- Usually, we do Sunday brunches at my house or Judy's house,
but on this Sunday,
I wanted to do something special for Nate and Judy...
- Congrats to the newly-engaged couple.
- To celebrate their new journey.
- Aww, that's sweet.
- Nate, say something.
Today is your day and Judy day.
- You know what? 'Cause I love being put on the spot, really.
- [laughs] He needs a microphone.
He only speaks when there's a microphone.
- [laughs] I don't. You know what?
Yesterday was very special to me
'cause with our first "engagement."
- [laughs]
- I'm glad she's part of our family
and I'm part of your family.
So cheers to family. both: Cheers.
- Yay. - Welcome to the Ho.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Happy Ho family.
- Should we make another toast about our other happiness?
- Yes. - Would you like to do it?
- No, why don't you do it? [both laugh]
I'll toast for you.
- Everyone knows that Nate and I
have been trying to have a baby.
[gentle music]
We're happy to announce that we're pregnant.
We're ten weeks and it's gonna be a boy.
- Aww. - Oh, my.
- We're gonna have another president.
- Don't tell me you'll name him Trump.
- No. Thank you so much.
- For real? You're pregnant?
- Can you not tell? I've kind of gained weight.
- I got--I gotta, like-- - [laughs]
- You're glowing.
- Just say congratulation,
and I just say happy for both of you
and happy for both family.
They really love each other.
I understand that.
So let's do traditional way.
My kids grow up and they think different way.
I need to go their way if I want to get along with them.
- Ma, wash is better too.
- Yes.
- Oh, a lot better. Trust me.
- She make me-- he make me happy this time.
- He lucky he have you 'cause I don't even know
anybody can handle him, even his mom.
Jeez.
- See, people really cannot quit,
but Washington, he quit.
That's it--the big things.
I really [indistinct].
I want to quit, but I-I can't do it.
- I just wanna say as Washington's sister,
I'm really proud.
I feel like you've changed so much.
I feel like from the age of when you're a baby
until you're 38, you were the same person.
Like-- - Oh, God.
- [laughs] I'm just saying.
- I was. - He was.
See? Even he admits it.
- That my mistake. My mistake.
- Like, his personality. - That my mistake.
- Why do you say that, Ma? - Why?
- Everything, he say yes.
- Mm. Spoil. - Yeah.
- Now that I have a son,
it's hard for me to say no to him,
but, you know, it's not your fault, Dad.
It's not mom's fault.
Y'all just did the best you could.
You came here with nothing.
I went to school with the richest kids.
You just wanted to give me the same things they had
and I understand that now. - Right.
- But I don't wanna blame Dad. I'm blaming--I'll blame myself.
- I think my dad said I take responsibility
for Washing's actions because
he didn't want Lesley to blame Washington.
He's trying to do whatever he can to help their marriage,
and if he needs to take the blame for it,
he'll do that so that his son can get a clean slate.
- I think the parents are responsible
for the upbringing of their child though.
[tense music]
I think if a child is bad,
I'm sorry, I think it's the parent's fault.
You enable it.
You didn't give him boundaries. - [groans]
- I don't want that for Roosevelt.
You know, how are you supposed to know
what your boundaries are unless your parents set it for you?
Like, do all you can, right?
- I agree with you. That was my wrong.
- I know.
I-I think you have some fault too, yes.
- In my culture they put the first kid
responsible for the family,
handle everything,
and that's why Washington always wanted freedom,
do what he wanted to do.
And I think maybe he got that from me.
- I think that he thought Washington needed
a different set of rules to be who he thought
would be another version of him.
Okay, but you don't punish a child
when he's misbehaving, how do you expect--
- They punished us. They punished us.
- They punished us.
- But punished you more so than Wash.
I still see that to this day.
If Judy does something bad,
she gets more beef about it than you do.
- I think it's 50/50.
- I think it's more like 80/20.
- Oh, Lesley.
Damn, girl. Let it go.
You have to stop.
- You know, Ma, you spoil Roosevelt too.
- Hmm. Hmm, hmm.
- What? - Everybody's different.
- Or you've punished a child for doing something wrong.
- He didn't know I was doing something wrong.
- I think he just thought you were gonna change.
- I did change. See?
- I know. I'm just saying.
- Judy, do you think you need to change Nate?
Anything?
- No. - Oh, perfect.
[laughter]
- I take him as is.
It's much easier marrying someone like this
than a work in progress.
- Now that I sell cars, I know what "as is" means.
- [laughs]
- We've finished.
Let's go. What else they have here?
- I kind of wanna explore a little bit.
[pensive music]
- It's a nice place. - Yeah, beautiful.
♪ ♪
- [sighs] Anyway, so brunch.
I was thinking about when Roosevelt was being brought up,
like, compared to Wash, it just got me thinking like,
"Oh, my God.
Roosevelt could potentially be like Washington number two."
- What's wrong with that? - You lived through that.
- But I don't think you parent the same way my parents do.
So why are you worried?
- With him being surrounded by your parents,
who have parent him the same way...
- Right.
- How can you not turn out the same?
You can only have so much influence over him.
I don't know if it's gonna be enough.
- So then what's your plan?
- I don't know what my plan is yet.
It just kind of sparks something in me.
You know what I'm saying?
- That you don't want Roosevelt to be like Wash?
- Yeah, I don't want history to repeat itself.
- Okay.
- The end result is gonna be
Wash now.
Like, with the furniture.
- What furniture?
- Your mom came over to my house
and mentioned something about my furniture,
and Wash of course is like,
"Oh, well, Lesley picked out all the furniture.
I don't like anything in here."
And so your dad to kind of smooth things over he was like,
"Here's $25,000. Just go buy new furniture."
And then you know how we went to Tulum for Wash's 40th?
- Mm-hmm. - Well, he blew the $25,000.
- I believe it. - Yep.
- And what was your reaction to the weekend?
- I just wanted your dad to hold him accountable.
- I think Lesley keeps all the accountability on Washington
because he's an easy target.
What was your reaction to Washington?
- I was livid. - Okay.
- Of course, I was livid.
- And what did-- what was his response?
- I'm sorry. - At the same time,
she also benefited
from the money that was spent there.
- I just don't know how much more of this I can take.
- Of what? My parents or Wash?
- Both. - Well, you're married to Wash,
so you don't need to worry about my parents.
- No, I mean like accountability, you know?
Like, I want your parents to hold him accountable.
I want them to hold Roosevelt accountable.
- I think if you hold Washington accountable
and you hold Roosevelt accountable--
- I do hold Wash accountable.
It's just, you know how Wash is sometimes.
It's hard for him to have that conversation.
- Then you guys need to work that out.
And what does my parents have to do with that?
- 'Cause we end up fighting. - So then what are you doing?
Ignore it and then go to my parents?
Like, what the hell?
- I don't like talking to Lesley
about her and Washington
because I feel like they don't give me a straight answer.
One day they'll be like, "Oh, we're so happy.
We're awesome."
And then the next day they're like,
"I'm so fed up with him."
I don't even know what's going on with them.
I don't think they know what's going on
with their relationship.
You guys need to work that out between yourselves.
You're a united front.
You can't come to my parents one-on-one.
You're gonna lose.
- You really believe that?
- Uh, yeah, Lesley.
- Sometimes I feel like Judy just hates me
because she's not on my side
or she's pushing back to me
stuff that a few years ago, she would not have done.
- I thought you guys were better.
- We are better. - Okay.
Why don't you talk to him?
- It feels like a different Judy.
It feels like a very closed-off Judy.
I miss Judy. I miss venting to her
when I have issues with the family.
Also, your parents shouldn't be
writing checks left and right for us.
- There are worse problems to have.

- So that's why I wanna talk to you
because I wanted to see if you can help her
'cause she have a little lack of confidence.
I think because you her cousin, maybe you help her to open up.
- My only concern about Sammy is I'm just scared
to be that close to her again
because when we were working together,
I paid her to be my assistant.
- That's what I know.
- But really, I think I was just
making it worse for both of us.
I was paying for our bad habits.
- Oh.

When me and Sammy would go on our own escapades
and have some fun and Lesley felt like
it might trigger my addictions.
- That was two years ago.
Now two years later, now you are a strong person.
I just--I just love her.
I just--I just don't want her to fail.
Help me help her, please.
You are close to her before.
- Part of the reason why it's tough for me
to go to Sammy and help her... - Mm-hmm.
- My motives with her were selfish intentions.
So I have to make amends.
It's a hard thing for me to do 'cause I've got a long list
of people I need to make amends to.
- Let's start with family first.
Let's call Sammy.
So promise me maybe, like, you make a footstep.

We're fine.
- Yeah, so Aunt Tina is my second mom.
She might be.
No offense to my mama.

I'm so fucking proud of you guy.

- Hey, Judy. - Hi.
- Hey.
- Look what I got.
- What's that? - Oh.
- You like it? - Beautiful.
- Try it out, mommy.
- I like how you finally have color in your house.
Let me guess. You picked it. - Me too.
Yeah.
- I just wanted new energy
because...
we got a new Washington,
and that's why I wanted you to come here.
I took advantage of the people that loved me the most.
My intentions weren't to hurt them,
but obviously, my addictions got in the way.
- Okay, go.
Tell us about new Washington.
- Sorry.
- What are you sorry for?
- Taking advantage of you.
- But there's so many things.
Like, would you remind me? - [sighs]
Yes, I will.
- Will you get on your knees while you do it?
- See? Mom said right.
- Washington Ho is gonna do whatever it takes.
- Oh! [laughs]
- I stole Judy Ho's homework, Mom.
She did all my homework and then she stopped
and that's why I dropped out of school, Mom.
- Sorry for giving my number out
so you could get free bottles at the club.
- Oh, yeah.
Giving away all your stuff without asking.
Just eating your food without telling you...
- Yeah. - And then leaving your house.
- Yeah. - Scratching your car.
- That was him, Mom. It wasn't me.
- Yeah, I know.
- Took a lot of Judy's money and partied with it
from the bank account when I was a bank teller.
- Yeah. - There's many things.
- And?
- I'm sorry for sleeping with all your friends.
- Yeah.
- Sorry to all the ladies.
- He did sleep with some of my friends
and he's very proud of that.
Just don't name any names.
- Keep it to myself. - Okay.
My friends, on the other hand, deny it.
[sighs] We put up with a lot.
- And how many check you write me?
- Writing bad checks. - Yeah.
Writing bad checks to you.
When I was younger, you know, there was one time
when I needed like $10,000 to pay off my credit card bill
and I wrote her the check and then she paid it off,
but then I noticed in my account
that she never deposited the check.
So then once I noticed that,
I just kept doing that for years.
- Anytime 10,000, 20,000.
- She's about to cash 'em all tomorrow.
- 250,000.
How much? How many times?
- Now, I'm about to cry. - Yeah.
- Yes, you have to remember that.
I still have that check.
- If she cashed those checks, um, you know,
it wouldn't be good
'cause there ain't no cash in that account.
- Are you about to cry?
- [sighs]
No.
- No? - That's a no.
I'm a sensitive guy. I can only take so much.
- The experience of Washington making amends
was very entertaining.
Probably shouldn't have made a joke out of it.
You know, he's so serious nowadays.
What are you doing?
- I'm giving you a hug. - I don't hug.
Stop touching me!
- Love you, Mom.
[sighs]
- Let her smell you like she usually does.
- [sniffs] - [laughs]
- Thanks, Mom.
- You know she does that to you and she doesn't do that to me.
- Smell Judy, Mom.
- No, she hasn't done it in like, 20 years--oh, God.
- Judy needs love too, Mom. - Oh, okay.
- She's always competing with me for your's and dad's love.
- I've already won.

- Cheers to the wives of troublemakers.
- Yes. - Mmm.
- I'm glad we can do this girl's night out without the guys.
- I love Christine.
Only recently have her and I become
a lot closer now that she's married to Wash's friend.
We have this group of women
who were all married to these bad boys.
- I think we're birds of a feather.
- We are. - Yeah.
That we've flocked together.
- Cheers to the wives of the troublemakers.
- Yes. [laughs]
- We understand each other.
The struggle with being married
to one of these Washington Hos.
It's almost like a support group.
Luckily, you know, he took a turn and we're better now,
but again it's new.
You know--and you know, he wants a child.
Like, he wants another baby. - Give it time.
- I know, but what's so scary is it's so unpredictable.
I would love to have another baby.
I would love to have more kids,
but I have my reservations
because we're brand new in this journey of sobriety.
But at the same time,
I realized that our relationship
really can't move forward unless I give him a chance.
For me to have another child, there has to be,
first of all, financial stability,
and hopefully, this car dealership
is it for him and he sticks to it.
- He's like-- he's working hard there, so...
- He's a hard worker. - Yeah.
- He really is.
- He can sell ice to an Eskimo.
- That's what I say.
- He can sell anything. - Right.
- But don't you have your new business, I heard?
- Yeah, I just closed on a shopping center.
- That's great.
- So that's our first big collaboration--
- Uh-huh. - And I'm the landlord.
Any complaints,
any maintenance,
it goes to me-- and not Wash, but me.
And so the planets aligned.
Like, I'm open into getting off birth control
and getting pregnant.
- Cheers, babe. I love you.
- I love you. - Cheers.
