Gym Toast Laundry with Snooki: Thursday, December 11th, 2025

24:04And if you're looking for the perfect gift for everyone on your list, the Skims Holiday Shop is now open at skims.com. That's S-K-I-M-S dot com. Today's episode is also brought to you by Built Rewards. It's almost 2026 and you're still paying rent without Built. Yikes. Big yikes. Can never be me. I've been using Built for years. We really just can't have you doing that, you guys. So Built is a loyalty program for renters. It rewards you for your biggest monthly expense, which for most of us is rent. I love renting. There's nothing I don't love about renting except for the part where every month it feels like you're lighting money on fire.

24:36It hasn't felt that way for me for many years because I've been a Built Rewards member like almost since their inception. They're giving you points for paying rent. That's all we've been asking for for years. Here's how it works. With Built, every rent payment earns you points that can be used like any other points towards flights, hotels, Lyft rides, Amazon.com purchases, and so much more. And when you pay rent through Built, you unlock access to exclusive benefits from a network of more than 45 ,000 merchants. So just link your credit cards, spend at your favorite local spots, and earn Built Points on top of your regular card rewards, and get one step closer to the trip you wanted to take.

25:06Personally, I like to redeem my points on travel. I am friends with Brian Kelly, the points guy. I feel like I'm really kind of better than everybody else at points. I love to get like a nice free night. I love to get a free first class upgrade. Travel is, but you know, everybody likes to redeem points in their own way. It's quite personal. all. Paying rent is just better with Bilt. You can earn rewards and finally get something back for being a renter. And the points from Bilt have been ranked the most valuable point currency by the points guy. And they just announced Bilt Cash, which is a way to unlock even more value from their partners.

25:35So join the loyalty program for renters at joinbilt.com slash toast. That's J-O-I-N-B-I-L-T dot com slash toast. Make sure to use that link so they know they'll be saying you. That's joinbilt.com slash toast. And your kids, how do you feel now being a mom? Do you feel differently like is your approach to reality tv different because you're still on reality tv you're obviously not doing the same thing you were doing when you were 21 do you take a different approach to it now do you think a little bit more about it you think less about it do you care do you like having them on tv you mean yeah and then also what you do and say on tv i mean as a mom i try and be better on tv but you know sometimes the the wine's flowing of course and me and dina will be meatballs still sometimes.

26:18But when it comes to the kids on TV, I'll ask them. I'll be like, do you guys want to do this scene? Do you want to be on this with me? Lorenzo's like, no, I hate it. So I'm like, fine, I'm not going to push you. Giovanna, she's iffy. Sometimes she's like, yes and no. And then Angelo, he's six. So I'm like, do you want to do this, honey? And he's like, yeah. And then he's grabbing the camera and being fun. So I'm asking for consent now. And I'm not going to push them to do something they don't want to do. But I mean, obviously, I would love for my entire family to be a part of it. It's fun to watch and it's also fun to watch you on social media like be so normal in so many ways I think a lot of people relate to like you're kind of like this zealous cheer mom you travel all over with your daughter yeah non-stop non-stop you're you know peeing your pants you're at cheer competition screaming your head off I've peed my pants I was like I need to go to the hotel and change my underwear because I'm gonna get an infection so you actually I literally left and changed yes what do the other moms make of you the moms at school like I feel like it would be so fun if like Snooki was like a mom in my class um well I feel like because everybody knows Gianni in the town that it's just like oh this is Gianni's wife because he grew up there so like Gianni's more of like the famous one because you know his family does wrestling and all of that yeah so it's kind of like Gianni first then me like oh cool he would marry you know someone famous like that.

27:38So it's not that crazy. And he grew up with all the all the parents. So it's like all of his friends. Oh, that's nice. The cheer moms are a different story. But they treat me normal. Yeah. Which is nice. Like I want to be treated normal. I don't want like any special treatment. Like I'm just a mom like you. Like let's just be normal. And so you did gymnastics or cheer growing up? I did competitive gymnastics for 13 years. Wow. And then it just it's a lot. It's a lot. It takes up a lot of your time. And I just, I wasn't in love with it anymore. So I was like, I want to do something similar. And then I started cheer.

28:14And cheer was fun. I feel like you could have ended up being like an Olympic gymnast. You are, and it's very rare for me to like notice someone's height because nobody is shorter than me. When I gave you a hug, I was shook. You are really a meatball. A meatball. You're 4 '8". 4 '8". That's insane. 4 '8". Wow. And I feel like I'm shrinking every single year. I'm going to be like Strig and Nona when I'm a grandma. I'm going to be like so small. I feel like so are you. So we're going to be shorties. I love being short. Do you love being short? Or do you feel like, did you get bullied or anything?

28:41No, I love being short, like cheer wise. Gymnastics. Yeah, like being small. But like if I was, I feel like I was, if I was three inches taller, I would be stretched out. Oh. Because, you know, if we gain 10 pounds, it looks like we gain 50. I always think about how like I would be the perfect weight if I was six feet tall. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So it's annoying in that aspect. But no, I do like being short. You know, you also experience like a major weight loss in the public eye. I'm curious what that was like. You know, I got told all the time growing up that I looked like you. And then when you got really skinny, like nobody said that to me ever again.

29:13And your weight was also, there was a famous fight. Were you guys in Atlantic City when you said pass the rolls and situation said, you have enough already? Yeah. Something like that? Yeah. What was that like? That must have been traumatizing. I probably would never forgive Mike the situation. Well, it took me a while to forgive him. But growing up, I definitely had an eating disorder. I feel like all of us have experienced that in some time and even now it's just like I want to eat that but I don't want to gain weight it's just an ongoing cycle for us women even men too so yeah it started really bad in high school with cheerleading I think yeah with cheerleading because I was a senior and these small freshman girls were coming up I didn't want to lose my flyer spot so I literally got down to like 87 pounds senior year and And my coach was like, this is not okay.

30:03And I was like fainting at practice. It was bad. Yeah. And I was just eating like two cucumbers a day. Jesus. It got so bad. And then I was like, you need to like live your life and stop freaking out. So after high school, that's when I like started going out and like partying. And I was like, you know what? I'm just going to enjoy myself. So when I started Jersey Shore, I was kind of, that was like my heaviest. Was it? Yeah. Season one. Do you feel like being on TV and being in the public eye made your eating disorder worse? No, I just got fatter. Wow. If you see the seasons going, I just keep gaining weight.

30:35And I think it's just because I just felt okay with myself. I'm like, I was always confident in how I looked. But yeah, the cheerleading didn't help. So my weight has been fluctuating for years. Your whole life, yeah. Up and down, up and down. Yeah, I think a lot of people can relate to that. Yeah. When I just look back at your entire career, and it's actually very cool that you guys are still doing the show. You're still so close. I can't think of a comparison to like another cast that still really loves one another. It's not somebody who's on the outs. It's not somebody we don't talk to. Like you're all pretty much like really family.

31:09And I think that reads. And when you guys got back together for the first reunion show, it was a cultural reset. Like it was so. It was at 2019. I guess. I think. It was something I don't think people thought about. And then when we did it, we were like, oh my God, I can't believe we've not had these people on our TV for so many years. You guys were really made for it. And now the show is very different and you do a lot of like more personal home stuff and you guys go to each other's weddings and you're all having babies. And it's really fun to see. Do you think it will – will you get to a point where you don't want to do it anymore you think?

31:39No. We keep saying we're going to do it until like we're in diapers at a nursing home. Like we want to keep doing this forever. I don't know if it's going to be the same place because a lot of things are changing right now. But yeah, if we're done at this place, we're definitely going somewhere else. It's like we already have different agendas of what we're going to do and how the show is going to be. So, yeah, we want to be doing this forever. You guys are really built for it. Yeah. So Mike wrote the book. And a lot of the book he talks about how the money was, like, gone because he spent it all on drugs.

32:11And at first he was spending it all on cars. Then he had to sell the cars for drugs. Crazy. Crazy. Like, I could not believe. I'm always recommending his book because I think a lot of people have preconceived notions about it. And it's so, like, deep. And it's really interesting how candid he is about the money. and there was a time when you guys renegotiated your contracts as a group. Is that right? Yeah, every single season. And you decided, like, no one was going to get more, no one was going to get less. We were all going to be getting the same. If you're comfortable, what was the most you ever made per episode on the original show?

32:41Well, six figures. Wow. Uh-huh. Wow. Yeah. And your dad was, like, instrumental in? Yes, thank God. Yeah. Because I wanted to buy all these things. Right. About everything. Does he still have, like, any involvement in your business? No, so he used to run my business. And then I was like, you know what? Like, I have two kids now. Like, I need to be able to do this myself. So I ended up taking over. And he felt a type of way about it. But I was like, Dad, I need to be an adult. And I need to do this on my own. Like, I know I'm your baby always. But, like, I need to do this on my own. So I still have them on payroll.

33:14Just, you know, being my parents and helping me out. Of course. But, yeah, I ended up taking everything on my own. Do you think that when your parents adopted you, they had any idea? like the fireball that you were. And you also recently shared on the show that you FaceTimed with your birth parents. Yeah. Can you talk about that a little bit? Yeah. So I never thought I would like reach out because I never cared. Like I always knew I was adopted. They never had to have a conversation with me. So I was like, I'm brown. You guys are white. Like we don't look alike. But I know. I always said, you bought me at a store.

33:45Like, can you buy another one? Because I always wanted a brother or sister. Did you have no siblings growing up? No, so annoyed. Oh, that's so interesting. I know. You don't give only child. really yeah everything should be about me and i'm spoiled brother i don't know why i just like made that up well now i do well of course i haven't met um so yeah i never thought that i would like want to reach out or like see but then angelina did it on the show because she found out her dad wasn't her dad wow yeah and she ended up using uh this genealogist who like finds people so i was like you know what let me just reach out to her and all i wanted in the beginning was to get like a binder because i wanted to see what they look like so i always hated the fact that my parents didn't look like me and nobody looked like me.

34:24But then when I had my kids, that kind of like filled the void. Totally. Yeah. I was like, Lorenzo looks just like me. Giovanna's my twin. Your kids look just like you. I don't see your husband. Like I literally see you. I know. He's like, are these my kids? It's God's way of paying you back. Like for not having siblings or seeing yourself growing up. Yeah. So that kind of filled the void. But then I was like, you know, I really want to see like what my birth mom looks like if I have any siblings. So then that happened. And I was like, oh my God, this is so cool. Like I kind of want to text them.

34:50So it started out with a text. And then they were open to hearing from you, but they have no idea who I am still. Like in terms of like you being famous. Yeah. They have no, they don't know my name. They don't know who I am. They just know that I have a good life and thank you for giving birth to me and giving me a better life and you know, all the things. Um, so I think my birth mom's grateful that she knows that I'm good because she had no idea where I went. It was a closed adoption. Where were you born? Santiago, Chile. Wow. And then your parents came to Santiago to adopt you? They came to pick me up.

35:25That's amazing. So cute. I know. Stop. That's so cute. Your parents were such a great addition to the show and your dad sort of being this like moral compass. Every time you were in trouble, you called him famously when you got arrested. I think that. They had to call your dad. I know. Walk me through that phone call. Like what kind of parent was he? Was he strict? did you know he was going to be mad but he was going to come anyway like and what was the overall like was he mad or was he more so just like let me help i knew he was going to be mad but he wasn't going to be like pack your bags you have to leave because he loved the experience for me um my mom was more like just leave this isn't good for you so my mom was more of like you know the loving like this isn't good for you or your health like you got to get out of there my dad was like what the fuck but you know stay yeah this is fun so it was like two different things and i'm like i think i'm gonna listen to my dad yeah so i knew he was gonna be mad and hate me but i knew he was gonna be there and help me yeah and also when i called him i was still drunk wait okay so can you walk me through because my worst nightmare is going to prison you got like thrown in the drunk tank yes for how long so i remember getting arrested well it's all a blur to be honest because i was so drunk but i remember going into the station and they were taking my picture and i'm like can you do that again because I hated my pose so that's why I have two iconic and I see you're selling some merch with your yes store is by the way for a Jersey Shore fan a dream uh-huh yeah so I have two mug shots and I hated both of them so I got annoyed they wouldn't take another one I'm like come on and they wouldn't delete like the other one I know this is gonna be on TMZ can it be cute but they didn't care you knew at the time like you understood what was happening yeah that you were this famous person I'm like this is not gonna be great I'm gonna be like Lindsay Lohan on freaking the cover of everything.

37:06But they were very nice to me. Before they threw me in the drunk tank, they let me sit down on a spinny chair and I was spinning, eating donuts. And then they threw me in and then I passed out for a little bit. And then the roommates came to pick me up and I thought it was the next day. I thought I was in there for 24 hours. So when I get into the car, I'm like, can we go to Denny's? I was like, I need breakfast. I'm cracking up. They were like, Nicole, you've been in there for only like an hour and a half. Oh my God. I was like, oh. So net net, it wasn't that long. No, it was so quick. And did the cops, obviously like everyone in town knew you, yeah?

37:34Yeah. So, like, you knew you were famous and you feel like they were a little bit nicer to you because of that? I think so. Such an iconic day. But also, like, I wasn't being aggressive to them. I was, like, being funny in there. Right, right. And I was like, oh, my God, what's going to happen? Am I going to die? Yeah. I was like, is someone going to touch me? If I was a cop, I would have, like, loved my day at work that day just picking you up. I'm sure it was the best day of their lives. You gave it all. Like, you really did. Am I right in remembering that you have some sort of beef with Andy Cohen?

38:00Did he say something, like, not nice once or twice about you? Yeah, but it was more of just like, you know, is she ever going to be a housewife? Right. And he was like, no, we don't want her. Like something like that. And I'm like, it's fine, Andy. I don't want to come over there. Yeah, right. But we're fine now. Okay. Yeah, we're fine. Do you find yourself holding grudges? Are you like a grudgy person? Not really. But if you really do me dirty, like I'll just dead you. Yeah. Like I want nothing to do with you ever again. You'll never see me again. Right. I love that. Yeah. I'm a Sagittarius. When's your birthday?

38:31Yeah, November 23rd. I was going to say September. Oh, it's just your birthday. Happy birthday. Yeah. How did you celebrate? I really did nothing. I just went out to eat with Gianni. That's so mom of three. Yeah. Well, we actually, we went out to eat and then my mother-in-law took the kids. So we went to my shore house and just stayed there for the night. So fun. Kid free. Of course. So it was nice. You know, I'm very much in my mom era and it's really like quite admirable that you have this very successful business. How many months out of the year do you film? um like four months no five months and you also are a full-time mom you have three kids I watch you on Instagram you do the cheer you do school drop-off like you the stores the stores what what would you say is the key now not everyone can do it all but you seem to be balancing it well how what do you attribute that to I don't know okay I don't know I appreciate everyone always They always ask me and I'm like, I don't know how I do it.

39:26They're like, you're so busy. And I think I'm great at multitasking and I like being busy because I feel like if I'm just sitting, I feel useless. And I feel like I'm not doing anything work-wise or like helping my kids' future or making money for them. You know what I mean? Of course. So I like being busy, but I'm a good sleeper. So I think sleep really helps me. Like I can be in bed by 7 and sleep all night. So I like sleeping. So maybe the sleeping. Did your relationship with money change a lot when you had kids? like spending wise just like like I feel like I've always been really um my sister calls me cheap but I don't like that word just like I'm very conscious of money like I'm very financially I like to think prudent and when I became a mom I think I let I let go of it a little bit because it's like well you know this is what's best for me this is what's best for my family like fuck it you know um so I feel like I had a little bit of a shift in relationship with money but you say like you know you grew up without it and then you got a ton of it and then you became become a mom and you think about it a little bit more.

40:21Do you find that that's been your experience? Well, yeah, I feel like I just wanted their futures to be secure. So all my kids are set for college. So God forbid something like dies down. Right. And I don't have the income that I'm having. Like they're already good. Their school, wow. So I'm making sure they're good for life. And then also like in the future, like if they need help with weddings or, you know, their kids or housing, like everything is good for them. Do your kids hang out a lot with your cast members' kids? Play dates, things of that nature? We try to. Yeah. But everyone's so far away.

40:55Right. Does everyone live in New Jersey? So me, Jenny, Sam, Dina, and Mike. All live in Jersey. And Angelina live in Jersey. But in different parts. Scattered. Yeah. It's scattered. Got it. People don't realize how big Jersey is. I know. And then so like how often are you guys really seeing each other? Well, I mean now it was like every day because we're still wrapping up filming. but yeah when we're not filming it's very hard to get together because everyone's doing their own thing. Yeah. It's just been a it's nice to see you guys having such longevity in your careers because I feel like everyone I've met from Jersey Shore is super nice.

41:29We've had Mike on the show we've had Vinny on the show. Oh my god when I tell you when I was watching the show the way I was rooting for you and Vinny so hard I was probably like making fan edits on Twitter like pictures of you and Vinny. Oh my god I can't. And then when I went back and rewatched it I didn't feel so much the same I feel like he was actually kind of like stringing you along and like pretending to be like no offense it's like kind of like a good guy and he was just like kind of being a dick sometimes when you look back on like your romantic relationships on the show do you cringe you look back on it like oh so cute lovingly I just look at it as an experience I guess but like also cringe like why did I do that or why was I so obsessed with the situation right like I don't feel like that now, obviously.

42:12So looking back, I'm just like, oh, God, why? So I'm glad that everything worked out the way it did. Do you look back positively on your Dancing with the Stars journey? Yes. Such an underrated, you crushed it. Thank you. And so now hearing you have a background in gymnastics and dance makes a lot of sense. What definitely helped was learning the routine and the counts and everything. And you were always doing a flip, a back handspring. Yeah. You were flipping. You were incredible. Thank you. Did you love that? It was the best experience of my life. It was. And when I got voted off, I told Dina, the producer, I was like, if you do another all-star season of like people that got let go too early, I was like, you have to bring me back.

42:54Yeah. Because I was like, I feel like I had so much more to give. Yes. And yeah, it sucked. The Oh Mickey dance. And that was also your red hair era. I know. How was life as a redhead? And that was my fit era. Yes, you were tight and fit. You were dancing for your life. I was fit and like muscly. I'm trying to get back to that. But yeah, that was like my best era. Red hair. How was life as a redhead? It's hard. Yeah? Yeah, because you have to keep like fixing it every two weeks. And I had like a million extensions in. My hair is very thick. I had eight bundles in. Wow. So my head was like heavy.

43:25And you had kids at that point, yeah? I only had Lorenzo. And you all moved to LA to do that show? No, I kept flying back and forth. You're kidding. Yeah. That's hard. It was hard. How old was Lorenzo? Not even a year, I feel. Or maybe a year. And we were just talking before that you breastfed your kids. Yes. I love breastfeeding. Okay. So I'm obsessed with breastfeeding and I love to talk to somebody else about it. Obsessed. Obsessed. Did you find it hard to balance work? It's hard enough being a mom and doing literally anything else, but then also kind of being attached to the house every three hours, feeding, feeding, feeding.

43:59I love it, but it's hard. Yeah. So when I breastfed, Giovanna was the best one that I did. Lorenzo, he didn't really latch on, so I only did three months, which that really made me cry because I always said, like, I'm going to breastfeed until they're, you know, one and, yeah. But, like, biting me, and that's when it's going to stop. So Lorenzo was only three months, but I'm glad that I did it, so we got a little bit of it. But Giovanna, she was a trooper, and we did a full year until she bit my nipple. And we were on the bed, I kind of threw her. I was like, ow. We're done. Yeah, I'm like, we're done.

44:31That's it. So I put the cabbage leaves on. You did? Yes. It works. How long? I don't remember. Like a couple of days. I don't remember. I feel like I did it for a week. Okay. Because it really hurts. Yes, it does. It hurts so bad. And actually, it's like your phone listens to you so much. All I do is talk about how I'm going to start weeding breastfeeding. And then what pops up on my TikTok, a girl who lost her leg because she was weaning, got an infection, got a clog, went to the hospital, got a staph infection, and lost her leg. Oh, God. I know. I'm like, okay, that's going to happen to me now.

45:01Okay, no. just do the cabbage leaves and then in the shower express them a little oh yeah so that'll give relief you'll be fine yeah you'll be fine if i did it you could do it yeah no it's really such a it's such and that's why whenever i meet someone who said it i always like have a million questions for them because i feel like it's a sisterhood it's really hard especially if you are a working mom yeah so i definitely when i was working obviously i pumped and i left a lot in the fridge and you know I would bring my pump now now they have pumps that because back in the day I would have to do the thing yep and go that's still the best pump by the way that's still the best pump is it the ones that you like shoving your bra oh my god you could walk around and just pump they do not work unless you have like the tiniest tits ever like no no today's episode of the toast is brought to you by Wayfair which means the holidays are here get what you need fast with Wayfair so everyone spends their holidays different perhaps you're hosting and then of course you need new platters.

What is your relationship with plastic surgery like? Like, are you open? Like, Joey and I are always talking about, like, what we want to get done, what we've gotten done. Yeah, it's very open. Yeah? What have you gotten done, if you don't mind me asking? So I do Botox. And I just, so I get over here. And I've been doing it for a couple years now. But I just started my chin. Because I realize when I smile, it looks like I have cellulite ass on my chin.

51:57Do you have that yet? No, I'm sure it's in my future. Yeah. So 38, you'll probably get it. Like what, you get, like, dimples kind of? Yeah, but it looks like cellulite on your thighs. It's really ugly. So I'm like, I don't know what this is, but can you start doing that? So I do that. And then I just got my boobs done. I'm so jealous. But that was like 11 years ago. Got it. Because then I had two more kids. So they dropped. And yeah, and I got a lift. But I didn't know that when you get a lift, you have to put a little implant in. Yeah, right. And I already had big boobs. So I was like, I don't want to do that.

52:28So they did a little. So I think hopefully this year, I'm going to redo them. Congrats. That's like what I'm looking forward to most. It's like when I'm done having kids, whatever that may be, the first stop will be the doctor's office for breast augmentation. Have you got your boobs done yet? No. I've always had huge boobs. I've always wanted a reduction and a lift. But it was always like a goal of mine to breastfeed my kids. So I was like, you know what? I will do it once and I'll do it after all of this. Yeah. And let me tell you that day can't come soon enough. Well, don't you want more kids?

52:55Yeah, so I got to wait. I would wait. Did you want more than three kids? Did you think you would have less? I always wanted four. Oh. My number was four because that's like my lucky number. I do everything in fours, like four stores. Four is my number. It's like my angel number. So I always said I was going to have four kids. But then after Angelo, I was like, oh, this is a lot. And I feel like I don't. I always felt like a soul up there. And I don't feel that anymore. So I got a dog. What kind of dog? A sheep poo. Joey told me her name. Rocky. Yeah, so Rocky is my fourth. And I love him so much.

53:29And yeah, he's my everything. I love that. Like when I go away on trips, like obviously I miss the kids. but I hug Rocky first. I'm cracking up. And the kids are like, Mommy, and I'm like, Rocky. That's so bad. Do you spend a lot of time away from home besides filming the show? Are you the type of mom who takes her kids everywhere? Or you always are doing your own thing? No, so usually when I go to work, I don't bring the kids because they can't leave for sports and I don't want to take them out for school. So I basically suffer and I'm alone. But I give myself three nights away. I will not do more than three nights because then I will freak out.

54:01and I know when I get home, the house is going to be a disaster. Like when mommy's not home, the place is a mess. Like it's very disorganized. Do you think of the day when one of your kids comes to you and says, I was slipping through the channels and I saw Jersey Shore. Do you want them to see it? Do you not want them to see it? They have. They have. On TikTok. Oh my God, TikTok. TikTok ruined my life with that. So yeah, Lorenzo saw me drunk on the beach, like getting arrested. But he was like, what are you doing here, mom? It's so embarrassing. And I'm like, Lorenzo, this is acting. Like they told me to do it and I had to pretend.

54:33So they do think that it was all pretend and I was acting. But, you know, one day. You'll figure it out. Yeah. I'll be like, you know, that was before mommy. Right. That was her party era. So just don't get as crazy as mommy did. Were there any elements of the show that were scripted? Like were you ever told to do something? Was it like heavily produced? Unfortunately, no. No. You could tell that it's not. I would love to blame it on production and fakeness, but no. No. You could tell when you're watching it that like it's so real. Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah. That house was insane too. That outdoor area that you guys had with the jacuzzi.

55:06The first house? Yeah. Oh, yeah. We thought it was a mansion. I mean, whose roof was that? Because you would like walk across. So it's on that property because you go up the stairs, but it's on top of the shore store. Because Danny owns the shore store and the house. So he was like your landlord. So I guess that wasn't there and they ended up building it out right before the show. And does Danny still own the house outright? Yeah. And you can book it on Airbnb. You could book it on Airbnb or you could do a house tour. I think he charges like$10. Okay. He's undercharging. Good for him. Good for him.

55:36Such an iconic store. Such an iconic career thus far. What do you want to do next? What do you think the next five, ten years of Snooki looks like? I don't know. I mean, I feel like I'm so busy in general, like being a mom. So I want that to be first priority. I don't want to be too crazy. But like also hustling and working is like my second priority. so I mean obviously my stores I would love to keep going with my stores and do crazy things with it and just still love it and do you know what I love but also I have my wine so hoping to get my wine in stores one day you're a podcaster as well busy with my podcast you and Joey have a podcast yeah me and Joey have to get like more crazy with it I just haven't had the time to like really sit down and do it I know because this is like your main thing yes this is like my Jersey Shore right yeah Yeah.

56:26So like we're really trying because we've had our podcast for like 10 freaking years. So we've had us for so long. You have had your podcast for so long since before when Jackie and I first got signed to a network, the network that we were at was called Audioboom and you guys were the biggest show on the network. And we were like so excited that we were at the same network as you guys. And we're like, oh my God, it's no case for podcast here. So you've really been ahead of the curve for quite some time. Yeah. We just we haven't really been doing the new thing. And that's like, you know, video, video and like having a studio and guests.

56:54so I think once filming dies down a little bit I'll have time to do that with Joey because we love our podcast it's so fun you guys have so many good and said jokes come on a pleasure anytime yeah let me ask you a question you did a lot of press in your in your career and especially at the peak of the show you were doing a lot of interviews I believe you were on Wendy Williams yes am I remembering correctly that there was an interview did you ever get like people being judgmental, not wanting to have you on like bad vibes? Well, the view every single time. The view. But I mean, are we surprised with them?

57:27Did you do the view by yourself? No, I always think I did it with the roomies. Why would literally why would anybody put you on that show? Like that's not the place for you. I don't know. But we went on there a lot of times. And it wasn't positive. And Joy just hated us. Remember, she like cornered me in the bathroom. Yeah. And she was just nasty. So yeah, I mean, I guess it was good exposure to like do a controversial show. Right. And what would they ask you? Just like, do you really drink that much? And, you know, just like annoying things. It's like, it's not that serious. Right. Like we're not bad people.

58:03Let me ask you another question. So much of my like worldview of you and your friends is from Mike's book. At any point in the house, did you have any idea that he was dealing with such a bad addiction? No. When did you find out? Everything that Mike wrote in the book, we had no idea. Oh, you're kidding. We had no idea. So we knew like he was on things because he would act insane. Oh. Like not normal. When he grabbed his head into the wall in Florence. Yeah, but like just other things that like they don't show off camera. And we're just like, why are you acting like that? And we knew he wasn't drinking.

58:35So we knew it was something. But yeah, we had no idea that he was like hiding things in his shoes and like doing all the things. So it was very heartbreaking to steer. He was taking like 60 pills in one day, like just to get by. We had no freaking idea. You had no idea. And obviously production didn't know because every time we would film, they went through every crevice of our suitcase to make sure we weren't bringing in drugs or anything. Really? Yes, every single time. Oh, that's interesting. So he was really hiding it in there. Yeah. And so when did you find out that he had been struggling so badly?

59:05Well, I think once we all had a falling out with him, we were just like, we don't know how to deal with this anymore and we're not really getting along. So it's kind of just like a falling out. Got it. And then once we got back together and he was really working on himself, you know, we were there for him and we were proud of him. And now he just celebrated 10 years. Insane. He is so inspirational. I recommend his book to everybody. Did you ever visit him in prison? Yes, we did. You did? We did. We did like twice. It was like a camp. Right. It was like a financial crimes prison. It wasn't like real prison.

59:35Right. Like scary. It was just like he was at like a day camp. Yeah. And they had activities and they were doing like cooking classes. Yeah. They were doing like fun things. because I think it wasn't like it was like the tax evasion yeah right so that's a great question because I always think about people who rise to fame really quickly end up in financial trouble because of their taxes was that also your dad making sure that you were like 100 % kept up with the IRS yeah because I had no idea about taxes or any of that especially when you get to that level I'm like how do I file that I didn't even know how to write a check wow because I just never had money like that so my dad really helped me and my mom Both my parents.

1:00:15So yeah, my dad really helped with the taxes, and he still does. Where did you file? Where do your parents live? Marlboro still. Oh, that's so nice. They still live upstate. How often do you see them? Not often, which sucks. That does. But they're both retired now, so they're able to come whenever. And it's only like an hour and a half drive, so it's not terrible. But yeah, I'm hoping one day they move to Jersey. So I can put them in a nursing home right here by me, so I can see them all the time. What do people in your hometown make of you? You are the most famous person for Marlboro, I assume.

1:00:44Am I? Definitely. Well, we do have, so my best friend, one of my best friends married, Wade Davis. He's a famous professional baseball player. He lives in Marlboro now. Oh. So you maybe he's outshining. You might have a couple. Yeah, right. Yeah, but no, everybody that I graduated with, grew up with, like I still talk. All my best friends from high school are still my best friends to this day. Love that. So, yeah, I'm still very homey. And I'm not like, ugh, I'm too good for all these people. Right. Like, I still go home and I see everyone and I'm still Nicole to them. Which is nice. I literally forget that your name is Nicole.

1:01:19Everyone does, I know. Do you love that you got famous with a nickname? Some people, like, I think would hate it. Like, they want to be known by their real name. Yeah, I mean, it was getting annoying at some point. Because they were like, Snooki. And I'm like, you guys know my name's Nicole. Right. Like, I was getting annoyed that, like, no one knew my actual name. But now it's just like, that's the brand. Yeah. And that's me. And Snooki is my brand name and, like, my character sometimes. But, like, I like the fact that, like, Nicole is, like, the mommy me. So I have, like, different personalities, if you will.

1:01:48No, that's really cute. Yeah. Okay. Like, can I just tell you this has been a dream? Your podcast, it's happening. What day do you drop episodes? Every Friday. Every Friday with you and Joey. And then I do one with Gina called the Mean Ball Pod, which is new. I'm obsessed with your friendship with Gina. Yeah. So we just talk about mommy stuff and, you know. That's really cute.
