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.
