I started screaming and I videoed I'm like holy crap like we always get Bambi in the backyard. We always get like cute little polka dotted deer. I'm like, what is this thing? This thing was massive. So I put it on my Instagram today. Oh my God. Everyone was hysterical laughing at me because they're like, Melissa, that is not because I was saying, go back to Santa. He needs you in the North Pole. Like, why are you in my backyard? It's almost

time for Christmas.

That's what you did when you married me you got a buck. Cheesy! No but for real did you see that thing Joe and now let's do roasting of Joe so why did I have a buck in my backyard eating my hydrangeas that I no longer have hydrangeas because Joe never put up the deer fence and I've

been begging him and he fights me all the time it's not be don't jump over the fence you don't need a deer fence I said Joe I need a deer fence all the neighbors have a deer fence we're gonna need a deer fence because we're the last man standing on the neighborhood like we were the newest house so like they're getting into our property they have them house.

I'm being vindicated all over the place. So yesterday, which another thing guys, check out. You gotta talk about this, right? Check out my Instagram because everybody was hysterical, Joe, which I wanna give us a compliment real quick. So you, I didn't give us a compliment real quick. So you, you, I didn't tell you this yet, but so Joe and I, first of all, I thought yesterday it was, it was Labor Day.

I thought it was Sunday. It felt like Sunday. We were all home. There was no work. I was, I decided it was the most gorgeous night when it switches to fall in Jersey. It gets like instantly crisp and gorgeous weather outside and it's just amazing, right or wrong? Was the weather amazing, Joe? So I was home, we were home, I poured a glass of wine,

we were making food, I decide I'm taking the dog for a walk. I'm like, I already had my pajamas on, I already put my hair in a bun, and I put on my son's flip flops and took the dog out and held my glass of wine and started walking my neighborhood. Now, if you know my neighborhood, it's a beautiful neighborhood.

Everybody walks in my neighborhood. It's a thing. It's just like a walking neighborhood. Like, right Joe, at any given moment. Yes, it is. You talk with your hands a lot. You're like an Italian. Look at that.

You know if you know my name. I'm 97% Italian says the thing. What's that thing? 23 and me. So go ahead. What's that thing? 23 and me. So get headed to walking neighborhood. Go on. Walking the whole thing. I'm walking with my wine glass today.

So you can imagine this is seltzer everyone. I also drink seltzer from a wine glass, but I was walking with a wine glass yesterday. Walking by myself, finally my dog was annoying me. He was pulling me all over. I was like, this is so nice. I'm gonna go back in for Joe drop the dog off grab Joe and tell Joe let's walk off our dinner Let's take a stroll around the neighborhood, but he's got a pour a glass of wine, too

We're gonna have a cute little couples walk outside. I was like feeling it, you know, maybe a little tipsy Just a little not tipsy. I just had like one glass So anyway, he agrees So as we're walking out, a cop comes walking up to our front door as we're walking out. So I'll give you a little black story on this. Joe owns a construction company and be,

yeah, this is, I don't like this Joe, and I disagree with you on this and we you know, he has he always has his pickup truck, right? And he has a trailer 90% of the time on his picker pickup truck. So a lot of the times like he always work for a living. We don't care. There's no excuses. The whole neighborhood works for a living.

These how there's we live next door to 15 to $20 million houses. I think everyone works here for a living these how there's we live next door to 15 to 20 million dollar houses I think everyone works here for a living thank you very much so be driving trailers well they don't I think they're the CEO of freaking I forget Amazon what is this not Amazon but what is it the CEO something big but anyway so he friggin we go to leave down the shore on Friday He pulls up with this truck in the trailer and he leaves the trailer like on this little part That's kind of like leaving it almost in the front yard. It's clean. It's empty, but he's leaving it and as we're playing out I go Joe you can't leave that trailer there. I go what he's like, ah, no my guy He's gonna come tomorrow. I go. No, I know you the guy's not coming tomorrow. It's a holiday

We can pull that trailer into our driveway right now This is embarrassing the whole it's Labor Day weekend People are having company and the whole town walks around what he's my guys picking it up first thing in the morning I'm like Joe Joe, we look like, you know, it's not very in the borrow the trailer. You know, they say, can I borrow the trailer? I said, yeah.

So, you know, I'll leave it there. No one picked up the trailer. It sat there Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Now we're on Monday. Okay. So I was like thinking to myself, it's not right because of the neighbors. Like it's a night, nobody wants to walk past a trailer. We have a very big, like everybody, you know,

we don't want to do that. I yelled at him, I followed him. He's like, you, you gotta have my back. I, I, I'm a workaholic, I'm tired. I didn't have time to go do this and that. And somebody's picking up. I'm like, Joe, I have your back on 90% of the things this is not right you cannot leave it in the front yard it's not right you can't do it but but he fights with me we pulled back into the

house on Monday which was yesterday we see the trailer I'm like you son of a no one picked up this trailer oh my god I'm so embarrassed Joe what the neighbors must think of us ba ba ba so as I walk the dog I go in the house we're walking out him and I walking out of the garage two glasses of wine like two idiots about to go take a stroll around the block this cop must be like not only do they park trailers on their lawn but they walk around with glasses of wine in the neighborhood. So the cop he was very cool, he was very nice.

He's like, all right, guys, like I'm coming because there's a trailer here. And I was like, of course you are, of course you are. I said, I could not be happier that I am standing here and catching this conversation. I am so happy that you have come here to correct my husband in front of me because I have been yelling about him for this

for this Joe what do you have to say for yourself are you embarrassed the cop was like listen I should be going to take some robbers down somebody's stealing a car I don't want to come here about a trail I got I agree bro I agree so we were on the same page we were on the same page we were we were you he was very nice he was not he didn't't care he was just like you gotta move it and I'm like yeah, he's gotta move it and I was so I was gonna call the cops on you myself. And not even tell you I was the one who did it because I'm so embarrassed that you do that. There's always somebody like always looking at no it's not

even about that. It's I wasn. I would never. I'm sure a cop drove by. I leave everybody alone. Do what you gotta do. I'm sure he drove by and he was like damn uh you can't keep a trailer in the front like this is not a whatever. So Joe say you're sorry for doing that and that I was right two times. I need a deer fence you should have never left the trailer for three days in the front yard. And then I'll give you a compliment after that. So go ahead and say say you're sorry. Are you gonna give me a compliment?

Tell me I was right at least. Wait, wait, wait. You're gonna give me a compliment? Yes. Okay, I'm sorry. No, tell me I was right. Totally right. No, no, no. Totally right. I will not do it.

I don't think you're a big jerk off for leaving that in the front. I think that's such a jerk off move jerk Oh, and then and then I've worked his ass off. I'm a jerk off. Yes. That's a jerk off move I didn't say you're a jerk off. I said jerk off move Okay, so wait, so then I'm sorry As we start to walk with our wine now I have a little irritation and I don't want it to ruin our wine walk. So I'm like I told you I told you see that's not cool, man And then and then he starts going well, you got to back me up. I work so hard like I was tired

No guy didn't pick it up. I couldn't set up and so I'm like, alright, he's like, let's just drop the subject I'm moving the trailer and we want to enjoy our wine walk. So I was like fine. So now I'll give you the compliment So we are now on our wine walk and I am now videoing our wine walk and we're talking and everyone is now making fun Of me again on Instagram and all my text messages because I keep saying happy Sunday. Happy Sunday. We're doing our wine walk What a great Sunday enjoy your Sunday and I get 17 text messages saying it's Monday Melissa and 19,000 DM, it's Monday, Melissa, and 19,000 DMs saying, it's Monday. And I then started to see other DMs because the movie we watched last night sucked. So I had time to like look into this a little bit. Everyone was hysterical and saying like, you guys are the cutest couple.

Like we, I love you guys are such a vibe walking your neighborhood in your flip flops with Melissa in her pajamas and glasses of wine on a gorgeous night like we love you like so many compliments just about how you I walked in to get you they're like my husband probably wouldn't have done it like that's so cute that you guys have that relationship so so I'm complimenting a little too everyone thought that we were so cute walking, walking the streets, walking these streets out here in Franklin Lakes,

New Jersey. You see what I do for you? We were out there in those streets. I do everything for you. And you're always yawning at me, always bitching. How about putting out candy lingerie on tonight? Show me how much you appreciate me. How about that?

Oh my God. And here's the deal though. If you leave that trailer in the yard one more time, two things are gonna happen. Zero sex for over a week to start. The first time I see it. You're gonna put me in the hospital? Zero.

You're gonna kill me? And I'm gonna start calling you like Joe Bob Gorga. We're like the Franklin Lakes hillbillies. Who am I supposed to, hey listen. Like that's what we are. It's an embarrassment to society. They should respect that I work hard. I mean, I respect them.

I leave everybody alone. Oh my God. How do they know my situation? If I didn't have a problem, you know, I would never call the cops on somebody. I wouldn't. No, but you don't know that. We just think that he, I think he drove by

and was basically like, what is this? Which I was so happy he did. And he probably knows that we haven't been home and we finally got home.

When most of us think about fasting, we think about being hungry and exhausted instead of

rejuvenated and energized. This is why Prolon by El Nutra is a total game changer. Prolon is fasting with food. That's right, it's fasting but with food. It all starts with Prolon's five-day program, snacks, soups, and beverages all designed to activate your body's fasting state. It's unlike anything you've ever experienced. Prolon is a revolutionary plant-based nutrition program that nourishes the body while making cells believe that they're fasting. Researched and developed for decades at the University of Southern California and backed by leading US medical centers, Prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, support cardiovascular health, and reduce abdominal fat.

But Prolon isn't a diet. Prolon is a science, science based on noble, prize-winning discoveries in medicine. Guys, we all know the struggle. We all wanna be healthier, but trying to incorporate healthy practices into our already chaotic lives sometimes just doesn't work.

That's why I really liked using Prolon. The five-day program comes in one box. It's easy to incorporate into your day. The instructions are easy to follow. And yes, you're actually fasting with food, tasty food too. Right now Prolon is offering on display with Melissa Gorgel listeners 15% off their five-day nutrition program.

But anyway, let's flip the switch guys. It's fall officially, not officially, it's still actually summer, but in New Jersey, and I know wherever you guys live in Florida and California and maybe Texas, like you guys don't feel it, but it's so crazy. The second, it's like time for school and September not even like Labor Day right Joe Labor Day we immediately take out like it's a little chilly it's a little like crisp in the air we immediately I wore a sweatshirt

all day yeah a sweatshirt he can't say sweatshirt or orange shoes he wore a sweatshirt, say what you wore today. What did you wear today? You wore a? A sweatshirt. You see? And that was him really, really trying. Oh my God. You're so stupid. That is him really trying.

It's a sweatshirt. Go ahead. That's what I said. A sweatshirt. It's a sweatshirt. Sweat shirt. Go ahead. That's what I said. A sweat shirt. It's a sweat shirt. Sweat shirt. Good. Now say what's that stuff that we drink in the morning?

Orange juice. What is it? Orange juice. Did I say that right? Orange juice. Oh, sorry. I'm just, this is like roasting Joe today. This is so fun.

That's roast me. All right. I'm actually enjoying this, but let's talk about back to school for a minute. We officially are going to have two boys that go to the same high school together. Joey is starting his freshman year, which moms, I don't know about you, I saw so many Instagrams today of moms making the funniest memes of their kids going back to school and how they're all drinking champagne and jumping for joy. And I know even I am like, get the hell out of my house. They ask me for food 24 hours a day, rides 24 hours a day. Can I get a Chipotle on the credit card and have it delivered on whatever? All day long, they just want food and rides. and I'm so sick of them. We used to have like eggplant, you know?

Eggplant, no chipotle, leftover freaking rabbit tea instead of chipotle. Oh my god, those are some real Italian. You had Nutella sandwiches and stuff. Yeah, man. No, but like all my boys do, and I'm sure it's girls too, it's like they need a ride and they're hungry. Like that's all. So I can't wait to get them out of the house.

They start school today. So I'm very excited about that. But do you wanna hear some funny statistics? Do you know Americans spent a total of $135 billion for back to school? Would it be? Would it be? No, for back to school and back to school.

I'm saying, would it be billions? With a B. With a B. Wow. For back to school and back to college shopping in 2023. Like, is that not insane? That is, man, wow. And the average household, they budgeted about $890

for back to school shopping in 2023. Kids are paying the ass it costs money. That's a lot of money, plus all the taxes we pay, like $890 for back to school shopping in 2020. Kids are paying the ass. That's a lot of money. Plus all the taxes we pay, like $890 for back to school. For one child back to school supplies costs about $597, like K through 12. That's like insane, right? Crazy.

I don't know. And even for college, like the average household spent, you know, $1,366 in 2023 for back to school college shopping. Wow. Yeah. Like my daughter is just like, give me the credit card, give me the credit card. They do this thing now.

I know all your moms feel me with Apple pay. So like your credit card is attached to their phones. Well get rid of that. Isn't that insane? That's bullshit really. Oh my God. And I'm also gonna keep these glasses on while we're talking about school things and teacher things because I just feel like it just goes with the part perfectly.

I wanna go back to school. But you know what I get a lot of requests Joe. I love it when you first go back to school and you start checking out all the new girls that are coming in. Oh my god. Yeah that's what I, yeah. You know what I loved? And then the transfers, the transfers are great too. Where'd you come in. Oh my God. Yeah, that's what I, yes. Know what I loved? And then the transfers, the transfers are great too.

Where'd you come from? Oh yeah, you came from Paramish? Oh. Geez, is that all? I liked organizing my binder. Like I loved to like have a fresh new binder and put the dividers in and like the school supplies all still smell great and they're clean and like you smell the erasers and like, do you know I die for the smell of crayons that's a fun fact

about me I just open it and sniff it I would sniff a whole 24 box of crayons do you do that do you like that Joe yeah sniff the box you know what else she sniffs no stop it oh my you like to sniff the dogs oh I do oh my god. I was gonna say that. You like to sniff the dog's ear. Oh I do. Oh my god, you see me do that? I kiss the back of his ears all the time. She sniffs her deer. I do have like weird- I mean the deer.

The deer. The ear. Yeah, I do sniff the dog's ears. I think he has like really soft back of his ears and I always kiss him and sniff him. He always laughs at me for that. I also love the smell of gas. I sniff necks. I'm a smeller. Like should be physical whatever. If you had senses, what's your sense?

I'm a seer. I'm a smeller. I like to touch. I like to smell. I like to touch. We know honey. We know what you like. That's what I like to do. We know. But can we discuss Gino and Joey real quick? Because I do get a lot of you out there My malicent er is out there who I love so much You guys always ask me about like give me parenting advice talk to me about the kids So this is like a fun not fun. I wouldn't say this is fun. I would say this is like a thing that's going on in our household both of our boys are in football and I feel like they're both having two totally different experiences joining college football I'm not college

I'm sorry joining high school football so they're both really having two different experiences and it's like do you does it bother you at all Joe cuz it bothers me a little bit. What? Just that Gino and Joey are having two totally different situations happen to them. And it's not because one's better than the other, truly not. It's because of the lineup and how it goes

and who played here in eighth grade and who didn't. And I just feel like, like Joey, for instance, is having such an amazing so far an amazing experience at night like freshman football like he's in he's playing his first string he's running the ball he's scoring touchdowns he's doing great and I do feel like that has to go with also the child right he's a hard worker he's always been a fast runner he's great But I feel like he went to eighth grade football, sixth, seventh and eighth grade of the town football in this town. So you always say that, right Joe?

Yep. So that like helped the coaches came and watched him through sixth, seventh and eighth grade and they had their eye on him so they know who they're getting from all the towns, right? So he had a little advantage where Gino, we moved him here on his freshman year. So they never watched him play sixth grade, seventh grade or eighth grade. And we just feel like he doesn't, he's not getting as much play time or as much of a fair shot as Joey is. Yeah, they give like some seniority and who's played for they know in little leagues. So, you know, I just, I just don't go for that.

I go by like, listen, best man plays and everybody should try out and go. No one starts until, you know, you go to camp and you grind it out and the best play. And it's so crazy because Gino was like, oh my god, like when we were living in Montville, he was like, he scored maybe like, four touchdowns a game. Like it was insane, right? Like he's, he was like, if we would have kept him in that high school, he would be starting in that high school because they know him since he was so young, right? Right. And it's just it's frustrating.

But I know a lot of parents this can relate to this because it's it's a real thing. And it happens and it's very frustrating when and, you know, we all want to be, you know, we take a step back and you don't ever tell. We don't ever speak on it or say anything to coaches or whatever. Gino, we have conversations with Gino in the house. But what I do kind of like Joe secretly is Gino is such an amazing wrestler. Like he's a star. He's just an amazing wrestler.

So I do kind of like that Joe, like let Joey have this thing because Gino is always, you're always posting and talking about how Gino is such a great wrestler. So don't you kind of like that they both have something that they're kind of like excelling in because Gino is just great at wrestling? Yeah. You're asking me? Yeah.

I mean, I like, listen, they're both doing two different things and they're both great at them. And yeah, I respect them. I love that. It's like, they're both doing two different things and they're both great at them. And I respect them. I love that. You know, it's, it's like the NFL. We were just watching a show yesterday and so, so many players that let's say that, uh, didn't play in high school. Then they get to college and they excel or they didn't even get looked at, or

th they might be, uh, they didn't even make the draft in the NFL and they walked on and now they, they're they're the stars of the team. So just people just get overlooked and you just got to have, you know, just keep going. Whatever you do, you just keep going in life because it happens in everything. Not just sports happens at work. It happens in life happens with your wife and your husband. You just get overlooked. You just got to keep going.

Yeah. And so Joe, basically you believe that performance is the key factor, like indicator. Like basically how they perform is how they should play on the field, like how they should get on the field. That's right. That's right. Which I agree with you. Yeah.

I mean, as a parent, you have to teach your kids to trust that a challenge always comes with a lesson, right? And that it will make you better in the long run. So there's, I think it builds character. He works so hard though. You know what I love about wrestling? They have a wrestle off. So they'll train, they'll train, they'll train for three weeks a month. And then they have a wrestle off, meaning, you know, okay, if you weigh 150, the 250, 150 pounders wrestle off and the best man

wins, starts. And that's how it goes. That's one thing about wrestling. So, you know, it's best guy plays. Wrestling is crazy. It's man to man. It's very like, teaches you a lot of character and discipline. As much as I hate watching it, I do know that it's such a great sport for these kids.

Well, you guys know we love football in this house. We're actually going to the first Giants game, right? This weekend, we're excited about that. And we are a football.

Go big blue. Yes, go big blue. We are a football family, so that's all we do now. We're gonna just watch football in this house. I'm going to lose my mind for the next what? What position you play, baby? You play what? Me?

If I played football, I would be a running back because I am so fast. I beat a quarterback and you beat a center. Oh my God. I know you'd want me to be a wide receiver. No, no. You just, you just, you'd be the center. Oh, I have another conversation we can talk about with the kid, I'm switching this one

because I could already see where this is going. Guys, another crazy thing that's happening with our kids, Gino gets his license in seven days. He turned 17 in seven days. We've been driving with him. He's not as great of a driver as Antonia was. She just like had it. It was so easy for her.

This- We're alone, we're alone. But Joe and I- You give him the pressure, cause you break, you yell at him and then you make him nervous. Yeah, because he goes, like I said, Gino, it's a green light and you're making a left the other people have the right of way like you can't just make a

left you have to wait for it to clear first we went to the store yesterday when you know went to buy that food oh my god you let him drive go what you slamming your brakes why you let that person go cuz mom yells at me let her go first I got no you have the right of way go. He goes, no, see mom would've yelled at me. No, Joe, he doesn't have the right of way if he's making a left. No, he does not. Oh my God, don't drive with him.

You're gonna confuse him. But now Joe and I are arguing because I keep saying to Joe every day, like, come on, Joe, why is a dog freaking out? We need to go look for a car for Gino. Like, we need to go look for a car for Gino. Like it's we need to go look for a car for Gino and Joe keeps like blowing me off, blowing me off, blowing me off and Gino is asking for obviously like he sees what his sister

got so he's thinking oh I'm getting something great as well which we would never screw him over. He's a great kid. But like, I don't believe in getting a boy a fast car of any sort when they first start driving. And I think Joe just is completely ignoring me in this situation. Every time I ask him, what are we gonna do? Let's go look for a car. He's like, I got it, I'm handling it.

And I do not trust him. So I feel like, Joe, tell the listeners what you're gonna do because we all wanna know. There's only seven days left and I don't know what kind of car my son's getting. I haven't made a decision either. I mean, I really don't know. No, you did.

I can tell you no, I can tell. He did this with Antonia too. Like all of a sudden one day a car pulled up for Antonia. You guys actually saw it on the Real Housewives in New Jersey. That was live footage of us and me being shocked that like the car came a couple days before her birthday and we were like, what is this? And like it was very exciting. But Joe, you're snaking me or you're sneaking behind my back.

You're doing something. No, I'm not. I feel like I should be part of the conversation in what car my son drives though. No? You should. When I know I just have in the eye. Okay. Who knows?

So I'll just go buy one tomorrow. Do you want to do it like that? Oh, you're going to buy it? Yeah. All right. I mean, I just feel like you're not keeping me involved in the conversation, which I do not think is cool, by the way. The other quick thing I wanna talk to you about is, so that, whatever, that's the Gino conversation, guys.

Whatever car Gino gets next week, I guess, I'll find out when Gino finds out and everyone else finds out, because Joe is totally like sneaking me. I'm gonna find out when you find out. I'm just gonna find out that day too. Oh my God. That's it.

Yeah, well, we'll see what happens. You know what else, wait, do you wanna believe this? This is kind of funny. We know what I saw on Instagram today, which I was actually like, I was in shock over. I was like, is this a proven fact? So I saw, cause you know how you always claim like, this one gets it from me, this kid gets it from me. He's

so gorgeous because he looks like me. This one gets it from me. I saw on Instagram today that most of the genetic traits more often than not come from the father, especially their eyes comes from the father, skin color, height, and personality. All four things primarily for genetic traits that babies more often inherit from the father. Like don't you think that's crazy? That's bullshit. I don't believe that.

Well, what do they get from us? I don't believe there's there's guys that are, you know, five foot two and their sons are six foot nine. No, but like, I guess it has to be a mixture with their, you know, their wives and their families. Who the hell knows? But I'm telling you, I saw this today on Instagram that like the father really does take over most of the like they inherit the babies inherit most of the trades from the dad.

Like, isn't that crazy? It depends. It depends how you have sex with them. How they what? It's how you have sex with them how they what it's how you have sex with oh my god my father should tell me listen when you look at you when our kids are born he goes you didn't look at your wife's when you having sex and you're making your babes you look in your wife's eyes I go I don't know he goes because look they don't have your eyes none of you kids he goes you got to look at their eyes oh my

god your daddy used to say that to me your dad used to say that to me. Your dad used to say that to me. He used to say, Oh, no, he no look in your eyes, because then they're gonna get brown eyes. You got to look away from my son. Or like, I forget what he used to say, because he wanted him to get your green eyes. When you're conceiving a baby, he baby because you got to look into her eyes Yeah, look into your eyes. Oh my god. I forgot he used to say that all the time. I was like what is going on here? I'm like crazy. Okay

All right, I was like a twenty-fucking seven-year-old girl this I'm like, well, okay And I probably did look straight into your eyes the whole time too that affected my life I was like trying to make it happen. I'm like, look at my eyes. Don't get your green eyes. Like, hurry up. Now she still looks in my eyes and she's like, look at this son of a bitch.

I'm still with him. Still same old thing. Dinga, dinga, dinga. Oh my God. All right, well what else? I looked at her the other morning. Well, listen, literally, what was this yesterday the day before I looked at it? We woke up in the morning. I looked over to she was sitting there looking at me. I

Go you still here. I know we did say that we spent a couple We spent the last cuz it was a long weekend was like all day Friday all day Saturday all day Sunday all day Monday Usually Joe works and so do I we just didn't work from Friday to Monday and we were just together every day and waking up. And you did say that to me. You said you're still here. I'm still here. I'm here baby.

You should be so happy that I'm still here. I'm thrilled. All right, well any final thoughts you wanna say to our listeners today because I think I roasted you enough. I think that we gave them a little taste of what's been going on in our life for the long weekends. And I guess they're gonna be as excited as I am to find out what car you buy Gino for his birthday because you're just scamming us all behind our backs. So are you gonna do it before or after? Are you gonna do it on his birthday or

before his birthday? I don't know. Can we get a hint? I gotta find a car first. Give us a hint. I haven't even looked. I already told you. I mean I looked. I'm just not happy with anything so. Why not? I don't because I'm confused. Okay safety first. Right. No sports cars. No. Safety first. Let's remember that. Agree.
