00:00One thing about Harry, he knows the game.
00:02If you're there to play a game, he can play the game.
00:05Because I could have whacked him.
00:06He should have been whacked.
00:08Normally, if you think about it, I should have whacked him first.
00:11Because he was the other capo, right?
00:14And he was coming for my job.
00:16But I had to keep him in.
00:21Virtual reality.
00:23Joe Gorga, unfortunately, you're already off the mob.
00:27We are so, I mean, we're so happy to be spending time with you yet again.
00:31But come on!
00:32How do you feel about your departure from the mob?
00:35I killed it, right?
00:36I was killing it.
00:37You were.
00:38You were doing too well, I think.
00:40That's the problem.
00:41When you're too good, they want to get you out.
00:43You know?
00:43And see how I played the game?
00:45I played it right.
00:46Played it right.
00:47Now, we weren't sure if maybe, because I remember last time we talked to you,
00:49that Melissa was missing you and a little jealous you were going.
00:51We weren't sure if she told everyone, get him off as soon as you can.
00:56She probably did.
00:59I wouldn't put him past her.
01:00What was it like when you got home and you were reunited with Melissa?
01:05Oh, Alana, you know, she couldn't wait to see me.
01:08She was dying for me.
01:09So, you know, Alana had to run right up to the bedroom, take care of business.
01:15And also, what I love is, even though your time on the mob was not as long as we would
01:19have liked, you made an impression, because Parker Posey was singing all of your praises
01:24on The Tonight Show.
01:26Right, yes.
01:27How was that?
01:27That was so cool.
01:29Let me tell you something.
01:30That was great.
01:31And I love her.
01:32She's awesome.
01:33We spent a lot of time together because I sat in that mob chair for a while.
01:37You know, I was actually, I can't say much, but I was up there with her a lot.
01:41And we spent a lot of time together.
01:43She's awesome.
01:44She's amazing.
01:44I really did.
01:45I had a lot of fun with her.
01:46And do you know what I love is that she was saying you weren't so familiar with her work
01:50and she also wasn't very familiar with your work on reality TV.
01:54Do you think that facilitated space for you guys to get to know each other better because
01:58you weren't familiar with each other?
02:01Yes, because I sat down like, listen, who are you?
02:03What do you do?
02:04You know, I don't watch much TV.
02:07I'm always out working or at events or doing my thing.
02:09So it's very hard to catch up on some stuff.
02:12But I actually liked her as a person.
02:15I mean, we really, we bonded in that moment when we were hanging out.
02:18So, and we really couldn't spend too much time together because they had you on lockdown
02:22because it is a competition show.
02:25But me and Parker were together a lot.
02:27And I could hang with her.
02:29I could definitely hang with her, do some shots with her.
02:32I might take her out one night.
02:34Oh, you got to take her to Jersey.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Yes.
02:36Yeah.
02:37So a good time.
02:38Too, while you and Parker didn't fully know each other, when we caught up with your friend
02:40Harry Jousey, he did not know who Debbie Mazur was at all and thought she was like
02:44an extra.
02:45Did you know who Debbie Mazur was?
02:47I did.
02:48I did.
02:48I know Debbie, of course.
02:50I've watched all the good, you know, the Goodfellow shows, all that.
02:53Yeah, I did.
02:54And now who do you think you're going to be missing the most from the mob?
02:58Or who did you miss the most from the mob when you left the show that you didn't get
03:06to see it much yet?
03:07But Romeo was my man.
03:08Romeo, Harry, Shane, you know, I'm going to miss all those guys.
03:13Those guys are great.
03:14Real guys.
03:16Bruno.
03:16Bruno was funny as hell.
03:18He was awesome.
03:19But he was dying to get out of there.
03:21He was like, I got to go.
03:22Yeah.
03:23Well, somebody whacked me.
03:24It worked.
03:26Yeah.
03:26You got whacked.
03:27When you got home, how soon did you have to start filming Housewives or were they already
03:32filming Housewives?
03:35We, oh, no, we had a story.
03:37It was within a couple of days.
03:38Wow.
03:39Oh, my God.
03:40So you came home right on time then.
03:42Oh, yeah.
03:43Right on time and started filming.
03:45I believe they even started without me.
03:48Yes.
03:49Without Joe.
03:52No show without Joe.
03:54Wait.
03:54And I mean, the Jersey fun never stops.
03:56We saw that Frankie had his other, his New Jersey wedding over the weekend.
04:00How was that?
04:01That was fun.
04:03Everyone was there.
04:04You had the old cast.
04:05You had the new cast.
04:06They're all mingling.
04:07It was pretty wild.
04:08Do you know what was so crazy is I saw that Jennifer Aiden and Margaret Joseph's pose in
04:13a photo together.
04:14I was like, did hell freeze over?
04:15Like, how did we get here?
04:18Them, the foodas, they all took a picture there.
04:21They're all hanging out, drinking, having a good time.
04:25I don't know.
04:26That's wild.
04:27And you know, Dolores really controls everybody.
04:30She calls the shots.
04:30She'll make you on your best behavior.
04:32Yeah.
04:32Well, she had everybody, you know, not everyone showed up, but people did show up and it was
04:37a good party.
04:39She knows how to throw a party.
04:41Everyone got along?
04:42Everybody got along.
04:43Yeah.
04:44No tables flipping.
04:45Wow.
04:45Nobody throwing wine glasses.
04:47No, it was okay.
04:48Who were you most excited to see from the old cast you didn't get to film with this past
04:53season that maybe you missed a little bit?
04:56Well, I was always Frank Catania, Joe Peningo, you know, Billy.
05:01We were all hanging out, having a great time.
05:02I miss those guys.
05:05Who else?
05:06I mean, that's all I really saw that night that was there.
05:09John Fuda, obviously.
05:11So, yeah.
05:12These are all my boys.
05:13We're all just having a good time.
05:14We were drinking like fish.
05:18We love that.
05:19And also what I love is that you love to post on threads.
05:22And we did ask Harry about this and Melissa about this.
05:25So, we have to ask you, what are you qualifying as kinky sex now that some time has settled
05:29for that post?
05:30What am I qualifying?
05:32Yeah.
05:32Listen, everything I, supposedly, you know, everything I do is kinky, I guess.
05:37So, you know, I was curious because my wife was like, oh, you know, you're kinky, you're
05:42so this, you're so now.
05:43I said, okay, so I want to, I want to ask everybody, what do they think kinky sex is?
05:48So, you know, I was getting answers.
05:50Oh, I was getting answers on ideas.
05:52I was getting answers.
05:52I'm trying to say, then I was like, listen, I'm not that kinky.
05:55That wasn't that crazy.
05:57Wait, and I also heard that you're getting along really well with Rosie's husband from Rhode
06:01Island, Rich.
06:02Yes.
06:03He's so fun.
06:04I get along with all those guys, man.
06:06They're all great.
06:07Everybody's great, you know?
06:08Now that the new cast for this new season of New Jersey has been announced and we can
06:14finally talk about these girls and their husbands, is there one particular couple that you and
06:18Melissa get along with the best, do you think?
06:22The best is we spent a lot of time with Nadia and Tommy.
06:28You know, a lot of time with them.
06:30But I tell you, we like them all.
06:32We really do.
06:33Oh, I saw that you actually, you were just at Nadia's med spa getting some fun treatments.
06:39What are we doing?
06:40Yeah.
06:40What do we get done?
06:41I got Botox, man.
06:43I got to get my stuff, you know?
06:44I mean, it looks good.
06:46It looks good.
06:46How's it look?
06:47Good.
06:47It looks really good.
06:48I mean, you always look good, but this looks fabulous.
06:50Yeah.
06:51I walk in there and she's like, Joe, you don't need much.
06:54She gives me one or two and I'm out of there.
06:56And I say, I wake up this way, guys.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Was this the first time you did Botox?
07:01No, no.
07:02I've been doing Botox.
07:03Oh, no.
07:04It's been about a year now.
07:06Oh, nice.
07:06And we're loving it.
07:07I guess if it's been over a year, you're a fan.
07:09Yes, I'm a fan.
07:10Yes.
07:11Nice.
07:11Is there anything that when you were there that you were like, oh, I'm kind of tempted
07:15to do this next?
07:17No, not yet.
07:18You know, Melissa's like, oh, your eyes are getting a little and everyone says, no, they're
07:22fine.
07:22But Melissa's trying to say, no, you need your eyes done.
07:25What's the matter?
07:25My eyes.
07:26My eyes are fine.
07:27But all the doctors are like, no, his eyes are good.
07:31So even at Dolores' Frankie's wedding, there's a plastic surgeon there.
07:36Melissa's like, how's his eyes?
07:37He goes, this guy's perfect.
07:38He doesn't need anything.
07:40I said, you see, Melissa?
07:42There you go.
07:43I think Pauly got his eyes done.
07:45So whenever you're ready, I'm sure he has a great recommendation, but we think you're
07:49perfect, Joe.
07:51Yeah, that's the doc.
07:52Pauly got his eyes done.
07:53I hate needles.
07:54I don't like being around needles.
07:56Oh, gotcha.
07:57See when I get that Botox, I'm holding that stuffed animal.
08:00I can't stand it.
08:01Oh, that is so cute.
08:02It can be scary.
08:04I'm such a little bitch.
08:06I am.
08:08Well, I'm glad there weren't any needles involved in the mob, because I would have
08:11been a really different side of Joe that we would have seen in Tuscany.
08:14Oh, yeah.
08:14It would have been over.
08:15How do you like the mob?
08:16You like it?
08:17It's good.
08:17Yeah.
08:17It's fine.
08:18Well, the only issue is there's not enough you on it now.
08:20I know.
08:21I'm like bummed now that you're not on it.
08:23Like you said, there's no show without Joe for Housewives and the mob.
08:27You know, who knows?
08:28Let's see how these ratings go down.
08:30Yeah.
08:31No, but I mean, I mean, Harry Jowsey will keep us very entertained, too, because he is
08:35just everything.
08:36Yeah, everybody's great.
08:37Everybody was great on that cast anyway.
08:39They could run that whole show.
08:41Well, that's what I love.
08:42I love it.
08:43It's such a group of people that I never would picture together.
08:46But you all gelled so well, too, which was so fun.
08:49Yes, yes.
08:50See, I was playing everyone.
08:51I was keep watching episodes.
08:53I was playing everybody.
08:54See, I didn't really want to win the show.
08:56I really wanted to just create a good show and get everybody, you know, all drama, get
09:01everybody excited into the show.
09:04So it kind of worked.
09:05It worked out good.
09:06It's funny, because that's what Harry, when we talked to him, he was like, he was saying
09:10that everybody on the cast likes him right now, but he's worried for when more episodes
09:14come out, they're going to see all the he was doing behind their backs and they're
09:17going to turn on him.
09:19Well, Harry, let me tell you something.
09:21One thing about Harry, he knows the game.
09:23If you're there to play a game, he can play the game, because I could have whacked him.
09:27He should have been whacked.
09:29Normally, if you think about it, I should have whacked him first, because he was the
09:33other cop-o, right?
09:35That's funny.
09:36And he was coming for my job, but I had to keep him in, because I liked him, and he
09:40caused a lot of drama, you know?
09:42So I kept him around.
09:44Do you wish that you would have whacked him?
09:47No.
09:48Oh, see, you're such a sweetie.
09:50That's why you call the teddy bear a Botox.
09:52He's like, I'm not going to whack my boy.
09:54Aw, Joe.
09:56I got to keep him alive.
09:57He's younger than me.
09:58I didn't let him keep going.
09:59Oh my God.
10:01Well, Joe, even though your time on the mob was a little shorter than we thought, your
10:04legacy is going to live on for it.
10:06And I mean, we can't wait to watch you in Jersey so soon, too.
10:09There you go.
10:09Coming up.
10:10Real soon.
10:11Very soon.
10:12Yes.
10:13Oh my God, Joe, you know we always love catching up with you.
10:15Always love you guys.
10:16You guys are the best.
10:16Thank you, Joe.
