-What the the hell is under your armpit? -[Whitney] What?
You have hair that I could braid.
[Whitney] Previously on My Big, Fat, Fabulous Life...
Everybody, this is Karen.
Hi, Karen.
I usually don't bring my sister and my father on a first date.
I haven't had a serious girlfriend in a long time.
My dad is in the vicinity.
-[Karen] What's he doing? -[Hunter] I think he's spying.
Well, hey, guys.
I see you guys having a good time.
[Whitney] If we want Hunter and Karen to, like, have a successful relationship,
this is not the way to ensure that.
[laughing]
I've been thinking, we've got that big house,
and I think we ought to consider
selling it.
[Whitney] Now that he wants to sell the house,
it might be worth renovating that bedroom downstairs
so that he could see the potential in what it could be
as a downstairs bedroom.
I'm doing some planning for your bachelorette party.
[man] Oh.
[Whitney] But I was gonna get to all the bridesmaids
some toys.
You're going into a new decade on 4-14-84 and 2024,
I'm gonna be 40.
We need to get our [bleep] together.
Yes, we do.
[opening theme music playing]
[Tal] Hello?
[Whitney] Hello!
[Tal] Hi.
[Whitney] Goosey, that's uncle Tal!
Hi, sweet girl.
-[Whitney] That's uncle Tal! -It's just me.
-Happy New Year. -Happy New Year.
I thought we could do it--
A different twist...
-Lord. -...on our regular new Year.
And don't talk to me about the bookshelves.
I know. I know.
Wait. Yeah. It looks different in here.
There was something over there, too.
It is out with the old and not even in with the new
because mostly I'm just trying to get rid of
I'm trying to purge.
You got to get this house in order?
That's gonna be on your tombstone.
I've got to get this house in order.
[Whitney] Even the house is never in order.
Tal and I have a little bit
of a New Year's tradition where we like to look back
at the past year and see what went wrong.
Such as usually everything and how we can change things
going forward into the new year.
This is all this mail I have for you.
I changed my address, I promise.
I know you did.
I feel like now
is a really pivotal moment for me
because I'm going into a new decade.
I'm turning 40.
It's going to be a new phase in my life, and I want to start strong.
There is so much emotional, like, clutter that I just want to clear out
so that I can make room for a lot of big joys in my life
that I haven't felt in a really long time.
So I've got a little bit of a midlife crisis
going on that has lit a fire under my ass.
-Oh, bills, okay. -This is for the wedding.
Join us for a rehearsal dinner in honor of Heath and Jaime.
-Their wedding is that soon? -For what?
Yeah, well, we gotta do bachelorette party first.
You're planning the bachelorette party, too?
-Yes. -Oh, my God.
I've got a darn limo. Games. Lots of decorations.
We're getting a rental house, you know?
So you're doing all that for Jaime,
and you're renovating your dad's house.
-What are you doing for you? -Correct.
Absolutely nothing.
It's a monumental year.
-Is it? Because I'm turning 40. -Why--
-Everybody stop. -I mean, I can't process it personally.
Everyone's like, "Oh, you're turning 40."
Because that means I'm right behind you.
We're middle aged.
I'm having an existential crisis about it.
That's the thing. I've been in an existential crisis since I was 18.
-Since you were born. -Right, and now I have another one.
Like on top of the one I'm always having.
On the highway of life,
I truly feel that I am stalled
and everyone else in my life is zooming past me.
I mean, Buddy is married.
Jessica is married and trying for a baby.
Lenny surprised us all and now suddenly has a baby.
Hunter of all people has entered into a serious relationship,
and my younger niece, Jaime, is getting married and she's only 25.
Here I am.
My license plate says, I'm 40
and I'm stuck on the side of the road
with a white T shirt hanging out my rolled up window.
Smoke billowing out of the hood.
And ain't nobody stopping.
So I have got to change my gears because I would like
to get back on the road and headed in a positive direction.
Yeah. God, I look back on my life and I'm like, "Bitch,
you were really trying." Like, I am proud of you.
You were trying so hard.
Nevertheless, she persisted.
She did.
She persistently failed.
[both laughing]
But she was trying.
She was really trying.
-Oh. -I'm gonna do mine out of order.
So I'm going to do grief counseling.
My therapist did suggest that for me and my dad, actually.
My friends have all told me the same.
They're shocked at how well it seems like I handled my mom's death,
and I don't know that that's normal.
I would like to engage in positive self talk.
I mean, I cried at the funeral, but I think I went a couple
of months without having a big just--
And I'm a crier, you know?
So it seems a little weird to me.
I feel like I'm maybe a little disconnected from those feelings
because they hurt, you know, they're big,
scary feelings.
I do wish that I, like, felt more connected with her.
I even wish she would haunt me like some--
-You know, like... -Yeah.
I feel like I am missing,
you know, some comfort that maybe a lot of people might feel
after the death of a loved one.
I think we really do need to go to the psychic.
-I need some direction. -Because there's a good one in Charlotte
that I always wanted to go to, and I never did
because some of the psychics that we have been to
like the one that told me I was fat, like the wild Turkey.
Oh, my God.
And I said, "Ma'am, I'm here
to learn about the future, not look into the mirror.
Thank you."
Yeah, We need a better psychic experience.
So you heard this was like quality when you were in Charlotte?
Oh, yeah. Everybody talks about her.
I had always heard about this woman in Charlotte named Gina,
who was like the real deal and really amazing.
And I never got the opportunity to go to her, so I would be interested
just to see, you know, if there's any way
I can connect to her at all.
Okay, I've got one.
Dance more.
Absolutely.
-You're too talented not to. Seriously. -Um...
Okay. Now, personal life, family.
-Nourish... -Good word.
...current relationships.
And cut out the weeds.
Well, I already cut them out.
I'm working on it.
I wanna go on some dates.
Because I will not meet my soulmate
until I go on some dates.
I'm not gonna lie.
I am definitely scared.
I definitely hear the clock ticking.
I'm about to be 40.
I'm entering into midlife.
And it feels like time is passing me by,
and I want to make sure that I'm not wasting any of it.
So these New Year's resolutions
really are the most... important
I feel like I've ever made, and more than any other year in my life,
I really want to stick to them.
There are so many things that I think
I deserve in life.
But I've got to put in the work to actually make them happen.
I don't-- God, with the dates.
What is a girl to do?
I need some, like spiritual he--
Like, I need someone to light sage.
I'll sage my [bleep], I don't care.
[laughing]
-Careful. -I will.
Can somebody get this out of me?
Because I'm clogged.
Spirits, the demons.
They're clogging up my passageways.
How can let someone else in?
Maybe we can find a psychic that will do that, too.
[both laughing]
Oh.
[upbeat music playing]
Dad wants me to do some cleaning out of the garage and the attics
and stuff like that so that he can get the house ready to sell.
But I have been becoming increasingly more and more overwhelmed.
I have been trying to clean out my parent's garage
for years now.
Mom, it's dirty and broken,
and it's been in this garage for 20 years.
[Barbara] Well, so have you.
It's going.
Bring that back here to--
[Whitney] Mom, this needs to go. We're not hoarders.
Can we get rid of mom sticks?
-Wait a minute. No! -Mom, you're not hoarding twigs.
Whitney, these are my best sticks!
I don't know how I can even begin this job.
It's a huge one.
But I do feel that by tackling the downstairs bedroom.
And by making it beautiful and perfect,
my brother and I can convince my dad not to sell this house.
[note playing]
[Whitney] Hello.
What's up?
Hi, big boy--
I don't like how he does me.
[Hunter] What are you doing here?
Daddy told me that I had to clean out the garage.
That was part of his thing
for getting the house ready to sell.
And I found this iron, and this giraffe and these perfectly good antacids.
-Yeah. -Why is the grandfather clock off the wall?
The cat knocked it off.
-I thought that we were a team on this. -On, on what?
I mean, we're talking about the...
Operation Dad doesn't sell the house.
[Hunter] Well, yeah. So what are we doing?
What's the plan?
Well, so, in order to sell not selling.
-To sell not selling the house, -To sell-- Right, right.
first of all, we have to unearth some really serious [bleep]
Once he is swirling...
[Hunter] Yeah, yeah.
...in memories, then,
we bring him into the downstairs bedroom,
which is a sanctuary, if you will.
-I mean, imagine it. Hardwoods, nice rug. -Hmm-hmm.
-He has his little desk in there. -Yeah.
And plus where am I going to stay if he sells it?
[Whitney] Have you ever felt that--
I would never be able to come back.
Exactly. It would be everything so that he feels-- because I don't know,
I mean, I think he's happy at my house,
but I want him to feel that he does not have to be with me--
All the time.
Or if we just need, or "Hey, what if I have a date?"
You know, and I need somewhere to send Dad. Where I'm gonna send him?
-Right. Yeah. -[Whitney] You know?
For the past several years, I was like, hell bent
on getting my parents to move downstairs
because they both had some really scary falls.
So, I am remodeling this room for my dad
so that he can have a temporary space
or a permanent space if he wants.
It doesn't matter to me.
It's just about him feeling like he has options.
But the other plus side to it is that if I'm gonna be
back out in the dating world,
it's a little awkward to, you know,
bring someone to the house when your dad lives, you know,
five feet across the hall.
And the only good thing is that the hearing aids do come out
at about 11:30 every night, but I can't trust it.
You know, he makes a lot of trips to the bathroom.
Eh... So, you know, worst case scenario
is that it's a getaway for me when I need to getaway.
[Whitney] And think about this, too.
A month ago, you were single.
Now you're about to have a baby.
-Me? I don't know if we're that far. -Yeah.
-Yes. -[gasps]
And you didn't tell me?
Hunter! What happened? Tell me everything.
Start to finish.
It just was the right moment, and we said we loved each other.
-That was it. -Who said it first?
I did. I said, "Hey, come here for a second."
And she was like, "What?" I was like, "I got to tell you something."
She like, "What?" I said, "I love you." and she said, "I love you, too."
And I was like...
[guitar playing]
Uh, I mean, things are getting pretty serious with Karen.
I told her I loved her and she said back to me,
and I haven't
had any interest in doing that with a girl in a long time.
Um...
But you know, when it's right, it's right and you feel it.
And so...
here we are.
Once we get through with the garage,
we're really working on the downstairs bedroom.
I mean, I can totally do all the design,
but I'm not going to be able to start on
this immediately because I've got a bachelorette party that I'm hosting.
I mean, it looks like I'm going to be spending
a little bit more time in Atlanta.
So what you're saying is it's up to me.
Kind of. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying.
And you done pissed me off.
It's a good thing I have this guitar,
so I can put a soundtrack to this disappointment.
[note playing]
[Whitney] You know, at the beginning of this project,
I really thought I needed my brother
to be hands on, in the trenches with me, making it happen.
But I'm actually happier with him out of the way.
I got to be honest with you.
I have a vision.
I have the checkbook.
So if Hunter's not here to help, great.
[strumming guitar]
Well, it's been fun.
-It was. -[Whitney] Good talk.
[strumming guitar]
I think I'm just doing this, like, vicariously,
as though it were my bachelorette party.
My niece, Jaime's bachelorette party is this weekend,
and she has a lot of bridesmaids coming in.
I got everybody yoga mats in case we want to do some breathing exercises.
Do you think these girls came in town to do yoga?
[Jessica] Whitney is a massive homebody.
She's a little bit in denial.
If she thinks that these girls in their young 20s are not gonna want
to go out to a bar and socialize.
You might be in trouble.
You might have to take your ass out of the house.
[upbeat music playing]
[Whitney] You gotta lick it. You don't like envelope?
Lick it. Lick it.
You can do it.
That's not doing it, honey.
My niece. Jaime's bachelorette party is this weekend,
and she has a lot of bridesmaids coming in.
So I've got a rental house in Greensboro, Angie is arriving tomorrow
to help me finish all of the party prep.
And then we are heading into an epic bachelorette party weekend.
[Jessica] Hello. Knock, knock.
-Oh, Hey. -Where you at?
Dining room.
I'm coming.
Look at you, girl.
I love your sweater.
Well, thank you.
Look at all this stuff.
I cannot believe I'm actually
-not more stressed than I am. -Oh, my gosh.
I think I'm just doing this like vicariously,
as though it were my bachelorette party.
I really have put in a lot of
time and work into this
bachelorette weekend.
Because, well, I think it's a big deal.
I mean, Jaime has entrusted me to host this thing.
You know, I'm nervous about it being enough
and being what she wants it to be
and that all of her friends will like it.
Everyone has a robe. Matching.
I really love being an aunt.
I love the idea of having a niece.
And I just really want this to be perfect.
[Jessica] Those are so pretty.
I'm a little overwhelmed with the work that I have to do.
So I've enlisted Jessica to help me with a little craft
because not only has she had her own
bachelorette weekend before, but she's very crafty.
What was so funny is at the first bachelorette,
I thought to myself like, "Okay, I'm 15 years older than Jaime
and I'm 15 years younger than Angie.
-So where am I gonna fit in in this thing, right? -Right?
Turned out I was the only adult at the bachelorette party.
Let me show you the types of things that were going on.
[Jessica] Okay.
It's a little wild.
Oh! Oh!
Angie!
-[screaming] -[hip-hop music playing]
Okay. They finally made me get down.
[laughing maniacally]
-Who's that? -Jaime.
-Is that Jaime? -Yes!
Jaime's dumbass back there.
[laughing maniacally]
This is the kind of thing that we're in for.
You're not ready for all of that.
-No, I'm not. -Not for a round two of that.
No, but I'm gonna have lots of drinks at the house.
I'm hoping that they're just gonna get drunk enough,
they don't want to leave.
They're in their early 20s. There's no such thing.
-You might be in trouble. -Exactly.
You might have to, like, take your ass out of the house.
-[breathing heavily] -For one night, for Jaime.
Look at it as you're going out to protect your family.
I got everybody yoga mats in case in a free moment
if we want to do some breathing exercises, or some mindfulness.
You think these girls came in town to do yoga?
[upbeat music playing]
Whitney is a massive homebody. We all know that about her.
I think she's a little bit in denial
if she thinks that these girls in their young 20s
on a bachelorette trip are not gonna want to go out to a bar and socialize.
But this might be like the perfect scenario
to kind of force her out of her comfort zone.
I think it's a great opportunity to get out
and, you know, maybe meet a nice guy.
So you know, I do those collaborations
-with that sex toy company. -Yes.
I've been an ambassador for an adult toy company since 2020.
It's pretty extraordinary.
I feel like it's best for a more experienced user.
My favorite thing about this toy is that it has cruise control,
which means it reserves 20% of its full power.
As someone who's been self pleasuring for 25 years,
it's an important aspect of life.
-Is it lipstick? No, it's not. -[Jessica gasps]
Now. This is fancy.
Now, the only missing touch is what I wanted to do for the cups here.
Yeah, for whatever-- I mean, what What ideas do you have?
-This is an acrylic blank. -Okay.
You can customize them, you can put like glitter and put their name on it.
-And then it just slides over the straw top like that. -[gasps]
How fun is that?
And so they can, you know, keep it and take it with them or whatever.
Do you want to do a test one?
-Yeah, let's do a test. -[Jessica] Okay.
Now, the other thing, though, is the New Year's resolution.
[Jessica] What sort of resolutions did y'all make?
Stupid, cheesy stuff, like I want to put myself back out in the world.
That's not stupid or cheesy, and I love to hear that. That's like...
-I want to try to date. -Yes.
I got back on the apps yesterday.
Do you want to see the two messages that I've got?
I don't think I do, but I think I need to.
-Let's see it. -This one.
Hey, I love your body.
You like sex?
Oh, my God.
-Well, actually, I do. -This one.
This opener.
Looking juicy, Whitney.
Oh, my God. [laughing]
What are men doing?
Well, just don't put any pressure on it and just let life happen.
I know, but it's like I never leave the house.
We don't have to fix that. You've been doing better,
I know, but it's just the egging and stuff,
-though, I just I'm like... -I know.
But you can't let something like that
keep you from all of the other good that's in the world.
-I know. -Because there's a lot out there.
-Is this thing made or...? -It's made.
-It's like this is like a nail thing. -It is a nail thing.
-Oh, my God! -So this is what it looks like.
No way.
-Stop it! That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. -Yeah.
That's beautiful.
I have been on the Apps for 10 years
and I've had some success.
I've had relationships. I've had other things.
But recently, it's just been abysmal.
I'm not really looking for casual sex at all.
Like I just want to go out on a traditional date, you know?
So I'm thinking I'm gonna have to go out in real life,
which is like, even scarier.
But like, what is the alternative?
Die alone with the cats?
I mean, it could be worse, but I'd rather not.
So I didn't realize this, he had a huge glow up, okay?
Now he's only like, 25.
-So this is really, like, from five years ago. -Okay.
Heath is Jaime's fiance.
I think he's great for Jaime.
I have loved Heath as part of my family,
since I've known my actual new family.
-Close your eyes. -Okay.
Open your eyes.
[Whitney shrieking]
-What? -With the big giant fish.
Sweet angel.
-He means everything to me. -Right?
He is very like, grown and handsome.
I will love Heath for all of eternity.
[both laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
[door opens]
-Hey! -Hey!
-How are you? -Good.
Hey!
[both] Oh.
Good to see you. I missed you.
-Oh, my gosh, look at all these. -Yeah!
[upbeat music playing]
Bachelorette Weekend starts tomorrow.
Look, Heath. [laughs]
These are for a game we're gonna play, but I'll keep it a secret.
Angie has flown in from Alabama
and Even though I've pretty much finished everything...
[gasps] That is funny. That is so funny.
...I still just feel nervous about things going off without a hitch.
So I'm really glad that I can settle Angie into the rental house
and she'll be here for moral support.
That's scary.
I just thought it was on theme, you know?
-Yeah. That's all. -Hello.
[both laughing]
Hello.
So all the girls sent me all the lingerie that they wanted to buy for her.
So these are all her lingerie gifts?
-Oh, my gosh. -Yeah.
Hopefully, we'll get some grandbabies out of all this lingerie here.
-We need some more. -And then these are everybody--
I'll let you go ahead and open yours.
Oh, wifey.
Whitney really outdid herself while planning this bachelorette party.
I kept thinking that Whitney was probably gonna have it on the kinky side,
but everything's very nice, elegant, super classy,
just like Jaime.
So Jaime will absolutely love it.
This is for if, because I know I won't be drinking.
But I bet.
-Yeah. -I know you I did.
It's a bachelorette party.
I've got you-- I've got you some liquid hydration.
So if you need that...
Oh, oh, oh.
Now, I didn't know if this was crossing the line.
I know you wanted, like strippers and all that,
-but as you see here on the itenary-- -What you mean?
-...there are are no strippers -We're not having strippers?
Jaime said no.
-This is bachelorette party. -I know, but she said, no.
How old is Jaime?
She's acting like she's my age.
I think it's so silly that we're going through all this trouble
to have this bachelorette party,
and we're not having strippers,
like, what are the strippers for?
They're for a bachelorette party. Correct?
Like Jaime needs to just loosen up.
Get with the program and let's have fun.
[Whitney] I thought these little gifts could bring a little excitement.
This is apparently really good.
It's not charged, but it's got the charger in here.
What you mean apparently? You've never used it?
No, I've got myself one but I haven't opened it.
You know, I've never had one.
Like, I really haven't.
-I've never-- -What?
-I swear to God. -Angie.
-I promise. -Okay.
-You. -Okay.
I've always been married.
It don't matter that you've always had a man.
There is no man that comes with batteries.
I'm just saying I never have.
So this is a good time to start.
It's like Christmas.
I'm just kidding.
Angie is full of surprises. Okay, the Angie I know,
I did not expect for her to tell me
that she has never owned an adult toy.
Would you like a drink?
-Yeah. -Beer, we got all this.
I feel that I'm pretty much an expert on this...
Eight powerful pleasure settings,
and it also features a special technology called...
...and I will champion it until the day I die.
If there's one thing that I know how to do
is to introduce people to adult toys.
So, Angie has a very nice weekend coming up.
And then I want to hide these so we can have a little scavenger hunt.
So whoever finds them, little stress balls or [bleep]
I was gonna say it looked like a damn penis.
And you would know.
You would too.
You're right. Yeah.
[Angie] Oh, my gosh, Whitney.
-What? -That is a ride.
[Whitney] I am so excited for this bachelorette weekend.
Angie and I are on the way to the Charlotte Airport to pick up the girls.
I'll do one shot. That's it.
I'm excited about everything we're doing.
I just hope I can keep up.
No.
[upbeat music playing]
I wish it was gonna be a little warm tomorrow.
Actually, this is not too cold for me.
I would get in the hot tub. No problem.
But I don't know about everybody else.
Planning everything has been a little bit overwhelming,
especially because, you know,
this is a whole gaggle of, like, 20-something girls
and I'm not sure if I'm on track with what I'm doing
or what they're gonna like.
So having Angie with me,
like for the calm before the storm, is definitely helpful.
We've had so many parties recently,
like, you know, we did a little a baby shower for Lenny.
We did a Christmas party.
You know, we're doing all this stuff like this,
which is fun for me. I like doing it, and I feel like, I'm like,
especially with bachelorette party,
I feel like I'm living vicariously through Jaime
because I'm not gonna have a bachelorette party.
You have been focused so much on everyone else.
You're like the best sister, the best aunt, the best daughter.
If I was turning 40, at this point, I felt like,
you know, just focus on you and what's best for you
and what your goals are, what you want, like...
I want to feel like grounded and stable
and I feel like I've lost a lot of myself,
and I'm still... I don't-- I don't think I grieved my mom well.
Yeah.
That's why I love, like, you and and Jaime so much and like, having family
because I feel like so untethered, you know,
-like without my mom -Yeah.
and without, like, a partner and all that.
And so, you know, having all this family like,
going, going somewhere for Thanksgiving, you know,
all that like really helps me feel, like I don't have to worry so much
-about being alone in life, you know. -Yeah.
[Angie] I believe everything happens for a reason.
And I believe Babs had a lot to do with how this all happened
at the right time.
Whitney does need us. Distraction is good.
It'll help you move forward.
That makes me so happy that we could be that for her.
Like, be what helped her through the most difficult thing
that she's probably ever experienced in her life.
I also want to go back to my fertility doctor
because my eggs have been frozen for,
I think it's been three years.
So I think I only have two years, like they only keep them for five years.
I want to just get rechecked and make, you know, know what's going on in there.
Three years ago, I had a fertility doctor
retrieve and freeze 12 of my eggs.
And put them on ice so that if I wanted to get pregnant
at a later date, I could pursue that.
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
-Slow deep breaths, okay. -We're just gonna try to move this overy around a little.
Oh, God bless it! That just felt like...
Okay. All right. Okay.
Now that I am almost 40, I feel like enough time has passed
that I need to revisit the eggs to see what's going on
and also just kind of see what's going on within my own body
because I want to have children
I'm either going to have to do it through IVF or maybe do it naturally.
But either way, a trip to the fertility doctor is due.
So do you not want to have a child unless you're married or...
Yes, I definitely would want to go into it with a partner, I think.
-I don't think -I would feel confident-- That would be the ideal.
Sure. I don't think I would feel confident,
like purposefully having a child on my own, that would scare me.
-But if I had a partner... -You would be a great mother.
...everything might change.
It's just a weird, complicated feeling.
Like I may not be ready for a baby right now,
but like with women, you know, there is like a biological clock
that men don't have to worry about.
I get it. And I get the fact that even if you weren't ready now,
you don't want the option to be taken away.
Right, I don't want it to be like, but you're out of time.
-So, time's up. -Yeah.
-'Cause it's just like... -You want to be able to have the option.
I don't feel great about having a child in my 40s.
Personally, I know a lot of people do it.
I just barely have enough energy, like, for my own life at this age.
So it does make me nervous and ultimately, a partner would be the first priority,
and then the baby would come after that.
Whether that's naturally or if that's conceived through IVF.
Part of me like, feels pessimistic about finding a partner.
Maybe that's why. Because you're not open to...
I've been on the apps. The level of effort and, like patients
it takes to wade through the dating apps. I don't have it.
But I also don't really go out and socialize.
So I don't know how I'm going to meet somebody in person?
Going out with somebody from a dating app or something
you gotta go to a bar or like where do you meet people?
-What do you meet single people who are 40? -Hold up.
This is what I think.
Are your standards, like so high that...
I don't feel that my standards are that high.
All it is is like, obviously, I have to be physically attracted to the person.
They have to be funny, smart, kind.
I have to have good chemistry. I mean, that's what everybody wants, right?
-Correct. Yeah. -That's just, like, normal.
Okay, so, what about your friends
-'cause they know you're the best. -Yeah.
-They know what you're attracted to. -Right.
I would rather meet somebody that at least, even if I don't know him personally...
Somebody you know knows them.
Exactly. And I can have some kind of...
I feel like my friends don't have single friends, though.
I mean, like all my friends know I would love to meet someone.
[Angie] This is the thing.
Whitney's friends definitely know her better than me.
You know what her type is and what she likes and what she doesn't
and at this point, y'all need to find her a man. That's all I'm saying.
Look, I've been married and...
How many times?
Okay. And how many have you been married?
Engaged twice.
It don't count till you do the "I do."
-But whatever. -I've done the do. Just not the I do.
I know you've done the do.
Well, we're going to find you a man.
Yeah, well.
I have been becoming increasingly pessimistic about my dating life.
I think that the apps are pretty much off the table at this point.
So that would leave, you know, going out in public and meeting people.
And I don't really know where like people my age hang out.
I feel like they're at their kid's
like Little League games and stuff,
and that just feels creepy.
I've definitely been looking in the wrong places.
I'm just not sure where the right places are.
So I really don't know what to do.
[dramatic music playing]
[screaming]
If if these girls want to get wild, that's what we're gonna do.
I'm wet. I mean I spilled my drink.
[all laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
Oh, my gosh, Whitney.
-What? -That is a ride.
[Glenn] That as long as the driveway. I can't believe it.
-It's a Hummer. -Oh, it's a Hummer?
Did you think we were taking a taxi to the airport?
[Angie] Well, I didn't realize we were going to be taking this.
-Come on, now. -We got a stripper pole?
No, there are no-- Dad, do you hear your daughter?
-Yeah. -She will not shut up about strippers.
-All right well, Dad, we love you. -Yeah.
I am so excited for this bachelorette weekend.
After some extensive planning and choreographing,
Angie and I are on the way to the Charlotte Airport to pick up the girls.
-[Whitney] Hi! -[driver] How are you?
Good. How are you?
I also don't want to let them know all the surprises that I planned.
I think I'm going to let them think that we're all hopping in like ride shares.
But the reality is that we've got to pull up in this stretch Hummer limo
and I cannot wait to see their faces.
-I would not want to drive this thing. -No.
And how long as it is.
Considering that Greensboro and Charlotte are in hour and a half apart,
you know, we're gonna have to turn this right into a party.
Where is the drinks?
I told you, tonight's the night.
I must say Whitney with the buzz.
I guess. Is it in-- [exclaims]
-[Angie] What is that? -It's the drinks.
Oh, oh.
[Whitney] I'll do one shot. That's it.
Are you kidding me? Will you video it?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Here.
All right.
Whitney's taking a shot with me. I cannot believe this.
-In the Stretch Hummer. -Okay.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
No.
Jaime, she's got some drinking to do tonight.
I attended Jaime's first bachelorette party in Alabama with all of these girls,
and I really thought that Angie was gonna be like the sober one,
like watching after everybody, but she it was not.
I was the only sober one.
I felt like I'm the mom of the group,
but I planned this one, so I'm excited about everything we're doing.
I just hope I can keep up.
-Cheers. -Cheers to the weekends.
To Jaime's wedding.
Hmm.
I hope they're excited. I hope she's happy.
Oh, she's been blowing me up. "Send me some pictures."
I knew she was going to ask you to show her and tell her
and I hope you did not.
-I did not. -Thank you.
-I said I cannot do that. -Thank you.
-Well, she called me last night in tears. -[gasps]
Why?
The problem is with her flowers because she's getting married
-basically right around Valentine's Day. -Right.
Yeah, we're having kind of,
-a little bit of a problem because-- -Like flower shortage?
-Yes. -Oh, no.
-She was in tears, she's like, "And it's costing more." -Ah!
But I said, "Jaime,
-Aw! -just order it. It's fine."
That's why I feel like if I get married at my age,
it's gonna be a lot less pressure,
because a wedding, what 40 and over, is not the same thing
as a wedding when you're like 25, you know?
I am almost 40 and my patience,
energy and everything else is running thin.
And also, I know how much stuff costs, you know?
In my early 20s, when I was planning my wedding,
I was doing everything elaborate, a big guest list.
My dad was gonna pay for it.
Now? No.
To think about throwing a huge wedding,
not doing it, I'm going to the courthouse.
Okay, I cannot believe we're really not having a stripper.
[gasps] What is it with you and strippers?
It's not me! I'm not the one. I'm just saying...
-But Jaime-- -When you're 25 getting married.
-I mean... -But she's the one who said she didn't want it.
-Mmm. Let me call Heath. -Yeah, that's probably what happened.
[both laughing]
Hey! Well, what are you doing?
[laughing]
Listen, I'll have you know your mother-in-law
is still sitting here trying to schedule strippers.
-She's lying. She is lying. -[Heath laughs]
And then I said, "Well, maybe he vetoed it." Did you veto it?
[Heath through phone]
Well, Angie's disappointed. She thinks that the weekend is not going to have the same
you know, something without a stripper.
[laughs] All right.
-[laughs] Bye! -Bye!
[Angie] Poor, Heath. [laughs]
Well, let's do another shot.
Oh, you're gonna do another shot?
This bitch will have me tore up.
[Whitney] Okay. Okay.
[sighs]
Now we can't get drunk before we pick up the girls 'cause I'm the host.
-We got a limo! -I know.
But I've just gotta make sure I know what's going on.
There's a reason we have a limo. So we can get tore up.
God!
[upbeat music playing]
Cheers.
That was the last one of those. Never again.
-That's what you said the last time. -I know.
[laughs]
-[screaming] -[bleep]
[Jaime] I don't know what's going on.
This random lady pops out
and she looks a little too scandalous.
I'm a little worried.
[upbeat music playing]
-I see you. -I see Jaime.
[both chuckle]
[laughing]
[Angie] Hey, y'all.
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughs]
[Whitney] Okay. Are we ready?
[all] Yeah.
[Whitney] I'm so happy to see these girls faces.
I'm glad that they're pumped and happy
and I just wanna get them into this limo
and on the way to the best weekend of their lives.
Okay, now we have several taxis for us all.
So I would recommend pairing up with somebody
who doesn't have as much luggage as you
so it can fit in the trunk.
-Okay. -So, all right. Here we go.
[Angie] Follow the finger!
Follow the finger.
[Angie laughs]
[Whitney] Taxi's this way!
[Jaime] Oh, God. I'm scared.
Whitney, that is not a taxi.
-[laughs] -Oh, that's not ours.
We're going out here. That's not ours.
-We're going out here to a taxi. -Oh, man.
I pulled out some stops.
But I could not pull out no stretch limo.
-Aw! -It's not us, right here?
[Whitney] I'm just playing. It's us.
[laughing and screaming]
They got us.
Look at that!
Whitney has went over the top.
Just to walk out and see this limo,
I just know this weekend's about to be extravagant.
I'm so ready.
-[Angie] Please don't forget about your bags. -[all cheering]
-[Jaime] I ain't never been this fancy. -[laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
[Whitney] Okay so in your bag, you will find your hoodie
your ring, your sash,
-and your button. -Yup.
[Whitney] All right. So, does everybody have their itineraries?
-[woman] Yes. -All right. After arriving in Greensboro,
I just thought let's toast to the bride and settle in
or settle outside in the hot tub, whatever.
I thought we would keep it pretty low key.
Oh and we're gonna have pizza. Did you order the pizza?
-Yeah. -We're gonna have pizza.
And I ordered a little something extra.
What did you order?
We got pizzas coming and I've got us a fitness class.
Fitness?
Oh, my God.
I swear to you, I told her no strippers. I promise you.
-Mama, I'm telling you right now, -There are no strippers.
if there's a stripper at that house, I'm gonna be mad.
[Angie speaking]
You should be the one out there going...
Ma, I don't want a stripper.
-I didn't say I ordered one. I said I ordered something. -What is it?
What is it?
It's a surprise.
I don't know what she drank before she got here.
And I'm gonna need her to get on another level down.
So the only rules for the weekend are to have fun.
I'm gonna try really hard to be a cool aunt.
-You are a cool aunt. -[Whitney] I know y'all are 25, so.
And Kayla made me nervous because I called Kayla
and she said, "Well, where are we going on Saturday night? Like, where are we going out?"
And I was like...
[laughing]
I will be in my bed.
But, um. Yeah, so, we just wanna have fun, obviously. There's no other rules.
I think I have started off here as the cool aunt Whit
and so I've got a reputation to uphold.
And plus I know that most of these girls are married with kids
and they are probably really wanting a wild weekend.
All right, so, um, drinks are in here, if y'all wanna drink.
I think Angie might, uh, is gonna be preparing shots.
-Let's toast to Jaime. -[all cheering]
-[Whitney] Cheers! -[all] Cheers!
[Whitney] If these girls wanna get wild,
that's what we're gonna do.
[upbeat music playing]
-[all cheering] -Yes, ma'am!
[laughing]
[screaming and laughing]
I'm wet. I mean, I spilled my drink.
[all laughing]
I spilled my drink.
We are all [bleep] up.
♪♪ Come up to the party, lady ♪
♪♪ Come up, come up, come up ♪
[Whitney] Oh, my gosh. Here we go.
Okay. Does everybody have what they need?
[Angie] I definitely do not want to upset my daughter,
but I do wanna loosen her up a little bit.
All right, Angie, you wanna let us in?
-Angie, let us in. What are you doing? -[all cheering]
I have a special order that's supposed to be at the house
and I hope it's there and I hope everything goes well.
-[gasps] -[all] Aw!
Look at Heath.
-[woman] That's like old Heath. -[Jaime] Look at Heath.
[laughing]
The full body Heath is ridiculous.
It looks like Heath. Like, it scared me a few times
'cause I thought he was in the corner
and I wasn't expecting him to be there.
[Jaime] Whitney, you did way too much.
[all cheering] Yeah!
Look at him.
Oh, this is so cute!
Oh, I love this.
Whitney, you can tell, put a lot of effort
and very detailed and amazing things for us
for the whole weekend.
[gasps] Shut up!
[woman] Whitney!
[all cheering and screaming]
[Jaime speaking]
-Hey, y'all! Hey! -[bleep] Oh, hey!
[screaming]
-[laughing] -Who's this?
Hey!
Oh, you guys wanna do some fun stuff?
-[all cheering] -Yes, we're right here.
-[woman 1] Oh, my God. -[woman 2] Ready for what?
[woman 3 speaking]
I am mortified. I don't know what's going on.
I know that there's supposed to be some sort of like class
and like this random lady pops out
and she looks a little too scandalous to be a yoga instructor.
I do not want a stripper.
I told them no strippers by any means.
So, I'm a little worried.
[woman speaking]
[all screaming]
[Whitney] Next time on My Big Fat Fabulous Life...
She went Exorcist with it.
[laughing]
Probably wouldn't want my children watching me do that.
[laughing]
Do you think that you are ready to move on from the Frenchman?
If somebody came at me the right way,
yes, I could move on.
It might be easier to move on if you didn't talk to him every day.
[Whitney] I still talk to the Frenchman very regularly.
Am I pathetic? Probably.
So I wanted to just see what was going on in my uterus.
I don't know if I would be able to carry a child.
I don't know if the eggs that are already retrieved
are still good anymore.
[doctor] At this point...
Um...
