1:45It's about parties. I got worried. I have to say I got worried halfway through because we spent 15 minutes at Contessa's party where nothing was happening. And I was like, oh, no, marriage of medicine is falling in, falling into some bad patterns. But then it sort of like pulled out the plane, like lifted its nose and went back up into the sky. And we had a really good episode. But for a moment there, I was like, OK, we're spending five minutes watching people arrive at the party and they all get funny little names. and now we're spending another five minutes watching everyone comment on everyone's outfits at the party and then talking about what it was like in the 70s i was like why are we still at this party nothing is happening but but the episode was actually a really good one despite all that never trust a party thrown in like a marriott meeting room like a conference oh that was weird i was like oh my god this huge budget party welcome to the you know best western in conference room with office lighting she spent so much money on this elaborate balloon wall which looked great but then the whole thing was like blatantly some business hotel conference room like there's the carpeting you could see those walls there was like it just nothing looked good it didn't look like it wasn't like immersive like why are you not at a club or something like that It was such a strange choice for a party.

3:10Yeah. So we start off with Heavenly. And Heavenly is reminding us that no matter what you might have heard lately, her son doesn't talk to her, etc. She is a good parent. And she's talking in her baby voice. And she's talking to her son. And she's like, am I going to get some grandkids, baby? Am I going to get some grandkids? And he's like, well, to be honest with you, mama, I don't want to get this the wrong way. But I don't want like a lot of girls. She's like, no, get one good one for you, like your mama. Just get a good one, like your mama. No, it takes a one good girl. One good girl is all you need.

3:45That's all you need. He's like, no, but what I'm trying to say is, I don't really like a lot of girls. I don't want to hear any more of what you're trying to say. Just get one girl and give me a grandson. Thank you very much. You're not going to come out while I am running for office on a most likely very conservative platform. Do you understand me? and then we have Simone asking a patient if she's taken her iron tablets and then we have Brandy doing some stuff with lips and everything and her cosmetic urology practice you know she's like wrong lips wrong lips I came to the urology department still don't understand the connection to urology but I will accept it she's leaving with um lala mouth on her vagina she's like wait a minute what did you people do to me so then we go to contessa who's dressed you know in 70s garb and she's meeting up with toya which is so funny because these two used to hate each other and contessa's like do you like it do you like my look you know we're like uh we're 70s babies baby we're 70s and toy is like yeah we are but we're not gonna tell anybody okay and toya by the way gives contessa the stink eye through this entire scene and i'm like contessa you realize that toy is not really on your side for this right she's gonna come toria literally hates your gut still and so good luck with this toria is only being friends with you so you can yell at heavenly for her and if you're not going to do that she's got very little patience for you i can tell you right now also it's funny that contesta is showing up in her 70s garb for this but she won't show up to 70s garb for her party which is 70s themed so i don't know i don't know if she just got one amazon outfit that she it's like it was used up or what but damn also so like i think also i think we're all entitled to throw ourselves a really nice party, especially for like a milestone birthday.

5:33It's just really hard to start this episode with her planning this massive party for herself on the heels of last week when she was like, I emptied out all of our savings. I cashed out all of our stock options, our 401k just to get this building up. It's like, so I'm like, what do you want me to feel for you right now? What are the emotions you need me to feel? Because last week you wanted me to feel sympathy for you for not having any money left. And then this week You want me to be like, yes, spend that$40 ,000 on your birthday party. Yeah, it's a lot of money to spend, you know. But, hey, I mean, it's housewives also.

6:04So maybe it didn't really cost that much. And she's just saying that. Because, I mean, Marriott. Yeah, Marriott. So I don't know. So she's like, well, I want to do a purple carpet or a red carpet. And Tori is like, back in the day, they did do a carpet. They did a sole trade line. And she's like, well, but, you know, at the player's ball, they had a carpet baby. Okay. Look at the space. It's so beautiful. God, just imagine someone talking about advertising revenue over there. Someone showing a pie chart over there, a free coffee bar, possibly some croissants, maybe powdered eggs in the morning that are free if you're staying here.

6:43Well, you know, the player's ball refers to an annual flashy gathering of pimps, according to Google AI, as many people probably already know this, originating in Chicago in 1974. And what few people realize is that this gathering of pimps often happened in a Marriott conference room.

7:04I know about the player's ball because I have seen the musical The Life. They all went to the player's ball and I loved it. It was Lilius White at her best. Well, Lilius White. For the oldest profession. She was a tired, tired hoe in that one. And that was the best song. He's great. So, um, Contessa is saying that, that, you know, it's just like, okay. So she's saying hi to the, um, the, the, uh, party planner. And she's like, I'm a seventies baby. So I really want to do a seventies party. So I chose the theme players ball. Cause I want it to be a lot of activities. I want people to come in and their seventies, best their furs and their suits and their amazing clothes.

7:46And let's just have a good time. That's really what it's all about. And if they want to throw a PowerPoint up on the screen, I'm not going to stop them. so she says this is going to be like the movie casino because that was in the 70s didn't end well for those of you haven't seen it and um you know so she just wants to have fun as i said in my invitation roll that beautiful bean footage and so um we see it and it's she has an invitation that's like hey baby you're gonna come to the player's ball and then they open a box and it shoots that paper money at you all over your floor yeah i did not see him bend down to sweep up your floor on the way out so i would not be happy with this invitation it's like once someone sends you a gift but it's in like a whole thing of confetti and then there's confetti all over your kitchen and then you finally get down to it and it's like a snickers bar like really now i have to clean my kitchen you cheap fuck yeah it's like those those boxes that open up that the fake butterflies that come flying out it's like oh that's fun you startled me and now i've got to clean up your invitation somehow littered yeah so murder as well yanks so contessa's like thanks for the butterfly genocide in my kitchen so contessa's like this is gonna be my first birthday party ever and toy is like oh you throw it for yourself yes i waited almost 50 years to throw myself a party or if someone throw me a party and just never happened well i don't know if i should be sad or happy for you i'm gonna choose sad that's more fun for me i'm gonna talk about all the part the rest of the episode i'm gonna hit that eugene has thrown me really big parties has he have we seen eugene throw yeah really big parties have we i mean i guess we i mean i feel like we have i feel like there was some like greek gods and goddess party that they had in one of their recent houses or and he did it okay i think so i think so i think i think i think Eugene is pretty good with this sort of stuff.

9:48So Contessa's like, what I'm thinking is we have a super long runway in the dance floor over there. And then we could also, where are we going to set up the coffee machines if anyone wants to have a little bit of a coffee break? Is it by the water coolers? What are we going to do here? So they're going to have like, you know, this is party planning. Balloon wall, four decades of life, presentation carpets, buffet. Yeah. So she gives them 40 grand. And Tori's like, what? That's too budget? She goes, that's too little. do you think she's like that's too high and she's like yeah a contestant needs to finish off that office how about that do that she's like we're supposed to have an office in your office so put your money towards that and i agree like this is a lot of money for such an uninspired space that like and also she like spent all her money clearly on that balloon wall because she was not able to mask the conference room of it all by putting up curtains or even some mylar or anything i mean a junior prom can make it can make a space look better than this one yeah so she's like it's my party i don't have to answer to you and toy's like well i think this is great but i don't want to have drama at your party so i think it should be positive energy okay which is why you're doing it in the conference room with phones that are still on cords i guess it's like yes it's so 70s it's so players ball so casino so um yeah so she's saying contest is saying that they um you know people wearing 70s outfits are going to make uh make the party have lots of positive energy and toy's like that's not true she was like no well you have very low expectations of others because um what friends are you talking about okay because you're not inviting our group okay because they're not going to bring positive energy it's like i'm inviting everybody but toy does not like that heavenly's invited and she's like last time i saw heavenly she was crazy okay and i hope her energy is good because that energy was thanked the other day yeah but you were also starting with her like i love the joy it's always like i don't understand why heavenly was so mad at me like she comes in full guns a blazing the first time she sees her anyway nobody wants a peaceful heavenly okay no one does yeah yeah so cadessa's like well i would like to think that our group can put all their differences aside to celebrate me for the one time in my life i've asked them to do that no resting bitch faces like you're on bravo no one understands the concept of putting aside their issues to celebrate someone on the cast especially not you contessa and contessa is also one of those people who's like the one time i throw myself a party i've never done this before like oh gosh so she has that extra thing of like just poor me i've never had a party before me contessa never had a party you've never had a party why don't i believe contessa's story i know it's not even that big of a deal i don't doubt that her husband has never thrown her a party but i just feel like is that true that you've never had a birthday party i do not believe you sounds sounds curious i also always after all these years i always get the sense that no one on the cast actually enjoys contessa i feel like they tolerate her and they respect her as a professional but like given like if there were no show none of them would ever deal with her or talk with her i feel like they just are like oh it's contessa i don't think so and i think that they're so bored with her this year that because contesta came back this year with a very positive energy was she on she was on last year she was on last year yeah so i mean i watched the whole thing but like and that was an honest question i really don't remember her there but anyway she comes back and so they gave her her grace year of coming back where they didn't really come for her too much and she was very positive about her whole relationship because she spent so much time on this show being negative about her relationship so this time she's like i love scott everything's great with scott not bitching about scott i do not want this to be about me and scott and they're not going to let her have that they're like okay you're boring us you've given us nothing we're going to make you fight about your relationship status from four years ago okay yep yep i just had a flashback to when they went to the caribbean once and like was it that was it contest or was it toya where like toya saw a dead crab on the sidewalk and like lost her mind remember that Oh, good times That's bad So, yeah Contessa's like hoping people can put aside their drama To celebrate her And so I was like, yeah I hope they can do that too And Contessa's like, don't come in critiquing everything She's like, yeah, just come in here to have a good time It's gonna be so fun You just gave me a moment where I just thought back to like Wasn't everybody high back then In the 70s?

14:16Was everyone high? Can we get high before we come in here? I think that's the only way we can enjoy being in this conference room Yeah. So now we go over to Quad's house and Quad is still very happy in her relationship. And I just see things that she's happy about right now in about five years that are not going to be fun anymore. Like this scene where she's like, so, baby, are you getting something to eat? And he's like, mm hmm. We see him sitting down with food and she's like, hmm, as long as you don't eat my food. He's like, I don't eat your food. She goes, oh, but you do. What do you have to say about that?

14:50And he's like, nothing. She goes, really? Why? Because you eat my food. And he's sitting there with a whole plate of like fish and rice. And she's like, you are eating my leftovers. And she says, this is the thing with leftovers. Don't assume that there's one refrigerator and this is my girl and everything is ours. I'm eating leftovers. That's what I'm going to eat. What am I going to eat now? And he's just sitting there with his leftovers. Like, fuck with me then. Tell me I can't eat this. Tell me. Yeah. He's like, guess what? I have a healthy appetite. You want it 15 times a day? Feed me. Feed me, Quadmore.

15:21And Quad's like, well, he just shut my mouth up. I had that same thought, which is like, she's laughing off everything. And in a moment, they have a talk about like a bad breath situation. And in five years, it'll be like, he eats all the leftovers and leaves nothing behind. What am I, chopped liver? I know I'm not even chopped liver because he'd eat that too. He comes in smelling like a garbage disposal and expects me to love him. Can't wait. I can't wait till it burns because right now she's like, oh, my God, I love this. Maybe we'll get married. Maybe we'll have a baby. And then we start talking about the baby.

15:56And she's taking hormone shots every day because that's no easy feat getting prepped for this. It's crazy. And she has to give her shots, I think, a couple times a day. And he's like, well, you're going to take a shot. Well, I think you need to just take your shot because your hormones are already like crazy. And she goes, oh, does the shot make me have mood swings and rage? And he's like, yes. He goes, not rage. I find myself crying a lot. That's not me being enraged. It's me wondering, where did my fish and rice dish from yesterday go? King and I are trying to get pregnant. And we have a friend who basically got pregnant at 46 with triplets.

16:35And I said, wait a minute. Where's the doctor? And she was like, oh, the doctor's in Ghana. And when I heard that, I just felt like that's where I need to be. So basically she's doing all this in vitro in Ghana, but she's having Jackie sort of do her labs and stuff stateside, which that sounds very intense to me. But you know what? Live your life. Yeah. I mean, I think they do it the same anywhere, right? Is there like some special trick they use in Ghana? I don't know. What do they do differently in Ghana? I assume it's a spiritual connection. I don't know. I heard someone in Ghana had triplets.

17:14Take me to Ghana. Well, I mean, a lot happened in other places. I don't know. I'd stay home personally. I was just like that. Maybe she's just like really aiming to hit status on an airline. I'm like, that just seems like, unless I'm massively uninformed, which I may give a 75 % chance that I am. I just feel like that's a really far way to go. But I understand spiritual connection. I've just always wanted a literary child and I'm going to have a goner girl.

17:47that's so stupid he's like i spent my whole life trying to dodge this bullet it's not a bullet it's a blessing it's a blessing in the shape of a bullet no it's a it's just a straight up blessing that has no perceivable shape you ever played super mario brothers of course i've played super mario brothers ever see the bullet bills and they are blessings coming from mario what is your issue

18:17next you're gonna try to eat the plant eating plant that was my plant eating plant so he's like okay just get your shot going so i can get ready for the next 24 hours of hell it's time for a commercial it's time for a crap and commercial

18:38she's not gonna love this smart ass and i'm telling you yeah i in five years she's gonna to be going crazy with this attitude she's not gonna like it's also kind of regressive too it's like well ladies pmsing watch out ladies and their hormones can't control them i love when i love when guys do this whole narrative as if like guys are the most level-headed people on earth i'm like hello uh does anyone want to look at any of the wars that are around the world as you eat my driven by men you're like why are why are women so angry as he eats the fucking leftovers in her house um yeah yeah but this is married to medicine and that's how they roll on this show they're like well you know how women are you get a bunch of women in a room together you better duck and cover buddy yeah so quad is um saying by the way right no i get it everyone hide in my basement bar so quad uh is talking about the the process and that's like exhausting uh but despite all the side effects it'll be worth it to be a mom which is interesting because when the show began like she did not want to be a mom but she was also connected to dr gregory and i don't know if i would want to well you want a little dr gregory running around or a doctor or a little uh whatever this guy's name is yeah this guy definitely i want this guy he's gonna come out with like a full you know six pack this baby i know it'd be like like have like a smoky voice like hey mama like milk you're like whoa yeah baby dr dr greg's baby would be like i'm a baby man i'm a baby man

20:20so king is like well if we get the results that we were seeking it's definitely will be worth it if not i could have bought another car okay great so um then quad is doing the needle thing and she's like, I'm not scared of needles. I just don't like other people doing it. Now let me smell your breath. It smells like fish. Go brush your teeth for real. And he's like, well, you got a problem. You're projecting it on me. You better stop. Is he saying that she has the bad breath? Yeah, you've got a problem and you're breathing it all over me. Brush your teeth, King. You just had all that fish. Brush the fish away.

21:00I wonder if Quad takes it as a sign when she's driving along, happy in her relationship, trying to have babies with this guy, and she passes signs everywhere that says no king.

21:13Is it like Britney seeing that sign where it's just like, don't do it, Britney? She's like, how dare you? How dare you? But then it ended up being correct in the end. I think that quad is stigmatized. That's what I'm assuming. I'm stigmatized, and I haven't even seen his dick, but I really like him. I'm just prepared for her to hate him. Yeah, because I know I actually have no problem with the king whatsoever. He seems all right. He's like, and I like that he went after Dr. Gregory. I love that he basically stood up for quad with Dr. Gregory because Dr. Gregory is such a little twerp. So now we go to Brandy meeting up with Contessa.

21:48It's right before the party and Brandy has like her party makeup on, but she's still like in her regular clothes. And Brandy is like, hey, happy birthday. Because they're both like arriving at the hotel. And she's like, she's like, oh, my God, like, how's it going? and Contessa's saying because Contessa's already in her outfit she's like I said let me get myself into like into my party mode and then the universe will feel it like yes yes I love it oh my god you're fabulous it's like very much like we are friends and I'm here to support you for your party and I'm highlighting this because it doesn't seem to go the other way around later on in the episode yeah and Contessa's like isn't this amazing look at there's a record and it has my name on it what what i'm 50 years old i've never had a record with my name on it before oh it's so great to have my my name on a current piece of media so uh condessa says you know it would be so great if scott was like what can i do to help it just doesn't connect for him in that way he's a smart guy he's just he's book smart he doesn't have any common sense or seem to love me I'm just saying.

22:56So Contessa says, can I give you one piece of advice, Brandy? How long have you been married? She's like, 10 years. Okay, don't ever say I got this. Because, like, no, you don't have to. That's too much. Because once you do that, you're kind of like, oh, okay. Brandy's like, not sure exactly I know what you're talking about. Yeah, she's saying, don't ever say I got this because you're creating a monster who will never do anything for you. and so she's like okay well step up your underwear because they say panties for girls so step it up in your underwear um if you talk to scott basically she's saying so brandy's like oh yeah i'll talk to scott for you i'll talk to scott so contessa's kind of setting it up with the girls and us in the beginning of this episode like yeah i threw my own party but i mean scott's not gonna do it i mean sure i would have loved for him to do it he's just not really that kind of a guy how wouldn't this be nice if my husband helped me let me tell you something don't ever tell your husband he doesn't have to do anything for you because he won't and then later when they're like why doesn't your husband do anything for you she's like how dare you how dare you i know so contessa does kind of set herself up for this all the time yeah i got a little distracted because i heard a very loud bird and i was wondering that bird on the other side of my window or it's on the other side of ronnie's window and i literally got lost in that thought about where is the bird and then i started to realize well that's a typical contestacy and you start thinking about birds instead yeah well you know you would have known it would have been in my house because i would have been like it's a bird oh my god i'm gonna take a picture let me try and stream the bird right now everybody birds never do anything for katessa so now mimi and angel are getting ready and mimi is like are you excited about the party and Angel's like I am but I don't know what to expect and Mimi's like well just expect the unexpected huh because of big brother right and Angel's like well did you grow up in the 70s she's like what no how dare you shame me like that I am from the early 2000s I was born so uh then Jackie and Heavenly are getting ready and Heavenly's like okay so you got your bell bottoms on everyone do you have your bell bottoms on I'm just like my high pitch voice because I'm just going to be a fun, sweet lady running for office right now.

25:09Put on your bell bottoms. I have got my bell bottoms on, honey. Boom, boom, boom. Well, let me see the shoes. Can I see the shoes? It looks like we're back in the 70s, right? No, no, no, not jibby-choo. Why are you doing jibby-choo? No, it doesn't look like that. I really like the way people dressed in the 70s. I think they should bring that back. the platform shoes the makeup the afrocenticity of it all and so jackie's like well i was young in the 70s but i do recall it was free love honey we were very free sexually back in the day but so was herpes and chlamydia and hepatitis so we paid for that freedom jackie can we keep anything nice can we just have a nice party i know jackie's like um let me just make sure all my patients feel shame when they come in if they've contracted any of these diseases.

26:07She's like, you know what I love? Stigma. Heavenly's like, I got a waist trainer just in case, baby. What are you going to do? And Jackie's like, that's cute. Why are you speaking in such a high pitch voice? I don't even understand what you're saying right now. Heavenly for Congress. So then we go to the party and I knew you were going to have a problem with this episode when this shit started. when they started doing the and I actually was I held space for it because it's like they show up and like there's Steve he's Silky Steve Supreme and Mimi Lady Silk Supreme I'm like okay they're gonna do the names I was like you know what just be chill with it Ben rather than like just enjoy it let it lap over you like a wave the waves lap something just let it cascade over you and so I was like okay this is fine but I'm like wow this is a big cast and they all have husbands so this went on for a long time i'm like okay so when we finally get through it i was like okay we got through it we got through it 2025 ben is not going to get himself annoyed about things that don't have to be annoyed just enjoy it enjoy the type face enjoy the consideration that the post department put into the fonts and the colors and everything but then comes the remember the 70s segment i was like oh my god now we gotta listen everyone talk about the 70s oh my god yeah so they do that and um everybody comes and they get their names and um quad is quadraphonic and um toria is talking to simone and of course damon arrives not dressed up he makes zero effort i mean if we're going to talk about a husband who makes zero effort it's that one i mean my god man come on couldn't even get a wig i literally when i was watching it i just rolled my eyes like daddy and then i thought wow i just said daddy to their tv so then um he's like at least he didn't wear scrubs i'm surprised he didn't and be like i'm a doctor the doctor from the 70s unfortunately the invitation says we don't want no scrubs so toya is like well i spoke to katessa do you know how much she spent 40 grand 40 grand Which is funny, Toya, of all people, who just will burn money in an uni oven just because she can, is now shaming someone.

28:30Toya is on her 12th house in 12 years. It's like, can you believe it? And Simone's like, that is a lot. If this is the first time she's throwing a party. She's like, well, everybody's saying that because just because it's your first party, you've got to spend$40 ,000. I'm not spending$40 ,000. With my sons about to graduate in two, three years, no. We need two green eggs Two every appliance We need two of So Simone basically says that she spent $5 ,000 On the graduation party for Miles and Michael And she says the most Simone Has spent on a party is $5 ,000 Miles and Michael's graduation And we don't need any damn balloons We don't need a step and repeat We don't need a photographer we don't need any of that I like that this shows kind of anti-Housewives in a way it's like they're bragging about how much money they didn't spend on a party I know well it's like you have the professionals who are like we are not doing that although Contessa is a professional it's just sort of like you have Toya who is like of the Housewives world and then you have Simone who is like of the pragmatic world Simone and Jackie and like they come together like what are you thinking king although in this case they are aligned it's like toy well toya is not normally going to be the one to shame someone for spending forty thousand dollars but she will shame contessa because she probably has heard it ten times more than we have about how much contessa has no money and how the building that they bought is taking forever to do yeah it seems like a pretty petty thing because they seem to be building it throughout the episode but then i realize oh they're just teaming up to get contested because they're sick of contested coasting i think they feel like Contessa's coasting.

30:17So they're like, okay, Heavenly's not here. Let's fight with Contessa. Yeah. So Brandy's like, oh my God. You know, I told her, I said, girl, you could have had a little wedding. And Toya's like, yeah, I mean, my wedding was$75 ,000. And Mimi's like, in what year? Shut your mouth. Shut your God's mouth. All right, everybody, all the pimps and players in here, I want to make a lot of noise and give a round of applause to Coffee Service. We've only got two caraps of decaf but they will be coming around to also contests is behind the coffee contessa hello contessa did you take any more soaps out of the soap dispenser thingy stop doing that when you pass the towels okay the housekeeping wanted me to ask you it's contessa the mc is like all right everybody oh your turn your turn oh no you oh okay i'll go like sorry the MC's used to doing conference calls.

31:10This is new territory for him. The MC's like, Contessa is here. Can I please have your Marriott Rewards number? That would be great. Do not enter it on sign-up. Just want to remind everyone to put your hands in the air because there are snicker bars in the lobby you can charge to your room. You will be charged for every towel missing from your hotel room just to let you guys know energy for contessa there is a business center where you can print documents for a nominal fee yes starbucks is for some reason three dollars more expensive per drink than it is everywhere else enjoy contessa everybody and just remember that after the party is the after party which happens at the gym which is 24 hours the peloton is broken though must have a room key

32:13so contessa comes and she's like this is the party of my dreams really who dreams of that who dreams of a conference party i can't i can't with this you know what it's like with this party like it just is it was just the car i could just see too much of the carpeting too much. I was, I was hoping that when they, when people arrived and there was the balloon wall, I was like, okay, this definitely looks like, you know, a conference room exterior, but when they get in there, it's going to be, they'll be transported to a different world. But when they went in there, I was like, this is, this is where you have a seminar.

32:52It was definitely like a seminar, seminar room. Like someone should have been up there talking about growth strategies yeah something or yeah something synergies i couldn't scott is like well the price of the party was extensive um i mean we could have cut the cake price in half probably the food budget in half too and she's like um yeah and then if we listen to you we'd be doing it in the living room so maybe the best thing for you to do was to stay out of it which you did and this turned out exactly how i wanted it and he's like okay yeah all right we should also mention that scott is wearing like this wig that's like a little bob this little like it's almost like an like um what's it called a clockwork orange bob under his hat which was uh i know what look he was going for but it was just the wig was not really i felt like really not gonna have the park yeah a lot of the wigs were were rough on this one yeah so um scott goes to talk to cecil and you know all the guys are basically talking and scott's like well i tried uh troy goes oh you did really good on this party scott and he goes yeah you know i tried to help out as much as i could and she goes oh really really you did you set this out and cecil's like yeah that was shade she's uh she's not being serious scott's like really she goes no no i love all the parties that you bed throw all of you bed throw great parties and they're like scott's like well guess what we cut the checks okay which was not really the right thing to say and she's like oh okay i'll go and ruin your relationship now have fun have fun at your party i know um and then scott says that he went and picked up the cupcakes today so heavenly's like well i'm gonna let you all know that these 70s have done a whole lot that you probably can't do them this area here got it they got it all fucked up and jackie's like yeah it's really fucked up when we bent over for a man right we'd bend over backwards for our man you know they don't want to do that anymore these young girls don't want to do that and i'm going to run on that platform which is bring back bending over for your man yeah heavenly i love heavenly coming back with a very modern platform to run on women need to be more like they were 50 years ago okay i know just take women to bend over for the and heavenly time machine yeah um and angel's like well i bend over backwards for my man and if he was a good man i've got no problem with that bend it over bust it wide open i think in a good relationship both people are bending it's just essentially like rhythmic gymnastics up in there you know so contessa uh now has an outfit change and she has long hair sort of like Cher here.

35:34And Curtis is talking to Eugene and he's like, hey, Gene, how's it going? And Gene's like, I'm good, I'm good. He's like, well, we missed you at the thing the other night. I love Curtis and his specificity. And Eugene's like, yeah, well, I've been working out of town. You know, I go to town, I work, and then I come back. And then I just got back yesterday. And then I'm working at five different hospitals right now and they're all like two hours away. And, you know, there's all these different hospitals. But like at every hospital, the nurses are like, hey, can you come work here all the time? And I'm like, no, I can't because I can't afford to do that.

36:02I need to carry five jobs all at once for I'm not going to say why I have to earn all this money. But let's just say house number 12. House number 12. Yeah. And Curtis is like, whoa, only the nurses. What about the patients? Why are the nurses? And Cecil's like, yeah, I want to see the nurses. I just I want to see the nurses who are saying this. And he's like, guys, you're feeding into that. Listen, nurses know how you behave and who they want to work with. but they're all hinting like oh Eugene got some game with the nurses that's why they're begging yes guys the nurses are all creaming their pants over Eugene across state they're just like yes give me some more Eugene they're all passing Eugene in the hallway like hey doctor Eugene's fat I know but also like why are these guys trying to act like this is scandalous these are potential co-workers okay in an ideal world the patient is out of there in like three or four days okay if a patient's like can you please work here all the time then that's not i mean we don't want the patients to be in there all the time we want the people who are going to be in that hospital are going to be the nurses look at me taking up for eugene i'm like i'm like excuse me people please do not please do not try to create scandal around our sweet eugene eugene yeah they're just trying to make it sound like eugene is like you know lusted for by all the nurses they're just giving but eugene takes it very seriously he's like no guys seriously seriously they're like right stud he's like no guys really yeah and i like that like toya is like what what what nurses and he's like well he's like well you might like to know that some of them are men and she's like excuse me what are their names because uh paul there's a guy named paul and he likes me and he wants me to come back And Cecil knows him.

37:51So there. So there. Paul. Bring Paul on the show. Paul. Casting Paul. So Scott gives a speech. It's super romantic. He's like, hey, hey, guys. Hey, guys. Thanks so much for coming. I don't know if my wife has mentioned this, but she's never had a major birthday party in her whole life. Isn't that crazy? Let me tell you, she did so much to get this party going. It was great. It was just inspiring to watch it from the couch. You know, she's a really strong force in our household. I did just kind of call her a bitch right now in the speech. And I celebrate her for that. Okay. So also, I want to share a really important story with you guys.

38:31Long time ago, before my mother passed away, we would watch movies together. And she said, you got yourself a rose from the Titanic. She would just let you die in an ice storm. Her in an iceberg. Drowning. So have fun with that. I think my mom's specific words were she's almost as slutty as that woman Rose who took her top off to be painted by a stranger on a boat.

38:59So I couldn't tell if the mom was like, yeah, your wife's going to let you drown while she goes off with Kathy Bates in a survivor boat. But he said she's like Rose would jump back on the boat for your ass just like she did on the Titanic. She didn't jump back on the boat for him, did she? Did she? No. Is that an alternate ending? I think she just let her die. I don't remember. I think once people were off that boat, they were off that boat. Pretty sure. Yeah, like she stayed with him for a while, but then when it was time to go, they only had room for the rich people. So she got on the rich people boat, and then he floated away on driftwood until he drowned and died.

39:32Well, maybe what it was, I haven't seen the movie in a while, was that weren't the wealthy people going to get onto a lifeboat? And like Francis Fisher was like, we're doing this. And she was like, no, got to go back and save Jack. Maybe that's what the vibe was. all i know is i love when quad was like why why do we have to like go through duress to be seen as like a decent option like like why can't we just why can't we just be awesome without having to like suffer through the titanic yeah like why are you bringing it back to the titanic um yeah it's an awkward speech like you're not doing great you could have at least written a decent speech, sir.

40:12Okay. Cause this one I was like, so your mom hates Contessa. Cause I really don't think any mom would be like Rose. Let me tell you one thing Rose did. She did right by Leo. Yeah. Is Rose considered like a feminist icon or like an icon of strength and fortitude? She threw the jewel back into the ocean at the end. I mean, that was obnoxious. People are looking for that thing and it's also worth a lot. And you could have secured your, your children's, your grandchildren's future by just selling it for auction. You just throw it into the ocean. I know. Rose looks all nice, but we didn't see her grandchildren's like crippling student loan debt.

40:47You know? I know. She just throws away like$10 million. Yeah. God, I hate Rose. Commercials. Here comes one right now.

41:01So Natoya's like, so what are you pro? What are you in prom? here and we're in the 70s apparel contestant she's like well it's my party and people need to be able to tell the difference between me and you and me and the rest okay i'm just saying and so they're just like laughing because she's with all the women outside and they're hanging out and it is funny that she showed up in a prom dress like she shows up in the sparkly like ice skating dress why you just look crazy it's different if you tell everybody to wear white and you wear black or something but it's i liked her i have to say i did it did i did like her in that long i actually like both of her wigs to be honest i sort of thought like when she has her like like the big hair i kind of i i actually enjoyed that look for contessa and then when she had the long flat hair i also i also enjoyed that so i was really happy with the wig work personally um but contessa's definitely she's taking victory laps at her own party right now she's like this this is a great party, right guys?

41:56You guys are having a good time. And Angel's like, did you want your husband to throw it or are you okay with it? She goes, well, I just said, this is my last year of my 40s and I'm not gonna leave my 40s in this first half of my life with any regrets. And I think I just had a vision in my head. I said, Marriott, generic carpeted floors, coffee machine, good wifi for Zoom calls that can be put on a big screen. And I was like, boom, 50th birthday party. I wanted people to leave here and remember the glamour of a continental breakfast, you know, and I think I've accomplished that, you know, and I don't know if it would be if if I expected if somebody else planned it for me, you know, like if he did something in the backyard.

42:41I mean, no, I want people I want it to be somewhere where people can get drinks and food. And Tori's like, but why did you just tell him that and then make him do it? she's like um well i mean you know look i've been waiting 20 years for him to do something so i just would be afraid it would wind up at a holiday inn and i'm more of a marriott gal okay i just want to take the age at a bon voyage hence marit bon boy okay and simone's like well don't y 'all believe that from the beginning of the relationship we teach the men how to think and contest okay remember that you just said you told everybody in this whole group that you teach a man how to treat you just remember that for a couple of scenes ahead because you're an egg on your face man dry powdery continental breakfast eggs please don't remind me of so many hyatt house breakfasts that i refuse to eat in fact i'm not gonna act like i even endured them i'm like i shall not so simone is like if the bar or expectation is low they can jump right over that and they don't move the bar and we have to move the bar.

43:46Sorry, I'm just getting my late in the season Caribbean couples counseling ready to go. So she says that her first Mother's Day, Cecil didn't have a card for her and she's like, I got this little sucker over here and sucking on me and you don't have a card. So. And the contestant's like, okay, well, we can reevaluate our marriages after the party. okay because why are we coming after my marriage and Tori is like no no re-evaluating our marriages that's major and she's like well he knows he knows that I handle shit okay and so he just was waiting for me to handle it and I did handle it and so I had a great party and I'm happy and look how sexist you guys are because now you're waiting for the patriarchy to do it for me instead of saying why can't a woman do something on her own and they're like oh geez and quad's like you better flip it because they're like okay that was well played make it seem like okay that this is we're all being sexist you that was good that was well played so contessa's like it's my party so they like you know it actually it it was actually fine it was not a tense moment and she goes like don't worry we'll try again the next scene okay but you have fun she's like i'm stomping off now like oh we're gonna get her at the next one don't worry girls yeah also poor contessa she throws herself a big 50th birthday party and it's only like in segment two or three of the episode wow sad you don't even get the final segment so now we go to cecil simone and cecil head to their sons and you know i love their kids i love i always thought they have like just the sweetest kids but but those kids are also a little dumb because they're about to walk right into the they are about to do some dumb ass shit and they're gonna they're gonna find out what happens when you do dumb stuff This is not played well by the kids.

45:33I will say that. Or Cecil. None of them played very well. They did not play this scene very well at all. So they're having family dinner night. The boys have ordered them food as kind of a thank you for their celebration, as a thank you for their graduation party. and so they get together and cecil's you know praising like the smallest effort he's like wow you guys got food that's amazing and they're like yeah we're gonna microwave it he's like whoa wow you guys you know how to use a microwave you're doing so great isn't aren't they doing great so now how does it feel to have one less thing off of your plate now that you've graduated Oh, you're talking about because we put the food in the microwave?

46:26No, not the literal plate. We're talking about it's a metaphorical one. Please keep up. So they're like, Michael says, well, you know, nothing. I mean, it feels like nothing. So, you know, I mean, look, let's talk about this. In high school, I got the Jeep, right? The Jeep was cool. But now we're starting to teeter towards the Jeep not being so cool. She's like, oh, really? What makes a Jeep not cool? I mean, she's just ready. She's like, really? You're going to start a scene by trying to trap me into buying you a car on national television? And you think that's going to work out for you? She's like, oh, hell, though.

47:02You can already see a raising in her. She's like, no, no, sir. This was such the worst way to start your plea for everything that you're about to ask for by saying, like, it was cool then. It's not cool anymore. you say it's what you do is it doesn't it's not driving as well it's it's not it's not efficient we're spending a lot of money on gas and also it's going to the shop a lot and i'm concerned about the safety ratings and i'm afraid that if i were to get into an accident that i might die whereas in another car i might be safe i don't know you you appeal to parental things don't say it's not cool simone is like looking at him like are you kidding me the the amount of time i waited for you and your brother to get your degrees.

47:45Although actually I think that, I think Michael like he finishes in four years but Miles took a little time. She's like I have been paying for your asses for years and years and years and now you're going to complain that the Jeep that I got you that I didn't even need to get you when I could have gotten you a Toyota Corolla. You're going to say that that's not cool anymore. And she's trying to keep her cool. She's trying to be like, mm-hmm. And he goes, well, I mean it's cool still but I'm just tired of seeing it. I know you're tired of seeing it. We're all tired of seeing it. Let's just get me a new car.

48:15And she's like, tired. Well, what we have to look at, though, is your financial situation to see if you could afford to make payments. Now, listen, I put some numbers on my iPad. I ran some figures for you. So let me grab that. And he's like, whoa, whoa. I just want to say whatever you bring that iPad out, just make sure whatever is on it. It's not going to cause me to pick up your pasta off your plate and feed it to the dogs. I was like, oh, no. every line you are saying is the wrong line. Yeah. And what I loved is that she's like, okay, you want to have this conversation. I've already crunched the numbers.

48:52I'm more prepared than you think I am for this situation here. I knew this day would come and I'm ready for it. So she basically is like, she wants them to take care of themselves financially. Right. Which I don't think is unreasonable. And so Simone's like, okay, what I did was just calculate the chase bill for the last year month by month. And in January and miles goes, mom, can I, can I just stop you right there? Like, Oh no, you don't, no, no, no, no, no. You opened up this Pandora's box. You're going to hear about all the money that you kids have spent. It's like, why does this have to be negative?

49:30It's factual information. Michael spent over$60 ,000 by himself on his card. Whoa, that's crazy. that's a lot of money for one year for a kid in college a college what are you doing and like that's a car i mean what how are you like i just how do you spend basically five thousand dollars a month in college in college if you're uh maybe every ranch would you say uber eats uber eats every day all their bills and all that stuff yeah i mean like i get it like if you're living off campus in an apartment that's there's money there too but still five thousand is huge well she bought they bought them an apartment remember we saw them buy them that apartment they moved into so so and a car i don't i don't understand this this is this is crazy so he's about 60 grand and he needs to have a clear understanding about the value of money and the value of swiping just a motherfucking credit card.

50:33So he's like, well, the Chase Bell, she goes, if I were you and I wanted a car, I wouldn't be arguing with the person you were asking to buy the car, but that's me. So have you been thinking about where you want to go to law school, how you're going to finance your education? He goes, well, I do have a mother who makes pretty good money. I'm like, sir, this is not the time to be cracking jokes. And she goes, and Simone's like well I don't feel like I should be footing the bill for anything other than the roof over your head and Cecil's like well when you start thinking about law school graduate school and so forth if you're not getting any support right if no one's helping you to do that it sounds like based on what your mom is saying that what your ideal situation would be and someone's like um the only one here at the table with an actual doctorate degree is me and how I did it was I got scholarship money and loans.

51:29And actually, she's still very calm. She's just like, listen, I'm just telling you, you have to figure it out. Do the work, get the scholarship money, apply for it, get a job. You can do this. I did it. You can do it. It seems like where she really loses it here is with Cecil, as we'll see in a minute. So I'm saying he transferred from IT to real estate. and he is involved in business ventures notably the kids force app which i don't think is a thing anymore yeah i'm looking for cecil to see if he is doing stuff like what he's doing for his job why are they coming up for simone like why is this all asking simone about her money like where's cecil's money why are we talking about that you know right so um so so basically she's like get the like she's like like what about like scholarship money and michael's like well your mom wasn't able to do the things for you that you are able to do for us i mean what about all the rich white kids their parents pay their way to go for everything and then they get up college debt free and are millionaires i'm like i actually totally understand what he's saying there but the thing is you spent sixty thousand dollars on the chase card and you're sitting here asking for a new car and like you like like clearly simone's like you need to you need to learn how to figure stuff out on your own like if he hadn't i think that if he hadn't been bringing up huge amounts of money you know in college and like shows sort of and some sort of like initiative to be like i want to work towards this but i need some help you'd be like okay it'd be like my honor to help you like this is what we work for is that like younger generations but he's just sort of like a kid who's just earning he's a dumb ass paid for and now it's just like i have more money she's bought you a car she paid for your college she paid for your house she paid for your house that you live in which is crazy she's paying your credit card bill so for you to come in here and be like well you're making money you're gonna pay for it is just yeah that's dumbest move i mean you need to come in and be like i really want to go to graduate school i don't know how i'm going to work school and this at the same time you know you know what's your advice should i get a part-time job a full-time job you know whatever like work with her until she does like well i can help you if you do xyz you know like a map your education matters to me but like don't and also don't lead with the jeep don't lead with the not cool anymore so i need a new jeep lead with i'm thinking about my next steps i would love to go to law school um and i was wondering if i could get some help and then she could say well you need first get a job you don't have to go to law school right away start building up for your future.

54:10And then what happens is do that. And then I'm sure if you show initiative, I'm sure they would come in and be like, we're so proud of you that we are going to help you. But the fact that he's just like, yeah, just give me the money. She is like, and then you're going to be on TV. You're going to be like, you're going to put her in a position where she's going to look like she does not want to contribute to generational wealth. That's what he's basically doing. Like you can see, she's like this little punk that I raised. Oh my God. Yeah. And there are plenty of rich kids. It's parents are like, we'll help you with xyz but you're paying for your college and you're doing i mean you have to pass responsibility off at some point obviously not everybody does but it's not unheard of that wealthy people make their kids work you know yeah and then simone says well what about all the white people who pay for their kids to go to school be debt-free and then they still aren't doing shit which is also by the way very fair point so now like at this point it's like a it's still like a pretty chill like she's definitely getting like annoyed but like it's a chill conversation but then when And Cecil's like, well, Michael's point is still a valid one.

55:10We are blessed. We are in a situation where we can, like, you know what? You may feel that way, but save it for the conversation afterwards in the bedroom. Right now, it's like, you should have your wife's back, Cecil. Especially when your wife is carrying the load. Like, this is crazy. It's like three against one attacking her for being cheap when she pays for literally everything. So she is not going to lie. She does not like this Cecil jumping on his side. And she's like, if I'm dead before he finishes law school, then what? And he's like, well, I mean, that could happen because God might take you away.

55:48Oh, my God. They're so bad at this. I can't believe how bad they are at negotiating. And Michael's like, well, I'm done talking about this. And she goes, oh, I don't care. Be done. And she is pissed now. And she says, I'm tired of being the low man out. It's always three against one, which has been a complaint of hers this entire series. and they're still doing it to her. And Cecil's like, well, I'm going to jump in now. She goes, do not fucking jump in. Do not. Because you don't think like me. And he goes, well, after you speak, then I'll speak. And she's like, you don't think like me. You don't support me on shit.

56:22And Cecil goes, well, where did that come from? It comes from the heart. It comes from the heart. The bottom line is you're so fucking entitled is what this revealed to me. And then Michael, she's like, I'm done. I'm done. I don't know. Motherfucker. And, you know, Michael is like, he like runs away because it's actually an interesting scene because you can also see the kids reacting to this. Like Miles kind of shuts down and just like staring at his plate. Michael just like runs away. Like this is not the first time that there's been like an explosive moment in this household. But also, Michael, you you caused it.

56:56Sorry. Like that was your your you really messed up on this. You really thought you were being slick. I love when Simone goes to level 20 You know She's like gets up And then she's kind of in the hallway Or the foyer or whatever So you don't really even see her on camera You just hear her losing it And she's like I am done I don't owe you a motherfucking thing from here I am giving you everything that I have Yeah I was like damn Yes I'm just imagining I was cracking up and cheering in my house because I love when Simone lets them have it. It's like she stays there in this very like, what else would you like to add to this conversation?

57:39And she lets them get all their stupidity out and she just lays into them. It's my favorite Simone mode. I have to imagine so many parents were giving her a standing ovation. I just have to. I mean, it was just so great. And I'm just imagining Michael's friends is just giving him so much shit today like you're an idiot why did you ever think that was the way to achieve your goal you're like you don't mess that up big time big time don't move buddy okay so we go to mimi's house i'm so tired i don't even i'm tired of mimi honestly i don't even really remember any of this but uh then we go to thing quad working out at home um with her man and she's doing a stair climber or something and he's like what are you trying to do reverse the big back and she's like did you say my back is big I'm small in the waist and cute in the face with the big back in five years that's going to be clocked it will be clocked contestant Scott setting up their backyard for something deeply uninteresting and then Simone arrives at the main event, which is we're at a hookah lounge, and Simone shows up and heavily joins her at the bar.

59:03And she's like, she's like, girl, we had a family dinner that went all the way left, and I got attitude because I'm not going to pay for law school, and I never said I was paying for law school. I don't think you should. And me and him were going back and forth, and Cecil was silent too, and I just get tired of being the bad cop all by myself all the time. And I just need a break from the people that last night went so hard. I just need a break. I gotta congratulate Hookah Lounges for still being a thing. Like, how is that still something that is a thing? Like, I can't believe that has lasted.

59:44Who knew? But you know what? I didn't believe bottled water would be a thing either back in the day. Yeah. I'm very sensitive to the smell of, like, fruity things. I hate the smell of fruity and fruity smoke. It's like a lot of incense is very like hard for me. And so a lot of, and hookah lounges are very, very fruity smelling. So I instinctively, I'm just like, you know, and I just sort of like, I just like, it's like, I really have a hard time with hookah lounges. So then Brandy comes and it's her birthday. She's 42. And she's like, my hubby surprised me. He was like, invite your friends. I'm going to pay for you guys to eat, drink and have a good night.

1:00:21He's paying. yeah and it's like oh so your husband did this for you but contessa's husband did not do it for her so do you think that you should tone it down a little bit in front of people what she goes look i can't tone it down because my man is my man i mean i got a good man but also i think that she's like guys drinks on me right like i don't think this is a a crazy ostentatious moment she's like yeah my husband said they're coming for contessa they're just going to lay down this groundwork the whole time so then the other ladies come and um tory is like uh don't don't feel a dress y 'all you look just fine jackie look at jackie and she's like some of us are professional women because tory is wearing like a chanel like a shiny chanel shirt or something like that it's not even it's not even just that it's chanel it's literally sequined sequined logo this is chanel across it looks like she bought that in time square it looks ridiculous and it's like oh i'm the only one who got labels now and weren't you just complaining that somebody was spending too much money on their birthday party you are wearing one of the dumbest t-shirts i've ever seen yeah congrats on wearing your overpriced expensive designer wear to a smoky bar that's designed to be smoky and like fragrantly smoky so then um because so then jack is like well some of us professional women have more places to go than a party.

1:01:45And I was like, Oh, so you're saying that the women that walked in aren't professional. She goes, I'm just talking about you, Toya.

1:01:56If professional means being you, then I want to be me. And she's like, well, I don't want to be you. Okay. Well, that's all I'm saying. Okay. Okay. We took over. It's Brandy's birthday. So look, first let's get off some shots. And Heavenly's like, well her man is paying for this so he said i can have all the shots i wanted that's what he said sorry contessa i'm sorry contessa i'm sorry you didn't get any shots paid for you for your birthday but i got some shots right now from her outfit and brandy is like he did he said you can have all the shots i love this at contessa's party i feel like we didn't get a chance to really kick it and contessa's like um well you know that's the only negative about having a party is that you just don't get to spend quality time with everyone that's why the next day i did a brunch And I said, if I didn't get a chance to hug you, please come to the house.

1:02:40And I literally cooked from like 10 o 'clock to the morning until, you know, nine o 'clock in the evening. And they're like, what? And Toya's like, where was that? Who do you know that stays at a brunch for 11 hours? My friends will not be at my house for 11 hours. Are you kidding? Who did you invite? That was passive aggressive cooking. That was her being like, let's see how long I can cook before Scott offers to take over or to, you know, ordering food and so he of course did nothing and so she sat there cooking until nine o 'clock making pancake after pancake yeah but also i don't want to celebrate you two days in a row you know what i mean like you had your party glad it was fun it's over now let's all go back to real life where it's not your birthday every day so um they said well where was scott the next day he can cook and she's like oh he was outside smoking cigars of course but you know what it's okay i really enjoy taking care of people yeah but who's going to take care of you she goes you know what I think paying for that party was Scott taking care of me.

1:03:38So that was his way. Brandy's like, okay, hello. Hi, sorry. I just want to bring it back to me for a second. It's my birthday, you know? And Toya's like, no, not for a second. It's the whole night. It's your birthday. And she goes, well, my husband and kids are on the phone. So while everyone look, and she brings up, they're on FaceTime. She goes, this is my husband and all my kids. They just want to say, and so they want to say thank you. And everyone's like, oh, thank you guys. and uh condessa's like happy birthday brandy this is an amazing party and um brandy keeps on saying like thank you over and over again to like her kids like okay thank you thank you thank you thank you which in my mind i thought was her way of being like okay we're gonna wrap this up thank you again okay bye guys bye bye you know when you do that but then they're like why is she saying thank you so many times what's wrong with her she's saying thank you so much well she is i mean look i will agree with contessa that it is getting a little like okay i've got my whole family on the phone okay say thanks to my family everybody because you're getting your free drinks and your free dinners like it is a little weird uh it's a little over the top than just being like okay come to my birthday and i picked it up of course because i'm hosting a birthday party for myself and i'm an adult you know it's like okay let's thank him again let's thank him let's keep thanking him and part of me was like well aren't you you own your own business so it's not like you're poor and your husband's just giving you this money don't you have a joint account like what's happening here but um i didn't think she was being mean spirited or anything but it felt a little weird and now they've been kind of attacking well i don't want to say attacking but they've been coming for contessa and hinting at her relationship sucking um and so she's like Well, happy birthday, Brandy.

1:05:22Yeah, this is an amazing dinner party. But, you know, can we pray to God or do we have to pray to your husband for thanking him for the food as well? And then Heavenly gives her first evil heavenly hyena cackle of the evening. She's like.

1:05:42It's like it's so it's so. So I. Dog showed up outside my house. So I was like, go away, go away. It was so high. It was very, very big. So she laughs because she loves that Contessa just sort of clocked Brandy. And Brandy goes, okay, well, you're in your feelings. That's okay. Then she goes, well, no, we're thanking all these husbands a lot. And these husbands are getting a lot of credit for some basic shit. Like, he's buying you your drinks and your dinner. I think you can say thank you. Not that big of a deal. Don't do that, Contessa. Don't do that. I mean, we're in a strip mall, not a plaza.

1:06:20OK, and it's like, well, here's the thing. My husband paid for this and he's paid for everybody to come and have a good night. And my husband's amazing. So I give my husband props and I'll tell anybody. So I'm sorry that you couldn't say that if it's a problem for you or anybody else. And she's like, well, I think you guys are the problem. Because did you hear my husband complain one minute about how much money that was spent? And because the only thing that my husband did not do was plan it. But I'll be honest, if he would have done this for my first birthday party, I would have been underwhelmed.

1:06:47I mean, this isn't really even a birthday party, in my opinion. Okay. And that's where she just, oh, no. They baited you and you immediately fell in. They've been baiting you. Why are you falling into this? Well, I mean, and also her saying that, like, if he had done this for my first birthday, I'm like, well, you're 50. So, like, the fact that he actually is not, I'll tell you what he did for your first birthday. Nothing for the past several years. Yeah. So you were underwhelmed and hungry. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, so yeah, she totally, now she's spiraling. Cause she's obviously so unhappy in her marriage and she's so unhappy that Scott did nothing.

1:07:25And she was trying to act like she didn't care, but now she's totally unraveling. And Brandy's like, okay, this is getting out of hand. Okay. This is a dinner. Okay. This is a dinner night. Brandy. Okay. Brandy spent zero. My husband paid for it. And Cadessa was like, oh, well I just, I brought some money just in case. Don't worry. So I can pay for it. And she brings out like this change purse with like lots of cash in it which means that she was already ready to get she was already upset because she brought this no one brings cat that much cash around unless they know they have a certain reason to spend it this is we're essentially in a cashless economy we're moved towards that and you're only bringing cash out for certain specific things i believe and so i think that a bunch i saw 220s i mean oh it looked like it it looked like a lot more to me than that i mean i don't know maybe i just projected it thanks for offering the 20 for the bill contessa what the hell a thousand dollars but either way i was like you were prepared for this you were prepared to come up with a bad attitude and so uh brandy's like well why do you have that money she's like so it's like you brought you brought all your birthday money and she's like well we have joint bank account i have access and mimi's like okay put your point your coin purse back okay nobody needs to see that and And Quan's like, the shade is real, baby.

1:08:43Quan's loving it. And so, and Brandy's like, yeah, the shade's very real. Well, Contessa was upset. Because, well, what was I upset about? About Scott not throwing a party for you? And I don't know why you forgot. You forgot that he didn't throw you a party. Well, why is it this paternalistic world where some man has to throw some shit for me? I make just as much money as him. and so this is where heavenly is like okay well not only does contessa complain about scott to her friends and then she switches her story and she gets mad at you if you remember what she said the day before and now i've learned to just accept it just stay out of her shit if you know any better now i just hint at other people to say it then i watch them fight and contessa's like why are we focusing on the negative contessa you start you are the one focusing on the negative Oh no You started it These bitches And so Toyo's like All we are saying is that At the end of the day At the end of the day You did nothing for nothing And that's all that Daddy can say For the life of the daddy That's right And that you fucking complain All the time about your husband She goes well you complain All the time about your husband And it's fucking not right bitch Now can we move on Where the fuck is the cake so Angel's like this might be normal behavior for everybody I guess that's what I'm learning and then they probably will just start hugging and laughing and then sure enough they're like okay hugs laughs they're all laughing like everything's fine now and so Simone's like well do you think that there is ever a time where maybe you are frustrated and Heavenly goes we all are be quiet Heavenly oh sorry and Contessa's like listen we've been married 20 years and if I spent all the time focusing on the negatives I would be like my girlfriends who are out here still single which is the worst thing known to man a single woman so maybe at 30 years he's going to do some of those things that I've asked for and she goes oh I've been married for 29 years he is not gonna do anything trust me I was like i was like please enlighten her simone cadessa's like so yes it would be nice sometimes if he bought me a rolls royce you know or something like that but you know i like the ring better and quad's like well some people here are married and don't even want to be married anymore and marriage isn't that because quad is like i have them i have the ring and the rolls royce baby And Simone's like Simone's like well Quad Who here doesn't want to be married anymore Other than me And they're like what Yes you do Simone you want to be married She's like you have no idea Don't say that Don't say it do not make us Spend another four hour reunion Fighting about you and Cecil Please But Simone is like oh you don't understand how angry I am at this guy.

1:11:50And that's where it ends. Are they going to get divorced? Is it heading to divorce again? I don't know. I don't think they're going to get divorced. But I hope that she just goes back in there and calmly says, you have proven to me that you were a spoiled little shit. And guess what? I was going to help you out with college. And now I'm not. So good luck getting your life together. And you're lucky I'm still paying your rent and your Jeep. So if you still want those, you'll shut the fuck up. Okay?
