It's a fun, couple-filled podcast this week as Melissa and Joe are joined by Rachel and John Fuda.  

Whether it's shady castmates starting their own rumors about RHONJ's future, the struggles of being in the passenger seat with your crazy driving partner, or the recently re-ignited fascination with the Menendez brothers case, these four have a lot to talk about.  

We also get an update on Baby #4 from the Fudas, and John very honestly answers if he truly knew what he was getting into when Rachel joined the franchise.

We all need a little more Margaret in our lives, so we got her this week.

Melissa invites the one and only, Margaret Josephs, onto the show to talk about all of the off-camera drama with the Real Housewives of Orange County, if she has any regrets about the most recent season of Jersey, and the very honest reason she will never film with certain castmates, ever again. 

Margaret also gives us a positive update on Joe's recent health scare, and where her new drink Soiree will likely be popping up in the near future.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back, and it's a great time to crack into the vault for a little talk with The Wild Rose herself! 

Melissa is joined by the up-front and always empathetic, Whitney Rose, to talk about the reality of reality tv trolls, why accountability is a huge part of forgiveness, and how self-love is a much easier thing to find as you get older. 

Melissa and Whitney also talk about how success can often change the dynamics of a good marriage, and why support is such a crucial piece to the puzzle.

It's a special family episode! Melissa takes off the host shoes this week as she sits down with her incredible cousin, Tara Bogota, to have a girl-to-girl talk. 

As a parent, how do you move towards the point where you can trust your kids on their own?

As a cousin, how do you make sure your family stays tight, especially as drama tries to break in from the outside? 

As two health nuts, how do you balance wellness and being Cosmo Queens? 

The ladies answer these questions and much more. Plus, Tara shares a hilarious story about going under the knife, and how the family reacted before anything actually happened.

Melissa welcomes the lovely Lesa Milan from The Real Housewives of Dubai onto the podcast to talk about the latest drama in Dubai, if the recent reunion mended any fractured friendships, and why some of her castmates only want to throw shade her way.

The two also discuss why fame is handled very differently in the US compared to Dubai, the next business Lesa thinks Melissa should venture into, and how (and why) Lesa bribes her kids to appear on tv.

Chaos has struck the Gorga household, and Joe and Melissa are here to talk all about it.

Whether it's a monstrous creature wandering through the backyard, a hideous trailer overstaying it's welcome in the front, or just completely forgetting what day it is; The Gorga's have had quite a week. 

Not to mention this all happened while the kids started school, Gino is days away from driving, and Joe got a little "talking-to" from a cop. 

Catch up with the Gorgas this week.

She’s made quite a splash in Orange County, and Melissa has her on the show this week! Jennifer Pedranti sits down with Melissa to talk about finding her voice in the noisy world of Housewives, her friendships that have changed dramatically between seasons, and why a story on reality tv is only a tiny portion of what’s really going down.

Melissa catches up with the Two Ts in a Pod, Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp, for a special two-part episode. In this first part the girls talk about where Tamra now stands with some of her current (and former) castmates, why reality tv marriages should be counted in dog years, and how Teddi's experiences filming Orange County and Beverly Hills were very different.

The ladies also talk about certain housewives who try anything to get their name out in the press, and how the most "disgusted" castmates can sometimes make the most disgusting social moves.
