International stardom is still possible at age 103-years-old. Just ask Gramma, a.k.a. Arlene Cody Bashnett, and her 98-year-old sister Ginga, a.k.a. Genevieve Musci.
The West Virginia sisters gained their claim to fame with videos of their hilarious foul-mouthed banter on Facebook.
They became social media superstars and appeared on shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live. They also enjoyed local celebrity as parade marshals for the 38th West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival and the 2016 Clarksburg Christmas Parade, according to U.S. News and Work Report.
Most recently they appeared on “Little Big Shots: Forever Young” hosted by Steve Harvey. The video of their appearance has received more than 50 million views on Facebook.
“The show was fun,” Gramma told U.S. News and World Report. “Steve Harvey, he’s the one that makes the show. I watch it all the time. We just sat there and talked with him. It was great.”
These two sisters are an absolute riot.
Ginga started out her appearance on the show by basically hitting on Harvey and telling him how handsome he was.
“You better watch yourself, girl,” he says laughing and half blushing.
“She doesn’t have a chance,” snipes Gramma.
“Ain’t she the one who had four husbands,” Harvey asks.
“They were all alcoholics,” she responds.
Harvey then asks Gramma if she’s the one who is 103-years-old.
“Oh hell yes, what do you think,” she answers, making the audience breaks out in hysterics.
The ladies then proceed to explain what a horrible trip they had since they weren’t flown in first class.
“It was terrible, it was miserable,” Ginga told Harvey.
Harvey then promised he would fly them back home first class because “Ya’ll is my homegirls.” He then asked if they like being together all the time, and boy did they have a mouthful for him.
“No, we fight all the time,” said Ginga. “She always gives me hell. Know what I tell her? I say “Kiss my ass.'”
Gramma explains that she’s sick of listening to Ginga call her every day to talk about nothing.
“I don’t want to hear that (bleep noise),” said Gramma
“You don’t understand, this is the whole reason I want to get to this age,” Harvey said. “I wanna openly and freely cuss. Please God, let me do this with my best friend.”
Despite their back and forth, Ginga says that they do love each other and always make sure to check up on each other.
