Mob Wives Sneak Peek: You’re Hurting My Eardrums


Renee and Junior had a pretty big blowout in therapy last week, and their fight’s not over yet. In this sneak peek from Sunday night’s upcoming episode, the two try to work on their issues but Junior’s not in the mood to listen to Renee, and after listening to her yell for a moment, he walks away, telling her “You’re hurting my eardrums.”

Later in the same episode, Big Ang and her son AJ talk about their big plans for the future, including a possible move to Florida. “That’s what I’ll do, I’ll retire in Boca,” Ang tells him. On the one hand, don’t leave us, Big Ang! On the other hand, could anything be more perfect?

VH1 Visits The Drunken Monkey: A Night With Big Ang, Stiff Drinks, And Hazy Memories Of Staten Island

Last night was one of those times where I had to pinch myself and remember that sometimes this job is kind of insane (in the best way possible). See, VH1 rented a couple of buses and shuttled a bunch of staffers off to Staten Island so we could experience firsthand the wondrous, wonderful Drunken Monkey bar and meet the wondrous and wonderful Big Ang in the flesh. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday evening!

We drank. A lot. We took pictures. (In fact, we probably annoyed the staff by constantly having our phones and cameras out to catch Big Ang on the dance floor, behind the bar, and of course, posing with us all.) We ate. It was amazing. A few things about Big Ang: She’s really quiet and shy in person. Surprising, right? We don’t blame her though, we’d be overwhelmed if fifty intensely excited people all of a sudden bombarded us at work. But get her on the dance floor and she becomes the star that she is. Also, she knows the words to every popular song ever. Rihanna‘s on? She right there singing every line to “We Found Love.” LMFAO? She’s party rocking with the rest of us. So whats the Drunken Monkey like? We’ve got pictures. Check them out, and then book a bus, train, or flight to New York because you need to go there like, now.
