Miss Quad, Heavenly, Toya. Toya.

2:08Yes, welcome to Married to Medicine. So we open with Dr. Jackie and her crazy glasses. I saw someone online call them wicked glasses. Yeah, that's what Dom was saying. She's like, oh, she's still got her wickets on. So funny. So she is delivering a baby. She's like, it's two in the morning. I'm about to go lie down. Babies need to get some sleep inside the uterus or not. And I need to make sure that this baby does not have a gigantic thyroid embarrassing it at parties. Dr. Jackie, making sure babies stay thin one baby at a time. Thank you. Jackie out. and Angel is talking about what her life is like on her shift, she's saying it's been like another long shift, and she's like, one of my patients didn't even want to keep his clothes on, and I said are you single?

2:59Because I'm really looking for a man so Mimi, then we go to Mimi who's saying she's having a rough day because Mr. Sanders is gone, and we need all hands on deck at the office, okay, pray for me people, pray for me and she shows us her office which I was amused because she has like a chandelier in her office She has a little chandelier light fixture over her desk, which I feel like is kind of an extravagant little decor detail for a therapist's office. Like, please, tell me about your decaying marriage under the light of this crystal chandelier. But I know it's supposed to make it feel more personal at home.

3:36I know why it's there. I just thought it was funny. It was like a funny little detail. She's like, I'm putting up a chandelier. So back at Quad's house, she's having an I'm back party. And she's like, I'm back. and they're like, yes you are welcome back Quad so tell me about your trip so then meanwhile, Heavenly's crying she's like, I miss Quad, you look good girl I miss you so much Quad hey Quad, how are you Quad I miss you Quad she's got her high pitched Muppet voice on and Quad is like, well, I'm not pregnant at all, that's what I'm gonna tell you all I'm not pregnant and Heavenly's like, I mean, 15 times a week I mean, you could be right And Angel's like, what?

4:1815 times a week? They're like, what? That's crazy. Then Contessa shows up. And Contessa's, she shows up and she has this gift. And Quad opens it and says, giant teddy bear. I'm like, Contessa, you know that she doesn't have a baby, right? It's like, is this a gift for the eggs? It's just neck retrieval. I brought you some hot sauce for your eggs to celebrate your eggs. Like, what the hell? What kind of gift is this? Yeah. And she's like, oh, I think she wants me to have a boy. Girls don't like bears. And she's like, isn't that cute? It's like a Contessa outfit. Inappropriate for the mood. So she's like, well, you've been on your new plan.

5:04Have you been craving anything in particular, like any sugar, since you're not drinking? And Clyde goes, Contessa, look at my ass. Look at it. She's like, oh, don't worry about that. It's going to come right off. You know, I gained 70 pounds when I was pregnant. I was like a whole other person. I mean, I wouldn't even let Scott come in and watch me on the scale. We have a great marriage. It was crazy. So then Katessa's like, yeah, I don't care what people say. Being pregnant is not a beautiful experience. Okay, you have to go to the bathroom all the time, and then you just start to pee a little bit.

5:34And then it's just like, a kid just suction cupped on my breast. It's not nice. So they asked what happened in Ghana. And she said that they got four eggs fertilized. And after that long process, it was a huge win. And she's like, and now we just need those eggs to fertilize at 100%. So now she's getting text messages every day telling her about the eggs, you know, and how it's going. And Heavenly is like, oh, cheers, baby. Cheers, the embryo, baby. Cheers, the embryo, baby. So King meets up with the guys because who doesn't need a guy scene? And I like that they're doing it in the barbershop.

6:14I like it too. I love a good guy in a barbershop scene. I love Eugene at the barbershop because I don't think we've ever seen him with hair. I'm sure there's some hair that grows in that they need to shave off. But they're having this whole scene and Eugene, his eyes are closed and he's getting misted with product. He was just enjoying a moment of silence without Toya. yeah um so king is like king is like well uh hi everyone so sunday well this is going well and eugene's asking like when did you get back from ghana and he's like sunday night morning monday morning i mean it was originally supposed to be like one trip but it turned out to be like five trips you know i'm saying like wow man that's a lot that's a lot of going to ghana he's like yeah it's like it's taking time away from my work taking time away from my daughter who we never see.

7:07It's a lot of going back to Ghana. That's King's way of being like, I'm sick of it. Yeah. And they're like, well, we do see you supporting her. You know, you're getting points for that. He's like, yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot of catering to someone's needs and then neglecting your needs at the same time. No, sir. No, sir. Stop acting like this woman's just begging me for a baby. It's all about her. That's your child too, sir. Okay. And if you don't want to do that, stop phrasing it like, you know, I think if he said something like, going back to Ghana is a lot, we need to do this in America. Okay.

7:39I think that's a fair request. But phrasing this is like, oh yeah, it's a lot catering to someone's needs and then ignoring your own needs. Oh, no. King continuing to give me the worst vibes. So he's like, yeah, but you know, it's a time that I gotta put my own feelings aside and just support you. Yeah. And she's like, but that's not fair. That's not right. He goes, well, it doesn't have to be fair. It doesn't have to be right, but it's what's needed. And I have to be there for you to support you and keep us together. So, I mean, I didn't think that that was that bad that he was like, well, it's not, yeah, it's not fair to me that I have to, you know, kind of like put everything in my life on pause.

8:22But that's what's the right thing to do. I thought that was actually a nice thing to say around him. No, you don't think that was nice? No, not how he's saying it. He's like, oh, yeah, I have to put everything aside just to support you and keep us together and just do all this to keep us together. No, you're going to have a child together. You're not doing her some huge fucking favor. I don't like that. Like putting the whole thing. It's like, oh, the woman wants a baby. Now we're stuck having this baby. I'm just going to do it because I love the woman. It's like I'm doing you a huge favor. No one is doing you a favor when they're telling you what a favor they're doing you every five minutes.

8:50Right. So Cecil is like, well, if you were to bring up what you were needing now, you would look selfish, right? He's like, there you go. And Cecil's like, and that's the thing. you know you and i know eugene can relate because like you have to learn as a mate that there's a time and a place to have a discussion i'm like says cecil the time and the place who doesn't seem to ever know the time or the place and that time or place doesn't seem to have ever arrived to have the discussion right of like uh the discussion of being on your wife's side i don't know what i'm trying to say here i'm trying to be like being here i'm like the point is that cecil when it comes to talk discussions of timing Cecil is not the expert on this oh yeah and as Cecil like trying to be an expert and when in five minutes he's about to start like losing it in the kitchen for no reason so he's like yeah now's not the time you know when Simone's on call I'm not going to discuss anything that's meaning you know because I know like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna discuss anything I need to discuss because like I know where we're at you know am I lying and Eugene's like, life's too short, man.

9:52Just do whatever they want. Just do what they want. So we go back to Quad's house and she's like, what are you at? What was going on while I was gone to Ghana? While I was gone to Ghana? While I was Ghana? I'm just going to say that. I was here, then I was Ghana. Cadessa goes, well, we made some handbags and Quad's like, like, what? She kind of like laughs, like, that's ridiculous. And then she goes, man, it turned into a you know, a feud between Toya And then Heavenly and Qua's like, well, I'm gone. I'm in Ghana. And I'm trying to get these kids. And you guys are all here acting like a fool. And Heavenly's like, well, she was talking about her husband.

10:27And I'm like, you talked about my child. And Angel's like, well, I think anyone would feel it some way if they talked about your child. And I was like, yeah, but like if you talk about my child, I think it's time for, you know, it's open for me to talk about any fucking thing I want to talk about. So then Angel's like, yeah, I think that's totally right. But then I don't think Toya talked about her child. And in fact, someone even says it at some point, like, uh, Toya never talked about your child. Like in this, in this case, at least not as I remember in the group text. No, but Heavenly says that because based on what she's going through right now with her son, that Toya knew that.

11:01And she talked about her family. So she was hinting that it was her son. So, so she still gets what she got. So Heavenly's like, I mean, she can, she came in kind of hard. Like where's all this animosity coming from? and Contessa's like, well, you said she was talking about your kid, but I mean, that happened years ago. Why would they even still talk about it? And she's like, I don't know, because it came up in the blogs. It just came up in the blogs. So Contessa's like, well, I wonder if Simone looked it up. I'm just playing ha ha ha ha ha, but seriously, I wonder if Simone looked it up. You want to talk some shit about Simone?

11:33Oh yeah, she looks up everybody's stuff. She looks up everybody's stuff. And Quad's like, what kind of friend looks up everybody's stuff? all of you I mean you're the one who always has the price of Toya's houses and yes keeps track of all the robberies in the neighborhood etc so Evelyn's like well she said that if she had the VIN number she'd look up that damn car too and Angel's like what and I was like yeah the Rolls Royce so they're like what she would look up the she would look it up I'm like I don't think I mean maybe Simone would but I think that I'm assuming she was making a joke So Qua is like, she should have known that Heavenly was going to come back and tell me.

12:15She should have known that. How do you operate with a person who would go behind your back and start snooping around looking for some shit? Bravo. Have you seen a reunion? Have you ever seen a manila folder at a reunion? Well, am I not a good friend for telling her? Because I don't know. Maybe I'm fucked up. I don't know. Maybe I'm the bad one here. And Contessa's like, no, you need to know where you stand with people. all so then we go to mimi's house with stevie and stevie's not having a good day um and he's you know like having a temper tantrum he's like he wants his sister and he wants his dad and she's like we sent the sister away because sometimes she needs you know she needs to just be a normal kid and not deal with all this stress because the because stevie you know we saw when he acts out like he punched his sister and everything it is man my heart really goes out to this family because this is very difficult like they have a whole conversation about it and she's basically like i'm depleted i'm emotionally drained from my patients because they come in and they tell me about their lives and it's hard it's hard on me and i'm drained and i just can't sit here and make dinner and i i don't know am i crazy this is might be one of those things where ben believes in good in people and ronnie doesn't but it seems like steve is like pretty awesome he's like it's all good he's like yeah i think they deal with the kid really well you know yeah he's like really supportive.

13:35It was also funny when they're like, uh-oh, he's got the lamp. Ronnie doesn't believe. What am I going to say? Yeah, Steve's a shithead. We just had a whole conversation now. Well, I never know. I never know. You're going to be like, Ben, don't fall for it. He's just doing this to look nice, and afterwards, he's going to go, no. Come on. But it's more that he's he's also really supportive of Mimi with that. I really appreciate that. Like, I, I think their vibe is so loving and watching them dealing with the situation is actually pretty fascinating. And, uh, but it was, I was like, God, this is, this is a lot when they have to be, when they're having a conversation and then they have to say, Oh, Stevie's got the lamp.

14:22I'm like, Oh man, the lamp, like these parents are, are they're like on guard at all times. I mean, she even says at one point like sometimes it's just hard i'm just driving back from work and i've got stevie in the back seat and i never know if he's gonna throw something in my head while i'm driving that's like wow like oh my god my heart really goes out to them just because it's it's it must be totally draining you have to be you have to be ready at all times you're on alert and it's hard it's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial

14:58so now heavenly goes to meet her brother travis for lunch her brother you say her brother i say i was like what so she's like i've got news there's a new man in my life i have a brother my brother came to my office my front desk said my brother was there and honestly i didn't believe them because i don't have a brother but he knew my grandma's name so now i have a brother what I would love it if this was just a total stranger and she's just really excited to have a brother she's like I don't really care I'll take the brother it works for me they really did a big tee up also as he was walking they show his shoes and the bottom of his legs and it's like oh is this her son is it a reunion no it's a stranger so yeah she has a new brother now and it turns out she never knew about the brother so they're talking about it It's like, based on what he knows and the way he looks and the way he moves, it reminds me of my father's to know I have a brother.

15:54I was just thinking, well, that would be the craziest trick of all to pretend to be Heavenly's brother. Of all the people that you could choose in the world, to be like, you know what? That one. The lady who's always in trouble on Married to Medicine. I'm going to make my sister. her. Yeah. So she's like, okay, let's do a little bit of math. So how old are you? You're 59. I'm 54. And then my mommy and my dad were married. So, well, she's like, she's like, oh my God, he was like, this was this, this child was born out of an affair. I'm like, what part of a heaven of a brother that you never knew about that suddenly shows up, says he was born not from an affair.

16:38Like, of course he's from an affair. Isn't that like the first rule of like surprise sibling yeah so she's like well i didn't think my dad was a cheater i mean he was in the service and he always traveled so we never really got to know my dad's side of the family maybe now i see why because dad has secrets dad had secrets yeah the traveling not a good sign so um heavenly is like so did you ever meet my father did you meet him and he's like i did and she's like when did you met him? And she's like, yeah, it's like when I was little and he was like really nice and stuff. And he was good. And, you know, you know, he was really like, he was really friendly and he'd be like, Oh, I'm going, I'm going in a minute, but it was nice.

17:18I was like, Oh, and your mom, what did she say about my father? Was it negative? Was it negative? Did she say something negative? And like, well, daddy never cared about y 'all. Something like, tell me about daddy. And he's like, when you say, tell me about daddy, are you talking about your husband or are you talking about our father? I just need to get some clarification before I proceed. Well, I guess I've really never thought about how creepy that was until right now. But, yeah, tell me about daddy. And he's like, no, no, she never said anything bad about dad. And she said, well, my father was the deacon at church.

17:46I mean, you never would have thought that he had outside kids. The deacon at church having outside kids. Come on, man. Has she never read, like, a romance novel? Hello. So, Heavenly is like, she's saying that she can't wait for him to meet daddy. and my daddy was a good man from what i could see he was a provider what what is this about parents dying and then suddenly everything they do is okay what do you mean he was a good man he just had a family outside of your mom in secret she's like my dad what a good man god that was a good guy he provided a brother so um heavenly is talking about her kids and she goes well damon jr i haven't seen him in a minute and he's like why not she's like well he got arrested and he just got his shit and left.

18:34After you cursed him out and probably said, you're a worthless piece of shit. Why did you, you're a disappointment to this family. Why would you, how could you do this to me? I'm running for office and I put a roof over your head. Like she went, she went in on him so hard. We know because she's like, well, I'm just leaving all the story out. Yeah. He got arrested and then he got his shit and left. There needs to be at least a dot, dot, dot in that sentence somewhere. Come on. And he's like, well, that's not good. And she goes, yeah, it's really rough for me. And daddy, well, not your daddy, my daddy.

19:07Not my daddy, my husband. Daddy. Damn, do I have to come up with a different nickname for daddy? Can we just start calling daddy father? Can we please just start calling daddy father? Deacon father. Deacon father. That's what we're calling him now. Mine is big dick daddy and ours is just regular daddy. So he is like, actually, that's happening with my son, too. She's like, oh. And they're basically like, yeah. He's like, it's hard because they need to know that there's other family out there. So, I know you might be mad at me, but you can still be around the family and take the village and everything.

19:44So, she's like, well, guess what? I'm going to have a family reunion. And I'm going to invite all my friends and none of my family. So, it'll be great. You want to come talk? He's like, yeah, I'll come. I'll bring everybody to that. So, just a question. and this is no pressure, but will you be doing free dental care at this thing? Because I just thought of the real, I was like, why would anybody lie about Heavenly being their sister? But then I realized caps. Yeah. Free caps, crowns. Because dental insurance does nothing. Dental insurance does nothing. I wonder how many dentists have had like long lost brothers showing up, being like, oh, no, you have a sibling.

20:23Okay, get a family discount, right? For free. Okay, wire me up. So, as part of this family reunion, there's going to be a mac and cheese off. Everyone's going to make their own mac and cheese. There's going to be a thing. So, now, after the scene, we're going to go all around the city, and we start with Heavenly. And she doesn't know how to make mac and cheese because Heavenly doesn't cook. And we see this. She, like, pulls out her pots and pans. They, like, all clatter on the floor. And so, since she doesn't know how to make mac and cheese, she calls up the person that one would always call for a mac and cheese recipe, Dr.

20:55Jackie. Who the hell is calling Dr. Jackie? to find out how to make a roux. You understand that that is butter. Jackie's a no. That is flour. Jackie is a no. That is cheese. Jackie is a no. Why? Unless you're calling to find out, you know, when we're going to give the animals rights in Oz, don't call Jackie. She's like, okay, mac and cheese. What you do is you get a mac truck and you put all the cheese in the mac truck and you drive it off a cliff. Mac and cheese. So no one ever gets large. And she has no idea. By the way, she has no idea because she's like, okay. Listen, bitch, I want to know if you know how to make macaroni and cheese because I'm trying to make it and I got the macaroni, so how do you make macaroni and cheese, bitch?

21:37How do you make it? She's like, okay, well, first off, you're going to need to boil the pasta. She's like, I know that. She actually goes, okay, no doy, no doy, which I love. It's a very nice 90s reference. And then she's like, okay, and you're going to cook it for 40 minutes and bring it back down. It says 46 minutes, 40 minutes. Jackie, we're about to burn some shit. Just stick to vaginas. Jackie has no idea. She's like, well, okay, you're going to boil the pasta. And there's also cheeses in that. So you're going to need to get lots of cheeses, different kinds of cheese. Jackie, it's cheddar cheese, Jackie.

22:17Just get whatever kinds of cheeses that they have. And then you'll need to put that in there with some popsicle. No, not pasta. Okay, what you do is you get some collagen. No, no, no collagen in there. Do you think when she said 40 minutes, she meant put it in the oven for 40 minutes? Because I just can't imagine anyone would cook pasta, boil pasta for 40 minutes, unless she wants to turn the pasta into its own sauce. No, I'm guessing she means in the oven, but she doesn't know how to make it. I don't know. She doesn't know. She doesn't know how to make it. so now we go to Simone's house where Cecil is making his mac and she's like how do you feel about this mac and cheese cook off and he's like well I know that my mac and cheese is great so you know I know what mine's gonna do and she's like you are the mac to the cheese isn't this a fun scene now let's fight I know so they're talking about how like Eugene thinks he's gonna kick some ass but but Cecil's really gonna be the one to do he's gonna be really good but before we actually get to the fight, we then go over to Toya's house where actually Ashton, the son, is cooking and he's really cute.

23:28He's like, well, I'm making a roux and then I'm going to be making a bechamel sauce. Did you mean to put snow salt in your bechamel sauce? Sorry, Ghost of Padma doesn't care who she haunts. If you're cooking and you're not famous, I'm there. He's like, well, when did you go to the cordon bleu and learn how to cook, son? And she's like, well, we definitely have this mac and cheese competition in the bag because Ashton has taken on Eugene's style of cooking and he enjoys making things difficult.

24:00Everything's got to be difficult. They don't use the microwave. His plan is to cook the mac and cheese in one green egg and then transfer it to a second green egg and finish it there. I'm like, where's the ham? Where's the ham? Then we go back to Simone's and she's like, they're talking about the mac and cheese, and she's talking about what, she's like, I used to make mac and cheese. And he's like, well, you mean Kraft mac and cheese? And she's like, the box mac and cheese. Here's the thing. I have my staples. I got spaghetti. I've got barbecue baked chicken and chili, and everyone loves my chili.

24:38Bet you can't believe this is about to turn into a real fight. She's like, wait a minute, why are you laughing about my chili? And he goes, well, I'm just laughing, babe, because the chili you're making is the one that's out of the package. And she goes, that is why I stopped cooking because you're hating on me. You, Miles and Michael, you are not appreciative of me opening the box and pouring the things into a pan. So here it is. You don't respect me, which by the way, they don't. So she's like, this has been a year of realization. Nobody appreciates the doctor and it has weighed on me heavily that you and the boys, no one has ever said to me, what can I do to take something else off your plate?

25:24What can I do to make life easier for you? You know, Cecil's like, you see, I'm the one making the mac and cheese right now, right? For your show.

25:34But she's right, though. You know, because now he gets mad. He's like, what do you mean I don't ever do anything for you? Of course I do anything. Of course I do stuff for you. She's like, well, I mean, with the boys. Why not with the boys? and um he's like no i see it but do you see where i'm coming from a minute ago after you said i've never done anything to take stress off like cso gets way worked up in this and he's like and if you can say something that hurts feelings and then apologize then i can say something that hurts feelings and apologize and we should be able to move on and that's what people are supposed to do And she's like, okay, that would be amazing.

26:11I'm going to discontinue this mad at my husband scene because my husband is too worked up in a scene that I'm supposed to be worked up. I'm going to smile and laugh and blow this conversation off now. Thank you. Thank you. And he's like, you know, I could have picked some soft, quiet woman to fall in love with because I'm soft-spoken. And then they wind up laughing. And he says, yeah, you're soft-spoken when you sleep. and they start cracking up meanwhile at toy his house she's like oh oh ashton i don't know what you're doing with your rule or whatever and he's like um actually i'm turning it into a and she's like okay but that better be damn good people better say they taste your rigmarole whatever you make it over there it's like oh my god get out of my kitchen mother so now it's a family reunion it's like a rec center kind of place and um gathering community hall whatever and so heavenly is setting up and um so you know she's saying how contessa's not coming so not to worry about her food and um she says contessa's and she says contessa's not coming so we don't have to worry about her taking all the damn food home oh

27:27so um so she's like people coming in she's like daddy daddy you made a daddy daddy get over your daddy so she's really happy and um and then zach comes and um she's like oh is your brother coming zach and he goes i don't know did you tell him just have you spoke to him zach goes did you call him and she goes well i mean i texted him and told him but have you spoken to him and he's like well i'm maybe two weeks ago she's like for real i didn't know that you spoke to him okay well that's good that's me hi your brother zach is like leave me out of this please yeah and then simone and her family show up and everything and then toya and her family arrive and there's a lot of like oh my god hi and everyone's in different colors because they're like different teams and stuff so it's a lot of people just arriving for a while it felt like real houses of beverly hills except instead of people wowing fashion they were just kind of like wowing like tins of of mac and cheese instead

28:34so um cecil is like well hello harris family you all came out here strong in the yellow and toy is like did you see the bussets taller than me and everything goes yeah both of them they're taller than eugene too and she goes nah and he's like no they're not that's where he goes oh yeah well your other son so he's the only one that showed up today called yeah what come on that was so low right in front of zach too it was so low and he's like well this is a family reunion so don't start any shit and toy was like no i'm just waiting for the rest of the family's okay and toy just starts cracking up she's like so proud of her her dig and Kevin Lee's like, this fucking bitch, if there weren't children here right now.

29:18So Mimi comes up and everything and then King and Quad show up in a Ferrari which is so extra for this cute family reunion kind of activity where people are bringing mac and cheese and they're like in a Ferrari. Yeah, come on baby. So Toya's like, okay, they traded their Rolls Royce for a Ferrari or what? And Eugene's like, oh, yeah, King's T-shirt says web. And Simone's like, they are not married. Well, Quad and a Ferrari and shit. I mean, wait, wait a minute. Why do you need all those damn shirts? And Quad has like 100 shirts. And she's like, you know, we brought people. We've got family. And Quad brings like 20 people.

30:01I love it. Yeah, she brought like a giant squad. You can't spell squad without Quad. so um then angel and the guy arrives and um everyone's like wait a second who's that i thought she said she was single and everything and toy is like what angel who's this person angel you know angel's asked me on multiple occasions introduced her to one of ujian's friends preferably a doctor and i thought your hot girl season was over but she's like mad that angel actually found someone outside of toya's purview yeah um so quad and jackie are talking about the egg retrieval and that they got four and jackie's like you can do this you can do this now how do you make mac and cheese because someone needs to tell me so heavenly gets on the mic and she's like all right can i get your attention we just want to thank everybody for coming it means so much to me this year made us realize how important family is and how important how important real purses are not to a family do a family they can't eat the purses toya i'm just saying toya I'm just saying.

31:04Now, I don't show many emotions, but when I do ask Dr. Duck like this, I just wanted to thank my brother for reaching out to us. And he does already have a whole rack of new teeth. So congratulations to him. Congratulations. Heavenly is saying she doesn't show a lot of emotions when she cursed out her son so badly that he has left the house and refuses to talk to his parents. I'm not a very emotional person, though. So now it's time for the mac and cheese thing. And so Toya goes and stands by the vote box. and she's like monitoring every vote that goes in there and like she's like putting yellow votes because yellow is her color and people wait a second no no no i didn't i didn't say vote for yellow she's like oh really sorry i was like wow if there's ever been a metaphor metaphor for 2026 it's toya and the voting box oh gosh yeah she's like oh you said yellow they're like no i said five for red okay it's like we can't trust any systems anymore jackie's like uh toya tricked me and had me vote pink and it wasn't even my macaroni.

32:05She is cheating. So then it starts, you know, there's a thunderstorm and Toya is still pushing yellow very, very hard and now they're all suspicious of Toya. Everybody's like, why are you okay? What do you get to be in charge? This is my shit. She's like, well, I just want to make sure everyone has a chance to vote, right? Everyone, vote, vote. All ballots are accepted, but only the yellow ones. Thank you very much, everyone. Yeah. and um tory is like oh ashton won ashton won i'm like you cheated that's why she's awkward it's okay we won sassy sassy ass it's like you cheated you cheated it's like it's okay you are you gonna tell that child that he didn't win go ahead y 'all just so you know ashton won ashton won like cheater i wish much better for a child's self-confidence to leave a party with um like 50 people yelling cheater at him.

33:01I know, right? I wish we could have seen more of the mac and cheese. I think if anything, they should have done like a parody Top Chef moment where we saw like the plates of mac and cheese and we could have like judged because I would have liked to have weighed in, but I didn't have enough to go on. I assumed that Quads was going to be the best. And I did notice that her cooking with Quad cookbook was still prominently displayed on her shelf in her kitchen. Yeah, good for her. She's had a couple of cookbooks, hasn't she? She should. I trust her cooking. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, Toya cheated to get her kid the win.

33:34Congratulations, Ashton. So, now she goes up to Angel. Toya's just in a destroyer mood. So, she sees Angel sitting there with her new guy and she comes over and she's like, so, what part of the family are you in? And she's like, um, that's my friend. That's my friend. She's like, you're what? You're stuttering the shit. He's like, uh, he's a close friend. Very close. How long y 'all been talking? And he's like, oh, about a decade. She's like, a decade? A decade? And Angel's like, well, Toya's very inquisitive. Sorry about this. Did I mention he's a doctor? And Toya's like, so this is your woman?

34:14He's like, she's like, well, we used to date Toya. And he's like, oh, really, really? And Bernard, this guy Bernard's like, well, we'll see. We'll see. Oh, really? Because you found out that I was going to hook her up, right? Because she told me she wanted me to hook her up. She looked at other guys. I'm like, Toya, why are you being such a cock blocker right now? She's such an asshole. Toya is such an asshole. And this guy's like, damn. And she's like, Toya, wait a minute. No, no, tell me a bit more. Tell me more. She goes, no, I did say you have a nice husband. And I wish I had a man like that.

34:45And do you and Eugene have friends? I did say that. Okay, I did say that. It's like, okay, well, what do you want to be with her? Do you want to be with her? and he's like well I mean that's why I'm here I'm here for a reason she goes okay so what's the problem then why is she looking for other men I don't know maybe like we should resurrect Millionaire Matchmaker with Toya okay do you like her do you like her so why aren't you married what's going on and she just could break up everything that seems like it's going well so Toya goes so how was she in bed and she's like what this is bullshit okay enough bye bye Toya Toya is such an asshole this season Every episode, she is such an asshole.

35:23I know, but she's funny, so. I don't know. I forgive it. I forgive it. She is. She's funny. She's a funny asshole. So, Heavenly is like, she calls everyone for a dance-off. And she's like, I've never had a big family before, so this is amazing. And next year, the Kimes family reunion will have all the children. Angel will be married to Bernard. Toya won't ask any more damn messy questions. her child will be in prison for cheating

35:54mac and cheese cheating that is so it's cute everyone's dancing and it's a fun we don't know a lot about this because like we just saw people you know kind of having fun or dancing or whatever we didn't get into like a lot of nitty gritty details but there's one thing i can promise you there were a lot of farts at this family reunion a lot of farts yeah this was it was a very sweet lovely scene um and a little bit boring so then we go to quad's house and um this is a typical quad and king banter that he's like in one room and he gets a call from quad he's like why are you calling me you're right next door it's just easier to call you and i'm nervous i just got a text message from mary at the hospital i also got a text message saying we're running out of time the democrats are losing it was all in caps it was very triggering for me so please just come up in here please help me out and he's like okay i'm on my way so we got do we have good news four boys what you're gonna solidify the throne give me an air masculine child come on what is it she's like uh we know you're all about your masculinity we got it king we got it so she's like should i read it should you read it and he's like just sit down and read it so she She gets a message from them saying that she had four embryos initially.

37:15One reached the marula stage by day six, but that's slow in terms of development. And the other three are still at a cleavage stage. And he's like, well, at least they got cleavage. She's like, that's not what it means. That's not a good thing. I said I wanted masculine babies. Now they already got tits. No, stop saying that. And Ronnie hates that word. So rude. but um basically it's this is how we say it in the medical community boobies only please or breasticles thank you but basically it's not the news that she wanted it's it's it's it sounds like this is not taking and king says it very eloquently so basically it didn't work she goes oh i feel like a failure that's how i really feel and then there's like a very long beat and King realizes he's supposed to say something.

38:11He goes, you're not a failure. Come here. Come here into my cleavage. And so then she's like, it's just so tough. And she's like really distraught. It's hard, obviously. Yeah, it's a sad thing. You pin a lot of hopes and dreams in this process and it's a long and difficult process and everything we've heard from our friends who've gone through it or people we've seen that's like an emotional rollercoaster that takes a toll. So she's really, she's like, oh, God, I thought this would be it. I thought I was over having to stick myself. They also thought they were going to be able to do it in one round, and now here they are going to another one, and another one fails.

38:50And King decides that this is a great time to be like, well, maybe, I don't know, maybe it's taking too much of a toll on you, and it's going to weigh on you, and football season's coming up, and I don't really want to miss the playoffs, so maybe we do something else. I was like, King, Yeah, he's like, you got to think about your mental health. Yeah, she's like sobbing right now. Maybe now's not the time. And so she cries more and she's like, so are you saying you don't want to do this? And he says, well, I'm not saying I don't want to, but let's be realistic. I'm okay with not having any more kids, but I decided to take this journey with you because I want to support you and do it for you.

39:28But it's a very expensive process. And she's like, we knew that. Don't throw that back in my face. And he's like, no, no. He's like, oh, no. I just, I knew it was expensive, but we thought we were going to get it done in one round. I was like, King, that would be nice, but I feel like it's also very optimistic. And so she's just like, she feels like shit. I feel like at this moment, he needs to be like, I've got you, I love you, I'm there for you. This is not the moment to have like, let's have a reality check when she's like very distraught about it. Like just be there for her emotionally and discuss this the next day.

40:04But instead he's like, well, maybe this is the end of the line for this process. And that's really not what she wants to hear. Yeah. And she's like, well, then why don't we just say that I'll just keep doing this and you won't have to spend another dime. And he's like, well, it's not about the money. And she's like, but you just brought up money. Yeah. After you took me to a family barbecue in a Ferrari, you brought up the money, by the way. And, but then he's like, well, take the money out of it. He basically says, take the money out of it. It's still like, there's the hormones, there's the travel time, Where does it end?

40:37Which is also kind of like, don't put the harm, like, don't throw the hormones back at her, you know? And, I mean, the travel time, I think, is fair. But I think that's where you say, why don't we move this process to America? Because it seems like we may have to do this for a few more rounds. And let's not add travel to the process. Yada, yada, yada. I don't know. Yeah, this sucks because she's going to be having a baby with someone who just doesn't seem to want to be having a baby. I mean, if you're having a baby with a guy who's like, I don't want a baby. Maybe I'm just doing this for you. I mean, I know that that probably happens in a lot of relationships where someone wants another one.

41:11The other person isn't that excited. And it's like the other person doesn't necessarily need to be vilified forever for not wanting a kid. Like, that's fair, too, that one doesn't want one as bad as the other. But I don't know, man. It's like you see how bad she wants this and your response is. I just think. Yeah, I just think it like the timing could be a little bit better on his part. She's really upset. And I think what you do is if, if, if this is how we genuinely feels, I think what you just say is we're going to, we'll figure something out. We'll figure something out. And then the next day or two, then you sort of come back to and be like, it broke my heart to see how upset you were.

41:49I don't want to see you upset. Like we can be happy without children, yada, yada. But like, I think right there in that moment to like force that conversation, not force it, but just to like have that conversation when really the, the, the energy should be about making sure the love of your life is feeling supported and loved and comforted so i don't i didn't like his timing on this yeah oh what a bummer well that's a great way to end the episode of course it was a shorter recap but this a lot of it was a family reunion it was just a lot of it was that family reunion of people just going back and forth and being like hi do you love your mom yeah i love my mom that's great you like mac and cheese i love mac and cheese yeah we really can't emphasize how how much air time is dedicated to people entering into this reunion i mean it was really a very long time i mean it's like and it was like and when it wasn't the reunion it was like little stevie and mimi is exhausted i'm like oh my god let's do 10 minutes on that making fun of them so it wasn't really an episode that was full of super funny moments but it was still actually an entertaining episode i actually enjoyed it you know i don't normally like these episodes where it's just like here's a slice of life and people having fun but um i actually enjoyed it i just didn't have anything to say about it yeah well fun times everybody thanks so much for being here um join us over on instagram to uh in the next weeks or so to help us get some crappies nominations going and we will talk to you next time.
