Summary
#946. Nicole Polizzi (Snooki) is here with her real-life best friend Joey Camasta—and we get into how they actually met, why their friendship works, and why Nicole still gets jealous when he hangs out with other people.
We also talk through Nicole’s two decades on Jersey Shore—from what she tells her kids now (yes, “mommy’s an actress”) to why she can’t watch reality TV the same way anymore.
She also shares what it feels like heading into the final season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation as that chapter starts to close… and what could be next.
Nicole also opens up about her recent health journey, why she chose to share it publicly, and the message she hopes other women take from it.
And Joey gets into his hair transplant and gives Kaitlyn a reality check on what it’s really like living in the ‘big apple.’
