    Needs care
    Need a little more effort.. 20 min podcast with ads?
  • Jennifer VB
    I want to love this…
    EDIT: The episode with Sammy and Deena, way better !! They are just talking back and forth about the show and it was flowing great. As much as I love Snooki and Deena when they are together Snooki seems so distracted by other things, I love hearing behind the scenes stuff. As I much as I love them both, I really want to love this podcast (I keep trying) it’s very repetitive and its almost like they are just on the phone chit chatting to each other. They always seem sidetracked by what they are doing in the background. The kids screaming and interrupting all the time are a bit much too. I would love to hear about jersey shore more and the episodes (past/present) and the behind the scenes and having the cast mates as guests would be even better. I hope they take some notes moving forward because I really want to keep listening.
  • Melgee2014
    Gross
    These women really sat here and said (while talking about whos performing on this years half time show) “who is Kendrick Lamar? I’ve never heard any of his songs”. Very next sentence out of their mouth. “Did you see the Grammys last night?” So clearly you watched and you could’ve seen he won 5 Grammys!!! Than went on to say Beyoncé is overrated and couldn’t believe she won a Grammy. Petty haters!!!! Unfollow! And I’ve listened from the first episode including Snooki’s other pod with Joey.
  • cantplaysongonstory
    Love you guys so much
    Your guy’s personality is great!! I love it i grew up watching you guys n seeing the mommys u guys became is soo cute . Such good moms who cares if u guys drink every one in a while its sad that people judge so much. (:
  • Monica3855
    Boring
    This podcast is boring
  • Barbara Vasquez
    Best podcast ever!
    I enjoy watching this podcast! I like how Snooki and Deena talk about prepping for the end and just talking about “conspiracy theories” and just trying to get people to understand. People need to wake up and be ready for what’s coming!!
  • lyrooo
    politics
    very hard to continue to listen to someone who keeps bringing politics in but doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about. read about on these policies and then do the same fear mongering you say with every conspiracy theory
  • Erocka17
    Not Impressed Today
    Only two episodes in Nov, followed by a “Best Of” show for their next episode? Disappointing to say the least.
  • Zen_yogi
    Too many commercials!!
    Commercial every 30 seconds. Don’t waste your time listening
  • BuddyScoutKeyes
    Political views
    Love you guys, but when it comes to politics, you should really keep things like (fema) out of it, cause some people may come to the conclusion l about your political views
  • JB-Spain
    Jwow!
    Absolutely loved the episode with JWOW. My favorite episode yet. No disrespect to Deena but I loved the substance of the discussion. Had great depth.
  • MissTinaV
    Love the meatballs
    Love you guys but please be mindful of things you say on the pod with such a large platform. The information Deena was saying regarding Hurricane relief is not accurate. I love TikTok as well lol but it’s not a reliable news source at all. Maybe stick with pop culture
  • 2AliciaBV2
    Jersey Shore!!!
    Can’t watch jersey shore because I’m not buying another streaming app … I have cable but I have to go to bed early so I miss the episodes and can’t watch them … so unless you buy another streaming app you are not being watched … before I could watch on the mtv app and because I have cable I could watch it on my phone the next day… but they need to bring back the mtv app
  • MC239001
    Love the podcast….buuuuut
    I love this podcast and have love both of you all since Jersey shore OG but this week rubbed me so wrong. I kinda wish you would keep politics out of the podcast. the whole money going to people with the hurricane, a lot of what you were saying was wrong. TikTok should not be a form of news for you. FEMA already gave out 10 billion just to Carolina, they only have $20 billion so if you want to use your platform, use it to bring awareness that we need more fema budget. With this being such a very important political time, maybe just watch what you are spilling out to the world.
  • Nikkig0628
    Love them meatballs
    I absolutely love this podcast. I listen every Thursday and to be honest you have inspired me to try podcasting thanks meatballs
  • bigtrishfan
    One of my fav podcast
    Love listening when I’m working or at home or working out love my girls
  • Marcy109875
    Deena carries the show
    It always seems like Snooki is half paying attention…
  • Woodfinder11
    These broads…
    When I need a break from the typical murder podcasts or the craziness of the world I always listen to these lil meatballs. Appreciate their stories and positive approach to life. ❤️
  • EpicPersonTheEpic
    Rewatch OG Jersey Shore
    As much as I love this pod and listening to the meatballs ramble and talk about whatever random things they want to, I need the meatballs to rewatch and breakdown every episode of the OG Jersey Shore. Regardless, I love this podcast
  • ghejfjr
    Rewatch podcast❗️❗️
    Meatballs!! Can you guys do a jersey shore rewatch podcast! I’ve been re-watching all the seasons & I think it would be hilarious for you guys to watch because I know you guys forgot a lot of things you’ve done or said & I always have questions about some things 😅
  • Lulux393
    Snoozer
    I wanted to love it but it’s a snoozer
  • Am JB
    Thank but this ain’t it
    Boring topics …. They don’t seem to really have anything to talk about . Loved the first episode but the topics are repetitive! I wished they talked about more BTS of JSFV and “ hot takes” from the show. Deena talking about motherhood, Chris and mental health nonstop within the same breath and repeating the same topics and sentences ain’t it. I’ll stick with it’s happening with Snooki and Joey! At least they have more content and it’s more entertaining.
  • JaydePaj
    Love!
    Absolutely obsessed with all things Jersey Shore (except Ang) love the podcast! I don’t care about any kids or noises in the background I love that their real! I’m always laughing while listening! Love hearing about their real life. Love the meatballs!
  • kvenuti
    Red lobster!
    A new owner is buying red lobster in hopes the chain can make a come back!
  • Aligatorbaba
    I still listen but
    It’s chaotic and a hard listen when the kids are fighting, Nicole is literally walking her dog, etc. I love the conspiracy theories and how silly they are.
  • Sambbbbbbb
    Noises
    I love the pod but there’s so much going on in the background especially with the ring doorbell going off through out the whole episode. Please turn it off!
  • Bl2375thl91
    YAAAASSS
    Idk what I’d do without this podcast! I’m not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but I can listen to these two talk about them all day without judgment. The gays LOVE you meatballs. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈
  • Kenzzgirl
    Ring camera!!!!
    Love the pod BUT whoever records inside their home and lets their ring camera alert go off over and over and over again all pod long needs to RELOCATE 😂 it’s so obnoxious I couldn’t even finish the last two episodes.
  • the_classic_sex
    Don’t ever leave us!
    I can’t tell you what a 32 year old single gay man from Texas has in common with 2 mama meatballs from Jersey. But I can listen to yall ramble about pop culture and conspiracy theories for hours. Lol please never leave us!
  • 90’s Girl
    Want to love it
    Love these girls and Jersey shore but if you really want to put out a good solid podcast then please get a sitter for 1 hour. All the distractions of kids talking and screaming in the background and deena constantly stopping to talk to her kids is beyond annoying. Tired of hearing we are moms and we have kids, a lot of us do as well but also make arrangements to be able to work. Much rather listen to Snooki and Joey……..
  • MG@@2121
    So inconsistent!!
    This is horrible. This is the only pod cast that can’t get it together! I listen to plenty of moms who are on shows and models who are very busy.. either you want to make it happen or you don’t!! It’s not because your moms don’t give that excuse … or filming you know what it takes to put out pod cast every week. You knew what you were getting into..
  • Messy mawma
    “ I can’t “
    I love the pod so I’m going to give 5 stars but if you took a shot for everytime you say “ I cantttt” we would be drunk. Love you ladies
  • NattieWxo
    Snooki and Deena are Mother💗
    Listen. These girls raised me, for real. I’ve been watching Jersey Shore since it debuted when I was 14 years old. I’m a die hard fan. Being able to listen to these hilarious, shameless, relatable, strong women wherever I go is the best gift. I feel like I know them! They bring so much joy to my day every time they upload. Thank you ladies for sharing your lives with us. Love you!!
  • vrfff21
    Too much going on
    I like the idea of the podcast but it gets repetitive. It would be nice to have different topics intentionally discussed (you can tell when you aren’t actually engaged in the convo). It is also really distracting to have kids constantly screaming & interrupting a 1 hour recording…
  • Inelly89
    Too Many Conspiracy Theories
    I enjoyed the pod before it became all about TikTok conspiracy theories and how strongly they believe the theories are true based on no evidence. I feel like I get warned about “end of times” every episode. I would love if they talked about behind the scenes of current episodes as they come out or anything JS really.
  • Joannam96
    “LIKE”
    Starting to get annoyed with Deanna constantly saying LIKE in every sentence. Besides that, I really enjoy listening to this podcast.
  • Msbplustwo
    Love the Meatballs
    Thank you for this, you two brighten my day! I hope you continue to bring us your conversation, giggles and inspiration! Luv u both 💕
  • No beans for u
    Hate pod casts
    OMG I really don’t like pod casts because I end up falling asleep but omg I can listen to these ladies for hours!!! You guys are the best! Keep them coming!
  • bimhotterthanapeppernomint
    Love it!
    My first podcast that I have listened too. I love it so much! Always a great story/ conversation.
  • lexiemich
    Fellow meatball here 😁
    This is the podcast that feels like you’re hanging with the girls ❤️
  • Lizalove11
    Meatballs are the best
    Hey girls I’ve been waiting for this podcast!!! Super excited you guys are the best. I am so glad how real you are and don’t care what people say. You guys are the best moms hands down and I love seeing your family on the shows and here on the podcast we need a pod cast with both hubbys that will be fun love u both
  • kimbersketch
    Lisp
    What is with snookies lisp? Sorry but can’t listen
  • Korndawg69
    Not for me anymore
    I am a Jersey Shore fanatic and was so excited when I heard this podcast was starting. I’ve listened weekly since the beginning and over time it’s basically turned into a QAnon talking point podcast. They constantly bring up conspiracies and even mentioned Candace Owens in the latest episodes. Has definitely turned me away as a view. Hearing behind the scenes jersey shore stories, life, mental health, and motherhood was great and I wish they go back to that.
  • Iris.03
    Love yay!!!
    I just want to say, love your show, love you both and keep up the great work! Love Iris
  • Caitie (Love) Bugg
    Caitie
    I love these girls. I have grown up with them and they have no idea how inspirational they are! I'm a meatball at heart forever!!
  • call me ur name
    The best
    10/10 loved hearing the inside stories meatballs! Some questions I’ve had about JS have been answered and I love that! Hearing about Italy was so eye opening, more episodes like this please! The BEST
  • MirAnnEri
    Great
    This pod is an easy, judgement free listen. It’s like talking with my girlfriends about our lives and being moms.
  • Jw16679
    Too many conspiracy theories
    Why does every episode talk about aliens and other ridiculous conspiracy theories. I wish they focused more on BTS of jersey shore episodes.
  • bittersweet56
    So relatable!
    Such an easy listen! I appreciate the mom talk and things just being so judgement free! It’s all very relatable! Love it!
  • jessiefaye1105
    Love
    Love getting to hear about their lives just being normal people. Only thing is I wish the ads weren’t as frequent but it’s fine lol
