Key Themes & Discussion Points

1. Setting the Scene: In-Person Recording & South By Southwest

• Ben and Ronnie are together in Texas, recording in person after a South By Southwest weekend.
• Ben praises Ronnie's hospitality:

  “You always make it so inviting, and you always make me feel like such a guest you met. You're so inviting.” (02:11 – Ben)

2. The Season Finale: “The Meh Gala” Kicks Off

• Both hosts relieved the couple’s trip is over:

  “Notice how the show got instantly better once the couple's trip was over. I'm sorry.” (04:42 – Ben)

• Simone’s iconic yelling at her kids gets a nod as a highlight of the season, with both hosts wishing she’d stuck to her guns:

  “No apology necessary. Yell at him again.” (05:13 – Ronnie)

3. Early Episode Shenanigans: Family Scenes & Satire

• Toya’s family has a chicken tenders dinner as a “finale” scene, with Ben and Ronnie riffing on the mundanity:

  “What a way to open up the season finale too. Hey, what do you guys want for dinner? Chicken tenders. Wow.” (07:42 – Ben)

• Heavenly keeps her “foot right there” on Toya, and the hosts love the rivalry.

4. Jackie & Simone: Besties or Frenemies?

• The hosts lament the breakdown of Jackie and Simone’s friendship (11:19–14:06), highlighting Bravo’s tendency for manufactured drama and expressing real sadness when the “mom friends” feud:

  "I hate that so much. … When they were fighting sucked. It was terrible." (10:49–10:53 – Both)

5. Charity Planning Chaos: The Med Gala

• The gala is supposed to raise money for medical students, but event organization is a mess:
• Jackie is focused on “the integrity of the Met Gala” (19:13, 19:17), which cracks up the hosts:

  “We must protect the integrity of a gala that's name is a pun.” (19:22 – Ronnie)

• Toya’s management style is exclusionary, especially toward new cast members—leading to confusion and resentment:

  “Toya's being an asshole about it, you know, because she is being exclusionary to the new people.” (23:33 – Ben)

6. Real Housewives-Style Receipts, Group Chats & Accountability

• The group chat about the gala spirals; everyone wants transparency and receipts.
• Heavenly drops a Brene Brown quote:

  “Clear is kind. So if you're unclear, you're unkind. So, Toya, you've been Brene Brown.” (32:00 – Ben)

7. The Ticket Controversy: Who Pays to Attend?

• Mimi and Steve arrive sans tickets, sparking a heated, detailed debate about fundraising etiquette, invitations, and whether table guests should pay extra.
  • Eugene: “If they do [show up], unless they bought a ticket, they shouldn't be able to come.” (33:42)
  • Ben (debating with Ronnie):

    “I don't think that they should have been guilted into donating for what seemed like a very disorganized event. … When you show up to the event, like, you should buy a ticket.” (49:05 – Ben)

  • Amanda (via text, the fundraising expert):

    “If someone buys a table at a charity, the table is the ticket for everyone.”

• By the end, they exonerate Steve and Mimi—guests at Dr. Jackie’s table—from blame. The event’s organization is pronounced a “total Toya production. It’s a mess.” (58:10 – Ronnie)

8. Contessa, Ketamine, & Living Art

• Contessa (administering ketamine in an RV) and the “living art” theme get humorous scrutiny:

  “You know it's gonna be artsy because, you know—bad gala. Living art. Not sure.” (39:00 – Ronnie)
  “Not a lot of living art… Everyone here is just guard.” (55:15 – Ben)

9. Event Details & Chicken Wings at the Gala

• The hosts poke fun at chicken wings being gala fare:

  “You don't serve chicken wings. Like, people are gonna pay the money that matches the event.” (66:39 – Ben)

• Toya’s pride is mocked:

  “She goes, ‘I have receipts of everyone who contributed this far.’ … And the newbies bought tickets, but Mimi and Steve, they did nothing. … But that's because you iced them out.” (41:19 – Ben)

10. Final Apologies & Group Dynamics

• Curtis and Jackie attempt a clumsy apology to Quad and King, leading to more snark about “sinners” and moral judgment:

  “You are two of my favorite heathens, and I want nothing but the best for you guys before you go to hell.” (61:54 – Ben, satirizing Curtis)

• Heavenly’s “compliment” speech:

  “Toya, I would just like to say, you stupid bitch. You dumb, dumb bitch. You can't do one thing right. But this was nice. The party was nice to Toya's stupid. Right, everybody? But you did good, stupid person.” (65:53 – Ronnie as Heavenly)

Memorable Quotes & Moments

[B]

Hi.

[A]

Hi. We're in Texas for south by southwest. So Ben's at my house. What do you think?

[B]

Oh, my God. I love your house. Your house is so fun. But, you know, you're just. You always make it so inviting, and you always make me feel like such a guest you met. You're so inviting. Okay. No, for real. Ronnie always like, you built a house, man. He rolls out a red carpet every single time for me, and I'm always so you don't really.

[A]

He requires an egg sandwich. That's it. Yeah, Starbucks and an egg sandwich. The man's fine for days. It reminds me of this country song. So we went to this concert in south by Southwest of Not Miranda Lambert is Ella.

[B]

Ella. Ella Langley or something like that.

[A]

Yeah, Langley. She was good.

[B]

She was good, but she was this

[A]

country girl, and it was very country. She's like, y', all, I'm from a little town in the south. And I was like, woohoo. And it's like, yeah. And I read my bible every day. And we're like, woohoo. Shocking. This is a song about my dreams. I just want a man comes home after work and takes off dirty clothes.

[B]

She was literally. It was like, so stereotypical. She was like, I sit on the porch. I got supper on the stove. My man comes home and takes off his work clothes. And I was like, yes. And she had Jamila Jamil bangs, which I really enjoyed.

[A]

And I thought she looked like Shannon Doherty. But then I closed up on my phone and she didn't.

[B]

No, but we're going to. We have actually so many stories from our weekend at south by Southwest that we'll tell you all on this week's bonus episode. But, yeah, we were there this morning, but we came back because you know what? There's podcasting that needs to be done. We came back here to recap Married to Medicine. And then we're going to go after this is done, we will go back down to south by Southwest and we are going to the I Heart Awards. And you should all tune in because you can watch it on the Internet. And I will get that. I will get to.

[A]

You go to Instagram. It's @veeps v e p S. And then you go to the link in their bio and it'll say on their website, oh, really? Yeah.

[B]

Oh, great.

[A]

My dad, because he's like, how do I watch on the Instagram?

[B]

Yeah, so watch it tonight. Hopefully we win the award tonight. We're nominated for best TV and film. And there's other great, great podcasts in that category, like the rewatchables and how did this get made? And I don't have the list up, but they're all, like, legit and very cool podcasts. So, you know, whoever, like, whoever wins, it's awesome.

[A]

You know, whatever. We don't need to retire.

[B]

Glad to be there.

[A]

Yeah, we've been. This has been a weekend. It's been so fun. All right, let's get to it. Because basically the same thing as an award show. It's med gala time.

[B]

Ah, the season finale.

[A]

Season finale.

[B]

What a time to be alive. What a time to be enjoying Married to medicine. Listen, I'm grateful the couple's trip is over and that's all I could ask for. Notice how the show got instantly better once the couple's trip was over. I'm sorry. I mean, not like this was like. I mean, not like this was the most amazing season finale, but it was certainly better than the past three episodes of the show, that's for sure.

[A]

Then the Med Gula. Okay, here we go. Met Gala Season 12, Episode 14 Met Gala Mishaps so we get some. Previously on the Seasons. You know, Simone yelling at her kids. That was the best part for me. Simone telling off her family. I loved it. We watched that scene every day. And actually this one, we see Simone, like bend and kind of apologize, and I did not like that. No, no apology necessary. Yell at him again. You're having a back over. I mean, that must be so frank. It made me want to have kids just to yell at him like that.

[B]

What a joy. What a joy she must have had in that moment. It was sad to see her, you know, be so you know, I guess quote unquote motherly and like hugging her sons. I'm like, no, no, you know, you can hug them. Just make sure that, that you. You're not funding that car. Okay.

[A]

Yeah, that Tesla. I wonder if it's a self driving Tesla.

[B]

Speaking of Tesla's, now we go to Contessa, also known as Contessa. That would have been, you know, if contest it didn't work out as a, as a, as a taunt. You know, Contessa could have been a fun one.

[A]

She's good, but she's not great for long distances.

[B]

She's always reinventing her, her hand or door handles. So we are seeing like scenes from around Atlanta and Contessa is administering ketamine in the back of an RV or something to some lady her mob hospital.

[A]

Yeah, that's how I would be a doctor. I'd be like, okay, let me open my trunk.

[B]

Hey, what'd you do today? Well, I went into Dr. Contessa's RV, you know, from, you know, from TV. I went to the TV doctor's RV and then I got some ketamine and revisited my childhood.

[A]

Yeah, I feel like ketamine. You don't want to be doing that in an rv. Yeah, right. Don't you want like a nice bed or like a really nice chair or something?

[B]

That would be one thing.

[A]

It's like, all right, curl up and get in my trunk. We're gonna put some ketamine into you. See how this goes? So they put it in the fat in your belly. Let me tell you, the fat in our bellies is taking a lot these days. I take so many shots now, I don't even think I feel my stomach anymore. Just really pinch it. Shove a needle in there. Got the GLP wound. Got the. I take this one that's supposed to be making me younger. It's not working. Meanwhile, it's like killing all feeling in my belly button.

[B]

You know what I. You know what I inject into my stomach? Supper on the stove. And my mind coming home and his work clothes needs a simple life.

[A]

So Ch is home with her family and she's like, I'm going to make some dinner tonight. Do you have anything you want particularly? They're like, whatever. Just something in one of the green eggs, please. So they're going to have chicken tenders and fries. What a night.

[B]

What a way to open up the season finale too. Hey, what do you guys want for dinner? Chicken tenders. Wow. Just keep.

[A]

You're not going to see us for Another year, guys.

[B]

Just keep it coming.

[A]

Toya, we're going to miss you. Can you do a chicken tender scene?

[B]

Can we just show some of the dilemmas this family's been facing lately? Chicken tenders or chicken nuggets, what will it be?

[A]

Eugene's yelling at the chicken tenders. He's like, respect my wife.

[B]

Well, honestly, we really should have, like, taken a moment to appreciate the scene because it will be the last time we see this house because, you know, it's the end of the season.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So beautiful house. House. This was one of. One of her most beautiful houses. And good luck to the next owner or renter.

[A]

Well, it's season 14.

[B]

What is 12?

[A]

No, 12. So that's probably 11 houses, right? Yeah, probably 11.

[B]

Probably. So, Toya, Yeah, for you. Good for you. Who cares about equity?

[A]

You know, I wouldn't ask Toy a ton of advice, but I would ask her, like, do you know any good movers? So I feel like she would know the best movers by now. She's got.

[B]

She's got that down, you know. You know what she'd be great at? Committing a crime and then going on the run because she knows how to pick up and move. You know, I kind of like to think that Toya is like just a. A very regional criminal in that. That she has. Like, she's not. Like, the mob is after her, so she keeps on moving, but it's a regional mob, so she just has to move around Atlanta. She doesn't have to move around the states. She's. She's regionally wanted by. By nefarious characters.

[A]

It was like a cul de sac crime.

[B]

It's like, well, they found us again. Gotta move to a new neighborhood. Should we move out of the state? Nah,

[A]

they're very slow. They're regional. They're regional mobsters on bikes. It just takes them a really long time to get anywhere.

[B]

Part of the tennis group that she was in.

[A]

So over at Heavenly Damon's, we're getting to see what their emptiness is looking like. Because she's like, go wash your hands. And he's like, mommy, you didn't need to tell me to wash my hands, baby. She's like, go wash your funky ass hands.

[B]

Do not.

[A]

I'm gonna talk to you like Toya talks to Eugene. Eat your ass up, stupid. Okay, okay.

[B]

I do. I do like that she's telling the doctor to wash his hands. Like, he doesn't do it 45 times a day, an hour.

[A]

But she just wanted to get in it. She's like, for my scene, they're like, do you want to do a chicken tender scene? We've already got one. And she's like, no, I want it. Yell at my husband. And then say, Toya emotionally abuses her husband. Heavenly will always be standing on Toya's neck. She keeps her foot right there.

[B]

Jackie and Simone, who, by the way, apparently things are not good between them because in the trailer for the reunion coming up, Simone is like, jackie, we will never be friends again. We are never getting back together. It is over. Jackie. And I don't know why, but I hate when they fight.

[A]

No, it has to be, at best, Heavenly. Right?

[B]

Well, I'm sure. I'm sure it's because Jackie probably is supportive of Heavenly that Simone doesn't like Jackie anymore. I hate when Simone and Jackie fight.

[A]

I do, too.

[B]

I hate that so much.

[A]

When they were fighting sucked. It was terrible.

[B]

So Jack. But right now they're not fighting. So they meet up, and Jackie has her wicked glasses on and they meet at that park bench that they love to meet at. And she's like, oh, I'm tired. I don't think anybody in this group understands what it is to go away. There. You put the camera thing over the text.

[A]

I'm sorry. I was adjusting the camera because I felt like my boob fold. I was like, I had a boob fold in camera, so I was moving the camera. Sorry. It's more important than the notes.

[B]

I know. So she's like. And this is a very important line to read. She's like, you know, I think the group understands. I think. I don't think anyone in the group understands what is to go away on a trip and come back and have work. To work so hard. It's almost like a punishment to go on a trip and then a punishment to come back. But you know what? Enough about work, okay?

[A]

Toya and Eugene did a wonderful job, but now our. Our couple's trip was very different. We didn't have people going off on their own and men going off on their own, women going off on their own. And I had to ask Cecil what happened. Pride out of him. And he said, well, your husband. Your husband. Jackie gave King the business, and she's like, girl, girl.

[B]

And he told him, your house is not in order. Maybe that's why you haven't been able

[A]

to have a baby yet.

[B]

So Jackie's like, I had not heard anything until we were on our way back to the airport when I heard Curtis and Steve talking about Curtis saying that. Do you think I offended King. And that's when I said, you know what? I'm like, baby, I always stand by you, Jackie. You don't have to tell us you stand by him. That's for sure.

[A]

Giving.

[B]

And she's basically like, yeah, I'll tell you when you're wrong. But like, she's basically like, yeah, you were very wrong. Okay. And by the way, our house is in order, and we didn't get pregnant. And that's not because our house wasn't in order, Curtis. Which is a great point, Jackie. Thank you for bringing that.

[A]

Not really, because Curtis has been cheating all the time, probably. So that's. So I guess that would go. I guess that would go with Curtis's sinners don't have babies storyline. Although, do you have TLC or, like, any channel with people with children? A lot of sinners have children all the time. You've been to a food court.

[B]

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I think there are a lot of houses that are not in order that have produced way too many babies.

[A]

Yeah. Only good people can have babies. Did you do your homework last night? Hope so. Otherwise you're probably going to be barren, so. Curtis is such an asshole. I can't. So Jackie's like, well, once I was able to explain it, he went, oh, no, he didn't. You know, Curtis was like, I have my beliefs, and I'm. No one can argue with me about the Bible. It's right there in black and white, Jackie. But she just said. He went, oh, have you talked about. The conversation would be like, next you time. Next time you have to see quad, like, at the Met gala, for instance.

[B]

And Jackie's like, oh, absolutely. I texted Quad and I said, I understand that there was conversation that I was. I personally want to apologize for. And Curtis and I would like to meet with you.

[A]

Oh, for Christ's sake. Isn't it bad enough your husband's an asshole? Now I have to give you another night of my time to go have dinner with them? No.

[B]

Yeah, I know.

[A]

Want to sit there and have dinner with someone who just told me I can't have a baby because I'm a sinner.

[B]

I know. Seriously. By the way, I want to clarify something, because I just said before that there were too many. Too many households that were out of order. Like, too many babies came from households that are out of order. I'm not saying, like, oh, no, there's like, we need to have more babies from households that are in order. I'm saying there's too many. Too many children in general. I'm saying whether they're in order or not in order. Because I know someone's gonna be like, you are being so judgy. You are being so judgy to say. To imply that there are too many households that are not in order, that are producing children, that they can only come from good households. No, I just think there's too many. You go to food court, there's too many children.

[A]

There's just too many.

[B]

And they're just too many idiots who just don't seem to know how to raise their kids, you know? You know, people just. People are just. People are awful, and sometimes they just don't need to reproduce.

[A]

If you see a poster that sucks, do Xerox that poster. No, Xerox. The good things. Don't. Don't just be like, hey, you know what? I look like Barney Rebel, and I've got the personality of a tuna fish can. I'm gonna have a baby. No. Someone needs to tell you, you're. You're good enough. We want you reproduced. You know?

[B]

You know, do you. If you bring your car to the mechanic and then there's no one there working the shop and someone comes jogging by and like, oh, I'll take care of it. I'll, like, let me get under that car. Are you gonna be like, sure, get under that car. Like, no, I don't want you to do that because this is not your skill set. The point is, not everyone needs to be a mechanic. Everyone needs to be a parent, including us.

[A]

By the way, for those of you who feel judged, we judged ourselves and we judged ourselves unworthy to be parents.

[B]

It's actually a fun. You see, if you don't have children, you get the added perk of being judgy about those who do have children, and you get to speak out of your ass about it. And that's so fun for us.

[A]

It is fun.

[B]

It's great.

[A]

It feels really good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I met a girl yesterday, and she goes, oh, I just had a baby. And I said, congratulations. Why? She was like, okay, Good to meet you. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappens commercial.

So we're still talking about Curtis and how that's going to go with quad and king. So Jack is like, oh gosh, do we, do we need a prayer service that's going to turn out like we want it to? No, we don't need a prayer service. About this. Curtis needs. We don't need prayer services. And Curtis in any more sentences.

[B]

No, we don't. We don't. So Jackie's like, okay, so by the way, I just got out of surgery and girl, did you see a hundred something text messages. We've got to protect the integrity of the original Met gala, a gala that was designed to be featured on reality television. We must protect the sanctity of it.

[A]

The integrity of the Met Gala.

[B]

The Met Gala. The integrity of a gala. That's name is a pun.

[A]

Traditionally, we put this together in three days. We need to protect the integrity. I told Toya it was gonna go left with that, with her saying, we are the founders, because apparently Toya is just making everything. Here's the founders of the Med Gala. B and B and a green egg. And everyone's like, excuse me. So Simone's like, well, during the text thread, she talked about correcting that she had a picture of the two of you that she took down. But then she refused to add Brandy and Mimi. Brandy, Mimi, Angel. But she still wanted them to donate to the scholarship fund. And now, you know, you have to get people on your team, and that's just not how to do it.

[B]

We've decided that we're gonna give money to medical students and who are going to medical school as opposed to medical students who are going to law school.

[A]

We're giving this to medical students who learn on YouTube.

[B]

We're giving these to medical students who are joining the cast of Vanderpumpfila and can't quite afford all the debt.

[A]

Medical students of the oboe.

[B]

Medical students who are joining a conservatory in Austria to learn oboe and the catalog of Shubert. So oboe.

[A]

Schubert. Can I get Schubert? Only need the oboe section. Sorry. Books and books of it.

[B]

We've got kids. We've got kids, too.

[A]

We've got unzeroxible children. Over here on ot.

[B]

There is a school of thought that you. The only way you can heal people is through beautiful obo interpreted music of classical masters.

[A]

So, yeah, Toya's. Toria's diving out now. This is a nice what they're doing to the new girls, you know, and also, no one has even mentioned that Jackie stole that girl's business. Why has nobody said anything? Jackie stole that Scrubs business from Brandy. She stole it.

[B]

Well, because Brandy didn't say she. No, no, not from Brandon's. From Angel.

[A]

From Angel.

[B]

Well, you know what?

[A]

And then you're gonna keep her out of the Med Gala, too.

[B]

I don't. Apparently, Jackie doesn't want no scrubs.

[A]

Scrubs for thin people.

[B]

Scrubs are the new it. You know, someone should complain about, you know, the reboot of Scrubs that's happening right now. Did anyone ask angel about that? I don't think so. I'll move on.

[A]

Did you see on that podcast, they were saying, oh, we know a celebrity who has been dating an ap AI person. And it turned out to be Zach Braff. So everybody all week's been like, zach Braff, you pervert. You're dating a robot. And he had to come out and make a public statement. He was like, I don't know where this rumor came from, but I'm not dating an AI. And I think it's a storyline on Scrubs, So maybe that's where they got it.

[B]

But calm down, Internet women throw themselves at him. I. I worked on a. I worked on a project with him once.

[A]

I know. That's why I was surprised. I figured you would have heard it.

[B]

No, but, like, girls, it was just like, they love him. He's a very nice man, I have to say, so. Zach Braff. What a gent. Anywho, AI. AI, let me tell you something. AI girlfriend might be more interesting than this episode. So, Jackie. Jackie is.

[A]

What will we do about the Met Gala?

[B]

We must preserve the integrity of the Met Gala. That wasn't totally undermined by putting toy. The moment you say we're having Toya run the Met Gala is the moment that you have now lost all the integrity for the Met Gala. By the way, it's too late now. The ship has sailed. Yeah.

[A]

Bless her heart. The med gala. We are holding a Met Gala to get bus money for children going to school. I was like, what are you raising? Okay, let's add up the money. If they paid 2500 each, who paid it? Jackie? I. Simone. Heavenly Quad. Is that it?

[B]

Toya Contessa. There are plenty of people. They're all the husband. They're the husbands. Each.

[A]

But I think It's a couple. 2500. A couple, right. So if that's six, then that's $3,000.

[B]

Look, I think. I think actually, believe it or not, the heart of this is really good. I think anytime you're raising money for charity, and I think helping med students, it's great. It's great. It's all great. But Toya's being an asshole about it, you know, because she is being exclusionary to the new people. And you can't just guilt people. I mean, I know. I think Toya thinks, like, if they don't donate, then we're going. Like, we are going to ostracize them. Because how could they be unmarried to medicine and not donate to these med school funds? And the answer is easy. They'll just donate that same money somewhere else at a protest of your charity. And I think that Toya is not going about this the right way.

[A]

You're hurting the Children.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So Jackie is talking about how they're going to give this to the kids. And Simone's like, well, you have to figure out how to be inclusive. There would be no reason that she could not get Mimi and Steve's full financial support. They gave $5,000 last year for a damn bowl. And she's like, oh, my God, that's an ashtray. It was terrible. I felt Those idiots paid $5,000 for an ashtray.

[B]

With this administration and the times that we're in, we need it more than ever before. And I think Toya came up with a great idea. So, you know, let's definitely give back and pull forward, but there is nothing you can do. When Toya makes up her mind that she's gonna do something. Oh, go. That's why I thought it was a great decision to put her in charge of this gala.

[A]

Yeah. So Mimi is making dinner at home. It's dinner Mimi. And they're talking. She's like, did you put sugar in your spaghetti? And he's like, what are you doing over there, kids? Just pouring sugar in there. I think people do put sugar in their spaghetti sauce.

[B]

Some people. There's some tomato sauces that are a little sweet, but I don't think it should be like that. I, I, I don't think tomato sauce should be unless it's naturally sweet. Like if the tomatoes you use or have sweetness about them. But no, don't put sugar in your tomato sauce. People don't do that.

[A]

Yeah. She's like, I'm over here doing what a stereotypical wife does. He's like, that's not fair. She goes, well, not for me either. But you know what? I'll cook more for us when we get to our new home. Start talking about their new home and their big kitchen and all of that stuff that they're going to have.

[B]

And then Stevie's been in speech therapy, and that has actually really helped him a lot with, you know, his behavior and etc. That's been really good. And now it's time to put. It's just they, it's. It's like a nice scene where they.

[A]

By the way, you can't see what I'm doing. I'm fast forwarding through this. I'm scrolling right through it. Ben's trying to read it.

[B]

No, there's no.

[A]

Bored. Bored with your child rearing? I'm bored with it.

[B]

There's nothing more to add. I, no, I actually think that their child rearing is actually pretty fascinating. But, like, there was just Nothing. There's nothing to add to it there. I mean, it was just that they're gonna be moving into a new home, and he's in little Stevie's doing.

[A]

I need to be interest. Interested in it. You know, like, put your kid in tap class, then I'll watch. So 48 hours until the med gala. The Harris family, they're getting into Eugene's new workspace. Guys, she's like, my baby has a real office. Y' all, forget that closet, okay?

[B]

The great thing about this new office is that it's very close to a home for right now. So my baby is going to make. Guess what? Fast forward to next season. Well, congratulations. We have a new house. But on the downside, Eugene's an hour away from his new office, so we gotta find a new office for him again this season.

[A]

We got ud the new office 10 hours from the house.

[B]

I feel like he's always looking for, like, an office or something like that. It's always like, oh, no mad MD or oh, I need an office, or, oh, I'm.

[A]

He is changing his job a lot.

[B]

It's just like, I think because he's

[A]

always having to keep up with Toya. He's always having to keep looking because he's got. He's got to keep up with that Toya spending.

[B]

There's some mismanagement happening sitting there, and their kids are so. They have this two sweet kids who seem to be totally unfazed by their chaotic parents. And they're just sitting there, these just nice guys. And so toy's like, y' all go back and get the rest of the stuff from the truck. Did you guys enjoy the chicken tenders last night, by the way? Thank you. Yes, Mom.

[A]

Good, because that was. That was a finale story. So you did stop picking your face. And he's like, God, you're a bossy mo. I'm not. But you're picking your face. Okay, listen, I've been. I've been doing the med gala. I've been talking with the ladies since 7am Toya, please do not compare being bitchy in a tech a group text for five hours to this man who works at 10 different emergency rooms around the country. I don't even think it's the state. She's a regional mobster. But that is a national emergency room, man.

[B]

He's like.

[A]

He's like, I'll be right back. I hope I get back in time for the med gala. I'll be in Alaska.

[B]

Heavenly FaceTimes with Mimi. And she's like, Toya's being difficult. She's being an ass. There's a lot going on in these chats and these checks and stuff and what's going on with that? And Mimi's like, it's a lot going up in here. This is FaceTime, Mimi. And if you're gonna file a 501C3, y' all supposed to have board meetings and voting board members and supposed to be voted on a budget. You're supposed to have subcommittees and finance and event planning and scholarship committees. You know. You know that when Toya saw this back, she's like, oh, what? Talk about, why do we need to have a committee about sandwiches? Who needs a subcommittee's in charge of that.

[A]

No, we don't have any of that, baby. We don't have any of that. Now, I'm not accusing her of anything, but anytime there's a question like, there's nothing wrong with you, you. There's nothing wrong with when you gave money for asking for transparency. Where did my money go? And then we cut to Toya, and she's like, I was so open. I wanted to have that moment. I mean, I. I had a meeting about a tuna sandwich.

[B]

I bet that will disresp. I was shut down. I'm like, no, that was. I think Eugene hearing it from you. So Eugene's like, you were actually in Jamaica with everybody, sat down to try to tell them, hey, this is what I'm doing. And then they cuss you out. And we see flashbacks, but I love

[A]

that the flashback is heavily shut the fuck up. Eugene's like, you were cussed out. And it just. Cussed to her, cussing people out.

[B]

I told them this was a scholarship opportunity. I said, anybody that we've collected via second sales is going to go towards scholarship. You're really going there.

[A]

Well, you're full on Marlon Brando right now.

[B]

You would. Look, we could go regional mobs. I got chicken tender. I got a chicken tender in my throat, and the regional mob is coming after me. We don't have much time, Eugene. We got to put on this gal. Then go the regional mob. Okay? You would think that. You would think that. Be like, oh, my God, good job. Nobody. None of that. Nobody ever said that. Hey, to, can I consult with you where I'm going to go go space for this event. Not one consult.

[A]

She's so full of it. Everybody offered to help, and she wouldn't let anybody help. And then she kept putting her own name on the website. She's like, I did the website. So she's like, mimi literally said she helped and found an organization on Morehouse. So why. Why wasn't she helping me? And so we see the group chat, a little of this group chat, which. They should release this as a book because I would buy it. Yeah, I love this. Quad's like, toya, please give the people documentation asap. Evelyn's like, you have taken us to a new low, Toya.

[B]

And contest is like, we have begged you for info and help. And then some guy was like, we know where you live now. We're coming to you. And just, oh, gotta sell the house.

[A]

Gotta go two streets over. Hold on. Well, I have a problem with the leadership. And that's what you said, and that's what I agree with. And Mimi's like, exactly. I have a problem with the leadership. I really do. Where's my 401C3 or 501C3?

[B]

And hell, he's doing that thing in confessional where she's propped up on the arms of her chair and her elbow's out. She's always doing it like, she's like, just climbing out of a dunk tank. She's like, okay, everyone, I'm back. She's like. She's like, I have a problem with leadership. That's what you said. That's what I agree with. I cannot do a falsetto today. For the life of me, I'm like,

[A]

so, you know, Heavenly goes off at the lack of transparency.

[B]

How dare you?

[A]

And she says, that's just how toy is, though. Somebody that does not communicate is not transparent and is not good at business. And then she gives her business lady look where she squints her eyes and, like, purses her lips.

[B]

She's like, by the way, last night we went to. We went to a cocktail party, and Brene Brown was there, and she addressed the crowd. And one thing that she said was she talked about communication, and she said. Said clear is kind. So if you're unclear, you're unkind. So, Toya, you've been Brene Brown.

[A]

You just got Brene Brown. Does Renee Brown look depressed? I feel like she gives off a very depressed vibe. Like, she's sad.

[B]

Yeah, well, she probably maybe. Well, she said that the highlight of her day was receiving a text from her adult children. So that's actually feels a little sad. That is sad, because I feel like it should be like, oh, great, the kids are out of the house. I can play tennis. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Or just, like, getting a text from your kids. I don't get a life.

[B]

We're really a life. Brene Brown, she was so inspiring. She was great in her. Like, she said three things and like, we're all like, oh, my God, she's great.

[A]

Yeah. Because everyone else's answers, like, everyone had to go through and give an answer. And everyone's like giving these really long winded, you know, like, intelligent, quote unquote answers. And then it got to her. She's like, I mean, clear as kind of unclear is unkind. And everyone's like, just drops the mic and walks off. I'm waiting for a text from my adult children. Sorry, I'll be over here in the corner. Okay, so they're complaining about leadership and. Okay, so back with Tori and Eugene. Eugene's like, well, you know, hopefully the people that aren't supporting my wife don't show up. And if they do, unless they bought a ticket, they shouldn't be able to come. You can't control what they're going to do. You can only control what you're going to do. Usually people say that, like, if somebody goes low, you're gonna go high. Like, you can't control them being mean. You can only control your own kindness. Right.

[B]

Well, I think it's more.

[A]

And he's like, you can't control it. All you can control is whether they get in or not. So keep them out.

[B]

I don't think it's about when they go low, they go high. It's more like, don't let people upset you. You. It's more like, you can't. You're not supposed to say, you made me so mad. It's like, no, you made yourself mad. You can't. Unless, like, no, I guess that's more about, you only control your own thing, but you can't control other people. So just focus on yourself.

[A]

No, I get that, but he's. He's saying you can't control other people. How other people act. All you can control is how you act. So let's. Let's kick them out of the thing. You see, it just. It's like, what the.

[B]

So that's.

[A]

It's usually a positive thing, but it's not with Eugene. Although we're gonna disagree on this. I already know.

[B]

But I'll wait. I'll wait.

[A]

I'll give it time on kicking them on not letting them in if they

[B]

didn't buy a ticket, I'll be interesting. I'm excited to hear what you have to say about that.

[A]

Just give us another five hours. We'll get there.

[B]

We'll also check in with Brene Brown, to see where she stands on ticket sales.

[A]

She's like, buy a ticket, you have a ticket. If you don't buy a ticket, you don't have a ticket. Oh, my God. You're amazing. Yes, Great.

[B]

Buy a ticket to life.

[A]

So now we go to Simone's house. The kids are coming back, and no one's been there since her blowup. So they're like, oh, my God, I have ptsd. Mom. Mom. Oh, God.

[B]

They really do. They're like. They even remember where they were sitting. They're like, I'm not gonna sit in that chair. That, like, it was like, this was the code that made mom go crazy. So I'm gonna sit over here, and Mom's gonna sit there. We're gonna change it up. So they sit there. And the good news is that the kids didn't make the food this time. This time, they did not heat up restaurant pasta in a metal tray in which they never took the label off of it in the oven.

[A]

We're lucky the house didn't blow up.

[B]

I know. Seriously. So they. They all come in, and Simone's like, you know, I've talked to your dad numerous times, some of which have been unpleasant. And he's like, very unpleasant.

[A]

Very unpleasantly terrifying.

[B]

More terrifying than the prospect of getting a job, I'll tell you that much.

[A]

But I owe you an apology for saying, fuck you, and I'm done with you. Oh, my God. What, are we giving up all our rights of a mother now? Yeah, it's the point of even being a mom if you can't tell your kids fuck off stuff.

[B]

But last time we were here, I felt extremely disrespected by Michael. And, you know, Miles was like, yes, I'm the Michael.

[A]

Yeah, well, it was Michael. It was my little. He's like, I'm not doing any. You're rich. Pay for my school. So he's like, okay, well, I apologize for cursing. And just, I guess my overall tone and attitude. I think it would help if I have a car that when I turned it on, I couldn't tell if it was on because there's no engine noise.

[B]

So Simone's like, yes. And then Cecil goes, let him finish. And she's like, you didn't say anything that night. So I'm just gonna keep that same energy because your dad did not have my back last night. She's basically like, don't you dare tell him to let him finish. Like, no, it's me. It's me that you're supposed to be on the side of this time. Don't you remember that?

[A]

And Cecil's like, now, let me just say this. I was wrong, and I was wrong, and I didn't step up for your mom when she was hurting, and that's not ever gonna happen again, honey.

[B]

That's right. You dug a hole and put your ass in it. Tesla in it for me?

[A]

No. So he's like, you know, mom, I just want to be. I just want to go to school so I can be rich one day, and then I can, like, buy you guys stuff and take you to dinner. Mom, that's really all it's about. I just want good education so I can buy you stuff. And she's like, oh, okay. Well, that's all we've ever wanted, was for you to lock in.

[B]

Yeah. He's like, like, mom, you know, when I ask for all this stuff, you know, I don't want to just keep on asking. Of course I want to do things better. I want to lock. We're. We're going to lock in. That's all. And she's like, that's all I wanted is for you to make an empty promise of locking in.

[A]

You used a good term. Used a good term for a parental talk. I'm going to lock in.

[B]

Lock in.

[A]

So Cecil's like, you got to give Michael credit. He'll always find a way. And I think his way is kissing his mom's butt and apologizing so he gets that money. And so I guess technically, that's a way. Way.

[B]

That is a way.

[A]

So they all make nice with each other, and Simone says she wants a year off, and she wants to live off her severance. So then we go to the med gala day, and. Is it Sinclair?

[B]

Okay, Sinclair.

[A]

Huge broadcasting network.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Dedicated to a woman named Claire who sinned like hell and didn't have a baby.

[A]

That's a consequence.

[B]

Her house was not in order, and therefore they're just doing this to trigger Curtis.

[A]

You have to come to a place called sin. A woman who stints Sinclair.

[B]

So this is like a standard Atlanta thing, where it's like an event space, but it's also part of, like, a strip mall, but it was actually really cute. And so they went in there. It's like an art gallery and everything. And Toya is like, you know, she's like, oh, Eugene, look, we're in an art gallery. And look, all the art here is from Karima's art gallery. So the idea is that they're bringing artists in, and this is going to Be like, live art. The theme is art. The everything is about art. They're supposed to wear living art. And you know it's gonna be artsy because, you know, bad gal.

[A]

Living art.

[B]

Not sure.

[A]

All right, everybody. Tonight's theme.

[B]

Dead art.

[A]

I just want to see dead art. So she's like, we're gonna have faces painted it. So Contessa comes in and. Oh, no. She's getting ready. And she's like, oh, my God. Whose mom looks like this? Did your mom look like this? I look amazing. Your mom never looked like this. And he's like, no. Good Lord, you're so hot, baby. And so they're trying to figure out what to wear. She doesn't want her boobs popping out. And he's like, well, she is living art. But the cons are she might become unraveled like a mummy. And that dress.

[B]

There's not a lot of correlation between those two concepts. Unless you're talking about the general collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Maybe. I don't know.

[A]

Have you seen the mummy? It is art. It is art.

[B]

The mummy is art. I guess there are things that you would find in museum. I'll take things you can find in a museum for 200, Alex, please. So Contessa is just. She's like, you know. Less than 48 hours ago is when Toya disclosed the actual address of the Metcalfe the Med Gal. They only got the address for this gala two days ago. That's crazy.

[A]

How are you gonna raise money if nobody is coming to this thing? You have to have the people come to the thing. Toya.

[B]

Well, it was gonna be somewhere else, but I heard that the regional mob was in town, so we had a last minute.

[A]

So Tori is like, oh, I'm gonna pat myself on the back because we pulled off $10,000 dollars in ticket sales. And so to give $5,000 away each, that's phenomenal. You can't beat that. You can beat it, but it's still nice. It's definitely beatable.

[B]

You could very specifically beat that number. It's. Listen, you never get $10,000 for charity is great, but, like, act toya big. Like, $10,000? Well. So. Well, look, look, you know, at least I think she did better. Remember, I'll always remember season one of Atlanta with desean Snow had, like, a trunk show. And she's like, my goal is to raise $1 million tonight.

[A]

Yeah. And they're like, you, congratulations, you raised $12. And she's like, oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed. But I had this in my living room. How could people not donate a million dollars?

[B]

So Toya is very happy and about raising $10,000, and she goes, I have receipts of everyone who contributed this far. And the Core paid $2,500 each, which was the deciding number that would pay for pretty much the gal itself. And the newbies bought tickets, but Mimi and Steve, they did nothing. I'm like, yes, but. But that's because you iced them out. That's why they did nothing. Okay, so Toya.

[A]

So they spent 15 that way. 6. What is wrong with me? They spent. How much is so stupid.

[B]

The point is every household. Yeah.

[A]

So two, four. So that's 10,000, and then five, six. That would be 15,000. So my point is, they spent $15,000 on a party, but then they're going to give $10,000 to the charity. I don't. And that's how a lot of those charities work. You know, I used to do catering for those in New York, and they were these big, huge balls. I mean, people would come in ball gowns, and there's just money dripping, you know, like ballet dances and then gorgeous, tuxedoed people bringing, you know, synchronized service. And it was this whole expensive affair. And then it's like, how much did you get by the starving people?

[B]

But, you know, a lot of stuff is donated. That's that. The whole point is that you're trying to get people to donate, like, free services for these things so that way you can give more. So if wa. So the number of couples you have. Jackie, Simone, Toya, quad.

[A]

Contessa.

[B]

Contessa. So already right.

[A]

One more. Heavenly.

[B]

Heavenly. So that's six out of six.

[A]

So that's 3:30,000. But I mean, that's 15,000 bucks, right?

[B]

Well, six times five is $30,000. Unless it's by. Unless each household is only paying $2500, I think.

[A]

2500.

[B]

Yeah. No, you're right. It's. It's a little upside down.

[A]

Yeah. Because I'm like, why didn't you just give the.

[B]

I. I don't know anything about charity fundraising, but, like, mine have the ball.

[A]

Like, in other words, if they didn and they just all put in that much money, they would have given more money to the scholarship than they did by having the ball and then giving them the $10,000.

[B]

My. Like, as someone who does not know about charitable giving, and I'm sure we're going to hear it from Amanda on our team, who does work in this space that, like, I think, like, I Don't think that you have lost leaders with charitable giving. I feel like you. You want, like, not to take a loss, right? You want to, like, be able to donate. But maybe the idea is like, okay, we put in. We put in this to raise the profile of the event on tv. So that way next year we get more for donations. So there could be some strategy behind it that's giving Toya a lot. A big benefit of the doubt,

[A]

A better help ad.

[B]

Hold on one second. I just need to. What if you had a room where no one interrupts, no notifications, no expectations,

[A]

just space to talk with.

[B]

BetterHelp therapy happens in a space that's yours.

[A]

Visit betterhelp.com randompodcast for 10% off your

[B]

first month of online therapy.

[A]

So Eugene's like. I'm like, whatever. So Eugene loves the.

[B]

Brought it up.

[A]

No, no, I'm not whatevering you. I'm whatevering the whole. I'm saying that's concept.

[B]

I love that you're like, but what about this thing? Whatever.

[A]

I start the conversation. I'm like, why are we talking about this? No, I don't feel like that. I'm just still mad because I feel like that 15 grand, you could have just given the kids the money and saved us all some time. But. So then Toria's like, yeah, she says she has all the receipts. She said, oh, my God, I almost invited Phaedra. I did. I almost invited her. But then I would have had to fight a couple of exes to invite two to make it really uncomfortable. So. And Contessa. Back to Contessa. She's like, oh, my God, I'm so stressed out. You know, no one knows what's going on. And Toya won't tell us. And she just said she wanted our money, you know, and she just wanted to put her mark on it. And, you know, you can be my minions, but this is my thing, so that's where we are.

[B]

By the way. What? Did she get any, like, corporate sponsors? Did you get, like.

[A]

Not that. Not that they showed. I mean, I feel like that's part of it too.

[B]

You get corporate sponsors together in a week.

[A]

Yeah. So, no, I don't think they've got sponsors or there.

[B]

I guarantee there was some company in Atlanta like Coca Cola or Delta or, like, honestly, doesn't even have to be a big corporation like that. Who could match $10,000?

[A]

Oh, yeah, do the match.

[B]

Like, someone's got to match that.

[A]

Okay, so then we go to Curtis and Jackie. They're on their way. And they're like, oh, we're gonna see some fireworks. And then we go over to Steve and Mimi and they're like, oh, my gosh, how are you feeling about it? She's like, well, I was chosen to be the chairwoman. Chairwoman Mimi. But, you know, that takes skills and it takes willingness. And he's like, that's leadership, honey. And Mimi's, like, led. I don't think so.

[B]

Yeah. So they get into.

[A]

I like seeing an activated Mimi, though. It's nice. It's taken a couple of years, but it's nice to see you. Like, fuck this and fuck that lady, too.

[B]

I really like Mimi a lot, to be honest. And I like Steve a lot, too. So, to Toya's credit, the room actually does look really nice. It looks like a very nice function. And it's, like, all pretty. And there's art up, and Jackie and Curtis show up and they like the way it looks. And then Simone and Cecil arrive, and then she's says they're just joking, saying hi and everything and saying that. That. That Eugene looks like he's went. Looks like he's in the Fresh Prince because he's, like, wearing his blazer inside out. So, like, the lining is showing or something like that. Because he's trying to be artsy, I think so.

[A]

Then Mimi and Steve arrive, but they don't have tickets. So the staff's like, oh, I don't know if we can let you in. I've got to ask Eugene. Hold on. Like, why do you have to ask Eugene? He has two green eggs. We respect him.

[B]

Why didn't he donate? Why? Yeah, okay, so now you said that we were gonna have a difference of opinion on. On something here.

[A]

So as you said, who cares if they pay? Well, I'm paraphrasing, but you said something like, who cares if they pay, as long as they'll donate more once they're in there. Right. But I think if you're having a charity say that.

[B]

That's what they said.

[A]

Oh, I thought you were saying it.

[B]

No, that's what they said. Oh, yeah.

[A]

No, don't. You shouldn't let them in. They're not paying attention.

[B]

I 100 agree. I think that they should. I think that they should buy a ticket.

[A]

I was actually really surprised with Steve and Mimi in this. I was like, well, that's stupid. Why would you. And so what if you're going to spend more, everybody has to pay to get into the charity event. It's weird.

[B]

I agree. And unless, like, if the other people didn't have to pay to buy a ticket. That's because they already donated $2,500. I think this was. I agree. I don't think that they should have been guilted into donating for what seemed like a very disorganized event. When you're giving money to something, you're still giving money, and you want to make sure that like. Like, that it's going to someone who's responsible. And Toya was not showing any indication that she was being responsible with money or the planning. Like, the planning isn't. The planning is an insight to how the money will be handled. And it's like, it's not something you just want to take lightly. But that being said, when you show up to the event, like, you should buy a ticket. Like, if you're going to show. If you're going to show up. Yeah, either don't go or you should buy a ticket 100%. Especially because it was like, the ticket was what, 150 per person in which, by the way. By the way, for, like, that's cheap, I think, for. For a charity ticket. Like, I think that, like. Well, well, I mean, it's not cheap, but, like, concern what their goals were. I think that they could have raised the price for this crowd. It's a crowd of doctors and celebrities and football players. You could have charged 300. You could even charge 500.

[A]

Yeah, but I think at this point, they're just trying to get people in the room, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then there will be, like, the cheap people who don't pay. But most people, if they're rich, they'll come donate for their taxes or whatever.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

So I can see that. But the whole I'm. I don't get Steve's argument here. I think it's tacky. And I can't believe even when they're explaining it to him, he's like, no.

[B]

That unless maybe this could be a fourth wall moment where they're like, well, we won't go. But the producers are like, this is the season finale. You have to go.

[A]

Well, and then there's another argument.

[B]

So I have to pay money to go to the season finale.

[A]

Yeah. There's another argument that why should I have to pay to go to work? That's not fair.

[B]

Right. So that maybe that was. That was maybe part of it, that we. That's like something that's like, between the lines. But if we were to take it on value, which sometimes you just have to take it on face value. I do think that if you're going to a charity event. You have to pay. You just have to pay. Like, you. And, like, why would you not pay anyway? Why would you show up at a charity event and not want to pay

[A]

something to argue with it on tv, you look so bad. Yeah, just. I'm surprised. It seems like a misfire from him, and I'm surprised.

[B]

Yeah. And his whole argument that we get to in a moment is that, like, you know, we would have gone in there, we probably would have spent much more on. On a piece of art. But now you nickel and dimed us, and now we're not going to, like. Well, we don't know that because you actually just said you're not going to

[A]

support, so why would. Yeah, like a cheap ass.

[B]

And you're not. And also. And like, you. You're also, like, reframing it to being nickel to dime. You're not being nickel to dime.

[A]

It's.

[B]

You're doing the thing, the standard thing. You pay the ticket to access, and then when you're in there, you're given the privilege of being able to donate to one of these things and to get a nice piece of art out of it.

[A]

So he's like, well, at what point did they say we needed to take ticket? Do you act like this at a movie theater?

[B]

It's true.

[A]

It's a ticketed event.

[B]

Did you think I was gonna say, no, they're entitled to go in there with that?

[A]

Yeah, I thought you were saying they should. Why would you need a ticket from them if you know they're gonna spend the money? They should just let them.

[B]

No, no, because this is charity. Like, I think that, like, you know, if it weren't charity, then maybe there's something like, you know, okay, you let them in and. Because they're celebrities and, you know, whatever, but it's charity. Like, you. You pay the thing. The whole point is, because you're a celebrity, you can pay this thing, right?

[A]

So they're like, what are you talking about? And Eugene comes up and he's like, so are you gonna buy a ticket? And Mimi goes about that. What? And Steve's like, well, we're with Jackie. We're at Jackie's table. So I don't know if Jackie spent extra money and said, okay, I'm buying all these tickets for my friends, because that would be. But it didn't seem like it later.

[B]

Well, that's what. That's. Because this does happen at charities. And I have.

[A]

Lisa, Rinna would never go to anything.

[B]

Well, people do. People do Buy tables. I don't know. If someone buys a table, is that like sponsoring all the people at that table? I actually don't know how that.

[A]

So I don't know.

[B]

But that didn't sponsored me for a gala.

[A]

So your moment in the sun.

[B]

Don't know how it works.

[A]

So Eugene's like, well, the tables pay for the event, but the tickets go to the student. So it's 150 a ticket. And Steve's like, well, you are aware that we gave 5,000 last year. And Eugene like, that was last year. So this is not the same year. Do you understand how years work? Do you buy one movie ticket and then just keep going to the now? I do. I will stay in the movie theater all day, but not for a year. That's not how it works. They kick you out to clean it up eventually.

[B]

I'm texting someone right now. I need. This is actually driving me crazy. If. Is it standard practice that if someone buys a table at a charity, then you don't pay? Does an attendee have to buy?

[A]

Like if I said, ben, I bought a table, you want to come then that you would be part of that table. That's your ticket.

[B]

Okay, I'm texting right now. You just keep. You just keep recapping.

[A]

So Steve's like, well, do you want money or do you want a donation? He's like, well, yesterday's price is not today's price. You feel me? And he's like, no, I don't. So Mimi goes to ask the staff. She's like, are you sure that the. The money that we pay goes straight to the student fund? And they're like, yes, yes it does. So now Heavenly and Damon come. And Simone's like, have you talked to Heavenly yet? No, no, I haven't seen her. Did she fly it on the broom?

[B]

Will she be jaced? Was she. Was she being chased by regional mobsters on brooms?

[A]

Did we hide the water just so she doesn't shrink in case she comes in here. I need nobody first.

[B]

Toya would think that that's just all that happened to the wicked witch of the West. She shrank. Well, the wicked water. She shrank and went holes.

[A]

Are you sure she could come after that house just fell out her sister. So Simone's like, you're going to be mad when you see her outfit. Like, oh no, I'll be okay. And she's like, no, cuz it's just plain and regular. Just regular tacky. There's no art there.

[B]

News flash. There's no Art in any.

[A]

Nobody looked like. I mean, I get they look nice. I think everyone looked nice. But it wasn't like a living art. This was all living art is like, you know who did that, right? Beverly Hills. Remember when they did it?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's how to do it. And, like, Kyle had twigs in her hair or something. She was like a tree of. You know, she was a martyrdom or

[B]

whatever they were doing. Avant garde, unfortunately. Avant garde, unfortunately. Everyone here is just guard. But having a God party. Yeah. So, yeah, there's not a lot of living art. I mean, Brandy sort of tries. She sort of has, like, this dress that has, like, these sort of, like, little wings on the side. It's like a little. Little outre. It's not even outre. It's just like. It's like, ooh, some architectural features. But, yeah, no one is really dressed as living art. Although, even though there is at one point a picture frame that's going around that they're like, oh, my God, I'm holding a picture frame around my face.

[A]

I'm living art. So Heavenly says, oh, the Met gala looks beautiful, but I expected that. What I want to know is, how much did she pay and how much you have left over for the scholarship ships? Mm.

[B]

And so then Quad shows up with her friend Ronald because King will be joining later. So then Steve pulls Eugene to the side. He's like, hey, Steve. He's like, hey, Eugene. I didn't know how that played out. Like, us being singled out about the tickets. And Eugene's like, well, there's been a lot of confusion. Right? Like, where did that. Some of that confusion come from? Because Toya was telling everyone in Jamaica how this should happen and how it was supposed to work, and she kept on getting cut off. Oh, shush, Eugene. I mean, you're right here.

[A]

No, he's not in the right about

[B]

the tickets, you know?

[A]

Yeah. But this whole thing of sticking up for Tori and being like, well, everybody just keeps cutting my wife off, and she doesn't get respect. They have not. She has not sent anybody information. There are. There's pages of texts about it, and she still won't send it to them.

[B]

Update from the Alexia News Network. We touched base with Amanda, who works in fundraising, and I asked, if someone buys a table at a charity, do people at the table still have to buy a table ticket? This is a marriage medicine related question. And she said, no, that's crazy. The table is the ticket for everyone. So Steve and Mimi were right?

[A]

Well, yeah. I mean, well, we don't know, because Jackie never confirms that she paid for a whole table. Everybody.

[B]

No, they were listed as guests of Jackie on the show.

[A]

Oh, then that is weird.

[B]

Okay, never mind. Stephen, Mimi, you have been exonerated. And because, by the way, of course they were being exonerated. Why? Like, why would we think for one moment that Toya would have it right about this?

[A]

I know that they're. But I don't know that they're exonerated. But that's weird. Why would you charge for a table and for a ticket? No, I don't understand.

[B]

I think, like, when we started talking about it, we weren't thinking that there was a table, but then we remembered as we were reading through that, oh, yeah, they were part of a table.

[A]

No way. So you're telling me that everybody who went to this bought a table and a ticket on top of that? That doesn't.

[B]

No, no, no. When you buy the table, the table is like, you're basically buying a batch of tickets at that point. Point. So if you have. And then you invite friends and the friends get those tickets, that's what that is.

[A]

Yeah, I get that. But so not everybody.

[B]

So many people who work for non profits are losing their mind listening to us, trying to figure out. Because it's not elements.

[A]

I know, but it's not based. I know how if you buy it. That's what I was saying. Like, if you buy a table, then you can invite people to your table. But I'm. What I'm not understanding is how they have it set up. Do they have it set up where you buy a table and then a ticket on top of the table? That's what he's making it sound like because he said the tape. Eugene said the tables go to this thing and then the tickets go to this other thing. So he's making it sound like you have to buy two separate things, which I don't know this. It's just set up poorly. And it's very. It's a total Toya production. It's a mess. I don't care what people say on here. They're like, oh, my God, Toy did amazing. No, you didn't. You're. This is a cluster. It makes no sense. So anyway, so he's arguing with Steve, and Steve's like, well, there needs to be communication. And he's like, well, that's fine, Steve. I'm sorry that you feel like you were cut off or single out. And Tori is like, oh, well, were you singled out? So she comes over and he goes, yes, that wasn't cool. And she's like, well, you know what wasn't cool? Not supporting the cause. Because the reality is none of you. None of that would have happened had y' all just bought a ticket and your wife listened to everything I said, and you know what she said? We're out. And he goes, yeah, I don't really address women. I talk to men.

[B]

And she's like, this is like standard marriage to medicine. Like, rules of engagement. The men only talk to men. The women only talk to women. Women, I don't know. Every time this happens, Like, I get it. Like, I understand. Like, you don't. You never want to be like a guy raising your voice at a woman. Like, never. But I always feel like when people are like, very much like, these are the rules. And this is the men talk to the men and women talk to the women. I just feel like it's so retrograde at the same time.

[A]

It is. But then if he had argued with her, then people would have been like, oh, my God, why are you arguing with a woman? You know? So it's like, you can't win. And Toya is also starting it by coming up and getting in the middle of it. You know, Eugene's like, I'm gonna handle this, and I'm gonna stand up for my wife. She's like, pushing him out of the way away.

[B]

Like, I got those.

[A]

Like, you can't do Eugene. So she's like, you know what's not cool is y' all not giving $150 a ticket. And I'm not being rude, because the reality is none of that could have happened if you bought a ticket. And he's like, but my point is we were going to come and donate and buy a piece of art to contribute much more than 150. Like, there could have been a better approach in understanding that there's some people in here. What? What happened?

[B]

You just scrolled too fast.

[A]

Fast. Oh, skipped. See? See, he's like this. It's customer service, basically. He's like, you know, you want people to come buy this artwork off the wall, cuz some of us could do it. And there's some people who can only buy a ticket. And that's poor taste.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, poor taste. That's. I mean, that's Toya in a nutshell, right? So Toya is like. And Mimi's like. And that may not be true based on my conversation with Brandy and the other ladies. It's like, well, well, Brenda bought a ticket today. And so. So Torio's like, yeah, Brandy's husband bought a ticket today, and Simone bought 10 tickets. So. So right there, Simone bought 10 tickets because Simone bought a table. That's why. See, now I'm. I'm. Now I'm upset because I took a whole stance about, like, you know what? They should buy a ticket. They're gonna come in. But now knowing that they were guests of Dr. Jackie at a table, they're basically. That's crazy that they're getting charged a ticket on top of that.

[A]

So then angel and King come, and Jackie's like, oh, it's time for us to apologize. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet at the Subaru, but I just don't believe in their stance on carbs, so let's do it right now. And Curtis is like, come here, darlings. Both of you.

[B]

Everyone, everyone nestle up against my belly button.

[A]

Okay, Cruiser, Daddy is here.

[B]

Get up here. Put your heads along my waistline. All right, you. All of you down there. Well, I just want to let you guys know that what I said in Jamaica, if it offended you guys, I am sorry, because you are two of my favorite heathens, and I want nothing but. But the best for you guys before you go to hell. And Jack is when I'm on the

[A]

ark with two of each animal waiting for the world to dry out, and I watch you people down there drowning, I'm gonna wave at you because I really enjoyed you sinners. I really enjoyed you.

[B]

I should have remembered that when you're too far gone to even get into heaven, what's the. Why even bother policing this one other element? It's too late. Am I right, guys? So just have fun.

[A]

What, am I going to be in kind to you? No, you're going to be in heaven.

[B]

Yes, I may have cheated on my wife, but I only did that to show how much more godly I could be afterwards. So, guys, bring it in. Bring it in. And Jackie's like, well, we never say if we offended, right, Curtis? Because we offended, and we just want to say we're sorry. I'll help you out with that, Curtis. Even though I've coached you for a week now, and somehow you still mess it up.

[A]

And Curtis is like, yeah, I'm sorry. I want the best for you. And King says, yeah, but, like, my brother attacked me. And he's like, it wasn't an attack. It was an attempt to get you to look at it in a different way. Listen, we all have our beliefs in God, religion, mistresses. You know, I Have my own way of doing it. You guys have your own way of doing it. I young people traips through airports holding their hand in front of tmz. You know, you guys choose sin.

[B]

So my sin was only because I was lonely. Your sin was just because you're, you know, you're. You're being intentional with your sin. I can't be blamed for my sin. So it was like an apology, but then it was not really an apology. And quad's like, it's fine for Curtis to have an opinion. Where the challenge has come is that he's coming across as self righteous and judgmental. And that's where the challenge is coming in at.

[A]

Yeah. It's like, I never thought you meant harm, Curtis. I was just baffled. I was bede and we accept your apology and I appreciate you reaching out after you heard it was disturbing. Even though we did not get the Sbarro we thought we were gonna have in this scene.

[B]

Even though I was looking forward to a Big Mac McDeel. To your cult of pounder with a cheese, filet of fish, a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a happy meal. Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce. Special orders don't upset us. All we ask is that you let us have it your way. I'm loving it.

[A]

So they're forgiven. So Simone is like, wow, this is what I want to say to Toya. Number one spectacular event tonight is an example that our money was wet, well spent. So don't worry about what people say in the corner. Don't charge another person a ticket. That's part of this group. Let's put the defensive wall down and bring everybody in. And Jackie's like, I know we need to give out the scholarship, so save your speech.

[B]

Yeah. So Simone is very proud of Toya. And now Toyo's like, oh, ye. Okay. Thank you all for coming. That this time we would like to acknowledge the scholarship fund receipt recipients for the 2025 MET Gala. Please give a round of applause to Bethlehem Dunlop of Morgan Love Brooks. Bethlehem and Morgan will each individually receive 5,000 to go towards their medical tuition and overall education. And apparently a free pair of scrubs from someone in this group. So congratulations, you two.

[A]

So she gives a thank you speech like, oh, my God, thank you them. And then. But they both do. And Troy is like, well, now that we have the ladies on stage, we're going to celebrate the basic cause we did it together. So I'd like to thank the original founders. Me, me and me. And then I would like to thank Everyone that helped me, other people. I'm not going to name or put on a website. Thank you everybody for coming today. Even though you didn't buy tickets, you cheap love.

[B]

You would like the awesome chicken tenders for my freezer over on that top table.

[A]

Big episode for chicken tenders. So Heavenly's like, oh, I'm just moved. Can I give a speech? Can I give a. Give me the mic. You might know me as the future president of this country. I am moved. And I know we gave Toya a hard time. Toya, I would just like to say, you stupid bitch. You dumb, dumb bitch. You can't do one thing right. But this was nice. The party was nice to Toya's stupid. Right, everybody? But you did good, stupid person. You did a good job, stupid person.

[B]

And by the way, one thing we didn't mention was that they are speaking of chicken tenders. There's like chicken wings. Like, the food is chicken wings. And Mimi at one point, sort of accurately is like, you know, if you're gonna be getting people to open up their. Their. Their pocketbooks, their wallet.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You don't serve chicken wings. Like, people are gonna pay the money that like, feels like matches the event.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And it is funny that she served wings at this. A gala.

[A]

Listen, it's living off. We wanted to be fancy, so we're serving something. French fries.

[B]

We want people to do finger painting, so we want to make sure there's a way for everyone get barbecue sauce on their fingers.

[A]

So Heavenly gives Toya credit in her speech and she goes the great. I would give Toya for this event F for conduct, because she was a total ass the whole time. Time. But the whole event was nice. I would give her an A plus. It actually came out very, very well.

[B]

And then Eugene gives Toya flowers, which I think is also like a little weird to do at this event. That's like a charity event. Be like, wait a second. But charity. But flowers for you for putting us together.

[A]

I think the season must have started like, before they started. Tori was like, if you don't support me this season, you're done. Because he's really going out of the way to be like, I support my wife and she never does anything wrong. You all stop being mean to my wife. Five.

[B]

No, it's cuz that. That San Trope party that they had.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

That's why. But she's like, game. And then he's like, I don't want. Come on. Do we have to play this game? So then. What are you saying? There's a game. Why aren't you playing the game, Eugene? But I guess in my mind it sounded very clear, but I guess to everyone else, Why don't you bl the gobbles up?

[A]

I love you. I appreciate your personality with. She's dancing with Michael. Everyone's dancing and having fun. And Michael's like, I love you, Mom. You know, I'm not even going to speak out loud, but you. You read my mind, you know? But you know who we didn't say anything to to now. I'm not gonna say anything. She's like, I'm not even with her. Okay. I said hello, but I'm not with Heavenly tonight. I have a renewed commitment with friendship with some of those who are being a great friend to me, but somebody that has no loyalty. I'm not with you, you know, Simone, hold on.

[B]

Let me prop myself up. Simone, Simone, you will be mad as hell forever. And she loves to drag out and hold a grudge for a long time. I don't, though. I think Simone should know I'm not mad, and I'm hoping we can move forward, but she's a fucking bitch. But I'm a nice girl.

[A]

What does the future hold for Queen? Queen. Queen. That's her couple's name. Queen, quad and King. She's like, well, I can't say that. She's looking in a mirror. She's like, I can't say that. I'm not gonna let time go to. I've got time to waste. I might not be. Might not be King, Might be someone else. Never know.

[B]

I'm gonna have a. I'm gonna eat your food, though. Yeah.

[A]

He just reaches in and takes.

[B]

Yeah, he does some food off her plate.

[A]
