors are closed. All the doors are closed, Joe. I'll be hitting that shit. They're all closed. I'll still be hitting it for the next 15 years. This guy, I can't have a conversation with him

because he literally wants to talk about all these hypothetical things. Like you are so into like what if. What if. Yeah. Okay. Well, to wrap this whole episode up, we need to discuss this one thing. It's something that I saw on Instagram and I think it kind of goes with what we're talking about right now. So a guy posted this, right? That his marriage improved when he stopped assuming that domestic chores totally defaulted to his wife and it actually improved their sex life and their marriage when he didn't just assume that like all of the chores that are domestic in the home are defaulted to the wife. He started getting in there doing the things that like typically the wife would do.

And he said it helped his marriage so much. I mean, what do you think? Do you agree on that? No. Yes, you do. No. What? So wait, are you going to come to the construction site and pick up a shovel and work? I'll turn me on

I bet oh my I could do it Why not there pick up the branches that fall from the tree and take out the garbage? Oh my god I'm gonna look at this. Okay, but we won't work. We both work. We both work You chose your life when a woman gets out there and like hustles and works like that, you know I love it. I do. It could be sexy and hot, but like you chose your line of work and I chose my line of work. Sometimes I do clean. I wash the dishes and she was on them.

Lately, that's your newest thing that you've added on to your roster of domestic chores in the home. Let's talk about what we hate the most. What chore does Melissa Gorga hate the most? She hates washing the dishes. Oh my God, and why do I hate washing the dishes? I don't know, I mean, I'm gonna have to buy her hands, get her nails, she just hates them,

she'll leave them in the sink, and it bothers me. And you know what, lately, I've been a good husband, and I'm like, listen, I'll just bang them out. And I bang them out. They do take 10 minutes, they take 10 minutes, but I hate doing it. I will just look at them and we don't have help right now. We don't have the extra help right now. So I'll just look at them when I'm busy and I'm kind of like, oh my god,

I just don't want to get my hands wet. I don't want to wash the dishes. And if I actually just went in and dived into washing the dishes. They take a total of 10 minutes. So I feel like Joe, that should be your thing now, like in the home. You're the dishes guy. You know what I realized? Doing the dishes is like my alone time. It's like it's my mental time. I sit there and I'm able to think.

All right. So like doing the dishes is going to be like the new like men going to the bathroom to have their alone time. All right. So ladies, listen to me. Get your men to do the dishes because they'll get their alone time and you'll get your shit done. Yeah, nobody's bothering me.

That's right. I will on the flip side say what my favorite chore to do is. And like I could, I would do it all day long if I could. What is it? Vacuuming. I love my Dyson. I love to vacuum. I love my Dyson. I love to vacuum. I love my handheld vacuum. I would vacuum. Something about vacuuming gives me like

this weird satisfaction of like every crumb on the floor going into the vacuum and making the lines and the rug like I could vacuum all day. Going into the vacuum man. You're turning me on. Isn't that cute? Is that the way you talk? Vacuum with an apron? Yeah. No, just kidding. Wait, what would you, what's your favorite chore? My favorite chore? Like if you had, like what are you not mine? I think I know what yours is, but I'll let you answer. What?

What's mine? You like to like water down the brick. Like water down the driveway. I'm a tie-in babe. You like to hose down the driveway. That's what we do. We clean the concrete. We wash the concrete with a hose down the driveway. That's what we do. We clean the concrete. We wash the concrete with a hose.

I was taught that. So I love doing that. I like cleaning that. Yeah, that's what I do. You're like a little power washer. When I was a kid, my father made me clean it instead of getting a blower. And when we cut the grass, I had to wash it down with a hose. Yeah, you're like a little power washer.

All right, one more thing I want to ask you. There's this whole debate going on and I'm dying to know your answer to this. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Would you rather a stranger pop up in front of you or a bear? A stranger. Huh. Yeah.

A bear. You know how big and strong a bear is? It'll beat you up. It'll tear your face apart with those claws. That's true. There's no way. And if their cubs are around, you're done. And they're fast.

You can run. You can run. That son of a bitch is fast So so a stranger what if the stranger is like a gun or something? You feel like you have a better shot with the stranger than you would with the bear What if the bears just gonna look at you and let you keep going like what a bear might not do nothing He might just stare right at you and like just Keep it moving. No, no, no It's so weird. So this is interesting.

What would you rather? Well this is interesting because a majority of the women assume the stranger is a man, right? And so they'd rather run into a bear. And the truth is, I don't know, I almost feel like I'd rather run into a bear too. Isn't that crazy? So like all the women would rather run into a bear, all the men would rather run into a bear. All the men would rather run into a stranger. Women are like get that man away from me. I don't want to be eaten by a bear. That goes to show you. They're like they're women are just done with men. They're just done. No but like no but the bear is not necessarily going to eat you. You might have a chance like kicking the bear. No punching the bear. I don't know. The bear is not going to have a. You might have a chance like kicking the bear, no? Punching the bear, no.

I don't know, the bear's not gonna have a gun. That's all I know. The bear's definitely not gonna try to like, manhandle you and have his way with you. So I just think maybe the bear. And it's, isn't it crazy? Tear you up, eat you up. I think bears are definitely more predictable

because you don't know what the man is thinking so Definitely, I think a bear for me. Mel listeners you guys got to let me know Let me know if you are out in the woods alone DM me would you rather run into a bear or run into a stranger in the woods?
