Let's do her buddy.

So this episode is called the player's ball.

It's about parties.

It's about, I got worried.

I have to say, I got worried halfway through because we spent 15 minutes at Contessa's party where nothing was happening.

And I was like, Oh no, marriage and medicine is falling in, falling into some bad patterns.

But then it sort of like pulled out the plane, like lifted its nose and went back up into the sky and,

And we had a really good episode.

But for a moment there, I was like, OK, we're spending five minutes watching people arrive at the party and they all get funny little names.

I was like, why are we still at this party?

Nothing is happening.

Never trust a party thrown in like a Marriott meeting room, like a conference.

I know.

That was weird.

Contessa's like, oh my God, this huge budget party.

Welcome to the, you know, best Western inn ever.

conference room with office lighting she spent so much money on this elaborate balloon wall which looked great but then the whole thing was like blatantly some business hotel conference room like there was the carpeting you could see those walls there was like it just nothing looked good it didn't look like it wasn't like immersive like why are you not at a club or something like that it was such a strange choice for a party

yeah so we start off with heavenly and um heavenly is reminding us that no matter what you might have heard lately her son doesn't talk to her etc she is a good parent and she's talking in her baby voice and she's talking to her son and she's like am i gonna get some grandkids baby i'm gonna get some grandkids and he's like well to be honest with you mama i don't want to get this the wrong way but i don't want like like a lot of girls she's like
