Loved that
I love when Melissa and Joey are together. Her energy is such a match for his. I laughed out loud at the convo on whether Matt or Joey talks more/louder. Loved this episode!
Joey and Melissa are kindred spirits and are like siblings....love their chemistry! 😃
I LOVE her on Clarissa. Seeing them all together makes me feel like I’m sitting in a room with old friends.

I've said it before, the Lawrence Brothers should be running a TV/movie studio. It would be so successful!

I believe if all the people from these shows band together they could create a whole new way of creating entertainment.
My sister has 5 kids! They argue often. 4 girls and 1 boy. We practice lent to prepare for Easter. For lent the 5 agreed to give us devices and pray together. Guess what? They’re getting along and playing together more. I am their aunt and I see them often. It made me emotional when I watched them playing peacefully and really enjoying each other for a looooong time!
The bro’s AND Melissa…?! What a great way to start the weekend💪🏻🥰🔥

Rewatching Melissa & Joey on Hulu after watching this episode. I forgot how good this show is/was.
This episode made me smile so hard. I had the wild MJH crush as a kid. Clarissa was one of my favorite characters, I love how she used to break the 4th wall, and was so self aware.

🤣 Andy's sarcasm and honesty is unmatched OMG what a vibe. " Yeah I saw you this morning, so I don't know... I'm always confused why you act like we haven't spoken in awhile 😅 I talk to ya everydayyyyyyyy 😮💨🤣" to be fair lol fraud charges and dealing with that are the WORST
"the older you get, the closer you get" this is so true for my sister and me. We're 4 years apart and it wasn't until she went off to college that we became friends. Like she wanted me around. I wasn't the annoying little sister anymore.
This was probably my favorite episode yet. The chemistry and energy of all 4 of you was great and even better than when Joey was on Melissa’s podcast. It reminded me why our family and I loved “Melissa and Joey”.
My husband and I have been rewatching all your episodes! We still laugh every time! You guys are still a household name after all these years!

I could watch you guys all day. I’m so sad. This one hour KZread show is ending. Please bring back Melissa and Joey.
I would be SO HAPPY to see what a Melissa & Joey sitcom would look like now! I loved it when it aired on ABC FAMILY! I own of the seasons on DVD! These two have just such great on screen chemistry! They're my fav people in the world! ❤❤
“wait, MY MANAGER?!” OH GODDDDD 🤣 PRICELESS!!!!
My absolute favorite movie that Melissa came out in was Drive Me Crazy.

YES YES YES!!!! Melissa and Joey reboot!!!! with the twins, all grown up!!!!
Go Joe! Totally agree on what you mentioned about the Freeform, RIP - ABC Family!
He calls you "Mel"? That's so cute.
aww I wish she was in person 🥺 I loved melissa and joey as well as sabrina
I had a smile on my face through this whole video! I’m 40, love all you guys! Clarissa Explains itAll was one of my favs. My grandma used to watch it with me and she didn’t even speak English! And she would still crack up! 😂 i miss her 😢
I loved Melissa and Joey sooo much! One of my favorite shows! I'd love for it to come back or do a movie!❤
I rarely laugh nowadays at sitcoms and I've recently seen several episodes and laughing my butt off at such clever and witty writing - as well as such great acting. The timing, the chemistry, all of it. One thing I hated growing up watching tv in the 70s - 90s was the will they won't they and they either never did, or got together on the last few episodes. Melissa and Joey smoothly made the transition. The story lines and the writing was just as fun and funny. I wish it had gone on a few more years, to see them have a baby or two and learn that side of parenting.
I love how so many 90’s “kids” go by three names. 😂
I’ve probably binge watched Melissa and Joey 3 or 4 times! Thanks for the fun.
Guys you make me feel so much nostalgia!!! Brotherly Love, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Boy Meets World, The Bean Movie, Recess. Loved every single one. Man the 90s was such a great time to be a kid!!!
We love Melissa 💜

Hi you guys!!! It's Ed Driscoll here, thanks for the shoutout! Love you all so much...what a true honor and blast it was to work with you folks...good times!
Loved Melissa and Joey you should do a reboot. I remember Joey on "Gimme A Break" such a cute talented little boy. I was once told I looked like Melissa when I was younger. One of my favorite Melissa movies is "Christmas In Handcuffs.
I love this woman! Not only is she a great actress and mother, but a wonderful human in this world. She helped save those kids during the shooting at the school. Anyone who can put themselves in harms way to help others, especially children, is a hero to me! I loved her before that, however, it made me love her more. Her values, her kindness, and her being so humble, makes her such a great role model that we desperately need in this world. Melissa, I love ya!!! ❤️☺️
😂😂😂😂 Joey’s analysis of ABC Family turned Freeform is so spot on
Melissa gave it away. Matt and Chili 🌶️ are definitely together This is awesome! Love this podcast! ❤
If Melissa and Joey ever get renewed, it will be hilarious if all of you are in it again!
Can't believe how fast this episode went. Now I'm going to have to re-watch Melissa & Joey. 🙂And yes, you should bring it back. It would be fun to watch Mel Burke and Joe Longo raise their twins.
I have always loved Joey, Matt and Melissa they are all hilarious, but the one out of the 4 that has the best composure...is ANDY! I have to give him some major kudos for keeping his $#*x together while everyone else constantly talks over him❤ I'm only a couple years older than Joey and basically everything I have grown up watching had Joe in it- I'm a lifelong fan of his and Matt's, but Andy, you are so well grounded and have such a great presence, you help keep the balance. I wish Matt and Joey would let you talk more and not talk over you so much, I hope this helps them realize that we (the audience) love all 3 of you equally, and we REALLY want to hear you (Andy) talk more, your humor is on fleek!
Melissa and Joey was the BEST show!! Please, please come back! The world needs a great show!
I love Melissa & Joey please bring it back
Everything that Melissa touches is gold. I loved Clarissa Explains it All. I would love to see Melissa and Joey come back.
This episode made me smile so much. Can’t wait to watch! Would definitely love to see Melissa & Joey working together again love their friendship/energy together. I’ve been rewatching Melissa & Joey again over the last few months, it’s just such a feel good show. Will definitely be watching this episode a few more times this week ☺️

Grew up with both of these wonderful actors.in 48.loved seeing them as we were growing g up.what a fun time!!! Yes,I'm familiar with both brothers as well.I would love to see a Sabrina reboot,with Mellissa,and Nate.As well as Brotherly Love reboot. With you three again.loved them,and all else I've seen you two in.so proud of of all of you! Keep going.❤
OMG! I cracked up at the Aquafor thing with Joey! I used that with my kids when they were growing up as a cure for so many things. I love that stuff. Love your show. Y’all just keep me laughing. I lost my mom unexpectedly a year ago this June and so it hit home when you were talking about the love between siblings. I have only one sister and we had times growing up where we could get on each other’s nerves but the older we get the closer we are. We are best friends. It’s a bond no one can break nor replace. She is my go to for everything so I totally get the bond you guys have with each other. You will definitely need each other so much more than you realize when your parents are gone.
😊 Such a nice episode of the Brotherly Love Podcast. It was great seeing you all together, even though Melissa wasn't able to sit down in the same room with you guys. It would be great to have her back on again sometime soon, and maybe she can bring a guest. #loveDaPodDaPod
Make Joey and Melissa a HULU special. I need more
I LOVED Melissa & Joey. I never missed it!! If you bring it back I will watch again!!❤
Melissa's husband is awesome. I didn't know who he was and now I love her more lol! Caught in the sun is an amazing song. I'm sure there are more but I heard it on Smallville, which also was a pivotal show in the building of the superhero genre...
My mom's mom had a 30 year old washer and dryer worked perfectly until a few months ago finally crapped out
Joey just toss both hands up next time. No one on one high fives 😂 loved the episode, gents well done again 😁 the fact that Sabrina is there 👌 I'll see you guys on the next one
Every time I watch these, it's like I'm catching up with old high school friends...a mini reunion with all the nostalgic feels. LOVE IT!!!
Best episode of the podcast yet! I'd listen to a podcast with Melissa and Joey, if any chance for a rewatch podcast in the future, or really any kind of podcast or show with them.
Oh my lord!! Mel this is why I resonate with you so much! Im also in my 40s with 3 boys, and love to watch the brothers because I can see my boys like that when they become adults... but I am so glad you mention how the middle child catches up when sees the oldest, its happening to me too... I am also the oldest, of 5, the middle child is my brother, and I have boys, and my brother has girls lol
I would love more seasons of Melissa and Joey! This podcast was so fun!
As an adopted (suburban) Philadelphian… I’m so happy to see podcasts like yours. Keep up the good work!
This is one of the best podcast yet!!! I loved the Melissa & Joey show! It was definitely one of the best sitcoms out there!! I wish you guys would bring it back! I'd love for all of you guys to do more stuff together. Whether it be a show or movies, how about both!!
This was SO good today! I’ve always loved her. She’s always seemed so down to earth and kind like you could be best friends with her. Just like you guys. 😊Thanks for a great episode today! We need more Mel and Joe!!💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛
Bringing back the childhood memories!!! Absolutely love when Melissa and Joey work together because you guys mesh so well. Even my 10 and 14 year old have binged Melissa and Joey with me a few times. Many blessings to all of you!!!
MJH is an ICOOOOON! so happy to see her come to the pod 😍

Love you guys!! 💕💕You were part of my Mexican childhood and teen years. I want to listen more often to Andy. He's got marvelous ideas but always get interrupted by Joe or Matt, who decide to continue talking about what Andy was about to say.
Melissa Joan Hart on your podcast is a dream come true! My childhood self is happy! ❤
Huge Melissa and Joey fan and maybe its because I am in Joe and Mels age demo, but this was awesome. In a world of woke,pc insanity, this was a breath of fresh air to watch. Maybe my new favorite podcast of all time. Down to earth and real. Real family, parents and normal people with normal problems and the same concerns as all of us. You all are awesome.
This episode makes me so happy! 🤗
It's great Joey, that you & Melissa are such good friends!!
Melissa looks so beautiful. She looks so good for her age.❤ I remember watching her on tv growing up
I remember Clarissa explains it all her room was awesome. I Loved that doll house shelf so much my Dad made me one. ❤
I love you guys. These 4 people filled so many hours of my childhood with fun..i miss the 90s and 2000s so much..clarrissa,Sabrina, brotherly love ,horse sense ,jumping ship replay in my head often.
I loved Melissa and Joey! I also loved my fake Fiancé...I loved your chemistry and the wholesome vibe with comedy.
😂😂😂 Demolition Man is one of my fave movies too!!!! I agree with you guys about the future on this!!!
Andy reminds me of a younger Branden Frasier. Ive watched Joey since he was on TV with Nell Carter 😁 Gen Xer here lol Subscribed to ur podcast! Much love!!!😍
Awww warms my heart to see how close they are and calling each other often
That episode was a lot of fun to watch. The camaraderie exhibited between all 4 of you was just fabulous. Thanks for a great show!
I think I was smiling the whole time I was watching this. Great episode! The 4 of you had such a great dynamic together.
My favorite episode so far! The ease of conversation and banter was seamless. Melissa was the perfect balance to keep everyone involved.
This made my heart so happy! I would love to see you all collaborate together again💗
Joey is forever a heartthrob 💕💪🏆
I love this show. I’ve binge watched it many times. I’d love to see it come back and continue. ♥️
Very much looking forward to the four of you working together again soon. 🤞🏻 “Melissa & Joey” is one of my all-time favorite (comfort) shows. 💜
This is the podcast I needed! I’m constantly smiling just listening to them all speak!!
I LOVE this podcast so much! This was such a great episode and i loved Melissa and Joey. You both look the same as you did from the show! Love your chemistry together.
Love Love Love this podcast because it feels like I’m sitting in on conversation as an extended friend or family. The topics are just natural, funny convo. Love you guys + Melissa looks amazing!
I have watched Melissa & Joey several times.... And just NOW found out Andy was in this show. I must rewatch again!!
I can not get enough of your banter and absolutely loved this episode with MJH. You three always put me in a good mood 😊❤
Waking up to you three was the greatest thing. Glad to have you all back, plus my fav was sabrina

I've been looking forward to this episode so much!!!😊
I really enjoy watching you guys cut up and reminisce. I hope to see more of this. Prior service marine and combat vet just to paint a background briefly. It is nice to see people that I grew up with talk truthfully and humbly about their experiences in the business. I'd like to think we all vet the people our children watch on television in this day and age. I feel comfortable knowing my kids can watch your movies from the past and know that you have a wholesome message and didn't compromise your values. Thank you.
