Not Skinny But Not Fat

This week, Melissa Gorga is on the pod! . We talk celebrating Christmas with Teresa , where things really stand with her sister in law right now, and what she says to people who are convinced their reconciliation is tied to filming rumors. We chat about life without The Real Housewives of New Jersey, whether she misses it, and what if anything she’s heard from Bravo. She addresses cast speculation, who she’d want back, running into the Manzos and other blasts from the past. Plus, her sprinkle cookie empire, starting a family super young and how Joe changed his tune on having a working wife!

Ali Larter is here! We get into the Landman obsession — what it’s like to play Angela, stepping into her most provocative role yet, and acting opposite Billy Bob Thornton, including their intense, passionate on- and off-set dynamic. We also rewind to her early career: being discovered at 14, Final Destination, Legally Blonde memories, and what the late ’90s/early 2000s fame machine was really like. Ali opens up about motherhood, moving her family to Idaho, balancing ambition with kids, confidence at 49 (turning 50!), aging gracefully in Hollywood, and why she feels more powerful now than ever.
